Chapter 22 It's That Simple
Reading the book a hundred times will make one's sense. It's just that some people only need ten days, while others need half a year. There is really nothing to say about this comparison. Just as Tang Sanshiliu said, the girl often makes people have nothing to say, so Chen Changsheng naturally had to stop talking.
But for some reason, Shuang'er was unhappy when she saw Chen Changsheng's silent and dull look. Or she always thought that since you had an engagement with the lady, even if your strength was far apart, at least she should show her will or ambitions?
And in her opinion, if the young lady had not written a letter from Nanxizhai, Chen Changsheng would have been afraid that he would have no idea of life and death now, so he would not have had the chance to enter the National Education College and sit on the clean floor to study and practice? If you don’t thank you for your gratitude, you shouldn’t be so silent, just pretend that nothing has happened, right?
Shuang'er looked at him and shook her head, took a thin piece of letter paper from her arms and handed it over.
"Since you have a rare opportunity to practice now, you should cherish it more, start with the basics, be down-to-earth, don't always think about any evil ways, and don't always put your hopes on others, especially women." She didn't know what she thought of, and said sternly: "Cultivation is not that simple. Even if there is no hope, I hope you don't give up. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Changsheng took the paper and was stunned. He didn't understand what her words meant. He thought that he had hid in this cemetery-like academy and studied silently. Did the God General's Mansion and the Miss Xu still felt that they were a little annoying?
The sun outside the library is high, and the leaves are rushing
2000
, the straight light radiates into many spots. Fortunately, it is early spring, and the weather is not too hot. The paper carries the fragrance of my daughter's house, but there is no sweat.
Chen Changsheng looked at the four words on the paper and was silent for a long time.
"You can do it yourself."
The handwriting on the paper is quite delicate, but not very amazing, and the strokes are very straight, looking a little naive and cute, he guessed that these four words should have been written to him by the lady of the Xu family from far south, but he could not connect the girl who wrote such a stupid handwriting with the genius girl in the rumors.
He understood the meaning of these four words, and seemed to vaguely see the expression of Miss Xu when she wrote these four words. I guess she must have had a faint look at the time, her brows were slightly frowning, a little impatient, and a little unhappy, and more of it was indifferent.
She wrote four words for him, but the key one is that word and that word self.
Self, it is yourself.
You live your own life.
You read your own books.
You practice yourself.
You can eat and drink well yourself.
Chen Changsheng thought quietly for a while, no longer thought about it, put the note in his sleeve, stood up, walked to the bookshelf and began to look for the forty-nine books on the back cover of the marrow-cleaning theory. While searching, while thinking about what Shuang'er's maid said before, his brows couldn't help but frown, and his fingers moved between the books also slowed down - it really took only ten days to read so many books a hundred times? So how did he read it?
The theory of marrow cleaning is the general theory of practice. The forty-nine books on the back cover are the real objects of learning. Students should use the knowledge and wisdom in these books to open their minds, solidify their understanding of the world, and thus strengthen their souls.
This is a pure spiritual practice. Since the birth of the Book of Heaven, humans began to practice. At the beginning, this method was adopted. This method was either because countless predecessors summarized it. This method is the most efficient and has the highest success rate, or because words are the only carrier of thought. If you want to use the thoughts of predecessors to help your thoughts become power, then you naturally have to use the bridge of words.
Since this method is used, the forty-nine books in the notes of the Marrow Cleansing Theory are naturally the forty-nine books that are recognized by human society as the most capable of condensing spiritual consciousness. Since the National Education Review of the specific bibliography in 1582, it has never changed.
Chen Changsheng was walking by the bookshelf and searching. Even though he was extremely familiar with the collection of books, it took him half an hour to find all the forty-nine books, and then moved them all to the floor next to the window and arranged them in order.
Instead of starting to read immediately, he went to Baihua Lane to eat a dish soup and rice, and then rested on the lawn by the lakeside with dense trees and curtains for half an hour. It was not until he was satisfied that he walked back to the library and picked up the first book to read.
When he was looking for books before, he had already confirmed through the title that he had not read these books. He was a little regretful and was also very curious about what the contents of these books actually could help humans condense their spiritual consciousness.
The first book he picked up was called "Pu Men Chu Jie". He confirmed that he had never read this book, so when he opened the book and saw some familiar sentences, he thought he was dazzled, just like in the Tiandaoyuan exam.
