In Long Mansion, after Long Yu became a Kyoshi, Long Yun took some time off and began to explore the reason why Yu Ping could not advance to the Kyoshi.
Yu Ping's skills are very strange. He has very deep qi and blood, two or three times more than ordinary people. He uses very few moves. Most of his qi and blood are in the normal supply to the body and have no other use. He doesn't take advantage of any of his abilities. What's the use of having more Qi and blood from the Grand Master?
However, Yu Ping's technique is to gradually accumulate qi and blood. Although this is the same as the conditions for becoming a virtual warrior, it is restricted by it. The stronger and more proficient a person's martial arts moves are, the more his qi and blood will increase. But Yu Ping is the other way around. The stronger his skills are, the more qi and blood he needs. The more qi and blood he needs, the more he needs to move his skills. This cycle forms a vicious cycle that keeps the body's qi and blood unable to reach. At its peak, it is impossible to be promoted to a virtual warrior.
If this is a virtual realm ability, Long Yun would not be surprised, but why do methods and moves that are just luck require so much energy and blood?
Long Yun: "Didn't your master tell you how to be promoted to a virtual warrior?"
Yu Ping: "No, my master just asked me to master this set of exercises before he taught me the next one!"
Long Yun: "Oh, I understand. You may be practicing virtual martial arts. You must fully master it to be promoted to a virtual warrior! Hurry up and find your master to practice the next set!"
Yu Ping scratched his head and said, "I haven't mastered this trick yet!"
"Ah?!" Long Yun was shocked. He hadn't even mastered such simple moves yet. This was too......
Yu Ping: "This set of exercises requires concentrating Qi and blood on the brain and heart to perform the moves at the same time, but I always don't have the mental strength to complete them at the same time. Either the Qi and blood are blocked, or my strength is weak, and I always use I’m not motivated, so I didn’t succeed once, and I’m not qualified enough to practice the next set!”
Long Yun fainted. At first he thought that Yu Ping's master was hiding secrets and refused to teach him real kung fu. It turned out that Yu Ping was too stupid to learn.
Seeing Long Yun's expression, Yu Ping said helplessly: "I know I'm stupid, but there are so many differences between Xu Shi. Is it not difficult for me to reach the lowest level of Xu Shi?"
Long Yun: "Of course it's not difficult. I guess as long as you execute that move skillfully, you can almost be promoted to a virtual warrior. I guess this move has some kind of special ability, so it requires more energy and blood. Once it can be used normally, It will be very powerful, so it may not be a bad thing for you now!”
Yu Ping: "That's true. I usually don't conflict with others, so it's good to accumulate more. Brother Long, your talent is really enviable. To be able to destroy a sect in a weak year is simply unbelievable! "
Long Yun said calmly: "This is nothing!"
Yu Ping felt Long Yun's casualness, but on the contrary, he felt disappointed. Even if he could become a virtual warrior, he would still be a weak one among the virtual warriors in the future. His highest achievements would probably not reach Long Yun's current level, and there was no talk of jealousy. , it’s not embarrassing, but after all, you will still blame yourself, complain about your stupidity, criticize yourself, but what should you do? I can only tell myself secretly in my heart: If I work harder, maybe it will be different.
Suddenly, Yu Ping thought of a question, a question that was very important to him.
"Brother Long, do you think that in martial arts, is diligence or talent more important? I work harder than others, can I catch up with those who are more talented than me?"
"Disaster!"
Long Yun said it very straightforwardly. He didn't want to hurt Yu Ping, let alone lie to him.
"The path of martial arts is the most difficult one in the world. If you want to choose this path, you must be mentally prepared. There are thousands of paths in the world. You can use tricks in other ways, but this path is not possible. On this path, you must If you keep moving forward alone, if you slow down or pause, there will be more and more people in front of you!"
Yu Ping said disappointedly: "It seems that a stupid person like me will never be able to catch up with Brother Long!"
Long Yun smiled slightly and said: "If you just work hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat me now even if I give you a thousand years!"
Yu Ping was not angry. He knew that Long Yun was telling the truth. He really didn't have the slightest talent in martial arts. He couldn't even move his energy and blood as he pleased. How could he compete with others?
Yu Ping is not a competitive person. He yearns more for martial arts. He yearns to be a person who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts. He hopes that he can open up a new world in martial arts in the future or reach a high enough level. This is An ordinary person's dream.
Yu Ping: "Brother Long can of course go further and further in the martial arts, but I just want to go a little further and take a look at the scenery further away, but it's a pity..."
Long Yun's face suddenly stiffened and he said seriously: "You are wrong. In the martial arts, you must have a perception, a perception that no one can change, including yourself!"
Yu Ping asked in confusion: "What is that?"
Long Yun: "You must think in your heart that you are the best in the world. If there is someone you can't beat now, put a sign in front of you to know when you can beat him in the future, and then keep moving forward on this road. Until you defeat him, keep going and remove all the signposts ahead!"
