Chapter 939: Invincible in the East
Traditional martial arts move qi and blood by "following the flow", which is equivalent to sailing with the current, or using water power to build a hydraulic windmill.
How the river flows and how strong the water flow is are not the levels that traditional martial arts can interfere with.
And what about internal strength?
Internal strength is to draw a tributary from the river. This tributary is completely up to me. I can let it flow in any way I want and wherever I want it to flow.
Of course, it is not completely arbitrary, and we still have to follow the minimum methods and rules.
Dantian, acupuncture points, and meridians are the "river channel" and "dam" and "reservoir" prepared by the internal strength system for the refined qi and blood.
The internal strength operation routes and principles of each school are different, and the power of the internal strength created is also different.
Therefore, internal strength is divided into strong and weak.
Generally speaking, the fewer the operation routes and the simpler the operation method, the easier it is to practice the internal strength, but relatively speaking, the progress of extracting internal strength from qi and blood will be slower.
For example, the Qi-gathering Kung and Hunyuan Jin, which are very popular.
The more running lines and the more complicated the running methods, the more difficult it is to practice the internal energy, but the more internal energy is extracted, the greater the power, and the progress of practice will be very fast.
The simplest internal energy only needs to guide the internal breath to circulate in the meridians for one week and then return to the Dantian.
But for complex internal energy, the running speed, flow rate, running method and residence time of the internal breath in each acupoint and each meridian are different. This kind of internal energy is extremely dangerous to run, because a slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of error, and it is very easy to go astray.
This is a bit similar to the Chinese medicine prescription. There are rules for whether each medicine is dried or soaked in water, ground into powder or baked. There are also rules for which medicine should be decocted first and which medicine should be decocted later. If you make a mistake, the efficacy of the medicine will be weakened in the mild case, and the efficacy will be completely lost in the severe case, and it may even have a counter-effect.
If you don’t have a master and rely on yourself to explore, even the simplest internal energy will take a long time to cultivate the first ray of internal energy.
If it is a complex internal energy, don’t even think about it if you want to get started on your own.
So if you want to learn Nine Yin Manual, Nine Yang Magical Art or Yi Jin Jing without any martial arts foundation, unless you have the aura of a protagonist, it is a life-or-death experience to practice.
And even if you are lucky enough to be fine, it is highly likely that you will not be able to practice anything.
How do you practice the first strand of internal force? Where do you practice it from? How do you get it into the Dantian after practicing it?
If you don’t even know this most basic question, what is your basis for practicing magic?
Just because you can read and read secret books?
When a person exhales, the pulse moves three inches, when he inhales, the pulse moves three inches, when he breathes and keeps his breath, the pulse moves six inches.
Do you understand this sentence? This is just common sense of internal breath timing.
The pulse moves fifty degrees and circulates around the body. When the water leaks for a hundred minutes, the Rongwei moves twenty-five degrees for the Yang, and twenty-five degrees for the Yin...
This sentence is also common sense of internal strength, but this thing is like a primary school student reading advanced mathematics. He knows all the numbers and letters above, but does he know what they mean?
Therefore, advanced internal skills are suitable for people who have already achieved high martial arts attainments.
There are two ways for beginners to learn internal skills:
First, practice the simplest one and explore slowly. The risk is small, but it takes a long time.
After you have developed internal strength, you can consider changing to a better internal skill.
Second, have a master to guide you.
Here the importance of "inheritance" is reflected. How easy is it for people with a master to learn internal skills?
You don't need to slowly explore and practice your first strand of internal strength. Your master will inject it into your meridians, and then guide it to run the Zhoutian according to the internal strength operation method until you learn it and can operate it yourself.
The next step is even simpler. You only need to run the Zhoutian step by step and practice internal strength continuously.
With a master to teach you, you can practice any complex internal skills, and there is no risk, unless you kill yourself or are stupid.
And it is efficient and easy to get started.
This is completely different from exploring on your own without a master. One is in the sky and the other is in the ground.
It can be seen how important inheritance is to martial arts.
There are even some special martial arts that must be passed down orally, and cannot be passed down by secret manuals alone. For example, some martial arts that pay great attention to artistic conception are difficult to describe, and only live demonstrations can feel the real effect and power.
Some martial arts have changed as they are passed down, and the reasons are diverse and complex.
It may be that the predecessors lost some key words and phrases, or some smart people may have cheated the descendants.
For example, the good "Beiming Divine Art" became "Xingxing Dafa", who knows what the smart man did to this secret book.
