On the Gualing crossing, Zhong Shaoxuan's voice echoed with the sound of surging water: "We practiced martial arts, at first it was just for self-preservation and survival in the troubled times, but gradually it became a way to strengthen the body, prolong life, and even open up people's potential, and pursue the martial arts of the unity of heaven and earth." It is generally accepted in the world that there are two paths in martial arts, one is the inner royal road, and the other is the outer domineering. ”

Meng Shuai said: "If you cultivate both inside and outside, can you cultivate a king's qi?"

Zhong Shaoxuan didn't know what Meng Shuai meant by ridicule, so he only said: "There is no such name." The internal force practiced by the inner family and the strength practiced by the outer family, although the appearance is very different, I feel that it is one body and two tables, the same origin and the same quality. The root cause of this is too complicated for you to use for the time being. In general, the outside home is to practice boxing, weight-bearing, standing piles and other means to exercise muscles and bones, open up potential, and reach the limit. The inner family is all about cultivating the meridians, sensing the qi, cultivating the internal qi from the heart, and strengthening the inner house. In the direction of practice, the outside family emphasizes 'practice', and the inner family emphasizes 'cultivation'. ”

Meng Shuai didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and asked directly: "Is it better to have an inner family or an outer family?"

Zhong Shaoxuan was slightly distracted and said: "This question is a good question, if it is good for the body itself, the inner family is much better than the external family." The inner family nourishes the body from the beginning, and it is unbreakable and prolongs life. In terms of the future, the inner family is gradually in line with the Heavenly Dao, and it is easier to break through the supreme and secret innate realm......"

Meng Shuai heard the innate realm, and he was shocked, and a lot of cranky thoughts popped up in his mind.

Zhong Shaoxuan continued: "In terms of use, it is easier for the inner family and martial arts to fit, and the changes are more abundant, not to mention that many internal forces themselves will have magical special effects, which are far from being comparable to qi. The benefits of the inner family are endless, but among the martial arts practitioners in the world, the inner family accounts for less than one-tenth. ”

Meng Shuai said: "Then why, is there little inheritance in the inner family?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "On the one hand, as you said, there is little inheritance in the inner family. Well, it should be said that there is little inheritance of superior internal strength. You know the martial arts of the foreign family, above the basic martial arts, as well as the inferior, middle, and superior martial arts. The internal strength is also so distinct. The best internal strength, those high-ranking factions also have to be the treasures of the town faction, and they are rarely circulated outside. Other internal skills, the entry is very slow, the requirements for meridian qualifications are also high, the qualifications are poor, and they can't enter the threshold after practicing for a few years, but they are outside the kung fu, as long as they have hands and feet, how can they take root in a few years. Since they don't understand it, naturally the students won't understand it, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, the more they practice, the more wrong they become, and it is not as useful as practicing foreign kung fu. ”

Meng Shuai said in his heart: "So the external power is grassroots and close to the people, and the internal power is the high-end of the aristocracy?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "There is another section, since the internal strength pays attention to health preservation, the effect of attacking the enemy is poor." If you want to practice to the realm of Tongqi to collect wounded people, I am afraid that it will take decades of hard work. Before this, in addition to the body's resistance to disasters and frost, self-defense skills were really limited. ”

Meng Shuaiqi said: "Isn't it practicing boxing and beating people? Wouldn't it be good to learn boxing while practicing internal strength? Even if you are a foreigner, you don't rely on your strength to go into battle with Wang Baquan, right?"

Zhong Shaoxuan turned his head to look at him and said, "This is what I said about your luck, who doesn't want to cultivate both inside and outside? But people's energy is always limited." The cultivation of internal strength is very energy-consuming. ”

Meng Shuai was stunned, and Zhong Shaoxuan had already said: "Do you think that when you learn internal strength, you feel relaxed and happy, just like sleeping?" Actually, no, cultivating internal strength requires concentration, concentrating on carrying Zhou Tian, and beware of going crazy." After practicing for an hour, although the body is not damaged, the mental strength is exhausted, which is more tiring than fighting for two hours. Moreover, when sleeping at night, the internal breath unconsciously flows backwards, and most of the internal breath practiced during the day is dispersed, so the entry of internal strength is extremely slow. Therefore, those who practice both inside and outside must take advantage of the daytime to practice internal skills and then practice external skills, and pay twice as hard as others, and entering the country may not be as good as practicing a single one. It is said that the disciples of the famous sect will use many auxiliary means to help them not disperse their skills in their sleep, and they will enter the realm several times faster than others, but they have not heard of any kind of internal strength that is directly asleep, as a daily practice, and after waking up, they will practice boxing with a hundred times more energy. If this is the case, those who practice martial arts are both internal and external. ”

After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Although I am not sure, it is very likely that you are practicing a superb internal skill that has passed the superior internal strength. ”

Meng Shuai was said to be in high spirits, and an important reason why he crossed over and insisted on sleeping in the school was that Zhong Shaoxuan had always supported him. Meng Shuai felt that a person like Zhong Shaoxuan, who was good at martial arts and loved his brothers, did not object to him practicing every day, which at least proved that he was not wasting time.

