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

Chapter 41 Reading is also a form of spiritual practice
Shi Yi originally wanted to ask some questions about the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" when he went to the Taoist temple in Ninghe County.

Now it seems that I can’t ask.

If possible, it would be best to borrow books related to Taoist practice and understand them on your own.

You can even become a disciple and join a Taoist temple to practice the skills there, so that you won't have any trouble.

This idea flashed through Shi Yi's mind and became one of his alternative options.

"What did Mr. Xuanming mean by 'reading is also a form of self-cultivation' at the end?"

"Could it be that there are still Confucian cultivation methods in this world?"

Shi Yi's mind kept surfacing with the last words Lou Xuanming said to him.

This made him somewhat confused.

"The Jixia Academy is one of the holy places in the world. Could it really be a place for cultivating Confucianism?"

Shi Yi thought of the several holy places mentioned by Lou Xuanming.

Jixia Academy, Zhengyi Taoist Temple and Daputuo Temple.

Being named as a holy place, it is naturally not a simple place.

He has now come into contact with two of them. One of them is the Jixia Academy. When he became his apprentice, the owner of Anyang Martial Arts School, Lu Feng, mentioned that the founder of the martial arts school was related to the Jixia Academy. The small Zhoutian strength-training boxing he practiced came from the Jixia Academy.

As for the other Great Putuo Temple, it is the mother bead of the Vajra Bodhi bracelet he obtained. The "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" inside must be an important practice method of the Great Putuo Temple, but he is not sure to what level of preciousness it is.

He had never come into contact with Zhengyi Taoism, but judging from its name, it should be a major Taoist sect.

Shi Yi is not sure whether the Taoist temple in Ninghe County is related to it.

"call!"

"Don't think too much. I still have a lot of time. I'll take it one step at a time."

"Find an opportunity and consult Mr. Xuanming in detail."

Shi Yi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Lou Xuanming's words still left a mark in his heart.

On the way back to the martial arts gym, Shi Yi heard the sound of weapons clashing at the entrance of an alley not far away.

But he ignored it.

Behind the arrival of the Divine Constables, there has been no peace in Anyuan Town these days.

People from the Five Tigers Gang, the Golden Sun Gang, and the Blood Sword Hall often clashed with each other, resulting in many deaths.

Official figures such as the town magistrate seemed to be unaware of the situation and allowed the gangs to fight each other.

In Lu Feng's words, the dead were gang members and the government would not care at all.

As to whether ordinary people were affected, Shi Yi was not sure, but he was very clear that people of status in Anyuan Town were definitely not affected.

These gangs in Anyuan Town bully the weak and fear the strong, and will only wield their knives against those who are weaker.

Shi Yi can't control it, nor does he have the ability to control it.

Ignore it, that's what Lu Feng told him.

Not long after Shi Yi left, several wounded men came out, their knives stained with blood!
If we ignore the bloodstains flowing out of the alley, we can say that peace has returned to the alley.

"Next time I go to Mr. Xuanming's place, I'll borrow the Four Books and Five Classics and copy them down!"

After Shi Yi completed his training at Anyang Martial Arts School and returned to his residence, he already had an idea in his mind.

It doesn't matter whether Lou Xuanming had a hidden agenda or just wanted him to read more.

Reading the Four Books and Five Classics would not be a waste of time for him. Since he had already started reading, he naturally had to read some of the world's representative books on scientific examinations.

The Four Books and Five Classics are books that have been passed down in this world for a long time and are very representative. Moreover, copying books is not a problem for Shi Yi. He has an electronic copying method that is fast and convenient.

Given some time, he could complete the transcription of all of Lou Xuanming's books. Shi Yi had this idea partly because Lou Xuanming had told him that the famous martial arts masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty had all read a lot of books.

Obviously, reading more is also helpful for martial arts practice.

He doesn't understand the connection now, it's just that he hasn't reached that stage yet.

Shi Yi opened the water bag and drank a small sip of the hundred-year-old stone milk as usual. Now he basically drinks it after finishing his practice, because he found that after completing the practice, the nourishing effect of the hundred-year-old stone milk is better, and it can also repair hidden injuries in the body.

When practicing martial arts over time, some hidden injuries will still accumulate. Now you can directly avoid them by using the Hundred-Year-Old Stone Milk!

And since he drank the hundred-year-old stone milk, he felt that his mental state was getting better and better.

"The hundred-year-old stone milk is almost finished!"

"It has been six days since the people from the Divine Constable Department left, and seven days since I last collected the Hundred-Year-Old Stone Milk."

"The number of people going to Jiuhua Mountain has decreased in the past few days. There are only a few people going there today, and there will definitely be even fewer tomorrow!"

"I'll go over tomorrow night to see if the century-old stalactites are still there. If they are, I'll see how much has gathered and roughly when it will be full."

Shi Yi was also estimating the time in his mind.

He has been patient these days and has not gone there to avoid being discovered when he goes there.

Although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible. There were so many people in the past, and it is not surprising that some people had special abilities. If someone happened to have a special ability to find people, it would not be a good thing for him to go to Jiuhua Mountain.

Since he wasn't inside, there wouldn't be any noise, so naturally no one would be able to notice.

Therefore, Shi Yi planned to wait one more day.

Only by being a patient hunter can you gain more.

According to the current situation, as time goes by, the number of people who return empty-handed will increase with each passing day, and the number of people entering Jiuhua Mountain in search of opportunities will decrease, and it will be safer for him to obtain the hundred-year-old stalactite.

When no one thinks about looking for opportunities in the future, no one will discover the secret of the century-old stalactite!

"I've almost consumed all the supplies I have now, and I need to replenish my stock, otherwise it will take longer to get there."

The century-old stalactite in Shi Yi’s water bag has run out!

This consumption rate is also the result of Shi Yi's restraint, otherwise he would have drunk more.

The effect of Centennial Stone Milk is very mild, and the energy it contains is easily absorbed by the human body, so it has no effect if you drink more of this treasure.

Just like the first time Shi Yi drank half of the stock directly, there was no bad condition in his body.

The energy stored in his body is also absorbed by his body during his daily practice, improving his practice progress.

"It's getting late now!"

"Let's go back to Blue Star and rest!"

Shi Yi rested in the house for a while. When he felt that his body had almost absorbed the century-old stone milk, he planned to leave.

He won't stay here after nightfall.

The thought moved Shi Yi, but he frowned slightly.

Because he heard footsteps.

"That Jiao guy seems to have run away from the front. Chase him! He's seriously injured and can't run far. We don't want him to get away!"

"He is the hall master. If we catch him, the credit will be enough for us brothers to rise to the top."

Outside the house, a group of people's voices were heard, followed by noisy footsteps running into the distance.

Obviously tracking.

These days, Anyuan Town is very uneasy, whether it is day or night, and it is even more uneasy at night. Lu Feng also told Shi Yi not to go out after dark.
