Had dinner with Xuan Zhen Xuan Yi.
After dinner, Xuanyi still wanted to listen to stories, but Xuanzhen patted Xuanyi's bald head and signaled Xuanyi to go back to his room to study Buddhist scriptures.
In Xuan Yi's slightly disappointed eyes, Xuan Zhen led Lu Ming away.
The goal of the two people was precisely the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion located in the back mountain.
On the way, while sighing at the righteousness of Fuxuan Temple, Lu Ming took out the contents of Xuanzhen's stomach.
One thing is clear.
The martial arts in this world are relatively complicated.
It is very easy to get to the third level, and it is not difficult to get to the sixth level, but starting from the fifth level to the fourth level requires many opportunities and many insights.
The external orifice mark, the meaning of martial arts, internal and external communication, and the meaning of celestial phenomena...
Lu Ming had no elders to help him. Although he had the mini-game system, Lu Ming's martial arts cultivation improved rapidly. However, after reaching the fifth level, Lu Ming's eyesight was indeed dark. In addition to knowing how to continuously open up according to the true skills, he had no knowledge of the fifth level. I don’t know anything about other things...
And since Xuanzhen is willing to teach Lu Ming the martial arts of Faxuan Temple, he will not be stingy when he thinks about some experience.
On the way, when faced with Lu Ming's questions, Xuanzhen showed no secret.
"The fifth-level aperture condensation realm condenses the seventy-two internal and external acupoints."
"But the logic of condensing the inner orifices is completely different from the logic of condensing the external orifices."
After all, the acupoints in the body can still be broken through with blood and energy, but the external orifices involve internal and external interactions, and the power of qi and blood alone is not enough.
"This requires care."
"The purpose of condensing the aperture is to nourish the mind."
“But to cultivate your mind, you must first be intentional before you can cultivate your mind.”
Raising cats and dogs but not having cats and dogs... isn't this a cloud?
In this world, there is no such thing as Yunwu Dao.
"So the warrior starts from the external body and involves the 'intention'."
"There are two kinds of meaning."
"One, the meaning of weapons and fists."
Sword intention, knife intention, fist intention, spear intention.
"This is also the path taken most by warriors currently."
"And the second one is human will. It can also be called human nature!"
People also have intentions, meaning is will, which can also be called character.
Goodness is nature, goodness leads to Buddha-nature, and Buddha-nature turns to Buddha-nature.
Evil is nature, evil creates murderous nature, and murderous nature turns into evil intention.
Robustness is nature, and stabilization means precipitation, and precipitation means stability and invincibility.
Bravery is also nature, bravery is sharpness, and sharpness creates the meaning of indomitable progress!
"Essentially speaking, there is no difference between the meaning of weapons and the meaning of people. In other words, any warrior can use one of the two to achieve the third level, and there will be no difference. If the two are practicing together, there will be no difference. The road to quality will be smoother, but that doesn’t mean that practicing both together is necessarily stronger than cultivating one alone.”
Lu Ming nodded to express his understanding.
I thought of Xuan Yi.
This little monk's temperament is in line with the Buddha's nature, and in conjunction with the Buddhist techniques, the door to the fourth level is half open to him - the path he will take in the future is obviously the path of human will.
There are also some people who do not have outstanding characteristics and have a relatively average temperament. They can fight desperately or develop steadily, but this does not mean that such people cannot become fourth grade - just take the first path.
"I won't go into detail about people's intentions, because this road follows one person and one person, and there is no way to summarize any rules and logic."
"The key point is still the first way, the meaning of weapons."
"But this path actually has quite high requirements for warriors."
Some people are naturally good at using swords, and some people are naturally good at using knives.
Their intention to use weapons will be much simpler.
Even if you are not good at it naturally, you can actually make up for your lack of talent through acquired hard work - this is the so-called practice makes perfect.
This means that the meaning of weapons depends not only on innate aptitude, but also on acquired efforts and opportunities.
But no matter which path you take, it's actually very difficult... There are too many warriors stuck in the fourth level.
Xuanzhen waited for Lu Ming to digest it for a moment, then said: "However, martial arts has been passed down to this day, and the seniors have also summed up some methods."
