Jiang Suiyun felt a little uneasy when he saw Yang Ningyun's calm and confident expression. However, he thought again that being able to fly to the sky without giving birth to wings was undoubtedly a foolish dream.
Of course, he also knows that people who practice Qinggong can fly over walls and fly over walls, even three feet above the ground, but of course that is not the same as going to heaven.
Yang Ning followed everyone into Qionglin Residence today to listen to the lessons. To be fair, she really had a bit of a learning mentality.
Zhuo Qingyang is a contemporary scholar, and Yang Ning also saw that he admired Jiang Suiyun as a disciple. Although Yang Ning did not like Jiang Suiyun, thinking that famous teachers produce great disciples, Jiang Suiyun should still be somewhat sincere. Talent and practical learning.
After he came to this time and space, although he gradually adapted to it, he did not really integrate in his bones. Since he had the opportunity to come to this academy and there were talented people giving lectures, he might as well listen to it, or through cultural contact, he could learn more Integrate into the system of this era.
But the result disappointed him greatly.
I don't know if Jiang Suiyun is really talented or not, and Yang Ning is not sure, but what he said today was just talking nonsense and just making up some weird and unfounded stories to show his talent. Of course, there is no need to continue listening to such lectures.
Yang Ning was not polite. After the bet was concluded, he bowed his hand to Zhuo Qingyang and left Qionglin Residence in full view of everyone.
In fact, Yang Ning was in a good mood today when he met Xiaoyao in Qionglin Academy and reunited with old friends. But after half the class, Jiang Suiyun and Su Zixuan were like two flies, which made Yang Ning's mood worse. I really don’t want to stay here at Qionglin Academy.
After taking a few steps, I thought that I hadn't said hello to Xiaoyao yet, so I paused for a moment, but I thought it would be inappropriate to go over and say hello at this time. I thought that since Xiaoyao is studying here, there will always be a chance to see her in the future, and she can even send someone to see her. It shouldn’t be difficult for Duan Canghai to inquire about Xiaoyao’s family background.
After walking about ten steps, I heard Zhuo Qingyang's voice from behind: "Wait a moment!"
Yang Ning stopped and turned around, only to see Zhuo Qingyang walking over quickly. Yang Ning wondered if he had disturbed Jiang Suiyun's lecture. This old gentleman loved his disciples so much that he didn't have an attack just now. Are you here to trouble yourself now
However, he still said very respectfully: "Mr. Zhuo!"
Zhuo Qingyang walked up to Yang Ning, stroked his beard, and looked at Yang Ning carefully. His expression was as if he was admiring him, which made Yang Ning feel uncomfortable. He suddenly felt embarrassed and said with a smile: "Mr...Mr. Any advice?"
Zhuo Qingyang raised his hand and pointed to a hexagonal pavilion not far away and said, "Go and sit there." Without saying much, he walked over with his hands behind his back.
Yang Ning naturally couldn't refuse, so she could only follow him to the hexagonal pavilion. There was a round stone table in the hall with four stone piers on the four sides. Zhuo Qingyang sat down and pointed to the opposite side and said: "You also Sit down."
Yang Ning hesitated and finally sat down opposite Zhuo Qingyang.
"Be suspicious of anything that is not certain, and then try your best to discover the truth...!" Zhuo Qingyang sighed: "Qining, I underestimate you."
Yang Ning knew that he could never be too arrogant in front of this learned scholar, so he hurriedly said: "This is junior nonsense, sir...!"
"If you can talk nonsense like this, wouldn't you already be a saint?" Zhuo Qingyang rarely showed a heartfelt smile in front of Yang Ning, and then his expression became serious again and asked: "What did you just say? Those people, Thucydides, Ari... Well, I ask you, who are these people?"
Yang Ning thought to himself that this old boy seemed to want to get to the bottom of things. He had not been able to control it before and had come up with some theories that were beyond the scope of this era. At this time, facing Zhuo Qingyang alone, he naturally had to be more cautious. After thinking for a while, he said: "Like my husband, I am also a scholar."
He knew in his heart that although Zhuo Qingyang was a great scholar, compared with any of the names he had mentioned before, he was obviously still far behind.
"A scholar from overseas?"
Yang Ning nodded.
"Have you seen them?" Zhuo Qingyang asked.
Yang Ning shook his head.
"How do you know the names of these people?" Zhuo Qingyang asked with a hint of doubt.
Yang Ning just smiled and did not explain.
Zhuo Qingyang thought that Yang Ning was unwilling to reveal it. He nodded slightly and asked thoughtfully: "You just mentioned that there are various disciplines. What does philosophy mean?"
Yang Ning suddenly felt a little dizzy, but he had to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Philosophy is an overseas subject, and it is very complicated to talk about. In fact... let's put it this way, philosophy has been asking a few questions, who am I? , Where did I come from, and where am I going? This is the kind of question that philosophy needs to answer.”
Zhuo Qingyang was stunned and murmured: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?" He actually fell into deep thought.
Yang Ning wondered if the old gentleman had really started thinking about these issues, right
Not long after, Zhuo Qingyang raised his head and asked, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Mr. Zhuo, you're too polite. If you have any instructions, sir, it doesn't matter." Yang Ning immediately said: "If this junior can do it, I will naturally go all out."
Zhuo Qingyang nodded slightly, stroked his beard and smiled: "You just said that it is really not easy for these girls to study in the academy. Now in the academy, including me, there are only four gentlemen." After a pause, he lightly He sighed: "You have also seen that the youngest among us is over sixty years old, and the other three old gentlemen are not in very good health. One of them is teaching despite being ill...!"
