The no-boundary spirit of the Academy?
Ning Que looked at the wrinkled book in his hand and naturally thought of the opening day of the Second floor of the Academy last spring. He turned around and saw the words "A gentleman is not a tool" on the stone when he climbed down the mountain with difficulty. He could not help frowning and thinking for a long time.
A few days ago, he learned from Second Brother that Prince Long Qing saw the words "A gentleman is not a tool", which was actually a comment made by the Headmaster of the Academy. So the words "A gentleman is not a tool" were undoubtedly left by the Headmaster of the Academy for him, or a warning to his life.
What did the words "A gentleman is not a tool" on the stone mean? What is the connection between this old book and the word 'not a tool'? Did the Headmaster of the Academy foresee that he needed to learn the no-boundary spirit of the Academy in advance?
Ning Que looked out of the cave and asked, "If there is a problem in the book, how can I solve it?"
Chen Pipi said, "I will go up the mountain every ten days. If there is anything you don't understand …"
Ning Que just realized that this was the curriculum arrangement of the Headmaster of the Academy for him, just like Third Sister Yu Lian. He shook his head and said, "You are not Third Sister, so don't be too optimistic. You have to come up the mountain every day, or Sangsang and I will be bored to death."
Chen Pipi said sarcastically, "You want me to come up the mountain with you? Are you begging me? You were so fierce to me before. What can you do to me if I go down the mountain now? "
Ning Que replied, "Then get out of the mountain quickly."
Chen Pipi was really obedient. He turned around and was ready to go down the cliff platform.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at Ning Que in the cave. He was silent for a long time.
Ning Que looked at him with a slightly strange expression.
Chen Pipi suddenly said, "I heard that the Headmaster prepared three books for you to read. If you can't come out after reading all three books, then you may not come out in this life."
Ning Que slightly frowned and asked, "What's the third book?"
Chen Pipi shook his head and said, "No one knows."
After a moment of silence, Ning Que suddenly laughed and said, "If one day it is confirmed that I can't get out, I will have to trouble you to find me a spoon."
Chen Pipi was slightly surprised and asked, "What do you need a spoon for?"
Ning Que pointed to the depths of the dark cliff cave behind him and said, "Give me a spoon, and I can dig a long tunnel directly through the Academy's cliff, mirror lake and mist, and return to the human world."
Chen Pipi felt that there was something wrong with his brain and said sympathetically, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Ning Que knew that he didn't understand what kind of spirit and attitude he was trying to express, but it was enough for him to understand. He lowered his head and began to read the book.
Chen Pipi heaved a sigh and left the cliff plateau slowly and smoothly.
…
…
The metaphysical was known as the Dao, and the metaphysical was known as the tool.
Artifact, artifact.
The Great Dao was not a weapon, it was the Dao of Heaven, it did not care about its specific form.
A gentleman is not a tool, which means that people should not rigidly adhere to some fixed rules.
The two words' not a tool 'meant that they held a condescending, arrogant, and undisciplined attitude towards the rules.
(Note: There are some differences in the original meaning of the word, I chose this one because of the need of the story.)
…
…
Ning Que opened the old book with no words on the cover, and was soon attracted by the contents of the book, and his eyes could no longer leave the paper.
For the rest of the day and night, apart from eating and sleeping, he read and thought. When he got tired of reading one book, or when his mind got stuck in some kind of stagnation, he would switch to another book, and when he could no longer progress in reading this book, he would switch back to the original one. Time passed slowly in this cycle and adjustment.
Sangsang cooked and cleaned, chatted with him when he was tired, and when she had the courage to walk into the cliff cave again, she quietly sat beside him, holding a needle and thread to embroider the soles of shoes.
No matter how the two books helped Ning Que solve his problems and get rid of his life as a prisoner, the knowledge and wisdom of the predecessors in the book were enough to make him feel that he had gained a lot.
The book on the Origin of the Aura of Heaven and Earth made him come across this new world idea for the first time, and then in the following sections, he understood more new sayings.
The so-called Aura of Heaven and Earth was a kind of invisible particle that naturally existed in the wilderness and rivers, which was also called the Qi of Heaven and Earth by cultivators. According to the book, all the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the world originated from the sun in the sky, and only a small part came from the depths of the earth.
These original auras began to show different characteristics as they soaked and washed over time, because of the different things attached to them, and because of the infection of the environment.
For example, the Qi of Heaven and Earth contained in the trees was completely different from the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the stones. However, this difference was extremely subtle in the perception of ordinary cultivators, and it was difficult to be discovered.
Ning Que thought of the feeling when he first saw the Stone Array Tactics of the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine by the Daming Lake, and found that the saying in the book was somewhat different from what his Master Yan Se had said, but it did make some sense.
After thinking for a moment, he took out several pieces of Fu paper and cast them one by one. Looking at the fire and water mist in front of him, he used his Psyche Power to carefully perceive the difference between them, and then carefully recorded what he learned on the paper.
