Chapter 2 Shock
Master's voice called me back from my state of self-indulgence: "Yuzhen, from today onwards I will teach you to read and write, and you must remember that it is very important for a person's vision and knowledge. It directly determines the height that a person can achieve in the end, even if a pure martial arts practitioner can't even understand the exercises, or can't understand the meaning of the mental method at all, then he can't go too far on the road of martial arts. ”
I said respectfully, "Yes, the disciple must study hard and not let the master down." ”
In this world, to be precise, the civilization in which Master lives is very similar to the ancient times of the motherland in my memory, not only the way Master dresses and speaks, but even the words are square characters, but this is much more complicated than what I have ever learned.
I didn't expect to be back in the state of elementary school students, and the constant repetition of dictation and copying every day is really a headache. Fortunately, I don't have to learn any other strange foreign languages, and simple calculations are not a problem for me at all, and we are also people who have studied for more than ten years.
When I was learning to calculate, I was more accustomed to using Arabic numeral columns for mathematical calculations, and Master only briefly inquired about this. He said that in some ways, my method is relatively simple, as long as I can get accurate results, it doesn't matter. I could feel that Master didn't seem to be too deep in his understanding of many of my obviously strange thoughts, but he never deliberately avoided them, and as long as they were harmless to learning, he just let them be.
"Apprentice, do you like to practice martial arts very much? Master asked, looking at me who had just come back from a long run. In the past few days, I feel that the content I have learned is not very difficult, and every day is just from the end of the afternoon after breakfast.
I don't know if it's because the valley air is good, or because this young body is full of energy, and I always feel that I have too much free time every day. So, I made a workout plan for myself, running every day, squats, push-ups, and sit-ups.
I don't have a mobile phone or a computer here, so why don't I exercise and feel the tranquility of the valley all day, can I never sit still all day and feel the tranquility of the valley? Although the most I do every day is to find a place to sit quietly and enjoy the scenery in the valley, but it's pretty much the same.
I washed my face by the stream and said to Master, "That's not it, Master. I just think that no matter what you learn or do, you must always have a good body, and I just want to exercise more. "I didn't dare to say the phrase 'idle anyway'.
The master said, "Well, yes, I see that you have learned very quickly during this time, and tomorrow the teacher will adjust the pace of teaching you, and when you have learned the basics, I will start teaching you the exercises." ”
A few months have passed, and I have basically learned all the basics. From the master's eyes, I can see his heartfelt gratification, and I guess that these contents will be replaced by other children, so I guess I will be able to study for a few years. I can't help but be a little happy when I think about it, and I think I'm a legendary genius now.
In the open space outside the bamboo house, the master said to me seriously: "From today I will teach you a set of exercises that I created myself, the name of this set of exercises is Zhen Cangdu, which is a thunder method that is based on the three exercises of the Five Thunder Mantra, the Divine Thunder Palm, and the Ben Thunder Gong. Between this heaven and earth, there is a lot of aura, and aura, which is the source of vitality for all things in this heaven and earth. The aura contained in this valley where we are located is very pure and abundant, which is why you feel energetic and refreshed every day. ”
"And the method of using the aura in our body in a regular way, or using the aura between heaven and earth according to our own will, is the exercise. It's not just us, it's other creatures who can do the same, just in different ways. Some beasts that are born with pure aura in their bodies are called spirit beasts, but the number of spirit beasts is very rare. ”
"All other natural beings absorb spiritual energy all year round, and if they have the opportunity again, they can cultivate on their own. Animals are called demons in human form, or they are called demons, and plants, trees, mountains and rocks are called spirits. For various reasons, some animals continue to exist without physical entities and are called spirits, and some are conceived by pure, dense aura for hundreds of years, or condensed by folklore, popular beliefs, etc., and we call them gods. ”
Master continued, "If we cultivate to the extreme on the righteous path, we will become immortals, but there have been no people who have cultivated to become immortals for at least a thousand years. Nowadays, many of the predecessors of the Great Cultivation have become an earth immortal in a place with sufficient aura through various methods before they sit down, that is to say, at the cost of losing their freedom and physical body, they can use the aura of a place to preserve their will for a longer time. However, it is unknown how long this will last. ”
"There will also be some people who will not be able to let go of their obsessions after death, or because they are strong-willed, and we call them ghosts. At present, there are also some special sects that specialize in cultivating ghosts in order to achieve the goal of becoming ghosts after death and keeping their spirits alive. ”
"In the end, the most hated by the people of the world are demons, who wantonly plunder the spiritual energy in the lives of others for their own selfish desires to satisfy their own powerful and immortal goals. Yu Zhen, you have to remember that the people in the Demon Dao will be punished for mutilating the common people, and if you encounter the Demon Dao Demon in the future, you can't tolerate it!" the master said in a serious tone.
