Volume 1: On Tianheng Mountain Chapter 7: Footwork Xiaocheng
At this time, Yang Ming was still struggling with the big bell, and the disciples who rang the bell came one after another, but Yang Ming was never able to master the method of controlling the power of the shock. He felt that it required some kind of very precise mastery of force, or a certain feeling, a kind of instinct that came naturally.
When Yang Ming focused his attention on the stick, it was difficult for him to control his body flexibly, if the cultivation of chasing monkeys made him skillful, then this cultivation was the practice that allowed him to gradually move towards spontaneity.
If he could make the Bodhi Wishful Stick and his body form some kind of wonderful unity, then it shouldn't be so complicated to practice.
People who practice swords always say that the unity of man and sword means that all laws return to the heart. In fact, all weapons are the same, although the use of sticks and swords is very different, but the avenue can still be passed.
Just when Yang Ming was still pondering, a deep voice came from behind him.
"Yang Ming, what are you doing here?"
Yang Ming looked back and saw that it was Senior Brother Lu Chen, Yang Ming hurriedly got up and saluted.
After all, he is a senior brother, and Lu Chen has always acted uprightly, although he was suppressed by Lin Ruo among the three generations of disciples, everyone still respects this senior brother who is neither humble nor arrogant.
Besides, when he first came to Tianheng Mountain, Yang Ming also received Lu Chen's help, so it was always right to be respectful and polite.
"Senior brother, I'm practicing the footwork of unloading, but senior brother is here to ring the bell?"
Lu Chen nodded and looked at Yang Ming, Yang Ming was indeed a little embarrassed at this time, not only covered in dust, but also his clothes were worn out a lot, and there were some abrasions on his knees and ankles.
patting the dust on his body, Yang Ming waited for Lu Chen to ring the bell first, and then practiced, but the next scene really made Yang Ming a little stunned.
Lu Chen didn't use the heavy rafters to ring the bell, but smashed it against the big bell with his bare hands, and the radiant fist connected with the big bell, and a shocking bell sounded.
"Buzz!"
After Lu Chen finished ringing the bell with his fist, he did not use rotation to unload the force like Lin Ruo, but directly turned his fist and hammered it towards the ground, burying all the strength into the ground, and the earth splashed a ripple, but it quickly subsided.
"Big Brother !!!"
As if seeing the dawn of hope, Yang Ming hurriedly rushed forward and hugged Lu Chen, Lu Chen was startled by Yang Ming's sudden move, and subconsciously punched out.
Then, he directly hit Yang Ming's head, although the punch was not very powerful, but the subconscious punch still punched Yang Ming out and flew out several meters away.
"Yang Ming, are you okay! I just subconsciously hit it!"
Lu Chen hurriedly ran over to support Yang Ming, although Yang Ming's small arms and legs looked like bean sprouts, but the bones were still quite strong, this fist hammered his brain hurt, but it was really not too much harm.
"Oh, senior brother, your fist is really hard, but I still have to thank you, you made me understand it suddenly!"
Yang Ming didn't care about the pain, and after being helped up by Lu Chen, he ran directly towards the big bell, Lu Chen looked at him a little inexplicably, I don't know if this kid was stupid by himself.
Yang Ming ran the true qi, wrapped the true qi all over his body, rushed up fiercely, jumped over, and threw a stick towards the big bell, at the moment when the stick and the big bell were handed over, the huge anti-shock force acted on the Bodhi Ruyi stick, and the stick bounced outward.
Yang Ming's body turned, and the stick was sent directly to the ground, with the force of this shock, Yang Ming inserted the stick directly into the soil diagonally, and after rotating his body along the stick for a circle, he flicked his wrist and pulled the stick out of the ground.
"I made it!!"
Yang Ming finally succeeded in unloading the power of the anti-shock, although he used the ground to dissolve the power of the anti-shock, but he did successfully dissolve the three-fold power of the anti-shock.
Lu Chen looked at Yang Ming's set of operations, and laughed out loud, feeling that this kid came up with such a thing by looking at his previous unloading method, but this kind of unloading ......
"Yang Ming, you are a true qi refining body. ”
Yang Ming was still cheering, and when he heard Lu Chen's question, Yang Ming looked back at Senior Brother and nodded.
"Yes, after all, refining the body is more resistant to beating. ”
"Do you know that refining the body is not simply cultivating the body, but more importantly, the understanding of your own body?"
Lu Chen took out a scroll, which recorded the meridians of the human body and the position of various muscles.
