Volume 1 The Scholar and the Sword Chapter 8 Choice
One thing to say, from another point of view, Shen Shuo is still very "immortal".
After all, although it does not have the immortal wind Dao bone that Qin Zi imagined at the beginning, it can also be regarded as free and uninhibited, and belongs to the image of a master in the game world.
But now, Qin Zi really doesn't feel that this guy looks like a master at all.
Because just now, when everyone's atmosphere was heavy, the old man actually began to cry.
。。。
Yes, you heard it right, this old man cried, just now, maybe the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and finally made himself cry.
And look at this momentum, ho ~ consume fakes, this is not endless.
The most important thing is that although everyone's atmosphere was relatively heavy, you made it cry directly all of a sudden, and the two of them were watching from the side, which was really embarrassing.
On the contrary, it is Shen Shuo himself, who is thick-skinned, as long as I am not embarrassed, it is you who are embarrassed.
But then again, there are really not many people who can cry in front of their juniors and look up to the sky and howl, maybe this is the recklessness of the masters.
……
In the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, several elder disciples of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion heard the cry of Elder Shen that they were familiar with, but they were not surprised.
"Okay, what should you do, you don't know who Elder Shen is, maybe he has figured out some problem, and he is a little excited." At this time, an elder hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, yes, Elder Shen has a casual and natural temperament, and this is not the first time this has happened."
"That's right, I remember when I first came to our line, I saw that Elder Shen almost demolished the Scripture Pavilion."
As soon as they thought of Elder Shen's appearance back then, everyone couldn't help but shudder, quickly diverted the topic, and continued with the matter at hand.
……
On the other side, Shen Shuo finally stopped a little, just sniffing from time to time, indicating that he had just fought a battle.
At this time, Ning Muxue finally seized the opportunity and spoke.
"Although this matter has not been confirmed, it is extremely important, and I suggest that it be reported to the sect master as soon as possible, and the sect master will decide personally."
Shen Shuo didn't care:
"Although this matter is important, it is not a matter of a day or two, and it is okay to delay for a while. Besides, the sect master is still half-step now, and he can't come in a hurry. It's Ah Zi's matter, which has just been interrupted, so let's continue now. ”
Shen Shuo is also really strange, he just cried as if he was going to die, and now he actually changed back to his original state, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ning Muxue originally came for Qin Zi, although the harvest this time was huge, but the business was not settled, so there was no opinion at this time.
As for Qin Zi, he didn't have any opinions.
However, he actually understood that Shen Shuo proposed to study his own affairs first at this time, not just caring about himself.
Because on the other hand, a person like Qin Zi, who is naturally complete in Qi Fu, will be of great help to them in researching new exercises.
Correspondingly, Shen Shuo's address to him was also changed to the more intimate "Ah Zi".
People like them are like that, although they don't deliberately take advantage of other people, they are willing to give others the corresponding kindness.
And it was the seemingly snobbish and humane style of the Luo Jian Sect that left a deep imprint on the young Qin Zi's heart, and subtly affected his style of doing things.
……
"Well, since you don't have any opinions, I'll continue
We now guess that Ah Zi's Qi Mansion has been stabilized, so the step of opening up the Qi Mansion is omitted.
But now the problem is back to the original point, that is, Ah Zi's body can't find the spiritual root, and the spiritual energy can't be refined. ”
"Then Elder Shen, do you have a solution?" Ning Muxue didn't notice it herself, she was a little excited now.
Thinking about it, she was originally less than thirty this year, plus she didn't know the years of long-term practice on the mountain, she didn't ask about the world, and her heart was no different from that of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.
In fact, the sect master unusually promoted her to be the elder of the outer sect, in addition to giving her "qualifications", but also the idea of practicing her temperament.
The sect master's idea is indeed effective, at least with her own deliberate efforts, she has become more mature, but when she encounters today's big twists and turns in her state of mind, it is inevitable that she will be a little broken.
Elder Shen glanced at her angrily and sneered:
"You Ning girl, almost thirty years old, and you're still so hairy and frizzy, didn't you listen to what I was about to say?"
Hearing this, Ning Muxue exploded instantly.
Although she is indeed almost thirty years old, how can she say this?
She has not been cultivating in the mountain for a long time, and she has not experienced the baptism of values that can still be called a fairy thousands of years older, and she is more sensitive to the age of mortals at this time.
