Chapter 371

Shi Zimiao saw this phenomenon that the two men gradually went to extremes, but did not stop them. As for the reason, Shi Zimiao probably had some speculations in her heart.

The words left by Zhang Daoling are totally forty-nine. During the day, you will find that each word seems to be an independent individual. The metaphor was made before, like mountains, and any one is enough to make people travel for countless days. This is why, at that time, Sun Quan just saw an incoherent fragment, which made him obsessed with it for several hours and unable to extricate himself. Because what he stared at was always a certain word, not a sentence that was coherent in the whole.

In comparison, the text at night is a bit more hazy and the unclear words between the words make them more like a whole. At this time, people's hearts will be calmer and it is not easy to fall into the Taoist meaning completely.

To give an analogy, it is like a student listening to a class. In the morning, the teacher talks very vividly and interestingly, and you don’t need to do anything at all, so you naturally follow the teacher’s rhythm. But in the evening, you are asked to study and give you boring exercises to do it yourself. In this way, you must have enough perseverance, sufficient self-consciousness, and a certain interest and thinking alone. In this way, you can truly learn from it.

Shangguan Di is young and curious, and prefers the teacher's lectures during the day, which is too normal. But in contrast, the teacher's lectures during the day are too vivid and there is no chance to think alone. Therefore, Zhang Jiao, a senior at that time, wanted to find a path of growth that suits him, so he could only bypass the day and choose the evening self-study time to think about it. In the end, Zhang Jiao found a set of learning ideas, specifically targeting the exercises of this night.

Now, this learning idea has been passed on to Sun Quan. Sun Quan learned the essence of it and found that the exercises at night were simply unstoppable, which brought Sun Quan a very satisfying sense of accomplishment. In comparison, the lectures during the day are of course attractive, but they are not targeted and have not improved their grades much. For a person who pays more attention to results, Sun Quan naturally chose to continue to practice the questions.

Therefore, in Shi Zimiao's eyes, both Sun Quan and Shangguan Di's situation are very normal developments. At present, these two paths can maximize the improvement of both of them, so there is no need for Shi Zimiao to interrupt them. But over time, Shi Zimiao believes that both of them will encounter a wall.

The little girl Shangguan Di will find that she is just interested and cannot make herself grow up quickly. She must use questions to consolidate the knowledge she has learned. Sun Quan will also find that based on Zhang Jiao's learning ideas and constantly doing questions, he can only reach the level of Zhang Jiao at most. If you want to make a breakthrough, you must surpass Zhang Jiao. To surpass Zhang Jiao, the best way is to continue to study, return to school, and listen to the lessons taught by the teacher during the day. Of course, this time, you don't have to listen to any elementary and middle school knowledge anymore, you only need to listen to the courses of graduate students in college.

Of course, all of the above have a prerequisite for normal development.

On this day, Shi Zimiao suddenly stopped the two of them from practicing.

"It's New Year's Eve soon. There is a letter here. I want you to take it back to Dita Peak." Shi Zimiao ordered Shangguan Di.

The little girl was stunned. Like Sun Quan, she was addicted to cultivation every day and completely forgot about time. She solemnly accepted the letter. Although the elders' orders were difficult to disobey, the little girl still seemed very reluctant. After all, this was not to go to the nearby area to replenish some food and go back to Dita Peak. How long does it take to go there?

"Master, why don't I accompany you to spend New Year's Eve before leaving?" the little girl asked with a look of request.

"No need, just have your uncle Sun accompany me." Shi Zimiao refused decisively, "In addition, you have learned a lot during this period, and it is time to find a place to calm down and consolidate it. After returning to the mountain, you will not be allowed to come out again for at least a year!" Shi Zimiao ordered.

"Ah?" The little girl was stunned. She never expected that such a result would be.

"Why? Don't you even listen to my words?" Shi Zimiao looked stern.

The little girl was so scared that she trembled and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"Disciple obeys the order!"

After saying that, he was reluctant to leave, and the little girl had to say goodbye to the two of them here. When he turned to Sun Quan, the little girl found that Sun Quan's face was also a little unfair at this time, so she was a little confused for a moment: Master did not drive Uncle Sun away, so Uncle Sun should not be angry because of his interruption of his cultivation, right?

The intuition told her that Sun Quan and Shi Zimiao seemed to have something hidden from her, but the little girl did not dare to ask Shi Zimiao in person, and she could not find a separate opportunity to ask Sun Quan.

Helplessly, the little girl could only keep her doubts in her heart for the time being, and then leave directly after she had cleaned up.

After Shangguan Di left, only Sun Quan and Shi Zimiao were left in the entire central area. Although there seemed to be no difference between the two and the three, without such a cheerful and lively character, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be a little cold.

"How long is it before the month of Mao?" Sun Quan suddenly asked. If it really lasts for thirty years, then according to the clues left by Zuo Ci, the possibility of opening the Temple of the Battle of Mao Day on Mao Day is the greatest.

