Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 67
Xu Chong stood silently.

Zhang Shunyi's last few words were all in his mind.

From pretending to take a lunch break to create conditions for himself to peek at books, to trying every means to become a real warrior by all means.

Zhang Youde's changes are not insignificant, he is like a different person.

Zhang Shunyi said that this is a loss of heart.

Can such a conceptual thing as original mind be lost?

The education Xu Chong had received made him not quite understand this sentence.

But assuming that what Zhang Shunyi said is correct, and that Zhang Youde's psychic change was indeed due to the loss of his original heart, then is his problem not caused by his state of mind at all, but by the same loss of his original heart?

Even the original heart is lost, so where is the state of mind coming from?
Thinking about how I still can't figure out what my heart is, I have to say, it's very possible.

"Assuming that's the case, then when did I lose my true heart?"

Xu Chong moved his steps, walking aimlessly, while reminiscing.

Gradually, his brain began to empty out, and his thoughts flew wildly.

Soon, he remembered the experience of his previous life.

Xu Chong in his previous life was the same as most people, with an ordinary background, a strict father and a nagging mother.

A top student in elementary school, a mid-level student in middle school, and a top student in high school.

Then there is a pheasant university that is difficult to search for on the homepage.

After graduating, he plunged headlong into the turbulent world, succumbed after struggling twice, and began to drift with the tide. Until the death of his parents, he couldn't save a house to stand on.

Ordinary life, ordinary people.

To sum it up in one sentence, when you are young, you are passionate, when you are young, you are conceited, and when you are middle-aged, you are numb.

have nothing to say.

And then it's time to cross.

across...

Xu Chong looked in front of him in a daze.

In front of him was an old empty room.

There is a couch, a wooden table, and two benches in the room. There is an earthen stove and table near the window.

So simple, yet so familiar.

It turned out that he walked back to the old house on Baiyang Lane in a mindless stroll, and even took out the key to open the door.

- Pfft!
There was a clear heartbeat.

Xu Chong, who was immersed in memories, at such a coincident moment, naturally substituted into himself when he just traveled through.

Hesitation, fear, uneasiness.

But, there are surprises!

Yes.

After realizing the fact of time travel, he was pleasantly surprised.

Hesitation, fear, and uneasiness all come from the unknown future.

The surprise is because he knows that he no longer has to scruple about the worldly vision, he is busy with work for a house, and he no longer has to force himself to flatter him because of fragile interpersonal relationships, and he no longer needs to feel unaccompanied because he is unaccompanied. I am redundant...

Under the circumstances at that time, all the reasons for the surprise can be summed up in two words.

comfortable.

The initial yearning is freedom!

Xu Chong suddenly realized: "So it is!"

The past half a year has passed through.

First of all, the original body's personality set him a limit, which made him have to bear the goodwill and expectations of the people.

Immediately afterwards, the existence of the barrier of knowledge and vision weighed on his heart like a huge rock, making him gradually feel that time travel is not something to be happy about.

And then, the fresh lives were easily taken away, but he couldn't stop it.

Fear, unwillingness, powerlessness.

His heart gradually began to numb.

Therefore, his problem is not his state of mind at all, but his loss of heart.

Lost the heart yearning for freedom!

So, what is freedom?
Xu Chong slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts racing.

To be free is to embrace all people and benefit the world?
Freedom is lawlessness and reckless behavior?

No, neither.

I am not the original body, so good that I benefit others at the expense of myself.

I am not Qing Ting either, I am evil enough to enslave sentient beings.

The freedom I want has never been so extreme and grand!
So immersed in thinking, Xu Chong's thoughts became more and more pure and transparent.

Faces flashed across his mind.

Aunt Ma, Lame Wang, Wu Wenjing, Zhou Ze, Fu Yuanlong, Liu Er, Lao Li...

After a while, Xu Chong suddenly opened his eyes.

"Accept your own good, control your own evil."

"Have the courage to face up to your weak self, and have the courage to achieve a strong self."

"In the face of evil, coercion and falsehood, you will not yield your mind, and in the face of the good and the weak, you will have unrivaled power, but your words and deeds will not deceive you."

"This is my freedom!"

In an instant, the power dormant in the meridian orifice began to surge.

- Whoops!

There is no skill, no spiritual source, and no need to manipulate it.

The strength of Baoyang Kung Fu rushed to the Hand Jueyin Meridian spontaneously, and the whole way was like a broken bamboo.

In just a moment, the acupuncture points on the entire meridian were completely penetrated.

Tongmai sixfold, success!

At the same time, no matter whether it is good thoughts or bad thoughts, they are all stable, without any signs of losing control.

In this regard, the current Xu Chong is not surprised, and accepts this change very gladly.

"Everything is over, it's time to move on."

Xu Chong locked the wooden door of the old house and walked away.

……

……

The next day, the county school.

"If you come to ask me to be the director of the county government, I advise you to go back directly."

As soon as he met Wang Hezhi, he spoke directly.

"I……"

"If you come to tell me about that brat Zhang Shunyi, then you don't need to mention it."

Wang Hezhi raised his hand again, directly interrupting Xu Chong.

"Well……"

This Xu Chong really did not expect, "Master knows about Shunyi?"

"There hasn't been a letter for several months, and I haven't even looked at it when I go back to the county. Does this mean that I'm being regarded as the murderer of my father?"

Wang Hezhi sneered, dissatisfied: "Hmph, neither of you can make me worry."

Xu Chong touched his nose.

"Anyway, it's not something you worry about. If you have nothing else to do, go back. It's justified to take care of the Yamen and let me have less trouble."

Wang Hezhi waved his hands, as if chasing someone away.

"I really have something to ask."

Xu Chong didn't care, and asked directly: "The students want to ask about the promotion of officials."

"Promotion? What's the point?"

Wang Hezhi frowned, a little puzzled, "Just endure it."

"Hard?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.

"It's enough to get to the level of martial arts, and it's enough to survive the general examination in the ninth year. If both of them meet the standards, the official department will add your name to the promotion list."

Wang Hezhi stroked his white beard, "As long as you don't get deposed by His Majesty, you can be promoted."

"Should there be another way?"

Xu Chong asked again, "Students remember that before Fu Yuanlong was not the general banner, but he was able to directly skip the hundred-household test and was promoted to be a hundred-household. It must not be promoted through the general examination."

Waiting for nine years is too long. According to the speed at which the county government generates spiritual sources, it will only be more than 200 points in nine years. For the immortal who needs [-] spiritual sources to activate, it is completely a drop in the bucket.

"That's the essence of simplicity, and it cannot be judged by common sense."

Wang Hezhi glanced at Xu Chong: "Unless you also encounter a task like the Fragment of the Cave and make great contributions from it."

The corner of Xu Chong's mouth twitched, "Okay."

The central decree is simple and simple, which is the emperor's decree to bypass all rules and promote directly.

Unless Emperor Qing paid a private visit to Canglong on his micro-service, and even made an appointment with Xu Worship, don't even think about it.
