I have to say that Wang Shi is very accurate about his son, that is, he is a very sturdy little monkey who only cares about eating and not fighting.
Things like golden hoops are made for "discipline" and are not harmful, but they will cause numbness and itching starting from the scalp and extending to the whole body.
To put it simply, it would be very uncomfortable.
Of course, the golden hoop will not always make people feel uncomfortable, it just serves a purpose similar to a "ruler". It is a must-have way to deal with a monkey like Wang Nian.
But Wang Nian was so good that he felt uncomfortable at the time and forgot about it. Even after school, he still thought the golden hoop looked good. He ran and jumped to show it off in front of Wang Lanping at home. He also said that after having this thing, he would definitely become the second brother of the Zhang family.
"Straight A student"!
If Wang Nian hadn't groaned in discomfort from time to time during class, Zhang Yan wouldn't be sure whether the object he refined was effective.
However, Zhang Yan also understood that learning things cannot be forced all the way by dead things like golden hoops. Not only would Xiao Shitou not be able to bear it, he himself did not want to use this method for a long time. Let Xiao Shitou know that it would be dangerous if he did not take it seriously.
It's enough to be punished, but you still need to cultivate interest in more diverse ways.
These are not necessarily Zhang Yan’s own ideas, but they are all summed up by himself. When he was studying in the past, there were teachers and masters in them.
For example, today Zhang Yan told Wang Nian a story about the Foolish Old Man who moved mountains.
There are two meanings. The first one is to let Wang Nian understand what the spirit of "perseverance" and "not admitting defeat" means. Although this spirit is not necessarily desirable in many cases, it is perfectly suitable when it comes to learning.
.
Another meaning is that behind Yu Gong's move of the mountains, it involves an important place in the earth's legend: Heaven. The end of the story is that Heaven was moved by Yu Gong's spirit and sent a giant spirit god to move the mountains away, solving the problem that troubled the local area.
It is a big problem for residents to travel inconveniently.
"What is Heaven? Who are the Giant Spirit Gods?" This question was asked on the spot by Wang Nian, who was curious and fascinated by stories, as Zhang Yan expected, with a pair of big watery eyes filled with excitement.
It was full of longing and surprise. In his little mind, he couldn't imagine how that giant spirit god could move huge mountains away with just one hand. The Xu Wusheng who often appeared in the novel was not that powerful.
ah!
"The Giant Spirit God is a fairy, and Heaven is the kingdom of fairies where many gods gather together."
"Then what is a fairy?"
"Shenxian" is the collective term for "gods" and "immortals". Those who practice the Shinto way and transcend the five elements and do not enter reincarnation, and are in the middle of the Tao, are "gods" and can enjoy the incense of the world. "Immortal" is the way to practice magic. After practicing the way to the body,
Monks who are transcendent and do not enter reincarnation and achieve middle status can enjoy great blessings in heaven and earth..."
"Then what is the way of spiritual cultivation? What is the way of cultivation and the way of physical cultivation? What are we cultivating?"
The smart kid didn't need anyone to remind him, so he naturally followed the order of Zhang Yan's words and started exploring. Because of this, the enlightenment Zhang Yan wanted to give Wang Nian in the first lesson was truly achieved.
Real place.
In the Wild Sky Realm, there is only the word "god", and it is the god of the demon race. On the human race side, there is only "ancestor" and no god, let alone the concept of "immortal".
When Wang Nian was young, it was the time when his cognition was the most open. The concepts of "gods" mentioned by Zhang Yan might just be a funny story elsewhere, but they would have a different meaning in Wang Nian's heart.
.
"What we practice is the simultaneous advancement of martial arts and Shinto. It can be collectively called "Tao Sect" methods."
"Then can we transcend in the future? Can we become gods like the Giant Spirit God?"
"It is possible, but whether it will succeed in the end depends on each person's practice and luck. Just like how many warriors are there in the world? Who can reach the level of Martial Saint Xu Fengyang?" Zhang Yan looked at himself with a smile.
The seeds of Taoism slowly took root in my mind.
"I'm not afraid of difficulties! Just like Yu Gong, I can also practice bit by bit, and one day I can be as powerful as the Giant Spirit God!" Wang Nian raised his head and categorically stated a small goal of his.
Zhang Yan nodded and did not attack the other party. He was not sure about becoming an immortal, let alone speculated on Wang Nian's future. However, as a teacher, he still had something to say.
"The goal can be lofty, but the road must be walked step by step and slowly. Don't you want the Paper Man Talisman? Then lay a solid foundation with your heart first, and then follow me to learn the basic skills. Once you step into the Qi Entraining Realm, you can
Start learning the talismans, and then you can learn the paper talismans."
"Um!"
It has to be said that Zhang Yan's teaching of both strictness and leniency is very suitable for Wang Nian. This kid is strong-skinned, not afraid of being punished, and at the same time he is smart. Even if there is a small moment of desertion in a class,
But in general, he still didn't forget what Zhang Yan taught him. Soon he could start to learn the locations of acupoints all over the body and the beginning of the exercises. At this moment, Wang Nian truly touched the threshold of Taoism.
According to Zhang Yan's estimation, Wang Nian should be able to enter the Qi-entraining realm within a month. The reason why it is relatively slow is because it is difficult to understand the technique. First of all, it is obscure and difficult to understand, and secondly, it involves many meridians,
Acupuncture points, organ sensing, Vipassana cognition methods and other knowledge. I learned it while teaching. The progress has been so fast. I can see that this child Wang Nian is not only talented in cultivation, but also very smart.
However, Zhang Yan's time has been squeezed out a lot. In the past, he could wander around during the day, or spend time in the house refining weapons and elixirs, but now he spends at least half the day here in the academy. But thanks to the fact that he is no longer there.
I need sleep. Although my time is occupied, my practice will not be neglected.
The amount of spiritual energy required after entering the God-Returning Realm has increased exponentially. Even if Zhang Yan has changed to new techniques and his breathing efficiency is better than before, it is still unrealistic to achieve a visible improvement in his cultivation level. Even if he has never stepped into the realm, it is still unrealistic.
It has been several months since I entered the state of return to God, but the increase in cultivation is almost imperceptible. This is the sensory experience after the pool turned into a lake: the cultivation is too slow.
On the contrary, the progress of weapon refining and elixir refining is very fast. Although the Peiyuan Dan has not yet become a pill, it has been able to successfully complete the complete set of Peiyuan Dan formula. It is estimated that after more than a dozen furnaces are refined, the pill will be ready.
.
Weapon refining is even more gratifying. I don’t know if it’s because it’s still in the early stages, but Zhang Yan feels that he’s making rapid progress. Nowadays, he doesn’t have to work hard to make low-grade magical weapons. Moreover, small-sized magical weapons can already be shrunk to an inch.
.For this reason, he would go to the jewelry store almost every few days and ask someone to help him leave some small-sized longevity stones for him.
With a small longevity stone, you can make exquisite and compact magical objects, which can be used by family members and take into account the beauty. Moreover, the smaller the magical object, it also means that Zhang Yan’s craftsmanship is better, and he can engrave on the surface of a small magical object.
More magic circles can achieve the diversity of magic weapon power.
