Chapter 41: If the heart does not die, the great road will not perish

The three jade tablets that came suddenly made the monks around the capital restless. Although some people wondered why this blessing came so suddenly, no one could answer them; after all, no one could understand the thoughts of the ancestor of the immortal family.

The matter of selecting three monks to go to Jingtai has been finalized, but this matter has nothing to do with Zuo Lingquan, and he didn't care about it. After leaving the imperial city, the sunset was already setting in the west, and the buildings on the south bank of Wende Bridge were bathed in the red sunset.

Zuo Lingquan returned to Zuo Mansion and went to the back house to report his safety with his third uncle and aunt. When he passed the corridor, he suddenly heard a light sound of "swish swish swish swish swish..." behind the east courtyard wall, a sound of waving a sword!

Zuo Lingquan paused and practiced swords for fourteen years. He was too familiar with the sound; the source of the sound was the east house where the young master lived. He turned around and walked through the corridor and came to the courtyard where Zuo Yunting lived.

The courtyard was cleaned up by servants, which was quite neat. However, a black donkey was standing in the middle of the courtyard, leisurely eating the flowers in the bonsai, destroying the original elegant artistic conception of the courtyard.

Zuo Lingquan entered the yard and looked up and saw Zuo Yunting wearing a young master's robe, holding a wooden sword in his hand, playing the turtle sword in disorganized manner.

Since Zuo Yunting claims to be "unlearning and ignorant", he must be both civil and military. However, this is not stupid, but simply being lazy and lazy, and he has been reluctant to learn since he was a child.

Seeing Zuo Yunting's sun hitting the west and starting to practice swords, Zuo Lingquan was naturally surprised. In a blink of an eye, he found that Lao Lu, who had just met for a while, was also sitting under the eaves in the yard, holding a tea bowl, watching Zuo Yunting play with his sword.

Zuo Lingquan did not disturb Zuo Yunting's swordplay - mainly because he was disorganized and could not predict the next move at all, so he was difficult to get close to.

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

"Old Lu is good at it. Uncle San and his friends used to invite famous teachers to teach martial arts, but the fifth brother refused to study hard. It was the first time he saw him practicing sword so seriously."

Old Lu hung his hat on his back, his long sword crossed his knees, and he smiled hoarsely with a tea bowl:

"It is introductory and you need to prescribe the right medicine. Your brother is casual and lazy, but he likes to hear stories about the chivalrous and trashed stories of the traitors. After drinking the night before, I pulled your brother to chat and said that I was actually the lord of the thirteen city of Zhongzhou Sword Imperial City, half a step in the jade stairs, and his sword skills are superb. As long as I learn my sword skills, he can be proud and press the most talented cousin in your family, so that you can understand what it means to 'Don't bully the young man'. Your brother was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night, so he got up and started learning swords..."

??

Zuo Lingquan was stunned and looked at Lao Lu up and down, feeling that his tone was joking, so he leaned closer and said softly:

"Did he really believe it?"

"Do you think with your brother's brain, I, a master, can he not believe it?"

"It's probably not appropriate for Mr. Lu to fool people like this. If the fifth brother noticed that he was cheated in the future..."

"When I found out that I was cheated, I had learned something in my hands. It was better than being ignorant now."

Zuo Lingquan thought about it and it was true. He raised his eyes and carefully observed the fifth brother's turtle sword, and then said after a moment:

"Can you really learn something with such a mess of swordsmanship?"

Lao Lu doesn't like this very much: "When you learn swords on the first day, can you be so stern?"

Zuo Lingquan remembered things when he was born. When he was playing sword for the first time, he was really serious. However, it was hard to talk about this, so he nodded and smiled:

"That's true."

Lao Lu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and smiled and said, "Don't underestimate your brother. I have lived so old and I have some unique skills in my hands. As long as your brother studies hard, his future achievements may not be worse than you."

Zuo Lingquan did not refute this: "If Brother Fifth can refine true qi, it would be normal for me to surpass me; I have made no achievements 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. In fact, after contacting him, he also realized that Zuo Lingquan really didn't know that he had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

Lao Lu was not surprised by this. After all, Zuo Lingquan’s cultivation method is indeed unique.

At the beginning of cultivation, what people do is nothing more than strengthening the meridian acupoints to refine and accommodate the true qi containing the power of heaven and earth.

