The setting sun shines in the evening, the clouds are like fire, the branches are swaying, the setting sun casts mottled light on the ground and the wall, and tranquility is restored in the small courtyard.
Yunjing sat under the pear tree in the yard and slowly read a book. The aroma of tea overflowed from the small table beside him. Song Yan always paid attention to the temperature of the tea so that it would not get too cold.
The ability of photographic memory can only allow Yunjing to accumulate written content faster than others. Merely memorizing it is not enough. He needs to understand it thoroughly and fully master it to make it his own.
His master Li Qiu once said that knowledge alone is not enough. In Yunjing's previous life, he also said that he knew what he was doing and why he was doing it.
Every time I read the contents of the books I have read and memorized in my mind, Yun Jing gains something new, and the meaning of the books becomes apparent after reading them a hundred times.
Years of indifferent character have allowed Yunjing to develop a mentality that reading books does not feel boring. Even if it is an ancient book that is difficult to understand, every time he understands a passage, he will feel great satisfaction in his heart.
Knowledge is spiritual food. Sometimes after reading too much, he will feel "full", just like after drinking wine and delicious food. Sometimes, after understanding the content of the book, he will feel as if there is an electric current flowing through his body, and he will feel refreshed.
Just reading can feed back the physical reaction from the spiritual level. Yun Jing once thought about this state. He felt that reading is also a kind of practice. What is cultivated is the heart and the spirit. When the state of mind and consciousness reach a certain level,
To the extent that will interferes with reality, the extraordinary can also be reflected at that time.
Li Qiu once told him that there was an old scholar who had never mastered martial arts. He was a master of the classics. Once he had a sudden enlightenment, all the meridians in his body were connected. He naturally opened acupuncture points to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fill his body. He stepped into the advanced realm of martial arts in one fell swoop, and his hair turned white.
Turning the ink, cleansing the tendons and rejuvenating the marrow, you will be dozens of years younger, and you will be like a child again.
Reading can also prove extraordinary martial arts!
It’s just that there are too few people who want to reach that level through reading. They are rare. But once such a person appears, his potential is endless, his future achievements are limitless, and he can be treated as a treasure.
As far as the Dali Dynasty is concerned, many masters in the mythical realm in history were unknown in martial arts in their early years, and spent decades wasting their time. Once they had an epiphany, they became unstoppable.
However, people who have achieved extraordinary results through reading have a fatal weakness, that is, their own ideas cannot collapse. Once they have doubts about their own ideas, the consequence will be the collapse of the entire spiritual world. It can be said that everything will be reduced to nothing. Compared with martial arts, step by step
Cultivation is ten thousand times more dangerous!
But having said that, one can prove transcendence through reading. How tenacious is the mentality of such a person? How can it be shaken by some external forces.
Such people are very strong, but if they can defeat them spiritually, it will be very easy to deal with them.
Yunjing once saw an example in a classic book, which said that it was an existence of a mythical realm in an enemy country. This person proved the mythical realm through reading books. He spent his whole life explaining and proving his spiritual ideas, but in the end,
But he died at the mouth of a young boy.
The specific process is not clearly recorded in the classics, but it was Meng Tong who exposed the belief he had worked hard for his whole life with one sentence, and then the existence of the mythical realm collapsed.
It can be seen that reading is also a very dangerous thing.
When an idealistic person's ideals are hit, the consequences will be disastrous for the person himself.
Yunjing is still far away from that level, and besides, he is not pursuing the path of studying and becoming enlightened, so he doesn't have so many worries. After all, he is still different from people in this world.
Reading can strengthen his spiritual side, and it is of great help. It is directly transformed into "substantial" strength, so he does not have the weaknesses of a poor scholar like Hao Shou. It can even be said that Yunjing has been on the path since he was very young.
He followed a path that was different from everyone else in this world.
Don't argue or get angry, let everything take its course, don't be irritated because you don't get close, and don't be complacent because you have gained something.
I am just a passer-by in the world, like the flowing water, I don’t care where I came from, and I don’t care about the way back...
Fang Yueyue was practicing martial arts in the corner of the yard. As a young girl, she took a light and agile route, moving around like a cheerful bird, trying not to disturb others by making any noise.
She is a very sensible little girl. She is young at her age, but she can restrain herself very well.
