But there are a few words among the ashes, the characters are gilded and the characters are Wei.
【Ping'an County】
"It turns out the secret is hidden here, not the code book."
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised, and he understood instantly.
The pamphlet given to him by the fugitive from Nanyu Mansion contains a secret and must be burned with fire.
Xu Qingxiao felt a little depressed now.
I originally planned to make a copy and give it to my contact person, but I didn’t expect that the secret lies in the original.
When the time comes, if you give the copy to someone else, and they take it back and burn it, and they find it is not the same, then wouldn’t you be unlucky?
And what secrets does Ping An County hide?
Questions appeared one after another, leaving Xu Qingxiao a little confused.
Xu Qingxiao took out the gilded characters from the basin and crushed them into pieces, turning them into light gold powder. Then she filled a basin of water and poured it into the weeds.
No matter what secret is hidden, we can only take one step at a time.
After getting another basin of water, Xu Qingxiao washed her face to wake herself up.
It's already Chen time.
Xu Qingxiao came to the desk, took out a piece of white paper, and then wrote on the paper.
This is Xu Qingxiao's habit. When things become complicated and numerous, Xu Qingxiao is used to listing things clearly, then doing them one by one and strictly executing them.
Unless something unexpected happens.
Xu Qingxiao started writing on the paper, and her brain was running rapidly.
First of all, the first thing is to improve martial arts. Confucianism and Taoism are suppressing it, so you can continue to practice different skills. You must seize the time to break through to the ninth level within three months. This is the top priority.
The second thing is to leave Pingan County and go to Nanyu Prefecture to take the prefectural examination. Regardless of passing or failing the prefectural examination, I can no longer stay in Pingan County. The place is too small and it is difficult to obtain some information.
The third thing is to investigate the real purpose of the fugitive from Nanyu Mansion and find out the truth.
As Xu Qingxiao continued to put ink on the paper, everything suddenly became clear.
It will be much more comfortable once you have it straightened out.
The three things at the moment are relatively urgent, and other things can be slowed down for the time being.
After confirming, Xu Qingxiao stood up and put down the pen casually.
Later, Xu Qingxiao started practicing in the room.
Perhaps it was because he was practicing strange arts and he didn't dare to show his face, so he didn't leave the house.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Xu Qingxiao began to practice the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique for the second time.
Perhaps it was due to the suppression by You Wen Gong and the fact that he had reached the Qi-nurturing state.
Xu Qingxiao didn't give up and started practicing directly.
The mind contemplates the golden crow, and the body transforms into the sun.
The Qi of Zhiyang poured into the body one after another. Although the Qi increased one by one, each one was better than the previous Qi.
Zhiyang Alchemy Body.
Xu Qingxiao felt the blood all over her body boiling. This feeling was very refreshing.
All the muscles, bones, skin and flesh have been tempered.
The roar of the Golden Crow also sounded in his mind.
There was an indescribable feeling, and at the same time a sense of violence came to mind.
But before this violent intention could spread, the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body was directly suppressed, like cold water meeting fire, it was doused on the spot.
At this moment, Xu Qingxiao was completely relieved.
Xu Qingxiao's physical body has a layer of pale golden light, like bathing in the morning sun. The exercise of his muscles and bones makes Xu Qingxiao's physique stronger and stronger.
If you practice the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique to the Mahayana level, you can condense the Holy Body of the Great Sun.
It is an extremely powerful physique, and every drop of blood can kill demons.
If it weren't for the side effects of the magic, I'm afraid this kind of thing would be extremely precious.
But thinking back, if there were no side effects and everyone could practice and become stronger, then people in this world would have entered the universe long ago.
Xu Qingxiao put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind.
After practicing for an hour, Xu Qingxiao's mood became smoother and her strength improved significantly, just like a person who had been hungry for several days and had a full meal.
The most important thing is that after just one hour of practice, five strands of Golden Crow energy and blood were condensed in the body.
Each golden crow's energy and blood is better than the previous ten.
In other words, one day's practice is equivalent to more than fifty times as much as before. Even in terms of mass, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a hundred times.
According to this cultivation speed, it is not difficult to reach the ninth level within three months, and it may not even take three months.
Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh at this situation.
"Extraordinary magic, eternal magic."
After practicing, Xu Qingxiao got up and wanted to find Zhou Ling.
After getting up and leaving, Xu Qingxiao glanced at the white paper on the desk. There were some things written densely on the paper. After looking at it, it was a bit late. Xu Qingxiao did not burn it, so he placed it on the table.
After Xu Qingxiao left home, but before leaving, Xu Qingxiao was delayed for a while while locking the door.
A quarter of an hour.
A figure jumped over the wall, it was a thirty-year-old man.
The figure was very agile and his movements were capable. He opened the door directly and the door was locked, but the other party only used a piece of iron wire to open it.
After entering, the man's eyes fell directly on the desk.
White paper stained with ink.
He looked over and frowned.
This person is Cheng Lidong's subordinate. Cheng Lidong came here today to tell him to come and check the details of Xu Qingxiao.
The reason why I arranged it today was because I didn’t want to alert others and I wanted to wait for Xu Qingxiao to reveal his flaws.
