When I got home, my sister hadn't come back yet. With Xiaojiu by her side, I didn't have to worry about my sister's safety. When it came to morality, I wasn't necessarily Xiaojiu's opponent. As long as Xiaojiu was by her side, my sister would be safe.
It's like having a super bodyguard. Even if the leader of Tianyin Sect comes to visit, he may not be able to hurt his sister. Of course, the most powerful thing in the world may not be mana but conspiracy.
I cooked the meal myself and sat in the living room watching TV while waiting for my sister to come back. At this time, I received a call from my sister, saying that she had to work overtime at school and would have to come back later, and asked me to eat alone first.
I always felt that my sister was in a hurry these days, as if she was hiding something from me. After dinner, I practiced calligraphy, Chinese painting, and practiced a song with the guqin.
Then I thought about a question that made me very upset recently. The teacher said that the most fundamental question of human beings is: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?
I originally thought that these three questions should not be a problem for me as a monk. I am my own spiritual consciousness. The yin and yang intersect and the spiritual consciousness is born. I seek immortality, and my future will naturally be eternal. However, occasionally I also
You will be confused. Am I really the divine consciousness generated by the intersection of yin and yang? People who practice Taoism know the past life and this life, so who is my previous life? Can immortality really be eternal? Whenever these doubts arise.
, I will find that the tree of Tao in my heart will begin to sway. Because I don’t know, after cultivating Tao, is it really meaningful to be as eternal as a tree, or as eternal as a planet? Cultivating Tao is
A life, such a life is really full of meaning. I am full of doubts about the future, but my wisdom is not enough to solve my doubts.
When I was confused, I entered a dream. The beautiful scenery of this place seemed like eternity, as if I was the only one left in this world.
"Ah!" I let out a loud shout.
The entire dream seemed to have stopped. All the creatures paused, and they also showed doubts on their faces. Some small spirit beasts showed fear. However, as if a small stone was thrown into the calm water, it stirred up the excitement.
A water halo spread out in all directions. Then it quickly returned to calm.
"Maybe when I grow up, I will be able to know the answer." I answered myself in the stupidest way. The young man's heart seemed to be released and relaxed all of a sudden, and his Taoist mind calmed down again.
My sister came home very late. She was a little tired.
"Jingyang, why haven't you slept yet? You have to go to school tomorrow, go to bed quickly." My sister saw me sitting stupidly on the sofa and putting down the things in my hands, so she came over and gave me a gentle push.
"Sister, why are you back so late? Are you so busy with school work?" I asked.
"A batch of data just arrived from the research office. I quickly sorted it out. I haven't done such a big job for a long time." Although my sister looked tired, she was still very excited.
"Is it the oracle bone inscriptions unearthed at the archaeological site you mentioned last time?" As soon as I saw my sister's look, I vaguely understood the outline.
"Jingyang, it's not that I don't listen to you. If I were asked to go to that place, I would definitely not agree to go there. But now the cultural relics are directly sent to my research laboratory. That's what I do now
Yes, how can I refuse when someone else comes to my door?" My sister said with some embarrassment.
"I'll go over and have a look tomorrow. Also, no matter where you go from now on, you must take Xiaojiu with you. Xiaojiu is very strong. With him, he can handle it no matter what the situation is." I added.
warned.
"I will take Xiaojiu with me. Don't go to the research laboratory. If you want to go, wait until the weekend. You are in high school now. Your studies are more intense than before. If you want to get into a good university, just go
You have to start working hard when you are a freshman in high school. You must not lose at the starting line. Do you understand?" My sister quickly warned me.
"Okay." I nodded.
Because the mid-term exam has already come, Teacher Wang will definitely not allow leave at this time. Although I can definitely decide first and then play later, I don’t want to be different from other students. It’s almost the weekend anyway. My sister has Xiaojiu’s protection.
Anyway, nothing can happen, and it won't be a problem if it's two days late. My interest in Oracle is not as great as before. The main reason is that I am confused about my spiritual practice. I think what I need to solve most now is
Understand why to practice Taoism, not how to practice Taoism.
"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly." My sister quickly urged.
In the morning, as soon as I walked into the school gate, Li Wan walked over to me.
"Huang Jingyang, what a coincidence, you have just arrived at school?" Li Wan said to me with a smile.
No matter how naive I am, I know that there is no such coincidence. When I first entered the school gate, I clearly didn’t see Li Wan. Li Wan walked under a tree inside the school gate. At first, I kept looking at the time.
It seems that she has already figured out my routine of coming to school.
"Well, you come to school at this time every day." I could only cooperate with Li Wan.
"Yes, yes. I brought some breakfast from home. My dad is good at making breakfast. Try it and see if it suits your taste?" Li Wan took out a plastic box from her schoolbag and specially used a towel.
