Cultivation of the present

In the golden autumn of October, Bao Xiaoming was struggling with homework and endless exercises, while Mu Xuan was sitting cross-legged in the room, practicing the spirit binding formula.He has basically been able to keep up with the junior high school courses. Although he can't reach the level of a top student, at least he won't be as confused as he was on the first day of class, full of jokes, setting the most shameful record in hundreds of years.

It is rare for him to memorize common English words, basic grammar, and general sentence patterns while he is familiar with the world, conquering the cauldron of longevity, and practicing the art of binding spirits. Mathematics is also gradually understanding the meaning of various formulas.He is gradually learning to break away from the original stereotyped cognition and try hard to accept the world.Language, behavior, and behavior are all appearances, which are the best to learn, but the most difficult, and what may never be learned are some root things.For example, he always believed that it would take hundreds of years for a cultivator to condense true energy and destroy a city, while scientists only need decades of research to develop an atomic bomb.

Although scientists are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors, so are cultivators.Ever since he learned about that period of war history, Mu Xuan has been thinking that with the power of two small atomic bombs called "boys" and "girls", two cities can be easily destroyed, comparable to a Mahayana master full blow.And these are just researched by a human scientist in decades.Decades have passed since the appearance of that kind of weapon. With the increasing scientific level of human beings, it is still unknown to what extent the power of atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs and other nuclear bombs has reached, and whether they can match the masters of the Mahayana period.

Telephones, TVs, VCRs, airplanes, cars, computers, and emerging networks, modern technology is constantly impacting Mu Xuan's cognition.What all cultivators can't do, modern technology enables ordinary people to do it.For a cultivator who knows the art of sound transmission for thousands of miles, if the contact is like a phone call, at least both parties must reach the state of distraction, otherwise they can only use letter symbols to transmit information, and cannot communicate instantly like a phone call.In modern society, as long as you have money, you can install telephones and buy mobile phones. Even the people who make mobile phones are just professional technicians. In modern society, there are everywhere in the street.

He can no longer use the narrow knowledge of cultivation to understand the world. In addition to cultivation, he also needs to learn this knowledge called science.Taking the college entrance examination is no longer just the Bao couple's expectation of Bao Xiaoming, but also Mu Xuan's own motivation.Just imagine, a highly skilled cultivator attacking people with magic weapons while attacking with a rocket launcher, what a tragic map weapon that would be.

The ethereal body can leapfrog the challenge, and with modern weapons, Mu Xuan believes that with enough weapons, Jindan stage practitioners can leapfrog the challenge to the distraction stage, and have a great chance of winning.

Strength is fundamental to Mu Xuan. He feels that he needs that kind of strength. Only when he is strong can he be able to protect everything he wants.

It's a pity that with Mu Xuan's superficial legal knowledge and common sense of life, he knows that China's gun control is extremely strict. It is already extraordinary that Hon Hai can have some pistols, long guns and bombs.

But the popular Hong Kong drama shootouts on TV made Mu Xuan feel that maybe not all countries are like this.He had lived for a long time in his previous life, and he also knew that each dynasty had different controls on force. Some dynasties emphasized civility over military, and there was not even a weapon shop on the street. Forced to turn around the world with a kitchen knife.However, in some dynasties, martial arts were practiced throughout the country, and even children would pick up wooden sticks and make gestures twice.

Maybe this place called "Hong Kong" will have a lot of guns?

Mu Xuan tentatively asked Bao Xiaoming, but Xiaopang was also unreliable, and after a long time, he finally said: "What is Hong Kong, the United States is the most powerful! I heard people say two days ago, A seven-year-old boy in the United States took his father's gun to school and killed a little girl in his classmate. America, that's a place where any housewife can buy a gun with money.", Obviously, Bao Xiao Ming was deeply influenced by American action movies on TV, and equated life with art.

Although Mu Xuan doesn't really believe that Bao Xiaoming's unreliable words, but from various signs, there is currently the world's largest stockpile of weapons, and the first atomic bomb was made in this country, the "father of the two bombs" in China He also came back from studying in the United States.

"Okay, let's go to the United States in the future." Mu Xuan calmly finalized the future of the few people, as if saying that it would be as easy as eating tofu brain tomorrow morning.

Mu Bai nodded vigorously: "Okay! Go, go to America!"

Bao Xiaoming: "..."

Mom and Dad in Heaven, Brother Mu is a good person, he is very good at taking care of others, and he is also very good to me.But since Brother Mu picked up Mu Bai, he has a problem in his head, how can I help him. ——Speaking of "The Troubles of a Fat Boy", there are many problems in going to the United States, but for Mu Xuan at this stage, it is better to learn English well first.Going to the United States is a long-term plan that can take decades to implement.

For now, let's obediently practice routinely and teach Mu Bai how to speak and read.

Without the influence of the Longevity Cauldron, Mu Bai will not continue to become stupid, but his intelligence will never improve until his soul is completed.However, Mu Xuan still hoped that he could practice and learn the basics of writing, otherwise he would be wasting his natural cultivation physique.