Occasionally, her eyes crossed Ye Tian's figure, and the little girl felt an unknown excitement in her mind. The world is so good, and being young is so good. She has never thought about the future, but she is happy now, and that's enough.
Ye Tian practiced calligraphy carefully on the stone table in the courtyard, and his strokes were quite satisfactory. However, after all, he had only been in school for a few months, and he could not even recognize all the commonly used characters. His current calligraphy was really hard to praise.
But he is working hard, as everyone does at the beginning of learning. If he makes a little progress every day, he will eventually gain something.
Even in the past Yunjing, at the beginning of learning, the handwriting was no different from that of a dog crawling.
Yun Jing read a book leisurely, Fang Yueyue practiced martial arts seriously, and Ye Tian practiced calligraphy assiduously. The three of them formed a harmonious picture.
The sun was setting and night was approaching. Yun Jing closed the book and asked Song Yan to prepare dinner. Then he said to Ye Tian: "Brother Ye, you have been practicing calligraphy all afternoon. Stop. Learning is a matter of relaxation and restraint.
Don’t be too hasty, let’s do this for today.”
Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded, but still insisted on filling up a piece of paper before putting down the brush. He couldn't write small characters now. He could only write a few dozen words on a one-foot-square piece of paper, and it was very short.
Ugly, it's obvious that he can't even make his handwriting even.
Yunjing didn't laugh at him, after all, he had also come from this level.
To be honest, the teenage Ye Tian did not have a mature mind, so it was really rare that he could persist for so long. Even Yun Jing was a little surprised.
Not to mention other people, just take a few of Yunjing's friends. When he was as old as Ye Tian, no one could insist on practicing calligraphy for more than half an hour. It was really boring and painful.
Anyone who has experienced this knows that many times, even after writing a word dozens or hundreds of times, hey, he actually doesn’t recognize it and can’t write it anymore. It’s so magical.
Ye Tian took a long breath after putting down the brush, rubbed his sore and slightly trembling wrist and smiled at Yun Jing: "Brother Yun, I practiced twenty characters today and wrote each character three hundred times.
Does it disappoint you?"
He used his mind power to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to help nourish his sore wrists. Yun Jing said: "I thought you would complain and get tired after practicing for a long time, so I was ready to push you. I never thought you would grit your teeth and persevere."
Feeling the cool and refreshing feeling on his arms, Ye Tian asked in surprise: "Brother Yun, did you do this?"
After receiving Yun Jing's nod and affirmation, Ye Tian knew that his brother Yun was extraordinary, so he didn't care. He continued: "I still remember what brother Yun said back then. He is down-to-earth, step by step, and the opportunity to learn is rare. How many people in the world ask for
But if I can’t, how can I dare to be tired?”
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "Having said that, don't torture yourself too much. Today I just want to see your character. Don't do it again in the future. It is hard to write for a long time, but after a long time, it will damage your arms.
The damage is very serious, and there is even a possibility of being discarded. Don't be careless. Let me give you a suggestion. When you practice calligraphy in the future, stop and take a break every half an hour, look at the mountains and rivers, and move your arms.
What do you think?"
"I listen to Brother Yun." Ye Tian, who regarded him as a relative, agreed without hesitation. He knew that Brother Yun would not harm him.
Fang Yueyue, who had stopped practicing martial arts, came over and poured Ye Tian a cup of tea. She sat by the side with her little hand on her chin and listened to their chat.
She is not a scholar, but after watching this afternoon, she realized deeply that studying is actually more tiring than practicing martial arts. At the same time, she also realized that it is no wonder that the status of scholars is so much higher than that of martial arts practitioners. It is not unreasonable.
Nodding, Yunjing said: "From now on, just do as I say. Practice calligraphy for two hours every morning and evening, and relax the rest of the time. Knowledge cannot be achieved by just working hard. Study hard."
, you will only learn to become a nerd.”
Ye Tian didn't have any idea about these, so he didn't bother with them. Instead, he asked out of curiosity: "Brother Yun, how long does it take to practice calligraphy before you are good at it?"
With a dumb smile, Yun Jing seemed to have returned to the time when he asked his master this question ten years ago.
