Containment Volume VIII, Heart of Weapons
8. The Heart of Weapons
Since he practiced "living like a year", Shaobai Weng not only has the strength ☯ of a jiazi, but also has silver hair, and has the patience of an old man. The longer he plays, the better it is for him because he learns a lot.
But in the same situation, it has a different effect on Xi Jufeng. Xi Jufeng is a young man, and he is naturally full of ambition. This can be known from the fact that he did not listen to the advice of the elders in the door, and secretly came to the appointment.
Although his strength and vision of martial arts far surpass those of Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu, he is also young and vigorous. Under the growth of the high-ranking faction, he is accustomed to competing for superiority in everything without admitting defeat.
Although there are some advantages in this way, competing with masters of equal strength will make the mistake of impatience after a long time.
The two held each other's wrists with their right hands and fought dozens of moves. From the fingers, palms, fists, to wrists, arms, elbows, even the feet do not stop. Every time, there was a roaring sound, which showed that the two of them did not give in.
Xi Jufeng found that his moves were becoming less and less advantageous. He watched his opponent go from being tired to being both offensive and defensive, and he himself had flaws in ☯ his moves that even he could see.
Taking advantage of this trend of eliminating the other's strengths, Shaobai Weng can already counterattack. But he didn't. He's still so steady on offense and defense, as if victory or defeat doesn't matter so much anymore.
To become the leader of the martial arts alliance in the true sense, Shaobai Weng still has a long way to go, and on this road, there will be many people stopping him. Some of these people who are holding him back have to be defeated ☯, and some have to be subdued, only in this way can Shaobai Weng go to the pinnacle of his body.
But at the same time, he understands that he cannot be a winner every time, and even lose many times at the hands of one person.
Shaobai Weng is not afraid of losing, what he is afraid of is the idea of "afraid of losing". Because this is a psychological disorder, it will affect his cultivation realm for the rest of his life.
At the beginning, when he competed with Xi Jufeng, Shao Baiweng did have the heart to win. But after a few rounds of offense and defense, he found that the experience he learned in this fight was more ☯ meaningful than a momentary victory.
Without the heart of victory and defeat, without the shackles of the heart, it is naturally more convenient to fight.
Seeing that Xi Jufeng had been completed, Shao Bai Weng was not in a hurry to counterattack, because he knew that the opponent still had a back move.
So far, the moves used by Xi Jufeng are only the martial arts of the Huashan Foreign School. And Xi Jufeng was transferred from the outside to the inner faction, as long as he calmed down and displayed the martial arts of the Huashan internal faction, the young white man would definitely not be pleased.
But Xi Jufeng did not calm down immediately, but became more and more anxious the more he fought, the more he fought, the more undisciplined he became, and even Shao Bai Weng felt that it was time to fight back.
But just when Shao Bai Weng was hesitating, Xi Jufeng suddenly exerted his strength, and the thumb of his right hand firmly buckled the other party's vein, and then hit Shao Bai Weng's chest.
Shaobai Weng was already planning to defend and attack, but his right hand suddenly went numb, and he suddenly couldn't make up his strength. Immediately after, I saw Xi Jufeng's head hit him.
Instinctively, he took his right hand to block.
As soon as his hand touched the top of the opponent's head, the opponent suddenly changed the forward impact to a downward pressure, raised his right foot from behind, and smashed the top of his head with his back heel in the form of a scorpion barb.
This is the characteristic "Qi" of Huashan School martial arts, you can never imagine what he will use in the next move, or false moves, or real fights. False and real, so that you are overwhelmed, in short, it is to let yourself show ☯ your flaws. This is completely opposite to the tricks that Shao Bai Weng learned in the actual gang ☯ battle, every blow must give people a fatal blow, and it is really not flashy.
Although he had never experienced such a strange move, the long-term actual combat made Shaobai Weng's reaction not slow. I saw that his left hand was pushed forward and raised, just to prevent the opponent's kick.
But at this time, he felt the pressure on his right hand loosen. Only then did Shao Bai Weng understand that the other party had used so many moves just to break free from his hands.
However, it is clear that it is clear, but it is difficult for the sour right hand to immediately grasp ☯ the other party again. At the same time, his lower abdomen was pushed down again, and the person couldn't help but take a few steps back.
When he looked at Xi Jufeng again, he was already standing against the wall calmly, and praised: "Brother Shao is so handsome, he tried his best, but he still couldn't get half a bargain." It seems that the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance this time is none other than Brother Shao. ”
Shao Bai Weng: "Brother Xi is really good at telling jokes, and I did my best, but looking at Brother Xi's calm and leisurely, I know that Brother Xi is playing casually, purely to guide the newcomers in the rivers and lakes." There are still a lot of puzzles in the weapons, and I hope that my brother will give me more advice. ”
Xi Jufeng said: "Guidance, I don't have this qualification, it's just to confirm each other, I don't know what kind of weapon Brother Shao uses?"
