Chapter 465 "Gifted"

Qin Zhaoyue slowly approached the secluded courtyard.

When I got closer, I could hear clearly that it was not the sound of reading aloud, but more like the babbling of a child.

Jiang Wuya read a sentence, and the twenty-four students with pure eyes below followed suit and recited it incoherently.

"Cloud cranes travel across the sky, tracing back to the true source,

The spiritual platform is so small that it can contain thousands of rivers.

One thought does not arise, illuminating all things.

The origin of the universe is natural..."

It seemed to be the outline of some kind of mental method, containing a mysterious rhythm, every word was precious, yet profound and difficult to understand.

But these students are just beginning to learn to speak, and their pronunciation of words is not very accurate.

The sounds of following along in the entire courtyard seemed somewhat chaotic and noisy, but strangely, they revealed a sense of concentration.

Seeing her coming, Jiang Wuya immediately stopped teaching and greeted her with a smile on his face.

"Junior sister, you're here!"

"Brother," Qin Zhaoyue glanced at the students sitting quietly, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Wuya rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes full of the joy of discovering a treasure, and explained in a low voice:

"Little Junior Sister, you don't know that these children are top-notch materials, rare in a million!"

He could not hide his excitement and explained in detail the reasons for teaching here.

It turns out that although sorcerers have advantages in communicating with heaven and earth and understanding the great Dao, they often fall into a paradox:

The purer the mind and the more innocent a person is, the easier it is for him to get close to the way of heaven and sense the mysteries of nature.

However, the path of cultivation is like rowing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind. You have to fight for every opportunity and resource.

Those who have reached a high level of cultivation are all people who have reached the pinnacle in a certain field.

It is inevitable that they have experienced many vicissitudes of life, have a mind as meticulous as a fox, are good at planning, and there are even some who are ruthless.

At that time, how easy will it be to regain the original innocent heart?

The minds of these twenty-four people before me are like freshly spread white rice paper, without a speck of worldly ink on them.

Whatever you depict on it now will appear.

In a sense, this is the ultimate innocence.

Ordinary children may have innocent hearts, but they lack the understanding and concentration of adults.

What Jiang Wuya was doing now was to lead them to recite the most basic introductory principles of Tianyan Sect over and over again every day.

It does not discuss specific methods of practice, does not explain profound principles, and does not involve the realm of cultivation.

As for what they can understand from this repeated recitation, it depends entirely on their personal luck and no one can predict it.

In the past, Jiang Wuya had little interest in recruiting disciples and preaching, but now that he has found his junior sister who has recognized the Heavenly Plate as her master, and has accidentally discovered this batch of unpolished gems, he can't help but feel excited.

What's more, perhaps from their chaotic and unrefined way of understanding, he could catch a glimpse of the true meaning of the simplicity of the way of heaven, which might be of great benefit to his own efforts to reach the mysterious first level.

All in all, he thought this matter would be of great benefit.

After hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue frowned unconsciously.

More than twenty people, plus those with outstanding appearances placed in another courtyard, can naturally be supported by the financial resources of the princess's mansion, but she also has no intention of supporting idle people in vain.

The original plan was to send them to a manor outside Beijing to learn farming from old farmers so that they could at least be self-sufficient and live a stable life.

Letting them farm is one way of life, and letting them follow Jiang Wuya to learn the mysterious ways of sorcery is another way of life.

For these people whose minds are almost blank, there is no distinction between good and bad.

The key point is that they cannot express their own wishes and all arrangements are made by outsiders.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Zhaoyue asked, "If I continue teaching like this, what will happen in the end?"

Jiang Wuya scratched his head.

"This... Senior Brother, this is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation, so it's hard to say for sure.

However, it is reasonable to speculate that some of them may be born with a karmic affinity for the way of sorcerers and possess considerable potential.

I don't plan to teach too much, and I won't even explain the meaning of any of the mental methods. I just plan to recite them day after day.

