Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

In the Meng River, a small boat was like a loose crossbow arrow, moving down the river at an extremely fast speed.

After the mist between heaven and earth rises in autumn, it gradually dissipates, revealing a clear and bright scene.

The river flows eastward, and the green mountains on both sides of the river pass by.

The water surface is shimmering, the autumn air is crisp, and the sun is scorching.

Even in the morning, when the sun shines on people's bodies, it is still scorching.

Fortunately, the wind on the river is strong and the autumn breeze brings coolness, allowing people to stand on the boat and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

With fluttering clothes, Chu Tang and Zeng Qi stood side by side on the boat.

Zeng Qi had nothing to gain and looked at the river with his hands behind his back.

Chu Tang was carrying a wooden box with three weapons inserted on it.

This combination looks very strange.

Chu Tang glanced at Zeng Qi from time to time. He had been curious for a long time. He was obviously a well-known swordsman, but he had never seen him carrying a sword while walking around.

Where are you hiding?
Could it be that like Tang Yue, he also used a soft sword and wrapped his belt around him on the spot?
But no matter how he looked, there was no sign of a hidden sword.

Chu Tang recalled the confrontation between Zeng Qi and Tang Jianyuan. Both of them were bare-handed that day, but Tang Jianyuan said that he had learned his sword skills.

Chu Tang couldn't help but wonder: "Is it possible that when you reach the eighth realm, you don't need to rely on divine weapons and can only use your spirit or momentum to send out sword power?"

It's wrong to think about it. If this is really the case, then why are people in the world working so hard to create eighth-grade and ninth-grade magic weapons?
Chu Tang, who had been thinking about it for many days but couldn't figure it out, could no longer hold back his curiosity when he was alone with Zeng Qi.

Looking at the boatman driving the oars at the stern, Chu Tang coughed lightly and asked: "Senior Zeng, Master Tingfeng said you are a swordsman, but I have never seen you carrying a sword. Could it be that I practice finger fencing?"

Zeng Qi turned his head and asked curiously: "What is a finger sword?"

Chu Tang was stunned for a while. There is no such thing as pointing a sword in this world?

What about the Six Meridians Divine Sword that he longed for?
Therefore, although he did not redeem the Six Meridians Divine Sword from the panel, Chu Tang still explained its principles based on his own knowledge.

After hearing this, Zeng Qi sneered: "Point to the Gang, just point to the Gang, why are you referring to the sword?"

"Ah? Is it just a pointing finger?" Chu Tang was greatly surprised.

Zeng Qi thought for a while and said: "The warriors in the middle three realms can release their Gang Qi. This Gang Qi is the external form of internal Qi, which is related to the mental method of martial arts practice. Those who practice swords can condense it into sword gang; If you use it, you can form a sword; fists, palms, spears...etc. are all like this.

"Why do we say that they are related to the mind, and there can be no exception? Because that is the embodiment of martial arts in people, and this relationship is closely related to the upper three realms. When you reach this realm, you must be familiar with Shi? What is Shi? That is the performance between heaven and earth after the integration of martial arts with human body and spirit.

"The force of the sword is the force of the sword, but it cannot be transformed into the force of the sword; the force of the fist is the force of the fist, but it cannot be transformed into the force of a weapon. In the same way, the Zhigang is the Zhigang, how can it be said to be the sword's force?"

Chu Tang couldn't understand it.

To be honest, his martial arts realm is more directly inspired by the panel. After many battles, he may have his own understanding, but his knowledge of martial arts is indeed not as good as that of the experts in this world.

I only heard Zeng Qi say again: "The sword you are talking about may incorporate some sword skills and shapes, but it is definitely not a sword skill. It is just a sword as sharp as a sword."

Chu Tang nodded slightly, half convinced.

Zeng Qi turned his head and looked at Chu Tang for a few times, and his eyes stayed on the box behind him for a long time. He suddenly sighed and said: "Chu Tang, actually there are some things that I shouldn't say to you, but I see that you are a I don’t want you to go astray, so I have to speak on behalf of your master.”

"Senior means..."

Zeng Qi said with an incomprehensible expression: "The martial arts you practice are too complicated! Look at the box on your back. There are knives, swords, and things that look like knives and swords. Aren't you greedy for more?"

Chu Tang opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. He couldn't explain the cheats and adventures on his body.

Zeng Qiyouyou said: "Practicing martial arts is like raising a dog. If you are good to it, it will be devoted to you. If you raise many dogs, your feelings for them will be much weaker. It's a dog It doesn’t matter, at least it’s the same kind, so it won’t cause disorder, but if you raise a dog, you also raise a cat, a cow, a snake…don’t talk about them, I’m afraid you’ll be completely messed up!”

