In the middle of the night, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are shining, the night breeze is blowing, and in the autumn insects calling one after another, the whole lower donkey mountain falls into a deep sleep.

Gao Ting's injury was fine, and he had been asleep with Gao for a long time, but Gao Jie was like a pancake on the kang, tossing and turning, without any sleep.

This is the second day of his coming to the Ming Dynasty, in the past two days, a lot of things have happened, and now he needs to re-sort out his head, think about how to go next, and determine the direction of the future.

There are so many things, and among them, he thinks there are three main things that are most important:

First, look for Li Zicheng.

Yesterday, when he came to his senses and knew that he had traveled to the second year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, and that he was possessed by a young man in a small mountain village in Mizhi County, Yan'an Prefecture, a famous figure immediately popped up in his brain -- Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang! It was Li Zicheng, the great rebel who single-handedly destroyed the Ming Dynasty, forced Chongzhen to death, and was highly respected by Mao ~ Ze ~ Dong.

Gao Jie began to suspect that Li Hongji was Li Zicheng, because he remembered very well that Li Zicheng seemed to have a nephew named Li Guo, who was a famous general in the rebel army. And Li Zicheng was born in a village in this famous Mizhi County.

But after a day, Gao Jie slowly denied his speculation. Because the appearance of Li Zicheng recorded in the history books is "a person with high cheeks and deep cheeks, eyes and nose, and a voice like a jackal", that is, a person with a tall horse, prominent cheekbones, deep eye sockets, a straight nose bridge, and a loud voice, Li Hongji's only point that conforms to this physical characteristics is that he is tall and big, although he is slightly shorter than Gao Jie, but among the people of the Ming Dynasty at that time, he can be regarded as a tall man, but how can Li Hongji, who has a fat head and big ears, have high cheekbones? How can he have deep eye sockets? How can he have a high nose bridge? It is completely a bull's head and a horse's mouth! Not to mention "his voice is like a jackal", he should be called if he is soft-spoken. Sound like a mosquito" is!

Since Li Hongji has been excluded, the search for Li Zicheng has to continue.

So Gao Jie decided to immediately improve the strength of Li Hongji's uncle and nephew, so that they could have the confidence and strength to participate in the Li family competition in Li Jiqian Village, or even the 20-year competition of the Li clan in Mizhi County a year later, because according to his judgment, Li Zicheng is likely to be in Li Jiqian Village or the Li clan in Mizhi County.

If he can make friends with this controversial big man in this troubled world, it will be in vain to travel through such a trip.

Second, should I go out of the mountains and step onto a bigger stage?

Just yesterday, he thought that he was just crossing a poor boy in a poor ravine, and that it was enough to live this life in peace as long as he could accompany his family and occasionally improve the living conditions of his family with his own ability. Because he knows that he has no platform, and he does not have the ability to expect greater development.

But just this morning, in Yongfeng Mountain, his life has changed, so that his starting point and ability have been greatly improved, now he is no longer the poor and incapable little hunter, but has the possibility of becoming the leader of the first major sect in the Ming Dynasty, so his goal in this life has naturally changed, he wants to get out of the mountains and become a tide maker in this troubled world!

Of course, he can't be arrogant, many peerless geniuses in history died early, these are profound lessons, he doesn't want to become someone else's pot before it sprouts. Therefore, at present, he should keep his head and accumulate strength, and he must not be rash.

Of course, you can't keep a low profile, because you're afraid you'll miss a fleeting opportunity.

Therefore, he must grasp this degree, let himself safely and smoothly ascend to the big stage of history, display his ambitions, and be proud of the world.

Fortunately, his fifteen-year-old body is inhabited by a soul in his forties, and it is a soul from the twenty-first century, and I believe that whether it is experience or advanced consciousness, it will make him one step ahead of others and have more chances of winning.

Third, improve your strength as soon as possible.

Xiao Gaojie was originally a child of the Orion family, he had never gone to school, nor had he practiced martial arts, so it stands to reason that his life is the life of nesting in this ravine.

However, when Gao Jie came, he not only brought advanced ideas and knowledge from later generations, but also met Xu Hongru and Master Jingkong at Yongfeng Mountain, which completely changed his fate. And he also obtained the holy relics of the White Lotus Sect, and it is very likely that he will practice the peerless magic skills of Tang Sai'er, the "Mother of Buddha" in the early Ming Dynasty.

