Chapter 70: The way of martial arts is all about restraint

Murong Ding smiled mildly: "Being able to learn Xiang Qilin's stunt is a rare opportunity for you to create. Although he does not have the name of master and apprentice with you, it is equivalent to having the reality of master and apprentice, so you should be polite when you talk to him in the future. ”

Xiang Bin nodded yes, Murong Dinghan sighed lightly, and said, "Since this matter is over, then come with me and teach your martial arts to the teacher." ”

Xiang Bin nodded silently, followed Murong Dinghan with Long He and the other three disciples, walked out of the martial arts arena, bypassed several mountain roads, and came to a very quiet and hidden bamboo forest.

Following the cobblestone path in the bamboo forest, until the inside of the bamboo forest, a flat land appeared in front of everyone, about dozens of zhang wide, and it was also a small martial arts field hidden in the forest.

Xiang Bin's eyes lit up, obviously admiring the martial arts arena arranged in the bamboo forest, and the four of them also looked at it again and again, their eyes full of appreciation for this unique martial arts arena. Murong Dinghan looked at the expressions of his apprentices, smiled slightly, and said, "Every martial artist has his own place to teach, and this is the exclusive place for the teacher, and it is the Xingzhu Garden. Except for a few of you, no other students are allowed to come here at will. So you don't have to worry about anyone disturbing you when you practice here in the future. ”

The five students stood upright, looking at Murong Dinghan, their expressions full of anticipation.

Xiang Bin was indeed a little curious in his heart, since even Xiang Qilin praised himself for his good vision and worshipped Murong Dinghan as his teacher, then if he wanted to come to this master, he must have something extraordinary, but he didn't know what it would be?

In addition to Xiang Bin and Long Ji, the other three disciples were called Xiang Zhi, Xiang Xuanshu and Xiang Jing. The three of them also worshipped after hearing Xiang Qilin's evaluation of Murong Dinghan, and they were naturally full of expectations at this time.

Murong Dinghan smiled slightly, looked at the five disciples in front of him and asked, "What do you all want to learn?"

The expressions of the five people were a little dazed, they thought that the master would start teaching directly, but who would have thought that they would ask such a question...... What do I want to learn? The five of them asked themselves in their hearts at the same time, and after a while, Xiang Xuanshu said timidly, "Master...... I want to learn a sword. ”

Murong Dinghan nodded and looked at the others again. Xiang Jing thought for a while and said, "I want to learn boxing kung fu, I don't like to use weapons." ”

Xiang Zhi thought about it very seriously and said, "I want to learn knives." ”

Long He shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and said, "Master, I am most afraid of learning something for too long, so it is best if you can teach me more new things, the more the better." ”

Murong Dinghan was stunned, looked at Long He deeply, smiled lightly, and said, "Hehe, interesting!" looked at Xiang Bin again: "What about you, Xiang Bin, what do you want to learn?"

Xiang Bin thought seriously for a while, and instead of answering, he asked a question: "Master, is there invincible martial arts in this world?"

Hearing Xiang Bin's question, Murong Dinghan restrained his smile, looked at him with a serious expression and said: "The sword has a sword way, the sword has a sword intent, and there are eighteen kinds of weapons, each with eighteen kinds of artistic conceptions. No matter what kind of martial arts it is, as long as you practice to the top, you can laugh at it. There are only invincible people in this world, how can there be invincible martial arts?"

The answer Xiang Bin heard was exactly the same as what he thought, but a bigger doubt came out in his heart: "In that case, why do people in the world have to create so many weapons and martial arts? Isn't the achievement that can be achieved by spending energy on refining a martial art instead of creating it out of thin air?"

Murong Dinghan's eyes lit up, revealing a look of appreciation: "Being able to think of this shows that you are attentive." Yes, since there is no invincible martial art in the world, why should people in the world bother to create ......martial arts? However, this is not possible. ”

When Xiang Bin heard this, he realized something in his heart, but he still listened to Murong Dinghan's words very carefully.

"The birth of the world's earliest martial arts was an imitation of people observing the operation of all things in heaven and earth and touching their laws. For example, learn the movements of birds and beasts, or use true qi to simulate the power of various natural disasters...... As you can imagine, in the beginning, this simulation was quite simple, without much classification and not so complicated. But as this imitation continues to occur, the simple martial arts become more and more complex, and after countless people have sorted, studied, and inducted, they have derived endless martial arts in the world.

