Chapter 26: Departure, Nanyu Mansion

That night.

Zhou Ling's home.

Looking at Xu Qingxiao who was kneeling on the ground, Zhou Ling did not help him, but slowly spoke.

"Qingxiao, I have given you the word "Shou Ren" after much thought. I hope you will maintain constant virtue and put benevolence and righteousness first.

All of Zhou Ling's words converged on this word "gift".

Shouren?

Xu Qingxiao chewed on these two words in his heart. He understood its meaning, but he didn't fully understand it, but he still bowed to Zhou Ling.

"Thank you teacher for the words. The students will remember them in their hearts."

Xu Qingxiao spoke up and thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

"Go to rest early. You still have to study more these days. I'll take care of the rest."

Zhou Ling nodded, came to Xu Qingxiao and patted his shoulder.

"Thank you teacher for your guidance."

"Teacher, the student plans to leave in a few days to go to Nanyu Mansion."

Xu Qingxiao stood up, looked at Zhou Ling and said.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Zhou Ling asked. Although he didn't know why Xu Qingxiao left early, he didn't ask any more questions. He just asked if he was in a hurry.

"kindness."

Xu Qingxiao responded without giving a direct answer.

At that moment, Zhou Ling thought for a moment, then held up the oil lamp and said.

"It's good to leave early so that you can get familiar with Nanyu Mansion. When will you leave?"

Zhou Ling asked.

"Thirty of the month."

Xu Qingxiao told the time, and he and Wu Yan agreed on the time. The sooner, the better.

"Okay, I'll ask your wife to prepare your luggage."

"Qingxiao, better rest."

Zhou Ling didn't say anything more. He swayed the oil lamp in his hand and walked towards the door.

Xu Qingxiao looked at Zhou Ling's back without saying a word. After Zhou Ling left, he slowly returned to the desk.

All the complicated emotions disappeared at this moment.

There are only six words Zhou Ling said in his mind.

Let’s talk about the rest.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qingxiao looked at the desk, then replaced it with a piece of white paper, took a brush, dipped it in some ink, and wrote two words on the white paper.

【Shouren】

Practicing calligraphy over and over again, thinking over and over again, until dawn, Xu Qingxiao stopped writing, but did not fall asleep, but started practicing.

Read to read.

But you also need to practice Qigong.

Fortunately, when you practice the alien technique, it is not the kind of evil spirit technique. When you practice it, you will be surrounded by a pale golden shimmer. Instead, it is like a pure Yang technique.

The qi and blood are boiling, the Golden Crow quenches the body, and another stream of Golden Crow qi and blood condenses in the body.

The tenth level is for health care.

Ninth Grade Pulse Condensation.

The Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique has tempered the physical body once, and now the Golden Crow Qi and blood have been condensed, and the pulse can be tentatively condensed.

Breaking the shackles and condensing the Qi veins can produce 'inner Qi' and produce huge changes.

After possessing inner energy, you can do some things that are almost impossible for ordinary warriors to do, such as walking on water, or condensing sword energy, etc., one level and one level.

However, Xu Qingxiao has no intention of condensing her pulse now. She has just stepped into the tenth rank of warrior. If she breaks through to the ninth rank, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

So Xu Qingxiao planned to leave Pingan County and go to Nanyu Mansion to improve his level. Furthermore, whether he could succeed in condensing his pulse was another question. It was better to recuperate his body and wait until he was confident enough.

An hour later.

After Xu Qingxiao finished practicing, he felt refreshed and the fatigue from a sleepless night was gone.

He tried to swing a few punches, and his body became much stronger. He realized carefully that the power of his punch was at least about 500 kilograms. He did not dare to say that he was the first in Ping'an County, but he moved forward.

Three is not an exaggeration.

Even Xu Qingxiao could clearly feel that every time he practiced the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, his body would improve. If this continued for a long time, he might one day be able to condense the Holy Body of the Great Sun.

I don’t know how powerful this Great Sun Holy Body is.

After practicing, Xu Qingxiao simply washed up, then took out a book from the bookshelf and started reading seriously.

During the reading process, the heat in the body gradually cooled down, and Haoran's righteousness was also circulating, suppressing the demonic nature in all directions. This feeling was very direct.

Another hour passed.

Xu Qingxiao put down the book in his hand. He has now reached the Qi-nurturing state and cannot be said to have a photographic memory, but he can still achieve it with a superior memory.

You can probably remember a book after reading it once.

However, reading is not about rote memorization. The focus is on ‘reason’ and ‘explanation’. Reason means understanding the truth and understanding the truth explained in the text in the book.

Interpretation is to unravel one's own thinking and use one's own ideas to explain the text so that one can better understand and comprehend.

The book in Xu Qingxiao’s hands is called Theory of Human Desire.

The so-called human desire theory refers to human desires. The content of the book made Xu Qingxiao a little uncomfortable with it.

A saint is one who destroys human desires and preserves heavenly principles.

The reason why there are so many wars and chaos in the world, and why there are so many innocent massacres, is that they cannot control their own desires. This is true for kings and the same for common people. Those who read should restrain this kind of human desire.

Be kind to yourself and be kind to yourself, maintain a sense of reason at all times, and do not indulge in lust.

It sounds very reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, if you have no desires, you will perish. A person has no desires and no pursuits. He only knows how to pursue the ethereal and empty road. If everyone is like this, wouldn't this world be destroyed?

Xu Qingxiao somewhat disagreed with this kind of extreme ideological Confucianism.

But what makes Xu Qingxiao curious is that this theory of human desire is placed at the top of the bookshelf, which is enough to prove the importance of this theory of human desire.

