Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty
Chapter 161: The Knight's Journey Puzzle
Go-getter Moye!
As soon as I saw this portrait, I was immediately overwhelmed by a sense of momentum. The man and woman on the wall seemed to have turned their gazes away at the same time, staring at Lu Chen, holding a pair of long swords that were similar in shape but different in each other, flashing with cold light, giving off a chill.
Gan Jiang and Mo Ye refer to a couple who were good at sword-making in the Spring and Autumn Period. The couple once forged two swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, and presented them to King Helu of Wu.
Lu Chen already had experience facing Xiake Xing, so he was very cautious, and no matter how powerful the opponent was, he still suppressed the internal force in his body.
These stone walls have the effect of transforming a person's inner strength into the illusion of inner essence, energy, and spirit.
This is like a person challenging himself, no matter how strong he is, he cannot escape. However, this other self has the flavor of an ancient swordsman and knight.
If Lu Chen can suppress it, then Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong can naturally do so as well.
Seeing that the three of them were stable, the island master nodded and said, "This is Gan Jiang and Mo Ye. Their swordsmanship is the model of the double swords in Wu. Previously, Jing Ke was a sword for assassination, but Gan Jiang and Mo Ye are swords for cooperation. It is in line with the saying 'Wu Gou is bright in frost and snow'."
Wu Gou is bright in frost and snow. Wu Gou is a nickname for swords from Wu. Since ancient times, Wu has been good at smelting iron, and Gan Jiang and Mo Ye are among the representatives.
Lu Chen nodded. With these two examples, he gradually came to an understanding, "It seems that the creator of The Knight-errant wanted to praise these great ancient knights, and thus gave them extraordinary martial arts and magical powers."
The Dragon Island Lord nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, the real people represented by these images may not know any martial arts or know any martial arts, but they represent a certain spirit, culture, and origin, which are the common ancestors of our contemporary martial artists. The chivalrous journey is this kind of ancestral technique and ancestral method."
The island master also sighed, "I don't know how great this senior who founded the Knight-errant Movement was. Needless to say, his martial arts are profound, and his broad mind and summary of the past and present are something I have never seen in my life."
After hearing this, the three of them nodded.
The chivalrous journey is the source of the martial arts spirit, representing a kind of primitive and simple spirit. This martial art is like a kind of writing of the history of martial arts, no wonder it is called "the journey of the chivalrous journey".
Lu Chen felt that something was not right. "So, as long as we pass the levels one by one and experience the 'spirit of warriors', we can inherit the chivalrous spirit?"
The Dragon Island Lord said as a matter of course, "Of course it is. Unfortunately, the chivalrous journey has nothing to do with skill, but only with the acceptance and understanding of the spiritual principles of the warrior. An image is like a difficult hurdle in life. If you can't break it, even if you have great skill, it is difficult to learn this martial art."
Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong also nodded in agreement, but Lu Chen frowned and secretly thought about other possibilities.
According to his experience, Zongwu Time and Space is similar to the original work but not the same, but generally speaking there are some comparable relationships and clues.
In the puzzle of The Knight's Path, the clue is that the owner of Longmu Island has completely wrong understanding, and the answer lies somewhere else.
However, what Lu Chen can be sure of is that Xiake Xing is not something that an illiterate person can decipher.
Lu Chen's essence, energy and spirit are now completely integrated into one. He has reached a state where he can do whatever he wants, remember whatever he wants to remember, and forget whatever he wants to forget.
Just now, Lu Chen gave an order in his mind to temporarily forget the meaning of the text. He looked at it again and tried to interpret these images as sword techniques and knife moves, but found that it was useless and he couldn't make any sense.
It seems that even if Shi Potian wants to crack The Swordsman, he has to use another method.
The few of them continued walking, passing these stone walls one by one, and met Mei Jianchi, Yao Li, Zhuan Zhu, Nie Zheng, Guo Jie, Hou Ying, Zhu Hai, Ji Bu, Lu Zhonglian and even Mo Zi... and many other famous knights throughout the ages.
From them, we can also see all kinds of precious warrior spirits, such as not caring about life and death, valuing promises, seeking truth without regrets, resisting power, being fair and just, being brave and resourceful, valuing friendship and loyalty, and being proud of the superiors and protecting the inferiors...
Looking at this journey, Lu Chen seemed to have experienced a spiritual cleansing.
He vaguely understood something.
The Dragon Island Lord said, "Since you have read the twenty-four pictures of The Knight-errant, you should choose a picture and comprehend it yourself. If you can pass it, then go find the second picture. If you have the chance to understand all twenty-four pictures, my two brothers will have no regrets in this life."
Island Master Mu also nodded and said, "That's right. As long as we learn these images, we will be able to understand the spirit of chivalry. By then, even if we are not immortals on earth, we will be close. When we go out and travel around, if there is any injustice in the world, we can use our sword to eliminate it. In the final analysis, this is also for the peace of the world."
He looked at the three people again and smiled, "After you have experienced the profoundness of the chivalrous journey, you will surely understand why the two of us brothers are willing to spend our entire lives studying the classics on this deserted island overseas. This is completely worth it."
Huang Yaoshi, who never liked to agree with others, nodded and said sincerely, "That's right. The martial arts developed in each of these images are profound and mysterious, and are not inferior to what I have learned in my life. There are as many as twenty-four such martial arts, which shows that they are very powerful. If you can understand them all, you can do anything."
Zhou Botong also shouted loudly, with an expression of great respect on his face, "The martial arts secrets I saw from those pictures are beyond the reach of even Senior Brother. Once it pointed out, I was inspired to think about a lot of things. There are many things that Senior Brother failed to explain to me, but it actually hit the nail on the head."
