Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 25 Reading to Understand the Meaning
Anyuan Town.

A small courtyard next to Yuanhe Street.

"Mr. Xuanming, this is my fellow apprentice Shi Yi. I admire your knowledge and want to study with you."

Zhao Cheng brought Shi Yi to Xiucailou Xuanming's residence.

This is a somewhat old thatched courtyard. Although it looks clean, it is very simple and fits the definition of a shabby room.

Lou Xuanming's clothes looked a little old, but they were washed very clean and not dirty. He looked very energetic.

The elegance of a scholar is well reflected in him.

"I am Shi Yi, your disciple, and I would like to ask for your guidance, sir."

Shi Yi bowed and said.

There was also a bundle of money with him.

"Well, come in!"

Lou Xuanming looked at Shi Yi seriously, and after a while, he nodded.

Shi Yi and the other man followed Lou Xuanming with their gifts.

"Have you read the Four Books?"

Inside the room, after the three of them sat down, Lou Xuanming looked at Shi Yi and asked slowly.

"Sir, I haven't read it yet. I only know some of the characters, not all."

Shi Yi answered truthfully.

He knew that Lou Xuanming was asking about his knowledge.

In the Zhou Dynasty, although there was also the idea of ​​cultivating education from a young age, due to different living environments, some people started studying at an older age.

Shi Yi's situation is also normal.

Lou Xuanming had previously learned about Shi Yi's situation from Zhao Cheng. He knew that Shi Yi was already a martial arts boy in the Qi and Blood Realm, had a high talent in martial arts, and was accepted as a disciple by Lu Feng, the owner of Anyang Martial Arts School.

The imperial examination was not Shi Yi's future path, but learning martial arts also required literacy.

"Well, I'll be teaching the children in the house tomorrow morning. Come over and join me!"

Lou Xuanming nodded slightly and said.

The Zhao family had a long history with him, so when Zhao Cheng approached him, he didn't refuse outright. He just asked Zhao Cheng to bring someone over to take a look.

At this time, he saw that Shi Yi was handsome and spoke in an elegant manner, and did not look like a rough and crude warrior, so he agreed.

He was already teaching elementary school to young children, so having Shi Yi as an additional person was naturally no problem.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi bowed and said.

The two of them left together, silently leaving behind a gift of money.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I think this Mr. Xuan Ming is no ordinary person. His achievements in the imperial examinations should be more than just Tongsheng, right?"

After Shi Yi and Zhao Cheng left the courtyard, Shi Yi finally asked.

Originally, he thought that Zhao Cheng had found him an old, sour scholar who would never become a scholar in his lifetime through the imperial examinations.

Although such a person may not be well educated, it is not a problem to teach him to read.

Shi Yi wanted to study, in fact, the main purpose was to learn to read. As long as he could read, it could solve many problems for him.

As for learning and knowledge, those are things that are accumulated slowly.

Through his own efforts, he mastered a lot of knowledge on Blue Star; in the Central World, he was also confident that he could read more books and master more knowledge.

With his photographic memory, it is not a problem for him to acquire more knowledge. Give him some time and he will be confident of taking part in the scientific examination.

"You've figured it out, Junior Brother!"

"Originally, I found an old student for my junior brother, but that old student is in poor health. He fell ill two days ago and has gone to the countryside to recuperate. He will not be returning to Anyuan Town in the short term."

"You were anxious to find a teacher for your studies, and my father had mentioned Mr. Xuanming to me. I tried to bring this up with him, and he asked me to bring you here to see him."

"Originally, I wasn't entirely confident about letting you, Junior Brother, study with Mr. Xuanming, but fortunately, Mr. Xuanming agreed."

"As for Mr. Xuanming, although he only holds the title of Scholar, he possesses a profound knowledge." "My father told me that Mr. Xuanming is the most likely candidate to pass the Juren exam in Anyuan Town in the past ten years."

Zhao Cheng explained with a smile.

He saw that Shi Yi had greater potential than he had expected, so he put more effort into helping Shi Yi find a husband!
In his father's words, since you can see that your friend has great potential and good character, you should do your best to help him.

In this way, we can show our sincerity and deepen the relationship.

He saw clearly that Shi Yi's success, in addition to his recommendation, was also related to the scholarly spirit in Shi Yi. This was the feeling Shi Yi gave him when he first saw him, and it was also the source of his good impression of him.

This scholar's spirit has nothing to do with the amount of knowledge he has mastered, but rather with his mentality.

To use the words of a scholar, you can tell at first glance that he is a good student.

Some people can tell at a glance whether someone has a talent for studying, even without personally teaching them.

"Reading reveals the meaning."

"Junior brother, if you want to go further on the path of martial arts cultivation, just knowing how to read is not enough. You need to read more books."

"This is what my father told me when I was studying, and now I want to tell my fellow junior students about it."

Zhao Cheng looked at Shi Yi with a serious expression.

Lou Xuanming's willingness to accept Shi Yi as his student also made Zhao Cheng value Shi Yi more.

"Junior brother has learned a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi bowed and thanked him.

He naturally knew the importance of reading, which was why he always wanted to learn to read and write after coming to the Central World.

At this time, someone specifically reminds you to pay attention to reading. This person is not harming you, but helping you, and it also proves that this person is a trustworthy person.

"Junior brother once asked me about the way of immortals. I don't know much about it. I only know that those masters practice Taoism."

"When I was a child, my father took me to a Taoist temple in the county town to check my talent for Taoism. After we came back from the temple, my father asked me to learn martial arts."

"Although my father didn't say it, I don't think I have the talent for Taoism, otherwise I should stay in the Taoist temple to practice."

Zhao Cheng talked as he walked.

Shi Yi had hinted at this matter before, but at that time Shi Yi had not yet broken through the Qi and Blood Realm. In Lu Feng's words, he couldn't put too much thought on other things.

Taoist masters are rare in town, but some do pass by.

He had also seen Taoist masters fighting each other, so he naturally knew that such people were not simple.

Flying and hiding in the ground are magical powers that everyone wants to master, and he is no exception.

Shi Yi listened carefully. This was what Shi Yi had always wanted to know.

"Junior brother, if you want to know more, you can go to the Taoist temple and ask when you go to Ninghe County in the future."

"The Taoist temple in Ninghe County is very famous."

Zhao Cheng glanced at Shi Yi and continued.

In his eyes, Shi Yi will definitely join the Anhe Martial Arts School in Ninghe County in the future, and his achievements are likely to surpass Lu Feng.

"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."

After hearing this, Shi Yi's eyes sparkled.

He didn't expect that not many people knew about Zhao Cheng's identity.

Although it was just a small town, his father was still an official.

Who says Luxu is not an official?

"Junior brother, there's actually no need to pay too much attention to matters of cultivation. If you have achieved success in martial arts cultivation, you will be very strong and your combat power will be terrifying."

"Among the famous officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many were masters of martial arts, but on the contrary, there were not so many masters of Taoism."

"So, Junior Brother, you should improve your martial arts skills first!"

Zhao Cheng said with a smile.

The practice of Taoism is very mysterious, but the practice of martial arts is not bad if it is successful.
