Chapter 10: The Four Cultivations of the Daomen
The clan meeting went very smoothly, the ancestors warned in front, all families took action, and the village of hired farmers and children immediately set up a team of thirty people, these are young and strong children, will start to practice martial arts from tomorrow, and the blacksmith shop in the village also started that night, quenched the farm tools and began to fight knives and guns.
Family management is like this, as long as there is no big conflict of interest, it will be the first time to operate, and the energy is not small.
By the time Tong Tianyang walked into the third uncle's hut again, it was already midnight.
The third uncle sat on the table of the Eight Immortals with full energy, and the paper, ink, pen and inkstone were opened, and it seemed that he was doing the training syllabus of the next Rian, and those who had the ability were like this, strategically despising tactical attention.
"How's the convoy going!"
Seeing Tong Tianyang coming in, the third uncle raised his head and continued to write.
"There are a total of thirty people, thirteen disciples of the family, and seventeen children of the hired farmer's family, all of whom have followed our Tong family for two or three generations, and there is no problem in loyalty!"
"Thirty people, I'm about the same as expected, let the three stewards in the clan cooperate with me, you don't care, I will train them to be soldiers in half a month, and they will be able to fight within two months!"
The third uncle wrote quickly, and he obviously had drafted it in his heart, and he didn't need tools at all when he drew the picture, he could draw perfect circles and triangles at hand.
No wonder the family said that the third uncle was the most literary person of the previous generation.
"This is a formation derived from the Bagua diagram, eight people in the outer circle hold shields and knives, four people in the inner circle use spears, and one person in the main formation can block the impact of a squadron if used properly, which is what I saw in the north back then! When the time comes, you and I will each preside over a while, which is enough to face many situations!" The third uncle dropped his pen and said with a smile.
"Third Uncle Dacai, what should I do with this shield?"
Tong Tianyang has just come out of the blacksmith shop, and he clearly knows the situation at home, and it is okay to make a few pig-killing knives and two spearheads, but this shield can't be made by saying anything.
"I have thought about the problem of the shield, our estuary itself is soaked in these three giant trees, which were transported back by your father to build a house, tomorrow I will find someone to pull it up, cut the surface to the sun, and it will be enough for a week at most in the current sun, and then soak it in the oil, and after drying, cover it with cow and sheep skin, and a simple shield will come out!"
The third uncle had an overall plan, and as he spoke, he put away the paper full of words, "The key to everything at the moment is still you!"
"Cultivation is a very hard thing, it costs a lot of money, do you know how much silver your third uncle and I got when we traveled abroad?"
Tong Tianyang knew that the third uncle was going to get down to business, so he immediately sat up straight.
"Seven hundred taels of gold, three hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver, and countless jewels of all kinds, but even if it is still not enough, my master said that if a person wants to cultivate to the realm of knocking on the gate of heaven, he needs to spend at least one and a half million taels of silver, and you have to have a number of this money in your heart?"
"How could it have been spent so much?"
Hearing this, Tong Tianyang's mouth grew uncontrollably.
One and a half million taels, silver!
He has understood the money and grain, under the rule of the Great Wei Dynasty, one tael of silver is enough for a family of three to eat and drink for a week, and there are 400,000 households in the entire Xiangzhou, and 1.5 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the ration money of the entire Xiangzhou people for a month.
"You don't think it will cost that much money?"
Tong Tianyang nodded, if this is the case, what kind of cultivation is this, this is simply burning money.
"These two recipes, you will use next, a medicinal bath, a meal!"
"The prescription for the medicinal bath, ten taels a pair, is three hundred taels a month. One pot of medicinal food, fifteen taels, one pot a day, that is, four hundred and fifty taels a month, during which you may also have to tonic ginseng, shou wu, angelica, which are precious medicinal materials that nourish essence, and one thousand taels may not be enough in a month!"
"Third uncle, can you have less?"
Since his family knows about his own affairs, he hollows out his whole body, Tong Tianyang is only eight or nine hundred taels of silver, and there are five hundred taels of silver that he brought back from the imperial capital.
Shaking his head, "These are all life money, once you start cultivating, the internal breath will continue to devour the essence in the body to strengthen yourself, the internal breath is strong, and the vitality seems to be strong, but in fact, it is all squeezing the potential of the human body, if there is not enough nutrients to replenish it, the human body will decline rapidly and eventually die!"
Looking at the third uncle's non-joking appearance, buy life money, buy life money, in this kind of world where you can die at any time, it's a big deal to earn money when the money is spent!
There are so many classic operation plans on the earth, just do one, and the money will come?
With force in hand, if you really encounter someone who is rich and unkind in troubled times, you will rob it!
"I know you're poor!" the third uncle smiled and squeezed his hands, "The reason why I said to you is to tell you that this road burns money, so that you can be mentally prepared." The third uncle will help you a little bit in the early stage, and the money matter is here, so let's talk about cultivation with you!"
"Today, there are four directions of cultivation, instrument cultivation, magic cultivation, demon refining, and gods and demons!"
"Instrument repair, as the name suggests, heavy and repair, a body of creation is all on the natal instrument, the day of the formation of the natal instrument is the time when the instrument repair knocks on the door of heaven, with the continuous growth of the natal instrument, the cultivation of the instrument will become stronger and stronger. The disadvantage is that once the weapon is destroyed, the cultivation will turn into flowing water!"
Tong Tianyang touched his chin, thinking of the swordsman of Shushan and the blowing snow of Ximen, they should all belong to the category of instrument cultivation, but the former is classified, and the latter is concretized.
"Cultivation and Taoism. Raising your hands and feet to call for wind and rain, this kind of cultivation is relatively easy to advance, and the magic is also powerful, the only drawback is that the physical body is too weak, and it is fought by others, and there is no power to fight back at all!"
Shuxiu, similar to a magician, this is easy to understand, Tong Tianyang nodded.
"Demon refiners, related to witches, they hunt and kill spirits, draw strength from spirits, so as to have the characteristics of demons, such as a pair of wings, sheep's head and human body, and the means are strange, if you encounter this kind of cultivator in the future, you might as well get close to them, they are masters of fighting on the front line of demon eradication, and they have an enmity with demons!"
Isn't this nonsense?
Kill demons and practice, and use the ability of the demon clan to deal with demons, and demons can only have ghosts if they don't hate these guys. Zhang's strange shape, this kind of person is obviously very short of friends.
"The last category is the god and demon stream, they imitate the gods and demons to cultivate, melee combat is comparable to demon refining, long-range attack is equivalent to magic cultivation, if the demon god who imitates the object has a magic weapon, it is not weaker than the weapon cultivation at all, it is regarded as the most perfect cultivation method, but unfortunately the gods and demons have little inheritance, and even fewer have knocked on the gate of heaven, the third uncle has traveled for more than ten years, and he has only heard of it, but he has never seen it!
Isn't that a hodgepodge?
Considering all aspects, everything must be the strongest, how can it be so easy. But yes, once such a monk appears, he must be a wizard among wizards.
"Then third uncle, which direction are you taking?"
After making up for the situation of the gods and demons, Tong Tianyang immediately asked, if nothing else, his future path should be the same as that of the third uncle.
