Chapter Seventy-Two: Questioning
Looking at Master Feng's back, Yang Fanhai was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to speak. There was silence for a long time, but it was Master Feng who spoke first.
"Cultivation has improved several realms, physical strength has also increased, and speed has increased slightly, but the basic martial arts have not made much progress. In comparison, it's a regression, and there shouldn't be any good student training for most of the year!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly denied the improvement of his cultivation, which made Yang Fanhai stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "But I am much stronger than before." ”
For most of the year, he has been promoted from the innate realm to now being able to compete with the martial artists of the Yudan period. Even if Yang Fanhai didn't know much about the situation in the cultivation world, this speed should be extremely good.
"I'm talking about the improvement of basic martial arts!" Master Feng reminded: "Your improvement is just true qi cultivation rather than martial arts cultivation, I don't think your battle has changed much these days, it's just to increase the strength of true qi, and everything else remains the same." ”
"This ......" Yang Fanhai couldn't refute it, thinking about it, it seemed that this was the case, his strength was based on the change of his true qi, and there were not many other changes, and the biggest improvement was only because of the enhancement of his true qi, and he could use many moves that he couldn't use before.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "This ...... Does it make a difference?"
"Naturally, there is a difference!" Master Feng said slowly: "The so-called cultivation is the cultivation of the mind, the cultivation of the spirit, the cultivation of the body, and finally the cultivation of qi. Among the cultivations, true qi is the easiest to cultivate, and it can be improved by taking elixirs without even cultivating. ”
"Self-cultivation is secondary, and it can be improved by tempering penance or some special exercises. It is difficult to cultivate the gods, and it is difficult to master the tempering strength of the soul and the primordial spirit. ”
"Among the four kinds of cultivation, cultivating the mind is the most difficult, because it does not rely on refining, but on enlightenment. I want you to cultivate the most basic moves and styles in a way that does not use true qi, and what you want is to cultivate your mind. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Fanhai was even more puzzled: "Master Feng, since you said that cultivating the mind depends on enlightenment rather than refining, then why do you want me to repeat those basic moves?"
Master Feng said unhurriedly: "Enlightenment of this kind of thing is not something that can be realized by just talking about it. The fastest way is to have an epiphany, to comprehend a lot in an instant, and to achieve an instantaneous qualitative change. But this kind of thing is rare through the ages, and the time, place, and people are indispensable. Throughout the ages, I have heard of an epiphany, but I have never seen it myself. ”
"The second is that I have experienced great joy and sorrow, and my mind has been greatly stimulated, so that I have realized more of the true meaning of life and cultivation, and my cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds. ”
"The third is that he has extraordinary talents, and he understands through the experience of some predecessors or some sudden feelings. This kind of improvement is often seen, but it is rarely achieved by qualitative change. ”
"The fourth is this thing I asked you to do, as the saying goes, punch a hundred times, its meaning is self-revealed, simple but true. On the premise of not using True Qi, no matter how many times you repeat the basic moves, you can always comprehend something. ”
"At first glance, what I've asked you to do seems to be the most primary, but the most basic. Without these foundations, the so-called other ways of comprehension would be just a mirage, and it would be difficult to appear. ”
It was said in detail, Yang Fanhai naturally understood, so he could only sigh and say: "Too many things have happened in these times, so I have not been able to cultivate well, so there are some shortcomings." ”
Master Feng shook his head: "There are too many so-called things, and in my opinion, they can only be regarded as excuses. Even if you don't have time to cultivate, you should have time to think about it. If you take some time each day to think about your shortcomings, you should do more than that. ”
"But that's not your problem, because I haven't told you either. When I was meditating in the mountains, I didn't want you to have too many thoughts because of this reason, but I mistook the basic cultivation, so I didn't deliberately remind you. And now that you have reached such a realm and walked out of the mountain, in the future, you will not only do cultivation, but also think more, only in this way can you comprehend faster. ”
Yang Fanhai nodded: "Disciple understands!"
Suddenly, he remembered something again, and hurriedly asked: "Master Feng, the disciple has been to Cuiwei Mountain these days, and the head of Cuiwei Mountain said that the disciple's meridians are blocked, do you know?"
Master Feng nodded: "Naturally, I know, because your meridian situation was originally caused by me." ”
"Ah!" Yang Fanhai was stunned, in fact, his real intention was to ask why after he made a breakthrough, the meridian blockage seemed to have improved, was it a problem with the exercises, he didn't expect to get such an answer.
