The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After Wang Gang returned to Weicheng, he began to live a reclusive life, staying at home all day, buying a lot of food in advance, and living the life of a stay-at-home.

Ma Shixiang thought that Wang Gang was feeling depressed because he blamed himself for killing his brother, so he specially approved a half-month vacation for him.

From this point of view, Ma Shixiang is indeed a good leader.

In fact, Wang Gang was hiding at home to practice Bajiquan and strengthen himself.

"Ever Night" is not a peaceful world, and Wang Gang must be able to protect himself in the shortest possible time.

He tried to practice martial arts from other worlds, but the results were not ideal. Only internal martial arts were applicable to all worlds and Wang Gang could practice them.

During the days of awakening his consciousness, Wang Gang's body from his previous life was also slowly awakening.

As for the cultivation system of the world of "Ever Night", Wang Gang cannot access it for the time being. Weicheng is just a small place after all, and there are no practitioners.

Wang Gang was not planning to stay in the army either. He wanted to go to Chang'an because there was an academy in Chang'an where he could get access to knowledge about spiritual practice.

The cultivation system of the Ever Night world is mainly based on controlling the vital energy of the outside world. There are four unknown places, namely a temple, a gate and a two-story building.

The first temple refers to Zhishou Temple, whose representative in the world is Xiling Temple, which is in charge of the seven volumes of Haotian Dao Heavenly Book and is the oldest place for cultivation in the world.

The first temple refers to the Hanging Temple, located in Tiankeng, which is represented by Yuelun Kingdom in the world. The Hanging Temple governs all the people who believe in Buddha in the world and is also a holy place for all those who practice Buddhism.

One gate refers to the Demon Sect Mountain Gate, located in the Daming Lake in the wilderness, and its representatives in the world are the wilderness people. The Demon Sect Mountain Gate is one of the most mysterious places, but Wang Gang vaguely remembers that the Demon Sect seems to have been destroyed, with only a few remaining descendants.

The second-floor building refers to the second-floor building of the academy, which is located in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, and represents the Tang Dynasty in the world.

The second floor of the academy is the only knowable and unknowable place in the world. As the saying goes, "the great hide in the city", the academy is located in the secular world, yet independent of it.

The academy is open to the public and recruits students, but the second floor and other floors are not accessible to ordinary people. One must be the master's direct disciple to enter.

The Master is the strongest "man" in the world of Evernight. He has practiced for countless years and is now on par with "the sky".

When Wang Gang came to this world, the person he most wanted to see was the Master.

However, the Master traveled around the world all year round, avoiding Haotian, and his whereabouts were erratic. If Wang Gang wanted to see him, he could only become a disciple of the academy first, and then take the exam for the second level.

But it is not easy to become a disciple of the academy.

The Tang Dynasty became the most powerful country because of its academies. Every year, there were thousands of people who wanted to take entrance exams to the academies, so it was naturally impossible for the academies to accept everyone.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to enter an academy, but Wang Gang now has an option, which is to be recommended by Ma Shixiang and get recommended by the military to take the academy entrance exam.

However, Wang Gang was previously just a small sergeant, one of the lowest-level officers in the Tang Dynasty’s military, so it was still difficult for him to get recommended.

The person Wang Gang could think of was Ma Shixiang. He vaguely remembered that in the original novel, Ma Shixiang helped Ning Que get a recommendation from the military so that he could be admitted to the academy.

Thinking of Ning Que, Wang Gang couldn't help but think of Sangsang, the maid beside him.

Sangsang's life story is not simple. On the surface, she is just Ning Que's maid, but in fact, she is the daughter of Zeng Jing, the Grand Secretary of the Tang Dynasty.

She has another identity, the incarnation of Haotian on earth.

Haotian is the only true God in the Ever Night world. Haotian is Pluto and Pluto is Haotian.

Every thousand years, Haotian will unleash eternal night, plunging the world into long-lasting cold and darkness, with the aim of cleansing uncontrolled practitioners.

However, the appearance of the Master disrupted Haotian's plan.

