When Fang Jian was returning home carrying a bundle of firewood and a huge lotus root, he saw Mei Xianzhang standing in the yard swinging a wooden stick.
"Zhang'er, what are you doing?" Fang Jian asked in confusion.
Mei Xianzhang turned around, and the moment he saw Fang Jian, a genuine smile broke out on his face. "Dad, I'm studying the Analects."
"..." Fang Jian blinked and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you were swinging a stick just now, right?"
"Yes, the most important word in The Analects is 'swing'. I am swinging now," said Mei Xianzhang.
Fang Jian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Zhang'er, who taught you this?"
Mei Xianzhang said: "Someone came to our house just now, and he taught me..." Then Mei Xianzhang told Fang Jian the whole story after that person came.
Fang Jian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He said, "Where did this old scoundrel come from to mislead the young people? Don't let me catch him."
"But Dad, I think what he said makes sense." Mei Xianzhang said.
Fang Jian said, "You read here now, I will be back soon."
"Oh." Mei Xianzhang responded obediently, then sat back down obediently.
Fang Jian came to the kitchen and called out the Kitchen God Feng Ling.
"Greetings to Master Hongqing." The Kitchen God bowed.
Fang Jian asked Feng Ling, "Which immortal came to my house today?"
Feng Ling smiled upon hearing this and said, "Master Hongqing, your disciple has truly been blessed with great fortune."
"Oh?" Fang Jian asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Feng Ling said, "Replying to Master Hongqing, the god who visited us today is the Great Sage Master."
"Confucius?" Fang Jian asked in astonishment.
Feng Ling nodded and said, "Yes, it was this Confucian sage who not only helped your disciple drive away Shao Laizi and his group, but also personally taught her the highest level of Confucianism."
Fang Jian asked, "Are you talking about the Analects?"
"Yes." Feng Ling nodded seriously.
Fang Jian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Don't you think there's something wrong with his teaching? Turning over 'The Analects' as 'Lunyu' isn't that misleading to the students?"
"Hey, Master Hongqing is wrong. Is there something I should say that is not worth saying?" Feng Ling said.
Fang Jian said, "Speak."
Feng Ling said, "If you are just an ordinary person, then the Analects is enough. But if you want to embark on the path of spiritual practice, then the Lunyu is also indispensable."
When Fang Jian heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "What you said seems to make sense. I can't refute it."
Feng Ling smiled slightly, and Fang Jian then asked, "Are you sure it's Confucius himself? And not a demon in disguise?"
Feng Ling nodded and said, "I'm sure it's the Great Sage Master himself. I saw him when I reported to the Heavenly Court at the end of last year. It was indeed him."
"That's good." Fang Jian nodded, but he quickly added, "But Zhang'er has turned the Analects into Lunyu. What will she do when she takes the imperial examinations in the future?"
"Ah, this..." Feng Ling was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Master Hongqing, I suddenly remembered that there is another family that needs my blessing. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Feng Ling turned into a ray of divine light and flew into the stove shrine.
"..." Looking at Feng Ling who left quickly, Fang Jian was speechless. He stayed in the kitchen for a while and then turned around and walked out again.
Fang Jian came to the yard and saw Mei Xianzhang studying attentively. He sighed slightly. This child might suffer from schizophrenia in the future.
At dusk, Mei Xianzhang stopped studying, put away his books, and carried the firewood that Fang Jian had chopped into the room to prepare cooking.
At this time, Fang Jian took out the lotus root and said, "Zhang'er, this is the lotus root I picked in the mountains today. You can use it to make soup."
This is a part of the body of a demon fairy in the Xuanxian realm. Although she used it to cast a spell to escape, it is definitely a great tonic for Mei Xianzhang.
Mei Xianzhang looked at the lotus root in Fang Jian's arms and his eyes widened. "Dad, are you sure this is a lotus root and not wood?"
Fang Jian laughed and said, "Dad, can't you even tell the difference between a lotus root and wood? This is enough for you to eat for several meals."
Mei Xianzhang hurried forward and reached out to hold the lotus root. As soon as she held it in her arms, Fang Jian loosened his grip. The next moment, there was a "bang" and the lotus root knocked Mei Xianzhang to the ground.
Mei Xianzhang's arms were pinned to the ground by the lotus roots. She cried out, then raised her head and said, "Dad, my arm is broken."
"Ah?" Fang Jian finally realized that this was not an ordinary lotus root. He quickly bent down to move the lotus root away, and then saw that the lower half of Mei Xianzhang's arm was directly crushed, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
Fang Jian quickly took out the elixir and fed it to Mei Xianzhang. He then used his magic power to reshape Mei Xianzhang's bones and reconnect her tendons. The medicinal power of the elixir began to restore her skin and flesh.
Although Fang Jian was extremely fast, Mei Xianzhang was still sweating all over from the pain in this very short period of time.
Fang Jian held Mei Xianzhang in his arms and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Master has never taken care of a child before."
Mei Xianzhang shook his head and said, "Dad, help me cut the lotus root."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded.
After a cup of tea, Mei Xianzhang's injuries and physical strength were all recovered, and then he went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.
Fang Jian drew out the Taiyi Golden Light Sword and began to cut lotus roots in the main hall.
Half an hour later, Mei Xianzhang brought a pot of fragrant lotus root soup to the table.
Mei Xianzhang didn't cook any other dishes, just the lotus root soup to go with his rice. After finishing it, he smacked his lips and said to Fang Jian, "Dad, this lotus root is so fragrant! Where did you get such a big lotus root?"
