Chapter 19: Studying (Asking for Recommendations!)
The scriptures are only a few hundred words, but they have made all the important points of practice clear, and the small ones are big, broad and profound, and how much they can comprehend depends on their personal understanding.
"Take the image of Jinhua, and also include the secret word of light, which is the true Qi of the innate Taiyi......"
According to the method described in the scriptures, Qiao Chen'an put his hands on his chest to make a cross mark, exhaling and inhaling, just to better communicate the ubiquitous innate qi in the void.
He hugged Yuan Shouyi, contemplating the heart of heaven, wanting to get a glimpse of the 'sexual light' that belonged to him in the dark, so as to communicate the vitality between heaven and earth.
But how easy is it to do this, ordinary people act by their hearts, and only know how to go with their hearts and pursue temporary pleasures, how can they understand what 'sexual light' is?
Although he condensed the Yin God and first passed the 'sex pass', it was still not easy to find the 'true nature' hidden in his spiritual thoughts.
He is not the only one in this world who has cultivated the Taiyi Jinhua Dafa, but except for the founder of this method, who clearly saw his true heart in a moment, everyone else spent a lot of time on this step before they were able to get started.
After meditating for two hours, Qiao Chenan withdrew from the state of cultivation, but he still did not find the 'sexual light', but he was not discouraged, if the cultivation was so easy, then the monks in this world would have long been unknown.
Moreover, this cultivation, he was not without gains, the power of the Yin God had grown a lot, and it was no longer as miserable as when he had just returned from killing the Ghost King.
His eyes were lowered, and his eyes touched the small sword placed at the head of the bed, but he saw that the sword was still rusty and rusty, as if it was about to decay, but he couldn't forget the scene of the sword last night.
As soon as the sword rises, the mountains and rivers change color, and the ghosts are like a slash!
......
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the first month, and it was about to be the day of the opening of the Zhulu Academy, but Qiao Chenan still did not condense his spiritual power in the dantian, but he was not in a hurry, the cultivation should go slowly, go with the flow, if you blindly force it, and only care about the courage and diligence, it will be counterproductive.
"Xiao An, what else is missing?"
The mother was busy in the house, muttering, "All the clothes are here, and there are some daily necessities and food, is there anything missing?"
In front of her, there was a stuffed package, and next to it was a light cyan bamboo basket containing the books he usually used.
"It's enough, mother, don't put it in there......"
Qiao Chenan looked at the two big guys on the ground and smiled bitterly, he was just going to Hangzhou to study, the distance was not very far, where did he use all these things?
It was as if he was going to go far away.
"It's always good to get more things when you're away from home, but what if you can use them......?"
His mother tidied up everything for him, and suddenly remembered something, took out an oil-paper umbrella from the next room and stuffed it into the bamboo pipe, and then smiled: "It's a rainy day in Hangzhou, take an umbrella!"
Qiao Chenan nodded helplessly, and Wu Qiuyue on the side looked at him and covered his mouth and snickered, but he glared back, and the latter immediately lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.
Wu Qiuyue is a soul body, which ordinary people can't see, and the reason why he himself can see her is also because the heart of heaven is wide open and the yin god is condensed.
In the afternoon, Qiao Chenan picked up the bamboo flute, wrapped it, and prepared to go on the road, but his parents kept sending him outside the door, still unwilling to go back.
"Xiao An, I go to school outside, your father and I are not by your side, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Remember to dress up when it's cold, eat well, and don't starve yourself......" Mother told her over and over again, her eyes a little red.
Father is an honest man, he won't say anything sensational, just said: "Chen'an, if you are bullied somewhere, come back and tell your father, I will be angry for you, you know?"
Seeing the second elder like this, Qiao Chen'an's eyes were slightly wet, and his heart was full of emotion, no wonder the ancients were most afraid of parting, this kind of taste is really uncomfortable, how can any parents not worry about it, remember?
"Father, mother, go back quickly, it's windy outside, don't freeze your body......"
Qiao Chen'an said goodbye to his parents, went east to Qiantang City, and walked to the alley of Li Gongfu's house, and sure enough, he saw Xu Xian, who was dressed in thick clothes, was already waiting there, and saw himself from afar, waving his hand and shouting: "Chen'an, here!"
When Qiao Chenan saw that the luggage behind him was almost half more than his own, he almost laughed, and walked in front of Xu Xian with a smile, and said with a strange face: "Are you moving here?"
Xu Xian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Chen'an, don't make fun of me anymore, it's not my sister, she has to let me bring so many things......"
"Your sister is also a good intention, let's go!"
Qiao Chenan smiled, casually glanced into the alley, but saw a young woman in green clothes and a bride's bun looking here, with his eyesight, he could see the woman's appearance clearly, with good facial features, fair complexion, although not a beauty, but not ugly.