He said: "It's hard to say when you will reach the end of practicing calligraphy. Just like me, I have never stopped practicing calligraphy since I was in school. I insist on writing every day. I still feel that there is room for improvement and I don't dare to feel tired at all. Maybe I am very tired.
I can’t feel any progress for a day and a half, but as long as I persist, I will always gain something.”
After a pause, Yunjing continued: "I can't give you an answer to your question. Let's put it this way. When you practice calligraphy and wear out a thousand brushes, your handwriting should be barely readable."
Li Qiu also said this to Yun Jing at the beginning, not because he wanted Ye Tian to feel this kind of pain, but it was the fact.
Without similar accumulation and experience, how can we achieve anything?
"That's it, I understand. I will work hard to practice calligraphy and polish off a thousand brushes in the future." Ye Tian nodded seriously.
Yun Jing shook his head and said: "It's a normal calligraphy practice. You have to write every stroke carefully, instead of deliberately tossing the brush. You still have to understand the difference. You don't have to calculate it deliberately. Day by day, month by month.
Year after year, when time passes, you will find that the brushes are wearing out one after another, and your handwriting will become more beautiful day by day. Moreover, a thousand brushes is only a short-term goal. As for the long-term, the handwriting in the hands of readers is
It will last a lifetime. As long as you live, the pen in your hand cannot stop."
"Brother Yun, don't worry, I will remember what you said, and I will definitely do what you said," Ye Tian said seriously.
"I'm just reminding you, giving you a way forward, don't be too deliberate, and you have your own life, you can't just do whatever I say." When he said this, seeing his disapproval, Yun Jing
He didn't get entangled, but said happily: "Speaking of which, you will have to suffer in the future. Practicing calligraphy is a very painful thing. The calluses on your hands will fall off again and again. Anyway, you, Brother Yun,
This is how I got here, work hard, there is still a long way to go.”
"I'm not afraid. In fact, I'm not afraid of Brother Yun's jokes. I also know that I'm not very smart. I can't go wrong if I follow the path that Brother Yun has walked. It will definitely be better than just thinking about it on my own." Ye Tianrao
He scratched his head.
If you are not smart, just follow the example of smart people. Brother Yun is so smart, and he is right in his designation. I don’t want to reach his height, but it doesn’t mean I have no goals.
No longer entangled in these, Yunjing said: "You started later than others, so you need to work harder than others. I will give you a suggestion for the time being. In terms of knowledge, I will try my best to teach you. What about yourself?
, before you get the title of scholar, and before you wear out a thousand brushes, try not to get distracted by practicing martial arts, what do you think?"
Thinking that it would not be difficult for him to pass the exam as a scholar, Yunjing simply gave him an additional condition, so that he would not be fooled by his entire reputation as a scholar.
As for Ye Tian's martial arts training in the future, Yun Jing is not worried about it. If he practices martial arts, he might just take off in a spiral on the spot. He is so unreasonable anyway!
"I have no problem," Ye Tian said indifferently.
Although Fang Yueyue next to her had never seen Yun Jing take action, she knew that educated scholars have sharp eyesight and knowledge, so she took the time to ask: "Brother Yun, I don't know much about reading, but practicing martial arts
If so, can you give me some advice?"
"Sister Fang, you have many experts in your family, I'm afraid it's not my turn to give you advice, right?" Yun Jing said dumbly.
In Zhengqi Villa, there is more than one true artistic conception. Fang Yueyue obviously has a high status. Yunjing said this, but he did not mean to shirk it.
Smiling, Fang Yueyue said: "Brother Yun, don't get me wrong. I really want you to give me some advice. When I saw you giving me some advice, even though I didn't understand it, I thought it was very powerful, so I'll listen to you."
There should be nothing wrong with what I said. After all, everyone’s advice is a rare and valuable experience.”
This girl is good at talking. Yun Jing said with a smile: "Since you don't mind it, let me tell you my humble opinion. Regarding martial arts, I am only in the late stage of acquiring martial arts. The journey of martial arts can be said to be in its infancy. I will give you my profound opinions.
I'll just talk about my own humble opinion. I won't go into too much detail about your family's situation. I think you won't be short of martial arts secrets and the like, and you won't be short of people to give you guidance. What I want to say is, lay a good foundation, don't
Greed for more, there is no strongest martial arts in the world, only the strongest person. In other words, if you are good at one martial arts and practice sincerely until you reach perfection, then once you have mastered it, it will be much easier to practice other martial arts.
