At this time, in the land of China, literacy and hyphenation were still the patents of a few people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA poor child like Tietou, let alone literacy, is good if he can write his own name.

Hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the world, in addition to envying those cultivators who can call the wind and rain, the most respected are the literate people around them.

The most obvious example is that the people with the highest status in the village are never the richest and most powerful, but those who hold the genealogy and the sacrifices.

Even the village chief had to keep his voice down in front of them.

If you annoy these people, you will finally come to a conclusion: your name cannot be on the genealogy, and your tablet cannot be in the ancestral hall. Then something really happened, and from then on you could only be a lonely ghost.

Because of this, after learning that Lu Yu was literate, Tietou did not look down on Lu Yu because of Lu Yu's weak body, but respected Lu Yu quite much. not only worked for Lu Yu willingly, but also called Lu Yu, who was about the same age as himself, his eldest brother.

Because in Tietou's cognition, a literate person like Lu Yu should be respected, and helping him work by himself is a good thing to win glory.

Even when he begged Lu Yu to teach him to read, Tietou was still quite apprehensive in his heart, for fear that this move would anger Lu Yu.

Fortunately, Lu Yu is not a person who does not repay his kindness. Lu Yu was still quite kind to Tietou, who saved his life, and readily agreed to Tietou's request.

Since then, Tietou came to help Lu Yu in the morning, and after that, Lu Yu taught Tietou to read. After that, Tietou went back to do his own work, and he had to review the knowledge taught by Lu Yu.

Tietou took the branch and wrote on the ground one by one, and looking at the serious expression, he knew that Tietou was quite attentive. And the progress made by Tietou Lu Yu is also quite satisfied.

What Tietou wrote on the ground was not a poem, but a short piece of exercise. This exercise came from the book of the iron head.

On the cover of that book, there were several eye-catching big characters - Dogen Gathering Spirit Scroll.

As can be seen from the name, this is a cultivation technique used by the Daomen during the Gathering of Spirits.

The Spiritual Gathering Period is the first stage on the long road to cultivating truth, and it is also the first threshold. Whether a person has the qualifications to cultivate the truth depends on whether he can successfully gather the spirit and turn the ubiquitous spiritual energy in heaven and earth into his own use.

"Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll" is a book of cultivation exercises issued by the Nine Xuan Palace to many miscellaneous servants. This one is for the iron head.

Although the Jiuxuan Palace divided everyone into several levels at the beginning and let some people do miscellaneous labor, this does not mean that these people have to do miscellaneous labor for the rest of their lives.

In addition to qualifications, the road to cultivation requires diligence. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and a person's good heart is sometimes more important than his qualifications.

Therefore, the Nine Xuan Palace also left a chance for these miscellaneous servants. As long as they can cultivate to the Gathering Spirit Stage by themselves through this "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll", then they can immediately get rid of their status as miscellaneous servants, become the outer disciples of the sect, and complete the transformation of the carp leaping dragon gate.

As we all know, although the miscellaneous servants are also affiliated with the sect, they are always outsiders. Only by becoming an official disciple of the sect will the sect cultivate you as its own.

The gap here is completely between heaven and earth.

The Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll is the most widespread, the most common, and the lowest level of the Dao Sect. The cultivation method is simple and easy to understand, and there are no secrets at all. Not to mention these miscellaneous servants of the sect, they are ordinary people, as long as you are willing to pay a few hundred taels of silver, you can buy a copy.

Therefore, the issuance of the "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll" to the miscellaneous servants has no loss to the Jiuxuan Palace. Even if most of them are lost, it doesn't matter.

If you can unearth a few buried talents because of this, then you will really make money.

Of course, no matter how low-level the exercises are, they are also true cultivation exercises. A miscellaneous servant like Tietou can get a copy, but a waste like Lu Yu who can't even be a miscellaneous servant is impossible.

Even if it's a waste, it can't be so obvious.

It wasn't until Tietou carefully took out the "Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll" for the first time that Lu Yu really recognized the situation he was in. This made Lu Yu really have a feeling of being bullied by dogs in Pingyang.

Damn, if your own body recovers, where can you use this kind of nest qi?

I don't know if Tietou is stupid or his foundation is too poor, this exercise is only about a hundred words, and it took Tietou half a day to write it silently. And looking at the sweaty appearance, it seems to be more tiring than a day's work.

Lu Yu looked down at the words on the ground that the iron head tried to write well but was still crooked, and instead of reprimanding, he nodded.

"Yes, no small progress. The whole text was written silently, and there was not even a single typo. ”

After receiving Lu Yu's praise, Tietou was quite happy, so he smiled and wiped the sweat off his face.

