Dunhuang, garrison general's mansion.

Fan Yunchao asked with some surprise: "Is that Li Mao really saying that?"

Mr. Huang Qian hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, Li Mao did say so, and the lower officials did not change a word. ”

Fan Yunchao sighed: "I thought he was just a brave outcast, but I didn't expect him to have such knowledge, it's a pity!"

Huang Qian always asked with some doubts: "My lord, the Western Regions and Mengyuan have not attacked Dunhuang Mansion in a big way for more than 30 years, will they come this year?"

Fan Yunchao glanced at him and said, "You don't grow up, you usually only know how to boil your body and improve your strength, don't you know how to read a few more military books?

Huang Qian always said with some grievances: "Oh, what the adults teach me is, but my humble family has been poor since I was a child, and my family has no money for me to go to school, so I came to be a soldier, and I can't read a basket of big characters, how do you let me read the military book?"

Fan Yunchao said with a look of hatred on his face: "If you don't know how to read, can't you choose a person who can read and write?" When you have time, let him read you a book on the military, and it's better to have a deaf voice than not to know anything!"

No, this method is neither a symptom nor a root cause, I have to treat you well.

From today onwards, you must recognize twenty words a day, and in two months, the official will personally assess you, if you still can't recognize a thousand words by then, just let me go to the infantry camp to start as a small soldier, get out of here!"

Huang Qian always retired with a sad face, not knowing how he was going to solve the problem of literacy.

Li Mao took Xu Ai around the street in front of Xianyi Building, immediately called a carriage, and quickly rushed home.

Xu Ai said, "Brother Li, why do you want to rush back so quickly?"

Li Mao said with some excitement: "Xiao Ai, among the antiques I bought today, there is a bronze that is very different from the others, just now the time is short, I am not easy to identify carefully, I am afraid that the shopkeeper will sit on the ground and start the price."

At this point, they should pack up their things and start delivering them to your house, and we need to hurry back and make sure that this batch of bronzes arrives safely. ”

Xu Ai's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Li, the special piece you are talking about is the bronze incense burner?"

This time, Li Mao was surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Ai, how did you know? Didn't I hide my expression just now?

Xu Ai shook his head and said, "Brother Li, when I went upstairs just now, I also felt that the bronze incense burner was different from other bronzes, there was a peaceful and mysterious power lingering on the incense burner, although I couldn't see their existence, but I could feel it." ”

Li Mao looked at Xu Ai in disbelief and said, "Xiao Ai, do you have the potential to cultivate? Otherwise, how can you, an ordinary person, feel the aura on the bronze artifact?"

Xu Ai was a little dazed and said, "What kind of cultivation potential? I don't know, I haven't even learned martial arts, it's all based on feelings." ”

Li Mao can't use the power of True Yuan now, so he can't find out if Xu Ai really has the potential to cultivate.

As Li Mao woke up, his memory began to partially recover, and he could recall some cultivation-related things, including refining qigong, but no matter how many times he tried, he still couldn't re-follow the path of cultivation, and sometimes he wondered if he had taken his dreams as reality.

Now that Li Mao saw that Xu Ai was likely to have the potential to cultivate, he naturally wanted Xu Ai to try cultivation in order to prove that he was not dreaming.

After Li Mao's patient explanation, Xu Ai finally agreed to try Li Mao's qigong practice.

Li Mao first taught Xu Ai the most basic qi practice formula, and pointed out to her the conventional knowledge of cultivating the true yuan qi, meridians, dantian, and sea knowledge.

The content is not very much, Xu Ai is very smart, in just a quarter of an hour on the way home in the carriage, Xu Ai has already mastered the beginner Qi cultivation method, but the carriage has arrived in front of the Xu Family Chamber of Commerce at this time, Xu Ai has no time to try.

Xianyilou's carriage arrived at the time of a cup of tea earlier than Li Mao, but fortunately, Xu Jiu trusted Li Mao very much, and recognized that the person who came was Xianyilou's buddy, so without saying a word, he paid the silver and kept the seven bronzes that were not of great value.

As soon as Li Mao and Xu Ai entered the back hall, they saw seven bronzes on the table, Li Mao hurriedly stepped forward to greet Xu Jiu, briefly explained to him, and took the bronze incense burner.

Xu Ai followed Li Mao's ass and went to the wing where Li Mao lived, and she also wanted to know what was the mystery in the bronze incense burner and why she had a feeling.

Xu Jiu looked at the figures of the two leaving with a smile, and then Mrs. Xu quietly walked behind Xu Jiu, and said with some worry: "Master, you see that Xiao Ai follows Li Mao all day long, isn't this appropriate? She will be sixteen years old next year, if this matter spreads, how will she marry in the future?"

Xu Jiu said with a smile: "Madam, we are such a precious daughter, we must choose a satisfactory husband for her! So her husband must be kind-hearted and capable, and she must look at it herself, otherwise we will not be at ease when so much of our family wealth is in her hands." ”

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Master, you won't fall in love with Li Maoxian's nephew, will you?"

