Chapter 6, even dogs have to practice
Perhaps because of hope, Zhang Jingyi has been extremely interested in hunting recently, and he pulls the "lazy cat" around every day to cut down hardwood to make arrow shafts, and actively rushes to the blacksmith shop to make arrows.
Zhang Jingyi, who didn't know much about elixir and had no interest in it, also began to read all kinds of medicine books, in addition to the ones hidden at home, when he went to the town and city to sell things, Zhang Jingyi would also buy some medicine books to study. And the "lazy cat" is also very happy, every time Zhang Jingyi sits quietly and reads a book, it will also sit on his lap and read together.
The most unbearable thing is that sometimes Zhang Jing's speed is fast when he reads a book, and this earth dog will hold his hand to turn the page, and he will not let go until he has finished reading.
Seeing his son so busy, Zhang Zhibi also smiled bitterly, if the elixir was really so easy to find, he would not have searched for nearly ten years in the mountains and found nothing. It's just that he can't bear to dampen the enthusiasm of this kid, so he can only let him go, but no matter how busy Zhang Jingyi is, the body refining martial arts worn by the relevant family have never been left behind.
This body refining martial art is extremely ancient, and the ancient one doesn't even have a name, and even Zhang Jingyi's grandfather asked the oldest elder when the family was still prosperous.
However, there are countless body refining martial arts in the world, and those who specialize in cultivating strength, even mortal bodies can lift thousands of catties; those who specialize in speed can fly sand and walk thousands of miles a day. In addition, there are many kinds of martial arts, which are the skills of combat, and they are not considered to be the category of physical martial arts.
And the Zhang family's inheritance martial arts has always been relatively mysterious, everyone in the family has a beginner's body refining book, only after making more contributions to the family, or after the strength reaches a certain level, can they be qualified to practice this intermediate book of body refining martial arts, and then it is the advanced book. This is to prevent spread and better protect the interests of the family.
Because the Zhang family was almost wiped out in that catastrophic beast tide, Zhang Jingyi's grandfather, because of his good talent, was given the whole book by the clan when he fled, rather than the primary and intermediate books.
Under the supervision of his father, Zhang Jing has been practicing this body refining martial arts since he was a child, so his combat power among ordinary children is also quite good. Being able to fight like this at such an age with a spirit body like Wu Yaowu, and cultivating to the triple realm of quenching the body, in addition to the dead skin and face fighting style of not being afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, the strength also accounts for a considerable part, which is thanks to this body refining martial arts handed down by the ancestors.
"Infinite strength, extreme speed, are not the best realm of martial arts. The human body is also like the art of war, there is a saying of coordination...... "When Zhang Jingyi was practicing, Zhang Zhibi talked about the essence of this body refining martial arts on the side.
Zhang Jiawuxue does not pay attention to improving strength, speed or other functions to the extreme, its core content is to mobilize the hands and feet, muscles, and meridians of the body, and pay attention to the coordination and rhythm of all parts of the human body, so as to achieve all aspects of improvement.
"To put it simply, if you have the ability to lift a thousand pounds with one arm, of course it is powerful, and you can beat people into meat sauce with a punch from your arm. But it's just pure and powerful, but the speed can't keep up, and when you encounter a dexterous opponent, you hit dozens of punches, and hundreds of punches don't hit, so it doesn't have any actual combat significance to be able to carry a thousand pounds. ”
"In the same way, if the speed is extremely fast, and others can't touch you if you can throw dozens of punches, it is certainly powerful, but if you meet a person with a strong defense, you will still be fine after hundreds of punches, as long as you are caught by someone during this period, you will have to wait for death. ”
"The martial arts of the clan pay attention to the coordination of each action, and there is no need to deliberately pursue strength, speed or physical strength, but only need to exercise every muscle involved in the battle, supplemented by some assassination methods, so that even in the midst of thousands of troops, you can also swim and fight. ”
"In the final analysis, what is important here is to conform to the law, improve one's own coordination to the extreme, observe the opponent's law, and look for flaws. At the same time, their own offense, defense and body style also need to follow the rules, observe the surrounding environment, even an inconspicuous stone can be used, you can use this stone for a sneak attack, you can also use the stone to change direction when moving, this is the subtlety of our Zhang's martial arts. ”
"Those who are purely seeking strength, speed, and defense to the extreme do break the limits of ordinary people and transcend the law, but the price to pay to achieve such a situation in one aspect is extremely high, and it is easy to fall into the mistake of taking care of one or the other. If you can find out the laws of heaven and earth, and after each balance is raised to the extreme, then you will naturally break through the limit and surpass the convention, and at that time, even if it is a mortal body, you can compete with the master monks, and even kill each other. ”
......
When Zhang Jingyi listened to his father's lecture, Xu Mo was also listening quietly on the side, this was the first time he understood the subtleties of this world's body refining martial arts, and it felt quite reasonable, and he also thought thoughtfully.
This appearance also made the father and son a little funny, this earth dog not only loves to read books and find elixirs, but also wants to practice martial arts?
