Chapter 37: The Determination to Go North (1)
After the fortune teller finished speaking, he looked up and saw that it was getting late, and said: "It's not too early now, I'll pass you a set of mental formulas first, and you should remember it by heart." If we meet in the future, I will test you again. ”
Meng Dongting heard that he agreed happily, and his heart suddenly woke up, and thought: "Actually, he intended to pass on the gong to me from the beginning, and he agreed to compete with the palm, just to find an excuse. ”
He coughed lightly at the moment and said, "Senior, you and I have never known each other in our lives, why do you treat me so kindly?"
The fortune teller shook his head and said, "I have already said that there is a fate between you and me, so you don't have to care about it anymore." ”
Meng Dongting listened to him talk like this, as if he knew himself, but he didn't know this old gentleman, even if he said the nine-character answer he gave, what could he have to do with him?
The fortune teller no longer paid attention to Meng Dongting, and said to himself: "Now I will tell you the mantra of the heart method, the essence of my palm method is the eight words 'intention is to be qi first, and strength follows qi'. As long as you understand the key to these eight characters, you will be able to instantly accommodate and understand the palm. ”
Meng Dongting said with words in his mouth: "'The intention is to be qi first, and strength follows qi', this ...... What does this mean......"
The fortune teller explained: "The first step of the Tongming Sword is the first weight, and the second is the energy. As for the moves, it is the last. ”
Meng Dongting said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you saying that you have the intention before you have the internal strength moves?"
The fortune teller smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a little bit clear." It's a pity that I follow the rules of the door, otherwise I should have taken you as a disciple. ”
Meng Dongting suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the world suddenly opened up, and said in his heart: "When I practice qi on weekdays, I always only focus on luck, and I never know the truth of 'intention to qi first', no wonder I can't practice internal strength at home." ”
"On the contrary, on that day, I was sad and angry, and I combined the principle of 'intention to qi first', and the internal force could run freely. ”
When the fortune teller saw him standing there thoughtfully, his face was uncertain, and he asked, "How?
Meng Dongting did not answer immediately, but according to what the fortune teller said, "the intention is to qi first", he contemplated the meridians of his right arm, but after a while, there was no movement.
The fortune teller saw that he was using his true qi by himself, but it did not work, so he said loudly: "Intentional but not deliberate, it seems to be nothing, intermittent and continuous, the meaning is like flowing water, and the qi is surging ......."
Meng Dongting sighed, and said in his heart: "Intentionally but not intentionally......"
Then he thought, "Ever since I practiced Quanzhen True Qi, I have only regarded it as something outside my body, and I only thought of carrying it when I used it. In fact, this true qi is like my natural limbs, just let it be natural. ”
He smiled knowingly, and immediately meditated, treating the internal force in his body as his hands, feet, and limbs.
He closed his eyes and focused on his right arm, thinking that that arm contained a thousand catties of divine power, and with one palm split, it would be able to cut off the water.
After a while, the true qi slowly gushed out, and his right arm slowly warmed up.
Meng Dongting couldn't help but be overjoyed, and for a while, the thought dissipated, and the heat faded like a tide. He nodded, knowing the secret.
Relying on this realization, he finally succeeded in crossing the most difficult level in this martial arts foundation cultivation.
The fortune teller said, "Do you really understand?
Meng Dongting shook his head, according to the luck, the qi turned at will, the internal force surged, he exhaled and raised his voice, followed by a palm split, only to hear the sound of the ground, the strength was unmatched.
The fortune teller's eyes widened, he was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... How did you get this effort?"
Meng Dongting laughed, spread his fists and feet, and the heat in his body seemed to be inexhaustible.
The fortune teller didn't take a moment to see that this was his own mental method, and couldn't help but admire: "This is your own understanding and creation?
Meng Dongting punched and kicked for a while, only to feel that the happiness was smooth, all unsatisfactory, and he was happy in his heart, and thought: "I have practiced this kind of kung fu, and I will walk the world from now on, and I will no longer be afraid of anyone's bullying!"
He bullied the rich and powerful bully in the Jiuhuai Forest, and was tortured by the jailer on death row to the point that he was completely skinless, even if he arrived in Nanjing, he couldn't escape the beating of the rich young master.
He was overjoyed, suddenly fell to his knees, and said loudly: "Meng Dongting can understand the creation of heaven and earth today, all thanks to the guidance of his predecessors, and he will never forget the great kindness of his predecessors for the rest of his life." He said and knocked his head three times.
The fortune teller hurriedly stretched out his hand, held Meng Dongting up, and said, "You are so smart in learning martial arts, I can also use a little less effort to allocate it to you." However, I have practiced this 'Bright Sword Palm', and the power is extraordinary, so you should study hard. In the future, based on this, your efforts will surely rise from the ground. ”
Meng Dongting admired and thanked the fortune teller at this time, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the kindness of your predecessors." ”
The fortune teller smiled, this: "Don't thank me first, my 'Tongming Sword Palm' is a martial art of heavy understanding." The first heavy caster's state of mind is murderous, and the routine is not heavy. If you want to cultivate to a high level in the future, it all depends on your own understanding and creation, and no one else can help you. ”
Meng Dongting said curiously: "The predecessor said that this set of palm techniques only focuses on the killing intent, but what does it mean?"
The fortune teller smiled: "This is like writing an article, if the martial arts in the world are all eight-strand articles, my 'Tongming Sword Palm' is from the ancient swordsmanship, it is like a blank piece of paper, only teach you the basic martial arts, but never stick to your moves, so understand?"
