Chapter 18: Three Paths of Cultivation
At the beginning, he made a bet with Yan Gang, and Lou Hong was full of confidence.
He didn't believe that there was any pearl in his twenties that he had never cultivated, but he had to collect.
To put it mildly, even if he is really a cultivation wizard, delaying to the age of twenty-two is worthless.
As a simple example, a five-year-old child with a good memory and can read a thousand words and memorize a hundred poems, that is called talent.
A twenty-two-year-old adult can do this to this extent, and nothing is it.
So after observing Zhou Shang for a few days, Lou Hong stopped thinking and just waited for Yan Gang to come back and cash in on the gambling contract.
But who would have thought that because he felt the fluctuation of Yuan Qi and came out of the school to check, he would see such a strange thing.
Wang Gua is actually teaching Zhou Shang Tuna's method, forget it, after all, that thing is wanton, and it is not strange to do anything.
But what made Lou Hong feel even more strange was that Zhou Shang was able to find a sense of qi when he learned the breathing method for the first time.
This couldn't help but make Lou Hong a little shaken.
Could it be that Zhou Shang is really a rare genius of alchemy?
As an old sect in Xixia Prefecture, although it has been a little declining in recent years because of the way of cultivating qi and refining gods, after all, the ancestors were also broad.
Sects like this like this like that admit disciples like to be cultivated from an early age.
Considering Zhou Shang's age, Lou Hong couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Zhou Shang naturally couldn't understand the meaning of the commander's silence, he looked at Lou Hong with a pensive look, and said tentatively: "If the commander has nothing else to do, I'll go to dinner first?" ”
Lou Hong, who was interrupted from his thoughts, looked at Zhou Shang who had a frank face and just wanted to cook, and sighed helplessly, "Let's go, it just so happens that you are angry, and there are some things that should be told to you." ”
If it comes, it will be safe.
Although I don't know what Lou Hong is going to say, no one can stop a macho man who has just finished training and wants to cook.
I came to the small door of the cafeteria, lit the oil lamp, and the food was warm on the stove.
Lou Hong looked at it, and saw that it was grains and grain-fed poultry, and such a meal combination was very good for a young man who was new to physical cultivation and did not have the guidance of the master.
After a slight thumbs up in his heart, he followed Zhou Shang to the cafeteria and sat down, not in a hurry, but just sat quietly opposite and observed the other party eating.
Zhou Shang, who was hungry, naturally didn't care about this gaze, and started to eat by himself.
Compared with the initial indiscriminate eating, Zhou Shang's eating at this time has begun to have traces of rituals.
Although he was very hungry, before eating, he would still sort all kinds of food on the plate, and then put it into his mouth one by one, chewing each bite of food very carefully, and he had to wrap the food ball with Changsheng wine before swallowing it.
This kind of performance makes Lou Hong's eyes more appreciative, and at his age, he will naturally form a set of methods to measure qualifications.
In his view, it is particularly easy to distinguish between talent and mediocrity.
People who know how to do it better, but have no way to do it, are generally mediocre.
It seems that most of the guards in the camp obviously want to enter the product and live a better life, but when they are cultivating, they can be lazy and lazy.
Knowing that penance is the only way to achieve the goal, he will be forced back by the difficulties of the moment.
Such a person, no matter how noble his background is, how amazing his talent is, and how wonderful the exercises taught by his master are, his final achievements are very limited, so he is a mediocre talent.
What kind of talent is that, like Zhou Shang, after learning an upward method, even if he doesn't understand the fundamental meaning of this method, and doesn't even know whether it really works, he will implement it meticulously, and then feel it carefully.
In the process of feeling, people with higher talents will gradually understand the meaning of the method, and even suddenly realize it, and then introduce more methods and paths.
Those who are a little lower can also benefit from this method and enshrine it as a guideline.
Zhou Shang's practice of taking food is still short, and Lou Hong can't see the level of the other party's talent, but he is also a talent.
And talents deserve more preferential treatment, so he plans to say a few more words.
"I originally thought that if you can remember 30% of the diet, it will be good, but I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly, not bad."
After praising Zhou Shang's performance, Lou Hong turned the conversation around and began to talk about the common sense of the cultivation world: "Now that you have felt qi, the next thing is to cultivate qi and pass the pulse, and now in the Xuanling cultivation world, there are three ways to cultivate Yuan Qi."
Although feeling qi is only the second realm of cultivation, cultivating qi is the same as strengthening the body, it is a lifelong lesson.
Therefore, before practicing, it is very important to choose which way to cultivate Yuan Qi.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be discussed by your elders or close relatives, but I read your resume, and it said that you are an orphan and hunting in the wasteland for a living, right? ”
Zhou Shang nodded.
"This kind of statement will be exposed after a check, try to use it as little as possible in the future, take a look at your living habits, and at first glance, you are a young master born in a big family, an orphan, and a wasteland hunter! That is, if you meet Zheng Fu, otherwise you will not be able to enter the door of Qiankun Commercial House if you conceal your life experience! ”
After Lou Hong complained about the flawed resume, he continued: "Don't be nervous, everyone has secrets, I have no intention of exploring your life experience, I just want to tell you that if you want to be treated sincerely, you have to be sincere." You don't want to say what you don't want to say, and making up nonsense is always a terrible response.
Okay, there's too much gossip, where did you just go? Oh, by the way, there are three ways to cultivate Yuan Qi, and these three ways of cultivating Yuan Qi correspond to the three cultivation paths after entering the product.
You've also met several cultivators, have you noticed any differences? ”
Zhou Shang was stunned for a moment, not counting the exchanges he had seen when he visited the Yongning Daoist Hall, there were about three cultivators he had close contact with, Yan Gang, Lou Hong and Wang Gua.
But among the three of them, he has actually only seen Lou Hong do it, well, in fact, it can't be regarded as a hands-on, after all, whether it is lifting a carriage or holding the shopkeeper hostage, it is at most just fun.
As for Yan Gang and Wang Gua, he hadn't even seen the fun, and if Zhou Shang wanted to tell him what the difference was, he really couldn't say it.
But these three Zhou Shang have indeed seen it, and now that Lou Hong said this, after recalling it carefully, he really noticed a little difference, "It feels different, you give people the feeling that they are like a beast, even if you just sit there with a smile, you can make people feel dangerous."
Captain Yan Gang's words will not give people this feeling, but occasionally when someone disrespects orders, his eyes will be extraordinarily cold, like a sharp knife, unforgettable for a long time.
As for Master Wang... Master Wang gives people the feeling that he is like an ordinary person? No, no, no, it can't be said to be ordinary, it's just very natural, and you can't feel his depth at all.
I think it feels different, and I would like to ask the commander for advice. ”
"I didn't expect you to be quite sharp, not bad, not bad."
Lou Hong nodded approvingly and said, "The reason why the three of us make you feel different is because the three of us have taken three completely different cultivation paths.
I cultivate the body, I am strict and rigid to the gods, and Wang Gua is refining the qi, and the difference you feel is the difference between the externalization of these three cultivation paths. ”