Lu Yu straightened up and looked at Tietou: "You have written down all the exercises silently, do you remember the mystery of this exercise I told you yesterday?"

Tietou nodded hurriedly, and then recited everything Lu Yu said yesterday word by word with a serious expression.

After listening, Lu Yu nodded again.

"Okay, you can memorize it so skillfully, it means that you really worked hard. However, the path of cultivating truth cannot only rely on rote memorization, but more on one's own understanding and perception. I can't help you much in this regard, I can only rely on your own efforts and understanding. ”

Tietou carefully memorized every word Lu Yu said, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"That's right. Lu Yu asked, "What effect do you have if you practice according to the exercises during this time?"

At the mention of this, Tietou's face immediately collapsed, as if he had eaten a hundred catties of Coptis chinensis.

"Don't mention it, Brother Lu. I have been doing what you taught me every day for the past ten days, but it has no effect at all. Sitting like that for a few hours made my back hurt. Are you saying I'm too stupid to learn?"

Listening to Tietou's complaint, Lu Yu smiled disapprovingly.

"No, you think too much. Xiuzhen was originally a path against the sky, and it was difficult and abnormal. If it was really that easy, this world would have been full of immortals. You see a huge Jiuxuan Palace, and there are tens of thousands of miscellaneous servants. But every year, there are only dozens of people who can pass the assessment and prove that they can cultivate the truth. If it is said that it is stupid not to succeed, is it possible that the hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous servants in the Nine Xuan Palace are all fools. ”

"But there are always people who succeed every year, how do they do it?"

"The path to success is fair for everyone, the difference is only how long you can persevere. ”

For the honest iron head, the successive defeats have shaken his confidence. If left unchecked, sooner or later the iron head will be worn out by this boredom and failure. If this is the case, then the iron head can only be an honest handyman from now on.

So Lu Yu decided to enlighten the iron head,

"Tietou, this Dao Yuan Gathering Spirit Scroll is the most common kind of cultivation exercises. The cultivation methods inside are simple and easy to understand, and you can understand every time I explain it to you. Therefore, it is not difficult for you to cultivate according to this exercise, but the difficult thing is how long you can keep cultivating. ”

"Tietou, there are many things in this world that are difficult to succeed, and cultivating truth is precisely the most difficult of these things. You've been in the Nine Xuan Palace for more than a month, so you should have heard of it. There are many seniors in the sect, and in order to work hard to improve their cultivation, they often retreat for a hundred or thousands of years. The boredom and despair in this is simply not something we can imagine. If you really want to follow the path of cultivation, you have to have such faith and determination. ”

"As for the dozens of successful people every year, some of them may be smarter than you, and some of them may be stupider than you. But since they can stand out among more than 100,000 people, they must all be people with firm will and great perseverance. Only such a person can go long on the road of cultivating truth. ”

Lu Yu's words made him dizzy when he heard it.

Tietou felt that Lu Yu's words made sense, but he couldn't say what made sense.

Tietou scratched his head and asked a little embarrassedly, "Brother Lu, what do you mean by saying these words?"

Lu Yu patted Tietou's shoulder and said with a smile: "What I mean is very simple. If you really want to follow the path of cultivation, then you have the confidence that you will succeed. If you don't want to take this path, then throw this exercise aside as soon as possible and do your chores steadily. I'll teach you something more practical too. ”

As soon as he heard this, Tietou immediately became a little anxious: "Who doesn't want to, of course I want to take the road of cultivation." I want to be like the legendary immortals, flying around in the sky, at ease. In this way, you can not only get ahead, but also glorify your ancestors. ”

"Since you have such a dream, then what else to say, just look up and move forward. ”

As soon as he said this, Tietou was a little deflated: "But I'm really afraid that I won't be able to do it?"

"What's there to be afraid of! There's nothing in this world that can't be done. If you can't do it once, twice, twice, three times, and if it doesn't work, you can try ten, hundred, or a thousand times. If someone else can do it, why can't you? Are you missing an arm than others, or are you sick more than others? Even a waste person like me has a lot of people who want to cultivate the truth, and you can't be worse than them. As long as you treat cultivation as important as eating every day, then you will definitely succeed. ”

Lu Yu's encouragement made Tietou's eyes light up, and he said excitedly: "Brother Lu, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, did you see that I lied to you?"

"No, no, of course not. Tietou shook his head again and again: "Brother Lu is a good person, he treats me as a brother, and he has taught me a lot of things." How could you lie to me. ”

"That's the end of it. As long as you believe me, do as I say. You will succeed in the future. ”

"Okay, Brother Lu. I listen to you. ”

Iron Head nodded excitedly.
