"Martial arts, also known as national arts, are actually divided into three forms, one is the way of playing, one is the practice method, and the other is the performance. ”

"What you are learning now is tending to be between performance and practice, just like Tai Chi, the kind of slow and leisurely flow of the old grandfather and old lady in the park, it is all performance, not even practice, the real Tai Chi fighting, few people know how to do it"

Chi and Dao

"Why is this happening?"

Wang Changsheng felt that he understood a little, but he still wanted to know more

"There are many reasons, the most is because the change of dynasty in the war has cut off many inheritances, and often the geniuses who practice martial arts are more enthusiastic and aggressive than ordinary people, so they die the fastest in the war, and geniuses often carry inheritance, in the past, the view of the portal was very serious, and if one died, a piece was missing, and the inheritance of national art became intermittent after a long time."

Chi and patient answers

"The last glorious period of national art was in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, at that time, the national art gossip master Cheng Yanhua, the Xingyi Sect master Shang Yunxiang, the Taiji master Yang Luchan and so on, at that time, because guns and cannons were not yet popular, the national art was not only to strengthen the body, but a means of killing, so people also had more in-depth research and development"

"And in the wartime, countless masters of national arts died on the battlefield, and the inheritance was broken, coupled with the reform of gun technology, national arts gradually evolved into martial arts, and became a kind of physical fitness sport, except for a very small number of major sects that still adhere to the inheritance of national arts, most of the rest of the masters are in the army."

"Can the master tell me what the realm division of national art is?"

There have always been big questions about this Wang Changsheng

Shiwa smiled and continued

"The national art tradition is divided into bright energy, dark energy, and the transformation of strength corresponds to the training of bones, tendons and marrow, which is too young for you to say much."

"Because of the serious inheritance of the generation, it was not until recent years that the state advocated the improvement of quality education, the traditional national art took a breath, and now there are very few bright spirits except for those who have the conditions to learn from the big sects, most of them are in the army, and the dark energy is even less, and they are rare, and they can be used as a sect of grandmasters, and these people are generally regarded as guests."

"Master, then do we have any national skills in the Wudang Sect?"

Wang Changsheng hurriedly asked

"Yes, after all, we are a big sect of orthodox Taoism, although the inheritance has also been broken, but there are still some heritages, some of your inner uncles and uncles will go to join the army or become some martial arts school instructors" Zhihe said

"Then can I learn, master, I want to learn national arts"

After hearing this, Wang Changsheng felt a burst of eagerness in his heart

"You are still too young, not suitable for learning the national arts, the national art is a means of killing, only killing, not performing, you are not enough to control the mind now, you can only practice the national art when you grow up, now you can only learn more inner door exercises, enhance the physique, at the same time study more, read more, open the mind to control the way of playing, then you can learn" Zhihe shook his head

Wang Changsheng thought about it, it was the same thing, he practiced martial arts just because he liked it, not to fight and kill, at most he pretended to be a force, and when he thought that the national art was so exciting, he was also a little hairy in his heart, so he wanted to retreat to the second best thing to learn and practice

"Then can I learn the practice method?"

"It's not appropriate for you to learn the practice now, that's what only a real inner disciple can learn, it's different from physical fitness, although the killing moves are not obvious, but the promotion is also very fast, you can't control yourself at this age, and it's very easy to get into trouble."

Zhihe rejected Wang Changsheng and wanted to wait until his mentality was mature before teaching him according to the situation.

Wang Changsheng was also disappointed when he saw Zhihe's answer, obviously there was a way to enter, the master was unwilling to explain in depth for him, it seems that he is still too young, there is no way, he has just been apprenticed for a month, and the relationship is definitely not so good, he said that he wants to learn and teach others, how is it possible.

I can only wait a little longer, Wang Changsheng, who wants to understand, said to Zhihe

"Then master, can I use my free time to go to the Taoist Academy to study Daozang. ”

Daozang is also Wang Changsheng's goal, after all, it is related to the development of spiritual power

"This is okay, in the future, you will go to the Taoist Academy in the morning to study"

I am also very happy about Wang Changsheng's studious ambition, after all, ordinary people can't stand the incomprehensible tongue-twisting scriptures, if Wang Changsheng can calm down and take a look at the Daozang, given the time of time, he will definitely reach the standard of learning and practicing the Fa soon.

The study of the Taoist Academy is more boring than the Wuyuan Academy, the Wudang School is a holy place of Taoism, and the Taoist collection can be described as very rich, but its practical books seem to carry a lot, and if you watch it with an e-book in the future, each book will be hundreds of thousands of words to death, and for those novels that cannot move over the millions of levels, the number of words is really small

Wang Changsheng is an old bookworm, and he is also very confident with his super memory, the only most difficult thing is to understand, just like memorizing ancient poems and classical Chinese in elementary school, you can memorize but it doesn't mean that you understand what it means.

Holding the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture" Wang Changsheng looked confused, he knew every word, but he didn't know what the situation was when it was connected.

