"There is a sentence I need to say earlier, about whether a martial artist can have other powers that are different from true qi, I still have a negative attitude towards this, and advise Xiaoyou, don't think too much about it, this is a wrong way to go. ”

"Well, okay. ”

Xu Lian nodded, after all, the birthmark power was his secret, and there was no need to take it out to slap Master Zu Ji's face.

Zu Ji smiled and continued: "Then I said, the so-called true qi, in fact, everyone has it, Taoism, Buddhism, and even doctors have their own understanding of these two words, but I still say that sentence, the same way, no matter what the understanding, true qi is a kind of power that objectively exists in the dantian, the only difference is that martial artists can use the exercises to constantly strengthen and refine the true qi, and ordinary people can't even perceive its existence, which is a major key to what I want to tell you, qi sense."

As the name suggests, qi sense, that is, the ability to sense true qi.

Martial artists practice hard and pursue exercises, the first goal is to open the sense of qi, only if you can perceive the true qi, you can control the possibility of the true qi, you say this is the truth, when the qi sense is opened, you can perceive the lower abdomen dantian, or there is heat flowing, or like a needle prick slightly painful, that is the true qi. ”

Xu Lian thought about it, according to Zu Ji's statement, his sense of qi should be a result of long-term and unremitting practice of "Iron Fighting", and when he reaches a certain temperature, he will naturally get it.

"After I went back last night, Qingshan contacted me again and said more about you, he said that you can detect the true qi on his body, which means that you also have a sense of qi, and you are likely to have a sense of weather. ”

Zu Ji's eyes lit up slightly, and he said with a smile, "The sense of the weather is an extremely high talent among martial artists, Qingshan he doesn't have a complete inheritance, and he doesn't know much about things, so he doesn't react much to you, but in the eyes of some old cultivators, you are a good material, and you must be accepted and inherited the mantle." ”

Xu Lian was stunned, Zu Ji said earlier that he was scorning himself, in fact, that was an excuse, his real purpose was to find out that he might have a sense of the weather and wanted to call him a disciple.

"So, if you want, you can come and ......"

"I believe in great socialism, core values, and spiritual values. ”

"Huh?"

Zu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xu Lian was turning a corner to reject him.

If you return the core values of socialism, ism, and heart, you can just say that you don't believe in Buddhism!

Smiling gently, Zu Ji said: "You don't have to worry about this, Buddhism accepts disciples, subdivided, there are almost three categories, one is to ask the Buddha wholeheartedly, sincere monks, one is good at operation, good at making money, and the third category is the talented, martial arts talent, strictly speaking, only the first kind of disciples, we will ask for faith, the last two are actually not needed." ”

Can it still be like this?

Xu Lian was stunned when he heard this.

But soon, he also understood, the ancients talked about wealth and law, and if a sect wants to survive, it will naturally have to be supported by a large amount of funds, without these secular disciples, there are so many people in Shaolin, who will be responsible for food and clothing?

What Zu Ji asked him to do was naturally the third type of disciple, inheriting the martial arts mastery, and the real reason why the Shaolin lineage could support its longevity in the martial arts world!

"Little friend, what do you think?"

"I appreciate your appreciation of me, but I still can't say yes. ”

Xu Lian clasped his hands together and apologized, "Moreover, I don't have a sense of weather and can perceive true qi, because I also inherited an exercise from an old gentleman, but after he left the exercises, he traveled in all directions, so I don't know anything about the martial arts world." ”

"I see. ”

Zu Ji's attitude was much calmer, "Since you have a heritage, I can't force anything, of course, the acquired innocence is not easy to come by, and I hope that Xiaoyou can concentrate on cultivation and stop thinking about other useless things." ”

"Haha, that's for sure, by the way, since there are martial artists, there should be levels and the like, right?"

"Yes. ”

Zu Ji nodded, "Martial artists are divided into nine grades, from nine to one, such as climbing a mountain, their strength is getting stronger and stronger, and among the martial artists in the world, there are only five of them!"

Xu Lian's heart sank, and he suddenly wanted to see what kind of peerless elegance a first-class martial artist was.

But when it came to his mouth, Xu Lian still changed to a practical question: "I'm curious, what level am I now?"

Zu Ji said with a smile: "True qi is like a bottle, it means that you have entered the hall, called a nine-rank martial artist, you can feel it yourself." ”

Xu Lian pondered for a while: "How big is this bottle you are talking about?"

"This ......"

Zu Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Like a bottle, it does not refer to the capacity, but to his trajectory, let's put it this way, when you run the true qi, it is like pouring out of the bottle, the amount of true qi is small, and even the slightest wisp is pure, then this is equivalent to the true qi is like a bottle." ”

Small amount?

How does this seem to describe a woman's great aunt?

So this martial artist level is defined by a certain female senior!

Xu Lian thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "At present, my true qi can only be trapped in the dantian and cannot come out. ”

"It's impossible to be trapped, it can only be said that your sense of qi has just opened, and you can't control this step, let's just be a nine-rank martial artist, concentrate on cultivation, sooner or later you will achieve the true qi that the poor monk said. ”

"Probably. ”

Xu Lian smiled embarrassedly.

With the urine nature of the strength of the birthmark, I'm afraid that for a while, he won't be able to understand the meaning of true qi like a bottle.

At this time, Zu Ji glanced at the time and said, "It's not early, it's time for the poor monk to take Qinghui back to restore his life, Xiaoyou, if you have any confusion, you can ask another question." ”

"Just a question?"

"Qinghui violated the taboo of the door rules, I naturally hope to take him back as soon as possible, and I hope that Xiaoyou Haihan. ”

"That'll do. ”

Xu Lian groaned and asked, "Those two little masters outside look only a little older than me, I'm curious, master, how can you have such a young junior brother, is the age span of the junior brothers in Shaolin so big?"

Zu Ji was stunned for a moment: "This is your problem?"

"That's right. ”

“……”

Zu Ji also thought that he would ask how to be as true as a bottle, who knows, his focus is so clear that his train of thought has been broken.

After a few dry coughs, Zu Ji finally explained: "That is a pair of brothers who were accidentally accepted by the master when he went out to wander, the thinner Dharma name Zu Feng is the first weather sense, and the fatter Dharma name Zu Tong, although the talent is not as good as Zu Feng, but it is not bad, within a month, you can open the sense of qi and control the true qi, you must know that if you are an ordinary martial artist, it will take three months to open the qi sooner, and it will even take about four or five years to slow it will take about four or five years, if these times still can't be done, then it can only prove that this martial artist has exhausted his talents, and he will be like this for life." ”

One month?

Xu Lian was stunned, he had been practicing his "Iron Gong" for ten years, but he was able to open his sense of qi recently, which is too ironic!

No, Zu Ji said before, if you are slower, you will open up your sense of qi in four or five years, but you have used it for ten years, which doesn't make sense at all!
