Chapter 670: Western Monk
Anthony was stunned, wondering why this doctor didn't ask about the condition first, but instead asked some weird questions? The butler on the side looked slightly downcast, but he was very cultured and said politely: "Dear guest, there is nothing upstairs."
Zhang Jun said nothing more. He motioned for Anthony to sit on the sofa and began to take his pulse. His grasp of the pulse was even better than Hua Buyi's, so he came to a conclusion after a while.
"The count consumed too much energy on something, which led to excessive physical weakness. Fortunately, the count is a Christian monk, and his physique is far superior to ordinary people, so he has persisted until now." Zhang Jun said.
Anthony looked confused and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am at home every day, how can I consume my energy?"
"You have to ask yourself." Zhang Jun said calmly, "We as doctors can only see the causes of the disease, but it is difficult to see through other causes."
Then he glanced at the housekeeper and said: "Only when the doctor knows the cause of the disease can he prescribe the right medicine, otherwise no matter how good his medical skills are, he can't do anything. Count Anthony must have been to the hospital, and the doctor must not be able to come up with a good plan."
The butler lowered his head and pondered, seeming to be making some kind of decision. Anthony still looked confused, it seemed that he really didn't know where he had spent his energy.
Zhang Jun then stood up and said: "I'm really sorry. If I don't know the cause, I can't do anything about this disease, so I have to say goodbye." After saying that, he turned to leave, which made Yang Naixing who came with him very regretful. I thought Zhang Jun had a way to cure Anthony's strange disease.
The butler suddenly raised his head and said very helplessly: "Dear guest, I can feel that you are a powerful Eastern monk. Yes, there is indeed something upstairs, which is the holy sacred instrument used by the Ashley family for cultivation. Objects. Practicing with the help of sacred objects may have side effects, causing the owner to become so skinny.”
Zhang Jun laughed, stopped and said, "As long as the cause is known, the disease will be cured. Please take me upstairs."
The housekeeper nodded and politely said to Yang Naixing: "Mr. Yang, the environment upstairs is not good, please wait downstairs."
Yang Naixing knew that the things above must be the secrets of the Ashley family, so he said knowingly: "Okay, I'll drink tea down there."
The housekeeper and Anthony took Zhang Jun upstairs. The space upstairs was very large, with many rooms in a classic European medieval style. In the easternmost study room, there is a painting. The person in the painting is a beautiful girl. She has a pair of blue eyes and golden hair. She is indescribably charming, pure and quiet.
"It's very beautiful, and the painting is very vivid. If I guess correctly, this is the holy object you are talking about, right?" Zhang Jun asked.
The steward coughed and said, "Yes, this was painted by an elder of the Presbyterian Church in his early years. This painting can purify the soul."
Zhang Jun couldn't help but think of the time when Wei Daoxiang used a painting to practice spiritual training. It seems that there are similarities between the Eastern and Western cultivation models.
He nodded: "That's right, the count's cultivation method is wrong. This painting not only failed to purify his mind, but instead led him into an illusory world, which was a waste of his mind."
The painter was very clever, and judging from Zhang Jun's eyesight, he at least had the ability to return to the true state. This person fully displayed his mental state through the painting. People who understand can purify their soul and improve their cultivation through this painting. But if someone doesn't understand it, it may run counter to the painter's original intention. Not only will his cultivation not be improved, but he will also be harmed.
Anthony looked in disbelief and frowned: "Impossible. I meditate in front of this painting every day, and my cultivation is getting deeper day by day. How could it harm me?"
Zhang Jun didn't let it go and asked the steward: "Excuse me, I don't know much about your Western cultivation system. Can you explain it to me?"
After listening to Zhang Jun's words, the housekeeper said very politely: "I am willing to serve you."
According to Guan Jia, there are two cultivation systems in the West, and the mainstream is the religious system. Religion has been prevalent in Europe since ancient times, and the vast majority of practitioners practice within the scope of religion. Of course, there are also a small number of people who are not believers and have another system of practice, but the number is very small, such as blood tribes, barbarians, etc.
There is no such thing as dark energy, bright energy, or transformed energy in the Western practice system. They start from the heart from the beginning. Of course, this so-called spiritual realm rests on religious gods and is difficult for non-religious people to understand.
When their minds reach a certain level, they can naturally control the power within their bodies well. Although Westerners don't know what moving blood is, they can still make good use of their own power and realize their potential.
This kind of power is called Dou Qi in the West. It is actually a kind of internal energy, which is similar to Ming Jin, Dark Jin and Hua Jin. There are three types of Dou Qi. The inferior Dou Qi is probably An Jin, the middle level Dou Qi is probably An Jin, and the superior Dou Qi is probably Hua Jin.