You can also avoid many detours. The so-called chewing off more than you can chew, blindly pursuing superior martial arts, no matter how much you learn, your achievements will be limited, and you will always fall behind the inferior ones."
Nodding thoughtfully, Fang Yueyue said: "Although I don't quite understand what Brother Yun said, I can still feel that it contains profound truth. Thanks to Brother Yun, I know what to do."
"You're welcome. I'm just talking casually. You still have to work hard on your own after all. If you have any confusion in martial arts in the future, just ask me. If I can help you solve your confusion, I will never refuse. Okay, it's getting dark soon.
, let’s eat, and then go take a rest early after washing up. You are all still growing..."
In this era, adults don’t have many entertainment activities at night, so what do children want to do if they don’t sleep?
After dinner, they all went to bed, but Yunjing was not idle. It was not that he wanted to find Angelica dahurica or Su Xiaoye flowers, but he flew to the Li River and went along the lower reaches.
He promised Ye Tian and the others that he would take them to see the giant python if they had the chance. He kept this in mind and would always fulfill his promise.
It is one thing for a scholar to make a promise that has not been said. Once he has made a promise, he must keep it. The so-called promise of a thousand dollars is not just talk.
He remembered that the giant python went along the lower reaches of the Li River. Time had not passed too long, and it was not difficult to find it. After all, his telepathic scan was like turning on the perspective radar.
However, what makes Yunjing strange is that he has been flying along the lower reaches for half a night, more than ten thousand miles, and although he has not reached the end of the Lijiang River, he has not found the slightest trace of the giant python!
"It is impossible for such a huge python to disappear. Having said that, although the range of my telekinesis is more than ten kilometers, it cannot cover the entire both sides of the Li River. I might have missed it somewhere. Besides, the Li River has tributaries, and there are thousands of them.
It has gone to other places. It seems that it takes some effort to find it. It’s not a big problem. I have enough time anyway.”
Thinking like this, Yunjing flew back and continued to search. That thing would be troublesome if it lived in the water. It would be difficult to find the traces left behind. It would be much easier if it appeared on the ground. It is so big and the traces should not be too obvious.
, you can find it by following the traces.
After most of the night, Yunjing couldn't find the giant python, so he didn't worry about it. He went back to rest first, and then he would look for it slowly. There was no rush for a day or two.
When he went back, Yunjing caught two crabs as big as a basin. He wanted to use them for breakfast tomorrow, but he let them go because in this season, all things give birth to babies...
Early the next morning, Yunjing got up and read a book, and Ye Tian and the others also got up consciously and started a new day of life.
They each worked hard all morning, had lunch, rested for a while, and continued to work on their own things. They wanted to combine work and rest. At noon, Yunjing took Ye Tian and the others to visit Qingjiang City.
"No, why is it so difficult for you to find someone? It's only been a day, Qingjiang City is so big, and you've spent a lot of money on it, but you haven't found even one person for me?" Jinshan was confused.
I was so depressed that I even ate half a bowl of rice.
The scolded servant said anxiously: "Master, it's not that we don't work hard, we really tried our best. We have taken care of the beggars, restaurants, and even the government officials in the city, but there is no news."
"How can a living person fly to the sky?" Jinshan said speechlessly.
The servant who was being questioned lowered his head and said: "Master, the person you are looking for is not a local after all, and he is here to take the exam. It is really difficult to find a place to study hard without going out."
"I understand the truth, but you can't think of a solution? My patience is limited. I'll give you two more days. If you can't find it, go back by yourself. If someone else comes in, you can't do even the smallest thing. I want you to
What's the use?" Jinshan waved his hand displeasedly.
After the servants left, he thought to himself that if he behaved more coquettishly, he would be able to dispel many people's concerns. After all, his family was too rich. If he behaved too smart, he would be easily criticized by all sides.
Suppressive.
"Even if you have money, you can do whatever you want, but if you are too rich, the pressure will be great. If you have as much money as my family..., if you are not careful, you will be a fat pig at the mercy of others," Jinshan said melancholy.
His family is so rich that it can be described as being as rich as the country. It is really not an exaggeration at all. If nothing else, as for the auction of the painting last year, even the emperor could not compete with his family.