Shaobai Weng said: "Then please ask Brother Xi to confess in the next moment, wait for a while, and I will go back when I go." With that, Shao Bai Weng walked into the courtyard.
At this time, the aura that enveloped them had disappeared, but Bai Tieying, Lu Kun and the others outside didn't know where he was going and what he was doing. But what is certain is that he is by no means trying to escape.
Because he is so calm and relaxed, if a person really wants to escape, he can't be so calm. If a person walks away so calmly, then he is not fleeing, but simply leaving.
Shao Bai Weng is not familiar with the Lu Mansion, unlike Xi Jufeng, who has already arrived here, not only has he already understood the beginning and end of the Lu family's affairs, but also explored the terrain of the Lu Mansion.
Shaobai Weng arrived yesterday evening, before the city gates were closed.
Because I knew that there would be many candidates for the martial arts alliance here in the near future, many people from ☯ the rivers and lakes also rushed over to see everyone's demeanor. Especially those who have not yet chosen which side to support, this opportunity cannot be missed.
By the time the young white man arrived, the guest rooms in the city were already overcrowded.
In the end, after spending "a lot of silver", Shaobai Weng squeezed a room with someone in the inn opened by the Lu family.
He originally intended to be the same as Xi Jufeng thought, not to rush to the Lu family, but to understand the whole situation. But before dawn, he felt a rush to the sky.
Without alarming everyone, Shaobai Weng went to the fight and saw this lose-lose battle.
It can be said that this is the first time that Shao Bai Weng has come to the Lu family, and the first time he has seen such a big house. But at this moment, he was looking for weapons in the Lu family. If there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid it is easy to get lost.
Even if he doesn't run away, others will have such thoughts.
Therefore, even if he gets it in the end, it will be known that he has lost his way in someone else's house in the future, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes will plummet.
But Shao Bai Weng still has to take it himself, and he is very confident in taking it.
The word "three treasures" is not a new word.
Buddhism has three treasures, Taoism ☯ has three treasures, heaven has three treasures, earth has three treasures, and people also have three treasures.
The three treasures of man are essence, qi and spirit.
People are inseparable from them from birth, and people must use these three treasures in eating, drinking, walking and sleeping. And when the spirit and energy are highly concentrated, that person will undergo unexpected changes, or temperament changes, or ability improvements. Therefore, those who cultivate ☯ the Tao and practice qi are all pursuing the realm of refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning them to emptiness, and refining them in harmony with the Tao.
When the scholars were studying, when the peasants ☯ were farming, and when the workers ☯ were producing, they would all exert a trace of spirit.
Therefore, the true reader loves books as much as his life, and not only because he is a saint ☯. Farmers cherish food very much, and not only because it is the fruit of their own labor. They see it more as a part of their body ☯.
Of course, the same is true for the workers ☯.
Blacksmiths are also workers ☯.
When blacksmiths make iron tools, they are highly concentrated. If they weren't satisfied with the weapons they had built, they would rather destroy them. It's like teaching a child that if he doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn, then the man would rather lock him up in his house than go out and be embarrassed.
When a blacksmith builds a weapon with his heart, the essence will be discharged ☯ through ☯ sweat and breathing, and these essences will enter the weapon with the blacksmith's mind, and such a weapon will have its own consciousness.
These weapons are used by those who practice martial arts, and the spirit of the warriors is imbued, making them living weapons.
Even the kind of weapons that are not motivated, just want to be able to drink a pot or play two, or the kind of blacksmith who wants to support his family, will have their own consciousness.
But first, the spirit of those weapons is very weak. Second, this kind of spirituality can't resonate with martial artists at all. So these weapons have always been mortal weapons, but they still have aura. It's just that as the years wear off, these auras either dissipate or are buried.
Shao Bai Weng's practice of "Spending Days Like Years" can make the cultivator's ☯ skills ☯ improve day by day, and increase his skills ☯ by discovering the potential of the human ☯ body.
It is said that the human ☯ body is like a treasure trove with unlimited potential.
Yes, the human ☯ body is indeed a big treasure trove, but its potential is limited, but this treasure trove is extremely deep and there are many treasures.
Therefore, the vast majority of people spend their entire lives taking out only a little treasure from the treasure house, but this treasure house is still limited.
"Spending Days Like Years" is not only a peerless miracle, but also a key and a transportation machine. It will open the treasure house in Shaobai Weng's body ☯ and continuously transport the latent energy in it.
The potential in the human ☯ body ☯ should be continuously developed with the growth of the body ☯ and the improvement of the realm.