Master Feng then explained, "For some reason, your talent is excellent, at least among the people I know, there are no more than five that can be inferior to you. Don't say that if you practice under my sect, even if you are guided by a random person, you can surpass many so-called geniuses, and your strength will increase by leaps and bounds. ”
But talent is never everything, and what is too easy to obtain can easily give people some unreal illusions, so they lose the opportunity to perceive the true meaning of power. When it reaches a certain level, it will stagnate and it will be difficult to become a real peak powerhouse. ”
"Throughout the ages, there have been countless so-called geniuses, but few people understand this truth, or know this truth, but cannot really do it. The temptation of greater power can easily make people lose their normal heart. ”
"The vast majority of geniuses end up in a realm that the world thinks is strong, but it is 108,000 miles away from being truly strong for this reason. So much so that they can only be talked about in an era, but they cannot become legends and have been handed down all the time. ”
"I don't want you to just flash through this era like a meteor, I want you to become a legend and have more influence. That's why you have done something in your meridians to make it harder for you to improve. One day, you will find that today's hardships will help you a lot. ”
"Disciple understands!" Yang Fanhai nodded, he would not wonder if Master Feng was deceiving what he said, this man was as trustworthy to him as his parents.
Then he asked suspiciously: "Master Feng, when I was in Cuiwei Mountain, I found that other people's cultivation is very different from mine, the so-called Qi training, foundation building, and knotting Dan, I don't seem to have any of them, is it because I am a martial artist?"
My own practice is very different from that of others, and it seems that because of the cultivation of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, it should naturally be a matter of practice in the final analysis.
Master Feng put down the fishing rod, turned to look at Yang Fanhai and said, "Technique is the Tao, and martial arts are also the Tao, there is no difference in essence. As for the so-called realm divisions such as qi training and foundation building, in the final analysis, they are also determined by people, and there was no time ago. ”
"You're different from them, it's just that your way of practicing is different, it's not impossible. ”
"Disciple knows it!" Yang Fanhai nodded: "What I don't understand is that my cultivation is equal to the realm of an ordinary cultivator, and many times I can't judge whether I can beat the other party." ”
Master Feng shook his head: "If you can't even judge this, it will be in vain that I have used wild beasts to train you for so many years, and you deserve to die!"
"In the eyes of the truly strong, it is the real combat strength that judges the strength and weakness, and the so-called realm has often become a demon obstacle in the hearts of some people, who care too much about it, leading to the pursuit. ”
"The only thing I can tell you is that when the three meridians of the Belt Pulse, the Yin Dimension Pulse, and the Yin Pulse are full of True Qi, it will be much more difficult for you to make a breakthrough again. If you can make a breakthrough, you can enter the three realms of refreshing spirit, fetal light, and ghost spirit in turn. That's not something that can be done by simply improving your true qi, you need to have a certain state of mind to break through. ”
Pulsed ...... Yang Fanhai's heart moved. If you divide your realm by the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, you are now in the realm of the veins, and I am afraid that you will soon encounter the first level of cultivation that Master Feng said.
How to get through, Master Feng will definitely not tell you directly, only as he said, practice and think more on weekdays, and then get more insights to make breakthroughs.
According to Master Feng, his talent should be good, but Yang Fanhai has no confidence in his heart, and he always feels that something is missing.
After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Feng, if my talent is insufficient, I should be able to make up for my lack of talent by training diligently." ”
"Why do you think so?" Master Feng asked rhetorically.
Yang Fanhai immediately said: "I went out of the mountain this time and saw a lot of things that I hadn't seen before. At the same age, some people have invincible courage, while others are mediocre. Among the strong people, some are talented, while some are diligent and pendeficial, so they can have that kind of strength. From the disciple's point of view, it should make sense that diligence can make up for clumsiness. ”
Master Feng smiled and didn't answer, but pointed to the other side of the pond and said, "Did you see that little turtle? What do you think it's doing?"
At a glance, I saw a small turtle crawling onto a protruding stone, step by step, to the edge of the stone, as if it was concentrating on luck, and then jumped with all its might, and jumped directly into the pond.
Yang Fanhai immediately nodded: "See, is the turtle practicing diving?"
Master Feng shook his head: "No, no, no! This turtle has a slight spirituality by chance, I was bored some time ago and told it some tricks of flying, but it was fascinated by it and wanted to learn how to fly." So I keep climbing up and down, hoping that one day I can harvest all the harvest and fly in the sky like a bird. ”
"Haha, how is this possible!" Yang Fanhai immediately laughed loudly: "It jumps up and down like this, it is impossible to learn it in a lifetime." ”
Flying is something that too many people want to try, but it's just unobtainable, after all, not everyone has Ling Wei's sword. If flying was as simple as the little turtle thought, he would have learned it a long time ago.
"You're right!" Master Feng nodded: "If nothing happens, don't say a hundred years and a thousand years, even if this world is destroyed, it will not be able to learn to fly." ”
"Is it so diligent, can it make up for the lack of a bird with a talent for flying?"
Yang Fanhai was stunned and couldn't say a word.
