Chapter 3 Martial Arts, Divine Affection, and Cultivation
In the following months, Dongfang Wuyang often walked back and forth between his small home and his mother's house, and Shen Erya and Shen Zhiwei could often see their grandparents, and they also got acquainted with their cousins here.
As the eldest brother of the two sisters, Shen He mainly studied at home.
Shen Yushu invited a master with real talent and learning to supervise his homework every day, and he got along with his own sister very little, let alone his cousins.
In this regard, Shen Zhiwei was a little sympathetic to Shen He.
There is no parent who does not want her son to become a Chan, her father is pressing, whether her brother is serious or perfunctory, he is under a lot of pressure.
Dongfang Wuyang couldn't see it, and said it to her husband a few times, but Shen Yushu was an opinionated person, not only did she not convince him, but she was even persuaded by him in turn.
The eldest brother's education is not something that a baby can talk too much about, Shen Zhiwei looks forward to growing up soon.
After living for seven or eight months, she tried to speak, and surprised her parents again.
"Sansan, this girl is much smarter and more sensible than Erya. Dongfang Wuyang took the cup to feed her little daughter warm water, and said to Shen Yushu with a smile, "I think Sansan can understand what we are talking about, Sansan, do you say yes?"
Shen Zhiwei pretended to be stupid and refused to reply.
Her father flicked his youngest daughter's finger and thoughtfully said, "Erya is smarter than Ah He, and Junior is more well-behaved than Erya." Let's have another little four, he must be a natural prodigy. Wuyang, will you try? I miss you. ”
As he spoke, he put his arm around his wife's waist and gave a subtle hint.
"I don't want to give birth. You will be born, and you will be born. Dongfang Wuyang glanced at him, a little dissatisfied, "It's not like you haven't seen the hard work of Ah He and Erya, you can't eat or sleep well all day long, and your face is as bad as a ghost." is still three or three obedient, she didn't make a fuss when she was pregnant, and she was born sensible. ”
"Maybe the little four is better than the three-three?" Shen Yushu approached his wife, and his deep voice sounded in his ears, especially beautiful, "How do you ......know if you don't try?"
"Oh, look at what you said, giving birth to a child is probably as light as eating and drinking! yes, how do you know I'm having trouble with a baby if you don't try?"
Dongfang Wuyang refused to let go of anything, and turned over the old accounts with her husband.
"I didn't know that being pregnant was a chore, I was coaxed by you to conceive Ahe, and I was lured by you to conceive Erya. You said that three or three was an accident, I will believe you, and it was born. But if I conceive a fourth, I'll be a puppy!"
"You can't be a puppy if you're pregnant with a little four, let me be a puppy. Wuyang, three or three will call their parents, and it's not too much to have a little four......"
The couple was discussing whether to have a fourth child, and as they spoke, Shen Zhiwei was put aside.
Her father and mother were lying on the couch, their breath was messy, but they still remembered that their little daughter was watching and carried her outside.
was forced into a mouthful of dog food by these two people, and Shen Zhiwei was full of helplessness.
She had no interest in hearing their affection, so she called the maid in and took her away.
However, how can the mother explain her retelling of her father's words that she was an accident? Is it because the mother does not want to get pregnant but has her?
Shen Zhiwei didn't think deeply.
What she should know, she will know sooner or later.
Early the next morning, Shen Zhiwei was taken to her grandmother by Dongfang Wuyang, she called out to her grandmother, and the old man was immediately overjoyed and rewarded her with a gold-inlaid jade longevity lock.
This lock is exquisitely made, engraved with a peculiar simple pattern, obviously not an ordinary thing, but prepared in advance, just waiting to choose the right time to send it out.
Looking up at Dongfang Wuyang, Shen Zhiwei knew in his heart that it was only his mother who informed his grandmother in advance, and his grandmother would take out the longevity lock.
She can see it, and so can others.
The second aunt, who was sitting on the lower right side of her grandmother, didn't like Shen Zhiwei's mother and daughter, and immediately said: "Mother, my Zhen'er is your own grandson, he fell before, and the bruises on his knees are not healed. You love Sansan girl, and the longevity lock you give her can bring good luck, and I have the cheekiness to ask for one for Zhen'er. ”
Good luck?
Shen Zhiwei thought that the longevity lock was an ordinary symbolic decoration, but he didn't know that it came with a blessing buff, which was a rare good thing. She looked at her grandmother and felt that her grandmother could take out the longevity lock in front of everyone, and it must be easy to deal with the second aunt.
Sure enough, my grandmother looked at her second aunt and said slowly: "This longevity lock was made by Master Yi himself." Wuyang once worked beside Master Yi, and when he heard that Sansan was born, he had no time to congratulate, so he gave Sansan a small gift. ”
The second aunt smiled embarrassedly: "Since it was given to the third and third girls by Master Yi, it's not good to force it." He also said, "Wuyang, you only have one son, when are you going to give birth to a second one?"
Shen Zhiwei knew that the second aunt was pregnant with four children, all of whom were sons.
Secretly glanced at Dongfang Wuyang, her mother's face was not good-looking, which showed that she had a problem in her heart.
This is something that can't be helped, no matter how much the mother cares, Shen Zhiwei is also a daughter, and she will not become a man.
She concentrated on playing with the longevity lock, and pricked up her ears to listen to the house fight between her second aunt and mother.
But her grandmother didn't give her a chance to listen to the play, and started the topic in a few words, the eldest aunt and the third aunt took over the topic very tacitly, and the second aunt and mother also talked and laughed with everyone like no one.
This is Shen Zhiwei's favorite.
