Gou on the road of longevity

Chapter 65 The Difference Between Dao and Art
All kinds of chores have been done, Ye Mingqi is ready to retreat and practice.

At this time, Ye Mingqi said to Che Qian: "Tomorrow, I'm going to go into seclusion, and I'll leave things up to you sir."

Che Qian nodded, and said sincerely: "It's okay, my lord, just retreat. Other things, I have it!"

At this time, Che Qian didn't pause, but went on: "My lord, the exercises practiced in the foundation building period are basically divided into two types: Dao and Shu. What do you think about it, lord?"

Although Ye Mingqi worshiped his teacher for his knowledge, in fact, Che Qian taught Ye Mingqi a lot of knowledge.

"What's the difference, sir." Ye Mingqi took a sip of tea and asked pretendingly.

Che Qian looked at Ye Mingqi, and said seriously: "The Qi training period, using exercises, driving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, refining and storing it to improve physical fitness, is also the entry stage of cultivating immortals. At this stage, all sects are similar, there is not much difference. There is a difference. However, at the foundation building stage, the aura liquefies, strengthens the physical body, nourishes the mind and consciousness, and opens up the spiritual consciousness. At this stage, there is a difference."

Che Qian went on to say: "The foundation building period is also the difference between Taoism and art, that is, the difference between practitioners. Taoist practitioners are practicing skills and understanding the way of heaven, and don't care about external lethality. During the foundation building period, there is not much attack. Power. However, when a cultivator breaks through to the alchemy stage, or a higher level of cultivation, the cultivator can grasp the source and use the power of the source to control the enemy, which has extraordinary lethality. The cultivator is the pursuit of a powerful The attack power is similar to that of a sword cultivator, who enters the Tao with a sword, and has a very large lethality in the early stage. However, in the later stage, the number of strong sword cultivators is far less than that of the cultivators. In fact, the cultivators and practitioners , When it comes to the legendary fairy world, there is not much difference. However, after the Nascent Soul, the power of cultivators is greater than that of immortal cultivators."

"Why is it that a strong swordsman is better than a non-cultivator. I clearly think that a swordsman is very powerful." Ye Mingqi directly put forward a different opinion.

"My lord, the swordsman has three major shortcomings. First, he prefers the strong to the unyielding. For many injustices, the swordsman will usually draw his sword, and the natural death rate is much higher. How can there be so many people with great luck? Against the wind, most of the swordsmen were surrounded and killed. Moreover, the swordsmen broke through in danger, and naturally left internal injuries in the contest or battle. If they don't fight, they can't improve their swords. If they don’t like this, they might as well not choose the way of swordsmanship. In the end, swordsmen practice to the end, and one person can single-handedly challenge fellow cultivators. A few, one, two, or ten is a powerful tool for Zongmen. However, for a big force with only one disciple or one relative, they naturally don't want their relatives to be in danger all the time situation, and they don’t want them to become a tool, and hope that the person they love will become a chess player.”

"A cultivator can't beat a swordsman in the early stage. A cultivator has a sense of the way of heaven. If one method can be mastered, then all methods can be mastered. After the ascetic has comprehended the way of heaven, he has very good talents in alchemy, spell making, and weapon refining. If you form an alchemy In the long-term, if the ascetics can resist the attack of the practitioners in the early stage, the ascetics can slowly kill the practitioners. The essence of Taoism is the unity of heaven and man, and the continuous practice. And the practitioners pay attention to the Explosive power, the technique is fierce and short."

"My lord, I am not an ordinary person. He is a person who holds the sword of a sect in his hand. He does not need to fight with others. Especially the successors cultivated by big families and sects are all cultivators. Because cultivators are Relying on one's own body to fight and practice, to fight a bloody road. And cultivators are to absorb the knowledge of the world and improve the depth of the Tao. Therefore, big sects and big families naturally have seniors who explain various Taos to their younger generations."

Ye Mingqi listened carefully, he could naturally hear what Che Qian said.Che Qian naturally hoped that Ye Mingqi would practice Taoism instead of art.Because, Che Qian hoped that Ye Mingqi would stay behind the scenes, as the chess player in the world, instead of fighting for the courage of everyone at that moment.

"Sir, what do you think? The exercises I will practice later." Ye Mingqi pondered for a while and asked seriously.

"Cultivation method, the second ancestor should prepare for the master. There is no need to worry about this. I am just giving my opinion. Whether it is correct or not is up to the master. Master, I am just a counselor, and any suggestion has good or bad, so The specific balance needs to be decided by the lord himself. At present, cultivators are the most suitable for the lord. However, cultivators and practitioners are all going to the road, so the lord needs to think carefully." Che Qian also sees good Just accept it, directly expressing your attitude.He is not an uninterested person, and while giving advice, he should not overwhelm the audience.

Ye Mingqi nodded, and directly summed it up, saying: "A cultivator is similar to a civil servant in the mortal world. A cultivator is similar to a military officer in the mortal world. Both of these paths can be used as an official in the imperial court. A military officer is more suitable. People without background, but the risk is high. Civil servants are more suitable for people with family backgrounds, so you don’t have to worry about cultivation resources. No matter which one you choose, it depends on your environment and interests.”

"That's right, my lord. Seeing sword cultivators in the mortal world is a confrontation between two different worlds. In the mortal world, sword cultivators can destroy a city of people. This is the blow of the high-level world to the low-level world. If, The two live in the same world, and the sword cultivator is not so powerful. At the same time, the knight who walks the world with his sword has a sect behind him, so usually he kills the villain, and the forces behind the villain only care about the forces behind the knight. Therefore, as far as the forces behind the villains are concerned, how many people can a knight kill, and if they offend the forces behind the knight, all the forces will be uprooted." Che Qian commented like a wise man pushing through the clouds.

Ye Mingqi was hit hard, because after he had the support of his second ancestor, he also fell in love with a life of happiness and kindness.Now, Che Qian must have seen Ye Mingqi's recent performance, so he directly expressed his point of view, telling Ye Mingqi, don't think too much, as a leader, just practice the skills of longevity, and don't think about going to the battlefield every day.

Ye Mingqi sighed, Xiuxian originally thought that after being supported by nobles, he would not need to be a dog.It turned out that in the past, because of the situation, I could only cultivate immortals in a low-key way.Now, in order to live forever, more penance is needed.

Che Qian seemed to see Ye Mingqi's thoughts, so he said softly: "No matter where you are, you have your own helplessness and difficulties. Immortal cultivation and mortal world are just different in ability. However, the state of mind of both is the same. .My lord, to achieve great things, you must first let go."

Ye Mingqi sighed and said, "Got it."
