"The mulberry tree lives and grows because it has roots."
When Fang Jie saw this sentence, he realized that this notebook not only recorded Sang Luan's experience before conquering the West, but also his spiritual experience. So he was a little excited, and suddenly understood why Sang Sasha gave this notebook to him in the first place. Because for Fang Jie, this thing is indeed like a great tonic genius.
Although Sang Sasha didn't specifically point it out, she once said such words.
"The Sang family's physique is very special, so they can only choose the woman who is closest to nature to combine with their offspring. Perhaps it is because of luck, people in the Sang family can always meet such a woman. But in my generation, I am that woman .”
But she chose Fang Jie.
So Fang Jie once thought, wouldn't he have the same physique as Sang Luan? If this is the case, it's no wonder that Dalun Mingwang and Luo Yao care so much about him.
"The roots of a tree are the veins of a person. A tree needs roots to provide what it needs to grow up, and a person needs veins to support his cultivation. However, the inherent meridians of the human body cannot bear the weight of the vitality of the world. They are like rough paths and cannot be carried by carts. If A trickle of water cannot pass through a big boat. So I can only open up the necessary veins, which I call Qi veins."
Fang Xie took a deep breath and couldn't wait to continue reading. At the same time, the admiration for Sang Luan has reached the point where it cannot be increased. This person is a miracle. A lot of people get cranky, but just cranky. He was also cranky, but he became the pioneer of an era. The human body has no meridians that can withstand the vitality of heaven and earth, so he creates his own meridians. Those two simple sentences made Fang Jie feel how strong this person is.
"When I was creating Qimai, I kept thinking about what is the most powerful force in this world. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that the most powerful force is the force of nature. Everything is created in the sky, there is the alternation of the sun and the moon, and the wind and rain Thunder and lightning, the power of these things cannot be resisted by humans, they are solid. If these abilities can be used by me, I will be the most powerful person in the world."
Fang Jie turned to the next page and found that it was a hand-drawn and somewhat scribbled picture. The painting is of a human body, but I have to say that Sang Luan's painting is really ugly, and the person's painting barely has an outline, which is crooked. But you can see several very clear qi channels extending from the dantian, connecting the limbs.
When Fang Jie saw this picture, he felt a little familiar, and then suddenly thought that this was not one of the pictures in the notebook given to him by the old dean Wan Xingchen. It's just that although the old dean's paintings are much more beautiful, there are no annotations. That is to say, the old dean knows that such a physique exists, but he doesn't understand it.
Although Sang Luan's picture is poorly drawn, the labeling is extremely clear.
Which Qi channel was opened up first and what ability it has is very clearly explained in a few words. Fang Jie was fascinated by it, and then thought of the Qi channels in his body. Although it is not close to this picture, the inspiration he got from it is of great benefit to him. Just like there are no two identical leaves in this world, there are absolutely no two identical people. So even though Sang Sasa chose Fang Jie, it doesn't mean that he has the same physique as the Sang family.
Although this picture is different from the Qi channels in his body, what Fang Jie valued was the practice method that Sang Luan wrote down.
He continued to turn backwards, and at the back was Sang Luan's record of how the various qi channels in his body operated. At the beginning, Sang Luan didn't master it very smoothly. After fumbling without reference, it took Sang Luan about a few months to find the trick.
The biggest difference between his physique and Fang Jie's is that Sang Luan's physique was completely changed by himself. Maybe he was just a very ordinary person at first, while Fang Jie's body is constantly growing by himself. I don't know what it takes to grow.
He just accepts passively, while Sang Luan actively changes.
Moreover, this miraculous man, after discovering that he is dissatisfied with certain parts of his body, will modify it. He used his body as a test object, and there are many records of the dangers he encountered when he transformed himself. There were several times when he almost died, but he came over with strong perseverance.
He sat under the mulberry tree in Enlightenment Mountain for so many years, and most of the time was spent on how to perfect his body. It can be said that Sang Luan, who walked down Wudao Mountain and left the villagers, was a perfect prototype, and then he gradually turned this prototype into a finished product by relying on his subsequent experience.
This notebook ended when Sang Luan returned to Wudao Mountain with a powerful army. Fang Jie used Zheng to read it all afternoon without even eating lunch.
Undoubtedly, he gained a lot from this notebook, and Fang Jie also found the deviation in his practice method from it. In fact, in a sense, Sang Luan and Fang Jie are the same type of people. Back then, Fang Jie didn't give up when he was sure that he couldn't practice, but kept trying to find a way to become a practitioner, and he finally found it.
This method is completely different from most practitioners, but not every practitioner can use it. For example, Shen Qingfan, she knows that the practice method Fang Jie told him is more conducive to improving his cultivation, but the teachings she has received since childhood have been deeply ingrained, and if she wants to change, the first is that it is difficult to accept it physically, and the second is that she cannot go smoothly mentally. change.
Fang Jie took a deep breath after reading the notebook, then closed his eyes and began to examine his body. He can clearly feel the existence of Qi veins and the existence of those abilities, but he still can't achieve perfection in the use of them, and Sang Lun's notes opened a door for him, even Fang Jie didn't know about it. How much the door has benefited him later.
