Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

After leaving Abbot Xie Xin's room, Zheng Shu happened to meet Xiao Zizai, who was sitting under a tree with his arms folded on his way back to his own room.

"Brother Xiao, why are you staying here alone?"

"I don't feel comfortable in that kind of place. What I like is the passing of life, not the life that has died." Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses expressionlessly.

"That's it..."

After Zheng Shu said this, he didn't know what to say, and there was silence between the two of them for a while.

After a long time, Zheng Shu spoke again.

"Let's talk?"

"good."

The two came to Zheng Shu's room, sat cross-legged on the futon, and looked at each other.

"Would you like some fruit?" Zheng Shu took a piece of fruit from the fruit tree in the corner of his room and handed it to Xiao Zizai.

Xiao Zizi nodded silently, but did not take the fruit from Zheng Shu's hand, but stared at Zheng Shu's hand.

"Dragon claw hand and flower-twisting finger, and the fire is very deep. Where did you learn it?"

"Of course I learned it when I saw you using it, Brother Xiao." Zheng Shu raised his hand to take a picture of another fruit, touched it with his hand a little and started to nibble on it.

"Did you learn it just by looking at it..." Even someone as strong as Xiao Zizai was silenced by Zheng Shu's words.

He didn't even think that Zheng Shu had lied to him. Judging from the information investigated by the company, all of the other party's schedule was almost transparent, and there was no time to go to the Shaolin Temple to study secretly.

The only opportunity to come into contact with these two special skills was probably when I met him in Biyou Village.

If someone else said that he could learn the seventy-two Shaolin stunts at a glance, Xiao Zizai would definitely be willing to cut off that person's mouth, but the Zheng Shu he was facing now was a geek who independently developed a resurrection ritual.

Xiao Zizai even felt that only Zheng Shu had such talent, it would be possible to develop such technology.

"You are much more talented than me in practicing Taoism."

"Really? I think I may not be as strong as you think. Among other things, when I was practicing recently, I felt upset and distracted. Moreover, when I was practicing, my anger became stronger and stronger. Can’t suppress it.”

This is why Zheng Shu suddenly burst into such rage after being blocked by someone on the road.

Because unknowingly, he had accumulated considerable anger during his practice.

"oh?"

After Xiao Zizai looked Zheng Shu up and down, an indescribable smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"I see, I probably know what your reason is. I have also gone through this stage before, or I am still going through this stage until now."

"Please advise!" Zheng Shu straightened his chest and made a gesture of listening.

"Actually, I don't have any special advice. If you are willing to listen to my nagging, that's fine."

Under Xiao Zizai's slow explanation, Zheng Shu also roughly understood what his problem was.

Practitioners in the past compared the heart and lungs to monkeys, which control the heart and mind and belong to Yang.

The liver and kidneys are compared to pigs, responsible for the seven emotions and six desires, and belong to yin.

The five elements of the spleen and stomach belong to earth, which is the body that reconciles yin and yang. It is called the "sand monk".

When normal practitioners reach this stage, they have just reached the stage where they need to pay attention to their own soul.

As a practitioner, you should naturally avoid "trusting the horse and letting the reins" as much as possible, because Xin Yuan is best at controlling the "Yuan Shen", or "Yima"

Therefore, in this realm, practitioners generally choose to polish the mind, which is the so-called "mind ape and mind horse".

Under normal circumstances, practitioners in this realm only need to strengthen their minds, strengthen their bodies, and practice unhurriedly. Whether they focus on will cultivation or physical cultivation, they can eventually overcome this bottleneck.

"But we are different." Xiao Zizai looked at his palms, as if he was recalling the feelings of the person he just killed.

"People like us have never had a mental disorder from the beginning. After all, there are only two outcomes for patients like us, one is complete indulgence, and the other is like you and me, suppressing instincts as much as possible. But no matter which one of these two choices, people like us will be very 'firm' in our minds."

Xiao Zizi paused for a moment, and Zheng Shu couldn't help but laugh:

"That's right. After all, for people like us, the only ambition we need is to find ways to satisfy our own desires, or to find ways to restrain our desires. There is no extra energy to think about more things."

At this point, Zheng Shu already understood what his current problem was.

The so-called "monkey mind", to put it bluntly, is actually because cultivation is too difficult and depressing, so practitioners who reach this state will be seduced by other desires and temptations and lose the will to continue to make progress.

At this stage, practitioners are strong enough and can gain a high enough status among the crowd, so they will be exposed to more temptations.

For example, when you go out and are respected as a master or a real person, you can get wealth that ordinary people can't get in their lifetime by making random moves. And those people who are aloof to ordinary people will lower their posture and be respectful when they see them. salute.

