Chapter 6 The Spiritual Vessel
Pu Liuxuan nodded slowly, "That's right. But do you know why all the students in the world, once they exceed the limit, will never be able to enter the entrance examination palace."

"Disciple doesn't know."

Li Ang shook his head honestly, waiting for the teacher to announce the answer.

The serious expression on Pu Liuxuan's face slowly faded, and he said softly, "Because, what Professor Xue Gong gave to students is not only Confucian classics, poetry and songs, but also the principles of heaven and earth such as how to build roads and improve agriculture.

The Academy will also teach, Dao.

the real way.

The way of practice. "

Li Ang's heart suddenly stopped, as if he was standing on a cliff path full of unknown possibilities and dangers, "The way of cultivation?"

"Yes."

Pu Liuxuan nodded and said: "Flying in the sky, escaping the ground, driving the clouds and driving the fog, Linghe crossing the sea, even as in the novel, sacrificing the bronze pill and flying sword, and taking the head of the enemy a hundred miles away within a hundred breaths."

Li Ang asked subconsciously, "Isn't it Qianli?"

"Cough cough."

Pu Liuxuan choked, lowered his face, and said solemnly: "How can it be so fast, we must respect the rules of heaven and earth."

This is all flying swords pierced through the air, teacher, do you still teach me science?Do you want to use aerodynamics to improve the shape of the flying sword and increase the speed of the flying sword?
Li Ang continued to admit his mistakes honestly, and asked Pu Liuxuan to continue.

"Anyway,"

Being interrupted by Li Ang like this, Pu Liuxuan couldn't pretend to be serious, he waved his hand and said casually, "The rule that those over [-] years old cannot be admitted to the entrance hall, on the one hand, is to cut off the wishful thinking of mediocre people, so as not to waste the manpower for recruiting exams every year. material resources.

On the other hand, it is because humans are the masters of all things and gather the essence of heaven and earth, and most people have a little bit of spiritual talent—that is, spiritual veins.

In the body of ordinary people, there are five invisible and intangible spiritual veins.These spiritual veins can communicate with the world and nourish the soul.Once exceeded, all spiritual veins will be automatically closed.

Practitioners, on the other hand, use various methods to irrigate, cultivate, and strengthen the spiritual meridian before the spiritual meridian is closed.

Let the spiritual veins grow like a sapling, continuously absorb the spiritual energy from the sky and the earth, open up the sea of ​​​​qi, and form a cycle, so as to master the unimaginable power of mortals. "

Pu Liuxuan said lightly: "Although people have at least five spiritual veins, five spiritual veins are only the most basic condition. Even if you have the best Qi-inducing technique and the best cave, you can't build anything famous in 100 years. Come.

The number of practitioners who can officially step into the threshold of practice can range from more than ten to as few as eight or nine. Information, more than [-]% of school-age children in Yu country each year have seven spiritual veins. "

"Spiritual veins."

Li Ang pondered, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He often flipped through the newspapers and books of the Wuzhou State School, but he had never come across such information.

More than [-]% of school-age children in the Yu country meet the minimum practice standards. Such information can be regarded as a military secret. What is Pu Liuxuan?
"Curious how I know this?"

Pu Liuxuan picked up the cold tea on the stone table, took a sip, and said calmly: "I came to Weizhou City alone 15 years ago, became a teacher, and became a good friend with your father.

Before that, I was actually a professor at the Academy. "

"what?"

Li Ang opened his mouth in disbelief, knowing that the Academy was the highest institution in the Yu Kingdom, and its status was still above the Imperial College.

Every student there, after graduating, either enters the Sixth Department and holds important positions.Either enter the military and open up territory for the Yu Kingdom.Or, hide their whereabouts and go on secret missions that ordinary people can't know about - such as exploring the endless sea in the east by boat, and bringing back novelty products from various islands.

The Academy itself is the highest and largest mountain in the Yu Kingdom. As long as you enter it, you will not only have a smooth career in the future, but also have a strong and powerful interpersonal network, which is comparable to a fish leaping from a dragon's gate.

And the professors of the Academy who have taught those pillars of the empire have a lofty status, needless to say.

"do not think too much."

Seeing Li Ang's astonished expression, Pu Liuxuan sighed half funny, half sadly, put down his teacup lightly, and said calmly: "13 years ago, I voluntarily resigned from my post as a professor in the academy, sealed off my cultivation, and Chang'an returned to his hometown of Weizhou.

Last month, I received a letter from the Academy, reinstating my professorship.

Each school staff member has a recommendation quota every year, and can recommend a student, skip the provincial examination in the state capital, and go directly to Chang'an for the school's first test. "

Pu Liuxuan looked sadly at the fallen leaves on the stone table, and twirled the teacup gently. He didn't explain why he had to resign as a professor at the Academy and sealed off his cultivation. Obviously, he didn't want to say more.

"I've been with your father for many years, and I watched you grow up. Although you don't have any talent for poetry and poetry, you are more flexible in your thinking. Maybe you can pass the academy exam."

Pu Liuxuan raised his hand, interrupted Li Ang's surprise thanks in advance, and said, "Professor's recommendation from the Academy is just a ticket to the arena.

It depends on your own ability and luck.

Wait here. "

Pu Liuxuan stood up, walked back into the room, and came out a moment later with a scroll full of dust.

Li Ang took the arm-high scroll book and waved off the dust on it, "This is."

"The Inspiration Chapter of the Qing Dynasty, the basic textbook of the Academy, is used by students to sense their own spiritual veins."

Pu Liuxuan said casually: "Actually, when you arrive in Chang'an, someone will send these things to you, and now it's only a few months ahead of other poor disciples with no background.

Those princes and nobles, as well as the descendants of aristocratic families, have played with this thing since childhood.

Just read it first and see if you can read the pattern. "

'Read the pattern.'

Li Ang was speechless and choked, opened the scroll and glanced at it, and it was filled with mysterious and mysterious words.

What "begins with Jingyin and turns to Mingyang." "Zhaoyue auspicious days, come to reflect the heart court."

Completely incomprehensible.

"Introduction to practice depends on fate and understanding. Don't get entangled in words, but feel and understand. If you don't understand even this thing, how can you compare it with those noble disciples who have been laying the foundation for more than ten years?"

Pu Liuxuan put on the air of a teacher and nagged again.

The entrance to the Academy is not only limited to cultivation talent, but also to test scriptures, policy questions, riding and archery and other regular content. If you want to enter the Academy, you have to work harder.

"Okay, let's go."

Pu Liuxuan, who finally finished explaining, waved his hand, "By the way, you will come again in seven days.

Every year before the school enrolls students, teachers and teaching assistants will be sent to various state capitals to use the compass to find those school-age children who are exceptionally gifted with spiritual veins. After all, those geniuses cannot be buried just because they are illiterate and cannot afford state school.

At that time, let him use the compass to measure the number of spiritual veins for you. "

Li Ang, who was still immersed in the huge amount of information, kept nodding and saying yes, until he walked out of the courtyard and came to the bustling street, did he react, and subconsciously hugged the grayed-out "Shang Qing Inspiration Chapter" in his arms. , silently speeding up the pace, walking towards the direction of home.

Walking fast all the way, while thinking, what kind of organ is the spiritual vein?
Can it be transplanted?