As a baby, she wants to understand the background of the current world, and the safest way is to listen and watch more, anyway, she can speak now, and if she doesn't understand, she can ask.
The adults are talking about a young man surnamed Shen, who has the same ancestor as Shen Zhiwei, and yesterday he was measured to have a four-grade spiritual root, which was favored by the Jingcheng East Mansion.
What is a spiritual root?
Qualifications to become a monk.
Compared to the martial artists who have worked hard to cultivate their internal strength, cultivators can swallow the aura between heaven and earth to improve themselves, although the number is far inferior to the former, but they are the masters of the world.
Some cultivators are infinitely powerful, and with just one finger they can easily crush martial artists of the same realm who specialize in exercising physical strength, and they are similar to martial artists' physical cultivation.
Some cultivators are good at using swords, and it is easy to take people's heads thousands of miles away, which is sword cultivation, also known as sword immortals.
Some cultivators are like legendary immortals, calling for wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers, and doing anything, this is Fa cultivation.
In addition, in addition to martial artists and cultivators, there are also divine favorites in this world, that is, Xuanshi.
In Shen Zhiwei's view, martial artists are like martial arts people in martial arts novels, and their ultimate pursuit may not be immortality, but in the end, they will inevitably set foot in the mysterious realm of "Dao".
Cultivators don't need to explain, but anyone who is familiar with Chinese culture knows two or three things about Qin Shi Huang and the elixir of immortality.
As for the mystics, the mystical arts they awakened were like abilities, the weak ones couldn't even beat a chicken, and the strong ones were comparable to the cultivators.
Depending on the focus of occultism, occultists are divided into three categories, namely supernatural masters, elemental masters, and summoners.
Most of the supernatural powers of supernatural people are related to the body, such as clairvoyance, downwind ears, and scuds, as well as mind reading, wall piercing, and speech and spirituality.
The Elementalist's abilities are related to natural elements such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, etc., such as releasing flames, condensing water streams, and spawning plants.
The summoner's skills are easy to understand, and their summons can be powerful creatures from this world, heroic spirits from ancient powerhouses, or otherworldly creatures.
Shen Zhiwei has been in this world for almost a year, and she knows the cultivators, and she also knows what the occult talent and martial arts qualifications are.
In An Ying City, children over the age of three can go to the temple dedicated to their ancestors to test whether they have the qualifications to become a martial artist or a cultivator.
It's a free service that people can go to or not.
There are traces of martial arts qualifications, which are related to the meridian bones, even if the qualifications are extremely low, and the meridians are blocked and the bones are poor, you can also improve your qualifications through various methods.
Occult talents are soul-related, elusive, and possessing talents does not necessarily lead to awakening.
The spiritual root is the most mysterious, in addition to the common five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there are also ice, wind, thunder, sand and other alien spirit roots, the cultivation speed of a single spirit root is the fastest, followed by the double spirit root, the three spirit roots, the four spirit roots are average, and the five spirit roots are the worst.
Among them, martial arts qualifications can be inherited, occult talents and spiritual roots are not picky, the rich can have them, and the poor can also have them.
The above three qualifications are divided by a set of nine-grade methods, with one product being the best, nine products being the worst, and rare super products and non-entering products, which divide people into different classes.
This seems to be cruel, because the rich can improve their Ninth Rank Martial Arts qualification to the Fourth Rank, and future generations have a certain chance of inheriting such excellent qualifications, while the poor are powerless to change the bad martial arts qualifications, and the probability of excellent qualifications among future generations is much lower than that of the rich, so they can only pin their hopes on the ethereal occult talent and spiritual root.
Moreover, there is only one free test in the ancestral temple, and the second test costs money, especially for occult talents, and the high price of testing is enough to bankrupt the poor.
Even if talent is measured, the rich can use the safest way to stimulate the talent with the greatest probability of awakening, while the poor have nothing but a life.
But this is also fair, the poor test the qualifications of the first product, awaken the talent of the first product, have the spiritual root of the first product, and can reach the sky in one step without struggle.
In Shen Zhiwei's view, the earth is as good as the earth, and the fantasy world is also good as the fantasy world. Taking the talent and qualification of the fantasy world as a person's IQ, there is not much difference between the two worlds.
She had heard Dongfang Wuyang and Shen Yushu talk about Shen Erya's future, compared to Shen He's five-grade martial arts qualification, Erya's qualification was only seven-grade, which was not good, and it could not be said to be bad.
Shen Yushu's plan was to tilt resources and focus on cultivating the eldest son, unless Erya awakened a metaphysical talent of no less than six grades or had a spiritual root, otherwise he would not bother too much with her.
Dongfang Wuyang does not favor the eldest son so much, what she means is that the three children compete fairly, and the excellent one has more resources.
Parents have their parents' plans, and Shen Zhiwei also has his own ideas.
She is not used to leaving her future to fate, and she is not used to calculating the resources in her parents' hands.
Reincarnating with the memories of her past life is her greatest advantage, and it should not be wasted.
After knowing that this world is not simple, her goal is still to leave a name in history, and the difference from the previous one is only one more thought: there are no eternal and unchanging rules in the world, and the class established by natural qualifications may not be able to be subverted.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiwei felt a little funny.
She doesn't have the ability to flip the chessboard and establish new rules, and no matter how much she thinks, she can only adapt to the environment, not change the environment and let the environment adapt to her.
If those who possess social resources with great power know her delusions, they can kill her without moving a finger, just with a look.
Yawning lazily, Shen Zhiwei couldn't bear the sleepiness and was dragged into sleep by the god of sleep.
