Bai Gu took a sip of water and brought the topic back, "What about the word star?"
"The stars actually refer to two things, not just the twinkling stars at night." Wang Xizhou paused, "There are four images in the sky, namely the sun, the moon, and the stars. The way to establish the sky is Yin and Yang. Therefore, the sun is the yang within the yang. , the moon is the yin within the yang, the star is the yang within the yin, and the star is the yin within the yin, which are the four images of the sky. Xiaobai, do you understand?"
Bai Gu looked confused, "I can understand that the sun is a yang within a yang, but the other three, why?"
"Try replacing yin and yang with light and darkness, and see if you can understand it this time."
Bai Gu thought for a moment, but still shook his head and asked: "How can the moon be yin within yang, darkness within light? Shouldn't it be like the stars, yang within yin, light within darkness? What the hell is Chen? Yin within darkness, darkness within darkness?”
"The moon does not emit its own light like the sun. You can imagine the moon as a mirror. The moonlight only reflects the light of the sun. As for the theory of yin and yang, you can simply understand it as day and night. Day is yang and night is yin. So. In essence, the moon is subordinate to Yang. The moon is also in the dark night. Although it does not shine with brilliant light like the sun, the moonlight can also pour into the world. It belongs to Yang and hides Yin, so the moon is Yin in Yang. Darkness in the light.”
"Stars shine and twinkle in the dark night, so they are yin and yang, darkness and light? But stars can shine by themselves?"
Wang Xizhou nodded, "Things that can emit light, whether they emit light independently or with the help of other external forces, are stars."
"That's Chen?"
"About Chen, there are actually two opinions. One is that all celestial bodies in the sky, including the sun and the moon, belong to Chen. There is also a saying that except for the sun, moon and stars, anything in the sky that cannot shine is called Chen. The mainstream opinions are these two. , as for sayings such as Chen being the place where the sun and moon meet, and the North Star being Chen, these are actually extensions of those two mainstream statements, you only need to remember the first two."
"So the idea that Chen is the yin in the yin is the second mainstream?"
"A boy can be taught, just a little bit will make him understand."
Bai Gu nodded, indicating that he understood, but he remembered something again, so he raised the rice paper in his hand, "This technique requires the help of stars in the sky to connect the meridians and acupoints in the body to form a star map. It seems that it needs a one-to-one correspondence. ?”
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"But I only know the North Star, and I don't know anything else. How can I practice?"
Wang Xizhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Xizhou thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be this. Simple, as long as there are no clouds and stars at night, Xizhou will go with you to understand the stars and draw star maps every night, how about it?"
Bai Gu nodded in agreement.
Bai Gu put the rice paper in his hand on the table again and pointed to the upright dragon tablet block letters on it, "Brother Wang, teach me how to read and write, otherwise I won't know how to practice even if I have good skills in the future."
Wang Xizhou smiled knowingly, and quickly took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a yellowed book again, and placed them on the table.
Then Wang Xizhou sat up straight, his aura changed, like a Qingzhang military advisor sitting in command of a million-strong army, strategizing on the battlefield, "Let's start with the most basic pinyin today. This is the basis of literacy, such as spiritual practice. The Soul-Enlightening Realm of the Nine Realms is extremely important. If you master this step, you can read thousands of words in the world."
Bai Gu also put away his usual casualness, sat up straight and listened carefully.
The Jiazi Shanshui Master and the Seventeen-year-old Master were sitting opposite each other.
One preaches and the other hears.
The spring day is amiable, the clouds are low, the old branches are sprouting, and the streams are breaking through the ice.
Chaiyan never came in the old days, but this year she came to my house carrying mud.
——————
Next to a carriage parked under a big tree, there were two figures sitting against the tree.
One has a bloodless face, and the other is tall and strong.
Sword repairman Lianfeng.
Wufu Guan Dahu.
Lian Feng took the pill sent by Mr. Wu, and now his injuries have stopped. The holes in the meridians and acupuncture points that were backfired by the sword energy have been repaired, and his spiritual power is no longer leaking out. Just because too much spiritual power was leaked before, Lian Feng now only has half a step to the level of Kuxuan Realm.
But these are not big problems. It only takes a while to recover from the injury, and it is not a big problem to rebuild the fallen state.
The biggest thing for Lian Feng now is to rush to the Gentian Tomb to find a way to rebuild the natal sword.
Otherwise, if you don’t have a natal sword, you still deserve to be called a sword cultivator?
It's better to just die.
"Lian Feng, Yunshui City is not far ahead. Do you want to enter the city?" Guan Dahu looked somewhere in the distance, where there was a faint city head emerging, and the sky above it was filled with clouds and mist, like a dream.
Even Feng was looking there, with emotions flashing in his eyes. It's just that Lian Feng has always been quiet and reserved. Even if his heart is turbulent, it's hard for others to detect his changes when he doesn't speak.
Lian Feng looked at it for a long time before looking away and said, "Forget it."
"Why? Don't you go and thank Mr. Wu in person?"
Lian Feng turned his head and glanced at Guan Dahu, "Do you think we are qualified to meet Mr. Wu? With your big face?"
Guan Dahu chuckled and scratched his head, "Don't you think Mr. Wu saved you and we have to thank him?"