This book is very thin, but he feels a little heavy. He stared at the contents in the book in a daze, and found that he had read these contents as early as four years old. To be more precise, he had already memorized these contents.
But in the old temple in Xining Town, this book is called "Baopu Jing"
He was a little surprised because he seemed to have returned to the assessment site of the Heavenly Daoyuan. He thought that such a good thing would not have happened all the time, but he didn't expect it to happen again. This made him a little dazed and it took him a while to wake up.
After waking up, he quickly opened the second book.
The name of this book is: "Collection of Praise and Fu of Heavenly Books"
He quickly tilted the pages of the book like a breeze blowing on the book. He quickly confirmed that he had read the book. The hymns of the predecessors after watching the book tomb of Heaven were all in his mind. However, when he was five years old, when he was reading these poems in the old temple in Xining Town, the name of the collection was "Shihualu".

Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment and opened the third book.
Still so.
He has also read this book, but it is just a different name from the one I read when I was a child.
The fourth book, the fifth book... He quickly browsed the forty-nine books and confirmed that he had read all of them himself.
Is this the same thing?
Is this a surprise? Chen Changsheng picked up the marrow cleansing theory again and was silent for a long time. He thought silently in his heart. The corners of his lips had risen at some point, his eyes narrowed like a galaxy flowing, and his ground was filled with smiles.
He remembered what Shuang'er said when she left.
“Cultivation is not that simple.”
He looked up and saw the light and shadow at the entrance of the library. The breeze was coming, but there was no one. He couldn't help feeling a little lost. If the little girl was still there, he really wanted to tell her that he seemed to be able to gather his spiritual sense faster than your lady.
But he immediately thought that Xu Yourong read forty-nine volumes a hundred times to see the true meaning. He was only four years old when he successfully condensed his spiritual consciousness. The little bit of pride that he had just developed suddenly disappeared. He laughed at himself and thought that it was really meaningless.
The next thing is to use the method above the marrow cleaning theory to convert all the words engraved in the mind and the information accompanying the words into the nutrients of one's powerful soul, and then condense the spiritual consciousness in one fell swoop.
If anyone else would probably continue downward at such a critical moment. But Chen Changsheng looked at the sky light and found that the sun had moved westward and the dusk was getting darker. He actually put down the marrow washing theory, packed up the books on the floor, and walked out of the library.
It's time to have supper.
...
...
Because I have to have supper, I can ignore the opportunity to change my destiny that is within my reach. If this is self-discipline, this self-discipline is too strict and cruel, and it is more like some kind of self-abuse, but it can also be said to be some kind of self-confidence, because he believes that the opportunity will not slip away.
From the admission assessment of Tiandaoyuan to the discovery of these forty-nine volumes in my mind today, Chen Changsheng has been able to confirm some things - the master has laid all the foundation for his practice for a long time, and the master is indeed not an ordinary Taoist.
The road to practicing Taoism is long and long, and he and his senior brother Yu Ren studied Taoism since childhood, and all the books are in their hearts. This means that he has set out for a long time before others and has walked thousands of miles. Then he will naturally reach the other side before others.
Chen Changsheng has always been very confident. Now that he has confirmed these things, he is more confident. At this time, the dusk is getting darker and the setting sun is gradually disappearing, but in his more open mind, there is a red sun rising slowly. How can he worry about the darkness of the road ahead?
After dinner, he returned to the library again, boiled a pot of boiling water, brewed a cup of flower tea he bought in Baihua Lane, sat cross-legged, calmed for a moment, and slowly swept across the forty-nine neatly arranged books, and finally fell on the theory of marrow washing.
The words in the book rise from the deepest part of his mind, come back from his childhood memories, become extremely real, and then gradually release a certain breath, following the first chapter of the Marrow Cleansing Theory, constantly blending in his thought world.
Many years ago in the old temple, he had already completed enlightenment, and what he wanted to do at this time was to be conscious.
He closed his eyes, thought quietly, and then gradually forgot to think.
The so-called enlightenment of the mind and nature is actually not that complicated.
It's just a combination of four words.
Time passed, and frogs were croaking in the wetlands outside the library at some point.
It's obviously early spring.
The night is getting darker, the stars are getting brighter, and the people are making noise in Kyoto.
The National Education College is still so quiet alone.
The oil lamps in the library are very weak, but they seem to never go out.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the museum.
This sound comes from between heaven and earth.
There is wind surrounds the building.
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, and then gradually calmed down, and finally was covered with joy.
One day and one night, he successfully condensed his spiritual consciousness.
