Chapter 2 Great Efforts and Vigorous Steps
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Wang Chen and the others were woken up for breakfast. After eating, Wang Chen was led away by a young man in a strong suit.
On the way, a rather obscene-looking teenager walked quickly to the young man in front of him, hugged his fists and said, "Little brother Wu De, just arrived, big brother, what do you call it! Please take care of the big brother." Although the young man in the suit didn't like Wu De's flattering smile, he also hugged his fists and said, "Be polite...."
The words of the two people were not deliberately concealed, and Wang Chen also heard them. It turned out that they were going to the Tibetan Martial Pavilion, the Tibetan Martial Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a place to collect martial arts cheats. Hearing this, Wang Chen's heart couldn't help but become hot, and he had also heard about martial arts with other teenagers in the past few days. Ordinary people learn martial arts and are mostly controlled by dealers, and it is okay to deal with two or three ordinary people, but if it is really a martial artist, it is not enough. A very important point for a true martial artist is to have martial arts skills. And there is basically no martial arts method outside, only the general trend is possible. As long as a person who has learned martial arts is not a fool, he will generally be much stronger than ordinary people.
Wang Chen knew that the secret book of Dao martial arts was rare and beneficial to himself, and this time going to the Zangwu Pavilion was a rare opportunity.
The teenagers looked forward to it in their hearts, and inadvertently accelerated their pace. After about a quarter of an hour, an attic appeared in front of me. The attic is built on the hill and is composed of cedar wood throughout, which shows its luxury. The wooden pillars are carved with patterns, a dragon and a tiger, lifelike, as if they are about to run out of the pillars.
The people followed the young man into the attic. The attic was wide inside, and there was nothing around it except for a few racks of weapons. However, at this time, the place did not seem empty, and the teenagers marched slowly in pairs, surrounded by strong-armed guards, and the tiger's back was very powerful. Wang Chen and several people also hurriedly lined up at the back of the line.
It didn't take long for Wang Chen to arrive, and after passing the previous few people, Wang Chen also knew that this level test was called touching the bones. Touching the bones is a simple way to judge a person's martial arts qualifications.
It is important to know that Lu Dao is born differently, some people are extremely talented and suitable for learning martial arts, and many people are not suitable for learning martial arts. People with good talent practice for two years are more likely than others to practice for five or even ten years, so talent is a very important aspect of learning martial arts. Of course, factors such as perseverance are also very important, after all, the qualifications of martial arts can be changed, but perseverance is difficult to change. In fact, Wang Chen later learned that the three major gangs have their own emphasis on the conditions for practicing martial arts, the Dragon and Tiger Gang focuses on perseverance, and as long as they pass the first level of climbing, they will be qualified, while the other two gangs focus on qualifications, first touch the bones, as long as they have inferior qualifications, they can enter the gang.
A pair of hands touched Wang Chen's head and neck for a while, Wang Chen's heart was uneasy, and his body was about to tremble a little, but fortunately, after a few years of wandering life, Wang Chen was more determined, and forced himself to take a breath to calm down.
Medium
Wang Chen's eyebrows stretched when he heard the voice, and he exhaled in one breath, as long as he has the qualification to practice martial arts. Reaching out to take the token, Wang Chen looked at it curiously, the wooden token carver was a dragon and a tiger, and the word medium was engraved underneath.
As the boy touched his bones, he walked inside. The road is a bit deep, surrounded by cyan stone walls, and behind the attic is actually stones, as evidenced by the occasional peeking of cyan moss. Obviously, the Dragon and Tiger Gang actually hollowed out part of the mountain and used it as a Tibetan Martial Pavilion.
"What a big spirit" Wang Chen was secretly surprised, and his eyes couldn't stop looking around.
Everyone walked forward, and every few steps was a cave supported by pillars made of fine iron, and the teenagers were curious to look around, and their hearts were full of admiration for the Dragon and Tiger Gang.
A moment later, an iron door appeared in front of everyone, in front of which were two factions of guards, and the teenagers were checked one by one for the tokens, "Those with superior qualifications and special qualifications can go with me to the second floor, and the others choose cheats on the first floor", a middle-aged man led several people with excellent qualifications to the second floor after the inspection.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressed, and a group of children about ten years old were naturally unhappy when they were pulled apart by others as soon as they came in. However, this kind of nature does not include Wang Chen. Seeing these old men coming out of it, he couldn't help but comfort a group of children.