"It is impossible for a person to exercise all the muscles in the early stage, even if it reaches the stage of concentrating, he has his own set of exclusive body refining methods, for example, I practice boxing, and the muscles I focus on practicing are in the elbows, calves, waist, these power points. ”
"For cultivators who cultivate the Undefeated Golden Body type, their focus will be on the back, shoulder blades, arms, etc. ”
"The practice of the stick method is actually biased towards the cultivation of techniques, and you not only have to practice the muscles that you focus on, but also pay attention to your spiritual practice. ”
After listening to Lu Chen's words, Yang Ming thought about his current cultivation method, and basically ......
I haven't practiced what he said at all!
Yang Ming has always felt that refining the body is not just condensing the true qi into a shield and putting it on the outside, isn't it over?
"That...... Senior brother, is there a person who refines the body and only refines the talisman's shield?"
"Then what's the line? Where does the offensive nature come from if you only refine the body shield? The body refining is not like magic cultivation, you still have to have explosive combat power. ”
Yang Ming thought back to the battle he fought with He Dong, basically relying on his true strength to defeat He Dong, what if his true strength was not so much?
Thinking of this, he was messy. But Lu Chen's words gave him some inspiration, although he didn't have explosive muscles like Lu Chen, but he ran up and down the mountain every day, and his physical fitness was not bad.
"Knowing Senior Brother, I'll pay attention. ”
Lu Chen patted Yang Ming on the shoulder and said:
"Come on, take out the strength you have to beat that He Dong, hard work will always pay off. ”
After Lu Chen left, Yang Ming didn't attack the bell again, he sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the stick in his hand with a heavy heart, and he didn't know where a wine gourd flew out of nowhere and smashed it on Yang Ming's head.
"Who's going to die!"
Yang Ming felt that his head was really in trouble today, but fortunately his bones were hard, otherwise he would have been beaten stupidly if he was beaten like this.
"Stinky boy, don't you look at what time it is, you're still stunned here, and you can't make dinner!"
"Lao Lu, you came just in time, I seem to have encountered a bottleneck. ”
After that, Yang Ming told Lao Lu what he thought and what Lu Chen had told him just now, Lao Lu frowned after hearing this, and gave Yang Ming a wine gourd.
"What kind of mess, you must practice your physique when refining your body? I think Lu Chen's kid is stupid!"
Lao Lu walked to the big bell with the wine gourd, jumped towards the big bell, and slapped the big bell with one palm, but something strange happened, when Lu Cheng's palm touched the big bell, the force of the shock did not act on Lu Cheng, but directly pushed the big bell out.
The strength of this evil sect tortured Yang Ming for a long time, but it was easily resolved by Lao Lu here, no, it was not resolved, it was directly bounced back by Lao Lu!
It is easier to use force than Lin Ruo's three consecutive swords, and it is more direct than Lu Chen's way to unload the force!
"I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be a big fool!"
"Let me ask you, refining the body, refining the spirit, refining the technique, refining the soul, what are these things essentially practiced?"
Facing Lao Lu's question, Yang Ming scratched his head, his small eyes and his big doubts.
"Stupid, of course it's refining true qi! As long as you have enough true qi and strong enough, you can practice whatever you want, Lu Chen's typical set is to abandon the basics and chase the end, only barbarians without true qi will practice madly!"
"If you defeat He Dong, your true qi accounts for ninety percent, and your stick method accounts for so much!"
Lao Lu gave Yang Ming a thumbs up, full of exaggeration.
"Your little cultivation, it's just a little understanding at your age, others praise you very much, I see, bullshit isn't!"
Lao Lu never knew what evasion was when he spoke, but this remark did wake up Yang Ming.
That's right, as long as the amount of true qi is enough and pure enough, then the protective shield will not break, and the attack will have greater power, and you can even use magic or something with the help of true qi, refining the body? Is it really a limitation?
"Of course, it's not that refining your physique is wrong, it's just a choice of your personal way, and all branches of practice will eventually return to condensing true qi, which is the foundation and the essence of the Great Dao. ”
"The most important thing in your current situation is to figure out how to do the most with the least amount of true qi! ”
"Unloading is not simple, true qi is the best tool for unloading! No matter how clever the body unloading, there is no efficiency with gas unloading!"
After Lao Lu finished speaking, he left with a wine gourd, and did not forget to say a word before leaving:
"Cook dinner for Lao Tzu!"
"Okay, okay, Lao Lu!"
Yang Mingmao said suddenly, and then went to cook for Lao Lu.
......
Yang Ming has been fighting with the bronze bell for three days. In the past three days, Hu Yue knocked on the wall of the kitchen backyard three times, but no one responded each time, the angry little girl stomped her feet and threatened to beat Yang Ming's head crookedly, although the little girl was unforgiving, but she still cared about Yang Ming very much, so she also went to Lao Lu to ask about Yang Ming's movements.
