145 Change of mindset

Zeng Shu paused and said: "There are actually several variations of the mandarin duck feet, not only the upward kicking, but also the low, medium and high kicks, and the kicking, let me show you." ”

Liu Zhendong was stunned on the sidelines, but he didn't expect a small mandarin duck foot to imply so many changes, in addition to being able to attack and defend, the most important thing is to cooperate with the body and footsteps, it seems to be called a mandarin duck foot, but it actually contains a whole set of offensive and defensive routines.

Zeng Shu continued: "Whether it is the old man's boxing fight, or the footwork change of the mandarin duck's feet, it is a truth with your use of the imperial sword technique, which contains temptation, change moves, false moves, killing moves, etc., I have been observing you for a long time, and the convergence will only switch back and forth, completely forgotten, the change of frustration, like a robot, will only run according to the routine step by step, and I have not forgotten that I am a human being, and I can think and observe." ”

Liu Zhendong sighed lightly and said, "Aggregation is originally the most basic three changes, how can other changes be added?"

Zeng comfortably shook his head and said: "Although the aggregation is the foundation of the foundation, but there can still be changes and frustrations, the simplest truth, just moving up and down left and right, there are 6 flight trajectories to choose from, the speed of the flight can also play a role in the change of frustration, the three forms of aggregation and separation, and 3 kinds of places that can change, your tricks are too few, there are basically no false moves, the tricks are too rigid, the power of the killing moves is not enough, and you don't play your own spirit at all." ”

Liu Zhendong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the small aggregation could be analyzed so well by Zeng Shu, when Shu Shu was there before, he didn't guide Liu Zhendong like this, Shu Shu just simply raised the problem of Liu Zhendong's slow conversion speed, and when controlling the flying needle, the problem of the coordination of innate qi and divine soul was not as complicated as Zeng Shu said.

This is the difference between Zeng Shu and Shu Shu's view of the problem, Shu Shu pointed out the fundamental problem of Liu Zhendong's swordsmanship, and Zeng Shu pointed out the problem of combat methods, one is only for swordsmanship, and the other is for the entire combat thinking, and the natural gap is quite large.

Liu Zhendong tried to follow Zeng Shu's ideas and blend more changes in the aggregation and separation, but was ruthlessly reprimanded by Zeng Shu, which was simply a snake to add to the painting.

Zeng Shu said: "Natural and not superficial, is the key point of change and false moves, senior brother, you are 'worried about the new words', change for the sake of change, not only delay the transformation time of aggregation, but also can not achieve the effect of deceiving the opponent, but also increase its own consumption, which can be described as a triple loss, causing people to laugh, ridiculous." ”

Liu Zhendong was a little angry, stretched out his right hand towards Zeng Shu, and motioned to Zeng Shu to demonstrate, but Zeng Shu was not polite, and directly sucked Liu Zhendong's flying needle into his hand.

Zeng Shu flicked the flying needle with his finger and said: "Looking at the traces of exercise, it should be the spiritual weapon refined by Xiao Liu for Senior Brother, and the refining is not bad, but it is too light, and the lethality is slightly insufficient." ”

With a 'dang', when the flying needle was suspended in the air, the sound was extremely loud, which made Liu Zhendong startled.

The flying needles seem to have no change in mid-air, just a very ordinary aggregation, but in the eyes of a cultivator like Liu Zhendong, the eighteen flying needles in mid-air show a momentum that can suffocate people, and it is not as simple as it looks in the eyes.

At least in Liu Zhendong's field of vision, he couldn't guess the trajectory of the flying needle, and which form it would change into in the next second.

This is not the most terrible place, the speed of the flight you don't seem to be fast, in fact, there is a pause, the speed and slowness make people dazzled, and even caused the illusion of 'disappearing', for a while, Liu Zhendong couldn't see how many flying needles were in the air, giving him the feeling that there were very few, only a few of them, but after a second, there were many flying needles covering the sky and the sun, and they were too many to count, like locusts pressing the realm.

