Cultivation of the present

Bao Xiaoming and Mu Xuan went to public schools near shantytowns in junior high school. Most of the children in the school were low-level citizens of L City like Mu Xuan, and some of them were foreign students like Bao Xiaoming. times, but relatively harmonious.

It’s different in l, it’s a key high school that gathers all the top students from schools in the city and even surrounding villages and towns, the proportion of graduates admitted to key universities is as high as 30% every year, and almost 90% of the formally admitted students can reach In this second line, all the students rushed to the center with their heads squeezed. The score line in l is also surprisingly high. A school in a township can have ten students admitted to l middle school, which is already a school with a high level of education, while the ordinary middle schools of Bao Xiaoming and Mu Xuan have less than [-] students who are admitted to l middle school. Officially admitted, the two of them are among them.

Of course, every school has some unplanned students, such as "self-funded students" who openly recruit and "relationship households" who come in through connections.In short, it is a group of students who either have top grades or are either rich or expensive.

Mu Xuan and Bao Xiaoming were admitted to No. 38 Middle School with the first and tenth grades respectively, and they are already the best in the school.But when they were divided into classes in L middle school, the student numbers were arranged according to the ranking in the senior high school entrance examination. Mu Xuan was number 45, while Bao Xiaoming was number 50. There were [-] students in the class. It was really hard to bear the ranking.Bao Xiaoming's boyish heart was almost shattered into eight petals, but he had just escaped from the ranks of poor students, sitting in the seat of top students before his ass warmed up, he was beaten back to his original shape.Mu Xuan didn't care about it. During the opening ceremony, he kicked Bao Xiaoming who looked frustrated, and said indifferently: "It's not like I haven't played comebacks before. Isn't it more fun to come from behind?"

Seeing his calm appearance, Bao Xiaoming immediately felt at ease.What is he afraid of? With Brother Mu around, he is not afraid of anything!And even if he can't get No.1 in the end, wouldn't Brother Mu help him win glory...

No matter how hard he works and how he grows, he can't hide Bao Xiaoming's true nature.

In fact, Mu Xuan is not without pressure. He has had a preliminary understanding of studying in the United States this year, and finally understands that it is not so easy to make a nuclear bomb.His grades and understanding of modern knowledge are still far behind, so far that he didn't even get the No.1 in the current school.Studying, taking the B university exam, and going to the United States are Mu Xuan's goals at this stage, so after the start of high school, the two began the arduous learning process.

Mu Xuan is fine, the difference between his grades and other students is mainly because he has not fully accepted the knowledge system of this world, and the teaching level in junior high school is indeed lower than that of key junior high schools.After coming to high school, although his foundation was a bit weaker, it was still much stronger than the foundation that was simply emptied when he first came to this world. In addition, his brain development was more complete when he was one year old, and he had reached the foundation building stage. His IQ is much higher than that of ordinary people, and he will soon be able to catch up with the progress.

Speaking of the suppression of IQs between cultivators and ordinary people, it doesn't actually mean that cultivators can react much faster and accept more than ordinary people through cultivation.But after cultivation, the vision and brain capacity of practitioners are much stronger than ordinary people.Take the number of snowflakes falling from the sky as an example. Ordinary people can’t count them anyway, because the field of vision itself is greatly limited, but if it is a cultivator in the distraction period, within the range of the divine mind, No matter how many snowflakes there are, he can count them clearly.Ordinary people flip through the book quickly, and may not see a single word, but a cultivator can scan the content of the book with his divine sense at this moment, and engrave it in his mind, truly achieving the power of ephemeral memory.

Of course, this is just memory.If a Mahayana stage practitioner who is not good at array arrangement is asked to learn calculus, he probably won't or won't.Even if one cultivates and strives to get closer to the way of heaven, there are some innate suppressions that are always difficult for human beings to overcome.Even in the most ancient legends of gods and demons, there is a division of labor such as the god of fire and the god of water, which is enough to prove that neither humans nor gods are completely perfect. It can never be perfect.Because perfection means that there is no possibility of progress, it means that the cultivator has no way to move forward, and it means the end.However, isn't the purpose of spying on the way of heaven a life that will never end?

