Early the next morning, before the sun rose, Gu Xifeng was dragged out of the quilt by Uncle Sun. He sat sleepily at the table and began to read poetry.
Xifeng is very smart and has a particularly strong memory. He can basically achieve photographic memory, so Uncle Sun only needs to explain the contents of the book clearly.
Although it saved a lot of effort, it also made the ruler that Uncle Sun had prepared useless. Looking at the formidable ruler, Gu Xifeng was afraid.
"Uncle Sun, if I were stupid, you would really be willing to hit me if I couldn't remember the book." After thinking for a moment, Gu Xifeng finally asked the question in his mind.
"Hit me, why don't you beat me? If you can't memorize the book, you will beat me. If you don't study seriously, you will beat me." Uncle Sun said and hit Xifeng on the back with a ruler.
"Oh, uncle, you really beat me. How can you bear to beat your child?" Gu Xifeng was in pain, covering his back and groaning.
"Xifeng, let me tell you, you have chosen your own path. In the future, whether you are studying literature or martial arts, put away your careless temper."
"Uncle Sun, I understand, be gentler next time, be gentler." Gu Xifeng secretly stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly to Uncle Sun.
"I think it's not heavy enough, and I can still stick out my tongue. I'll try hitting my tongue next time! Ahem." Sun Zheping coughed again because of his excitement.
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, start learning seriously and stop joking." Gu Xifeng shuddered, quickly put away his smile, straightened his back and continued reading.
After morning reading and a sumptuous breakfast prepared by Uncle Lu, Gu Xifeng came to the yard and was surprised to find that the fence of his house had turned into a high brick wall overnight.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Sun, you two haven't slept all night, right?"
"Care about what should be taken care of, and leave alone what shouldn't be taken care of!" Uncle Sun said seriously, pretending to wave the non-existent ruler, which made Gu Xifeng tremble.
"Xifeng, stop talking nonsense. From now on, we will teach you the practice of martial arts. Study it seriously. Only by laying a solid foundation can you reach a high level." Uncle Lu motioned Gu Xifeng to stop talking. Seeing Xifeng nod, he patiently explained. stand up.
"There are many cultivation systems in the world, among which internal cultivation, external body cultivation, Taoist Qi cultivation, and Buddhist Zen cultivation are the most common."
"Each cultivation system can be roughly divided into five stages. The initial state is the simplest. Those who have just started cultivating are all in this stage. The initial state is just for those who have just come into contact with cultivation. There is not much difference in strength from ordinary people. If you fight to the death and be killed by ordinary people, It’s a common thing.”
"The initial states of the four systems of internal, external, Tao, and Buddhism are respectively called Ming Jin, Strengthening, Foundation Building, and Perception."
"As long as you have good qualifications and a good cultivation method, you can quickly enter the second stage of entry level. Only then can you be considered a true cultivator."
"This is a stage where the foundation of cultivation is laid. If the foundation is not laid, the building of cultivation will collapse before it is even high."
"The four systems of entry realm just mentioned are called innate, tempered, practiced, and compassionate."
"It is worth mentioning that the first two realms of the Shi family have no improvement in combat effectiveness. Even in the third realm, they only have some magical powers to protect themselves."
"Then wouldn't it be dangerous for the young monks to encounter the enemy?" Gu Xifeng was a little confused when he heard this.
"The Buddhists advocate peace and will not take action easily if necessary. Monks who have not reached the third level of practicing Buddhist techniques are not allowed to go down the mountain alone."
"Besides, most of the monks also practice body training methods of outsiders. Monks who give up their desires and focus on their cultivation can train their bodies faster than ordinary people."
"So, even if you do meet a young monk, don't underestimate him. You may not be able to beat him."
"Yes, I understand. When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use his full strength. I will not underestimate the enemy." Xiao Xifeng nodded, Zamabu clenched his fists and fired a few straight punches.
