"Secondly, although the Kongming Fist can be classified as the softest with the way of rigidity and softness, its main purpose is to 'clear with emptiness', and it pays more attention to emptiness and brightness. Although it can be said that there is something from the sky, it can be said that it is soft and rigid, but relatively speaking, it is more appropriate to be empty. Otherwise, this fist method does not need to be called Kongming Fist, it is more appropriate to call it Empty Fist!" Fang Zhixing said again.
"Emptiness and existence? That should be nothingness and existence, which is another manifestation of the way of yin and yang?"
Fang Zhixing then responded: "Yes! Rigidity and softness are a manifestation of yin and yang, presence or absence is also a manifestation of yin and yang, and lightness, emptiness and reality, speed and slowness are also manifestations of yin and yang. These are two sides of the same body, which are both mutually reinforcing and mutually beneficial, and each side of these truths can be applied to martial arts, and can be derived from the world's peerless learning. ”
"Master said that the Ancient Tomb Sword Technique and the Quanzhen Sword Technique are both top swordsmanship in swordsmanship, but one is biased towards quick and fleeting, and the other is biased towards strength and solemnity, this should also be one and the same, right?" Yang Guo said. Fang Zhixing passed on his ancient tomb swordsmanship and Quanzhen swordsmanship, and naturally also passed on the combined attack method of the Jade Girl Suxin swordsmanship to him, and when he heard "mutual restraint", Yang Guo suddenly thought of this.
Fang Zhixing nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, these two swordsmanship have reached the advanced realm, and they can be said to be the same way, and they are both unique swordsmanship in the world." And take Master's phantom body method as an example, although it can be said to be the way of speed and slowness, it also includes the way of lightness and weight, and the way of reality and reality. When this Dharma movement is made, it can be said that it goes from slow to fast, from heavy to light, from real to virtual, until it is fast and unstable, making people unable to see clearly, as if seeing a shadow. In the future, although the speed will increase, it will not be invisible, but it will be seen phantoms. The shadow is also becoming more and more solid, which is like slow and fast, fast and slow. "He has really worked light work in this life, and now when it comes to speed. It is not inferior to the undefeated East seen in the previous life, and even slightly defeated. However, the increasing resistance he encountered when he ran the body method also made him understand that he was now approaching the limit, and if he went on, his improvement would only become slower and slower, and the resistance he would receive would also increase. In this way, when blocked, there will be more and more shadows left due to slight pauses, and the figures will become more and more solid. According to Fang Zhixing's estimate, his phantom body method reached the end. It is possible that every step will encounter great resistance, and thus leave a shadow. And each of these shadows will be clearly recognizable and can be seen clearly. Of course, this is just his conjecture, and whether he can finally reach this point will depend on later. After all, at that realm, Fang Zhixing's speed is estimated to be close to the speed of sound, and it is really difficult to say whether his body can withstand the pressure brought by such a fast speed without being damaged.
Thinking of the streamer body method that appeared when he created the phantom body method, Fang Zhixing also faintly had a hint of enlightenment. Now it seems that the streamer body method should be said to be the streamer escape method. After all, the ordinary way of light work, the phantom body method can be said to have reached the limit, if you want to be like a streamer. You have to go to the next level. If you want to completely resolve the resistance caused by the faster and faster body method, you have to wait until you realize the unity of heaven and man, and truly use the power of heaven and earth. After all, although he can sometimes use the power of the wind, because the wind speed is too slow, it is still difficult to avoid resistance, and even when the wind direction is reversed, the resistance will be even greater.
"Then why does Master have to practice any further, so that people can't see clearly. Yang Guo asked. An important aspect of his martial arts practice with Fang Zhixing is light skills, and now I hear Fang Zhixing talk about this. He also put forward his own opinions. In his opinion, it is better to see clearly than clearly. At least it can make people overwhelmed.
Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "This is going to talk about the way of lightness and heaviness. Light and heavy opposite, both light and fast that can not be heavy, if heavy and heavy, light and fast must be given up accordingly. And since my phantom body technique is extremely fast, I don't have a lot of strength when I make moves, and I used a sharp sword a lot in the past few years, because of this. Now, although my speed has not increased much, my figure is getting more and more solid, and my strength has increased a lot when I make moves. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that now I still have to carry a sharp sword with me, how could I give up that one so easily!" Fang Zhixing rarely used his extreme speed now, in addition to the increasing resistance, there was also the sharp consumption of true qi and the extremely short time buffer, which caused the strength emitted when he made a move to become smaller and smaller. After all, no matter how fast he was at that point, it would be difficult for the additional strength to hurt Hong Qigong, Ouyang Feng and others who were protected by true qi in their bodies, and these people were all the top masters in the world, and it was easy to catch sharp arrows with their bare hands, although Fang Zhixing's speed was fast, it was really impossible to reach the level where they couldn't react. Because of this, Fang Zhixing will now appropriately slow down his speed and use it to increase his strength. Now when he uses the Beidou Phantom Body, with the help of the Beidou footwork change, he can use up to four or five points of strength in each stroke, which is much stronger than before. If it weren't for that, Fang Zhixing wouldn't have been able to block Ouyang Feng's toad skills in a hurry that day. Of course, if Fang Zhixing escapes regardless of other efforts, it is estimated that no one in the world will be able to catch up with him, which is also a big hole card for Fang Zhixing to walk the rivers and lakes.
Yang Guo nodded again and again when he heard this, his light skills are not extraordinary now, of course he knows that light and heavy cannot be both. Hearing this, he said: "Master doesn't transform more figures, it's also because of this, right? If there are more figures, will the strength be more divided, but it will lose its current power?"
