22 Alienation

Sparring with peers is a training to gain experience and control the true qi and rhythm.

Wu Changkong went to Mu Bai to practice with him on the weekend. Mu Bai suppressed his realm to the early stage of skin refining, and used the kung fu he knew to practice with Wu Changkong.

One move, one style, from slow to fast. Wu Changkong wants to feel the changes in his moves, the change of moves in the battle, and the bombardment and counterattack of his true qi. Attacking and defending against the enemy, sudden reactions and sudden changes in breathing when in danger, and most importantly, feeling the convergence of different rhythmic changes.

Mu Bai said, it is best to make Han Yujuan worse and practice with Wu Changkong, the two levels are comparable, and it is easy to produce results. Mu Bai is pointing out from the side, which will benefit them even more.

Although Wu Changkong thought that this was just an excuse for Mu Bai to pick up girls, he still talked to Han Yujuan. Han Yujuan didn't agree at the time, and only said that she would see Wu Changkong's progress next semester.

Mu Bai was sure that she would come, because Wu Changkong's realm would be slightly higher than her.

Wu Changkong finally couldn't help but ask Mu Bai that question, why didn't he concentrate on martial arts and think about picking up girls all day long.

"Finally asked me? Can't help it? It doesn't hurt to tell you, I'm a modern martial arts genius. ”

Hearing this, Wu Chang shook his head helplessly.

"In the past few years, I have found several martial artists in exchange for their exercises, including your master. But I still can't get to the next level. It's been four years, and I've been stuck in the late stages of refining for too long. ”

You just praise it, and you still complain like this? I think my master has only entered the early stage of bone refining for three years. How old is he? over 60. How old are you? Less than twenty-three. Do you want to use one-third of my master's time to reach my master's realm? What do you want? This is Wu Changkong's thoughts at this time.

"I thought that the best of the family would allow me to make a breakthrough, but so far I haven't succeeded. Fortunately, with my genius idea, there is a backup plan, which is the dual cultivation of yin and yang. It's a pity that Han Yujuan didn't agree. Alas, there is no love, no sex, no desire, and no waste of time, it's just that everyone practices the same kind of exercise together when they practice meditation. What is the loss? The benefits are the most, and when the time comes, I will really succeed, I will only advance from the late stage of skin refining to the early stage of bone refining, and she will advance from the early stage of skin refining to the early stage of bone refining, and she is in the same realm as me. ”

Hearing this, Wu Changkong had already opened his mouth wide, this is simply a fictional fantasy.

"Will it succeed? Won't there be problems?" Although it was stupid, Wu Changkong still had to ask.

"Who will guarantee it? What can you guarantee 100% of it? Will you introduce a girl to you and ensure that you get married and have children?" Mu Bai looked at Wu Changkong with an idiot gaze.

What is it like? This is also a metaphor? Wu Changkong ignored Mu Bai's gaze. Ignoring what he doesn't care about is Wu Changkong's characteristic or a trick.

"There is nothing to lose by failing anyway. You must know that a stage of cultivation requires at least ten or twenty years of effort. It may take many years for her to advance, and she will be old by then, and she will not have that willpower and confidence for a long time. After thinking about it, he looked at Wu Changkong and said, "If she doesn't agree, maybe being with you may also allow me to advance." ”

These words frightened Wu Changkong a lot: "You're not kidding, are you? I don't have that hobby!"

"How did you think of that? Am I that kind of person? I'm really evil! I mean, you're not a genius, but you're a genius. ”

"Shuncai?" Wu Changkong thought speechlessly, what about the waste firewood.

"Because your martial arts heart is very strong, strong and persistent, it can be said that you have no shirking heart. In this way, with the guidance of a genius like me, of course, it will grow by leaps and bounds, and become a character second only to me. ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Changkong admired Mu Bai's brazenness a little. Why didn't you find out before? Maybe you didn't have much contact with him before.

"In this way, I will be stimulated and stimulated in the process of guiding you. If I don't advance again, I may be surpassed by you, so I will have more pressure. Maybe your rapid advancement has inspired me to gain enlightenment, so that I can also advance. ”

"Am I that powerful? I'm lucky by shit?" Wu Changkong didn't believe that he could advance quickly. The kind that only appears in fiction does not appear in reality. Countless histories have proven that there is no empowerment or any panacea for ascending to heaven. This has been proven impossible through countless blood and tears. In fact, Wu Changkong didn't know any history at all, let alone the history of martial arts, even the history in the textbook Wu Changkong didn't remember. After the exam, it was returned to the teacher, and all the knowledge of various subjects that was just barely passed was just for the exam. There is something more worth doing waiting for Wu Changkong, and that is martial arts cultivation.

The days passed quickly, and after the New Year, Wu Changkong had long felt that there was not enough time, let alone attending any New Year's party or anything like that.

There's still a lot to practice in the future. After refining the skin realm, you can practice hidden weapons, long-range attacks, and light body exercises. These take time and require repeated practice. finally understood why Mu Bai gave up studying.

Since he got started, Wu Changkong often asked Mu Bai to come to live in the villa, and by the way, he practiced and guided. In the blink of an eye, the winter vacation is over.

