Chapter 33: The Root Technique
The Law Enforcement Academy, located on the easternmost side of the back mountain, happens to be in two directions from where the disciples of the academy stay.
I have long heard of the majesty and severity of the Law Enforcement Institute, and even in the precautions for admission, it is also strict, and the place of law enforcement must not be arbitrary, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
The Law Enforcement Agency, responsible for maintaining the order and safety of the entire academy, supervising all disorderly and evil behaviors, the people here are absolutely iron-faced and selfless, once you touch the bottom line of the rules, there is absolutely no emotion at all. Similarly, this also means that the Law Enforcement Agency must have sufficient strength and deterrence in the academy. In other words, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Academy must meet certain standards within this entire academy before they can be recruited.
I don't know what kind of mood he came here with, scared, hopeful, and the words that the old man said to him still echoed in his mind after seeing that his spiritual power perception was zero, giving him such a faint glimmer of hope. Shaking his fist, Lu Chen strengthened his confidence, the old man was right, the opportunity to practice is to be fought for by himself.
The Law Enforcement Yuan said that it was a courtyard, but in fact, it was several dark red low flat palaces connected together, occupying hundreds of zhang in circumference. The main hall of the Law Enforcement Courtyard was built in the center, and without looking for it, Lu Chen could identify it at a glance, the majestic palace with the aura of a forest.
The law enforcement courtyard building is unattended, and there is no need to take care of it, and few people dare to make trouble in front of the law enforcement institute, unless they are impatient, and those who have the courage to do so should now be detained by the law enforcement institute and locked up in the college's unique confinement building, which is not pleasant.
Lu Chen did not hesitate, and walked straight to the main hall of the Law Enforcement Academy, and at the door, there were law enforcement disciples in black armor patrolling and handing over the grounds in charge of the academy, and passed in front of Lu Chen with an expressionless face.
After seeing Lu Chen, someone immediately stepped forward with a serious expression and asked, "Where the Law Enforcement Institute is located, outsiders are not allowed to enter, where are you a disciple, don't you know the rules, what are you doing here?"
The man wrapped in black armor had a pair of eyes staring at Lu Chen, full of questioning.
When Lu Chen heard this, he glanced at the man in front of him, the man's figure was slightly taller than him, and he looked quite condescending and questioning.
Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to these, at this moment, he just wanted to see that Gongsun Master as soon as possible, arched his hand, and Lu Chen quickly explained his intention.
"Coming to Elder Gongsun?" When the man heard this name, his eyes suddenly changed, and a look of horror flashed, as if this name had some inexplicable deterrent power in this place.
"Could it be that you are the freshman who has zero spiritual power perception?" The man also seemed to know something, and after looking Lu Chen up and down with his eyes, he asked in surprise.
After hearing this, Lu Chen was also stunned, he didn't expect that his name had already been passed here, with a touch of helplessness on his face, Lu Chen nodded towards the man.
The man confirmed the answer in his heart, asked Lu Chen to stand at the door and wait for a while, then turned around and walked into the dark red palace, it should be in to report.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, the man's figure reappeared at the door, beckoned to Lu Chen, motioned for him to go in by himself, and then left Lu Chen in place, and turned to leave.
Lu Chen stood at the door of the hall, exhaled lightly, his clear eyes suddenly became firm, and he pushed open the door of the hall.
The light in the inner hall was a little dim, and the four dark golden pillars in the center of the hall were carved with strange patterns, which Lu Chen recognized, they were spirit patterns. Under the convergence of spirit patterns, something seems to be formed, and there is an inexplicable deterrent force. In the flow room, there were white gas swirling, and then, in Lu Chen's shocked gaze, a fierce tiger pattern with a pair of wings appeared, fierce and vicious, roaring in the air.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's face was a little pale, and he subconsciously stepped back.
Roar!
Suddenly, Xiao Bai, who had been sleeping in Lu Chen's pocket, seemed to hear something, poked his head out of his pocket, and let out a low roar at the image, full of threat.
This little guy, I don't know when he started, became particularly lethargic. It may be that not long ago, after Lu Chen fed it the remaining "eggshell" stock, the little guy fell into a deep sleep, and Lu Chen, who didn't know the specific reason, couldn't figure it out, and after confirming that it was not in danger, he knitted a small cloth bag for it to hang on his body and give it a nest, in case he accidentally lost the little guy.
