Not to mention how complicated An Ran's attitude towards Shen Huirong is. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After An Ran and Shen Zijue became Xiucai, the head of the Shen family's big house, Master Shen planned to send the two of them to Shishan Academy in the capital to continue their studies. In addition to Guozijian, there are two other academies in the capital, namely Shishan Academy and Jingyang Academy.

Guozijian recruits students who have made great achievements, while Shishan Academy and Jingyang Academy have a much wider range of students. If most of the people who studied in Guozijian were the children of meritorious families and clans, then Shishan Academy and Jingyang Academy went to the children of families who were mainly scholars. So to a certain extent, Shishan Academy and Jingyang Academy are competitors, and the two academies often compete with each other.

An Ran himself didn't want to enter the academy, not to mention that there was not much progress in cultivation during this time, and he had been busy integrating into this era for more than ten years since he came to the Daqing Dynasty, busy with how to survive, and then busy learning more knowledge. Until now, he has a reputation on his body and a place in the Shen family, and Shen Huirong's gift has also relaxed his tense mind.

A few days ago, I received a reply from Huai'an Jushi, a teacher who was far away in Yangzhou, and the teacher invited him and Jue Geer to study in Yangzhou. It is also said that the scenery of Yangzhou at this time is just right, with scenic spots and historic sites, famous mountains and rivers, and the list is endless. Yu Anran, a person who loves Danqing, likes to paint landscapes on paper, and it is the best. An Ran saw it, and there was a little movement in his heart, he had not been out of the country once in this era, and he had chosen to practice all the way, and he needed to go out for a walk and see for a long time.

An Ran and Shen Zijue's teacher Huai'an Jushi was born in a scholarly family in Yangzhou, southern China, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, the Yin family, who have made a living from the imperial examination for generations, and many of the children in the family are famous, and there will always be one or several Jinshi in each generation to enter the court as officials.

So An Ran proposed to the eldest master in a roundabout way that he wanted to go to Yangzhou, on the one hand, he could follow the teacher to fulfill his filial piety, on the other hand, An Ran bluntly said that he was slow to study, and wanted to learn more about the way of Danqing, and there were several calligraphy and painting masters in the teacher's family, and he wanted to ask for advice. When the eldest man heard this, he also felt that it was feasible, so he allowed him, and only told him not to relax his studies, and he must participate in the autumn examination in three years.

Shen Zijue listened to it, and originally wanted to go together. It's just that the eldest lady is not at ease and wants him to stay in the capital academy, so in the end, only An Ran went to Yangzhou alone.

When Aunt Liu got the news, she was very reluctant. After talking to An Ran once, for the sake of the child's future, he was still ruthless and packed the luggage to be prepared for him.

Let's say that Anran left the capital safely, and only took the two scholars around him, Yu Li and Xiaobi. Originally, the Shen Mansion wanted to arrange guards and carriages for him, but An Ran wanted to go more and study all the way, so he refused. An Ran's master and servant went out of the capital, and met the carriage of the merchant Sun family on the road, and it happened that the Sun family's business house was also going to Yangzhou, so An Ran was with the Sun family.

Along the way, at the beginning, An Ran rode a horse with great interest, chatted with the steward of the Sun family firm, and listened to him tell what he had seen and heard in the past few years. But in just three days, even if An Ran has been washed and cut into the marrow and his body is strong, he can't stand it anymore, not to mention the two Yu Li and Xiaobi, who are about the same age as An Ran, because the two of them are An Ran's scholars, they have been by An Ran's side since they were children, and they have never done hard work. The bumps along the way have long been exhausting.

Finally, after half a month, Anron arrived in Yangzhou. When he came to Yangzhou, An Ran first went to visit the teacher, and Huai'an Jushi was very happy to see his proud disciple arrive in Yangzhou. As early as when An Ran wrote a letter saying that he was going to come to Yangzhou, Huai'an Jushi ordered his subordinates to sort out a small courtyard and leave it for An Ran to live in.

An Ran stayed here, accompanied the teacher for the first few days, and then attended a banquet held by the juniors of the teacher's family.

It was not easy to settle down on this day, and An Ran was busy making friends during this time, and he went to the teacher in his spare time, listened to the teacher's teachings, and daily practice and cultivation were also indispensable.

There was no invitation today, so An Ran went to play chess with the teacher first.

"It's time for you to work your chess skills, your chess style is still just blindly attacking, without thinking about defense, thinking about the overall situation, how can you not lose?" Huai'an Jushi looked at the endgame on the chessboard, and then looked at his proud disciple, and said a little helplessly. This child looks docile and elegant, and his personality is also steady, but sometimes he acts the most impulsively.

"Teacher, you know that I am most of the least interested in Go, and I spend all day facing the chessboard, so you might as well let me practice a few more characters. An Ran watched himself lose again and threw himself to the ground, and he really had no love for playing chess.