After talking about internal skills, let's talk about Qinggong.
In fact, there is also the concept of Qinggong in traditional martial arts, but the Qinggong of traditional martial arts is similar to the modern parkour extreme sport.
It's just that parkour people generally need to survey the terrain and measure the distance, and can only kick the wall one or two times, and roll on the ground to cushion the impact. Qinggong, as a traditional martial arts escape and fight skill, does not need to survey the terrain in advance, and can step on the 90° wall five or six times, and can quickly continue to fight after landing.
The practice of Qinggong in traditional martial arts is very tedious and complicated, even more so than acupuncture, very boring, and only a subsidiary branch of martial arts, belonging to the icing on the cake, and there are very few people willing to work hard to practice Qinggong.
And what about Qinggong in ancient martial arts?
This is amazing!
This is a unique way to use internal force. The general principle is that the internal force is generated from the soles of the feet to form a reaction force, and then the feet step on this reaction force to make the body fly, or achieve the effect of lightness, and move quickly in mid-air.
The most common and simplest Qinggong, such as flying on the grass, is to follow a special exercise route, and send out the internal force of reaction force from the soles of the feet every time you run. In this way, people will become light and fast, and they can move quickly on the grass tips.
There is also the three-fold water-skipping of the swallow, which is based on the same principle, but adds some simple body movements, such as somersaults and leaps.
Qinggong is not flying, and different Qinggongs have different focuses. Some Qinggongs are good at rushing, such as Tian Boguang's three-fold water-skipping; some Qinggongs are good at moving in a small space, such as the spiral nine shadows; and some are good at jumping high and bungee jumping with big ups and downs, such as the Wudang ladder cloud.
In short, Qinggong is a unique skill that can only be practiced by people with internal force. How can you come to this world without learning a great Qinggong?
Unfortunately, Su Yi did not find any particularly famous light skills in the light skills category of the library. The only one that made him a little excited was Tian Boguang's back-stepping three-fold water.
He hesitated for a while, but did not move for the time being.
Then there is the acupoint-pressing kung fu.
In this world, there are some martial arts that specialize in acupoint-pressing, which emphasize unique techniques and surprise, but generally speaking, there are very few such martial arts.
Just like a long illness makes a doctor, as long as you practice internal skills, everyone has some understanding of meridian acupoints, and which acupoints will have what effect when they are blocked, everyone knows, so even if you don't need to learn deliberately, as long as you have internal strength and practice more, you will be able to press acupoints.
But the acupoint-pressing technique emphasizes fast, accurate and ruthless, and unexpected, which is not easy. After all, the acupoint target is so small, and the enemy is moving, it is not easy to hit.
Su Yi also knows a little about acupoint-pressing kung fu. He learned it from Luo Yu during the Republic of China, but he only practiced two techniques and knew a little bit.
In this world, he does not plan to learn acupuncture for the time being, and he plans to postpone the study of acupuncture indefinitely.
Finally, there are fists and weapons.
For example, the heart-breaking palm and Wudang sword, the biggest difference between these martial arts and traditional martial arts is that each of their moves is attached with internal force.
If Su Yi has developed internal force, his own fists and weapons are already at the master level. With the internal force, he will be awesome immediately. This is Su Yi's biggest advantage!
In other words, Su Yi does not need to deliberately practice Dugu swordsmanship, heart-breaking palm and other martial arts for the time being, and can focus most of his energy on practicing internal strength and light skills.
However, the moves of traditional martial arts and ancient martial arts have different forces, and the power and effect will definitely change.
Su Yi thinks he can choose a fist and weapon martial arts to see how it is different from his traditional martial arts.
There is no problem in this regard.
While Su Yi was flipping through the martial arts secrets in the library, he roughly set a guideline for his initial martial arts plan in this world.
Unfortunately, he did not find the "Star Absorbing Art" here, and even the "Tai Chi Boxing Classic" was not here, not to mention the "Sunflower Manual".
This level of treasure, I don't think Dongfang Bubai would put it here.
Su Yi tried to search for the stream-of-consciousness teaching of "Star Absorbing Art" in the actor mall, and he lost interest immediately after just one look.
Can't afford it...
Let alone "Star Absorbing Art", even ""Purple Cloud Magic Art" from entry to master stream-of-consciousness teaching" requires five million fans.
He now has three million fans, and the internal power secret book he can buy is almost the Five Mountains Sword School's basic internal power mental method from entry to master stream-of-consciousness teaching.
This most basic level of internal power mental method costs three million fans?
Crazy, right?
