Chapter 53: The Development and History of Martial Arts (7,000 Words)

"The next realm of the Tongmai Realm is called the Refining True Realm, and the so-called refining the true is the condensation of the true element. After the martial artist has reached the perfection of the meridians and opened up the twelve meridians and the eight meridians of the strange meridians in the body, the internal force can already reach the whole body with the meridians. At this point, to a certain extent, it can already be said that the internal qi has reached perfection, and in this case, if you want to go further, you need to sublimate the internal force to turn it into a true element, so that you can open a new chapter in your own evolution. ”

"And it is not easy for a martial artist to break through to refining the truth, if the martial artist in the Tongmai realm is the most important and most martial arts realm in the rivers and lakes, eight or nine out of ten martial artists on the rivers and lakes are fighting in this realm. Whether it is a ninth-rate martial artist who has a meridian, or a top master who has all the meridians all over his body, they are just martial artists. And the realm of refining the truth, it is enough to be called a martial arts master and a martial arts master, because the breakthrough at this stage can be called difficult. ”

"In fact, in the way of martial arts, it is not easy to break through at every major stage, and it naturally makes sense for the martial arts to divide the realm of Pei Yuan to concentrate on the spirit and nourish the qi and veins. But seriously speaking, the previous Peiyuan Condensation Realm is only the realm of martial arts foundation, as long as there are enough resources and willing to work hard, then almost everyone can achieve it. Next, the cultivation of qi based on internal strength, and the two realms of the pulse are the true beginning of the way of martial arts. Only after the martial artist reaches the realm of qi cultivation can he see his talent endowment and hard work, so although the achievements shown in the Peiyuan Condensing Realm can also make people's eyes shine, the real gate sect still looks at the qualifications on the cultivation of internal strength. ”

Speaking of this, the girl looked at Mo Chen with wonderful eyes and said:

"No matter what methods you use, you can cross a great realm in the Concentrating Realm, although the performance can be called unprecedented, but if you are arrogant, you may not be able to be better than me in the future!" said and blinked one eye mischievously and stuck out his little tongue before turning his head and continuing to explain to Mo Chen.

Mo Chen was listening intently to Jin Lingxi's explanation of the secrets of martial arts, when he suddenly heard her say such a sentence, and his heart was suddenly shocked. Mo Chen was not surprised that he would be investigated by the Golden Scale Gang, and it was estimated that when Mo Chen accidentally came into contact with the girl Jin Lingxi for the first time, he had already been thoroughly investigated. After more than half a month, I met the girl again, especially in the past two nights, the middle-aged guard who did things delicately beside the girl would be relieved? Especially when Mo Chen later found out that this Uncle Hong actually had the ability to never forget, and his style of action seemed to be specialized in intelligence work, he must have investigated Mo Chen inside and out during this time, and he carefully investigated it, maybe even Mo Chen's eight relatives who didn't know about him were found out.

And when Mo Chen killed the Qi Cultivation Realm master alone, there were so many people watching, and he couldn't hide it at all. And Mo Chen also wanted to take advantage of this to show his potential and increase the weight for the things that might be selected for the Shouxu Palace in the future, and he didn't hide it at all, so it was known that Mo Chen had expected this, even if Uncle Hong, who was beside him, suddenly mentioned this matter Mo Chen was not surprised. Mo Chen was surprised that the girl also knew about this, which means that the girl may have also looked through Mo Chen's information? I don't know if the girl's father or Uncle Hong deliberately told the girl, or the girl Jin Lingxi herself asked curiously.

It doesn't hurt for the girl to know these things, Mo Chen's life experience is already clear, and his experience after coming to this world can also stand up to verification. There is only one thing that Mo Chen doesn't want the girl to know, that is, Mo Chen was 'coerced' by Jing Yu to go to Baihualou before, and Mo Chen was a little weak about this matter at this time.

Of course, Mo Chen didn't care about this kind of thing before, but now...... Mo Chen secretly glanced at the hand he was holding with the girl, and then peeked at the girl's face...... Well, everything is normal, I think Uncle Hong or the girl's father didn't care about this kind of thing, after all, he was 'coerced', well, it's 'coercion'. And Mo Chen didn't have any thoughts about the girl before, the two just happened to know each other, as for today's situation...... It all developed naturally, and Mo Chen himself felt unexpected.

Since Mo Chen is only now so close to the girl, what Mo Chen did before has little to do with it now, it is understandable, it is understandable~ Ah, hahahaha.

