Night.

Through a wooden door and a curtain of cloth, you can hear the sound of my mother and sister whispering.

Sister Zhou Zihe said that when he went to return the clothes just now, one of the merchants gave two more copper coins boldly, and said that someone was so ugly every time he spoke, and suggested not to pick up his clothes in the future.

Her mother taught her: We do work, we have work to do, there are clothes to wash, it means that we have a salary to earn, where can we pick someone to take the work? Pick this today, pick that tomorrow, pick and choose, what if everyone doesn't let us wash clothes in the future?

So Zhou Zihe stopped talking, and said after a long time: "Anyway, I don't want to wash his clothes in the future!"

Zhou Ang listened for a while, until the conversation stopped over there, guessing that they should have fallen asleep, and then sighed softly - in fact, they don't have to do work, and washing clothes for those merchants who are running north and south is really not a good job.

The purchasing power of one hundred taels of silver is actually quite scary, and it is about enough for a family of three to eat for two or three years.

The so-called "middle-sized households" in the city are generally where the husband has a very good job, can get a stable and not low salary every month, and the family already has a small asset.

But the problem is that the hundred taels of silver can't be taken out yet.

Therefore, Zhou Ang felt that it was necessary for him to find a job next, even if it was just a job on the surface, and then he could choose a similar time and justifiably launder this "black money".

Well, let's not think about that for now, after all, it's not an urgent need.

Although there was a lot of delay in the middle, the five copies of the Diamond Sutra were copied just now, and they can be used to receive their wages tomorrow - for now, this money can see the light.

Although more than 200 wen is taken home every few days, my mother is still reluctant to eat rice, but she can feel that after only two or three efforts, her whole person seems to be more confident.

The last time she had dinner, she even began to talk about saving up again, and she was going to start asking someone to find a daughter-in-law - Zhou Ang was eighteen years old and had to think about it.

............

After studying some ink again, Zhou Ang took a deep breath, let his mind withdraw from these trivial things of life, picked up the pen, hung it on a new piece of paper, and thought for a long time.

He was going to sort out his own path of cultivation.

Uncle Shi obviously has real skills, and he also knows everything, it is said that he should be an excellent teacher, but on the contrary, maybe for him, practice is not a difficult thing, it is just that, it is very simple, and therefore, he does not think that practice must be clearly organized, he thinks that it is only ordinary mediocre people need - but Zhou Ang feels that he is just a mediocre and dull person.

He's too ranked.

And the "mountain gate" that I joined doesn't seem to have any mature model for apprenticeship, it's purely just thinking of what tells you.

Lack of planning and regulation.

He came from the modern world, and he was not only accustomed to having standard answers for exams, but also to standardized data analysis for everything.

You have to take this thing, describe it, it's a lot of words, I'm sorry, I don't have a concept, if you take a stack of data lists, I'll flip through it, okay, there are counts.

The strong, the weak, the good, the bad, are clear at a glance, and the next planning direction is easy to mention and do.

Therefore, it was okay when he first started, no matter what it was, he had a concept and a general direction, which was not bad, but with the recent days, this series of things happened, and he deeply understood that he had indeed stepped into the door of cultivation, so he felt that he could no longer follow his uncle to continue to mysterious.

If you have any questions or questions, you can ask him.

The key general direction must also listen to him.

But the specific details still have to be done by yourself, calculated clearly, and know in your heart, so that you can rest assured.

After thinking for a long time, he first put down his pen and wrote down three words on the paper—

Breathing, body refining, guidance.

The first two are what even Uncle Shi has to emphasize, and they are the fundamental laws of cultivation, and the latter one is what Uncle Shi has instructed him to do, but the name is his own.

Zhou Ang feels that these three points are equally important.

The breathing method is used to absorb the aura, the body refining method is used to temper oneself, and the guidance technique is used to assimilate the aura and prevent backlash.

It's just that the first two point to cultivation itself, while the latter is not a specific method, but only gives guidance for doing things in the future.

He thought about these three words for a long time, and his heart was already clear, so he picked up his pen again and wrote down a line of words-

The Tao is divided into nine levels, such as the nine grades of demons.

I thought about it, especially recalling some of the things that my uncle said casually when he was teaching, and wrote-

Between each step, the difference is like the sky, and the difficulty of upgrading is like ascending to the sky.

Then go ahead and write –

The key to promotion: full of aura, elixir help.

This is what Uncle Shi talked about in the first class.

After "enlightenment", even if you are promoted to the ninth order and become a practitioner, you have the most basic things of a cultivator, such as being able to learn the breathing method and the body refining method, which can be used to absorb spiritual energy and temper the body.

Then, this is a continuous process, at present, Uncle Shi has not given an accurate data, what is the "full of aura", only said that "you will naturally know when the time comes", Zhou Ang himself understands, this should be a process of quantitative change causing qualitative change.

But how much this amount is needed, it is not known at the moment.

And after accumulating enough amount, if you want to really complete the qualitative change, you still need an introduction, that is, the elixir.

Zhou Ang is not worried about this at present.

Although the "mountain gate" is very "small", it feels like it has a high specification.

No matter from which point of view, Uncle Shi should be a powerful person. Then you don't have to think about it, you know that your real master must be much more powerful than your uncle!

You must know that even Uncle Shi was accepted by the master on behalf of the master to accept the apprentice, but in fact, he has never heard of the master and the master - this is very powerful!

Since he can teach his uncle to the current level, it shows that the foundation of the mountain gate is very thick.

Therefore, the matter of the pill, backed by such a mountain gate, basically does not have to worry too much.

And besides, I'm just getting started now, a little warlock of the ninth order, and this is not something that should be worried.

So, writing here, the problem gradually becomes clear -

There are two things I should do next.

The first is to take the initiative to do something that requires the use of Reiki.

Second, it is necessary to slowly figure out what constitutes "full aura".

Well, that's pretty clear.

The breathing method absorbs the aura, the body refining method tempers itself, and then constantly does things, assimilating the aura in the body, until he feels that the "aura is full", and then with the help of the elixir, he completes the leap to the eighth order.

Oh yes, it's a little bit close.

There is already a little bit of aura accumulation in his body, but he still lacks some effective use techniques, and at present, he can barely be regarded as a cultivator with skills that are different from ordinary people, and he probably only has a night vision, and a sixth sense beyond ordinary people.

This is definitely not good, you can't rely on the charm to fight back when you meet an opponent in the future, right?

If you are unreliable, your strength is low, and if you use talismans at every turn, you are afraid that you will not be able to bear it!

So, he picked up the pen again and wrote down another word on the paper—

Skill.

Putting down the pen, looking and thinking about it again, he finally sighed with satisfaction.

That's it.

My next goal is to do these three things well.

............

Zhou Ang's mind gradually stabilized.

He decided to use this "write down" method often in the future to help him sort out his thoughts.

After looking at it again, he made sure that he had no problem with his train of thought, and then he found the fire fold, and when he had started the fire, he pulled the paper in his hand and set it on fire.

When the fire disc fell to the ground, it then fell silent, and darkness returned to the room.

Zhou Ang let out a sigh of satisfaction.
