Chapter 51: National Arts
In the early morning, after the rain, the air seemed to be wet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fang Yan pushed open the window and stretched a big waist, his heart said that he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.
Last night, when he slept until midnight, he was awakened by the ticking sound from the glass outside the window, only to find that it was pouring rain outside, and the wind was mixed with thunder and lightning, whistling wantonly on the earth. Even in the height of summer, such weather is rare.
Since yesterday's luncheon in Zhang's mansion, Fang Yan's heart has been a little uneasy, although he also speculated that the Zhang family may have another power system different from that of wizards, but he didn't expect it to be confirmed so quickly. It's just that the truth is a little different from what he thinks.
At yesterday's luncheon, Fang Yan still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart after all, and asked Zhang's father about the old housekeeper. Unexpectedly, Father Zhang only told him everything he wanted to know about the dialect after being slightly stunned, especially the news of the Eastern Power System that he wanted to know the most.
Fang Yan learned from Zhang's father that there was indeed a power system in the East that was completely different from that of wizards. However, contrary to the original imagination of the dialect, the ancient country in the East now does not have any transcendent existence such as cultivators and qi practitioners, but only a profession that has mastered extraordinary powers-Taoist priests.
According to Zhang's father, the so-called cultivators and qi practitioners may still exist in the pre-Qin era, but in the modern society where the vitality of heaven and earth is gradually dissipating, these professions that rely too much on the vitality of cultivation have long been extinct.
However, after the War of Resistance before the founding of the People's Republic of China and the subsequent ten years of turmoil, the truly cultivated Taoist priests have gradually disappeared. The Taoist priests that can be seen in the dojos in China are basically ordinary religious people, or just some Taoist scholars who study the Taoist scriptures. Those who really practiced some of the ways either submitted to the state or had fled to Middle-earth and sought refuge abroad.
As for the old butler, he disappointed Fang Yanhao for a while, because he was not a Taoist priest, but a national art cultivator.
Hearing the national art, the dialect was also stunned. In his previous life, he had already heard of the name of national art. When he was young, he also heard the classic saying "Martial arts that only kill the enemy, not perform, are national arts", and he was very enthusiastic for a while and wanted to practice national arts, but then he couldn't find any way to give up. I didn't expect that there are still national arts in this world.
Fang Yan is quite interested in national arts, and he doesn't know which of his knight cultivation methods is stronger than national arts.
Qiu Cai doesn't care about Taoist priests, national arts and the like, compared to her, she prefers to study magic after receiving a Western-style education since she was a child. It's just that she seems to be quite interested in these dialects, and she can't help but interject: "Grandpa Quan, Sean seems to be quite interested in national arts, can you teach him?" ”
The scene was silent.
Father Zhang and the old housekeeper's eyes suddenly focused on Fang Yan's body, the former was thoughtful, and the latter was a little hesitant.
Fang Yan was very happy in his heart, Qiu was really a god teammate, he made a good assist, and he just didn't know how to speak!
Seeing the expressions of the two, Fang Yan hurriedly spoke: "Yes, Grandpa Quan, I have long heard the name of Huaxia Guoshu "only killing the enemy and not performing", and I have always longed for Guoshu, but I can't find a famous teacher to teach me, I don't know if you can accept me as a student?" ”
"This-" The old butler was a little hesitant, but after seeing Father Zhang's nod, he no longer refused, "It's not necessary for the student to say, the old slave can teach some of the basics of national art to Young Master Sean." It's just that the training of the national art is very hard, I don't know if Young Master Sean can stand it? ”
When Fang Yan heard that the old butler agreed to teach him his national arts, he was overjoyed, and patted his chest again and again: "No problem, I have also practiced some Western knight swordsmanship before, and I can still stand the high-intensity training." ”
Qiu also spoke for Fang Yan at this time: "Yes, Grandpa Quan, when Sean was in school, he also got up before dawn every day to practice, he will definitely be able to persevere." ”
The old butler nodded slightly: "Okay, Master Sean, since you are willing to learn from that old slave, we will naturally not be stingy to teach, and we will start the first lesson next to the lotus pond at five o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
……………………
It had just rained last night, and the ground outside had not yet dried, so Fang Yan trotted all the way in the direction of the lotus pond.
