Volume 1 Donglin Minxue Chapter 5 Eight Learnings of National Martial Arts
On the morning of the third day of school, classes are not held in the teaching house. It's in a huge square. The master who taught the class was an old man in his sixties, and he only knew his surname Lian, and the students called him Lian Laozi, and they heard other masters generally call him Lian Lao. There was a wooden figure beside the master, and the wooden figure was painted with many dots and lines, and it was also written in dense red letters.
This is a real lesson in teaching martial arts, and Dugu Nirvana is very excited!
According to their height, the students were arranged to stand in four rows, with 21 people in each row, all facing and listening to Master Lian's speech.
"Today is the first lesson of your practice of "martial arts"! Your task in the past three years at the Donglin Minxue School is to make a solid study of the eight national martial arts! These eight national martial arts are eight sets of martial arts! They are: Zhongwu sword, filial piety sword, benevolent martial stick, righteous martial leg, Zhiwu step, Yongwu fist, holding martial strength, and Yue Wu step. ”
After saying this, there was another whisper, and Dugu Ni seemed to hear a classmate say, what is there to learn.
"You, you, you!" "Master Lian glared and ordered the three boys who had just spoken to come out.
"You should know the rules of the academy on the first day! When the master speaks, how can you speak below!"
The three boys didn't look scared, and walked up to Master Lian!
"What's your name!" said Lian Fuzi glared at the first student.
"My name is Shen Hai!" Lian Fuzi moved his gaze to the second student, "My name is Fan Wang!" The third student also said, "My name is Bu Yue!"
"Okay, you three, stand side, Zamabu, a moment!"
"Ah, for a moment, how is it possible?" said the student, Shen Hai, dissatisfied. The strange thing is that even the master did not beat anyone, but said to him: "If you don't obey the master's management, the old man can let you drop out of school immediately, boy, don't think that your Shen family is famous and famous, and you are rampant here! If you are expelled from the school, you will lose the face of your family! And you two, why are you stunned!"
Reluctantly, the three of them walked to the side and set up their horses.
Lian Fuzi then said to the students: "I know that some of you look down on these eight sets of martial arts! I think that maybe the kung fu passed down by your own family or the kung fu of your sect is more profound than these martial arts! But the eight sets of martial arts are the martial arts handed down by the Tianwu Sect, the first sect in the world, that is, the current royal family! These eight sets of martial arts are also similar to the Tianwu Sect's town martial arts Tianwu Sect in those days. The patriarch of the Imperial City Martial Arts Academy, any one of them, can be invincible in the rivers and lakes with these eight sets of martial arts alone!"
Although the Yanwu Academy in the imperial city is the power of the imperial court, not the Jianghu sect, there are many famous people in the rivers and lakes who want to enter the Yanwu Academy after becoming famous. Although there are hundreds of schools of thought contending with various forces in the rivers and lakes, the Martial Arts Academy can be said to be a holy place in the minds of those who practice martial arts! Even when the master said this, the students put away their contempt. Even Shen Hai, Fan Wang, and Bu Yue were all shocked.
The first word of each of these eight sets of martial arts is exactly the eight words that a martial artist should unremittingly pursue: It is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and courage! These eight characters are also the names of the Eight Great Generals' Mansions under the Tianwu General's Mansion! Any set of superior martial arts is composed of mental methods, moves, and artistic conceptions. Ordinary people attach importance to the mental method and moves, but only by truly understanding the true meaning of a set of martial arts can they gain more different understandings, obtain their samadhi, and cultivate to a higher level!
"These eight sets of martial arts, each with ten layers. The first three layers are simple, the further back they go, the more difficult it is to improve, after cultivating to the seventh layer, the power is not the same, once the cultivation reaches the tenth layer, it can be regarded as the world's first-class martial arts! As far as I know, many of the elders in the Martial Arts Academy have all cultivated to the tenth layer!"
"Master, I, I have only cultivated martial arts to the sixth level! Maybe you will still practice other martial arts in the future, and no longer focus on these eight sets of martial arts that are easy to learn and difficult to master, but these eight sets of martial arts can enable you to use the fastest and easiest way to master martial arts, and they will play a role in laying a solid foundation for cultivating any other martial arts in the future!
"Got it!" all the students replied in unison.
"Okay, the first thing you have to learn today is to know your own body, the meridians and acupuncture points! The meridians refer to the pathways through which qi and blood flow in the human body. It can be divided into two categories: canonical and odd canon. There are 12 canons, namely: Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Pericardial Meridian, Foot Yin Liver Meridian, Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Hand Sun Small Intestine Meridian, Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gall Meridian, Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridian. There are eight Qi Sutras, namely, Du, Ren, Chong, Dai, Yin Stilts, Yang Stilts, Yin Dimension, and Yang Dimension, which are collectively called the Eight Veins of Qi Jing! There are 720 acupuncture points, of which 100 and 8 are vital points, and among the vital points, there are 36 deadly acupoints......
Although Dugu Ni probably heard Qu Liu talk about it, this master spoke quickly, and he felt dizzy for a while, but he didn't dare to interject to ask, and his heart was flustered. But I heard Master Lian say: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember these acupuncture points for a while, this wooden figure has instructions on it, and after you become literate, you can observe and remember it from time to time." ”
Hearing this, Dugu Nie breathed a sigh of relief! He was already determined to cultivate martial arts, but he didn't want to learn anything in a daze.
