Chapter 28: Choosing Martial Arts
After Qingshi got a huge amount of credits, the first thing he did was to go straight to the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of the college. The Buddhist Scripture Pavilion is located on an island with a radius of more than two miles in Dalu Lake, which is called the Buddhist Scripture Island.
Students need to take a boat to get to the island. There is a pier in the southwest of the island. There is a ferry that goes between the south shore and the north shore once every hour. This is also the only way to enter and exit the island. Otherwise, no one can enter or exit privately, not even the teacher. The exception is that the teacher enters and exits the island at the elder-only pier on the west bank of Dalu Lake.
Qingshi showed his student certificate at the South Bank Pier, paid ten low-grade spiritual stones for the ferry fare, and boarded the ferry. This ferry has two floors and can accommodate up to 100 people at a time.
When Qingshi boarded the boat, there were already about twenty students on the boat, but there were students from both the inner and outer courtyards of the Wushu Academy. After waiting for a stick of incense, another dozen students came on board one after another, and then the boat set off.
Dalu Lake has a vast water area, covering a hundred miles in circumference. The lake is slightly oval in shape. There are seven islands in the lake. This Tibetan Buddhist Island is the largest one. It is located close to the center. The ferry is not very fast. It took more than a minute to reach the pier. .
When Qingshi got off the boat, he saw a wide granite strip road extending from the pier to the island, with giant trees on both sides of the road.
Walking about two hundred steps along the avenue, there is a granite gatehouse with no couplets and only the three characters "Zangjingge" on the lintel. After passing the gatehouse, the stone path turns into a stone staircase. The stone staircase is wide and low, about two hundred meters tall. When you reach the top of the stairs, you will see a magnificent wooden and stone structure building directly in front of you. It has seven floors. This is the Sutra Pavilion.
The outer walls on the ground floor of the Qingshi Sutra Pavilion are made of thick granite strips, and the doors and windows are made of wood. There are three gates in total.
The middle door is the widest, but it is tightly closed. On the left and right sides of the door, about five feet apart, are two smaller doors, both of which are wide open. The plaque hanging on the lintel on the left hand side has the word "Martial Arts" written on it, and the one on the right has the word "Shu Dao" written on it.
No one was surprised when Qingshi walked into the gate of the martial arts scripture building. After all, almost every martial arts monk needs to practice martial arts, and there are very few martial arts monks who practice martial arts.
After entering the door, I saw a large table in the middle of the hall. Behind the table were two young elders who were responsible for registration. There were seven or eight students lined up in front of the table. In the back, an old man with white hair and beard was lying crookedly on a large recliner, holding a book and reading.
Qingshi saw a large wooden sign erected next to the table with instructions for borrowing. Two students, a boy and a girl, were standing in front of it, so he walked over and took a closer look. Soon it became clear.
Students can enter and exit the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion Martial Arts Hall from the first to the fourth floors without restrictions. The first floor is for exercises, the second, third and fourth floors are for martial arts techniques, etc. Each time you enter, you will receive a hundred high-grade spiritual stones.
To borrow, you need credits. Each secret book is packed in a sealed container such as a wooden box, a stone letter, or a leather bag. The name, category, level, borrowing conditions, and credits required for borrowing are marked on the container. And the time limit for one borrowing, etc., as well as the content introduction and practice suggestions written by the college teachers.
Therefore, it is impossible to read the cheats and memorize them without spending credits. When selecting the secret book to be borrowed and submitting it to the administrator for registration, the borrower also needs to put his or her fingerprint on a magic weapon to show that he has abided by the borrowing commitment.
The content of the promise is not to intentionally damage, contaminate or smear the secrets, not to make copies, not to show them to others, etc. It is said that if you don't keep the promise, you will be punished by heaven. As for whether it is true or false, no one can tell clearly.
After registering and paying the credits, you can take them back.
Qingshi has no need for skills. Let alone Tianlong Academy, there is probably no better skill than Dahuang Gong in the entire Tianlong world.
Qingshi then went directly to the second floor to see the martial arts, and saw rows of wooden frames arranged neatly, much like the treasure house in Yunlu, except that there was not such a large space and there were not so many secret books.
The space on the second floor is about one thousand square feet, and there are about seventy or eighty students selecting secret books at the moment. According to the book collection on the floor, this floor is full of martial arts such as fists, palms, kicks, and kicks. Most of them are yellow level, and there are also some Xuan level. Xuan level martial arts are placed at the east end, so Qingshi starts browsing from the east end.
Naturally, Qingshi wouldn't look at the yellow-level martial arts, but only the Xuan-level ones. Unexpectedly, after looking at a row of wooden frames, they were gone.
Qingshi made a rough estimate in his mind that there were less than 500 copies of all boxing and kicking Xuan-level martial arts, and almost every one had five to ten copies. The highest among these Xuan-level martial arts skills is only the middle-grade Xuan-level martial arts.
