Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 324: How can something that scholars do be called stealing?
After moving around for a while, Lin Qianxing began to think about what to do next.
First of all, this time he didn't turn into a human or an animal, but directly turned into a pen.
As a spiritual object, it is obviously not easy for someone with this identity to do things.
In the early days, he wanted to have a better life in the world, and it would be best if he had a partner with a suitable identity.
Simply put, he'd better make use of that Duggie and get some help through him.
To be honest, Lin Qianxing has never tried being a grandfather, but he thinks it is quite interesting.
Then Lin Qianxing decided to wait here for Du Ji to return.
While waiting, Lin Qianxing was not idle. He began to try to practice.
Use your mind to capture free energy particles from the outside world and try to strengthen yourself.
The process was not smooth.
On the one hand, the energy in the outside world is thin. Another thing is that this is the first time that Lin Qianxing has tried to practice from a material perspective.
Many of the previous spiritual principles no longer seem to be applicable at this moment.
He needs to adjust and adapt more so that he can practice better.
Fortunately, he has the [Hengwo] plug-in, so he doesn't have to worry about accidentally damaging himself no matter how hard he tries. Moreover, the mental enhancements are mostly the same. At least the technique of concentrating the mind is still very useful.
As Lin Qianxing tried to practice, time passed quickly and the sky outside gradually darkened.
Suddenly, with a creaking sound, the door opened and a young man in plain clothes and with a tired face walked in.
This person was Du Ji, who had been reading in the library of the academy for the whole day.
He yawned. Although he was very tired, he still took the wooden bucket and prepared to go outside to fetch some water to wash up and rest.
On the other side, Lin Qianxing, who had been waiting at the desk for a long time, watched the scene quietly and was not in a hurry to disturb Du Ji.
Although he had learned a lot of information about Duggie from his memory, he hoped to learn more about this future collaborator through on-site observation in order to facilitate the formulation of a cooperation strategy.
Soon, Du Ji finished washing up. He immediately looked at Lin Qianxing on the pen holder on the desk, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and said, "Ahe, wait for me. Soon I will be a formal student, and then I will have the money to redeem you."
"It's no use saying this to me." Lin Qianxing concentrated his mind and directly passed a thought to Du Jidao.
"Who!" Du Ji was startled and his voice rose three degrees, but he reacted instantly and looked at Lin Qianxing with vigilance: "Is it the pen that Ah He gave me? Who are you? Why are you in the pen?"
"Your reaction is quite quick, and you look like a scholar." Lin Qianxing first praised him subtly, and then said, "As for who I am? I am still looking for it, but one thing is certain, that is, you are lucky to have met me. In the future, even if you can't be called a patriarch, at least you can dominate a place and become a person of some importance. Most importantly, you should be able to redeem your confidante in advance."
Du Ji's eyes kept changing, and he was extremely moved by Lin Qianxing's last words.
He had a guess in his mind that Lin Qianxing was most likely a great monk who had met with disaster, and due to some coincidence, his remaining soul escaped into his pen.
Judging from the tone, the other party must be of high profile.
But think about it, if someone can remain immortal as a residual soul, he is definitely not a simple person.
Being able to get help from others is indeed an opportunity for me.
Of course, there may also be some risks.
But this risk is just like this opportunity, he probably has no right to refuse.
After all, if the other party is really a great monk, even if only a wisp of soul is left, it would be easy to kill him. If he does not cooperate in the slightest, his life may no longer belong to him.
So this time he could only choose to cooperate with this powerful person as much as possible, help him achieve his goals, and then gain some benefits from it.
In less than a breath, Duggie had figured out all these things.
From this point, we can see that his ability to go all the way to Kyoto as an ordinary person and to obtain the qualification to study in Kanghua Academy through hard work was not entirely dependent on luck.
"I wonder if there is anything I can do for you, senior?" After Du Ji calmed down, he looked at Lin Qianxing very calmly and asked.
"I just like talking to smart people. It's easy to communicate with them." Lin Qianxing said with satisfaction: "What I need you to do is very simple. Help me regain all my memories and restore my strength. In the process, I will also help you gain the fame and fortune you want, as well as other things."
Lin Qianxing slightly emphasized the word "others".
What it specifically refers to depends on how Duggie imagines it.
"What exactly do you need me to do?" Du Ji asked.
"If I remember correctly, you are preparing to obtain a Taoist position?" Lin Qianxing asked.
Several tasks in this game are obviously related to Taoist positions. Lin Qianxing feels that he should first find a way to obtain a Taoist position.
So he planned to use Duggie as a breakthrough point.
"Senior is right. I am trying to obtain the Taoist position of [student]." Du Ji said.
"Student?" Lin Qianxing pretended to be confused and said, "I haven't heard of it. What are the conditions for obtaining it?"
