Too Reckless

The sudden arrival of the three jade cards caused the monks around the capital to become restless. Although some people wondered why this blessing came so suddenly, no one could answer it; after all, no one could touch the thoughts of the ancestor of the Xian Family to be clear.

The matter of choosing three monks to scare the terrace has been finalized, but this matter has nothing to do with Zuo Lingquan, and he doesn't take it to heart. Leaving the Imperial City, the sun has already set and the scattered buildings on the south bank of Wende Bridge are bathed in the red sunset.

Zuo Lingquan returned to Zuofu and went to the back house to report safety to the third uncle and third aunt. When he was passing through the veranda, he suddenly heard a soft sound of 'swish, swish...' - the sound of swinging a sword!

Zuo Lingquan paused, practicing swordsmanship for fourteen years, and he was too familiar with this voice; the source of the voice was the east house where the young master lived. He turned around and walked through the veranda to the courtyard where Zuo Yunting lived.

The courtyard was cleaned up by family members, and it was fairly clean, but at this time, a black donkey was in the middle of the courtyard, nibbling on the flowers in the bonsai leisurely, destroying the original elegant mood of the courtyard.

Zuo Lingquan entered the courtyard, looked up and saw under the steps of the main house, Zuo Yunting was wearing a robe of a son, holding a wooden sword in his hand, playing Wang Bajian without any rules.

Since Zuo Yunting claims to be 'no learning and no skills', then he must be incompetent in both civil and military affairs. But this is not stupid, but simply delicious and lazy, and refused to learn since childhood.

Zuo Lingquan was naturally surprised when he saw that Zuo Yunting came out from the west and started practicing swordsmanship. In a blink of an eye, I found that Lao Lu, who I had just met for a while, was also in the courtyard, sitting under the eaves with a tea bowl, watching Zuo Yunting play with his sword.

Zuo Lingquan didn't disturb Zuo Yunting's swordplay—the main reason was that there was no way to predict the next move, and it was difficult to get close.

He came to the eaves of the west wing, dragged a small bench and sat beside him, and praised:

"Elder Lu is good at tactics. The third uncle and the others invited famous teachers to teach martial arts before, but the fifth brother refused to study hard. This is the first time I have seen sword practice so seriously."

Old Lu's hat hung on his back, his long sword was across his knees, and he held a tea bowl with a hoarse smile:

"In order to get people started, you need to find the right medicine. Your brother is sloppy and lazy, but he likes to hear about books, and is very interested in the stories of Xianmen chivalry and the counterattack of the waste. After drinking the night before, I took your brother to chat and said that I In fact, he is the thirteen city lords of the Sword Emperor City of Central Continent. He is half a jade rank, and his swordsmanship is magical. As long as he learns my swordsmanship, he will be able to raise his eyebrows and beat the most talented cousin in your family, so that you can understand What is 'Don't bully the poor'. Your brother is so excited, he couldn't sleep last night, he got up and started to learn swords..."

? ?

Zuo Lingquan's eyes were astonished, and he looked up and down at Lao Lu, feeling that his tone was joking, so he leaned closer and said softly:

"Finth brother, does he really believe it?"

"Do you think that with your brother's brain, I am a master, can he believe it?"

"I'm afraid it's not suitable for Mr. Lu to fool people like this. If the fifth brother finds out that he has been deceived in the future..."

"When you find out you've been cheated, you've already learned something in your hands, it's better than not being ignorant now."

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while, and it was true. He raised his eyes to carefully observe Fifth Brother's Wang Bajian, and said after a while:

"With this messy swordsmanship, can you really learn something?"

Lao Lu didn't like this very much: "When you learned the sword on the first day, you were able to play well?"

Zuo Lingquan remembered things from birth. When he played the sword for the first time, he was very careful. But it's not easy to talk about it, he nodded and smiled:

"That's true."

Lao Lu took the tea bowl and sipped, and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate your brother, I have lived so many years, and I have some unique skills hidden in my hands. As long as your brother studies hard, his future achievements will not necessarily be worse than yours."

Zuo Lingquan did not refute this: "If the fifth brother can cultivate true qi, it is normal to surpass me; I have not achieved anything since I was three years old, and I don't know when I will reach the threshold."

Lao Lu saw the confusion in Zuo Lingquan's eyes, but after contacting him, he also saw that Zuo Lingquan really didn't know that he had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

Old Lu was not surprised by this, after all, Zuo Lingquan's cultivation path was indeed different.

At the beginning of cultivation, what people do is to strengthen the meridians and acupoints to refine and contain the true qi that contains the power of heaven and earth.

