Sixteen: Reading and Refining Qi
The next day, the monthly exam results were announced. Li Buzhuo’s craftsmanship A and the classics said that B would rank fifth with the overall score of B.
He Wenyun snatched the art of A, and said that the results in the A, ranked first in the A, while Feng Kaizhe ranked second in the A, according to the overall evaluation of A.
As expected, Bai You lost to Feng Kai's hardware baht, but he still sent Li Buzhuo hardware baht. Li Buzhuo did not refuse and accepted it.
After the monthly exam, the county school officially started. Early in the morning, students from fifty county school students, led by the professor, went to the holy courtyard behind Quanxin Pavilion to worship the seven saints of the Heavenly Palace.
Back then, the sages and sages planned to be a sage and a hundred schools of thought destroyed the previous dynasty, burned the Daxia Dragon Court on Xiyi Mountain, and set up the seventh heavenly palace to replace it, in charge of the laws of the world's criminal law, swords, weapons, construction projects, appointments and removals of spiritual officials, taxes and farming, fasting and ceremonies, and inheritance and practice.
The sacred courtyard worships the clay statues of seven saints in the Heavenly Palace. After worshiping the sages in the Heavenly Palace, Li Buzhuo began to attend morning classes with the students. After reciting scriptures in the morning class, he went to the library. According to the rules, he borrowed the Taoist Taoist collection, and he could borrow books related to the Taoist collection in the library.
The book collection teacher did not dare to make things difficult for him. Li Buzhuo did not take any time to borrow the "Kanyuan Shuxian" by Zhang Taichang, the founder of Xuanmen.
Zhang Taichang was the great-grandson of Zhang Yun and Chancellor Zhang. Although Zhang Taichang was not a saint, he studied Taoism very deeply. The "Kanyuan Shuzheng" he annotated was clarified and subtle, straightforward and easy to understand, and was widely circulated in the Xuanmen.
…………
More than ten days have passed.
Originally, Li Buzhuo was responsible for his daily life. Now, Sanjin was taken by Jaw Santong to learn the mechanism and even ate and slept. Although Li Buzhuo was still under the same roof as Sanjin, he was living alone, and suddenly he was a little uncomfortable.
But it's also easy to concentrate on reading.
In these ten days, I have been studying in my dream for several years.
Li Buzhuo finished reading "Kanyuan Shuzheng" and compared it back to the original text, his knowledge was improved, and his understanding of Puzhaotu became deeper. When he refining Qi, some principles that he seemed to understand but did not understand suddenly became clear.
So I borrowed several sets of comments from different versions.
Li Buzhuo gave the silk and ink that had not been collected in the collection of books to other teachers. Whenever he could not understand the scriptures, he would ask them tirelessly.
Although the etiquette was light, all the teachers were happy to answer the questions when Li Buzhuo learned hard and learned from one example.
In addition, Li Buzhuo spent a small amount of silver to buy some wine and meat, and became familiar with the two soldiers from the county school. From time to time, he could hear some past events and rumors from the county school from time to time.
As for Bai You and his group, Li Buzhuo didn't mess with them, and did not break up contact. He took out two gold baht and bought a banquet at Jinfu Tower to invite him back. Although the cost was large, it was also a necessary expense to build connections.
At first, other students were a little alienated from him because Li Buzhuo got close to Bai You and others. Later, they saw that Li Buzhuo was actually a calm person and got the fifth place in the monthly exam. Some people came to make friends and invited him to attend the Dharma Assembly, but Li Buzhuo was in a state of studying, so they temporarily refused.
He also spent eight silver barley to buy a 300-pound horn pot, and gave the kitchen chef a small stove. He ate enough meat and energy. After these days, the inner qi in Li Buzhuo's lower abdomen also grew stronger than the size of a longan.
…………
Since the misunderstanding of Li Buzhuo that time, during morning class, Yan Chixue would always watch Li Buzhuo study from a distance.
When Li Buzhuo reads, he often looks ten lines at a glance, and often turns to the next page after a few glances. Yan Chixue initially thought he was pretending, but his focused expression didn't look like he was fake.
However, the day before yesterday he read "Kanyuan Shuzheng" by Taichang's ancestor, and today it has become "Kanyuan Jingyi" by Qingyun Zhenren. Can you really understand it with a hammer and a stick in the east?
Yan Chixue didn't know why she was paying attention to Li Buzhuo, perhaps because Li Buzhuo was calmer than Bai You and the others, and she didn't have the nerd spirit of the same year buried in the volume.
If you compare the top three students in the county school, Feng Kai is too resentful, Gongshu Baibian is a madman who is obsessed with mechanical skills. Although He Wenyun is privately believed to have Confucian legacy by all the teachers, Yan Chixue always feels that he is too cunning.
