Nightwatcher

What does the matter of Confucianism have to do with me? I'm just Xu Qi'an, a watchman wearing a Confucian cloak, laughing at himself, straightened his face, and stared at the mirror surface of the jade mirror.

In a short time, words appeared on the mirror, and the letter from No. 4 came over: [I once traveled to the Western Regions, where people were generally illiterate, ignorant and backward, let alone what "rituals" are. However, the locals are quite hospitable. They warmly entertained me in the image of a swordsman, but when I told the locals that I was a "scholar", their attitude towards me changed drastically.

[Abusing, threatening, and driving me away forced me to leave the local area, and during my subsequent travels, I never revealed my identity as a scholar. 】

This is the so-called, the anger of the scumbag at the bully? Xu Qi'an did not express any opinion, and continued to wait for the next transmission.

[Four: I thought the Western Regions simply hated scholars, but later realized that they didn't hate scholars, but hated Confucianism, the orthodox Confucianism. This reminds me of a record I read in history books before, um, after that period of history five hundred years ago, Buddhism was once quite prosperous in Dafeng and preached everywhere.

[The good times didn't last long. In less than a hundred years, the imperial court began to exterminate the Buddha, and it was the Chief Assistant at that time who promoted the extermination of the Buddha. And he also has an identity, the dean of Yunlu Academy. 】

Almost all the scholars in the past were from Yunlu Academy, and the Confucian orthodoxy appeared two hundred years ago when Xu Qi'an typed in a message: 【That's it? 】

At that time, Dafeng was the territory of Confucianism, and it was completely reasonable for Confucianism to stop it if Buddhism wanted to preach to the Central Plains. In the same way, it is also reasonable for the Western Regions to hate scholars.

This melon is not interesting to eat.

【Four: Hey, number three, you've been a little lazy lately. 】

Xu Qi'an: "???"

Shall I bite my finger and show you a piece of "The Brain Is Trembling".

[Four: Or is it because you are preparing for the Chunwei exam, so you don't have time to study history? Well, what I want to say is that the chief assistant back then said a word when he exterminated the Buddha: Buddhism will not be destroyed, and all the world will be Buddha; with my life, the road to Buddha will be broken.

【To this day, I still don’t understand the true meaning of this sentence. 】

Buddhism is immortal, all the world is Buddha; with my life, what does it mean to cut off the path of Buddha? Xu Qi'an was at a loss.

[V: Maybe it’s just an inspiring statement. 】

Good question number five! Xu Qi'an smiled.

[One: No, the third grade of Confucianism is the realm of establishing life. Taking my life is no joke. The words of No. 4 reminded me of more details. The chief assistant was Du Zhongshu. After the Buddha was exterminated, he stepped into the third-rank Liming Realm. In other words, his "life" is to destroy Buddha. 】

After exterminating the Buddha, stepped into the third-rank Liming Realm? Xu Qi'an remembered the information that Zhang Shen and Zhang Daru had mentioned to him by accident. Confucianism's life-setting state is a process of "finding the goal of life", so it is called life-making.

"Living" must be a positive goal. After destroying the Buddha, step into the realm of establishing a life. This is very interesting. Does it mean that destroying the Buddha is indeed a positive and positive goal?

Xu Qi'an thought in his heart, and passed on the letter: [Liming Realm is similar to a Buddhist door making a great wish, stepping into the Liming Realm by destroying Buddha, which means that it is correct to destroy Buddha. 】

With the endorsement of No. 3, a Confucian student, everyone realized that something was wrong. Buddhism is not destroyed, and the world is a Buddha. This may not be a joke.

There is a deeper inside story involved behind it, not as simple as "struggling for territory".

No one spoke for a long time, as if they were thinking about the hidden truth behind this incident. After more than ten minutes, No. 2 said:

[No. 3, how many masters are there in the governor's team going to Yunzhou this time? 】

[Three: There is only one Jin Gong on the surface, but I don’t know it in secret. 】

The word "only" is well used, No. 2 complained in his heart.

Anyone who has known about Daganren's Yamen knows that Jin Luo is a fourth-rank martial artist, and all fourth-rank warriors are extremely masters on the battlefield.

In the category of mortals, the fourth rank that condenses "will" is the pinnacle.

Further up is the third rank. The third rank has the ability to regenerate a broken limb, and it is no longer a mortal.