Since martial arts originally came from imitating all things in nature, the final way of return, that is, the highest achievement that could be achieved, was naturally from simulating nature to returning to nature, and then integrating into nature, and finally becoming one with nature, that is, the highest realm of unity between heaven and man pursued by martial artists.

The way of heaven gives birth to all things, nature is endless, do you say that there is a Tao in a leaf? Is there a Tao in the action of a tiger predatoring? A drop of water falls from a high place, and after thousands of years it pierces through the hard stone, is there a Tao among them? There are three thousand avenues, endless, since martial arts are derived from the endless way of nature, how can there be an end? Not to mention that everyone cultivates a kind of martial arts, can you know which martial arts is the best? If we want to abandon all the martial arts in the world and leave only one, then who will choose this one?"

Murong Dinghan seemed to be asking Xiang Bin, and seemed to be asking himself: "In the human body, there is an endless small world, this world is hidden in the deepest part of human potential, it is difficult to detect, but it is naturally inextricably linked with the Heavenly Dao. And everyone's small world is unique and completely different. Some people naturally like to be close to the water, bathing and wandering in the lake and river all day long, enjoying themselves. Some people naturally like to be warm, bask in the sun, and the oven fire will be leisurely and comfortable...... This is the small world that is unique to each person, and it resonates with the nature of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, if you practice the way of the sword, you will enter the country for a thousand miles. When I practice swordsmanship, I often get twice the result with half the effort. He cultivates fire energy, and his skills have grown rapidly, and there are also people who practice cold ice true qi, and they can do ten years of martial arts for others in a year...... Because of this endless and completely different small world, there is an endless martial arts with a broad spirit in the world. ”

Xiang Bin muttered: "In that case, if you want to achieve something, you must find the martial arts closest to your own small world...... But how can we judge which way of nature is closest to our little world? And which of the many ways of nature is the strongest?"

Murong Dinghan looked at him and said: "The first preference in a warrior's heart is often the closest to his own small world, because the ** in his heart does not come out of thin air, it must be that he feels something, and he will yearn for it...... But it is not absolute, and it still requires the martial artist to constantly explore and explore in his practice. As for which Tao is the strongest...... There is no strongest way in this world, only the way of mutual restraint. ”

"The way of mutual restraint?"

"That's right, for example, Jin Ke Mu, Mu Ke Earth, Earth Ke Water, Water Ke Fire, Fire Ke Jin...... The five elements of mutual restraint are the most fundamental and pure way of mutual restraint in the world, and they are also the root of everything. If it is more detailed and cumbersome, then for example, long soldiers naturally have an advantage over short soldiers, and darts and bows have more advantages than long soldiers...... But once you get close, short soldiers are more advantageous than long soldiers and hidden weapons, which is the way of mutual restraint in martial arts. It will be constantly transformed in a cycle due to the time, place, people and other conditions. Cats catch mice, dogs take rabbits, tigers hunt antelopes, cranes catch poisonous snakes, it is also a kind of mutual restraint...... Since martial arts come from nature, of course, it also implies the natural way of restraint. Therefore, there are ever-changing martial arts in this world, on the one hand, because martial artists need to fit the Tao that is most in line with their own small world, and on the other hand, because of the relationship between mutual restraint and mutual restraint, everyone wants to restrain others and not be overcome by others, so there are so many choices. ”

Xiang Bin frowned and asked: "But if you say this, then no matter what kind of martial arts you practice, no matter how clever you are, there will inevitably be martial arts that restrain this kind of martial arts, and if you continue like this, how can there be no end?...... No wonder there are only the strongest masters, not the strongest martial arts, if you want to be invincible in the world, the best way is to achieve your own martial arts to the extreme, so that people can not be restrained...... For example, if I am a monstrous fire, and you are just water in a bowl, you will naturally not be able to overcome me...... In that case, isn't it the same to practice all kinds of martial arts?"

Murong Dinghan smiled lightly and said, "Of course it's different. ”

There was a hint of mystery on his face, as well as a hint of pride: "Since all things naturally restrain each other, then we will incorporate all things in nature into the small world, no matter what path you cultivate, I have my own way to restrain you...... In this way, the world is naturally invincible. ”

Xiang Bin's body was shocked, and his expression was incredulous: "How can there be a martial art in this world that integrates the way of all things?"

"Why not? If I say that there are martial arts in this world that contain all the ways of all things, are you willing to learn from me?" Murong Dinghan looked at Xiang Bin, his eyes sparkling, full of anticipation.