It happened that Xu Qingxiao stayed in front of the desk for such a long time today, so he couldn't help but come over to find out.
But what made him frown was that he didn't recognize any of the words on the paper.
"What kind of writing is this?"
He was a little depressed. The writing on the paper was not the writing of the Wei Dynasty at all. He had never seen it before, but it looked very simple.
He did not take away the paper, but took out a small pen and a blue book and wrote down the words on it.
After finishing writing, he left quietly, with the doors and windows still closed. He didn't want Xu Qingxiao to find someone breaking in, so he was very cautious.
Si time.
The golden sun is in the air, and it is quite nice to have such weather in March.
The sun was shining in the woods, and a green figure slowly appeared.
He is a man who looks very young, in his mid-twenties, with his hair tied and wearing a crown. He looks very handsome, and every move he makes appears elegant.
Chen Xinghe walked on the forest path, holding the golden sun in his head, but there were no beads of sweat on his forehead, and he had a certain amount of nourishment.
He has a good temperament, handsome appearance, and delicate eyebrows, with a little bit of coldness, making him look like an extremely gentleman.
Half an hour passed.
Chen Xinghe stopped for a moment, took out the gray water bag from the book basket behind his back, took a light sip, and then continued on his way.
"My husband sent a letter overnight asking me to come to his house. What's going on?"
As they walked along, Chen Xinghe was a little curious.
He is a student of Zhou Ling and a famous talent in the neighboring county. He has been a scholar for three generations and can be considered a scholarly family. He is twenty-four years old and is preparing for the government examination.
But just yesterday, his teacher sent someone to deliver a letter asking him to come, which made Chen Xinghe a little curious.
But no matter what, he must come. The Wei Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism, etiquette and music, the king of heaven and earth, the master.
The teacher is the fifth person, after parents. If the teacher has something to do, the students must come.
Chen Xinghe didn't have anything to do, he was just curious about what his teacher was doing when he hurriedly called him over.
Fortunately, we are still less than half an hour away from Zhou Ling's home.
Just work harder and you'll be there.
And at this time.
Zhou Ling's home.
Xu Qingxiao came here a quarter of an hour ago. If she hadn't bought a lot of things on the way, I'm afraid she would have arrived earlier.
After giving gifts again, Wu still criticized him in various ways, and even Zhou Ling said a few words.
However, Xu Qingxiao said it straightforwardly. Zhou Ling led him into Confucianism and Taoism. This is the master. Students do have to give gifts to their teachers, and it is regarded as a gift to complete their cultivation.
After saying this, Zhou Ling accepted it. In this way, it would be considered a master-disciple relationship in the true sense. In the future, when Xu Qingxiao goes out and people ask about her family background, she can say that she learned from Zhou Ling.
If you really want to be particular about it, there is actually only one apprenticeship ceremony missing, but it doesn't matter, as a poor country doesn't need to be so cumbersome.
In the study, Mistress Wu went to cook, leaving only Xu Qingxiao and Zhou Ling.
"Qingxiao, I prepared some related books for you yesterday. The national examination will be held on the 15th day of next month. There are a total of 157 books here."
"You have to read every book carefully and understand it thoroughly. Don't skip it because it is obscure, and don't be impatient. Reading requires patience. It's not like practicing martial arts. Do you understand?"
Zhou Ling opened his mouth and pointed at the books on the first bookcase.
Looking at the neatly arranged books on the bookcase, Xu Qingxiao was moved. Zhou Ling collected thousands of volumes and sorted out more than a hundred. It probably took him an entire night. Looking at Zhou Ling's slightly tired face, it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
How to prevent Xu Qingxiao from being moved.
The ancients were still kind-hearted and educated their children, regardless of the inside or outside.
"Thank you teacher."
Xu Qingxiao bowed her hands and thanked her from the bottom of her heart.
Zhou Ling nodded and continued.
"Qingxiao, I think it's a little inappropriate to ask you to take the government examination this time, so I wrote a letter all night and asked one of my students to come over. My name is Chen Xinghe. Counting that you and he are from the same school, you can see him then. , just call him senior brother."
"He is also going to take the government examination this year, but your senior brother is born better than you, has a scholarly family, and is somewhat talented. Although he has not yet entered the imperial examination, he is about to do it. It is better than being a teacher."
"Apart from his cold temperament and arrogance, he is actually a very good person and has a good heart. If he says a few words about you, don't take it to heart."
Zhou Ling opened his mouth and told this matter.
"Students understand, please rest assured, teacher. Students are new to Confucianism and Taoism and still need to learn many aspects. There will be no discomfort in holding grudges."
Xu Qingxiao understands this truth. There are always arrogant people. In addition, scholars have a pretty good status in this world, especially in poor places, where they are more respected.
So I can understand if I am a little arrogant. I have been a human being for two generations, so I naturally understand this truth.
Just after Xu Qingxiao finished speaking.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside.
"Student Chen Xinghe, meet the teacher."
The voice sounded, and Zhou Ling couldn't help but smile.
"I'll be here just as I said. Come on, Qingxiao, I'll take you to get to know each other."
After saying this, he walked out of the study, with Xu Qingxiao following behind.
