Chapter Fifty-Six: The Book of Martial Arts
Li Xuan retracted his thoughts, and jumped onto the cold jade pillar with a slight vertical. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info meditates according to the secret book of Baoyuan, sits with both feet crossed and cross-legged, and slowly vomits. After a while, I only felt that the hot breath on my head was flourishing, but the cold under my body was gradually encroaching, as if I was in the middle of winter and summer.
He didn't dare to slack off, pinched the trick with both hands, slowly raised the breath of the dantian, and left behind many questions such as who built this stone cave, when it was built, and why the layout and furnishings here are faintly connected with the method of yin and yang longitudinal practice in "The Secret of Baoyuan".
After a stick of incense, Li Xuan noticed that the slightest heat and a little cold qi slowly poured into the eight veins of the Qi Jing from the Baihui acupoint and the Yongquan acupoint respectively. The two breaths of yin and yang met in the dantian one after another, constantly circling and intermingling, until the heat breath slowly descended to the Yongquan acupoint, and then turned back and went up. The cold breath surged up to the Baihui acupoint and then turned back downward, and finally met and converged on the dantian. This was running repeatedly in his body, and he suddenly felt a gentle breath gushing out of the dantian at some point.
This mildness seems to be stronger.
The gentle breath of circulation runs and surges, like a gentle breeze blowing on the face, like a warm water bathing the body, dominating the cold and hot breaths in the meridians around the body, constantly colliding, playing, fighting, and hugging, and walking through the twelve meridians in just a short time. Although at first, the cold and hot breath were unwilling to be captured, but after a battle of wits and courage with the warm breath, they finally lost the battle and obediently followed it towards the eight veins.
Ren, Du, Chong, Belt, Yin Dimension, Yang Dimension, Yin Stilts, and Yang Stilts are the eight veins. The three strands of internal breath are running quickly in the eight veins, like a dragon walking torrent, constantly agitating and hitting the key points in the meantime, without violent agitation, and even making him feel like a fairy all over his body, and he is extremely comfortable. Li Xuan understood that this practice was not deliberately to open up the two veins of Rendu, but only to enhance the internal breath with the help of heaven and earth to bestow cold jade and blazing light, so there would be no danger of the internal breath accumulating the six veins and pouring the dantian.
Three hours later, Li Xuan realized that except for the second pulse of Ren Du who was still a little blocked, the rest of the veins were much happier than before.
For the first time, he had a hot disc on his head and knees cold jade, he didn't dare to practice excessively, spit it out, and felt that his body and mind were comfortable, especially the warm breath of the dantian was like a king who surrendered the cold and hot two breaths, and properly made him happy, so he slowly exhaled a breath, and let the warm breath wander away like a cloud, wrapping and dispersing to the meridians around the body like spring water for a week, which then returned the warm inner breath to the dantian, and dispersed the yin and yang breath to the meridians, with a long roar, and jumped off the cold jade stone pillar.
Li Xuan practiced so uninterruptedly, and after a few days, he felt that the warm breath was getting stronger and stronger, and finally completely dissolved the cold and hot breath that had accumulated in his body. The three breaths are one, and finally it becomes a powerful warm breath. Despite this, he felt that the warm inner breath in the dantian was like the wind when it was full, and he waved his hand with great energy, but when he was in deficit, he traveled far away like a hungry man, and he often had a weak heart. It seems that it will take some time to open up the two veins of Ren Du with this internal breath and finally cultivate the combination of yin and yang. On this day, he practiced the inner breath with the help of cold jade and blazing light, and felt that the inner breath had accumulated a lot, and in addition to being excited, he decided to turn to study the moves and graphics on the stone wall. He concentrated on his thoughts, and skimmed through all the figures from beginning to end, and saw that there were 216 patterns of 36 techniques carved on the entire stone wall, of which every six figures were a method of a move, and every six methods of a method were combined into a large style of a technique.
Although these six styles are independent, they have their own strengths and are related to each other. Li Xuan saw that the six major formulas were transformed into 36 strategies, and the 36 formulas were transformed into 216 changes, each of which was either clumsy, elegant, ruthless, simple, fierce, or exquisite...... In the midst of impermanence, but the moves are reasonable, vertical and horizontal, and incredible.
