Chapter 139 Debate (4K)
Compared with courses such as Temperament and Hundred Beasts, the "compulsory courses" such as Talisman, Sword, and Body have changed more.
Cui Yixian, who studies swords, and Xi Yangyu, who studies school, did not return to the academy after the New Year holidays. The two courses are temporarily in charge of other doctors and professors.
Xue Gong internally said that the two directors had important affairs to deal with, and neither said what kind of important affairs they were, nor how long they would be away.
Li Ang speculated that it might be related to the Cui Jiu who was injured in the barren mountain before.
Cui Yixian and Xi Yangyu may have left Chang’an before the winter vacation—this also explains why the change that occurred in the thirteenth mansion on the Second Street of Shengyefang did not attract Xi Yangyu who lived in the same workshop.
Is a level one monster discovered in a hundred thousand barren mountains? Or have the ruins of the Demon sect been discovered?
No matter what it is, it is definitely very difficult to get two Candle Heaven Realm monks to leave Beijing at the same time (this is only on the surface, and there will definitely be more monks accompanying them secretly).
In addition to Nianxue and Jianxue getting new doctors, the form of Talisman and Art classes has also changed.
After the new students reach the hiding place, they can write more effective symbols and release more spells.
Now the main teaching content of these two courses has changed from "how to write talismans to cast spells" to "how not to kill yourself by mistake in the process of writing talismans and cast spells".
The essence of Talisman is to use a special "language" to direct the aura of heaven and earth to run according to the established procedures.
Whether it is the material strokes of the talisman or the gesture language movements during the operation, it will affect the final effect.
Arbitrarily modifying, or even trying to "innovate", it is likely to cause unknown consequences.
For example, if you want to use [Sound Insulation], the surrounding air will be taken away, and you will suffocate yourself.
I wanted to write a [Warm Wind Talisman], but accidentally added an extra stroke, setting the whole room on fire or something.
In order to emphasize the seriousness of this matter, the school let the freshmen read a large stack of books—these are all accident records of former students.
Freshmen, if you don’t want to die young, or be disabled, or hurt others, behave yourself.
Except for classrooms and other prescribed occasions, spiritual power cannot be released anywhere. Offenders will deduct credits.
This rule caused complaints from the freshmen. It is like giving a fisherman a boom and a pond but not allowing him to fish.
Giving an entire wine cellar to an alcoholic but not allowing him to drink,
torture.
If the new students want to lift this ban in advance, they must first reach the middle or high level of the hidden state, determine their own path, and prove that they will not easily lose control.
In order to achieve these conditions, the enthusiasm of the freshmen has increased a lot, and many students can be seen in the cafeteria who are studying while eating.
Pata.
Li Ang put the dinner plate and a Neo Confucian journal on the table,
Li Wei, who was burying his head and munching on meat (body training courses require a lot of energy), noticed the smile on his face and asked, "What's the matter, Risheng, so happy."
"See a paper on glass lenses."
Li Ang is indeed very happy. This issue of Xuegong Neo-Confucian Journal published an article written by a monk of Luli Academy about [After two glass lenses of different shapes are superimposed, they can see clearly in the distance like eagle eye surgery] Things].
is the telescope.
With the Neo-Confucianism atmosphere of the Academy, there will naturally be doctoral re-engraving experiments.
With a telescope, there is a concave-convex lens,
With concave-convex lenses, optics will be born, astronomy will be promoted, and reading glasses, myopia glasses, and even microscopes will be invented.
With the help of a microscope, ordinary people can also see subtle things clearly, such as the veins of leaves, the shape of epidermal cells, bacteria, yeast, microorganisms, etc.
Li Ang has already made up his mind. After someone gets out the microscope, he will immediately start a series of experiments to prove that bacteria are the cause of human disease, and promote the cause of drinking hot water and public health.
Famous doctors and genius doctors say a thousand sentences and ten thousand sentences, but they are not as intuitive as thousands of bugs wriggling under the microscope.
Drink, give me hot water!
Li Ang described the subtleties of this paper in a few words, Yang Yu and Li Wei blinked, as if they understood.
"How about you, what book are you reading?"
Li Ang asked casually.
Li Wei replied: "I failed the history of our country twice in a row, and I am reading the history of the former Sui Dynasty. Qilang's agricultural studies are about to die, and I am reading agricultural studies books, trying to make up for it."
"Agronomy can also be passed?"
Li Ang looked at Yang Yu in surprise, and asked, "I see that you were very diligent in watering and fertilizing the farmland when you contracted it."
Yang Yu's eyes flickered and said: "Uh, bad luck, a little accident happened."
Li Wei ruthlessly exposed it next to him: "A small accident, it refers to someone trying to save effort in the farmland contracted by himself, and using a water-collecting amulet to irrigate the farmland. As a result, the operation made a mistake, causing the farmland to be flooded with water, and the previous six months of hard work were wasted."