However, Elder Shen's words still made her not easy to attack, and she could only stare at this disrespectful guy with hatred.
"Ahem, if you want to ask me if I have a solution, what about the old man, naturally I don't.
Azi I have never encountered this situation in my life, how can there be a solution?
Actually, if it's an ordinary person, even if he doesn't have a spiritual root, I can help him get one.
But now he seems to have no spiritual root, but he can channel qi into the body, but he can't refine it yet, what do you tell me to do? ”
Shen Shuo may be really heartless, he still looked like a ghost just now, and now he can shake his head and talk about it, but what he said is still very reasonable.
Qin Zi's current situation is between mortal and monk qualifications, which is very strange, even Shen Shuo does not have a very good solution.
"But what, old man, I still have something to tell you, do you want to hear it?"
Having said that, in fact, he didn't ask Qin Zi at all, he didn't even look at him, he was completely talking to himself in the air, and he didn't wait for Qin Zi to answer, so he continued:
"It's naturally impossible for you to cultivate now, after all, no matter how big your formed qi is, there must still be a limit, and one day, the aura inside will be full, and then you will be 'full'.
At that time, even if you even conduct qi into your body, it will be a great burden on your body! ”
Speaking of this, he was finally willing to turn his noble head to look at Qin Zi.
"So at this point you have two options.
One is to stop cultivating and switch to martial arts.
Martial arts prevail in the mortal world, but most of the so-called Jianghu people have achieved mediocre achievements, and only a small number of people can break through to the innate realm.
The martial artists of the Innate Realm can channel qi into the body, and the killing power is extremely great, and the ordinary foundation building monks are not opponents at all, and even the Jindan monks are difficult to defeat the masters.
There are also some of these people who are extremely talented, and at the same time, they have great perseverance, and they can break through the limits of the mortal body and refine them into a martial pill.
This martial arts pill is similar to the principle of the golden pill, but the gap is not ordinarily large.
Jin Dan is usually solidified with spiritual energy, and then refined by some mysterious means.
But that martial arts, in addition to aura, also has the power of qi and blood that a martial artist brings.
This power of qi and blood is also available to ordinary martial artists, but it is difficult to get out of the body.
When you reach a strong Wudan, you can leave your body with qi and blood, urging you to fight the enemy. This method of manipulation is similar to that of the aura, but the lethality is far greater than that of ordinary monks.
For this kind of martial artist, even the Yuanying monks dare not be careless, and they will be planted in their hands if they are not careful.
Of course, although the martial arts are extremely powerful, the cultivation of immortals is not bad, and both have their own weights.
Martial Dao gravity, while Immortal Dao is more in the supernatural.
It's a pity that the path of martial arts is cut off here.
Now that I think about it, since there are people in the Immortal Road who are calculating, there is no reason why the martial arts are not ......."
As soon as Shen Shuo mentioned martial arts, he said it with relish, and his spit flew everywhere.
He is also a strange person in the end, ordinary monks are extremely shameless when they mention martial arts, but he praises it, and even calls the predecessors who opened up martial arts "great talents in the world".
He even dared to threaten to say that the martial artist "should be side by side with sword cultivation, and be the most lethal in the world!" ”
Speaking of this, he didn't hear Ying He's voice, he felt a little unaccustomed, and then he thought that he was not lecturing to his disciples now, so naturally no one echoed him.
It made him a little uncomfortable. Turning his head to look, he found that although Qin Zi listened seriously, he was not at all fascinated, and Ning Muxue on the side frowned even more, as if he was afraid that he would lead his precious nephew into this "wrong way".
"What's the matter, Ning girl? Let me tell you, don't look down on martial arts, now a martial arts powerhouse may be able to beat you! ”
Ning Muxue was already angry, but when she heard this, she ignored him, turned her head and said to Qin Zi:
"Ah Zi, this martial art is said to have been created by imitating the demon clan's method of exercising the body, although it is extremely powerful, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it must be a person with great perseverance and great understanding.
Many monks feel that they have a superb vision, and they can 'achieve martial arts attainment' by practicing casually, but when they find that their power is mediocre, they are demoted to the mortal realm, but in fact, their martial arts understanding is not enough.
It can be said that the martial arts road and the immortal cultivation road are two completely different paths, and there is almost no possibility of double cultivation.
