Chapter 19: Martial Arts
"How could I be misremembering my own things?" Elder Lu said.
"Old Lu, let me tell you, don't be sloppy with me!" said the beggar.
Jiang Yuan looked at the two old men, his eyes were a little complicated, these two old men were really interesting, but Jiang Yuan was also very much looking forward to Elder Lu's knife.
"Okay!" Elder Lu hesitated for a moment, his expression was exactly the same as that of the previous beggar, and he took out another knife in pain.
"I don't know who made this knife, and the name is unknown, but it's also a sharp weapon, although it's not as good as a falling mark, but it's enough for you kid. Elder Lu said.
Jiang Yuan looked at the long knife that Elder Lu took out, the blade of the knife was more than one meter, and the width was about the same as that of the falling marks, as for the handle of the knife, it was as much as a foot, and the back of the knife was covered with patterns.
"Boy, take it!" Elder Lu saw Jiang Yuan's fiery gaze, and knew that Jiang Yuan liked this knife very much, so he threw it at Jiang Yuan casually.
Jiang Yuan's eyes were quick, he directly grabbed the handle of the knife, and the long knife was in his hands, Jiang Yuan felt heavy, it should be particularly heavy, Jiang Yuan tried to swing it a few times, and found that it was a little difficult.
"Boy, don't look at this knife is very ordinary, very heavy, it is made of fine iron. The beggar reminded.
"Oh!" Jiang Yuan nodded, this knife estimates, it may weigh a hundred catties, what is the concept of a hundred catties, an ordinary adult, it is probably such a strength.
If Jiang Yuan hadn't awakened the water vitality, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to lift the long knife.
In the following period of time, Ma Yuan and Elder Lu began to teach Jiang Ling'er some things, as for Jiang Yuan, Ma Qi meant, when Jiang Yuan can swing the long knife freely, and when to start learning.
This is embarrassing Jiang Yuan, every day like a fool, he keeps holding a long knife and waving it hard.
"Ling'er, are you back?" Jiang Ling'er swaggered past Jiang Yuan's side, Jiang Yuan wiped his sweat and asked.
"Well, Jiang Yuan, how are you practicing your sword?" Jiang Ling'er stopped and asked.
"Barely thirty or forty strokes. Jiang Yuan scratched his head and said.
"Jiang Yuan, then you have to work hard!" Jiang Ling'er made a cheering gesture to Jiang Yuan, and then left.
As soon as Jiang Ling'er left, Elder Lu appeared in front of Jiang Yuan.
"Jiang Yuan, are you lazy again?" Elder Lu asked with a stiff face.
"No, no. Jiang Yuan hurriedly denied it.
Hugh had been deceived as a teacher, and the teacher clearly saw that you were lazy. Elder Lu said.
"Huh!" Jiang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Master Lu, I'm really not lazy. ”
"I said you have it, you have it, let's practice martial arts, let's talk when we talk, you are lazy when you talk in martial arts. Elder Lu reprimanded.
"Master Lu, the apprentice understands. Jiang Yuan hurriedly bowed down and said.
"Understood, don't hurry up and practice the knife. Elder Lu said.
"Yes, Master Lu. After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he didn't dare to say more, and directly waved the long knife.
Elder Lu stood aside and looked at Jiang Yuan who was wielding the long knife, his eyes were full of appreciation, in just ten days, he could only swing less than ten times at the beginning, and now he can swing thirty or forty times, making rapid progress.
Elder Lu left, and the beggar came again, he looked at Jiang Yuan, who kept waving his long knife, didn't say anything, and left directly.
In this way, day after day, in the blink of an eye, a month has passed, Jiang Yuan has been able to wield the long knife at will, and it is not a problem to wield it hundreds of times.
In the grove, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er stood side by side, while Elder Lu and Ma Qi looked at the two of them.
"During this time, you haven't studied anything, but you should find that your strength has increased!" the horse beggar asked with a smile as he looked at the two of them.
"Yes, Master Ma. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er replied in unison.
"Well, Elder Lu and I are very satisfied with your performance during this time. The beggar said, "However, I can tell you that neither I nor Elder Lu can teach you anything about cultivation. ”
"Huh!" Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er were stunned at the same time.
"Don't be surprised! Don't worry about the two of us lying to you, we are not cultivators, if we are divided according to the cultivation of cultivators, the two of us are just out of the mortal womb. Elder Lu spoke.
"This is impossible!" Jiang Ling'er said.
"Nothing is impossible. The horse beggar directly denied Jiang Ling'er's words, "Lao Lu and I are both martial artists, and we are already infinitely close to martial artists. ”
"Martial arts warrior?" Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled.
"Hmm! The so-called martial pole of a martial artist is equivalent to the stepping realm among cultivators. Elder Lu explained.
"Oh!"
"You must have a lot of questions in your minds, but also, in the eyes of cultivators, there is no status of a martial artist at all. The beggar's words were a little sad.
"Martial artists can also become martial cultivators, countless years ago, martial arts cultivation was orthodox, but later someone discovered the vitality and gave birth to cultivators, and then the trend of cultivating vitality became more and more prosperous, making the martial artists fewer and fewer. Elder Lu said.
