Shi Taosheng said: "You are right, learning martial arts, learning Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, mainly rely on yourself, the old decay is just a guide, to learn well, it is completely dependent on you to 'consciously realize', this time the decay is just to tell you some of the most basic views of each school, in the future you have to carefully read the classics of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, such as carefully reading the "Analects", "Mencius", "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", "Altar Sutra", "Five Lantern Huiyuan" Now, the doctrines of the various schools you have introduced have come to an end, and the old man will turn to you for martial arts training, and begin to teach you the basic kung fu of the 'Northern Soul Sword'. ”

"Uncle Shi, great, in fact, these days with you to learn the doctrines of each family, although I have been interested, but the little nephew still feels that learning martial arts is more interesting, practicing martial arts is more enjoyable, dissatisfied with you said, the little nephew thinks the most attractive is martial arts and music, which can fascinate the little nephew, so you want to teach the little nephew martial arts, which makes the little nephew so happy!" Xiao Bei said.

"You can't think like this, this doctrine, music, martial arts, in fact, all have something in common, you can't separate them, you can't think about problems in isolation, thinking that when learning martial arts, you can put Taoism, Zen Buddhism, etc. aside and ignore it, before that, haven't you been thinking about the inspiration of Taoism and Zen Buddhism on martial arts? The rhythm and melody of the flute music, and the modulation and frustration of the flute sound, are also important inspirations for people who practice martial arts. Shi Taosheng said.

"Thank you Uncle Shi for your advice, as soon as the little nephew heard that you said that he wanted to teach the 'Northern Soul Easy Sword', he was too excited and excited for a while, so he put aside the doctrine and music. I didn't think about the similarities between them and martial arts. Uncle Shi was right in his criticism, the little nephew must pay more attention to pondering how to integrate doctrine and music into martial arts in the future, many things are linked, and he must be good at touching and bypassing. Is that right?" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"There are two types of people who practice martial arts. One is to learn martial arts only in the moves of martial arts. They practice the moves of martial arts very proficiently, and they also try to improve the skills contained in the martial arts they practice, so to speak. There are also people in this kind of people who practice the martial arts they have learned to perfection, but at most, they can only be called 'martial arts heroes'; there is also a category of people, in the process of practicing martial arts, they are good at integrating positive factors other than martial arts into martial arts, and use knowledge, knowledge, experience, inspiration, and perception to guide martial arts cultivation in a timely manner, they are not only practicing martial arts moves, but also applying martial arts cultivation to martial arts practice, strictly speaking, they are not 'practicing martial arts', but ' In the process of practicing martial arts, they can realize the spirituality of martial arts, create new moves, and continuously improve the realm of martial arts, this kind of people can be called "martial arts masters". 'Comprehending martial arts', so as not to regard the cultivation of martial arts as only practicing the tricks of fighting, and the superior way of practicing martial arts, is to grasp martial arts from a higher realm, and to deeply comprehend the true meaning of martial arts. Shi Taosheng said.

"The little nephew is very ashamed, I couldn't understand Uncle Shi's intentions, it turns out that the reason why you repeatedly talk about Zen Buddhism is to let the little nephew know how to 'self-realize' when practicing martial arts, and know how to use martial arts to guide martial arts. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"That's right, from tomorrow, you and I will walk out of the monk's house and go to the mountain, let's start practicing from the basic skills, from now on, you must forget the 'Liuhe Yin Yang Palm' that you learned with your master Fang Liuhe for the time being, don't think about it, don't use its moves, treat yourself as a person who has not learned any martial arts moves, start from scratch, the cleaner you forget the 'Liuhe Yin Yang Palm', the better you can learn new martial arts, as the saying goes' The old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come', there is a loss to gain more, learn martial arts to be single-minded, single-minded to be profound, of course, when you really learn the 'Northern Soul Sword', you go to practice the 'Liuhe Yin and Yang Palm', at that time, you can not only 'pick the 'Liuhe Yin Yang Palm' back, and when you use this set of palms, your skills will be stronger. Shi Taosheng said.

"The little nephew must listen to Uncle Shi's words, forget everything he has learned before, and concentrate on learning the 'Northern Soul Easy Sword' for you, please rest assured!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

On the morning of the second day, Shi Taosheng led Xiao Beiyou to the mountain behind the Hanging Temple, Shi Taosheng usually looks like a thin old man, but when he goes to the mountain, he walks like flying, although Xiao Beiyou's light skills are still good, but when he gives full play to his skills, he still can't keep up with Shi Taosheng, Xiao Beiyou secretly admires in his heart: "Uncle Shi doesn't look like a person who has passed the age of antiquity, he walks on the mountain road, fast and fast, it's incredible!"

In the blink of an eye, Shi Taosheng had reached a wide area on the mountainside, which was a ruin, there used to be a building, but now it has collapsed, and there are some old bricks, old stone slabs, old wooden beams, etc.

