Chapter 29, Copy

"Do you agree?" In the dark night, Lu Lin's eyes lit up and his voice trembled slightly: "This will be my first step out of the leader of the underworld!"

"Don't be happy too early!" Ling Xiaolou woke up Lu Lin like cold water and said, "It's not easy to unify the underground forces in Renhuai City? We need to take a long-term perspective and make sure that everything is foolproof. In this way..."

Ling Xiaolou knew that robbing the territory was a desperate thing. In the eyes of the underworld, having a territory means a Jianghu status and a lot of money. As the saying goes, the crime of robbing people's jobs is the same as killing father and wife, and one carelessness is the end of breaking the net with the mermaid.

Ling Xiaolou told Lu Lin to spend a few days exploring the underground power pattern of Renhuai City, and then they discussed how to do it.

When he got home, his mother quickly brought out the food, looked at him devouring and laughed.

"Mom, why haven't you seen Wan Niang these days?" Ling Xiaolou took a bite of steamed bread, picked up a piece of meat, and muttered, "She is coming here in two or three days. This time, I haven't seen her for almost five days."

"Don't tell me, this little girl hasn't come for days." His mother brought him a bowl of water and wondered, "Will something happen?"

"What can happen to her when she is so young?" Ling Xiaolou muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Mother blushed and said angrily, "Are you still a scholar? If your words spread out, how can Wan Niang see people? It's bad for their reputation. They can't get married. Let's see what you do!"

"If you rely on it, just rely on it! It's just a companion for my mother!"

"Hee... Are you serious?"

"Uh..." Ling Xiaolou didn't expect to wrap himself in. He quickly stuffed the last mouthful of steamed bread into his mouth, threw down his chopsticks and fled: "I'm talking about it."

"This child..." Looking at Ling Xiaolou's back, Zheng's heart breeds a sense of happiness. It's worth having such a good son.

Ling Xiaolou returned to the room, carefully locked the door, and sat in ** stunned. Wan Niang is a good girl. She is good-looking and lively. The most important thing is that she is good to him. Such a girl is indeed a good match. It's better to follow...

But soon he suppressed this idea. Wan Niang is only 12 years old this year, okay? Even if you talk about marriage, you still have to wait for six or seven years. What are you thinking?

Sit down cross-legged, slightly closing your eyes, and adjust your breathing. After a while, he relaxed without distractions and began to practice according to the skills of the Blood God Record. One by one, thoughts penetrated into his qi sea, guiding a group of baby fist-sized essences to pour into the meridians.

This pure essence is the result of his efforts for more than a month. As Jingyuan flows and moves in the meridians, his body feels numb, which is a sign that Jingyuan is nourishing the body.

Half an hour later, he carried Jingyuan for two weeks, and the meridians were a little painful and had to stop.

He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, poured some water into the dilapidated inkstone, straightened his body, and slowly grinded it. His right hand holds the ink strip vertically on the inkstone, and the force is moderate, not light or heavy.

"Grind the ink lightly and slowly, keep the ink flat, circle vertically on the inkstone, and do not grind diagonally or push directly. Use water to grind ink, rather than too much. If it is thickened, add water and then thicken. Use clean water to grind ink, not tea or hot water. The ink should be thick and moderate, not too thick or too light.

In his mind, he recalled the knowledge that Mr. Li Lan taught them to grind ink, and then he constantly adjusted it. In a short time, a strong smell of ink permeated the room.

Spreading a piece of white paper quickly, Ling Xiaolou grabbed an ordinary sheep pen and dipped it in ink and began to write today's homework.

Copying "University" 10 times is Mr. Li's punishment for him. Compared with playing boards or other punishment items, Ling Xiaolou thinks it is light.

Mr. Li is famous for his harshness. To put it nicely, he is rigorous in his studies, and if he says something bad, he is a whole person. So Mr. Li punished him for copying "University" 10 times, and he accepted it happily.

17520 words!" Ling Xiaolou whispered, then recalled "University" in his mind and began to copy "the way of university, in Mingde, in being close to the people, and stopping at the best..." A line of neat and good-looking small regular script leaped on the paper.

The concubine of the Ling family is very talented in reading. If he hadn't been dedicated to being a marquis and practicing martial arts, he might have passed the college examination and become a scholar now.

Even so, Ling Xiaolou feels that he has a very good foundation. Although he hasn't written for more than a month and is a little strange, his writing goes smoothly.

The pen walked the dragon and the snake. In a short time, a page of white paper was full of exquisite regular script. While recalling the content and writing, he maintained a certain speed.

After copying it, he looked at the sky. It took him an hour and a half. At this speed, the other nine times had to be copied until tomorrow morning. It just met Mr. Li's intention and he didn't have to go to study.

This doesn't work. If he doesn't study in the Ling clan, where else can he go? The Ling clan doesn't accept him, and you still want other private schools to take him in? That's impossible!

Reading is not a simple thing. It must be guided by a good teacher, especially when you are young. What is reading for? What is said in the "Zhongyong" is erudite, interrogated, think carefully, distinguish it clearly, and practice it... Reading is to learn something.

Just like the erudite practice in the teachings of the Ling clan, it first absorbs a wide range of knowledge, and then removes the bad bran after interrogation, identification and thinking, leaving the essence.

But how many people in the world can really do this? Maybe Saint Kong and Saint Zhu can do it, what about the other scholars?

This is the role of a good teacher to help students complete the process of learning. He teaches students the methods of interrogation, careful thinking and discernment. As for practice? That depends on the individual's understanding.

Ling Xiaolou understands that no matter how difficult and bumpy the road ahead is, he must complete the copying homework. Otherwise, with Mr. Li's personality and dissatisfaction and even disgust with him, he will really be expelled from the clan.

At his current level, he may pass the county examination, so what about the subsequent exam? The merit examination of the Sun and Moon Empire is divided into six levels - counties, prefectures, courtyards, townships, clubs and halls. As long as you want to be an official and a well- promising civil official, you must go through six major exams and compete with the scholars and students who study hard in the world.

With his current ability, he needs to follow Mr. Li for at least three or four years to be able to learn by himself.

Thinking about this, he began to meditate.