Gao Jie has excellent qualifications such as super memory, comprehension, concentration, keen hearing, and ear power, and believes that no matter what he learns, he will be several times faster than ordinary people.

In order to dominate the world as soon as possible, we must improve our strength as soon as possible.

"In the future, I will go up to Yongfeng Mountain every other day to find the master to learn the arts, and at the same time work hard to ponder the exercises in the "White Lotus Treasure Scroll", hoping to gain something......

Thinking of this, Gao Jie couldn't lie down any longer, turned over and got off the kang, and took out a package from the broken cabinet in his room.

He opened the package, and in addition to the blanket containing the White Lotus Sect holy relics handed over to him by Xu Hongru, there were also three knives wrapped in rotten cloth.

These three knives were the swords of the three slain Jinyi guards, the embroidered spring knife. Before he took his father down the mountain, Master Jingkong handed it over to him.

Because the material of the embroidered spring knife is better than that of the swords and weapons used by ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, it is a standard weapon produced by the regular royal weapons factory, which is very rare, so the clear space master let Gao Jie take it away, and find an opportunity to find a better blacksmith to melt these three embroidered spring knives to create their own weapons and enhance their strength.

Skipping the embroidered spring knife, Gao Jie directly took out the sandalwood box and took out the silver-covered "White Lotus Treasure Scroll" from it.

He took the book, sat back on the kang, opened the cover of the treasure scroll, and began to study the dense ancient seals inside.

The ancient seal characters are very difficult to recognize, much more difficult than translating foreign languages, and the content in this treasure scroll is extremely profound, Rao is Gao Jie, as a college student in archaeology in later generations, also feels that progress is slow.

By the time of the fourth watch, Gao Jie could barely understand two pages. However, just these two pages also made Gao Jie feel extremely shocked and surprised.

As expected, what is recorded in the "White Lotus Treasure Scroll" is the divine skill of "White Lotus Nine Lives", and the missing pages in the front are exactly what the mysterious old man in his previous life taught Gao Jie!

In the dark, could it be that the heavens have long been decided?!

Gao Jie settled down and began the process of comprehension.

The back of the silver cover of "White Lotus Treasure Scroll" is engraved: "White Lotus Nine Lives, Ten Thousand Laws at Your Will!" One Life Heart, Two Life Enlightenment, Three Life Enlightenment, Four Life Illusion, Five Life Springs, Six Life Control, Seven Life Police, Eight Life Longevity, Nine Business." Once the miracle is done, a thought comes true. ”

It is said that there are nine layers of exercises in the "White Lotus Nine Lives", and what is missing in this volume is the most basic cultivation method of the first three layers of primary stage.

Gao Jie said secretly: "No wonder Wang Sen and Xu Hongru master and apprentice got the "White Lotus Treasure Scroll" but couldn't cultivate, no wonder no one has been able to practice magic since the "Buddha Mother" Tang Sai'er, and no wonder they have practiced the strongest brain!"

The first three layers of exercises belong to the primary introductory stage, and the main method is to use acupuncture to stimulate the various acupuncture points of people's heads like Gao Jie taught Li Hongji and Li Guo in the afternoon, and at the same time, luck guards back and forth, and opens the acupoints.

Successful cultivation of the first level of consciousness can enhance memory and concentration; successful cultivation of the second level of consciousness can improve the ability to comprehend techniques and speed up learning; and successful cultivation of the third level can enhance the ability to see and hear and enhance perception.

In Gao Jie's previous life, under the torture of that mysterious old man, it was his cultivation that completed these three layers, so in addition to memory and comprehension, his perception abilities such as vision, hearing, and smell are far beyond ordinary people.

And from the fourth layer, it is the intermediate stage of the "White Lotus Nine Lives" exercise. What Gao Jie had just worked so hard to translate was the cultivation method and mantra of the fourth layer.

According to the treasure scroll, after practicing the four-layer exercises, you can influence the consciousness of others through your mind, causing them to hallucinate, similar to the hypnotism of later generations, but the effect is not the same.

Because it is an intermediate-level exercise, the difficulty and conditions of cultivation have greatly increased, and it is no longer possible to use simple and crude methods like the first three layers to cultivate, but to enter the cultivation state when experiencing the extreme emotions of great joy, great sorrow, and great anger, and practice according to the mantra, so that it is possible to successfully break through.

