After sending Zhou Qing away, Lu Yuan slowly adjusted his mood after experiencing discomfort for a few days.
Man is truly a creature of habit.
He can quickly adapt to having one more person around him, and he can also quickly adapt to having one less person around him.
Of course, this is just a physical and psychological habit.
Whether you can emotionally adjust and accept it really depends on the individual.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan has read Taoist scriptures for so many years and has been friends with Taoist friends Qi Yun and others for a long time, so his own mental state is still very deep.
Now a little separation doesn't bother him at all.
Only thinking about the possibility of life and death parting in the future makes me feel a little more emotional.
…
People have to live their lives.
Although the good apprentice is gone, Lu Yuan's plan must still be implemented.
Since no one can do it for him, he might as well do it himself.
However, because there was no one to assist him, Lu Yuan did not choose among all the sergeants as originally planned.
Instead, among those who already have a foundation of internal strength, select those who are young and have no teachers as their training targets.
As a result, the number of people to choose from is greatly reduced.
After all, there were only about twenty of the five hundred soldiers in the army who had developed their internal strength several times. After several more screenings, only five people were left who met Lu Yuan's requirements.
These five are all people in their twenties who have practiced a basic Kung Fu, but have no masters.
Lu Yuan accepted them as registered disciples, and then each passed on the first-level mental skills of Liuyun Palm, and then sent them to study and practice on their own.
His requirements for these registered disciples are not high. They can reach the second-rate realm in twenty years.
These disciples can also squeeze more and let them recruit more disciples to strengthen the master's reputation.
Then twenty years later, it was the date Lu Yuan chose to mark the Iron Sword Gate.
At that time, as the master, he, as the leader, brings five second-rate disciples, dozens of third-rate disciples, and a bunch of bad friends, and he can barely defeat a dozen Iron Sword Sects.
As for Zhou Qing?
To make a career in the world, you have to risk your life to do so.
Lu Yuan was not sure whether his good apprentice would survive twenty years in the world.
Therefore, this plan to attack Iron Sword Gate did not include him.
But even if he loses one disciple, Lu Yuan still believes that with his current strength and twenty years of accumulation, he will definitely be able to win the Iron Sword Sect.
"It doesn't matter if we can't win it. The worst we can do is wait another twenty years."
Lu Yuan looked indifferent: "When my disciples and grandchildren grow up, they will bring dozens of second-rate soldiers to kill them. I believe they won't be able to take down the Iron Sword Sect."
As an immortal, I always have such a flexible bottom line when it comes to time planning.
He didn't believe it.
If you continue to endure it, you will not be able to survive the decline of the Iron Sword Sect.
…
After passing down the technique, Lu Yuan took care of the five named disciples.
Apart from setting aside one day a month to answer their questions and give lectures, I didn’t pay too much attention to them.
Having just realized the problem emotionally, he is slowly correcting his behavior and thinking, and starting to think according to the logic of the immortal.
Don't put too much emotion into everything, so as not to hurt your body and heart.
Everything should be viewed in the long term.
Things that cannot be solved in a short time can be extended to ten, twenty, or hundreds of years to solve. Time can erase everything.
Lu Yuan already felt that his mentality in the past few years had become somewhat unbalanced.
From the original carefree life, he gradually became a little eager for quick success.
A dignified immortal actually began to pursue short-term strength growth like ordinary people. This was really a waste of time.
"Did my feelings affect me?"
Lu Yuan meditated back and forth in his mind, kept examining, and finally came to the conclusion: "Because I helped Doctor Zhou and Xiao Qing, I became eager to solve the Iron Sword Sect.
And because of the turmoil in these years, I began to worry about Brother Sun, and eventually encountered the threat of the Five Poison Sect.
It is the constant emergence of these dangers that makes me feel stressed and anxious and want to strengthen my strength. "
If you think about it carefully, his changes in the past few years are all caused by feelings.
I changed because I cared.
Otherwise, according to Lu Yuan's temperament, faced with these troubles and dangers, he would have found a place to hide long ago, and then after decades or hundreds of years, when he had mastered his martial arts, he would come out to take revenge.
How could it be like this?
Even though he knew that there was a threat from the Five Poison Sect, he still stayed in Wugang County and did not leave.
"But even though I know the reasons that disturb my mood, I still don't want to change."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
There is something to be done and something not to be done in everything.
In such a difficult and dangerous time, it is impossible for him to abandon his friends and fly away to only care about one person.
Fortunately, with my own strength now, I am able to face most dangers and protect my friends and myself.
But despite this, Lu Yuan became more determined to separate his feelings.
Now for the original intention, you can take some risks with your friends.
But in the future, it will not be like this.
Otherwise, even an immortal cannot guarantee that there will be no overturning.
"Having feelings within yourself but being ruthless to all things is my way."
Lu Yuan flipped through the Taoist scriptures and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the various deeds of the immortal family above.
It is said that immortals are also immortal and live as long as heaven.
Did these pioneers, after becoming immortals, go through the same mental journey as themselves?
With this resonance, Lu Yuan studied the Taoist Scriptures and was able to understand its true meaning more and more.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the year came again, in December, as Wugang County returned to stability, the county also became prosperous again.
After the county government sent people to inspect, they recognized Sun Siwen's achievements, and then during the year-end rankings, they upgraded his rank by one rank and promoted him to a seventh-rank county magistrate.
Even Lu Yuan, because of his strength and achievements in quelling the chaos, was promoted by the county government to the seventh rank.
It's just that he still serves as a county captain and has not been promoted.
Lu Yuan didn't pay too much attention to the improvement of officials' grades.
He had no intention of becoming an official, and the reason why he became an official was mainly for Sun Siwen.
Of course, now there is also the desire to make a fortune.
After all, in just a few months, he had earned 130,000 taels of silver. This was really only possible through robbery as an official.
However, others become officials and make money for the purpose of extravagant enjoyment, wealth and glory.
But after Lu Yuan got rich, although he also had the intention to do so, he did not put too much energy into it and only enjoyed it occasionally.
He focused more of his energy and financial resources on improving his strength.
Among them, the biggest part is spending money on pharmaceuticals.