In addition to these superficial temptations, there are countless other hidden temptations, which are really difficult to resist for practitioners who have been training themselves hard since childhood.

At this time, they need to polish their minds and strengthen their will to practice.

If you pass this level, you can take your practice a step further. If you fail to do so, you can only become a "master" among ordinary people and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.

That's right, even if you can't get through this level, with the strength of a cultivator, you can still live a life of glory and wealth.

This is the biggest trap and obstacle in training the mind. Cultivation is a path of rapid advancement and retreat. Strangers from some countries even call this path the "path of pain."

Abandoning the glory and wealth that is within easy reach and continuing a life that is like self-abuse, those who can do this can be called a freak even among strangers.

"From this aspect, psychopaths like us actually have an advantage. After all, we have a firm enough goal from the beginning." A dangerous smile appeared on Xiao Zizai's face.

"Ha! That's right!" Zheng Shu laughed dumbly.

Just like the omnisexual "White Owl" Liang Ting who appeared in the original work, this guy is an absolute evil man who commits murder, arson, rape, and robbery. However, he is also a man who embraces both institutions and talismans. Grandmaster.

The main reason why such a villain is able to study hard for his own strength is because he has a clear "goal" from the beginning.

At the very beginning, his goal was to find the "desire" he wanted. This firm will even prompted him to continue practicing and eventually became a great master.

And after finding what he wanted, this evil man who had taken countless lives could even give up his own life for it.

"So what we need to pay attention to from the very beginning is not the monkey, but the 'pig' that has always been unknown, but has caused huge trouble to ourselves!"

The so-called pig refers to Shui Hai, which governs the liver and kidneys. This thing usually also specializes in the seven emotions and six desires.

"Even ordinary practitioners would not choose to let this pig lead the horse. Whether the horse is given to Xin Yuan to hold the reins or to Monk Sha to hold the reins, but once it is led by the pig, which represents the seven emotions and six desires, When it comes to horse reins, it means going crazy."

"Wait a minute! I have a question." Zheng Shu suddenly interrupted Xiao Zizai when he heard this, "I have observed through my internal vision method, and it seems that there is no inner demon in my heart?"

"Is it Quanzhen's internal vision? It's really good. Like the warlock's internal vision, it's a good way to resist inner demons. It can turn the originally invisible and intangible inner demons into concrete images, allowing you to carry out actions in the spiritual space. confrontation."

Xiao Zizai adjusted his glasses. The light flashing on his glasses seemed to be mocking Zheng Shu's naivety.

"But that refers to ordinary people. For patients like us, this kind of thing is of no use at all! The so-called inner demon is originally a part of oneself. Even if it is manifested through these two methods, it is essentially the left hand and the right hand. quarrel.

And for people like us... let's put it this way, if we really use these two methods to re-embody another self, then we are the ones with the inner demon! "

"I probably understand. It seems that we can only use stupid methods." Zheng Shu looked at the beam on the top and sighed helplessly.

"Stupid methods also have their advantages. Although the methods of contemplation, concentration, and tranquility passed down by our ancestors are troublesome and painful to practice, and difficult to improve, and they will not have much effect if you improve them, they are indeed sufficient in controlling the seven emotions and six desires. it works."

Xiao Zizai raised his finger and pointed at himself, with a rare look of pride on his originally expressionless face.

"Back then, my master thought I wouldn't be able to hold on for long, but relying on the insights Lao Dou found for me and appropriate venting, I managed to hold on until now."

Looking at the thoughtful Zheng Shu, Xiao Zizai stood up from the futon, straightened his clothes, and prepared to leave.

"For people like us, it is an inevitable future to be entangled with inner demons for a lifetime. If you think it is too difficult, it is better to give up as soon as possible."

"Give up? Forget it, I don't like such a cowardly statement. And brother Xiao, didn't you say that? Our ancestors have already prepared a solution for us!" Zheng Shu came back to his senses and looked at the man who was about to leave. Xiao Zizai's back.

"Oh? That's great. After all, it's a good thing for me to have a patient who can occasionally communicate about my condition."

Xiao Zizi smiled, opened the door and left. Zheng Shu, after thinking for a while, stood up and walked towards Daozang Hall.

Now that he already knows his problems and has a relatively clear solution, Zheng Shu naturally won't hesitate too much.

Even though this method is quite complicated and difficult to use, Zheng Shu has no shortage of time anyway, so he doesn't mind spending more time solving his own problems.

…

…

After Zheng Shu found a meditation practice in Baiyun Temple, he didn't take too many actions. In the next few days, like other disciples of Baiyun Temple, he quietly held various activities for the funeral of Elder Fang Dongtian. Such a ceremony.

A week later, Fang Dongtian's funeral ended successfully, and the guests who came to express their condolences also left one after another.