Although Mu Xuan has not yet reached such a high level, if he really wants to test his IQ, he may have reached a score of 160-180, which is definitely much better than ordinary high school students, but it is still within the range of normal people.It's not hard to catch up, but it takes time.

But Bao Xiaoming is in a difficult situation. He himself has an ordinary IQ, and the value is around [-].He can still overcome the knowledge in junior high school by relying on rote memorization and hard work, but high school requires considerable comprehension and adaptability. Bao Xiaoming's foundation is already poor, so it will be very difficult.Since entering high school, he has been going to bed at [-] o'clock every day for a month and getting up at [-] o'clock in the morning. He never forgets to listen to English while running.

How could a growing high school student be able to bear this, Bao Xiaoming's eye circles soon turned black, and even his round face quickly sunken.He didn't listen to Mu Xuan's persuasion, the huge gap in the class made Bao Xiaoming feel inferior, and vowed to impress those who looked at him with discrimination.

After one month in a row, Bao Xiaoming's behavior finally made Mu Xuan make up his mind.

One night in the dead of night, at one o'clock in the morning, Bao Xiaoming lay on the bed with a small flashlight and yawned while reciting English texts. Mu Xuan forced him to go to bed at eleven o'clock. Improving, the skills of some sidelines are really increasing rapidly.When Mu Xuan quietly pushed the door and entered, there was no light at all in the room, only an arched quilt, and the occasional nagging sound from the quilt, it seemed a little scary in the quiet night, and it's thanks to Bao Xiaoming that he wasn't afraid.

"How many lessons have you recited?" Mu Xuan almost floated to Bao Xiaoming's bedside, and sat down without any movement. When Xiaopang was getting better at reciting the text, he suddenly said this sentence.

"Ah!" Bao Xiaoming yelled in fright, and suddenly lifted the quilt, and seeing that it was Mu Xuan, he covered his heart in pain and said, "Brother Mu, people are scary, they can really scare to death!"

"I think you are looking for death right now!" Mu Xuan gritted his teeth.He pushed Bao Xiaoming down on the bed, pinched his completely fleshless face and the muscles on his arms that had softened, and his expression immediately turned cold.

"Well, you're looking for death!" Mu Bai booed behind Mu Xuan, God knows when he followed him in, and he didn't go to sleep most of the night.

So that night turned into a rally for Comrade Bao Xiaoming. Mu Xuan took him out of bed, knelt on the washboard in a vest and shorts, shivering from the cold.In front of him was Mu Xuan, who was crossing his legs and sitting on the grand master's chair picked up from the old goods eliminated by Yufangzhai, and Mu Bai, who was standing behind him with a dog-legged face.By the way, Mu Bai received some trendy education on the Internet, and with the help of unknown netizens, he correctly established the relationship between him and Mu Xuan—boss and younger brother.Whatever the boss says, the younger brother will listen to what the younger brother says.When Mu Bai was studying hard in Mu Xuan, certain concepts had gone farther and farther on the unknown road.

"Didn't sign up for the sports meeting?" Mu Xuan stretched out his hand, and Mu Bai handed over a cup of boiled water (tea can't be brewed), "I remember that after the sports meeting in the third year of junior high school, you swore that you would get a better ranking next time."

"So what if you run away?" Bao Xiaoming was a little depressed. "The academic performance is mediocre. They all look down on us. Besides, the sports meeting in this school is full of specially recruited sports students. How can I outrun them?"

"I can't sleep well, and I can't eat well." Mu Xuan said with anger, "Are you planning to court death like this for the next three years?"

