Liang Qu felt that Jian Zhongyi looked at him strangely before leaving, like the second-place finisher's disdain for a beginner.
Thinking of writing an article by himself, Jian Zhongyi was watching from the side and he shrugged.
It doesn't matter.
I don't want to take the imperial examination, and I don't plan to take part in the martial arts examination.
Come on, it's time to go to the medical clinic to learn medical skills.
In the next two days, Liang Qu lived a life of three o'clock and one line of work.
Every day I wander back and forth between the three places: martial arts gym, underwater, and home.
After refining seven levels in three days, the water essence is obtained from cockscomb fruit and king sturgeon meat. It steadily increases at a rate of 70 points per day. The fusion degree can increase by two thousandths in three days.
The five water beasts under his control, excluding the recently joined finless porpoise Round Head, the remaining four are only just over a hundred points of water essence before they can evolve for the second time. A total of two meals of sturgeon king meat should be enough.
During this period, Liang Qu also dug up a section of lotus root and gave it to the master.
After comparison with the main book, it was initially determined that it was a brand-new variety that had never been seen before. It was preserved through special methods and prepared to be reported to the household department. The chief agricultural officer under the household department would identify and plant it. Only after judging the value could credit be given.
Another long waiting process.
Liang Qu always felt that this was fucked up. The unit of message transmission was months, especially for things that needed constant verification. As a result, the subsequent rewards for his invention of Pinyin were not yet available.
"Lao Li, do you think I can grow this cockscomb fruit myself?"
Liang Qu held the core of the cockscomb fruit in his hand, curious about this question.
Liang Qu came here every day to exchange small merits. Liang Qu was already very familiar with the chief clerk and knew that his surname was Li, his name was Li Shoufu, his family was in the capital, and he had been a fourth-rank official.
It's a pity that his father failed to live up to expectations. Li Shoufu was only the third generation, and he couldn't get famous in the imperial examination, so he could only work as an expatriate chief registrar.
Li Shoufu rolled his eyes: "If you could just grow the things cultivated by great farmers, the fruits would be everywhere on the market."
Cockscomb fruit is cultivated by Da Si Nong using secret methods. The fertilizer ratio and planting techniques are very particular, and people who are not from the Ministry of Revenue have no idea about it.
Cockscomb fruit can be grown in Hebo, and people from the Ministry of Household Affairs come to provide guidance.
"This fruit is so effective, has no one really thought about it?"
"Yes, people die for money and birds die for food, why not?" Li Shoufu knocked on the cigarette pole, "There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone planting things requires many hands, and there is no way to ensure that everyone's mouth is tight. There are always people who leak out, but if you leak out, just grow it and eat it yourself, who dares to trade in large quantities? Do you know King Zhou?"
Liang Qu pointed his index finger at the ship's plank above his head: "Whose brother?"
"That's right, even if you can't grow this stuff, 120,000 acres of medicinal fields and 60,000 acres of ponds have been seized and punished for rebellion!"
Liang Qu clicked his tongue.
After chatting for a while, someone happened to come to register his credit, so he stopped chatting with Li Shoufu and turned around to leave.
"Old Li, who was that person just now? I saw that he came over with several monster heads. He looked very young and so powerful?"
"Hey, you came from the countryside? Did you know it now? That's our Uncle Commander Xu's disciple, you can endure it!"
"Good guy, I really don't know this."
When Liang Qu returned home, there was no movement at all in the west wing and the door was open. He didn't know where the old monk had gone.
In the past two days, when he went out, the old monk followed him out, and he saw no one at all.
According to the old monk, he might have gone to find that evil monk.
Liang Qu recently learned from reading that Buddhism is actually a very broad concept.
There are many different sects under the entire Great Buddha Sect. The most common ones are Zen Sect and Pure Land Sect, which are also the most numerous sects in Dashun. In addition, there are Lun Sect, Tiantai Sect, Xianshou Sect, and even many sects that have been discontinued.
I don’t know which sect of Buddhism the old monk belongs to.
If you just look at him wandering around, he should be a walking monk or a wandering monk in Zen Buddhism.
But the old monk's behavior seemed strange, not like an ordinary Zen monk.
The biggest characteristic of Zen Buddhism is that it likes to go out and teach. On weekdays, I don’t see old monks showing any intention of going out to teach others.
Don't understand.
Liang Qu shook his head, opened the book, and continued reading at night.
After several days of hard work, he chewed through one of the three books. Looking at the so-called "Diamond Sutra of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger", he could see more and more things.
It used to be confusing after one page, but now I can only get confused after reading three or four pages, and I can vaguely figure out some clues.
Liang Qu could probably guess some of the old monk's thoughts and wanted to cultivate his "interest" through his continuous and in-depth study of Buddhist classics.
Unfortunately.
Compared with several books, Liang Qu believes that materiality determines the basis of consciousness, and he is not interested in Buddhism at all. In other words, he is not interested in all sects.
The good ones are just people.
There are indeed true masters who can restrain their desires and strictly abide by the precepts, but there is no such thing as one among ten thousand, even rarer than the great martial arts master Karutora.
With this perseverance and kindness, you can become a master by believing in nothing or believing in anything.
But once believers are allowed to form a force, the majority will fish in troubled waters, and the ultimate nature remains open to question.
According to the records that Liang Qu has read, Louguantai and Xuankong Temple, including the other three among the Five True Traditions, have caused many scandals over thousands of years.
Either the disciple raped the pilgrim, or the master had an illegitimate child, which happened all the time, that is, the fist was really big enough, and the real master occasionally appeared, otherwise the wall would have been overthrown and everyone would push him away.
In the early morning, Liang Qu had breakfast, with his heart raised to the sky in a quiet room, and his brows were calm.
The energy and blood all over his body flowed according to the route of "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan", faintly emitting a red light.
In Taoist terminology, there is a word called Danyuan, which means the mind and spirit, the heart of sincerity.
The so-called Baoyuan means to guard the mind and not waver.
When ordinary people encounter danger, they are often restless, distracted, and often faint from fear. Some even collapse to the ground and cannot move.
But if you have cultivated Baoyuan and your mind and body are one, you will naturally be less likely to panic when encountering danger, and you will always remain calm.
Just imagine, what a huge help it would be to be able to remain calm during a life-and-death fight?
"Wan Sheng Bao Yuan" has four levels of concentration, inner vision, concentration, and steeling, which are advanced layer by layer. Among them, the first layer of concentration is the same principle.
Once you reach this state, your mind will be calm and all thoughts will be eliminated.
It also allows the exercises to run freely while walking, without the need to meditate specifically.
"As diligent as I am, I will finally succeed!"
The empty room turned white, and Liang Qu took a long breath of white air in the quiet room.
The white energy is like a three-foot sword, which lasts for a long time.
The powerful blood circulates in the limbs and bones, turning into waves, and the dense red light penetrates the body, intertwining a large red net on the surface of the body, faintly glowing with a layer of silvery white.
The hundreds and thousands of pores are all undulating with breathing, the air flow is hunting, and the knotted muscles are beating incessantly.
After several breaths, the blood all over Liang Qu's body suddenly dispersed and converged in his body, and his breath became unified.
Unprecedented tranquility.
Liang Qu opened his eyes and stood up. He did not deliberately transfer the energy and blood, but the energy mechanism in his body was still cultivating automatically according to the method of "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan", and it was endless.
"It's done!"