Mo Chen comforted himself in his heart, and at the same time skimmed the girl beside him with a weak heart. With Mo Chen's powerful spiritual cultivation, all this mental activity only happened in a moment, and the girl who didn't know anything about it was just about to open her mouth to continue the previous explanation:

"If you want to enter the realm of refining the true essence and condense the true element, not only the internal cultivation is to achieve the state of perfection, but more importantly, you must thoroughly understand the transformation of the yin and yang elements in the human body, so that the internal force can be completely integrated into the human body, which can be regarded as having the conditions for condensing the true element. This previous step of internal cultivation has already stumped most people in the world, but the latter step of understanding the five elements of yin and yang in the body is the main obstacle that prevents the martial artist from climbing upward. ”

"The so-called outside world is day by day, and the human body is day by day. The human body is inherently complex and contains countless secrets, and people's understanding of the human body at present is not even a drop in the eye. It is absolutely as difficult to thoroughly understand all the secrets of the human body as it is to understand all the secrets of heaven and earth, and it is basically impossible for anyone. ”

"Fortunately, if you want to condense the true element, you only need to understand the changes in the five elements of yin and yang in your body. This has reduced the difficulty countless times, and it has only made the realm of refining true accessible to others, but even so, it requires talent, understanding, perseverance, and chance. After the warrior has really completed this step and realized the rules of the five elements of yin and yang in the human body, what he needs to do is to change the frequency of his internal force and make the internal force merge into the human body. In this step, the martial artist needs to spend countless painstaking efforts, polishing the internal qi little by little, the nature of pure internal strength, until the internal qi is worn out and only a little essence remains, and then the next step of the progress of merging with the human body can begin.

Because no matter what kind of exercises you have practiced before, even if it is an extremely cold ice qigong, or an extremely hot yang and flame internal force, or maybe it is poisonous gong and other internal exercises of strange nature, in fact, the essence is not only what internal gong manifests, there is only one nature, but there are five elements of yin and yang contained in it. After all, the five elements of yin and yang are the foundation of existence, and only after polishing the essence of the last point of internal strength, can we completely fit the frequency of the five elements of yin and yang of the human body, and condense the true element in the body. And those who can do this step have extremely profound experience and insight in martial arts, and they also have extraordinary insights into their comprehension of martial arts. Moreover, his own talent and the hard progress of his cultivation are far beyond ordinary people. Everyone who can enter the realm of refining the truth is actually able to create a set of internal strength and mental methods, so this kind of person will be called the Martial Arts Craftsman Sect, a generation of masters. Speaking of which, even with a quirky girl like Jin Lingxi, she couldn't help but show a trace of admiration for her senior grandmaster.

While listening to the girl's straightforward narration, Mo Chen imagined in his mind the various difficulties on the road to enter the realm of refining truth, and at this time, he was also in a mood, and couldn't help but say:

"It is so unimaginably difficult to reach the realm of refining truth, I really don't know what kind of amazing and brilliant person was the first to open up this kind of path. ”

Speaking of which, this man is very famous, not only among the warriors, but also left a heavy mark in history, and even ordinary people cannot avoid him no matter what kind of history they are discussing. Jin Lingxi replied.

"Oh, it can go down in history, so that ordinary people can also know, who is it?" Mo Chen was even more surprised when he heard this. You must know that the people who can engrave traces in history have all made important contributions to the development of society and the progress of mankind, and those who can make such contributions are all people in the court who control huge powers, or emperors, or people with great official positions who can make decisions on new policies. And with the delicate relationship between the imperial court and the martial arts, Mo Chen really couldn't imagine that anyone could go down in history as a martial arts pioneer.

"Hehe, can't you think of it? Actually, it's not strange at all! Do you know what the first dynasty in the world is called" Jin Lingxi finished asking, and without waiting for Mo Chen to answer, he asked and answered to himself:

"Wu, the first dynasty was the Wu Dynasty organized by all the sects in the world at that time. Most of the people in the world who can go down in history are civil officials who have caused various changes in the world and held important positions in the imperial court. And the impression of the imperial court is mostly that of the current Great Chen Dynasty, with civil officials as the main body to rule the world, and the warriors have always been dedicated to killing on the battlefield and maintaining the rule of the dynasty. ”

Mo Chen was silent, but when he thought about it, it was like this. Although Mo Chen's predecessor had studied in the academy for a period of time and had heard of the history of the beginning of the dynasty, he was not very impressed. The gentleman who lectures often also says a word, as if it is just a piece of background, and there is not much record left. Now that I think about it, this may be a conscious act of the rulers of the past dynasties, after all, there are more ordinary people in this world, and what is the benefit of publicizing the history of warriors ruling the world for the court itself?