Li Xuan looked all the way, and always felt that although the graphic moves were exquisite, because there was no detailed explanation of the moves, it was extremely difficult to practice. Thinking so wildly, I unconsciously saw the fifth major style of the humanoid drawing, and only felt that the few moves shown in it were not only clumsy, but also had no sense of elegance.
He was slightly disappointed, and said in his heart: "I have practiced fist palm swords, although I only peek into the doorway, I am not proficient, but compared with these few moves, compared with the 'Streamer Snow Moon' sword technique taught to me by Master Wang, it is difficult to beat me." Alas...... Not to mention whether such a move can resist the enemy, but this strange and clumsy appearance, if the general comes out, won't he laugh at the big teeth of others?" Li Xuan shook his head, and was about to turn the lit firewood a little more vigorously, when he inadvertently looked up and saw his shadow reflected on the bronze mirror above the stone room. Under the melting moonlight, his every move reflected in the mirror in different directions.
Li Xuan's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "Aren't these high-hanging bronze mirrors just used to gather light?" Si Bi, pulled out the Devil May Cry Sword, learned the character painting in the fifth style, and made a move, only to see himself in several bronze mirrors instantly transformed into different moves, and these moves are elegant and exquisite, fierce and ruthless, no matter the direction of the shot, or the change of posture. He suddenly realized and was overjoyed, so he finished all the moves in the fifth major style.
In an instant, I saw the sword qi in the bronze mirror, tumbling and rolling, all of which were supreme tricks.
Since then, he no longer dared to underestimate every move on the stone wall, so he hurriedly collected his mind and practiced all the way down the figure. When it came to the last big pose, Li Xuan saw that the people in the figure were sitting and squatting, lying and standing, crying and laughing, and what was even more peculiar was that the last hand was closed, and the knife-wielding person was spreading his left arm and holding the knife in his right hand. Li Xuan's move was full of suspicion in his heart, and he said secretly: "The last move of the thirty-six strategies should be the best plan, but such a move that fell from the sky has given all his head and chest to the enemy, how can he talk about going up......?" Such a move with no way back and retreat is clearly a way of fighting for the life of a reckless man in the rivers and lakes and seeking his own death. He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up this move for the time being and continued to practice other moves according to the diagram. After a long time, he had relied on his intelligent nature, tenacity, perseverance, and growing inner breath to barely finish the graphics from beginning to end...... After putting down the Devil May Cry Sword, Li Xuan felt that he was just painting a cat and a tiger, imitating a gourd to draw a bald scoop, and every move and style seemed to be wrong. Suddenly, for a few days, although Li Xuan practiced more than a thousand times according to the moves and patterns on the stone wall, he still felt that he had made little progress, and he couldn't help but feel discouraged, and secretly sighed: "Practicing like this, it will be like a blind man touching an elephant, and it will not be the way to do it in the end...... If I get the guidance of this carved senior, I will definitely be able to do it, but he has turned into white bones, how can he guide me?"
It's unbearable!
To know that a clever painter must have thousands of hills and valleys in his chest before he writes his pen, and before the calligrapher puts down his pen, he must mean to put the pen first. And now Li Xuan doesn't understand the artistic conception contained in each move on the stone wall, and he can't determine why the 36 tricks are classified into six major styles, and what strategies and moves the six major moves are composed of, so he can practice in every possible way, but he has never been able to do it casually, but the more he forcibly practiced, the more difficult it is to get the true meaning.
He was irritable, even a little depressed. This day, he was anxious and annoyed, and suddenly turned around to see the unknown skeleton predecessor staring at the empty eye sockets, staring ahead. Li Xuan saw that although the nameless skeleton was sitting upright, the clothes that were originally wrapped in the white bones of Sen Sen had fallen off piece by piece at some point, turning into flocculents, and the exposed white bones had become much grayer. He sighed secretly, knowing that it was because he rashly opened the round copper plate at the top of the stone room, and the dry and wet air entered the room, and the skeleton was weathered a lot, so he couldn't help but apologize in his heart, and said secretly: "Although there are high and low lives, the deceased is great. Well, I had no intention of entering the stone chamber from the rift cliff cave, and I encountered strange things, and I had to get two strange books, "The Secret of Baoyuan" and "Wild News of the World", which were fought by several generations of emperors and martial arts masters. Now, entering this stone room, the fate is even greater, and in addition to ecstasy, there is no distraction, and it is difficult to extricate himself, but he forgets to bury the remains of this predecessor well, which is really a sin......" After chanting in his heart a few times, he decided to make a simple wooden coffin for the skeleton, so that he could be buried in peace.
