At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Changsheng opened his eyes. He didn't wake up from sleep, but from a meditative state. Confirming that his body still hadn't changed in any way, he shook his head and walked back to the small building to start taking a shower. Leaning against the edge of the barrel, letting the slightly hot water soak his tired body and mind, he sighed through the soaked towel and muttered, "When will we find a way?"

The barrel, about half a man high, rested under the courtyard wall at the back of the building, very close to the wall. The next moment, he heard a faint sigh and a word full of distress from the other side of the wall: "When will I find that person?"

Chen Changsheng remembered the sigh he heard yesterday morning, took the wet towel off his face, and turned to look at the courtyard wall. The eye is a green vine, the courtyard wall is very high, you can't see the scenery on that side, and you don't know who is talking to it.

That voice was very immature, it should be a girl - everyone's sadness is not the same, but it is also sadness, Chen Changsheng suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her on the other side of the courtyard wall, but it immediately occurred to him that his current situation was really not qualified to sympathize with others.

The next few days were uneventful. He read in the library every day, and at night he led the starlight to wash the marrow, and in the process of washing the marrow, he always closed his eyes and meditated, naturally not knowing that the starlight had seeped into his body—from the appearance alone, there was indeed no change, and the result was a little disappointing, but he still practiced diligently and was not affected in any way.

Just like his practice, the renovation work of the Anglican College continues in an orderly manner. The priest of the cardinal office did not stand in front of the stage to preside, but there was no shortage of funds that should have been allocated, and it was quite timely, and the craftsmen and servants naturally did not dare to slack off.

Since the courtyard walls that have been in disrepair for a long time cannot even isolate the sound, it is naturally possible to breathe in the wind.

The news that the Kokyo College was being renovated soon spread in Kyoto, and the news that the Kokyo College had an additional student gradually became known. It's just because of the real reason for the fall of the Anglican College that people only dare to talk in private, where they dare to come to investigate, and in the end they just add some talking points between the dinner table and the tea case.

Chen Changsheng didn't know that there was a hidden wind and rain in the world outside the road, he was silently reading and practicing on the campus in the depths of Baihua Lane, repeating the same life, and he didn't feel that this day was very monotonous and boring.

On the surface, it seemed that he no longer cared whether the marrow was successfully cleaned, but in fact his mind was all tied to it, and the floor of the library had not been scrubbed for days, which was rare for him to be so clean, as evidenced by this.

The failure to wash the marrow does not mean that he has not gained anything from his study and life here.

He read a lot of books in the library, most of the books he had already read in Xining Town, and some of the books on cultivation were the first time he saw them.

When he was a child, when he memorized those Taoist treasures, he didn't know what the difficult words of the Dao meant by them, and he couldn't get a specific answer when he asked the master with his senior brother, so he thought it was those metaphysical things, and he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until now that he came to Kyoto and saw the introductory books on cultivation such as the Theory of Washing the Pulp in the National Religious College, that he knew that there were cultivation methods in the world, the valuable experience left by those strong people in the previous generation, the exercises that were not passed on by the major sects, and even some secrets that were not passed on by the strong people of the demon race, all of which were in the three thousand volumes of the Dao Collection in the old temple of Xining Town!

What does this mean?

Who said he couldn't practice? No, he just hadn't started to practice yet, that's what he had in mind before. Now, he knew that this sentence was also wrong. Who said he hadn't started his cultivation yet? No, he had been practicing since the moment he started talking!

The 3,000 volumes of Daozang in the old temple of Xining Town are countless fragments of knowledge related to cultivation, in the past, in his spiritual world, it was a fog, and now the cultivation method he knows is a very small dust, which becomes the core in the fog, so the water vapor began to crystallize, and a torrential rain fell!

Chen Changsheng has entered a very wonderful realm or journey, which can be said to be a bypass, or it can be said to be an initiation, just like being drunk, but in fact, the closest description to the truth should be those four words: thick accumulation.

Since Ji Daoren picked him up by the stream, it has been more than 14 years now, and he has been reading every day and night for 14 years, and this 14 years of reading career is a process of accumulation, he has laid an extremely solid foundation, and what he finally needs is just an opportunity to be able to convert all the knowledge he has mastered in these 14 years into his own cognition of the world, and then into his own strength.

It's like a jar of gunpowder being ignited by a spark.

There was a big explosion in Chen Changsheng's spiritual realm. He greedily read all the books in the library and mastered the rules of cultivation, so that he could reassemble the fragments of information on the Xining Town Dao Collection, re-study and then truly grasp it, understand the secrets of the cultivation world at an unimaginable speed, and master the details of those cultivation methods. In terms of cultivation knowledge alone, there are probably very few people in the world world who are more extensive than him!

failed to wash the marrow successfully, but suddenly had such a big harvest, for Chen Changsheng, this is a surprise and a comfort. When his emotions calmed down, he had a lot of confusion and uneasiness. He walked to the window of the library, looked in the direction of Xining Town, and thought silently, the Taoist treasure in that old temple was not extraordinary, and the master was naturally not a mortal, he had laid such a solid foundation for his own cultivation, why did he refuse to teach himself to practice directly, and he had to let himself come to Kyoto to start? Could it be because his physical illness was not curable, and he wanted to let himself come here to see if there was any chance?

