Chapter 160 Cleansing the menstruation and cutting the marrow
"I feel like my husband's chess skills have improved compared to last time."
"But this must be an illusion. At that time, my chess skills were shallow and I couldn't feel the depth. Now I feel more and more that Mr. is unfathomable."
"Sure enough, even if I have made progress, I can't be proud. There are people who are better than others."
Although they didn't meet much these days, they exchanged letters. Ye Buhui asked for advice through letters and benefited a lot. His relationship with Du Chenglin also deepened, and he gradually learned from him.
This time when Du Chenglin came over, Ye Buhui not only arranged the guest room in advance, but also played chess with him until now.
After getting married, there is rarely any "willfulness" anymore.
And Du Chenglin also deserves Ye Buhui's admiration. Even though Ye Buhui's chess skills gradually improved, he was still unable to parry the offensive and was about to lose.
Staring at the chessboard, Ye Buhui fell into deep thought. The chessboard in front of him seemed to have changed into two fighting armies.
There seemed to be something vaguely about to break out of the ground.
Su Ziji yawned. He really didn't have much interest in chess. He rubbed the little fox's head down his back and silently recited the Analects of Confucius. An information box that no one else could see appeared in front of his eyes.
"[Four Books and Five Classics] Level 13 (3022/13000), the progress is getting slower and slower. It seems that the resources of Shuanghua Mansion have been drained by themselves, and they have to continue to work hard.",
These days, although he is busy dealing with enemies, he does not refuse to make friends with others, especially scholars. Su Ziji has already let the wind out, saying: "I want to collect the unique books of scholars from various families and discuss with them."
In addition to old friends such as Yu Lu, Zhang Sheng, Fang Xi, etc., if other scholars want to participate in the reading, they must publish a valuable and unique copy - again, now that their status is getting higher, they don't have to worry about many things.
But even so, there is still a long way to go before upgrading again, mainly because even if there is a new version, the experience gained is getting lower and lower.
"Now my level is probably about the same as Fang Xi's father Fang Wenshao. Fang Wenshao went to Beijing many times and failed to pass the exam. It is difficult for me to pass the exam unless I am lucky."
Su Zi's goal is to go to the capital to take the exam and directly pass the Jinshi. If he wants to achieve this goal, due to luck, even upgrading to level 15 may not be enough. He must have level 16, and time is not very rich. He will be on the ninth day of March next year.
I'll give it a try.
"After this matter is over, we have to go to the capital as soon as possible. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital. Many old candidates have stayed there for several years, waiting for the imperial examination. They should be able to gain more new knowledge and experience."
Give up this time and attack next time?
Su Ziji never thought about it.
He is now a member of the Juren dynasty. This title, whether in the previous dynasty or in the Zheng dynasty, is enough for most people from poor families.
But for those who are interested, they have just entered the bureaucracy.
Only when you pass the Jinshi exam can you be considered one of your own.
"Although it is the time to seize the rightful son, and there is a bloody storm in the court, if you don't enter the court, you will actually be more likely to be implicated as cannon fodder, so it is better to give it a try."
"The most important thing is that, by some mistake, I may be regarded as a bloodline of the prince. Whether it is true or false, this identity is very fatal. It may not be spread yet, and it is still a secret. I must try my best to gain capital, whether it is fame or team.
"
"If the emperor suddenly decrees that I should not take the imperial examination and become a pig in captivity, how can I guard against all kinds of open and covert attacks? I won't even have time to cry."
"We don't have enough connections now. The most important thing is that we don't know much about the imperial court. Although Lu Fengyun is trained in the art of slaying dragons, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. People at the bottom want to know more. Learning skills alone can't do it. You need to be real.
Enter the circle and learn about it and practice it.”
When I was thinking about it, I heard Buhui call out: "Husband!"
"Huh?" Su Ziji looked over.
"Read the Dragon Palace chess record again!" Ye Buhui's face turned red, he was sweating like rain, and he looked over expectantly.
I understand, this is a bottleneck. Do you want to find a feeling and force a breakthrough?
Su Ziji nodded understandingly and started reading.
Because the chess records of Dragon Palace are related to Panlong's Secret Technique, Su Zi knew it by heart, but when he read it out now, he was a little more fluent than when Ye Buhui first heard it.
There is a rhythm in the voice.
Ye Buhui was mesmerized by what he heard, and immediately fell into a mysterious and mysterious realm.
Du Chenglin, who was sitting opposite, was shocked when he heard this and asked: "Where did this genealogy come from?"
Su Ziji did not stop, but continued to recite. From his perspective, [2], [2] kept popping up on the top of Ye Buhui's head.
After Du Chenglin spoke up, he felt that he had lost his composure, so he shut up and listened carefully.
It wasn't until Su Ziji finished reading all of it that he answered Du Chenglin: "I don't know where this chess record came from. I just got it by chance and I remembered it."
"It's your chance to get such chess records." Du Chenglin said, and couldn't help but smile: "I took advantage of it."
Such a good thing was easily obtained from Su Ziji.
He vaguely felt that his heart was heating up, but if he felt it carefully, there was nothing unusual about it. After careful consideration, he only felt that his chess skills had improved slightly, and he gained nothing else.
I couldn't help but sigh to myself: "It's just a pity that this opportunity is given to me. Whether I can gain some enlightenment or not depends on my own understanding."
"My understanding is still not enough."
Back then, when I was still a little demon, I accompanied my teacher to visit Lord Long of Shuifu. I was lucky enough to see half of the chess records. I benefited greatly at that time and felt that Lord Long was stingy.
Now it seems that even if you get the remaining half, it won't be of greater help.
It is said that there is a secret inside, but it is a pity that we cannot understand it clearly.
Just thinking about it, Ye Buhui murmured: "I see, I understand."
There was a snap, and a child fell.
As soon as this piece fell, there was a bang in Du Chenglin's eyes, and the entire chessboard seemed to come alive, undergoing extremely mysterious changes.
In the sky, the subtle spiritual energy seemed to have received a call. Under Du Chenglin's horrified gaze, it was drawn into Ye Buhui's body by invisible hands, and slowly flowed like a stream hitting an obstacle.
The dry "road" gradually opened up, and some spiritual energy accidentally overflowed, drilled out of the pores, and lingered around, forming a fine white light.
This is extremely fast, almost done in the blink of an eye.
"It's actually a process of cleansing and severing the marrow!" Du Chenglin looked at this scene, as if struck by thunder, and his mind went blank.
If he hadn't been sure that she was a human being and was still in front of his eyes, Du Chenglin would never have believed this fact. This was the treatment he only received when he became a chess master.
Such talent for playing chess and its ability to live for such a long time have never been seen in humans before. This is the first time.
You know, since the establishment of the Zheng Dynasty, most chess masters can only win by playing chess. In Du Chenglin's view, those who are still ordinary people and can master chess through chess are considered true chess masters!
But how many humans can reach this level? I didn’t expect to see one with my own eyes!
"Chirp!" Ye Buhui's eyes were half-opened at this time, and his eyes were slightly drooped, but the little fox suddenly struggled to break free from Su Ziji's arms and pounced directly on her.