In addition to dragging Mu Bai to do daily homework every night, Mu Xuan would also teach him calligraphy in his free time.During the National Day holiday, after Mu Xuan finished the Jinlun paper (whether it was correct or not) at a speed that shocked Bao Xiaoming, he asked Mu Bai to write.The three-year-old child can still write some words, but Mu Bai's brain is fully developed. Even if the soul is missing, learning things will be slower, but the things that can be remembered are much more than children.

"This character is Mu, this is Xuan, and this is Bai." Mu Xuan wrote these words on the paper, and first taught Mu Bai to write his own name.

"Mu is the surname, Bai is the color of the wall, and the color of the clouds." Mu Xuan patiently explained.

Mu Bai pinched the pen vigorously, and copied the three characters one stroke at a time. He was so serious, but what he wrote was extremely childish.After writing "Bai", he pointed to "Xuan" and asked, "This, is, what...meaning?"

Mu Xuan taught him to speak slowly, even if he spoke slowly, try not to stutter. Mu Bai is trying to overcome his stuttering problem recently, speaking very slowly and with great difficulty, he has to pause for a long time for every word.

"Xuan is..." Mu Xuan hesitated for a moment. Xuan has many meanings. He chose the simplest explanation, "It's another way of saying black. Black is..."

He covered Mu Bai's eyes and said, "This is black."

"Another, one, kind, say, method?" Mu Bai obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Mu Xuan thought for a while and explained with difficulty: "Just like Mu Xichen, you should call him Dad, but you can also call him Father."

He wrote "Mu Xichen" on the paper, trying to let Mu Bai know that Mu Xichen is his father, not his grandfather.

"Dad, dad...Father, dear..." Mu Bai stroked the three words Mu Xichen with his fingers, and said seriously, "No, yes, grandpa... yes, dad, dad."

Mu Xuan was slightly surprised, and looked up at Mu Bai, only to see that this stupid person was trying to write the words Mu Xichen on the paper, in such childish handwriting.

"What!" A person who had been trying so hard to keep his eyes on his homework finally couldn't help it anymore, and the show of affection (huh? Why did you use this word?) on the other side was too blinding, Bao Xiaoming interjected, " Isn't it grandpa or father? God, the old beggar is really powerful, 88, and still beggars."

Facts have proved that although Bao Xiaoming's academic performance was not very good in the past, he still has a good level of knowledge in certain fields.

"Shut up," Mu Xuan twitched the back of his head, "do your homework!"

So he wrote down the words "Bao Xiaoming" and "Fatty" on the paper, and said to Mu Bai: "This is Bao Xiaoming's name, but I don't mind calling him Fatty. I just learned so many words today and the words in the elementary school textbooks." Add a few strokes and pinyin, and I'll take the exam tomorrow after practicing."

"I'm not fat!" Bao Xiaoming argued, "I've grown taller and thinner, and my belt has been loosened twice. I'm not fat at all, but my face is round!"

Mu Xuan ignored Xiaopang's protest, pinched his baby's round face, which was still baby fat, and said to Mu Bai very firmly: "It's fat, it can be called that."

It is simply hegemony and there is no human rights at all!

On this ordinary and warm (?) afternoon, someone knocked on the window of their house.

The door of the bungalow has no anti-theft and no peephole, and it is best to see who is knocking from the window.As soon as Mu Xuan looked up, he saw Cheng Yunyi and another middle-aged man he didn't know outside the door, so he shouted directly: "The door is unlocked, come in."

The middle-aged man brought by Cheng Yunyi has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and his every move reveals the ancient charm of the past. He is just an ordinary person, but he has an air of immortality.In terms of temperament, he is more like the young Mu Xichen than Mu Bai.

This similarity made Mu Xuan silent for a while, age, temperament, and the energy that Cheng Yunyi could take him to find here, there is probably only one person——

Yuan Chengrun, who has been only heard of his name but not his person, went to the ancient tomb together for 20 years and got the extension of the longevity tripod, but he stayed out of it from beginning to end.

Mu Xuan didn't think that Yuan Chengrun had been unable to decipher the extension of the Changsheng Ding for so many years. Of course it was impossible to completely decipher it, but he must understand just a few words.The mental formation cannot be completely deciphered, but Yuan Chengrun must be able to see the general content of the tripod's body.

But for 20 years, he didn't make a move. Even after Mu Xichen and Dong Honghai disappeared, he didn't make any move.The only evidence that can show that he is very concerned about this matter is that Mu Xuan, a teenager, was sent to work in Yufang Zhai, but the shopkeeper Xu Changhui and Mr. Chen knew nothing about it, and only thought that Yuan Chengrun was looking for Mu Xichen. , because he took away an extremely precious bronze tripod from the Warring States Period.

Such a person, Mu Xuan believes that his character has at least three characteristics——

The courage and guts of robbing the tomb with Dong Honghai brothers; the patience to be able to remain calm for 20 years;

Each of these three personalities is an advantage when viewed separately, but when combined, there is another characteristic - hidden.
