Chapter 175: Enlightenment

"Master!!

It wasn't until the dust settled that everyone woke up, and the Yiqi Sect disciple hurriedly turned around and pulled Fang Baoshan out of the ruins with all hands and feet.

It was indeed a ruin, Fang Baoshan's collision directly smashed the vermilion gate of the one-gas valve into broken wood residue, and even the signboard on the lintel was almost shaken down.

But this is no wonder Xu Yang, it is caused by Fang Baoshan's own reasons.

If you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty when you get old.

If you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty at any time.

Fang Baoshan belongs to the latter, in order to break through the threshold of life and death and step into the coveted realm of the great master, he gave up everything, whether it was inconsequential side matters or indispensable cultivation points, he gave up them all, only practiced martial arts, not martial arts.

Gong is the art of longevity, martial arts is the law of protecting the Tao, the consequence of only practicing martial arts without practicing martial arts is that there is no way to exert the skill, the combat power is weak, and the clumsiness is very large, and it can only be used to suppress people with force, and to bully the big with the small, not to mention that the opponent who is slightly weaker is difficult to compete with.

Therefore, don't look at Fang Baoshan's profound skills and strong true qi, but his combat power is the bottom of the five great grandmasters, such as Mei Qinghe, a kendo master, although he is much inferior to him in terms of true qi skills, but he can rely on his superb sword skills to win in battle, and even take his life.

This is the consequence of not practicing martial arts.

But Fang Baoshan has come to an end now, not only because of the problem of not practicing martial arts, but also because of the reason why he does not practice the law, does not practice the body, and does not practice the soul.

That's his biggest problem!

Superior martial arts, whether it is the authentic Tao of the Buddha, or the left way, or even the evil and crooked ways, the cultivation of the exercises requires the parallel of body and mind.

In other words, if we only focus on the growth of physical strength and ignore the cultivation of the spiritual Dao, then there will only be one result in the end.

It's just - the body and mind are out of control, and they go crazy!

The mind controls the body, the mind determines the height, without the mind control, the mind guides, no matter how strong the body is, no matter how high the skill, it does not have much meaning, but will damage itself, and even lose control and die.

This is the case of Fang Baoshan, in order to step into the realm of the great grandmaster in his lifetime, he gave up everything, even the mental method in the practice of the exercises, and devoted himself to practicing qigong, wanting to practice strong enough true qi to open up the second vein of Ren Du, break through the threshold of life and death, and achieve the great grandmaster.

As a result, he practiced, possessing a high quantity, a high quality of True Qi, but he couldn't control this high quantity, a high-quality True Qi, like a big truck, with a full fuel tank and a changed tire, but he couldn't get on the high speed because it had neither a steering wheel nor a brake clutch.

If you continue to develop like this, let alone become a great grandmaster, it is a miracle not to practice yourself to death.

The practice of the mind is not only indispensable, but even more important than the exercises.

This point is known by looking at the major factions, whether it is Shaolin Wudang or Kunlun Emei, the status of Wenxiu is always higher than that of Wuxiu, and the eight first seats of the Damo Academy are added together, and the importance is not as important as a senior monk of the Taoist Academy, even if this senior monk has not practiced martial arts for a day.

Taoism and Buddhism, after practicing to a certain extent, there is no need to take the initiative to cultivate, the body will give birth to mana on its own, and even supernatural powers, it is the real mind that affects the body, and the mind changes matter.

Of course, there is no one in tens of thousands of people in this kind of people, or even one in 100 million, so the cultivation of the Dharma by various schools is still the practice of the Dharma and the Dharma of the mind, both the cultivation of the body and the practice of the Dharma, and the two complement each other and complement each other.

This is why, Xu Yang once said to Zhu Wanfang that in martial arts practice, the beginner of the mind is the top, the beginner of the exercise is the middle, the beginner of evil art is the bottom, and there is also the saying that the brave and the righteous are invincible.

To cultivate superior martial arts, the mind must pass, and if the mind is not passable, it is to give you the secret of magic skills plus a large number of resources, and in hundreds of millions of years, you can only pile up a madman, a waste, and a time bomb.