"Yes, follow Master's teachings!" Although what Master said was quite serious, after all, I didn't have much concept of this so-called Demon Dao.
And I've seen in many novels and stories that those people in the rivers and lakes always degrade some unruly and powerful people as demons, but in fact these people are the real temperament. Besides, you can't generalize about everything, there will be a few bad people in the righteous path from time to time, and there will be a few good people in the demon path from time to time?
At this time, I never dreamed that many years later, there would be so many stories between me and the people in the Demon Dao, and this would lead me to make a big mistake and let hundreds of people die innocently, and I myself deeply blamed myself for the evil consequences of not listening to Master's words for the only time I didn't listen to Master's words. Therefore, don't always have so many rebellious psychology when you should be obedient, you must be obedient when you should be obedient...
"There are many attributes of the aura between heaven and earth, which are mainly divided into yang and yin, yin and yang only represent the characteristics of all things, and the two can be transformed into each other, or it can be said that the two are one. The name of yin and yang is just an artificial distinction between us, and there is no such thing as good and evil, good and evil in our usual sense. Master took a sip of medicinal tea and continued, "In yin and yang, it is also divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, etc., and the exercises that the master wants to teach you is to let you learn to use the thunder qi in your body and between heaven and earth......
"Zhen Cang decided to create a total of seven layers for the teacher, and when you practice to Xiaocheng in the future, you will find that this set of exercises has more than seven layers. However, nine is the extreme of the yang number, and the thunder qi is the power of the extreme yang, if you blindly thirst for power and forcibly cultivate to the ninth layer, you may be destroyed. Therefore, disciples, you have to remember that if you don't have a chance, Zhen Cang's cultivation to the seventh layer is the extreme, and the body of an extraordinary person above the seventh layer can control it, don't force it. ”
"Okay, let's get here today, this set of exercises can't be learned in a day or two, so don't be in a hurry, take your time. There are also some books that you can read when you are done with your homework and which books you are interested in. After the master finished speaking, he left a pile of books behind, leaving behind a dizzy me, who just felt a little swelled, and then was struck.
No way, maybe in this case it would be better if I didn't have any knowledge in my head, but there were too many fixed thoughts and fixed concepts left in my head, and it was difficult to change for a while, and I guess it would be better with future learning.
After two months, I was finally able to fully grasp the main points of the exercises in the Earthquake Decision, and Master asked me to start practicing on my own, and I would ask him any questions I had during the cultivation process, and he would regularly inspect my cultivation results. Now I live a regular and fulfilling daily life, getting up early in the morning and starting to practice, and practicing until the sun is about to set. Master said that the thunder qi is strong and swift, and it is the power of the extreme yang, and it is not as abundant as the power of the five elements in heaven and earth.
Many places where there is plenty of Thunder Qi are very dangerous, so it is usually necessary to absorb the positive Spiritual Qi in the body first, and then transform it into Thunder Qi in the body, and cultivating at night will only achieve half the result. Therefore, the rest of the time, I will flip through the books that Master gave me to learn as much as possible about the specific situation of this world.
At night, I would find a random place to meditate in the valley, and sometimes I would just go to sleep on the spot, which was really pleasant! There was no distraction in my mind caused by the trivial things of life, and since the body was only a child, there was no influence of instinctive desires in my physiology. Now I just need to feel all things in nature like this, and what can be happier than pure and natural soul?
