Chapter 16 Martial Arts Cultivation
According to the division of the rivers and lakes, any third-rate martial artist who has practiced fists and feet for two years can practice the "Tuna Method" for decades.
When the disciples of Hengshan entered, they did not mainly practice this, but followed the master to take steps and boil the bones, and the "Tuna Method" was only used to regulate the breathing and cultivate the basic method of qi.
Hearing that Chen Ang wanted to learn this kung fu, Liu Zhengfeng was a little embarrassed, and he said bluntly: "Engong, this method is just some superficial qi training techniques, and the inheritance of various sects and even street martial arts halls is almost the same, if Engong is interested, my family's "Sanyang Heart Method", and even Hengshan's secret "Hengshan Heart Method" can be passed on to Engong!" ”
"The wood of the hug is born in the end of the millennium; The nine-story platform starts from the soil; Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Chen Ang sighed faintly and looked back at Liu Zhengfeng, "The technique of internal cultivation originated from ancient times!" Spitting, eating, guiding, and contemplating, it has a history of thousands of years since "Xingqi Ming", and it is even more heroic for 5,000 years since the Yellow Emperor! ”
"The way of martial arts is not to compete for strength and win, to catch and kill, this is the way of beasts, not the right way of martial arts. If I want to be ruthless, naturally the more mysterious and powerful the internal strength, the better, but if I ask for the Dao, seek the right path of ancient martial arts, fight with the sky, and surpass myself, I have to find the answer from the wisdom of the sages! ”
When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Is this also the reason why Mr. asked me to find a Taoist priest and a monk who has been refined?" ”
Chen Ang glanced at him with a smile, "Do you know the Nine Yin True Scripture?" Do you know the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple? ”
"The Nine Yin True Scripture is faintly heard, it is said to be a top martial arts treasure, and it has something to do with the five predecessors who are known as the Five Uniques, and it has caused a lot of turmoil on the rivers and lakes! The seventy-two stunts of Shaolin Temple are even more thunderous! Liu Zhengfeng replied honestly.
Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes may not know these things, but the Hengshan faction is also a big faction that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there is still some understanding of these old news in the rivers and lakes.
This also confirms Chen Ang's conjecture that the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is indeed inextricably linked with the tetralogy after "Tianlong", and most of it is a timeline world.
"The Nine Yin True Scripture" is divided into two volumes, it is the Northern Song Dynasty when the Great Inner edited Huang Shang, a set of peerless martial arts comprehended from the Wanshou Daozang, in the martial arts at that time, it is not an exaggeration to call the world's first martial arts treasure. And this earth-shattering martial arts volume once fell into the hands of two Peach Blossom Island disciples who were nicknamed 'Black Wind and Double Evil'. ”
Liu Zhengfeng listened quietly, with a look of surprise on his face, this kind of martial arts secrets are unheard of in his identity, perhaps only Shaolin Temple has been passed down for thousands of years, and there will be clear records, which makes him feel more and more mysterious about Chen Ang's identity.
"In the process of this, there are quite some singing and crying stories, but it has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to say more, just say that Mei Chaofeng in the black wind and double evil, has practiced the "Nine Yin True Scripture" for more than 20 years, and her legs are paralyzed because of the madness, which is a good "Nine Yin Divine Claw", so that she has practiced such nondescript things as "Nine Yin White Bone Claw"!"
"Nine Yin White Bone Claw!" Liu Zhengfeng said in shock, his face showing extreme emotion! Chen Ang couldn't help laughing, many martial arts skills have not been passed down, and they are all unknown, but a martial art that has been abolished is more prestigious than the genuine "Nine Yin Divine Claws".
"You just need to know that the "Nine Yin Divine Claw" is ten times more powerful than the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" practiced by Mei Chaofeng, if Mei Chaofeng meets someone who has really practiced this martial art, I am afraid that if he can't go through the two moves, he will be caught into white bones!" Chen Ang said indifferently.
"The same is true for seventy-two stunts, many Shaolin monks have to spend a lifetime pondering a set of stunts, and some people can practice more than a dozen in one breath, Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan in the Northern Song Dynasty. But in their later years, they had to worship under the Shaolin sect and practice Zen! What do you say? Chen Ang asked rhetorically.
"Maybe Shaolin has hidden some key know-how, so that they can practice kung fu with hidden dangers?" Liu Zhengfeng, who came from the Wuyue Sword Sect, really didn't have a good impression of Shaolin, and speculated unceremoniously.
"Haha! Knack! Chen Ang laughed and said: "If you say this, you are underestimating martial arts masters like Dharma and Zhang Sanfeng, they can't wait to let the whole world know their martial arts know-how, Dao comprehension, how can they hide this statement?" ”
"But there's nothing wrong with that! There is indeed a secret to this. Chen Ang looked at Liu Zhengfeng and stopped talking, shook his hand to stop him, and continued.