After Mr. Lian finished talking about the meridians and acupuncture points, he began to teach the internal strength of the eight studies of holding the country's martial arts-holding martial arts. Dugu Nirvana had heard some from Uncle Jiu before, but he had never perceived his own yin and yang qi, and it was also said that it was called internal force or internal strength, and it was impossible to talk about the operation of mobilizing yin and yang, so he listened attentively to Master Lian's explanation and demonstration.
After a lesson, the theory was more deeply understood, but the problem was still stuck in the original place: I can't perceive it!
So after class, Dugu Ni ran impatiently to Master Lian and asked.
Master Lian was very patient, and after inspecting Dugu Nirvana's situation, he said: "The two qi of yin and yang in your body exist, and you can't perceive it, it should be because you don't meditate deeply enough, and your inner vision is not clear enough, which is also related to people's understanding." However, diligence can make up for shortcomings, as long as you can persevere, you will be able to perceive it one day. It's okay if you don't find the trick for a while, and the cultivation of the other seven sets of martial arts is not delayed, but it is only slightly inferior in power!"
Dugu Nie thanked Master Lian and went to the cafeteria stupidly.
The afternoon class is "Knowledge", and the main teaching is literacy, but also some general knowledge. Although Dugu Nirvana was a little disappointed because he had not yet found the trick to cultivate because of his martial strength, he still completed his schoolwork seriously.
Running all the way home, I found my uncle and asked.
"Uncle, I listened to the master's explanation, and according to what he said, I still can't perceive the yin and yang qi, and I can't mobilize them, what can I do?"
Qu Liu was also quite helpless, after all, Qu Liu was not a roundworm in Dugu Nirvana's stomach, how could he guess it. It can only be said that this is a matter of understanding, and it may take some time.
After dinner, Dugu Ni went out to find Wang Xiao and Jing Hu, and they had a lot of fun on weekdays, but today Dugu Ni was a little depressed. In addition, Wang Xiao has learned more moves than yesterday, and he can't beat it. I felt even more depressed in my heart.
No, you have to find a way!
Dugu Nirvana made up his mind, returned home, and did not wash, returned to the room, closed the door, and began to meditate.
Calming down, Dugu Ni carefully felt her breathing, and unconsciously used the pranayama method taught by her uncle to absorb the aura of heaven and earth. Over the past year or so, Dugu Nirvana has absorbed the aura of heaven and earth from time to time, but he has some experience. Unlike the two qi of yin and yang, which originally existed in the human body, the aura of heaven and earth entered the heart and lungs of the person with the breath. Pranayama is to sink its qi into the dantian and compress the aura.
Dugu Nirvana doesn't know, in fact, there are many ways to cultivate immortals. What Qu Liu's cultivation is the secret of forgetfulness. At present, the way of cultivating immortals known in the East Kingdom also includes the Forgetting the Dust Formula, the Anti-Pu Formula, the Danxin Formula, the Pure Heart and Calming Qi Formula, the Longevity Formula, the Heavenly Formula, and so on.
However, these different cultivation methods have the same division of realms.
The first realm is to observe qi. It is to be able to perceive the aura of heaven and earth, and to be able to interact with the aura of heaven and earth, that is, the current realm of Dugu Nirvana.
The second realm, condensation, is to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the dantian and become a droplet-shaped, which has a certain degree of difficulty. Many people who cultivate the Immortal Dao have been cultivating for several years, but they still can't do it. Of course, this water droplet does not really exist in the body, but needs to be seen by the cultivator to perceive its existence.
The third realm, the sea of qi, is to condense the aura of heaven and earth into water droplets and then gather into a sea, which can be imagined that it is indeed not an overnight thing. The sea of qi is divided into the initial realm, small success, great success, and peak. At the beginning of the Qi Sea, the Qi Sea can only perceive the size of the spring. If the sea of qi is small, it is the size of a pond. The air sea is the size of a lake. The pinnacle of the sea of qi is like the sea.
Qu Liu, he stayed in the first realm of the sea of qi.
When you reach the realm of the sea of qi, you can use the immortal method, and this sea of qi is the source of the power of the immortal law. The bigger the sea of qi, the more reserves of aura will be!
The fourth realm, incarnation, is the ability to perceive the sea of qi and give birth to life. It is also divided into the initial realm, small success, large success, and peak.
The fifth realm, unity, that is the legendary realm, it is said that when you reach this realm, you will experience a catastrophe, once you pass, you can fly to the fairy world, as for what kind of existence the fairy world is, no one knows.
And Dugu Nirvana is now, but he doesn't know that he is in the realm of observing qi, this realm is nothing more than refining the body, and there is not much other effect.
But he unconsciously dispersed the compressed aura in the dantian into his limbs and hundreds of bones to perceive the yin and yang qi in his body.
Suddenly, the aura was in the meridians, as if sensing two intertwined forces, one strong and one weak, could this be the yin and yang qi that Uncle Nine said?
Dugu Nie was overjoyed, so he wrapped these two forces with aura, trying to urge, but this attempt, but immediately woke up Dugu Nie in pain!