Even if my team, plus myself, had to deal with a fourth-rank Jingong, I'm afraid they would all end up dead together.

Number Two sighed.

After being speechless for a while, after confirming that the unqualified group of friends had all gone offline, Xu Qi'an put away the small mirror, left the room, stood on the edge of the deck, facing the river, and poured out the burden of his bladder.

He fastened his belt and went back to the room.

The next day, Xu Qi'an woke up at dawn, looked around, and saw two colleagues carrying luck, exhaling and practicing Qi.

Everyone is working so hard, every day is full of support. Xu Qi'an sat up and stretched.

Essence, energy and spirit are one. When the energy is full of the upper, middle and lower dantians, the mental power will skyrocket. At this time, it means that you can visualize and prepare to break through the realm of refining the gods.

Xu Qi'an's qi had already filled his dantian, almost overflowing, and with the continuous visualization every day, his mental strength increased day by day, and he was only one chance away from stepping into the realm of refining gods.

Xu Qi'an didn't know how this opportunity came about, and Wei Yuan didn't tell him, because Wei's father didn't know that Xu Qi'an's cultivation was so fast.

I always thought that the little gong that I valued was still in the stage of luck.

Realizing that Xu Qi'an woke up, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng stopped breathing, and the former said:

"When the trip to Yunzhou is over and the Yamen distributes rewards, I will be able to save enough money to marry a daughter-in-law."

Zhu Guangxiao has a childhood sweetheart sister, um, not her own sister, but the sister next door. The two have a strong relationship, and Wang Ba looks at Mung Dou very well.

But my sister's father wanted Zhu Guangxiao to take a gift of one hundred taels of silver, otherwise there would be no way.

Zhu Guangxiao's monthly salary is five taels, plus some gray income, and he can earn more than eighty taels a year, but he still has to socialize, daily expenses, and has to go to brothels and can only save more than thirty taels a year.

It is already not easy, after all, going to brothels is a rigid need, and ordinary people still have needs, let alone young warriors.

Why don't you put up flags, like you, I have never seen a thousand or eight hundred people like you on TV in my last life Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes.

"Congratulations, Guangxiao will get married soon." After Song Tingfeng finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful purple sachet embroidered with white lotus flowers on Xu Qian's waist, and said, "Ningyan, is this from Fuxiang?"

"No!" Xu Qi'an let him take the sachet.

"You don't even have a fiancée, do you?" Song Tingfeng slightly opened his squinted eyes, and said sourly.

"No." Xu Qi'an snatched back the sachet and lay down again, the purple sachet hanging on the tip of his nose, humming softly: "She's just my sister, my sister said purple is very charming."

"Why didn't Ning Yan marry a wife?" Zhu Guangxiao expressed doubts.

In his opinion, Xu Qi'an was not only highly appreciated by Duke Wei, but also was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold by His Majesty, with a bright future ahead.

I have also reached the age of marrying a wife and having children.

"He is a prodigal son just like me." Song Tingfeng commented.

"Get lost, we are different." Xu Qi'an lay on the bed with his hands resting on the back of his head, and sighed, "It takes a while to get used to it."

It has only been three months since he came to Dafengman, and he still can't settle down and fully adapt. That's why I lingered in Jiaofangsi, lingered in the fragrant and warm Naizi, but I was not mentally prepared to start a family.

Zhu Guangxiao nodded slightly, and suggested: "It depends on what you want from your future wife."

"Request." Xu Qi'an mused, "The ones with big waves and long hair."

"Your request is so strange." Song Tingfeng frowned.

Xu Qi'an glanced at him: "These are three requirements."

After washing up, Xu Qi'an ate breakfast and knocked on Jiang Lvzhong's door.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Luzhong sat at the table, looking at a map of Yunzhou. His sharp eyes, like eagle eyes, gave people a great sense of oppression.

"I would like to ask Jiang Jinluo some questions about cultivation." Xu Qi'an picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, "How to advance to the realm of refining gods?"

Regarding this point, Xu Qi'an's previous understanding was that it should be done step by step and naturally.

When accumulated to a corresponding level, one can naturally advance to the state of refining gods.

But from Chu Caiwei's request to be promoted to an alchemist, he was inspired. Looking back at the Wufu system, he found that there are also requirements for promoting from the refinement level to the Qi training level: don't break your body!