"Yes, with my current strength, it is extremely reluctant to conjure up seven figures, so I can only maintain a few breaths at most. If you really want to talk about it, in fact, it is best to conjure up three figures, so that at the same time, each figure can use eight points of strength, and the distance between each step can be controlled at will, and the conversion space is greatly increased. It's just that now with the assistance of Beidou footwork, the conjuring of seven figures can also condense four or five points of strength, and it can also form the Beidou Array, which is the conjuring of seven figures. Otherwise, I will use the Phantom Body Method to transform three or five figures, which will last longer!" Fang Zhixing said. Although he also wanted to create footwork and formations such as Sancai and Five Elements, it was not possible for a while, so he had to use Beidou footwork all the time. However, the conjuring of seven figures is also the limit of his current speed, and in this way, he has also tried his best to shorten the distance and increase the pace. Further down, it can really be said that there is nothing that can be done, that is, it can barely be achieved. The consumption of True Qi will also make him powerless to make a move.
"It's fast to the limit but it seems to be slow, this is the reciprocal exchange of yin and yang, right?" Yang Guo heard this, and only then did he understand why the master had an illusion when he was exercising light exercises. And now it is more and more solid, it turns out that it is not what he wants. It's the extreme speed that makes the fast and the slow easy. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "This can indeed be said to be the reciprocity of yin and yang, and the same is true for the transformation of rigidity and softness. Rigidity can give birth to softness, and softness can also give birth to rigidity. Although the two are completely different, they are the same way!"
"Yes, the rigidity and softness are extreme, and it is indeed the same end!" Hong Qigong sighed when he heard this. As he spoke, he asked Fang Zhixing: "According to what you said, if you go up, is it that rigidity and softness are completely mixed into one, and there is no difference?"
"Seven Gong Mingjian! Further up is indeed the unity of rigidity and softness, at this time it seems to be the most rigid, and it seems to be the softest, but it is not rigid and soft. It can be said that it is neither rigid nor soft, but also rigid and soft!The highest realm of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending is estimated to be this!" Fang Zhixing bowed and replied. This is still his understanding after he got the remorse of Kang Long from Hong Qigong, the eighteen palms of the dragon are neither rigid nor soft, but they can be differentiated into the most rigid and soft, which can be described as the supreme art of the way of rigidity and softness. Fang Zhixing combined with the "Taijiquan Sutra", which can be said to have a lot of insights.
"It's not rigid or soft, it's also rigid and soft, so what is it?" Yang Guo heard this. But I don't understand. In the end, there was no rigidity and softness, so why did he practice rigidity and softness? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.
"Those who are rigid and soft, yin and yang. Yin and Yang are Taiji, and Taiji is also Wuji. Therefore, when this way of rigidity and softness reaches the extreme, there is no distinction between rigidity and softness! At this time, it will have both the characteristics of rigidity and softness, and can move according to the enemy. Follow one's heart. If you want to win, you can win; At this time, it can be said that the way of rigidity and softness has been completely completed. Descending the dragon eighteen palms is a mastery that can achieve this realm. Fang Zhixing said.
Yang Guo has an excellent understanding, and he also understood a little when he heard the words, and said: "The Tao Te Ching" cloud 'The world is not weaker than water, and the strong can win', and the "Art of War" cloud 'The image of the soldier is water, the shape of water, avoiding the high and tending to the bottom, the shape of the soldier, avoiding the real and hitting the false. The water is controlled by the land, and the soldiers are defeated by the enemy. Therefore, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and those who can win due to the change of the enemy are called gods. 'The water in this is neither rigid nor soft, but also rigid and soft, right?" He saw that Fang Zhixing and Hong Qigong had quoted the words of the ancients many times, and he thought about saying it himself.
Fang Zhixing smiled and nodded, and said: "The son can be taught! If you want to be strong, you will be strong, if you want to be soft, you will be soft, and you can use it with one heart, which can be said to be the right way!"
""Tai Chi Tu Shuo" cloud 'five elements and one yin and yang, yin and yang one taiji, and taiji is also indigenously indigenous', these five elements are originally attributed to yin and yang, why does the master contain rigidity and softness in the five kinds of strength, and not the five kinds of strength in yin and yang?"
Fang Zhixing was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked himself: "Yes, why do I embody yin and yang in the five elements, but not in yin and yang?" Thinking of the five elements and gossip contained in the thirteen styles of Tai Chi, he even faintly felt: "Am I on the wrong path again?"
While thinking about it, Hong Qigong suddenly laughed and said: "This is the blue out of the blue, and better than the blue." Fang boy, you have accepted a good apprentice!" He originally felt that although the Tiangan Five Elements Fist was extraordinary, the changes were too cumbersome, and there were all kinds of dangers in it. Now that he heard what Yang Guo said, he immediately came back to his senses and said to Fang Zhixing.
When Fang Zhixing heard this, he also laughed and understood his fallacy. Although the strength of the five elements is divided into rigidity and softness, but there is no distinction between rigidity and softness, and he forcibly divides it, he really has gone to the crooked road! Thinking that he was awakened by Yang Guo's disciple, he couldn't help patting Yang Guo's shoulder and expressing his approval.
Yang Guo was also overjoyed when he received the master's approval, and the two laughed. All of a sudden, there was a sound of laughter at the top of Huashan, full of joy of enlightenment!
While the three of them were laughing, Ouyang Feng suddenly shouted: "It doesn't matter what you are not rigid or soft, invincible and invincible, eat my palm first!" After seven days of recuperation, he finally fully recovered, thinking that he was injured by Fang Zhixing, but the other party laughed so happily, his heart was furious, regardless of the fact that it was late, and he wanted to fight with Fang Zhixing again!
