Chapter 560 Ye Ru's Teaching
As Long Hai entered the spring, Ye Ru and the others also jumped in. In an instant, a cool breeze entered their bodies.
As the spring water touched their bodies, clearly visible streams of air flowed through their noses and into their bodies, causing the talent within Ye Ru and the others to begin to rise.
This scene naturally brought a smile to Ye Ru and the others' faces. After all, with the help of such a thing, they were several levels above other scholars of the same rank.
"Boom boom boom!"
Time passed, and when Ye Ru opened his eyes again, he looked through the cracks in the stone and saw that it was already evening. Ye Ru's talent at this moment was much stronger than before.
Ye Ru was the first to wake up, breaking the silence. Zhang Dong, Zhang Zhi, and the others also woke up. The turbidity in their eyes was gone, replaced by unparalleled clarity.
"I never expected this spring water to have such amazing effects. I feel like my body is getting younger, and I can live for several more years."
"Moreover, I feel that the barrier between me and the Grand Scholar has been loosened. If I can study hard for another ten years, I am afraid I will be able to enter the realm of the Great Confucian Scholar."
Zhang Zhi looked at his slightly delicate hands and couldn't help but marvel at them.
"Yes, if we could put this Qi-boosting bead into the National Academy, the strength of our Yanhuang Kingdom would surely rise to a new level. At least in the Ten Kingdoms Hunt two years from now, we would be able to take the lead and no longer be bullied by those Jin people."
Zhang Dong nodded firmly, showing no sign of arrogance despite being a Grand Scholar.
"Well, let's stay with the Star Ape Clan for a few days. After the entire Star Ape Clan has been baptized by this spring water, we'll take it away. Firstly, this will prevent the Star Ape Clan from suffering disaster, and secondly, it will enhance the strength of our Yanhuang Kingdom, thus preventing the demon race from attacking our human race."
Ye Ru nodded, and after using his inner energy to dry his body, the Star Ape King slowly woke up:
"The Star Ape Clan should have everything ready by now. Didn't they say they wanted me to teach those Star Apes? Since we're here, let's start today."
These words startled the Star Ape King, and his expression brightened with delight.
"Is what you say true, sir?"
'Could it be fake?'
Ye Ru smiled.
"Okay, let's go back and prepare."
Back in the Star Ape Clan, things were basically settled. These Star Apes are quite different from humans; most of them live in caves, or they have built houses in the trees. They welcomed Ye Ru and his group back.
After all, the human race and the star ape race are relatively friendly, and they even helped them escape from the tiger-headed race.
This enthusiastic scene left Ye Ru and the others somewhat amused and exasperated. They were especially happy when Star Ape King announced that Ye Ru would be giving a lesson to everyone.
These star apes had already developed some intelligence and were quite interested in human books. So, an open-air lecture hall was set up, and three human scholars, including Ye Ru, divided the space into three venues to teach them.
"You should all have read the books of sages and worthies. Tonight we will talk about the Analects, a classic text of all sages. How much you can understand depends entirely on your own destiny."
Ye Ru knew that reading should not be a matter of simply imparting knowledge; on the contrary, it required the right methods to guide them.
This Analects is the most famous classic of their human race, and even some great scholars cannot fully comprehend it. For those who only have some intelligence but have not systematically studied the human language, it is quite difficult.
After Ye Ru finished speaking, the star apes all nodded and then looked at him curiously, as if waiting for him to give them a lesson.
"Without further ado, let's begin by explaining the first chapter of the Analects, 'Learning': The Master said, 'Is it not pleasant to learn with a constant perseverance and application? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar? Is it not the mark of a gentleman to remain unperturbed when others do not recognize his merits?'"
Do you know what this sentence means?
Ye Ru asked with a smile, and the star apes shook their heads. Then he continued.
"This saying is 'The gateway to the Way, the foundation for accumulating virtue.' It means that Confucius said: 'Isn't it a joyful thing to learn and practice what you have learned? Isn't it a joyful thing to have a friend come from afar? Isn't it a sign of a gentleman's conduct to not be angry with someone who doesn't understand this principle?'"
"In this chapter, the idea of finding joy in learning and remaining unperturbed when others do not understand reflects Confucius's principles of tireless learning, teaching others, self-cultivation, and strict self-discipline. This is not only what we should learn, but also what all those who study the Analects should learn. Do you understand?"
Many star apes frowned, some seemed to understand something, but most still didn't understand the meaning of the sentence.
Seeing this, Ye Ru could only shake his head with a wry smile. This kind of thing was too profound for them. However, the more profound something is, the better and more progress one can make if one can understand it than with something simple.
"I understand!"
"Teacher, this sentence is about the joy of learning. Visiting like-minded people can enhance friendship, and we can learn from each other and improve together. Am I right?"
Below, a star ape raised its head, its dark eyes becoming extremely clear. As it finished speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared on its body, making its monkey fur seem somewhat different from others.
"Yes, he is a promising student. You should all learn from him."
Ye Ru nodded, which brought a hint of joy to the little star ape.
"Is that a golden retriever?"
The Star Ape King stood to the side, seemingly lost in thought, as if the strange changes occurring in the Star Ape surprised him.
However, just then, a commotion arose in the distance, and soon Tiger Fool led a group of tiger-headed men to the scene.
This scene caused a commotion among those present, and Ye Ru took the opportunity to shield the star apes behind him.
"Tiger Fool? What are you doing? Didn't we make a deal? Neither of us can infringe on the other, or else we'll be struck by lightning!"
The Star Ape King turned his head, and a golden rod appeared in his hand, his demonic power gradually spreading out.
"Don't misunderstand, we didn't come here for any other reason. It's just that you are a man of great talent, and we came here specifically to learn from you."
Seeing the Star Ape clan's tense standoff, Tiger Fool gave a wry smile and quickly shouted a reprimand to the Tiger-Headed Clan members behind him:
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to the master!"
