At the critical moment of life and death, he could rely on Sangsang, but not Sangsang.
Ning Que sat by the window and watched the little girl in a daze. He wondered if he really had to go to the front shop to get close to the brush, ink, paper and inkstone to decide on a Natal Item. But the brush he was used to was a brush, not a judge's pen, the ink was pine ink instead of stone, the inkstone was mud, and the paper was bud paper. How could he use them to make weapons? Moreover, these were the things of scholars. It would be inappropriate to let the brush, ink, paper and inkstone fly all over the sky to fight with cultivators.
When thinking about these difficult questions, he held something in his hand and kept playing with it. There was too much silver in the Old Brush Pen Shop. Sangsang had used to spread silver all over the bed, and most of them had been exchanged for notes. Notes were not as good as silver ingots, so he kept a new piece of snowflake silver and played with it every day. The snowflake silver was slightly cool and smooth, and it was much more comfortable than those peach stones and stone balls for a poor lad who suddenly got rich.
In the following time, Ning Que kept a clear and kind heart and kept trying to find a Natal Item that matched his Psyche Power. During this period, he successfully made the candle shake and extinguish, and also made a corner of the paper on the wardrobe fly away. But he still could not find a suitable one. This situation lasted until late at night.
The cicadas chirped, and the summer heat was not weak. The dim, bean-sized candle on the table was constantly releasing endless heat. The master and his servant, who were wearing thin robes, sat at the table and stared at each other. They did not speak for a long time.
Sangsang rested her head on her arms and leaned on the edge of the table. She opened her willowy eyes and stared at the slowly moving silver ingot on the table. She said firmly, "Young master, although this piece of silver does respond strongly to your Psyche Power, I still firmly oppose it. What if you throw it out in a fight and can't take it back? An ingot of silver is 20 taels. We will lose all our family property in a few years. "
…
…
The next day, Ning Que went to the Academy and stayed in the old library until late at night. He waited for the bookshelf to move and Chen Pipi came out. Ning Que sprung up from the ground and told Chen Pipi about his experience in Lin 47th Street. Then he asked a question that seemed very important to him, "Why can't I remember the contents of these books?"
"Didn't Senior Sister Yu tell you? The cultivation books in the old library were all written by former Grand Cultivators with Psyche Power. Every character in the books was the best of the Divine Talisman Master. Only when you enter the upper state of Seethrough can you see through the hidden meaning. You are still far away from that state. "
Ning Que thought of the female professor's reminder to himself and Xie Chengyun that day. He scratched his head and sighed. He suddenly thought and looked at Chen Pipi and asked, "Then you … are you in the upper state of Seethrough state?"
Chen asked. "No." Chen's answer was very indifferent, and did not look.
Ning Que now knew the temperament of his peer very well. Because of his calm expression, Ning Que guessed that his real state should be above the upper grade of Seethrough. He could not help but feel shocked. He thought that Mr. Lyu Qingchen only stepped into the Seethrough state when he was old and weak, but the fat lad in front of him had already surpassed the Seethrough state and entered the Knowing Destiny State!
"So young … you … are really a peerless genius." He looked at Chen Pipi's big round face and sighed with admiration. "Although you don't look like a genius, and you don't look like a Grand Cultivator in Knowing Destiny State."
Chen Pipi was speechless and did not know how to respond. He thought, "Are you admiring me or mocking me?"
Knowing that this guy was actually a Grand Cultivator in the Knowing Destiny State, Ning Que was in awe. He always felt that he was talking to a sage-like old man with a white beard. He said respectfully, "I say … Genius Brother, since you are such a genius, you must be able to solve my dyslexia. Please give me more advice."
His voice was gentle and sweet, and his flattery was not hidden. It seemed that Chen Pipi really liked it. He smiled proudly and said, "The characters need to be seen as a whole, because each character is a world with its own soul. You can avoid being hurt by the meaning of the characters by deconstructing them with the Eight Strokes Calligraphy of Yong. But you can only see some fragments of this world, and naturally can't be stored in the spiritual world. If it's an ordinary person, he won't be able to understand these books if he hasn't reached the superior level of Seethrough. But in my opinion, you might really be able to find some side roads, and this road still lies in your Yong Eight Characters Method. "
Ning Que moved to his side and put on a posture of listening attentively.
