Chapter 14 Reading Dreams

In the following days, Ning Jiang basically didn't go out of one subject or two subjects. He studied hard at home every day and taught his sister to practice swordsmanship.

In another world, in many online articles, some people became famous all over the world by "copying poems" after traveling to ancient times. For Ningjiang, there is no problem with copying poems. Although the two worlds have some similarities, there are more differences. After this world respects Confucianism, the historical river has flowed in another direction, without Cao Zhi, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, and Du Fu.

But what Ningjiang wants to do is not a poet, but a "top scholar".

If you copy a poem, you can't copy a top scholar.

Not to mention copying a top scholar, even scholars cannot be regarded as scholars by copying poems alone. In this world, no matter how famous a copying poems is, it cannot be condensed into the Wenquyin Mansion in the ancestral ankle between the eyebrows. Only by passing the scholar can one pass the imperial examination. It can be said that the imperial examination determines the fate of the talented people in the world for the whole life. Even if they fail the imperial examination, it is useless.

To be honest, if you don’t study hard, you can’t tell me the talented people you get by copying poems, not to mention getting into a scholar, even if you drink with other talents outside and practice drinking, you will be exposed at once if you are a tiger or a worm.

Drinking orders are inevitable for scholars. In this era, even if you are practicing wine, you have to quote a lot of scriptures.

However, Ning Jiang was not worried about this. On the one hand, he tried to find a way to save his sister from Confucianism and Taoism in his previous life. He also made great efforts to Confucianism. Although he was disappointed in the end, he had definitely put in a lot of effort because he wanted to save his sister at that time.

What's more, he has already cultivated into the "Golden Soul", and he has almost never forgotten all kinds of knowledge.

If he cannot pass the top scorer, the entire Shenzhou will be destroyed. Once the Yuan Demon Emperor is born, he and his sister will not have a place to live... With such an enlightenment, he will naturally make great efforts.

In order to save his sister, he knew that "rebirth" was just a slim hope, but he still drank the wind and dew. He had suffered countless hardships and suffered countless sins, but he had never given up. At this moment, his goal was clear and he naturally worked day and night. Even if his body was tired and exhausted, the golden soul would leave his body and let his body rest in the bed. He only used the soul to conceive poems and strategies. After the body was rested, the golden soul returned to his position and stood up to write down the concept in his heart.

In addition, he also occasionally took out the poems and essays he made and asked the local famous Confucian scholars to give advice. Of course, the guidance fee is indispensable. Fortunately, as the head of the Ning family, he is not short of money. The purpose of this is to avoid studying in the ivory tower and feeling good about himself. On the other hand, with his gradual improvement in his academic performance, the poems and strategies he gave him have gradually earned some talent for him in Gaosuo County.

He even spent a lot of money to ask Cao Jie, who was born in a juren, to give advice and evaluation, and secretly revealed that he would participate in the children's examination in February and April next year.

He believed that at this time, Cao Jie would definitely be proud in his heart: "It's wrong, you still have to fall into my hands."

Only those who pass the children's exam can become scholars. The first child exam was hosted by the magistrate. After the first in February, it was called "Tongsheng". Then after the academic and political exams were hosted by the court in April, the second in the county, it could become a "scholar", which was truly embarked on the road to imperial examinations.

If the parents of Gaosuo County chose him to be filial and honest, according to the arrangements made by Ningjiang's father during his lifetime, he would not have to participate in the first and directly participate in the second. However, to become filial and honest, the villagers must recommend him and the magistrate wrote a letter to him. Cao Jie certainly would not give him this opportunity.

While studying and learning, he was also guiding his sister to practice swordsmanship.

At this time, he had asked his sister to take Zhu Guang Yufu Pill, Natural Dragon Bone Pill, and Zihua Flowing Essence Pill in batches.

Relying on these three spiritual pills alone, my sister can be said to be a direct entry in martial arts. Her skin and bones are much stronger than ordinary people, and internal strength in her meridians is born.

Unlike the descriptions in another world martial arts book, the internal strength of this world is not that exaggerated.

The martial arts in this world are divided into external skills and internal skills.

Practice muscles, bones and skin on the outside, and a breath inside. People who practice external skills not only need to practice skin and calcify bones, but also strengthen muscles and develop muscles. They sweep the enemy through purely physical fitness and brute force, calling it "horizontal practice". Internal skills are the first cultivation method created by Taoism, who always pays attention to "immortal style and Taoist bones". Putting aside the process of "strengthening tendons", after practicing skin and bones, it is then "building qi" and practicing internal strength from the body. In this way, on the one hand, you can use internal strength to fight the enemy, and on the other hand, you don't have to worry about physical deformation caused by "strengthening tendons".

Taoist masters basically practice internal skills. In fact, internal training has the advantages of internal training, and external training also has the advantages of external training. Just because of the endurance, internal training cannot be compared with external training. It can be said that all those who dare to go to the battlefield are external skill masters, but one of the absolute advantages of internal training is that they cannot compare with external training, that is... the image is good!!!

It is precisely because of this that from the beginning, Ning Jiang planned to let his sister practice internal strength, and this is of course... Who would want a sister with a delicate face and a muscle-filled body?

