Fighter of the Destiny

At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Changsheng opened his eyes. He did not wake up from sleep, but from a meditative state. After confirming that no changes had occurred in his body, he shook his head and walked back to the small building to start taking a shower. Leaning on the edge of the barrel, letting the slightly scalding water soak into his exhausted body and spirit, his sigh turned into a murmur through the soaked towel: "When will we find a way?"

This wooden barrel is about half a person's height and is placed under the courtyard wall behind the building, very close to the wall. The next moment, he heard a faint sigh and a distressed word from the other side of the wall: "When can we find that person?"

Chen Changsheng thought of the sigh he heard yesterday morning, took off the wet towel from his face, turned around and looked at the courtyard wall. What comes into view is a patch of ivy, and the courtyard wall is very high. I can't see the scenery on that side, and I don't know who is speaking.

The voice was very childish, and it should be a girl - everyone's sadness is different, but it is still sadness. Chen Changsheng suddenly felt sympathy for her on the other side of the courtyard wall, but then he thought that he really had no sympathy for others in his current situation. qualifications.

The next few days passed uneventfully. He reads in the library every day, and at night he uses the starlight to cleanse his marrow. During the process of cleansing his marrow, he always closes his eyes and meditates. Naturally, he does not know that the starlight has penetrated into his body. From the appearance alone, There was indeed no change, which was a bit disappointing, but he continued to practice diligently without any impact.

Just like his practice, the renovation work of the National Education College is continuing in an orderly manner. The priest Xin from the Cardinal's Office did not stand in front of the stage to preside over the ceremony, but there was no shortage of funds that should be allocated, and it was quite timely, so the craftsmen and laborers naturally did not dare to slack off.

Since the courtyard wall, which has been in disrepair for a long time, cannot even isolate sound, it is naturally possible for ventilation to pass through.

The news that the National Education College was undergoing renovations soon spread in Kyoto, and the fact that the National Education College had an additional student gradually became known. It's just because of the real reason for the decline of the National Education College that people only dare to discuss it in private. They dare not come to inquire. In the end, it just adds some topic for discussion between the dinner table and tea.

Chen Changsheng didn't know that the outside world was full of wind and rain. He was studying and practicing in silence on the campus deep in Baihua Lane, repeating the same life, and he didn't feel that his life was monotonous at all.

On the surface, it seemed that he no longer cared about the success of the marrow cleansing. In fact, his focus was entirely on this. The floor of the library had not been scrubbed for several days, which was very rare for him who was so clean. This is clear evidence.

The failure of marrow cleansing does not mean that he has gained nothing from his study and life here.

He read a lot of books in the library. Most of the books he had read in Xining Town, and some books about spiritual practice were the first time he saw them. Comparing the two, he was a little surprised to find that he had read them since he was a child. Many of those words are related to spiritual practice.

When he memorized those Taoist canons as a child, he didn't know what those difficult words meant. He and his senior brother asked the master but couldn't get a specific answer, so they thought it was metaphysical things and didn't think much about it. It was only now that he came to Kyoto and saw some introductory books on spiritual practice such as "The Theory of Marrow Cleansing" in the National Education College. He didn't know that there were spiritual practices in the world, the valuable experiences left by the powerful men of the previous generation, and the different sects of various sects. The passed-down techniques and even some untold secrets of the powerful demon clan are all in the three thousand volumes of Taoist scriptures in the old temple in Xining Town!

what does that mean?

Who says he can't practice? No, he just hasn't started practicing yet, this is what he thought before. Now, he knows that this sentence is also wrong. Who says he hasn’t started practicing yet? No, he was already practicing from the moment he started speaking!

The three thousand volumes of Taoist scriptures in the old temple in Xining Town are countless fragments of knowledge related to practice. In the past, his spiritual world was like a big fog, but now the practice method he knows is like a tiny dust, in the fog. It became the core, so the water vapor began to crystallize, and it started to rain heavily!

Chen Changsheng entered a very strange realm or journey. It can be said to be a by-passing experience, or it can be said to be an enlightenment, like being given a slap in the face. But in fact, the closest description to the truth should be those four words: accumulation and accumulation.

It has been more than fourteen years since Taoist Ji picked him up by the stream. He has been reading every day and night for fourteen years. These fourteen years of reading life are a process of accumulation. He has laid a solid foundation. With an extremely solid foundation, all he needs in the end is an opportunity to transform all the knowledge he has mastered in the past fourteen years into his own understanding of the world, and then into his own power.

It was like a jar of gunpowder being ignited by a spark.

A big explosion occurred in Chen Changsheng's spiritual world. He greedily read all the books in the library and mastered the rules of practice, thus reassembling the fragments of information on the Taoist canon in Xining Town, re-reviewing and truly mastering it, understanding the secrets of the practice world at an unimaginable speed, and mastering those Details of the spiritual practice. In terms of knowledge on spiritual practice alone, there are probably very few people in the world who are more knowledgeable than him!

