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

In another world, many online texts, some people traveled to ancient times, through the "copying of poetry" famous in the world, for Ningjiang, copying poetry is also no problem, although the two worlds have some similarities, but there are more differences, this world in the sole respect of Confucianism, the river of history has flowed in the other direction, no Cao Zhi, no Tao Yuanming, no Li Bai, no Du Fu.

But what Ning Jiang wants to do is not a poet, but a "champion".

You can't copy a poem.

Don't say that you can copy a champion, you can't even be a showman just by copying poems. In this world, no matter how famous the copying of poems is, it cannot be condensed into Wenqu Yinfu in the ancestral trick of the eyebrows, and only the talent can be shown in the examination. It can be said that the imperial examination determines the fate of the world's talents, and those who fail to pass the imperial examination are useless no matter how talented they are.

To put it mildly, if you don't study seriously, you rely on copying poems to copy the name of your talent, don't say that you are admitted to the show, even if you drink with other talents outside, and make a drinking order, whether you are a tiger or a worm will be exposed at once.

The wine order is an inevitable thing for scholars, and in this era, even if it is a wine order, a lot of scriptures and classics must be cited.

However, Ning Jiang didn't worry much about this, on the one hand, in his previous life, he tried to find a way to be reborn and save his sister from Confucianism, and he had also worked hard for Confucianism, although he was disappointed in the end, but because it was for the purpose of saving his sister at that time, he definitely paid a lot of effort.

What's more, he has cultivated the "Golden Spirit", and he almost never forgets all kinds of knowledge.

If you can't get the top prize, the entire Shenzhou will be destroyed, and once the Yuan Demon Emperor is born, it will be difficult for him and his sister to have a place to stay...... With such an awareness, he naturally worked hard.

Once in order to save his sister, knowing that "rebirth" is just a faint hope, he still eats and drinks dew, suffers a lot of suffering, suffers a lot of sins, but never gives up on him, at the moment the goal is clear, naturally he works hard day and night, even if the body is sleepy and tired, Jin Luo will leave the body, let the body rest in bed, only with the soul to conceive poems, strategies, and so on after the body rests, and then Jin Luo returns to his place, get up and write out the ideas in his heart.

In addition, from time to time, he also asked people to take out the poems he had made, and asked the famous local Confucian scholars to give advice, of course, the guidance fee was indispensable, but fortunately, as the head of the Ning family, he was not short of money. And the purpose of doing this, on the one hand, is to avoid himself from studying in the ivory tower, and feeling good about himself is actually a mess, on the other hand, through his gradual improvement in learning, the poems and strategies he sent out have slowly earned him some fame in Gaosuo County.

He even spent a lot of money to ask Cao Qiding, who was born in a person, to give guidance and evaluation with his poems, and at the same time secretly revealed the news that he would participate in the children's examination in February and April next year.

He believed that at this time, Cao Qi would definitely be proud in his heart: "Crooked, you still have to fall into my hands." ”

Only those who have passed the children's examination can become Xiucai, and the first children's examination is presided over by the magistrate, and the first examination in February is called "Tongsheng", and then the second examination in the county presided over by the Xuezheng sent by the imperial court in April can become a "Xiucai", which is regarded as really embarking on the road of the imperial examination.

If it is according to the arrangement of Ningjiang's father before his death, the parents and villagers of Gaosuo County elected him to be filial piety, and he can directly participate in the second game without participating in the first game, but to become filial piety, he must be recommended by the villagers and the county magistrate, of course Cao Qiding will not give him this opportunity.

While studying his knowledge, he is also instructing his sister to practice swords.

At this time, he had already asked his sister to take Zhu Guangyu Dan, Natural Dragon Bone Pill, and Zihua Liujing Pill in stages.

Relying on these three elixirs 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 the internal force in the meridians is self-generated.

Unlike the descriptions in martial arts books in another world, the internal forces of this world are not so exaggerated.

The martial arts of this world are divided into two types: external and internal.

Practice the muscles and bones on the outside, and practice a breath on the inside. Those who practice external skills should not only practice skin and bones, but also strengthen their muscles, train a body of muscles, and sweep the enemy purely with physical fitness and brute force, which is called "horizontal training". The internal strength, is always pay attention to the "fairy wind bones" of the Taoist first created the cultivation method, aside from the "strong tendons" process, after the skin, forging bones, followed by "building qi", from the body to practice internal force, so that, on the one hand, you can use internal force to fight the enemy, on the other hand, you can not worry about the deformation of the body caused by "strong tendons".

The masters of Taoism basically practice all the internal skills, in fact, the internal training has the advantages of internal training, and the external training also has the advantages of external training, and the staying power alone can not be compared with the external training, so to speak, all the people who really dare to go to the battlefield are masters of external skills, but an absolute advantage of internal refining is that external practice cannot be compared, that is...... The image is good!!

It is precisely because of this that from the very beginning, what Ning Jiang planned for his sister to cultivate was internal strength, and this was of course...... Who would want a sister with a beautiful face and full of muscles?

