Even if he is one of the best martial artists in the world, Chen Youlan was suddenly surprised, and after Zhang Tong's explanation, Chen Youlan felt that this "martial art" could still be explained in this way. The essence www.biquge.info of cultivating martial arts is to safeguard one's own interests, and even to strive for them. Of course, there are also some martial artists with higher morals who will choose to maintain the public welfare of the whole world. However, in any case, "force" is always only a means, only a means to achieve an end.

But many people regard this martial arts as a goal, and practice for the sake of cultivation, and in the end it seems that the martial arts are getting higher and higher, but the more they reach the later stage, the more they will be unable to break through.

The previous people, even martial artists, did not make an accurate definition of "martial arts", but now Zhang Tong has made a definition, which made Chen Youlan suddenly open his mouth.

"Wait, I'm going to write it down!" Chen Youlan said.

Chen Youlan hurriedly rummaged around from her luggage, but she didn't find any pen and paper, which made Chen Youlan suddenly very anxious. Chen Youlan had no choice but to take out her thrush pencil and start preparing to record on top of her other spare clothes.

Zhang Tong looked at this thrush pen and smiled, this Chen Youlan is really "unlearned", and he didn't even carry a pen and paper with him. But after all, she is also a woman, but she brought a thrush pencil with her.

Chen Youlan obviously saw Zhang Tong's slightly "contemptuous" gaze towards her, her face was panicked, and she hurriedly asked: "Don't you know the thrush pen? Haven't you seen Miss Mo's thrush? You have been with Miss Mo for nearly a year, haven't you seen her thrush?"

Zhang Tong said casually: "The joy of the boudoir is more than that of a thrush!"

Chen Youlan was embarrassed, Zhang Tong was a pun, not only lightly teased this Chen Youlan, but also deliberately told Chen Youlan that Zhang Tong and Mo Qing were together and there were more excessive things than thrush. Of course, on the other hand, he also told Chen Youlan that this was Zhang Tong's private matter with Mo Qing, and it had nothing to do with her Chen Youlan.

"It's just sharp teeth, let's continue to talk about martial arts! Since we have determined martial arts, what is martial arts?" Chen Youlan hurriedly asked.

Zhang Tong then went on to explain what "Tao" is.

"What is the Tao, this is actually very simple to say, but it is also complicated. I think the Tao can be interpreted as the most essential purpose. As kings and prime ministers, their duty is to maintain the well-being of the people of the world and maintain the peace of the world. However, there are many means to this process, and maintaining the peace of the people is the goal, but there are many means that can be used to achieve this goal. ”

"If people don't have enough food and clothing, there may be a couple of options at this time. For example, foreign plunder, which is generally the regular practice of the northern barbarians, often choose to plunder to maintain peace when there is a shortage of food and clothing during natural disasters. In China, agriculture and some commerce are used as auxiliaries, and in the event of natural and man-made disasters, the tax burden will inevitably be reduced or reduced, and then local officials will be responsible for leading the people to develop production and help the people tide over the difficulties. ”

"As for the Hu people in the West, their land is generally barren, but they have their own way. That is, as an important trade intermediary between the East and the West, it monopolized the trade routes between the East and the West, and almost more than ninety percent of the trade routes were completed through the intermediary of the Hu people in the West, and neither side could bypass them. By accumulating wealth, they bought all kinds of goods from the East and the West, so that they could maintain the survival of the people. ”

"These are all ways to do this, either through violent plunder, or by reducing the burden and finding ways to increase production. There is also an exchange through an intermediary. Although these three methods of violent plunder are generally considered bad, reducing the burden on the people and increasing production are generally considered to be good. As for the one who is an intermediary, he is often scolded as a profiteer and treacherous. However, it is found that in fact, whether it is violent plunder, or reducing the burden of developing production, or even intermediary profiteers, it is all to maintain the well-being and prosperity of the people under their rule. So putting aside these different means of good and evil, they are actually essentially the same reasons. And this reason is the Tao. ”

"Therefore, we can accurately define martial arts, that is, to comprehend the ideals of heaven and earth through the cultivation of martial arts, and to achieve an existence that is beyond ordinary mortals. This is also martial arts, and martial arts are only means, not ends. When the cultivation of martial arts reaches a certain level, on the contrary, we cannot continue to cling to 'martial arts', but develop in the direction of 'Tao'. If you continue to cling to martial arts, this is the most serious mistake in martial arts. ”

"Obsessing on these lethalities, that is actually against the essence of martial arts, the lethality of martial arts is only the appearance, so obsessed with appearances, then you can't really understand martial arts. ”

Chen Youlan hurriedly and quickly recorded Zhang Tong's words, and Chen Youlan also felt that what Zhang Tong said was very reasonable. What Zhang Tong said was too "plain", much more plain than the so-called various inheritance cheats inside the Jade Maiden Palace. Those cheats are all personal understandings, and they are all the personal experiences of your ancestors, but it is difficult to summarize. Those seniors know it but don't know why, although they can comprehend it, but it is difficult to teach it directly to the juniors, and they must rely on the juniors to comprehend.

And although Zhang Tong is also a "comprehension", this language is almost equivalent to the vernacular, which is amazingly helpful for his next comprehension.

Especially Zhang Tong's language is too straightforward, but it's good to be straightforward, for these high-level martial artists, that is, they need these things that are "straightforward" enough, and they don't have to guess everywhere, and then they can't understand things by scratching their brains.

"Anything else, continue?" Chen Youlan hurriedly asked with a thrush pencil.

Zhang Tong was also scratching his head and thinking: "How should I fool around next? I'm talking serious nonsense, how should I make it up next?"

Zhang Tong was thinking about how to continue the nonsense of "serious nonsense" here, and completely fooled this Chen Youlan.

However, Zhang Tong felt that he couldn't think of any words to fool people for the time being, so he had to say: "Okay, that's it, I'm also a little tired, take a rest first, you can write down these things first!"

Chen Youlan was a little disappointed, she thought she could get more, but she didn't expect Zhang Tong to want to talk about it. Chen Youlan began to carefully refer to these notes, hoping to give him a higher understanding of the positioning of martial arts.
