Chapter 39 Circumambulation of the Beam Tower
"Who?"
Xu Qi is not familiar with the guests in this inn, and the shopkeeper should not come to knock on the door at this time, Xu Qi is very curious about this visitor. It's just that the mess in the room hasn't been cleaned up yet, and Xu Qi can't open the door.
The people outside the room were gentle and polite: "Brother Tai, today in the city around the beam building, there is a debate meeting between candidates to talk about the scriptures and discuss the world's major events." If you are interested, you can go and have a look. ”
This matter is exactly what Xu Qi's appetite is, and through the door, Xu Qi said: "Thank you, brother, I will definitely go when I get down." ”
"You're welcome. ”
The man outside the door answered, and then the footsteps turned to the outside of the room next to Xu Qi, still in the same tone, the same rhetoric.
As the footsteps faded away, the man knocked on the door one by one and repeated the news several times. Some people answered with courtesy, but there were also those who snooze, and after being woken up by a knock on the door, they scolded a few times. The man was not angry, but said "bother" and went to the next room.
Listening to the movement outside, Xu Qi secretly said in his heart: "This person is also a warm-hearted person, but he seems to be a little eager to do things." If he had passed the word from person to person for half an hour in the evening, no one would have scolded him for disturbing his dreams. ”
After writing down this matter, Xu Qi didn't think much about it, closed his eyes and sat down, and used the method of inner vision of the soul.
Previously, the Divine Soul was not strong enough, and there were many methods that could not be applied. Now that he has absorbed the soul power of the Chaos Heavenly Demon, his divine soul has more than doubled, and he can cultivate many divine soul changes.
For Xu Qi, the most important thing is to cultivate the means of constituting thoughts.
Thought differentiation can be said to be the most effective means of improving the soul. In the struggle between monks, in addition to looking at their own realm, cultivation, and the method they cultivate, they also need to see which of the two sides can turn into more ideas. If you have one more thought than the other party, you will be able to manipulate one more means to fight the enemy.
After reaching a certain level, once the fight begins, it is a magic weapon flying, the sword light flashes, and the monk himself has to control his own movement and use all kinds of spells. If you don't divide many thoughts, you will suffer a lot when you fight.
Although Xu Qi can manipulate the Sun-Snatching Dharma Body, it is also because the Sun-Snatching Dharma Body was subdued by Xu Qi, with him as the main body, and his mind is the same. can control the blood mist and blood light on the long knife, because the long knife is dominated by him, and the blood mist and blood light can change at will, and Xu Qi can activate it without thinking about manipulating it.
But just like the jade skeleton bracelet he just got, as well as the Qiankun bag and cloth bag, Xu Qiqi couldn't think about it, so he couldn't find out. Although Xu Qi can enter it with a divine soul, the situation inside is unknown, and it is really impossible to say whether it is safe or not. If you divide a thought and enter, what is in it is like in front of your own eyes, even if you encounter danger, it is just the loss of a thought that is differentiated by a divine soul, and it is harmless.
Thought differentiation is the differentiation of a part of the consciousness that has no autonomous consciousness and is connected to the soul from the soul. This thing seems simple, but the structure of the divine soul is the most complicated, although the Jiuyang Demon Venerable has told Xu Qi the trick of this, but Xu Qi is still a little jerky when he starts it for the first time.
After a lot of effort, Xu Qi finally came up with an idea in his soul.
Opening his eyes, Xu Qiyan looked at Wang Mingshi's sword placed aside, his mind turned, and the thoughts in his soul were attached to the long sword.
For a moment, the situation changed in my mind. Although Xu Qishuang's eyes looked at the long sword, he seemed to have two pairs of eyes in his mind, one pair looked at the long sword, and the other pair looked at himself on the long sword. There seemed to be an invisible link between the sword and himself, like a part of his body.
Everything on this long sword was also clear to Xu Qi. Inside the long sword, there is a majestic righteousness, which is hidden but not released.
This kind of change in vision and perception really made Xu Qi, who had just cultivated the means of differentiation of ideas, a little uncomfortable.
The mind turned, Xu Qi wanted to manipulate the long sword in the air, but the long sword only bounced twice on the table, and did not fly under the manipulation of the thought.
Shaking his head, Xu Qi withdrew that thought. I guess it's because my thoughts are not strong enough to manipulate real things, and I can't use the means of flying sword assassination right now.
Putting the long sword aside and ignoring it, Xu Qi thought about it and turned into the green jade skull bracelet. He had been trying to figure out what the hell was going on with this bracelet and see if he could apply it.
Although the skull bracelet was made of eighteen skeletons, Xu Qi knew that these eighteen skulls had already been sacrificed into one, and they did not exist separately from each other.
On this skull bracelet there is a circular complex magic circle, in which eighteen skulls are arranged, which is the eighteen operating cores of the formation.
There was an empty space in the center of this formation, which looked like it should be the core of the formation, but there was nothing in it.
Thinking about the changes in the bracelet before, Xu Qi vaguely understood something in his heart: "The souls of ordinary people who were turned into powerful ghosts before should be trapped in the magic circle on this skeleton bracelet, and each powerful ghost occupies a skull while supporting the magic circle in this bracelet. Now that those powerful ghosts have been refined by me, this magic circle has lost the foundation of operation, and the original face of the bracelet has been revealed. ”
"So, if you want this bracelet to work, you have to kill someone and put some souls in it......"