"No, I just want to catch up with the progress I have fallen behind!" Bao Xiaoming argued hard, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. If he had always been a poor student, he would not be as sad as he is now.But after becoming a top student standing on a high place and seeing that kind of scenery, he fell into the clouds again. This kind of drop was not something he could bear.What's more, he swore at the grave of his parents that he would definitely be admitted to a key university, honoring his ancestors and raising his eyebrows.

Mu Xuan laughed back in anger. He leaned down and pinched Bao Xiaoming's chin, and said with a sinister smile, "Where is the baby fat on this face? What about the muscle mass on this arm? Bao Xiaoming, you treat yourself as if you are 1.7 meters tall Who gave you your height, the muscles on your limbs, and the little fat on your face? I piled them up for you with my hard-earned money! You squander what belongs to me like this, how do you think I should pay for this debt?"

Um?Bao Xiaoming was dumbfounded.Since when did his height, weight, and fat not belong to him, but Mu Ge's?This thing is more domineering than prostitution, and less human rights than slavery. He doesn't even have the right to be thin, which is simply too much!

"I guess you can't do it yet." Before Bao Xiaoming could react, Mu Xuan said calmly, "If you can't even do the physical compensation, then let's mentally destroy it."

"Mu Bai." Mu Xuan waved his hand very bluntly, and Mu Bai rushed towards Bao Xiaoming, and picked up the chubby who was no longer fat, yes, still.

"Is he taller than you?" Mu Xuan asked.

"I'm tall, hehe." Mu Bai replied sincerely, knowing that Mu Xuan would praise him again, he smiled honestly.

"Is he as strong as you?"

"I'm big, hehe."

"Is he as obedient as you?"

"I listen to Brother Mu, hehe."

"Then I have you, is he still useful?"

This time Mu Bai didn't follow Mu Xuan's orders completely, but looked up and down the thin Bao Xiaoming, his eyes lit up and said, "I know how to cook."

"Look, your only function is to be a cook." Mu Xuan hit Bao Xiaoming's fragile heart very flatly.

Bao Xiaoming: "..."

"Brother Mu, you are too bad, how can you say that about me!" Bao Xiaoming said aggrievedly, "I just want to study hard, what's wrong with becoming a top student! That's what my parents hope for! You are neither my father nor you My mother, of course you don't understand his thoughts, and you don't understand mine either. What's the matter if I sleep less and study more, and it doesn't hinder you, it's too much!"

As soon as his words fell, the air in the room suddenly became cold, and even Mu Bai noticed the terrible breath for a while.

"Mu Bai, since Xiao Ming is full of energy and doesn't want to sleep, you can train with him. It just so happens that this November holiday, he doesn't like to sleep, so why don't you sleep?" Jin looked quite stubborn, Mu Xuan said coldly, this time he was really angry.

People who don't take care of their own bodies don't have the right to let others take care of them.Bao Xiaoming was in a terrible situation, being tortured by Mu Bai for a whole day and night, his eyelids were so sleepy that he almost cried when he saw Mu Xuan.Ugly kid in the rebellious period, if you don't teach yourself a lesson, you won't be able to find the southeast, north, south, and north.By the way, whose parents are not begging their children to study, how could Bao Xiaoming turn around like this? He tried to persuade him to take a break and stop studying, but he had to teach him a lesson before he knew how to take care of his body.

In fact, Mu Xuan originally planned to help Bao Xiaoming solve this dilemma that night, but he was poked in the sore spot by a word from the brat, so he simply taught him a lesson.

Bao Xiaoming really knew he was wrong now, Mu Bai was too scary, sitting in front of the desk, whenever he wanted to sleep, he would wake him up immediately, and held up the textbook like a repeater and said over and over again tirelessly: "Also There are math/Chinese/English/physics...the homework is not finished, Mu Ge said, I can't sleep."

When Bao Xiaoming saw Mu Xuan, he rushed over and hugged his thigh while yawning and confessing: "Brother Mu, I was wrong, I shouldn't say that, you are doing it for my own good, I'm too much, I don't understand, I did it Such a rebellious thing, learning is nothing, you can live without studying, but you can’t live without sleep, Brother Mu, I know I’m wrong, can you let me go to sleep?”