"The preface to the true scriptures of the Great Cave of the Shangqing Dynasty

The husband is born in nothingness, the hidden spirit is unpredictable, the god is condensed in the void, the wonderful is ever-changing and there is no way, the soul is fine and the Taiding shines, and the mystery is boundless and the void is quiet, which is called the big hole. And it gathers the essence and concentrates the spirit, the ancestor Qi to wander and whirl; refining the gods will know the way, and the auspicious wind is inspired; there is nothing in the middle, the breath scatters the shape of the gods; the movement is extremely quiet, and the wonder of the trance around the emperor is called the wandering wind mixture. It is the foundation of heaven and earth, and the origin of the emperor's creation.........."

For a moment, Wang Changsheng seemed to see his grandmother, who had passed away in the previous life, beckoning to him, and almost threw away the scriptures in his hand, this is not something that people can see at all, okay, I used to think about reading all over Confucianism and Taoism, and thoroughly improving my spiritual power through the great wisdom of the ancients, but now I am afraid that I am not scratching my dreams.

With a bitter face, Wang Changsheng looked at it hard, this is even more difficult than classical Chinese to N grades, at a glance, he doesn't even have the desire to memorize, but he has no way to blow the atmosphere to the Taoist Academy, so he can only memorize it by rote, and he really has a feeling of reciting classical Chinese in a junior high school classroom.

The teacher above looked at the child with a bitter face in the front row and smiled silently, the child is curious, and if he wants to learn, he will follow the learning, and it doesn't matter if he can't learn.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the teacher began to explain sentence by sentence, which was interspersed with some history, and the annotations were not very boring, but they were very slow and difficult to learn

I didn't even finish the first paragraph in the morning, Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief after class, and almost knelt down, it was too difficult, the history interspersed in the middle, and the biographical notes were okay, but the specific timely teacher slowed down to talk word by word, but it was still similar to listening to the book of heaven, and it was still interesting to practice boxing.

In the afternoon, I thought that I was proficient in the usual martial arts class that was boring, but Wang Changsheng learned it with relish and did not feel bored at all.

When he went to bed at night, lying on the bed, Wang Changsheng felt that it was still necessary to learn the Tao, and he did not give up easily because it was difficult to understand and boring, and began to recall over and over again a small paragraph that he remembered today through contemplation

This is really difficult, even if he contemplates ten years of concentration, Wang Changsheng felt that his head hurt, but fortunately, he could endure it after only a short while, so he gritted his teeth and began to insist.

The progress of Daozang is very slow, it is not a simple written comprehension and recitation, but also has to have your own ideas to understand and integrate, learn a short paragraph a day, and then visualize and review in the evening, the boring martial arts have become an entertainment activity in the heart, relax

After studying for a month, Wang Changsheng only memorized what the teacher taught, and did not integrate it into his own understanding, but after a month of perseverance, he was also used to this kind of life, and at the same time, Wang Changsheng also let go of the inflated mentality at the beginning, I have to say that the ancients were indeed bullish, and they should be in awe of the wisdom words that can be passed down, and the more they learn Wang Changsheng, the more they feel that they are small.

Wholehearted devotion also makes time pass quickly, although there is no progress in martial arts, but it is more proficient than before, the master said to practice it until it is integrated into itself, and then wait until the state of mind reaches the standard to learn to practice

At this time, Wang Changsheng was not in a hurry about this, but let go a little and put more energy into the difficult Daozang....... That's right, it's still the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture", and I haven't finished learning it until now.

The more I learn, the more I feel a lot, I have been working behind closed doors for the past ten years, although it has also reached a point that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, but this is like a brick erected on the ground, although it is spit out, but it is not comprehensive enough, maybe this is Kaizhi, temporarily put aside the pursuit of a higher level of martial arts, Wang Changsheng went all out to deal with Daozang

Until the end of the year, Wang Changsheng stopped slightly, without the outside world to disturb his life is very fulfilling, and the relationship with the master is getting better and better, Zhihe is also very satisfied with this little apprentice, although he is very young, but he can really calm down, practice martial arts every day without interruption, and he can grit his teeth and persist in dealing with the bitter and difficult Taoist scriptures, and he can quickly understand that this ordinary person really can't do it.

Because it is about to end in November, so they are ready to take a holiday to let the students go home to see, Zhihe personally sent Wang Changsheng to the station, Wang Aiguo personally came to pick up his son, looking at the son who has grown taller, becoming more stable, if you ignore the age, you really can't see that you are only eleven years old, say goodbye to Zhihe Dao Changsheng patted Wang Changsheng, and took the car to the provincial capital

I am going to visit Chen Tao's house by the way, and then go home for the New Year, after all, Chen Tao also came to see it a few times during Wang Changsheng's time on the mountain, this is love

Take a bus to the capital of Hubei Province, because the bedding is put on the mountain, and there is nothing to take it is easy, Wang Aiguo bought two large bags of gifts, tobacco, alcohol and nutritional products, soon, Chen Tao who received the call arrived by car, seeing Wang Aiguo take so many gifts Chen Tao felt that it was not necessary, but after all, Wang Aiguo has often socialized in business in recent years, Chen Tao can't say it at all

got into the car, and Wang Aiguo chatted with Chen Tao all the way, it seems that because of Wang Changsheng's relationship, the two families often contact each other by phone. This is also a good thing

From apprenticeship to going down the mountain on vacation, Wang Changsheng basically had no contact with other environments, and suddenly felt a little out of touch with this society, so he didn't talk much along the way, and was slowly readapting
