Section 913
Lin Chen found a stone bench and sat down, looking at the big locust tree in front of him calmly. The locust tree had already withered and had no vitality.
Lin Chen just sat here for most of the day, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he was in a daze.
It was getting late.
Lin Chen got up and left.
Just as he left, the originally withered locust tree actually gave birth to a breath of life, and sparse buds slowly grew from the branches, which was very interesting.
After returning home.
Grandma Wen asked: "Achen, how is the situation?"
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Not suitable."
Grandma Wen didn't ask more questions after hearing this, but said: "It's okay, there are several villages around, and there are some good girls. Grandma will look for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, grandma, I'm going to cook now."
Lin Chen nodded gently and walked to the kitchen.
Grandma Wen sat in the yard and murmured: "Let me think about which girl is most suitable for Achen. Lifelong events can't be sloppy..."
After a while,
Lin Chen cooked a few dishes, and the rich aroma filled the air.
"Grandma! It's time to eat!"
Lin Chen put the dishes on the table and said to Grandma Wen who was thinking in the yard.
Grandma Wen got up and went back to the house. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, she praised: "Our Achen is handsome, hardworking, educated, and can cook well. There will definitely be a girl who likes you."
Chapter 973 Who is Zhuangzi?
The next day.
Qingshui School.
"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
A group of children rushed into the school and greeted Lin Chen when they saw him.
Some adults around waved and greeted Lin Chen when they saw him.
In the past ten years, Lin Chen has acted as a teacher, responsible for teaching children to read and write. Everyone respects him very much. Whenever there is something good, the villagers will think of him and Grandma Wen first.
You know, Qingshui Village is located in a remote area, and most people make a living in this village. They rarely go out, and very few people can read.
Lin Chen's arrival solved the children's difficulty in reading and learning to read. Everyone was naturally very happy. No matter where you are, knowing how to read and understand culture is extremely important.
Lin Chen smiled and nodded to everyone, then entered the school.
"Hello, sir!"
A group of children immediately stood up and saluted Lin Chen respectfully.
Lin Chen waved his hand gently and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
All the children sat down, their faces were tense and very serious, and their eyes were full of expectations. Every time Lin Chen taught, it was very interesting, which made them enthusiastic and they would never miss it.
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Today I will tell you a story about Zhuangzi's Happy Journey!"
Everyone was more excited when they heard it.
A child asked curiously, "Sir, who is Zhuangzi?"
Lin Chen replied, "Zhuangzi is a very powerful predecessor of the Taoist school."
"May I ask sir, how powerful is this Zhuangzi? Is he as powerful as the village chief and the blacksmith?"
Another child asked hurriedly.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Each has its own merits! But relatively speaking, Senior Zhuangzi is probably a little more powerful."
"Hiss! He is even more powerful than the village chief and the blacksmith!"
The children were shocked when they heard this.
In their hearts, the village chief and the blacksmith were already the most powerful people in their village. They didn't expect that Senior Zhuangzi was even more powerful than them.
Lin Chen said, "Listen carefully, everyone! I'm going to give a lecture next!"
Everyone immediately quieted down, looking very serious, waiting for the next class. .
Lin Chen whispered, "There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; it turns into a bird, named Peng. Peng's back is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; it flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky..."
The children widened their eyes, and a huge fish appeared in their brains, covering the sky and the sun, thousands of miles in size, making it difficult for people to see its full picture.
"What a big fish. How big of an iron pot should I use to put it in?"
A child said dully while wiping his saliva.
Outside the school.
A group of adults were also listening to the class attentively.
The blacksmith and the village chief looked extremely solemn. The more they listened, the more frightened they were. What Lin Chen was talking about at this moment actually involved the fierce beast Kunpeng.
Although their strength was weak, they had naturally heard of what Kunpeng was. It was an ancient fierce beast. Every time it went out, it was destined to leave mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. It was extremely cruel.
On the side, Uncle Zhao appeared with Zhao Linger.
Uncle Zhao said seriously: "Girl, I think Mr. Lin is pretty good. Don't you really want to consider it?"
