Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Strange Gate
Master continued, "It just so happens that you have now practiced the third level of Zhencang, and it is time to teach you another set of exercises as a teacher. The Thunder Aura in your body can now operate and accumulate on its own in your body, but it is much slower than your active cultivation. This is not worth mentioning compared to the exercises that the teacher is going to teach you. Starting tomorrow, you will learn new exercises from your teacher during the day, and you will face off against Goku in the evening. ”
"Do you still have to fight, how painful it hurts to bump and bump into a fight! Besides, how can you fight when Wukong is so big after he transforms?" I complained to Master.
I really don't want to do anything with anyone, and in the memory of the original world, I still remember the situation when I fought with others, which is completely different from what I imagined when I watched the movie. Not to mention in this world!
I know the Lei Fa I practice, and if I were to fight an ordinary person who didn't know anything now, it would be almost electrocuted if I moved my fingers. Goku and I fought each other, and I couldn't imagine what it would be.
"It's a useless thing!" 'How can you be the same as when I was young' The second subtext of the master didn't say it, and the master pretended to be stern and continued to me: "How do you know the power of your exercises if you don't fight? How can you apply them freely? Will others not kill you because you don't want to fight after you get out of the valley?"
I bowed my head and replied, "Oh, I see, Master. The disciples obeyed. "Alas... No matter how bad people are in actual combat, they are still fighting with people, but I'm good, just fight monsters.
Early the next morning, Master began to teach me new exercises: "Yu Zhen, Master Wei knows that you have learned a lot of books about the Book of Changes and Qimen Formation over the years, so Master Wei will not teach you from the basics. Today's Qimen formation is called Taichu Qimen, which is also a formation created by the teacher by peeping into the way of heaven and combining the principle of all things and flowers. This set of formations can temporarily turn the space in the circle into your own small world, and you can control the aura of heaven and earth in the space at will. ”
"The usual spell is that the warlock uses the qi of heaven and earth through his own aura, and the formation method controls the aura of heaven and earth in the array through the arrangement of the array. This set of Qimen formations is a combination of the two. ”
"The formation is divided into four layers, taking the meaning of four elephants. In the first layer, you can use one Bagua aura alone, in the second layer, you can use two kinds of aura at the same time, in the third layer, you can use four kinds of aura at the same time, and in the fourth layer, you can use all of them in any combination at the same time. ”
"The practice of the Taichu Qimen is different from the cultivation of Zhencangdu, the practice of the Taichu Qimen does not pay attention to the use and accumulation of one's own spiritual power, but pays more attention to the understanding of all things and the calculation of mathematics and physics... ”
Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, it would be much more difficult to learn the Taichu Qimen than to learn the Zhencang Decision, but I didn't expect that it would take more than a year just to learn all the knowledge of the Taichu Qimen.
In the past year or so, I have studied with Master to observe the origin of all things, and to find the inner connection between all things in different forms and different forms of different energies. This is very similar to what I remember in Confucianism, and the ultimate understanding of heaven and earth, including the concept of the five elements and eight trigrams, is almost exactly the same as that of Zhou Yi in my previous life.
This makes me wonder if the world in my memory had the same living environment as this world in ancient times, but the world environment of the previous life has changed over time, so that the way people observe and understand the world has gradually changed to a physical form dominated by atoms and electrons. Whether this is the case or not, one thing I am sure of is that the desire for knowledge about the nature of the world in which we live has never changed since ancient times.
Then, Master gave me a lot of formation diagrams for me to deduce back and forth, and every day my main thing to do was to calculate from morning to night, and whenever I was tired, I would fight with Wukong. I've never found me so gifted in mathematical calculations, and sometimes I often wonder if I would be a mathematician, a physicist, or something if I had gone back to the world in my current state.
When it comes to actual combat, I, the 'pacifist' master, can't give constructive guidance at all, and his old man even told me that he created his own earthquake to resist the thunder, and he has never used this set of exercises in actual combat! This makes me often beaten in actual battles with Wukong. At first, when they first fought Goku, both sides were shy and afraid that the other would get hurt, but after a few fights, Goku liberated his nature.
There are three forms of Wukong's transformation, and the young form that is often maintained has basically no combat effectiveness, the second form focuses on speed, and the third form focuses on strength and defense, of course, the speed is not low, but it will not last too long. I can barely beat Goku's second form at the moment, and I'm completely abused in front of Goku in his giant form.
Fortunately, Master made the medicinal bath very powerful for me, and every time I was beaten and injured, I only needed to soak in the medicinal bath for an hour to recover almost completely.
"Master, what is my strength now, is there a specific level to distinguish the strength of a person?" I had just finished a fight with Goku, and I asked panting as I lay on the ground.
"Distinction of ranks? There are so many cultivators in the world, and the direction of cultivation is completely different, how can it be possible to use a single criterion to distinguish the strength and weakness of all people?" Master continued: "Besides, if you don't say that your cultivation is high, it shouldn't mean that your combat strength will be strong. Just like for me, although the cultivation of the teacher is not low, there are many people in this Central Continent who can beat your master and me around. ”
Oh my God! After all these years of cultivating with Master, I still have some understanding of Master's strength. Especially recently, when he asked me to feel the changes in the aura in the formation he had laid out, all I felt at first was shock.
Master, he can instantly envelop the entire valley in his Primordial Qi Gate, Master turns his hands into clouds and hands into rain in his formation, and mountains, rivers, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and plants and trees all move according to his heart. With such a great power, he actually told me that there are still many people in this world who can beat him around, and are the people outside all flying away from the sky and moving mountains and reclaiming the sea?!
"Do you know why the teacher said that?" the master looked at me and asked, "This is because the teacher is not good at fighting against people, and the number of times he has fought against people is very rare after he has lived for more than 180 years. It's like a weak scholar with a sharp blade and a bare-handed, murderous bandit, who do you say has a better chance of surviving in the end? ”
Master continued, "Of course, there are indeed several criteria for defining cultivation in the outside world, and the most mainstream is to judge by the form in which the aura exists in the human body. They are Zhou Tian, overflowing, melting dew, solid, and condensing pill, and when you can regularly run the aura in your body for the first time, it is Zhou Tian, and when the aura in your body continues to accumulate to the maximum value you can contain, it is overflowing;
"When the aura in the body reaches the maximum value, the liquid form is transformed into a dew in the dantian; if the liquid form reaches the maximum value, it will transform into a solid, which is solid; eventually, it will form a pill in the body, and this so-called aura pill does not actually exist in the body, it is just an image. ”
