Chapter 12: The Way of Fire and Ice

Finally learned Zuo Lengchan's "Cold Ice True Scripture", and his long-cherished wish for many years was achieved, not to mention the joy in his heart, however, Lin Han was not satisfied, so many years of calculations were not only for the true qi of cold ice, but also for the true qi of the fire attribute Lin Han did not want to give up.

Lin Han looked at Zuo Lengchan with glowing eyes, looking at it inexplicably. Zuo Lengchan was full of doubts, and said in his heart: Lao Tzu even passed on the "Cold Ice Sutra" to you, what else should I do?

Finding that his virtue was not very good-looking, Lin Han scratched his head and said, "Uncle Shi, do you know how to herd sheep?" “

"Why did you get involved with sheep herding again?" Zuo Lengchan was puzzled and said, "How can Uncle Shi herd sheep, but he can." ”

Lin Han said hehehe: "Then I'll tell Uncle Shi, you may not know, when you herd sheep, one is just a herding, a group is also released, you know, hehe." ”

Still confused, Zuo Lengchan asked: "Who else do you want to teach the "Cold Ice True Scripture" to, tell you, no one else thinks about it except you, do you really think it's a big road goods?" ”

"No, uncle, don't get me wrong", Lin Han hurriedly explained, this problem is serious. Seeing that Zuo Lengchan didn't understand what he meant, Lin Han said directly: "Uncle Shi, look, since this has made a "Cold Ice True Scripture" from the Songshan Mental Method, is it possible to get a "Red Fire True Scripture" again?" ”

Zuo Lengchan smiled: "What, isn't a cold ice scripture enough for you to practice?" ”

Ding Mian also said: "Xiao Han, don't be greedy, a higher martial arts course is enough, as long as you practice to a high depth, you can go to the rivers and lakes." ”

Lin Han shook his head and said: "Master, uncle, the disciple is not such an impetuous person, and naturally knows the truth that greed is not too much to chew, but the disciple will say it himself, listen to me slowly." ”

"Oh" The two of them became interested and motioned for Lin Han to continue.

"First of all, from the big picture, since our Songshan faction takes the millennium faction as the development goal, it is natural to have a lot of advanced martial arts, like the Shaolin faction has seventy-two stunts, I have never heard of someone in Shaolin saying that seventy-two stunts are practiced, as long as a few people can practice one of them, Shaolin will never be short of masters", Lin Han continued, "Is it really just that Shaolin disciples are extremely talented, and the disciples don't think so, the fundamental reason is that there are many advanced cheats to choose from, As long as the talent is good and the exercises are appropriate, the martial arts will naturally be high after diligent study and hard practice. ”

Zuo Lengchan nodded: "What you said is very reasonable, the world only thinks that Shaolin is a master, and also knows that Shaolin has seventy-two stunts, but few people consider the relationship between the two, and only think that it is enough to have a masterpiece." ”

"Yes, it's not that you can cultivate peerless martial arts by giving people a book of peerless martial arts, but if you have a bunch of peerless martial arts to choose from and still have mediocre martial arts, it's really stupider than a pig." Lin Han saw that Zuo Lengchan began to agree with his own point of view, and knew that today's matter was half done. Decided to add more fire, and said: "The disciple thinks that although talent is important, the heart is more critical, and if you can find a martial arts secret book that fits the heart to cultivate, you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Ding Mian said: "You think that the absolute school is a cabbage, where to find a bunch for you to choose." ”

"That's why we need our efforts, on the basis of not forgetting the mastery of our predecessors, we will try to gain as much as possible, and the accumulation of less will naturally become more." Lin Han continued: "However, the disciple believes that the Shaolin way is not worth learning from us, and without that condition, Wudang is our role model. ”

"Go on," Zuo Lengchan said excitedly.