Shi Taosheng waited for Xiao Beiyou at the ruins, and after a long while, Xiao Beiyou arrived out of breath, he gasped and said: "Uncle Shi, you are really amazing, the little nephew tried his best to catch up with you, but he couldn't catch up, the little nephew finally understood, why did you let the little nephew carry it heavier and heavier, it turned out that your martial arts were very high, and the little nephew admired you in his heart!"

"Your cultivation of martial arts has not yet reached the fire, and when you practice martial arts in the future, you will definitely be able to surpass the old decay, now the decay will teach you to practice from the simplest and clumsy way, you look at the ground, this ancient building remains left stone slabs, wooden beams, etc., I want you to start practicing from moving this stone slab, in the future you are going to take the sword, the sword is light, but you have to practice moving this stone slab first, in the future. When you hold a sword, you feel like you're holding a thread. Shi Taosheng began to teach Xiao Beiyou to practice.

"The little nephew must do what Uncle Shi instructs, practice martial arts seriously, never be sloppy, never lazy!" Xiao Beiyou said strictly.

"You spent three days practicing moving this slate, and when you carried me, the old man already had a rough idea of your basic skills, and then, on the first day, you had to move this slate to a place a foot away and put it down, and then move it back to its original place. I've been practicing. On the second day, you have to move the slabs two feet away, and on the third day you have to move them four feet away, and then move them back away. You have three days to lift this beam. First lift it up. It's very easy for you, then you have to dance with it and then move on. In the next three days, you have to dance the iron stick, and then you have to dance the wooden stick, although the weight of the stick is getting lighter and lighter, but you must dance faster and faster, and then go down, you will dance the iron spear, the body of the spear is longer than the sword, and the head of the spear is as sharp as the sword, and when you can dance the iron spear well, you can start to practice swordsmanship, from the slate to the sword, the size is getting smaller and lighter, and when you dance the sword, you can be very flexible. Shi Taosheng taught.

"Uncle Shi, your training method seems to be very clumsy, but it is an ingenious method of gradual 'retreat' in order, the weapons practiced are getting lighter and lighter, but it starts from laying a good foundation, from practicing moving stone slabs to practicing swords, this is really a very interesting practice, the little nephew must practice seriously according to what you said. Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Actually, you have a very good understanding, as soon as the old man says it, you will be clear, now, start practicing, the old man will also practice to cultivate his body, you follow what the old man said, go and move the slate!" Shi Taosheng trusts Xiao Beiyou very much, he knows that Xiao Beiyou does not need his supervision, Xiao Beiyou will definitely train strictly and seriously.

In the past nine days, Xiao Beiyou has been training strictly in accordance with the method guided by Shi Taosheng, and every time he was exhausted before he was willing to stop, on the tenth day, Shi Taosheng took out a sword and handed it to Xiao Beiyou, Xiao Beiyou took a closer look at the sword, he was very surprised, ordinary swords are flat, the sword body is sharp on both sides, and the sword handed over to him by Shi Taosheng is triangular, sharp on three sides, it is both a sword and a very similar to a gong, it is a sword with a unique shape.

Xiao Beiyou got the sword and was very happy, he said: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for lending such a precious sword to your little nephew to practice swordsmanship." ”

"The old man did not lend you this sword, but gave this sword to you, and since then, this sword has been following you, allowing you to use this sword to exert the great power of the 'Northern Soul Sword'. Shi Taosheng said.

"Where did the little nephew get the blessing of cultivation, and he was fortunate enough to be so favored by Uncle Shi, however, the little nephew held this sword, and he was sincerely afraid in his heart, I don't know if I can practice the 'Northern Soul Easy Sword', your expectations for the little nephew are too great, the little nephew is a little worried, if the little nephew does not have the ability to practice this set of swordsmanship you created, it will inevitably live up to your expectations, then it will be a big crime!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

"Have confidence in yourself, the reason why Lao Yu chose you as an 'apprentice' is because he knows that you will be able to do it, with my good 'master' here, what else do you have to worry about? With your martial arts foundation, with your understanding and wit, Lao Yu believes that you will definitely be able to practice the 'Northern Immortal Easy Sword', and the old man is still very confident, I can have a hunch that you will be able to surpass me, you must have invincible ambition, you should be like the Kunpeng who is free to swim in the Northern Underworld, spread your wings and soar. Shi Taosheng said.

Xiao Beiyou said: "Okay, 'Master', the little one is with you, and I vow to practice the 'Northern Soul Easy Sword' well, and never give up until the goal is achieved!" Xiao Beiyou saw Shi Taosheng holding him so seriously, he was very excited, and involuntarily shouted "Master".

Shi Taosheng smiled slightly, he heard Xiao Beiyou call him "Master", his heart was happy, he admired the good apprentice in front of him very much, he felt that having a high apprentice in old age is a great joy in life. (To be continued......)

PS: There is a way to learn martial arts, in martial arts novels, it is often talked about learning martial arts, however, for how the master teaches his apprentices to practice martial arts, some martial arts novels are often written more vaguely, "Jianghu Fangyuan" tries to talk about more specific methods of learning martial arts, I hope the story told can be liked by readers. http:///book/3051739.aspx
