Chapter 38: Transcending Yourself
Ai took Xiao Ming around Turtle Island and left, after all, he was the leader of the Yeyue clan and had a lot to deal with. Turtle Island is the secret realm of the Yeyue clan, and it has always been guarded, and Xiao Ming doesn't have to be afraid of anything he doesn't understand on Turtle Island.
"Master Ming, Lord Ai said that the team to help you cultivate will arrive in three days, ask me if you don't understand anything!" An elderly ninja with dark skin and gray hair said.
"Grandpa Lida, you don't have to be so polite, you can just call me Xiao Ming." Xiao Ming hurriedly said.
"......," the old man shook his head wordlessly. He had been on Turtle Island for decades and knew that the ninja who cultivated Thor's armor was the next generation of Ai. Ai, the position in his heart is exalted.
"Then please take me to the real waterfall!" Xiao Ming was not reluctant to see this. He has some ideas about the real waterfall, and if that idea is successful, his cultivation will be equivalent to opening a hanging.
The old man did not speak, turned and left. The old man's steps were steady, his breath was long, his physical strength was abundant, and he moved from one towering tree to another without any effort.
After a while, the real waterfall is a small waterfall about four or five meters wide, with a small river below.
The old man pointed to the waterfall and said, "This is the real waterfall, after entering it, there will be a doppelganger whose strength is exactly the same as the main body, formed by the dark side of his heart." And if your strength increases a little, this doppelganger will also improve a little, so no one has ever been able to defeat the dark side of their heart. ”
"The dark side? The road is one foot high, and the demon is one foot high, and how many people can really surrender to such a thing as a demon in the heart? Hearing this, Xiao Ming thought in his heart.
He is not here to surrender the so-called darkness in his heart, but to test his idea.
Hmm~ Without any hesitation, Xiao Ming jumped into the real waterfall.
Seeing this, ......the old man Dali did not speak, did not have too many expressions, but silently took out some bandages, hemostatic medicine and other things from the scroll.
More than an hour later...
"Haha! Hahaha! My conjecture is true, my conjecture is true. Xiao Ming, who was covered in blood and had wounds everywhere, laughed and rushed out, as if he had been hit by five million.
"Psychic."
With a bang, the clone of the slug immortal came out to heal him, and Xiao Ming still smiled stupidly.
"......" Old man Dali shook his head, secretly saying that he was really old and didn't understand the thoughts of young people at all.
'The ancients, with copper as a mirror, can be dressed properly, with history as a mirror, can know the rise and fall, with people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Xiao Ming thought to himself.
'What about using oneself as a mirror?' What can you do with yourself as a mirror? ’
'You can surpass yourself by using yourself as a mirror!' ’
As the saying goes, people are self-aware. It is difficult for a person to know his own shortcomings. Personality, behavior habits, and even the way of speaking, the way of doing things, etc.
What does a person do if they are aware of their own shortcomings?
Generally speaking, it is to change or not to change. So what happens if it is changed?
First of all, we have to make sure that there is no perfect person in this world, because everyone has his shortcomings.
That is to say, the closer a person will be to perfection if he gets rid of his shortcomings and constantly surpasses himself.
And what about this real waterfall?
It is a magical being that can replicate its own strength. Fighting against the clones inside is like fighting with yourself. You can find out what shortcomings you have in your own moves and tactics, and then change these shortcomings, isn't it just more and more perfect? Is it getting stronger?
Solving a problem may not be a problem in many cases, but the problem is that you can't spot the problem. The real waterfall is a bug that constantly makes you discover your own problems, and that's just an artifact-like existence!
Constantly discover the shortcomings of the self, constantly improve, constantly surpass the self, and continue to make progress. This is also the reason why Xiao Ming is so happy.
Who would dare to say that their moves must be perfect? Under a real waterfall, it can bring your moves infinitely closer to perfection.
For three days, Xiao Ming never left the real waterfall. In addition to eating and sleeping, it is to fight with the clones inside, and if you are injured, you will summon the slug immortal to heal, and then continue to fight, find your own shortcomings, and improve your own shortcomings. In three days, Xiao Ming felt that his strength had improved a lot.
Three days later, the team that helped him cultivate came.
"Grand Elder Luxi, why are you here in person?" Xiao Ming looked at the sturdy old man in front of him and said in surprise.
"Old! It's okay to stay in the clan with an old bone, so I'm here to help our strongest genius in the ninja world cultivate. Grand Elder Luxi quipped with a smile.
"Thank you so much for helping me cultivate." Xiao Ming bowed deeply and said.
Thor's armor needs to cooperate with the ninjutsu of the Night Moon clan to reach its limit. Ai is too busy to mentor him. With the guidance of Grand Elder Lu Xi, the previous generation of Ai, Xiao Ming can take many detours.
"As long as you work hard to cultivate, leading our Night Moon Clan to be more prosperous in the future, it is the greatest thank you to me." The old man patted Xiao Ming's shoulder and said. At his age, he only has the interests of the Yeyue clan in his eyes.
"I will." Xiao Ming said firmly.
Life is not always full of passion, in fact, it is often boring most of the time. Whether a person can succeed or not, persistence is a big factor, and if you want to persevere, you must endure loneliness.
Three minutes on stage, ten years off the stage, what is said is persistence.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, only now to try the edge; After ten years of sharpening the sword, Taishan did not dare to be.
Persistence will never betray oneself.
