Chapter 79 - Indisputable

Edited by NZRose

After saying this, Ling Fengxiao stopped talking. She shifted to lay on her side on the bed, held her head in one hand, and looked at Lin Shu.

Big Miss has a nice smile in her eyes, and the soft red gauze veil makes her skin as beautiful as jade.

Lin Shu felt she was good-looking and felt somewhat nervous.

Thinking of Big Miss is Cousin, Cousin is Big Miss. Cousin treats him so kindly–it turns out that the one who was good to him was always Big Miss.

Big Miss stretched out her hand and brushed away the strands of hair scattered on his cheek.

Lin Shu felt a little hot on his face.

At this moment, the sleeping cat woke up. It meowed and came over between the two of them.

Big Miss then stretched out her hand to hold the cat in her arms and scratched the soft fur behind its ears and said, “I think it’s too fat. In the future, we should feed it less.”

The cat was still purring comfortably. It screamed when it heard the words, broke away from Ling Fengxiao, and jumped onto Lin Shu.

Lin Shu: “I think so.”

The cat puffed up its fur, jumped onto the table, and angrily turned its back to them.

Big Miss then said: “Qingyuan is good, don’t be angry.”

The cat lay down and ignored them.

Big Miss laughed and turned her head to look at Lin Shu.

The tent was warm and fragrant, and the air seemed to be scented with honey. Lin Shu found himself relaxed a lot.

“I don’t think it’s a waste of time to be with you every day.” Big Miss said.

Lin Shu didn’t know how to answer, so he gave a gentle “um”.

If the other party is Big Miss, then getting along with others does not seem to be difficult.

After they had said something more, Big Miss reluctantly got up from the bed, hung up the tent, tied her hair, and said, “Let’s go to the Drizzling Rain in Wind Garden, so as not to make them worry all the time.”

The atrium of the Drizzling Rain in Wind Garden was brightly lit, and the girls were still awake and gathered in the atrium to read.

Ling Baoqing saw the two of them coming, and said in surprise: “Big Miss is okay!”

The girls gathered around and took care of them again.

“I can’t settle down when Big Miss doesn’t wake up. I have only read five pages until now.” Ling Baochen said.

Lin Shu looked at the books piled up on the table and suddenly thought of something.

At this time, Ling Baoqing complained: “Big Miss, I can’t understand the History of Sichuan. I’m afraid I’ll get C!”

Big Miss said: “It’s okay.”

Lin Shu: “......”

The Academy took exams twice a year, once in June and once in December–now it was mid-November.

It’s coming to an end.

End of term.

Lin Shu: “!!!”

His Southern Xia Fengwu Test, Southern Xia History, Outer Alchemy, Beginning of Formation Skills&#k2013;twenty courses, almost all of which must be learned.

Big Miss seemed to remember something and looked at Lin Shu: “We should review our lessons too.”

Lin Shu nodded, madly desperate inside.

——There was also the number of Crape Myrtle, he has not learned!

In addition, he had to accept the assessment of Mr. Meng.

If you don’t do well in the course examination, at most, you will lose some people, get less jade spirit, and postpone your graduation. But if he can’t pass Mr. Meng’s examination, he will be expelled from the school.

Big Miss said something to the girls before she left. On the way, she asked him, “Do you have any homework?”

Lin Shu said: “I don’t understand the number of Crape Myrtle techniques.”

Big Miss said: “I will study with you.”

Lin Shu felt happy again.

He can get help from the god of learning.

In the days that followed, the academy was quiet, without any accidents. The High Master of the Academy even came to Drizzling Rain in Wind Garden, and brought a delicious fish to the cat. He also promised that the dining hall would invite a chef to make fish in the future. The mountain keeper was welcome to come. This made the cat realize that he would not be deprived of rations, and had a lot of confidence when facing Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao.

The cat was naturally in a good mood, and the Academy Master looks very good. To say the same, a mountain keeper with a land immortal realm guarding Shangling Academy. What are you afraid of?

——Even if the mountain keeper was just a fat cat who wanders in the bamboo houses of Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao from time to time, eating and drinking.

The cat likes to sleep in the atrium recently because everyone gathers in the atrium to study.

Lin Shu endorsed it, the Yue brothers and sisters practiced in the bamboo forest. Most of the courses they chose were martial arts, so they didn’t have to recite too much. They were much more leisurely than Lin Shu.

