It was still night when he woke up from the dream. Ning Que wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat on the bed. He looked at Sangsang who was sleeping soundly beside him and subconsciously reached out his fingers to smooth her frowning eyebrows. Then he fell into deep thought.
It was meaningless to think about this strange and frightening dream. After a moment of silence, he threw the content of the dream to the back of his mind and did not even want to recall it. He got out of bed and poured himself a cup of cold tea. Listening to the loud discussion of the neighbors in the narrow alley behind the house, he realized that it was still early and everyone was still enjoying the cool air.
"What the eyes see and what the heart feels is the projection of the primordial energy of all things in the world on his soul. And the purer and purer the will that this cultivator obtains through meditation, the more concentrated and powerful the primordial energy he feels will be."
He was too excited during the day and completely calmed down now. Thinking of what Lyu Qingchen said on the journey, he realized that he had forgotten the most important question — how much Qi of Heaven and Earth did he feel when he entered the Initial Awareness State? Was it a puddle of rain, a stream, a shallow pond, or a big river or … a sea?
It was not the first time that he entered the Initial Awareness State. He did not know whether the world of Qi of Heaven and Earth he felt was a real projection. After thinking for a moment, Ning Que slowly closed his eyes and calmly put his hands on his knees. He re-entered the state of meditation and transmitted his thoughts to the Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow, and then spread them out of his body.
After a while, the cautious meditation in the spiritual world transitioned to the perception in the real world. He opened his eyes and stretched out his right hand in the air, as if he wanted to catch the faint candlelight. At this time, he once again confirmed that he could clearly feel the aura in the eaves, walls, and air, and shockingly confirmed that what he felt was …
"I think it's a sea, a peaceful sea."
Lyu Qingchen once said, "The most powerful cultivator in the world today, Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword from South Jin Kingdom, who was regarded as the most likely to break through the Five States, sensed a surging Yellow River at the beginning of his awakening." At that time, Ning Que once said, "If one could sense a sea, would he be a cultivation genius more powerful than the Sage of Sword from South Jin Kingdom?"
For more than ten years, he ate, gambled, read, wrote, slept, rode, killed, and set fires. He kept meditating. The amount of Psyche Power in the young man's spiritual world was huge and extremely pure. As ten of the seventeen acupoints in the Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow were opened, the accumulated Psyche Power finally found a channel and was played into a sonorous and powerful music.
The Breath of Heaven and Earth sensed this tune. Although there weren't many holes on the flute, and the song seemed a little sluggish, it could feel the power contained in every note of the song.
However, this power was so concentrated that the Breath of Heaven and Earth faintly rejected it. If the Breath of Heaven and Earth that Ning Que sensed was like a sea, then the Psyche Power that he used to sense the Breath of Heaven and Earth was like a well-tempered iron needle. His Psyche Power was extremely small, but extremely hard and sharp.
The sharp iron needle gently fell into the sea. It didn't make any waves, nor did it make any sound. It easily and silently passed through the boundless deep water, and then slowly and silently fell into the dark abyss.
Ning Que didn't know these specific problems, nor did he want to think about any negative things. He was like a boy who had cried for his mother's thigh for half a year and finally got a new toy that he wanted for a long time. He spent the whole night meditating and then releasing his psyche, feeling the new and wonderful aura.
His palm kept shaking in the air, trying to catch the dim candlelight in the shack and influence the pea-sized candle on the table. Although he failed, it didn't affect his interest at all. He was still in high spirits.
Strangely, when he left the Old Brush Pen Shop the next morning, he didn't look haggard because he didn't sleep all night. Instead, he looked very energetic and healthy. Maybe it was because he was in high spirits when he encountered a happy event?
…
…
Ning Que came to the Academy by horse carriage. Looking at the green meadow, the lush green trees, the flowing clouds on the mountain, the beautiful morning light in the east, and the black and white buildings and eaves covered by the clouds, Ning Que always felt that the world in his eyes was coated with a beautiful halo. The originally very beautiful mountain of the Academy looked even more charming, and he was so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud.
Because he was in a good mood, he changed his usual gentle and alienated temperament and took the initiative to greet his classmate who just got off the horse carriage and was holding a pancake in one hand and a book in the other. However, the atmosphere in the Academy today was a little strange. To be more precise, the atmosphere surrounding Ning Que was a little strange. His classmates did not seem to be in the mood to exchange pleasantries with him. In the distance, some students even gathered in a group and pointed at him with disdain.
Ning Que walked into Classroom Three in bewilderment. Then, he was surprised to find that the classmates he was more familiar with in the study room were behaving strangely as well. They were all looking at him strangely. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded to Situ Yilan who was sitting in the front row, and then walked to his seat.
Situ Yilan lowered her head to look at the review paper for the mathematics class yesterday and didn't seem to see his movement. However, when he walked past her, she looked back and sighed at Ning Que's back.
