The emperor's family raised me in poverty? But I have an innate ability.

Chapter 34: The Four Arts Enter the Tao, the Great Achievement of Confucianism and Taoism!
in the house.

After dinner, Su Changqing returned to the house, took out the Eight Treasures Compass and examined it carefully.

This compass is bronze in color, with ever-changing Taoist patterns, and its mystery is difficult to understand.

From the center of the compass, there are lines of tiny seal characters engraved.

This seal script is very similar to the immortal seal script that Su Changqing had learned, but there are subtle differences. It is more like the ancient Zen text of Buddhism.

"Is this a secret method? Or some other formula?"

Su Changqing took a quick look but had no clue, so he could only put it aside and go see the teacher tomorrow.

After putting down the compass, Su Changqing took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to practice calligraphy and painting.

In the past, he always thought he was a fast learner, so even though he didn't get any praise from his teachers, he was still proud of it.

But today, when he saw his senior brother who had followed the teacher for only half a year, he realized that his ability was nothing at all.

He lost in all four of the four aspects of the competition, namely music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although his senior brother did not criticize him too harshly, it still aroused his competitive spirit.

"We are all the same age, and I have been following the teacher for longer, so there is no reason for me to lose to others."

"Since I don't have enough talent, I'll make up for it with hard work!"

"The teacher said that he has arranged a literary competition for me soon. Although the chances of winning are slim, I still have to try my best!"

Su Changqing had a determined look on his face and practiced even more seriously.

The night passed in a flash.

As soon as it was dawn, Su Changqing left home early and went straight to the study.

But when he met Erniu on the way, he was stunned.

"Brother Erniu, who beat you?"

Looking at Erniu with a bruised face and nose, Su Changqing was stunned.

"Hehe, Mei Shi, I fell down on the road."

Erniu groaned in pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Changqing, remember to say hello to your senior brother for me."

"By the way, you must teach me the Star Sword Technique in the next two days. I must learn it as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Erniu limped away.

Su Changqing fell into deep thought upon seeing this.

He didn't understand why wrestling ended up like this, nor did he understand what the relationship was between wrestling and swordsmanship.

After a while, Su Changqing shook his head and ran straight to the study.

But when he arrived at the library and saw Shuhan with two panda eyes, his eyes widened immediately.

"Brother, don't tell me you fell down too?"

Shuhan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't fall, I ran into a blind bear and got beaten!"

After saying this, he looked at Chang Qing and said seriously:
"Changqing, accompany me to paint today, I must get my revenge!"

Li Qingchen, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he heard this.

Erniu and Shuhan had a big fight yesterday, but the result was a draw.

Although Shuhan's cultivation is higher, Erniu is the best sword cultivator in attacking, and it is hard to tell who is better between the two unless they kill each other.

So in the end, the two men fought to exhaustion, like a fight between gangsters, punching and kicking, and neither of them gained the upper hand.

As for Shuhan asking Changqing to accompany him in painting, it was also to improve his skills.

After all, although Changqing's painting skills are inferior to his calligraphy skills, they are not much different.

With Changqing's comprehension surpassing Shuhan, it is only a matter of time. The exchange between the two will help Shuhan improve his painting skills.

"Brother, did you have a fight with Erniu?"

Su Changqing said with a smile: "Brother, you are really amazing. A scholar like you beat Erniu like that."

Shuhan grinned when he heard this, "Hey, when a scholar gets angry, he can be very scary."

"No more talking, come and draw with me."

……

The days passed by.

With the arrival of Shuhan, Qingshan Village became much more lively, and Su Changqing also gradually became busier.

During the day, he accompanied Shuhan in practicing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in the evening he practiced swordsmanship in the grove with Erniu.

After taking a short nap at night, he continued to study the mysterious compass. Although he was very tired, Su Changqing felt very fulfilled. He could feel that he was improving every day.

And five days later, in the evening, in the grove.

Su Changqing danced swiftly in the forest with a wooden sword in hand, the seven stars under his feet sparkled, and the sky was full of stars.

At this time, dead leaves within a radius of 100 meters flew up and arranged around Su Changqing in the same position as stars.

Under the shining of endless stars, a beautiful picture is formed.

When the sword force was pushed to the peak, Su Changqing suddenly swept the wooden sword in his hand and shouted softly,
"cut!"

boom!
In an instant, hundreds of stars twinkled in the sky, casting down dazzling light, which turned into a silver sword beam about ten feet long and landed in the woods in an instant.

With a loud roar, more than ten large trees were cut in half.

And just as the sword swept out, bits of starlight gathered on Su Changqing's forehead, and a shining Taoist seal slowly emerged.

"My life secret technique!"

Shu Han, who was watching from the side, could not help but exclaimed,
"Heavenly rank middle-grade swordsmanship, in just five days, he actually condensed his innate secret technique?"

"If this is activated with cultivation and mental skills, wouldn't it attract thousands of stars to compete for glory?"

Shuhan looked shocked. Even though he knew that Changqing had extraordinary comprehension, he still felt it was unreal every time he saw him.

This kind of talent is simply stronger than any other physique.

"Hey, it's done!"

Erniu also looked happy at this time.

As a bystander and a sword practitioner who practices the same secret book, Su Changqing's process of condensing his innate secret skills was of great benefit to him.

"After today, I will be one step closer to mastering the Star Sword!"

While Erniu was excited, he glanced at Shuhan beside him provocatively.

"How about it, nerd? Let's find a place to practice later?"

His magical power has greatly increased, he has to get back at his own game no matter what!

"Insanity!"

Shu Han gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it because you rely on Chang Qing to teach you?"

"Even if you have mastered the Star Sword, I will still beat you!"

"When you have condensed your life secret skills like Chang Qing, it won't be too late to be arrogant."

Erniu said disdainfully: "Tsk, do you think I don't know?"

"During the day, it was said that Changqing and you were learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but weren't you just secretly learning?"

"You are Senior Brother Changqing, and that's all?"

Shuhan's face suddenly turned red when he heard this.

It has to be said that he benefited a lot from observing Changqing's studies.

The progress that can be seen with the naked eye is actually more thorough than if the teacher taught in person.

However, Shuhan still said firmly:

"Chang Qing taught me, and he also taught you, so let's practice it later!"

Erniu chuckled, "That's exactly what I meant."

……

Erniu and Shuhan seemed to have found their opponent. They fought every three days and fought every five days.

Although the results were tragic, the progress of both was obvious.

This is at least ten times faster than their progress if they practiced alone.

However, Su Changqing's progress was even more terrifying!
In the first month of studying with Shuhan, his painting skills improved. The mountains and rivers seemed real and his paintings were like the world.

In the third month of competition, his chess skills had become perfect. Sitting in front of the chessboard, he could make a dragon out of his moves and an immortal out of all the pieces he gathered.

In the sixth month of learning, his music was in harmony with the Tao, and the movement of the strings could captivate people and make them feel as if in a dream.

At this point, after two years, Su Changqing had mastered all four arts of Taoism and achieved perfection in Confucianism!
And on the day when Su Changqing completely achieved enlightenment, a message came from Li Qingchen's communication talisman.

"Junior brother, the two-year deadline has expired, and the literary competition is about to begin. Will you bring your disciples with you to fight?!!"

ps: It’s a new month, please give me monthly votes and recommendation tickets. Thanks a lot, little author!