When he arrived, he found that the old butler was already waiting there.
"Good morning, Grandpa Izumi!" The dialect greeted first.
"Good morning, Master Sean." The old butler also responded with a smile.
The lecture was about to begin, and the smile on the old butler's face suddenly closed, and his expression became serious and quite grandmaster, "Master Sean, I don't know how much you know about national arts?" ”
Fang Yan pondered for a moment, recalling the information he had seen and heard in his previous life, and organized the language for a while before he slowly spoke: "Guoshu, which is said to have evolved from the art of killing in military formations, is a kind of martial art that only kills the enemy and does not perform, and is a cultivation method to develop the potential of the human body. ”
The old butler nodded and shook his head, seeing Fang Yan's puzzled expression, he explained: "Young Master Sean, what you said is also right, but it is not comprehensive. Before you officially start practicing the national arts, the old slave will first explain to you the origin of the national arts. ”
"In ancient times, this world was still very rich in Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi - by the way, you know what Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is, right?" The old housekeeper was just about to tell the origin of the national arts, but suddenly remembered that the dialect was not Chinese, and he didn't know if he understood the concept of heaven and earth vitality.
"yes, I know." Fang Yan nodded, "Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is a general term for all kinds of natural energy between heaven and earth, and the magic particles that we Western wizards say are also one of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. ”
The old butler breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you understand this, let's continue." In ancient times, when the vitality between heaven and earth was still very abundant, there was no national art in Huaxia, only martial artists who practiced internal strength. Through some special techniques, they absorbed the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth into their own bodies and turned it into a special energy called True Qi. This special energy called True Qi can be blessed on the human body, allowing people to exert power far beyond the limits of the human body. ”
"It's a pity that as the concentration of Yuan Qi between heaven and earth slowly decreases, it is becoming more and more difficult for martial artists to cultivate True Qi, so that each generation is weaker and weaker."
"Finally, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, those internal strength practitioners who can go high and fly up and down the wall will no longer be seen. What has flourished in the world is the original military array killing technique combined with the internal family qigong fur evolved from the internal family boxing technique. ”
"The inner boxing technique is no longer pretending to be the vitality of the outside world, but digging deep into one's own body, specializing in the mysteries of the small universe of the human body, and cultivating a wonderful internal strength. Because in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were several masters of Neijiaquan, who were invincible on the battlefield and defended the country, so Neijiaquan is also called the national art - the national art that only kills the enemy and does not perform. ”
Fang Yan thought about it, it seems that the decline in the energy concentration between heaven and earth has a great impact on various power systems, and I don't know how many cultivation paths have been lost.
The old butler continued: "Next, let's talk about the division of national art levels. The turbulent period of war was the most prosperous stage of the development of national arts. Countless amazing and brilliant grandmaster figures have deduced the national art to the peak together, forming an independent system. Bright energy, dark energy, transformation energy, and Dan energy are recognized as the four major stages of national art practice. Those who are bright and energetic have stepped into the gate of national arts; The dark one can be called a master; As for Hua Jin and Dan Jin, they are respected as grandmasters and great grandmasters. ”
"As for the old slave, he is not talented," the old butler's face showed a rare look of pride, "It is one of the only few masters of national arts in the world now, and his cultivation is the peak level of dark energy." And it is possible to break through the transformation at any time and become the only transformation power master in the world today. ”
"Wow, that's amazing!" Fang Yan was indeed surprised, but he was surprised not by the old housekeeper's cultivation, but by the fact that he was still able to block his perception with only dark energy, so he didn't know what kind of skills the strong person had. (To be continued)
