Chapter 410 A Dilapidated Taoist Temple in the Tang Dynasty: A Female Taoist Priest (18)
"??? Why did you have to set up a formation?"
Jiang Yue was speechless. Wasn't this just asking for trouble? She should have known better than to set up this broken formation. The trouble didn't end there. The emperor and empress were interested in this place. It wasn't a royal villa, so many curious people came to check it out. Of course, they just felt that this place was more comfortable and the air was fresher, so staying for a day or two was fine.
The good thing is that they know Jiang Yue is a female Taoist priest, so it's rare for a man to come alone. They usually come with their families. Of course, Jiang Yue wouldn't receive a man alone. Later, it turned into wives coming with their daughters, which was not bad, at least Jiang Yue didn't mind.
At the same time, Jiang Yue also set a period of several months during which she would not receive any visitors. This period was for her to cultivate in seclusion and enjoy a quiet time all to herself. No one would disturb her unless it was a matter of life and death.
For the next few years, Jiang Yue's daily life was pretty much like this. In her spare time, Jiang Yue organized her own knowledge system. Although Jiang Yue could bring her skills to the next world, too much time had passed, and she couldn't quite remember what she had learned in more than twenty worlds. Although this world didn't offer any benefits, it was perfect for organizing her own situation.
Organizing the skills already collected was a complicated task, and it took several years to finally confirm the current skill levels. After checking, she gained a clear understanding of herself, and Jiang Yue struggled for a long time with her future learning plan.
Whether to specialize or broaden one's knowledge is the question. After discussion, they leaned towards specialization because there is so much to learn in this infinite world, and Jiang Yue could not possibly be omniscient.
Most importantly, if she hadn't been to the world of cultivation and the world of wizards, which can make the brain evolve and become smarter, Jiang Yue wouldn't have been able to learn so many things with her own intelligence. Many things become more and more difficult as you go on, and you have to take drugs to become a little smarter in each world in order to learn something.
Specialization doesn't mean giving up learning other things; it means allocating more time to key skills, just like in high school, where you'd have more classes in core subjects like math, physics, chemistry, and biology, and less time in other subjects.
To avoid haphazard learning in the future, Jiang Yue created a large-scale model of herself and used Bai Ze's big data calculations to generate a learning plan best suited to her. She then began to study according to this plan.
This plan is also dynamically adjusted. For example, if Jiang Yue gets tired of studying and takes a month off, the course will be more intensive after that month. If the world collects a lot of knowledge, the subsequent courses will also change in real time.
At the end of each world, Jiang Yue would arrange an exam for herself so that Bai Ze could assess her current knowledge level. This exam would be like a final exam. If the time span of a world was too long, the exam would be arranged multiple times and adjusted as needed.
When Jiang Yue reappeared in the public eye, almost ten years had passed. The protagonist's son was already seven or eight years old. Jiang Yue had been keeping to herself and not paying attention to the outside world. Having just finished a phase of her study plan, Jiang Yue decided to go out for a stroll.
Having lived in this world for so long without ever going out to explore, I should at least record my life during a trip to the Tang Dynasty. That way, if I ever become a history teacher, I'll have something to say about it. Who can understand something better than someone who has seen it with their own eyes?
Jiang Yue can do whatever she wants and leave whenever she wants. Over the years, she has placed two puppets outside. She pretended to choose people and finally chose a puppet couple. The two of them didn't have any children, so they could accompany Jiang Yue on her trips. Although it's quite difficult to go out now, Jiang Yue can still get a permit with her abilities.
Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment while preparing transportation, but ultimately chose the carriage over the waterway. After all, this trip might take several years, and the academy had just developed a shock-absorbing vehicle. After buying the carriage, she needed to say goodbye to her friends and at least go to the palace to inform the Empress.
When Jiang Yue said goodbye to everyone, Kui Lei had already bought everything: tents, portable stoves, iron pots, buckets, books to pass the time on the road, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, since she would have to make a drawing to record her journey. There was also food and clothes for the road. Three months had passed after all the preparations were completed.
It was a perfect time to travel, with the autumn air crisp and clear. Two carriages left the place where they had stayed for several years, one after the other. As the carriages moved slowly forward, Jiang Yue lifted the curtain to look at the scenery along the way. Occasionally, she could see a few children laughing and playing on the ridges of the fields.
As they reached a forested area, it grew dark. The puppet couple skillfully found an open space to set up camp and start a fire. Jiang Yue got off the carriage and stretched her body. Then she took out the cooking utensils from the carriage. Since she had eaten something good when she set off during the day, she planned to cook some hot soup for the evening.
When the last glimmer of light in the sky disappeared, Jiang Yue's dinner was ready and she could eat. There were too many flying insects while she was eating, so Jiang Yue took out the pesticide powder she had prepared in advance and sprinkled it on the plants. Although the pesticide powder was not as effective as the spray, it was safe and inconspicuous. Even if someone saw it, it wouldn't matter. It was much better than the alcohol spray bottle or the like.
After finishing their meal, the puppets took the initiative to clean up the dishes. Jiang Yue went back to her tent and read for a while. She was reading books written by some great Confucian scholars of this dynasty, just to pass the time. When she saw that it was almost time, she left two puppets to take turns keeping watch. After blowing out the lamp, Jiang Yue went to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up to find the space in the woods quite nice, though not as spacious as the renovated Taoist temple. After taking care of my personal hygiene, breakfast was ready. After eating, I packed my things and continued on my way.
Today we need to travel all day to reach Wuguan as soon as possible. According to the plan, we are going south this year. Since it is already autumn, we can't travel very fast by horse-drawn carriage. It's too cold to go north. The south is definitely more comfortable. We will set off for the north in spring. That way, it will be just right.
Of course, this is the ideal route. If something happens along the way or we stay in one place for too long, the itinerary will probably have to be changed. Anyway, the purpose of this trip is to have a great time. In fact, Jiang Yue also wants to go out to sea. The protagonist's big ship is going out to sea. She will see if she has the opportunity to get her own ship and go on a grand voyage.
During their lunch break, they came across a place with exceptionally beautiful scenery. They had originally planned to continue their journey today, but the scenery was so stunning that Jiang Yue couldn't resist the urge to paint. So, she decided to let the puppets set up camp and stay there for a few days. They had enough food, and if not, they had space, so there was no need to worry.
Jiang Yue gave the order, and the two puppets naturally obeyed. Since there was no one else around, the two puppets quickly set up the camp. After the camp was set up, the puppets took the horses to drink water, and Jiang Yue took out her drawing paper and drawing board, ready to get started.