"Well, since you're not interested, I won't say much. But don't play chess casually with others outside, or it will reveal your arrogant and careless character, which will ruin your image as a jade gentleman. Huai'an Jushi teased, seeing his student's expression, "Teacher, you spare me", he smiled, no longer teased him, and said softly, "Didn't you still want to find a few books to read a few days ago? I asked someone to take you to Han Moxiang."

"The teacher who knows me is also. I've read all the books at home, and I'm worried about running out of books. Then, teacher, I'll go. An Ran heard the three words Han Moxiang, and his eyes suddenly lit up, he had heard of this Han Moxiang a long time ago, but there were a lot of good books in it, and when he saw that the teacher allowed him to go, he couldn't sit down.

Under the leadership of the subordinates, An Ran arrived at the teacher's collection of books, "The rain is moist through the piano and books, and the wind comes to the fragrance of Hanmo." "Anran walked into Han Moxiang, and the subordinates also retreated. I saw that in the three-storey attic, there were rows of bookshelves, and the shelves were full of various books, and the air was filled with the fragrance of books. There is not a trace of dust on the books, and it can be seen that someone takes care of it every day. An Ran secretly said that it is worthy of being a scholarly family, and the Shen Mansion is the old lady's collection of books is not one-tenth of that here.

In his previous life and present life, An Ran was a person who liked to read, with so many books in front of him, An Ran couldn't bear it, picked up a book and read it. Enron was originally a book in his hand, but he didn't expect Enron to be very interested.

It turned out that this book was "Qimen Dunjia", and An Ran also read this book in modern times, but he didn't read it carefully at the time, just looked at the general content, and he didn't understand it much at the time. Now that I read this book again, An Ran has an idea in his heart, since he can cultivate the truth, and there is aura in this world, can this book be considered usable?

Thinking like this, An Ran read it more seriously, and now he felt that the things he didn't understand were suddenly open when he studied them. "Qimen Dunjia" is about the art of divination, and it is also a rational number and a magic gate. Qimen Dunjia is composed of three parts: "Qi", "Gate" and "Dunjia", and "Qi" refers to the sun, moon and stars. "Door" refers to the eight doors of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, shock, death, and opening of the eight gates, while "Dunjia" refers to the six jia, namely Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin.

Using the technique of Qimen Dunjia, divination is carried out with six instruments, three odds, eight doors, nine stars and a special pattern of Qimen Dunjia. It can also be used to march and fight and arrange troops. However, Enron also didn't have much interest in divination, and she always thought that knowing nothing was the best. But for the nine-character formula in Qimen, An Ran likes it very much.

Nine-character formula, pro, soldier, fight, person, all, array, column, front, line. It is recorded in the book that these nine characters are often recited in the mouth, which can be auspicious and avoid evil, and all evil will not invade, and bad luck can be transferred. Moreover, this nine-character formula needs to be used in combination with the aura of heaven and earth and mudras. That is to say, divination in Qimen Dunjia, arranging military formations or something, that is, people who have not cultivated aura can also learn to use it, but the nine-character formula is different, it requires people to have cultivation to cultivate aura, in other words, people who have Taoism, or people who can use aura without cultivation. Although An Ran has no aura, he cultivates soul power, and An Ran himself guesses that soul power should also be able to be used.

An Ran studied it carefully again, and found that there were no spells with great attack power, so he went up to the third floor. An Ran lifted the hem of his clothes, sat on the ground, crossed his knees, and then took out the book and carefully read the word "Lin" and the required handprints several times, and made sure to memorize them, and then put the book beside him.

The word "Pro" can stabilize the body and mind, strengthen people's will and body, that is to say, it can make people's minds stable and calm. Run the "Nirvana Decision" peacefully, constantly circulate the soul power, output the soul power, and then form a single cobalt seal with both hands, and at the same time chant the "Vajrasattva Heart Mantra" in the mouth, and at the same time as the handprint is finished, the mantra must also be recited, and finally the word "Lin" is recited in the mouth. However, it was disappointing that An Ran did not react at all, and An Ran did not give up and read the description of the usage of the word "Lin" several times, and used "Lin" again and again Words, only then did I find out the problem, either the slow output of soul power, or the mudra and the chanting of the mantra are not at the same time, or the Buddhist scriptures are not right, the handprint knot is not accurate, and in the end, I tried a hundred times, only to succeed once and it was a slight effect, at that time the brain was ethereal, the mind was peaceful, and the irritability and fatigue caused by failure again and again were swept away. With this successful experience, Enron can't wait to give the remaining eight words a try.

An Ran read the last eight kinds of words, but found that these eight words could not be practiced now, because the Buddhist scriptures given in the book were not complete, and only the names of the Buddhist scriptures were mentioned, so it was impossible to practice immediately. However, Enron still learned about the utility and mudras of the remaining eight words.