Could it be said that it is the oppression of the divine soul, you must know that Zeng Shu is a human monk of the Eight Classics, majoring in innate qi, and he uses the people's martial arts of the Eight Classics, and there is no so-called divine soul affecting his judgment, which can only show that Zeng Shu's sword fighting is beyond his understanding.

Zeng Shu took back the flying needle, put it on Liu Zhendong's palm, and said: "Senior brother, is he very confused, a little confused, why my flying needle is so ethereal, not only can I not even judge the direction and shape, but even the number is hallucinated." ”

Liu Zhendong sighed lightly and said, "How did you do this? Obviously, there is no oppression of the spirit, but it makes people very confused." ”

Zeng Shu patted Liu Zhendong on the shoulder and said: "It's very simple, just like I just said, pay attention to the four moves of seduction, falsehood, transformation, and killing, you can achieve such an effect, it is not my soul that oppresses you, but the soul of my senior brother, maybe this is the so-called object pole must be reversed." ”

Liu Zhendong sighed, he didn't expect his soul to oppress him, this is too funny, how could this happen.

This is where Zeng Shu is powerful, Zeng Shu has shown superb cultivation talent since he was a child, for this reason, the head of Zhengyang thought of suppressing Zeng Shu's 'arrogance' several times, and instilled a lot of super strong concepts in Zeng Shu, but he never thought that Zeng Shu's cultivation was not delayed at all, and in the long run, Zhengyang Master had no skills and knowledge to teach, so he could only let Zeng Shu read ancient books, and he found inspiration from the books and notes left by his predecessors, and cultivated on his own.

As a result, I saw things when I read the book, the number of ancient books that I had read comfortably was very large, and he was not picky, and he read books of any content, which caused him to yearn for the outside world more and more, and he was a little confused about the current situation, maybe there was no problem with his own strength, according to the road estimated by the head of Zhengyang, if he continued to cultivate, he would soon be able to break through to the Venerable realm, but what about breaking through to the Venerable realm, could it be said that he had to spend his whole life to climb the ethereal realm of heaven and man?

The young Zeng was planted comfortably' Heart Demon', so that for a long time, in the depressed spiritual world, and even the symptoms of hallucinations and fantasies, Zeng Shudao's heart is still stable, and it is still easy to get out of the fantasy spiritual world, but Uncle Zeng has some resistance, and has not come out, but has followed the fantasy, but has followed the fantasy, but I didn't expect the symptoms to become more and more serious, fortunately, Zhengyang Daoist let go in time and allowed Zeng Shu to follow Liu Zhendong down the mountain, otherwise, Zeng Shu really could disobey the master's order, run away and go down the mountain, and fall into the realm of no return, and it will be difficult to break through to the Venerable realm in this life。

Liu Zhendong was standing in place at this time, the flying needle in his palm was flying rapidly, although the flight speed was fast, but he did not escape the control of his palm.

Zeng Shu nodded frequently on the side, Liu Zhendong's understanding is still very good, and after a little mention, he immediately found a breakthrough and was practicing setbacks.

Zeng Shu snapped his fingers and said: "Okay, senior brother, this is practicing later, I will continue to teach the eighteen styles of Ah Wei, I have said it, as long as the senior brother can integrate the eighteen styles of Ah Wei, the natural sword technique will suddenly become clear, there is no need to pursue the sword technique too much, just let it be." ”

Liu Zhendong took back the flying needle and said, "Okay, then you continue to demonstrate the Awei Eighteen Style." ”

Zeng Shu took over the explanation of the entire set of Awei eighteen styles, and the same idea as the previous explanation, starting from the four tricks of lure, falsehood, change, and killing.

Liu Zhendong raised some questions from time to time on the side, Zeng Shu was also very patient to answer, for some of Liu Zhendong's actions, Zeng Shu gave corrections, seeing that the sun was about to set, Zeng Shu signaled Liu Zhendong to go to dinner, and continue to practice tomorrow.

At the time of eating, Liu Zhendong seemed to be unrelenting, thinking about the content of today's harvest, in general, Liu Zhendong has gained a lot today, the most important thing is the idea of being comfortable to explain, temptation, falsehood, change, and kill!