Fang Baoshan is such a time bomb.

Only cultivate the skill, not the mind, although the true qi in the body is strong, but it can't be controlled at all, it's okay not to move at all, a move is like the truck mentioned before, stepping on the accelerator and rushing to the high speed, the result is that there is no steering wheel, two no brake clutch, and finally not only their own car is destroyed

death, but also affect others.

Just now, Xu Yang's last blow detonated this time bomb and dispersed the true qi in his body, so the power of the collision he flew into was very terrifying, and the thick vermilion gate was directly smashed into pieces.

This is the result of the catharsis of true qi and raging.

Things have developed to this point, Fang Baoshan's skill can be said to have been mostly wasted, and whether he can cultivate back and resume the cultivation of the martial arts master after that is a worrying unknown.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Yang, on the contrary, Xu Yang saved his life, if it weren't for today's battle, after a while, he would not be as simple as abolishing martial arts.

So......

"Let's go."

Xu Yang turned around and left.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.

"One valve, also defeated."

"And so badly defeated!"

"Fang Baoshan's appearance, if he doesn't die, he's crippled, right?"

"Who's to blame, he practices like this, and it's already a big fate to not die."

"He's also too urgent, Great Grandmaster, there is no one in ten thousand, is it so easy to achieve?"

"Don't say that he is a lay disciple, that is, within the Kunlun Sect, there is a true lineage, and how many great grandmasters are there?"

"There are a few more, one is not bad, this is still the foundation of the top sect, for those inferior first-class sects, even the second or third schools, there will not be a great master for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Martial arts are difficult, martial arts are difficult!"

In the crowd, looking at the bleak ending, the one who was at a loss, and the martial artists of the Second Realm were also related, and sighed sadly.

In comparison, it's just ordinary people, and the audience who doesn't understand martial arts doesn't think about it so much.

"Five great grandmasters, one more defeated!"

"Which one is next?"

"Still fighting, big guy, aren't you tired?"

"Which one of the five martial arts halls and the five grandmasters shouted at the street before?"

"Dianyimen is more than swordsmanship, not an opponent, one gas gate fights true qi, and the same defeat."

"What's next, you won't have such a thing as a flying sword, right?"

"Then again, what is he kicking the gym for?"

"You don't say I've forgotten, yes, why, arrest someone?"

「……」

Everyone talked a lot, and most of them were puzzled, but they still followed Xu Yang and came to the door of the third martial arts hall.

"Tai Chi Gate!"

"Wudang Sect!"

Looking at the signboard of the third martial arts hall, everyone had lost their previous expectations and passions, only numbness and tiredness.

Expecting again and again, in exchange for disappointment again and again.

Bursts of passion, in exchange for bursts of blows.

Naturally numb, naturally tired.

They can't muster up their strength, and they can no longer be the backdrop for this stage to sing and decline.

Everyone was in a depressed mood, and the martial artists of the Second Realm who were hidden in them did not have much hope.

"Point Yimen, Mei Qinghe, defeated."

"One breath, Fang Baoshan, is also defeated."

"Now it's Wan Zhengming's turn to Tai Chi Gate."

"Taijimen, Wudang faction, better Yi Emei, one Kunlun."

"But it's not much stronger, get rid of Fang Baoshan and Chen Tianyun, the five great grandmasters, it's not bad."

"This person is so strong, first defeated Mei Qinghe with a sword, and then defeated Fang Baoshan, even if Wan Zhengming is stronger than Fang Baoshan Mei Qinghe, he has no chance of winning against him."

"You can't win for sure, it depends on how you lose, I just hope he doesn't lose too badly, otherwise, the face of Wuguan Street ...... Hey!"

"Fortunately, it's not the Eagle Claw Gate, I hope this one can consume him some, and in the end, Chen Tianyun will go out again, then the odds will be great."

"Chen Tianyun...... Let's hope!"

sighed in my heart, all powerless.

Can't blame it

Everyone is so pessimistic, several rounds of blows are so cruel, and all the spirit and spirit have been lost, how can they not be pessimistic.

