Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

I am too obsessed with being like my master... Lu Jin was confused, "Brother Zhang means that I don't want to learn to be like my master!"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. If you think that not being the same as Zuo Menzhang means you are not attached to appearance, then you are even more wrong."

Lu Jin became even more confused. It was wrong to learn from his master, and it was also wrong not to learn.

"Is there a limit?" he asked.

"You have to find the one that suits you!" Zhang Zhiwei said, "Students live, imitators die. You have to understand that you are the student of Zuo Menzhang, not his imitator."

"This is actually a common problem among many of you in the Sanyi Sect. You, your senior brothers Shuiyun, Changqing, Chengzhen, and even the new member Li Muxuan, are all imitators of Sect Leader Zuo."

"Master's imitator..." Lu Jin muttered to himself.

If you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with saying this. Their entire sect is personally guided by the master, and they are all imitating the path the master has taken. They don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Because the Three Stages of Reverse Life is an extremely difficult practice, it is very easy to go wrong without proper guidance.

However, if you rely too much on your master, although the road ahead will be easy in the early stages, once you reach a high level, you will inevitably be constrained.

Over the past few years, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and his strength is almost on par with that of Master's eldest disciple Cheng Zhen.

In the Trinity Sect, he was already a master, so naturally he faced the same situation as Cheng Zhen, and his cultivation progress slowed down.

But he is much better than Cheng Zhen. Cheng Zhen's cultivation has been stagnant for a long time, while his is just slowing down.

Of course, in the past few years, Master has broken through the third level and made great progress in the art of reverse rebirth. Cheng Zhen has also begun to improve, but his progress is very slow. It is completely incomparable to Brother Zhang, who has mastered the third level of reverse rebirth not long after practicing.

Although Lu Jin was reckless, he was never stupid. He thought for a long time and said:

"Brother Zhang, what you mean is that we can't just copy our master blindly, but we should learn from our master while finding our own way?"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded.

He had talked about this matter when he went to Trinity Gate to discuss the Dao with Sect Master Zuo. Sect Master Zuo had actually noticed this situation a long time ago, but he did not take any steps to change it.

The main reason is that the risk of practicing the three levels of reverse life is too high. Although copying his routine will inevitably stifle some creativity and increase the difficulty of later practice, at least there will be no danger to life.

If they were allowed to practice freely and develop their full potential, there probably wouldn't be many intact disciples left in the entire Trinity Sect.

The idea of ​​the left sect leader is to let the disciples practice first, and when they reach a bottleneck, they can each find their own way.

Even if we don't find it in the end, we will all have some insights of our own. If we get together to discuss, we may be able to find a way forward.

But now, Lu Jin has passed the stage of following the Zuo Menzhang's instruction and practicing by rote. He must find a path that suits him. This is one of the reasons why the Zuo Menzhang asked him to come to Zhang Zhiwei.

However, this was still a little difficult for Lu Jin, who had been training under the wing of Chief Zuo.

"Senior Brother Zhang, how should I find him?" Lu Jin asked.

"I don't know!" Zhang Zhiwei said, "Although I have also practiced the third level of reverse life, I can't help you with this. I can only give you a suggestion. If you are confused, then do your current job well and don't think about Qi transformation of this or Qi transformation of that. Just temper your life well."

Don't talk about anything else, just focus on improving yourself... Lu Jin muttered to himself.

In fact, he had known this for a long time. He also knew that when Senior Brother Zhang practiced the Golden Light Mantra, he regarded the golden light as an unnecessary by-product.

He had tried this before, ignoring the effects of Reverse Life and focusing only on its improvement of life, but he didn't persist for long each time and would go after the effects of Reverse Life again.

There is no way, because the effect of rebirth is too great.

If you spend the same amount of time and only focus on the life improvement brought by the third level of reverse life, and ignore the practice of the reverse life state, the improvement may be minimal, at most increasing the strength by dozens of kilograms, and some improvements in reaction speed.

But if you focus on developing the reverse state, you may already have the power of dragon and tiger.

Given the choice between dozens of kilograms of strength and dragon and tiger power, most people would choose dragon and tiger power.

Even if someone can endure the loneliness and choose to exert dozens of kilograms of strength, how can they continue?
The former will continue to temper himself and make small-scale improvements, while the latter may, based on the great power of dragon and tiger, achieve the second level of reverse rebirth, becoming immune to water and fire, and unharmed by swords and axes.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger. No one can withstand such a great temptation, and Lu Jin is the same.

