The next morning, Chu Xiqing sat in the school, the sun shining through the window, and fine dust floating in the air. The students around him were reading loudly, but he was staring at the book in a daze.

Now Chu Xiqing listened to things like "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" in his ears, and inevitably thought a lot. My thoughts kept drifting away, and I had already thrown the class out of the clouds.

It has long been the norm not to listen to lectures like this, but Chu Xiqing has not fallen behind at all.

Chu Xiqing knew that this should be due to the divine consciousness mentioned in the Zhengyuan Dharma Book.

Divine consciousness exists in the sea of knowledge. All souls are born with the sea of knowledge.

Although it is not said in the book, Chu Xiqing thinks that knowing the sea should be consciousness, but he has never felt it clearly.

The benefits of becoming stronger are very obvious, the memory has become stronger, even if the lights are picked up overnight, the next day is still in good spirits, and it seems that he has become more intelligent, and he can understand a lot of obscure words and sentences.

More importantly, one of the keys to using qi to control objects is divine consciousness, which is directly related to the accuracy of the objects and the control time.

Chu Xiqing has always dreamed of being able to fly with a sword, a sword frost in the fourteen states, what a chic and heroic posture it should be!

As soon as his mind moved, he immediately mobilized a wisp of qi to stand up the brush on the table and slowly wrote the words "Chu Xiqing". During the period, I did not forget to pretend to play the role of the hand in writing.

The three characters are very sloppy and difficult to see. Even so, Chu Xiqing is still very happy, it doesn't matter if the writing is ugly, I can always write well if I practice more, and then I don't need to do it.

Ji Lingze, who was wearing white clothes in the school, was reading a good book, but suddenly his face showed a different color and looked in the direction of Chu Xiqing. After reading it for a while, he turned his head and went to read a book by himself.

At this moment, Chu Xiqing naturally didn't know that he was struggling with a question - what was the purpose of cultivating the method of refining qi.

Just after putting down the pen, Chu Xiqing suddenly thought that I was practicing so that I didn't have to write in the future? Wrong wrong. Is it to be able to fly? As if that weren't enough.

He suddenly found himself practicing purely out of curiosity about new things, just like he had learned to make porcelain, on a whim, this time it was nothing more than a little longer, without any purpose, and he was at a loss.

The loud lecture of the master in the school, the students who want to listen carefully but are tired, Ji Lingze who is silent in thought, Chu Xiqing who is dazed, and Ying Zhao who is staring out the window in a daze.

…………

Before the children's exam, a female student came to the school, with a vertical red between her eyebrows, named Cao Shu, which surprised Chu Xiqing, it was the girl who met him by the river that day to practice qi. Cao Shu is taller and more complexion than before, and it can be seen that she is a beauty.

Chu Xiqing obviously felt that apart from the changes in Cao Shu's appearance, there was something else that was different, but he couldn't say what it was.

Cao Shu had a good impression of Chu Xiqing, and the two soon became friends, sometimes traveling together, causing Ying Zhao to excitedly speculate about the relationship between the two. Once Cao Shu smiled and performed the "acrobatics" she mistakenly thought was for Chu Xiqing, Chu Xiqing was secretly shocked in his heart, because he felt the fluctuation of qi, and then Xiao Nizi blinked her eyes and asked, "You are a qi practitioner, right?" With a sly glint in her eyes, Chu Xiqing gasped......

In a blink of an eye, the children's test was over, some people were happy and some were worried on the day of the announcement, Chu Xiqing saw his name on the list, he was not surprised at all, and Ying Zhao was not surprised that he didn't win, the only thing that surprised Chu Xiqing was that his classmate Ji Lingze actually won the first place in the children's test in Hanjiang County. And Cao Shu didn't take the exam, she said that she just came to learn words and read, and her master said that reading can make people smarter.

The Chu family's house was full of joy, Chu Xiqing waved his hand to the smiling Chu mother to express calmness, this is just a small scene, and then he has to go out to study, speaking of this, Chu Mu couldn't help but worry, and asked, "Qing'er, can you do it alone?" On the side, Chen Jin also said: "Yes, little master, why don't I go with you." ”

Chu Xiqing shook his head again and again, and said confidently: "Back then, the eldest brother could go to the capital alone, why couldn't I?" Besides, it didn't go out of Jiang County, so it wasn't far. ”

Hearing this, Chu Mu's frown was also soothed a lot, she was both happy and worried, and could only say, "Okay, but before you leave, let me take care of it for you." Chu Xiqing smiled: "This is nature. ”

Within two days, Ying Zhao found Chu and Ji and said goodbye to them. Ying Zhao said: "I thought about it, I really don't want to study, so I still follow my father to learn business." I'll see less in the future, but don't forget me. ”

Chu and Ji were silent for a moment after hearing this, glanced at each other, suddenly hugged Ying Zhao, and joked: "How can I forget you, make more money, and borrow from you in the future." ”

"Take care."