If someone can truly gain some insights from it and lay the foundation for the great way, then it can basically be guaranteed that they will at least be able to enter the Divine Martial Realm in the future.

If you can't understand it, it probably won't have much of an impact. It's just like a child learning to speak, but it can calm your mind."

Qin Zhaoyue nodded. Since there were no drawbacks, he said:

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, Senior Brother."

"Hehehe, no problem, no problem, little junior sister!" Jiang Wuya assured repeatedly.

Qin Zhaoyue watched for a while.

Seeing that the students had dull expressions but were extremely serious when following along, he stopped disturbing them and turned to leave the courtyard.

Since we have already walked deep into the backyard, we simply head to the compound at the other end, intending to take a look at the other group of people rescued from Chengyuan.

"Your Highness."

As soon as I approached the courtyard, I saw a woman carrying a wooden basin.

It was late autumn, and she was wearing only a plain cloth skirt of an ordinary maid, with her long black hair tied up in a simple bun.

Apart from an ordinary wooden hairpin, there were no other ornaments.

However, even such a simple outfit cannot hide her natural beauty.

When she saw Qin Zhaoyue, she immediately put down the wooden basin, bowed and saluted with smooth and natural movements.

"No need to be so polite." Qin Zhaoyue raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The woman stood up, and a strand of black hair fell from her temple.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently brushed it behind her ear.

It's just a very simple action, but when she does it, it has a natural charm.

Qin Zhaoyue sighed inwardly. Although Dice Heart Mother's actions were cruel and inhuman, her vision in selecting beauties was indeed vicious and impeccable.

Unlike the twenty-four "children" with blank minds, the people in this compound are sane.

After more than a month of peaceful life, they suddenly realized that there is another way to live in this world besides being treated as playthings.

Before Qin Zhaoyue stepped into the courtyard, the people in the courtyard knelt down in unison when they saw her.

As I glanced around, I saw sincere gratitude in the eyes of many people.

She didn't say much, just nodded slightly and turned to leave.

After walking a distance, he asked Sui Mo who was following behind him:

"What do they do here on weekdays?"

"Your Highness, I mostly practiced music, playing the piano, dancing, singing, and...learning how to live like an ordinary person."

Qin Zhaoyue nodded slightly.

It can be imagined that this group of people are top-notch in terms of appearance and talent.

If released into the outside world, it will be divided up by various forces in an instant, and its fate is unpredictable.

Now that they have been taken in, the princess's mansion is their safest haven for now.

It can be predicted that the days in the mansion will be more colorful in the future.

Sui Mo carefully observed the expression of his prince, and saw that he was not unhappy. On the contrary, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You did a good job on this matter." Qin Zhaoyue said lightly.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Your Highness..." Sui Mo's smile was only halfway open.

"Deduct one month's salary."

"Okay... huh?!"

Sui Mo's smile froze on his face and he didn't react for a moment.

After taking a casual walk, Qin Zhaoyue decided to return to her true self and lie back on her couch.

Place a soft couch in the corridor and keep a cup of hot milk tea at hand to help digestion.

It is also an elegant pleasure to leisurely watch the autumn colors deepen and the fallen leaves dance in the courtyard.

The moment he lay down, his body sank into the soft cushion, and Qin Zhaoyue let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The autumn wind is a little chilly, but not to the point where you need to light a charcoal stove. A cup of steaming hot milk tea is just right.

This is the life we ​​should live, comfortable...

Bathing in the cool autumn breeze, quietly admiring the scenery in the courtyard, my eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably.

At this moment, a slender and graceful figure appeared in front of her bed silently as if blending into the wind.

In fact, with Qin Zhaoyue's current cultivation level, he had already noticed the other party approaching, but he was just too lazy to point it out.

The figure stood still, and a clear voice with a hint of teasing rang out:

"Commander-in-Chief, you are in such a good mood."

Qin Zhaoyue didn't even raise his eyelids and replied lazily:

"Hey, isn't this our deputy commander? It's been a while since we last met. How are you?"
