Chapter 304: Preaching
Li Qi looked at Liu Junyi who was making tea.
It must be said that although this modest gentleman was not so handsome, his temperament was indeed very attractive.
He was wearing a green shirt, a jade belt on his waist, ordinary soap-colored boots, and his long hair was combed very smoothly, neatly tied into a ponytail with a drawstring, which was very regular. At first glance, he was full of scholarly temperament.
But...
Are these two brothers?
It seems that there is nothing wrong. They both have the surname Liu, so it is not strange to say that they are a family.
At this time, Liu Junyi looked up and was a little surprised, just like Li Qi.
However, he immediately reacted and smiled at Li Qi: "Ah, Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to know my brother? This is really fate. He is as discerning as ever to make friends like you."
His voice was as warm, soft, and unhurried as when he first met, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
The furnishings around him were also quite in line with his style. They were just ordinary household facilities, nothing fancy, and the tea was not good, just barely quenching thirst.
Li Qi also immediately bowed: "Liu..."
He just opened his mouth, but found that he could not call him "Brother Liu" as he was used to, because there was already Liu Canzhi here, and there couldn't be two Brother Lius.
So he thought about it, changed his name, and praised: "Liu Zhijiang, I didn't expect that you and Canzhi were brothers from the same clan. It's really a prosperous family. The family tradition is learning. There are two students from the Imperial College in the same family."
This is Liu Junyi's position, the Imperial College Zhijiang, who is in charge of the positions of assistant doctors and assistant teachers, and specializes in teaching classics.
"Haha, it has nothing to do with the family tradition. It's purely because we two brothers have good brains." Liu Canzhi, who was unruly, laughed immediately and took all the credit on himself.
Liu Junyi seemed to be accustomed to the unruly appearance of this cousin, and didn't feel too strange, just smiled.
After laughing, Liu Canzhi seemed to remember something, and he immediately asked: "By the way, Brother Li, you haven't told me how you know my elder brother, tell me quickly."
"There's nothing much to say about this matter, but if Brother Liu wants to hear it, I can tell you. Liu Zhijiang and I met at the state banquet at that time."
Li Qi then talked about the situation at that time in the car.
Liu Junyi didn't say anything, but just listened to Li Qi silently.
Li Qi naturally wouldn't brag about anything, but told everything about the past, saying what happened without adding any personal opinions.
Liu Canzhi listened, but suddenly clapped his hands: "Great! You, Li Qi, when I asked you about your background, you didn't want to tell me, it turns out that you are the son of Wushen Mountain! No wonder you have magic tools made by Wudao!"
Li Qi hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
But Liu Canzhi didn't seem to care much. He immediately asked Li Qi to continue talking, and then while happily commenting on the performance of both sides, he drove into the Imperial College from another small road outside.
This small road is quite secret, and I don't know how he found it. There is actually a loophole that can directly come to the backyard of the school.
Start from the backyard and then come to the gate of the college.
During this period, the three of them chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After arriving at the front gate, Liu Canzhi stopped the carriage: "Okay, we are here. We are not the ones who participate in the sermon. Brother Li, you get off here and walk through the front door to the dojo."
"Thank you, Brother Liu, it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have to block people outside until they dispersed." Li Qi smiled bitterly and thanked Liu Canzhi.
Liu Canzhi waved his hand: "Hey, why are you and I talking about this between friends? The magic weapon you gave me really helped a lot. I haven't thanked you yet. Why do you thank me all day long?"
Liu Junyi also stood up and saluted with both hands. This is a farewell etiquette: "I am not familiar with Mr. Li yet, but I know from the debate with Mr. Li that he is full of knowledge and amazing talent. I believe that preaching will not be difficult for you, but I hope it will still inspire you. The two of us brothers will wait for you here. It's just right to celebrate for you after the end."
"Yes, if you didn't say it, I forgot. After the sermon, Brother Li should have nothing to do, right? It's just right to come to my house as a guest. You came from afar and came to Chang'an alone for the first time. How can you do your best to be a host!" Liu Canzhi stood up happily beside him: "It's just right to celebrate for you. You have to give this face, right?"
