There is definitely inner strength, but it is not as fantasy as in the novel. It is actually a name given by modern people, which is called "jin" in martial arts.
In martial arts, especially in the internal martial arts, there is no use of clumsy strength, which is what is commonly known as brute force, nor is there any simple muscle training. Qi and blood must be smooth.
The prerequisite is to nourish Qi first, which can basically be done by standing, sitting quietly, etc.
Liu Qingshan didn't understand everything before. After a long conversation with Sword Master Yu Chenhui before coming to Tianzhu, he learned that internal power refers to the power generated by the movement of true energy in the body, which is also called innate true power.
The so-called combination of Qi and force in the inner and outer triad is close to this concept to some extent.
When Liu Qingshan understood the 36 moves of Huaquan from the super star-making instrument, he had naturally reached the level of the combination of energy and force, so he became a master of martial arts, but this was just an external skill.
The next step is to truly enter the internal refining process, that is, the true energy has realized Taiyi's circulation through the meridians, and the vital energy has deepened and sneaked into the meridians, and formed a complete cycle.
Nowadays, the long-rumored master level in the martial arts world sounds very high-level, but in fact it is basically two different concepts from the level of internal training in the novel.
First of all, after possessing the innate true power, one can use it to cultivate to the innate realm. The so-called master level is just the pinnacle of acquired warriors.
Therefore, although Liu Qingshan is infinitely close to the master-level force value and may be considered number one in the world today, he is still in the dark power stage and is still a far cry from using Qi.
According to Yu Chenhui, it is said that many of the old guys who hide in the streets or in the mountains have reached the innate realm.
However, even if these people really exist, they are easily one or two hundred years old, and they are just rumors.
"What's the difference between them?" Pajay was still struggling.
"According to our Chinese martial arts community, the brute force of the physical body is called Ming Jin, and cultivating to a higher level is Nei Jin, also called internal force."
Liu Qingshan explained patiently.
"What stage has Master reached now?"
"The realm of inner strength! But I want to tell you one thing, it doesn't make much sense to distinguish between internal and external martial arts. Any boxing technique is to practice one breath internally and muscles, bones and skin externally. Kunal's Shaolin boxing also involves the cultivation of internal strength and qigong. Other domestic and foreign martial arts Techniques also require training on strength, speed and other physical qualities, but at most they just have a different emphasis."
Many boxing techniques cannot be said to be more internal or external. For example, Xingyi Quan is classified as an internal martial art.
The now extremely famous Xingyiquan belongs to the outsiders.
Many boxing techniques of the Southern School, such as White Crane, Zonghe, and Wing Chun, do not have obvious long bridges, hard horses, or leaps and bounds. Instead, they focus on the integration of strength and overall strength, and some are biased towards internal martial arts.
Liu Qingshan's 36-hand Huaquan was magically in between the two, so it seemed even more weird, which frightened the martial arts practitioners who were used to ordinary boxing techniques.
"External training of muscles, bones and skin? Isn't that just brute strength?"
"Absolutely! The boxing technique I gave you belongs to the internal boxing, but you may not necessarily specialize in Qigong. In fact, the routine of the Internal Boxing itself is a kind of Qigong and internal Qi training. Long-term practice not only has good fitness, The health-preserving effect, as long as there is a correct application method, it can also be cultivated to the internal strength stage."
"Will I be able to learn more advanced flower boxing techniques from my master once I develop internal strength in my body?"
"Well, Kunale is following my real internal martial arts. If you want to learn it, you must endure great hardships and be able to endure great fatigue. In martial arts, there is no shortcut except hard training."
Even with Kunal's instant translation, it was unrealistic for the young Pajay to fully understand.
Fortunately, this child has a genuine interest in martial arts. This is the main reason why Liu Qingshan is willing to accept him.
So even though he didn't quite understand, the little guy could at least understand the hardships of practicing martial arts: "Master, don't worry, I have been practicing basic skills with our bodyguard and Kunal since I was four years old, and I have persisted for many years!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "It was because of your persistence that I agreed to teach you something."
Mrs. Anuaga on the side has been paying attention to the conversation here. Pajay is her own flesh and blood, and he is also very favored by Cram.
Since the young man from the east promised to teach his son the magical martial arts, it meant that Pajay's future was limitless.
Although the owner of the family, Crum, is one of the main inheritors of the Sashala Group, his main business actually relies on entertainment companies to make his fortune.
Once Pajay finally chooses this industry, he will undoubtedly become the most potential successor of Treasure Pictures.
Therefore, this young man from the East who guided him to become a strong martial artist became a crucial person with a bright future.
What's more, being treated so seriously by Kram said everything. This is also the reason why Anuaga treated Liu Qingshan so kindly.
At this time, she said: "Mr. Liu, I grew up with Pajay around me. I am too young to see other strengths, but my willingness to endure hardship makes me, a mother, heartbroken!"