"Oh!" Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er had heard of what Ma Beggars and Elder Lu had said for the first time.
"But it's no wonder that cultivators can increase their longevity through Yuan Qi cultivation, and the higher their cultivation, the longer their longevity, while martial arts cultivation cannot increase their longevity, at most they can only strengthen their bodies. The beggar said again.
"Why did those two masters choose martial arts?" Jiang Yuan asked his doubts.
"Haha...... The two of us also wanted to become cultivators, but we didn't have that talent, so we could only follow the path of martial arts. Elder Lu smiled bitterly.
"Yes, if we could, we would also like to cultivate the Yuan Qi, but we don't have that life. The beggar also laughed at himself.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er looked at the two old men in front of them, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, old horse, let's talk about something important!" Elder Lu said.
"Hmm!" the beggar nodded, "Now I'll tell you the difference between martial cultivation and cultivators, as we all know, cultivators need to awaken their vitality, and then open up a sea of qi to absorb vitality and improve their cultivation." However, martial arts cultivation is just the opposite, it is from the inside out, strengthening itself, relying on continuous martial arts training, opening up the dantian, and generating self-energy. ”
As he spoke, the beggar directly stretched out his hand, and several rays of energy emanated out, hitting a big tree directly.
The tree shook a few times, and then broke in two.
"That's the energy. After the beggar finished the demonstration, he said.
"It's so strong. Jiang Yuan sighed.
"Haha............ You kid is still more discerning, but I want to tell you that it is impossible to get to this point without decades. The beggar said.
"Decades?" Jiang Yuan frowned.
"What do you think? The disadvantage of martial arts cultivation is that there are no shortcuts, and it relies on thousands of tempers. Elder Lu said.
"Tempered by a thousand tempers?" Jiang Yuan frowned again.
"Yes, you are out of the mortal womb, your physique is beyond ordinary people, and there are no impurities in your body, but if you want to open up a dantian, your physique must at least increase by ten times the current one. "Elder Lu was not afraid that it would hit Jiang Yuan's confidence at all.
"Ten times the increase in physique?" Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled, how to improve his physique?
"You are a cultivator, and if your physique improves, it will also be beneficial to the cultivation of vitality. Elder Lu said.
"What's the benefit?" Jiang Ling'er asked.
"To cultivate the vitality, you must first get rid of the mortal womb, and the simple point of getting rid of the mortal fetus is nothing more than enhancing the physique, if you think about it, if your physique is on the basis of breaking away from the mortal fetus, it is improving tenfold, so that the absorption and control of the vitality will be stronger. The beggar said.
"But how to improve your physique?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Haha...... The easiest way to improve your physique is to constantly challenge the limits of the human body and break through the limits. Elder Lu said with a smile.
"Oh!"
"Jiang Yuan, there is one thing, I need to remind you, you are a physique with five kinds of vitality, the first kind of vitality, it is easy to break through, but the latter kind, one will be more difficult than the other, and the multiple vitality requirements for physique are extremely high, so you must cultivate martial arts. The beggar said.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded, he was indeed the Five Kinds of Vitality.
"Ling'er, Jiang Yuan, what I said today, I hope you will remember, as for improving your physique, this is urgent, it will be difficult to succeed in three or five years. Elder Lu said.
"I discussed with Elder Lu and decided to teach you some tricks first, so that you can save your life outside. The beggar said.
"Thank you, two masters. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ling'er heard that Ma Qi and Elder Lu were going to teach them a trick, and hurriedly bowed down and thanked them.
"Ling'er, I will pass on a set of swordsmanship to your teacher, named Twelve Lotus. Elder Lu said, "You come with me." ”
Then Elder Lu took Jiang Ling'er to the other side.
"Jiang Yuan, what I passed on to you is a sword technique, called the Hundred Battles Crazy Knife. The beggar said, and then the beggar took the long knife from Jiang Yuan's hand.
With a slight shake of his hand, the knife shook slightly, and there were several buzzing sounds, and then the beggar began to wave the long knife.
The knife light continued to slash, the knife wind scattered out, and the trees continued to fall leaves, and the fallen leaves flowed with the knife light.
Looking at the beggar wielding the long knife in front of him, Jiang Yuan's eyes had an illusion, there was no one in front of him, only a knife, an extremely strong knife, this knife was fighting in all directions, the knife rose and fell, and the fighting spirit was high.
Rumble...... Rumble......
At this moment, a sound made Jiang Yuan wake up, and the beggar at this moment had already stopped wielding the long knife, but stood quietly in front of Jiang Yuan, and then those trees fell down one by one.
"Apprentice, do you understand?" the beggar asked when he saw Jiang Yuan, whose eyes were a little foggy.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Don't you want to talk big!" The two beggars glared, just now he used the Hundred Battles Crazy Knife but incorporated a little sword intent, let alone Jiang Yuan, even if he is a martial artist who has practiced swords for decades, it is a little difficult to understand it again.
"Master, the apprentice really understands. Jiang Yuan said.