One of them is gentle and warm, and the other is careless, just like water and fire, but they are both polite and restrained people.
Li Qi remembered it in his heart, and quickly returned the gift and agreed.
Then, he got off the car and walked to the dojo alone.
The place for preaching was at the gate of the Imperial Academy.
All the crowds came from outside, and they squeezed around the dojo in circles. Therefore, it was very difficult to get in from the outside, which was simply torture.
But now Li Qi came out of the Imperial Academy, so he was naturally unimpeded.
When Li Qi walked out of the gate, Mo Benglan and Li Lieqi had already stood in the dojo.
Mo Benglan's clansmen had returned to the crowd, looking forward to the performance of their own proud son of heaven. Mo Benglan had also packed his clothes. Now he was dressed neatly, his clothes were gorgeous, and his face was even powdered, dressed like a nobleman.
Li Lieqi was a little rougher than him, but she had a straight back, wore tight pants, had strong and slender legs, a heroic temperament, and a good appearance. She was still very eye-catching while leading a ten-foot-tall horse.
However, when Li Qi came, everyone focused their attention on him.
Because he came out from inside, although he was actually the most ordinary person dressed.
Although he was handsome, he was also in the normal range, not so shocking.
His skin was a little dark, which made him look a little worse.
His clothes were just ordinary cloth clothes, because he bought them in Tang country, so they were Tang country styles, and he looked like someone randomly found on the street.
The two classmates showed extremely surprised expressions to Li Qi.
This person... lives in the school?
However, Li Qi didn't care about that. He came to the center of the dojo and smiled and nodded to Li Lieqi and Mo Benglan.
Li Lieqi knew that Li Qi was still frowning outside before, so she was very surprised. How come he came out of the Imperial College in such a short time?
Mo Benglan didn't know why, but still nodded slightly to Li Qi out of politeness. It can be seen that this nobleman didn't want to pay attention to Li Qi and his attitude was very cold.
Li Qi didn't care about that, and didn't talk. He just sat down and waited for the sermon.
Just after Li Qi sat down, he saw a doctor from the Imperial College coming forward.
Doctors from the Imperial College, the sixth rank, were the ones who gave exam questions to the students of the Imperial College in the past.
The doctor from the Imperial College coughed twice: "Three new students have arrived, so, the sermon begins."
Li Qi was caught off guard.
He thought there would be an opening ceremony, a grand welcome, etc., but they just arrived and then it started?
It's that simple?
What's the fuss?
What are so many people doing around?
But the next second, Li Qi was struck by lightning.
Preaching!
Real preaching!
Not a show of skill, nor a performance like Li Qi had done before,
but a direct display of humanity through reality!
But when the doctor from the Imperial College came out, a very loud and incredible voice emanated from his body.
Yes, it was not a conversation with words.
But it was a more obscure and extremely informative rhyme of Taoism!
As their voices rang out, an almost unbelievable stream of information rushed into Li Qi's brain!
The universe in the eyes of humanity, the way this world should look, its origin, development, process, and even the future, countless information is condensed in the incomprehensible rhymes of Taoism.
Many things that cannot be described in words are all hidden in these rhymes of Taoism!
This is a sermon, this is the doctor of Taixue in front of him, trying to explain things that are almost beyond the intelligence of mortals.
The minds of mortals will be confused by these things.
It's like...
Mathematical formulas?
For example, a simple area formula reveals the relationship between the length of a geometric body and its area.
The famous E=mc, that is, the conservation of mass and energy equation, explains the relationship between energy and mass.
Revealing the relationship between things is revealing the mysterious veil of the universe.
This is how Li Qi feels now.
The mysterious and obscure rhymes of Taoism constantly explain the relationship between all things in the universe in the understanding of humanity.
The relationship between people, the relationship between people and things, and the relationship between all things.
Most of the appearance of the universe is described, regardless of whether Li Qi can understand it or not.
Those overall pictures beyond the local scenes, whether it is the extremely tiny surrounding parts and the complex and diverse macro parts, are harmoniously combined to form this world.
