Chapter 2 The Perfection of the Realm of Harmony
The human body has nine orifices, two for the eyes, two for the ears, two for the nostrils, one for the mouth, and two for the front yin and the back yin.
To open the aperture, it is necessary to use internal force to stimulate the corresponding acupoints of the nine orifices. At the same time, the acupoints correspond to the physical functions of the person, and every point of the acupoint is opened to the human body, which means that the physical body is strong.
If the eyes are opened, the warrior can see farther and see at night; if the ears are opened, the warrior can hear farther and hear the different details of the sound; if the nose is opened, the nose can be compared to a hunting dog, and the taste can be smelled at a greater distance, and the type of taste can be identified; if the mouth is opened, the human body can improve the use of food and activate the blood supply to the heart; if the anterior yin is opened, the essence can be nourished and the life span of the human body can be improved; and the back yin can be opened, the purification ability of the human body can be improved, and the general poison will lose its effect.
The nine orifices are connected to the five organs, and the opening of the nine orifices is also exercising the five organs. With the opening of the acupuncture points, the amount of true qi that can be contained in the human body will be greatly increased.
The human body has a lifespan of 90 years, an adult of 18, a middle-aged age of 30, and an old age of 50, but the practice of martial arts can change these. In the Tongli realm, as the realm deepens, the warrior can gradually slow down the aging time, but his lifespan remains the same. But when a martial artist enters the enlightenment period, not only will the aging be delayed even more, but when he reaches the ninth order of enlightenment, his lifespan will increase by one jiazi, reaching one hundred and fifty years old.
The human body is fragile from the beginning, and as it grows up, it can't outrun the wolf, and the strength is not as strong as the cow. But people can slowly evolve themselves through martial arts cultivation. To the nine orifices are fully opened, the warrior has great power in his gestures, although he cannot fly to the sky, but the speed is faster than the cheetah, and the strength is better than the elephant, which is the peak of the human body.
These are all common knowledge that everyone knows about martial arts practitioners in Great Xia, and in Zhao Dongli's eyes, this is evolution.
In previous lives, there was Darwinian evolution, and after millions of years of evolution, man finally broke away from apes. In this world, martial arts are not fiction in martial arts novels in previous lives, but can actually change people's physical bodies. When he reaches the pinnacle of martial arts, what can he see, how will he see the world, will this world change in his eyes?
If martial arts exist, then immortals, demons, demons, ghosts, etc., do they also exist?
For Zhao Dongli, this is the motivation for him to practice martial arts, and this motivation is so pure that it inspires Zhao Dongli.
After reaching the high level, the martial artist can begin to open the tricks, but it is not enough to know the nine tricks, the tricks are hidden deep in the human body, and the difference is thousands of miles, and the internal force is used to open the tricks, if you don't find the right place, you will never be able to open the tricks. After thousands of years of martial arts development in the Eastern Continent, many predecessors have already figured out the location of the Nine Tricks, found all kinds of methods of "touching the Tricks", and cooperated with the internal strength of the Enlightenment Realm to complete all kinds of unique learning. These masteries are regarded as confidential by all the powerful people, so if they don't have a good background or join a certain organization, ordinary martial artists will lose their way to advancement after reaching the Tongli realm.
Only the royal family, the imperial court, the army, the family, the gang and other organizations have all kinds of magic secrets, and therefore, martial arts practitioners are bound to join them in order to obtain the exercises of the enlightenment realm.
For Zhao Dongli, fortunately, this is not a problem.
Although Zou County is a remote town in Daxia, Zhao Dongli's background is not ordinary. If Zhao Dong leaves and goes to the core area of Great Xia, after knowing his name, the other party will most likely ask: "Brother Zhao is a member of the Zhao family in Liangzhou?"
The royal family and the top families are all family groups, and these surnames are all famous names, and there are not ten fingers in Great Xia. And the Zhao clan of Liangzhou is one of them, enjoying a great reputation in Great Xia. Although there are tens of millions of people with the same surname Zhao in Great Xia, there are a lot fewer warriors with the surname Zhao, in case they happen to be from the Zhao clan in Liangzhou, it is not something that ordinary warriors can afford. Ask more questions to avoid a lot of risks. These are all lessons learned by the common blood of warriors for thousands of years.