From this point you can see the whole thing at a glance.
Of course, his family's property spans many countries, and he knows very well that eggs cannot be placed in one basket. Even if a certain dynasty's property is suppressed by the government, it can still be transferred to other countries.
Spreading the industry also has the purpose of using multiple countries to check and balance each other. If only one country is rich enough to rival others, it is simply a recipe for death!
Because they are so rich, the Jin family actively participates in good deeds and often does evil things. Anyway, they have both good and bad reputations, so they are not so good that people are afraid of them, and they are not so bad that they are attacked by the crowd.
To the Jin family, these four words "wealthy and unparalleled" are like a fire. If you control it well, it will shine in all directions. If you don't control it well, it will be burned to the ground.
The troubles of rich people are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"I show off, I'm a dandy, I'm arrogant, that's not the real me, but reality is forcing me to be like this. What can I do? If I don't work hard to go home along the Silver Sea in San Francisco, I can only live like someone else.
What I want to see”
After a period of 'self-reflection', he found that he couldn't pretend to be awesome at the moment, so he could only hold it in, and then he decided to go out and spend money. Anyway, he just needed to set up a group of people with stupid people and lots of money.
Tonight, everyone’s consumption at the best brothel in Qingjiang City will be paid by Mr. Jin!
Jin Shan, who was rushing out of the house with crowds in front and behind, said in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that the flower boat on which he was thrown off the ship had already been bought by him. He had no other intentions and was free to do as he pleased.
When he bought the flower boat, he didn't do anything to those people at the time. He just pretended to be in front of them and asked them if they still remembered him.
It's cool, but it's actually quite boring.
Speaking of which, when he bought the flower boat, he was so pretentious that he actually made a profit later on, not losing at all. Who can he ask to explain this kind of thing?
It is difficult for people to make money, but it is so easy to make money.
At noon, Ye Tian and the others walked around the city. In the afternoon, Yunjing and the others returned to the small courtyard to learn what martial arts they should practice.
At night, Yunjing continued to look for the giant python, but what made him depressed was that he still couldn't find it in the middle of the night.
Yunjing, who couldn't find the strange beast, was thinking that he would be as lucky as Ye Tian, but unfortunately, people are different.
I’m not forcing it, just take your time.
At noon the next day, Yunjing was reading under the tree in the courtyard, while Ye Tian and Fang Yueyue went out for a stroll to relax. After they came back, Yunjing heard Ye Tian shout: "Brother Yun, Brother Yun, has appeared. I heard someone
It was said that the strange beast python appeared fifty miles upstream, and many people rushed there."
Yunjing: "..."
Why did that guy go upstream? I've been lonely in the downstream for the past two nights?
And Ye Tian’s luck is truly enviable.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing stood up and said, "In that case, let's take a half-day vacation and take you to see that strange beast, the giant python. Let's make an agreement first and just take a look at it from a distance. We should come back after seeing it."
What are you doing?”
"Okay, okay", the two children nodded quickly.
Then Fang Yueyue said tangledly: "It's a pity that Xiaoqing has gone back to deliver a letter. He won't be back for at least ten days. Otherwise, we can ride Xiaoqing and fly over to see the giant python now."
"It's okay Yueyue, since the strange beast has appeared, people will not let it go easily. It can't run away. We just need to follow the others to see it." Ye Tian seemed to know what she was thinking and comforted.
Fang Yueyue smiled sweetly and said: "Well, Brother Ye is right."
Yunjing secretly thought that Ye Tiandu had said so, and that giant python, a strange beast, would definitely not be able to escape.
On the other side, Jinshan's servants rushed to report: "Master, you asked the inquirer to find out. It's in an inconspicuous yard in the south of the city, but you asked the inquirer to find the giant python. Let's start with it."
Where to go?"
Oh, double happiness. Jin Shan pondered for a moment and said: "I'm not interested in strange beasts or anything like that. I mainly want to go and meet my friends. Let's go and take everything I prepared with me."
Saying Jinshan, he walked out. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He really looked forward to taking out the treasures without leaving a trace. What kind of face would that guy look like?
As for strange beasts or something like that, we have money, how can it still run away? No matter life or death, just throw money at it, and when the time comes, someone will bring me here, I want to take care of it!