Chu Tang still couldn't argue.

Zeng Qi pointed to the box behind Chu Tang and said: "You are both a knife and a sword. Which one are you loyal to? Only if you are true to the sword can the sword be true to you. You can't chew more than you can chew. Has no one ever told you?"

Chu Tang could only smile bitterly.

Zeng Qi seemed to be deep in thought, and spoke more and more: "Once, when I was young, there was a man about my age in Nanhai. At that time, he was more famous than me, and he was praised by others for decades. A new martial arts genius.

"At just over 20 years old, he claims to be proficient in 36 martial arts, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, fists, palms, and legs. He knows everything, and he has mastered all of them, which shocked the world. Everyone thinks that his martial arts talent is unprecedented and will surely Achieve something.

"Before the Sixth Realm, he almost swept through the younger generation of the Nanhai Wulin. No one was his opponent, even my reputation was inferior to him. However, I entered the Seventh Realm before him and understood the power of the Upper Three Realms. Yes. In this regard, he is a few years behind me.

"Now, more than ten years have passed, and I have almost reached the perfection of the eighth realm and have captured the threshold of the ninth realm. Where is he? Still stuck at the seventh realm! Is his talent not enough? No! He is still talented! It's him Not enough stamina? No! His skills are getting deeper and deeper!

"Moreover, the martial arts he knows are becoming more and more sophisticated, and his moves are becoming more and more skillful. When fighting against others, his moves are still dazzling and confusing. You can't say that he has regressed, but the gap between him and me is getting bigger and bigger. It’s getting bigger! Tell me, why?

Chu Tang thought for a moment and said: "The more martial arts he knows, the more he can't make a choice. He doesn't know which martial arts he should use to understand the power?"

Zeng Qi was surprised: "You already know this truth, why do you still want to fight for the reputation of being a master of both swords and swords? Either a sword or a sword, this is the ultimate martial arts!"

Chu Tang responded with silence, saying that this was not a choice he could make, it was all given randomly by the panel.Chu Tang has always believed in the power of the panel. He vaguely felt that as long as the time came, he would be able to break through to the Seventh Realm in one fell swoop without being as stuck as others.

Zeng Qi stared closely into Chu Tang's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Chu Tang, although there are few young people like you, I haven't seen you before. You... Sigh! You should choose carefully when talking about friendship. "

Chu Tang said: "It is the junior's honor to be taught by seniors. Thank you seniors for your love!"

Zeng Qi sighed: "I just don't want you to follow in the footsteps of that genius. Because I found that in addition to swords, you are also good at palm skills. I am afraid that you will be distracted and unable to deduce martial arts to the extreme. Really, the more The closer you get to the Seventh Realm, the more important it is whether you are pious or not. Because the potential is realized by the heart, it is a moment of inspiration, and it is the crystallization of a certain moment of the spirit. If you have too many ideas, you will not be able to realize the potential."

Chu Tang still thanked him and said that he understood and would think about it carefully.

He can't say that his martial arts skills were obtained without spending time and effort.

Zeng Qi was not sure whether Chu Tang had really understood it. He thought about it and said, "You are much inferior to Zhou Jue in this aspect. His devotion to the sword is something I have only seen in my life. His future is limitless."

Chu Tang heard the other party's rhetoric, smiled, and said: "What the senior said is absolutely true. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe if my middle path collapses, I will naturally die." Eliminate it, it’s all over.”

Hearing this, Zeng Qi thought of Chu Tang's current situation and immediately said, "With Zeng here, I can naturally bring you to the South China Sea safely."

"Senior, are there many pirates in the South China Sea?" Chu Tang suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Zeng Qi was stunned for a while.

Chu Tang said: "What this junior means is, are there many people committing crimes over there?"

Zeng Qi shook his head and said: "The South China Sea is full of sea water, with occasional islands. Most of the people on the islands are fishermen. The folk customs are simple and simple. Chickens and dogs can hear each other and live in peace. Of course, the larger islands have more people. , naturally it becomes a river and lake, and occasional disputes are inevitable."

Chu Tang asked again: "Are there many sects?"

"There are not many sects, and most of them are just amateurs. However, the masters get along well with each other because there are few people and they don't have so many interests."

"Ah?" Chu Tang was even more surprised.

"What's wrong?" Zeng Qi asked.

Chu Tang hesitated and said, "This junior is considering whether to go to the South China Sea."