After Xiao Bai heard the voice, he climbed onto Lu Chen's shoulder, as if he had been provoked, his eyes stared at the mass of spirit patterns in front of him, and let out a roar.
"Hey, this little guy's bloodline seems to be a little extraordinary. Under the coercion of Qiqi, he still has the strength and courage to resist. Although this poor spirit pattern is only a defective product. When Lu Chen's heart shook, an old voice suddenly came from above the lobby, and there was a hint of surprise in his words.
Hearing this voice, Lu Chen hurriedly turned his head, only to see a figure slowly walking down from the hall, it was Gongsun Yang, who accepted him as a registered disciple.
When Lu Chen saw Gongsun Yang, his face suddenly showed a touch of respect and gratitude, it was the old man in front of him who stretched out his hand and pulled him when he was in deep despair, giving him the opportunity to practice with him, which made him rekindle his confidence, Lu Chen bowed down and saluted solemnly: "Disciple Lu Chen, I have seen Master!"
When the old man saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Lu Chen and nodded, and then raised his hand, Lu Chen only felt a force that came out of thin air to hold up his bowed body.
"Are you scared when you see this fierce beast pattern? Do you know what it is?" The old man put his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at the roaring fierce tiger on the pillar, looked at Lu Chen again, and spoke.
Lu Chen didn't speak, it was undeniable that when he first saw this strange scene, he was still a little frightened in his heart.
But after relieving himself, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile, "Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of, and you won't be frightened by a dead thing." “
When the old man heard this, he nodded secretly and continued,
"The lines on these pillars and beams, called spirit patterns, can communicate the power between heaven and earth, and are the means of true practitioners. As for this fierce tiger, it is engraved with the ancient fierce beast Qiqi, which is extremely powerful, but here, it is only a remnant spirit pattern, and it is 108,000 miles away from the real Qiqi fierce beast. ”
"On the path of cultivation, the mind is very important, and the path of cultivation is very long, and no one dares to say that they have seen the end point, and of course there may be. Cultivation is never smooth, and from the moment you embark on this path, you are destined to face many difficulties and obstacles, and you must have a firm Dao heart to go far. ”
"It's like in the face of this fierce beast, can you keep your inner turmoil and not afraid? The real strong man is not afraid of any setbacks and tribulations, even in the face of monstrous fear, he can maintain his true heart unshaken. ”
"Before you, I took in three disciples, and the tasks and tests given to them were not completed, and they still lacked something. As for you, temporarily accepting you as a registered disciple can be regarded as a test, whether you can become my real disciple or not, everything depends on yourself. ”
The old man's faint words floated in the air, unusually clear and clear, Lu Chen condensed, lowered his head and firmly remembered the words in his heart.
"Do you know why you don't have a spiritual root, but I still want to accept you as a registered disciple?" After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly changed his words, looked at Lu Chen and asked.
Lu Chen's eyes turned, remembering the scene of the entrance assessment at the beginning, to say that he is a genius, with a physical body and spiritual power, but he obviously has no spiritual power perception, and it is not bad to say that he is a waste. If there were any other factors, Lu Chen really couldn't imagine for a while that there was anything on his body that could be taken by the old man. Could it be that the old man has developed pity for himself? But the answer is obviously not this.
Lu Chen lowered his head and replied, asking the doubts in his heart: "The disciple is stupid, please ask the master to solve the doubts." ”
The old man smiled, shook his head and said, "You are not stupid, your physical body and spiritual power are all super-talented, even I have never seen it." Of course, I don't deny it, this is also a very important factor in my choice of you, you have this talent foundation. But all of this doesn't matter in the context of your zero spiritual perception, so what do I value about you?"
"It's not because of pity, that kind of thing, it's the least valuable. What is that, it's resilience, I've been observing you throughout your assessment, your performance under the Nian Shen Crystal, your performance in the physical strength test, and even the final spiritual power test. In you, I see two words - tenacity, like a weed. Although the weeds are small, they also have the tenacity of the spring breeze that cannot be burned, and the resilience of not hitting the south wall and not looking back. ”
"Even in the final level of spiritual power assessment, under the despair you showed, in your heart, I still saw a tenacity and perseverance, and a kind of unwillingness. You are unwilling, unwilling to be unwilling to the path set for you by heaven and earth, and unwilling to why you can't practice. There is a kind of rebellious resilience in you. Maybe without the reminder I gave you at that moment, you could have come out of that state of mind by yourself, but the way and place may be different. ”
Lu Chen's heart shook slightly, and he smiled bitterly, maybe he didn't even notice it, has he become tough?