So Mo Chen didn't interject, and listened to Jin Lingxi quietly tell another piece of history that was circulated in the rivers and lakes, from a different perspective:

"There is no evidence as to what exactly the martial arts began to appear, but it is known that it is much older than the original dynasty, after all, the dynasty has always ruled the land alone before the various sects. And at the beginning of martial arts, it was not as it is now to divide the realm by cultivating the spirit and cultivating qi and veins. This kind of realm division really appeared after the birth of the world's first dynasty, the 'Wu Dynasty'.

Before King Shenwu connected all the forces in the world to form a dynasty, the exercises for cultivating martial arts in the world were complicated, and they were not like the current step-by-step process from Pei Yuan concentrating to cultivating qi and passing pulses, but according to the exercises they practiced, they had different names. And these exercises are different, there are those who directly practice qi, some who only practice the body, and those who purely refine the gods, the martial arts of various sects and sects are not only complicated and disorderly, but also the power is not equal, the realm is unknown, whose martial arts are higher, the realm is stronger, and there is no way to know if you don't try it yourself. ”

"Later, King Shenwu united all the sects to form the first dynasty in the world, which not only unified all the resources in the world, but also integrated the advantages of all kinds of exercises, and created the division of martial arts cultivation methods and realms that have been handed down to the present. That is, the current Pei Yuan condenses the spirit and nourishes the qi through a series of gradually improved paths, and the Shenwu King is also a true pioneer and a pioneer of martial arts in history. ”

"Before King Shenwu, the various martial arts that were circulating in the world not only had all kinds of requirements and taboos when cultivating, but also the progress of cultivation was slow, and the power was not necessarily high. Most of them tend to only focus on one of the essence and spirit, although the powerful martial arts are very strong, but they all have their own extremely fatal flaws, some martial arts can even be practiced, and some people practice and die inexplicably. At that time, the warriors often did not know the reason, and could only rely on the experience of their ancestors with the various blood experiences they had groped out by themselves, and moved forward step by step. And before the martial arts reach a certain point, you have to stop and improve your lack in other aspects in various ways. ”

"And the Shenwu King who lived in that era was extremely talented and talented, and before the formation of the dynasty, he discovered all kinds of flaws in the martial arts at that time. And with great perseverance and great painstaking efforts, he tried to create an effective solution, which is why he was able to persuade everyone to put aside their previous grievances and form a dynasty together. After all, in that era, the sects fought fiercely against each other because of interests or other frictions, and there was often a deep hatred and blood hatred between neighboring forces for several generations.

"After the completion of the Great Martial Dynasty, King Shenwu and all the masters of the world really succeeded in creating the cultivation system that appeared, and at the same time involved the three treasures of essence and energy, there were no defects, and the qi was the mainstay, and the power between the battles was endless. At that time, all the masters who had transformed their cultivation into this cultivation system felt a huge increase in their strength. And with the ascension of the martial arts realm divided by this system, the entry into the realm is much faster than all other exercises. Then the Shenwu King sublimated the internal force into the true element, and truly reached the extreme of qi, only with the powerful and sharp nature of the true element, it was easy to sharpen iron like mud, and the true yuan could be released up to ten zhang away. The power displayed in the Refining Realm can be said to have completely shocked everyone, completely laying the foundation for this martial arts system to be passed on for eternity. ”

"So after this set of cultivation realms came out, everyone gave up the original various imperfect cultivation methods, and instead practiced this set of supporting exercises with several kinds of exercises such as 'Peiyuan Piles', 'Concentrating Diagrams', 'Qi Cultivation Techniques', and 'Tongmai Gong'. All kinds of exercises in later generations were slowly developed and sublimated on this basis. ”

"But then the problem arises, in the past, different sects were distinguished by different martial arts as the core, even if a joint dynasty was formed, it was also their own thing, and the king's decision could not be decided in a word, but it had to be discussed with the heads of all forces, and an agreement could only be implemented, and even if only one person objected, the new policy could only be implemented elsewhere, but it would not work in the sphere of influence of the opponents. Now that everyone has practiced the same exercises, if the exercises are not distinguished from each other, then how can they distinguish between them? If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the forces in each possession will merge into one, and there will be no difference anymore. As the head of each sect is the master of one party, I am afraid that the rights of the head of each faction will be completely deprived of the Shenwu King who is now sitting on the throne, how can this be done? So the riot broke out, and the forces of the various sects and factions united to kill the Shenwu King, split the United Dynasty, and each of them held on to the same place, slowly digesting the new cultivation system, and turning it into a martial art with its own characteristics. In this way, the first dynasty in history came to an end. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Lingxi, who was infected by the story he told, let out a long breath of depression in his heart, and said sullenly:

"These contents were told to me by my father, and I relayed them to you like this, I have never understood why King Shenwu has done such a great thing, and these people still do this. Can you men really be so bad for the sake of power?" said Jin Lingxi turned around and stared at Mo Chen directly, wanting to see if Mo Chen was also such a 'bad person'.