Xu Qi looked at the bracelet, muttered a few words to himself, and put the bracelet aside. Regarding the matter of killing, Xu Qi adapted quickly. If he kills someone who can be killed, as long as it is not a disgusting thing like a spiritual machine, Xu Qi doesn't mind using the opponent's divine soul waste. It's just that where can I find a killer for a while? This thing is still put aside for the time being, and if I really have the opportunity to take it out in the future, I will ponder it.
He took the cloth bag and flew his thoughts in as usual.
This cloth bag is also a small world, but it is not a "heaven and earth", a total of thirty zhang square, there are a lot of things. The most common of these are gold and silver jewelry, and then there are some things that are used in daily life. There are also swords and dust, bottles and cans and things like that. These swords are not of good quality, at most they can only be regarded as sharp. As for the pills and pills in those bottles and jars, Xu Qi didn't know either, let alone what these pills were for. However, thinking about what Lingjizi had done, Xu Qi didn't think that many of these pills would be used for legitimate purposes.
After exploring the small world in this cloth bag, Xu Qi didn't find anything useful. Attaching the thought to the cloth bag, the thought turned, and swept the mess back in the room.
After thinking about it, Xu Qi put the white jade skeleton and skeleton bracelet, along with Wang Mingshi's sword, into the Qiankun bag. Lingjizi is eyeing himself precisely because of this white jade skeleton, in order to avoid more trouble, it is safer to receive these things in the Qiankun bag. Although this Qiankun bag is small, it is also a small world, and others will never be able to sense what is in the Qiankun bag.
After doing all this, the sky was already bright, and the inn was lively. Xu Qi walked out of the door, and saw a lot of scholars who had eaten breakfast walking together, talking and laughing and walking outside the inn.
The reason why Xu Qi rushed down the mountain at this time was to catch up with the imperial examination. Naturally, he would not take the exam, but the Confucian students of the world gathered in the capital, and Xu Qi wanted to take this opportunity to see the mentality of the Confucian students of the world. If you have the opportunity, you will take the opportunity to promote your ideas among the Confucian students, and find out some people who have the same ideas as you from the Confucian students in the world.
Wang Mingshi's concept of fighting with the Immortal Sect is right, but it is wrong on the route. Xu Qi came to the capital this time to see how many of the Confucian students in the world had some ideas to compete with the Immortal Dao in their hearts.
Only by seeing the thoughts of Confucian students in the world can Xu Qi carry out his next plan.
There are students on the upper floor around the beam to debate the scriptures and discuss major events in the world, which is also a good opportunity for Xu Qi, so naturally he can't let it go.
After washing, eating, and drinking, he asked where the Liang Building was, and Xu Qi wandered around.
The three-storey building around the beam is quite large, and it is expensive and elegant, and it has always been the favorite place of literati and artists.
When Xu Qi came to the Beam-Wrapping Building, the Beam-Wrapping Building was already overcrowded, and all of them were dressed as scholars. The seats in the lobby were already full, and latecomers like Xu Qi had no choice but to stand.
Although there are many people on this floor, it is very quiet, and anyone who coughs will be glared at by several people. Not only did Xiao Er, who served tea and water, be light-footed, but even the shopkeeper didn't knock on the abacus, so as not to disturb the quiet of this floor.
Standing in this lobby, I can vaguely hear the sound of talking coming from the second floor. The second floor is not loud, and it is difficult to understand without trying to listen to it.
Seeing this strange situation, Xu Qi was also light and did not make any big noise. After listening attentively for a while, Xu Qi vaguely heard that the second floor was discussing the interpretation of the Confucian classics. The discussion was discussed by both sides, and the words were like a river, and it sounded like a river of words, and it did sound that they had put a lot of effort into the Confucian classics.
When Xu Qi was in his last life, he also learned fragments of Confucian classics in textbooks, and it was not difficult to memorize a few sentences. But when it comes to debating the scriptures, Xu Qi is not as good as these students who have been immersed in Confucian classics for ten years.
Besides, Xu Qi didn't think that debating the scriptures and righteousness could lead to a debate. In the past, the disciples of the Confucian saints were known as 3,000 disciples, and there were 72 sages, but there were a few great talents in governing the country and the country? Wang Mingshi was also a Confucian master, but in addition to teaching the scriptures and attaining enlightenment, what did Wang Mingshi do? What about the Confucian master, didn't he finally say the words like the wailing of a defeated dog?
So Xu Qi really has no interest in such an academic debate.
At this time, the discussion on the upper floor of the beam stopped, and a young man dressed as a scholar walked down from the second floor.
Watching the young man walk down the second floor, there was a commotion in the lobby, which was originally very quiet, and the Confucian scholars exchanged their heads and ears.
"How many are these? It's the seventh, isn't it? This brother has been holding on for a long time, nearly a quarter of an hour......
"Well, indeed! it's the seventh...... However, it is also very good to be able to survive for so long under the ninth place on the list of Guozijian's 'two subjects'. ”
