When I came back this time, Li Wenshu was making some strange poses.
He stands on tiptoes from time to time, kicks his legs from time to time, and becomes independent from time to time.
The hands also moved out and back quickly and slowly, turning into fists, palms, and claws.
He pressed his body down, he jumped up, he twisted his waist, and he used his strokes to draw circles and squares.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in front of his left fist. Then I heard a "click". Li Wenshu's left fist maintained an extremely twisted posture, trembling, and slowly lowered it.
"Is this a boxing technique?" I asked.
He gently pinched the wrist of his left hand with his right hand, grinning and making a "hissing" sound from time to time. When he heard my question, he turned his head and glanced at me.
"Fourth level combat skill, Wave Fist."
"But it's not that wave fist." He added, "It's just an idea of a fourth-grade combat skill, not the actual fourth-grade combat skill."
The Holy Demon has no meridians. This is a fact that he and I both know.
So we can't practice combat skills.
In the final analysis, combat skills are about using specific meridians to adjust the spiritual energy, causing certain changes in the spiritual energy, and then delivering an explosive blow.
Since we have no meridians, it is naturally impossible to practice combat skills.
The same is true for Qigong. It is the route, or way, of moving spiritual energy. Of course, we without meridians cannot learn the exercises.
There is no sea of consciousness, but we are unable to practice combat skills and martial arts. This is us: not cultivators, but mortals like cultivators!
"I'll tell you a few families. Remember them." Li Wen wrote.
What does he mean by talking about several families?
"Dingyao He family, Ying family, Xie family, Mixiu Zhao family, Wang family, Youzhou Li family, Gu family, Liu family, Chen family..."
A semi-immortal clan? No, some are not. What is he talking about? What happened to these families? Does it have anything to do with us?
"I have reviewed the fourth- and even fifth-grade combat skills of these families. I owe them a favor. If I have the opportunity in the future, I must remember to repay it. Even if I cannot repay their favor, I must also pay attention to try not to interact with these families in the future. The family is an enemy.”
Is he establishing contact with this world?
I remember that before, he had an absolutely indifferent attitude towards the world, as if he was just a passer-by and would leave soon.
Now, has he begun to understand and accept the world?
Because of what I said before?
"I have learned over the past few days that combat skills at level four and above are completely different from those below level four."
After talking about those families, he did not stop, but continued, and I continued to listen.
"The first is the recording method. The combat skills of the first, second, and third levels are all recorded in books, and as long as there is the original version, anyone can copy them. In other words, anyone can record the combat skills of the first, second, and third levels. "
"But the fourth-grade combat skill is different. Its cultivation method is difficult to describe clearly in words. Instead, only cultivators who are proficient in this combat skill can use their soul power to carve the method of practicing this skill into a special kind of jade. That is, It is said that only Xiu Shen can record fourth-grade combat skills."
"In the final analysis, the combat skills of the first, second, and third grades are just simple means of utilizing meridians. They are just the ratio of the time and amount of spiritual energy circulating between each meridians."
"When to mobilize which meridians, how much spiritual energy needs to be mobilized, after all, it just records these. Well, if the machine also has meridians, if the machine can also run spiritual energy, then the machine can do it equally well, even better than humans. .”
"And the fourth-grade combat skills focus on the meaning. If you don't understand the meaning of this skill, even if you master this skill, it is just an illusion. It's just gold and jade on the outside."
"So I was thinking, for fourth-grade combat skills, is [meaning] more important than meridians?"
"You have to know that what we are in now is a world of immortal cultivation where the weak eat the strong. The strong have status, money, and fame, while the weak live in danger and live in peace."
"Mortals who cannot open the sea of consciousness are the weakest among the weak. The ants among the ants are the lowest level of this world!"
"I told you before that the Holy Demon Disease can only harm humanity temporarily but cannot exterminate humanity. So when this disaster passes, what we will face is a world where the weak eat the strong!"
"By then, without meridians and unable to practice, we will be just insignificant ants! By then, who will take another look at us!"
"[You can only look at the world and you can't do anything.] You have had this thought more than once these days, right? But I want to tell you, once the Holy Demon Disease passes, we will only be more powerless than now. Nothing can be done!"
"Not to mention, we seem to have immortality. At that time, we will only become lambs to be slaughtered, experimental subjects for others, and props for others to continue their lives!"
"I don't want this! I came to this world out of nowhere, I'm not here to be a test subject for others!"
"That's why I took advantage of this period of time to learn about various things. Since the existing methods of becoming stronger in this world are not suitable for me, then I will form my own group and develop my own method of becoming stronger. !”
"It was under this circumstance that I came into contact with fourth-grade combat skills and the meaning of combat skills."
"You just asked me what kind of boxing this is, right?" He stretched out his left hand to show me, and the palm was still twisted and trembling.
I looked carefully, and I saw that the blood vessels and bones in his palm were all broken, and I saw a substance that looked like blood constantly falling from his palm.
Speaking of which, the soul seems not to be material?
"I was wrong before. This is indeed not the Wave Ken. This is a boxing technique I created after watching many fourth-level boxing techniques. I integrated those ideas and used the Wave Ken as the general structure. It is called..."
"Yifan!"
So it turns out, "You are developing techniques that can be used without meridians!"
He smiled and nodded, then continued: "That's true, but it's not just that. You should know that combat skills are also divided into spiritual skills and soul skills."
