Chapter 5: Martial Arts

Yi Jiuxiao was born in a martial arts family in his previous life, he loved to practice martial arts since he was a child, and constantly sought progress and breakthroughs in martial arts cultivation.

"It's a pity that the old man can't teach you personally!" the man in white sighed heavily.

"Old man Panji, his body died early, and what is in front of you is only a remnant of a wisp of divine thought, and after today, he will completely disappear from this world. ”

The surprise in his eyes flickered on Yi Jiuxiao's face, it turned out that the senior standing in front of him was not a living person, but only a remnant of divine thoughts, what was a divine thought, was it a ghost? In the Song Dynasty, the theory of ghosts was quite popular.

"Divine thoughts are divine thoughts, not ghosts, martial arts cultivation to a certain level, will produce divine thoughts, my soul has long since dissipated, this valley is where I died back then. ”

Panji continued: "My martial arts inheritance was inherited at the time of the opening of the world, but it was transformed by the rules of Pangu, and then it was feared by the way of heaven, and successively instigated the cultivators to be enemies of the martial arts. ”

It turned out that this humanoid valley was smashed by you, Yi Jiuxiao felt incredible, the length of the valley was more than 100 zhang, and the width was also dozens of zhang, how big a person would it take to smash it out. But in addition to doubt, there is some belief.

"The old man's Dharma body back then was a hundred zhang high, and if you succeed in martial arts in the future, you can reach or even surpass. Alas...... I've been waiting for today for a long time, the years have almost exhausted my divine thoughts, I can't talk to you anymore, I'll teach you the secrets of martial arts right away, and cultivate on your own in the future. ”

I saw that the figure of the man in white became illusory, turned into a scripture book, and disappeared after falling on the top of Yi Jiuxiao's head, and even the surrounding space disappeared together, Yi Jiuxiao returned to the valley again, facing the seven pools, everything was like waking up from a big dream. Unlike dreaming, a scripture appeared in his mind, with three big words on the cover, "Open Heavenly Scripture".

Yi Jiuxiao's mind moved, and he wanted to take a look at the content of the scriptures, but who knew that the scriptures actually opened by themselves, and what entered his consciousness were some ancient words and graphics. Fortunately, Yi Jiuxiao is a child of a family, in addition to practicing martial arts since childhood, he also read poetry and books, most of those ancient characters are recognized, and the graphics are intuitive and easy to understand.

As a child of a family, Yi Jiuxiao was also proficient in martial arts in his previous life, and he read a lot of various classics from childhood to adulthood, including foreign kung fu and internal cultivation. However, the so-called martial arts recorded in the preface of the "Open Heaven Sutra" are very different from the martial arts cultivation in his previous life.

The first difference is that in the division of realms, there is no obvious realm in martial arts cultivation, only the difference between novices, skilled hands, and masters. The martial arts cultivation has a distinct division in the realm, which is divided into: martial master, martial sect, martial king, martial emperor, martial emperor, martial immortal, martial god, martial saint, and martial honor.

Secondly, there are also differences in cultivation methods, the practice of ordinary martial arts pays attention to "refining one breath inside, and practicing muscles and bones and skin outside", through standing piles, horse steps, sandbags, stone locks and other exercises to improve the strength and flexibility of the body, or through meditation and breathing to exhale the cultivation of true qi in the body, to achieve the effect of resisting power with qi. The practice of martial arts is achieved through refining the body, refining the veins, and refining the gods.

The same is the refining of the body, and martial arts is different from the foreign martial arts, which mainly focus on the training of physical strength and strength, supplemented by certain martial arts, flashing and moving, and controlling static with movement, fierce and domineering. In the Song Dynasty, foreign kung fu was the most popular in the army, and most of those generals were foreign masters.

The refining of martial arts is from the transformation of the human body, the so-called birth of a person, the body is in a state of chaos, like adobe, only by continuous condensation, continuous incineration, can it become as hard and dense as porcelain and jade, and then wash the essence to remove the impurities in the body, so that the body becomes flexible and light, like a feather. At the time of the completion of the refining body, the body is as hard as jade, as soft as gold, and as light as a feather.

Lianmai said that martial arts is also different from the internal kung fu of martial arts, which focuses on the cultivation of qi, allowing the true qi in the body to travel all over the body, improving the strength and flexibility of the body and all of it. The core of its cultivation is to brake with static, and overcome rigidity with softness, which is quite popular among the Jianghu sects and warlocks of the Great Song Dynasty.

The refining of the martial arts refers to the cultivation of the human body's bloodlines, and all parts of the human body are connected by the bloodlines, and are nourished and repaired through the bloodlines. At the beginning of life, the blood veins are thin and delicate, or blocked, or silted, like a river at the beginning of a flood, flooding uncontrollably.

