MTL - Prehistoric: A Stable Life, Starting From the Journey To the West-Chapter 9
In other words, the real method is not the text of the scriptures, but the spiritual will they imprinted on the scriptures.
The words in the scriptures are just appearances, just like the great principle that everyone understands.
To give the simplest example, even an illiterate farmer knows the principle of "the five elements are mutually reinforcing and the five elements are mutually restrained", but can you deduce the Dao method of the unity of the five elements through this principle?
Everyone knows that life and death are a cycle of reincarnation. Can you evolve the cycle of life and death through these few words, and prove the Tao and longevity?
Obviously not possible.
Just like the Tao Te Ching, which is regarded as the classic of the Dao by people who pass through it, the simple text of the Tao Te Ching is actually just like that, just like the Book of Changes written by Confucian scholars. Not unusual.
However, how many people have comprehended the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow from the Book of Changes, and the Law of the Sage from the Tao Te Ching?
The answer is, one doesn't!
Not because these two scriptures have been tampered with.
It is because the words in the scriptures are just words, and they are still words that tell the great truth. There is no specific cultivation method, and it cannot affect the Great Way of Heaven and Earth.
It is the living beings themselves that can really affect the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, for ordinary people, the so-called "Book of Changes", "Tao Te Ching", etc., there is no low-level martial arts training exercises useful.
Of course, Chen Qi, who has the strongest reading system, is not included in this list. With the help of the system, he feels that he can completely trace the origin and obtain the methods of ancient sages through the scriptures written by these sages.
Perhaps, this is the most buggy part of the strongest reading system.
Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath and meditated in his heart: "System, the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after training!".
After Chapter 15, please call me Master Chen! (for collections, for flowers)
Just like the basic human body refining technique, under the systematic indoctrination, Chen Qi's acquired sixty-four hexagrams also reached the entry level, eliminating the need to learn from scratch.
The day after tomorrow, when he entered the Sixty-Four Trigrams Secret Technique, Chen Qi only felt that his eyes were bright, and the whole world was different.
A lot of divination and divination experience appeared out of thin air in his mind, but there was no sense of disobedience, as if he had studied hard for years and months, and the use was smooth and smooth.
In addition, although they are all entry-level, the acquired sixty-four hexagram secret technique is not the same as the basic human body refining technique.
The latter is a martial arts training method, and even the entry-level realm requires strong physical support, so that it can be reflected.
However, the Secret Technique of the Sixty-Four Trigrams of the Day After Tomorrow is different. This secret technique belongs to the divination method and relies on the individual's understanding of the heaven and the earth.
With the help of Chen Qi's soul, which is far beyond ordinary people, it can fully play the role of the acquired sixty-four hexagrams.
After reading "Book of Changes" and obtaining the Secret Technique of the Sixty-Four Trigrams of the Day After Tomorrow, Chen Qi's system panel becomes:
Host: Chen Qi
Realm: mortal
Cultivation Techniques: Human Race Basic Body Refinement Technique (Level 1·Introduction), Bluestone Body Refinement Boxing (Xiaocheng), Acquired Sixty-Four Trigrams (Introduction)
Supernatural powers: none
Experience Points: 1030 points
Books currently reading: none
Library entry books: 2!
It has to be said that "Book of Changes" is worthy of being a classic written by ancient sages. Even if it is only literal and does not contain the spiritual will of ancient sages, it still brings Chen Qi a full thousand experience points, giving him a kind of The feeling of being rich.
"So, do you want to improve the basic Human Body Refinement Technique, or the Acquired Sixty-Four Trigrams Secret Technique?"
Chen Qi looked at the "Basic Human Body Refinement Technique (Introduction and "The Sixty-Four Trigrams of the Day After Tomorrow (Introduction that were already lit up on the system panel, and the whole person fell into an incomparable tangle.
Human Race Basic Body Refinement Technique, from the first-level entry to the first-level small achievement, needs to consume one hundred experience points.
If you think optimistically, a thousand experience points can completely make Chen Qi's human race basic body refinement first level complete, and it is impossible to say that he can reach the second level and become an eighth-rank martial artist.
