Cao Zhe, who had obtained the Nine Sun Magic Skills, was in no hurry to leave the Shaolin Temple.
For him, Shaolin Temple is really a good novice village.
At this time, there was the Quanzhen Sect outside the Shaolin Temple, claiming the title of the best sect in the world and resisting pressure from all sides.
There are many eminent monks from the forest guarding the temple. Although madmen often break into the temple, the basic foundation is still maintained.
Cao Zhe is in the Shaolin Temple, studying many ancient Buddhist scriptures with Monk Jueyuan, which can be regarded as completing part of the knowledge accumulation and laying a solid foundation for unlocking Zhang Junbao's heaven-defying understanding in the future.
After all, according to the experience accumulated by Cao Zhe from most martial arts novels he read in his previous life, the peerless martial arts in the past are always linked to the three schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, or else they are mixed with the Five Elements of Qimen and Bagua Dunjia.
The reason may be that the so-called practice of martial arts, especially the practice of internal strength, is to condense the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit in a unique way, so as to achieve the point of nourishing life internally and causing harm to others externally.
The three schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism control the spiritual and cultural education of countless people, and countless capable people throughout the ages have devoted their entire lives to it.
Those who came after us borrowed the concepts of their predecessors, opened up avenues, and built martial arts collections, which was equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants. Of course, it was easy to climb to the top and reach a very unusual height.
They are related to each other, just like theoretical physics and practical physics.
But if you abandon these and create something from scratch all by yourself, the difficulty is beyond imagination.
It is not difficult to write a book using existing characters, but if you start from creating characters, the difficulty will be beyond the scope.
With this kind of ideological awareness, Cao Zhe started to study Buddhist classics without any impatience.
For those mysterious and mythical contents, most of them leave as soon as they are touched. Although the emergence of the Ten Thousand Realms Arena seems to have shattered the original three views, and we can no longer firmly deny the existence of immortals, Buddhas and gods, after all, the Condor Heroes is just a low-martial world, and it is impossible to involve immortals and Buddhas even if you think about it. Doing more research will not help at the moment.
As for the contents involving philosophical concepts, the way of heaven and man, the principles of existence, the operation of nature, etc., they are recited repeatedly.
Gradually, I became accustomed to looking at everything in the world from a rather idealistic perspective, gradually reversing the original purely materialistic values.
With Zhang Junbao's understanding, it is almost not difficult to read and understand, not to mention the fact that Monk Jueyuan is patiently giving guidance, which makes Cao Zhe's accumulation progress rapidly.
After about a month of this, Cao Zhe had used his extraordinary understanding, superior memory, and excellent condition to read through a large number of unique and ancient books in the Sutra Pavilion, and kept them in his mind as a knowledge reserve.
The Jiuyang Divine Art has also been cultivated to the second level, and the internal energy penetrates the twelve main meridians. In terms of internal energy alone, it is comparable to many second-rate figures in the world.
As for actually starting to practice martial arts, it's not easy.
The monks in Shaolin Temple are divided into two branches: civil and martial arts. Monk Jueyuan is a literary monk who practices Zen and meditates. As his disciple, Zhang Junbao, even if he is ordained and becomes a monk, follows the tradition, he is still a literary monk and will not be awarded martial arts in the temple.
It is not that the two lines of civil and military affairs cannot be transformed into each other, but they need to be a great monk with a certain status to help with activities.
Although Jue Yuan had been a monk for many years, he was not good at business management and his status in the temple was not high, so it was difficult for him to help Cao Zhe obtain the qualification to practice martial arts.
Unable to practice external skills, Cao Zhe was not in a hurry, so he used his internal strength, and did not get into trouble in a hurry. He chose to secretly learn martial arts in places like Luohan Hall and Demon-Conquering Academy.
Instead, in the Sutra Pavilion, I found several different versions of Wu Qin Xi and Health Exercises and started learning them.
"The so-called external skills are mostly used to sharpen the muscles and bones, activate the qi and blood, and strengthen the body. The further step is to reasonably release the internal qi and combine the power of the muscles, bones, qi and blood to achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two. As for the weapon method, It is also about extending the hands and feet, lengthening the distance, and concentrating the lethality. Although the health-preserving fist and kick movements do not involve offensive methods, the basic roots of the exercise should be consistent with the practice of external skills."