Gao Jie secretly thought: It is not difficult to be happy, because this is a positive and positive state of mind, after confirming that what he learned in his previous life is the same kind of exercise as "White Lotus Nine Lives", he now seems to be in a state of great joy.

However, the great compassion and anger that the fifth and sixth lives have to experience is very difficult. First of all, both of these are negative emotions, and something bad must happen to Gao Jie himself or someone close to him to make him have such emotions. Moreover, who knows to what extent this "greatness" of great sorrow and anger must be considered great? You can't create trouble by yourself for the sake of practicing! That is not practicing, it is masochism!

"Forget it, what do you want to do so much, just be at ease with what happens, let's try to see if you can successfully cultivate the Four Lives Illusion first!"

So, Gao Jie sat cross-legged on the kang, concentrating and calming his breath, silently transporting the qi of the dantian, and according to the mantra of the fourth layer of the treasure scroll "Four Illusions", he began to cultivate according to the law.

With a high-pitched rooster crow, the sky began to slowly brighten, Gao had already gotten up, began to feed the chickens and dogs in the yard, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Gao Jie also slowly opened his eyes at this time, and felt a faint loss in his heart.

He thought that he was in a state of "great joy" and should be able to break through the fourth layer in one fell swoop, but who knew that the result disappointed him a little, and he felt that he was still a lot worse than the breakthrough.

However, this cultivation was not completely fruitless. Gao Jie vaguely felt that he could use his mind to influence something. This shows that every time you go through the cultivation of the "Great Joy" state, you will improve the fourth level of the exercises.

And the degree of cultivation of the Four Beings Illusion is directly related to how much ability it can affect and how long it can influence.

The more powerful the person you can influence, the more you can restrain the enemy, and the longer the enemy is affected, you will have enough time to defeat the opponent or flee.

In addition, Gao Jie also found that as he began to practice the intermediate exercises of "White Lotus Nine Lives", the power of the primary exercises he had mastered had been strengthened, that is to say, his memory, concentration, comprehension and various perceptual abilities had improved a little, and he had not slept all night, and he did not feel the slightest tiredness.

Gao Jie thought to himself: "From this point of view, this "White Lotus Nine Lives" is actually a kind of exercise to develop the unknown abilities of the brain, and he is equivalent to a mental worker in later generations, which is completely different from the path taken by other people in the martial arts. It's just that I don't know if I can stand at the top of martial arts after I have achieved great achievements?"

Gao Jie, who was originally a little disappointed because he failed to succeed in his cultivation, is now beginning to become contented and happy. In a better mood and a pause in playfulness, he rolled over and got out of bed, first packed up the package, put it back in the cupboard, and then walked out of the room and into the courtyard.

Facing the rising sun and the red glow in the sky, Gao Jie took a breath of fresh air that was difficult to smell in the future, and simply moved his body, which had been a little numb after meditating for too long.

Then he turned his gaze to the hound, the black hair, and began to laugh maliciously.

After Hei Mao followed Gao Jie and them down from Yongfeng Mountain, because the owner was injured, it has been sullen, and since yesterday afternoon, it has been shrinking in the kennel and not coming out, not even eating.

Early this morning, the black fur came out of the kennel, lying in the yard, with its head on its front paws listless.

Just now, Gao put the half of the hare that Gao Jie hunted yesterday in its food bowl, but it still only glanced at it, and continued to lie in the courtyard and be alone and depressed.

Suddenly, Hei Mao's eyes blurred for a while, and then he saw his master Gao Ting coming over, patting its head gently, and saying to it something it could understand: "Hei Mao, I'm fine, you have to eat quickly, otherwise you won't have the strength to accompany me up the mountain to hunt!"

Hearing this, the black hair suddenly rejoiced, "Wangwang" excitedly screamed at Gao Ting a few times, and then quickly ran to the food bowl, swallowed the half of the hare into the stomach in a few bites, it licked its mouth, turned back to Gao Ting and barked happily twice, indicating that he was full and could go up the mountain to chase prey.

However, there was another trance, and I saw Gao Ting's shadow swaying and slowly disappearing. Hei Mao looked at it, and Gao Jie was the only one in the courtyard, and he was still smiling at it.

It's just that the expression on his face, even the black hair, feels that Gao Jie looks like a conspiracy at this time, and he doesn't look like a good person.