Jiang Lvzhong smiled and said: "It's very simple. When your mental strength reaches a certain level, the center of your eyebrows will swell and hurt, that is when you are promoted to the state of refining gods. As for the method of promotion, well, don't sleep for ten days."

ah? Is it serious not to sleep for ten days, won't you die suddenly?

Seeing Xu Qi'an's bewildered face, Jiang Lvzhong explained: "You heard me right. If you don't sleep for ten days, you can be promoted to the realm of refining gods. If you can't survive it, you will go into a coma, or you will die from mental failure. The warrior system, every Rank is a test of life and death."

"Why don't you sleep for ten days?" Xu Qi'an asked doubtfully.

"When you are in the refinement state, you must often experience the limits of the physical body. Every time you break through the limits, your physical strength will increase. Do you know the limits of the primordial spirit?"

Xu Qi'an shook his head.

"The best way to break through the limit of the primordial spirit is to stay awake. Ten days is just a rough standard. Everyone's limit is different. In the future, if you try to advance to the realm of refining gods, you will have a personal experience."

"Won't the body be overwhelmed?"

"So refinement and qi training are also laying the foundation for refining the gods, including your usual visualization and condensing the strength of the primordial spirit. It is also increasing the chance of being promoted to refine the gods." Speaking of this, Jiang Lvzhong said with a smile:

"You are still early. The most important thing in the road of martial arts is the will to travel through mountains and rivers. You can't aim too high."

"Jiang Jinluo is right." Xu Qi'an nodded in agreement: "I have already reached the peak of Qi training."

Jiang Luzhong: "???"

He stared at Xu Qi'an with an unbelievable look for a few seconds, and said displeasedly: "Don't be joking, I remember when you joined the watchmen, you were still at the level of refinement, how can anyone practice Qi in less than three months?" The pinnacle can't be real, can it?"

Xu Qi'an shrugged: "If that's not the case, why would I ask you this. Well, I'll take my leave first."

Xu Qi'an left Jiang Lvzhong's room, leaving Lord Jin Luo sitting alone at the table, muttering: "This is unreasonable, this is unreasonable!

"Wei Gong, does he know?"

Six days later, Xu Qi'an's feeling on the first long voyage in his life was: Gan!

On the deck, Song Tingfeng looked listlessly at the river, looked at the passing water transport ships, and said, "We will arrive in Yuzhou tomorrow. Jiang Jinluo promised us to rest for a whole day. I will vomit after eating fish."

"Yuzhou is rich in iron ore, famously rich, outstanding people. Presumably the beauties of the Jiaofang Division are also beautiful." A Tongluo echoed.

Xu Qi'an didn't care about whether the beauty of the Jiaofang Division was fresh or not, he just wanted to get off the boat early and have a good meal.

In the midwinter season, there is a shortage of fruits and vegetables, let alone floating on the water. During this period of time, he ate fish all the time, and now he feels disgusted when he sees fish, and he almost suffers from anorexia.

At this time, Xu Qi'an, who was lying on the side of the guardrail, accidentally caught an oncoming official ship.

There were a few officers in soap clothes on the deck, and they also noticed the official ship that Xu Qi'an was on. After seeing the gongs on the deck, the officials obviously panicked and made a gesture. subconscious back.

Then he quickly stabilized his emotions and remained the same, but he didn't look this way again.

The subconscious panic after seeing us is a manifestation of guilty conscience. Although he made remedies and behaved fairly calmly, but the attitude of not squinting shows that guilty conscience is a natural fear of beating people?

The old police detective Xu Qi'an thought suspiciously.

The reaction of the officials on the official ship is simply the most classic guilty reaction when he was studying psychology.

To be on the safe side, make sure.

Xu Qi'an stretched out his hand in his bosom, lightly clasped the back of the small jade mirror, took out the "magic book" from the Confucian Academy, and tore off a page that recorded the Qi-watching technique.

Now the most popular "magic book" is the qi technique. On the day when Zhou Chixiong was escorted to Beijing, Xu Qi'an had the cheek to ask Zhang Shen for spells to supplement the dwindling magic book.

Chu Caiwei was also present at the time and became a major provider of skills.

As for why they are all qi-watching techniques, because the technique is simple and easy to record.

"laugh"

While the pages of the book were burning, Xu Qi'an's eyes shot out a clear light, looking at the official ship ahead.

He saw a bright red, sticky blood.

According to the definition of qi-watching technique, the murderer will be stained with blood for a period of time after killing someone.