The so-called refining of the veins is to dredge, expand, and consolidate the bloodlines, and at the same time let the 365 acupuncture points in the body be connected with the bloodlines to become the nodes of the bloodlines. If the body is a mountain, then the blood is a river, the river washes away the impurities of the mountain, takes away the dirt of the mountain, and also nourishes the mountains and trees, and the mountains and rivers are more beautiful.

The refining of the gods mentioned by the martial arts means that after refining the body and refining the veins to a certain realm, you can cultivate the sea of knowledge, and the sea of knowledge can release divine thoughts. Ordinary people observe all things, are carried out through the five senses, after the martial arts practice of the gods, no longer rely solely on the five senses, through the release of the gods, you can perceive the outside, with the improvement of the realm, the scope of the perception of the gods continues to increase, which is not in the martial arts practice.

After a cursory glance at the preface and some chapters, Yi Jiuxiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but he was skeptical. Martial arts are so powerful, after cultivating to a certain level, they can go to heaven and earth, move mountains and seas, and even derive all things, just like the legendary immortals.

Believe it or not, Yi Jiuxiao has to cultivate, trapped at the bottom of this valley and wants to escape, he can only pin his hopes on martial arts cultivation and on the improvement of his own strength. However, Yi Jiuxiao knew that any cultivation was not achieved overnight, but it took time to accumulate, and martial arts cultivation was of course no exception, when would it be completed?

Yi Jiuxiao began to prepare for a long life, he got the dead tiger down from the tree, then found a few sharp stones on the edge of the cliff, and began to slowly cut the tiger. This is an adult male tiger, with six or seven hundred pounds, enough for him to eat for many days. Now it is early spring again, the weather is already cold, the seven deep pools at the bottom of the valley not only provide a water source, but also extremely cold, tiger meat will not spoil when placed next to it.

He washed the tiger meat in one of the pools, and began to drill wood to make a fire, and the valley was surrounded by trees, and there were many dead branches, and he picked up some dead branches, and made a bonfire in the open space in the valley, and roasted the tiger meat until it was fragrant, and put it in his mouth. It's a pity that this tiger originally wanted to eat Yi Jiuxiao, but now it has become his belly meal.

Tiger meat is a great tonic, and after eating it, I feel warm on my body, and those fatigue and pain seem to have dissipated. Yi Jiuxiao wiped his mouth, stretched his waist, and fell asleep by the fire, he was tired, and rest was the most important thing at the moment.

The bottom of the valley is very safe, except for Yi Jiuxiao, there are no other animals here, he slept very soundly and sweetly, and when he woke up, it was already the next day. He roasted another piece of tiger meat and ate it, and then began to practice.

Although martial arts are very different from martial arts, there are similarities and there are many things to learn from. Yi Jiuxiao's martial arts skills in his previous life still helped him practice martial arts, and without the guidance and guidance of his master, he would not be a stranger or a stranger.

Refining the body is the basis of martial arts practice, martial arts practice must start from refining the body, there are no tricks in the body refining in the Open Heaven Sutra, there is only one set of Open Heaven Fist, and there are only nine types of Open Heaven Fist, the first type falls from the sky, the second type stands up to the sky, the third type is shocking, the fourth type is dark, the fifth type is desolate, the sixth type is whimsical, the seventh type has a cave, the eighth type is ingenious, and the ninth type is natural.

Each move has a diagram, the movements are very simple, and it can even be said to be clumsy, for Yi Jiuxiao, who has practiced a variety of complicated martial arts in his previous life, he can almost understand it at a glance. He was very puzzled by this simple and clumsy move, where is this boxing method, this is simply the indiscriminate swinging of the mountain and wild horseman, in the Great Song Dynasty, it is a child who has just practiced martial arts, and the boxing method he has learned is a hundred times more exquisite than these nine styles.

If it were on weekdays, it would be impossible for Yi Jiuxiao to practice this boxing technique, but today he is in a desperate situation, so he can only have the mentality of giving it a try, anyway, it is a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

This simple nine-style, he almost finished it in one go, without the slightest lag in the middle. After finishing these nine styles, Yi Jiuxiao turned from full of doubts to surprise. The time of the Nine Styles is very short, that is, dozens of breaths, but his body seems to have undergone the transformation of the four seasons.

It's really a strange feeling, why is this the case, it's obviously nine ordinary moves! But it makes Yi Jiuxiao feel the germination of spring, the prosperity of summer, the drift of autumn, and the bleakness of winter, and it seems to have experienced the baptism of sun, winter snow, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

All his previous doubts had been swept away, and he was already convinced that the martial arts were unpredictable. Yi Jiuxiao stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, feeling wet, the sweat in the cultivation just now seemed to have condensed into frost and dissolved into water droplets.

Continuing to cultivate, Yi Jiuxiao began to repeat the cultivation of these nine forms, and when he finished fighting the second time, he was actually so tired that he couldn't breathe. Although his current physique is not as good as in his previous life, he is not very fragile, when he practiced martial arts with Uncle Huang Si before, he didn't feel very tired after playing hundreds of moves, and only eighteen moves consumed so much.
