Chapter 26: The Great Zhou Rules for Educating ChildrenThis class only lasts for two hours in the morning. In the afternoon, it is time for everyone to practice and meditate. Su Chen still lives in Senior Brother Lin Tian’s courtyard. In the previous assistance, Su Chen made a lot of contributions and had nearly four hundred points. Su Chen exchanged some silver and asked the servants in the courtyard to use their own money to buy some things. It is really not appropriate for all food, clothing and other expenses to be paid for by Senior Brother Lin Tian. In the small courtyard, Su Chen continued to practice and improve himself whenever he had time. Going forward, it may become even more difficult to improve your level of strength. The eighth level of strength is just to strengthen the body. To enter the seventh level, one needs more than just physical strength. The seventh level is called Huaigu Realm.
This means that those who practice cultivation have their hearts in the deep valley and climb to the top of the mountain from the valley. At that time, I might even miss how easy and simple it is to practice now. I was so tired from practicing at night that I just lay down on the bed to rest. When I woke up, it was almost noon. Su Chen quickly got up, washed, tidied his clothes, and then went to the attic. After obtaining the destiny of [Unyielding], Su Chen felt that he was always full of energy. No matter how tired you are, after sleeping for two or three hours, your physical strength and energy will be restored. Apart from eating more, there is really nothing wrong with me. When we arrived at the attic, we found that other fellow disciples had also arrived earlier today. Su Chen sat in the seat assigned to him yesterday. This place is a little far from the front, but I have the destiny of being the pioneer in finding monsters. Strengthen your eyesight and hearing, so you won’t have any difficulty hearing. At noon, the coach, Mr. Ouyang Chuan, arrived. Behind him, there was a servant boy holding a pile of books in his hands. Entering the attic, the book boy distributed the books. Ouyang Chuan walked up to Su Chen with a different book in his hand and placed the book on Su Chen's desk. "You are different from them, so during this period of time, you should first copy the "Great Zhou Teachings for Children". Copy it twenty times first. After you finish, I will check if it is acceptable, and then you can learn the rest." As he spoke, the book boy at the side distributed the books and walked in front of Su Chen.
He turned Su Chen's desk so that his back was facing away. The meaning is very clear, telling Su Chen not to study first, but to copy "The Rules of Teaching Children of the Great Zhou" first. The other fellow disciples couldn't help but turn their heads to watch, as if they were just watching the fun. The text of "The Rules of Teaching Children of the Great Zhou" is not entirely concise. There are also many fables in it, which are very long. It takes two to three days to copy it once. If you copy it twenty times, you won't be able to do anything else for nearly two months. All the time was wasted on this matter. Su Chen frowned slightly, looked up at Ouyang Chuan, and asked. "Sir, I don't know what you mean by this." “For a cultivator, strength is two things, and character is one. Before you formally begin your practice and study, you need to read "The Great Zhou Teachings for Children" carefully. Understand what can and cannot be done. Understand what responsibility is and what accountability is. Until you understand these, I, Ouyang Chuan, will not be able to guide you further." Su Chen finally understood what the bullshit of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude was, but it was also biased against himself. Su Chen had already read ancient classics such as "The Rules of Teaching Children of the Great Zhou" when he first traveled to this world. A Niang also explained to me that I should be a person with good character and integrity. There is certainly no harm in reading such books by ancient sages. It’s just that I have already read these classics thoroughly and understood the principles behind them. Ouyang Chuan in front of him had no intention of enlightening him at all. After copying it twenty times, nearly two months had passed. The time for classroom explanation was over, and when it was time to go out for training, I was afraid that I would find another reason to stay in Tiangang City. Even if he was asked to just copy and read it once or twice, Su Chen could still accept it and endure it. You can copy it twenty times, but meaningless copying is a real waste of time. Thinking of this, Su Chen stood up. "I have already read the contents of the Great Zhou Teachings for Children. Please allow me to study and attend the class." Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan smiled and took the book. Draw the back from it. "The Rules of Teaching Children of the Great Zhou" is quite thick and contains a lot of content.
But after being asked several times in a row, Su Chen actually memorized all of them. Ouyang Chuan's expression did not change. A veteran like him wouldn't be embarrassed so easily. “You are quite familiar with the book, but you don’t understand its meaning at all. As you just said, take responsibility and dare to act. You know it so well by heart, but do you have the courage to take responsibility and act? " Ouyang Chuan looked at Su Chen, questioning in his words. Since that's what he said, Su Chen didn't want to back down anymore and just argued. "Since leaving home, students have walked and sat upright. I wonder where there are actions that dare not be taken? I wonder when there is no responsibility? " Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan's smile became even more pronounced. "During the initiation ceremony, he used sophistry and eloquence. He is actually greedy for credit and robs others' achievements, but he does not dare to be called as such. Does this count as being daring and responsible? To be honest, if you admit it on the spot, I, Ouyang Chuan, would be more optimistic about you." As expected, he was still talking about the initiation ceremony. "Mr. Ouyang said that students are irresponsible, so may I ask, do you have any responsibility? Have you personally verified the accusations you made today? But it was all hearsay, so I thought I had the truth." Ouyang Chuan asked him to copy "The Rules of Teaching Children of the Great Zhou Dynasty", saying that he did not understand the meaning of it. But now it seems that Ouyang Chuan is even less aware of the wise words of the ancient sages. And the purpose of what he did was not to improve himself. “What else do you need to prove? Can't we see if there is any behavior of greedily taking credit for one's own achievements? We coaches can see at a glance how much ability and talent you have. With your talent and potential, no matter how hard you try to catch up with Liu Xingwan, you will never be able to catch up with him. Let alone Liu Xingwan, there are so many disciples in the attic, who can you compare to? The eighth-grade strength is probably a contribution gained through greed and robbery, and Xie Danyao forced a breakthrough. " Su Chen raised his eyes and looked at Ouyang Chuan, and there was no respect for the gentleman in his eyes. "Master, you arranged these things to learn from the words of the sages. What you really want is to delay your disciples." Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan threw the book "The Rules of Educating Children in the Great Zhou Dynasty" back onto Su Chen's desk. "Don't think too highly of yourself, what do you have to waste time on?
If you want to stay in this attic, you should copy books honestly and deeply understand the meaning of the words of the ancients. If you feel that I, Ouyang Chuan, cannot teach you, you can simply switch to other coaches. If you like, I can arrange it for you right away. Some coaches are more casual and you can do whatever you want." Hearing this, Su Chen bowed to him. "Then please, Mr. Ouyang, take the trouble to help me transfer to another teacher. I will be very grateful." Su Chen didn't say much and directly asked Ouyang Chuan to help him switch to another coach. He was more familiar with the words of the ancient sages than Ouyang Chuan. Even now, I am accused of being greedy for credit. In a way, I believe in these words too much and am too idealistic. I thought that if I tried my best to slay demons and monsters, I would be respected. (End of this chapter)
