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

Chapter 45 Study and Become a Saint
Their mission this time, in addition to recovering the Buddhist treasures, is to capture Duan Qianze of the Kongkong Sect who stole the royal treasures and put him in Changping Prison as a warning to others.

At worst, I can at least bring Duan Qianze's body back to get away with it.

The current situation where nothing has been accomplished is the worst.

Ning Xueyan's face turned very ugly after hearing this.

Duan Qianze deliberately scattered the Vajra Bodhi bracelet. After she no longer wore it, she could no longer use Taoist magic to track Duan Qianze's whereabouts, because the tracking Taoist magic was cast on the Vajra Bodhi bracelet.

As for the tracking magic performed on Duan Qianze's clothes, it was directly discarded after being discovered by Duan Qianze.

"Sir, a new letter has arrived from the capital."

At this time, a man from the Shenbu Division came running over from a distance and handed over the letter.

Ning Xueyan took it and opened it quickly.

After reading the contents of the letter, his face changed drastically.

"All members of the Divine Constables Division, cease your search and follow me back to the Divine Capital."

Ning Xueyan quickly gave the order and then set off directly.

She couldn't take care of the search for the Buddhist treasure and the capture of Duan Qianze for the time being.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing this, the other people from the Divine Capture Division knew that something big must have happened in Shenjing, otherwise Ning Xueyan would not be so anxious. After sending the return signal, they all followed Ning Xueyan's footsteps.

A small courtyard next to Yuanhe Street in Anyuan Town.

"Mr. Xuanming, I have read many books, but I still don't understand the principle that 'reading is also a form of spiritual practice'. I would like to ask you to enlighten me."

Shi Yi came to Lou Xuanming's residence and asked directly.

"How are you doing with the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Xuanming did not answer directly, but asked in return.

“I have memorized the content, but I am still pondering its true meaning.”

Shi Yi heard this and replied.

He has read the Four Books and Five Classics these days and has memorized the contents. As for the true meaning contained in them, he is still slowly understanding and comprehending them.

Unlike vernacular Chinese, the writing style of the Four Books and Five Classics tends to be classical Chinese. They seem to be able to be simply translated, but they also contain some truths that make people think deeply.

Shi Yi is good at Chinese, but he still needs some time to understand it and fully transform it into his knowledge.

He has been drinking century-old stone milk every day these days, which has put him in a very good learning state and his progress in learning has been very rapid.

"As you comprehend the true meaning of the book, you are practicing."

"You may not see it now, but you will understand it later."

Lou Xuanming was impressed by Shi Yi's learning progress.

With this kind of learning ability, if you calm down and study carefully for a few years, you will definitely succeed in the imperial examinations and make real achievements.

But he still looked puzzled at Shi Yi, so he thought for a moment and continued:
"Ancient saints were not born saints. Some achieved sainthood through hard work, some through creation, some through battle, and some through study."

"The truth in books is innumerable, but as long as one is willing to invest time and energy, and gather small things into a large one, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, one can also attain enlightenment one day and become a saint through study."

"There was once a great scholar who studied for sixty years. In one moment, he attained enlightenment and instantly transcended all tribulations, becoming a sage and a divine being."

"His name is still remembered in the Jixia Academy."

Lou Xuanming spoke in more detail, also intending to guide Shi Yi to study.

Perhaps Shi Yi has a good talent for martial arts, but this does not prevent Shi Yi from studying. It is not a bad idea to have both.

At least after he came into contact with Shi Yi, he felt that Shi Yi had this ability.

"Thank you sir for your advice."

After listening to Lou Xuanming's words, Shi Yi understood.

It's not that there is Confucianism and Taoism in this world, but the way of spiritual practice. After reaching a certain level, they all lead to the same destination.

Just like reading, after reading to a certain level, you will comprehend the Tao hidden between heaven and earth, and thus become a master of Taoism.

This is also what Lou Xuanming meant when he said, "Studying is also a form of spiritual practice." "As long as you understand."

"In a few days, I plan to travel abroad for a while to study, and then participate in this year's autumn examination."

"Starting tomorrow, the elementary school here will be suspended, and will not return until at least after the Autumn Examination."

"If you want to borrow books, you can come over during these two days."

"After I leave, if you encounter any problems, you can go to Ninghe County and ask a good friend of mine for advice."

"My good friend is a learned man. He and I had originally planned to take part in this year's provincial examination, but unfortunately his mother passed away, so he had to miss the exam."

"If you have any questions, you can ask him a few questions. For my sake, I think he will be able to answer some of your questions."

As Lou Xuanming spoke, he took out a written letter and handed it to Shi Yi.

Obviously, Lou Xuanming had written it in advance.

He had already made arrangements for studying abroad.

"Anyuan Town is not big. If you want to go further on the path of cultivation, then go out more often."

"My friend also likes to make friends with smart people."

Lou Xuan knew Shi Yi's abilities clearly.

Whether it is martial arts or studying, he is far beyond ordinary people.

In the words of Zhao Cheng when he asked him to teach Shi Yi, Shi Yi's martial arts roots are very outstanding and he will definitely enter the Anhe Martial Arts School in Ninghe County.

When he saw Shi Yi's study ability, he felt that as long as Shi Yi did not limit himself to one place, it would not be a problem for him to leave the county.

As for how far he can go, that depends on Shi Yi!

In this process, he also acts as a guide, and it depends more on Shi Yi's personal choice.

"Thank you, Mr. Xuanming. I am very grateful."

Shi Yi took the letter and bowed to express his gratitude.

He could feel the kindness in Lou Xuanming, a kindness that was pure and rare.

Especially in this world, it is even more rare.

“Reading is good, read more.”

Lou Xuanming patted Shi Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile.

When Shi Yi left the courtyard, he was carrying a lot of books with him, all of which were Lou Xuanming's collection.

Shi Yi took all of these back and copied them down.

Originally he wanted to take it slow, but Lou Xuanming was about to leave Anyuan Town and would not return until after the Autumn Examination, so he could only go faster now.

He planned to use electronic transcription to copy all the books in Lou Xuanming's residence.

Otherwise, after Lou Xuanming left, it would be difficult for him to come and borrow the book.

Books of this era are difficult to borrow. Unless you are related to them to a certain level, you cannot borrow them at all.

Even if you want to buy it, it is not easy to buy it.

Unlike on Blue Star, most knowledge can be found on the Internet.

"In the next few days, focus most of your energy on copying books."

"After copying the book, you can slowly read it and study it."

"Since you already know that studying is beneficial to your cultivation, then spend more energy on it!"

Shi Yi silently thought about what Lou Xuanming had just said.

The other party's words "once you realize the truth, you will overcome the calamity and become a saint" shocked Shi Yi's heart greatly.

At the same time, it also opened a new door for Shi Yi, giving him another option on his path of cultivation.

This path requires more reading.