Zhong Shaoxuan suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity, if only you could get a glimpse of the full picture of that set of internal strength." Then I will rest assured that you will turn to the inner family. It's a pity that there is only one sentence, so it can only stay at the first level, and it is difficult to go further. After all, this inner family can only be an assistant, and it still has to practice external skills. Let's go back and choose another teacher for you. ”

Meng Shuai let out an "oh", a little disappointed, and felt very sorry for the fragment of the best internal strength, but because he didn't know how powerful the internal strength was, he was not particularly persistent, so he said: "Then where do I go to join the teacher?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "There are several major forces in the vicinity, and this needs to be chosen slowly." If you talk about swordsmanship, of course, it is the Eight Immortals Sword School, and if you talk about boxing, it is the eight-armed Nezha Gate. If you talk about the future, after all, the Protector Mansion is under the Governor of Jiang, and I also have a ...... over there But what I want you to go to most in my heart is the Snow Mountain City of the Snow Desert King. ”

It was the first time for Meng Shuai to hear about the world outside Gualingdu, he pricked up his ears, trying to find out the most popular sect from it, and when he heard about Snow Mountain City, he felt that the name of the sect was high-end and high-grade, and he yearned for it, and said: "Is the Snow Desert King amazing?

Zhong Shaoxuan smiled: "You kid, it's okay to talk nonsense here, don't ask like that when you go out." Isn't it a matter for me to compare these famous figures with your brother? King Xue Mo is regarded as the top figure in Liangzhou, even if he looks at the Great Qi, he is also a first-class person, where can I compare? As for that lady......" He pondered for a moment and said, "That lady is far superior to me, and I can't compare." ”

Meng Shuai was taken aback, looking at the posture just now, he originally thought that Mrs. Fang and Zhong Shaoxuan were evenly matched, so he asked more: "If Mrs. Fang did it just now, would we finish playing together?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "Although it can't be said absolutely, it is generally like this. ”

Meng Shuai said: "In that case, then why didn't she do it just now?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said leisurely: "This question, except for the lady herself, probably no one can answer it." ”

The brothers made it all the way back to town. The Zhong family is one of the richest families in Gualingdu, and the Zhong Mansion is also a first-class mansion. But a small town with only a few hundred households, the scale is limited, and the so-called rich households are very watery. The Zhong Mansion is just a tiled house with two courtyards, and the three fathers and sons of the Zhong family live there.

Entering the courtyard, only an old servant greeted him, Zhong Shaoxuan asked, turned back to Meng Shuai and said, "Father hasn't slept yet, I'll go see him, you go first." ”

Meng Shuai agreed and left by himself, Zhong Shaoxuan took a deep breath and raised his feet into the main courtyard.

There are five main houses in the main courtyard, and there is still a light on the east side, showing that the owner has not rested. Zhong Shaoxuan stepped forward and knocked on the door, and he heard a cough inside, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Shaoxuan said: "Father, I'm back." How are you these days, how are you doing?"

Inside, he said: "That's it. If there is not a day, it is not necessarily dead. Go back and rest. ”

Zhong Shaoxuan said respectfully: "Yes." Father, I just found Xiao Er ...... outside the town."

The man inside interrupted, "Are you dead?"

Zhong Shaoxuan was stunned, and after a while, he replied, "Second brother is fine." ”

The person inside sighed and said, "It's okay if you're not dead." I wasted half a day. Then there was a pop, the lights went out, and the whole upper room was completely darkened.

Zhong Shaoxuan stood at the door, swallowed a breath from his throat and swallowed it into his stomach, feeling uncomfortable, and it took a long time before he regained his usual face and said, "Father, rest in peace, the child retires." He turned and walked out of the yard.

At the same time, Meng Shuai had already entered the kitchen.

Even if he guessed, he could guess what the Zhong family's father and son said, anyway, he wouldn't go to see that old man Zhong.

Knowing that people don't want to see him and go for abuse, that's when he is sick. Since crossing over, Meng Shuai has met with that old man Zhong many times, and he can count them on one hand.

I heard that Zhong Er, the deity, although he has a rebellious personality, is very eager for family affection deep down, and he practices martial arts day and night in order to prove himself to his father, for which Meng Shuai expressed his gratitude and insensitivity. According to him, this old man Zhong is probably not Zhong Er's father, maybe he is dragging an oil bottle or something. Since it is not a relative, no matter how much you prove yourself, it is impossible to get family affection.

Of course, how did Zhong Er come about, he won't delve into this kind of gossip, people lack money, lack strength, and lack IQ, but I haven't heard of anyone lacking a father.

He already had a father in his previous life, and now he must be rubbing hemp at home, and it is not a big deal to have a father in this world. If there is really a father-son relationship, you can also look at it as an adoptive father or elder, but now in this situation, you can only look at it as a boss, and it is not okay to turn your face, after all, you still have other people's jobs in your hands.