However, although this matter is funny, Xu Mo is serious, his combat power in this world is too weak, even if he can't absorb the aura like a demon beast, it is not wrong to get a physical fitness such as refining martial arts, at least he can cope with a beast more fierce than him in the future.
In fact, what even a mortal body master like Zhang Zhibi didn't notice was that in the previous battle between him and Wu Ba, this earth dog showed speed and reflexes far beyond ordinary animals.
To be able to have this level without training is talent. The dog looks unremarkable, but it's anything but unusual.
Only Xu Mo himself knew that the speed and reaction ability he possessed was not something that he had slowly accumulated, it was purely his extremely keen perception of danger, in other words, it was more like a survival instinct in danger. This instinct should have been inherited from the countless dangers he had experienced when he was reborn dozens of times before.
If Xu Mo was still a little slack in the past, enjoying the stable days here, and trying to live a leisurely "pension version" crossing, but that was what he thought on the premise that he was really useless. At the moment when Wu Ba entered the door and kicked his incomparably swift flying legs, Xu Mo almost subconsciously dodged, and that time, it seemed to activate some of the potentials hidden in his body.
So the last 81 rebirths are definitely not a reincarnation of retirement, Xu Mo realized that no matter how weak he was, he still had to say no to fate.
As a result, the martial arts practice of a local dog called "Lazy Cat" soon spread throughout the village, especially the children were particularly curious about it. After all, a dog keeps doing weight-bearing exercises, physical training, all kinds of switchback runs and lateral movements, and even learning to split a horse, which feels like a clown in a theater no matter how you look at it.
After spreading a lot, almost every day when Zhang Jingyi got up early to practice, there were circles of little children outside the door, hiding outside the yard to watch all kinds of things. Seven or eight heads were squeezed through a small crack in the door, and there was a row of black and pressed little heads on the courtyard wall, laughing from time to time, and they couldn't calm down at all.
Without much disturbance, Zhang Jingyi had no choice but to go into the mountains to practice by himself, and a large number of people stared at him and couldn't calm down at all. What's more, now that he has reached the primary level of this body refining martial arts, in order to increase the amount of training, he has to change to a more cruel environment, so that he can better tap his physical potential.
Shapoling Village, where Zhang Jingyi is located, is at the foot of Qiaoling Mountain, which is endless, and no one in the village has ever walked it.
And they didn't dare to venture into the depths of Qiao Ling Mountain, the part close to the village was basically an ordinary beast, but there were some extremely powerful demon beasts in the deeper places, which was not something that ordinary people could solve.
Even if a monk goes into the mountain to hunt demon beasts, he must enter in a group, and the requirements for cultivation are extremely harsh, and the monks who do not reach the Seven Realms of Quenching the Body resolutely refuse to accept it, which shows how dangerous it is in the depths of this Qiao Ling Mountain.
But it is precisely because of the monsters here, there will be more or less a hunting team composed of monks into the mountain, the monsters are dangerous but also a kind of wealth, their fur and bones are treasures, if you are lucky enough, you can dig out the core of the monster beast that you kill, then you will make a fortune.
Unlike ordinary people who practice martial arts in mortal bodies, the path of cultivation can make people get ahead but also pay a lot of price, and only with enough wealth can they practice better. Not to mention the level of exercises and martial arts, the quenching liquid on weekdays, the elixir that accelerates the speed of cultivation, etc., are all extraordinary, and if you don't have money, you can only be a monk who is indiscriminate, just like Wu Ba, you can only be in the village.
Of course, Wu Ba has neither money nor talent, and he is lazy and wasteful, even if he is a pig that has been cultivating for decades, it is not just the fifth level of the quenching realm, and it can be regarded as capable of rotting like this.
It is said that Shapoling Village is extremely remote, and it should be a rather closed and bitter cold place, but because of the hunting teams coming and going here, there are many powerful casual cultivators, and even some business trips that do risky business, so that everyone is not a frog at the bottom of the well, and the general situation that Xu Mo knows about this world is what he heard from these people when he wandered around as a dog.
Since there are people, there will always be business, and the hunters in the village are often invited by many monks to be guides, which can be regarded as a good income, and Zhang Zhibi is like this.
There are good and evil people who come here, just because Shapoling Village is full of ordinary mortals, and those monks who dare to come here have an extremely extraordinary atmosphere, and ordinary people can't find out if they want to do something unclean.
There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation realm, that is, if you want to be horizontal, then make a world in the cultivation realm, they will not meddle in the affairs of the mortal world, nor will they kill or harm ordinary people. Therefore, everyone has seen strange immortals from all walks of life, but they have always been safe.
Therefore, when Zhang Jingyi proposed to go to the mountain to practice, Zhang Zhibi did not object, and did not hesitate at all about his son's safety. There are many hunting teams in this area to rest, and the demon beasts that are closer to the mountain village have long been wiped out, and they can't get any benefits if they don't go deep into Qiaoling Mountain.