The most common method to strengthen the meridian acupoints is to close the Qihai and become a container, and then use a small amount of true qi to stimulate the acupoints that have not been opened like a dripping water through the stone.

This method is equivalent to building a tower. One layer of cultivation is used to build it up one layer after another, step by step, and it is concise and clear. It is the mainstream of the sect's practice of magic skills.

Zuo Lingquan is a method of integrated formation - meridian acupoints, which are connected to heaven and earth. They do their best to squeeze the body and accelerate the flow of qi and blood, and the speed of spiritual energy entering and leaving the body will also accelerate.

True Qi is originally condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the difference is that the spiritual energy attributes are mixed and thin.

These spiritual energy that enters the body will also stimulate the Ren and Du meridians, and the effect is similar to the first one; the difference is that the speed is very slow and people can hardly feel it. It takes a lot of water to pass through the stones over time, and until the small circles take shape, there will be qualitative changes.

This method is like carving a tall building on a stone embryo, which cannot be used before it is formed; relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to stimulate it, the door of the whole body will naturally be wide open, and even if the true energy is refined, it will not be able to hold it.

In the early stage, if you don’t have true energy, you will have no chance to draw talismans, refining alchemy, and casting techniques. You can only use your body to exert some combat power; you will push your body to the limit day after day. If you don’t have a famous teacher’s care, you will not be able to sense the realm exactly and you will not know how long it will take to practice.

After the small Zhoutian is formed, the two methods are different, and there is no difference in the methods of cultivation.

Most people in the world can never finish the Qi Refining Period in their entire lives. The second method is to put in a hundred times more effort and risks than the first one, but the Qi Refining Period is no different from that of mortals. Even if they finish the Qi Refining Period, their advantages are only integrated, with a rock-solid foundation and a solid foundation in their body.

This kind of cultivation path that is extreme and too testing perseverance is easy to be unable to hold on to the bamboo basket to fetch water, so it requires dedicated personnel to take care of it. Each immortal sect is generally only used when cultivating successors; if it is used on a large scale, it does not have so much energy to take care of it, and it cannot produce immediate results, and no one learns it. If you use it less, you will naturally have few people who know it. Only a very small number of secular warriors accidentally knocked over this path and entered the door of cultivation without relying on Qi Refining Methods.

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

When touching the bones, the whole body has been opened for a while, and the true qi enters the body and leaks into a sieve, so it is evaluated as "naturally blocked meridians."

It’s no wonder that the monks here are short-sighted. After all, this situation is rare outside. How many three-year-old children in the world can practice themselves to death without the guidance of their teachers?

It can only be said that Zuo Lingquan was too sensible and too diligent, and lacked masters to lead the way, so he accidentally walked on a different path than ordinary people.

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

In the practice of cultivation, it is a taboo for experts to guide them at will, because no one knows what the future will be.

If Zuo Lingquan cannot hold on to this path, he will give up, which means that the Taoist heart is not firm. If he helps this time, he will give up sooner or later on the road ahead, because the master will not always be by his side.

With the experience of getting out of the fog, and next time I encounter similar difficulties, my confidence and perseverance will inevitably be much greater than that of ordinary people. This is the growth and transformation of my state of mind.

And it doesn't make any point to tell now.

When he saw Zuo Lingquan's physical strength, his strength was comparable to that of the twelve-level martial arts practitioners, which showed that the little Zhoutian had become more perfect and should be able to come soon.

He asked Jingtao to recruit disciples here, but in fact he wanted to indirectly stimulate Zuo Lingquan to see if it could arouse Zuo Lingquan's desire to fight for him and help him break through the situation.

If you tell me directly, you will be anxious when you are overjoyed. If you are eager to achieve success, everything will not be accomplished, which may delay others' practice.

Therefore, Lao Lu can tell Zuo Lingquan now that there is only one advice from someone who has experienced it:

"Practice one way is like walking without a lamp at night, crossing without a bridge without a stream. No one can see what is ahead, whether it is dangerous or blessed under his feet. All we can do is stick to our original heart. If the heart does not die, the great way will not be destroyed; if the heart dies, everything will be empty."

Stick to your true heart...

Zuo Lingquan carefully savored it and nodded thoughtfully:

"Thank you Mr. Lu for your advice, I will remember it in my heart."