His original wish, just don't want to be so lonely and weak to live, until he met the old man of the unicorn, he felt that his life saw a ray of light, at this time, he only hopes that he can have the strength to control his future direction, even if it is the next day after getting up, is in the environment he wants, walking on the road he wants.
At the very least, don't live too badly.
The moment he learned that his spiritual power perception was zero, Lu Chen really felt that the sky was about to fall, and at that moment, it was as if he had returned to the sad night when Ah Jiu Ye left, and the feeling of having nothing enveloped him like a nightmare, overwhelming him.
However, in the bottom of his heart, he knew that he would not give up, he did not have the courage and qualifications to give up, Ah Jiu Ye gave him expectations, and the old man of Qilin planted a seed for him to go crazy and breed towards the future. No matter what the road ahead, he always has to go through it, and if he doesn't try, how can he know the result?
After clarifying his heart, Lu Chen showed a soft smile, and the thoughts in his heart suddenly became more accessible.
Gongsun Yang has been carefully observing Lu Chen's performance, and the moment he saw him smiling, he also nodded with relief, and recruited him in an exception.
"Lu Chen. ”
"The disciple is here. ”
"When you are able to step into the realm of gathering qi, I will accept you as my official disciple. ”
When Lu Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, he thought of something, and then he turned his head trembling in disbelief, and looked at the old man excitedly, "Master, what do you mean... Does that mean I still have a way to practice Qi Gathering?"
Gongsun Yang looked at Lu Chen, who had a touch of hope in his dark eyes, his face flashed with a tentative light, the old man smiled and nodded, but then he became serious again, "There is a way, but it will not be simple." ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen's face showed a touch of ecstasy, and the next moment, tears seemed to be uncontrollable welling up, the grievances suffered along the way, the unwillingness over the years, and the angry fist swinging in countless nights, as if they were going to vent at this moment. The scenes of all these years glided in front of him, making Lu Chen's emotions instantly uncontrollable.
sighed softly, obviously the old man also knew that Lu Chen's experience over the years would not be simple, but he was also a poor child.
The old man didn't speak, just waited for the landing dust.
After a while, Lu Chen's mood gradually calmed down after the excitement, and he raised his head gratefully, revealing his immature and delicate face, and his eyes flashed with firmness that did not match his age.
Gongsun Yang's words were obviously not finished, he looked at the recovered Lu Chen, and continued: "There is a way, as for where it came from, here we have to talk about our first generation of dean, a legendary figure, a genius of the heavens, who has cultivated to be extremely powerful, famous in the Rain Country, and has left Chuang Tuo a long time ago to pursue his own path of cultivation. When the old man talked about this dean, his face was also full of respect.
"This method that allows you to step into cultivation, called the Source Root Technique, was created by the dean for his wife, the dean's wife is named Yu Leyi, and she is the daughter of a prince of the rain royal family. However, this woman was born with no pulse, her spiritual roots were closed, and she couldn't feel spiritual power since she was a child, and she became an ordinary mortal lord of the princely family. Until we met our dean, the dean at that time, was already one of the best among the cultivators of the rain country, and his cultivation reached the pinnacle, as soon as the two met, it was love at first sight, and the dean learned about the cultivation problems of his loved one, and ran all over Qingzhou for him, looking for medicine everywhere, and visiting the masters. ”
After going through many difficulties and dangers and countless failures, the dean created this "Source Root Technique" with peerless resources - integrating the origin of heaven and earth in the body, starting a new stove, and smelting the spiritual root, so that people who do not have spiritual power perception can enter the cultivation journey. ”
In an instant, Lu Chen seemed to see a generation of talents, running around for the people he loved, just to find a way to save the suffering, and he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of admiration in his heart.
"It's just that, with this technique, it's not so simple to reforge the spiritual root, and the dean's wife, in the end, is still a little bit worse, hey. But just when Lu Chen fell into a deep longing, there was a faint voice from the old man's mouth, hiding regret and helplessness.