The most common way to strengthen the meridian orifices is to seal the sea of ​​qi to become a container, and then use a small amount of true qi to stimulate the acupoints that have not been opened up by dripping water through a stone.

This method is equivalent to building a tower, one floor is used for one floor, and one floor is built up, step by step, concise and clear, and it is the mainstream of sect practice.

As for Zuo Lingquan, it is a one-piece method, the meridian orifice, which is originally connected with the heaven and the earth. Do your best to squeeze the body and speed up the circulation of qi and blood, and the speed of the aura in and out of the body will also speed up.

True qi is originally condensed from the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. The difference is that the attributes of spiritual qi are mixed and thin.

These auras that enter the body will also stimulate the two channels of Ren and Du, and the effect is similar to the first one; the difference is that the speed is very slow, people can hardly feel it, and it needs to be accumulated over time, until the small Zhoutian takes shape.

This method is like carving a high-rise building on a stone embryo. It cannot be used until it is formed. It is stimulated by the aura of the heavens and the earth.

In the early days, if there is no infuriating qi around you, you will not be able to draw talismans, alchemy, and magic. You can only rely on your body to exert a little combat power; day after day, you push your body to the limit. Not sure how long it will take.

And after Xiao Zhoutian takes shape, the two methods have the same goal in different ways, and there is no difference between the methods of cultivation.

Most people in the world can't complete the Qi refining period in their entire life. The second method requires a hundred times more effort and risk than the first method, but the Qi refining period is no different from that of ordinary people; even if the Qi refining period is completed, the advantages are only It is one piece, the foundation is rock solid, and the body foundation is very solid.

This kind of cultivation path that goes to extremes and tests perseverance, it is easy to be unable to hold on to the bamboo basket to draw water, so it needs special care, and each immortal gate generally only adopts it when training successors; if it is used on a large scale, it will not work. With so much energy in nursing, there is no immediate effect, and no one learns. The less people who use it, the less people know about it. There are only a very small number of worldly warriors who have mistakenly stumbled into this path, and have entered the door of cultivation without relying on the Qi refining method.

Old Lu guessed that Zuo Lingquan should have exercised his body too early. He practiced martial arts at the age of three and only touched his bones at the age of six.

When groping the bones, the door of the whole body was wide open for a period of time, and the true qi leaked into the body into a sieve, so it was judged as 'naturally blocked meridians'.

It's no wonder that the monks here are short-sighted. After all, this kind of situation is rarely seen outside. Just ask how many three-year-old children in the world can hold their own 'heart to the Tao' without the guidance of their teachers. Practice to the death?

It can only be said that Zuo Lingquan was too sensible, too diligent, and lacked an expert to lead the way, so he took a different path from ordinary people by mistake. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

However, although Lao Lu knew the reason, he did not intend to tell Zuo Lingquan about it.

It is a big taboo for experts to arbitrarily point out one way of cultivation, because no one knows how the road ahead will be.

If Zuo Lingquan can't hold on to this path and will give up, it means that his heart is not strong. He helped this time, and sooner or later he will give up on the road in the future, because the master will not always be by his side.

And with the experience of getting out of the fog, the next time you encounter a similar predicament, the confidence and perseverance must be much greater than ordinary people. This is the growth and transformation of the state of mind.

And it doesn't make sense to tell now.

He looked at Zuo Lingquan's physique, his strength was comparable to that of the twelve martial arts practitioners, indicating that Xiao Zhoutian had already reached perfection, and should soon be able to usher in the final step.

He asked Jing Terrace to recruit disciples here, but he actually wanted to stimulate Zuo Lingquan indirectly, to see if he could arouse Zuo Lingquan's desire to fight and help him break through.

If you tell it directly, you must be anxious when you are overjoyed. If you are eager to seek success, everything will fail, and it may delay other people's cultivation.

Therefore, the only thing Old Lu can tell Zuo Lingquan now is an exhortation from someone who has come over:

"Cultivating a single path is like walking in a long night without lights, and crossing a torrent without bridges. No one can see what lies ahead, whether there is danger or blessing underfoot. The only thing I can do as monks is to stick to the original heart. If the heart does not die, then The Great Way is immortal; when the heart dies, everything becomes empty."

Stay true to your heart...

Zuo Lingquan pondered carefully, and nodded thoughtfully:

"Many thanks to Mr. Lu for his guidance, the younger generation will definitely keep it in mind."

Old Lu chuckled lightly, but after laughing, he sighed secretly - he could tell this truth to the younger generation, but his heart was already ashes, and sometimes it was useless to keep it in mind...