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed, and the people from the Eastern Imperial Divine General's Mansion had not appeared again, and the little girl named Shuang'er had not come, and the peaceful life had not been disturbed, which made him very happy, but Tang Thirty-six had not appeared, which made him a little unhappy - he left an address in the inn, thinking that the other party should be able to find himself, okay, that guy may also be practicing penance in the Heavenly Dao Academy.

There is only Chen Changsheng in the National Education College, and this is his own college.

He studied quietly and practiced silently, gradually forgetting the outside world. He has been forgotten by the world outside the world, sometimes thinking of the idle chatter he heard when he was in the cardinal's office, thinking of the excitement of the Tiandao Academy and the Xingxing Academy's orientation activities, he was a little envious, but he didn't care too much, he had long been accustomed to this boring and monotonous life - studying with his senior brother in the old temple of Xining Town, he could only hear his voice alone.

It's just that it has been many days since the marrow was washed, and there is still no change in his body, and there is no hope of success. He wouldn't give up, but after all, he became more indifferent, and he decided that in a few days, if it didn't work, he would go to the books to find some other way.

Indifference sometimes makes people lose some of their sharpness, but it will also make people more calm - that is, Chen Changsheng's current mental state, it can't be said to return to his original heart, it can be regarded as returning to the beginning, at this time, looking at the shallow dust on the floor, he frowned when he liked cleanliness, and he didn't like it.

These dislikes were more for himself, and he felt that he had become a lot lazier.

He drew clean water from the well and began to scrub the floor. The dust gradually cleared, and after a certain piece of the floor was wet and wiped clean by water, there was a faint fragrance, and he forgot that it was the sweat that flowed from the lighting of the star that day, and he was a little puzzled. The scent was really faint, and it disappeared when it was blown by the night wind.

After doing these things, he sat down casually and continued to start the starlight cleansing.

There was silence in the Anglican Academy, he closed his eyes and meditated, completely forgetting the difference between things and self, and naturally did not hear the night birds in the woods outside the window, the night birds that were supposed to rest suddenly chirped, the sound was crisp and moving, and the frog chirping that had stopped for several days also became louder again, and he was extremely happy.

A butterfly flew out of the window, landed on the floor beside him, and never left.

It was the piece of floor he had just wiped clean.

......

......

Hyakka-do is an ordinary alley in Kyoto, of course, it was once famous, because the National Education College in the depths of the alley was once famous, and at the same time, the Hyakusa Garden at the other end of the alley was also famous, which was once the royal garden of the previous dynasty.

One of the most famous rebellions in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty also took place in Baicaoyuan. Emperor Taizong, who was still His Royal Highness the Prince, hurriedly rode his horse from the palace to the palace, and it was here that he encountered an ambush by the rest of the Royal Highnesses of the Prince, when Emperor Taizong was still wearing a nightgown.

The final outcome of that rebellion was known to the people of the whole continent, and His Majesty Taizong won the most thrilling victory, and his brothers were executed on the spot, along with hundreds of followers who were beheaded.

Because of this bloody or disgraceful history, the Baicao Garden was abolished as a royal garden and handed over to the management of the National Sect Tiande Hall to grow medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits. I don't know if it was because the soil of the Baicao Garden that day absorbed too many nutrients from blood and water, or because there were too many corpses buried in the ground, the medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits here were extremely good, and they were valued by the imperial court again, and they were extremely strictly guarded.

In fact, only a very small number of people know that the reason why the Baicao Garden is heavily guarded, in addition to the fact that those medicinal herb spirit fruits are too rare, is also because there are often some important people who are inconvenient to show up to live here, such as when the Holy Emperor Niangniang was expelled from the palace for the first time, she led the cultivation in the temple here, and it is precisely because of this that the Heavenly Dao Hall later reaped great benefits.

Now there is also a noble man living in the Baicao Garden.

Under the old wall covered with green vines, there are stone tables and chairs, and there are tea bowls on the table, and in the bowl is the rare and precious Congyu new tea.

A little girl is drinking tea.

Her face is childish, her eyes are like ink stars, her lips are like red plums, her long eyelashes, and there are two faint blushes on her tender white cheeks, which looks extremely beautiful.

It's a very healthy beauty, and it's pleasant to look at, without any distractions.

The little girl herself was not very happy, and looked very sad, for she had not yet found the man.
