003, the fork in history, the origin of martial arts
Cramped bedroom.
Chu Tianxing sat in front of the computer desk, frowning at the historical materials that had been searched out amid the sound of the old desktop computer's old asthma-like chassis running.
The historical trajectory of this world, before the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, was no different from the history of his original world.
The fork in history appeared in the seventeenth year of Ming Chongzhen.
In the original world of Chu Tianxing, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke through Yanjing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on the coal mountain, and then it was the bloody and dark history of national sinking.
And in this world, Yanjing City, which was Chongzhen for seventeen years, was still broken by Li Zicheng.
However, Emperor Chongzhen did not hang himself on the old crooked neck tree, he suddenly opened Wushuang, and when Li Zicheng entered Beijing from Deshengmen, he beheaded Li Zicheng with a palm technique that fell from the sky......
There's nothing wrong with that.
Emperor Chongzhen of this world is the first martial arts master in the Central Plains to cultivate "true qi".
Emperor Chongzhen of Chu Tianxing's original world was extremely diligent, although his diligence basically only played a counterproductive role, making the already unbearable situation worse and worse, but at least he never slackened.
And the Chongzhen Emperor of this world, at the beginning of his reign, was a little diligent for a while, and a year later he began to fish for three days and dry nets for two days. In the four years of Chongzhen, he didn't go to court once a month.
Everyone thought that Emperor Chongzhen was another Emperor Jiajing, but no one knew at that time that Emperor Chongzhen was lazy not because he was lazy, but because he put his time and energy on cultivating martial arts......
He not only practiced martial arts by himself, but also vigorously cultivated his sons and daughters, and at the same time firmly grasped the military power of the last elite "Yongwei Battalion" in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, after personally beheading Li Zicheng, Emperor Chongzhen took advantage of the leaderlessness of the army to lead the Yongwei battalion to defeat the army, recapture the capital, and turn the tables in adversity.
After that, he fought in the south and the north, defeated the righteous army, destroyed Houjin, and reorganized the rivers and mountains. During his career, his sons and daughters have also made great contributions......
So it's still Da Ming.
That's why there will be Jinyiwei and East Factory.
There are not only east factories, but also west factories and inner factories......
When he saw this, Chu Tianxing secretly said that it was ridiculous, and at the same time searched for "true qi".
This search immediately shocked him.
"The martial arts of this world is divided into four great realms: external refining, internal force, true qi, and gang qi...... 'true qi realm' is the third great realm.
"It is necessary to practice the internal force first, and then use the internal force to penetrate the twelve meridians and the eight veins of the Qi Jing one by one, so that the internal force is unimpeded, and then continue to condense and nourish the internal force, improve the quality of the internal force, and continue to temper the body with the internal force, until the physical strength reaches a certain level and can withstand the power of the 'true qi', then you can try to condense a little 'true qi' seeds......
"The so-called 'true qi' refers to a kind of energy that can 'turn the false into the true'. Although the internal force is invisible and substantial, although it can improve the body's physique, endurance, strength, speed, and reaction, even if it is cultivated to the point that the internal force is released, it is also an invisible force that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
"And the real anger ...... According to various attributes, a variety of sound and light effects can be displayed. Fire is true qi, which can produce flame-like light and shadow, and has a real high temperature. Ice is true qi, and it can hit strange cold and freezing gas. Jin Xing's true qi can hit a sharp sword and be indestructible......
"True Qi Realm martial artists, use True Qi to condense the acupoints, and then try to break through the Gang Qi Realm. If it succeeds, it will become a land immortal from now on...... You can fly in the flesh, you can dive into the deep sea without drowning, you can swim in lava without burning, you can call for wind and rain, you can thunder with your palm, you can shake the mountains with your bare hands, and you can slash the ...... of buildings."
Seeing this, Chu Tianxing was shocked, excited, and a little worried:
"Is there a mistake......? Is it so strong? What is the difference between this and the legendary immortals? The earth is so small, can it withstand the toss of the great gods of the Gangqi Realm?"
Worried, he quickly checked the number of Gang Qi Realm martial artists, and only after finding out did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, there is not one in 100 million Gang Qi martial artists, the Ming Dynasty has a population of 1.6 billion, and there are only nine Gang Qi Realm martial artists...... Well, at least on the public information, there are only nine people......"
After checking the history and martial arts information, Chu Tianxing closed his eyes, muttered for a while, and muttered to himself:
"Judging from historical data, Emperor Chongzhen is not a traverser...... After Emperor Chongzhen made his first move and recaptured the capital, there were also many internal force realm martial artists and even true qi realm masters on the land of the Central Plains...... And those people have nothing to do with Emperor Chongzhen and the Yongwei Battalion. Even among the rebels and Houjin, there have been such people......"
In response to this strange phenomenon, of course, later generations have studied it, and the conclusion is not surprising, it is the "revival of aura".
Some researchers believe that the fairy gods in ancient mythology should have really existed. And they are not born gods, it is likely that ancient humans have cultivated true qi or even gang qi, so they are regarded as gods by ordinary people and worshipped.
However, because of the "Jedi Tiantong", the aura in the world gradually dried up, and the supernatural power gradually became extinct, so the immortal gods have become legends since then.
It was not until the Chongzhen period that the aura was revived again, and those martial arts predecessors who were born with different physiques and were extremely sensitive to "aura" noticed the existence of aura, so through practice, the extraordinary power reappeared in the world.
