Who is not a monk

"Hey, how old are you?"

"Fifteen."

"Oh……"

Chen Shu nodded. In my impression, Xiaoxiao skipped grades. Like her sister, she is good at studying and has a strong talent for cultivation.

"Brother-in-law, what show do you want to watch?"

"I don't read, I read books, otherwise your sister will talk about me later, she talks a lot."

"correct."

The little girl agreed deeply, and at the same time raised her head, her eyes followed Chen Shu's figure walking upstairs, and she kept chewing potato chips.

Walking directly into Ning Qing's room, Chen Shu didn't have the slightest psychological burden. He saw a stack of books on the desk, picked them up to look at them, and finally chose the one in the middle, which was called "Those Tricky Test Questions in the Spell Principle Competition Over the Years" (with answers)".

Just happened to brush up on the question.

Walking downstairs, Chen Shu and Xiaoxiao chatted casually: "When will Mom and Dad come back?"

"do not know."

"Don't you have homework?"

"I'll do it tonight."

"Oh……"

Chen Shu looked down at the book.

These questions are really tricky. Although they are not mainstream and even lack practical significance, it is good to change your mind.

Time passed without notice.

It is a troublesome thing to bury slow-release fertilizers for flowers, especially the flowers in a yard. When Ning Qing finished all the flowers and washed his hands and walked into the living room, Chen Shuzheng was watching with great interest. Without any expression, he just said:

"It's going to rain, go back soon, or it will rain again."

"is it?"

Chen Shu looked at the weather outside, and sure enough, the dark clouds had already started to pile up. The weather by the lake is really fickle.

So he closed the book in his hand, got up and said, "I'm going to take this book back and read it."

"I haven't finished it yet."

Ning Qing rejected him, and added: "Your big exam is coming soon, and the content here is far beyond the syllabus, basically you won't pass the exam. Don't waste your time on this."

"That's true."

Chen Shu felt that what she said made sense, so he put down the book: "Then I'll get it after the exam, so hurry up and read it."

"Ride my car."

"Yes." Chen Shu took two steps, then stopped suddenly, "By the way, remember to go to school tomorrow to take graduation photos."

"Ah."

Ride on Ning Qing's mini motorcycle, like riding a dog, press the power button, spiritual power recognition, real keyless start, the dashboard of the small motorcycle lights up, and it jumps out with a twist of the right hand.

It was very windy outside, and it was very comfortable to ride.

As soon as I arrived in the community and parked the car, I saw a raindrop falling, splashing a petal-like wet spot on the dry ground.Chen Shu quickly locked the car, and when he was not paying attention, the rain became rapid and dense, hitting the ground crackling, and the noise of rain was all over the world for a while.

……

It rained.

Xiaoxiao pretended to be watching a documentary, pretending to be eating potato chips. In fact, her eyes were quietly locked on her sister. She watched her sister pick up the book her brother-in-law had read, turned around and walked back—although her sister’s expression was the same as usual, but she It just feels weird.

When it's over, you have to turn your head to see it.

Just as she was debating whether to pretend to turn her head, she felt her footsteps suddenly stagnate, and then her sister's voice came from the stairs: "If you are free, go and write your homework."

The little girl shook her body, shaking the potato chips in her hand, and quickly concentrated on watching and eating the potato chips.

The footsteps continued.

After returning to the room, Ning Qing sat down at the desk and opened the book.

Chapter 3 Time Capsule

"Professor Chen, are you cutting meat again?"

"Why are you in the rain again?" Professor Chen raised his gaze from behind the phone temporarily, and said in a gentle voice, "The big exam is coming soon. During this period, it is best not to run around or eat outside to avoid getting sick. Recently, Yuan The state is also very dangerous, don't hang around outside."

"Oh! Rare!"

"..."

Professor Chen buried his head down again, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and concentrated on looking at the phone, only a voice came out: "I told you before, I told you to add Uncle Shiqian as a friend on Fetion, have you added it?"

"add."

"Did you speak?"

"Say a few words."

"You can ask him if you don't understand."

"got it."

Chen Shu walked back to her room and lay down on the bed.