Now, they can only pin their hopes on Chen Tianyun, the strongest among the five great grandmasters, as for Wan Zhengming at the moment, and Zhou Mengfei, who has not yet appeared on the stage, they have been regarded as stepping stones to pave the way.

Is that really the case?

Nobody knows!

In front of the Taiji Gate, the same formation was opened, a middle-aged man stood quietly in front, and a group of disciples were in the back.

The middle-aged man's temples are slightly white, his face is vicissitudes, slightly sad, and he is slightly thin under his robe, which is somewhat similar to the previous Mei Qinghe, but he does not have the chic indulgence of Mei Qinghe's gentlemanly style, but reveals a sense of being sad and desolate.

"This ......"

"He is Master Wan of Taijimen?"

"Why does it look so ...... Poor sour?"

"Something can't happen at home, right?"

"You don't speak, no one treats you as dumb!"

Looking at Wan Zhengming, who was gloomy, everyone felt very weird.

Xu Yang didn't say much, and stepped forward and said, "Taijimen, Wan Zhengming?"

「……」

Wan Zhengming was silent for a while, then raised his hand, clasped his fists and said, "Taijimen, Wan Zhengming, I've seen Chief Xu."

is as polite as Mei Qinghe, not as confident as Fang Baoshan.

Seeing this, Xu Yang also simply: "Come on."

「……」

When Wan Zhengming heard this, he was silent again, but in the end he did not refuse: "Please advise!"

After that, he stepped into the battlefield, put on a posture, and waited for Xu Yang to attack.

「……」

Xu Yang looked at him and didn't say anything, Tai Chi started his hand and started the offensive.

Tai Chi in front of the Tai Chi Gate?

What is the difference between this and playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong?

Of course!

Although Wudang is famous for Tai Chi, it is not the source of Tai Chi, let alone the only Tai Chi sect.

There are many Tai Chi schools in the world, and Wudang's Zhenwu Tai Chi is only one of them, not to mention the Tai Chi Sect that represents the world, and even the Dao Sect cannot be completely included.

For example, Xu Yang, what he practiced was the Bagua Tai Chi passed on from Uncle Feng, and he combined the moves of other Tai Chi schools, which was plausible with Wudang's Zhenwu Tai Chi.

Therefore, playing Tai Chi in front of the Tai Chi Gate is not an axe for the class, let alone a deception of the teacher and the ancestors.

Xu Yang Taiji started and tried to attack, and Wan Zhengming also responded with Tai Chi and defended calmly.

Sometimes with softness to control softness, slow to play fast, sometimes with soft to overcome rigidity, with fast to fight slow, the two figures seem to be slow, like moving and quiet, to see everyone dazzled, dizzying.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Wang Jinlong frowned.

Seeing Wang Jinlong frowning, Lin Lian and the others were also a little surprised: "What's the matter, Uncle, Brother Yang is in danger?"

"It's not."

Wang Zhenlong shook his head, looked at Wan Zhengming in the field, and muttered: "Taijimen, Wan Zhengming, among the five great grandmasters, the master of the two fighting for one, martial arts attainment, not inferior to Mei Qinghe, the foundation of martial arts, may not be as good as the sword to go to the edge, extreme cultivation of Fang Baoshan, but with the support of Wudang's True Martial Turtle and Snake Pill, it is also unfathomable, very strong, how can it be ...... now?"

"What's going on now?"

The key place came to an abrupt end, making everyone so nervous that they couldn't do it, and they hurriedly asked.

"Now he's ......"

Wang Zhenlong shook his head, his expression strange: "I have no intention of fighting."

"Unintentional?"

"What do you mean?"

The crowd was puzzled, and was about to ask, when they saw ......

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the air shook out, Wan Zhengming took a few steps back, and a wisp of bright red overflowed from his mouth, but he ignored it, stabilized his footsteps, put on a posture, and waited for Xu Yang to attack.

Seeing this, Xu Yang stopped, looked at him with an indifferent expression, and asked, "Why bother?"

Wan Zhengming's expression remained unchanged, and the blood on his lips was lost in his hand,

Yu Yu said, "I can't help myself, I have no choice but to do this."

"No wonder you have such a cultivation, such an attainment, but you have ended up like this."