The Master is a person that Haotian cannot deal with. Because of the Master's existence, Haotian cannot launch the Eternal Night. He can only send his own incarnation "Sangsang" to the human world to lay a hidden chess piece and play a game with the Master. When Sangsang was born, he was discovered by the Great Priest of Light of Xiling Temple and the second person of Taoshan, Wei Guangming.

It's just that Wei Guangming's cultivation is not enough, he just thought that the son of Hades was born in Chang'an, and even caused a bloody incident.

The entire family of former Tang Dynasty General Xuanwu was massacred. Ning Que was the son of the doorman in the general's mansion and was almost killed as a substitute for the general's son. Fortunately, he was a time traveler and had innate knowledge, so he was able to kill the general's son and escape the disaster.

When Ning Que was on the run, he met the abandoned Sang Sang. From then on, the time traveler and the daughter of Hades became connected and became a master and servant who accompanied each other through life and death.

However, Wang Gang knew that the meeting between Sangsang and Ning Que was actually a plan by Haotian. Because the Master was interested in Ning Que, the time traveler, the two would meet one day. As long as Sangsang always accompanied Ning Que and waited for the opportunity, she would eventually meet the Master.

"Eh? Master can actually detect the time traveler Ning Que, can he detect me as well?" Wang Gang suddenly thought:
"Could it be that my awakening of memories beside Ning Que was also part of Haotian's plan?"

Wang Gang suddenly felt a chill, as if there were a pair of eyes in the sky, watching him all the time!
"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, are you home?" Ning Que's voice brought Wang Gang back to his senses.

To be honest, Wang Gang doesn't want to see Ning Que now. He feels that if he gets along with Ning Que for too long, he will be exposed under Haotian's nose one day.

Ning Que didn't care about Wang Gang's thoughts and pushed open the door and walked in.

"Lao Wang, what are you doing hiding at home all day? Let me teach you how to read."

Wang Gang looked at Ning Que with some resentment, mainly because of Sang Sang behind him, which made Wang Gang a little nervous.

"I'm recuperating at home. General Ma has approved me for half a month's leave." Wang Gang had no choice but to invite Ning Que and Sang Sang into the house.

Ning Que took out a book and said to Wang Gang: "You know most of the common characters. Today I will teach you some uncommon characters."

Wang Gang's predecessor had been in the army for ten years, but he could not read a single word and had not been promoted for a long time, so he asked Ning Que, who lived next door, to teach him how to read.

Of course, learning to read costs money, otherwise, with the character of preferring to have nothing rather than to get up early, one would not waste this time.

The book Ning Que took out was his treasured "Tai Shang Ganying Pian". This book was a book on cultivation methods, but it was also a common product. As long as one had money, one could buy it in any bookstore in Chang'an.

However, cultivation in this world requires a lot of talent. If you don’t have talent, even if you are given a peerless secret book, you still won’t be able to achieve anything.

Ning Que was the kind of person without any talent. He held a copy of "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" all day long, and the pages were almost torn apart. He could not practice anything but learned calligraphy by copying the words in the book.

When Wang Gang saw the "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" he wanted to reach out and take it, but Ning Que pushed him away.

"Don't make the book dirty. Let me turn the pages." Ning Que carefully turned the pages and said to Wang Gang:
"Copy the words above first, and then I will teach you how to recognize the rare words."

Wang Gang looked at Ning Que speechlessly, thinking: "Your book is almost covered with patina, are you still afraid that I will dirty it?"

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Gang would not say it out loud. He was very curious about the cultivation methods in this world, and he would not let go of such a good opportunity to copy books.

Wang Gang took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the cupboard and copied the "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" according to the instructions.

"Old Wang, please copy slowly and be careful not to make mistakes. If it weren't for the two taels of silver you gave me, I wouldn't copy this book for you." Ning Que said with a pout.

Wang Gang didn't listen to Ning Que at all, his whole mind was on "Tai Shang Ganying Pian".

After copying down the entire book, Wang Gang basically understood this technique.

The moment Wang Gang stopped writing, the inkstone on the table slowly floated up.

"Old Wang, you have become a cultivator." Ning Que's eyes almost popped out. (End of this chapter)