Combat skills are also divided into spiritual skills and soul skills, of course I know this. But I also know that even soul skills do not completely rely on soul power.
Some relatively simple soul skills just use the characteristics of soul power to better move spiritual energy to mobilize more spiritual energy.
As for those advanced soul skills, in the early stage, they just mixed spiritual energy and soul power to achieve the purpose of damaging both body and soul.
Although advanced soul skills can be fully used as an attack method in the later stage, if you want to practice the soul skills in the later stage, you need to refine other auxiliary things in the body, and the refining of these auxiliary things also requires Rely on meridians.
After all, meridians are still needed!
"The ultimate in soul skills is to use soul power as an attack method. Although we don't have meridians, if we can do this, we won't be much worse than others!"
"But since we don't have meridians, we can't refine the auxiliary materials needed for those advanced soul skills." I reminded him.
"Yes." He nodded again with a confident smile, "So I am not only studying [mind], but also [soul]!"
When he said this, circles of ripples suddenly appeared on his soul body. Those ripples collided with each other and shook into more scattered ripples.
Uh-huh...
A sharp pain hit my eyes, forcing me to close them.
As I closed my eyes, I keenly felt my own strength diminishing.
I've been attacked? !
"Huh..." I heard him breathing heavily, as if he had just experienced strenuous exercise and couldn't breathe.
"This..." He gasped again, "This is the soul!"
"Amazing." I opened my eyes, looked at the extremely illusory, almost transparent figure in front of me, and admired it from the bottom of my heart.
He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "It's just not perfect yet."
"The enemy is injured eight hundred times, but the self-inflicted damage is more than eight thousand."
I also laughed when I heard what he said, "Should I wait until I can injure the enemy a thousand times and damage myself eight hundred in the future?"
"Try your best, cough." He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his body became a little sluggish, "Work hard towards that goal."
"Then let me tell you what happened in the past few days." I was really afraid that he would cough and cough.
…
"You are quite popular. You got to know Jin Tongji without saying a word."
Jin Tongji? That bishop. "Is he some big shot?"
"The history of the Jin family is much longer than the dynasty of Daxia. Even the founding emperor of Daxia was funded by the Jin family."
"Then the Jin family is still the founding hero? But from my point of view, they don't seem to be doing well now."
Although the Jin family's compound is grand and huge, some of the courtyards have long been overgrown with weeds, and some rooms are filled with dust.
The actual area where the Jin family walks around accounts for less than one-tenth of the entire compound.
A declining rich clan.
"The Jin family is a family that loves a stable and peaceful life. They once controlled the richest spiritual stone vein in the world in Daxia, and they were as rich as the country, no, as rich as the country! Three thousand years ago, they were the ones who funded the Yuyi Shang at that time. The young God Son of Zhou gave birth to the founding of Tianzhou and the Tianzhou Dynasty!"
"The Jin family loves peace and doesn't like fighting, so in the troubled times of that year, they selected the people they thought were most likely to calm the troubled times to fund them, maintaining the stability of this area for fifteen hundred years."
"And during these fifteen hundred years, they have controlled the richest vein of spirit stone in the world and have the richest resources in the world. Do you know why no one robs the Jin family?"
Naturally, I didn't know this, so I cooperated with him and asked: "Why?"
"Because they are charitable, because they are selfless, because..." Li Wenshu punched his side hard and said through gritted teeth, "They are stupid!"
"In the Tianzhou territory, the spiritual energy was originally more in the east and less in the west. It's these idiots who want to bring the entire dynasty to become rich when they are rich. They always sell their spiritual stones at low prices to places where the dynasty needs them. They just rely on With the help of my own family, I have leveled the aura of the Eastern and Western Dynasties!"
No wonder no one grabbed it.
I thought only Jin Tongji was like this, but I didn’t expect that the entire Jin family was like this!
They are all so stupid! What are you planning on?
"So the Jin family has declined like this? Is it true that no one who has been helped by them is willing to help them?" I don't understand.
"That's why I say they are so stupid! When there was a local disaster, the Jin family was the first to donate money and food before the imperial court took action! Who would have thought that your Jin family has gradually declined?"
"Obviously the yard at home is becoming increasingly empty, and there are obviously fewer and fewer servants and guards at home, but they themselves don't feel that they are living a miserable life, and they are always happy to help others."
"Think about it, you save money on eating meat and eat steamed buns instead, but you go to help others drink bone soup. It's always like this, who would know that you have declined!"
But why are you so angry?
By the way, I remember that Li Wenshu's mother seemed to be like this. Even though she was not having a satisfactory life, she always helped her relatives. In the end, she fell ill from exhaustion.
Speaking of which, it seemed that his mother was still lying in the hospital bed before he came here, and he was still working overtime to earn medical expenses for his mother.
For such a person, I actually called him indifferent and said he had no one he cared about.
It turns out that I am such a damn person!
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. What I want to say is that if you know Jin Tongji, it's good to know that the Jin family has the only remaining sixth-level combat skills in Great Xia."
"It is said that the top skills left by the gods of the Jin family, please go and discuss with him whether you can show them to us."
He smiled his sly smile again, and once again put on the mask of not caring.
Inexplicably, I suddenly felt a little kind to him.
Ha, the Li Wenshu from before is back again.
