Chapter 35: The Nine Qualities of Martial Arts (II)
"No!" Yu Xiu immediately said in his heart, he carefully recalled the contents of the "Book of Dao" and the "Book of Martial Arts", and neither of the two classics said the words "Immortals and martial arts cannot flow together".
"It should be that people's energy is limited, and those who choose one may achieve little, but if they are greedy, they are very likely to achieve nothing. ”
Just as Yu Xiu directly set the policy of abandoning the path of cultivation after he came into contact with immortal science, the vast majority of people in the world are like him, and they don't have the energy and time to practice two paths at the same time.
You must know that there are rumors in the world: poor literature and rich martial arts, and cultivation is broken.
It stands to reason that literature is the most convenient, and practitioners only need to read books to nourish their qi and make a name for themselves. However, Yu Xiu's predecessor studied hard for ten years before he could be a child and cultivate nine traces of literary energy, which shows the difficulties involved.
If it weren't for that, Yu Xiu wouldn't have to think about studying or going to the imperial examination after coming into contact with immortal science, but just bent on seeking the Tao.
On the one hand, because he is not here, and on the other hand, it is ...... It's just that he's self-aware.
Among the three paths, the simplest one on the surface is so time-consuming and energy-consuming, not to mention the other two - the martial path and the immortal path.
"The principle of 'monasticism as the mainstay' is unshakable. Yu Xiu thought in his heart, "After all, only the Immortal Dao is the road that goes straight to immortality." ”
Wendao can gain fame and wealth, and martial arts can run rampant in the world, but compared with longevity and long-term vision, the temptation of these two for Yu Xiu is still small.
"But if you have the opportunity, you can practice one or two. He grabbed the sandalwood box on the table and weighed it.
Yu Xiu relied on literary qi and abandoned literature to cultivate the Tao so that he could easily enter the path. If he cultivated martial arts together, he didn't even need to be profound, it could also help his immortal cultivation.
You must know that the "White Bone Yaksha View Idea" in his hand is an extreme method that can consume the blood and qi of the flesh and nourish the Yin God. It's just that Yu Xiu's body has been in a state of qi and blood deficit, and he doesn't dare to try it at all.
"According to the conversations of the three monks in the secret room, the Red Blood Pill is a great tonic pill for increasing blood qi, and there are no side effects. The reason why the monk was reluctant to take it out was to wait for the three pills to be taken at the same time and break through the great realm in one fell swoop. ”
Yu Xiu thought about the effect of the pill in his hand: "With this pill, maybe you can get a glimpse of the mysteries of martial arts!"
After thinking clearly, Yu Xiu calmed down and carefully studied the "Book of Martial Arts", striving to understand the content of the book thoroughly.
Although the "Book of Martial Arts", like the "Book of Dao", only records the great principles of martial arts practice, and there is no specific method of cultivation, and the pages of the book do not leave the general method of "White Bone Yaksha Thoughts", Yu Xiu is not worried.
Because there is a side comment on this book, it was written by a monk of the Malanda Temple, and it is written such as:
"There is a rumor in the world: 'The world's martial arts are out of the land', only because the compilation of the "Martial Classics" is mostly taken from the collection of books in the temple, so there is this praise, and the people in the temple must not be proud and complacent......"
The Great Landa Temple is the first class treasure temple of the dynasty, and Yu Xiu has also heard of it, but somehow, this temple has been dilapidated more than ten years ago, and it seems that it has suffered a military disaster, and the specific reason is not clear to him.
There are two other words in the side comment that Yu Xiu is particularly concerned about, one of which is that the monk said that there are nine kinds of weapons in the world:
"The weapons of the world, nine products and twenty-seven meridians. Each more meridian increases spirituality and power by one point, and it can be divided into treasure soldiers, secret soldiers, and divine soldiers in turn. ”
This is to say that weapons seem to have strict criteria for classification like those of cultivators. However, the monk only briefly mentioned a few words, so that Yu Xiu did not understand.
As for the other word, it is the monk who is talking about the method of blood and qi condensation:
"Whoever coagulates blood into martial arts, can be punched and kicked, can be used, and can be killed...... The body is strong, and the qi and blood are self-coagulating. ”
"The method of refining is good for pile work, no danger, and refinable. There are Fulong piles, crouching tiger piles, and bear piles in the temple...... However, the horse step pile skill is the best, and the method included in this book is easy to learn, good at promoting in the army, and there are horses in the army, and the practitioner rides it, and the essence can be obtained. ”
After reading all the side criticisms, Yu Xiu immediately knew the key to condensing blood qi.
"If you want to condense blood qi and enter the martial arts, you only need to have a strong physical body and full of qi and blood, and you can try to condense your qi and blood. ”
He combined the introduction of martial arts in the "Book of Martial Arts" and "Book of Taoism" and found that this statement was true.
"'Tell the truth'. Yu Xiu secretly said in his heart, but what the monk said about being strong and full of qi and blood must not be the level that ordinary people think.
As for the monk who said that the Fulong pile, the Crouching Tiger pile, the Xiong Zhen pile and other pile skills that can help condense qi and blood, although he has never heard of it, but the last one, the horse step pile skill, Yu Xiu knows.
Horse step pile gong is to stand on the horse step, there may be slight differences in the methods of each family, but the main points are almost the same, its purpose is to hone the character, polish the plate, and gather strength.
After some reading and thinking, Yu Xiu got the method of martial arts introduction from the book, but he did not start cultivating immediately, firstly, because he returned to Yizhuang, although his spirit was still excited, but his physical body was tired, and it was not suitable for cultivation, so he had to take a good rest.
As for the second point...... Yu Xiu took out the jade cicada from his chest and rubbed it in his hand. With this secret treasure in existence, wouldn't it be unwise for him not to try to use it?
"The black-faced monk has a pillar of blood and smoke, he is a martial artist, and after being killed by me, his soul should have been swallowed into the jade cicada, leaving some memories. ”
Yu Xiu immediately packed up his things, plunged into a coffin, and fell asleep.
During the rest, Yu Xiu did not escape from the yin god, but fell asleep, but a strange dream appeared in his mind.
In the dream, he suddenly became a monk again, and the monk's face was quite pale, and he even had to cover it with ink and pot ashes.
This monk has been working hard all day long, standing on horses, picking stones, carrying water and things, and he does not dare to stop for a moment, as if he is spurred by something, and if he stops slightly, he will have to worry about his life......
When Yu Xiu slowly woke up, he remembered the things in the dream again, and immediately found that the monk in the dream was the black-faced monk. And the actions he dreamed of were the actions of the black-faced monk who was beating his body and trying to expel the corpse qi in his body.
It seems that the black-faced monk has no obsession in his life, only the fear of death before death, so he left such a memory. ”
It was a little different from the last time Yu Xiu dreamed that he had turned into a fox, he felt that this time the dream was extremely clear, and he could recall one or two details of it.
He took the jade cicada in his hand and considered: "It should be that the connection between me and the baby has deepened again, maybe I don't need to escape from the yin god in the future, I just need to take a nap to communicate with this cicada." ”
Yu Xiu pondered for a moment, and finally escaped from the Yin God and absorbed the memories left by the black-faced monk in the jade cicada.