But the problem arises again: martial arts are very rigorous, even if they "refine" their muscles and bones, if the training method is not appropriate, they will train themselves out of problems, or even practice disabilities. The cultivation of internal force and true qi involving meridians and acupuncture points must not be missed in the slightest.
Before the "Reiki Revival", there was no internal force and true qi realm martial arts in the world. So how did the True Qi Realm Grandmasters and Internal Force Realm powerhouses, including Emperor Chongzhen, succeed in cultivating?
This question can only be found in the historical materials, and a few words can be found.
In Emperor Chongzhen's living notes, there was a record of "I dreamed of the apocalypse and became a martial artist". In some private notes of other contemporaneous warriors, there are also very sporadic records similar to "getting the gods and men in the dream", "watching the stars at night, the mind is in a trance, and suddenly there is something".
Judging from these historical records, the origin of the original martial arts seems to point to the mysterious "Apocalypse".
But what exactly is going on with this "apocalypse", there is no public information on the Internet. Anyway, Chu Tianxing checked for a long time, but he didn't find it.
However, there is no information on the Internet, which does not prove that the world today does not know the truth of the "apocalypse".
In Chu Tianxing's opinion, perhaps the truth of the "Apocalypse" has already been studied, but it has not been made public.
Because of the revival of the aura, the emergence of extraordinary power in the possession of individuals, and the existence of ancient gods-like Gang Qi realm warriors in mythology, this world, in terms of civilian science and technology, is not lagging behind the same era of Chu Tianxing's original world, but military science and technology are extremely lagging behind - martial artists, especially powerful martial artists, will naturally have a status that matches their personal strength.
But the martial artist is not immortal, even the god-like Gang Qi Realm martial artist has weaknesses and can be killed.
Therefore, powerful warriors who have mastered power and power around the world are willing to work together to suppress the development of military technology, so as not to be controlled by ordinary people and have the power to kill themselves.
Therefore, in this world, nuclear weapons do not exist. The Gang Qi Realm martial artists are themselves "nuclear weapons".
The conventional weapons were also very backward, probably only equivalent to before the First World War in Chu Tianxing's original world.
A weapon of this level can kill weaker True Qi Realm weapons, but for powerful True Qi Realm martial artists, the threat is not great. For the Gangqi Realm martial artists, there is no threat.
That's all there is to military technology, so whether a country's military strength is strong or not depends only on how many powerful warriors it has.
Therefore, the powerful martial artists did not strictly seal the martial arts, at least the basic martial arts, ordinary martial arts, and even a few advanced martial arts were allowed to spread.
In contemporary countries around the world, students have been taught martial arts since elementary school. In Daming, there are at least fourteen physical education classes per week, and there are also more than five martial arts-related theory classes.
But even so, not everyone can practice advanced martial arts.
Practicing martial arts is more talented than studying.
Even if a person who reads has average physical talent, as long as he has enough brains and enough concentration and perseverance, he can learn and succeed.
But to practice martial arts, especially advanced martial arts, it is not enough to have a brain, it is not enough to have a character talent that is not afraid of hardship, focus and perseverance, and you must have a naturally good body.
In Chu Tianxing's original world, there were many athletes with top physical talents, but they might not have brains. There are also many scholars with outstanding mental talents, but they may not have good bodies. There are many people who have good bodies and minds, but they may not have a stoic character.
And advanced martial arts is the body, mind, and character talent are indispensable.
Therefore, the Gang Qi Realm martial artist will be one in 100 million. The absolute number of True Qi Realm martial artists is quite large, but the relative proportion is not too high.
Although there are a large number of internal force realm martial artists, such as the current Ming Dynasty, because there is a population base of up to 1.6 billion, there are a total of 10 million internal force realm martial artists. But the vast majority of these tens of millions of internal force realm martial artists have stopped here for the rest of their lives, and they can't refine the true qi seeds, let alone hope for the Gang Qi realm.
As for those who can't even train their internal strength, they account for the vast majority.
For example, Chu Tianxing in this world, let alone internal strength, because he was born with a poor physique, he couldn't do particularly strenuous exercises, and he couldn't even pass the martial arts foundation and the level of "external refining muscles and bones".
"So, in my life, I can't do anything, I can't do martial arts, I don't even have hundreds of millions of family wealth, except for handsome, I really have nothing?"
Chu Tianxing was very unwilling in his heart.
This world is so exciting, how can he be willing to be an ordinary handsome guy who is good for nothing?
"Just like Xiao Hu's guy said, I can't hide behind Qin Ling all my life, ......right? Martial arts have been taught since elementary school, and in junior high school and high school, martial arts is no less important than Chinese and mathematics...... My body in this world, if I really had a martial arts talent, should have developed it a long time ago......
"Then again, there is always a reason for crossing over, and it is impossible to cross this trip for no reason. The ...... that led me to cross Whether it's a mysterious power or a mysterious existence, you should always give me some crossing benefits, right?
At this moment, there was a shock in his mind, and a crystal clear, like a diamond, like a lotus flower, a strange crystal, Mo Ming appeared in his mind.
With the appearance of the strange crystal, a mysterious information poured into his mind.
After interpreting that information, Chu Tianxing's face couldn't help but have a strange look.
"Writing Novels...... The more well-known the novel, the more fans are willing to pay for it, and the more people will be able to gather their will and refine their bodies?
"I'm going, is this my golden finger? I've decided to change careers! How can I go through this and still have to write a novel? I've spent ten years proving myself -- I'm not the material for this business!"