It's just that no matter whether you are cultivating internal or external skills, from Ning Jiang's current point of view, there is a huge problem with the martial arts in this world...... Practicing the body is not training.

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

In the process of purifying internal strength and sharpening swordsmanship, Ning Jiang also regarded the body as the furnace and took life as the fire, refining the soul and refining the soul, and walked out of a completely different path from others. Of course, at this moment, Xiaomeng herself didn't realize that she was different in cultivation, and just thought that everyone was doing this.

Flowing fire in July, Weiyang in August, clothing in September, rice in October, and Qianlong in the moon......

The weather was getting colder and colder, and finally it was snowing.

The dragon lurker, the glacier and the snow, all things are born in the ground.

On that day, Ning Jiang sat by the fire, reading the books of the sages. Looking up, in the garden, the ground and branches were already white, and snowflakes were falling like goose feathers. The plum has not yet bloomed, and this garden is bleak, only the little dream of dancing the sword between the snow-covered flower branches has become the beauty of the pink makeup and jade between the cold heaven and the earth.

Although the weather has become cold, Xiaomeng, who has successfully built his breath, is still wearing a summer skirt and dancing among the snow.

Her steps were light and brisk, and the sword light followed her petite figure, blooming like a circle of light on the white branches.

Ning Jiang wrote this set of "Xuanji Sword Dance", which is named after Xuanji.

The word "Xuanji" does not refer to the first four stars of the Big Dipper in astronomy, but to the "Xuanji Map".

What my sister is now practicing is the "Qin Fanglan withering Xiyang" in "Xuanji Tu", Ning Jiang has integrated this set of swordsmanship into "Xuanji Tu", becoming the most suitable swordsmanship for girls to learn, at this moment by my sister dancing in the flying snow, beautiful as a painting, just looking at it, it is pleasing to the eye.

Ning Jiang was wearing a half-worn blue coat, leaning on a rocking chair, with the eaves on his head and a stove beside him. Holding the book of sages in his left hand, he picked up a pine nut on the low stool next to the chair with his right hand, and threw it forward, the pine nut flew towards his sister, but before he hit his sister, there was a soft snap, and the sword light flew obliquely, and the pine nut had been divided into two halves and left on the ground.

Ning Jiang nodded with satisfaction, continued to shake the rocking chair, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the sage book in his hand, and said casually: "Today, there is a beautiful woman Ning Xiaomeng, who moves in all directions with a sword dance; The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. Huo Ruyi shoots nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons; Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. ”

Xiaomeng put away the sword, the sword light scattered, the snow fluttered, she stood with the sword, and said to her brother: "Brother, your poems are getting better and better." ”

Ning Jiang continued to rock the rocking chair: "General...... Generally good! These sentences are plagiarized from Du Fu.

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

Like this, reading and appreciating the sister, the days passed day by day, and finally arrived at the "Wax Moon Carnival", and the fragrance of the plum blossoms overflowed the garden. The coldest season has passed, the flowers of early spring begin to bud, in the county, people preparing for the New Year are busy, outside the garden, sometimes there are children's laughter, and the old woman who looks at the garden shouts and scolds, I think it is the naughty child who climbs over the wall to pick flowers is found.

The New Year is approaching, and there are more and more matchmakers who come to propose marriage, and they have almost broken through the threshold, not only for the "Diamond King Lao Wu" in Ningjiang, a high-lock county, but also for Xiaomeng.

Ning Jiang naturally rejected them all, whether it was for him or for his sister, Gaosuo County at this moment was already too small and too small, and it was not enough to accommodate them. And even if he has the heart to live a leisurely life in this small county, the inevitable chaos in the world will eventually involve him.

On that day, seeing that the New Year was approaching, the heads of the Duan family, the Hua family, and the 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 big families of the county spend a lot of money to "welcome the God of Wealth", which has become an indispensable event. In fact, by this time of the Great Zhou Dynasty, land annexation had been very serious, and the land that could be cultivated in Gaosuo County had basically been divided among these four families, and the farmers in the countryside could be said to be all tenants of these four families. Fortunately, the counties of Linchuan County are also considered to be the land of fish and rice, and under all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people can still get by.

And the annual "Welcoming God of Wealth", to a certain extent, can be regarded as an emphasis on the existence of these four families, as well as a "feedback" to the place. With the disappearance of the gate valve system due to the development of the imperial examination and the success of cutting the feudal domain four hundred years ago, the squire system replaced the gate valve, and the four families of Duan, Hua, Lu and Ning were the "squires" of this Gaosuo County.

"The New Year is coming!" Ning Jiang put away the scroll, held it behind him with his left hand, and gently tapped his somewhat sore waist, "Cao Qiding has been in peace for a few months, I'm afraid I will have to come to trouble again, in order to be able to successfully pass the children's exam, and in order to keep myself from any 'accidents'...... It's almost time to bait him! ”
