Chapter 316: Exercise comprehension
After that, the fourth and fifth batches were completed, and in the end, it took half a day for the second level of the trial to be completed, and only half of the more than 700 people in total passed the test.
However, no one was eliminated this time, and all of them stayed to participate in the third level.
The third level of the trial is very simple, it is to comprehend a low-level technique of the Shining Silver Gate in one night.
The exercises are carved on the mountain wall at the end of the square, and there are nine types of exercises.
They are "Black Tiger Fist", "Kaishan Palm", "Tianxing Leg", "Wind Spirit Step", "Liuyun Knife", "King Kong Sword", "Flashing Gun", "Shooting Sky Bow" and "Silver Fire Needle", representing the four halls and four pavilions under the Shining Silver Gate.
These nine sets of exercises only have patterns and no words, and each pattern is not coherent, so they have to rely on their own exploration and understanding, and the disciples who participate in the trial can choose one of them, and then spend one night to comprehend them, and then test them the next day.
With the announcement of the law enforcement elder, the people who passed the second level of the trial, including Huang Ming and Xiao Huahula, surrounded the mountain wall at once, fortunately, the pattern was very large, and it was not crowded when you looked up.
Na Jun and the others squeezed in front of Huang Ming and Xiao Hua again.
"Two big brothers, what exercises do you want to comprehend, why don't we do it together?"
Na Jun and they want to hug their thighs again, the reason why the mountain people of Baiyi Country are said to be born with martial arts is because the mountain people have a strong comprehension ability and can learn without a teacher, Na Jun naturally does not want to let go of this opportunity.
"That's not good", Xiao Hua frowned.
"I said that the fat man, whether it is martial arts or immortals, in addition to hard work, the most important thing is understanding, also called enlightenment, if even enlightenment depends on people, how can you improve yourself, and how can you enter the Tao with martial arts?"
"We know this, cultivation must only rely on oneself, but this enlightenment is just a trial, if the ranking is too low, you will not be able to enter the four halls and four pavilions and the Chamber of Commerce, you can only become an outer disciple, so you can only rely on the two big brothers"
"Outer disciple? What do you mean? Huang Ming forked.
"Oh, the disciples of the Flash Silver Gate are also divided into the inner gate and the outer gate, and only those who rank in the top 100 in each introductory trial can enter the four halls and four pavilions and the Chamber of Commerce to become the inner door disciples, otherwise it is just the outer gate", Na Jun explained.
"What's the difference between an inner door and an outer door?" , Huang Ming continued to ask.
"The inner door is the official disciple of the Shining Silver Gate, there is a special master to teach the technique and there is no need to do chores, the outer disciple can only practice in unity with the head of the Gongfa sect, and the cultivation technique can only be exchanged by doing chores."
"And this kind of statement? Looks like we're really going to have to be in the top 100."
Huang Ming nodded, the inner disciples have a special master to teach techniques, he and Xiao Hua want to inquire about the news of this world, then naturally they can only get in touch with high-level martial arts cultivation by becoming an inner disciple.
"How can I help you? Shall we comprehend it first and then teach you? Huang Ming asked again.
"That's not necessary, we just need to comprehend the same kind of exercises, and communicate with each other", Na Jun smiled, a few of them are also Xiao Wu Xiu who has reached the enlightenment stage, and hugging their thighs is just to be safer.
"Then what exercises do you want to comprehend?" , Huang Ming nodded.
"We have only practiced fists and feet and melee weapons before, except for "Shooting the Sky Bow" and "Silver Fire Needle", it depends on what exercises the two eldest brothers want to comprehend."
"Except for "Shooting the Sky Bow" and "Silver Fire Needle"? But that's what I want to understand."
Xiao Hua interjected, he didn't like melee fighting, and when he looked at the set of "Silver Fire Needle" exercises on the wall, he immediately thought of Zou Shuniang's Silver Crystal Needle.
Na Jun was a little disappointed, and looked at Huang Ming again: "Then what does Brother Huang want to understand?" ”
"I'm the opposite of him, or you follow me, let's choose "Black Tiger Fist""
Huang Ming likes melee combat, and he learned "Rakshasa King Kong Fist" in Xiao Lingtian, since this is just a test of comprehension ability, it is naturally more certain to choose familiar ones.
"Forget it, I also choose boxing"
Xiao Hua changed his mind, after all, he and Huang Ming didn't come to learn martial arts exercises, if they wanted to get in touch with high-level martial arts, they naturally had to become inner disciples first.
So everyone sat cross-legged in front of the exercise pattern of "Black Tiger Fist" and began to meditate and comprehend.
These nine sets of exercises on the wall only have patterns and no words, and each pattern is incoherent, no matter how the practitioners who comprehend that set of exercises are at the beginning, they have to be unable to understand their shapes, and one by one they learn the moves in the patterns to swing their fists and dance swords.
After more than an hour, someone learned all the moves and began to try to perform all the moves in a set of exercises in a coherent manner.
Na Jun and the others are also trying, but no matter how they adjust the order of their moves, they are still incoherent.
"These exercises on the wall are incomplete, and it seems that there is a lack of enlightenment and transformation between different moves", Na Jun first noticed the problem.
"Yes, there is still a lack of internal energy to work in the mind, even if you learn the moves, it is not powerful"
Li Yangfan added, and Bao Zhaohong, Bao Zhaowei and Lao Bai nodded one after another.
"Well, it seems that the test of this level is to see if we can realize the enlightenment and transformation between the moves in these exercises, and how to use the power of qi and blood", Huang Ming nodded, and he also saw it.
The reason why these nine sets of exercises on the wall are incomplete is to test the practitioner's understanding, if you just draw a scoop based on the gourd, you will definitely not be able to enter the top 100.
The moves of a set of exercises are not only attacking or defending, but also attacking and defending or defending and attacking when switching, so as to form a continuous attack or offensive and defensive transition.
For example, if I hit you in the head with a straight punch with my right hand, and you bend your arms in front of your head to resist, this is called me attacking you and defending, but at this time my attack is complete, and if you want to attack, you have to stop your punch and hit again.
At this time, you bend your arms in front of your head, and you can attack directly as long as you punch, which is faster than when I close my punch and punch again, so under normal circumstances, I will defend immediately if I miss, which becomes you attacking and defending.
But offense and defense are not static, if my right hand straight punch is just a false move and a left hand straight punch is a real move, then once you give up the defense, you will get a punch and you can only continue to defend, so I become a continuous attack, and you become a continuous defense.
But whether it is continuous attack or continuous defense, there must be a move between the moves.
For example, the right straight fist is followed by the left straight fist, the left straight fist is followed by the right hook fist, etc., only when the moves complement each other to form a coherence can a relatively threatening combination punch be played, and the combination punch is actually the core of the exercise.
And the set of "Black Tiger Fist" that Huang Ming and they are comprehending is equivalent to a left straight fist after the right straight fist or a right hook after the left hook, which is incoherent, and if it is forcibly performed according to the map, it will inevitably be full of loopholes.
"Come, let's sort out the moves first", Huang Ming stood up, the comprehension of the exercises is not just sitting and thinking, the best way is to practice in actual combat, and then summarize and improve.
"You guys practice, I'll go see other exercises"
Xiao Hua was not interested in boxing and decided to go and see the set of "Silver Fire Needle".
So Huang Ming and Na Jun began to practice, Bao Zhaohong and Bao Zhaowei, Li Yangfan and Lao Bai, and Xiao Hua went elsewhere.
