Zhang Ziruo was a poor man, at least the disciples of the Lingxi Sect thought so.

Like other disciples, Zhang Ziruo when he was a teenager was also full of spirits, especially after passing the selection of the first two levels, he felt that his cultivation in this life was promising.

However, when he heard the words "Yumen Second Turn", the cruel reality shattered his mind and ambition.

After joining the faction for a whole month, Zhang Ziruo didn't say a word, he had never been exposed to alcohol, and he was drunk and unconscious every night.

Until one day, Shen and Xushan chatted with him all night with wine, although I don't know what the two said, but since that day, Zhang Ziruo has no longer lived a muddy life.

Every day before dawn to go to the main hall to listen to the class, from the afternoon to the evening has been soaked in the Xiuzhen Pavilion to read the jade Jane, because there are not a few spirit stones, but so the academy saw that he was diligent, specially ordered to exempt him from the cost of entering the Xiuzhen Pavilion, because he read the group of books, was laughed by the students called "Mr. Waste Firewood", Zhang Ziruo did not think it was angry.

The jade slips on the third floor of the entire Xiuzhen Pavilion were originally disorganized, but they were all sorted out by Zhang Ziruo alone for thirty years, and finally became clear and organized.

When he was twenty years old, Zhang Ziruo was allowed to enter the inner door by the sect master with a mere second-layer realm of qi refining.

At the age of forty, the Fuguang faction of Donglai Mansion and the Lingxi faction had a disagreement, and the three elders of the Fuguang faction came to worship the mountain to discuss the law, and the competition between the two parties was very exciting, among which the two elders were surrendered by Nie Feichen, who had just entered the inner gate, with a sword, and when debating the cultivation of the realm, Zhang Ziruo was only the third layer of qi refining, but his mouth was like a river, and the Fuguang faction was speechless.

After this battle, Zhang Ziruo's name became famous in the Lingxi faction. Although many disciples still look down on him, there has always been a saying in the inner gate of Lingxi that "there is Zhang Ziruo in the text, and Nie Feichen in the martial arts".

When he was 100 years old, Zhang Ziruo made great contributions to the cultivation of the Pavilion, and finally left a name in the student forest.

On that day, Zhang Ziruo burst into tears, shouting, "It's okay to die at night!", and the disciples who once laughed at him couldn't help but be moved.

Although he has worked hard for many years and walked out of the shadow of waste materials, Zhang Ziruo, who has the habit of drinking at night, has left.

So Zhao Xianghua Lingshi bought Zhang Ziruo's favorite wine and came to Zhang Ziruo's stone room.

Before knocking on the door, Zhang Ziruo's spiritual sense had already sensed Zhao Yuan's movements, "Is it Xiao Zhao Yuan?" Come on, come on, come in, few people have been talking to me these days, but they have suffocated me to death." ”

Zhao Jiao pushed the door in, only to see a white-bearded old man with a disheveled head, and the bed, tables and chairs were full of jade slips, and there was no place to stay.

Zhang Ziruo took his foot and pushed the jade slip on the ground away, "Sit down and sit down, ouch, and brought two pots of good wine to the old man?"

Zhao Qian said respectfully: "The kid came this time to ask the senior brother for advice, so these two pots of thin wine are not a tribute, please be sure to accept it." ”

Zhang Ziruo took it unceremoniously, took out two quilts and filled them, and said: "Shaoyang apricot flower wine, it's not cheap, you kid have a lot of spirit stones?"

As he spoke, he took a sip.

"Zi-ha"

Zhang Ziruo, who looked satisfied, praised: "Good wine! Say, what's the matter with coming to my old man?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I came here for cultivation, I must have heard that Senior Brother Zhang has also heard that my talent is extremely poor, and I only have a turn in the Jade Gate, and I want to inquire about the method of breakthrough here......"

Before Zhao Zhi finished speaking, Zhang Ziruo interrupted his words: "What is a very poor talent? Your talent is simply bad at grandma's house!"

Zhao Zhi lowered his head and was silent, Zhang Ziruo continued: "Like me, the second turn of the Jade Gate is already an extremely poor talent in the cultivation realm, but there are always a lot, but once you turn the Jade Gate, it is rarer than the ninth turn of the Jade Gate!"

Zhang Ziruo poured another glass of wine and poured himself a drink, and said: "I have been immersed in Xiuzhen Pavilion for many years, and there are only dozens of people recorded in the Yumen of the entire Qizhou, and they are basically caused by acquired injuries. ”

Zhao Qian smiled bitterly: "Is it true that I can't practice for the rest of my life?"

