Xiu Shenyu, who taught children, was very different from usual. He was completely different.
The gloomy and cold expression that Luo Nan was most familiar with had flown off to god knows where. What Luo Nan saw was a middle-aged kindergarten teacher with a relaxed expression and a smile. His four limbs were on the ground, his body arched as he crawled. His figure was stretched, and his spine swayed. He was like a large lazy cat.
A group of seven or eight year old children were imitating him. They meowed happily, and they even developed new skills on their own. They flipped, rolled, pounced, and twisted. It was quite lively.
Luo Nan was truly dumbfounded.
Xue Lei felt the need to explain. "Cough. This is the cat form that the gym master created specifically for children. You might even be able to see the dog form in the future. It walks the path of the God of Imagery. You know, the children in the city are more familiar with these two animals. It's easier for them to refer to. "
"Really?" Luo Nan was still a bit absent-minded.
Xue Lei understood what Luo Nan was thinking. He said, "The gym master has always been the most amiable to children. Back in the day, when I was in the basic class, it was like the spring breeze and rain. But when I transferred to the specialized class, I was personally taught. Oh my god …."
He felt nostalgic, and he grimaced in pain. He felt quite complicated.
Xiu Shenyu had already seen them, but his reaction was very calm. It was impossible to see any misgivings about his image collapsing. He was still on the ground, leading the children to crawl in circles. They fully stretched their limbs and moved their joints. He even reminded them to control their breathing. The scene could be described as chaotic but orderly. It was under control from beginning to end.
Xiu Shenyu practiced in this manner for another round before getting up. He signaled for Luo Nan and Xue Lei to come over.
The children were still dominating the field, playing crazily … oh, practicing. Luo Nan and Xue Lei carefully circled around the group of overly energetic little fellows and stood next to Xiu Shenyu. Gym Master Xiu's expression had indeed returned to its usual calm state. It was as if the lazy, relaxed, and carefree expression from before were all an illusion.
Luo Nan wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to mention it. He just obediently reported his recent cultivation progress.
Xiu Shenyu asked a few details, confirming that Luo Nan's progress was real and effective. He didn't look surprised, just nodding. In the end, he said, "You've finished cultivating in the eyes orifice. Your progress is fast, and your foundation is solid. You should have talent. Continue cultivating along the path of the nine orifices and six roots. There's no need to stick to the order. Try everything. "" Try everything? "
"You'll only know if you've tried it yourself." Xiu Shenyu didn't think there was much to say, so he brushed it aside and changed the topic to what he thought was more important. "Start from the Six Roots and Nine Orifices, and sense the surroundings. Worldly thoughts are like a tide, which is very dangerous for cultivators. Therefore, 'true knowledge and clear vision' is especially important. Knowing oneself is true, knowing others is clear. Knowing others and knowing oneself cannot be biased. "
Actually, Luo Nan did not quite understand, but when he heard Xiu Shenyu talk about understanding people, he could not help but think of the events that had tormented him for the entire afternoon. He could not help but ask, "The people of the world seem to be thousands and thousands of different, but when it comes to the level of life, the myriad streams return to the origin. The differences are extremely small, and there are many things that seem right, yet are actually wrong. How in the world should we distinguish them?"
Xiu Shenyu glanced at him and gently nodded in approval. When Luo Nan described his extraordinary cultivation progress just now, it was nothing more than this: "We cultivators know ourselves and know others. We should start from three places: the root receptacle, the root nature, and the root trigger. These three things, whether it is teaching others or self-cultivation, must be seen clearly. "
"Root receptacle, root nature, and root trigger?" Luo Nan had a stupefied expression.
"This is the language of the Shijia. It has been borrowed, but it has been slightly mutated. The so-called root is the root of growth. According to your words, it is the basic order frame of a person. "
Xiu Shenyu had spoken to this point, and Luo Nan understood.
"As for the differences between the three, the one that can hold objects is the tool. It is the quantity that can hold. The one that creates good and evil is the nature. It is the discrimination of direction. The one that moves appropriately is the trigger. It is the fate of receiving the law. Simply speaking, one must look at one's aptitude when looking at the future of cultivation. This is divided into talent, temperament, and destiny. Only by understanding all of these elements can one choose the most suitable technique for a person. Only then can one choose the most suitable person for a technique. "
Luo Nan felt that Xiu Shenyu was not only teaching him how to cultivate, but he was also expounding on the teachings themselves. As a teacher, these were undoubtedly words that came from the bottom of Luo Nan's heart. It wasn't just Luo Nan. Even Xue Lei pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"There is an ancient saying that the path transforms the virtuous and the foolish. Let's not talk about the controversial points. Schools have different doctrines, and there are many differences in the disciples they accept. This is obvious. Most of these differences come from the root receptacle, the root nature, and the root trigger. The principles are easy to understand, but the important point is how to distinguish them in reality …. Xue Lei, you don't need to listen to what I'm about to say. Your root receptacle is thick, and your root nature is simple. The root trigger should be activated for a long time. What you need is a pure intent. There is no benefit in learning these techniques of reasoning and reasoning. "
Xue Lei shrunk his neck, and he obediently walked far away to act as a temporary instructor for the children.
Luo Nan seemed to understand something. Xiu Shenyu had actually treated Xue Lei as a living example. He had demonstrated to Luo Nan how to distinguish and utilize the root receptacle, root nature, and root trigger.
The results were naturally excellent. Luo Nan already had a bit of a plan in his mind.
"Listen carefully."
Xiu Shenyu gave Luo Nan another reminder. Then he imparted Luo Nan the specific techniques of distinguishing the tool, nature, and mechanism. This technique was actually a summary of experience. Aside from a keen and penetrating state of mind, one also needed a wealth of life experience to support it.
Right now, Luo Nan had only learned the basic principles. He was still far from truly crossing the threshold.
However, this bit of principle was already quite outstanding. Especially the standard of clairvoyance and judgment. It pointed to the most profound and subtle level of the human body and mind. It vaguely corresponded to some of the problems in Luo Nan's Formatting Theory.
Especially, especially this afternoon ….
Luo Nan felt his soul strength stir. He scratched his ears and cheeks for a time. He really wanted to return to the settlement in the Trigate District and stare at the little monkey and those wild little ghosts. He wanted to look at them in detail once more.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be unable to do so tonight.
Xiu Shenyu gave a rare warning to Luo Nan. He needed to make Luo Nan comprehend the marvels within. "Speaking of this technique, I will teach you this technique tonight. I know that you have a thoughtful personality. You are suited to study and research. I also know that you have a deep and solid foundation. It is enough to bear the burden. You took the initiative to ask, and you seem to be pointing at something. You should have encountered a corresponding problem. It just so happens that you have the tool, nature, and mechanism at the same time. It is like the return of spring to the earth. It awakens and hibernates all living things. It is born naturally. Although its nature is soft, its nature is firm. The results should be pretty good. "
Luo Nan nodded fiercely. Now he somewhat understood the true meaning of the phrase, "If one hears the path in the morning, one can die in peace in the evening." Of course, it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that Luo Nan wanted to die. It would be best if he could happily verify it a few times.