After the morning class that day, Li Buzhuo took the books back to the school as usual, and Yan Chixue finally couldn't help but follow behind.
Under the Yuedong Gate of the Lobby and Beixue House, she took a scripture and rushed to Li Buzhuo. She asked Li Buzhuo a few obscure and controversial scriptures. After Li Buzhuo answered them one by one, Yan Chixue did not leave. She followed Li Buzhuo to discuss and headed to Beixue House.
Chunyu Yan was slightly stunned when she looked at Yan Chixue's back. She remembered that Yan Chixue had no interest in not even rouge and watermelon except for studying and practicing martial arts. Several male students had approached each other and did not lie to say anything. How could she take the initiative to find Li Buzhuo?
After returning to the school, Li Buzhuo looked at the girl standing by the door and was also puzzled.
These days Li Buzhuo had already noticed her peeking at him, but he didn't expect that she would come to the school hall.
Thin cherry lips, high nose bridge, and bright eyes. She is a very opinionated person, and she falls in love with him at first sight? It is unlikely.
But she stood at the door, he didn't say anything, and she didn't leave.
Li Buzhuo had to ask her to come into the house and boil water with a cast iron kettle.
Yan Chixue did not disappoint Li Buzhuo's judgment on her, and walked into the main house with a generous move with his long legs.
"Li Buzhuo, Li Buzhuo, Master Ya said that it is not convenient to study and leave, so he asked us to rent a yard outside..." Sanjin emerged from the quiet room and saw Yan Chixue, he was stunned and shrank back.
After Sanjin closed the door, Yan Chixue glanced at the eyes and saw the wooden parts of the machine in the house.
“Is there any inconvenience?”
"It's not inconvenient. Sanjin just arrived in Youzhou, so he was a little afraid of being a child. Sitting here." Li Buzhuo raised his chin at the table.
Yan Chixue smiled, sat at the table, holding tea bowls in both hands, and seemed not to be ready to leave for the time being.
"Sanjin? This guy is interesting."
"She was born with only three pounds of cradles, and she was used to calling her again." Li Buzhuo said.
Yan Chixue suddenly realized, moved away from the topic, and discussed the scriptures with Li Buzhuo again. Li Buzhuo talked to her in an orderly manner. After a while, the water boiled and the pot was boiled, so it was so fragrant.
While Li Buzhuo was busy, Yan Chixue saw two swords on Lan Qi on the east side of the house and suddenly asked: "I heard that you were in the border army before, have you ever killed anyone?"
"Killed."
Li Buzhuo poured tea for Yan Chixue, and sat at the table and gently blew the tea soup. Yan Chixue thanked him and muttered, "No wonder it looks so much..."
"What do you think?" Li Buzhuo put down the teacup.
"My father... and uncles. At that time, I had just learned to ride a horse, and the horse was slapped at me. When I saw them, I was honest and didn't dare to move. Later, I asked, and they said that people who killed a lot had murderous aura, and horses bullied the weak and were afraid of the strong, so they didn't dare to slapped at them. I think you also had murderous aura."
"Lingzun is also from the army?"
"I guessed it wrong, I'm doing the job of flying horses and flying dust." Yan Chixue smiled sweetly.
Li Buzhuo was stunned for a moment and laughed in silence: "It turns out to be a hero in the Green Forest."
"What kind of good man? The old Yan family has been bandits for generations. My father was the most notorious horse leader in the Hedong area when he was young." Yan Chixue waved his hand without caring, "But I was in peace after I was born, and I only listened to them when I was told." As he said that, he turned his eyes to the Baigang short sword mounted on Lan Qi, "This sword shape is unique. Does Cangzhou also produce white steel?"
"This is the sword of the Quanfeng Kingdom." Li Buzhuo walked over and took off the sword. "The Quanfeng Kingdom uses the white wolf as the totem, and the sword grid is engraved."
"I heard that men and women in the country, but women are all beautiful." Yan Chixue followed him to look at the dagger. The dog girl was beautiful and gentle, and was good at singing and dancing. She was known as the leader of the three best singing and dancing actors. She was very popular among aristocratic families. Some families even embarrassed the singers who were not able to treat guests.
"Indeed." Li Buzhuo remembered the scene where Feng Ying took his subordinates to hold an unblocked meeting with those dog lovers, and did not continue.
The two talked for a while and then turned back to discussing the scriptures.
Two quarters of an hour later, Yan Chixue looked out the window, stood up and said goodbye, took out a bunch of lotus root cloth bag and placed it on the table: "Thank you today, just give me three pounds if you don't like it." Without waiting for Li Buzhuo to say anything, he walked out of the house.