Li Xuan said that he would do it, jumped out of the stone room, came to the top of the cliff, found a few fine pine trees, chopped them into planks with the Devil May Cry Sword, and brought them back to the cave. Although the Devil May Cry sword is extremely sharp, it is extremely uncomfortable to use to cut pine wood and make wooden coffins. Fortunately, Liang Jiu had left a few giant axes and hammer and chisel tools because of the passage to dig into the room, and with these tools, he didn't spend much time making five simple wooden coffins. The wooden coffin is ready. He went to the stone chamber of Liang Jiu and the others, and first pleaded guilty to the four skeletons, and then put their remains into the coffin. After packing up, he went to the stone room of the stone gate, ready to carefully lift the nameless skeleton and put it into the wooden coffin. He looked at the nameless skeleton and said in his heart: "It's been some time here, but I don't know who this senior is and what he looked like when he was alive. Alas, however, he was willing to spend ten years of hard work to arrange the top of the cliff into a huge and complex five-element pine forest array, and he must have been an immortal during his lifetime...... Well, if you have this extraordinary ability, and you can transcend the world and sit here in peace, you deserve to be worshiped by me for a few years. After thinking about it, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the nameless skeleton three times.
After bowing, he was about to get up, but he suddenly heard the sound of the stone door behind him, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked back to see that the stone wall that had been half-fallen before had been closed. He was terrified when he saw the line engraved on the sealed stone wall: 'Since you have bowed to me, you have a fate with me.' If you don't think of my bones, please bury them'. The handwriting is domineering and horizontal, and it is exactly the same as the handwriting on the stone door and the stone wall of the stone room.
Li Xuan's heart was a little calm, he pondered for a while, and said secretly: "I'm about to bury you, why do you say it!" Leaned forward, gently lifted the nameless skeleton and put it into the wooden coffin, closed the coffin lid, and pushed it properly, and suddenly found that there was a circular stone cave about one foot wide on the ground where the skeleton was sitting and covered with wooden planks. Why is there a circular cave here?
Li Xuan opened the wooden board covering the stone cave and saw that there was a piece of paper inside, which read: You are not afraid of the filth of my corpse, and you are willing to let me be buried in the ground, and his heart is commendable...... If you don't kowtow, it will be a rare opportunity, and in that case, I will give you the treasure in the cave, and Paul will use it for life...... After reading this paragraph, Li Xuan realized that if Shicai hadn't buckled his head to the nameless skeleton, it would have been difficult to find the stone cave under him sitting cross-legged. It seems that this person has already set up a clever mechanism here, and he can only touch it when he kowtows. Such a setting is really whimsical and unheard of!
With patience and amazement, he gently uncovered the wooden board under the paper, and saw two small notebooks of different thicknesses neatly placed in the dry stone cave. Li Xuan picked up a small notebook casually, and saw that there was a word 'Wu' written on the cover, and the word 'Wu' was written on the cover of another small book, and there was a stone knob inlaid under the two small books.
Li Xuan looked strange, his tentacles swirled slightly, only to hear the sound of zaza, and the stone wall that had been closed suddenly fell slowly.
With no worries about the future, Li Xuan opened the small book with the word "Wu" written on it, and saw that on the first page was the passage in the "Art of War" plot of "Sun Tzu's Art of War": "Knowing the other and knowing oneself will not be defeated in a hundred battles; knowing oneself without knowing the other, one victory and one defeat; not knowing the other, not knowing oneself, will die in every battle." He looked down and saw that the names of the various gangs and factions in the rivers and lakes were densely written behind him, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their martial arts moves. Li Xuanshao walked the rivers and lakes, and saw the gangs and factions mentioned in the small book, some of which he had never heard of, and some of which were big gangs and factions that had been famous in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years. He turned to the twelfth page and saw that it was written: Although the Longxi Throat Gun Sect is not a big gang, the century-old 'Throat Lock Gun Method' must not be underestimated.
