Chapter 81: Teaching but Can't, Opening but Not Changing!【Third Update】
In the past, Xu Yan watched any TV such as Shaolin Temple exercises, and he had seen that the master asked his apprentices to split wood and carry water, and he didn't teach any kung fu.
As a result, more than ten years have passed, and the apprentice thinks that he has not learned any kung fu, but in fact...... He used a special bucket and a firewood knife to work for more than ten years, and unknowingly became a top-level martial arts master in the rivers and lakes.
Now......
Facing the Pinghu Lake in front of him, Xu Yan kept slashing, and he didn't know why in his mind, he thought of this.
Sword after sword, Xu Yan couldn't do it at all, condensing the qi and blood in his body on the blade of the sword like Old Man Chu did.
And Old Man Chu was standing aside, as if he was an overseer, holding two walnut-like things in his hands, just kept spinning.
These two things, black and autumn, Xu Yan has seen that he often plays with old man Chu since the first day he met him.
Xu Yan also teased him more than once, he has no money to play walnuts, and he can't just make two iron lumps!
"Boy, you chop slowly...... I'm sleepy, old man, so I'll go back to sleep first. ”
After watching it for a while, Old Man Chu felt a little bored, so he patted his ass and left.
"Hey, old man Chu, what about me? How many splits, how long will it take?"
Xu Yan's face was full of black lines, what is the difference between himself and not having a master?
But in fact, what Xu Yan didn't know was that Old Man Chu's muscles and veins were all broken.
The tendons and veins are the essence of the body's vitality, and after the tendons and veins are broken, the vitality will not form a complete cycle, but is in a state of rapid passage all the time.
Therefore, Old Man Chu usually doesn't move if he can, but he is obviously a seventh-grade grandmaster, but he can't even hold a dozen catties of things.
All this is to preserve the vitality as much as possible and prolong one's lifespan.
And the demonstration of the sword just now, Old Man Chu said less...... It took five days of life.
But Old Man Chu didn't say this, he returned to the Cultural and Sports Building, stood by the usual window, held a small wine jug in his hand, looked at Xu Yan who was slashing on the shore of Pinghu with a smile, and then took a small sip gently.
……
And Xu Yan kept slashing, while chopping while recalling in his mind the momentum of Old Man Chu's splitting of water.
Of course......
If you are idle, you still have to report Old Man Chu.
Old man Chu didn't understand how to teach me to split water, so he pretended to be profound, wasting my time and energy. ”
But......
The subject of the report adopts the most appropriate teaching method, which is not able to teach, and it is not open. 】
"What does it mean to teach but not be able to open and not to change?"
Xu Yan pondered while chopping water.
From the very beginning, Old Man Chu taught himself to practice martial arts, but he did not teach specific methods.
He just explained to himself, the essence of martial arts, and showed himself ...... The effect that needs to be achieved.
Is this what you can't teach?
It does not give you a specific way to learn, but gives you a direction, points to the essence of things, and makes you clear the right direction at the beginning.
And to open up but not to dissolve, is like a dragonfly in water, the complex and profound theory, gently mention it to you, but do not do his personal subjective interpretation and interpretation.
Equivalent to, tell you...... Walking down this road, there will be beautiful scenery.
However, it will not tell you what the scenery on the road is, but you need to see it with your own eyes.
Such a teaching method......
It's the most appropriate!
Today's liberal arts and martial arts teaching is a rigid "according to the map", even those so-called famous teachers, with their own refined summary of some shortcut methods, although it can help students make rapid progress, but it deprives students of divergent thinking and a variety of possibilities in the learning process.
The same road, different people walk at different times, they will find different scenery and see different beauty.
If you just follow the experience and lessons given by your predecessors and use the fastest speed to pass this road, then you will see at most similar to your predecessors, but you will miss more beautiful scenery that others have not discovered.
This kind of education method is "teaching but not being able to teach, and opening up but not changing".
The role of the teacher is not to instill in you countless shortcuts and insights and analysis, but to lead you to understand the essence and see the end point that needs to be achieved.
I've pointed out the beginning and the end to you, and this one in the middle...... You can go on your own, whatever you want, because this is your own way!
"So that's the case, Old Man Chu's method is trouble-free. It's all up to me?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yan got rid of distracting thoughts, no longer thinking about and imitating the scene of Old Man Chu splitting water, but concentrated and used his spirit to comprehend the wooden sword in his hand.
If I concentrate my momentum on the blade of the sword, then I must first perceive the wooden sword......
However, my subconscious mind has only controlled it a little, and the [Immortal Reincarnation Yin and Yang Concept Idea] can't be separated from the body at all, and even the bones of the arm can't be completely tempered and mastered, so how can I assimilate and communicate with the wooden sword in my hand?
Wrinkling slightly, Xu Yan felt that the wooden sword in his hand was a little abrasive, obviously it was in his hand, but there was a kind of ...... A foreign body sensation like a thorn in the flesh.
Mechanically chopping again and again, Xu Yan observed his qi and blood power, about thirty slashes, it would consume a little of his vitality.
His current vitality is only sixty points, and after more than a thousand slashes, Xu Yan's vitality has been exhausted, and his right arm is a little sore, and he can't raise his strength.
However, after sitting on the ground and resting for a while, the vitality began to recover slowly, and it took about ten minutes to regain a little vitality.
It was too slow, so Xu Yan directly used positive energy to replenish his vitality.
And then continue to slash tirelessly like this, regardless of the numbness of the right arm, it is just one word, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, ......chop,
"This kid is really a ruthless person!"
Seeing that Xu Yan didn't have the slightest idea of going home, he kept slashing in the moonlight, Old Man Chu was not so kind to stay with him all the time, and he yawned and went back to sleep comfortably.
If he insisted on watching for a while, he would find that Xu Yan's vitality seemed to be endless, even if he slashed for a few hours and slashed tens of thousands of swords, the power of each sword still did not decrease in the slightest.
If ordinary people slashed like this, they would slash five or six times a minute at most, but Xu Yan slashed desperately and non-stop, almost every two seconds.
Thirty times a minute!
That's 1,800 times an hour.
It is equivalent to consuming 60 points of life force in one hour, and 60 points of positive energy need to be replenished.
Under such intensity, Xu Yan continued to slash for six hours.
Motionless, as if a wooden man had been nailed here, only his right hand kept moving towards the water.
There is only one action from beginning to end, chop, chop, ......chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, cho