"Isn't this method introduced in the journals of Neo-Confucianism? Who would have thought that the air was humid in those days, and too much rain was attracted."
Yang Yu rubbed his forehead in pain, "I'm afraid it's too late to replant other crops now, so I can only think of other ways.
For example, follow the example of Zhongshu Ling, make a rare peony and so on. "
"Are you going to buy and sell by force? You are not afraid that the Department of Political Affairs and Education will find you."
Li Ang shook his head helplessly. Yang Yu was talking about an anecdote about Chang'an a few years ago.
People in Yu State love peonies like crazy, but an old monk in Jinchangfang Ci'en Temple cultivated an extremely rare and beautiful bright red peony, which was kept secret.
An old monk was out of vanity and couldn't help showing the peony to others. The news spread, and the dignitaries stretched out their hands to ask for it.
The old monk was powerless to resist, and in the end he could only watch the cherished peony being taken by Xue Ji, who is currently the secretary of the Zhongshu Province, and also the elder brother of Queen Xue.
For this reason, Zhong Shuling held a grand banquet in an exaggerated manner to celebrate his acquisition of rare peonies.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the students of Xuegong's agronomy class can breed novel and beautiful flower varieties, not only can they get rich overnight, but they may not be able to avoid the agronomy class in the future.
"Well"
Hearing the Department of Political Affairs and Education, Yang Yu's words froze instantly. The academy has a very low tolerance for academic fraud. Bringing a new peony flower from outside and claiming that it was cultivated by itself is obviously a kind of academic fraud.
"Risheng save me—"
Yang Yu, who really had no choice but to cry, said with a mournful face, "Give me a hand.
If you fail the agronomy class this year, you have to retake it tomorrow, with the freshmen of the next year! "
Repeating a year of agronomy will waste a lot of time. What's more, I have to go with the next class of freshmen, which is a bit embarrassing to Yang Qilang of Chonghuafang.
"I told you I'm not Doraemon."
Li Ang complained silently, and said casually: "I don't know much about improving flowers, not to mention the time is too late.
Well. Find some time and go to the East and West markets to buy some oranges, oranges, tangerines and other fruit trees. "
"clear,"
Yang Yu completely trusted Li Ang, nodded immediately and said, "And then."
Li Ang said casually: "Observe the strange branches growing on the fruit tree for a long time, and compare them with other branches.
Such as leaf size, width, whether there are nicks, petiole length, and fruit size and shape, etc.
Collect data, summarize and summarize, and write a paper with the title of [The fruit on the mutant branch is different from the normal fruit] and you will be able to make a difference. "
Yang Yu said incredulously, "Is that all right?"
"certainly."
Li Ang said casually: "It's just a first-year agronomy thesis, it doesn't need to be very advanced."
That is, somatic mutations occur in the tissues and organs of plants during the process of cell division, and the fruits on the mutant shoots mutate, showing different traits from the original variety, and this trait can be passed on to offspring through asexual reproduction.
Selecting budding branches and cultivating them is an important way of fruit tree breeding, which can screen out potential excellent mutant varieties more quickly and efficiently.
And the reason for choosing citrus
One reason is that citrus and apples are most prone to bud change,
The second reason is that Li Ang occasionally mentioned the lemon chicken feet as a snack to Chai Chai last time, which made Chai Chai obsess over it.
Pomelo, orange, tangerine, tangerine, etc. are all citrus plants. One of their major characteristics is that there is no reproductive isolation between original varieties, hybrids, and original varieties and hybrids, and they can be crossed at will.
Wild pomelo and wild mandarin produce oranges, wild pomelo and oranges produce grapefruit, mandarins and oranges produce tangerines, citrons and oranges produce lemons.
Among them, the relationship is constantly cut and messed up, which has a sense of sight of Greek mythology.
"Thank you Risheng for saving your life."
Yang Yu clasped his hands together and thanked again and again, "When I pass by your temple in the future, I must burn a few more sticks of incense."
"Don't."
Li Ang resolutely waved his hand and refused. It was too strange to be built a temple to commemorate him while he was still alive, just like Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers in Taoyuan, knelt down to the portrait of Guan Gong, and made a vow of life and death together.
"What are you talking about?"
Yong Hongzhong walked over with the plate in his hand. After he stopped stuttering, his whole body became much better, and his eyes became brighter.
"Recent assignments."
Yang Yu moved his seat slightly to allow Yong Hongzhong to sit down, "Huh? Leave note? Hongzhong, are you going to ask for leave this afternoon?"
"yes."
Yong Hongzhong nodded, "Ci'en Temple is going to hold a debate between monks and Taoists today. I'll go over to listen in and write a report for the academy newspaper."
Debating scriptures is one of the traditional activities of Buddhism. Two monks sit facing each other and discuss different issues by citing scriptures.