"A person's qualifications are strange, that can be determined by simply touching the bones," the old man's indifferent words made a group of children feel better, "It is likely that some of you are far more qualified than the others who go in." After hearing this, the children became excited, as if their qualifications were really better than theirs. Wang Chen shook his head secretly, although he didn't know whether what the old man said was correct, but there would definitely not be many people with that kind of qualification, otherwise he would not judge the qualification of martial arts by touching the bones.
In fact, Wang Chen guessed correctly, sometimes he will make mistakes in judging when touching the bones, but this situation rarely happens, and only happens in some relatively rare qualifications, and these rare qualifications are almost negligible.
Although the old man's words did not convince Wang Chen, this was the only source for Wang Chen to obtain news about martial arts, so he naturally had to listen carefully.
"Although you can't choose advanced exercises, but for you at this stage, a foundation foundation exercise is better" After a lot of words, the old man's words were finally finished, and the teenagers also poured into the Tibetan Martial Pavilion.
Inside the room, four neat rows of bookshelves appeared in front of everyone, and each row of bookshelves contained thousands of books. If you sell them outside, these exercises can be sold for millions of silver, which is really shocking. The teenagers' eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to rush to the bookshelves and flip through them.
"Flowing Clouds"
"Snake Breath"
"Qingyun Sword"
"Broken Door Knife"
..........
The teenagers turned slightly red one by one, and excitedly flipped through the books. Just then, the old man who had just spoken walked over, dressed like a gentleman, not like a warrior. The old man held a ring ruler in his hand, and with a few snaps, the heads of the teenagers were slapped aside, and their bodies were like ghosts, and no one saw how the old man made a move.
"Master, martial arts are definitely not low" An inexplicable light flashed in the corners of Wang Chen's eyes. "Since this is the case, then many of the old man's words just now should be correct, after all, with his identity, there is no need to deceive people"
The teenagers all quieted down, and the old man said: "A group of stinky boys, the Zangwu Pavilion also has rules, and you can't choose randomly" The old man spoke, his voice soft, like a gentleman.
There are a lot of martial arts cheats in the Tibetan Martial Pavilion, which are divided into: internal strength heart method, sword method, knife method, stick method, body method and other blade cheats, and each cheats are divided into levels, a total of no stream, three rate, second rate and first-class points, each level is divided into superior, medium and inferior, of course, the highest level is only the third-rate cheats, above the second layer they can not enter. At the same time, the old man warned them that each person could only choose two cheats, and if they wanted to choose again, they would have to wait until five years later.
Other teenagers are checking the cheats one by one, and even some people almost fought for a cheats, and then they were slapped by the old man and didn't say a word, "Whoever fights again will be disqualified from watching cheats", a sentence made the teenagers a lot quieter, after all, there are so many cheats here, they can't quarrel for a copy, and even lose their qualifications.
Wang Chen didn't look through the cheats like others, but thought secretly in his heart. The old man's words just now have already made it very clear that it is better to choose basic exercises rather than high-level exercises at the beginning. However, if you choose the basic exercises, you will definitely not be as good as others in five years. It's a difficult choice. A few minutes passed. Wang Chen made a decision and walked straight to the bookshelf, on which was written "Internal strength, not into the stream". After all, it will be a long time in the future, and Wang Chen feels that it is better to choose the exercises to lay the foundation.
"Mangniu Gong, learn the bloodthirsty appearance of Mangniu, from the palm power to break the wood and crack the stone, practice to the extreme can have the power of the five oxen, the shortcomings of the body is sluggish"
"Spirit monkey spirit, get the spirituality of the spirit monkey, practice to the extreme, you can be like a spirit monkey, regard the mountains as flat mountains, and the shortcomings are weak"
......
Wang Chen flipped through the introduction of the cheats one by one, and put them down one by one, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Mangniu Gong, although the strength is great but too slow, although the spirit monkey qi is sensitive but too weak, since it is to lay the foundation for learning advanced skills in the future, of course, there can be no obvious shortcomings.
Flipping through the books, "Huh!" Wang Chen found a box on the far left of the second floor of the bookshelf, opened the box, and a yellowed and antique book came into view. But it was Wang Chen who turned to the next page: "I have read all the secrets of martial arts in the world, combined with my medical skills to create miraculous skills, and I hope that future generations will carry it forward."
