Who was that face just now?

Is it the 'Ji Zi' those students call him, or is he himself?

Or is it just a face that may have some resemblance in the vast years?

"Um..."

Sitting cross-legged between the beds, Ji Qiu pondered carefully.

He felt the slowly flowing warmth in his body and carefully manipulated the energy contained in it.

Literary spirit.

It is different from the spiritual energy that the Qi Refiner uses to inhale the heaven and earth to introduce the Dantian. It is a completely different kind of extraordinary power.

This is a kind of power that originated from the birth of the spirit. If the Qi Refiner eats the wind and drinks the dew, it is in order to attribute great power to himself, so as to achieve the power of calling wind and rain.

Then the literary spirit refined by literary Dao is a kind of great power that can affect reality from the inside out, born from the light of your soul.

Making the possible out of the impossible is a miracle in itself.

There is no distinction between the two systems of practice, even martial arts.

Because Qi Refiners can only have the opportunity to practice if they are destined to have a spiritual body, and the entry requirements are difficult, so the quality of the spiritual energy they control is higher, and they can surpass the so-called martial arts innates during the Qi Refining period.

But practicing martial arts to a state of perfection is not weaker than other ways of cultivation.

Just like Lin Yufu, a martial arts legend from Daqian who single-handedly suppressed the entire world and even killed an immortal master with his sword.

And as far as Ji Qiu knew.

In this Great Yan Dynasty, there was a higher realm than the innate martial arts.

That is the Vajra state where Qi and blood condense into wolf smoke, spreading the true Qi all over the limbs and bones, and breaking through the thirty-six major acupoints all over the body!

In this Great Yan Dynasty, there was no such thing as an innate master.

Anyone who has not reached the second level of martial arts, King Kong, who dares to brazenly call himself a master outside will probably have his face smashed!

"Forget it, I don't want to anymore."

"For me, thinking about this kind of problem is of no use at the moment."

"Tomorrow, when I study the Five Classics again by tracing their origins, I will naturally be able to do better research. The most urgent task right now is to practice cultivation."

Familiar with this strand of literary spirit, Ji Qiu thought about it in various ways, but in the end did not come up with any results.

In the end, I simply stopped thinking about it.

After all, it is not the top priority right now. Now that he has already started learning Confucianism, Taoism and Martial Arts, he only needs to improve his practice of the Sutra of Transcendence, and he is a genuine fellow practitioner of the Three Realms!

You must know that in Ji Qiu's simulation, in the end, he relied on his fellow practitioners from the Three Realms and what he had learned, and gathered Huang Tian's momentum into his own body, and was able to defeat half of the Taoist cultivators in the world.

If the Vajra Martial Body hadn't been flawless and someone found a flaw, I'm afraid he would have been able to drag his breath and completely slaughter the dragon veins of the Great Yan Dynasty and replace the sky with Huang Tian.

Therefore, we can see how powerful it is.

But now these things are in the past, and everything has to start from scratch.

But fortunately, the rising sun will always be stronger than the afterglow of the ending.

The road is long and far away, I will search up and down.

The cross-legged young man closed his eyes and began this lifetime of Qi refining practice.

[Age 16: You join a great Confucian sect in Yanjing and practice Confucianism and Taoism with him. At the same time, you have not fallen behind in your martial arts practice.

Under the guidance of this great scholar in the literary world, you received the inheritance of the Five Classics. Through chance encounters, you observed the true meaning of the Five Classics and entered the threshold of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

You started with the "Spring and Autumn" step by step, and achieved the first level of literature and art, cultivating Qi, and developing Qi in one day. Such legendary deeds can only be accomplished by those ancient scholars. If others knew about it, it would shock the whole of Tai'an.

You are not satisfied with just getting started with literature and art. At the same time, you have picked up the Qi refining inheritance gained in your previous life and decided to practice together in the three realms, with very good results.

Your future begins to change from here.】

...

In this way, Ji Qiu practiced peacefully for a period of time.

During this period, Ji Qiu's teacher Zheng Xiu had already learned about Ji Qiu's deeds of knowing the Spring and Autumn Period and developing his literary spirit from his heart.

At that time, the elegant scribe who was stroking his jaw and reciting scriptures almost tore off his newly grown beard and was speechless for a long time.

This was enough to show the shock in his heart.

Northern Captain Cao Wu, whom he met by chance before, occasionally came to see him and introduced his friends to him.

One of them, whom he had also seen in the simulation, was Yuan Ji, a descendant of the Yuan family of the Sangong family.

It is said that this person is from the same lineage as Yuan Mu, who was so domineering before, but one is a direct descendant and the other is a common descendant.

If he hadn't met face to face, Ji Qiu probably wouldn't be able to tell who was the direct descendant and who was the concubine.

Logically speaking, as a concubine, Yuan Ji obviously does not receive higher resources and education than Yuan Mu.

But it happened that whether it was his martial arts attainments or his demeanor and self-cultivation, his concubine did better than his direct brothers.

It's like being cast into the wrong fetus.

It’s really fate that plays a trick on people.

In the first few years, Ji Qiu's general behavior was similar to that at the beginning of the simulation.

The slight difference lies in the people he knows and his own cultivation.

When Zhang Julu was sixteen, he only had innate martial arts training. As for cultivating literary spirit, it was only after traveling around the world and seeing all the suffering in the world that he achieved his great ambition, but that was already several years later.

But now Ji Qiu's progress is several years faster than that.