Lin Han nodded, knowing that the matter was done, as long as Zuo Lengchan affirmed his thoughts, what he wanted would be done. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Han decided to draw a big cake for Zuo Lengchan and Ding Mian to hang around his neck. Continue to analyze: "Wudang is the most famous in the world is naturally the Tai Chi Shen Gong founded by Zhang Zhenren back then, the Wudang martial arts system is the most appropriate to compare to a tree, Tai Chi boxing, Tai Chi swordsmanship is the top fruit, Tai Chi heart method is the upper part of the main pole of the tree, the basic martial arts of the Wudang school is the foundation and the lower part of the main pole, and other such as the chaotic splitting wind swordsmanship, the cloud ladder light gong, etc. are branches; Wudang disciples learn the basic heart method when they get started, and then the low qualifications develop in the direction of the branch, and the high qualifications learn the Tai Chi heart method, so that there are not only the top masters who have learned Tai Chi boxing and Tai Chi swords, but also the first-class masters who can split the wind and the light skills of the cloud ladder, so why worry about the development of the sect. ”

Zuo Lengchan rubbed his chin lightly and said, "Then according to you, what about my Songshan faction?" ”

Knowing that the meat drama was coming, Lin Han said in a positive voice: "There is no need to change the foundation, ordinary disciples still focus on the first five layers of the Songshan Heart Method, the basic boxing method, and the basic sword technique, and after the disciple's internal strength is cultivated to the fourth layer, the seventeen road Songshan sword technique and the first five layers of the Great Songyang Divine Palm will be taught as appropriate; After his internal strength is cultivated to the fifth level of the Great Perfection, he will teach high-level internal strength and mental methods, such as the last four layers of the Songshan mental method, such as the Cold Ice Sutra, and then the Red Fire Sutra and the like. ”

Zuo Lengchan smiled: "You just want the internal strength of the fire attribute so much. ”

Lin Han nodded and said, "The reasons for this will be discussed later, let's finish the martial arts system first." ”

Ding Mian asked, "Is there anything behind?" ”

"Well, there is the most important point", Lin Han continued: "The disciple thinks that the Cold Ice True Scripture is definitely comparable to most of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, but it may be slightly inferior to Shaolin's I Ching, the Two Sutras of Washing the Marrow and the Tai Chi Divine Skill of Wudang, although no one in the Shaolin and Wudang factions can practice those stunts, but we have to guard against that day." ”

Zuo Lengchan said: "At present, it seems that Fang Zheng and Chongxu have indeed not practiced those divine skills, but Xiao Han is right, even if it is not for himself, he should also think about the future of Songshan." ”

"So the disciple has an idea, that is, even after the fifth level of the Songshan Mental Method, it will be divided into three paths, all the way to practice the last four layers of the Songshan Mental Method according to the master, all the way to practice the Cold Ice Sutra according to the master's experience, and all the way to practice a fire exercise; These three roads, no matter which way to succeed, will become the top master on the rivers and lakes, this is the most effective way to usually time, if I Songshan sent the favor of God, to obtain a talent and perseverance are the top disciples, then if there is a Wudang Taiji Shengong that integrates yin and yang, the same practitioner ice and fire and integrate it into one, then the rivers and lakes will be Songshan respected. After saying this, Lin Han looked at Zuo Lengchan and asked, "In this way, what does Uncle Shi think?" ”

At this time, Zuo Lengchan and Ding Mian were not just surprised, but extremely shocked, they always thought that Lin Han was a person who didn't have much to ask for, and the person who could easily give up the position of the head of Songshan naturally did not have much ambition, but he didn't expect that he completely misunderstood what Lin Han meant, he just didn't look down on the position of the head, he had greater ambitions, that is, to create an era.

Zuo Lengchan is really surprised and excited, men should be like this, and children should be like this. glanced at Ding Mian gratefully, fortunately, the junior brother accepted him as a disciple earlier, he shouldn't have been bound by such mundane things as the head of the family, he should have a broader sky.

calming down the excitement in his heart, Zuo Lengchan asked, "You just said the big aspect, is there still a small aspect?" ”

Lin Han nodded again and said: "Yes, the small aspect is the personal development of the disciple, and now the disciple's internal strength is just the fifth level of the Great Perfection, so I want to practice the two exercises of ice and fire, in addition to the ones mentioned above, there are two reasons. ”