I'm afraid it's Xu Xian's sister Xu Jiaorong.
Although Xu Xian's grades are not as good as his, he can only be ranked in the middle and lower streams, but the academy he studied in this time is in the same city of Hangzhou, which is a private school.
It's just that after walking for nearly an hour, Xu Xian rested three times halfway, tired and sweaty, panting like a cow, and Qiao Chen'an, who was watching it, was speechless for a while.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Xu Xian, the overall situation of scholars in this era is like this, studying hard at home all day long, just looking forward to 'ten years of cold window, one high school', to become the person on that person, but in the end, there are very few people who can really read and read.
The four bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not divided, these scholars are naturally very weak, where do they get half of their excess strength? Not to mention that Xu Xian also carried such a lot of things, it was already rare to lie down without being tired.
Qiao Chenan had to share some of his luggage for him, Xu Xian was naturally very grateful, even so, until it was dark, the two of them were only six or seven miles out of Qiantang, and the speed of the journey was pitiful.
At the end of the month, how could the white jade plate show a little face, the night was lonely, and the official road was pitch black, if it weren't for the stars in the sky, I was afraid that it would be black and I couldn't even see my hands and feet.
On the official road, Xu Xian wiped the sweat from his head and said, "This time I dragged you down Chen'an." ”
It's just that after walking for nearly an hour, Xu Xian rested twice halfway, tired and sweaty, panting like a cow, and Qiao Chen'an, who was watching it, was speechless for a while.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Xu Xian, the overall situation of scholars in this era is like this, studying hard at home all day long, just looking forward to 'ten years of cold window, one high school', to become the person on that person, but in the end, there are very few people who can really read and read.

On the official road, Xu Xian wiped the sweat from his head and said, "This time I dragged you down Chen'an." ”
Qiao Chen'an opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of white steam, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, hold on for a while, there is a ferry not far away, we can go there to rest tonight, if we are lucky, we may be able to find a boat to hurry." ”
"In that case, let's go quickly, get to the ferry early, and rest early!"
The two of them sped up their steps, bathed in the starlight, and within a quarter of an hour, they felt a gust of cold wind with a trace of water vapor rushing towards them, Qiao Chenan saw a small ferry from a distance, and the big flag was waving in the wind, shining with a few shimmers.
The surface of the river exudes a faint silver glow, like the Milky Way, and there are more than a dozen boats of all sizes parked on the bank, it is late at night, but there is still a large ship carrying goods.
Since Qiao Chen'an often suffers from eye pain, his eyesight has been greatly improved, even a small thing far away can see clearly, in addition, he can see things at night, and see things is no different from day.
Finally came to the shore, Xu Xian was almost out of strength, Qiao Chenan found the only big boat with lights on, found the person in charge, and said, "May I ask this big brother, where are you going on this trip?"
The steward was a middle-aged man in his forties, and after looking at him a few times, his face suddenly showed a somewhat solemn expression, and said, "May I ask if Your Excellency is Qiao Chen'an Qiao's son?"
Qiao Chenan sighed lightly and said in surprise: "What, you know me?"
Seeing him admit his identity, Steward Liu hurriedly saluted and said, "I once saw Gongzi from afar in the bazaar, so I have some memories, but I am afraid that I will remember it wrongly, so I dare not recognize each other for a while, and I hope that Gongzi Qiao will not be surprised." ”
"Where is Brother Liu?"
Qiao Chenan glanced at Xu Xian beside him, and they all saw doubts in the other party's eyes, even if the other party knew him, it didn't seem necessary to be so polite, right?
But at this time, he didn't care about it, and asked, "I don't know where Brother Liu's ship is going, and when will it leave?"
Steward Liu replied: "I loaded some goods and was about to be shipped to Lin'an for sale, and I will set off early tomorrow morning, so I loaded them overnight." ”
Hearing this, both of them showed joy on their faces, and Xu Xian couldn't help but say: "The two of us are preparing to go to Hangzhou to study, and we are already sleepy and tired when we have traveled so far, I wonder if Steward Liu can give us a ride?"
Steward Liu said happily: "How can such a major event as going to school be delayed, hurry up and get on the boat!" As he spoke, he beckoned the two boatmen to take over their luggage and let them get on the boat all the way.
When a few people arrived on the boat, Steward Liu said, "The two sons will come later, I will come when I go!"
Then he turned and walked towards the distant cabin, and in a few breaths he was gone.
Just now, he was only looking for a place to stay, but now that he got on the boat, Xu Xian couldn't help but be a little suspicious, looked left and right, and said worriedly: "Chen An, is this Liu Steward too good for us!
Qiao Chenan said: "You and I are just two poor scholars, what is there worth thinking about?
Look up, the stars get brighter.