However, no matter whether you are practicing internal or external skills, from Ning Jiang’s current perspective, there is a huge problem in martial arts in this world... Practicing the body but not soul.

This means that no matter how you practice, the warriors in this world are just "warriors" and cannot rise from martial arts to "immortal path".

"Xuan Ji Sword Dance" created by Ning Jiang for Xiao Meng is a physical and soul cultivation. In the process of purifying internal strength and sharpening sword skills, he also regarded the body as a furnace and cauldron through the method of life and the purpose of life, using life as a fire, refining souls and souls, and embarking on a completely different path from others. Of course, Xiao Meng herself did not realize that she was different in her cultivation, and only thought that everyone did this.

The fire flows in July, the August is in the morning, the clothes are given in September, the rice is obtained in October, the reeds are hidden in the dragon...

The weather gets colder and it finally starts to snow.

The hidden dragon is the glaciers and snow, and all things are raising vitality underground.

That day, Ning Jiang sat by the stove, reading the book of sages. Looking up, in the garden, the ground and branches were already white, and snowflakes fell like goose feathers. The wintersweet was not in full bloom, and the garden was bleak. Only the little dream of dancing swords among the branches covered with snow became the beauty of pink and jade-made in the cold and frozen world.

Although the weather has become cold, Xiao Meng, who has successfully built up her breath, is still wearing a summer skirt, dancing in the snow.

Her steps were light and brisk, and the sword light bloomed like a halo along her petite figure.

The set of "Xuan Ji Sword Dance" written by Ning Jiang is named after Xuan Ji.

The word "Xuan Ji" does not refer to the first four stars among the Big Dipper in astronomy, but the "Xuan Ji Tu".

What my sister is practicing now is the "Qin Fang Lan withering the Lush Xiyang" in "Xuan Ji Tu". Ning Jiang incorporated this set of swordsmanship into "Xuan Ji Tu", becoming the most suitable swordsmanship for girls to learn. At this moment, my sister danced in the flying white snow, which was as beautiful as a painting. Just looking at it makes people pleasing to the eye.

Ning Jiang was wearing a half-old blue jacket, leaning against the rocking chair, covering the eaves on his head, and a stove was placed beside him. He held the book of the sage in his left hand, picked up a pine nut on the stool beside the chair with his right hand, and threw it forward with force. The pine nut flew towards his sister. Before he could hit his sister, a light sound was made, and the sword light flew obliquely, and the pine nut had already divided into two halves and left on the ground.

Ning Jiang nodded with satisfaction, continued to shake the rocking chair, cross his legs, looked at the sage book in his hand, and chanted casually: "Now there is a beautiful woman Ning Xiaomeng, a sword dance moves everywhere; the viewer is like the mountains and the sky and the earth are low for a long time. Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, as if the emperors were flying dragons; he came like thunder and frightened, and as if the rivers and seas were condensed in clear light."

Xiao Meng pulled away the sword, the sword light scattered, the white snow fluttered, she stood up with the sword and said to her brother happily: "Brother, your poems are getting better and better."

Ning Jiang continued to rock the chair: "Average...is good!" These sentences were copied by Du Fu.

The rocking chair swung back and forth under his deliberate shaking, squeaking sound.

As in this way, reading and appreciating girls, the days passed day by day, and finally the "Twelfth Month Carnival" was coming. The fragrance of wintersweet flowers filled the garden. The coldest season has passed, and early spring flowers began to appear buds. In the county town, people preparing for the New Year are busy. Outside the garden, there are sometimes children's laughter and the scolding of old women watching the garden. I think it is the naughty boy who climbs over the wall to pick flowers.

As the New Year approaches, more and more matchmakers come to propose marriage, almost breaking the threshold, not only for Ningjiang, the "diamond king" in Gaosuo County, but also for Xiaomeng.

Ning Jiang naturally refused them all, whether to him or his sister, Gaosuo County is too small and too small to accommodate them at this moment. And even if he was determined to spend his days leisurely in this small county town, the inevitable chaos in the world would eventually lead him into it.

That day, as the New Year approached, the heads of the Duan family, Hua family and Lu family sent someone to invite him to discuss the matter of "welcoming the God of Wealth" on the second day of the first lunar month.

On the second day of the first lunar month every year, the four major families in this county spent a lot of money to "welcome the God of Wealth", which became an indispensable event. In fact, at this time of the Great Zhou Dynasty, land annexation was already very serious. The land that can be cultivated in Gaosuo County has basically been divided up by these four families. The farmers in the countryside can be said to be all tenants of these four families. Fortunately, the counties in Linchuan County are also considered as fish and rice towns. Under all the taxes and taxes, the people can still live.

The annual "welcome to the God of Wealth" is to some extent an emphasis on the existence of these four families and a "feedback" to the local area. With the development of the imperial examination system and the success of the reduction of the vassal states four hundred years ago, the gentry system replaced the four families of the family, Duan, Hua, Lu and Ning, which are the "gentlemen" in Gaosuo County.

"The New Year is coming!" Ning Jiang put away the book, held the back of his left hand, and gently tapped his waist, which was a little sore, "Cao Jie decided that the guy had been peaceful for several months, and he might have to come again to cause trouble. In order to successfully pass the children's exam, and to prevent any 'accident' from happening to him... It's almost time to give him some bait!"