"I am a cultivator. It's too early for me to talk about marriage. I just want to work hard to cultivate, become a strong person, and have the real right to speak."
Zhao Linger said in a serious tone.
After entering Tianji Academy to cultivate, she realized how mediocre she was.
Compared with those high-ranking figures, she was as insignificant as an ant. Their words could decide the life and death of countless people.
Compared with those noble young ladies, she seemed very humble. She even felt inferior and doubted her origin.
But she was unwilling to leave it like this. She wanted to work hard to become stronger. Her origin was not something she could decide. She had to fight for what her parents could not give her.
One day, she would become a real strong person, leave Qingshui Village, leave Tianji City, and go to a wider world.
"Why!"
Uncle Zhao smiled bitterly and did not continue talking about this topic.
He actually thinks Lin Chen is very good, handsome, educated, knowledgeable, and very polite and humble. If you look at this young man in the village, you really can't find anyone else.
Unfortunately, the other party is not a cultivator.
Otherwise, it should be able to get into Zhao Ling'er's eyes.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Lin Chen who was teaching seriously with a calm expression. Her original intention would not change. No matter how outstanding he was, he was just an ordinary person after all, destined to be in a different world from her.
"Um?"
But after listening to Lin Chen's class for a while, Zhao Linger was shocked.
"If you take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth and guard against the debate of the six qi, and you want to swim infinitely, how can you treat him badly? Therefore, it is said: The perfect person has no self, the god has no merit, the saint has no name..."
Zhao Ling'er murmured to herself, frowning. This passage made her feel very mysterious, as if there was some secret hidden in it, but she could not grasp it and felt extremely uncomfortable.
After all, her realm is too low. If she had a higher level of cultivation, she might not be able to understand this passage.
After finishing talking about Xiaoyaoyou.
Lin Chen looked at the children around him and said, "Can everyone understand this Happy Journey?"
"cannot!"
The children said loudly, the only thing they remembered was the previous sentence, there is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun.
For the rest of them, let alone understanding, even remembering is a problem.
Lin Chen said with a smile: "It's okay. I will teach you this article in the future, and everyone will slowly remember it. In addition, when I was giving the lecture just now, I guess some students had doubts. Now You can ask me anything.”
"May I ask, sir, are there really fishes thousands of miles in size between heaven and earth?"
A child curiously asked that the largest monster he had ever seen was an iron-horned rhinoceros that the blacksmith uncle and the village chief grandfather brought in the desert. It was ten meters tall and very shocking.
It was difficult for him to understand how big a fish that was thousands of miles big was.
Lin Chen whispered: "Yes, but this kind of fish is hidden very deep. You can't see it at all on ordinary days. If you become the most powerful person in the world in the future, you may be able to get a glimpse of its true appearance."
"Excuse me, sir, the sun and moon are out, but the fire of love never ceases. Isn't it also difficult for light? What does this sentence mean?"
A little girl with a ponytail bit her nails and asked curiously.
Lin Chen said: "The meaning of this sentence is that the sun and moon have come out, and the candlelight has not been extinguished, but it wants to add glow to the sun and moon. Isn't it difficult? The side meaning is the light of fireflies. Don't Don’t do things that are useless if you don’t know what you can do.”
"Of course, my understanding is the opposite. In my opinion, the light of a firefly may not be able to become a prairie fire. Just like all living beings, they are born humble. But as long as they work hard and continue to shine with their own brilliance, they may not be able to illuminate themselves. A piece of heaven and earth!”
The children seemed to understand but still nodded vigorously...
Chapter 974 The bandits from Heifeng Village are coming
More than an hour later.
Lin Chen whispered: "That's the end of today's class!"
"stand up!"
The little girl with a ponytail said immediately, and a group of children stood up immediately.
"Goodbye sir!"
the children shouted.
Lin Chen nodded with a smile and walked out of the school.
Outside, as always, there were many adults standing.
"Hello Mr. Lin!"
When he saw Lin Chen coming out, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
"The happy journey that Mr. Lin talked about is really mysterious!"