Seeing Bao Xiaoming's confession, Mu Xuan finally nodded and said, "Go to sleep, I have something to say when I wake up."

Bao Xiaoming got the pardon and ran back to his lovely bed to sleep.Mu Xuan smiled softly at Mu Bai: "Well done."

Mu Bai looked at Mu Xuan's smile, and was a little crazy for a while.He is stupid, but because of his stupidity, he can distinguish between beauty and ugliness, good and evil better than the world.In his eyes, since the first time Mu Xuan helped him get back his money bag, he liked his smile. No matter what Mu Xuan looked like, he was always the prettiest and the prettiest.In order to make Mu Xuan laugh more, Mu Bai is willing to do anything.

He couldn't express his heart in words at all, he would just sit beside Mu Xuan, look at his smile obsessively, and honestly said: "It looks good."

"If you look good, be good. Don't learn from that brat Bao Xiaoming." Mu Xuan rubbed his forehead, deeply feeling that it is not easy to raise a child. Fortunately, Mu Bai is a good boy. People are thrown out of the door, and they travel around the world to find a good place to practice.

"Don't learn, smile more, it looks good." Mu Bai stretched out his hand, and boldly touched the corner of Mu Xuan's raised lips.

Rubbing his strong fingers against his soft lips, even Mu Bai, who didn't understand anything, felt his fingertips tingle.But at this time Mu Xuan was coaxed by him to make him feel better. After all, his body is still a teenager, no matter how old his soul is, because of his body, he is still a little playful.Because he knew that Mu Bai had no other intentions, but simply wanted to touch something he liked, Mu Xuan didn't have any desire, so he opened his mouth directly and bit Mu Bai's finger into his mouth.

The white teeth bit Mu Bai's fingers, and the tip of his soft tongue inadvertently touched Mu Bai's fingertips. The usually frank fool suddenly withdrew his fingers, his face was flushed, and his heartbeat was completely uncontrollable.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it hurt to bite?" Mu Xuan held his finger, just now he wanted to teach Mu Bai a lesson, let him know not to touch other people's lips casually, and use natural force with his mouth.Seeing Mu Bai's appearance of a child who was at a loss and made a mistake, for some reason, his rock-solid heart softened a little.

Mu Bai looked at Mu Xuan holding his hand, shook his head silently, and said honestly: "It doesn't hurt, just, there is a little, a little, a little..."

Mu Bai covered his heart, not knowing what words to use to describe his mood.For the first time, he began to feel that he was so stupid and stupid, he was really a fool like others said, he couldn't even speak clearly, and he was very anxious.

"Here?" Mu Xuan put his finger on his pulse, cut it for a while, and said, "The heartbeat is so fast, you must be scared. I can't help but be scared, and I won't really eat your finger. Don't make such a fuss next time." is you."

Mu Xuan stroked the well-behaved hair on Mu Bai's head, and comforted him.

But Mu Bai was still unhappy, he felt that he was not what Mu Xuan said, but how could what Mu Xuan said was wrong?He should have been frightened, he is so stupid, how could he be frightened by Mu Xuan?Mu Xuanming is so good.

So he firmly held Mu Xuan's hand and said: "No, don't scare, Mu Bai is not afraid!"

The appearance of bravely swearing an oath touched the deepest softness in Mu Xuan's heart, and the anger caused by Bao Xiaoming's disobedience before completely dissipated.

Bao Xiaoming slept for a full twenty hours, and when he woke up, he felt that the world had become clearer.These days, he really lived in a muddle, without distinguishing between black and white, and his mind was not clear, driven by anxiety, he didn't even know what he was doing.After recovering from a full sleep, he realized what he had done. How dare he say that about Brother Mu. Isn't that poking at the bottom of his heart?

