After sending Zhou Qing away, Lu Yuan slowly adjusted his mood after experiencing a few days of discomfort.

Man is really a habitual creature.

He can quickly adapt to the fact that there is one more person around him, and he can also quickly adapt to the absence of one person around him.

Of course, this is only a physical and psychological habit.

Whether or not you can adjust emotionally to accept it really depends only on the individual.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan has read the Taoist scriptures for so many years, and he has been friends with Qi Yun Dao for a long time, and his own state of mind cultivation is still very deep.

Now a little parting can't bother him at all.

Only when I think that I may live and die in the future can I feel a little more emotional.

……

People always have to live.

Although the good apprentice is gone, Lu Yuan's plan still has to be carried out.

Since there is no one to do it for him, he simply does it himself.

However, because there was no one to help, when Lu Yuan was selecting people, he did not choose among all the sergeants according to the original plan.

Instead, among those who already have a foundation for internal strength, select those who are not old and have no teachers as their training objects.

As a result, there are fewer people to choose from.

After all, there are only about 20 of the 500 people in the whole army who have trained their internal strength. After screening a few more times in the middle, there were only five people left who met Lu Yuan's requirements.

These five are all people in their twenties who have practiced a rough and shallow exercise, but have no teacher.

Lu Yuan accepted them as registered disciples, and then each passed down the first layer of Liuyun Palm's mental moves, and sent them to self-study and self-practice.

He doesn't have high requirements for these named disciples, and he can reach the second-rate realm after twenty years.

These disciples can also be squeezed and squeezed again, so that they can collect some more disciples and grandchildren, and strengthen the momentum of the master.

Then twenty years later, it was the date that Lu Yuan chose to hit the Iron Sword Gate.

At that time, his master and ancestor will take the lead, bring five second-rate disciples, dozens of third-rate apprentices, and find a group of fox friends and dog friends, and he will barely be able to fight a dozen iron sword gates.

As for Zhou Qing?

To break through the rivers and lakes is to take your life.

Lu Yuan was not sure if his good apprentice would be able to survive to twenty years in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, this plan to attack the Iron Sword Gate did not include him.

However, even if there is one less apprentice, Lu Yuan also believes that with his current strength, after twenty years of accumulation, he will definitely be able to win the Iron Sword Gate.

"It doesn't matter if you can't take it, it's a big deal to wait another twenty years."

Lu Yuan looked indifferent: "When my disciples and grandchildren grow up, they will bring dozens of second-rate killers to the door, and I don't believe that I can't take the Iron Sword Gate." ”

As an immortal, I always have such a flexible bottom line when it comes to time planning.

And he did not believe.

If you keep up, you won't be able to survive a declining Iron Sword Gate.

……

After passing down the exercises, Lu Yuan stocked the five named disciples.

Except for one day a month to give them a lecture on their doubts, I don't pay much attention to it.

He was only then aware of the problem emotionally, and he was slowly correcting his behavior and thoughts, and began to think according to the logic of the immortals.

You can't invest too much emotion in everything, so as not to hurt your body and heart.

Everything should be seen in the long term.

What cannot be solved in a short period of time can be solved in ten, twenty, or hundreds of years, and time can erase everything.

Lu Yuan already felt that his mentality in the past few years had been a little unbalanced.

From the original leisure, it has slowly become a little anxious.

An immortal began to pursue a short-term increase in strength like those ordinary people, which was really a sacrifice of the basics.

"Is it my feelings that affect me?"

Lu Yuan meditated back and forth in his heart, constantly examining it, and finally came to the conclusion: "Because of helping Doctor Zhou and Xiaoqing, I became eager to solve the Iron Sword Gate.

And because of the turmoil over the years, I began to worry about Brother Sun, and finally encountered the threat of the Five Poisons Sect.

It is these dangers that keep appearing that make me feel stressed and anxious, and I want to strengthen myself. ”

If you think about it carefully, the changes he has made in the past few years are all because of his feelings.

Because I care, that's why I change.

Otherwise, according to Lu Yuan's temperament, in the face of these troubles and dangers, he would have found a place to hide a long time ago, and then after dozens or hundreds of years, his martial arts were completed, and he came out to take revenge.

How could it be like this.

Knowing that there was a threat from the Five Poisons Sect, he still stayed in Wugang County and did not leave.

"But even though I know the reasons that disturb my mood, I still don't want to change it."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Do everything and don't do anything.

In this kind of difficult and dangerous time, let him leave his friends behind, fly away, and only care about one person, which is really impossible.

Fortunately, with his own strength, he is now enough to face most of the dangers and protect his friends and himself.

It's just that despite this, Lu Yuan is also more determined to separate his feelings.

Now, for the sake of the original intention, you can take some risks with your friends.

But in the future, it can't be like this.

Otherwise, even if you are an immortal, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no overturn.

"I have affection, and I am ruthless to all things, this is my way."

Lu Yuan flipped through the Taoist scriptures, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the various immortal deeds above.

It is rumored that immortals are also immortal and live the same life as the sky.

After these pioneers became immortals, did they also experience the same mental journey as themselves?

With this kind of resonance, Lu Yuan comprehended the Taoist Sutra and was more and more able to comprehend the true meaning of it.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and in December, as the county seat of Wugang returned to stability, the county also prospered again.

After the county government sent people to investigate, they affirmed Sun Siwen's merits, and then when they were rated at the end of the year, they upgraded his grade by one grade and promoted him to the county order of the seventh grade.

Even Lu Yuan, because of the strength and merits shown in this quelling turmoil, was promoted by the county government by one level and promoted to the seventh rank.

It's just that he still serves as a county lieutenant and has not been promoted.

Regarding the promotion of officials' grades, Lu Yuan didn't care too much.

He had no intention of being an official, and the reason why he was an official was more for Sun Siwen.

Of course, now there is also to get rich.

After all, in a few months, he earned 130,000 taels of silver, which is really only an official robbery that can come so fast.

However, others become officials and make fortunes for the sake of extravagance and enjoyment, wealth and glory.

But after Lu Yuan made a fortune, although he also had this meaning, he didn't put too much energy into it, and only occasionally enjoyed it.

He has more energy and financial resources, or put it on improving his strength.

Among them, the lion's share is to spend money on pharmaceuticals.