When Western monks make another spiritual breakthrough, they can use fighting energy to reach a state similar to holding an elixir, making both body and spirit stronger. At this time, fighting spirit is no longer fighting spirit, it will be upgraded to holy light.
Holy light is actually Gang Qi. At this stage, Western monks possess the "Holy Body" and are called Paladins. Paladins are also divided into three levels. The lowest level is equivalent to the inner vision stage of Eastern monks and is called quasi-paladin. Above is the Paladin, which is equivalent to the Bugang stage in the East. Above that are the Holy Knights, who can emit something similar to true power, called the Second Holy Power.
Above the Paladins are the angels, among which the Holy Spirit-level angel is equivalent to half-step magical power, the Sub-level angel is equivalent to the Realization Realm, and the Holy-level Angel is equivalent to the Manifestation Realm. The Daluo above does not exist, because according to the standards of Western monks, the so-called omnipotent Lord only exists in the Daluo realm.
What surprised Zhang Jun was that Western monks did not open up a spiritual realm. After they become sub-angels, their souls can directly enter "heaven" and occupy an area in heaven as their own training ground. This was very different from the way Taomen opened up the spiritual realm, which made him feel incredible.
In other words, it is not that Western monks have no ability to open up the spiritual realm, they just contribute this ability to "God", and all they do is to add bricks and tiles to "heaven". Strictly speaking, by Eastern standards, they cannot be considered true practitioners of magical powers because they do not have their own spiritual realm.
After listening to the butler's explanation, Zhang Jun asked him: "Your cultivation should be that of a quasi-paladin, right?"
The butler was not surprised. He had already noticed that Zhang Jun was extraordinary and nodded: "My cultivation level is not high. I only made a breakthrough the year before last." Then he asked, "According to our Western standards, where are you at?" ?”
Zhang Jun smiled slightly: "It should be what you call the 'Mighty Holy Knight'."
The butler immediately stood in awe and said, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I'm very honored to see you!"
Zhang Jun said: "You're welcome, let me cure the earl's illness first."
He walked up to Anthony, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You start meditating now. Practice how you usually practice now. During your practice, I will forcibly intervene and drag you back to the right track of practice. You don't want to Resistance.”
Anthony nodded. The man in front of him was the "Mighty Holy Knight", and he only possessed the middle level of fighting spirit. He was a million miles away, so he naturally followed Zhang Jun's advice.
He immediately sat on the chair opposite the portrait, stared at the portrait, and soon entered a state similar to entering a room, which is called meditation in the West.
Although Zhang Jun has never practiced any Western method, he is good at mind-reading and can control people's minds. This little thing won't trouble him. He waited for about ten minutes, and suddenly a blush appeared on Anthony's face and he smiled, as if he was dating a woman in his dream.
Zhang Jun ignored him. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the portrait, feeling the realm conveyed in the painting. This is an extremely pious state of mind. He will obey God unconditionally, serve God, and have an absolutely pure heart.
Theoretically, this state of mind can infect practitioners, and its effect is beneficial. However, Anthony was obviously mistaken. He actually had a tryst with the woman in the painting during meditation, and maybe even had close contact.
After understanding the true meaning of the painting, Zhang Jun immediately came to Anthony's side, pressed his palm on the top of his head, and forced his heart to move.
Anthony fell into a fantasy. He had taken off his clothes and was holding the beautiful woman in his arms to do good things. Suddenly, there was a thunder in his ears, and the woman in his arms suddenly turned into a bloody skeleton, with an extremely fishy smell. This frightened him so much that he screamed strangely and immediately exited the meditative state.
When he opened his eyes and looked at the portrait again, all he felt was the pure power of faith, and there were no longer any evil thoughts.
He showed an expression of sudden realization and said awkwardly: "It turns out I was wrong all along! I thought she would directly tell me how to practice, but it turns out that's not the case at all."
Zhang Jun was speechless for a while. He turned around and asked the housekeeper: "Don't you know how to practice with the help of portraits?"
The butler shook his head: "Only people from the Ashley family can practice with sacred objects. I'm not qualified, and of course I don't know how to practice."
Anthony bowed respectfully to Zhang Jun and said, "Dear Zhang, I don't know how to thank you. If you have any requests, feel free to ask."
Zhang Jun smiled slightly. Before coming, he had already found out about Anthony's background from Qu Yuanping. Behind Anthony is the Ashley family, which controls the Royal Bank of Scotland and plays a pivotal role in both upper class society and business circles.
In the future, if he wants to take over Ren Shiwo's resources, he will inevitably need the help of the Ashley family. With Ashley's family background, it would be much easier for him if he was willing to help.
"Don't say anything if you are grateful. We will be friends from now on." He said.
"Great, we are friends." Anthony was very happy and sincerely said, "Zhang, please stay for lunch. I want to have a good chat with you."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry, your body bones are very weak, I have to nurse you back to health."