If you want to choose Martial Dao Aunt Ning, you will naturally not stop it, but you have to keep persevering, if you retreat halfway, it will be impossible to change the immortal path.
Don't end up making yourself too bad at martial arts, and you can't cultivate immortals. ”
Hearing this, Qin Zi thought carefully for a moment and replied seriously:
"Aunt Ning, I know, let's see what is the other option first? If I really want to choose martial arts in the future, I will definitely not back down! ”
Ning Muxue looked at the child's serious face, feeling a little funny and a little sad.
At this time, the ordinary child is still in the arms of his parents, and he has to think about his future, and he doesn't know where the child's future is......
Elder Shen waited for their conversation to end before continuing:
"As for the other path, that is the 'Immortal Cultivation Road'!"
Elder Shen's words were like a nonsense, but it still made the other two people can't help but think about the meaning.
"Hehe, the 'Immortal Cultivation Road' I am talking about is not what you think of cultivating the Immortal Path.
When I talk about cultivating an immortal road, I mean you build an immortal road by yourself! ”
Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became serious, and he said respectfully:
"In ancient times, there was no cultivation method in the world, and some races were inherently strong, so they became the masters of the world.
At that time, our human race was only a very weak race among all races, and it was only later that human beings were innate spirits, and there was nothing special about human race at that time.
But there are several great men in our human race.
They have the talent to endure the heavens and the earth, and they also have the will to persevere.
These people have opened up several cultivation paths belonging to our human race by observing the laws of natural change and learning from those innate and powerful races, and our current martial arts and immortal paths were created at that time.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the deeds of these ancestors that we have the current prosperity of the human race.
On the other hand, the demon clan is born with a very strong physical body, and has all kinds of supernatural bloodline talents, but they don't want to forge ahead.
When the ancestors of our human race learned the principles of their supernatural powers and deduced various magical powers, the status of the demon race was quickly replaced by our human race, and since then it has been in a slump, and it has not been until recent years that there are some cultivation methods inherited......
Therefore, there is no road in this world, and all roads are made by people.
Now, you Qin Zi can't see the way forward, your second choice is to follow those ancestors and great people and carve out a path by yourself! ”
"I can tell you that your path is bound to be extremely difficult. Back then, those ancestors had been crawling in the dark for countless years, and after several generations of hard work, they were able to deduce a very rough path of cultivation. It wasn't until later that a saint was born that he truly brought perfect cultivation to the human race.
And you have to start from scratch today and rely on your own efforts to deduce. At this point, I won't help you, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't, it can be said that your only advantage over those ancestors is that any book in this scripture pavilion, as long as you can read it, you can read it as you like, and the door of my scripture pavilion will always be open for you! ”
Speaking of this, Shen Shuo himself was already very excited, and when he looked at Qin Zi again, he found that he was even panting for breath with excitement. On the contrary, Ning Muxue was a little skeptical.
"Elder Shen, since you asked him to open up his own path, why didn't you want to teach him?"
"That's what my teachers did to me when I was a student.
Now that the foundation of my life's learning has been laid, my husband has already made it clear that the end of my learning can only be the fourth erudition of ancient and modern times. If I teach you, it will only be a 'little Shen Shuo' who is not even as good as me, how can I be worthy of this great cause that opens the world? ”
If this sentence is heard by others, it will be a big surprise. You must know that Shen Shuo is recognized by the entire immortal cultivation world, a person with great wisdom who is rare in ten thousand years, but in his own place, it seems that he himself is nothing.
"Of course, Ah Zi, if you want me to teach you, I won't refuse, with my level, it's not a problem to initially deduce a path for you, but I'm just a god cultivator now, and the apex of this path may be Yuanying.
Then adding this one is three choices, I ask you, which one do you want to choose now? ”
Qin Zi didn't answer his question, but instead asked:
"My father once told me that if you don't have a solid foundation, you can't innovate with a lot of ideas. I can read and study on my own, but if I have any questions, can I ask the elders? ”
Of course, he would not hesitate to choose what Qin Zi would choose.
If you choose the second way, you can not only enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion casually, but also enjoy the feeling of pioneering and innovative, what else is there to hesitate about?
If you choose a stable path and barely hang your life, that kind of life, even if you get immortality, it is not what you want!