Xu Jiu turned sideways, put his arm on his wife's shoulder, and said, "Mrs. Li Xian's nephew has outstanding character and strong martial arts, I think he is a good match for Ai'er, and the key is that Ai'er also seems to like Li Mao." ”

Mrs. Xu said a little reluctantly: "But after all, his origin is not clear, and he is a reckless martial artist, I am afraid that Ai'er will suffer in the future." ”

Xu Jiu shook his head and said: "Madam, you may not have had good contact with Li Xian's nephew, he is not a reckless martial artist, he is far above his husband in terms of knowledge and knowledge, and he is definitely an all-round talent."

Although he is a little older, he is generous, tolerant, and has the demeanor of an elder, and if Ai'er can marry him, he will definitely live happily in the future. ”

Mrs. Xu's face was a little better and said, "Master, you have always come to see people very accurately, and I will be relieved when you say this." I don't know if Li Xian's nephew still has relatives in the world? If not, it would be good for him to join our Xu family. ”

Xu Jiu immediately made a silent gesture and whispered, "Madam, don't say anything like this in the future." Li Xian's nephew has amazing abilities, and he has no place to ask us, how can he easily enter our family, as long as he can be good to Ai'er for the rest of his life, what if this huge family business is given to him?"

Mrs. Xu was silent for a long time, and she didn't know which piece of soft flesh in her heart was touched, and she began to sob, as if her daughter was going to get married tomorrow.

Xu Jiu hurriedly pulled his wife and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become sad? Ai'er's marriage hasn't been mentioned yet, and Li Xian's nephew is afraid that he hasn't had this mind yet, so you started crying first." Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll help you back to your room to rest. ”

Xu Jiu and his wife helped each other back to the room, but they seemed to be a few years older suddenly.

Li Mao fiddled with the bronze incense burner in the room for a long time, but the incense burner did not respond, he knew that he did not have the power of true yuan, and he could not stimulate the bronze incense burner, so he had to give up.

Xu Ai took the bronze incense burner over to study, but naturally there was no reaction.

Li Mao said: "Xiao Ai, why don't you try to practice the exercises I taught you here and see if you can stimulate this incense burner?"

"Good. Xu Ai sat cross-legged on the bed, placed the bronze incense burner in front of him, and began to meditate according to the mantra of Li Mao, looking for qi.

Although Li Mao himself could not condense the power of the true yuan, his cultivation knowledge was still there, and under his guidance, Xu Ai soon entered a meditative state.

After summoning the qi sensation several times in a row, a faint aura was inhaled into Xu Ai's body, and it quickly entered the dantian along the meridians, turning into a trace of almost undetectable true yuan power.

Li Mao looked at Xu Ai with some surprise, when he found that Xu Ai could sense the bronze incense burner, he guessed that Xu Ai should have a certain cultivation potential, but he didn't expect Xu Ai to find the qi sense so quickly, and transform a trace of true yuan power, such a cultivation qualification is absolutely extraordinary.

Li Mao immediately let go of his curiosity about the incense burner and began to guide Xu Ai wholeheartedly to run the mental method, and sure enough, more aura was inhaled into Xu Ai's body, and all of it was merged into the dantian, although the number was still very small, but it was not as weak as just now, and a little spark appeared in the dantian.

Xu Ai's first cultivation actually lasted for more than an hour, and only after the little spark in the dantian was stable at the size of a sesame seed, no longer bright and dark, and there was a possibility of extinguishing at any time, Xu Ai withdrew from cultivation.

After Xu Ai woke up, she felt comfortable all over, her spirit was happy, and her body was full of strength, she said happily: "Brother Li, I actually practiced, what a wonderful feeling, I feel that the whole person is a lot more powerful!"

Li Mao said with a smile: "Xiao Ai, this can only be regarded as the first step, you have to persist every day in the future, the power of the true yuan can continue to accumulate, the more the power of the true yuan, the greater your strength, the stronger the ability!"

Xu Ai was very happy: "Okay! I will insist on practicing every day in the future, Brother Li, are you practicing this kind of exercise?"

Li Mao said a little gloomily: "No, I still have some dark diseases on my body that have not been cured, and I can't cultivate the power of True Yuan yet." ”

Xu Ai sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Li, I mentioned something unhappy about you." ”

Li Mao smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiao Ai, I'll teach you a piece of exercise to use the power of the true yuan, you can use this incense burner to see if you can stimulate this incense burner." ”

Xu Ai Yiyan input the little true yuan power in his body into the incense burner, and the incense burner soon began to glow, and the broken place on the surface of the incense burner began to be repaired slowly, but the incense burner could not be opened.

When Xu Ai put the last trace of true yuan power into the incense burner, Li Mao and Xu Ai saw that there was a square space in the incense burner at the same time.

Li Mao shouted: "Xiao Ai, we have developed this time, this is a space magic weapon, a space can hold a lot of good things, now we go back to Yuezhou, don't worry about valuables can't be moved!"

Xu Ai said with a tired face: "Really! I'm so happy! Brother Li, I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while." ”

Li Mao coaxed Xu Ai to sleep, and immediately went out to find two sturdy maids to carry Xu Ai back to his room, and then hurriedly picked up the incense burner to find Xu Jiu, to tell Uncle Jiu the good news.
