Chapter 26: The Way of Internal Qi (I)
Chang Yu and Zhan Nao and others climbed the heavy bluestone steps, and walked under the eight bronze lions with teeth and claws, and they actually felt a sense of horror in their hearts, for fear that which bronze lion next to them would pounce on as soon as they waved their heads and raised their claws. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This stone staircase, which is only a hundred steps, even made everyone rest three times before climbing to the top, looking back at the steps, as if standing on a small hillside.
Standing in front of two crimson wooden doors, the gate is three feet high, and on the huge stone pillars on both sides of the wooden door, there are eight bronze lion beast heads from the stone face that are about to come out of the stone face, poking out the sharp teeth of Sensen.
In the middle of the two doors, a large bronze severed dagger was embedded in the wooden door. This dagger is the broken dagger on the mask of the Golden Piercing Gate.
With a squeak, the door slowly opened, the copper dagger split into two, retreated to two, and a ray of bright light penetrated through the crack in the door, hitting Chang Yu's eyes, revealing an inexhaustible broad field of vision:
Stretching out from the bluestone slab in front of you is a huge square that can accommodate 3,000 people.
The bluestone slabs and bricks built one after another are like fields and criss-cross, dividing the square into 20 square fields.
Flag hunting on each field, there are two people in the field staggered flying, swords and swords, fighting, onlookers cheering is undulating, as if even the audience is secretly competing.
The huge square is very lively!
Behind the square, there is a majestic courtyard of houses, stretching east and west, like a huge square with arms in front of you.
The more you look back, the pavilions, the blue lake and the forests, are scattered among thousands of houses, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the backyard of the palace of a great country.
At the end of this courtyard, a tall hill suddenly rises from the ground, more than ten zhang high, in the attic of the red wall and blue tiles all around, it seems abrupt and tall, on the hill, the mountains and forests are covered, full of verdant, in the early morning mist reveals a few majestic buildings, I don't know who lives.
Chang Yu and the others followed a disciple in Tsing Yi, walked down the steps, and walked in the direction of the courtyard on the opposite side.
Since arriving at a restaurant-like shop opposite the Golden Gate, an old man with a shiny face greeted him from a hall with wooden signs of various colors on the walls, took the master of Changliu Hall and Yan Jing and others upstairs, and sent a person in charge to complete their registration procedures, and sent this disciple in Tsing Yi to take Chang Yu and others to the side room arranged in the door to stay.
Before the delicate woman in black went upstairs, Chang Yu felt as if he was swept away by her cold eyes again, and when he turned around, the woman had already disappeared.
However, his doubts had long been dispelled by the novelty of first arriving in Puyang City and entering the Thorn Gold Gate.
At this time, Chang Yu was looking at the square with interest.
Listening to what Senior Brother Fang, the leader of the team, every morning, there would be disciples from the Golden Gate who would go to the square to compete and test.
There are a total of 20 branches in the Golden Gate, and each branch has a small square field, which is used for the disciples in the branch hall to compete and compete with the disciples of other branches.
Looking at the crowded venues, it can be seen that there are many people in the Golden Gate and their love for martial arts.
"Senior Brother Fang, we have become disciples of the Golden Sect, when can we start practicing martial arts?" Zhan Zhi threw out the questions that had been held all the way.
Chang Yu and the others also paid attention to this issue and listened attentively.
The disciple in Tsing Yi smiled slightly, and replied skillfully, "If it is a disciple who is shortlisted in the official selection of the Piercing Golden Gate, you can directly become an inner disciple, and after choosing a branch of the Piercing Golden Gate, the branch will assign a sect leader according to the qualifications of the sect leader, and start practicing martial arts under the guidance of the sect leader." ”
"Because you are selected by the Chang Hall Master in the military camp, you are currently directly assigned to the Feiyun Hall, and there will be a sect leader to guide your Qi cultivation in three days. But at present, you are only the outer disciples of the Golden Gate, and only when you successfully condense the internal qi in your body and pass the test can you become an inner disciple. Only when he became a disciple of the inner gate could he truly start the road of martial arts and qi refining in the Golden Gate. ”
It turned out that he had worked so hard, but he was just an outer disciple, and everyone looked at each other.
Chang Yu couldn't help but ask, "May I ask Senior Brother Fang, what is the difference between this inner disciple and the outer disciple?" ”
"If it's just for newcomers in the door, it's just a difference in the order of entry. The elders believe that the inner disciples are formally selected, and their qualifications will win a few points, while the outer disciples are recruited by lowering the threshold, and the good and the bad are mixed, and many of them enter the Golden Gate in this way after losing in the selection, so there will be a round of test of condensing internal qi for everyone. After all, if you can't even condense your internal qi, you really have nothing to do with martial arts, and you can't carry out the assassination order in the door, and the assassination gate will also persuade you to find another way out. The disciple in Tsing Yi said again.
There was a little embarrassment among the crowd for a while, and Zhan Zhi's face was even more red, looking left and right, obviously his curved and circuitous route was broken by this Senior Brother Fang.
The disciple in Tsing Yi looked at everyone's faces and said with a smile, "However, there have always been no outstanding talents among the outer disciples, and they have finally become the mainstay of the Piercing Golden Sect. The recognized martial arts wizard in the sect, the deputy sect master of Feng Tianhe, was born among your outer disciples, and there are also some excellent senior brothers, so you don't have to worry, maybe some of you will be able to reach the peak of martial arts in the future. ”
I don't know if the last sentence is to comfort everyone, but it does ignite some hope and fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.
Seeing this, the disciple in Tsing Yi added, "In addition to the newcomers, many of the outer disciples are from other hundred sects, and even maverick ranger swordsmen, who are only named in our sect for the purpose of receiving assassination orders and bounties, and they are not really people in the sect. Most of these people are masters who have cultivated to more than seven or eight ranks, and as a supplement to the power of executing the assassination order, we will also hand over the excess assassination order in the door to these outer disciples to execute, and charge a certain commission for the information and assassination order provided, which is beneficial to both parties. Hehe, this is far away, and you can have a deeper understanding in the future. The first task at hand is to concentrate on refining qi and condensing the internal qi in the dantian. ”
Chang Yu had long been puzzled by the specific situation of Qi training and martial arts cultivation that these martial arts practitioners said, and he had not had the opportunity to ask the old man of Qingyang for advice before, and Zhao Lichang was even more secretive, and this Zhan Zhi was also a half-hanger, and now when he arrived in the Golden Gate, he asked this senior brother for advice with the questions in his heart.
"Everything has a reason. Born in heaven and earth, contained in nature, essence and blood, seven souls and six spirits, and qi wanders between subtlety. Those who practice martial arts condense the qi that is scattered in the body in the dantian to form a spherical 'internal qi' that runs in the body. Only with internal qi can we support the performance of martial arts and strange arts. The disciple in Tsing Yi explained.
