Volume 3 Chapter 12 Internal and External Training
It is said that human potential is infinite, and that is because the human body itself contains a universe, which can be described as a "small universe".
The universe is boundless and endless, filled with all kinds of forces, yin and yang, four images, five elements, and eight trigrams......
The practice of internal strength is actually a process of developing the small universe in the body, drawing out the power in the small universe in the body and turning it into one's own use, which is the so-called internal force.
This is also the reason why the internal strength of different attributes of the inner strength of the mind will also be different from the cultivated internal force attributes.
It is precisely because the universe is all-encompassing, then the power you develop by cultivating the fire attribute exercises is naturally the fire in the five elements, and what you get is the fiery internal force that represents fire.
Like Jiuyang Divine Skill, it is a pole yang exercise, and what it has developed is the internal force in the universe that represents the yang attribute of the two instruments.
This is the mystery of internal strength, but in addition to the small universe in the human body, there is also a universe outside the body, that is, the great universe in which all things in heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars exist.
There is no doubt that there are also various forces in the great universe, and those who accept the power of the great universe into the body are cultivating immortals.
No matter how big or small, it is also a complete universe, so a martial artist can reach an extremely high realm, and he can become holy in the flesh and shatter the void with the power in his body.
However, it is always more difficult to develop than to plunder, and it is much more difficult to cultivate martial arts and develop the small universe in the body than to cultivate immortals and plunder the large universe outside the body.
Therefore, it is relatively easy to cultivate immortals, and it is more difficult to cultivate martial arts.
But since it is plunder, then it is necessary to bear the blame of the great universe, and immortal cultivators always have to face all kinds of calamities, and only by surviving the three calamities and six calamities can they achieve the immortal path.
Martial cultivation, on the other hand, does not have to face the Heavenly Tribulation, but the small universe in the body is too mysterious, and it is really difficult to develop it to a very high level.
Therefore, in the world of immortals, there are many cultivators who have become immortals, but there are not many outstanding ones.
There are very few people who have cultivated martial arts and become holy in the flesh, but every successful one is a great power that has been passed down through the ages.
Of course, these truths were all deduced by Luo Changfeng based on the information he had, this world is just a world of mortal martial arts, and there are no immortals.
As for the white ape, Luo Changfeng preferred to believe that it belonged to a creature similar to the "Divine Condor".
It used to have a master of swordsmanship, it followed the master for a long time, and gradually learned the master's swordsmanship, which is the advantage of the white ape compared with the divine eagle.
Because it is an ape and has a body similar to that of a human, it can also master the skills of a human.
The Condor is a bird, and the only thing on the body that is similar to the sword is the beak of the bird, so the Condor can only learn some ways to advance and retreat, and imitate swordsmanship with the beak of the bird.
The white ape can calculate its master's swordsmanship, footwork, and body skills.
When it fought with Ah Qing, the energy attached to the bamboo stick was undoubtedly the power from the great universe, which was the so-called heaven and earth aura.
This is a mortal martial world, and there is no way to cultivate immortals, so the creatures of this world cannot absorb the aura of heaven and earth into their bodies.
But there are masters in this world, that is, people like the master of the white ape, who can attract the aura of heaven and earth to attach to their bodies and weapons through a mysterious rhythm.
This is the source of the strength attached to the white ape and Ah Qing, both on their bodies and on bamboo sticks.
Their footwork, body skills, and sword skills are all integrated with that wonderful rhythm when they are displayed, and the aura of heaven and earth will be attached to it.
Although there are not many heaven and earth aura attached, just a small strand, but it is this small force of heaven and earth aura that makes their speed as fast as thunder, and their swordsmanship is as fast as lightning.
Coupled with the wonderful moves, it formed a magical swordsmanship that Luo Changfeng couldn't parry.
After half a year of stealing learning, coupled with his own private hard practice, he has already learned seventy-seven eighty-eight in the footwork and body swordsmanship of the white ape and A Qing.
It's a pity that half a year has passed, and the white ape has slowly been unable to beat Ah Qing, every time he fights with Ah Qing, it always can't hit Ah Qing, but Ah Qing can often hit it.
Ah Qing didn't know the severity of the shot at all, the white ape was beaten by her and was miserable, and slowly, he rarely ran out to attack Luo Changfeng again.
So far, the white ape has not appeared for a whole month, so Luo Changfeng's swordsmanship has never been able to achieve complete success, let alone reach the level of Ah Qing.
So Luo Changfeng hit Ah Qing's idea, he asked Ah Qing to play with himself with a bamboo stick, but Ah Qing's shot was not light or heavy, it was more fierce than the white ape, Luo Changfeng fought with her for dozens of times, and was poked in the center with a stick.
Luo Changfeng vomited blood on the spot and suffered internal injuries, which scared Ah Qing a lot, and since then, she has refused to talk to Luo Changfeng about anything.
Luo Changfeng didn't want to force her, so he had to sigh secretly and stop mentioning this stubble.
That time, Luo Changfeng used his daily exercises to heal his injuries, and it took him half a month to recover.
However, he also clearly saw his progress, half a year ago, he couldn't walk in the hands of the white ape.
But now, he has been able to exchange dozens of moves with Ah Qing, and he is only defeated because his moves are not as subtle as Ah Qing, and his speed and dexterity are not much weaker.
But Luo Changfeng clearly knew that the gap between him and A Qing was more than that.
Because he is now "cultivating both inside and outside", after learning the swordsmanship of Bacheng White Ape and Ah Qing, coupled with the role of internal force, he can persist in dozens of moves under Ah Qing, if there is no internal force blessing, I am afraid that within a dozen moves at most, he will have to lose.
It was only now that Luo Changfeng realized the true meaning of "internal and external cultivation".
In the past, he always thought that people who studied martial arts were both internal and external, and the inner naturally referred to the internal strength, and the outer refers to the external skills that exert the power of the internal strength.
Now he already knows that this understanding is very wrong, and the real internal and external cultivation actually refers to the internal reference to the small universe, and the external cultivation of the large universe, so that it is the real internal and external cultivation.
Although there are still some unsatisfactory things, but this reincarnation, his harvest has been very large, and Luo Changfeng did not force it anymore, held a normal heart, and lived a simple and ordinary life with A Qing.
......
On this day, after Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing's mother and daughter came back from the field, they still held bamboo sticks as usual and drove the sheep out of the city with Ah Qing.
Luo Changfeng's body is no longer the one he was in when he entered, but the new clothes sewn for him by Qingmu, a gray cloth shirt, and the long hair on his head is also coiled up like ordinary people, fixed with a hairpin made of wattle branches, which looks ...... Well, it's just the appearance of a peasant boy.
After passing through the alleys and turning around the long blocks, they arrived at the main street connecting the city gate, but Luo Changfeng and A Qing found that there was a group of people gathered on the main street, and they didn't know what they were doing.
The next moment, the two of them only heard a burst of arrogant laughter and singing, "My sword is sharp and the enemy is fearless, and my sword is swift and the enemy is leaderless...... Hahahaha......"
Luo Changfeng's brows furrowed slightly, such an arrogant person, is your sword very fast? Why do I not believe it so much!