Yu Ping objected very seriously: "Brother Long, I didn't choose martial arts to compete with others, nor do I want to be the best in the world. It's just what I want in my heart, not to compare with others!"
Long Yun patted Yu Ping's shoulder, "The path of martial arts is lonely. Everyone except you is the enemy. This is martial arts. It is a rule determined by heaven. It is not a question of whether you think about it or not. If you want to be on this path, You must abide by this rule as you go down the road. If you don’t want to, don’t choose this path before you get started!”
Yu Ping was silent. He wanted to refute Long Yun but couldn't find a suitable word.
Long Yun continued, "Martial arts is just like this world. It's not a few children chasing each other and saying what you like and what I like. It's a battle between the weak and the strong. If you don't want to, it's better to stay in a safe place. Don’t go around messing with others!”
Seeing Yu Ping's low momentum, Long Yun took the opportunity to persuade him. Since he didn't want to be the best in the world, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business, otherwise his martial arts would definitely become a meal for the strong.
Yu Ping lowered his head and said unwillingly: "I want to enter martial arts, but with my talent there is no way I can be the best in the world, let alone what I can believe in. Isn't this just a fool's errand?"
"Hahaha!"
Long Yun suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Martial arts and life complement each other. In my opinion, there are three points in a person's life that can determine the upper limit and achievements of his martial arts. Guess which three points they are?"
Yu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Hard work and talent?"
Long Yun: "Yes, hard work ranks third. The harder and more diligent you are in practicing martial arts, the more steps you can take in the martial arts!"
"Second, how talented you are determines where your starting point is. Some people spend their entire lives without finding the gate of martial arts. Some people may be in the gate as soon as they are born. Once they know any martial arts moves, they will know it. It won’t take a long, long time to learn. This is the difference between talent and talent. There is no way!” 33
Yu Ping felt very sad. Talent was still more important than hard work, but he was also very happy because...
“So what’s number one?”
Long Yun: "If a person works hard enough and has talent, then he can go a long way on the road of martial arts, but he will not go too far, because talent plus hard work are only ten percent of your achievements in martial arts. One and two are not the decisive factors. But the first point is the most important, far more than talent and hard work!"
Seeing Long Yun's delay in speaking, Yu Ping doubted, "What can surpass talent and hard work? Brother Long couldn't have lied to me just to comfort me, right?"
Long Yun: "I can tell you the answer right now, but this is the same as martial arts. What others tell you and what you experience are very different. When you can think of the answer yourself, then you will truly open the door to martial arts. door!"
Long Yunli ignored Yu Ping's doubts, and he didn't even bother to comfort someone with lies.
Yuping then got lucky, lowered his head and pondered, what could be more important than talent? He really didn't expect that if he didn't know what Long Yun was like, he would have taken it as a joke.
Long Yun turned around and left, giving Yu Ping a space to think and let him think seriously about whether to continue on the path of martial arts.
Since Long Yun's martial arts mastery, Long Mansion has eliminated the inner gates and secret passages. They are no longer needed. Neither Long Yu nor Long Yun likes to cover up what they do. The father and son prefer to do it openly with real swords and guns. .
Liu Wen followed Long Yun. He just heard Yu Ping's helplessness and Long Yun's bold words, and he also had questions in his heart.
"Brother Long, is he really the best in the world?"
"almost!"
"How does it compare to respecting your master back then?"
"I haven't seen you for many years, so I don't know!"
Liu Wen smiled and said: "Since you don't know, why do you think you are the best in the world?"
Long Yun: "If you don't reach my level, you won't understand why I consider myself number one in the world!"
Liu Wen: "You haven't seen the world yet, how do you know your own state?"
Long Yun: "You don't understand martial arts!"
Liu Wen: "I really don't understand, so I have something to ask Brother Long!"
Long Yun: "Oh? Tell me everything you know, and tell me everything!"
Liu Wen: "If martial arts is as difficult as climbing to heaven as Brother Long said, why are all the dragons in the world joining martial arts?"
Long Yun waved his hand, and Liu Wen's blood jumped. A strange feeling made Liu Wen look at Long Yun doubtfully. Long Yun looked at the sky, and Liu Wen also looked up at the clouds in the sky. It seemed to be jumping too.
In an instant, Liu Wen understood, "Haha, that's it. I've been chasing it for half my life, and it turned out to be something I despised before. It's really mysterious!"
Long Yun said calmly: "That's how it is!"
Liu Wen said firmly: "I want to practice martial arts, is it too late now?"
Long Yun: "Guess what is the most critical point in martial arts?"
Liu Wendao: "I don't need to guess, I know, you already had this when you were seven years old!"
Long Yun: "It's too late!"
Liu Wen: "Teach me!"
Long Yun: "Okay!"
This year Liu Wen gave up writing and practicing martial arts and officially changed his name to Liu Wu. His friends Cao Mengyu, Wen Jing and others tried to persuade him for a long time, but they did not change his mind. He lamented that a generation of literary giants was missing in the world.
Martial Arts! God's way!
Some people died, but not completely...