Before that, Liu Zhendong didn't think too much, and just wanted to practice the Juli and Sword Formation wholeheartedly, but fortunately he met Zeng Shu in time and didn't smear on this road for too long.

Liu Zhendong couldn't help but think about why his master, Lao Mouzi, didn't explain so much knowledge to Zeng Shu like he did.

Liu Zhendong thought about it and shook his head, to be honest, he can't blame Lao Mouzi, after all, Lao Mouzi has been with him for too short a time, and the path Lao Mouzi has taken should be different from Zeng Shuzi.

In his mind, he drifted through the hospital again, the unfathomable sword formation that Lao Mouzi showed him, at that time there was only shock, and at present, it seems to be similar to what Zeng Shushu explained, maybe Lao Mouzi thinks that at this stage, he can grasp the foundation firmly, there is no need to learn more complex things, Zeng Shu is that the so-called deception and killing are just the foundation, and they should be mastered first, so it seems that Lao Mouzi is misunderstood.

"What do you want?" Luo Li asked, dressed in a white robe, sitting in front of Liu Zhendong.

Liu Zhendong took a bite of food and said: "It's nothing, I miss Lao Mouzi, speaking of which, I and Lao Mouzi are really a cheap combination of master and apprentice, how can there be a master like him, basically I can't see each other a few times, and the cultivation matters all depend on me to explore, it's so irresponsible!"

Luo Li sighed and said: "Lao Mouzi may have a shadow, I didn't know much about Lao Mouzi before, I had more free time during this time, I took the time to investigate Lao Mouzi, and found that Lao Mouzi was much more complicated than I imagined." ”

Liu Zhendong sighed and said, "What are you doing to investigate my master?"

Luo Li stared at Liu Zhendong and said, "Aren't you curious?

Listening to Luo Li say this, Liu Zhendong is indeed very curious about Lao Mouzi, Liu Zhendong knows very little about his master, only understands some basic information, as for what kind of person Lao Mouzi was in the past, he is completely unclear, and he doesn't know what Lao Mouzi's strength is and what his own master is like.

Luo Li asked with concern: "Look at your thoughtful appearance, what's wrong, do you want to know some information about Lao Mouzi?"

Seeing Liu Zhendong's curious appearance, Luo Li smiled wickedly and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Liu Zhendong said: "I still have a little bit of interest and want to know about it. ”

Luo Li pouted and said, "It doesn't seem to be very interested, so forget it, I'm too lazy to say it." ”

Liu Zhendong hurriedly pulled Luo Li and whispered: "Okay, I really want to know, is it okay? ”

Luo Li snorted and said: "The story of Lao Mouzi is that the monk knocks on the wooden fish, if you really want to understand, you should ask your master directly, I am not an outsider to tell you." ”

When he was refining the pill at night, Liu Zhendong was also thinking about the bait and false transformation and killing that he had learned today, and thought in his heart that since the move routines have also changed, the change of the elixir is not the same as the deception and transformation of the killing, and his blind guidance is not a little too conforming to the meaning of the medicinal materials, if it can be controlled well, can it achieve the same effect as controlling the flying needle, so that the medicinal materials can follow my guidance and action, rather than me following the changes in the medicinal materials.

The idea is beautiful, but in fact it is ridiculous, especially when it comes to alchemy, it is impossible to achieve such a state.

The difficulty of refining the pill lies in the unknown changes, the experienced old Dan master, he does not dare to say that he has mastered all the changes in the medicinal materials, this medicinal material is the same as bacteria, with the development of the times, it will produce many unknown variables, and the consequence is that the refining is becoming more and more difficult.

According to the records of the Book of Dan, taking the most common living pill as an example, at the earliest time, there were only thirty-two changes according to the test, and now there are more than fifty kinds of living pills and changes that Liu Zhendong has encountered, not to mention those that have not been encountered.

When a single medicinal material does not meet other medicinal materials, it is indeed following the thinking of the medicine master and acting with the pill, but once a variety of medicinal materials are fused, it is not something that the medicine master can control, he can only set things right, try to guide and control the changes, and think about completely controlling the medicinal materials, which can only cause one consequence.