The years of cultivation on Turtle Island passed in a flash, and it took two years and ten hours of high-intensity cultivation every day, and Xiao Ming finally completed the cultivation of the first layer of the Thunder God Armor. His chakra development has finally reached 100 percent, and the quality has reached the point of substance.
"Genius, you are really a genius from the heavens that gave me the Night Moon Clan. I've never seen the clansmen of my Night Moon clan have such a huge amount of chakra, maybe you can really cultivate the Thunder God Armor to the third level, or even surpass it. Grand Elder Lu Xi looked at Xiao Ming, who was flickering with electric arcs all over his body, and said in disbelief.
"Next is the second layer of the cultivation of the Thunder God Armor, which strengthens the physical body. I can finally use what I know, and the development of that technique can begin. Xiao Ming clenched his fists and said secretly.
"Xiao Ming, you are too good." Grand Elder Lu Xi looked at Xiao Ming and couldn't help but admire: "Not only in terms of cultivation talent, but also in your advanced consciousness. You're advocating the use of ninjas for production, but this time you've slapped them in the face! I wonder what you've got in your head? ”
"Abber, they're just not able to accept the idea of ninjas doing production for the time being. I'm sure I'm looking out for the good of the Nightmoon Clan, and they'll understand me. Xiao Ming shook his head when he heard this.
In the past two years, he has spent most of his time cultivating on Turtle Island, but he is not ignorant of things in the outside world. There are slugs and immortal clones as wireless telephones, and there are know-it-alls and thief eyebrows to collect and sort out information, as well as some powerful ninjas such as Fujita Dazhuang to do things for Bai Xiaotang in the ninja world, and now Bai Xiaotang is becoming more and more famous in the ninja world, and Xiao Ming has also raised a lot of funds.
A year ago, he had planted the two chess pieces of the golden horn and the silver horn to play a role, and in the course of a year, he had recruited more than 20 children with the talent of cultivating chakra in the orphanage.
These children have all refined chakra, and Xiao Ming has trained them. There is no need to teach them any advanced attack ninjutsu, but some simple and easy-to-master auxiliary ninjutsu, whose role is mainly to transform the combat power of ninjas into productivity.
When he put forward the idea of allowing this group of children to build roads, farm, build ships, and fish to increase the income of the Yeyue clan, he was almost opposed by the Yeyue clan. Even Mai and Ai were furious, unable to understand Xiao Ming's thoughts, and educated Xiao Ming one by one and persuaded him to let go of this idea.
At the critical moment, Grand Elder Lu Xi spoke. At that time, he had been with Xiao Ming for a year, knew Xiao Ming a little, and had deep hopes for Xiao Ming. He offered to let Xiao Ming experiment for a year, and if he could get the approval of the Yeyue clan, he would support his approach. If you can't get it, you have to abandon the idea.
At that time, everyone was not optimistic about Xiao Ming. But what about the facts? More than 20 children of seven or eight years old are not even considered to be shinobi. It took them a year to farm, build roads, and fight fish, and the benefits brought by them were actually comparable to the same amount of one-year task remuneration.
Interests, naked interests, were placed in front of the Yeyue clan, and all the high-level leaders were silent.
On one side is a seven- or eight-year-old child, and on the other side is a well-trained Shinobi.
On the one hand, they risk their lives to do tasks; Although it is bitter and tiring on the one hand, there is hardly any risk factor. And the benefits brought by the two, or the money earned, are comparable. Everyone knows which one to choose.
"The people's thinking is that it will not change for a while, and young people are always full of enthusiasm and unwilling to be ordinary. But I'm sure one day they'll understand what you're doing. Great Elder Lu Xi looked at Xiao Mingdao.
The older generation of ninjas saw the benefits of Xiao Ming's decision to 'engage in production as ninjas', and most of them recognized Xiao Ming. And what about the younger generation?
They don't approve of Xiao Ming's approach at all, even if their interests are current. For them, fighting is the fate of ninjas, as long as there is a bite to eat, the only thing left is to fight, and they don't care what interests are not interested.
The glory of ninjas, they see it more than life. What the? You let me go to farm the land? You're a monkey, aren't you?
But they didn't think about what old people ate. What does the child eat? What do the ninjas who are no longer able to fight eat? Can glory be eaten for dinner?
"Is it okay to select some children from among the commoners who have the talent to cultivate chakra and train them to engage in production?" Xiao Ming looked at Grand Elder Lu Xi and asked.
"......" Grand Elder Luxi was silent for a moment, then finally shook his head.
"Alas..."Seeing this, Xiao Ming sighed. The portals between the ninjas are particularly deep. Let the cultivation methods of ninjutsu and chakra be passed on to foreigners, which is almost unacceptable to the ninja family in the entire ninja world. Whoever does this is a great rebellion, almost equivalent to judging the clan.
Even in the later ninja village era, civilian ninjas could only learn the three-body technique and some basic knowledge in the ninja school, and most of the time they were just cannon fodder.
"You're a good boy. There are some things that you can't rush, take your time, and one day the people will approve of you. Seeing this, Grand Elder Lu Xi encouraged Xiao Ming.
"Hmm!" Xiao Ming nodded helplessly. If he wants to inherit Ai's position, he can't go against the will of his clansmen.
But the Night Moon clan, and even the ninjas of the entire ninja world are stubborn and can't eat the ancients, and he can't do anything about it. Just like during the Qing government, Cixi and others saw a train crossing the tracks. The first thought was that this thing was too loud and hurtful.
How sad it is, it's helpless to go!