"The Taoist position of [Student] is not uncommon among our human race. You only need to accumulate enough wisdom to successfully obtain it." Du Ji answered tentatively.
Lin Qianxing saw Du Ji's temptation, but he didn't care. When you start from a wrong starting point, no matter how you go next, your destination will be wrong.
"Accumulate enough wisdom? Just read books, right?" Lin Qianxing said.
"Not completely," Duggie explained, "Reading books only gives you knowledge. Only knowledge that can be put to use is called wisdom."
While answering, Du Ji also had further guesses about Lin Qianxing's identity.
Since Lin Qianxing did not refute, he is most likely not a human.
No wonder they don’t even know such simple common sense.
However, this may not be the reason why he claimed to have lost his memory.
Well, these could be illusions deliberately created by this old monster, but the possibility is not very high, and he doesn't seem to be worth being deceived and teased by the other party?
There is no point in the main thing, right?
If the other party doesn't want to say it, he can just not say it. Why deliberately mislead him?
"Then I roughly understand. That is to say , you need to master more life skills, right?" Lin Qianxing said.
"Although it's not exact, it's roughly like this." Du Ji said.
When Lin Qianxing heard the voice, he felt something strange.
As long as you master enough wisdom, can you directly obtain the Taoist position?
Doesn't he have enough wisdom?
Or does it mean that both theory and practice are necessary to be called wisdom?
So can this be considered a ritual to convey a message?
Through the ceremony, you can convey the information that you meet the conditions to the source of the Tao position, and then get feedback?
So is the Taoist position bestowed by heaven and earth, or is it a power bestowed by a powerful monk through faith.
As his thoughts quickly changed, Lin Qianxing asked, "How much wisdom do you still lack?"
"I don't know." Du Ji shook his head.
"You don't know?" Lin Qianxing was surprised and said, "If you don't know, how can you obtain the Taoist position?"
"Once you have accumulated enough wisdom, you will naturally be able to obtain the Taoist position." Du Ji replied.
"Then how do you usually accumulate wisdom?" Lin Qianxing asked again.
"Study in the academy, and then practice and use the knowledge in the book as much as possible." Du Ji said, "This is the fastest way to summarize in the academy."
"So what is the main knowledge you learn and practice?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Martial arts, agriculture, craftsmen, cooking, music..." Du Ji said.
"You have acquired knowledge from so many industries, but your wisdom is still not enough?" Lin Qianxing asked puzzled.
"I am mainly broad-minded but not deeply-rooted. If I can accumulate enough wisdom in one area, I can easily reach the standard of obtaining the Taoist position of [student]." Du Ji replied.
"Then why don't you just choose a direction to focus on?" Lin Qianxing said.
"This is actually more difficult. For many things, it's relatively simple to just learn the basic introductory knowledge, but it's not so easy to master them. The time I spend on mastering one skill may be enough for me to learn ten skills." Du Ji said.
"Suppose you make an innovation in a certain skill, does that count as gaining wisdom?" Lin Qianxing suddenly asked.
"Yes, and the wisdom I can gain will far exceed the level of practicing ordinary skills. It can be compared to mastering a skill, or even more exaggerated." Duggie said.
"Then the problem is much simpler." Lin Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean, senior?" Du Ji asked.
"I will teach you innovative skills." Lin Qianxing said.
Duggie seemed a little skeptical.
There was something he hadn't said before in his mind, which was that innovation was much more difficult than mastery, so this was almost not something he considered.
But it seems that this senior seems to be very confident about this?
"How should I address you, senior?" Du Ji asked.
"You can just call me Bi Lao." Lin Qianxing seemed to have thought of something and said.
…
The next day, Lin Qianxing decided to start guiding Du Ji to innovate.
He thought, after all, he had experienced so many worlds, so as long as he could bring out things that existed in other worlds but not in this world and let Duggie copy them, wouldn't that be considered innovation?
However, many of the things he mentioned either already existed in this world or Duggie himself couldn't figure it out, so Lin Qianxing was stunned.
He is a typical example of someone who has high expectations but poor skills. Now he always feels that he is somewhat incompetent as an old grandfather.
"How about I tell you to copy down an article, poem or piece of music?" Lin Qianxing said.
“Senior, whether it’s articles, poems, or music, although they can be considered innovative, if these things are not good enough, they cannot be considered the accumulation of much wisdom, but just a waste of time,” Du Ji said.
"I haven't even said anything yet, how can you conclude that I'm not good enough?" Lin Qianxing said unconvincedly: "Listen carefully, kid, I'll talk next and you write."
To be honest, Lin Qianxing would not want to be a plagiarist unless he had no other choice.
He always feels ashamed when he plagiarizes other people's wisdom.
This is especially true when it comes to artistic creation.
Now he could only comfort himself, how could something that a scholar does be called stealing?
