The cover of the book is new, but the paper is old. It is obviously an old book that no one reads.Because "Caotang Notes" is not a scholar's scientific examination of scripture, etiquette, theory, but a fantastic and uninhibited notes on gods and monsters.

The scholar does not say strange, force, chaos, god.This is the kind of book that people preparing for scientific examinations don't read.

But Hong Yi looked at it just to prepare for the scientific examination.

Because this book, is a former prime minister Li Yan's notes, write demons and ghosts, Taoist gods and immortals, talent and beauty, female fairy fox fairy.

"Although this caotang notebook is full of supernatural fox ghost, talent and beauty and female fairy, female fox, but in fact each is a fable, worthy of the prime minister of the first Dynasty, the founder of the Li school."

"Although Li Yan was now an ancient man, most of the imperial officials who were born in the imperial examinations were his students, and the examiners who presided over the examination this time must be from his School of li.Try to figure out the fables li Yan expressed with the help of foxes and ghosts, to cater to the taste of his gatekeeper, it is inevitable to be able to high school."

"Those scholars who live in school, even if they are excellent, only know how to read, but do not know that human practice is the article, even if your paper is beautiful, and the examiner's school of rhythm, will definitely brush you down."

Before the exam, it is extremely important to figure out the examiners' schools, thoughts and preferences.Although Hong Yi is young, his heart is bright.

"What a providence is public opinion. There is such an explanation."

Hong Yi suddenly saw a story. He read it carefully and was surprised.

The story goes like this: when a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law were sleeping at night, the wall suddenly collapsed. The daughter-in-law slept inside, desperately supporting the collapsed wall, so that her mother-in-law escaped, she was crushed to death.The mother-in-law was sad when her daughter-in-law died.Then the people in the village all comforted her, saying that she had had a dream, in which her daughter-in-law was conferred the title of City God.

At that time, Li Yan was discussing this matter with a group of scholar-officials. Some scholar-officials thought that the daughter-in-law's filial behavior was good, but the language of canonizing the god was only the language of village scholars.

However, Li Yan rejected the popular opinions, saying that the daughter-in-law was a god, because in the book of sages, "Heaven sees ourselves and the people see, and heaven listens to ourselves and the people hear." The people thought that the daughter-in-law had become a god, which was the will of Heaven, so she became a god.

All the scholars and officials laughed at Li Yan for being so impractical in his study, but Li Yan said something big: "In fact, the gods and buddhas in the temple are only changed by people's thoughts. The reason why the gods and Buddhas in the temple can appear repeatedly is because they have been worshiped and worshiped by people.Originally, there was no god in this world. With more people believing, people's thoughts gathered together, and God and Buddha were born.It is easy to destroy the gods and Buddhas. You only need to demolish their temples so that people will no longer believe in them and worship them with incense. As time goes by, they will naturally disappear."

One of the scholars nodded and asked, "What if the temple of the gods and buddhas is demolished so that people no longer believe in it?"

Li Yan continued, "The sages say that uprightness and understanding are the gods. As long as a scholar's heart is upright and strict, his thoughts will naturally be as powerful as the gods. How can the Gods and Buddhas reward you?"

"The scholar is upright and strict, and his thoughts are strong and pure, almost like the Yang god of Taoism.They are more powerful than those who cannot manifest themselves, but can only dream."
