Jiang Xiaofan was really shocked by his father's carpentry skills, but he still felt quite involved. At least it was his design, right?
However, Jiang Sibai's next words brought Jiang Xiaofan back to reality and made him worried.
Jiang Sibai said: "Xiao Fan, I don't think you are good at studying. You haven't practiced the sword manual given to you by the Luo Yun Sword Sect. I see that you like carpentry, so why not learn from me?"
Can you make a living with some carpentry skills in the future?"
He seems to be an old father who has given up all unrealistic fantasies and just wants to teach his son a skill to support his family.
When Jiang Xiaofan heard this, he felt a huge resistance. He said, "No, I must stand out in the future. I don't want to learn the carpenter's trade!"
Jiang Sibai wasn't angry when he heard this. He just smiled and said, "It's a good thing to have ambition, but what are you going to learn?"
"While your father still has the strength to cultivate the land, he will send you to learn whatever you want. I just hope that you can realize your wish in the future."
"But if you can't learn well, then you have no choice but to farm with your father honestly."
Jiang Xiaofan was speechless when he heard this. He just had too many ideas but didn't know how to implement them.
His expression changed and he said with difficulty: "Can you let me think about it carefully?"
Jiang Sibai nodded at this and said: "You have to think about it carefully, but if you can't figure it out yourself, you can ask me and I can help you with your advice?"
Jiang Xiaofan went back to his room absentmindedly.
He really needs to think about his future.
Yuan Ling came to Jiang Sibai with a smile and said: "Well done, 'If you don't work hard, you will have to farm at home.' He must have woken up under this threat, right?"
Jiang Sibai said angrily: "No, I think with our son's understanding, I'm afraid we need to explain it more clearly to him."
Yuan Ling was speechless at that time. Indeed, some people have such poor understanding.
If their son really had that kind of understanding, why would the series of arranged adventures in the Peach Grove Underground Palace remain in the dust until now?
It really only needs to be able to practice the sense of qi according to the "Basic Qi Training Technique", and then naturally there will be a series of natural and earthly treasures to increase his cultivation.
Even if he is too stupid to realize the Dao on his own, aren't there still various elixirs and spiritual materials that can assist in enlightenment?
Jiang Sibai and Bai Sitong had already made arrangements, but this child just couldn't live up to expectations and couldn't take the first step.
To be honest, now Jiang Sibai begins to understand why the reincarnation of a true spirit has to wait until the memory of the previous life has disappeared.
Because retaining memories of past lives can sometimes really become a kind of 'impairment of knowledge and vision'.
Just like Jiang Xiaofan, his thinking pattern has long been finalized in his previous life. Once that kind of materialistic thinking pattern is formed, it may be difficult to accept such mysterious and mysterious knowledge.
Jiang Xiaofan is definitely the most difficult subject in Jiang Sibai's life, but fortunately, now he has gradually understood how to deal with it.
First of all, there is no doubt that it is necessary to break this child’s inexplicable and stubborn ‘knowledge barrier’.
As for how to do this...
This requires Jiang Sibai to think carefully.
…
The next day, Jiang Xiaofan walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well all night.
Yuan Ling slowly rocked the crib to coax the little girl to sleep, and then asked curiously: "Xiaofan, have you figured it out this night?"
Jiang Xiaofan rubbed his eyes and sighed: "No, it's not that easy to understand."
Hearing this, Yuan Ling smiled softly and said, "Why don't you ask your dad soon?"
"Don't he know a little bit about everything? Let's see if he can give you some guidance in life."
Jiang Xiaofan was still a little shy.
Jiang Sibai, on the other hand, had no worries. He asked curiously: "It doesn't matter if you haven't decided what you want to do, but I think no matter what you want to do in the future, you must have a general direction, right?"
"Tell me about your plans for your future."
Jiang Xiaofan smiled bitterly like a young adult and said, "I don't know what I want to do, but I still remember the agreement I made with Brother Adou. I want to make a name for myself in Luodu with him!"
Yuan Ling secretly sighed: Silly boy, your brother Adou has already become famous in Luo without doing anything!
Jiang Sibai smiled and said: "Very good, at least you want to do something else."
He raised two fingers and said: "Actually, you have two problems here. The first is that you don't know what to do, and the second is that you are going to Luodu."
"As for the first question, my advice to you is to read more books now."
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan was a little unconvinced and wanted to speak, Jiang Sibai had already continued: "I'm not asking you to study those classics, but I'm asking you to read more history books, travel notes, even local diaries, and other books related to the principles of this world."
"If you want to do something but don't know how to do it, it's actually because your vision is too shallow. When you broaden your horizons, you will naturally know how to do it."
Jiang Xiaofan was a little depressed and a little unconvinced. He didn't feel that he was ignorant, he just felt that he was still 'acclimated'.
Seeing that he was so unconvinced, Jiang Sibai laughed and said, "That's all, let me tell you the second question, which is that you are going to Luodu to make a difference."
"Actually, from what I have seen, there are already four roads for you to go to Luodu that are laid out in front of you for you to choose from."
Jiang Xiaofan opened his eyes wide in shock.
Jiang Sibai had already raised a finger and said: "The first way is actually what you are doing now, which is to study hard and take the scientific examination. Then you will naturally be able to work in Luo as an official, and you will be able to 'get ahead'
Target.”
Jiang Xiaofan curled his lips and didn't care about this.
Jiang Sibai raised a second finger and said: "The second way is for you to learn a craftsman's craft. The current Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty rewards craftsmen generously. The status of a master craftsman is very important, so becoming a craftsman
Excellent craftsmen can also enter Luo."
Jiang Xiaofan still looked disapproving.
Jiang Sibai raised a third finger and said: "There is also a third rule, which is to practice the "Luo Yun Sword Technique" well, and then join the Luo Yun Sword Sect at the age of twelve to continue further studies. When you become an adult, you can apply to join the local 'Demon Slayer Division' as a
A demon-slayer, and then use this as a path to enter Luo."
However, after he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaofan's eyes widened and he asked in astonishment: "Wait a minute, father, what did you just say about 'demon slayer'?"
Jiang Sibai nodded.
Jiang Xiaofan asked again: "Is there a demon in this world?!"
Jiang Sibai nodded again and said: "Yes, didn't you read the newspaper at Mr. Lin's place? His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty signed a peace agreement with the surviving Demon Emperor of the Eastern Continent a month ago. This has been delayed for ten years. Since you
The Eastern Crusade that started before I was born is finally over."
Jiang Xiaofan was extremely stunned, and said in disbelief and confusion: "I thought this 'Demon Emperor' refers to the name of an emperor in the Eastern Continent, but it turns out it is really the 'Demon Emperor'."
Yuan Ling covered her face, and Jiang Xiaomei, who was drinking milk in her arms, didn't know if she felt helpless because of her brother's stupidity, or if she just imitated her mother's actions and covered her face with her hands.
Even Jiang Sibai couldn't help complaining: "You are so old, and you haven't even figured out what kind of world you were born in. I remember Mr. Lin should have told you these things, right?"
Jiang Xiaofan was ashamed and speechless for a while. Although he had been studying with Mr. Lin during this period, he had been dozing off most of the time.
Suddenly he felt a little ashamed.
He has always regarded himself as a time traveler, but it seems a little unreasonable for a time traveler to behave like this.
