Chapter 126 Tianling Root
Nianquan had a vague dream about his mother.
That was a long time ago, nearly eight years ago.
At that time, my father had not yet died, I had not yet changed my surname, and my mother had not gone crazy due to overwork and had to wear an Aoki prosthetic leg.
Nianquan has been very smart since he was a child. He can remember many things that children cannot remember. At that time, he could not reach his father's lap, and many uncles and aunts came to visit at home.
Nianquan was very timid at that time. Every time a guest came to the house, he would cry in fear, and his mother would hold him back to the room, take him to lie on the soft bed, and tell him the ancient stories in a gentle voice. Chivalrous legends, adventure stories about immortals and adventures.
In fact, Nianquan didn't like those adventure stories very much. He had a gentle personality and didn't like to fight or kill. What really made him stop crying was his mother's embrace, her gentle voice, and her gentle and loving touch.
Human beings feel at ease as long as they are in the arms of their parents. This has been true since hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago, and it seems to have never changed from generation to generation.
In the dream, Nianquan, who had not cried for a long time, suddenly felt a burst of sadness from his heart. He seemed to feel a hug, a vague shadow.
Then, it is gone...never to return.
"Mother……"
Waking up from his dream, Nianquan, who was murmuring in a low voice, opened his eyes and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
How could someone as smart as him not know that his mother was not working at the Xiaozheshan headquarters, but at the black market branch?
How could he not know that the black market in the unmanned square in the south of the city was raided by the Sky Supervision Bureau yesterday, and no news has been released so far?
No news is the worst news. Nian Quan actually knows all this, but is still waiting for an announcement that makes him desperate.
His mother had been deceiving him before, and he was willing to be deceived.
He himself was actually deceiving himself before, but he just had a dream.
Dreams are beautiful, but also sad.
Now, he has awakened in his heart.
Then……
He heard the doorbell.
He saw strange visitors.
He learned of his mother's death.
Then……
He invited the messenger boy, who was his own age, into the house.
Why? Obviously, this is extremely dangerous for both parties.
Even if you invite me, the other party may not accept it, and even if you accept it, you may not have good intentions.
Even though the other party is young, who knows if the other party is a gangster or a barbarian? He probably looted a bit and then walked away.
No patrol officer would accept the case in Xiacheng District, and for the other party, he would also be afraid of whether there were traps in his home, and guess whether he was going to be detrimental to him. But Nianquan still invited.
And the other party readily agreed.
While Nian Quan was making tea, An Jing, who had already known Nian Qin's name from the note 'Quan'er' in his address book, asked the sword spirit curiously: "Are spiritual roots also divided into grades? Still With those Cang Boxin pupils, could it be that he has some kind of innate magical power?"
"Spiritual roots naturally have different grades." Sword Spirit also explained in detail: "When a person is born in the world, he naturally has all five elements. However, it is impossible for everyone to have a balance of five elements. Even if they are balanced, the acquired personality, diet, environment and Growth also leads to changes in the five elements.”
“And just as the five elements complement each other, there are also conflicts between the five elements.”
"If you want to have 'spiritual roots', first of all, you cannot have 'deficiencies in the five elements'. Secondly, there must be no excessive contradiction between birth and restraint, and the order cannot be too reversed. In addition, the year and region of birth are also very important."
"For example, a child has all five elements, has an innate water spirit in his body, and attracts the water spirit. He should have the talent for cultivation and be a 'water spirit root'."
"But if he is born in a land with thick soil, the innate Rengui water will be suppressed, and the spiritual quality will decline. In the same way, if he is born in a month and day with strong earth energy, the innate Qi will also decline."
"If he still has the innate Wuji soil in his body, it will even suppress the water spirit, which will seriously hinder his practice."
"If his internal fire is strong, it will not only give rise to earthy energy, but also cause the water spirit energy in the body to spontaneously suppress, and the spiritual root quality will also be damaged."
"To put it even to the extreme, if the order of creation and destruction is too extreme, you cannot even have too many innate wood spirits, because if the wood spirits are too strong, they will turn away from the guest and absorb the water spirits to strengthen themselves, causing the spiritual roots to be dim."
"To put it simply, most of the results caused by the conflict between the five elements will cause the five spirits in the human body to conflict with each other. Although this is balanced and helps each other, in essence, it is internal consumption and it is difficult to 'seek outside'. Naturally Unable to practice.”
"And a few people, such as you, have a strong fire spirit and a weak water spirit in their bodies, but water overcomes fire and suppresses the fire spirit."
"But the power of the water spirit to suppress the fire spirit is the limit, and it cannot produce wood. The fire spirit is suppressed, and it is difficult to produce earth. Therefore, the two do not participate in the creation and restraint."
"Of the three spirits you have left, gold is the most abundant. If you evaluate it on a ten-point scale, it would be five points, and earth and wood would each have three or four points."
"As for the order of birth and restraint, it happens to be that the earth-born metal comes first, making your metal stronger to six points, and then comes metal to overcome wood, taking away its life and increasing its sharpness, reaching seven points. Finally, the weakened wood overcomes earth. It makes the earth spirit sluggish and unable to compete for the share of the golden spirit. As a result, your golden spirit family is dominant, with seven points of power, and even more sharp breakthroughs. It is the innate "earth and wood generate metal situation", which makes you use the three spiritual roots. The body has gained a cultivation speed second only to Tianlinggen, making breakthroughs smoother."
"But if you change the order of life and restraint, for example, first wood restrains earth, which weakens the earth spirit and strengthens the wood spirit's vitality, and then metal restrains wood. Even if you restrain it, it will be difficult to cut down living wood, unable to cut through thorns, even with swords. The edge is as blunt as the jungle, not only does it not have sharp energy, but it also has the meaning of "blunt edge", and the control of gold energy will be a little slower. "
"In the end, the sluggish soil helps the dull gold. Even if there is a slight gain, it is of no use. A five-point golden spirit will end up with a five-point average and inferior qualification, which is considered poor among the three spiritual roots. "
"No wonder there are so few people with cultivation qualifications." An Jing listened carefully, and immediately understood why everyone was born from father and mother, and had all five elements, but most of them had no spiritual roots.
First of all, the five elements cannot be deficient. Deficiency means there is a congenital disease, and it is too late to cure the disease. How can we practice cultivation? We screen out a small group or even a group of people - if their parents are malnourished, there are many people with congenital deficiencies.
The presence of all five elements does not mean that the five elements are active. At least one spirit among the five elements must be extremely active to be considered qualified for cultivation. This will screen out a group of people.
Secondly, the five elements must not hinder the active spiritual roots. For example, if the water spirit is active, there cannot be an overly powerful earth spirit, nor an overly powerful fire spirit and wood spirit. This will lead to the silence of the water spirit, the reduction of levels, and the screening. A group of people.
Finally, the order of creation and defeat must be just right, otherwise, just like the example of Sword Spirit, one is himself, and the five-point golden spiritual root has seven-point effectiveness for no reason, second only to the heavenly spiritual root.
The other is a negative example. There are obviously three spirits active, and there is no conflict or hindrance between life and death. However, due to the rotation order of the five elements in the body, five points of the spiritual root has less than five points of effectiveness, and it is also called a 'blunt edge'. A negative effect.
This screened out a large number of people.