"Why don't you go?" Zeng Qi was a little angry, "I promised Feng Jianqi that I would take you safely to the South China Sea to avoid trouble. I made a good promise before, how could you go back on your word?"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly. Could he say that if there weren't many people committing crimes and committing crimes, there wouldn't be much opportunity for him to earn chivalrous points?
After thinking about it, Chu Tang found a reason: "We just boarded the ship at the dock. Although we tried our best to avoid other people's eyes and ears, if someone wants to investigate, our identity and route of travel cannot be escaped. Anyone who cares should pay attention. If nothing else, these two boatmen are hired by us. When they say goodbye to their families, will they not tell their destination? "

Zeng Qi disagreed: "So what if we know we are going to Shanjiang County? Shanjiang County is so big and the Meng River is so long. Who can know where we will disembark? At which point and when we will disembark, it all depends on our wishes, even if we If we don’t know the exact location ourselves, how can others predict it? Even if we find out later, we will still be one step behind and we will never be able to catch up!"

Chu Tang was not so optimistic: "Tang Jianyuan is not that simple! Zhou Ziyu hinted to the juniors that Tang Jianyuan has unimaginable power from Mengjun to Nanhai. Now that he has the realm-breaking magic pill, once he breaks through to the ninth realm, I am afraid that the seniors will not be the same. rival."

Zeng Qi was angry: "Are you afraid that I can't protect you?"

Chu Tang shook his head and said: "The junior does not want to implicate the senior."

Zeng Qi said proudly: "There are many things that Mr. Zeng is proud of in this life. The one I am most proud of is that I am not afraid of death! I am not called the Crazy Sword Scholar for nothing!"

Chu Tang expressed his doubts. As soon as you, the great swordsman, heard that Luo Changying had become a master of the Nine Realms, he immediately turned around and returned to his home. He lost the confidence to challenge. He was as cowardly as Chu. How dare you say this now? Big talk!

Zeng Qi saw Chu Tang's confused eyes and suppressed his anger and said: "Chu Tang, I'm not afraid to tell you that I am actually skeptical about that bullshit Realm-Breaking Divine Pill!"

Chu Tang frowned and said, "Senior, do you think the Realm-Breaking Divine Pill is a scam? It doesn't have the effect of letting people break through the Nine Realms? But whether it is Tang Jianyuan or Zhou Ziyu, they all swear by this pill when they talk about it. It shows that they really don't believe it. suspect."

Zeng Qi shook his head slightly and said: "Maybe the elixir really has this effect. But don't think about the nine realms too simply. The eight realms and the seven realms can be discussed together. Some people can beat the eight realms with the seven realms. The Swordsman of the East China Sea and the Sword of Luoying are examples.

"However, there is a world of difference between the Nine Realms and the Eight Realms. One is in the sky and the other is on the earth. The Eight Realms are not comparable to the Nine Realms. This is why, as arrogant as I am, I dare not go to Luo Chang now. Ying’s tiger beard!”

Chu Tang was surprised and asked: "Senior, what is the Nine Realms and what is its power?"

He was very curious about this.

No one has ever told him what the Nine Realms are, but when everyone talks about the Nine Realms, they all say that this realm is invincible and is the most top existence in the world.

"Nine realms..." Zeng Qi showed a fascination on his face, "We divided the martial arts realm into nine realms. In fact, we have wronged the masters of the nine realms."

"Aggrieved?" This was the first time Chu Tang heard this statement.

Zeng Qi said: "The lower three realms of Qi training are compared with the strength; the middle three realms of condensation are based on who has the deepest and longer Gang Qi; the upper three realms of enlightenment, the seventh and eighth realms are based on whose spirit The scope of influence can be larger and wider.

"Of course, the Nine Realms can suppress the spirit the most. However, it is not just a battle of spirits. It should be said that the Nine Realms combine the human body and spirit to the most ideal state. The soul and flesh are blended. It can blend with all things in heaven and earth, and truly is the unity of heaven and man, the supreme being in the world!”

"Unity of man and nature? The supreme being on earth..." Chu Tang was greatly moved and murmured to himself.

He seemed to remember something - when he was immersed in the higher martial arts on the panel, whether it was flying immortals, drawing swords, or death swordsmanship, he could feel that his mind was empty, as if it was fused with something.

That is potential, and it is also the realm of the Seven Realms!
From this point of view, starting from the Seventh Realm is a process of pursuing the unity of heaven and man. Only when the Ninth Realm is reached, the soul and body are as one, can it be considered a complete success.

"Yes, heaven and man are one!" Zeng Qi gradually became excited, "In fact, the nine realms can be said to be the realm of heaven and man! What heaven and man are, is that they have broken away from the conventions of mortals! The seven realms and eight realms are still mortals Only the realm of heaven and humans can be regarded as a form of transcendence."

Chu Tang said that although he didn't understand, he was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Does this have anything to do with Tang Jianyuan and the Realm-Breaking Divine Pill?" (End of Chapter)