Zhao Dongli is already one of the branches of the Zhao clan in Liangzhou, because he has not produced a high-level martial artist in Liangzhou for a long time, and he has been discriminated against in the main sect, so Zhao Dongli moved to this border town from his grandfather, far away from the land of right and wrong, and can also concentrate on teaching his children.
In the final analysis, it is two words: force. Not only are the various organizations fighting openly and secretly, but the competition within the organization is also fierce, and each organization is worried that there will be no successor. Even if it is a top family, if there are no top martial artists for two or three consecutive generations, the status of the family is also in jeopardy.
After all, strength represents status, and status can bring respect and awe, connections and wealth. If there is no strength, respect and awe are absent, and the connections are dissipated, and only an empty name and wealth remain, of course, it will attract the covetousness of the rest, until it invites disaster.
Zhao Dongli's grandfather joined the Cao Gang after moving to Zou County, and although the Zhao family was not taken seriously, the family's reputation in this remote county was still very useful. And this Cao Gang is another huge organization.
Gangs are different from families, and the internal bond that holds them together is blood. And the meaning of the existence of gangs can only be common interests, just like the Cao Gang, with water transportation as the cornerstone, branches throughout the territory of Daxia, there must be Cao Gang.
Most of the people of the family held important positions in the imperial court, and they were the tentacles of the royal family reaching out to the borders of Great Xia. Gangs, on the other hand, are more at the bottom, equivalent to the arms stretched out upwards at the bottom. Above, it is the royal family of Great Xia, and below, it is the hundreds of millions of people in Great Xia.
After a martial artist enters the advanced level of the Tongli Realm, he can open his mind, but Zhao Dongli's uncle told him that after entering the advanced level, he must not rush to open up the acupoints, but to cultivate the internal force in the meridians to the point that there is no growth.
Those who work together are connected to the internal force and the meridians of the whole body; The full, the overflow also.
Only when you reach this realm can you move on to the next realm.
Zhao Dongli's parents died early and were raised by his uncle, who also joined the Cao Gang and took over his grandfather's position after his grandfather retired.
The uncle told Dongli that this was a family rule, and if he did not reach the consummation of the Gongli realm, he would not be allowed to enter the family's "Yanwutang". Because if you don't reach the perfection of the Tongli Realm and cultivate the enlightenment, you will never be able to reach the high level of the enlightenment realm. And the Liangzhou Zhao family's "Yanwutang", as a training institution for the family's core martial arts, should put forward such high requirements for the recruited children of the Zhao family.
The martial artist of the consummate realm of Tongli is no longer moving at will, but surging in the meridians all the time, repeating the cycle, and even when sleeping, the internal force is also slowly flowing, moisturizing the meridians, just like the Changlan River, day and night, flowing endlessly.
Because the meridians are always nourished by internal forces, the human body can suspend aging, and be full of vitality, until the time limit is approaching, it will age sharply.
Martial artists who have reached this realm can enter the realm of enlightenment without exception, and because of the never-ending internal force as the driving force, the time for these martial artists to open the acupoint will also be greatly shortened. Although he stays in the Kone Realm for a longer time, he will quickly surpass the martial artists who have not reached this realm after entering the Enlightenment Realm. It's like building a house, the stronger the foundation, the higher the house can be.
At the earliest, this was a trick that the royal family and the family knew, but for thousands of years, countless martial artists have practiced countless internal skills, and some martial artists have also discovered this. If you want to reach the advanced level of the enlightenment realm, you have to be complete when you are in the Tongli realm. However, the lifespan of a human being is limited, and it is quite easy for a martial artist to reach the high level of the Kone Realm, but it is not a simple matter to achieve perfection. And if a martial artist obtains the method of opening the realm, it is difficult to withstand the temptation and not open the first few tricks. After all, as long as you open your mind, you will enter the realm of opening your knot, and your strength will increase significantly.
