Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 10

It is relatively simple for Qin Chuan to open up the Sea of ​​Spiritual Consciousness in the next step, because this has little to do with his cultivation qualifications. As long as the dantian Qi has accumulated to a certain level and has enough strength to break through the ancestral orifice entrance, the experience of this level is the most important , which is also his biggest advantage.

He smelled the stench coming from his body, and his clothes were covered with a layer of disgusting sludge. In order to prevent his mother from nagging, he hurriedly washed them before his family got up.

A month later, I got good news from Qin Long. The Kuang Sha Island was breached by the government army, most of the pirates were killed and captured, and the pirates in the surrounding waters were also wiped out one after another. The bandits came to harass, but unfortunately, Ruan Feixiong was seriously injured and fled into the open sea by boat, leaving behind troubles in the end.

After hearing this news, the people of Qinjiawan breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. Even if Ruan Feixiong wanted to take revenge, it would be impossible in a short time. With enough time, the villagers can make more adequate preparations. I am more confident in resisting the harassment of pirates.

The fishing village returned to peace. People are always forgetful and can quickly forget the pain of the past. Qin Chuan, who has been a man for two generations, has a deeper understanding of this. Of course, the stone that was pressing on his heart fell to the ground temporarily, but he worked hard Cultivating and strengthening the power of self-protection is the current top priority!

As the midwinter approached, Old Master Wu was knocked down by a sudden cold snap, which was extremely dangerous for an old man of his age. His only daughter and son-in-law took him to Wanghai City to recuperate, but left Qin Chuan with After finishing his studies, he also entrusted the bookstore to him.

In fact, the old master's intention is very clear, if he dies, those classics that he treasured in his life will be given to this closed disciple.

Qin Chuan had long wanted to go into the bookstore. To understand the world, it is not enough to rely on his parents' words and deeds and hearsay, and those classics are the way for him to spy on the world.

There are three study rooms in total, the outer room is the living room, the left side is the bedroom, and the right side is the study room. There are two rows of bookshelves against the wall in the study room. The lower layer is also mixed with some animal skin books. The papermaking technology in this world is still relatively backward, and ordinary paper is rough and difficult to preserve, so paper books are not the mainstream.

Qin Chuan was not interested in those scriptures and poems, so after searching for a long time, he found a bamboo slip and a thick silk book.

The title of the bamboo slip is "Northern Qi History", and the country he lives in is called Northern Qi State. This bamboo slip records the history of Northern Qi from its founding to the present.

A few thousand words were quickly read. The Northern Qi Kingdom is one of the countries that split from the Great Qi Kingdom hundreds of years ago. It is located in the northeast of this continent called Hanhai. What surprised Qin Chuan was that the country's area is larger than that of the earth. The whole of Asia in the world is even bigger, and there are hundreds of countries like Beiqi in the vast sea continent.

Putting down the bamboo slips, he picked up the silk book again. This volume of silk book is called "Hanhai Fengwuzhi". The author claims that he is a low-level casual cultivator who likes to travel around. It is written that although the Hanhai Continent is known as a mainland, it is actually just a big island in the boundless sea. It is a pity that his cultivation level is low and he has no chance to travel to other continents. I hope that future generations can help make up for the shortcomings of this volume.

Just reading the beginning made Qin Chuan gasp. The world was so big that he didn’t expect it. He browsed the content casually, and there were some local customs, anecdotes and strange things recorded in it. It's really good as a pastime when you're working.

Since then, Qin Chuan has often lingered in Master Wu's bookstore. Just after the "Yuanshuo" festival, the bad news came that Old Master Wu died of illness in Wanghai City, which made him feel very depressed. The requirements are very strict, but how can he not know the deep care and expectation?As a closed disciple, he should go to Wanghai City to express his condolences.

In the eight years since he came to this world, apart from going out to sea with his father twice and wandering around nearby towns, this visit to Wanghai City is also his first time traveling far.

Besides his father, uncle Qin Long and others accompanied him to Wanghai City. Old Master Wu is highly respected in Qinjiawan and has made great contributions to the education here.

The sky is cloudy and the temperature is not too low, but the humid air makes people feel cold, and the "whistling" cold wind blows by. Sitting in the covered carriage is really cool. Before leaving, my mother specially sewed it for Qin Chuan. He wore a new leather waistcoat, which was still not very warm on his small body, which made him miss the warm down jacket very much.

"San'er, put it on!" Qin Biao took off his leather vest.

"Father, I can do it, your injury is not healed yet!" Qin Chuan returned the leather jacket, jumped out of the carriage, and ran after the carriage.