"Whether it is the "Nine Yin True Scripture" that went mad, or the "Seventy-two Stunts" that lost the essence, although on the surface it is that the author's vocabulary is difficult and the implicit reference is hidden, in fact, the practitioner's martial arts cultivation is insufficient."
'Martial arts cultivation' This is an extremely obscure term, many people measure the level of martial arts masters by their combat power, but they don't understand why the sweeping monk and Dugu seek defeat all their lives, but only Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng can afford the name of "great master"! Why is the Northern Shengong overpowering, and the six-vein divine sword is famous, but only "Yijin Jing" and "Taiji" can achieve the supreme name of martial arts.
Things that cannot be seen or touched such as 'martial arts cultivation' are the main factors in this. In Chen Ang's understanding, martial arts cultivation is a combination of martial wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, which is like a huge net that connects all aspects of martial arts with the wisdom of the sages.
And "Tai Chi", "Yi Jin Jing" and other secret books, is the highest embodiment of this wisdom, just as the "Lao Tzu" people may not understand the wisdom of the "Tao Te Ching", the "Confucius" people, may not know the "benevolence", this wisdom is not so much a secret book, but it is a reading outline.
Zhang Sanfeng learned Taoism, wrote "Tai Chi", Bodhidharma enlightened Buddha, and wrote "Yijin Sutra", probably only combing out their martial arts thoughts into an outline, and the real content should be learned from Buddhist scriptures, Taoist books, and classics. Huang Shang can comprehend the "Nine Yin True Scripture" from "Wanshou Daozang", which is also the same truth.
Therefore, Chen Ang never expected that from the martial arts world, he would bring out one or two 'peerless cheats', and then practice diligently, he would become transcendent and transcendent, on the contrary, he decided to sink his heart, to feel the world, to read this atmosphere, to absorb the essence of a world, this is the true value of a world.
Learning cheats is the way of masters, and learning martial arts is the way of evolution.
Chen Ang practiced medicine for three months, treated countless people in the martial arts, learned and understood hundreds of living secret books, and was proficient in most of the third-rate martial arts in the martial arts. And Liu Zhengfeng is the guide he prescribed.
He also thought about the study and understanding of the human body by the science of later generations, and expressed it as the way of martial arts, but after thinking about it, it is still a pity that there is not enough scientific accumulation, even if he creates such a set of martial arts, it is just a miraculous skill such as "Northern Shengong" and "Six Veins Divine Sword", which is too far behind the "Tai Chi" and "Yijin Jing" that inspire a Taoist system.
Even "Dugu Nine Swords", which has the accumulation of swordsmanship in the world, may not be able to compare.
It may be that in terms of power, it can be invincible in the world, but if Chen Ang pursues strength, why not leave a laser weapon, or a human body modification drug, so that the person who gets it can also become the strongest person in the world. Martial arts, which could not promote the evolution of the essence of human life, were meaningless to Chen Ang.
Chen Ang didn't say any more, he mentioned a yellowed Song scripture and smiled at Liu Zhengfeng: "If I say that I can comprehend the Yijin Sutra from these scriptures, do you believe it or not?" ”
Liu Zhengfeng was taken aback, he cautiously glanced at the "Solemn Treatise on the Lotus Flower", and after confirming that it was just an ordinary scripture, he asked in a low voice: "When others say it, I will definitely not believe it, but Engong said it, I still have seven points of doubt in my heart." ”
"Before Bodhidharma wrote the book, there were 100 volumes of the true scriptures, telling the truth he studied, and after Bodhidharma wrote the book, there were 10,000 volumes of scriptures, telling the truth he understood. After learning the wisdom of these Dharmas, can't you even comprehend a copy of the "Yijin Sutra"? Chen Ang laughed.
Liu Zhengfeng saw that he said lightly, and only smiled bitterly in his heart, "The wisdom of Bodhidharma is scattered in the vast Buddhist scriptures, if you want to sort it out, I don't know what kind of wisdom and amazing perseverance you need, maybe only gods and demons can do it!" ”
Immediately did not ask more, honestly accumulated himself for many years, his understanding of all aspects of martial arts, and even some story allusions, one or two sentences of the master's martial arts practice, and a few words that he thought were true transmissions, and told Chen Ang as the original, but Chen Ang did not have much interest in what he thought was the true transmission of the method, but pointed out one or two mistakes, or even imperfections, but was particularly interested in some details and things that everyone in the martial arts knows.
I even discussed with him the understanding of "qi" in Chinese medicine, and asked him to find a knowledgeable doctor, okay! Monks, Taoist priests, doctors, teaching gentlemen, and traveling bachelors, if it weren't for his extensive connections, he really wouldn't be able to get together the people Chen Ang wanted.
