Liu Jizu didn't pay attention to what the master said, he was now more interested in learning martial arts, and he didn't understand some things, so he hurriedly asked, "Isn't the martial arts you said referring to moves?"

Wu Lun shook his head, "You haven't started to learn real martial arts yet, so you don't understand." Now what you are practicing is called building a foundation, which is what everyone has to go through before learning martial arts, that is, laying the foundation, which is just the premise of learning a martial art, and it is nothing. It's just that the stronger the sect, the higher the requirements for this premise. And a complete martial art must include at least five aspects: exercises, techniques, equipment, training methods and auxiliary methods.

Among them, the exercises mainly refer to the way of exerting force and breathing methods that are suitable for this martial art. Techniques mainly refer to the various moves that fit into this martial art, that is, what the samurai learned. Instruments refer to weapons and protective gear that are handy. Not much to say about the training method, it is similar to what you are practicing now, but it is more targeted, and it is specially designed for a certain martial art, including the training equipment, content, time, intensity, etc. There are even more varied auxiliary methods, including but not limited to the combination and quantity of diet, the traction and stimulation of drugs, the exercise and strengthening of will, and so on.

To put it simply, the so-called martial arts are just skills that train oneself to attack the opponent through the above series of methods and methods, and not be attacked by the opponent. Different martial arts, different content, different levels, and different room for improvement, generally speaking, they are divided into three categories, four and so on.

The three categories refer to the fact that there are three different types of martial arts according to the different purposes of training, which are used to fight and show off their skills, to walk the rivers and lakes, and to fight on the battlefield.

The fourth class is divided according to the sophistication of the martial arts.

The number of first-class martial arts is scarce, that is, there are only two in our sect, and the content of this kind of martial arts is perfect, there is a lot of room for improvement, and the requirements for practitioners are extremely high. In addition to the large number of resources required and the difficulty of improving, the practitioner's own understanding is extremely crucial. But when this kind of martial arts is practiced to the peak, it can reach a very high level or even the peak of martial arts.

There are relatively many second-class martial arts, and most of our sects are like this, and this kind of martial arts has a certain room for improvement, and it is also unique. The advantage is that the requirements for practitioners are average, just like you, it is more practical, the cost is average, and the cost is high. The disadvantage is that there is limited room for improvement, and there are certain defects in itself.

The third-class martial arts are the most, and the general small and medium-sized sects use them more, and in fact, there are also extraordinary, but they are relatively rough, and they are often not very well considered, and they need to be further improved and improved. This is how ordinary martial arts were when they were first created, but after being perfected and corrected, they may be able to improve their actual level to a second-class or even first-class level. As I said earlier, our sect is good at perfecting and improving martial arts, and most of the martial arts we collect are this kind of martial arts, and then organize people to improve and improve them.

The fourth class is the simplest and most practical kind, with the least cost, and is generally used in the army, mostly for collective training, and is almost not used in the Jianghu sect. Because the strength of a single martial artist who practices this kind of martial arts is average, although there are a small number of masters who have come out of the sword mountain and sea of blood, they are a minority after all. This kind of martial arts is suitable for group attack and defense on the battlefield, and is not very suitable for walking the rivers and lakes. If you encounter such a group of well-trained warriors on the battlefield, you have to be careful, not to mention the masters of the rivers and lakes, even if you are a martial saint, you can only flee for your life in the face of a certain number of such fighters. ”

Liu Jizu pursed his lips, obviously not convinced.

Wu Lun didn't see it, "Therefore, strictly speaking, the classification of these sixth-rank martial artists does not refer to the strength of someone's martial arts, but to his achievements in martial arts." In addition, it is also problematic to measure it entirely by the number of martial arts mastered. About three hundred years ago, there were three seniors who had reached the level of martial saints in the rivers and lakes, and there were not many types of martial arts they mastered, they were all two or three, and the level of martial arts was not high. But they later practiced their martial arts to the extreme, and thus entered the Tao.

Your master is the same, he went to the sect to test after learning two martial arts with his master, and after passing it, he learned another martial art and it was difficult to meet an opponent, and the martial arts he learned later were only for further improvement, and it did not help him to improve his martial arts level. Therefore, the level of martial arts in the rivers and lakes cannot be completely measured by the number or level of martial arts mastered, but also depends on the degree of mastery and exertion of each martial art. It's like a brother who is a master and studies together, but because of individual differences, the level of martial arts is very different.

In addition, the achievements of martial arts are relatively easy to measure, and the level of martial arts can only be known by comparison. And martial arts and desperate fighting are two different things, some people can always win in competitions that can guarantee their lives, but when it comes to fighting to the death, they are quickly killed. Therefore, it is difficult to say the level of martial arts, and sometimes it cannot be said, because sometimes the difference between high and low is to see life and death.

Even in many cases, seeing life and death does not necessarily distinguish between high and low, because the process of martial arts competition is very short and full of variables. Such as the physical condition, diet, mood, experience, weather, atmosphere, will, venue and so on will affect the result of the competition. Therefore, I have always doubted that the results of the competition really reflect the level of martial arts?

I don't think so, it's just a result, and it doesn't accurately reflect a person's martial arts attainments. But everyone always judges heroes by the success or failure of the results, I hope you don't have such prejudices, and don't get carried away because of a few victories in the future, and feel that you are the best in the world. The so-called number one in the world is just a false name, and no one can always be the first in the world. Birth, old age, sickness and death, physical weakness, is a law that cannot be disobeyed, only by being modest and cautious at any time can you live long in the rivers and lakes, remember?"