"The Tai Chi created by Zhang Sanfeng when he was 100 years old has been simplified and simplified...hasn't it also become a health-preserving boxing? Since it can be inferred in reverse, it is natural to follow the direction and deduce these health-preserving boxing techniques and moves. There is no way out of Sinochem." Cao Zhe thought to himself.
The reason why Cao Zhe dared to have such an idea was because he believed in his current understanding.
Zhang Junbao in The Legend of the Condor Heroes also received some fragments of Nine Suns and an Iron Arhat containing Arhat Fist. Later, he used the two as the foundation of martial arts and gradually became a great master in the martial arts world.
Although there is no denying that when he subsequently wandered around the world, he must have collected other martial arts, but that was also part of his accumulation.
In essence, there is no essential difference from what Cao Zhe is doing now.
In another half month, Cao Zhe created a set of twelve pictographic postures and a simplified health-preserving version of Tai Chi based on three different sets of health-preserving boxing, combined with a vague understanding of Xingyiquan and Tai Chi in his previous life.
The former imitates the attack postures of twelve kinds of beasts seen, releases the accumulated power, and obtains the superimposed strength of internal force and the power of fists and feet.
Since he has never confirmed it with anyone, Cao Zhe cannot confirm the extent of the twelve pictographic potentials he created.
As for the latter... it's a complete joke.
The principles of Tai Chi are too high. If you really want to turn them into practical martial arts moves, you need to understand and learn a lot of relevant knowledge, and have the foundation and understanding that touches the core. It is not about simulating one or two action forms and knowing some specious things. The formula can be completed perfectly.
However, Cao Zhe is also confident that he can restore the complete form of Tai Chi before this body is at most thirty years old, so as to reach the peak that Zhang Sanfeng could only reach when he was a hundred years old.
After putting Tai Chi on the shelf for the time being, Cao Zhe drew nutrients from the Sutra Pavilion and gradually simplified the twelve pictographic postures into eight methods for subduing demons.
In Buddhism, the Eight Heavenly Dragons are used as its essence, and the pictographic method gradually moves closer to the mythical image.
The eight heavenly dragons mean the eight Buddhist Shinto monsters of heaven, dragon, yaksha, gandharva, asura, garuda, kinnara and mahoraga. Their true appearance is similar to that of beasts and humans. Although Cao Zhe has never seen it After passing the Eight Heavenly Dragons, I have seen some corresponding beasts, such as eagles, snakes, eagles, tigers, etc., half based on reality, half fantasy guessing, using it to calm the pregnant spirit, chopping the palms with fists, and reciting scriptures , strengthen the will and implement the breath.
Between the movements of the fists and feet, the gradually stronger internal force was released, and a bit of atmosphere was formed in the remote place.
Rising and falling vertically and horizontally, there is a faint sound of wind and thunder.
Even if Cao Zhe has never really seen what the best martial arts in this world are like, he only occasionally passes by the monks' training grounds and scratches his claws, but he can still feel it. Although the eight magic methods he created, It is inevitable that there are some basic deficiencies, but it has an outstanding appearance. If the basic parts are completed, it may not be impossible to compete with some superior martial arts in the future.
This kind of effect is not only due to Zhang Junbao's extraordinary understanding, but also due to Cao Zhe's accumulated experience in two generations, as well as his broader vision and imagination.
Even if it were to be restored to Zhang Junbao himself, he would not be able to create such martial arts at such an age due to his age, experience and other reasons.
As he practiced martial arts and Qi, Cao Zhe's body began to develop rapidly.
The demand for nutrients is also gradually increasing.
Although the Nine-Yang Divine Skill can draw the energy of heaven and earth into the body, just like thousands of rivers flowing into the river, and the bright moon shining on the breeze, a breath of true energy is self-sufficient, and there is no need to take medicine to practice Qi like many internal skills. It is considered a magical skill that does not require high resources, but Cao Zhe Studying the eight methods of subduing demons also requires a lot of physical energy, and the little porridge provided by the temple is really not enough.
Cao Zhe gradually began to have the idea of manutaining game in the mountains.
"Chasing game and killing prey requires the use of light skills and hidden weapons... How about I create another light skill and a hidden weapon technique first?" Cao Zhe thought like this, casually simulating it at the same time in his mind Developed a set of exercise routes for the technique of lifting the body lightly, as well as a set of hidden weapon techniques that relied on branches, stones and other objects.