Meng Dongting was overjoyed, he hated the Bagu article the most in his life, but he was born at this time, but he couldn't get out of the trend. In his spare time, he writes lyrics, and often imagines that he was born in the Tang and Song dynasties, and he must be at ease when he swayes.
At this moment, I heard that this "Tongming Sword Palm" will not restrain his creativity, and I am even more excited.
Seeing that he was looking forward to it like this, the fortune teller just smiled and said: "Martial arts, the first is the killing intent, the second is the qi, the second is the move, the decisive victory should be in the mind, not in the palm." If you can comprehend this section, you can reach the realm of Tongtian Mingwu, so it is called 'Tongming Sword Palm'. As he spoke, he recited the mantra.
The mantra is not very long, but it is just over a thousand words.
Meng Dongting listened all the way, bowed his head and recited, and when he heard the subtleties, he couldn't help but admire the wonderful understanding, and when he encountered doubts, he couldn't help but ask.
The bright moon rose and slowly traveled to Zhongtian, sometimes the fortune teller went out to perform the test, sometimes Meng Dongting made a comparison, and a few hours passed in a blink of an eye, but the two of them didn't realize it.
There are no tricks in this clear sword palm, they are all rules that teach people to avoid coping, and the truth is virtual, and there are many tricks such as "top-heavy", "left and right", "forward and backward".
The fortune teller saw that Meng Dongting had a very high level of understanding, and others drew inferences from others, but he was ingenious and ingenious, and he drew inferences from one another, and knew a hundred things, and the fortune teller couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.
After practicing to the end, Meng Dongting suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Senior, the way of mastering the law, the truth and the truth, are all deceiving the opponent, but if the opponent moves ten times faster, how should he deal with it?"
The fortune teller smiled slightly and said, "If you want to attack the strong with the weak and bully the crowd with the outnumbered, only the unpredictable prophet can win." ”
Meng Dongting said strangely: "Unknown prophet? Is it really the same as fortune telling?"
The fortune teller laughed at his question, and laughed: "What you say may not be wrong. If you want to know the prophet, it's not so mysterious. ”
"For example, just now you attacked me three times, I rely on experience, I know how you want to shoot at a glance, I have prepared in advance, and I can deal with it calmly. No matter how fast you shoot, how can you hit me?"
Meng Dongting nodded, but then remembered that his martial arts were limited, and frowned: "But I have very little experience in the rivers and lakes, how can I see the actions of the enemy?"
The fortune teller shook his head and said, "Why do you bother to look at your opponent, you can let him make a move according to your wishes!"
Meng Dongting exclaimed: "Let the opponent make a move according to my wishes?
The fortune teller smiled and said, "Tempting it to take advantage of it, how can it not be tempted?"
Meng Dongting's mind was like electricity, and he suddenly woke up and said: "That's right, as long as I can deceive the opponent, no matter how heavy his shot is and how fast his moves are, he can also make him move his whole body." ”
The fortune teller smiled and said, "Good understanding!" ”
Meng Dongting said happily: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." It turns out that the martial arts and the art of war are completely connected. ”
At this time, Meng Dongting was already familiar with the mantra of the heart, he thought about it carefully, and when he encountered something difficult to solve, he came out to ask.
This "Tongming Sword Palm" is the most important to comprehend, and the fortune teller has to explain patiently.
At first, I only felt that Meng Dongting had a lot of questions, and he was really unable to answer them, but later, the fortune teller was surprised that Meng Dongting's questions were becoming more and more profound, and some of the questions were even more difficult problems in martial arts for thousands of years, and he could not answer them in an instant.
The two asked and answered, and the fortune teller sometimes couldn't think of an answer, so he scrutinized it himself.
On the side, Meng Dongting relied on what he learned in the art of war, and also put forward some of his own opinions and opinions, and it was no longer the fortune teller who explained alone.
A few hours later, it was the time of the Chen card, and the sky was already bright.
At this moment, Meng Dongting no longer asked, just closed his eyes and thought for a long time, recalling the essence of the mental method taught by the fortune teller.
The fortune teller looked at Meng Dongting, but the expression on his face was full of praise.
After another half an hour, Meng Dongting just lowered his head and pondered.
The fortune teller knew that he was thinking about it, and he didn't bother, just sat and watched.
Suddenly, Meng Dongting figured out the joints, let out a long laugh, and stood up.
When the fortune teller saw that his face was full of joy, he smiled and said, "Is it done?"
Meng Dongting laughed and said, "Chaowen said, it's okay to die at night." Thanks to the seniors for their merits overnight, the younger generations will benefit for life, please accept my worship. He knelt down as he spoke.
The fortune teller stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Good boy, your understanding is really extraordinary. Even I have benefited a lot from this teaching. With our discussion tonight, you will surely achieve great things in the future. ”
He touched the top of Meng Dongting's head as a reward, then smiled slightly, and turned around.
When Meng Dongting saw that he was about to leave, he was very reluctant in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Senior, are you leaving?"
The fortune teller smiled and said, "Take care, little friend." There is no endless road, you can no longer go to the scientific examination in the future, and you can also find a way to survive from martial arts. Work hard, don't live up to my intentions. ”
Meng Dongting was stunned for a moment when he heard the profound meaning in his words, and said secretly: "How does he know that I can't go to the scientific examination again? Could it be that he knows me?"
But just like that, the fortune teller had already gone far, Meng Dongting shouted: "Senior! senior!" I saw the light smoke and mist in the early morning, and the birds and flowers were fragrant, but the trace of the fortune teller was gone.