"Power is like a floating cloud to me, and in my heart, I can't even compare to one ten-thousandth of yours. Mo Chen was stared at by the girl's eyes, and quickly did not hesitate, looked at the girl with a serious face, and promised.

"Really?" the girl looked hesitant, her eyes widened with her eyes, her expression tense, trying to find the element of lying in Mo Chen's eyes.

"Really!" Mo Chen's tone was firm and unwavering.

The girl curled her lips and narrowed her eyes into crooked crescents. Mo Chen also found out at this time that the girl smiled and had two charming dimples on her face, which was very cute.

Being looked at by Mo Chen's eyes without blinking, the girl's face flushed slightly red, she turned around and took two steps forward, and Mo Chen, who was holding the girl, also followed.

It wasn't until the girl turned her head that Mo Chen flashed his eyes and sighed in his heart: Although power is really like a floating cloud to me, martial arts is not the same for me. For a while, Mo Chen felt a great sense of guilt for the girl in his heart.

The girl who turned around and pulled Mo Chen in front didn't notice this, and continued to tell Mo Chen the history of martial arts she heard from her father in a good mood:

"After the death of King Shenwu, each sect digested the new martial arts system and created a variety of martial arts with its own characteristics before it had another action. After tasting the benefits of the dynasty ruling the world and being able to implement unified control and distribution of the world's resources, various sects began to cooperate with each other and re-establish the dynasty, and in this way, the world entered the era of dynastic hegemony. Until the emergence of another figure who had an important impetus for the development of martial arts, the 'Holy Emperor'. ”

"Before the appearance of the Holy Emperor, after so many years of development, the martial arts were still stagnant in the True Yuan stage of the True Refining Realm. Since the characteristics of internal qi are the integration of essence and spirit, as long as the internal qi or true yuan continues to grow, then the person's physique and spirit will continue to increase, and even if he enters the realm of refining the true qi, as long as the martial artist exercises and cultivates, he can continue to grow the true yuan, and there will never be a bottleneck. As a result, everyone thought that the realm of refining the true essence that gathered the inner qi of the essence and sublimated the true yuan was the apex of the martial arts. ”

"However, the Holy Emperor broke this apex and led to another substantial increase in the upper limit of the martial arts. He not only developed the realm of true body and true god on the basis of true yuan, but also broke through the stage of refining truth and brought martial arts to the top of the Zhou Tian realm. ”

"It is said that the Holy Emperor likes to explore the essence of martial arts from the beginning of his martial arts, and later he was not satisfied after condensing the true yuan, thinking that there is still a realm on it, and then he really explored the way forward. ”

"The Holy Emperor believes that although the True Yuan contains the Three Treasures of Essence, Qi and Spirit, and the improvement of the True Yuan can also lead to the improvement of the body and spirit, in the final analysis, the True Yuan is just the culmination of the Qi Dao. He proposed that martial arts was the realm of self-cultivation at the beginning, starting from the physical aspect to lay the foundation for the future, so if you want to go further, you must also start from the physical aspect. The foundation of the apex of martial arts is the internal qi, and the foundation of the internal qi begins with the dantian life, that is, the lower dantian, where is the intersection of yin and yang, and the convergence of qi and sea, so after opening up, it can be born, accommodated, and cultivated internal force, so after the middle dantian of the root of qi and blood is opened, is there another wonderful use.

It's just that the dantian is the central position in the human body, and it is the most important body root, and if something goes wrong in the rash experiment, there will be no place to die. Therefore, according to legend, the Holy Emperor, who was still the master of the gang at that time, caught countless people before and after to do experiments, and was able to find a way to open up the middle dantian with the true yuan, and then the true yuan contained in the following dantian was in harmony with the qi and blood gods of the middle dantian, creating the foundation of the true body cultivation method, and finally successfully practicing the true body of martial arts. ”

"And it is said that after the Holy Emperor unified the world, after the battle of the nine great masters and martial artists was victorious, he did not kill them, but imprisoned the nine great masters and captured countless martial artists for experiments, and only then did he find a way to open the upper dantian, so as to create a cultivation method of the true god stage. It is said that at that time, the Holy Emperor captured and slaughtered warriors on a large scale, not only to maintain the rule of the world, but also to cultivate martial arts and find test subjects. ”

"It was because of this act that the Holy Emperor perfected the true body of the refining stage and the cultivation of the true god. Even later, the unprecedented Zhou Tian stage of the Gongfa realm was created, which can indeed be called a thousand years of merit, but when it comes to morality...... Later generations have always had mixed reviews of him. When the girl said this, she also frowned slightly, obviously also having mixed feelings about this emperor of the ages who created a new world of martial arts, but also killed nothing.

