Chapter 4: The Sea of Tribulation and the Lighthouse

Ji Chen walked into the quiet room.

The decoration in the quiet room is simple, and a set of pure wood tables and chairs have become moist due to years of use, with a layer of crystal jade.

There were not many objects on the table, only two books were placed, "The Analects of Confucius" and "Catalogue of All Things".

These two books are also two must-read enlightenment books for the human race in this era, and they can be said to be one for everyone.

The former is a thin book, which is a rare book left by the old era, and is relatively complete, describing the cognition and views of human society by the ancestors of the old era.

Among the first batch of powerful people who awaken true words, many of them can find their origins in their natal characters such as "benevolence", "righteousness", "ritual", etc.

The latter is much thicker. It is a great powerhouse in the Great Le Kingdom after the new era. He deeply feels that he is young and ignorant. If you want to understand the Analects of Confucius, it is difficult to understand the true meaning of the words from it.

So he spent thirty years traveling through the eight wildernesses, observing the appearance of all things in nature, knowing about the unfinished things, and combining some remaining books of the old era, he spent another three years to compile this book.

The strong man felt that what he saw and knew was just a drop in the ocean, so he was unwilling to name it as a picture book and map, and only got the word "catalog".

Those who study this book mostly use flowers, birds, fish, insects, and rare beasts.

Ji Chen's younger brother Ji Zhen awakened the word "Lin" from it, and was named the hero.

Ji Chen pulled open the chair and sat down, took a deep breath

The books he is going to try today are not these two!

Ji Chen was not seeking medical treatment because he was ill and was in a hurry. There were two reasons why he didn't choose.

First, those two books are the classics of enlightenment. The original owner has read them many times. It is long time to wake up.

Second, those two books are too long, and it seems like a drop in the bucket after two hours of investment.

He opened the book he borrowed from the front desk

Four big words are written on the cover

"Selection of Remains"!

This book has no so-called system, and it cannot be said to be the author. It just collects many fragments of old civilizations.

Many articles are so broken that they have no context. It is very difficult to read them alone, let alone what they have learned?

This is a book that almost all parents will not let their children choose to read. At most, they will read it once. If the blind cat hits the dead mouse, do you really want to invest your energy in it?

Then you have to read it first!

But this is Ji Chen’s only choice after thinking about it!

Ji Chen paid for it, what is his biggest advantage as a time traveler?

Is it wisdom? It is power?

No, it's a bad information!

As a top campus debater, he devoted his energy and time to "treat" in those years!

If you really let him write the Four Books and Five Classics in the whole chapter, he doesn't have the ability.

But if you say a paragraph to add context, he will have the confidence to recall it!

Ji Chen thinks this is his biggest advantage in rebirth!

He just took a brief look at "Selection of the Remains" and he had an impression of several of them!

Ji Chen took a deep breath

Fight!

He skipped the two articles that he had no impression of at all and turned to the third one.

His fingertips streaked through the passage, as pious as if he had picked up a book on the first day, and he chanted softly.

"The book says, Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, Duan Budi..."

Ji Chen recited it while thinking that this should be a famous article in "Zuo Zhuan".

Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan tells the story of Duke Zhuang of Zheng and his younger brother Gongshu Duan fighting against each other.

The background of this story is that in the late years of the Zhou Dynasty, the control over the feudal princes was greatly reduced, so the war of annexation began between the vassal states, and the struggle between internal rulers for power also intensified.

In order to compete for the throne, close relatives will become desperate enemies!

Ji Chen shook his head. I don’t know this background, so it’s no wonder no one can understand this era.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chen had just finished reading the last sentence "Is this what it means?" and was about to turn the article.

A sudden change occurred!

A white light rose from the slightly yellowed book and hit Ji Chen's eyebrows directly!

Ji Chen felt warm, just like bathing in the spring afternoon sun, and couldn't help but get my eyes on it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, he was shocked by the situation in his mind!

A practitioner who has not entered the literacy realm should have been pitch black in his mind. If he concentrates, he will feel as if he is floating in the black ocean.

You can't see things, can't use your strength, and you can't even hear it when you shout, making people realize that you are extremely small compared to this world.

This stage is called the sea of ​​suffering before entering the formal practice.

If the true words that are destined to be with you are connected, they will project the appearance of a lighthouse in the sea of ​​suffering and guide you to swim towards it.

Generally, within about six months, practitioners can swim under the lighthouse.

At this time, the lighthouse will turn into a boat, leading the practitioners out of the sea of ​​suffering and into the realm of literacy.

Ji Chen had also checked before. After he came through time, the sea of ​​bitterness in his mind was also pitch black.

But now, it can be called brightly lit!

At least dozens of large and small spots flashed in Ji Chen's misery!

Some light spots suddenly increased their flickering frequency when Ji Chen looked over it!

Ji Chen was shocked

"What's the matter?"

Didn’t I hear that the real texts were all very faint when they first established a connection?

Most of my head was very weak, but how many of them were bright was almost as bright as the large glass light bulbs that were installed in the bathroom in my previous life?

Moreover, others only have one lighthouse when awakening their natal words, how can they choose like themselves?

"Sure enough, I'm still different!"

Ji Chen felt relieved. Although he didn't know why this happened, he was not in a hurry now.

I could go back and explain to my father that I had found the lighthouse, and it was only a matter of time before I could awaken the true words.

Let’s pick the brightest one and work harder. It’s not impossible to wake up before the high school entrance examination!

Just when Ji Chen was thinking so, he was shocked to find that the lighthouse in the sea of ​​suffering was a little dim, without exception.

The weakest light even disappeared!

"how so?"

In the face of great joy and sorrow, Ji Chen could not control himself and shouted out, and a few traces of sweat oozed out of his forehead.

Fortunately, his former debater career has tempered his mentality, and he forced himself to calm down and think about the reasons.

"Calm down, be sure to be calm"

"Think about the reasons!"

"First confirm the external factors. The book "Selection of Relics" is just a printed product, which can rule out the special features of the book itself."

"Look at the internal factors. Let's assume that the time traveling is indeed special, such as having a strong affinity for real words, which has precedents in history."

"This will explain why I can sense so many real words at once."

"Okay, the second question, why are these lighthouses suddenly dimming?"

"The first possibility is that my particularity itself is temporary and will gradually disappear with the degree of adaptation between myself and this body."

Ji Chen closed his eyes and shook his head.

"No, the brightness of the lights is very stable now, and it even lit up two points while I was thinking, and there was no sign of a continuous decline. It should not be temporary."

"The second possibility is that these words are spiritual and have not been read for too long. They are happy because of my attention. After this freshness, they will disappear."

"No, it shouldn't be possible. When I selected this book, there was no dust on it. Someone should read the new and old levels within a year. What's more, this book is not an isolated book. I don't know how many people read the four countries together."

“What else is possible?”

Suddenly, Ji Chen thought of something.

His expression became relaxed, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Sure enough, it's because of this!"

As Ji Chen finished speaking, the lighthouse in his mind burst out with an unprecedented blazing light!
Chapter completed!
