The golden black falls, the jade rabbit rises in the east, and the bright moon like a white jade plate hangs high in the sky, pouring down the wisps of clear light.

The quiet moonlight was projected into the room through the hollow carved windows, making Zhou Chen, who was sitting at the desk by the window, pull out a long shadow on the floor.

During the day, after Tong Shishi and Zhou Chen chatted for a while about the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, he also said goodbye and left.

In Tong Shishi's opinion, Zhou Chen, who had just suffered from soul separation disorder, needed a good rest and recuperation now, so he naturally didn't want to disturb Zhou Chen too much.

Tong Shishi's departure did not let Zhou Chen waste time idle, but instead sat in front of the desk and looked at the Four Books and Five Classics by himself.

After all, in a few months, it will be a big day for the imperial examination township to try the autumn festival, and since Zhou Chen plans to enter the officialdom of the Ming court through the imperial examination, he must also prepare early.

At the beginning, Zhou Chen couldn't read the Four Books and Five Classics of ancient sayings.

But for the sake of future planning, Zhou Chen could only force him to read these sage books by himself.

Perhaps because of the star power quenching body, Zhou Chen found that his own energy was very vigorous, and his mind was also extremely clear.

This time, I didn't feel tired after watching it for a whole day.

Of course, boredom is absolutely inevitable.

The candle flame flickered gently, and now Zhou Chen was holding a volume of "The Book of Rites" in his hand, and he was carefully studying this volume of sages that had been passed down for thousands of years.

When it is said to be study, it is nothing more than rote memorization.

After all, Zhou Chen has experienced quality education, and he is not so ignorant of the book "The Book of Rites", but he is only able to read it smoothly.

If Zhou Chen was really asked to use this book of "The Book of Rites" to do his studies, it would be really difficult for him.

The Book of Rites, together with the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period, are collectively known as the Five Classics.

In addition, the four books "The University", "The Mean", "The Analects", and "Mencius" are the core essence of Confucianism.

The imperial examination questions of the Ming Dynasty are all from these four books and five classics.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Chen intends to take the road of entering the imperial examination, then he will never be able to avoid these four books and five classics.

The Four Books and Five Classics not only strictly regulate the scope of topics selected for the imperial examination, but also determine the standard answers to the examination questions.

In the imperial examinations held in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there was not much room for candidates to play freely, and almost all of the candidates' answers were similar, and all of them must strictly comply with the law of the eight shares.

Under this imperial examination system, the test is definitely not whether the candidate's own knowledge is profound or not, but whether the candidate's reading memory of the Four Books and Five Classics is sufficient.

Some candidates who have not read enough of the Four Books and Five Classics can't even figure out which book the exam questions are from, so how can they talk about answering the test?

However, this is a very beneficial thing for Zhou Chen.

He already has a good memory, but after the baptism of star power, he is more energetic and his mind is clearer.

After reading a book, Zhou Chen seemed to be able to remember the content recorded in it.

If he had continued to read it four or five times, he would have been able to memorize the entire book.

For example, the book "Book of Rites" that I read during the day today has a total of 20 volumes and 49 articles, and Zhou Chen can now recite eight volumes and 16 articles.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Chen simply set a small goal for himself, that is, to wait until a few months later, when the township test and autumn season begin, he will completely memorize the four books and five classics in his mind.

Of course, reading and studying is important, but for Zhou Chen, martial arts practice is also indispensable.

After all, Wenzhi and martial arts go hand in hand, this is Zhou Chen's own plan for his future.

What's more, after watching the "Book of Rites" for a whole day, this made Zhou Chen's heart feel bored and boring, just with the help of martial arts practice to change his mood, it is the right thing to relax in civil and military affairs.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chendang put down the volume of "Book of Rites" in his hand, got up and walked out of the house.

Slowly pushing open the door, looking at the stars in the sky, the corners of Zhou Chen's mouth couldn't help but smile happily.

Perhaps because of the celestial chart, Zhou Chen had a special affinity for all the stars in the sky, whether they were bright or not.

As he walked towards the courtyard, Zhou Chen secretly thought about some of the information he had found from Tong Shi during the day today, about the martial arts cultivation in this world.

In the Jianghu martial arts of this world, the martial arts practice is quite complete, and each realm has a detailed division.

The martial arts realms that are circulating above the martial arts in today's rivers and lakes are from low to high, which are the three realms of acquired, congenital, and grandmaster.

The acquired realm is divided into four small realms: third-rate, second-rate, first-class, and top-notch.

As long as the internal force is condensed, it can be regarded as stepping into the acquired realm.

The next step is to accumulate internal strength, so as to penetrate the meridians in the human body, so as to gradually strengthen one's own strength.

The meridians in the human body are divided into two categories: the canon and the odd sutra.

There are 12 canons, namely the three yin meridians of the hands, the three yin meridians of the feet, the three yang meridians of the hands, and the three yang meridians of the feet, which are collectively known as the twelve canons.

There are eight Qi Sutras, namely the Du Pulse, the Ren Pulse, the Chong Pulse, the Belt Pulse, the Yin Pulse Pulse, the Yang Pulse Pulse, the Yin Dimension Pulse, and the Yang Pulse Pulse, which are the eight veins of the Strange Meridian.

What the acquired realm needs to penetrate is these twelve canons, and every time you penetrate the three canons, your own strength will improve by a small realm.

As for which three of these twelve canons are the first to penetrate, all of these vary from person to person.

For example, a martial artist who practices kung fu in his hands will naturally open up the meridians in his hands first.

The martial artist who takes the masculine path will first open the hand three yang scriptures, and the martial artist who takes the feminine path will definitely open the hand three yin meridians first.

After the twelve canons are all connected, the internal power of the martial artist can form a small Zhou Tian cycle in the human body, which can be further refined into a more powerful true qi.

Only when all the internal forces in oneself are completely condensed into true qi can martial arts cultivation break through from the acquired realm to the innate martial arts realm.

A martial arts powerhouse in the innate realm seems to be able to penetrate the true qi outside the human body.