"Take care."

Late in the sky and snow, Chu Xiqing walked on the road, a little emotional, from Jingcheng all the way to Hanjiang County so far, there are partings and encounters, it seems that life is composed of scenes of gathering and dispersing, nothing more than being able to meet again and never see each other again. I don't know when I will say goodbye today?

This year, the snow is very heavy, the whole Hanjiang County is like wearing a silver suit, the scenery is extremely beautiful, if it is said that the snow is a good year, then the next year must be extremely bumper.

In the courtyard of the Chu family, the sky was full of snow, Chu Xiqing used the sword with qi, the flying sword slashed the snow, cut it randomly, and stood on the side of the sword, quite a master's demeanor. He was practicing for the future Imperial Sword, and Chu Mu planned to give him an iron sword to defend himself, which was exactly what he wanted, and the wooden sword had long been tired of playing.

After the beginning of spring, the snow has not yet completely melted. Outside Hanjiang County, Chu Xiqing shook the bookcase he was carrying behind him, turned around and waved goodbye to Chu Mu and Chen Jin, who had to be sent here, and embarked on the road to study.

The spring cold is precipitous, Chu Xiqing is still wearing cotton clothes, and after walking for more than ten miles, it is inevitable that he will be a little hot, so he sat down to rest. He used to take the official road, but now he has changed to a small road. Although this kind of path is not spared, it is unmanaged, and there are occasional robbers and bandits.

Chu Xiqing took out the kettle and took a sip, looking around, he had some inexplicable expectations in his heart, why don't you come to one and let me practice my hands?

After resting for a while, I walked for a few miles, and finally met pedestrians, some in horse-drawn carriages, some in two or three carrying large bags and small bags, and there were not many people in total.

Chu Xiqing followed the crowd for a while, and a red dress suddenly appeared in the crowd, and everyone seemed to be unconscious. The woman in red silently listened to the conversation of the people around her, and suddenly let out a sigh of relief, looking a little helpless, her eyes inadvertently fell on Chu Xiqing, the woman was obviously stunned, and then as if she had seen something terrible, her eyes burst with essence, her expression was excited, and she stretched out her snow-white slender hand from her sleeve, and then frowned, and her hand retracted.

The woman in red slowly approached Chu Xiqing, and a smile couldn't stop appearing on her face.

Chu Xiqing found that a woman in red was approaching him, he was very surprised, and even more surprised by the beauty of the woman, her delicate face was slightly covered with light makeup, which was even more charming, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise to add a bit of liveliness and playfulness.

And, the sheer power is unforgettable.

However, Chu Xiqing didn't think about this in his heart, he was very scared of the strange smile that the woman showed when she stared at him.

He touched the saber on his waist, let out a sigh, a little relieved, and thought, "There are so many people, she shouldn't dare to do anything." ”

In this way, Xiang'an walked all the way, and finally came to a fork in the road, Chu Xiqing walked to the right road, the woman in red followed, and only the two of them walked to the right in a group of people, and the others walked to the left in unison.

After noticing the abnormality, Chu Xiqing suddenly became a little nervous, "hiss~" He gasped, "What does she want to do?" ”

From time to time, I used my spare eyes to look at the woman, and found that she was just following, as if she had no other thoughts, which made Chu Xiqing even more overwhelmed.

Suddenly, a rough "stop, rob" broke the silence, startling Chu Xiqing, he looked forward, only to see three men in burlap clothes holding big knives in the middle of the road, the first one was tall, with a long scar on his face, murderous: there was also a thin body, thief eyebrows, and the last person was fierce, shouting: "Hand over the valuable things on your body!" ”

Chu Xiqing raised his eyebrows, the woman in red frowned, and neither of them moved.

The thin man kept staring at the woman in red, his eyes were green, he laughed twice, and smiled at the scar-faced man: "Big brother, look at that woman, she is so beautiful, hehe." After speaking, he wiped his mouth.

After he said this, the three of them focused on the woman in red, and their eyes were all ill-intentioned, and the scar-faced man smiled evilly: "Little lady, come to us as a lady of the village, and ensure that you eat and drink spicy food." ”

The woman in red's face was as cold as frost, which matched the spring cold of March, and she smiled on her lips, "Hehe." The sound is like a silver bell, but it makes people shudder.

