Make up exercises, disciple, have you really mastered them?

Chapter 20: Golden bones are not in the eyes of the master, I want to make them into jade bones
Li Xuan didn't know that Xu Yan had already tempered the golden bones he had made up, and was coming over excitedly to tell him that he wanted to get praise and recognition.

At this moment, Li Xuan was playing with the gift Xu Yan gave him last time, a golden sword and jade wishful thinking.

The golden sword is inlaid with orbs, made entirely of gold, and is extremely valuable.

Yu Ruyi is carved with patterns of auspicious clouds, and her body is flawless. At first glance, it is carved from top-quality jade. In terms of value, it is probably higher than the golden sword.

"Although this golden sword is not cheap, no matter how I look at it, I think Yu Ruyi is more valuable and rare.

"Look at the texture of this jade. It's flawless and crystal clear. It feels warm and moist when you touch it in your hand... I like this jade Ruyi better than the golden sword.

"If you can get a pair together as a family heirloom, that would be great.

"I lied to you anyway, so I don't care, let's lie to Yu Ruyi again?"

Li Xuan played with Yu Ruyi, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

I muttered in my heart and asked my silly apprentice to find another piece of jade Ruyi to make a pair as a family heirloom.

Just in time, Xu Yan walked over.

"Disciple, you came just in time."

Li Xuan pulled the golden sword aside, as if he was a little disgusted, and played with Yu Ruyi in his hand, his eyes full of love for Yu Ruyi.

"Look at this Ruyi jade, which is flawless, gentle and nourishing. As the saying goes, a gentleman likes jade, and a teacher also likes jade. It would be great if we could get a pair of these jade Ruyi."

Looking up at Xu Yan, he said, "Disciple, do you understand?"

I thought to myself: Let me find another jade Ruyi for my teacher.

Xu Yan came to tell his master excitedly that he had forged a golden bone, comparable to the ancient arrogance.

In the end, seeing that Li Xuan was a little disgusted, he pulled the golden sword aside and played with Yu Ruyi in his hand.

Said in the mouth, the gentleman likes jade, and hopes that Yu Ruyi can make a pair.

Xu Yan thought to himself, next time I go home, I will find another jade ruyi for Master.

But suddenly my heart skipped a beat: "No! How could Master tell me at this time that he likes jade?"

"Master's words must have a deeper meaning...

"I understand, Master has high expectations for me and hopes that I can make jade bones, so I use jade as a metaphor. Compared to gold bones, Master prefers jade bones!

"But Master was afraid that I would not be able to accept the difficulty of tempering jade bones, so he used the metaphor of Yu Ruyi to remind me that if I can't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master will no longer be demanding...

"In this way, even though Master doesn't say anything, he must be disappointed in me in his heart. If I can't understand the deep meaning of Master's words, Master's expectations of me will also be lowered. He thinks that my understanding is not enough, and even such a simple metaphor is not enough. not understand!"

Xu Yan thought for a moment and realized that the master wanted to gather a pair of jade bones, but in fact he wanted him to continue refining bones, not to give up, not to back down, and to work hard to make jade bones.

If Li Xuan knew his brain supplements, he would definitely look confused: I just want Yu Ruyi!

After Xu Yan made up his mind, he thought he had understood the deep meaning of the master's words, and said with a firm gaze: "Master, this disciple understands, and I will definitely not let you down!"

Li Xuan showed a satisfied smile: "It's good that you can understand, I believe in you as a teacher!"

Xu Yan was deeply moved: "Master has extremely high expectations for me, this is to hope that I can surpass the ancient arrogance!"

"What are golden bones, I want to refine them into jade bones!"

Xu Yan didn't mention the matter of his golden bones anymore, the master has already seen everything, and the mere golden bones can't get into the master's eyes!
Practicing again, wanting to continue bone refining, Xu Yan found that no matter how he circulated his energy and blood, no matter how he tempered it, it would have no effect.

It seems that the golden bone is already the limit.

It seems that there is an insurmountable moat, blocking the continuous improvement. "Master said that jade bones cannot be made by talent, perseverance, or persistence. Those who can become jade bones must either have great luck, be the darling of heaven and earth, or have transcendent understanding and be able to sense the great truth..."

Xu Yan pondered: "I don't know if I have great luck, maybe I don't; the darling of heaven and earth, it's even more impossible, then there is only one way, and that is understanding...

"Master often said that emphasizing the mind and re-enlightenment is to let me think that my understanding is not bad, and to remind me of my own strengths.

"I want to refine the jade bone, the only way is to rely on understanding."

After figuring it out, Xu Yan's mind reappeared those two exercises, "Look at me with a clear mind and nourish my true meaning, and my energy and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body."

"I definitely haven't fully realized it. If I can understand the core of these two exercises, will I be able to break the shackles of the golden bone and temper the jade bone?"

Xu Yan put his whole body and soul into the exercises, without any distracting thoughts in his mind, he threw away everything, and forgot both things and himself, wanting to feel the deep meaning in it.

"By the way, nourishing the true meaning, I think that if the qi and blood are stored in the bones and the bone marrow, it is the nourishing of the true meaning, but where is the 'meaning'?

"Cultivating bone marrow is just an introduction, and there is no intention to cultivate it."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Yan's mind, and he found that he had made a mistake about the meaning of cultivating the true meaning in the formula.

I never cultivated my true intentions.

It's not even clear what 'meaning' is.

"Qi and blood are like a dragon casting a golden body. When I refined the gold bones, the qi and blood that circulated were really like a dragon? It was just empty, and it had no appearance. How could it be considered a dragon with no energy and blood?" What about Shanglong?"

In a daze, Xu Yan felt as if he had touched a barrier.

It only needs to break through this barrier, and one can thoroughly understand the art, break through the shackles of the golden bone, and enter the stage of the jade bone.

However, this barrier can never be broken.

He became a little distressed for a while.

"Do you want to ask Master?
"No, Master has already taught it very clearly. The meaning of 'meaning' can only be comprehended by oneself, but cannot be clearly stated. I must have missed something..."

For the next three days, when Xu Yan was practicing, he kept comprehending the kung fu, and always wanted to realize the "true meaning", but he was often only a little bit short.

It is still impossible to break through the barrier and understand the essence of it.

Li Xuan looked at his stupid apprentice with some doubts. In the past three days, the stupid apprentice seemed to be a little distracted, and occasionally lost his mind.

"It's been so long and you haven't gained anything, so you're at a loss? Do you think you can't do it anymore?"

"I haven't gotten my jade Ruyi yet, how can I stay depressed?"

"Let me think about how to make up some mysterious words to fool him."

Li Xuan fell into deep thought.

On this day, after eating, when Xu Yan was about to clean up the dishes, Li Xuan said: "Persistence is essential throughout the journey of cultivation. If you find that you have encountered a bottleneck and you have not made any progress, you can relax and let go." Thinking, to understand every plant and tree.

"To comprehend the nature of the world, to capture the hidden ideas around you, if you can suddenly realize it, the door to martial arts will be opened.

"Throughout the ages, there are many people who have never made progress in their cultivation, and those who are stuck in the bottleneck and cannot break through, and those who break through the shackles because of an epiphany."

Li Xuan opened his eyes and talked nonsense, and tricked Xu Yan to realize the so-called inspiration. If he could realize it, he would be able to step into the gate of martial arts.

Since self-cultivation is not enough, then go to epiphany.
