Lian Wangfu, the second level.

Standing in the courtyard was still a middle-aged man.

Seeing Shen Lu coming, he looked like he had been waiting for a long time, and greeted him very warmly and said, "Teacher Shen really deserves to be the great tutor of the Ancient Saint Academy. I watched all the battles just now. It is indeed commendable to achieve such an overwhelming victory in such an unfavorable environment. ”

Compared with the person who pretended to be polite just now, but in fact had a chicken intestine, this person in front of him seemed much more honest, and Shen Lu even unconsciously gave birth to a trace of cordial happiness

Of course, Shen Lu knew that this feeling might be created by the opponent's deliberate use of details such as words or body movements, so he increased his precautions in his heart.

The middle-aged man walked over, and then suddenly patted his head and said, "Oh, look at my brain." I haven't introduced myself yet. In Xia Dong Jingfu, he is the martial arts instructor of King Lian, and the content of our competition this time is also a competition for pure martial arts cultivation. ”

Shen Lu quite liked his straightforward attitude. Nodding his head, he said, "Well, how can I compare?"

Dong Jingfu smiled and said: "It's very simple, if you don't need a trace of mana, use very ordinary rules of ring battles to decide the winner." ”

After a pause, afraid that Shen Lu would have other misunderstandings, Dong Jingfu added: "After the war, no mana is allowed to be used, this is the only rule, and there are no other rules." Other than that, doing anything is not a violation. Hey, how's it going? I'm different from the previous one, I don't like to play around with the rules, so I'm going to be straight about anything. ”

His decisiveness made Shen Lu a lot of good fortune

nodded, but asked suspiciously: "Actually, a large part of this martial art is martial arts, and martial arts basically need to rely on mana to urge." Mr. Dong, is your method of competition too extreme?"

How do you know that it's okay not to say this, as soon as this sentence is made, Dong Jingfu's face suddenly became much gloomy.

He said coldly: "Cultivation is the same way, in fact, there are thousands of changes, and it is not only about cultivating mana. However, too many people in this world attach importance to mana and only cultivate mana, resulting in many precious cultivation methods being forgotten. ”

When Shen Lu heard his words, he suddenly became interested, and said, "I have also heard a little about this. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the wind of cultivation was more prevalent than it is now, but the cultivation methods were strange. At that time, although the mainstream was also cultivating mana, in fact, more people regarded mana as a way to improve their foundation, rather than as now, most people used mana as the main way to fight. ”

The reason why Shen Lu was able to think so much was actually because this incident was mentioned by the teacher who taught history in last afternoon's class.

Yes, Shen Lu usually spends his time eavesdropping on the lessons of the instructors in the Heart Dao Academy, except for his own classes.

Sometimes Shen Lu arranged for the wine clone to listen secretly, and sometimes he simply stood outside the classroom to listen.

Although he is a great tutor, he often regards himself as a student, after all, Shen Lu himself has a lot of things that he doesn't understand, and the original intention of entering the academy at the beginning is also to study.

Dong Jingfu heard that Shen Luneng was on the same topic as himself, and immediately showed joy on his face, and secretly said to Shen Lu: "Teacher Shen, why don't we warm up first?" During this period, you and I can also chat a few more words, otherwise Qin Niangniang's eyeliner will see us chatting here, and I will probably lose my temper." ”

Shen Lu felt more and more that the character of Rao in front of him was still very good, and he had no ill will towards him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." We don't use mana on each other, and practicing our fists and kicks first can also make me familiar with this feeling. ”

After that, the two began to fight each other with their bare hands. Most of the tricks of the two are some of the techniques they mastered when they learn the basic boxing techniques, so although they seem to be playing with bells and whistles at first glance, they are actually massaging each other, and there is no danger.

Dong Jingfu continued on the topic just now: "Hey, many people think that the meaning of the Ten Thousand Laws Continent is that all things on the earth belong to the Fa, so cultivating the Fa is the only purpose. But they all understood wrongly, and the rumors that have been circulating for so many years are also wrong. The so-called Ten Thousand Laws Continent refers to the fact that there is such a thing as mana in this world, and then it can be used by all things in the world! No matter how mysterious and powerful mana is, it is only a source of power for people. Shouldn't the important thing be that there are a variety of people in our world? But now, the purpose of cultivating the Dharma is completely contrary to the path. Cultivation for the purpose of revising the Fa is really too narrow. Shouldn't we cultivate mana and strengthen ourselves in order to become stronger?"

Dong Jingfu seemed to have finally met a bosom friend, and couldn't help but vomit bitterness.

Shen Lu didn't really want to talk to him at first. However, Shen Lu was too interested in the topic he was talking about. In addition, his understanding of mana was completely different from other people's understanding of mana, so Shen Lu fell into deep contemplation.

yes, mana shouldn't be a tool, right?