Lock throat gun, the head of the gun on both sides of the cast with a double hook, can make stab, turn, lock, hook, pull, hang six kinds of techniques, the gun barrel is chain-shaped, when dancing, when bending like a snake, straight can be a rod, can be horizontally, obliquely split, twisted, entangled, very difficult to deal with. If you fight with it, you can take advantage of its footwork sluggishness, the weakness of lack of flexibility, with 36 techniques to attack the battle chapter in the 'want to capture the longitudinal' move, a move to attack its shoulder well, Quchi two holes, and then use the 'throwing bricks to attract jade' move, with the technique of oblique stabbing and horizontal picking, attack the blood sea of its lower limbs, Liangqiu two acupoints, within the two moves, will be defeated by chaos. The odds are nine out of ten...... Jiangxi Yingtan Eagle Claw School, a kung fu family, its kamikaze eagle claw and Henan Crane Shadow Eagle Claw have their own strengths, and called the north and south double eagles...... The kamikaze eagle claw technique is hard, the momentum is strong and heavy, and it can tear the iron with bare hands, and capture the elephant with one claw, which is the crown of hard-core kung fu. If you want to break it, you have to turn the thirty-six tricks to defeat the 'serial plan' in the battle chapter for a palm method, and shoot thirteen palms in a row, if the internal force is strong, you will be able to win within three palms, if the internal force is equal to it, you will win within nine palms, if the internal force is lower than the other party, you will still win after the thirteen palms...... But remember its claw trick of sneaking up on the ribs. This technique is insidious and vicious, seemingly false but real, and it is the most despicable and shameless move in the sneak attack moves......
Li Xuan pondered while looking at it, and said in his heart: "This person has such a big mouth! If according to what he said, wouldn't all the gangs and factions in the world be able to 'break' martial arts with thirty-six techniques?" At that time, Shen Wuxing shot thirteen palms in a row, and with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, he shot the ninth palm and spat out blood in Yuan Wenmen's mouth. Could it be that Shen Wuxing will make thirty-six techniques to attack martial arts...... It can't be!
He had a sudden doubt in his heart, and said secretly: "Shen Wuxing is using the 'Yanmen Thirty-six Swords' palm technique, not the thirty-six tricks and martial arts. Hehe, okay! Arrogant skeleton senior, since you know the world's martial arts, I want to see if I can break Zhuge Dongfang's 'Cold Ice Palm Technique'!" He flipped through it slightly, and easily found the 'Cold Ice Palm' on page 27, and saw that it wrote: The Tianshan Cold Ice Cave Sect is the only sect outside the Central Plains that has been extinct. Its ice palm is very domineering, especially the 'ice dragon style' is unique in the rivers and lakes...... If you are against the enemy, you need to use the first three moves of the 36 skills to win the battle chapter of the "Hide from the sky and cross the sea" and mix the third and fourth moves of the "capture the thief and capture the king" in the offensive chapter, and then use the "laughing hidden knife" six moves and the first and fifth moves of "holding the sheep" in the enemy battle chapter to attack its abdomen and arms, and take advantage of its internal strength when it is almost exhausted, and fight it...... According to this method, even if the opponent's internal strength is better than his own, the overall chance of winning is six or seven out of ten......
Li Xuan looked down and saw that although there were many sects that he cracked later, he also noted in detail the martial arts moves that could not be cracked. These include Shaolin's Luohan Palm, Zen Meaning Finger, Demon Descending Stick, Eighteen Falls of Flowers, Xuanfeng Pine and Bamboo Swordsmanship and Feiyun Palm of Longhu Mountain Tianshiguan, Wutai Mountain's century-old Fuhu Divine Palm, Taishan Lingfeng Cliff Songfeng Taoist School's Tiangang Nine Swords, Liuyun Thirteen Sleeve Gong...... He hurriedly read it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. You must know that some of the martial arts mentioned in the book, many of them are stunts that have been moving the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, and their one move and one style have already been tempered by thousands of tempers. Now, the nameless skeleton has left a large number of ways to crack it in the small book?! He was stunned for a long time, and said secretly: "Could this be that God played a big joke on me?"