"That kid is working hard, he hasn't taken care of Lao Tzu's food for two days, what can you do if you haven't eaten for three days?"
Although he had long known that Lu Cheng's attitude would be extremely bad, Hu Yue still sulked and used four words to describe Lu Cheng - old and not serious.
Although they all have to be called Uncle Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng is more than ten years older than them, and Lu Cheng was completely annoyed by his old and indecent words, but he couldn't see the same thing as the little girl, so he went down the mountain angrily.
"Senior sister, don't you know how annoying Uncle Lu is, other masters and uncles are all amiable, he is like a ruffian and a hooligan, a mouthful of old men, a mouthful of a little ghost, that is the appearance of an elder?"
Hu Yue is still complaining to Lin Ruo about what Lao Lu has done, and Lin Ruo is also helpless about the little uncle, although he has long heard that the little uncle is bold, unruly and stubborn, but he didn't expect it to be so improper.
"He went down the mountain to Zhongshu Province after three months, and it was only three months to get along, so let it be with it if you can. ”
"Yang Ming actually worships this kind of person as a teacher, it's simply unreasonable!"
"Girl, I think you dislike Yang Ming and don't make you a small stove to eat. ”
Lin Ruo quipped, Hu Yue pulled Lin Ruo's sleeve and stomped his foot in disgust.
"Yang Ming should still be competing with Tianheng Qiankun Zhong, but I don't know if there has been any progress in the past three days of practice. ”
"Senior sister, why don't we go and see if he's lazy?"
"You're afraid you want to see his jokes? Three days is not enough time to practice unloading skills. ”
"People just want to motivate him, and by the way, ask him to help me open a small stove. ”
How could Lin Ruo, the little abacus in Hu Yue's heart, not know that this girl has always liked to watch others make trouble, and when she first watched Yang Ming play monkey stick, she was laughing on all fours.
This girl also said that Uncle Xiao was stubborn, but in fact, she didn't let it go too much.
Most of the three generations of disciples have nicknames, and the otherworldliness of the senior sister gives people the feeling of an aristocratic eldest lady, at first everyone called her the eldest lady, and only later did she call her the senior sister. As for Hu Yue, she is eccentric, straightforward, and a little funny.
Hu Yue, who is not very old, has been called the little witch by the senior brothers and elders.
On the way to Tianheng Qiankun Bell together, Hu Yue and Lin Ruo met many disciples who came down from the mountain one after another, everyone was talking about something, Lin Ruo did not ring the bell in the past two days, and Master Shangqing asked him to cultivate the comprehension of sword intent, and he also achieved a little success.
"Perhaps, Yang Ming will give us a lot of surprises. ”
Considering those talkative words, Lin Ruo somehow looked forward to Yang Ming's progress somehow.
When she actually walked up the mountain and saw Yang Ming's actions, it was when she was really surprised.
Yang Ming waved the Bodhi Ruyi stick, and threw it towards the bell at a very fast speed, every time he came into contact with the big bell, he would move his pace slightly, and the stick was wrapped in the golden true qi visible to the naked eye, and every time it collided with the big bell, it contracted and expanded violently, which was a very obvious manifestation of the true qi unloading.
In three days, in just three days, Yang Ming completed the cultivation of True Qi Unloading, and judging from his pace, he not only used True Qi Unloading Force reasonably, but also combined with his own subtle steps to successfully use the least amount of True Qi and as little movement as possible to borrow strength!
When Lin Ruo practiced borrowing force, he first practiced the technique of unloading, that is, he did not use his true qi, and became proficient in the preliminary skills by consolidating the foundation of the technique. After becoming proficient, it will naturally be natural to practice the true qi unloading force.
Naturally, she also tried to use her true qi to unload her strength when she was laying a solid foundation in the early stage, but she couldn't control her true qi no matter what, too much true qi would cause her true qi to be consumed too quickly, and she might play with herself after two or three swords.
If the amount of true qi is too small, then you can't unload much force, you still have to rely on footwork skills, so she practiced the skills for a month, and then she completely mastered the way to unload the force.
With Lin Ruo's speed, Master Shangqing sighed that her talent was rare, but now compared to Yang Ming, she was simply ......
Moreover, Yang Ming doesn't seem to use the traditional gas unloading force, but using a way that she can't see through to unload the force, which is not only explained by heaven, this is simply magical!
"Hey, I didn't think this guy was quite capable. Hu Yue looked at Yang Ming's posture and couldn't help but admire.