Chu Xiqing was very entangled in whether to save the woman in red, and always felt that she was going to be unfavorable to him. Three mortals, what if they have a sword, under my flying sword, they are nothing.

Chu Xi cleared his voice and asked indifferently, "What if I don't pay it?" ”

"Don't pay?! If you don't pay it, you die! The bandit, who had just begun to speak, slashed with his knife. Chu Xiqing had already poured some of his qi into his feet along the meridians, and at this time, his feet exerted his strength and his body retreated, and at the same time he drew his sword and threw it at the man, secretly controlling it with qi.

The thief thought that he was a young man and was already frightened, how could he have expected such a change, he hurriedly dodged, he could dodge, and after being frightened, he wanted to continue to cut, but the sword hovered two inches from his neck, and the cold light was pressing.

The other two thieves' eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost. The woman in red looked at Chu Xiqing with some confusion.

Chu Xiqing stood with his hands in his hands and said indifferently: "Do you want to continue?" ”

The three thieves immediately threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain has eyes and no beads, and he collided with the immortal master, and I hope the immortal master will forgive his sins."

Seeing this scene, Chu Xiqing felt a little awkward in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and said: "Okay, you can go, don't do evil things in the future, if you let me know that you will harm people again, I will not be spared."

"Yes, yes, I won't dare in the future." The three thieves ran away with a roll.

The woman in red exclaimed: "Wow, the young man is so powerful!"

Chu Xiqing stubbornly asked: "My surname is Chu, my name is Xiqing, dare to ask this sister's name?"

The woman in red replied, "The little woman's name is Chen Xueyue. Chu Shaoxia just call me by name. ”

Chu Xiqing nodded and said, "I see that Sister Chen, you seem to be on the same road as me, I don't know where Sister Chen is going?"

Chen Xueyue suddenly looked sad, wanted to cry, and said in a mournful voice: "I can't hide it, there was an accident in the family before, and both parents died, so this trip is to go to Nanzheng County to seek refuge with relatives."

Although Chu Xiqing still felt strange, his guard relaxed a little in his heart, and said: "Jiejie, I am just about to pass through Nanzheng County, so let's go with Sister Chen, in case I encounter bandits again."

When Chen Xueyue heard this, her smile was overflowing, and she nodded.

Walking side by side for a while, Chen Xueyue suddenly asked, "Chu Shaoxia, why did you let go of those three thieves just now?" They will definitely hurt people in the future. ”

Chu Xiqing shook his head and said hesitantly, "I didn't think about killing them."

Chen Xueyue smiled and didn't speak.

After coming to Nanzheng County, it was already afternoon, Chu Xiqing felt a little hungry, so he said: "Sister Chen, I'm going to eat at a restaurant, you go to find relatives."

Chen Xueyue said: "I'll go with you, I'll invite Chu Shaoxia to eat this meal, and save your life, please don't refuse."

Chu Xiqing had no choice but to nod.

After eating, the two separated, and Chu Xiqing wanted to go to the Pingfeng Academy next to Nanzheng County.

Chen Xueyue watched Chu Xiqing go away, muttered, and then went around in Nanzheng County, bought a lot of snacks, and walked aimlessly.

At dusk, Chen Xueyue was holding a sugar gourd, as if she had made up her mind, and it disappeared in a flash.

Chu Xiqing walked for a day, even if he was blessed with qi, he felt that his feet hurt a little, seeing that the Pingfeng Academy was in front of him, he quickened his pace, but a female voice suddenly sounded: "Chu Shaoxia, your flying sword is really powerful today, can you teach me?"

Chu Xiqing's heart was shocked, and he turned his head to see Chen Xueyue wearing red clothes and holding a sugar gourd, looking at himself with a smile.

Chu Xiqing's heart was not good, and he said with difficulty: "Chen ...... Sister Chen, I'm afraid this is not easy to teach you. ”

Chen Xueyue sighed lightly: "Alas, if you don't teach me, I'll teach you!" Chu Xiqing, would you like to worship me as a teacher?" The tone was excited.

Chu Xiqing muttered secretly, "Inexplicable." Reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "No, Sister Chen, I still have to go to school."

Chen Xueyue smiled evilly: "Haha, this is not up to you." My good apprentice!"

Chu Xiqing turned around and was about to run, when he suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was unconscious.

As the sun sets, only sugar gourd strings remain on the scene.

[I feel like the pace is a little slow in front, but it's fine to go back.] 】
