The strongest soldier

Compared with animals, human intelligence is evolving, and this evolution is formed by continuous learning and training. In other words, human intelligence can be improved through external objects or methods. Luo Zheng doesn’t know if his intelligence has improved, and he is very curious. , how do you know how you can memorize so many cards? Maybe it has something to do with the breathing method, but this is a secret and cannot be said, so he looked at Blue Star and answered: "Secret."

"Tch." Blue Star said speechlessly.

"Okay, let's continue. I also want to see who is stronger between the two of you. Dad, if I lose, I can ask him to get it. You have to be prepared for heavy bleeding. Playing cards with two geniuses with high IQs is definitely not a good thing. A pleasant thing." Lan Xue smiled, looking at Luo Zheng curiously, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Come just come, no one is afraid of whom." Lan Xing said unconvinced.

"It's okay. Dad can afford to lose, so I'll just give you red envelopes." Lan Bo said with a smile.

Everyone also laughed and had a good time. No one really took winning or losing seriously. Being a family happily together was more important than anything else. However, everyone secretly paid attention to it and was a little more curious about Luo Zheng's abilities, especially It was Lan Xue. Combined with playing chess, he vaguely felt that Luo Zheng's IQ had suddenly improved. He was secretly worried, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The game continued. Everyone pushed down the cards and shuffled them again. Blue Star suddenly said: "Stop, let's do a test."

"What tricks are you doing?" Lan Bo asked curiously.

"Brother-in-law, you and I close our eyes together, dad, sister, keep your hands off the table." Lan Xing looked at Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng closed his eyes curiously. Lan Bo and Lan Xue also left their hands on the table. Seeing Lan Xing also closing his eyes, they couldn't help but become curious. At this time, Lan Xing continued: "Brother-in-law, we will come together when I count to three. Open your eyes, record the cards quickly, give it three seconds, and see who remembers more."

"Okay." Luo Zheng responded nonchalantly.

"One, two, three, let's start." Blue Star said seriously, looking very serious.

Luo Zheng also became serious. When he counted to three, he quickly opened his eyes and looked at the cards on the table. Three seconds later, Blue Star shouted: "Stop, close your eyes. Dad, sister, please put the cards face up." Turn the cards over, don’t change the cards, don’t move the position, just hurry up.”

Soon, Lan Bo and Lan Xue turned over the cards out of curiosity, and Lan Bo said, "Okay."

Lan Xing opened his eyes, looked at Luo Zheng and said, "Brother-in-law, look how much you have remembered?"

"Okay." Luo Zheng recalled the cards on the table just now. A picture appeared in his mind. He took a deep breath, opened the cards one by one, and accurately reported the cards. There were thirty-two cards in total. , all of them were accurate, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Luo Zheng curiously, as if they were looking at a monster.

Lan Xing also looked at Luo Zheng in surprise and said: "Come again, don't remember it deliberately this time, just look at it casually. Remember, you can't be deliberate. The time is still three seconds. Close your eyes first."

"Okay." Luo Zheng didn't know what Lan Xing was doing, so he agreed and closed his eyes.

Everyone reshuffled the cards and turned some of the cards over. After shuffling, Blue Star signaled Luo Zheng to open his eyes. He looked at them for three seconds and then closed them. Everyone turned over the face-up cards, and then asked Luo Zheng to open his eyes. Zheng opened his eyes and continued to guess the cards. Luo Zheng recalled that he had just seen the cards and found that he had not memorized many of them. He was startled, but he still tried to guess. This time he only guessed twenty-one correctly. He couldn't help but look puzzled. To Blue Star.

Everyone else also looked at Blue Star, wondering what the purpose of Blue Star's testing method was, but Blue Star smiled regretfully and said: "I understand, it's not that my brother-in-law's IQ and memory have improved all of a sudden. It’s that my concentration is stronger than before.”

"How do you understand?" Lan Bo asked curiously.

"Have you ever had this experience? When we focus on something, it becomes easier. When we treat something casually, it becomes difficult to solve. But human concentration It’s limited, and distracting thoughts often arise when thinking and doing things, and it’s very difficult to concentrate on things without distractions,” Lanxing explained.

"It's too complicated. Let's put it simply." Lan Bo said curiously.

"To put it simply, my brother-in-law's concentration has improved. The test just now proved this. The first time he memorized the cards carefully, and his concentration was all on the cards. The second time he memorized unintentionally, and his concentration was scattered, so he remembered less. But, brother-in-law, how come your concentration has become stronger?" Lanxing looked at Luo Zheng curiously and asked.

"Concentration can be improved through training. A sniper has three basic qualities, patience, perseverance and concentration. Perhaps long-term training has improved concentration, but it is only now showing. It is accumulated over time, right?" Lan Xue saw Luo Zheng hesitate. After a while, he came out to complete the circle.

"Concentration can indeed be trained. One is to train with the help of external objects and methods, and the other is meditation, which is to enter samadhi and let oneself fall into a state of extreme tranquility. This state is also called emptiness, which means not thinking about anything, forgetting about yourself, and relaxing. An analogy is that when a person wakes up from a deep sleep, he will be refreshed, energetic, highly focused, and able to do anything with ease. If he does not have a good rest, he will be irritable, listless, unable to concentrate, and lose everything he does. ." Lanxing explained seriously.

"Training with foreign objects? Entering samadhi?" Lan Xue suddenly thought of the breathing method passed down from his family by Luo Zheng. He also received the guidance of the master and obtained the lower half of the breathing method. He guessed that Luo Zheng should have practiced the second half before he changed. Being like this, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse. I looked at Luo Zheng worriedly, and suddenly realized that this was my fate, and I couldn’t say it out loud. He immediately smoothed things over and said, “Okay, whether it’s because my IQ has improved or my concentration has improved. , it’s all a good thing, don’t worry about it, why don’t you still have some fun?”

"Let's play. Dad's hair is red and white today, so I can't let it go." Lan Xing realized something, glanced at Luo Zheng curiously, and quickly agreed without dwelling on the issue.

Everyone continued to shuffle the cards. Luo Zheng was thinking about what Lan Xing had just said while shuffling, and felt that there was some truth to it. Meditation and trance can give brain cells enough rest. After rest, you can concentrate on anything you do, and breathing The method can make one enter an ethereal state and enter concentration. Concentration can be explained by this, but what about thinking speed? The same thing used to take a second, but now it doesn’t. Why?

"Could it be that the breathing method can also stimulate brain cells, stimulate thinking, and improve one's intelligence? I've only heard that intelligence can be developed and improved through learning, training, games, entertainment, etc., but haven't I heard that meditation can also improve it?" Luo Zheng was thinking secretly, and suddenly his heart moved, and he smiled. No matter which method is used to improve intelligence, it is done by stimulating the brain. Methods are just means, stimulating the brain is the foundation, and meditation can also stimulate the brain. The difference is that one One is dynamic completion, the other is static completion.

Thinking of this, Luo Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a bad thing, it would be fine. He could concentrate on entertaining everyone. Having a happy family together was more important than anything else.