Why do we in the Ten Thousand Laws Continent try to make things like mana divine and superb?

It's like a rich man who wants to become famous and capable, so what he has to do is spend the money. Of course, he can still make more money, but money is only a process and a means to achieve results for him, but it is not the ultimate goal.

If Rao's goal is to make money for the sake of making more money, what does money mean to him?

Or a more extreme example of gambling is if a person earns a hundred taels of gold in a year of hard work, and his original purpose is to buy a house. But after making enough money, he was afraid that the house would not be sold at a reduced price in the future, so he was reluctant to spend the hundred taels. So even if he has 1,200,000 taels, and in the end he can't turn this money into a better prop that can make his life better, but instead becomes a burden to himself, so is he putting the cart before the horse?

Just as mana is concerned, if a person's purpose in cultivating the Fa is to become stronger and take revenge, and when his mana cultivation reaches a certain level, some people have always advised him to let go of his hatred, and only by letting go of his hatred can he cultivate to a stronger mana cultivation.

So what is the purpose of his cultivation in the end? Is it just because he continues to cultivate?

Shen Lu had never thought about this question before, but now he was hooked up by Dong Jingfu's words.

Seeing that Shen Luban didn't answer, Dong Jingfu couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Shen, don't you have anything to think about?"

Of course, Shen Lu didn't come out with the analysis in his mind one by one, but he still said with admiration: "Teacher Dong's words made me think about a lot of things. Everything else is my imagination and not worth mentioning. But Mr. Dong has a sentence that I agree with. It is indeed wrong for everyone in this continent of ten thousand laws to cultivate the Fa and focus on studying mana. ”

"Really, you think so, right? Dong Jingfu was like a child with low self-esteem, who was suddenly praised by outsiders, and instantly became extremely excited, eager to hear more words from Shen Lu's mouth that had the same opinion as himself.

Shen Lu could only explain: "Mana cultivation has to be very profound and unfathomable. But no matter how deep it is, there is always a limit, or a limit that can be reached by humans. After this limit is encountered, mana cultivation will inevitably come to a huge and incomparably large bottleneck, and this bottleneck will directly determine the fate of our human race! Now that the whole people are cultivating the Fa, regardless of anything else, they are putting their eggs in one basket. If it breaks, it will shatter together, which is a very risky behavior, and if you don't get it right, something will happen. ”

"Uh, this ......" Dong Jingfu also suddenly became speechless.

He originally thought that Shen Lu was just scolding, but he didn't expect that Shen Lu was already thinking about the bottleneck of mana, and even the future of mankind.

After all, most of Shen Lu's memories come from the earth, and thinking about these is inevitable. Combined with the special situation of the Tens of Thousands of Law Continents, Shen Lu will inevitably have some strange thoughts, which is a novel argument that Dong Jingfu has never heard in his life.

But this argument was quickly supported by Dong Jingfu. He continued: "I don't quite understand, but you have to be right. There must be an upper limit to mana, there is no upper limit to mana, and there is also an upper limit to human physique, and eventually it will reach a bottleneck that can never be broken. ”

Shen Lu smiled awkwardly and didn't explain again. Dong Jingfu understood it a little narrowly, but the specific meaning was not too wrong, so Shen Lu did not refute it.

Dong Jingfu continued: "If it was hundreds of years ago, this would not have been the case. Some of the more famous factions at that time, such as the Sword Alliance. They have always advocated the use of mana to strengthen the most basic physique, and then use extremely clever weapon moves to do the main battle. At that time, their swordsmanship and sword skills were all complete. Dozens of moves are combined, varied, and the power is amazing. It's like now, many martial arts only have one and a half moves, there are no combos at all, and there are no variables, it's really the decline of martial arts!"

Shen Lu had also heard about this so-called Sword Alliance from the classroom.

In fact, the so-called Sword Alliance is because there are many sects that mainly cultivate weapons and body skills are gradually declining. In order to stop the decline, dozens of gangs banded together to form the Sword Refining Alliance. And because it is a collection of the most powerful forces in the past, the Sword Alliance actually had a decades-long reign hundreds of years ago.

At that time, the Sword Alliance was the last barrier against the cultivation of the Law, so almost everyone who was dissatisfied with the cultivation would support the Sword Alliance, which also made the Sword Alliance prosperous for many years.

However, due to the times, the cultivation of the Fa has become easier and easier, and the improvement of strength has become more and more obvious. When an old-timer who has been practicing swordsmanship for fifty or sixty years can't beat a teenager who is only about twenty years old after using the physique card, everyone will lose confidence in the Sword Alliance.