"I've taken two days off, but why do I feel that everyone is looking at me differently?"
Ning Que sat down and looked at Chu Youxian beside him. He asked with a smile, "Does everyone know that I jumped off the cliff and have an adventure, so they are jealous and hate me?"
This was naturally a naughty joke, but the cheerful Chu Youxian didn't have a smile on his face. He stared at Ning Que's face and said seriously, "You really don't know what happened?"
"I don't know." Ning Que spread out his hands and said innocently, "The Empire is attacking the Northern Yan again? Today is the etiquette class, and the instructor is a Yan with a bad temper. That is indeed worth worrying about. "
"Isn't it a little inappropriate to make a joke at this time?"
Chu Youxian looked at him and sighed. He said, "The whole Academy, from instructors to students, is staring at the semester exam the day before yesterday. They want to see who will win the bet between you and Xie Chengyun. Who can think that the final result is that he got A + in five subjects, while you didn't take the exam. This is why you think everyone is so strange."
Ning Que was slightly stunned. After being reminded, he remembered what happened that morning after Xie Chengyun and other Grade A Dormitory students broke into Grade C Dormitory, and remembered that the semester exam in the bet had ended the day before yesterday.
What was he doing at that time? At that time, he was leaning against the wall on the second floor of the old library, with an invisible spear in his chest and unconscious. He was accompanied by a bowl of water and two cold steamed buns, waiting for death.
"The semester exam was the day before yesterday. I really forgot. But I remember that I asked a female professor to ask for leave for me. "
Ning Que explained with a smile.
In his opinion, it was a very childish and funny thing to use the results of the semester exam as a yardstick for the gambling fight with Xie Chengyun. At that time, he only agreed to it because of the anger of Situ Yilan and Grade C Dormitory students.
Now that he missed the semester exam and the bet because of other things, it was indeed a pity to miss the opportunity to attack the pretentious arrogance of Xie Chengyun. But in any case, he would not lament, beat his chest and stamp his feet, cry on the table, and pretend to be a senior in Grade Three who forgot to get the admission ticket.
In the quiet and serious morning of the semester exam in the Academy, he killed a strong cultivator in the lakeside house and spent a very mysterious time on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. He went back and forth between life and death several times. He encountered the biggest crisis and the biggest luck in his 16 years of life. Compared with these things, these personal disputes were nothing.
"The problem is that you asked for leave." Chu Youxian looked at him expressionlessly and said, "As long as you take part in the semester exam, even if the final result is bad and you are far from being Xie Chengyun's opponent, no one will have any opinions on you. There is no reason to win an exam. You were asked to fight that day just to show your courage … But no one thought that you would be so afraid that you even dare not to take the exam. This is too troublesome."
Ning Que listened to these words and could not help but be slightly startled. After a moment, he said with a smile, "What do you mean? Do I have to go straight to the examination room with my sick body, with a pale face and struggling to move the pen to take the exam? Do I have courage when I answer every question and only answer half of the questions, the snow-white paper is all dyed red, and then I die because of blood loss? "
His words were interesting, but there was also an extremely sharp and angry tone to them.
"Are you really sick?" Chu Youxian felt the anger hidden in his tone and said after being startled, "But looking at your ruddy face now, who will believe you?"
Then he sighed and said, "Yesterday the results of the semester exam were announced. Linchuan Wang Ying got an A + in one subject, and the other five A + were all obtained by Xie Chengyun. I heard that he was stimulated by you these months and studied very hard."
"Now there is a rumor in the Academy that you know you are not Xie Chengyun's opponent, but you are not willing to lose to him, so you came up with the idea of asking for sick leave to stop the fight."
Ning Que frowned and said, "It is shameful to retreat without a fight, not to mention to avoid a fight. Although I feel that this semester exam gamble is extremely boring, I won't be afraid since I've agreed to it. If it's really as you said, that I'm not sick, but I'm pretending to be sick to avoid the semester exam, isn't that what a coward would do? "
Chu Youxian now really believed that he was really sick the day before yesterday. He looked at him sympathetically and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "I believe you, but the problem is that others, especially those in Grade A Dormitory, will not believe you. In the eyes of them and even most people in the Academy, now you … are a coward."
Ning Que was speechless and could not help shaking his head with a wry smile. There was some anger and unwillingness in his heart, but when he thought of those wonderful feelings last night, he decided not to think about these things anymore. Now he was also a genius student who could cultivate, why should he stoop down to the level of these little kids?
Stare was very simple when it was used as a noun, but it was an action that required both sides to interact when it was used as a verb. He did not want to stare at those classmates who thought he was a coward who avoided the fight, but he could not stop some guys who automatically won because of his withdrawal from the competition to run in front of him and insist on stare at him with verbs.
And this was the origin of most conflicts in all youth idol dramas.