It was wrapped tightly, probably to keep warm. After opening the towel, it was still warm inside.
I am embarrassed not to give face to people who are so caring. Being cared for by others always makes me very touched. I can feel Li Wan's sincerity.
"Hey, thank you." I took the plastic box and felt the temperature on the box.
"Why are you thanking me? I made it at home and didn't spend any money." Li Wan helped me open the box and took out a pair of chopsticks from the side. "It's clean. Don't worry."
Just as I was about to eat, I heard someone shouting behind me, which startled me. The dumplings held on my chopsticks fell straight down. Fortunately, I am a monk and I have quick eyesight and quick hands. I quickly picked up the dumplings that fell into the air again.
Clip it back.
"Huang Jingyang, has your Li Wan prepared breakfast for you?" I didn't have to look back to know that the person coming was Wei Mohen.
There was a hint of shyness on Li Wan's face, but the aura of fighting was also rolling over her.
"Wei Mohen! Do you believe that I asked Xiao Manli to ignore you again?" Li Wan pointed at Wei Mohen and said fiercely.
Wei Mohen is really scared. Although Xiao Manli has a crush on him, she has not yet reached the point where she can't live without him. But Xiao Manli has always obeyed Li Wan, a good sister, since she was a child. Who let the two of them grow up in the same courtyard?
What about?
"No. Li Wan, my aunt, please be merciful." Wei Mohen immediately turned into a docile puppy, wagging his tail to please Li Wan.
I couldn't help but smile, it was really boiling tofu in brine, everything was reduced.
Wei Mohen looked at me with a look of resentment on his face, "Huang Jingyang, you are not a brother enough. Your brother is in trouble, but you can still laugh."
"Ignore him, finish your breakfast quickly. Class is about to start." Li Wan's tone of voice when she spoke to me seemed to have suddenly changed. The woman was really a monster of all kinds of contradictions. She was so hot just now.
, and became so gentle again in the blink of an eye.
"Huang Jingyang, the high school entrance examination is today, how are you preparing?" Li Wan asked.
I don't go out of my way to prepare for the high school entrance exam. I have never worked hard for the exam since I was a child. In the past, I usually listened to whatever I wanted in class, but like now, I still attend class honestly every day. Although it may not necessarily be the case.
I listen carefully every minute and every second. But compared with before, it is also a big improvement.
"It's okay." I said this somewhat perfunctorily.
"Then you have to work harder. Tan Liwen has always worked very hard, and he just hopes to beat you in the exam. You have made him alienate everyone in the class, and no one in the class is willing to talk to him. He studies hard
, I just want to suppress you in your studies." Li Wan said with some worry.
"Whatever. Isn't it just an exam? It's not the college entrance examination." I didn't think so.
"Regardless of whether it's the college entrance examination, it's better to do well than do poorly." Li Wan looked at me from time to time while walking.
"Anyway, we have the exam today, it's too late to say anything." I smiled. Exams have never been too important to me.
"Then you should be more careful in the exam. I heard Tan Liwen telling people in the foreign class that you came in through the back door and would do some evil things. When it comes to academic performance, you are no match for him." When Li Wan said this
, eyes kept staring at me, for fear that I would be unhappy.
"Actually, what he said is right. I was able to attend Yanda because my sister came to work at Yanda. Although it is not a back door, if Tan Liwen said this, it is not wrong." I said this.
don't care about things.
People like Tan Liwen are like ants in my eyes. How can what he says affect me?
"I just want to see you do better in the exam and give him a nice slap in the face." Li Wan snorted. Obviously she cared more about Tan Liwen's words than me.
The midterm exam was not as big as the final exam. The seats in the classroom were just opened a little. Even the books on the desks were not cleared away. It was just like a normal test.
"This exam is the first for students entering high school. I hope everyone can abide by the exam discipline and get their true scores..." Wang Shipeng stood on the podium and said a few words before handing out the test papers.
Teacher Wang and the English teacher proctored the exam together, one after the other. The proctoring was no less severe than the final exam.
I worked on it for about twenty minutes and then stopped writing.
Teacher Wang walked over to me and said, "Huang Jingyang, why don't you answer the question?"
"I've finished, can I hand in the paper in advance?" I didn't want to be too independent, but who knew that Teacher Wang would give me such an opportunity.
"Did you finish?" Teacher Wang opened my test paper and read it from beginning to end. He found that my test paper was really full and neat. Not a single word had been changed from beginning to end. And it looked like,
It seems that the answers are all correct.
"Can I hand in my paper?" I asked.
"Okay." Teacher Wang said casually. When he wanted me to sit down and check again, I had already walked out quickly. (To be continued.)
