Longevity starts with learning

After the token was placed, the bookstore owner's expression suddenly froze as he was talking eloquently, and then his smile became even brighter.

"It turns out he's the master of the Inspection Department. He's too old to recognize noble people..."

"In this way, the original price of what you want is eighteen silver. I will give you a discount and the price will be fifteen silver. What do you think, sir?"

Chu Mu took a deep look at the bookstore owner in front of him and froze for a moment. His tense expression suddenly relaxed, and his smile was equally bright.

"Then... Chu will borrow the boss's good words!"

After speaking, Chu Mu took out a few banknotes and placed them on the table.

"My lord, please be happy. Please be smaller in the future. I will make the decision. I will give you a 10% discount."

Hearing this, Chu Mu's eyes flashed, he smiled, and then changed the topic: "Chu has a nephew who has reached the age of enlightenment. Does the boss know how much it takes to become an official?"

"Official school?"

The bookstore owner was stunned for a moment, then said: "Official education is expensive. Chang Xiucai's private education only costs 40 silver per year, while official education costs 60 silver."

"However, the lecturer of the official school is Wang Juren of this county. He is an official registered in the imperial court. Whenever there is a vacancy, he might be a parent official of the county. If he can build a master-disciple relationship, then it is not It’s about twenty silver…”

Chu Mu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, said a few words, and then left the bookstore with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone he purchased.

"Knowledge is priceless..."

Looking back at the bookstore, Chu Mu couldn't help but shake his head. With such a high consumption of reading, how could it be said clearly that knowledge is priceless?

The thought just flashed past, and Chu Mu suppressed it.

This kind of matter that concerns the world has nothing to do with him.

If it has anything to do with it, then we have to try our best to put it aside.

He is just a small person, and a small person must have the self-awareness of a small person.

When it comes to self-knowledge, Chu Mu feels that he is still a bit weak.

But after thinking about it, Chu Mu felt that this era was really interesting.

On the one hand, food is extremely cheap, on the other hand, knowledge is extremely expensive, and medical treatment seems to be quite expensive.

And judging from the banknotes, the production technology of this era should also have extremely desirable aspects.

Just like this, Chu Mu returned to his little home again.

Glancing at the "spiritual radiance value" on the screen panel, after wandering around for a few hours, it also increased by about 2%. Standing in the courtyard, Chu Mu pondered for a moment, and finally looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand again.

After a while, Chu Mu secretly shook his head. "Spiritual Glory Points" are hard-earned. At present, whether studying or practicing martial arts, the main thing is to accumulate "Spiritual Glory Points". How to get it specifically? Let’s talk about the duties of the inspection department.

After all, this era is still a fog for him.

Thinking back to the scene that night with the blessing of "Spiritual Glory Value", Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart.

Only when you stand too high will you realize how small you are.

That kind of wisdom is really fascinating.

Soon, Chu Mu adjusted from his trembling, guarded against arrogance and impetuosity, and spoke and acted cautiously...

External things are reliable, and he himself cannot be slack.

After putting away the pens, inks, paper and inkstones he bought, Chu Mu was not idle either. The original owner of this body and his father were not tidy people. Whether it was the bedroom or the small yard in front of the door, they could be called sloppy. .

Although Chu Mu is not a clean freak, the place where he lives is cleaner and more comfortable.

Especially this kind of house where one can live alone and have a small courtyard. Chu Mu has longed for it after wandering in the city for a long time in his previous life.

I don’t know how many times I have imagined that when I make enough money, I will go back to my hometown to live alone in a small courtyard and live a comfortable retirement life.

Who would have thought that this dream has not been realized for more than ten years, but now it is ready-made.

This life starts from here...

Chu Mu held the broom and bucket and looked at the single-family house with a deeper smile on his lips.

After a busy day, it was not until dark that Chu Mu stopped what he was doing. Although it had not been completely cleaned, the house was at least very thorough.

Compared with before cleaning, it feels a little more transparent and tidy.

After resting for a while, after drinking the brewed concoction and filling his stomach with the leftovers from lunch, Chu Mu placed a deck chair in the courtyard and lay down leisurely.

Autumn is high and crisp. Although it is almost late autumn and there is a bit more chill, but it has just darkened and the residual temperature has not disappeared. In addition to the coolness of the night, it is just right.

The night is cloudless and the sky is filled with stars, deep and gorgeous.

In my previous life, I lived in a city in a box house. Speaking of which, I haven't seen such a bright starry sky for many years.

Looking at such a bright starry sky, Chu Mu couldn't help but wonder, is this world also a planet and a universe?

The moon and the sun also exist in this world.

The Big Dipper is also clearly visible.

What is the connection between this world and the earth in the previous life?

Or is it a dream?

Is he dreaming about the past life, or is he dreaming about the present?

While the body and mind are relaxed, all kinds of thoughts are flashing in the mind.

I don't know how long it took before Chu Mu came back to his senses from his random thoughts. After another short rest, Chu Mu got up from the recliner.

After entering the house and picking up the knife, Chu Mu returned to the courtyard again.

"Spiritual radiance value" comes from undivided concentration. Concentration is easy, and being undivided is obviously not an easy thing.

Many times, one is unconsciously focused, but it is difficult to achieve the level of being focused.

These days, the source of "Spiritual Brilliance Value" is almost mostly unconsciously focused, rather than Chu Mu's self-controlled focus.

Fortunately, after these days of thinking, Chu Mu has also gained some experience, that is, let go of distracting thoughts first, and then focus on one thing.

After thinking about it, you can also be focused without distractions.

At this moment, Chu Mu's mind, except for the scene of practicing swordsmanship in the spiritual state that night, there is nothing else.

A figure, a few sword techniques.

Cycle over and over again in Chu Mu's mind.

After a long time, Chu Mu's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the long sword in his hand was also raised.

There was nothing fancy, just simply lifting the knife, chopping down, putting the knife away, swinging out, putting the knife away again, and swiping out...

Basic knife moves, one after another.

In just a moment, Chu Mu put away the knife and stood up. Of course, he did not stop on his own initiative, but was stopped by the soreness from all parts of his body.

With the knowledge of his previous life, Chu Mu would naturally not mess around.

"What a world of difference!"

Gently stroking the blade, Chu Mu shook his head and sighed. The difference between his normal state and his "spiritual state" was not too big.

The simplest point is that he had just practiced for a while, and his progress was negligible. He himself could not perceive any progress, but in the "spiritual state", in a moment, it was a leap forward that could be seen by the naked eye.

The gap between genius and mortal seemed to be difficult to make up no matter how much sweat he shed.

Chu Mu pursed his lips and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

After a while, Chu Mu seemed to have figured something out. He let out a long breath, sheathed his sword, and turned to walk towards the room.

"Genius also needs to be diligent, and a slow bird... needs to fly first..."

As he took a step, he whispered to himself, and his voice soon disappeared in the evening breeze...