'Bang', Liu Zhendong patted his head with some remorse, after Luo Li opened the Dan furnace, after seeing the black residue of medicinal materials, she said: "What's the matter? Today's state is so bad? Even refining the first-level pill has to be fried, it won't be the time to train during the day, it's too hard, resulting in poor spirit at night, and the phenomenon of the blaster appears." ”

Liu Zhendong shook his head and said: "It's not because of the spirit and spirit, I'm in a good state now, at least a little taken for granted, it's okay, continue to refine a furnace." ”

Luo Li cleaned up the residue of the pill, continued to put the medicinal materials into it, and after adjusting the state, Liu Zhendong began to continue refining.

This time, Liu Zhendong was not as greedy as he was just now, trying to control the changes of all medicinal materials, but controlled 2 or 3 kinds of medicinal materials.

In this way, the difficulty of control has been reduced a lot, after all, there are very few points where 2 or 3 kinds of medicinal materials can be changed, but even if it is a level 1 pill, there are as many as a dozen kinds of medicinal materials involved.

Even if Liu Zhendong can be distracted to control 5 or 6 piles of medicinal materials, he still has to let all the essence of medicinal materials fuse together, this time is the key point of whether the pill is formed or not, no matter how good the control is in front, it is not of much use, if it is not possible to kick the door, it can only be said that the process is beautiful, and the result is sparse.

Luo Li hadn't noticed anything abnormal, and when the second fryer appeared, Luo Li was a little unhappy, and angrily reprimanded: "Liu Zhendong! It's okay for you to be serious with me! The more others are refining, the higher and higher the level, how can you do the opposite? Once it can be said that it was an accident, two times in a row! You are not a beginner anymore, but you are also a junior alchemist who has refined hundreds of furnaces!"

Liu Zhendong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I feel like I've mastered it." ”

'Poof', the third time the fryer appeared, Luo Li's little face was red with anger, and she pointed at Liu Zhendong is scolding.

Liu Zhendong didn't talk back, he opened the Dan furnace to clean up the residue, put in the medicinal materials, lit the furnace fire and continued to start refining.

The fourth and fifth fryers came one after another, and Luo Li laughed angrily, and she didn't even have the desire to scold Liu Zhendong.

Liu Zhendong was not discouraged, and continued to start refining, and after slowly dissipating his anger, Luo Li also found a problem, Liu Zhendong did not mean this, as if he was trying some new technique.

Luo Li shook her head, obviously there are predecessors of Zhuang Kang Avenue not to go, but to be self-righteous to take the thorny path, if you don't fail, who will fail?

Liu Zhendong's perseverance is much higher than Luo Li imagined, he blew up 7 times in a row, and a normal person would have given up a long time ago, but Liu Zhendong just didn't give up and continued his thinking.

Luo Li didn't persuade her, anyway, the Dan furnace can withstand the damage of the explosion furnace of the low-level pill, just Liu Zhendong, the medicinal materials of the grade 1 pill are not expensive, she is at a loss at level 3, and she is afraid of the little level 1 pill.

Liu Zhendong wants to say that there is no pressure, it is impossible, just like playing mahjong, if you keep losing, you will feel unhappy in the big addiction, and the continuous failure also makes Liu Zhendong feel suspicious.

Fortunately, there were only ten good things, and when refining for the ninth time, it was finally successful, Liu Zhendong opened the Dan furnace excitedly, but the pill in front of him made Liu Zhendong sad.

The pill in front of him is judged according to Liu Zhendong's experience, at most it belongs to the quality of 3 grades, you must know that normal refining, Liu Zhendong can also refine 3 grades of pills, but I didn't expect to increase the control of self-righteousness, which is also the result.

