Chapter Eighty-Five: Swords and Fire Piles
As one of the foundations of martial arts, pile gong is like the first stone brick laid before the construction of a high-rise building, it is particularly important, no matter what kind of martial arts, whether it is external or internal, it must start with this pile of martial arts, before you can start to practice.
Nowadays, Zhong Li's cultivation of Xingyi Fist, Dragon Elephant Praruo Gong, Thirteen Taibao Heng Lian Tie Cloth Shirt and other martial arts are the same, don't look at Zhong Li's cultivation of Dragon Elephant Praruo and Heng Lian Tie Cloth Shirt, he just simply sat on the ground and practiced Gong, but in fact, it was also a pile.
Pile Gong is the same as the magic weapon, it is a broader concept, the martial artist calls it the pile, the immortal cultivator calls it meditation, and the magician in the Western world calls it meditation, the name is strange, and the way of expression is also different, but the essence is the same, all of them strengthen themselves through a specific form.
Therefore, this pile gong is not a low-level martial arts, as a basis, the level of pile gong is related to the martial arts of its subordinates, a saint-level martial arts has its own pile gong, and a non-streamed martial arts also has its own pile gong, which is the level between martial arts, and the concept of pile gong has nothing to do with it, there is no need to feel very high and lofty when you hear meditation, and think that it is very unpopular when you hear about standing and sitting on a pile.
In martial arts, pile gong is divided into two kinds, one is a moving pile, the other is a static pile, the former is the basis of skills, such as footwork, boxing, swordsmanship, the latter is the basis of exercises, such as internal strength, hard work, qigong, of course, there is also a combination of movement and static, as if Zhongli is now practicing the shape of the meaning, the dragon elephant is like a ruo, and the horizontal practice of iron cloth shirts, all of which are dynamic and static, complementing each other.
The static pile is a pure cultivation method, and generally speaking, it cannot be used to compete, so the pile gong that Yuan Mu just mentioned should refer to the moving pile.
In this regard, Zhongli is still very confident, in terms of cultivation alone, he may not be as good as Yuan Mu, who has already achieved the great master of the earth, but he has cultivated the form and meaning of the martial arts, and the moving pile is one of the foundations of the form and meaning, naturally it is not weak, if it is a single pile skill, Yuan Mu's chance of winning is not big, unless he has some unexpected means......
Thinking of this, Zhongli faintly understood something, looked up at Yuan Mu, and asked, "Sword Mountain Fire Sea, Sword Fire Pile?"
"Hah!"
Yuan Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Little brother is really a learned person, even our Bameng's sword and fire pile knows, then you should also know the risks, how, do you still want to try?"
Zhongli smiled and said, "Let's go and see it first, and then we'll talk about it." ”
"Good!"
Hearing this, Yuan Mu didn't care, and agreed in one bite, saying: "Calculate the time, this knife pile should also be ready, let's go over now, please!"
"Please!"
Zhongli nodded, and walked out of the stilted building with Yuan Mu, and happened to meet Meng Hao, who came back from fetching wine, and the three of them walked together and came directly to the square in front of the Bamengzu Temple.
On the square where the song and dance were originally playing, a large open space has now been cleared, and in the open space there are wooden stakes of different lengths, and long knives are inserted in the wooden stakes, which shine in the sunlight, flashing with a terrifying cold light.
Beneath the stake is also covered with pitch-black charcoal and firewood, and once lit, it is a scene of a sea of fire.
At this time, Zhongli also reopened the closed live broadcast and presented this picture to the audience who were waiting in the live broadcast room.
"Why is it going off the air without making a sound!"
"Is it that the girl of the Miao family is not ashamed or impatient, wait, what's the situation?"
"It's not like the anchor you hooked up with someone else's girl, so you have to be sent to the fire and burned to death, right?"
"Even if that's the case, ignition is enough, so why put so many knives in the wood?"
Looking at the knife piles erected in the square, everyone was full of surprise, fortunately, at this time, Yuan Mu beside Zhongli started to explain at a very timely time.
"The sword and fire pile, on the day of Juneteenth, we Bamun in order to worship the ancestors to hold an event, after erecting the sword pile, and then lighting the fire under the pile, the warriors blessed by the witch will climb the sword and fire pile, dance the ancient war dance, pray for the protection of the ancestors and the blessing of nature. ”
At this point, Yuan Mu looked at Zhongli again and said with a smile: "Once, we Bameng used this sword fire pile as a test for the warriors in the clan, only strong and tenacious warriors can complete the battle dance on this sword fire pile, but unfortunately, there are not many people who can pass. ”
"What are you kidding, dancing on here?"
"If you accidentally fall down, then you won't be able to finish your life?"
"What kind of warrior trial, this is clearly a matter of disregard for human life, you won't play the anchor too, right?"
Yuan Mu's words made the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly in an uproar, and their favorability towards Yuan Mu and Ba Meng was declining rapidly.
Fortunately, at this time, Yuan Mu said again: "Because it is too dangerous, after Bamon moved here, this trial was gradually abandoned, and the warriors who passed the trial completed the battle dance on the sword and fire pile, so as to avoid unnecessary losses." ”
At this time, Meng Hao, who was following the two of them, suddenly stepped forward and said to Zhongli: "Zhai Lao is the most powerful warrior of our Bameng, and in the past few years, he has completed the war dance on the sword and fire pile, praying for the protection of the ancestors. ”
"Hah!"
Yuan Mu smiled, waved his hand to let Meng Hao retreat, and then said to Zhongli: "It's really unfair to you to compete on this sword and fire pile, but this is our Bameng's rules, even I can't change it, so I can only say sorry!"
"It's okay!"
Zhongli shook his head and said, "Follow the customs, since you have arrived in Bamon, then follow Bamon's rules and light the fire." ”
Yuan Mu frowned, and said in surprise: "So you still have to try?"
Zhongli smiled and said, "Human life is at stake, you have to give it a try." ”
"Okay!" Hearing this, Yuan Mu no longer hesitated, and immediately said to the Miao family man next to the sword fire pile: "Light the fire and welcome our guests of Bameng." ”
"Yes!"
Although they didn't know the meaning of their own village elders' words, a few people still carried out the order, and threw the torches that had already been lit in their hands into the firewood under the swordsmen's fires.
Seeing this scene, the people in the audience, even the audience in the live broadcast room, felt frightened and shouted one after another.
"What is this going to do?"
"Anchor, are you going to go up?"
"No kidding, this fall will kill you!"
"The anchor seems to have said that he came to this Miao Village to find an antidote to Gu poison, shouldn't this be a test to get an antidote?"
"Yes, yes, I remember, there is such a thing!"
"Give the medicine, don't give it, what do you do with all this mess?"
"It's too much......"