Wang Chen was very curious when he saw it, and read a few pages of a book in one go, it turned out that the person who created this great skill was a person who had no martial arts qualifications, although he loved martial arts, but he had no achievements. Later, he turned to study medicine and medicine, and became a generation of miracle doctors, in his later years, he looked at martial arts with medical theory, and believed that although martial arts were very different, they all increased their own qi and blood anyway.
This miracle doctor created this work. Later, this skill was lost and obtained by the Dragon and Tiger Gang, but later it was found that the first layer of the second skill had no other effect except that the physique was a little stronger than ordinary people, and it was difficult to practice to the second and third layers, and the book said that the founder only practiced to the first level, so the Dragon and Tiger Gang threw it in the Tibetan Martial Pavilion. After reading the whole book, Wang Chen thought about it, gritted his teeth, took the great power in his hand, and walked to the other side.
After a while, by the two bookshelves, Wang Chen stood in the middle with his brows furrowed slightly, holding a box in his hand and looking to the left and to the right. The bookshelf on the left has the body technique written on it, and the bookshelf on the right has the sword technique written on it. Originally, Wang Chen wanted to learn swordsmanship, but after a few years of wandering life, he felt that life was the most important. If you can run fast, you will have an advantage, and no one else will be able to beat you. After a moment, Wang Chen walked to the left. There are still a lot of books on the shelves.
"Seven Star Steps"
"Snake Walk"
...... Wang Chen looked at them one by one, a little hesitant. Several middle body methods, each with its own advantages, but after thinking about it for a while, Wang Fan took a book with two words written on it, "Jinbu".
Jinbu, not into the flow level. Strictly speaking, it is not a body method, and the general body method requires simple auxiliary internal strength and some esoteric realms and the like. Jinbu is just a footwork technique, which integrates a lot of footwork tips, such as how to run faster with the least force, and how to save physical strength. Although the energetic step does not sound magical as other body methods, it is better than practicality, and more importantly, it is recorded in the book, the footwork is determined by the physical condition of the person. That is to say, if a person's physical foundation is good, this footwork will never be inferior to the general footwork.
After choosing the exercises, Wang Chen went out of the door. When he went out, the guards received Wang Chen's token and warned Wang Chen not to pass on the exercises to others, and to return them after a month, if he found that the person who circulated the leaked secret book died. This kind of warning made Wang Chen feel that the gang might not be an imaginary holy place, and that it might be even more dangerous than the outside.
Back in the courtyard, the steward assigned a room to the teenagers, saying that they should not be disturbed by the exercises. The teenagers were very willing and couldn't wait to enter their respective rooms and try their martial arts.
In the room, a bed and a table, clean and tidy, very simple, Wang Chen didn't care. Sit on the bed, cross-legged, with your body upright, in a standard meditation position. The mind sinks into the body to feel the so-called qi. After a long time, he didn't find the sense of qi mentioned in the book, and Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart: internal skills are not so easy to practice.
In the afternoon, Wang Chen and the others were gathered together to give a lecture.
The teacher who gave the lecture was a slightly urbane middle-aged man.
"It's right that you can't find the qi sense in a short period of time, even if it is a genius who is rare in a hundred years, it will take several days to find the qi sense"
"Hold your breath and concentrate your mind, your mind will be the same, your breath will be relaxed, you will feel the qi in the meridians, and you will barely be regarded as a third-rate master if you store qi in the dantian."
"Strengthen the body, exercise more can better feel the qi, qi is internal strength, more exercise can accelerate the growth of internal strength"
"Internal function enhances physical function, but the specific degree of increase depends on the exercises you choose, different exercises have different emphasis, you should pay attention to the experience in the future"
"The internal strength is relative to the external strength of the external muscles, bones and skin. Internal strength must first find the sense of qi, and then manipulate the internal qi, which runs in the meridians, and is stored in the dantian. The human body has eight large meridians, and most of the internal power flows in a part of the eight meridians, and only a few internal forces pass through all the eight meridians. ”
The cultivation of internal strength is not easy, especially the first step to find the sense of qi, many people can't find the sense of qi in their lifetime, and can only be a non-flow martial artist.