He knows better than Mu Bai how Mu Xuan, a child who is as old as him, takes care of the two of them, so much effort, but he still hurts him, it really shouldn't be!

He...he should kill himself to thank the world!

"Okay, don't pretend, I understand that you know your mistake." Mu Xuan, who was coaxed by Mu Bai, looked at Bao Xiaoming who was on the execution ground very flatly and said, "I want to have a good talk with you, come and sit down."

Such a serious attitude made Bao Xiaoming very uneasy.He sat sideways beside Mu Xuan, and said cautiously: "Mu, Brother Mu, what, why are you so serious?"

"About your studies," Mu Xuan said very bluntly and unceremoniously, "I think you should have discovered after this period of time that you are indeed not suitable for studying. Rote memorization is okay, but As soon as you get into mathematics, physics and chemistry, your head is completely knotted. You can't learn any grades by working hard, and you will only break your body. And even if you choose liberal arts in the future, your memory is a bit weak. Ordinary universities are fine, but too much. Key schools are really difficult."

What Mu Xuan said was the truth, Bao Xiaoming has gradually felt this matter recently, that's why he was so impulsive that day.Now being pointed out so sharply, I felt even more uncomfortable, and my head drooped powerlessly.

"Unless you put in a hundredfold effort, you will get very little effect, and the price of doing so is that it will break your body. Bao Xiaoming, let me ask you. Do you simply want to pass the school entrance examination, or do you really want to pass the exam in the future? What do you want to study?"

"I, I just want to get into a good university, find a good job, earn a lot of money, and make my parents feel at ease." Bao Xiaoming said with his head down.

"Well, if you're exhausted early, go directly to the uncles and aunts. It's more at ease when they train you face to face." Mu Xuan always speaks so directly, Bao Xiaoming's neck shrinks even more.

"Alas..." Mu Xuan sighed softly, "Actually, I have been hesitant to drag you into this world. But now, it seems that you probably plan to drag me down like this for the rest of your life, and you will never let me go. Don't worry, since that's the case, it's better to keep you under my nose all the time. I really got stuck on you, and I can't shake it off."

"What... mean?" Bao Xiaoming asked hesitantly, not knowing what Mu Xuan was going to do.

"Kneel down." Mu Xuan kicked Bao Xiaoming's knee, causing him to kneel down reflexively, really ignoring human rights completely.

"?" Bao Xiaoming looked puzzled, especially not understanding what Mu Xuan wanted to do.

"You call me Brother Mu. Although I am much older than you, I can't directly accept you as an apprentice. I have long since betrayed my master, and I have no right to accept apprentices for my master. And your aptitude is completely unqualified to join me. In our sect, the heart method of our school requires extremely high comprehension of mind and nature. I am afraid that you will not be able to build a foundation when you reach the end of your life. In the end, you can only teach you some heart methods of the demon sect. Brain, as long as the skill is enough, you can naturally advance. With my help, it will be easier for you. I am the protector of the Demon Sect. You can call me Brother Mu, so that's it. I want you to have a smooth life , but you can make people feel at ease. You almost lost your life after learning a little practice. You should practice first. Anyone mention it."

"??????" Bao Xiaoming was at a loss, feeling like he was transported to a martial arts movie.What the hell is Brother Mu talking about? Why can't he understand a word?

However, Mu Xuan didn't give him any chance to react, so he urged the Demon Sect to communicate with Bao Xiaoming with his own spiritual thoughts, and a huge amount of information immediately entered Bao Xiaoming's mind.

In fact, Mu Xuan went to Bao Xiaoming the night before to teach him some ways to strengthen his body, so that at least he can sleep less without affecting his rest.Helplessly, Bao Xiaoming was really worrying. In the end, Mu Xuan also decided not to let Bao Xiaoming choose to take the ordinary path or the path of cultivation. In short, let him practice first, and he does not want him to let him do it in the future Just go back to ordinary people.

