Wu Ming and his wife are concerned about their children's growth. At this time, the old scholar also had some considerations as Wu Yugang's teacher.
The old scholar saw that Wu Yugang had indeed been very attentive and outstanding in his studies in the past three months. However, the old scholar thought: "This child is not yet five years old. It would be too boring to let him learn and recite like this. Children must have children." With his innocent nature, he cannot always be stuck in books. He must be allowed to study happily, only in this way can he be more interested in learning knowledge.”
In the morning, Wu Yugang came to the old scholar's study very early.
Wu Yugang asked: "Sir, what should we learn today?"
The old scholar replied: "It's time to study the Five Classics."
Wu Yugang asked curiously: "What are the Five Classics?"
"The Five Classics are the Book of Songs, the Book of Documents, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Annals." The old scholar answered, "But let's not study these today."
"What should we learn?" Wu Yugang asked.
"Let's learn this!" the old scholar said and took it out of the box on the note.
"This is called the guqin. It is an instrument that has been passed down from ancient times to this day." The old scholar explained, "It is said that Fuxi established the five tones and Shennong made the qin. The five tones are Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu. It is said that it is recorded in the "Book of Music", but "The Book of Music" The Sutra has been lost." Wu Yugang listened carefully.
"The melody of ancient poems and songs was also determined by the melody of the piano. Ancient poems and songs can all be sung by composing music." said the old scholar.
Wu Yugang asked: "What are the benefits of learning this piano?"
The old scholar smiled and said: "It can cultivate your temperament, cultivate your moral character, and keep yourself from the world." After saying that, the old scholar started to play the piano.
Wu Yugang was immersed in the quiet and distant sound of the piano.
Wu Yugang felt that he was back in the Dragon Palace. At that time, the old Dragon King had just given birth to the Dragon King. He was happy every day, but his fear melted away, and he was afraid of falling. The tenth prince is not allowed to go anywhere. The tenth prince is taught reading, martial arts, chess, calligraphy and painting every day in the Dragon Palace. The tenth prince is outstanding in everything. One day when he was thirteen years old, the tenth prince was too bored in the palace, so he secretly disguised himself and went out to play in the Dragon Palace.
The Tenth Prince Tiantai was walking on the street when he suddenly saw a lot of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs discussing something at a remote street corner not far away.
Tiantai came over and saw a pile of gold and silver treasures on the ground. He heard a fish spirit say: "Let's divide these treasures equally!" It turns out that these fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs went to the world to cause trouble and were robbed.
Tiantai looked at these hateful fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs and was filled with anger. He separated from the shrimps and crabs and said: "In broad daylight, if you dare to violate criminal laws and go to the world to cause trouble and steal money, you should be executed according to the law."
When these fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs saw that they were children, they said angrily: "Go and play, do you care?"
Seeing how unreasonable these people were, Tianzi shouted, "Let's go see the official!"
The two people next to them said: "It's just a child. Just beat him away. Don't let him miss our good deeds." After saying that, one of them punched Tiantai, and Tiantai calmly reached out and grabbed the man's arm. With his wrist, he brought it to his arms, and with a trip under his feet, the attacker was thrown out.
When the people around him saw that he was going to suffer a loss, they immediately surrounded Tian Tzu in the middle.
Those people shouted: "Beat him, beat him, beat this kid to death, let him delay our good deeds."
Tian Tie didn't answer, but he got into a fight with these dozen fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs.
Heroes have been born since ancient times. They are small and powerful, and it is difficult to get close to these people. While they were fighting, more than twenty of the Dragon King's personal guards came and surrounded these people.
It turned out that the old Dragon King thought about his son who had become a dragon every day. He felt uncomfortable if he could not see him every day. He did not see the weather today, so he searched the entire Dragon Palace. The old Dragon King said to the palace people with anger and hatred: "Go and look for me quickly. If you can't find this little brat, I won't spare you."
The people in the palace found Tianwei fighting with people on the street and called the Dragon King and his personal guards.
The old Dragon King grabbed his son's hand and said, "You come out to cause trouble. Come on, come back with me!"
The prince said: "These people go to the world to cause trouble and rob property. I don't have to cause trouble. They don't listen to me."
Upon hearing this, the old Dragon King said: "Okay! Take those people back too!"
After returning to the Dragon Palace and dealing with those people, the old Dragon King thought: "This child Tianwei will cause trouble when he goes out, but he is upright and kind, so don't be taken advantage of by bad people!"
So he said to Tian Tie: "You are not allowed to go out anymore. A special palace has been prepared for you. From now on, you are only allowed to study and practice martial arts there, and you are not allowed to go there."
The guqin can connect heaven and earth, and Wu Yugang is immersed in the memory of the sound of the guqin.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped, and "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" had not yet been played.
The old scholar looked at the broken strings and asked, "Did someone eavesdrop or did I meet a close friend?"
The old scholar looked out the window, but there was no one there.
Seeing Wu Yugang who was deep in thought, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wu Yugang came back to his senses, looked at the old scholar, and said, "I feel like I have returned to the past."
The old scholar asked in surprise: "What were you like before?"
Wu Yugang replied: "I was in a palace before, and the Dragon King wouldn't let me out, so I would study and practice martial arts in the palace, play the piano, draw, and play chess. Some people called me Prince."
The old scholar nodded and said: "Okay, okay. The secret must not be revealed. Let's play chess for a while!" He took out the Go game and placed it on the table.
Wu Yugang did not answer and sat opposite the old scholar. Guess first, Wu Yugang grabbed a handful of white stones, and the old scholar took two black stones.
Wu Yugang clicked the chess pieces in his hand, and the old scholar took the lead. Wu Yugang said: "Please!"
Go is about the gold horn and the silver edge but the straw bag. The old scholar began to occupy his seat.
In less than a meal, the old scholar showed great strategy, and it was difficult for Wu Yugang to make a move.
The old scholar said: "What a great chess game! It doesn't work anymore. I admit defeat. A hero emerges from a young boy! From now on, you can read the books I have here as you like!"
It turns out that Go, also called hand talk, tests people's intelligence and thinking. The old scholar saw Wu Yugang's chess skills coupled with Wu Yugang's usual outstanding performance and the memories in the sound of the piano just now. I already feel that Wu Yugang is no longer a simple mortal.
Wu Yugang said happily: "That's great. Thank you so much. I can read poetry and books to my heart's content from now on!"
The old scholar said: "I don't have many books here, but it looks like it will take you a year and a half, but it is enough for you to read."
Wu Yugang said: "It's good to have books to read. We can also play the piano, chess and draw, and you won't feel lonely."
The old scholar said to himself silently: "I am content to have a sensible student like you!" (To be continued)