As for Big Miss, she was very busy. While reviewing her lessons, she wanted to help Lin Shu read the Crape Myrtle technique, while she also had to discipline Xiao Lingyang, and at the same time, she had to torture her younger brother when Xiao Lingyang was bullying Lin Shu.

But the younger brother was stubborn and unyielding. He persisted in instigating discord under domestic violence. He chanted “Ling Fengxiao is not a good thing” in Lin Shu’s ear, ten times a day, “You are just a little white pretty boy”, ten times a day, and “Ling Fengxiao is going to abandon you”, all the time.

Lin Shu: “Oh.”

Ling Fengxiao: “Southern Xia History, copy ten times.”

Xiao Lingyang: “Ling Fengxiao, I advise you not to be so arrogant. Although you confiscated the 《Twelve Evils Deeds of Ling Fengxiao》 written by me, I can write it again at any time!”

Ling Fengxiao: “Even if you wrote the 《One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four Evil Deeds of Ling Fengxiao》, Lin Shu is already mine.”

Xiao Lingyang: “You are not married yet, and everything is still unknown!”

Ling Fengxiao: “Oh.”

——This scene is repeated back and forth day by day, and the whole of November is flying in the past.

As soon as December came, the examinations of various courses began one after another.

As a god of learning, Ling Fengxiao took several more courses than normal people and had to take more exams. Therefore, although they lived in the same garden these days, they hardly met each other. Often it was Lin Shu who was going to sleep, and Ling Fengxiao hadn’t come back or had breakfast together, so they went to take their own exams.

On the afternoon of the day after the exam, the students went to the Dreamscape to accept Mr. Meng’s examination.

Lin Shu entered the Dreamscape. Originally, Mr. Meng, who had his back to the mountain road and watched the sea of clouds, turned and straightened his robe sleeves. His voice was gentle: “Taoist friend, sit down.”

He sat opposite Mr. Meng at the stone table in the pavilion.

“Taoist friend’s martial arts attainments are already very rare. If there is no special opportunity to perceive, it must be just a more proficient technique.” Mr. Meng took a pot of tea and poured tea for both of them. He said, “So I want to see if the mental state of Taoist friend has changed since then.”

After he finished speaking, he sighed slightly and said: “But the state of mind of Taoist friend is already incomparable. I don’t even know how you would take the exam for a while.”

——Whenever he talked to Mr. Meng and was praised by Mr. Meng, Lin Shu wondered whether he was the salted fish who was praised.

“Since it is difficult to enter the school, Taoist friend might as well tell me about the experience and understanding of this trip to Huandang Mountain.” Mr. Meng finally said.

Lin Shu sorted out his thoughts and began to explain to Mr. Meng.

On the Heavenly Stairway, there was nothing to be said about the part that relies on spiritual power to move forward, so he just directly talked about the part that tests the heart of Taoism.

“I couldn’t get out of the Heavenly Stairway at first.”

Mr. Meng said unexpectedly “Huh?”

“I couldn’t think of any purpose in cultivating immortality.” Lin Shu was a little nervous. He lowered his head and looked down at the lines on the stone table and said, “I didn’t know why I cultivated immortality, so I couldn’t get out.”

Mr. Meng said: “What happened later?”

“Later... I thought about a lot of things. I realized that I really didn’t want to make progress, but I didn’t want to change. I also thought that I was only willing to cultivate immortality, and I didn’t want to do anything else, so I cultivated immortality.”

Mr. Meng laughed out loud.

Lin Shu blinked innocently: “Then I went down the steps, and the Heavenly Stairway let me out.”

Mr. Meng clapped his hands and praised him wonderfully: “Taoist friend, if you can devote yourself to cultivating immortality, you will be able to achieve something. If you have no desire, you will not fight for it. According to 《The Seven Signs of Clouds》, it is said that the way of heaven is to do without any dispute. That’s what you’re talking about. It’s exactly your way.”

“I don’t know,” Lin Shu said.

He thought for a while and felt that according to Mr. Meng’s statement, his path is consistent with the way of heaven, and he should take the path of “Harmony”, however, in his heart he did not want to be assimilated with the way of heaven, so he said again, “Then am I a ”Harmony”?”

“No,” said Mr. Meng.