"It is currently recognized that the best way is to... first reach the ultimate level of technique, that is, the state of a master of moves and routines, and then study the meaning of related weapons. This can greatly improve the warrior's understanding of meaning. It will be easier to succeed, and the external orifice will be opened more smoothly, and the success rate will be higher when breaking through to the fourth level in the future."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "The ultimate in skill? The realm of a grandmaster?"
Xuanzhen nodded.
Just as the two of them arrived at the back mountain.
In front of them is the towering Sutra Pavilion, and there is an open space in front of the Sutra Pavilion.
Xuanzhen stood in front of the clearing and raised his right hand to Lu Ming.
"Let's see. It's boring just to talk about it. Junior brother, you don't have a deep understanding of it."
"We can have a brief discussion. By then, with my junior brother's intelligence, I will probably understand everything."
Lu Ming didn't hesitate after hearing this, he just cupped his hands and said.
"Please give me some advice, senior brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword light flashed!
…
Lu Ming's current swordsmanship is still based on the Blood Killing Sword and Yuan He Yin Lei Sword. If he doesn't have a deep grasp of the Impermanence Sword and the Nirvana Sword, Lu Ming won't use them to show off.
At this moment, Lu Ming drew his sword, and it looked unpredictable and unpredictable.
The sword light flickered, as if it could attack Xuanzhen from any angle!
However, Xuanzhen just remained motionless, just clasping his hands together, looking at the sword light in the sky as if it were nothing!
Suddenly purple thunder fell from the sky.
Xie Leiyin struck out with one move, piercing Xuan Zhen's face!
Of course, Lu Ming retained three points of his strength. After all, it was just a discussion, not a fight to the death.
It wasn't until the sword light flickered to Xuanzhen's face that Xuanzhen raised his head.
The clasped palms suddenly spread apart.
The left palm caressed lightly, bringing out airflow that rolled Lu Ming's long sword to one side. The right palm slowly shot out, facing Lu Ming's face at a speed that Lu Ming could completely see through.
Xie Lei Yin failed to make a contribution. Lu Ming resolutely retreated to dodge the attack, but saw Xuan Zhen retract his left palm and hit him on the shoulder again.
The movement was still unpleasant, and it was completely within Lu Ming's reaction range.
His sword flashed and he slashed at Xuanzhen's left palm with his sword, but suddenly he felt his energy and blood stagnate, and he took three steps back.
However, Xuanzhen's right palm used a strange move, which had hit Lu Ming's Qihai Dantian.
Lu Ming, who was holding the sword, stood there for a long time. Soon, he smiled bitterly and asked, "What kind of palm technique is this?"
In this sparring session, Xuanzhen's movements, strength, and speed did not exceed him at all, and were basically on the same level as him.
The palm wind that drew away the evil thunder was not beyond the limit, and the power of blood used would not exceed Lu Ming's limit.
Even so, Lu Ming was defeated quickly and had no power to resist at all.
Then Xuanzhen smiled slightly.
"This set of palm techniques is called Blind Palm Technique."
Lu Ming was stunned at first, and then understood immediately.
This is not a palm technique...
But it can also be said that this is the real palm technique!
Extremely skilled, palm technique at the master level!
…
"The ultimate in skill and the state of a master is the prelude to the will. It is not an indispensable prerequisite, but it is of great help to the cultivation of the will."
"And the so-called master's state is to first reduce the simple to the complex, and then reduce the complex to the simple, and understand all the moves and routines thoroughly, and the skills are close to rationality."
Fighting skills must have moves and routines, whether it is low-grade martial arts or sixth-grade or fifth-grade martial arts.
How to exert force and the connection between sword moves constitute a set of sword techniques - these are undoubtedly the most logical and practical routines summarized by predecessors.
In fact, when Xuanzhen said this, Lu Ming had some vague insights.
But that didn't stop him from continuing to listen.
"The so-called reduction of simplicity to complexity means mastering more moves and routines. For example, you are learning more swordsmanship... whether it is low-grade martial arts, or sixth-grade or fifth-grade martial arts."
"The more you learn, the more you change, until you reach the point where you can use sword moves at your fingertips to face any situation, that is the great achievement of Fan Zhi."
"After reaching this point, warriors should simplify their moves and routines."
Lu Ming added thoughtfully: "Is there any way to win if there is no way?"
