The "basic training" that Ren Changsheng assigned to Pan Long was really some very basic things.

The first training is ignition.

It is not to use a fire sickle to make fire, nor to drill wood for fire, and of course not to light a fire with internal force, but to put an incense stick there, so that Pan Long can not be restrained with his fists and feet or weapons, in short, let the attack rub its edge, just ignite it, but not let it move at all.

This is not difficult for Pan Long, it is nothing more than to exert force fiercely and retract quickly. He can do it.

But Ren Changsheng gave him a jade talisman and asked him to wear it to cultivate.

Wearing the jade talisman, Pan Long suddenly found that his internal force had become stagnant, and it was no longer as flexible and smooth as before.

The internal force is not flexible enough, and the force is still strong, but the force is not fast enough.

With a sweep of the palm, the incense was lit, but the way it was lit was - from top to bottom, the whole thing burned.

To be precise, it was directly shaken into debris by Pan Long's palm force, and then the debris burned, and it only took a few seconds for it to completely turn into a cloud of ash, leaving behind a large cloud of smoke.

Needless to say, Pan Long's face turned red.

"Internal forces, hehe, internal forces. Ren Changsheng laughed twice, and his voice was quite sarcastic, "Many people feel that I don't have enough strength, speed, or control...... It doesn't matter, I have internal strength. Insufficient internal force, insufficient speed, internal force, control force, internal force assistance......"

"These ideas, of course, can be done in actual combat. After all, fighting is a matter of life and death, no matter what method you use, it is a good way to kill your opponent. If you can mount a bed crossbow in your opponent's back and shoot an arrow, it's amazing. ”

"But when you practice, you can't have such a mentality. Internal forces are good auxiliary tools, and can even be said to be omnipotent. But if you can do it yourself, then you can use more internal energy in what is more needed. ”

"What if my internal strength is high enough?" Pan Long asked.

Ren Changsheng glanced at him: "Manpower is sometimes poor, and the internal force grows to a certain extent, and it reaches the limit." The internal force that flesh and blood can carry is limited after all. Otherwise, why do you think that the innate master should pursue 'body difference'?"

"But I've already cultivated to a 'different body'. ”

"There is also a limit to being different. Ren Changsheng said, "Anyway, the internal force is a thing, and it will be cultivated for a period of time a day, and practicing it for too long is harmful and useless." What's so bad about making time to practice mastery of your body?"

"And ......," he hesitated, "and many times, internal forces may not be as good as the body. ”

Pan Long asked curiously, "What is the specific situation?"

"In the future, when you walk the rivers and lakes, you may encounter demons...... Demons all have special abilities, and many of them can completely invalidate internal forces. In the face of that kind of demon, unless you have cultivated to the soul and can ignite mana from the soul, you can only rely on your own body to fight. ”

Ren Changsheng showed a look of reminiscence: "I once encountered such a demon back then, and as soon as I looked at it, my internal strength disappeared cleanly and disappeared. At that time, I had already cultivated to the Soul Alien, and I was constantly igniting mana to fight. But the mana is also limited, and when the mana is exhausted, I have to fight it to the death with my body, and I almost survive. Although it has been a long time since that battle, every time I think about it, I still feel terrified. ”

"If I hadn't exercised my mastery of the body before, then when the mana burned out, there would be only one way to die. ”

Pan Long didn't refute this time, he felt that if he continued to refute, he would raise the bar.

He was a human in his previous life, not a barbell.

In the following period, Pan Long had an additional training program.

Martial arts training has been put down for the time being, according to Ren Changsheng, his martial arts have almost reached a bottleneck, no matter how he practices, if he practices a thousand times or ten thousand times, he will not make any progress, he is just wasting time.

What he has to do, in addition to improving his physical fitness, is to enhance his control over his body.

"The same martial arts, performed in the hands of someone who has complete control of their own body, are much stronger than those who do not control their own body. He said, "When you lay a good foundation and look back at your own fist and foot kung fu, you will naturally understand how to practice next." ”

Pan Long felt that the old ancestor was reasonable, and he cultivated with peace of mind.

The time for cultivation passed quickly, and before I knew it, it went from June to July, and then August, September, and October...... In late October, Pan Long got the news that a special visitor had come to the Ren family.

The Great Xia Dynasty inspected the imperial vice-history, the son of the right general of the rear army, and the confidant of the prince Di Luonan, Cangyuan.

The visitor came very low-key, without a single entourage, and just came to the door alone. If it weren't for him reporting his identity, maybe Uncle Chen, who was guarding the door, wouldn't have imagined that a fourth-grade official would come.

Cangyuan met with the old lady in charge of the Ren family, and proposed to let Di Luonan pay a visit to Ren Changsheng, the "white-eyed old man".

Of course, this visit is not a private meeting, but a formal visit, the kind with political significance.

Old lady Ren hesitated a little, delayed for a while, and then summoned the old ancestor Ren Changsheng.

"Seven Killing Star Emperor Luo Nan wants to see me?" Ren Changsheng was a little surprised, "He was ordered to inspect the Quartet, he should be everywhere to observe the people's situation and supervise the officialdom, what are you doing when you see me, an outsider?"

"Cangyuan said, Di Luonan wants to talk to you about the general trend of the world. Through the communication mirror, the old lady's voice came.

"The general trend of the world? he is not even the crown prince, what does the general trend of the world have to do with him?" Ren Changsheng was even more surprised, "What's more, Emperor Renchen is about sixty years old this year, and he is still early to inherit the throne in old age, where is his turn to talk about the general trend of the world as a prince?"

Cang Yuan didn't say it, he only said that you won't regret it. ”

“...... I can meet with Di Luonan in private first, and after meeting and talking, it's not too late to make a decision. ”

"Cang Yuan said, if you want to meet in private first, he can come to see you instead of Di Luonan. He said that he knew what to say. If he couldn't answer the question, then Di Luonan couldn't answer it either. ”

"Then let him come to me. "Ren Changsheng doesn't have the frame of a big man at all," Cangyuan is also a rising star in Zhongzhou, which is worth seeing. ”

The next morning, not long after breakfast, Pan Long saw two Yunsheng beasts going up the mountain, and an elder of the Ren family accompanied a handsome young man.

That young man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is a rare beautiful man. It's just that his temperament is a little strange, Pan Long always feels that something is not quite right when he looks at his eyebrows, but he can't say what is wrong.

Maybe...... Is he too clean?

Pan Long didn't think about it, kept quiet, and listened to the conversation between the two sides.

But Cang Yuan obviously didn't mean to let others listen, and after a few words of greeting, he said that he wanted to talk to Ren Changsheng alone.

Of course Ren Changsheng would not refuse, the two talked for a long time in the study, and finally Cangyuan said goodbye with a smile, while Ren Changsheng looked worried.

"Ancestor, what did he say?" asked Pan Long while practicing.

Ren Changsheng sighed and said, "Di Luonan feels that the Great Xia Dynasty seems to be stable, but in fact there are many problems, he wants to rectify the imperial court, change the law, and reform many old systems and practices. ”

"Huh? He's going to change the law?"

That's right, he just wants to change the law. ”

Pan Long's eyes widened, and a sense of absurdity rose in his heart.