It's just that the girl didn't bother with much time, and continued to speak:

"The Holy Emperor lived for more than 200 years from birth to dominate the world, and he sat on the throne for more than 100 years. But death is inevitable. Not long after his death, the dynasty collapsed, and at that time, masters from all walks of life emerged one after another, in order to snatch the peerless magic skills he left behind, it can be said that the blood of killing was like a river. The masters of the world finally recovered a little bit from the butcher's knife in the early years of the Holy Emperor, and because of the legacy of the Holy Emperor after his death, they fought each other, and almost broke the martial arts inheritance. It was precisely because of the withering of masters at that time that Emperor Wen, who was not skilled in martial arts, won the world, and later dynasties would develop to such an era. ”

"Huh~~" The girl let out a long breath, and then turned her head to look at Mo Chen and said:

"This is already all I know, the final refining of martial arts and the Zhou Tian realm have always been secrets in secrets, even if it doesn't involve specific exercises, just descriptions, even my father, who was born in the Shouxu Palace, doesn't know much, I can only guess one or two from the history that has been handed down. So that's all I know, and you can guess for yourself how mysterious the true body and the true god realm are. After speaking, while striding forward, he took Mo Chen's hand and shook it back and forth, and took Mo Chen to follow the arm swing, and walked out of the steps that the six relatives did not recognize.

Mo Chen was pulled by the girl and shook his arm forward, while sorting out his cognition of martial arts.

Pei Yuan, concentrating on the mind, nourishing qi, passing the pulse, refining the truth, Zhou Tian, this is all the martial arts realms at that time.

Among them, the Pei Yuan Concentrating Realm is only the foundation, although it is not difficult to obtain the exercises, and as long as there are resources, everyone can cultivate it. But it's only possible, even if ordinary people get the exercises, a few people can afford to pay more than one or two silver pairs of Peiyuan Realm supporting decoction. Even if it is a formal gang member in the Golden Scale Gang, practicing diligently every day, and buying a pair of decoctions every month to take it, it will take about a year for ordinary people to reach the consummation of Peiyuan. And how long does it take for someone who doesn't have a decoction?

There is also the condensation realm, the condensation realm is mainly to practice the spirit, just the first step of meditation, the average person has to condense the incense every day with the help of more than a month of effort, and the growth of the ethereal spirit is not easy to be perceived than the growth of the body, the speed is also slower, if you can't clearly feel your own entry, only afraid that people who are not qualified will only be more upset and irritable and can't even do the most basic meditation, how can you talk about improving the spirit and achieving the perfection of concentrating?

Sure enough, the higher the path of martial arts, the more difficult it is to climb, and there will be fewer and fewer companions. And even the amazing Shenwu King will die in the accident of exploring the way forward, the invincible Holy Emperor has reached the highest level of martial arts, but he has only lived for more than two hundred years, he should stop in moderation, give up when he reaches a certain level, and enjoy this life?

Mo Chen looked at the beautiful girl beside him holding palms with her palms, with an outstanding posture and a moving posture. I believe that as long as I can reach the realm of perfection and become the master of the rivers and lakes, the girl's father will not become an obstacle, and the girl will be willing to stay with her for a lifetime, isn't it good?

But Mo Chen is unwilling, relive a lifetime, since he can be born in this world where martial arts exist, personal power is strong enough to control everything, and there is the incomparable golden finger of dreams, then he must climb the peak. And Zhou Tian realm must be the end of the martial arts? The Shenwu King can open up the martial arts path with his talent and the help of others, and the Holy Emperor can break the barrier by himself. And Mo Chen has a dream space, he can connect with other people's dreams to strengthen himself, even if it is not as good as the qualifications of the two ancient masters, but when the dream connects everyone and helps tens of thousands of people, can't it create a new path?

And who said that to climb the peak of martial arts, you must go alone, can't I not only climb the peak of martial arts, but also live up to the love of a girl?

Children only make a choice, I, Mo Chen, all of them! Mo Chen made up his mind in an instant at this time. At the same time, his eyes looked firmly at the girl beside him.
