On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, Song Yushan went to Lu Mansion again.
The housekeeper of the Lu family received her.
Before she said her intention, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion accused her:
"Miss Song, my daughter's condition worsened yesterday. The master took his wife and young master by boat to the county town early in the morning to seek medical treatment. This year's holiday gift can only be delivered by an old slave. It's rude."
The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion looked tired and had red bloodshot eyes. He could tell that he had not slept well last night.
Song Yushan gave away the holiday gift, but learned such bad news.
On the way back I felt a little depressed.
Sister Junlan of the Lu family was only one year older than her. She was supposed to be a delicate young lady who had no worries about food and clothing and was loved by her family. Unfortunately, she was born with a weak disease and was tortured by illness.
The Yuan family's younger sister, Shu Niang, never left the house because of the upbringing and etiquette of the boudoir lady. Sister Junlan, because her body was too weak, would fall ill whenever she caught wind, so she could only rest at home.
Song Yushan saw her only a handful of times, but he still remembered her Guerlain-like temperament and appearance.
Every winter is a setback for Sister Junlan.
The Lu family had hired a man-made boat a few years ago, and all the facilities on the boat were extremely comfortable, just to safely take their daughter to the county town for medical treatment.
The ship was just built a month ago.
The original plan was to travel after the spring started, when the weather got warmer. Unexpectedly, sister Junlan coughed up blood last night. Lu Shibo was worried that sister Junlan would not be able to survive the spring, so he took a risk and set off for the county seat that day.
Song Yushan could only hope that the Lu family would get what they wanted, and that Sister Junlan would no longer be troubled by the disease.
There are many capable people in the county. There are not only doctors with superb medical skills, but also monks who are proficient in various magical arts. There must be someone who can cure Sister Lu.
Otherwise, her life would have been too miserable, and she had never had a good day since she was born.
At this point, Song Yushan has finally arranged everything.
In the last few days of the month, when the moon was not visible at night, she simply stopped practicing and spent the New Year with Uncle Jin and Big White Goose.
Relax and prepare for the challenges of the new year.
On the first day of the first lunar month, at the beginning of Yinshi, Song Yushan sat on the futon in the courtyard and began the first day of practice.
Now her eyesight is far beyond what it used to be. Even if the sun blocks the moon's light during the day, she can still see where the moon is.
The moon was supposed to rise at Mao hour on the first day of the lunar month. In order to be more safe, Song Yushan moved an hour earlier and started waiting at Yin hour.
Even if the moon has not risen yet, she can meditate in advance and use her mental skills to visualize.
In the sea of consciousness, the moon in front of her forehead was not visible like the moon in the sky, and she looked at the jade seal of merit.
With a thought, the jade seal projected a page of text into the sea of consciousness (the setting of the jade seal in Chapter 5 was slightly modified):
[Jade Seal of Merit]
[Master: Song Yushan]
[Merit: 4/8] (Cultivation: 4) (Enlightenment: 1)
[Ability: Yuehua Heart Technique (Body Tempering Perfection), Gale Wind Stick Technique (Small Success)]
These days, her merit has increased by 2 points.
When she told the big white goose about the monster version of the "Three Character Classic" that she had interpreted, it gained some insights and contributed some merit to her.
The other bit was obtained after she taught Shu Niang how to learn the stick technique.
Suddenly, her merits became abundant again.
A full 4 points of merit, plus 4 times of auxiliary practice and 1 time of improving understanding.
Before advancing to the Qi Condensation Realm, she did not need to use merits for the time being. These could be saved for after the Qi Condensation Realm, which laid the foundation for her practice after the Qi Condensation Realm.
These two recent gains of merit also allowed Song Yushan to discover some patterns.
So far, except for the initial bit of merit, the rest are all related to education, and education seems to be easier to obtain merit.
Helping Uncle Jin and Dabai Goose practice Yin Yuehua helps them improve their spiritual realm. Teaching them principles through the "Three Character Classic" improves their ideological realm. Teaching Shu Niang the stick method improves her martial arts realm.
These are all inseparable from the word education. The essence of education is to induce people to improve themselves.
This rule is consistent with her previous insights.
Merits must be allowed to come naturally, and education cannot be forced.
Education requires finding the right person. Teaching and learning, teachers and students are indispensable.
After all, students must gain something for this education to count.
If she encounters a studious person, demon, or even ghost in the future, she might be able to give him a try. If she doesn't have the desire to learn, don't force her.
In terms of poetry and calligraphy, she has a rich family background and accumulated enough knowledge. In terms of spiritual practice, she has the merit to improve her understanding and help her learn. If she works hard to improve herself, she should be qualified to be a teacher.
Song Yushan was imagining that he had accepted a group of demon students, a group of ghost students, and a group of human students. Everyone looked at him with a thirst for knowledge, and the moon in front of his forehead suddenly moved in the sea of consciousness.
The moon has risen.
She quickly gathered her thoughts and started working on her mental methods.
It wasn't until the moon set at the beginning of Youshi that Song Yushan ended her visualization. When she opened her eyes, she saw Uncle Jin and the big white goose guarding her.
Today the moon rises and sets at about the same time as the sun, and there is no moonlight power.
So Uncle Jin and Big White Goose were purely trying to protect her.
Seeing their concerned expressions, Song Yushan's heart warmed slightly and her eyebrows curved: "Today's practice went very well."
Uncle Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as everything goes well. I have left most of the affairs of Fumanzhai to the stewards below, freeing up a lot of time. In the future, if the lady practices during the day, I will wait in the house to eliminate all interference for the lady. , don’t let anyone disturb the young lady’s practice.”
"Thank you, Uncle Jin." Song Yushan has long regarded Uncle Jin as his elder and has great trust in him. Uncle Jin really deserves to be treated like this.
Big White Goose: "Quack!" And me!
Song Yushan smiled and welcomed it into his arms. Even the best down can't match the cloud-like feel of the big white goose.
"With you here, next Spring Festival, I will definitely be able to advance to the Qi Condensation Realm!"
Uncle Jin smiled and said yes, and the big white goose narrowed his eyes in comfort.
From that day on, Song Yushan devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
During the first few days of the month and the last few days, I almost stay behind closed doors.
During the day, he worked on his mental skills, and at night, he gave lectures to Big White Goose and Uncle Jin, and taught Shu Niang how to stick.
Only in the middle of the month, when the moon rises and sets at night, would she show up during the day, go to the bookstore to have a look, or deal with some industrial matters.
After nightfall, I took Uncle Jin and Big White Goose to practice.
Uncle Jin is taking care of the house, Shu Niang and Dabai Goose are looking after the bookstore, and Uncle Qing is in charge of the workshop.
They all tried not to disturb her.
A few years ago, she killed a chicken in the county to scare the monkeys, which shocked outsiders.
Even if she shows up for a while later, no one dares to touch her for the time being, and they are even more afraid of her because of her mystery.
After all, the second child of the Xu family is still lying on the bed!
There was nothing to worry about and no worries. Naturally, Song Yushan's cultivation went very smoothly.
The moon in front of my forehead rotates with the moon in the sky, waiting for the day when it will accumulate a lot in a year...