His gentle voice was warm, like a stream in a valley, and said slowly: “Harmony is to perceive the mechanism of the movement of everything in the world, understand the rules of the movement of the heavenly way, and then obey the laws of heaven, assimilate with them, Taoist friend, have you ever done this?”

Lin Shu: “Never.”

He just often looks at the rising and setting sun in a daze, and has no diligent mind to explore the truth of the rising and setting sun.

“That’s the case, therefore, you are still ‘breaking the road’, and you will rise through the thunder and calamity in the future.” Mr. Meng smiled slightly, poured the tea, and continued: “The Confucianism Academy makes an essay, I think the literary words are the second, and the intention is the first. The same is true when changing to the Xiandao Academy.”

Lin Shu listened quietly.

“The Taoist mind of the cultivator is the intention of the literati. The way of cultivating immortality is the article of literati. After the article is written, it should be judged by others whether it is unique or not and whether it is justified. The same is true for Taoist practitioners. If your Tao is firm enough and has no mistakes, and can be separated from the Heavenly Tao and live alone, then you can expect Mahayana, leave the world, and go to the immortal world.”

Lin Shu nodded.

If before, he might not have understood, but now he can completely understand.

What Mr. Meng said at this time it was basically the same as what the young master of Exquisite Fairyland had taught.

“Your heart of Tao is in harmony with the way of heaven. That is, your intention can be compared with the Heavenly Dao.”

Mr. Meng smiled and said, “You have such a temperament when you are not yet so old and weak. It is really rare. As the saying goes, ‘The branches of the phoenix are still weak, and the shape of the dragon is faint’. When you grow up, you will rise above the catastrophe. Isn’t it handy?”

It doesn’t seem to be difficult to practice step by step, and soar through the tribulation.

However, Lin Shu still felt that he did not have any Tao heart and Tao.

In his last life, he only practiced according to his school’s internal mental skills and martial arts. Naturally, he arrived at the time of passing through the tribulation. If you want to describe it, it is really not worth mentioning.

Mr. Meng probably saw his bewildered eyes, and didn’t go into further details, but said: “You will understand in the future.”

Lin Shu nodded and said, “Okay.”

After talking about the Heavenly Stairway, he also said that he had solved the demons caused by things in the past in the Boundless Maze, and then talked about the Zhenlong Chess Game that he and Ling Xiao completed together in the Exquisite Fairyland.

He didn’t say who Ling Xiao was, he only said that he was a fellow traveler.

“The truth of the Zhenlong Chess Game is exactly the reason why people who practice immortality ascend to become immortals.” Mr. Meng said, “you have been favored by the master of Exquisite Fairyland, and you must have gained a lot.”

Lin Shu nodded, his spirit has been enhanced, and he also became quite proficient in the operation of spiritual power.

He also said the truth that he understood in the Exquisite Fairyland: there were loopholes in his chess game, and there were also in Ling Xiao’s. The two complemented each other and the problem was solved. Then he removed the impurities and had a perfect solution. According to the young master, the two martial arts were combined together. If all the skills in the world are gathered together, it must be a wonderful road.

Mr. Meng had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then he was relieved and nodded: “My Taoist friend, I benefited a lot from your words. Even if one person makes a thousand and eight hundred solutions in the Zhenglong Chess Game.... The words of a family, even if they are justified and well-founded, are also biased–but I have gone astray.”

Lin Shu looked at Mr. Meng and thought of the man mentioned by Cousin.

The man had the talent of Tianzong who made 1800 solutions to Zhenlong’s chess game, but he guarded the isolated city at night and died during the Battle of Changyang.

The man’s surname is Meng.

Meng, Dream.

But Mr. Meng said at this time that he had gone astray——

He was at a loss for a moment.

After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, Mr. Meng received the cup with a smile in his eyes and eyebrows: “Taoist friend, you have really gained a lot in the past six months.”

Lin Shu said, “Yes.”

“However, even if it is the Heavenly Stairway, it will not be smooth. I have one thing to warn you.”

Lin Shu said: “Okay.”

Mr. Meng put his hands in his sleeve and looked at the sea of clouds outside the pavilion and said, “It’s hard to say anything about it. Let me quote an example so that you can understand. ”

Lin Shu listened quietly.

Mr. Meng asked, “Do you know why there are only women in Phoenix Mountain Villa?”

——That’s a good question.

TL’s Mini Theatre:
