Chapter 18 Choice
Chu Zhiyuan sighed secretly.
It is not surprising that Chu Zhiting joined the Zhenwu Department. Apart from the military, the most likely places for meritorious service in other yamen are the Zhenwu Department and the Supervision Department.
For the Crown Prince, marching is the most suitable time.
After joining the army, taking the position of a mid-level officer, and then staying next to the commander, there is basically no danger and it is easy to perform meritorious service.
The Zhenwu Division has to face those martial arts masters who committed crimes. Even if you are a deputy hall leader, you have to face fighting. It is really too dangerous.
He looked at Chu Zhichuan: "Tenth brother, where do you want to go?"
Chu Zhichuan calmly uttered three words: "Zhenwu Si!"
Chu Zhiting shook his head: "What are you doing?"
Chu Zhichuan said coldly: "Brother Ninth, you can go, why can't I go?"
"Hey, you old boy!" Chu Zhiting suddenly glared: "I can't help it, there's no need for you to follow me into this muddy water."
"Let's compete again after we go to the Zhenwu Division!" Chu Zhichuan said.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed.
This is Chu Zhichuan. Underneath his handsome appearance, he is competitive and aggressive.
"What about you, fourth brother?" Chu Zhiting asked.
Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "I want to go to the Ministry of Rites."
The three people's eyes widened immediately.
"Ministry of Rites?" Chu Mingxuan said hurriedly: "That's Qingshui Yamen, where do you get the chance to make meritorious deeds? It's a waste of your talent."
Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan nodded with disapproval on their faces.
"Uncle Eighteen, my foundation is not solid," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Concentrate on studying and lay a solid foundation before talking about meritorious service."
This is his actual feeling.
Performing meritorious deeds in exchange for spiritual elixirs is indeed a shortcut to spiritual practice.
After the innate perfection is achieved, it is time to find the door to the master.
The Grandmaster's Gate is not like the three gates between acquired and innate, but a mysterious and mysterious void gate.
If you have a deep enough understanding of your own fundamental mind, the gate of the master will appear under the flash of spiritual light. If you gather your true energy and break through this gate, you can truly enter the realm of the master.
This gate is a huge barrier, more difficult to break than the three gates, but the really difficult thing is to find this door. Those who are stuck in the innate perfection will not be able to get in.
According to the level in his previous life, an innate master is equivalent to a doctor, a master is equivalent to an academician, and a grand master is equivalent to a great scientist on the first level of Qian Xuesen or Yuan Longping.
If you just immerse yourself in hard work, you will only be stuck in your innateness for the rest of your life and will not be able to become a master.
How to deepen your understanding and appreciation of martial arts?
The most important path is to hone.
Competing and communicating with different martial arts, and even fighting to the death, will continuously deepen your understanding and understanding of the martial arts you practice.
There is another way which is pure perception.
Enlightenment and re-enlightenment continue to deepen and advance layer by layer, and finally the light of inspiration flashes and the door of the master is revealed.
The reason why both the crown prince and the prince have to accept errands and perform meritorious service is not only to obtain spiritual resources to accelerate their advancement, but also to gain insights into martial arts.
Moreover, performing meritorious deeds can also be exchanged for spiritual elixirs and other spiritual resources, which not only help one's spiritual practice but also strengthen the power of one's palace.
It can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
But I am different.
He has super-sense, is very aware of the subtle changes in his body, and his understanding of his own martial arts far exceeds that of the world.
Then there is no need to hone through fighting, you can completely find the door of the master through self-enlightenment through reading.
Since I have the inheritance of Taiqing Yuanzong, it doesn't matter even if I don't have a panacea to restore my true energy.
I have the inheritance of the Dragon Subduing Sect and the Yuxu Sword Sect, as well as the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique, and my cultivation speed will advance by leaps and bounds far beyond the world.
The most important thing is not to take risks.
This world is still too dangerous, and the innate realm is too weak. Even if you really want to enter the Zhenwu Division, you have to wait until you are a master.
But at the same time, I also need to make meritorious deeds and practice resources.
It's just that there is no need for a magic elixir to restore the true energy, but the elixir to change the tendons and cleanse the marrow is still very helpful, not to mention that the palace also needs the elixir to enhance the strength of the guards.
Going to the Ministry of Rites is not dangerous, you also have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and you have more time to practice and study.
Killing three birds with one stone, the Ministry of Rites made him the perfect choice.
What's more, the Ministry of Rites governs the Tongtian Pavilion, the largest library in the Jing Dynasty.
The Tongtian Pavilion contains a collection of rare editions of books from all over the world, which are all-encompassing and as vast as the sea. Although they are not open to the public, they cannot stop the prince.
More importantly, you can use your time in office to study at Tsutenkaku Tower.
With his photographic memory, he was able to understand ancient and modern times in a short period of time, as well as be familiar with astronomy and geography, which was of endless benefit to martial arts practice.
——
"What a pity, Fourth Brother." Chu Mingxuan shook his head.
He was very puzzled by Chu Zhiyuan's decision.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "The Ministry of Rites may not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Let's see who among us becomes the first master."
"Grandmaster..." Chu Mingxuan said with a proud smile, "I guess I am the first to enter the Grandmaster."
Once you leave the Mingwu Hall, things will be different.
In Mingwu Hall, everyone can only practice hard based on their qualifications. After leaving Mingwu Hall, they can use spiritual pills to speed up their practice.
As a prince, the jobs he can get are higher, and it is easier to obtain meritorious services. The elixirs he can get in exchange are enough to make up for or even exceed the qualification gap.
For example, if you also go to the Ministry of Rites, you can be responsible for sending envoys abroad, while the prince can only be a deputy.
If he joins the army, he will be directly at the level of President Qian, while the prince will only be at the level of President Bai.
The higher the status, the easier it is to obtain credit.
Chu Zhiting nodded in agreement.
The crown prince cannot really be compared with the prince. There is a generational difference, and the relationship with the emperor is also different. One is the son and the other is the grandson.
But Chu Zhichuan snorted and said, "Uncle Eighteen, that's not necessarily the case."
"Old Ten, let's compare." Chu Mingxuan said proudly, "I am the prince and you are the prince."
"Fourth brother, think twice!" Chu Zhiting said.
If Fourth Brother enters the Army or the Zhenwu Division and joins the Rites Division, he will probably fall behind soon.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and drank another bowl of wine.
A burst of hot air rushed out of the stomach and rushed towards the periosteum, which thickened a little.
Suddenly, his heart was filled with happiness, and he secretly started to use the Dragon Transformation Technique.
The sixth level of Hualong Jue is film training.
The nine levels of Dragon Transformation Art are easier to master if you practice them in order. You can also mess up the order, but the difficulty will be greatly increased.
If you practice the pulse first and then the orifices, you can develop stronger Qi. If you directly train the bones, marrow and membranes without practicing the pulses and orifices, the Qi will not be strong enough and the effect will be worse.
But at this moment, with the bone wine of the Six Yang Demon Tiger, it is the best time to practice membrane.
The sixth level of Dragon Transformation Technique was in operation, and the power of the medicine that was originally floating around seemed like a lost child finally found its destination, and it penetrated into the bones one after another, without wasting any of it.
As the periosteum thickened, he could clearly feel his strength increasing rapidly, and his movements also became a little faster.
Sometimes this little thread can determine life or death during a fight.
——
A bright moon shines in the sky.
In the brightly lit Tingtao Courtyard, Chu Zhiyuan stood under a plum tree and slowly practiced boxing, carefully experiencing the changes in his body.
The potency of the medicine has been completely released and its effect has been completely completed.
The periosteum has finished growing.
He experienced the changes in his body, his strength increased by about one-tenth, and his speed increased by one-twentieth.
Strength and speed work together, and the same sword technique becomes more powerful.
No wonder the disciples of the four major sects worked hard to make meritorious deeds, and each martial arts sect almost went crazy wanting to enter the imperial court. It was really that the temptation of natural resources and treasures was too great.
Of course, if I didn't have the Dragon Transformation Technique, my gains this time wouldn't be so great.
Chu Zhiting and Chu Zhichuan may not have been able to absorb even one-tenth of the medicine's power, and the rest was wasted.
Chu Mingxuan really spent a lot of money this time. Sharing the medicinal wine like this was obviously an attempt to win over the three of him.
The prince has higher authority. He also goes to the Ministry of Etiquette. He can only start from a casual deputy position, but the prince can do both actual and principal duties.
The prince can only assist, but the prince can make the decision. The prince needs to protect and assist, and the prince is the best candidate.
Chu Mingxuan will not go to the Ministry of Rites, but may go to the army. The army is the best place for princes and sons.
But no matter how they choose, they still have to go to the Ministry of Rites. But without Zou Fang and Guo Chi in the army, it is still too dangerous.
Focusing on practicing and studying in the leisure department of the Ministry of Rites can lay a solid foundation for the future.
What's more, after entering Xiantian, you can participate in the annual autumn hunting and go to Feiyan Hunting Ground to hunt monsters in exchange for military merit.
With his own super sense, coupled with the Tianya Bu and the Great Avalanche Sword Technique, it is not difficult to hunt monsters.
While he was meditating, a maid in white, Mo Yi, came lightly, carrying a red sandalwood box and placing it on the stone table in the courtyard: "The three fresh soup made by the princess herself, the young master must drink it."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
Mo Yi pursed her lips and smiled: "The princess spent two hours cooking it herself, saying it would be beneficial to the young master's cultivation."
"Where's my little sister?"
"The princess also has one."
"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Mo Yi opened the purple box and took out a bowl of soup inside.
Immediately a strange fragrance hit my nostrils.
Mo Yi said softly: "As expected of a monster, it smells completely different from ordinary meat."
This unique aroma is not found in other kinds of pigs, cattle, sheep, deer, bears, and birds.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, took the bowl and took a sip.