Yang Ming had already sent out eight sticks in a row, and finally at the ninth stick, the true qi surrounding the Bodhi Ruyi stick began to become loose, and Yang Ming directly collected the stick, and his elbow shook lightly with his wrist, and after drawing a circle on the ground, he stood on the ground steadily.
"Ah, Senior Sister, Hu Yue, you are here. ”
After seeing Lin Ruo and Hu Yue, Yang Ming greeted him with a smile, and Hu Yue came up and gave Yang Ming a hammer in the chest with a small pink fist.
"Hmph, you guy, you haven't paid attention to me for a few days, I can't imagine that you are secretly working hard!"
Facing Hu Yue's little pink fist, Yang Minggan laughed a few times and expressed embarrassment. He has been practicing too much in the past few days, and he didn't go to the kitchen at all, and it is estimated that the stove is dusty.
"Yang Ming, how did you learn to unload your force in three days?"
Lin Ruo really couldn't figure out how Yang Ming had completed such a test of accuracy in this way.
"Ha, in fact, I also thought about it after listening to your words that day, and then Lao Lu told me a truth: Qi through the world, overcome rigidity with softness, and you will be able to dial a thousand catties in four or two. ”
Yang Ming raised the Bodhi Ruyi stick, a circle of golden true qi surrounded the stick, Lin Ruo touched the true qi with his hand, and found that although the true qi was true to the yang, it was soft and light.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Ming turned the long stick, and the true qi became sharp and sharp, and the long stick suddenly had an indestructible might.
"In fact, it is to use different states of true qi to unload, when attacking, the rigidity of the Yang true qi can hit the opponent strongly, and when unloading, the feminine true qi can overcome the rigidity with softness, and the huge force can be easily resolved in combination with footwork. ”
"But your true qi is obviously the true and yang, how can you evolve into a feminine state?"
Yang Ming smiled and drew a Taiji diagram on the ground.
Lao Lu said that the true qi and Tai Chi are the same, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, that is, the division of yin and yang, in the intertwining of yin and yang, there is a saying whether it is extremely Tailai. ”
"What's that?"
Hu Yue had a small greeting on her head, naturally her cultivation had not yet reached this level, so she still didn't know much about these things.
"The Taiji diagram is cut from the middle line, and the upper and lower poles are the poles of the pole and the pole yin respectively, and among the pole yang and the pole yin, there is also the yang of the yin and the yin of the yang. ”
"My true qi is the true and the yang, but this true and yang also contains the yin in the yang, and this is whether it is extremely Tailai. ”
"But I only understand the interpretation of this Taiji diagram, according to Lao Lu, there are still four elephants, gossip and five elements, I haven't come into contact with those things. ”
Yang Ming plucked out his ears, pointed to the Taiji diagram on the ground and said:
"The true qi of the yin in the yang has the flexibility and softness, which is the incomparable advantage of the righteousness of the yang true qi, although the true qi of the yang has an extremely strong aggressiveness, but between attack and defense, there must be softness as a medium of unloading in order to attack, retreat and defend. ”
Lao Lu said that thinking about offense and defense are both fools' behaviors, and they must be tailored to the times, and only by using offense and defense can they win by surprise. ”
"So in fact, I didn't have much practice unloading skills, but I practiced the true qi rotation for a day, and grasped the use of yin in yang, and later found that it worked, and with some footwork adjustments, I could easily use my strength to fight. ”
Lin Ruo really didn't expect that Yang Ming had actually come into contact with this level of cultivation, although this method of using true qi had been taught to them by Master Shangqing, but this was only used in the concentrating stage.
Yang Ming, his true qi hadn't even awakened yet, so he reasonably applied the method of yin and yang interlacing in the concentrating stage.
"It's me who is short-sighted. ”
After listening to Yang Ming's words, Lin Ruo also had a certain understanding, she was naturally a beginner in the method of yin and yang, if she applied this method to her sword intent, she should be able to make a lot of progress, I didn't expect that although Uncle Xiao didn't seem to be very reliable, his research on cultivation was so in-depth.
"Haha, I'm off today, I'll make a big meal for everyone in the evening, let's have a big meal together!"
"Yes, yes!"
Hu Yue doesn't want to think about the yang in the yin and the yin in the yang, for her, having delicious food is the most important thing.
The sun had begun to gradually set, and the three of them walked along the mountain road towards the kitchen, and the laughter and laughter along the way added a splendid scenery to the sunset of Tianheng Mountain. Even they didn't realize that their relationship had begun to gradually carve the seeds of bonding in the hearts of the three of them.