And the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow, one thousand experience points, can only be upgraded from the entry level to the small achievement.
Well, the 64 hexagrams of the day after tomorrow require a thousand experience points to reach a minor level from entry.
Then it is to improve your martial arts realm and let yourself live with a certain self-protection power.
Or improve the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow, enhance one's own secret art, and better hide oneself?
Chen Qi frowned, thinking very tangled.
"Forget it, in just a few days, from an ordinary person who is not as good as a rank to a rank eight martial artist, isn't it obvious to tell others that there is a problem, let's improve the secret technique of the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow."
"First raise the acquired sixty-four hexagrams secret technique to a certain level, and then improve your own martial arts realm, so that the acquired sixty-four hexagrams secret technique will cover up, and it will be difficult for ordinary monks to find out."
"So, the system, improve the acquired sixty-four hexagrams!"
After a long time, Chen Qi finally made up his mind and decided to first improve the secret method of the acquired sixty-four hexagrams.
As for the acquired secret method of the sixty-four hexagrams, can it play a cover-up role for oneself?
Chen Qi had no doubts about this. After all, the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow were the unique skills of King Wen of Zhou.
If it is not strong, how can it be concealed from the great powers of the Yin and Shang Dynasty, who would have been chopped up into dumplings by the five horses of King Zhou long ago.
According to Chen Qi's calculations, as long as he can cultivate the secret method of the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow to a small degree, he can hide from the monks under the land gods.
If he can cultivate the secret method of the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow to the highest level, then even the immortals and gods might not be able to discover his disguise.
If the secret method of the acquired sixty-four hexagrams can be cultivated to the perfect state, then under Daluo, I am afraid that no one can infer the existence of Chen Qi.
This is the power of the acquired sixty-four hexagram secret method. It is not a supernatural power, but it is better than a supernatural power.
Here's the day after tomorrow, you can understand it as under Heaven, under destiny, or under Daluo.
Innate, it is beyond heaven and earth, beyond the destiny of time and space, and proves the existence of Da Luo.
Chen Qi didn't expect the sixty-four hexagrams of the day after tomorrow to be able to deceive the calculations of the powerful Daluo.
After all, the strong Daluo is beyond the fate of time and space, and he can beat people along the time line, which is definitely an existence he can't imagine.
An acquired secret method, no matter how strong it is, is only at the acquired level. It is completely two concepts from Xiantian Daluo.
If the acquired sixty-four hexagrams are replaced by innate gossips, it is similar.
Of course, what kind of existence is Daluo strong, how can he pay attention to a little ant like him.
What's more, if Journey to the West is really the Journey to the West in his memory, it is not certain whether there is a strong Luo in this world.
He doesn't need to be unfounded.
As Chen Qi's voice fell, he once again entered a state of enlightenment, and a large number of acquired sixty-four hexagram cultivation insights emerged in his mind, which made his face involuntarily show a look of sudden realization, and he had a deep understanding of the secret method of the acquired sixty-four hexagrams. New and deeper insights.
I don't know if it's been a day or two, or a year or two, and it seems like a century has passed.
When Chen Qi opened his eyes again, two pictures of the sixty-four hexagrams reflected from his pupils.
At the same time, Chen Qi's aura was more ethereal and profound, giving people an incomparable sense of mystery.
After a long time, the sixty-four hexagrams in Chen Qi's eyes disappeared, and people returned to ordinary again, only his eyes were as bright as stars.
With a smile on his lips, he was full of self-confidence, as if he knew everything in his heart, very much like a fortune-teller flickering on the street.
Acquired the sixty-four hexagrams, which can be compared to the great masters of divination in the human world.
So, don't call him Chen Jinshi in the future, please call him Master Chen! .
Chapter 16 Living in Chang'an is not easy. Buying a car and buying a house is the tears of poverty! (for collections, for flowers)
"Master, Young Master Zhang is here. He said he made an appointment with you to go to the Ministry of Officials today to take up his post."
"Officer accepted?"
Chen Qi, who was studying the "Analects of Confucius" hard in the study room in the courtyard of Yang's residence, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words of the book boy Chen An.