…
…
The first batch of supplies from the southwest was provided by Liangcheng. The defenders of Liangcheng watched the Black Banner Army marching into the city gate with strange eyes. It swung out from the other side. The eyes of these defenders were a little frightened and shocked, because they had never seen such a majestic cavalry team.
Zhong Xin, governor of Beihui Province, hosted a banquet in Liangcheng to entertain Fang Xie. Among them was Chen Yongfu from the Chen family of Beihui Province. It was a great shame and humiliation for Fang Jie to blackmail so many supplies.
In fact, aristocratic families are different from aristocratic families, because the styles of doing things are also very different due to regional differences. Compared with the wealthy families in Chang'an City, Gyeonggi Province, the local wealthy families are a little more domineering and arrogant. Those real big families in Gyeonggi-do will deliberately show their humility and courtesy no matter who they face. Of course, it can also be understood as hypocrisy. But obviously this kind of hypocrisy is cuter than Chen Yong's overt arrogance.
At the wine table, Chen Yongfu sneered a few sarcastic words from time to time, although it was not obvious, the scene became awkward several times because of it.
Zhong Xin interrupted the topic several times, but Chen Yongfu didn't seem to intend to end it here, after all, most of the money and grain given to Fang Jie came from his Chen family.
"I heard that General Fang is the number one strange person in the world."
Chen Yongfu smiled while holding his wine glass: "I heard that General Fang was a well-known person who could not practice before he arrived in Chang'an, but after he arrived in the capital, he suddenly became enlightened, and his cultivation went very smoothly all the way. Those who can't compare with others... This is really surprising, I'm also a person who can't practice, may I ask General Fang if there is any way for me to step into the door of practice?"
Fang Jie squinted his eyes and glanced at the old man sitting next to Chen Yongfu. He could see that this person had a good cultivation level, and the reason why he was sitting next to Chen Yongfu and Chen Yongfu talked about cultivation must have something behind him.
"Even if I made a mistake myself, I don't dare to point out others indiscriminately."
Fang Jie smiled: "Wouldn't it be a crime if you hurt the father-in-law because of nonsense?"
"That's all right."
Chen Yongfu pointed to the old man beside him and said: "Although this man's cultivation is so-so, he has been my personal bodyguard for more than ten years, so it is not enough for anyone to hurt me."
"oh… "
Fang Jie let out a groan and lowered his head to drink.
"Why, is General Fang looking down on me?"
Chen Yongfu smiled and said: "You are also a physique that cannot be cultivated, and I am also a physique that cannot be cultivated. Since you have found a method that can be cultivated, are you not willing to tell me? How about this, if General Fang teaches me this method, I will An additional 10,000 shi of grain and grass can be used as military resources."
"Ten thousand stones..."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "Young Master is indeed very important."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yongfu's face changed: "Why, General Fang is belittling me? As long as the method is right, why can't I if you can do it?"
The old man sitting next to him sneered: "General Fang, it is a disgraceful thing for a practitioner to hide his secrets."
Fang Jie's eyes froze, he pointed at the tip of his nose and asked Zhong Xin, "What's your name?"
Zhong Xin introduced embarrassingly: "This is Mr. Chen's personal attendant."
Fang Jie narrowed his eyes and smiled: "So it's a personal follower... May I ask if you have any fame?"
The old man said coldly: "How many practitioners care about fame?"
"That is, no?"
Fang Jie asked.
Chen Yongfu said coldly: "Why, is General Fang looking down on him because he has no fame? If that's the case, he's also looking down on me?"
Fang Jie shook his head: "When I entered the door, I saluted you because you were the Duke of the Sui Dynasty. This is the rule. Although I am not as good as the Duke, I still have the title of First-Class Marquis and a As for the military position of a general, don’t the people in the Duke’s Mansion even understand the rules? Did they look down on me because they didn’t salute me when they saw me? Or can they not follow the rules of the Sui Dynasty now?”
Chen Yongfu's expression changed, and anger almost burst out from his eyes.
"I've heard that people who pass on poems and books to their families pay the most attention to etiquette. My lord, it must be the same in your family, right?"
Fang Jie asked with a smile.
Chen Yongfu wanted to have a fit, but Zhong Xin pulled his clothes from under the table. He snorted coldly and said to the old man, "Greetings to General Fang!"
The old man stood up with a cold face and cupped his fists: "I have seen General Fang."
Fang Jie glanced at him: "You have worked in the Duke's house for more than ten years, do you still understand the rules of the Sui Dynasty? You are just a servant, and in your capacity... you will kneel when you see me."
There was a crackling sound, which was actually the bone sound of the old man's clenched fist.
"Don't kneel?"
Fang Jie's tone was serious: "On Suzaku Mountain, I remember a saying that I said clearly. If local people don't obey the rules, Mr. Governor, don't blame me for following the rules. Then I don't mind teaching your servants... what the rules are."