Not only that, his Qi refining cultivation has also reached the state of Qi condensation at this time, such as the lightning technique that he practiced in this world, which is enough to be used.

Coupled with the ability to call for wind and rain, and to spread the beans to make soldiers, he was already qualified to go and see this huge Yan Dynasty.

It was also during this time period more than half a year later.

As the capital city, Tai'an was shocked, something big happened.

That is, the emperor raised 300,000 troops and horses, and Huangfuzhen personally signed the seal to conquer Xidi, but he was blocked again!

For a moment, the whole world was in an uproar!

Taixue Palace.

Zheng Xiu was in a study, teaching Ji Qiu and other disciples who entered the room.

But at this moment, a Confucian scholar in green clothes hurriedly broke in.

"Mr. Zheng, something big has happened!"

Looking at the scribes in green shirts who were dressed in dusty clothes who came in outside, Ji Qiu put down the scriptures in his hands and raised his eyebrows without any trace.

In the past six months, he has been practicing in the Taixue Palace, and all his fellow practitioners in the three paths have made extraordinary progress.

Especially in the line of literature and Taoism, the five classics of "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" were all studied by Ji Qiu at this time.

At present, the attainments of his fellow practitioners of the Five Classics have far surpassed those of these classmates. It is not an exaggeration to say that at this time, Ji Qiu has become well versed in literature. He is very close to gathering a literary heart and becoming a great Confucian.

If this spreads out, the whole world will probably be shocked.

He is just a young man who is only sixteen years old, almost seventeen years old. How many great scholars in the past and present have achieved success at this age?

Of course, most of the factors are due to the method of tracing the origin. Otherwise, even if Ji Qiu is a scholar of heaven and man, he would not be able to understand the mysteries of the Five Classics, let alone introduce this authentic level of inheritance.

It's just a bit regretful that since the first time he traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, and every subsequent practice, he has never seen the true face of the master named "Ji Zi" again.

Just like at the beginning, the face was obscured by the fog and could not be seen clearly, which made Ji Qiu lose his desire to seek verification.

In addition to the Spring and Autumn Annals, the other four classics of poetry, books, rituals, and changes were all deduced by four different Confucian and Taoist masters, and they are all different from the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Therefore, Ji Qiu's previous ideas naturally came to an end.

But that's not the point.

The young man put down the scripture in his hand and looked at Lu Zhi, who was hurriedly approaching. His expression was not surprising, as if he already knew what the man in front of him wanted to say.

as expected.

When Zheng Xiu frowned, put down his homework and asked, Lu Zhi then revealed the purpose of coming:

"Three expeditions were made to Xidi, but they were all turned back."

"Huangfu envoy led his soldiers and horses to station in the western border. Since his Majesty issued the edict more than half a year ago, he immediately set out to march westward. Unfortunately, this time he returned without success due to reasons such as the heavy supply of food, grass and baggage."

"Since then, I am afraid that the first two defeats will all fall on him. I have heard that His Majesty is furious in the palace and has hidden thoughts of punishing him."

In this study, the current disciples of Zheng Xiu's sect are only Ji Qiu and a few classmates. Lu Zhi has also seen it. In addition, the matter will be spread in the near future, so he did not cover it up.

After Zheng Xiu heard this, he put down the scripture in his hand and frowned slightly:

"Huangfu Shijun is a military noble, a talented general, and has practiced the Vajra Realm. Coupled with the skills of military formations and formations, the soldiers under his command are like wolves and tigers. Each one is as good as ten. Why can't he defeat Xidi?

?”

"Besides, it only lasts for more than half a year. Even if it can't be broken, it means that it has no merit and no fault. How can we talk about punishing it?"

Hearing the doubtful remarks of the gray-shirted scribe, Lu Zhi was filled with emotion and just sighed:

"Logically speaking, this should be the case."

"But the supply of food and grass is out of supply!"

"After more than half a year, coupled with the second expedition to Xidi in recent years, the suppression of Qiang and Yi in the north, and the aggressive military campaign, the country suffered serious losses. It should have been recuperating for a while before thinking of launching an army again."

"This forced troop movement was hit by a sudden natural disaster and severe drought, and it was difficult to keep up with the food, grass and baggage. Huangfu had no choice but to retreat back to the country."

"This should be a common thing, but the eunuchs in the palace are in power, and the emperor only listens to the results, and is already angry. It is said that he will be prosecuted soon, so I came here this time to express my gratitude to the emperor and clarify the truth with you and many comrades.

, hoping to get a lighter sentence.”

“What about the general will?”

In response to Lu Zhi's inquiry, Zheng Xiu nodded without much hesitation.

They were both great Confucian scholars and had intensively cultivated the world's inscriptions together. He and Lu Zhi were very good personal tutors. As for Huangfu Zhen, a famous general in the world, he also had some friendship.

He is a master of military affairs and one of the few generals in the Great Yan Dynasty who acts upright and has his own ethics.

It's natural to perform for him.

Next, Ji Qiu watched the brief exchange between Zheng Xiu and Lu Zhi, his expression unchanged.

But in fact, he already knew that the time had come for the world to change drastically.

The transformation of the Yan Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and then to a complete end, was kicked off by Huangfu's true return to the court in this year.

Do you expect the current emperor to take care of these things?

Looking at the two great scholars of the time who were having a private conversation, Ji Qiu shook his head regretfully.

If he could really take on the throne in this life, how could he bring the family and the world into such a situation?