But like the young white man, it is like the time used in the future now, and it will continue to decrease in the future.
Although Shaobai Weng exchanged his life for ability, he did not regret it at all. Ambition is not in the old age, and there is no ambition to live for a hundred years. Shaobai Weng didn't want to live his life like this, so he would rather condense his life and explode in an instant.
Twenty years old, thirty years old, forty years old, forty years old, fifty years old, sixty years old ☯.
It can be said that Shaobai Weng is worth it in this life.
Although Shao Bai Weng is now twenty years old, his mind is as clear as that of a sixty-year-old wise man.
When the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of the same year were confused by the five colors, five sounds, and five flavors, and were lost in the galloping safari, Shao Bai Weng used his soul to feel those things that seem to be nothing, difficult to express, and mysterious and mysterious, and what we call things - life.
Life is not only those living creatures, but also flowers and plants. Life is not only a living thing that people know, but also some dead things that are commonly believed to be alive.
Some people who pursue spiritual practice all year round can feel such a life, and they have a better name - spirituality.
Spirituality is the incomplete life possessed by these dead things.
When their lives are complete, their bearers will be able to talk to them.
The weapons of the Lu Mansion have their spirituality, but ordinary people can't feel it. But Shao Bai Weng is different, he has sixty years of cultivation.
Cultivation not only refers to martial arts, but also includes 60 years of true power and 60 years of spiritual cultivation.
So he felt that the weapons in the Lu Mansion were breathing.
The weapons bought by the Lu family are of course the best in the city, and the people who build these weapons are not the kind of blacksmiths who do not seek to improve or just to support their families. The weapons created by these blacksmiths are naturally not for them to be ornamental, but also to hope that someone can pick him up, use him, and appreciate him.
With this in mind, these weapons were made ☯, and they also carried the wish of the blacksmiths to use them by those who were able.
But they were disappointed, the Lu family's grandchildren had their own famous weapons, and the others were some unpopular martial artists.
The weapons were disappointed, and then fell into a deep sleep, becoming truly dead.
It was only recently that this series of fights between masters knocked on their doors and windows like friends.
Especially just now, the two great battles between Li Gui and Diao San, Shaobai Weng and Xi Jufeng, from the outside to the inside, from the body ☯ to the spirit, were like spring thunder exploding, waking ☯ up all these weapons. They felt the strong fighting spirit of these people, and at the same time, Shao Bai Weng also felt their strong desire and thirst.
Hungry for a fight, thirsty for a fight.
Even if they are crushed ☯ ☯ ☯ in just one use, they want to shine as brightly as possible in the hands of the masters.
This is very similar to Shaobai Weng, in order to prove himself and find the greatest value of his life, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his life. The same heart, the same resonance, so Shao Bai Weng decided to satisfy them.
When he turned around to get the weapon, Shao Bai Weng suddenly changed, to be precise, the Shao Bai Weng in the eyes of everyone changed.
But not everyone has the same change in their eyes.
In the seriousness of Lu Kun and Bai Tieying, Shaobai Weng became extremely powerful, so powerful that he was invincible, he was a god.
There's no reason for that.
But for his opponent, Xi Jufeng, the feeling is clearer and more definite. He felt that Shao Bai Weng had become unusually tall, and the houses around him were under his feet, and the heavens and the earth could no longer accommodate him. His figure became clear, as if even the light was just his foil.
In an instant, Xi Jufeng understood, and he immediately gathered his mind.
Shaobai Weng is no longer so tall and dazzling. He's still him, the young white man who is looking for weapons.
Xi Jufeng understands that this is the realm that can only be achieved by integrating spirit and spirit.
If it is said that the condensation of qi is to express the spirit and spirit ☯ that are integrated into one through visual and audible methods, then Shao Bai Weng has just become tall, which is manifested on the spiritual level.
But no matter what kind of expression method it is, it must have strong strength, profound cultivation, and firm belief. Each of these items is not easy to come by, so according to legend, those who can reach this in the martial arts are only the four saints ☯.
But today, in the Lu family in Qingzhou, there are four people who have reached the form of gathering gas.
Moreover, none of the four of them are one of the saints ☯, so it can be seen how many masters will be attracted by the election ☯ of the leader of the martial arts alliance this time.
Seeing that Shaobai Weng had this ability, Xi Jufeng was excited ☯.
He used to look up to him on the mountain, and his peers admired him.
And the elders have been teaching ☯ him constantly, although he bowed his head and listened without saying a word. But in reality, he knew that these people were no longer his opponents.
On the one hand, he thanked everyone for their kindness to him, and on the other hand, he left everyone far behind.
Today, he can finally fight without burden, and fight happily......