"You are good at calligraphy. You can use the Eight Strokes Calligraphy of Yong to deconstruct these characters into strokes. You can try to remember the order and number of strokes unintentionally. Then when you leave the old library, you can use the method of writing to recombine them in your consciousness. In this way, the characters are still the same characters, but they have already got rid of the meaning above the structure given by the Divine Talisman Master who copied the books."
Ning Que seemed to be thinking.
Chen Pipi reminded him, "I just put forward a possibility. Whether it will succeed or not, you still need to carry out countless attempts. The final result may be successful, or not."
"It's better to have a try than to have no way at all." Ning Que suddenly thought of the attempt he made according to the method taught by Chen Pipi last night. He stood up excitedly and took out a flint to light a candle. Then he put the candle on the table by the west window and returned to the original place, saying, "Look at the result of my practice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle and index fingers of his right hand formed a sword. He waved his arm and stabbed the candle on the table from afar. His Psyche Power seeped out of his body and controlled the Qi of Heaven and Earth to follow his fingertips.
There was no sound of thunder, nor was there any great movement of heaven and earth. The dim candle on the table swayed a few times before quickly returning to its calm state. It was as if it had only been blown by a few strands of summer wind that had leaked in through the west window.
Chen Pipi frowned. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Weak."
After a night of hard work and sensing the objects in the courtyard, he finally developed such an ability. But in the end, he only got a faint word from his companion. Although he knew that Chen Pipi was a cultivation genius and his current state was as dim as the candle on the table in front of him, Ning Que still felt a little unhappy. He took out a piece of silver and slammed it on the floor in front of them. He said angrily, "Look at this first and then make a comment."
After a moment, Chen Pipi widened his eyes and stared at the slowly moving silver ingot on the floor. He said incredulously, "This feeling is not bad … I say, how greedy are you? How much do you like silver? "
Ning Que forcibly suppressed the pride in his heart and rubbed between his eyebrows that were stuffy because of the excessive output of Psyche Power. He said calmly and carelessly, "I'm not greedy. Brother Silver knows that I pity them."
"In other words, these silver know that you're stingy and don't want to spend them. That's why they responded to your Psyche Power with joy? You're not just weak, you're so weak! "
Chen Pipi looked at him with a sneer and said, "If you want to cultivate the silver ingot into your Natal Item, it's up to you. Although I haven't seen any cultivator play like this before, I have to remind you that you've already used all your strength. This silver ingot can only struggle for a while like a dead white maggot. What's the use of it?"
…
…
After another wasted midnight, Chen Pipi returned to the back of the mountain from the old library. Stepping on the stone path that was shrouded in fog, he could not help but sigh when he thought that he had wasted precious cultivation time on that guy.
The night fog in front of the stone path suddenly dispersed, and a tall figure suddenly appeared. Although it was deep in the night and the vision was extremely dark, one could still clearly see that this person's black hair was combed very neatly, and the golden silk ribbon on his waist did not move an inch. The rather ancient hat on his head was as still as the eaves of a palace hall.
"Why did you go to the old library every night these days? Which book in the library can't you remember and have to read at night? Don't tell me that you went to check the ancient Zhou Rites Classics again. "
Chen Pipi looked at his most respected Second Brother, bowed with a bitter face, and reported truthfully, "Senior Brother, I went to the old library because I met a friend in the front yard. So I went to chat with him."
"Hmm …" Second Brother said with appreciation, "A gentleman's friendship depends on sincerity, regardless of the state. Although you are a classmate in the front yard, you are still a classmate. It's worth a reward for you to overcome your habit of sleeping and eating to accompany him. But you should remember the rules of the Academy. You'd better not talk nonsense."
"No way!" Chen Pipi raised his head and cried out. "Don't you know how timid I am, Second Brother? How dare I leak any information to the classmates in the front yard? We just talked about some math questions. "
Hearing the words "math questions", Second Brother, who looked serious and square, suddenly thought of the question that Chen Pipi brought back to the back mountain one day. Thinking of the painful time he spent day and night in the room thinking hard about math behind the back of his Junior Brothers and Sisters, his eyebrows and eyes trembled a few times, which was very rare. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "So it's that guy."
Because he didn't want to recall that painful time, and he didn't want to think of the number of answers that he couldn't write down even though there were piles of paper in the room, Second Brother turned around and went to the stone ground with a gloomy face.