Qingshi turned around and looked carefully again, and it was not until nearly an hour later that he initially selected two martial arts books. The first is the fire attribute Fiery Fist. The fire attribute of Qingshi is the best attribute. Therefore, I chose the yellow-level middle-grade fire attribute martial arts Fire Cloud Sword Technique in Yunlu. Now I am getting started.
If you are practicing Xuan-level middle-grade fire-attributed fire boxing technique, practicing boxing and sword at the same time will naturally complement each other.
The conditions for borrowing this martial art are students from the inner academy, with 1,800 credits, and a time limit of three months. The instructor said that this boxing technique uses the fire attribute Qi to exert great power, and if you are successful in practice, you can bring flames to your fists. It is difficult for people to take over, so it is recommended that those with fire attribute Qi and whose cultivation level is above the third level of Qi Condensation Realm should practice martial arts.
The martial skill selected in the second part of Qingshi is the Iron Whip Kick Technique, which is also a middle-grade Xuan-level martial skill and does not have the attribute Qi requirement.
The first thing Qingshi liked was that this kick method has good attack power. Qingshi uses a sword. When using a sword, it is not easy to combine with hand martial arts such as boxing and palm skills, but it complements each other well with martial arts on the feet.
Another key point is that this martial art is also a training method that specializes in leg strength and skills. If the leg strength and skills are strengthened, it will naturally be of great benefit to the body and footwork. Qingshi Body Style The attribute is Qi, and he attaches great importance to body and footwork. This martial art, iron whip and kick, can also be regarded as the basic skill of body and footwork.
Looking at the borrowing conditions, it is also for students of the inner academy. The credits need to be 1,000 points and the time limit is half a year. It is recommended to practice at the first level of Qi Condensation Realm or above.
Qingshi liked the two martial arts but didn't just take them. Instead, he went to the third floor. The third floor was for weapons and martial arts. There were all kinds of weapons and martial arts, with swords and knives being the most popular.
Qingshi still only looks at Xuan level, and only looks at swordsmanship, especially swordsmanship that requires Five Elements Qi. There are very few sword techniques of this kind, and they are not concentrated. Qingshi turned over them for a full hour before he had a rough idea of them.
There are only four types of Xuan-level swordsmanship with attribute Qi requirements, one each for fire, water, wood, and metal.
Qingshi originally wanted to choose the fire-attribute Burning Sky Sword Technique, but he has just started using the yellow-level mid-grade Fire Cloud Sword Technique, so he won't need it for the time being.
In addition, Qingshi also likes the metal-breaking sword technique. This martial art is very interesting. In battle, it is performed with metallic infuriating energy and a metallic sword, which can break the opponent's weapon.
This Xuan-level weapon-type martial arts requires higher credits than fists and kicks, both of which require more than 2,000. Qingshi was a little hard to decide for a while, so he simply didn't rush to choose, and went up another floor to the fourth floor.
The martial arts and techniques at the fourth level are relatively complex, including various body techniques, footwork, finger techniques, claw techniques, and some special martial arts such as sonic attack techniques such as lion roar, dragon elephant roar, and iron head techniques that use the body as a weapon. , silk winding hand and so on.
Qingshi only looked at Xuan-level ones with attributes. After searching for half an hour, he found a Xuan-level high-grade wind-attribute martial art, Qingfeng Finger.
According to the introduction, this fingering method needs to be performed with the wind attribute energy. After mastering it, you can use your fingers to send out wind blades. The wind blades are invisible and colorless, highly concealed, and have strong penetrating power, making them very difficult to guard against.
Qingshi was overjoyed. When he saw the loan requirement, he actually needed three thousand credits. He couldn't help but take a breath. This is undoubtedly the martial arts with the highest credit requirements that he has seen so far. Moreover, even if this martial skill has wind attribute Qi, it may not be possible to master it. According to statistics, the success rate is less than 30%.
Although Qingshi's credits were as high as 5,000, the four martial arts skills he was interested in required more than 8,000 points. He couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
After thinking carefully, Qingshi decided to exchange for Qingfeng Finger and Iron Whip Kick Technique. As for other martial arts, he would have to figure it out later.
The borrowing conditions for Qingfeng Zhi are also students from the inner courtyard. The period is half a year. It is recommended that the minimum cultivation level is the third stage of Qi Condensation Realm. Although Qingshi is still in Qi Condensation Realm, Qingshi believes that he can definitely practice and he can succeed in it.
Qingshi took two martial arts, went downstairs and came to the borrowing and registration desk. It was already getting late, and there were no students in front of the registration desk. The two young teachers were also missing. Only the old man with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows was still there. Lying in a chair and reading a book by the light.
Qingshi stepped forward and called an elder, and the old man slowly got up and walked over.
Qingshi handed over the two books. He originally thought that the old man would scream in surprise, and then warned himself not to overestimate his capabilities and aim too high, etc. However, the old man just looked up at Qingshi and deducted points from the registration without saying anything. After the formalities were completed, Qingshi himself was a little surprised.
After putting away his martial arts, Qingshi thanked the elder and turned to leave the Sutra Pavilion. He couldn't hold back his inner excitement and couldn't wait to return to the dormitory and start practicing martial arts immediately.