"Continue to talk about the next realm. The third realm is called Jinjin. Those who can reach this realm are considered to be one of the best. The cultivators at this time can be considered to have achieved some success. One person can easily defeat a dozen or twenty ordinary young and strong men."
"The states of Jinjing are called external release, blood coagulation, elixir formation, and merit."
"The fourth realm is called Dacheng Realm, also commonly known as the Grand Master Realm. At this realm, even the kings of various countries will treat each other with courtesy, and they are the mainstay of a country. Your Uncle Sun and I were both in this realm before."
"Uncle Sun was before, but now." Xiao Xifeng looked at Sun Zheping sadly.
"Stop your disgusting eyes, I'm doing very well now." Sun Zheping glared at Gu Xifeng dissatisfied.
"Old Sun, stop scaring the children." Lu Zhengliang waved to Sun Zheping and continued to turn to Gu Xifeng.
"Xifeng, your Uncle Sun tried his best to rescue you from the palace, but fell down two realms in a row. Even after three years, you can only reach the Jinjin realm with all your strength, and it will be difficult to step into the Grandmaster realm."
Gu Xifeng's eyes were a little moist, and when he was about to say something, Sun Zheping glared back.
"Lao Lu, keep telling this kid, don't mention the past."
Sun Zheping raised his voice and winked at Lu Zhengliang.
"Okay, okay, let's continue. The Dacheng realms are called Transformation, Marrow Cleansing, Ningying, and Vajra. When you reach the Grandmaster realm, you can already use part of the power of the Tao." As he said that, Lu Zhengliang generated strong energy in his hands, and his inner strength actually It gradually transformed into a kitchen knife, and there was an indescribable magical power on the kitchen knife.
"Is the strange power here the power of Tao?" Gu Xifeng's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.
"Yes, this is the power of Tao, Xifeng. You can feel it so quickly. Yes, it seems that you are in harmony with Tao. In the later stages of practice, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Gu Xifeng scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Now that we have talked about the power of Tao, we can talk about the fifth realm, transforming Tao into sainthood!"
"This is currently recognized as the highest state of cultivation. It is said that reaching the realm of Taoism is more about understanding the Tao. Various systems lead to the same goal through different paths, and the final state is the realm of Taoism."
"In this state, one can transform Tao for one's own use, further master the power of Tao, and possess unpredictable abilities. The biggest difference between saints and ordinary practitioners is that they can fly in the air, and are no longer bound by the earth like immortals."
"In addition to practicing, saints have an even more incredible way to transform the Tao through skills!"
"This technique includes both skills and skills, such as using sword skills to become a saint, using spear skills to become a saint, and also like using painting to become a saint, and using the piano to become a saint."
"Because skills and techniques are so complex, it is not easy to classify them. However, I also divided them into five realms according to other systems, namely skill, imitation, mastery, heavenly craftsmanship, and transformation!"
"As cultivators, we should not only improve our cultivation, but also focus on skill training, which is the use of power."
"Comparing a practitioner to a boat, strength is the oar that pushes the boat forward, and skill is the rudder that controls its direction. If you practice both, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If there is a problem in one aspect, the boat will sink into the sea at any time."
"Technical transformation is an alternative. If you don't practice other systems, you will have no fighting power before transformation. You are just an ordinary person. Once you transform, you will be like a carp entering the dragon gate. Your strength is far superior to that of a master. However, due to lack of combat experience and physical If he is weak, his combat power will be slightly inferior to that of saints from other systems."
"Xifeng, realm is not everything. There are many factors that affect a battle. There are countless examples of the weak defeating the strong. In the future, you must be more cautious against the enemy and never underestimate the enemy."
Gu Xifeng gave another assurance.
In the end, Uncle Sun gave Xifeng a book of internal skills and inner skills for him to understand and gave some guidance. Uncle Lu taught him how to exercise. Obviously, the two of them hoped that Gu Xifeng could train both internally and externally.