Xuan Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I would say that junior brother has a very good understanding. If you don't have any tricks to win, you have to use these five words. The truth is quite profound."
After praising Lu Ming, Xuanzhen said again: "Yes, reducing complexity into simplicity is the process of arriving at victory without any tricks."
All moves have their own reasons, and they follow only two points - the force exerted by the joints of the body, and the circulation route of the blood and energy.
Without discussing some secret techniques that can twist joints, any sword move must be based on "reasonable force" and "reasonable blood circulation path" - in other words, there are thousands of moves but they never deviate from their origin!
The underlying logic is the same.
Turning complexity into simplicity is a process of letting go of the superficial and getting to the bottom of things.
Once you have achieved great success and reached the level of a master, you will no longer need any tricks or routines. Each move will go straight to the root of the skill!
Great simplicity!
Lu Ming thought for a moment and understood the logic behind it, but another question arose in his mind.
"But senior brother, the sixth-grade and fifth-grade sword moves involve the movement of blood and energy. The relevant sword moves match the movement of blood and energy. How can we change this and make it simple?"
Xuanzhen smiled slightly, but asked: "Junior brother, do your two sets of swordsmanship have the same blood energy circulation path?"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
The Blood Killing Sword and the Yuan He Ying Lei Sword do have some swords that follow roughly the same meridian path.
"Are the sword moves exactly the same?"
Lu Ming suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's different."
At this point, there is no need for Xuanzhen to say anything else.
Because Lu Ming should have discovered a fact long ago.
That is, the relationship between blood energy circulation and moves and routines is not completely binding!
The blood in the body flows in a fixed route, but when making moves, Lu Ming can cut, tease, pick or stab. One blood flow path does not only correspond to one fixed move!
After reading this, Lu Ming suddenly felt enlightened and had some understanding.
A system prompt suddenly sounded in my ears.
[Your blood-killing sword rises to a star. 】
[Currently Samsung! 】(originally one star)
[Your Yuanhe leads the thunder sword to rise to the star. 】
[Currently four stars! 】(originally Samsung)
The Nirvana Sword and the Impermanence Sword have not yet risen to star level... Gein has just acquired them.
Thinking about the first few stars of these two sword skills, it is not that difficult for Lu Ming.
Xuanzhen saw Lu Ming standing still and seemed to have some thoughts, so he also stopped.
It wasn't until Lu Ming took a deep breath and came back to his senses that Xuan Zhen continued with a smile.
"So junior brother, now you know how martial arts in this world came about, right?"
Lu Ming laughed loudly.
"It's self-made!"
That's right, all the techniques are created by strong people themselves!
After all, how can someone else’s product be as useful as one’s own?
Once one reaches the realm of the ultimate master, low-level martial arts students can create whatever they want without any effort.
And once one fully understands the underlying logical relationship of the circulation of blood and energy, it is not difficult to create a sixth-grade or fifth-grade fighting technique - but this kind of skill is just a residual skill, lacking the true intention of martial arts.
And if you want to create a more advanced, far-reaching technique or even real technique, that is a matter for fourth-grade or even top-grade warriors.
Xuanzhen's voice sounded again.
"Actually, after reaching the fourth level, fighting skills no longer have any moves or routines, and even some of the techniques, even the energy and blood circulation diagrams are gone, and there is only a single true intention of martial arts."
"The true intention of martial arts is not even limited to paper. It may be a stone, a piece of wood, or a trace."
"There was once a master of swordsmanship who watched the canyon and realized the peerless swordsmanship."
"There was also a strong swordsman who looked at the sea and understood how to cut the sea with one sword."
"There are also those who dominate the world and take the world's momentum with them, realize the first-level true skills, create the Emperor's Dragon Fist, and become so powerful that they are so powerful!"
"Everything in the world is in accordance with principles, and martial arts is no exception. To reach the third level is to observe the principles of heaven and earth, cast a golden body, condense the martial seal, and Tianyuan breaks through the martial arts to connect with the gods and point directly to the great road!"
After saying this, both Lu Ming and Xuan Zhen looked fascinated.
Martial arts, martial arts!
How can a mere energy and blood, a mere move and a routine be enough?
Just as he was sighing like this, the Sutra Collection Pavilion had arrived.
