Originally, the old man was just out of curiosity, wanting to see how the young man in front of him would justify himself. When Zhang Weidong said that heaven and earth have the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and people also have five roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the old man was still thinking that this young man still knew how to pretend to be a ghost, but when Zhang Weidong lightly pointed out that his five roots were dominant, the old man's eyes were completely different when he looked at Zhang Weidong.
People have five roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which the old man knows, and the fortune teller also says that so-and-so is short of gold and water in his life. But Zhang Weidong didn't say that, but pointed out which of his five roots was the strongest. Although even the old man himself doesn't know which of his five roots is strong and which is weak, or whether there is anything missing, the old man has lived a lifetime, and his experience is naturally not comparable to Zhang Weidong, a young man who has been almost "autistic" for seven years, so as soon as Zhang Weidong said that casually, he heard the name and immediately put away his thoughts.
"I don't know how the little brother can see that I am the only one of the five roots?" The old man immediately asked after putting away his thoughts, and there was already a meaning of asking for advice in his tone, and the title changed from a young man to a little brother.
Zhang Weidong glanced at the old man when he heard this, and said, "I just saw it, as for how to see it, you don't have to ask." ”
Seeing Zhang Weidong say this, not only was he not annoyed, but he didn't dare to look at Zhang Weidong as an ordinary person, but he didn't know that Zhang Weidong was a natural success, and he could see it, but he couldn't really say the truth, and immediately said: "Hehe, you see that I'm old and confused, and I almost broke the rules, please forgive me." ”
Zhang Weidong saw that the old man didn't ask, and in turn blamed himself and apologized, and his impression of him couldn't help but be a lot better, and he waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay." As for the unruly rules, Zhang Weidong didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that Zhang Weidong was not surprised, the old man hesitated and continued to ask: "Why does the little brother say that this place is not suitable for my cultivation? If it is not suitable here, then where is it suitable?"
Zhang Weidong looked around for a week when he heard this, and pointed to a pine forest in the east of Jinghu Lake, which was dominated by cedars, which had only been planted in the last twenty or thirty years.
Although the old man had looked at Zhang Weidong differently, he still questioned a lot after all, and when he heard this, he looked at the pine forest over there, and then turned his head to look at the ancient wood forest behind him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the trees here were tall and leafy, and the air was good, and it was an excellent place to cultivate, and his face unconsciously showed a questioning expression.
Zhang Weidong pointed out the old man, on the one hand, it was because of his kindness, he couldn't bear to see the old man go the wrong way, and on the other hand, he subconsciously didn't want to find someone to talk about cultivation, after all, Zhang Weidong had been practicing for seven years, and he had been holding back the matter about cultivation in his heart for seven years. Now that he has decided to point out to the old man, he naturally doesn't want to stop halfway, so he said, "If you don't believe it, you can go over there and try it." ”
The old man was also speculating whether Zhang Weidong was talking nonsense, but when he saw Zhang Weidong asking him to try it, most of the doubts in his heart immediately disappeared, and he felt that people kindly reminded him that he was suspicious, and he really shouldn't, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you little brother for your advice, I'll try it." ”
Zhang Weidong naturally believed in his own judgment, nodded when he heard the words, and walked towards the pine forest to the east with the old man.
When the old man saw Zhang Weidong coming with him, he knew that he would never dare to follow him if he talked nonsense, so he almost believed it in his heart, and his steps unconsciously sped up a lot, and he wished that he was already standing in that pine forest now. So much so that on the way, he met a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears who respectfully called him the old principal, and he just nodded hurriedly, which was an answer.
The middle-aged man saw that the old principal seemed to be in a hurry, so he naturally didn't dare to pester him, but he glanced at Zhang Weidong, who was walking side by side with the old principal, with a slight curiosity and surprise, and nodded to him with a smile.
Zhang Weidong didn't know this middle-aged man, but when he saw him nodding to himself with a smile, he had to smile and nod at him, but he was a little curious about the middle-aged man's name for the old man, and thought, could it be that this old man is Professor Tan Zhengming, the former president of Wuzhou University?
Because of the doubts in his heart, Zhang Weidong couldn't help but ask, "Are you Professor Tan Zhengming?"
Seeing that it was Zhang Weidong who asked him, the old man was not good at slacking, and nodded as he walked: "Yes, why do you know me?"
Seeing that the old man was really the old president of Wuzhou University and an old professor in biotechnology, Zhang Weidong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking that he was a new young teacher who had put up a score in front of the old leader and old professor.
"I don't know, but I've read some of your academic papers. Zhang Weidong said truthfully.
"Oh?" Tan Zhengming glanced at Zhang Weidong in surprise and said, "You should still be studying for an undergraduate, right? Why did you start reading my thesis so early?
Zhang Weidong didn't know how many times he had been mistaken as a college student, and said helplessly: "The old principal, I have graduated with a doctorate, and I am a new university teacher introduced by the school this year." ”
Tan Zhengming was surprised when he heard that Zhang Weidong had already graduated with a doctorate, and he was also a teacher introduced by the school this year, but when he thought about it, Zhang Weidong could see that his five roots were dominant, and he could see that the ancient camphor tree was not suitable for his own cultivation.
Of course, because he knew that Zhang Weidong was a teacher in the school, the last suspicion that the old principal Tan Zhengming had about him disappeared.
Tan Zhengming originally wanted to ask Zhang Weidong which college he belonged to, but at this time they had already arrived at the pine forest. Tan Zhengming didn't care about asking any more questions, and after consulting Zhang Weidong's opinion, he walked under a cedar tree, spread his legs apart as before, and his arms naturally drooped, and began to cultivate.
Cultivating to the realm of Tan Zhengming, the sense of qi is still very strong, and when he calms down and cultivates, he immediately feels the gap between the cultivation of the two places, although the gap is not very obvious. But in the long run, over time, the gap may be bigger.
As soon as he found out that it was indeed as Zhang Weidong said, Tan Zhengming could no longer concentrate on cultivation, opened his eyes, grabbed Zhang Weidong's hand and said excitedly: "Little brother, what is your name? How do you know that cultivation here is better than in the ancient wood forest?"