After thinking about it, Lin Han continued: "One is the disciple's guess, if the Cold Ice True Sutra is cultivated to Dacheng and then transferred to the fire attribute exercises, it may not be possible to achieve the fusion of ice and fire because of the restraint of ice and fire, and there will even be danger, so the disciple wants to keep the two internal forces of ice and fire in a balanced state from the beginning; The other is that the Cold Ice True Sutra can only be cultivated for one hour at night, and it is completely wasted during the day, so the disciple wants to cultivate the fire internal strength for an hour at noon. ”

Ding Mian looked at Lin Han with a worried face at this time, and said: "It's a good thing to have such ambitions, Master was worried that you were too indifferent, but this road is absolutely difficult, from ancient times to the present, only Zhang Zhenren of Wudang has succeeded, and he is taking the road of yin and yang based on Taoism, the Tao is based on health preservation, and the danger is naturally much smaller, but your way of ice and fire is different, as the saying goes, 'water and fire are ruthless', your way of ice and fire is dangerous and can be imagined, are you really sure to take this road?" ”

Lin Han was very moved in his heart, this master really didn't admit his mistake, but he had a goal in his heart, and he had to stick to it no matter what.

Lin Han looked directly into Ding Mian's eyes and said, "The disciple doesn't want to give up. ”

Zuo Lengchan also knew that once he set foot on this road, it would be difficult to turn back, so he persuaded him: "Xiao Han, Uncle Shi doesn't know where you come from insecurity, you don't have to explain, no teenager will pressure himself to practice like you, what Uncle Shi wants to say is that no matter when, Uncle Shi will protect you thoroughly, even if you just practice the Cold Ice Sutra, you can also become a master." ”

"The disciple had this idea five years ago, and he will never give up, fortunately, the master has created the Cold Ice True Sutra, and the disciple is already half relaxed, this is already a gift from God, and I dare not complain again." Although Lin Han didn't know where Zuo Lengchan saw the truth in the deepest part of his soul, he didn't want to explain it anymore, it was just the instinctive reaction of a mature soul in a strange world, maybe when he achieved martial arts, he could eliminate the uneasiness at the bottom of his soul.

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "That "Cold Ice True Scripture, don't be in a hurry to cultivate these days, let the master think about it again." Then he waved his hand to Lin Han: "You go down first, and your master and your master will study and study again." ”

"It's uncle, master, the disciple retired first." Lin Han bowed and retreated.

Only Zuo Lengchan and Ding Mian were left in the study, and no one spoke, and the quiet room seemed even quieter at the moment.

I don't know how long it took, Zuo Lengchan spoke: "Watching this child grow up since I was a child, I never knew that he also had a world in his heart, and it was so big that the senior brother felt old. ”

"Yes", Ding Mian said: "Xiao Han, this kid has been different from other disciples since he was a child, he deliberately approached you and me at the beginning, but I don't know when it started, that kid is really close to you and me from the heart, I originally thought that he was close to me just for you, senior brother, but I didn't expect to become my disciple willingly in the end." ”

Zuo Lengchan sighed: "Yes, it is also because of him that you and my brothers are much closer. For a moment, I felt like he was my grandson. ”

Ding Mian said: "It's not bad to have such a grandson, why don't you just get closer, so long has passed since the events of the year, it's time to let go, isn't it good to have a kid by your side in the future?" ”

"No need, why rely on that kind of false name to connect, there is nothing bad about the relationship between the teacher and the nephew." Zuo Lengchan put away his nostalgic thoughts: "Don't talk about this, try to help him." ”

The sunrise on the Fengzen platform was beautiful, and Lin Han leaned quietly against the stone wall, squinting his eyes to the east, until he was disturbed by the slight sound of footsteps.

"It turns out that you are really here, Xu Zheng's little guy is not lying." Listening to the voice is Ding Mian.

Lin Han smiled and said, "How dare he lie to you, it was the disciple who explained to him." ”

"The sunrise of Fengzentai is very beautiful", Ding Mian accompanied Lin Han to look at the sunrise and said, "Your master and uncle have already retreated, let you wait for another month, and hand over the ice and fire cheats to you after leaving the customs."

"Hmm", Lin Han only felt a warm current passing through his heart.