Su Yi decisively gave up the idea of self-study.
Now there is only one way -
Dongfang Bubai!
Su Yi took a deep breath.
This is a problem he has to face.
To learn the Star Absorbing Art, he must hold on to Dongfang Bubai's thigh.
Moreover, he is a novice in ancient martial arts. It is best for Dongfang Bubai, a martial arts master, to advise him on what kind of light kung fu to learn, what kind of boxing and kicking kung fu and weapon kung fu to practice.
Although you have no problem learning Yijinjing and fighting the blood coagulation claws of the Demon Sect, after all, if the internal strength is not matched, it will greatly reduce your martial arts.
Good internal strength and martial arts should promote and achieve each other.
Therefore, Su Yi is now going to learn the Star Absorbing Art. It is best to use Dongfang Bubai's knowledge to select matching light kung fu and martial arts for himself.
Who in the world has such an opportunity to choose martial arts for you by the world's number one?
Su Yi convinced himself again, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and told himself to be brave and not afraid of difficulties.
There is nothing to see in the library for the time being, so he decided to go to Dongfang Bubai now.
When he went out, the two elders outside the door hurriedly saluted respectfully, but Su Yi just said "um" coldly and left in a hurry.
The two elders not only did not take it as an offense, but they breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had sent away the plague god.
Su Yi still let his men lead the way and returned to Chengde Hall.
There was a small door behind the main hall. After opening the small door, you had to pass through a long corridor and arrive at a garden.
There was a row of small stone houses in the garden. This was where the other elders lived and it was also the entrance to the secret valley of Dongfang Bubai.
The men took Su Yi into the small stone house on the westernmost side. Then the two of them stepped forward and pushed the wall on the left side together.
With the sound of the gears clanging, the wall was pushed open, revealing an iron door inside.
Such a hidden place, if not seen with one's own eyes, outsiders would never find it.
"General Manager, we will take our leave!" The subordinates completed their mission and retreated respectfully.
Further in, they could not enter.
Su Yi nodded, his eyes fell on the lock of the iron door.
Touching his body, he found a bunch of keys hanging around his waist, and he didn't know where they came from.
He took it off and tried it, and soon opened the lock with one of the keys.
Pushing the door in, there was another long tunnel behind the iron door.
It's really long...
Su Yi complained in his heart, the dignified Eastern Sect Leader, is it necessary to hide so deep?
The tunnel is only about one meter wide, and there is an oil lamp lit at a distance on the left, the light is as small as a bean, and I don't know who usually refuels these oil lamps?
Dongfang Bubai will definitely not do such rough work, it can't be himself, right?
Su Yi was thinking about random things while turning left and right in the tunnel.
After walking for a while, the view in front of him suddenly became clear, and two lights appeared. The wind poured in from the exit, with a faint fragrance of flowers, which made Su Yi feel refreshed and relaxed.
He quickened his pace and came out of the tunnel, and found that he had arrived in an extremely exquisite small garden.
The garden was decorated with red flowers, green bamboos, green pines and cypresses, and was very ingenious. The pond in the middle was covered with lotus leaves, and there were four white cranes standing leisurely by the pond. They were not surprised to see Su Yi coming, but instead made a joyful "Osprey" cry.
Next to the rockery, two beautiful maids were catching butterflies and playing. When they saw Su Yi, they hurriedly stood up and saluted and greeted: "The maids greet the master."
The two girls did not show any fear on their faces, but were smiling.
It turned out that there were people serving inside...
With servants, is it still considered seclusion?
Su Yi didn't know what their names were, so he just nodded to them and walked along the stone path.
Behind the rockery was an antique house with an open window. Su Yi saw from a distance that there was a person sitting by a dressing table on the left side of the window. She was wearing a bright red dress, with long black hair and a high bun.
He sat with his back to Su Yi. When he got closer, Su Yi could only see his ivory-white neck, delicate ears, and hands as tender as spring onions.
She held an embroidery frame in her left hand and an embroidery needle in her right hand, embroidering there.
As if she had sensed Su Yi's footsteps, she suddenly looked back, her eyes twinkling like stars, and she smiled and said, "Brother Lian, are you back?"
Her voice was as gentle as the oriole's song, and as clear as large and small pearls falling on a jade plate.
Her voice was that of a royal sister, and her face was --
Qingxia's face!
Su Yi's eyes lit up.
To be honest, he was stunned.
Then he was a little stunned.
Now he was faced with a very important question.
What should he call Dongfang Bubai?
No No?
Or Baibai?