Speaking of rice bowls, Meng Shuai picked up the lid of the pot from the stove, and there was really half a pot of sauce meat left in it, although it was cold, he could still smell it, and his stomach growled.

He slept one day a day, and the evening was equal to the morning, and now he ate one meal for breakfast, and one meal in the early morning was considered dinner. The Zhong family doesn't have this schedule, and Old Man Zhong won't eat at the same table with him at all, so every time he goes home, he goes to the kitchen to find food by himself.

There was a fire under the stove, Meng Shuai raised the fire, waited for the broth to boil, and put noodles inside.

The next otaku skill is something he knew in his previous life, and making a fire is a survival skill he learned in this life.

As the broth became hotter and hotter, the thick aroma of meat spread, Meng Shuai took a breath, the bottom of his tongue was full of relish, and he felt that he had sublimated.

Suddenly, he felt a flash above his head, and a shadow popped out of him and plunged into the soup pot.

Meng Shuai was shocked, but he said that it was a mouse, and before he could think about it, he grabbed it into the soup pot with one hand.

"Ahh

The soup pot has been boiling for eight minutes, and it is almost equal to boiling water if it is not as good as the oil pot, Meng Shuai gave a hot wail, and thanks to his well-trained, he could still grab the contents of the soup pot indiscriminately at this time, and retracted his hand violently. Jumping off the stove, running to the water tank, pressing his hand into the water with the thing he was carrying, popping, causing a large splash.

"I'm going to it. Meng Shuai took a breath and said, "How can I eat noodles?" ”

When the pain in his hand dissipated a little, Meng Shuai felt that what he was pinching seemed to be a smooth, slippery limb, and he was still struggling, and he stretched out his head to look into the tank, and saw that the toad was fluttering in the tank.

Is it an ingredient in the braised field chicken prepared in the kitchen?

No, it seems to have jumped out of myself.

After taking another look, Meng Shuai's heart suddenly moved, this toad - where does it seem to have been seen?

He slapped his thigh, isn't this a stone toad that has been lying under the sapling in the black soil world?

I actually jumped out on my own!

"So, I've worked hard to convey internal force for so many days, and I have sacrificed my body, just in exchange for you?" Meng Shuai lifted the toad out of the water with a hand, "What's so special about you, it's worth waiting for you for so long?"

After the toad popped out, it was the size of a fist, and the whole body was dark, if it weren't for the cheeks that were a little lively, it looked like a toy cast of pig iron. Such an ugly appearance is somewhat discouraging, and if there is anything worth taking a look at this thing, it is that there are four vertical lines on the back of the toad, and the color is slightly different, although it is not bright, but it also has a slight metallic texture.

Meng Shuai looked at it again and again, really disappointed, and said with it: "It's just such a ......"

Before the words fell, the toad struggled, jumped up more than three feet high, and jumped onto Meng Shuai's head.

Meng Shuai only felt as if he had been hit on the head by an ice cube, not to mention the cold touch, his mind buzzed, and it was dark, his body was numb, frozen in place, and everything in front of him was still.

When he came back to his senses again, there was a black earth in front of him.

That's right, the sun is like a light bulb above, the black earth is below, and not far away, tall trees stand out in sight.

This is a world he has seen countless times in his consciousness, but has never set foot in!

Arriving here in person, Meng Shuai can be sure that this is really his world.

Observing it at his own size, this world, the black soil exposed by the thick fog, was no more than ten square meters at most, and how much area was behind the black fog, he didn't dare to investigate.

And the only creature in the black soil world, the huge sapling, supported the entire heaven and earth, and the two thorny leaves could only be looked up, like a wonder, like a celestial phenomenon, and the huge leaves were closed one by one, scattering deadly danger signals.

He walked cautiously a few steps, but stopped a few feet away from the sapling, and the previous body was eaten, and his own body was also filled in, so there was no need to change.

After praising the magnificence of the trees again, Meng Shuai suddenly had a question - himself, what are you doing here?

Goo - Goo - Goo -

A frog chirped, and a toad jumped over his head and toward the trees.

Is that guy still there?

Meng Shuai was almost about to reach out to grab him, but he took a step and immediately took it backβ€”don't think he didn't know, the animal world had warned aboutβ€”that some animals and plants had a symbiotic relationship, with animals acting as bait, taking their prey to insectivorous plants, and the carnivorous plants took action, and those animals ate the residue......

It's a dangerous place, so it's better to go out early.

Meng Shuai was pondering how to get out, the toad had already jumped at the foot of the tree, but it didn't attract an attack, it jumped up again, but instead of jumping onto the two open flytraps, it burrowed into the sparse canopy of the sapling that had not yet grown.

Whew-

Knock knock knock.

Everything was messed up continuously, and it all fell on Meng Shuai's head impartially, Meng Shuai instinctively stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful-

Time freezes in this moment.