Chen Pipi thought of something and quickened his pace to catch up with Second Brother. Panting, he followed Second Brother and said, "Second Brother, there's something I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"There's a guy with very poor cultivation potential. Out of the seventeen acupoints in the Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow, he only opened ten acupoints. Fourteen days ago, he was barely able to sense the Breath of Heaven and Earth and enter the Initial Awareness State. But now he is inexplicably able to perceive foreign objects, and he even has one foot in the No Doubts State. Is he … a genius?"
Second Brother suddenly stopped and looked back at Chen Pipi coldly. He guessed that Chen Pipi was talking about the juvenile classmate in the front yard. After frowning for a moment, he replied with great certainty, "Of course … he is not a genius."
"Why?"
"From the Initial Awareness State to the Perception State and then to the No Doubts State in 14 days … There can't be such a genius in the world. This kind of person can only be a monster, because it took me 15 days to complete this process."
When Second Brother said this, there was no complacency or pride on his face, but the hidden meaning in his words was extremely proud and confident. It took him 15 days to break through three states, so it was impossible for anyone in the world to do the same thing in less than 15 days.
Looking at Second Brother's neat black hair, Chen Pipi's heart was full of respect and admiration. He thought that it took him 17 days to break through three states after taking the Heavenly Power Pill. Second Brother was enlightened in a rural place like Linquan Town, where there was neither a wise teacher nor a Taoist sect, but it only took him 15 days. He was really more vigorous than a peerless cultivation genius like himself. Chen Pipi praised and asked curiously, "What about Eldest Brother?"
"Eldest Brother … he is also a monster." Second Brother seemed to recall some old pain. He stretched his hands to his head and adjusted his slightly tilted ancient hat. He said solemnly, "Eldest Brother was enlightened at the age of 13, and then he was in a daze at the back of the mountain of the Academy for 17 years before he understood the meaning of the No Doubts State."
"He entered the No Doubts State at the age of 30?" Chen Pipi said incredulously, "Eldest Brother is too …"
Second Brother looked back at him and said disdainfully, "Too what? Too stupid? Eldest Brother reached the No Doubts State at the age of 30, but it only took him three months to understand the Seethrough State. Of course, at that time, I was already at the upper grade of the Seethrough State. "
After saying this, he was silent for a long time. Then he looked up at the night fog between the mountain path and sighed deeply. He said, "That day, Eldest Brother understood the Seethrough State in the morning, and entered the Knowing Destiny State by watching the sunset clouds in the evening. He passed the most exquisite two states in one night. The teacher praised him at that time, saying that he understood the Tao in the morning and entered the Tao in the evening. I am no match for him."
In the night fog on the mountain path, the voice faded away. Second Brother of the Academy and Chen Pipi, who claimed to be geniuses and were indeed geniuses, were silent for a long time when they recalled the moment when the scholar showed his face under the sunset clouds.
The road of cultivation in the world was long and the higher one went, the more difficult it was to climb. Many cultivators who were regarded as geniuses at a young age could reach the Initial Awareness State and Perception State at the age of five or six, and entered the No Doubts State or even the Seethrough State at the age of 16 or 17. However, once they entered the Seethrough State, it was like falling into a swamp, and it was difficult for them to make any progress for decades.
But Eldest Brother of the Academy, who only entered the No Doubts State at the age of 30, was not talented or smart, and even seemed a little stupid. But he could understand the Seethrough State in three months, and the most terrifying thing was that he entered the Seethrough State and Knowing Destiny State in one day. This kind of Creation was really incredible, and there might not be another person like him in the whole cultivation world.
After a long time, Second Brother looked at Chen Pipi and said calmly, "Eldest Brother is gentle and kind, and a real gentleman. He accumulated a lot of experience, and once he was enlightened, he soared to the sky. His accumulation is so deep that you and I can't reach it."
Chen Pipi nodded repeatedly. He was in awe of Second Brother, who was strict and solemn, but both of them were extremely proud and congenial, so he knew some stories about Second Brother. Tonight was the first time that he knew that Eldest Brother, who was gentle and generous to his subordinates and respectful to his teacher, wore an old robe, held an old book, and tied a water ladle, and looked more like a servant of the Academy, turned out to be such an extraordinary person. He could not help but nervously start to reflect on himself. In the two years before Eldest Brother traveled with his teacher, did he ever show off in front of Eldest Brother shamelessly?