It's because Bao Xiaoming's mental growth is too slow. At the current speed, Mu Xuan can't get rid of this burden at all. It is estimated that he will have to carry it for more than ten years.And with the growth of Mu Xuan's skills, he will inevitably walk some paths that ordinary people cannot walk. If Bao Xiaoming continues to follow at this time, it is impossible not to practice.

So in the end Mu Xuan made a decision.

So this is actually the "welfare" brought about by hard study. Sure enough, there is a golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book, and the road to immortality in the book.

It took Bao Xiaoming three full days to accept the information Mu Xuan gave him. In fact, the amount of information was not much at all. It was about some basic knowledge about cultivation, the basic mentality of the Qi refining period, and the importance of keeping secrets. However, Bao Xiaoming His qualifications are really quite average, and it is really difficult to understand.If he wasn't too stupid, Mu Xuan wouldn't choose the way of communicating with spiritual thoughts, which is very difficult for him to use with his current skill. This kind of communication is so difficult for Bao Xiaoming to understand. If he directly dictates it, it may not be clear for a month.

"what!"

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

"Ah-ah-"

After Bao Xiaoming regained his sanity, he uttered very regular shouts, his brain almost exploded!

Every boy has a martial arts dream. After watching TV dramas when he was a child, he was so stupid that he put on a sack and ran to the broken warehouse to wait for an expert to teach him martial arts. When he was finally taken home by Mrs. Bao and beat him up Only then did I realize the truth that there are no heroes in the world.But now, Mu Xuan not only fulfilled his martial arts dream, but also gave him a chance to become a fairy. Bao Xiaoming's ordinary mind really crashed completely, he couldn't think at all, he could only call twice to calm his boiling Passionate, but unfortunately now the more I scream, the more I can't stop.

"What's the howl?" A slipper hit Bao Xiaoming's face precisely, and Mu Xuan said calmly, "Golden Week is only one day away, have you finished your homework yet?"

"what!"

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

"Ah-ah-"

"I haven't finished my homework yet!" Bao Xiaoming continued to yell in pain, and now the two slippers hit his face with much more force than before.

"Howling, howling, what howling." The words were not as sharp as Mu Xuanfang's.Bao Xiaoming looked over stiffly, only to see that Mu Bai took off the shoes on both feet and hit himself on both feet.Mu Bai is absolutely a fan of Mu Xuan, and he will follow what Mu Xuan does.

"Mu Bai, wait for me to cultivate to become a god... No, no," Bao Xiaoming kept shaking his confused mind, "Brother Mu, no! We can all become immortals, so what are we still learning! Hurry up and find a spiritual energy There are enough famous mountains and great rivers to practice desperately to ascend, the earth is really boring, let's go to the fairyland."

This man decisively regarded the fairy world as a Chinese cabbage.

Mu Xuan glanced at him indifferently, and said while doing homework: "I remember you said that you are going to be admitted to the university to honor your ancestors, don't you want to study now?"

"Brother Mu, you are really joking," Bao Xiaoming sat across from him with a sad face, took away Mu Xuan's homework book, and said earnestly, "We are all half-immortals, what else are we going to study, what are we going to do? Break the university, hurry up..."

What happened next, Mu Xuan didn't know.Because Mu Bai, who knew Mu Xuan's impatience, had knocked Bao Xiaoming unconscious with a slipper.

"Well done." Mu Xuan gave Mu Bai a thumbs up, and looked at Bao Xiaoming calmly.

Sure enough, some people, even if they pointed him to a way to reach the sky, he would still be an idiot who couldn't help him.Bao Xiaoming is really a doomed layman, even if he cultivates immortality, he is still a layman.

The author has something to say: I really don’t want Bao Xiaoming to cultivate so early, but considering that the dungeons will become more difficult in the future, if Xiaopang doesn’t cultivate, he will not be able to keep up with the big team~~ Well, I will open a new dungeon in the next chapter, what will I do? Is it better?Campus?Family?Ghost?