Lian Feng turned his head and looked away into the distance again, "Thank others? Do we have the qualifications?"
Guan Dahu suddenly felt a little discouraged, "I just want to pay a visit to Mr. Wu. Such a big shot may never be able to catch a glimpse of him from a distance in his life. Now that he is so close in front of me, I must be itching and unbearable."
"I know. Me too."
Guan Dahu looked at Lian Feng.
"I just think that after making a name for myself in Longdan Tomb, it would be better to go see Mr. Wu again, no matter whether I can see him in the end or not, than to go empty-handed now."
Guan Dahu slapped his thigh, "Yes, this is a good idea, why didn't I think of it!"
Guan Dahu asked again tentatively: "What did you say to Xiaobai that night? You actually made him put aside his grudge against you and ask Mr. Wu to save you. Of course, if you don't want to say it, just treat me as Never asked."
Lian Feng didn't answer the question, "He just said that you are working hard for me. If I die like that, it will not only be useless, but also make your hard work go to waste. If this is really the case, he feels unworthy for you." .”
Guan Dahu grinned, wanting to smile but felt it was inappropriate, so he forcibly stopped his smile, "I didn't expect Xiaobai to speak so well of me."
"He and I are not the same person. If I can really rebuild the natal sword this time, I will owe him a life, but I will not thank him. I will return my life to him after I have taken care of other things. I don't want to owe him anything. , this favor is too heavy, I can’t afford it.”
Guan Dahu's face turned gloomy, "You don't have to be like this, Xiaobai is not a bad person."
Lian Feng raised his head and looked towards the south, "Some people know whether they can be friends at the first sight."
"Can't it be that we don't know each other without fighting?"
Lian Feng shook his head gently, "He and I didn't like each other at first sight. We were born with different horoscopes. How can we be friends? It's good if we're not rivals."
"No matter what the reason is, having a friend like Xiaobai is not a bad thing."
Lian Feng remained silent.
"Leaving aside the two identities of knowing Mr. Wu and being a disciple of Sword Immortal, Xiaobai is not a bad character and a bad person. It's just because you two are too stubborn, otherwise you two would become good friends."
"Two stubborn bulls collided with each other and refused to give way to each other. It would be nice if they didn't fight to the death. You still want to make them friends? Dahu, you are thinking too much."
This time Guan Dahu was silent.
Lian Feng has a tough temper, not only because he is a swordsman, but also because he wants to be strong and save face.
Lian Feng had nothing since he was a child. The little face and self-esteem he finally gained when he grew up were the only things Lian Feng had that belonged to him.
Lian Feng could no longer accept the loss.
But Bai Gu is different.
Guan Dahu didn't know much about Bai Gu, but through those few days of contact, Guan Dahu felt that Bai Gu was a kind-hearted young man on the surface, but actually very wary.
Even Wang Xizhou said privately that Bai Gu felt like... a glutinous rice cake stuffed with walnuts. He looked kind and weak on the outside, but had a strong and hard heart. It was difficult for others to truly connect with him and explore his heart.
And once it touches Bai Gu's bottom line or minefield, the "walnut" in his heart will grow spikes and cover the body surface, and Nuomi Ci will turn into a hedgehog full of spikes, and anyone who comes close will be killed. Puncture wounds.
Lian Feng's sword on the carriage is a good example.
If Wang Xizhou hadn't stopped him, Bai Gu would have taken out the crimson bead hidden between his eyebrows that was temporarily given to him by Mr. Xu in white robe.
Bai Gu might have one of his arms chopped off by Lian Feng, but Lian Feng would at least be seriously injured, or even die on the spot!
Even Mr. Xu in white robe is a figure that even Mr. Wu respects. How can the thing in his hand be a mortal thing?
Even if it doesn't work, the light-accumulating barrier can even block the offensive of the phantom of a woman in the Piercing Mortal Realm. Lian Feng is only at the peak of the Spirit-Swallowing Realm, so why worry about him breaking through it?
Bai Gu, who was still in the Soul-Enlightening Realm at that time, could exchange one arm for someone at the peak of the Soul-Swallowing Realm to be seriously injured or killed.
Lian Feng glanced at Guan Dahu from the corner of his eye, then turned back and stared at the clear sky, dazed.
In fact, Lian Feng couldn't understand why Bai Gu took action to save his life, and his heart was complicated.
Normally, he had almost killed Bai Gu with his sword, but the latter did not take advantage of his illness to kill him. To make up for it on the sickbed was to be considered a generous and merciful person.
But when Bai Gu came that night, not only did he not taunt him, but he listened carefully to his inner thoughts. After leaving, he even begged Mr. Wu to save him. This back and forth made Bai Gu seem to be extremely friendly.
In fact, before leaving, Bai Gu told him how to repay the favor.
It is a small thing that seems to others to be just casual.
Even the wind can do it, and can do it easily.
It's just that the favor was so heavy and the gift was so light, he couldn't accept it.
It is the indescribable psychological self-esteem that is at work.
He had to do that thing even if Feng could do it, but why did Bai Gu, an outsider, do it?
Why? !
Even Feng couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to think about it.
The wounds that have finally scabbed over, I don’t want to or dare to expose the scars myself.
Afraid of pain.