Wu Changkong called home and said that he had found a job in Chuyang, so he would not go home during the winter vacation. There is no need to remit money in the next semester, and the salary can be enough for Wu Changkong. The family wants Wu Changkong to go home for the New Year, and many people in the Great Qin Kingdom are like this, and it is a tradition to go home for the New Year. Wu Changkong said that he had already advanced his salary in advance and could not go back, and would send some money and New Year's goods home.

The natural lifespan at the beginning of skin refining is about 140 years old, which is twice the lifespan of ordinary people. When you reach the Bone Burning Realm, you can also keep your appearance unchanged when you are in the Bone Burning Realm. You can be 160 years old in the middle stage and 180 years old in the later stage. The natural lifespan of the first stage is 200 years, the middle stage is 260 years, and the later stage is 340 years. And because the two realms of relaxation and marrow change are already legends, no one knows. Or which old family families know.

What do you want to do with such a long life? Now Wu Changkong knows. The higher the realm, the longer it takes to meditate, and the more time it takes to meditate, so that the time seems insufficient. As soon as you close and open your eyes, it may be a day.

A person's life is a process of making ends meet. And bad habits exacerbate this process. Cultivation is to change this situation, to become a person who has a profit and a hidden change. When he saw that those who went to the gym wanted to be healthy, Mu Bai scoffed at it. Practicing the body without practicing qi is actually overdrawing the original essence and spirit of the body. Exercising without maintaining your body is like driving without maintenance. If you don't cultivate your mind, you are a child dancing with a big knife. These are all scientifically demonstrated by Mu Bai.

The so-called Mu Bai-style scientific argument is a theory that Mu Bai understands and imagines with the existing popular science knowledge.

Don't doubt me, I'm proof of it. I'm not a genius, I'm just standing on the shoulders of scientists. Mu Baiyan.

Passive rhythm. One of the purposes of sparring is to feel and adapt to and cope with the passive rhythm.

This is not only true of martial arts, but also of a person's life. A person's life is actually a passive life, because we cannot predict the future.

Following the rhythm of others is a passive approach, such as sailing against the current and not advancing or retreating.

Stick to your own rhythm and let others follow your own pace. A lot of people are like that. Already dominant, so subjective is too strong, not very good. It is equivalent to the tip of the needle against Maimang, who is stronger and who wins. Against the sky? Disobey orders? Mu Bai said, if you go against the sky, how many will have a good end? The future is unpredictable, how to fight with the sky?

Martial arts is against the sky? Many novels write about cultivating truth and cultivating immortals is against the sky. In fact, the genius ignores you. Everything is in the Heavenly Dao, even if you jump out of the red dust and reincarnation in the future, you are still in the Heavenly Dao. Heaven and earth give birth to all things, and animals that are born, but not have, for the sake of not being ashamed, and for the sake of not slaughtering. The way of heaven does not possess all things at all, does not control them, and does not dominate them. It's all up to you.

So what should it be? Since ancient times, it has been said that other people's rhythm is your own rhythm. But what you do depends on your own practice. Everyone has their own suitable method, and they have to rely on themselves to find for themselves, and other people's may not be suitable for themselves. It was Mu Bai who said that we can know from our predecessors that crossing the sea is the mainland, but how to cross the sea, what route to take, and what tools to use depends on the individual.

The bitter sea is boundless and the heart is a boat, and the years are ruthless and will be an oar.

It's almost the New Year, Han Yujuan went home for the New Year, and Mu Bai also chased after her. Master Lu Tianqing also returned to his hometown for the New Year, and Wu Changkong was the only one left in Chuyang City.

Is it lonely? Wu Changkong has never lacked loneliness. There is always loneliness on the path of cultivation.

Cultivating and cultivating, I thought that I could forget everything and concentrate on cultivation, but when the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve came, my heart still couldn't calm down. This is the first time since I started to feel uneasy, and there is no reason.

How many troubles are there in life? That's a fitting word.

If I hadn't practiced martial arts professionally since I was a child, I wouldn't have achieved what I am now. Without what I am doing now, I don't have the strength or the ability to do it, so I will worry about my livelihood and money. Or maybe like many people, in order to live a life that they don't want to live but have to live. Doing the work that I don't like to do but have to do. I want to get rid of it but I can't get rid of it. Those who can do what they love and make money from it are also the result of their own efforts. In this way, no matter what, you must work hard and persevere in choosing the right direction and goal. Otherwise, when you reach a certain age, you will be like falling into a swamp and unable to extricate yourself, and it will be difficult to think about change.

But who is behind to help you when you can't support yourself?

It's their own parents. They may have complained, or they have beaten and scolded, and they have more restrictions. But for what? Not for the future of their children? When their children need help the most, even if there were quarrels in the past, they still give up their own efforts to help their children. This is parenthood, this is family affection.

Will the parents be sad if they do this? Will they be worthy of them? If they don't, how can they break out of the dust?

This may be the reason for the upset.

As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, and no matter how much it is broken, it cannot change the contents of the bloodline.

How do you deal with it so that you can have peace of mind and no worries?

I wanted to give hundreds of thousands to my parents so that they could spend their old age in peace. But is this just wishful thinking? Have you considered what your parents think? Maybe they just want their children to live happily and well-being? At most, they can add one more thing, so that the whole family can live together in good health and have a full house of children and grandchildren. However, if you live according to this situation, you will not be able to cultivate at all and make progress in the martial arts.

Is this called ruthlessness?
