Chapter 3 Soft Power, Hard Power
"Alas, brother, you are also 17 years old, the boss is not a small person, you have to lay a good foundation for practicing martial arts from an early age, your meridians are closed, you have no internal strength, and all martial arts have been forgotten because of amnesia, what else do you learn, can't you inherit the ancestral business well?"
"No, God finally gave me such a chance, how can I live a rotten life. ”
"That's it, let it be, Xiao, this is the Taiping Guan's internal strength and mental method, the Taiping Sutra, you will first practice according to the above content, you practiced at the age of 5, and you are now 17 years old, the hard work can be imagined, and you are now equivalent to wasting 12 years, if you want me to say, you don't want to go to the Five Lotus Trial, most of the people who participated in this are four to five grades, with the strength of the peak of the six grades in the past, naturally win the leader, but now I am afraid that it is difficult to beat a product. Huo Xingwen's eyes darkened a little, and he threw Huo Yi a book.
It turns out that this is the Taiping Sutra, this is the first martial arts book I have seen in my life, and I have to cherish it. Huo Yi thought silently in his heart, and put the Taiping Sutra in his arms, for fear of losing.
"By the way, Xingwen, what is this Five Lotus Trial?"
"The so-called Five Lotus Trial, is the Taipingguan every five years held a ceremony, if you can enter the top three among the disciples, you can choose one in the Taipingguan Library, and you must know that the Taipingguan's Library Pavilion is a collection of the world's treasures, can enter the Library, choose a book to practice is how many people dream and seek, but unfortunately the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, now I am afraid it is difficult to do, the time is seven days later. ”
"I'll go. Huo Yi's eyes seemed to have a lot of stars, "When the time comes, take one step at a time, I believe that there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain." We come barefoot and never come home empty-handed. Even if I can't get far, I'm on my way. ”
"Yiyi, we're back. A beautiful voice came from outside the door. Dressed in a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, wearing a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil, if the shoulders are cut into a waist, if the skin is condensed, the air is like a quiet orchid. If it weren't for the coiled hair, Huo Yi would have thought it was a young girl when he looked at it from afar. The beautiful woman pinched Huo Yi's faces on both sides, "Are you well-behaved today, have you eaten, have you practiced?"
"Mother, the second brother is not a child anymore, you are still like this all day long, are you ashamed. Huo Xingwen smiled helplessly, "The second brother has lost his memory now, and his martial arts have been wasted." ”
"What?" Huo Zhongguo and the beautiful woman said in unison, after Huo Xingwen's words, he could be regarded as knowing the general idea of the matter, and once again showing his strength in front of the world for the Five Lotus Trial, he was eager for quick success and quick profit, and forcibly improved his cultivation, which led to going mad.
Huo Zhongguo nodded, his face did not change any extent, as the secretary of the Great Qi Military Department, the strong man on the ground list, he was already calm, as if nothing happened would make him despair. Different from Huo Xingwen and Huo Yi, Huo Zhongguo's whole body exudes a kind of coldness, not handsome, or even ugly, but it is important to have a magnificent figure, bronzed complexion, and the man's blood and qi are just vividly displayed on his body, although the appearance is cold, it gives everyone a sense of security. For this reason, Huo Yi also patted his chest, fortunately he looked like his mother, otherwise he would lose a big advantage.
"Yi'er, do you still want to learn martial arts?"
"Yes, father, the child has decided to re-engage with martial arts from today onwards. ”
"Well, being a father is afraid that you will not be reluctant to honor the past, now that your martial arts are lost, if it is known by the world, your father's status in the court will be weakened, and I am afraid that there will be bad people who will mistreat you, so it is best not to reveal it to the outside world before the Wulian trial. Huo Zhongguo's eyes were ruthless, but full of love.
Huo Zhongguo's eyes made Huo Yi's heart soften, this kind of look has not been seen for a long time, nostalgic, when he was young, his father did something wrong Although his father was fierce but with doting eyes, Huo Yi recalled his childhood, and the happiness at that time has become an unattainable past.
"Don't worry, I'll protect myself. Huo Yi knows how eager he is to become strong, in this world of force and power, as a man, who doesn't want to experience the feeling of dominating the world, and will be at the top of the mountain. The world in the previous life may not be fair, but in this world, everything should be different, there should be no such cunning and intrigue. But his father's words just now made Huo Yi's heart tremble, could it be that people's hearts will never change, and they are only full of interests and desires.
"Then from now on, you let Yun'er always follow and protect you. ”
"Yun'er, just kidding, how can I, a big man, need a woman's protection?" How could a strong sense of self-esteem make Huo Yi a person with a strong machismo be this kind of soft rice eater.
"Second young master, don't look down on Yun'er, Yun'er is still a fourth-grade. Ji Fengyun clenched his delicate little fist tightly, full of desire to survive.
"Is Sipin??Strong?"
"Of course. Huo Xingwen suddenly interjected, "Look at a person with outstanding talent like me, who has only been at the peak of the fourth grade for so many years, and is not a pervert like you who is a martial arts wizard who cultivates every day, so a person like Yun'er who practices martial arts for 1 hour a day and can reach the fourth grade at a young age, whether it is hard power or soft power, has already crushed most martial artists." ”
"Hey, what is soft power, what is hard power. With a strong desire to learn, Huo Yi naturally asked if he didn't understand.
"Then I'll tell you about it, the so-called hard power, that is, internal force, and the cultivation speed of internal force often depends on martial arts talent and cultivation of the mind to change, like your Taiping Sutra, even if it is a relatively good mental method, although it is not as good as the exercises of those legendary sects, but it is also extremely high, so the internal force can also be made up for by long-term cultivation, even if the cultivation speed is lower than that of the other side, but if the talent is about the same, the long-term cultivation will be stronger than the other side. The so-called grade is about the internal force, the gap between each product is not small, there will be a bottleneck, break through the bottleneck, the internal force will rise a big hurdle. Soft power, is those more advanced martial arts cheats, what palm skills, marksmanship, swordsmanship, the stronger the martial arts cheats to our higher bonus, but when fighting, it is often the hard power of the people who are stronger, because the gap in internal force can not only be made up through profound martial arts, but there is also no shortage of geniuses who can practice martial arts cheats to an extremely advanced realm, and can be challenged by soft power, like the second brother is this kind of genius. ”
"Stop, stop licking, I almost know, it turns out that the martial arts of this heroic world are so complicated, it seems that I have to work harder, even if life speaks badly to me, I will always treat it as gentle as ever." With that, he turned and walked to his bedroom, leaving only one sentence, "You don't have to worry about me, even if I'm gone, I'll try to get back what I lost." ”