However, he quickly reacted.
It turns out that the ten-day vacation time after the palace exam has ended, and today is the day when these new scholars go to the Ministry of Officials to report and accept the appointment of the imperial court.
It is also fortunate that at the end of the palace exam, Zhang Han, who was also a new scholar, made an appointment to report to the Ministry of Officials together. Otherwise, he was fascinated by reading, and he might have missed the reporting date.
Once you miss your check-in date, that's no small matter.
Lightly reprimanded, but the Shangguan did not like it.
In severe cases, the appointment will be cancelled directly, the status of Xinke Jinshi will be deprived, and the appointment will never be accepted.
To be more serious, it would be ignoring the laws of the court, contempt for the imperial edict, imprisoned, distributed and conscripted into the army.
Therefore, after hearing Chen An's words, Chen Qi couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and felt that he needed to thank Zhang Han.
If Zhang Han hadn't remembered the agreement ten days ago to come to him on time, he would have forgotten the time for the official report.
"You ask Mr. Zhang to wait in the front hall for a while, and I will change my clothes when you are young."
Chen Qi was frightened for a while, but his face remained calm, and he gave Chen An an order.
It's not that he is hypocritical, but that he has been in the study for nearly ten days, and his clothes have long been messed up.
In addition, since you are reporting to the Ministry of Officials and accepting the appointment of the court, you must wear the Jinshi uniform issued by the court, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the court.
So after Chen An left, Chen Qi invited the servant girl in the courtyard to tidy up her hair style, freshen up a little, and then put on the Jinshi uniform issued by the imperial court.
After this was over, he walked slowly towards the front hall.
"I've seen Brother Zhang, and I've been waiting for Brother Zhang!"
As soon as Chen Qi came to the front hall, he saw a handsome young man sitting there drinking tea.
Zhang Han, courtesy name Renzhi, came from the Zhang family in Shuzhou, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary literary talent.
And because of his hearty and hospitable people, he is loyal to his wealth, and has the style of Mengchang, so he is very popular in the Xinke Jinshi circle.
The reason why Chen Qi and Zhang Han became friends is that the other party's personality is dictated by his enthusiasm, his words are pleasant, and it is difficult to make him feel bad.
The second is that the two lived close together, and they became friends after seeing each other more.
In addition, the relationship between the two of them is from the Yang family, and they belong to the Yang family, so the relationship is even closer.
"Brother Xian is in better health?"
"Brother Fool knows a doctor and Daoist, can't I write a letter and invite me to treat my virtuous brother?"
Zhang Han looked at Chen Qi, whose face was slightly pale and his spirit was a little lethargic, and said with a worried look on his face.
"Doctor everyone?"
After Chen Qi heard Zhang Han's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the image of himself he had just seen in the bronze mirror.
Pale and lethargic?
What's wrong with my body? It's all because I've been in the study for too long and I've worked too hard in reading, okay?
However, Chen Qi didn't explain too much, he just waved his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Zhang for your kindness, my brother's health is much better."
"That's good, if there is any need later, Brother Xian can just say it. It's getting late, so let's hurry up and report to the Ministry of Personnel."
Seeing that Chen Qi refused, Zhang Han did not insist any longer, and instead invited Chen Qi to report to the Ministry of Officials together.
This is a major event, it should be sooner rather than later, and it must not be delayed.
"it is good!"
In this regard, Chen Qi naturally has no objection, nodding in response.
Outside the courtyard of Yang's residence, Zhang Han had already prepared the carriage when he arrived, and Chen Qi was not polite and boarded the carriage directly with him, which was considered a hitchhiker.
Don't ask, ask is no money, ask is poor!
Living in Chang'an is not easy!
Even if the residence in the Yang Mansion does not cost money, the daily expenses are still not small.
In fact, there are also horse carriages in the courtyard of the Yang Mansion where Chen Qi is located, which is convenient for guests to use.
It's just that Chen Qi is rarely used.
After all, whether it is a small courtyard, or the carriage driver, servants and maids in the small courtyard, they are all belongings of the Yang family.
Chen Qi's concept has not changed, and he doesn't want to trouble others too much.