He failed to cleanse the marrow successfully, but suddenly gained such a big harvest. For Chen Changsheng, this was a surprise and a comfort. When he calmed down, he felt a lot of confusion and uneasiness. He walked to the window of the library, looked in the direction of Xining Town, and thought silently, the Taoist treasures in the old temple were not extraordinary, and the master was certainly not a mortal. He had laid such a solid foundation for his practice, why not Are you willing to teach yourself how to practice directly? Do you have to come to Kyoto to start? Could it be that because my physical illness is difficult to cure, I want to see if there is any opportunity for me to come here?

Time passed, and more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. No one from the Dongyu Shenjiang Mansion appeared again, and the little girl named Shuang'er did not come either. His peaceful life was not disturbed, which made him very happy; but Tang Thirty-six never showed up, which made him a little unhappy - he left his address in the inn, thinking that the other party should be able to find him. Well, that guy might also be practicing hard in Tiandaoyuan.

There is only Chen Changsheng in the National Education College, and this is his college alone.

He read quietly, practiced silently, and gradually forgot about the outside world. He has been forgotten by the outside world. Sometimes he thinks of the chats he heard in the teaching center and the excitement of the welcome activities of Tiandao Academy and Star Reaching Academy. He is a little envious, but he doesn't care too much. He has long been used to this boring kind. Monotonous life - studying with my senior brother in the old temple in Xining Town, and I could only hear his voice.

It's just that it's been many days since the marrow cleansing, but there's still no change in his body, and there's no hope of success. He would not give up, but he eventually became calmer. He decided that if it still didn't work in a few days, he would look for other methods in books.

Being indifferent sometimes makes people lose some of their energy, but it can also make people become calmer - that's Chen Changsheng's current mental state. It can't be said that he has returned to his original heart, but it can be regarded as returning to the beginning. At this time, he looks at the covered floor on the floor. There was a light dust on it, so he who liked cleanliness frowned and was very unhappy.

These dissatisfactions were more about himself. He felt that he had become much lazier.

He drew water from the well and began scrubbing the floor. The dust gradually cleared, and after a certain area on the floor was wetted with water and wiped clean, a very light fragrance faintly emitted. He forgot that this was the sweat shed when he lit the destiny star that day, and was a little confused. The fragrance was really light and disappeared without a trace when blown by the night wind.

After doing these things, he sat down casually and continued to use starlight to cleanse his marrow.

There was silence in the National Education College. He closed his eyes and meditated, completely forgetting the difference between things and me. Naturally, he did not hear the night birds that should have been resting in the woods outside the window. It's such a joy to be loud again.

A butterfly flew from the window, landed on the floor next to him, and never left.

It was the same floor he had just mopped.

…

…

Baihua Alley is an ordinary alley in Kyoto. Of course, it was once very famous because the National Education College deep in the alley was once very famous. At the same time, the Baicao Garden at the other end of the alley was also very famous. It was once the royal garden of the previous dynasty.

The most famous rebellion in the history of the Zhou Dynasty also happened in Baicao Garden. Emperor Taizong, who was still a prince at that time, hurriedly rode from the palace to the palace. It was here that he encountered an ambush by several other princes and princes. Emperor Taizong was still wearing his nightgown at the time.

The final outcome of that rebellion is known to the entire continent. His Majesty Emperor Taizong won a thrilling final victory. His brothers were executed on the spot, and hundreds of his followers were beheaded at the same time.

Because of this bloody or disgraceful history, the Baicao Garden was deprived of its status as a royal garden and was handed over to the Tiande Hall of the state religion for the cultivation of medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits. I don’t know if it was because the soil of Baicao Garden absorbed too much blood and water nutrients that day, or because there were too many corpses buried underground, but the herbs and spiritual fruits here grew very well, and they were taken seriously by the court again and were closely monitored. strict.

In fact, only a few people know that the reason why Baicao Garden is so tightly guarded is not only that the medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits are too rare, but also because there are often some important figures who are inconvenient to show up to live here, such as the Holy Emperor Empress who was the first When he was expelled from the palace for the first time, he led his disciples to practice in the temple here. It was precisely for this reason that Tiandao Hall later reaped great benefits.

Now there is also a nobleman living in Baicao Garden.

Under the old wall covered with ivy, there are stone tables and chairs. On the table is a tea bowl. In the bowl is the extremely rare and precious Congyu New Tea.

A little girl is drinking tea.

She has a childlike face, eyes like ink stars, lips like red plums, long eyelashes, and two faint blushes on her white cheeks. She looks extremely beautiful.

It is a very healthy beauty that makes people happy physically and mentally just looking at it without any distracting thoughts.

The little girl herself was not very happy, and looked very sad because she had not found the person yet.

Turn grief and anger into strength, and try to write the next chapter before nine o'clock!