Xu Yang shook his head and said conclusively, "You are defeated!"

「……」

Wan Zhengming was silent for a long time before he lowered his head in despair, and said weakly, "Yes, I lost!"

As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Xu Yang: "Sir Xu, you won, Taijimen, Wan Zhengming, admit defeat!"

Anyway, regardless of Xu Yang's reaction, he turned around and walked towards the door.

When Xu Yang saw this, he said, "With such a cultivation, you shouldn't make mistakes."

「……」

Wan Zhengming paused, froze in place, and then did not turn back, turned his back to him, and said in the dark: "Right or wrong, who will decide?"

"Right is right, wrong is wrong!"

"Black is black, white is white!"

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly, "You should be clear."

Wan Zhengming turned around, looked at Xu Yang, and smiled inexplicably: "Chief Xu, be careful, Chen Tianyun, it's not trivial!"

After that, regardless of Xu Yang's reaction, he led a group of disciples into the Taiji Gate.

"This ......"

"What's the situation?"

Such a move, such a result, seeing that everyone was stunned, I don't know why.

Is this a loss?

Is this a failure?

How did you lose?

How did you lose?

I can't understand it at all!

Also, what are the two of them talking about in a weird way?

Who's going to explain?

The crowd was astonished, and they didn't know why.

But no one solved the puzzle, and all the martial artists of the Second Realm were silent.

Wan Zhengming, defeated, expected, and reasonably.

But why did he lose, where did he lose, and where did he lose?

Ordinary viewers can't understand it, only they, the martial artists, know the key.

Wan Zhengming was defeated, like Mei Qinghe and Fang Baoshan, he was defeated by the enemy and himself.

Mei Qinghe's defeat is comprehension, it is the understanding and comprehension of swordsmanship, and he is complacent, so he fails.

Fang Baoshan's defeat was his heart, he was in a hurry, he was anxious for quick success, and his sword went sideways, so he failed.

And Wan Zhengming ...... It's the self that loses!

He has a very high level of comprehension and extraordinary martial arts attainments, which is on par with Mei Qinghe, a kendo master.

He has a solid foundation, although it is not as profound and majestic as Fang Baoshan's sword, but it is better than the combination of physical strength and mental method, there is no leakage up and down, no defects inside and outside, and if this kind of development continues, it may not be impossible to break through in the future. ap.

His only problem is that he is self-controlled, and his heart is missing.

What's missing?

Tai Chi Gate!

Superior martial arts, the most important focus on the law, there are obstacles in the heart, and the law cannot be achieved.

The key to this mental method lies in the understanding of thoughts, the clear heart, there are no obstacles, it is not necessary to pursue justice or beauty, it is okay for a big woman to do great evil, only to resolutely implement and implement it firmly, and the most feared thing is to hesitate, waver, repeatedly jump sideways, and be in a dilemma.

Wan Zhengming is in such a self-obstacle, his heart is upright, and he is above board, but all kinds of Taijimen make him upright and hypocritical.

He didn't want to do this, but he had to do this, just like Huo Huan, what he did was not what he wanted, and it was even more contrary to his heart, but because of the various responsibilities on his shoulders, he had to make mistakes.

And when he faced Xu Yang, he just wanted to go through the motions, and try to save the face of Taijimen while calming things down.

The heart has an obstacle and shackles himself, which is the reason for his failure.

But Xu Yang did not expose his problems, his flaws, and bloodily as he did with Mei Qinghe and Fang Baoshan before.

It's not that they are treated differently, but that there are some things and some truths that need to be understood!

The same scripture, the same reason, why do some people suddenly open up after reading it, and even become a Buddha on the ground, and become immortals, while some people are still ignorant after reading it, or even confused?

It's the difference between enlightenment.

There are some things and some truths that you must comprehend by yourself in order to truly understand.

If someone tells you that it's a thousand things and ten thousand, you may not be able to listen to them.

Otherwise, if you recite the Tao Te Ching 10,000 times, wouldn't you be able to go directly to Da Luo Tian as a Taoist ancestor?

It doesn't make sense, you can only understand!

This is the reason why Xu Yang does not break it, he hopes that someone can understand this truth.