Although the ancients arranged the twelve earthly branches in the order of Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao, it makes people feel that Mao month is the fourth month of the year. In fact, when we first came to this era, Sun Quan made this common sense mistake. The ancients' Zi month was calculated from November of the first year. In this way, Mao month is the February of the new year. Shi Zimiao said that New Year's Eve is approaching, and it proved that there is not much time left for Sun Quan!

"It's less than fifty days." Shi Zimiao replied, "and there are only two Mao month and Mao day in this year. From today on, they will be on the 55th and 67th day respectively."

After listening to Shi Zimiao's words, Sun Quan was silent. Then, he said nothing, turned around and faced the stone statue in the center, and began to practice.

Shi Zimiao sighed secretly and murmured to himself,

"Although you have been in a fast state in the past six months, you will never be able to achieve enlightenment in one day or one night if you want to cultivate the mind of Taoism. Haste can't be achieved."

Shi Zimiao knew that nothing she said was useless now, so she could only let Sun Quan fight for the last one.

In this way, Sun Quan continued to practice, and Shi Zimiao seemed to be busy. Because Sun Quan always stayed at the central square, he didn't know what Shi Zimiao was busy with, but he thought he was preparing for the opening of the Temple of War.

The two of them had almost no communication for a long time. Even when it was time for dinner, Shi Zimiao did not deliberately awaken Sun Quan. However, when Sun Quan woke up every day, he found that the food had been prepared next to him. Until one day, the food around him was particularly richer than usual. Sun Quan knew that the New Year had finally arrived.

In 19 AD, the year of Guiyou in the lunar calendar, the fourth year of the Eastern Han Dynasty,

In the north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for Qingzhou, and the two sides could not conquer each other. In the end, the Han court sent envoy Zhao Qi to Guandong to make peace for the Yuan and Gongsun families, so the two armies would temporarily stop the truce. Unexpectedly, the Wei County, the base camp of Yuan Shao, suddenly changed mutiny, and joined forces with the Heishan Army under Zhang Yan to capture Yecheng, and the Wei County Prefect was beheaded. If it weren't for the Heishan Army that a traitor Tao Sheng protected Yuan Shao and the families of officials in the prefecture, Yuan Shao's camp would have almost reached the brink of collapse.

Since then, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army has walked from the dark to the open, and as a force, it has joined the battle among the princes. Its hostility to Yuan Shao, so naturally chose to alliance with another group opposite him.

Zhang Yan's work was very good. Not only in the north, they joined forces with Gongsun Zan to copy Yuan Shao's base camp; in the south, the Heishan army also joined forces with Yuan Shu, who had just suffered a loss, and jointly attacked Cao Cao. He wanted to attack Yuan Shao's camp from south to north. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao advanced to Nanyang and cut off Yuan Shu's food route. Yuan Shu, a pig teammate, ignored the alliance and hurried back to the army. Cao Cao, who took advantage of the situation, was defeated. It was fine if Yuan Shu himself was defeated, but he also cheated his teammates. The Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Yufuluo, who sent troops together, had to choose to surrender to Cao Cao.

In this battle, Yuan Shu lost his base in Nanyang County and had to retreat to the Huai River Basin. The Sun family, which had been completely integrated with Yuan Shu, could not sit idly by and watch Yuan Shu decline. Sun Quan and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben personally led troops to expel Yangzhou Governor Chen Yu and helped Yuan Shu completely control Huainan. Since then, Yuan Shu called himself the governor of Yangzhou and also took charge of Xuzhou Governor.

For a moment, the situation in the world that had already stabilized was once again turbulent with the addition of Zhang Yan of Heishan. The two brothers, the most powerful Yuan, were respectively frustrated, but Cao Cao and other princes quietly grew stronger.

Before we knew it, February arrived. This extremely ordinary month was of great significance in the eyes of Sun Quan and Shi Zimiao.

The day of Mao, the hour of Zi,

For the first time, Shi Zimiao and Sun Quan did not sleep or practice.

Shi Zimiao closed her eyes and silently felt all the changes in the world. Sun Quan also turned his eyes and glanced around, trying to find some clues.

No discovery!

Of course, on a day like today, how could Sun Quan use his skills to test it before midnight? However, not discovering it means that there is no discovery at this hour, not that there will be no discovery all day. When the Temple of War God is truly opened, who knows which hour it will be?

In this way, Sun Quan forced himself to use the skills easily. The two of them waited until sunrise, but they still found nothing.

"Go to the place where Zuo Ciliu's words are written." Shi Zimiao suddenly stood up.

Sun Quan tilted his head,

"Do I need to go with you? Or do I continue to stay here to observe? If you find any, take the long roar as a sign?"

Shi Zimiao thought about it,

"You go with me."

Sun Quan shrugged, knowing that Shi Zimiao still had some concerns about him.

"Okay. But I personally still think that the opening of the Temple of War God will inevitably cause violent vibrations, and we should be able to easily detect it anywhere nearby." Sun Quan said, "There is no movement, which means it may not be today at all."

"It's too early to draw a conclusion now." Shi Zimiao replied lightly, "If I guess correctly, the entrance to the Temple of War may need to be opened manually."

Sun Quan was stunned. He had never heard Shi Zimiao talk about this before.

"What is the basis for your guess?" (To be continued)