Liu Qingshan nodded: "This kid is a diamond in the rough. It's rare to be able to combine hobbies with hard work and persistence. I'm quite optimistic about him."
"I just don't know if Pajay will be able to learn Mr.'s true skills in the future. I'm afraid he won't be able to persist in his efforts until the end."
"In fact, it doesn't matter even if you don't reach a very high level. Being able to finally achieve the spirit of exploration and pursuit of independent personality is more important than anything else."
"Oh, Mr. Liu, can you explain it to me? This is a bit profound for me."
"Chinese martial arts is actually the shaping of the compatible spirit of the Chinese nation. Its occurrence and development is a long-standing dynamic process. As an organic part and unique expression of Chinese culture, it is closely related to Buddhist philosophy, political ethics, and military affairs. Agriculture, medicine, and arts are interconnected and interact with each other, which should not be underestimated!”
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"Martial arts integrates Chinese philosophy, medicine, art of war, skills, education, aesthetic education, etc., showing a broad spirit of compatibility. It is influenced by our ancient philosophy and forms this kind of martial arts from low level to high level, from individuals and society to the entire The process of understanding and practicing the universe has brought human epistemology and practice to a very high level."
Liu Qingshan continued, "Traditional Chinese philosophy attaches great importance to 'Tao', emphasizing that everything must be in line with Tao, laws, and rules. Our poems, songs, dances, dramas, calligraphy and paintings, and garden architecture all pay attention to certain procedures. Martial arts The same goes for routines.”
At some point, Mrs. Anuaga's expression turned solemn.
Perhaps it is because Tianzhu itself is a country that highly respects faith. The martial arts spirit mentioned by Liu Qingshan is undoubtedly a kind of divine belief.
"Take an example, such as the spirit of patriotism! In the history of Chinese martial arts, many highly skilled martial artists and ordinary martial arts practitioners have the interests of the country and the people as their primary goal. They work to protect the safety of the country and the nation without seeking personal gain. Uphold justice, not fear violence and defend the independence of the nation and the integrity of the country with blood and life."
His words were not directed only at Mrs. Anuaga, but also at Pajay and Kunal intentionally.
"Martial arts can be said to be the epitome of our country's traditional culture. It not only emphasizes external training, but also pays attention to internal training. The internal training here is not only the strength of one breath, but also the code of conduct and conduct based on benevolence and righteousness. This is martial ethics! Also! That is to say, those who learn martial arts should learn to put down their weapons before picking up weapons. Disciples should first train their mind and stabilize their mind before they can formally practice martial arts."
Liu Qingshan's words are somewhat difficult to understand.
Even Kunal, who has studied Chinese, found it difficult to translate for the mother and son.
Unexpectedly, it was Pajay, who was less than ten years old, who quickly expressed his understanding, "Master, did you say that you must first correct your attitude as a person?"
Liu Qingshan was overjoyed, stroking the child's hair and smiling.
"Yes! On the basis of inheriting the essence of traditional martial arts, studying martial arts hard, practicing hard, and honing a strong will of kindness, courage, wisdom, and perseverance. Simply cultivating good physical fitness is only a superficial manifestation."
The belief of the Tianzhu people is that only through the practice of religion can they be freed from reincarnation and become one with the highest existence of Brahman.
After speaking this great truth, Liu Qingshan felt that his preaching might be more effective than those in China.
Obviously, even an eight or nine-year-old child can quickly understand some metaphysical ideas. The magical power of the word "faith" is indeed extraordinary.
Even Mrs. Anuaga, who was a woman, suddenly felt emotional at the next moment.
"Mr. Liu, I'm very pleased. I didn't expect that martial arts can also provide a ready-made way of understanding religious beliefs. I can rest assured that Pajie will follow you in the future!"
"Dear Mrs. Anuaga, I can guarantee that this child will at least receive systematic scientific education from childhood to adulthood, rather than pure faith education! Religious belief is related to a person's unwavering belief and his whole body. Please rest assured that I will only teach him the morals of life and the ability to strengthen his body."
So far as he said, the meaning was nothing more than avoiding Tianzhu's special social ideology and cultural phenomenon.
Those are sacred thoughts and beliefs related to people's national culture and spirit, and they are absolutely untouchable.
"Mr. Liu, I want to completely convey your attitude to our family head!"
Before the other party could express anything, Anuaga stood up suddenly and turned around to leave impatiently.
Liu Qingshan was turning his head with a grimace, but he already saw Kunal's excited expression in front of him, and the right hand he handed over with his thumb raised.
"Master, now you have become more prestigious in the Kram family!"
"How do you say this?"
"It's easy to understand. Tianzhu is a very religious country. It combines multiple beliefs and is very complicated. For example, each surname has its own moral laws and customs, and generally cannot intermarry with each other. This kind of Religious distinctions divide Tianzhu believers into several social groups. There are high and low distinctions between the groups. The distinction between high and low is closer to religion in the modern sense in form. And Master, you..."
Kunal's tone was hesitant.
