Chapter 08 Genius

It was like having a dream that Xu Xian felt that his soul had become unprecedentedly ethereal, as if he was enlightened. The scriptures that were originally incomprehensible in the "Big Cave Sutra" were suddenly clearly all of them.

This has nothing to do with Xu Xian's talent and knowledge.

After planting the root of the Tao, even if Xu Xian’s eyes do not recognize Ding, the meaning of these scriptures will naturally appear in his mind.

It's like a confused fool who suddenly gained wisdom and realized the vitality of the vast world and the mystery of all things in the world.

Without deliberately pulling, Xu Xian, who was sitting cross-legged towards the sky, followed the breathing method recorded in the scriptures, and began to absorb the essence of the Taiyin star on the twenty-four stars as he breathed, and stored the energy of the five directions in his body.

As time goes by, Xu Xian's soul begins to change and his body is also changing.

Outsiders may not be able to feel this change very clearly, but Xu Xian himself knows it very well.

Of course, Xu Xian could not have many magical powers like the Taoist priest of Guangning in a short period of time, but he would have a lot of magical powers beyond natural phenomena sooner or later.

...

...

The bright moon is in the sky.

Small bridge and flowing water.

The river next to the alley flows quietly under the moonlight, and there is no one around, but there is a figure standing suddenly on an ancient stone arch bridge not far from Xu Xian’s house.

This person is Guangning, a Taoist priest from Maoshan who disappeared after he separated from Xu Xian during the day.

Guangning told Xu Xian that if he went to Zhenjiang Prefecture in the future, the two might have a chance to see each other again. The implication was naturally that he would leave Qiantang County now.

In fact, it is not the case.

After parting with Xu Xian, he quietly followed Xu Xian to this place.

Although for various reasons, he did not teach Xu Xian the method of practicing Taoism, but just gave a book of "The Great Cave True Sutra" and left, the two of them could be considered a causal involvement. He was curious about how Xu Xian would do it with the "The Great Cave True Sutra". He thought Xu Xian would suffer a lot. Maybe he would have no clue at that time and would not have the method to enter, and would even say that he was a liar!

Practicing Taoism is not an easy task. It has high requirements for talent. Many mortals cannot get started even if someone teaches them how to practice. Therefore, in this world, there are still a few people who can enter the Tao.

However, the development of things seems to be a little different from that of the Taoist priests in Guangning.

"this……"

In the dark night, Taoist priest Guangning looked at the little soul light that shone out from where Xu Xian was in front of him, and freely absorbed the energy of the five directions under the starry sky. The power of the stars was completely stunned, opened his mouth wide and could not close it, and there was no words.

After a while, the Taoist priest Guangning, who seemed to be deeply hit, shook his head with a wry smile and muttered: "This is impossible! No one teaches you, you can enter the Tao overnight! Under the guidance of your master, it took me more than half a month to succeed!"

Taoist priests in Guangning are experienced people and know very well how difficult it is to "plant the Tao" the first step in the path of cultivation.

When he presented Xu Xian with the "Big Cave Sutra", he only thought of two possibilities.

First, Xu Xian was unable to calm down and had no perseverance. After finding that the scriptures were too difficult and could not understand them at all, he put them aside and left them behind.

Second, Xu Xian was very patient. After repeatedly studying the "Da Cave True Sutra" hundreds of times, he gradually understood the mystery and slowly entered the Tao.

But now, Xu Xian almost felt ashamed of Taoist priest Guangning, and the difference was too big.

"It's true that I am talented and have a surprising fate, and my future is limitless. It seems that I have made a great opportunity?" Taoist priest Guangning murmured to himself.

He was proficient in facial expressions. When he saw Xu Xian for the first time outside the gate of Yihong Building, he suddenly felt a sudden feeling in his heart. He found that Xu Xian was not an ordinary person, so he treated Xu Xian differently. Otherwise, he would not have given the scriptures for no reason and formed this kind of good relationship.

But what he didn't expect was that his estimate of Xu Xian was still lighter.

"I'm really curious now. What changes will happen when I see you again in the future." Taoist priest Guangning finally smiled slightly, his figure floated away from the arch bridge, and soon disappeared into the night.

This time, he really left Qiantang County.

...

...

Dongfang was so white that he didn't know who had a sound in his house to break the tranquility, and the whole street and alleys quickly became fresh.

Xu Jiaorong got up early and washed up and prepared breakfast. She didn't forget what she thought last night. She cooked more eggs for Xu Xian to replenish her body. After doing everything, she knocked on the door and asked Xu Xian to get up.

When Xu Xian heard the knock on the door, he immediately retreated from his wonderful state of cultivation.

Although I haven't been asleep all night, I am extremely energetic. I don't feel tired after staying up late. My head is unprecedentedly light and my perception of the small things around me is much clearer!

It was like a mirror covered in dust for many years, and suddenly it was wiped clean and became bright and transparent.

Moreover, Xu Xian also found that his whole body was very uncomfortable, as if he hadn't taken a shower for a long time, and it was sticky. When he rolled up his sleeves and looked at it, he found that there was a layer of dirt attached to his skin. He rubbed his fingers casually and could rub a 'pill'!

He didn't bother to have breakfast. In Xu Jiaorong's puzzled eyes, Xu Xian prepared two big buckets of water as soon as possible, closed the door and took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and finally felt refreshed.

"How does this situation feel very similar to the legendary foundation building? Is it going to become an immortal?" Xu Xian muttered.

In his previous life, Xu Xian had read many fairy tale novels. Often, the first step in cultivating immortals is to build a foundation. At this time, physical fitness will be greatly improved, which can be regarded as the first step to get rid of the body of the mortal body.

Facts prove that Xu Xian was overthinking.

How could it be so easy to become an immortal on the ground? The Taoist priest of Guangning has been practicing for many years but still can't figure it out. Bai Suzhen will only be qualified for her practice for 1,800 years.

After Xu Xian planted the roots of Taoism, he was considered a complete transformation, but it was only compared with ordinary people.

At Xu Jiaorong's request, he ate an extra egg for breakfast, and then Xu Xian began to review his homework and prepare for the upcoming autumn trial.

Passing the imperial examination and becoming a child, you are qualified to participate in the college examination this year's autumn examination and obtain the fame of a scholar.

Xu Jiaorong knew that his younger brother did not have much talent in studying, so he did not have high requirements for Xu Xian. His biggest hope was that Xu Xian could pass the imperial examination for fame and fortune.

In the eyes of some people, it seems that the exam for a scholar is not very difficult, but if you can get into a scholar, it is actually quite amazing.

The college entrance examination is three times every two years, and it is not bad if the entire Qiantang County can pass four or five people.

After becoming a scholar, the Dali Dynasty provided subsidies every year. The money was not much, but at least it could support itself and not starve to death.

Moreover, although scholars are almost impossible to become officials, they can become officials.

Officials, officials, and officials are not as high as officials, but they are also regular civil servants, with higher status than most people.

There are also scholars who also have many privileges, such as not having to pay taxes, not having to kneel down when they meet a county magistrate, and they are also well-known figures in the local area...

Therefore, if Xu Xian could pass the exam to the scholar, Xu Jiaorong would probably wake up laughing even if he dreamed.

When reading a book, Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Originally, it was not difficult for him to merge his soul in two lifetimes, and it was not difficult for him to get fame and fortune.