This is to describe this world from a high place!
Li Qi immediately sat up, and he really knew that the rhyme and ears were opened at the same time, and began to listen and feel the other party's preaching.
The transformation of heaven and earth is endless.
This world is like a furnace of golden juice, melting endlessly.
In ancient times, there were saints who cast it and made it into a tool, a model for adults, and guarded it so that it would not be too middle.
This world is chaotic and disorderly, and naturally tends to chaos and killing, just like a pot of chaotic soup. It is the saints who cast laws, rituals, rules, and systems, and then became models for people and stipulated the best order of this world.
Bit by bit, the doctor of the Imperial Academy above began to talk about the universe understood by humanity.
Just as the creatures of the sky are formed in autumn, the saints hide them. When people are born, desires are stronger than emotions, and the saints educate and guard against them.
The more Li Qi listened, the more he felt that these rhymes made sense.
But...
While it made sense, Li Qi always felt that something was not right.
Something was wrong, something was not right.
But he could not tell what was wrong.
However, this doubt made Li Qi open his eyes and stop immersing himself in the sermon.
After regaining consciousness, he looked around.
First, there were two classmates.
Whether it was Li Lieqi or Mo Benglan, they were all intoxicated and immersed in this sermon.
I am afraid that countless questions in their hearts were suddenly cleared, and all the previous doubts were revealed, and countless things were understood from it.
But Li Qi was different. He could not accept many human explanations of the world. This sermon was useful to him, but not so useful.
Li Qi looked back.
But he saw that the millions of people who were squeezed behind him all sat down quietly and listened to the sermon quietly.
However, some people were really listening, while some people were just anxiously trying to listen, but they could not understand it.
Some were dejected, and some even got up and left directly.
It was easy to leave at this point, because everyone was no longer crowding and was listening quietly, so you could walk out from them.
Nearly 70% of the people could not understand, but only a few left.
Even if they could not understand, they seemed to have to stay here, even if they were sweating profusely.
After all, the Tao rhyme that was spread contained the answers to countless questions. As long as you could understand the meaning, you could fundamentally help them solve the difficulties in their practice.
But the preacher did not seem to care about these. He just kept telling countless complicated information and repeating these Tao rhymes.
Unfortunately, in Li Qi's opinion, the preacher himself did not seem to understand what was being said in these Tao rhymes.
It was like a junior high school student writing an essay, mechanically piling up all kinds of advanced terms and gorgeous words, but in the end the whole article was unreadable. Not only could others not understand it, but they themselves might not understand what they were saying.
At this time, Li Qi suddenly remembered the ancient scriptures he had read.
That was... the real subtle meaning.
Through ordinary words, with the least amount of information, the outline of the Tao can be depicted.
Everyone who reads these scriptures can comprehend their own understanding, and most of them can be directly applied in practice, becoming a guide for the Tao.
There is obviously nothing strange, nothing that contains any great way or magic, just a few lines of text, a few thousand words, even ordinary people can easily copy it down and make many copies...
But such things can still guide and inspire Li Qi, a seventh-grade cultivator.
I really don’t know what kind of wise man wrote it.
This is probably the masterpiece of high-grade cultivators.
The Tao rhyme in front of him seems to be high-end and full of a certain mysterious charm, but Li Qi doesn’t feel right no matter how he listens to it. Compared with those ordinary scriptures, the sermon in front of him is a little less interesting.
However, these thoughts are only a moment.
In fact, at the moment when Li Qi was distracted and looked around, no longer listening to the sermon but just turned his head to look at the crowd——
Suddenly, a ruler fell from the sky, trying to hit him on the head!
This ruler appeared out of thin air without any sound or trace.
But Li Qi really knew Yun. Although it was silent, it seemed that this thing was pulled down by something, and Li Qi caught the pulling movement and reacted immediately!
Li Qi subconsciously resisted, stretched out his hand, and punched the ruler fiercely. This punch contained the earth's energy, heavy and hard, and directly hit the ruler.
Bang hit it.
Li Qi's mind suddenly became dizzy.
Something penetrated his fist and drilled into his brain!