His room is very tidy, because there are not many things in itself, but there are many scattered books on the coffee table on the balcony, and there are many crumpled notebook pages in the trash can.There is a desk by the wall, the books on the desk are neatly stacked, and there is also a computer.

Chen Shu picked up a physics textbook, flipped through it twice, and felt a little bored.

Came to a fantasy world, but you still have to study physics, do you think it's annoying or not?

But the fact is that, although this is a fantasy world with spiritual power and practice, the physical rules of the previous world still apply.The Creator did not deprive people of the power to rely on the laws of physics just because people can cultivate, use spiritual power and runes, but the combination of the two makes the technology tree of this world larger and more complete.

Therefore, in this world, both the physical technology of the earth and their unique spiritual power rune technology exist.

For example, the small cars running on the ground outside, as long as they have wheels, are actually trams in essence, but the energy is stored in the form of spiritual power, and when used, the spiritual power is converted into electricity, and the battery life is very long.But the lamp above the head is different. It is a pure spiritual light bulb, and the luminous runes directly use spiritual power to emit light, which is simple and durable.The runes themselves do not break, nor do they suffer performance degradation.

In general, it is better to choose between the two.

Chen Shu was holding the book in his hand, he couldn't read it.

Just now, Ning Qing looked through her test book. Most of the questions he knew in seconds, but he also saw some really tricky questions, some of which were extremely difficult at first glance.The content about spells is always much more attractive to him than the physics book in his hand.

The more I think about it, the more itchy I feel.

The usual Chen Shu is a lazy person, so let it go when he doesn't encounter a problem, but once he encounters it, he will suffer for a long time if he doesn't think about it clearly.And if you successfully solve it or figure it out, you will have a sense of accomplishment.

"Don't look at it."

Chen Shu threw away the physics book, stood up, turned on the computer, opened the notebook, picked up the pen, and started to solve the problem.

It was getting dark and the rain was pattering.

Had dinner in between.

The notebook is a little thinner.

After half-thinking and half-checking, I basically solved all the problems. If there is one question that I really can’t think of and can’t find it on the Internet, I went to ask Teacher Shiqian, and communicated my feelings by the way.

Teacher Shi Qian was Professor Chen's former college classmate, and Chen Shu met him once when he was very young.

Both of them are history majors, and they are studying at Yujing University, which is one of the best institutions of higher learning in Yiguo. Due to the country's international cultural status, it is basically one of the best institutions of higher learning in the world. .Later, Professor Chen took the professional route and returned to his hometown of Yuanzhou. Now he is a professor of history at Yuanzhou University and one of the most famous historians in the country.Shi Qian stayed at Yujing Academy to teach, but the direction of teaching was not the history department, but the ancient practice department.

Chen Shu is going to be admitted to Yujing Academy, and wants to apply for the Principle of Magic. Shi Qian will probably be his teacher by then.

"Comfortable!"

After Chen Shu rested for a while, the alarm clock on his mobile phone rang, and he quickly sat down cross-legged on the bed.

Now is the daily practice time.

The level of practitioners in this world is divided into nine levels.

This is not an artificial division, it is very natural——

Before practitioners embark on the path of cultivation, they need a long preparation process to familiarize themselves with and control spiritual power. After the preparation is completed, they can try to open up the spiritual sea.It is not until the spiritual sea is opened that it can be called a formal practitioner.

But after the spiritual sea is successfully opened, its volume will not increase linearly with the practice, so the practitioner will reach the bottleneck in the gradual progress, and the spiritual sea must be opened up again.

This is a difficult process.

Every time it is opened up, the spiritual sea will increase.

And when you succeed in opening up the Linghai, you will hear a sound like gold and iron, so the limitation of Linghai is also called Linghai lock.

Promotion is a process of breaking through the door lock. In ancient times, it often took a lot of time to grind it slowly. Only a few outstanding disciples of the big sects can get the assistance of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and panacea, which greatly saves time and effort. With the time and energy of Kai Linghaisuo, one step ahead, step by step.

Every time you open up, it is regarded as a promotion level.