However, the practice of the reverse-life state has slowed down now. Whether he likes it or not, he can only calm down and improve himself.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I understand. I will do it well!" Lu Jin said.

Zhang Zhiwei nodded. Lu Jin was still young and had no inner demons, so he had plenty of time to seek the way.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwei gave instructions to several fellow disciples, and the lecture ended.

Everyone left one after another, and Zhang Zhiwei went to the Dashangqing Palace to meet his master.

The door of the Zhenren Hall was ajar. Zhang Zhiwei pushed the door open and came in. Zhang Jingqing, who was reading a newspaper, glanced at him and said unhappily:

"What's the matter with Master Dai Tian?"

"Can't you come and see Master if you have nothing to do?" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile, "Master is paying attention to national affairs again. Has anything happened recently?"

Zhang Jingqing smiled and said, "Well, there really is one. After the governor was overthrown, a new governor came. Well, although the statements are different, they are basically the same."

"This warlord has mobilized an army of 100,000 to wipe out a new force in our southern part. There are probably only 40,000 of them."

"Before the army set out, a commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army came to Longhu Mountain to ask me for divination and fortune-telling."

"Master, have you made the deduction?" Zhang Zhiwei asked. He knew that his master, like him, did not like to make divinations.

"I have deduced it!" Zhang Jingqing nodded and said, "After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the army, so I, as your master, must give him some respect."

"What's the result?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Jingqing pondered for a moment and said, "The army of 100,000 was completely defeated, and the commander-in-chief has already met with bloodshed."

Isn't the southern part of our area Gannan? The commander of the Ninth Army... After combining several pieces of information, Zhang Zhiwei roughly knew what was going on.

"Master, did you tell the commander the truth?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Do you think I am you?" Zhang Jingqing said.

Zhang Zhiwei: "…………"

"So what did you say, Master?"

"He was going to die soon anyway, so I just said a few words and sent him away!" Zhang Jingqing said. Master, you are really unrefined... Zhang Zhiwei gave a thumbs up: "Master is very smart, I can't give a bad review anyway."

"I really can't give a bad review!" Zhang Jingqing said: "According to some intelligence, the commander was killed by more than 9,000 people, and he was also captured alive and executed!"

"What happened next?" Zhang Zhiwei asked again.

"Later?" Zhang Jingqing said, "Later, the Nanjing side was unwilling to accept defeat, so they mobilized 200,000 troops and adopted a tactic of steady and steady attack and step-by-step victory, attacking in four directions."

"As a result, they were defeated one by one by the enemy with 30,000 troops. They fought several brilliant battles, swept across 700 miles, won five battles and annihilated more than 30,000 enemies."

When Zhang Jingqing talked about this incident, he was amazed and felt it was incredible. He said that this army was simply a god in using troops.

"Two hundred thousand against thirty thousand, but only thirty thousand were annihilated. This record is truly amazing!" Zhang Zhiwei also exclaimed in admiration.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said, "By the way, Jianghu Xiaozhan told me that Zhang Sanjia is in this team. Before leaving Longhu Mountain, Zhang Sanjia went to see you and then disappeared. Did you arrange this?"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "It's not really an arrangement. I just pointed him in a general direction."

"Are you optimistic about them?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire!" Zhang Zhiwei said, "Although the situation seems unified on the surface, there are so many twists and turns in the dark. I don't see any bright way out."

"You have always been full of ideas, and there are some things that even your teacher cannot understand!"

Zhang Jingqing pondered for a moment and said, "But do you know that the man in Jinling is ready to personally serve as the commander-in-chief and mobilize 300,000 troops, including five elite divisions, to deal with them?"

"You know, this guy is a famous master of micromanipulation. He is best at making meticulous commands on a complex and ever-changing battlefield. Do you think they can stop him?"

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "I think that being too fond of micromanagement is not a good thing. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, everyone has a different perspective. It is not good to do things beyond your level. It's like what Zhuangzi said, you can see the tip of a hair but not Mount Tai."

Zhang Jingqing understood what Zhang Zhiwei meant: "In other words, you think they can stop it. Have you done divination?"

Zhang Zhiwei said: "I haven't predicted it, but I think they can resist it. Master, have you predicted it?"

Zhang Jingqing said, "The more involved the matter is, the less accurate the divination will be. I have done divinations before, but the results are different every time. I cannot predict this matter accurately. Do you want to try?"