Just when Xu Qingxiao was thinking, Chen Xinghe appeared.

He also came to pick up books.

Seeing the Human Desire Theory placed in front of Xu Qingxiao, she couldn't help but ask.

"Junior brother, have you read this book?"

"Just finished watching it."

Xu Qingxiao nodded and replied.

"How do you feel?"

Chen Xinghe asked directly.

"It's a little harsh and I don't quite understand it."

Xu Qingxiao didn't dare to make random comments. Ancient scholars were very stubborn in their thoughts and made some great Confucian scholars or saints as their targets or idols. If they dared to say a few random words, they could fall out, or even die without contact.

"kindness."

"The Theory of Human Desires was written by Zhu Sheng, a fifth-generation literary sage. Although he is a bit harsh, every word is exquisite."

"Students like us will indeed feel a little uncomfortable when we first read it. After all, everyone has desires, and restraining one's desires is an extremely difficult thing. But after reading it a few times and understanding it carefully, you will find its subtlety."

Sure enough, Chen Xinghe praised this essay on human desire.

"Senior brother, if you want to be human and suppress the desires of yourself and others, is it human?"

Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but ask.

Desire is the fundamental nature of human beings. If we restrain our desires, are we still not human?

However, Chen Xinghe shook his head.

"Junior brother, you have misunderstood. This theory of human desires does not mean to eliminate human desires. The fundamental point is not to excessively release desires. For example, marrying a wife and having children is considered a natural law, but having three wives and four concubines is a human desire."

"Eating three meals a day is regarded as a natural principle, and eating delicacies from mountains and seas is regarded as a human desire."

"If desire is too big, it will be endless. From ancient times to the present, wars are burning in the sky and mountains of corpses are all caused by human desire. If we can restrain ourselves, we will avoid man-made disasters."

Chen Xinghe explains Zhu Sheng's principles.

Xu Qingxiao understood these words, but continued to ask.

"I dare to ask, senior brother, how are the laws of heaven divided? How are human desires divided?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

"Zhu Sheng has already written it in Tianli Ce, but there should be no Tianli Ce in the teacher's home. When you go to Nanyu Mansion, senior brother will find it for you."

Chen Xinghe couldn't fully answer Xu Qingxiao's question, but it was recorded in the book, so he planned to go to Nanyu Mansion to find relevant books for Xu Qingxiao to answer.

"Excuse me, senior brother."

Xu Qingxiao said politely, but at the same time couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Brother, is Zhu Sheng's theory the mainstream of the current literary world?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

"This is natural. Zhu Sheng is the fifth saint in the world. It is inevitable that later generations of scholars will be influenced by him. However, Zhu Sheng's theory is not the only one. Saints from the previous four generations and modern times also have some other ideas."

"And there is no mainstream in the literary world. As long as the ideas are correct, a hundred schools of thought can contend and a hundred flowers can bloom. However, Zhu Sheng's words were extremely popular in the Wei Dynasty, and half of the imperial court imitated Zhu Sheng's words."

Chen Xinghe explained.

Xu Qingxiao finally understood.

The main reason why he asked this was because he was worried that something unpleasant would happen.

Since ancient times, literati have looked down upon each other, especially partisan disputes, as well as ideological disputes. Partisan disputes can be said to be about interests, and they must be determined based on the overall situation, so that they will not directly break each other's faces.

Moreover, what the Holy Father hates most is faction, so he doesn’t dare to be too explicit.

But the battle of ideas is different. If you insult my beliefs, I will try my best to get rid of you. Punching and kicking are common. If you encounter a few extreme ones, it is no joke.

So Xu Qingxiao was worried that she didn't like this kind of remarks. If she said something wrong, wouldn't it offend people for no reason? It might even endanger her life.

Therefore, after understanding this, Xu Qingxiao secretly warned not to participate in any ideological disputes. Anyway, follow whoever is more powerful, and the rest can just focus on studying.

Chen Xinghe picked up the book and left.

After a while, people came outside the door. They were two agents, Cheng Lidong's men. However, this time they were not arrogant and domineering. Instead, they politely explained their purpose.

He wanted to escort the two of them to Nanyu Mansion, but he was afraid that Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe would encounter some danger on the way.

Everyone understood what Cheng Lidong meant, and this reason was not easy to refuse, so they agreed.

That's it.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

It's the end of the month.

Zhou Ling informed Chen Xinghe that Xu Qingxiao was leaving early, but Chen Xinghe didn't care about it. After all, it was good to go early.

Even if nothing happens along the way from Ping'an County to Nanyu Prefecture, it will take about five days.

April 30th.

The carriage has been prepared. It was prepared by Cheng Lidong's men. This is not bad, at least it saves some travel expenses.

Outside the hospital.

Zhou Ling and Wu handed the things to Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe.

The luggage is not too much, just one piece of dry food and one piece of clothing. The dry food is for emergencies.

Zhou Ling didn't speak much, just a few words of diligence.

Wu gave various warnings. Although they didn’t get along for long, Xu Qingxiao’s conduct was kind and it was natural that she would develop feelings for her after a period of time. It was reasonable for her to give her repeated warnings.

It's already Chen time.

The golden sun shines high.

Xu Qingxiao and Chen Xinghe bowed respectfully to Zhou Ling and Wu, and then got into the carriage.

Cheng Lidong's agents escorted the two men without saying a word, leading their horses to the left and right.

drive!

With a shout.

Horse hooves are as pure as dust.

Rolling yellow sand rises.

People see things, things miss people, and I look at high school through the cold window of ten years.

[Scholar of the Great Wei Dynasty]