It is said that it can break open the door lock up to nine times.

In ancient times, the nine-rank official rank system was popular in all dynasties, so practitioners also continued to use the nine-rank system.The ninth rank is the lowest, and the first rank is the highest.At that time, you were a few-rank cultivator, and you could basically enjoy the social status of a few-rank official in this country.

But don't underestimate the court officials. In ancient times, the unified central court was basically the strongest force on the planet, and no one dared to argue against it.

In modern times, the nine-rank system was abolished and changed to a nine-rank system, with the first rank being the lowest and the ninth rank the highest.

Chen Shu is currently at the top of the second tier.

It is worth mentioning that there is no saying in this world that "practice starts with a child", but there is such a saying in martial arts.

There are two main reasons.

One is physiological reasons: research shows that the spiritual sea is between the body and the soul, and the soul, like the body, needs to develop slowly over time. Only a mature soul and body can open up a mature and healthy spiritual sea.In ancient times, people have figured out the rules. It is not good to rush to open up the spiritual sea when you are too young. You should lay a solid foundation when you are young.

The second is psychological reasons: it is very painful to open up the spiritual sea, which is a pain that goes deep into the soul, and it is not conducive to the physical and mental development of children.And people who have not matured their minds may not be able to well control and utilize the powerful power brought by practitioners.Both pure good and pure evil often originate in children.

There are also some finer reasons.

It is generally believed that the most suitable age group for opening up a spiritual sea is between the ages of 22 and 20 for men and between [-] and [-] for women.

The vast majority of people in Yiguo lay the foundation before university, and learn some cultural, mathematical, and theoretical knowledge related to spiritual practice, and only try to open up the spiritual sea after entering university.

One of the important reasons for this is that after entering a public university, they will get a medicine to help open up the spiritual sea for free, and the government will pay for it.With the current technology, the development of auxiliary medicines in Linghai is much more reliable than those panaceas in ancient times. As long as the foundation is in place and the test is passed, the probability of opening Linghai is higher than 90.00%. side effect.Even if you may have symptoms of discomfort due to personal physical reasons, there are special teachers in the school to escort you.

I was about 20 years old at this time.

Although Chen Shu is not yet at the third level, it can be said that he is far ahead of his peers.

It's just that I feel sorry for Linghai who developed the medicine at his own expense.

Oh, it's not my money, is it?

That's fine.

In terms of practice methods, modern times have also been extremely developed. Countless masters have exhausted their efforts and led the heads of hundreds of schools. They have taken out all the foundations and secrets of the ancient sects for reference. Even taking all the advantages of foreign practice methods, and combining them with modern advanced theories, this modern spiritual practice based on the ancient esoteric spiritual practice was finally created.

And it is still being updated and iterated.

Chen Shu only touched the first two levels, and the effect was very good.

Around midnight.

When Chen Shu left the cultivation state, his mind was already extremely exhausted, as if his soul was wilting, and he didn't feel comfortable at all.

Immediately, he took out a crystal that shone with strange colors, and poured most of his spiritual power into this crystal.

The spiritual sea that had just filled up became empty again.

"Uncomfortable."

Practice in this world is tiring and boring.It's not like the novels I read in my previous life. Meditation is more comfortable than playing poker, and I don't know the passage of time.It's not like a game, where you can see the progress bar increase every time you practice, and the effort that doesn't feel the benefit is the most difficult.

The time that each person can practice is only about four hours a day at most, and it has nothing to do with the level of practice.Advanced practitioners are more efficient, but the time is still the same.

Therefore, we must persevere every day, use habits to offset the resistance to it, and use endorphins to smooth the torment it brings, and we must not relax for a day.

To put it bluntly, the reason why practitioners in this world are called practitioners, and why Chen Shu feels familiar with the practice system, is that the Emperor Shengzu 5000 years ago——

In the process of creating this civilization, the Emperor Shengzu also used a lot of words familiar to Chen Shu to modify the "supernatural system" existing in this world, making it sound like It was the content that Chen Shu had read on the Internet before.But in essence, there will be many things that are contrary to Chen Shu's cognition.
