Zhou Wen laughed so hard in the car that he almost lost his breath. The various bad things he encountered in Nanjing in the past few days, the intrigues with the people in the military academy, the dissatisfaction and sadness towards the 19th Route Army and other negative emotions all followed him. This burst of hearty laughter was swept away.
Of course he knew that Zhang Xiaoping's breakthrough was not as easy as just sleeping. Without the solid foundation laid by Ziqing Taoist, without his own talent and hard work, without the help of Prajna Qi, without the hardships of life and death he had gone through, How could he reach such a high level of martial arts just a few days after turning eighteen.
What Zhou Wen wants to know now is what kind of expression Brother Shan Zi will have when he learns the news, and whether he will go to sleep for a few days before talking.
You know, among the brothers of the mercenary group, the four masters who were stuck in front of the Qi Jinjing threshold were Zhang Xiaoping, Gao Xiaoshan, Xu Dacheng and Ti Jing. Among them, Gao Xiaoshan was the one who had been stuck for the longest time.
Without the presence of Zhou Wen, Zhang Xiaoping and Ti Jing have orthodox martial arts inheritance, so it is hard to say what the future will be like, but Gao Xiaoshan and Xu Dacheng basically cannot achieve Qi Jin no matter how hard they train. In this state, even entering the stage of vitality is already an incredible achievement.
Otherwise, why, like Shaolin Temple, a martial arts master that has been passed down for thousands of years, cannot produce a few Qi Jin masters in each generation? It is because the Qi Jin state cannot be achieved simply by hard training. It involves personal talent and hard work. , profound and orthodox martial arts inheritance, chance, state of mind, vision and other factors are all indispensable. In the end, a little bit of luck may be needed.
For the brothers in the mercenary group, Zhou Wen's appearance was an opportunity. With the help of his Prajna Qi, basically anyone with a foundation in martial arts can easily enter the Qi Qi stage, which is beyond the reach of most martial arts practitioners.
In addition, Taoist priests Miaohua and Ziqing appeared because of Zhou Wen. They represent the two most profound and profound orthodox martial arts systems in China, the external martial arts system and the internal martial arts system. With their guidance and teaching from a high position, everyone can complete the task. Overcoming the shortcomings in inheritance, vision and mentality, it is like the frog in the well finally jumped out of the well and saw the magnificent scenery outside.
That's why four people entered the bottleneck of Qi Jin state one after another, and Zhang Xiaoping stood out after experiencing the catastrophe of life and death and broke through the state.
Among these four people, according to Zhou Wen and Miaohua's previous estimates, Zhang Xiaoping and Ti Jing are the most likely to break through first. Because both of them are very talented, and they both have the most orthodox martial arts foundation since childhood, and their temperaments are in line with the mentality and artistic conception of their respective sects, but who comes first depends on luck and Chance.
Next is Xu Dacheng. This guy is actually very talented in martial arts. He has been overwhelming Zhou Wen before Zhou Wen traveled through time. Moreover, Dacheng has always been very nervous and never hides his thoughts. He likes to show off his face and is very thick-skinned when he fails. (Actually, it’s because the person has a good psychological quality) and he will build a ladder for himself to go downhill.
It is said that there is no obstacle in the heart, and punching comes naturally. Such a character is more in line with the natural way in martial arts training, and it is relatively easy to break through the situation.
But Gao Xiaoshan is different. He has been mature and stable since he was a child, and has a strong sense of responsibility, which means he has to take care of too many things. Although he never wastes time practicing martial arts, too many distractions will inevitably affect his state of mind. What's more, Zhou Wenren is in Nanjing now, and Gao Xiaoshan has to take care of a lot of things in Shanxi, so he may not be able to guarantee the time for martial arts training.
So Zhou Wen felt a little sorry for Brother Shan Zi, but he had no choice. As the saying goes, people can't help themselves in the world.
The greater the responsibility, the greater the sacrifice. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about Zhou Wen. If he didn't have the prajna energy in him, even if he came through time, even if he met his senior brother Miaohua and master Ziqing, he In the end, he will be the most difficult person to break the mirror, because there are too many things on his mind, so it is naturally impossible to immerse himself in martial arts wholeheartedly.
Moreover, it seems that Zhou Wen is easier to enter the Qi Jin Mirror than Zhang Xiaoping. In fact, it is caused by many accidental factors. The biggest contribution is of course due to the Qi of Prajna. The second one is that Taoist Zi Qing could only practice hard because of being poisoned. The pure inner energy was transferred to Zhou Wen, and it was precisely the prajna energy that was best integrated with other skills. This led to Zhou Wen healing himself into the Qi Jin Mirror in one go.
But after all, he did not come from hard work step by step. Compared with Miaohua, Zhou Wen always felt that he was a little less mellow and satisfactory. It was not until he experienced a near-death situation that his state of mind changed, and he really felt that Taoist Priest Ziqing's gift has been completely digested.
That's why he felt that he was comparable to his senior brother Miaohua. This was a double improvement in his state of mind and body.
At this time, Zhou Wen's heart was filled with the joy brought by Zhang Xiaoping's broken mirror. He said happily: "Drive quickly, drive quickly, let's go home and have a good time. Xiaoping, you can start drinking too." Let us brothers and sisters have a few drinks to celebrate."
Zhang Xiaoping said with a smile: "The family has been prepared for a long time. Sister Ying knew that you were coming back, so she started making arrangements early this morning. Oh, by the way, the family has hired several servants, all of whom were selected by Sister Ying herself. Among all the honest country people, only the cook was recommended by Uncle Wan, and the food he cooks is really delicious."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Don't say this in front of Old Uncle Wu and the others in the future, or they will scold you to death."
"How dare I? If they are here, it must be because they make it delicious. Even if it doesn't taste good, it must taste good."
Zhang Xiaoping thought for a while and then said regretfully: "It would be great if Ah Jing and Tieniu came too. At home, they can let Master Lu cook whatever they want."
Presumably the Master Lu mentioned by Zhang Xiaoping is the new chef.
Zhou Wen smiled and scolded: "You are really going to tire out the chef to death for the sake of your brothers!"
Then he sighed and said: "Xiaoping, there are too many things that we need to do. I'm afraid the brothers will have to be separated for a while, but there will always be a time to reunite. You must also be prepared. You will also go to Nanjing after a while. .”
"That's great, senior brother, you don't know, I'm so used to following you in doing things. During your absence, it seems like something is missing all day long."
"Go, go, go, I'm getting goosebumps. If you want to go to Nanjing to find your Yaqin, don't do this to me. But having said that, if you go to Nanjing for a long time, you won't miss your Yaqin. ?”
Zhang Xiaoping's face immediately turned into a red apple, and he hesitated and said: "Nanjing and Shanghai are not far apart."
Zhou Wen looked at his embarrassed look and laughed again.