Zhang Ziruo said: "Not necessarily, among these people, there are still those who have stepped into the path of cultivation. For example, the Zhang family in Tongzhou Mansion, as soon as the Jade Gate turned, he also cultivated to the sixth level of Qi refining, but it was limited to this, and the people who could build a foundation in the Jade Gate turned around had no precedent in the entire Qi Continent. ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhi was silent, Zhang Ziruo also sighed and said, "At first, when I knew that I only had the second turn of Yumen, I couldn't believe it. ”

Zhang Ziruo stared at Zhao Yuan's eyes, and said word by word, "Do you also think, why is God so unfair? Everyone else is a good person in cultivation, but he is a waste of firewood?"

Zhao Qian nodded, I was really unwilling, I came with enthusiasm, but I didn't expect it to become full of grief and indignation now.

"You are much more stable now than I was then, I drank wine for a whole month, and every day I talked nonsense, crying and grabbing the ground, you are not like me at a young age, and you can be regarded as a manufacturable material. ”

Zhao Yuan said: "Then how did you cheer up later?"

Zhang Ziruo looked up at the sky and recalled: "When Shen Hexu Mountain saw that I was pitiful, he personally came to my dilapidated residence to drink with me and persuaded me all night...... Don't look at Shen Shanchang's straight face all day long, he's a good person......"

After listening to the words, Zhao Zhi couldn't speak for a long time, but saw Zhang Ziruo's old hand on his shoulder and persuaded: "Life is less than a hundred, what to do when you run out, even if the talent is poor, you see that like me, you can make achievements in Xiuzhen Pavilion, famous student Lin, forget it, either go down the mountain in ten years to find another way out, or follow my old path and do a career in Xiuzhen Pavilion, I don't hesitate to spare my own skills, and teach you everything I know, what do you think?"

"I appreciate Senior Brother Zhang's kindness. ”

Zhao Cheng said respectfully: "But Zhao Cheng doesn't dare to give up, he is really a person in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself, if he can't practice, he won't be able to avenge his family's relatives, and he won't be able to fulfill the great wish in his heart, I hope Senior Brother Zhang can understand." ”

After saying that, he bowed heavily.

"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves......"

Zhang Ziruo muttered, "Okay, I don't force you, what are you asking when you come to me?"

Zhao Xuan said: "In Lingxi Terrace, I heard Hall Master Nie say that I can take the path of physical cultivation, but I just went to cultivate the True Pavilion for half a day, and I didn't find a single star, I don't know if Senior Brother Zhang can give me some point?"

Zhang Ziruo said with a smile: "Feichen always has such whimsical ideas, but is the path of physical cultivation so easy to follow? ”

"Why is that?" Zhao asked.

Zhang Ziruo asked rhetorically: "Do you know that 24,000 years ago, at the end of antiquity, yin and yang were inverted?"

"The kid knows. ”

"It was from that time that the physical cultivation gradually disappeared......

It turned out that in ancient times, physical cultivation occupied the mainstream of the cultivation realm, and it did not need to absorb spiritual energy by itself, but it occupied too many cultivation resources. However, Fa cultivation is actually a weak person, and they are squeezed out of their cultivation resources by physical cultivation, and they can only practice the Fa.

But a great change in heaven and earth changed everything, the physical cultivation became more and more declining, and the monks turned to the Fa cultivation, until 10,000 years ago, the Red Blood Divine Fruit became extinct in the Huaxia Cultivation Realm, and the road to physical cultivation was basically blocked, so after hundreds of years, the physical cultivation became extinct, only hidden in a thick stack of historical jade slips......

"That's all I know, but now there are people who cultivate their physique, but the method is not the same as the original physique, but it also consumes a lot of cultivation resources, but most of the current physique cultivators only start after recasting the spirit body, and the body is only used as an auxiliary, such as Nie Feichen is the double cultivation of the body and the law, so he became the first person in the Lingxi faction......"

From physical cultivation to Ji Shi, from Ji Shi to Emperor Qin, from Emperor Qin to the twelve points of the world, splitting the soil and ruling ......

Zhang Ziruo talked all night, drank all night, and Zhao Zhi also listened all night.

In the end, the voice became smaller and quieter, and Zhang Ziruo was drunk on the bed, snoring.

Zhao Zhi was also drunk when he smelled the wine, and in his muttered voice, Zhang Ziruo couldn't hear the words that had been repeated: "I'm really unwilling." ”

I'm really not reconciled.

When the flat ground is slightly white, the clouds and mist floating in the halfway waist of Xiangshan Mountain have been dyed golden yellow by the sun that has just jumped out of the horizon, and there is a sound of kingfisher warbler crying in the mountains. The top of Fearless Peak was the first to sprinkle a piece of gold, calling the students of Lingxi Academy that the plan of the day lies in the morning......