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head and said, "If even Master can't predict it accurately, I can't do it even more."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the time in the newspaper. This period of time is really an eventful time. If nothing unexpected happens, something big will happen in the Northeast soon.

Zhang Zhiwei was not sure whether that incident would happen. After all, he had been to Liaodong twice before and had eliminated the predecessor of that unit, but he could not say whether the other party would re-form it.

In recent years, he has been concentrating on spiritual practice and has paid little attention to things in the northeast.

However, if this happens, as long as Xiao Shuai fights back, he will come out to lend a helping hand, but if Xiao Shuai doesn't have the determination, it's unrealistic to ask him to guard the national goal alone.

"By the way, why did you come to see me?" Zhang Jingqing asked.

"Master, it's because I want to set up a Qi bureau in the Tianshi Mansion that will be helpful for spiritual practice. I'm afraid I need your help. There is another small matter, which is that I have been in seclusion these days and killed the Three Corpses." Zhang Zhiwei said.

Zhang Jingqing said: "You want to create a Qi Bureau? This is not easy. Longhu Mountain is a Taoist paradise, which is a Qi Bureau in itself. However, compared with those Qi Bureaus, its ability is not very obvious."

"However, based on this Qi Bureau, controlling the Qi channels and consolidating the body is a rather complicated matter. Um... wait a moment!"

As he was talking, Zhang Jingqing reacted: "What did you say? You killed three corpses in seclusion?!"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, then summoned the Three Corpse Gods and showed them to Zhang Jingqing.

Zhang Jingqing looked in surprise at the three corpse gods in front of him. They were three meters tall, with three bulging eyes and a lion head.

"This kind of aura is undoubtedly the Three Corpses. However, there is a difference between drawing out the Three Corpses and beheading them. Drawing out the Three Corpses only temporarily prevents the body from being affected by the Three Corpses, but over time, the Three Corpses will grow again." Zhang Jingqing reminded.

"I'm no longer growing, I just didn't cut off what was drawn out!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Jingqing did not ask Zhang Zhiwei how he did it. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Zhang Zhiwei's head, wanting to feel it for himself.

Zhang Zhiwei did not resist and allowed his master to observe him.

Zhang Jingqing's level of meditation was very high, and coupled with Zhang Zhiwei's deliberate relaxation, he soon noticed some clues that there was indeed no Qi of the Three Corpses on Zhang Zhiwei's body.

However, Zhang Zhiwei's beheading of the three corpses is different from the traditional beheading of the three corpses.

The three corpses are the original sins that people are born with. When living in this world, we will constantly receive external things and make various responses to them. Whether you like it or not, you will be affected. People call this growth.

Thoughts that are born out of the direct influence of external things are called delusions.

Thoughts that come from the heart and are not affected by external things are called one’s original mind.

But even if you can keep your original heart from being influenced by external things and give the most correct answer, your original heart will grow with more experience.

This kind of growth is not due to external delusions, but internal drive, but this drive is not necessarily a good thing.

Because it is the influence of the objective world on your subjectivity, it can also be understood as wear and tear.

The more worn out you are, the more you are assimilated into the objective world and no longer resemble yourself.

If you keep your mind high up in the spiritual world, you can ensure that you are not affected by delusions and make the best choice for yourself, but the wear and tear will still exist.

The three corpses are the products of this kind of wear and tear, and external delusions are just the inducement.

Therefore, after the people from the Three Demon Sect lead the Three Corpses out of the human body, even if they are not affected by any external temptations, new Three Corpses will naturally be born.

The simplest method is to directly cut off this part of nature, but this also kills part of the innate nature.

However, this nature is nothing compared to the benefits gained. The Three Demon Sects do this, and the same is true for many methods of using elixirs to kill the Three Corpses.

However, there is another way, which is to kill the three corpses while preserving one's nature. This is the concept of complete nature.

The Three Corpses are human nature. It is in itself very inconsistent to kill the Three Corpses while preserving sexuality.

So this is extremely difficult. Looking at the entire nature, few people can do it except Yang Zhu.

Speaking of which, Yang Zhu and the Tianshi Temple do have some relationship. The founder of Tianshi Temple learned from Laozi, and Yang Zhu was Laozi's disciple. Even though they were separated by hundreds of years, the two could barely be considered brothers.

His disciple had accomplished such a legendary thing? Could it be that he was going to teach a Yang Zhu? Zhang Jingqing was shocked. (End of this chapter)