The competition is about the speculative ability of the two parties, the logical organization ability of language expression, the familiarity with classics and even the personality charm.
During the early days of Yu, Buddhist temple debates were very popular, and monks would use popular preaching methods to promote their own ideas and principles.
However, there are many kinds of entertainment in Chang'an now, and the simple debate in Buddhist temples is not as attractive as before, so it has become a debate between monks and Taoists.
Monks, Taoists, Confucian masters, Nestorian priests, Deacons of the Aojiao Church,
All parties compete on the same stage, gearing up to refute each other with passionate eloquence.
The whole debate conference will last for several days. When the debate is in full swing, no one can convince anyone. There will even be a live-action fight on the spot, and enmity will be buried for several years or more than ten years.
The intensity and excitement are far beyond the boring lectures, and attract a large number of Chang'an people to watch every year.
Yang Yu asked: "What is the theme of this year?"
"vegetarian diet."
Yong Hongzhong replied: "Can vegetarianism bring benefits?"
Li Wei was surprised and said: "Can this be argued?"
"Why not. This is already an interesting topic."
Yang Yu curled his lips and said: "In previous years, there were also topics such as [Is it wrong to meditate in order to purify the mind] and [Should burning incense in temples be grand or simple].
Really doubt that when the topic runs out, they will consider debating whether soft pillows are better or hard pillows. "
Yang Yu's family originally believed in Haotian devoutly, but after Yang Yu was admitted to the academy and opened his eyes, he didn't respect piety so much.
What's more, his friend has become a Wenqu star, medicine god, and son-song fairy who has descended to the mortal world, supervising tens of thousands of families to have children.
"Debating the scriptures"
Li Ang thought about it, but felt that he was not interested.
After he came up with the blood type theory before, he secretly went to the Jing Temple in Yiningfang to monitor it.
The Jing monk who said that they have a **** disaster is in the temple,
But Li Ang monitored for a while, but did not notice any abnormality.
"Risheng, aren't you going?"
Yong Hongzhong was a little disappointed. Debating eminent monks and Confucians at the conference is the fastest way for young scholars to become famous.
Two hundred years ago, Su Zi, who was only a disciple of the academy, used the argument that "monks not marrying wives and having children will lead to the decline of human beings" as an argument, arguing three eminent monks until they vomited blood on the spot, and became famous all over the world.
"not going."
Li Ang's database does not contain all kinds of scriptures and classics, and he just listened to it when he went there.
Unless he went up and gave a lecture on "Buddha is the Tao" with emotion, it would probably make the eminent monks so angry that three Buddhas were born, five Buddhas ascended to heaven,
By the way, the Taoists were so happy that they couldn't find North.
Facts have proved that Li Ang still underestimated the excitement of the debate between monks and Taoists to some extent.
After school in the academy, Li Ang returned home by carriage,
Along the way, I saw a large number of citizens rushing towards the Buddhist temple, and monks who were obviously not of the same sect, bickering while driving.
“Why do you see the speck in another’s eye but not the log in your own?”
"Purity comes from light, and supremacy comes from truth. If you have a grudge in your heart, everything you see will naturally be a grudge."
"Do you have to go all the way with me?"
“Where darkness goes, light must go with it.”
The smell of gunpowder in the words is getting stronger and stronger, and I doubt whether the two will fight before they rush to the temple.
Not long after Li Ang returned home, Li Leling's carriage arrived, and he picked up Chai Chai to play in the inner garden of the Qujiang Pool—there were a few new exotic beasts that were tributed by foreign countries.
After Li Leling and Chai Chai left, Li Ang was the only one left in the Jinchengfang mansion.
"Well, such a big house is indeed a bit deserted."
Li Ang talked to himself, released his thoughts, brought in a broom and dustpan, and cleaned the room.
His talent in learning is stronger than that of talisman. The total amount of spiritual power is not particularly high, but the accuracy is excellent, and he can multi-task,
Lying on the bench, you can use your thoughts to clean the room, light a fire to cook, and wash clothes.
"It's no wonder that except for Xi Yangyu, most of the Ph.D. students are bloated—they usually don't need to move much."
When Li Ang was enjoying the convenience of life brought by his practice,
dong dong dong,
There was a knock on the side door of the mansion, and human voices came from outside the door.
"Is Mr. Li Xiaolang at home?"
"Who is it?"
Li Ang frowned, got up from the chair, walked to the courtyard and opened the door.
There were two people standing outside the door, with metal plaques around their waists proving their identity as Zhenfusi magistrates.
"Is that Mr. Li Xiaolang?"
The two officers of the Zhenfu Division said respectfully and modestly: "We have received news that a woman in the party claimed to have seen you before Jiao Cheng disappeared.
Not only is Mr. Li Xiaolang free, but can he simply make an inquiry record at the Zhen Fu Division? "
