Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cultivating the Soul?
"Cultivating the soul?!"
This is Xu Yi's first thought after watching "Qinglian Internal Strength".
Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons.
This is the core concept of this exercise, and it is also the origin of the name of this exercise.
As mentioned earlier, the essence of this world's martial arts system is to transform physical energy and soul energy into internal force, and all their exercises revolve around this.
After an unknown number of years of evolution, they have developed two paths, one is to strengthen their cultivation skills, and the other is to strengthen their root bone talents.
They can also be understood as software and hardware.
At present, the mainstream exercises in the rivers and lakes are still in the 'software'.
"Qinglian Internal Strength" is also, or its founder's original idea is also biased towards strengthening the path of cultivation skills, but it is slightly different from the technical direction of the traditional internal strength method.
The cultivation techniques of the traditional internal strength method are quite delicate, such as whether the first inflection point of your first meridian should be heavy or light, heavy or light, and how to control the shape of the internal force at the second bend; And then when you have the second meridian, how stable the first meridian should be, and so on.
In addition, there is also the frequency of breathing, the cooperation of various internal organs in the body during cultivation, and even one's own body movements, external environmental factors, and so on.
Each family and faction almost has its own unique cultivation techniques, and there are so many patterns that it can even make countless martial artists feel stunned when they see it.
Although Xu Yi only had one "Huashan Basic Internal Strength", he had also learned a lot of internal skills in the collection of Huashan School, and he was also surprised to see it at that time, and even sighed.
"The seniors have already walked all the roads, and it is basically impossible for us juniors to open up a new path. The only way to follow the path opened up by these predecessors is to continue to move forward. ”
This was what he thought at the time, but after seeing "Qinglian Internal Strength", he knew that he was small and the pattern was small.
There is still a new way for the martial arts of this world to be created, and it is another avenue to heaven!
"Heart!"
This is the new path of martial arts that the founder of "Qinglian Internal Strength" wants to open up.
The cultivation of any martial arts technique has the need to cultivate the mind (non-personal mind), without any exceptions.
The only difference is that some exercises have high requirements for cultivating the mind, while others have low requirements for cultivating the mind, and that's it.
Cultivating the mind is a very mysterious thing, but after analyzing it, you will find that it is very simple, it is nothing more than how quickly you can enter the state of concentration, how well you can enter the state of concentration, whether your concentration is good or not, whether you are not easily disturbed, and so on.
Doesn't it seem simple?
But the importance of cultivating the mind is not simple at all!
There is no need to take others as examples, just look at Xu Yi under normal conditions and Xu Yi in a serious state, and the difference between the cultivation effect is directly twelve times, you can know how much influence the cultivation mind has on cultivation.
Xu Yi, who was in a serious state, cultivated an ordinary exercise to an effect that could not be achieved by the top divine skills!
The founder of "Qinglian Internal Strength" has indeed chosen a road to heaven, if he can really come out, maybe it is really possible to create a top-notch divine skill.
It's a pity that he went a little off······
The founder of "Qinglian Internal Strength", his creative ideas are actually very simple.
How can one strengthen one's own mind?
Of course, it was an ordeal!
So, it took him many years to finally develop a way to hook up his negative emotions and blend with them, and through repeated experiences of these negative emotions, he can achieve the effect of honing his mind and ultimately strengthening his mind.
Did he succeed?
Not really.
Because almost all the people who practice this exercise are driven crazy by themselves!
Including the founder of "Qinglian Internal Strength"!
His intentions were indeed good, but he failed to control a 'degree' problem well.
Once you practice this exercise, the early stage is fine, there are not many negative emotions, and the impact will not be particularly large, but in the later stage, these negative emotions will accumulate more and more, and eventually reach the point where your whole person will collapse!
In this world, there are too few people who have a lot of negative emotions and can fully face up to all their past.
Some people who are optimistic by nature and don't have many negative emotions or children with a child's heart may choose to practice this internal skill, but the problem is that "Qinglian Internal Strength" relies on negative emotions, you don't have this thing, what good can you do by practicing it?
"What's more, this exercise is not used to strengthen the mind at all!"
Xu Yi felt the soul energy that had faintly improved a little in his sea of knowledge, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The founder of "Qinglian Internal Strength" is really a genius, no, a ghost! An exercise that originally wanted to cultivate the mind was turned into a soul cultivation method by mistake! ”
Just now, Xu Yi couldn't help but cultivate, of course, he didn't follow the original cultivation method of "Qinglian Internal Strength" to arouse negative emotions, but chose to arouse positive emotions.
The reason why the founder of "Qinglian Neigong" chose negative emotions as the object of communication is not because he has any masochistic tendencies, but because on the one hand, negative emotions are more suitable for the word 'sharpening', and on the other hand, negative emotions are better used than positive emotions!
When we recall those good memories of the past, we may smile and be happy for a while, but if we think back to those bad memories of the past, we are likely to be unhappy for most of the day.
In such a comparison, it is naturally better to hook and use negative emotions.
However, it makes no difference to Xu Yi, who has a state of ease, as long as he is willing, both positive and negative emotions are the same for him.
Although Xu Yi felt that there was a high probability that there would be no problems, in order to be cautious and not let himself really have any problems, he finally chose to use positive emotions.
It's not that hard.
Xu Yi read "Qinglian Internal Strength" again, and then switched to a serious state again, and after fully comprehending it, he easily changed the original negative emotions into positive emotions with a simple operation.
Then, there is the most crucial process of 'communion'.
At first, Xu Yi thought that this was as if he had deliberately felt various emotional memories in order to obtain spiritual energy, which was another 'immersive' experience of past memories.
But after really starting the 'integration', Xu Yi found that these are completely different things!
