Li Li didn't seem to expect that the topic would involve him.
Faced with this problem, I let out a cold sneer from the bottom of my heart.
He said quietly: "I didn't start contacting enlightenment until I was sixteen..."
There is no need to say more about the rest.
However, Shen Tang is an outlier and doesn’t understand what’s wrong with her age. In her opinion, it’s too late to be enlightened at the age of sixteen, but with her strength and skills here, she won’t be able to cross the threshold of martial courage, right? At most Achievements are not as high as building a foundation from childhood.
"Sixteen years old? Six years too late. It's really a pity..." Qi Shan knew from her micro-expression that she didn't understand, so he explained, "The prerequisite for condensing literary heart and courage is to understand the Qi of heaven and earth and draw Qi. Enter the body and open up the elixir palace. The younger you are, the easier it is to feel the 'qi', but it is not easy when you are older. It is generally believed that you can't feel it after the age of ten..."
Shen Tang felt that there was a big problem with this statement.
She said: "Isn't this right? When the Thief Star came to the world, most of the first batch of people who condensed their literary heart and courage were between twenty and fifty. How did they do it? It makes no sense for them at that time Yes, but people nowadays can’t do it, right?”
Qishan's eyes were complicated and he said: "It has something to do with the national seal."
Shen Tang was confused: "Another national seal?"
"Um."
Shen Tang asked: "What is this statement?"
I don’t know what kind of medicine Qi Shan took recently. He basically answered whatever Shen Tang asked. He rarely showed off his words.
"This statement is not generally accepted by the general public. I heard it from a gentleman - he said that the scholars and warriors at that time either held high positions or held great power and were often the confidants of the lord. Therefore, they accumulated the civil and military skills accumulated over many years in office. Their luck helped them achieve success in a matter of seconds. I think this explanation is very reasonable."
Shen Tang heard another unfamiliar word.
"Luck in civil and military affairs? What is that?"
"A kind of power that is transformed by the national seal absorbing the energy of heaven and earth. As the name suggests, civil servants practice literary fortune, and military officers practice martial arts, which are similar to civil and military qi. The difference is that civil qi and martial qi are cultivated by individuals, while civil and military qi are cultivated by individuals. The number of converted national seals depends on the achievements of civil and military officers during their term of office." Seeing Shen Tang's curious and surprised look, Qishan's black eyes seemed to have a fleeting glimmer, and he was quite amused, "This is very strangeness?"
"Indeed, it sounds weird..." Shen Tang opened and closed his mouth twice before holding back a sentence. Combined with Wen Xinwu's fantasy world view setting, the two seemed to be very harmonious. He muttered, "Being an official is not easy. , not only assess KPIs, but also practice..."
Even if there are twenty-four hours in a day, it is not enough.
Qishan laughed: "Whether it is literary heart or martial courage, both require a lot of time and energy to practice. Once you stop, you will stagnate. As an official or a general in the court, most of the day will be occupied with government and military affairs. How can there be any extra energy to practice if they are squeezed out? If serving as an official will be harmful and useless, why are those scholars and warriors so enthusiastic about becoming an official? "
Shen Tang: "..."
Good guy, it turns out that it can still be explained this way.
Officials and generals can cultivate civil and military luck, as well as the luck and blessings of the national seal. Together, they can cultivate much faster and stronger than ordinary people in the wild. In addition, there are many invisible benefits.
Think about it, if it is not profitable, who would waste a lot of time in cultivation, using the money to buy cabbage, doing the job of selling [white] powder? What is it for? The monarch is not easy to serve, and there are too many secular affairs. ,Picture three melons and two dates’ meager salary?
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people who are willing to work for free and work crazy overtime for 996 hours, just for their ideals, to practice their own "morality", to serve the people of the world, and to bring peace to the world... But after all, they are only a minority, and the ones who spend the most time in the world are ordinary people.
If you become an official, you will practice quickly, you will get a salary, status, rights, and reputation... It is no wonder that you want to get into officialdom.
Shen Tang's mind was spinning rapidly: "In other words, if Li Li is a general, even if he is old, he can still gain courage?"
Qishan replied: "The theory is correct."
Li Li looked at the little rich man riding on the back of the black-faced man and asked, "Are you making fun of me?"
"Why is it sarcastic? As the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times. With Li Li's strength and ability, he will definitely be successful if he joins the army, right?" Shen Tang said this sincerely, "Since you can't cultivate your martial courage by yourself after you are ten years old, This is also a way out.”
Zhai Le shook his head and sighed: "Brother Shen, things are not that easy. Ordinary people in the army can at most be a corps commander, or even a commander. Du Bo, who leads a hundred people, must be a low-ranking official from the beginning. These low-ranking officials are still Most of them are the general's personal confidants..."
That meager martial luck is simply not enough to gather a martial courage. Unless you can live and die on the battlefield several times, make great achievements and be promoted exceptionally, and then work hard for a few more years and make meritorious deeds again and again. It may be possible to achieve the goal.
Shen Tang was stunned when he heard this: "Is this so difficult?"
No wonder Li Li asked her if she was being sarcastic.
It does sound quite yin and yang.
Qishan: "Because it is too difficult, I basically default to the fact that I have not practiced martial arts and tempered my body for more than ten years, and I will never be destined for this path for the rest of my life."
Shen Tang said softly: "I didn't know about this before..."
But these words were not meant for Qi Shan, but for Li Li on the side. Shen Tang then asked another question that he really wanted to ask: "Then, I still have doubts - the abolished Wen Can the heart be restored by this? The military needs strong courage to fight for strength. This is understandable, but officialdom is more about resourcefulness and a confrontation without the sight of swords and swords. Isn’t it..."
Qi Shan: "Generally not. When Wen Xin is abolished, it is most likely that he has received the 'death penalty of breaking the house'. In order to prevent the perpetrator from having a chance to retaliate in the future, the meridians will also be sealed to avoid future troubles. To say the least, even if this The road is indeed open, but the threshold for becoming an official is only higher than joining the army, and ability alone is not enough."
Shen Tang was disappointed after hearing this, but she also noticed that Qishan said "generally not", which meant that there were exceptions?
Qi Shan seemed to know what Shen Tang was thinking: "There are exceptions, but few people will take this path. The risk is too high."
"Tell me quickly, which way?"
Qishan answered the wrong question: "You have to pay for it with your life."
"How to change?"
Qi Shan understood: "Youli is asking for Chu Wuhui? How could he not know something that I know? Chu Wuhui knows it well. He will naturally change it on the day he wants to change it. If he hasn't done anything yet, it means that the time has not come yet or that I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Shen Tang curled his lips and started to lie again.
Zhai Le reminded her in a low voice: "Brother Shen, if you are curious, just read the 'Biographies of Famous Officials' and you will find out. But as Mr. Qi said, I also think this path is unreliable."
Shen Tang heard this and stopped asking further questions.
I just wrote down this "Biography of Famous Ministers and Famous Persons".

Wow, thank you to the editor, thank you. After yesterday’s feedback, Qidian has processed it, and the monthly ticket red envelope of 5,000 has also been distributed. The empress has obtained 10,000 monthly tickets with double monthly tickets, hahahaha (monthly ticket lottery next month) If you can draw it ten times, even if you have a guarantee of 100 each time, it will still be 1,000 soft girl coins, which is a profit!)