The speed of the carriage was not fast, but it was faster than people jogging. At first, everyone didn't think much of it, but Qin Chuan followed him for three or four miles and still didn't get on the carriage, nor was he pulled off, which was very remarkable.

Qin Long poked Qin Biao, "Fourth, your Xiao Chuan is not simple, you see he still has such a long breath after running for so long, I remember he was weak when he was a child!"

"That's right, didn't I tell you last time, my Xiao Chuan was enlightened by the immortal master. If the old immortal hadn't been old, maybe he would have accepted him as a disciple!"

"Tsk tsk... This is the fairy fate! By the way, next year there will be a meeting for accepting disciples of the immortal sect, why don't you let your Xiaochuan try it!"

Qin Biao said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that my mother won't want it. I heard that the baby from the Li family in Qipan Town became a fairy teacher ten years ago, but then died for no apparent reason, leaving no bones left behind." fate!"

"Yes, but why is there no danger? The child has this opportunity, so don't let it go!"

Qin Chuan felt warmer, so he got into the carriage, and his body became much lighter after introducing air into his body. In addition, he had been practicing lightness kung fu, so running a few miles was nothing. He also heard the conversation between his father and uncle. There was some emotion in my heart, but when I thought that there was a powerful Ruan Feixiong who might come to take revenge at any time, I temporarily let go of this thought.

The distance of more than one hundred miles, at the speed of this carriage, only traveled more than half at sunset, found a place to stay halfway, stayed overnight, and arrived at Wanghai City the next morning.

It is similar to the ancient city wall in memory. The surface of the wall is mottled, and the traces of repairs are clearly visible. There are checkpoints at the gate of the city to check the people coming and going, and tax will be charged for those who find goods.

There was some seafood on the carriage, and the negotiations with the soldiers and tax collectors failed, and they were forced to demand fifty cash in taxes.

After entering the city, he didn't find an inn to stay, but went to Master Zhao's house first. Zhao Chengfeng, the eldest son of Mr. Wu, was the son-in-law of Mr. Wu. His daughter married him and gave him a future, so although Zhao Chengfeng is a son-in-law, he is no different from his own son. He often goes to Qinjiawan to visit his father-in-law, and Qin Chuan naturally knows him.

Hearing that people from Qinjiawan came to pay respects, Zhao Chengfeng greeted them in person without putting on the airs of being a master, and led them into the mourning hall with a few words of greeting. Wife, two children about the same age as Qin Chuan.

The beautiful woman Zhao Wushi is the only daughter of Mrs. Wu, her boudoir name is Wu Yue'er, next to her is Zhao Jie, who is still young but already has a bit of a handsome manly demeanor, and another girl who looks like a jade carving is called Zhao Qian, the two of them They are a pair of sons and daughters of Zhao Chengfeng.

Qin Chuan paid homage according to the etiquette, and then the two sides entered the side hall to talk.

After being polite for a while, Wu Yue'er called Qin Chuan aside, "Little brother, my father told me before he died that the Qinjiawan study will be given to you. I hope you don't waste your studies, and you will achieve something early!"

"Yes, Senior Sister, you also need to express your condolences, seeing that you are much more haggard than years ago!"

Wu Yue'er stroked his head. His father was quite optimistic about this closed disciple before he was alive, and the little guy was indeed a sensible child. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a generation behind, coupled with the disparity in family circumstances between the two parties, it would be nice to get married with his own Qian'er .

Qin Chuan was a little unnatural by this beautiful woman's intimacy, but at this moment Zhao Jie and Zhao Qian followed, and Wu Yue'er was distracted by them, "Why don't you two call people? Taught you?"

"He's not as old as me, how can he be called uncle? Not to mention a countryman, hmph!" Zhao Jie raised his face with a look of disdain, and Zhao Qian next to him gave a strange smile, and hugged Wu Yueer arm, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Wu Yue'er showed helplessness, "Xiao Chuan, don't take offense, it's his father who spoiled them!"

Qin Chuan naturally didn't care about the two little babies, just as his father yelled, he hurried back to the side hall.

"Chuan'er, Mr. Zhao asked if you would like to stay in Zhao's residence, so that you can study with the young master then?"

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I am too young to disturb you!"

Reading is just a matter of taking the imperial examination. Affected by the memory of his previous life, he has long been discouraged by the officialdom, so he doesn't care about studying, not to mention he is not used to seeing other people's faces.

"Well, your father intends to let you participate in the selection meeting of the fairy gate. Jie'er and Qian'er will also participate at that time. If you fail the selection, it will not be too late to enter the school!"