Therefore, ordinary martial artists either do not have enough qualifications and cannot reach the consummation of the Tongli realm, or although they can achieve it, they have to open their minds early because they are unable to do so. After all, this world respects martial arts, and there are many disputes, and sometimes there is no stable environment for people to cultivate with peace of mind and lay a good foundation.
However, the requirements of the core disciples of the wealthy family are that they must achieve the consummation of the Tongli realm, and because of the toughness of the background, the children of the big clan can cultivate with peace of mind, and the wealthy family provides the disciples with a suitable environment and internal strength within the clan, and the disciples give back to the family with their own strength. The two complement each other and have been the norm for thousands of years. Gangs also have the same mechanism, but due to the lack of blood relations, the selection of core disciples is also strict, but the requirements for non-core disciples are relaxed.
Martial arts are divided into internal strength and combat skills, internal strength and mental strength can cultivate internal force, is the source of power for martial artists to break through to the next level, only internal strength in the realm of general strength, to the realm of opening the mind has internal strength and enlightenment, and combat skills are the secret of battle, whether it is knife method, sword technique, or light power, hidden weapons, these are all martial arts used to fight.
There are two sets of martial arts practiced by Zhao Dongli, one is from the basic internal strength of the Zhao family, but only the internal strength of the Tongli realm, all the children of the clan can be taught, to cultivate the enlightenment realm, you need to go to Liangzhou to participate in the family martial arts assessment, and those who pass will obtain the internal strength of the family enlightenment realm. But if he didn't enter the Yanwu Hall, the family also had other exercises to teach in the Enlightenment Realm, but the power was much less than the former. This set of internal strength and mental methods has a set of supporting combat skills
The other set is from the Cao Gang. As a gang, the Cao Gang has a large number of low-level martial artists, so as long as they reach the high level of the Tongli Realm and have merit to the Cao Gang, they can be taught the Enlightenment Realm exercises, and if they are regarded as the disciples of the core layer, they will teach the more powerful exercises, because the first choice is the internal strength of the Zhao family, Zhao Dongli only chose one combat skill in the Cao Gang - the Blood Battle Knife Method.
And this time, Zhao Dongli is here to practice with peace of mind, what is the family's internal strength.
All in all, in the Eastern Continent, any martial artist with lofty intentions will reach consummation in the Tongli Realm, laying a good foundation at every level, and laying a good foundation for future take-off.
Zhao Dongli had a hunch that he was about to reach the consummation of the Tongli Realm today, and after running for thirty-five days, Zhao Dongli had already felt a burst of pain in the meridians, could it be that he couldn't reach the consummation of the Tongli Realm today? In order to break the level this time, Zhao Dongli had been staying by this waterfall for a week, and he thought that he could break through the level every day of cultivation, but he returned in vain.
Because although the fist is hard, the meridians are fragile, and daily cultivation is not only increasing the internal force, but also nourishing the meridians, so that it can carry more internal force. However, the number of times a day can be run is limited, and the speed is not enough.
Seeing that the dry food he brought was almost finished, if he hadn't finished his work, he would have to go back in disgrace. Before he came out, he packed a ticket for a certain little girl, and this time he would definitely be able to achieve the consummation of the Kone Realm.
It's been thirty-six days, this is the limit of what Zhao Dongli can cultivate at the moment, if it doesn't work out this time, Zhao Dongli should go back, although he is about to fail, but he is not shocked in his heart, and still keeps his mind as calm as a mountain, the first few times it was because of the fluctuation of his mind, which led to the final failure, this time he will not make this mistake again.
Fortunately, luck was good tonight, when the internal force ran for thirty-six days and returned to the dantian, Zhao Dongli retracted his consciousness, and at this time, the dantian and all the meridians shook together, and then a wave of internal force poured out from Zhao Dongli's dantian. If the amount of internal force when Zhao Dongli consciously operated was a big river, the internal force that unconsciously gushed out at this moment was like a stream, less than one-tenth, but as long as the internal force could operate uninterruptedly, the amount of internal force accumulated in a day would greatly exceed the amount of meditation and cultivation.
This time it's the right time, Zhao Dongli opened his mouth and laughed silently.
But the smile stopped abruptly, because at this moment something suddenly appeared in his mind.