Luo Li grabbed the pill in her hand and looked at it, and said: "Not bad 3-grade pill, but your scrap rate is too high, if you can improve your success rate, you can also refine it like this, if you can't improve the success rate, you should honestly follow the steps I taught you, and refine the pill step by step, after all, the success rate of this is much higher, and the quality of the oven is almost the same." ”

Liu Zhendong touched his head and muttered: "It's not quite right, it should be in perfect condition, right, how can it be the quality of 3 products." ”

Luo Li snorted coldly and said: "Are you thinking about fart eating, 1 pint of pills is hard to find, even if it is my master, I don't dare to guarantee that 1 pint of pills will be baked every time, just you? ”

Luo Li's heart is actually extremely painful, Yunshu Mountain's Dan furnace is the most traditional kind of Dan furnace, and the modern requirements of the 'fine' are different, belonging to the ancient 'rough' school, the modern Dan furnace is small and exquisite, pay attention to one furnace and one Dan, slow work out of fine work, up to 5 pills at a time, most of them are only refining one pill at a time.

Yunshu Mountain is tolerant of all rivers, at least more than ten pills can be baked at a time, and even hundreds of pills can be baked at one time, as long as the medicinal materials can be stuffed in the pill furnace, the pills can be refined in batches.

The change in style mainly comes from the scarcity of medicinal materials, and now it is not as good as before, and the treasures of heaven and earth have been almost excavated, so the modern pill pharmacists emphasize the success rate, even if it is a little slower and the refining efficiency is low, it is necessary to ensure that it can be successful, after all, medicinal materials are rare now, and they cannot be refined without restraint as before.

In fact, in ancient times, there were also small 'Dan furnaces' that specialized in refining high-grade pills, so as to improve the success rate, after all, in ancient times, high-grade medicinal materials were still difficult to obtain, and the difficulty of refining high-grade pills was quite high, and if a large Dan furnace was used, the cost was not only very large, but the failure rate would also increase.

Liu Zhendong blew up 8 furnaces with this bombing, and went out with hundreds of thousands, and only a dozen 1-grade 3-grade pills were baked, and only 100,000 could be recovered after a full fight, and Luo Li could be said to have blown up at a loss!

Liu Zhendong didn't know how amazing the consumption of medicinal materials was, and he was still refining without restraint, but fortunately, Luo Li also lost money, let Liu Zhendong practice, anyway, after failing a few more times, Liu Zhendong would give up.

When refining for the second time, it took 6 consecutive times to fry the elixir, and the quality was the same as before, and it was also the appearance of 3 products, so Liu Zhendong wasted hundreds of thousands of medicinal materials.

Luo Li couldn't stand it a little, and just wanted to open her mouth to stop this wayward behavior, but Liu Zhendong spoke first and said: "Let's do this for the time being, my spirit is not enough, I will go back and think about today's gains and losses first, and continue tomorrow." ”

Luo Li said angrily: "Do you still know that it is enough to stop? Did you see that the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace room had been squandered by you, so you stopped refining?"

Liu Zhendong sighed lightly and said, "Don't be angry, this refining is originally a success and a failure, after all, I am a beginner, if I can succeed, then it will be worth it." ”

Luo Li gritted her teeth and said: "You are a beginner of fart! You have refined the level 1 pill hundreds of times, it should have succeeded every time, fried it once dozens of times, and it can be said that it is in the normal range, but you have to find another way, and you have to make the fryer more than a dozen times, and only succeed once, you really don't feel sorry for the medicinal herbs and the Dan furnace!"

Liu Zhendong touched Luo Li's head and said, "Okay, I know, I'll pay attention to it tomorrow, and you should rest early." ”

Luo Li opened Liu Zhendong's hand and said, "Get out, who asked you to touch my head, I think you have itchy skin, right?"

Liu Zhendong spread his hands and said, "Don't be so angry, I'll go first." ”

After returning to the room, Liu Zhendong began to think about the refining process just now, on the surface, there was no problem, and when it was finally baked, there was no result that Liu Zhendong wanted, and forcibly controlling Hou Cheng Dan did not seem to be much different from complying with the medicinal materials themselves Cheng Dan.

Liu Zhendong lay on the bed and thought about whether it would be a problem with the steps, whether he could comply with it first, and then interfere and control it when there was a change.