Yang Ning frowned and said, "Teaching while you are sick? Mr. Zhuo, I'm sorry to say this, but with my qualifications and prestige, it's not difficult to find a few gentlemen to teach. Why...?"
"On the contrary." Zhuo Qingyang shook his head and said: "These old gentlemen in the academy are all close friends of me when I was young. They come to the academy to teach for my sake. I am not afraid to tell you. , they can't get much money from the academy every month, and they are not short of money. It's all because of my face that they share the same boat with me. Qionglin Academy has a good reputation, and there are more scolds than praises. Sound, since the first day Qionglin Academy opened, I don’t know how many people have been insulting me behind my back. Some people even secretly called me an old man and disrespectful, with ulterior motives. Hehe, since I have done these things, I have never cared about others. the opinion of."
Yang Ning was in awe and said: "If a person wants to do something extraordinary, he will always attract criticism. If you care about this or that, then you won't be able to do anything."
Zhuo Qingyang obviously deeply agreed with Yang Ning's words. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right. No matter what rumors he says, just do it yourself." Then he frowned and said, "Although I don't care about those words, my close friends also don't care. Not everyone has the courage to follow me and endure it without fear of what others say. In fact, in the past few years, I have written a few letters, inviting some learned and talented scholars to come and teach at Qionglin Academy, although the methods of replying are different. Different, but in the end no one wanted to enter the academy."
Yang Ning originally thought that the students in Qionglin Academy were young and beautiful, and that they would be a place where many people wanted to flock in. But then he realized that this was not the case. Qionglin Academy was different, but Because this is different, survival is not easy.
"I know what they think." Zhuo Qingyang sighed: "In the eyes of many people, entering Qionglin Academy to study is disrespectful and has evil intentions. Many scribes cherish their reputation, even if I It was useless to come forward. Later, I simply gave up on this idea. In the past two years, I have been thinking about whether I can cultivate female disciples with outstanding knowledge and let them pass on the incense of Qionglin Academy."
"Sir, this is a good idea." Yang Ning said immediately: "If a female gentleman teaches female students, no one will talk nonsense."
"But it is not easy to train a disciple with outstanding knowledge. Moreover, I feel that I am getting old in the past few years. I did not think of this before, and now it is quite hasty." Zhuo Qingyang was the only one who remained silent before saying: "Qining, I would like to ask you to teach in this academy, are you willing?"
Before Yang Ning could react for a moment, she said "ah" and asked, "What did you say, sir?"
"I want you to help Qionglin Academy, what do you think?" Zhuo Qingyang stared into Yang Ning's eyes, "Of course, I don't want you to stay at the academy all the time. I only hope that you can spare two to three days every month. During the time, I will go to the academy to give lectures to the children. If you can do this, I will be very grateful!"
Yang Ning opened her mouth and covered it for a moment.
He never imagined that Zhuo Qingyang would make such a request.
"You... you don't want to?" Seeing that Yang Ning didn't speak, Zhuo Qingyang felt a little disappointed in his eyes.
Yang Ning came back to his senses and said solemnly: "Sir, I really don't expect this junior to be so kind to you. Sir, if I can help you relieve your worries, I will certainly be obliged to do so, but... I am not very talented and I really don't know how to teach students. This... Don't get me wrong, sir. I'm afraid of everything, but I'm not afraid of others gossiping about me behind my back, hahaha, my reputation isn't that great anyway, it's just...!"
Zhuo Qingyang smiled heartily and said: "You don't have to think too much. What you said in the study hall today is already very good. Just teach it in your own way without any rules. Even if you have little talent and little knowledge, you don't have to You are self-effacing, in my opinion, you are hiding your secrets."
Yang Ning thought to herself that I am not hiding anything secretly, but after all, I have gained hundreds of years of experience, so I still have some ink in my stomach.
"Sir, actually I want to ask you a question." Yang Ning thought for a moment and finally asked: "What I just said on the stage, don't you think it's ridiculous, sir?"
"Absurd? Why is it ridiculous?" Zhuo Qingyang shook his head and said: "You yourself said that what you see with your eyes may not be real. You need to try your best to find the truth. I will not say that the square moon mentioned by Jiang Suiyun is fake. , I won’t say that your Milky Way is real, but you all have the right to speak, and I hope they can think for themselves about who is real and who is fake.”
Yang Ning thought to himself that Hongru was a Hongru after all, and his knowledge was indeed different from that of ordinary people. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Now that Mr. Zhuo has spoken, if I continue to be verbose, it will seem pretentious. But the younger generation has something to say first. Sometimes the younger generation speaks, too." I can talk nonsense and may say some very strange things, sir, please don't blame me for talking nonsense."
Zhuo Qingyang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I have said it before. The weirder the things you say, the happier I will be. It depends on how much food you have in your stomach." He stood up and said: "Let's make an agreement like this. Yes, I will spend three days every month to give lectures, it’s a deal!”
Yang Ning also stood up and said: "It's hard to chase a horse!" But he felt a little weird in his heart. He came to Qionglin Academy and was hired as a visiting professor of Qionglin Academy. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Suddenly, I heard a burst of orioles singing, and I saw Jiang Suiyun walking out of the library, followed by a group of female students from the academy. Su Zixuan stood next to Jiang Suiyun, with a sweet smile on her face, and seemed to be still looking at Jiang Suiyun. Yun asked for advice, while Jiang Suiyun put his hands behind his back and explained politely and patiently.
Yang Ning glanced at Zhuo Qingyang, and saw that Zhuo Qingyang was also looking at Jiang Suiyun with his hands behind his back, his face darkened, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