In the afternoon, after eating, he put the bowl beside him casually, and began to cast Fu again to experience the subtle difference between the Qi of Heaven and Earth. When he was free in the Old Brush Pen Shop, he would write Fu for leisure. Although the power of Fu was still weak, he had saved a lot of Fu paper, which was more than enough for experiments.
This time he cast a Water Fu.
The yellowish Fu paper disappeared in the air, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the cliff cave slowly converged and condensed into a handful of water, and then fell to the ground, falling right into the bowl.
The water rippled in the bowl for a few times, and then became calm.
Ning Que looked at the gradually muddy water in the bowl, and thoughtfully opened the book that described the no-boundary spirit of the Academy beside him, and began to compare it with some contents in the book.
Then, he cast a water talisman and let the water fall on the ground. He stared at the water that gradually disappeared along the cracks of the stone, like countless transparent earthworms.
The bowl was an utensil, the cracks of the stones were utensils, and even the Vault of Heaven and Field was just a large utensil.
When the water fell into the bowl, it was a semicircle. When it fell into the cracks of the stones, it was a transparent earthworm. When it was released by the clouds, it was a bead curtain. When it flowed into the field, it was countless tiny particles.
The water itself had no shape, and it only had shape because of the utensil that carried it.
This was the real no-boundary spirit.
Was the Qi of Heaven and Earth like this kind of existence?
It was easy to draw such an inference. Looking at the book, Ning Que did not feel proud at all, and tried to find the connection between this inference and the inhibition of the cliff cave.
After a long time, he woke up from his meditation, and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. Then he noticed that Sangsang had come to him, and was embroidering there.
"I remember before I went to the Wilderness, you said that your embroidery was so bad that you didn't want people in Chang 'an to see it, so you gave your needles and thread to Xiaocao. Where did this come from?"
Ning Que asked.
Sangsang raised her head and scratched her temple with the end of the needle. She said, "I asked Seventh Sister for this yesterday when I went down the mountain. I have to find something to do to kill time."
Ning Que thought that she was really bored staying on the cliff plateau. Then he suddenly thought of something, and handed over the book of no-boundary spirit in his hand. He said, "You can read it when you are bored."
Sangsang was slightly startled and said, "Can I read it too?"
These two books were the Academy's treasured supreme arts. They must have been carefully selected by the Headmaster for his little disciple, and the common people could not read them. Logically speaking, Ning Que should not let Sangsang read them, but he had long been used to sharing all the good things with Sangsang, and even ranked her ahead of himself.
The most important thing was that he had been poor and afraid since childhood, so he was stingy. Now he no longer worried about money, but he still subconsciously wanted to take advantage of others.
Ning Que said, "This is a good thing. You will suffer a loss if you don't read it."
Sangsang felt it was indeed a pity and said, "But I can't understand it."
Ning Que said, "Even the Great Divine Priest of Light, that shameless swindler, wants to accept you as his successor. You must be very talented in cultivation, maybe even better than me and Chen Pipi. You have been following me all these years, but I have not thought of exploring this side of you. Maybe a cultivation genius has been buried."
Sangsang laughed and said, "You are making fun of me again."
Ning Que said, "Never mind that. We will take advantage of you if you read it."
Sangsang thought it made sense. She took the book and began to read it carefully.
Ning Que continued to read the book. The more he read, the more he felt that it was reasonable for the West-Hill Divine Palace to seal this book. Because this book actually included the Qi of Heaven and Earth absorbed by the Devil's Doctrine's cultivation method into the body, and it was the same as Haotian's Divine Light.
Suddenly, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Because he saw a whole set of cultivation methods for cultivating Qi at the back of the book!
At the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine, Ning Que had inherited the Youngest Uncle's mantle. He had used the residual sword style in the mottled sword mark left by Youngest Uncle to directly create a path in Ning Que's Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi. Then the Great Spirit poured into his body and drove the cyclone in his lower abdomen to start absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth around.
For Ning Que now, once he used his Psyche Power to drive the cyclone to start absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, he could no longer control the process. He did not know how to make the process more efficient.
If the cultivation method left in this book was real, wouldn't it mean that he could cultivate the Great Spirit much faster? Could he improve his state in the shortest time possible?
Ning Que's hands holding the book trembled slightly. The depression of being imprisoned in the cliff cave was replaced by the surprise and gratitude to the Headmaster of the Academy and Third Sister.
The Academy's cultivation Classics should be shared, and such a great harvest and happiness should be shared. He turned around immediately and wanted to tell Sangsang about it.
However, he saw that Sangsang had already fallen asleep.
Looking at Sangsang who was holding the book and sleeping soundly without leaning against the wall of the cliff cave, Ning Que could not help but laugh. He thought that this little girl was indeed not made for cultivation, or at least not for reading.
After a while, Ning Que calmed down and quietly read the cultivation method in the book from beginning to end. He only closed his eyes slowly when he was sure that he could remember every word in the book.
He began to cultivate Qi for the first time.
What he cultivated was the Great Spirit.