Such a large amount of preaching is very rare for Wu Lun, and it seems that the treatment after apprenticeship is indeed different. Liu Jizu was a little bolder, he first replied that he remembered, then poured a glass of water for the master, and then asked: "Master, you mean that according to that classification level, you have reached the level of the great grandmaster, which represents your martial arts attainments and achievements, but the level of martial arts is not easy to measure, am I right? And since you are all great grandmasters, why don't you come out and build a sect and become a sect master or something?"

Wu Lun was silent for a moment and nodded, "You summed it up well, it seems that Mr. Tian said that you are really smart." As for leaving the sect, I never thought that people should have self-knowledge. I'm fine with tasks and disciples, but I'm not good at business management. It's not easy to create a sect, I can't do it, and it's too troublesome. You see how good it is now, carefree, peaceful, and not concerned with all kinds of nosy. ”

Liu Jizu thought differently from his master, he was determined to make a career, he was worried about whether there would be a lot of constraints when he joined the sect, so he asked, "Then do we have any rules or anything like that?"

Wu Lun frowned and thought for a while, "Of course there is, we are happy to know that the academy does not pay attention to these clichés. I remember only three articles, the original text is weird, I can't remember clearly, anyway, it means that you must not betray the master, listen to the teachings of the master and the master, and do not pass on what you have learned and known in the sect without authorization, and that's what my master told me. ”

Liu Jizu squirmed for a while, and finally asked embarrassedly: "Master, don't be angry with the last question, I asked this because I was curious, I didn't mean anything else, I want to know how to get out of the sect?"

Wu Lun's face was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he still said coldly: "There are two ways, first, return the martial arts skills taught to you by the master, that is, kill you or abolish you; second, complete the tasks arranged by the master, earn enough money for the master, and get the approval of the master, and you will be independent." Why do you want to break away from the teacher? How good it is to be like me, free and free, and free from any constraints?"

"Don't you also have to do things for the sect? you have to go out to do tasks several times a year, how can you say that you are not restrained?"

Wu Lun listened to it and knew that he didn't know much about the sect, and explained: "Generally speaking, after you leave the school, you have to do ten things for the sect. After these ten things are done, even if you have paid off the money you owe to the teacher, after all, it costs a lot of money to train a disciple, and we call this paying tuition. After completing these ten things, you can no longer take on the tasks of the sect, as long as you abide by those rules, the sect will not care about you. You can live in the sect and study martial arts, as long as you can afford to pay the money, or you can leave the sect to support yourself, just like being a teacher.

But although the money is gone, the kindness is still there. If the sect is in trouble, you have to go to the rescue, and this situation is only a few times during the ancestral period, and it is unlikely to be encountered. The sect has special tasks that require you, and you must complete them when they are not life-threatening, but there is a reward for completing such tasks, and there is a lot of money. Of course, the sect will also protect you, others hurt you and kill you, and you are not at fault, as long as you report the letter back, the sect will stand up for you.

Moreover, you can also take the initiative to take on the tasks of the sect to earn money. Some tasks in the sect are difficult and dangerous, and the rewards are also very rich, even for the most ordinary tasks, the remuneration obtained is enough for an ordinary family for several years. You also know that I spend a lot of money, and I go to work on tasks to earn some money, which is voluntary, not required by the sect.

In addition, those who have mastered the four martial arts at the level of a teacher, and have done enough tasks, that is, they have earned enough money for the sect, or have made a certain contribution to the sect, can stay in the sect and be the lowest level of the elders. As long as you guide the disciples in the sect, you will have money, but I don't like to be bound, and I still owe favors that I haven't paid off, so I've been floating outside. When you leave the school and repay Mr. Tian's kindness, I will also take your master and wife back to the sect to retire.

There is also the fact that if you teach an apprentice outside and bring it back to the sect, as long as you pass the test of the sect, you can receive a sum of money as a master. What's more, you can also take money to learn other martial arts from the sect, which is a benefit that other sects don't have. Do you know why our sect is named the academy? It is because our sect has the most martial arts cheats among the three schools, so the rivers and lakes spread that Zhige City is famous for weapons, Shennong Valley is famous for medicine, and we are famous for martial arts cheats.

Just because we have a lot of martial arts, most of the ordinary disciples of other sects will only teach one martial art, but our sect can teach two martial arts to ordinary disciples for free. In our sect, after learning two martial arts, you will be considered a teacher, and if you want to continue to learn other martial arts, you have to pay money. That's a lot of money! It hurts to think about it now.

After working hard for the teacher for nearly ten years, I paid the tuition fee and saved enough money to learn the other two martial arts, if you are not a member of the sect or have left the sect, no matter how much money the sect has, the sect will not teach you. In addition, if you really want to leave the sect, you just need to sell your life for the sect for a few more years and earn more money to hand over to the sect.

When you have paid enough money, the sect will sign a contract with you, stipulating what you have learned and know in the sect that can be passed on and what you can't pass on, and what obligations you have to fulfill if you open a sect outside the sect, etc. Generally speaking, the martial arts that the sect itself has inherited or created by itself are not allowed to be passed on, and the rest of the martial arts are okay. So, unless you want to stand on your own, why break away if you have nothing to do?"