Moreover, Elder Shen felt that he only had one advantage, in fact, he knew best that he also had another advantage, and that was the Spirit Domain.
In the spiritual realm, you can comprehend what you have learned.
He has such self-confidence, relying on the Spirit Domain to quickly learn knowledge, and then use his own ideas to innovate, he will definitely be able to open up a broad road!
Shen Shuo laughed happily when he heard his answer, his eyes full of appreciation for Qin Zi.
"Hahaha, okay, but not to ask me for advice, but to discuss with me!"
Hearing what Elder Shen said, Qin Zi also smiled happily.
Aunt Ning on the side could see that this was a kind of joy that could only be felt when she met something she really liked. Ning Muxue didn't know what this liking was for, whether it was learning knowledge and innovation, or practicing immortality, or both......
However, Qin Zi's current state is always good, at least much better than he expected.
At this time, although his cultivation is hopeless for the time being, and it is even very likely that he will not achieve anything in his life, who can know what will happen at that time? At least for now, he's so happy.
At least there was hope, Ning Muxue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, since you have a choice, then go to the sect hall first to officially worship my Falling Sword Sect! I'll go to the sect master and report what just happened. ”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and sent the two of them, one older and one younger, out of the door.
Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Qin Zi and Ning Muxue glanced at each other, both of them were a little helpless, this Elder Shen is good, but his temperament is too weird.
"Ah Zi, let's go to the sect hall to worship the mountain!"
……
In the Scripture Pavilion, Shen Shuo sensed that the two had left, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
This kid seems to like to read, but I'm afraid it's more than that. With his almost demonic obsession, would he make a decision so quickly for the sake of his hobby? I think there must be some secrets, but I don't want to say it, forget it, how to say that I will be a descendant of Lao Tzu in the future. ’
Thinking of that child's obsession, Shen Shuo still shuddered a little. He can be called a rare person of great wisdom in ten thousand years, relying not only on erudition, but also on himself being very smart, even excessively intelligent.
Therefore, he could clearly perceive that Qin Zi had a strong obsession, and he thought that it should be the obsession with immortality that Ning Muxue mentioned before.
What's even more terrifying is that this obsession is now completely hidden, and I'm afraid that even Ning Muxue, who has the deepest relationship with him, will feel that the knot in his heart has been resolved.
You know, he's still a little bit older, even if he is those real demons, I'm afraid it's difficult to hide his obsession so well.
'This kid, if he really has a chance of immortality, I'm afraid he will really do whatever it takes......
It stands to reason that for Shen Shuo, it is better for this kind of uncertain factor to be eliminated secretly as soon as possible, and it is better to strike first, without waiting for him to grow up.
But the strange thing was that Shen Shuo didn't have such thoughts in his heart, and even when he reflected on his behavior just now, he obviously noticed that he was not disgusted with this child, but liked it very much.
The boy, though extremely intelligent, did not at all seem sinister, but rather very pure, and it was no wonder that I naturally had a crush on him. ’
In fact, Shen Shuo himself is like this.
Although he is very smart, he always tries to be pure, and he is not willing to meddle in the things he hates. Therefore, although he made many decisions within the Falling Sword Sect, he was not willing to show them at all, but instead behaved externally as a person who was bent on seeking the Tao.
These are the things that he was influenced by by the gentleman of the year.
Of course, that gentleman also said that it is not that a person with a pure heart does not know how to use intrigues, but can always stick to his heart.
Therefore, for Shen Shuo, whether it was him who secretly gave advice to the sect master, or he who tested Qin Zi's heart, he was not the real him.
Only the one who almost demolished the house in excitement because of a small research breakthrough is the real him.
He felt that Qin Zi could see this, so he had been showing great respect for himself just now; Because he can see it himself, Qin Zi is also like this.
Because they are the same kind of people, at least in pure inner form. (So Shen Shuo just said that he would cry and laugh, not that I wrote it blindly, but his personality was like this.) )
There are often some wonderful inductions between these people.
So no matter how he looked at it and felt that Qin Zi belonged to the kind of person who "this son cannot be kept", he couldn't be hostile to him, because he always had an idea in his heart that this child's heart was actually very good.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself:
"I think it's good for a person who is so obsessed, heh, it seems that I have a bit of a problem......"
After saying that, he turned into a streamer of light and flew towards the place where the sect master was retreating.
……