Zheng Shu said hello to his master, followed an employee of the bunker and left here, returning to the bunker.

"Daozhang Zheng, you are finally back. Director Zhao has been waiting for you."

As soon as he got off the car, Manager Wang came up to him and brought such news to Zheng Shu.

"Huh? Does Chairman Zhao have anything to do with me?"

"This...he didn't reveal it to us, but it seems that Lao Liao is also there, maybe just to express his gratitude to you."

Manager Wang scratched his head and seemed unclear.

"Liao Zhong? Released so soon? I thought Director Zhao was going to give him a severe lesson."

"Haha, Chen Duo's matter, if you don't look at the fact that Lao Liao was killed, overall the risk is relatively high, but it is not serious enough to imprison Lao Liao. Of course, the punishment this time is also quite Seriously, this guy probably won’t be able to be the person in charge of the company in the near future and will have to work in the bunker.”

Although Manager Wang looked quite gloating about his misfortune, Zheng Shu felt sincere happiness from his mental fluctuations. As a colleague who had worked with Liao Zhong for many years, he was also extremely surprised by Liao Zhong's resurrection.

Even secretly, he lamented more than once that fortunately he had perfectly completed the task assigned to him by his superiors to fully assist Zheng Shu.

If Zheng Shu's deduction of the resurrection circle was affected by his personal inference, then he would really regret it to death.

"Okay, Director Zhao is in the office now, so I'll go there first."

Zheng Shu waved his hand, ignoring Manager Wang who was enjoying himself, and walked towards the office very skillfully.

Zheng Shu had an intuition that if Zhao Fangxu came to him this time, he might be able to reveal why he trusted and supported him so much.

When I came to the office, the first thing I saw was the plaque above that said "No dirty words during working hours."

When Zheng Shu arrived, Zhao Fangxu was sitting in the main seat in the office, scolding Liao Zhong below until he couldn't raise his head.

In fact, Zheng Shu heard the curse from afar. It was not until he symbolically knocked on the door that the sound in the office stopped.

"Ahem, please come in."

"Director Zhao, do you have something to do with me?"

Looking at Zheng Shu who opened the door and walked in, even the high-ranking Zhao Fangxu immediately stood up from his seat and welcomed Zheng Shu in with a smile on his face.

"Come on, come on, Taoist Master Zheng, sit down, sit down first. Why are you standing there? Why don't you hurry up and make tea!" He turned to Liao Zhong, who was standing next to him, and shouted. Zhao Fangxu turned around again and reappeared. With that smiling face to welcome people.

"Director Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. I have a good relationship with Zhang Chulan. He also told me that you are a trustworthy elder. So don't worry. Since I have agreed to teach you, I will definitely not change my mind. .”

Zheng Shu felt a little uncomfortable watching someone as old as Zhao Fangxu "licking" himself while he was busy, so he got straight to the point very simply.

He had already talked with Zhao Fangxu before. After his resurrection array was confirmed to be effective, he could hand it over to the company and even provide one-on-one guidance to the study personnel sent by the company.

Of course, the premise is that the company will pay him enough "knowledge" as compensation.

This is the third purpose of Zheng Shu's plan: to gain enough knowledge through this magic circle.

Anyway, for Zheng Shu, the value of this magic circle is just that. Although it represents the summary of his own knowledge, it only represents the summary of knowledge.

If he wants to continue to strengthen himself, then he needs to obtain more knowledge.

As a company that is closely related to the country, Zheng Shu believes that this harvest will satisfy him enough.

"Master Zheng is so polite. Don't worry, of course I believe you. The first batch of information has been shipped here. Although it took a little time, it will definitely satisfy you."

Zhao Fangxu, who returned to the main seat of the office, glanced at Liao Zhong who was leaving, hesitated, and asked:

"The little Taoist priest said that he has a very good relationship with Zhang Chulan, so I wonder if you are willing to expose your resurrection circle this time because of..."

Although Zhao Fangxu didn't say it clearly, Zheng Shu understood it. He nodded and acknowledged Zhao Fangxu's idea.

"Part of the reason for exposing this resurrection circle is to take the pressure off Zhang Chulan. After all, this guy is too weak."

This is the fourth purpose of Zheng Shu's plan: to help Zhang Chulan, or Feng Baobao, share the pressure.

Of course, this purpose is not too clear, it can only be regarded as casual.

"Baby Feng is lucky to have friends like you. Old Xu should be able to rest in peace."

Zhao Fangxu sighed with emotion and leaned on the chair, looking much more relaxed.

"Thank you. By the way, Director Zhao, do you have any business with me this time?"

"Ah, yes, that's right." Zhao Fangxu sat upright with a serious expression on his face, "We may have helped you find your family."

"Oh...ah? What the hell?!"