"Could it be that the creator of this chivalrous journey is a more powerful person than my senior brother!? Haha, it must be so. It is omnipotent and has a high level of cultivation. No one in the world can compare to it."
No, that's not right.
After listening to what they said, Lu Chen instinctively wanted to refute, but for a moment, he couldn't organize his thoughts, so he kept silent.
Even deep down in his heart, he believed what the few people said, but he had a strange feeling that something was wrong.
Next, the Lord of Longmu Island went to observe several of his own images.
When Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong had just looked at the pictures, they also had some more confident ideas about how to act like a knight. They felt that their martial arts were more capable of restraining those ancient knights, and they could still win even if their skills were equal.
They felt that the Knight-errant Journey was extremely profound, and they were attracted to it at first sight. They felt like a cat was scratching their hearts, and they were eager to challenge it.
Having reached this level, who wouldn’t want to reach a higher level?
Once they pass a painting wall, they can gain a lot of martial arts experience, which, in their opinion, is even more vast than what they have learned and known in their entire lives.
Zhou Botong even felt that a few portraits could bring him more benefits than Wang Chongyang's guidance.
But how is this possible?
Lu Chen sat down cross-legged and thought carefully, using not his own heart, but the sea of his heart.
Only then did I discover something incredible.
Even if the immortal on earth who created “Ode to a Knight-errant” had higher cultivation than Wang Chongyang, “Ode to a Knight-errant” was just a fortune seized by the immortal on earth. How could it give Zhou Botong such a feeling?
Moreover, this is only one of the images. If there are 24 images, wouldn't that mean there are 24 Wang Chongyangs? This is simply impossible.
Except, that feeling is simply wrong.
Lu Chen also felt that if he could pass the tests given by these images, he would gain a lot.
But there was also a strange feeling, like a dream, lingering around him, telling him that there was a crisis lurking in this feeling.
Both are feelings, what should I believe?
Lu Chen began to think and comprehend.
He went straight into the sea of his heart.
What makes him different from other people is that he can use his subconscious mind to comprehend everything he sees.
This realization helped Lu Chen that day, and he accomplished many things that were considered amazing by others.
And now, after the Great Trinity, the power in his mind has risen and changed, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and now it will never stop at his subconscious mind.
Even the consciousness of one's self in other time and space can realize what one sees and knows.
This kind of realization can lead to an objective reality that no one else can achieve, because the experiences of Lu Chen in different time and space are simply vast.
Some are Lu Chen as a teacher, some are Lu Chen as a beggar, some are Lu Chen as the captain of a starship in the future, and some are Lu Chen as a chief in ancient times... Different Lu Chens all had dreams at the same time, and they realized these twenty-four scenes of the Knight's Journey in their dreams.
Their minds, abilities, and understandings were all utilized by the Lu Chen of the Zongwu World. It was like one Lu Chen shouted, and thousands of Lu Chen came to help.
Of course, this kind of help is extremely subtle, between existence and non-existence, reality and illusion, and between sensibility and rationality.
For many Lu Chens, it was just a sudden inspiration.
For example, Lu Chen, a white-collar worker, was sitting at his workstation, looking at his computer, when he suddenly thought of the novel "A Knight-Errant" that he had read. He inexplicably forgot about his work, family, and career, and kept thinking about it.
There was also a student named Lu Chen, who started to daydream during class. He forgot to study and started thinking about what he would be able to do if he knew martial arts.
In this case, Lu Chen can abandon the influence of feelings.
A multiverse mental network is spreading out. …
In the process of this realization, Lu Chen gradually woke up.
Because when I am constantly passing on my experience to my parallel self, I can see different Lu Chens and have completely different experiences.
For example, white-collar worker Lu Chen actually felt that these twenty-four pictures could help him understand office politics and greatly enhance his ability to guess his superiors' intentions and to pretend to obey but actually disobey their orders, and he would be able to climb up the ladder soon.
For example, the student Lu Chen felt that he had learned the twenty-four drawings and did not need to sleep, and then his gaming talent was awakened, and he became a professional player who was invincible.
What’s strange is that why a student’s talent for gaming is not awakened in his study talent?
In any case, Lu Chen went through various selves and found that the twenty-four pictures can really be applied to thousands of professions, and anyone can have the feeling of finding their true self in them.
——But it’s just a feeling.
The reality is that their talents have not improved.
Some Lu Chen were full of confidence, but they found that they hit a wall and got beaten to a bloody pulp, and it didn't work at all.
However, there are also some Lu Chens who have improved their self-confidence and have come to an unfamiliar but desirable field. They have been able to adapt themselves to it with difficulty and have lived a happy and fulfilling life ever since.
But without exception, they were all fascinated by the Twenty-Four Pictures.
He even saw some traces in his dreams, and in reality, he drew out the twenty-four pictures and moved them before his eyes, guarding and contemplating them day and night.
However, throughout their lives, they will never be able to see the authentic Twenty-Four Diagrams of the Knight-errant, nor will they be able to look like the Lord of Longmu Island, Huang Yaoshi, and Zhou Botong.
While making these observations, Lu Chen gradually understood the meaning of the Twenty-Four Diagrams of The Knight-errant.
If the Great Compassion Ode to the Interaction of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth is the artificial intelligence of martial arts, then this thing is the...addiction of martial arts.
What are the twenty-four pictures? The opponents in each picture are indeed difficult to deal with, but they are just superficial puzzles used to confuse people's minds.
The real magic of these images lies not in the martial arts secrets they contain, but in the fact that they convey a false sense of superstition.
What it is born with is not some ability to make people suddenly realize their supernatural powers, but a magic that fascinates people.
All the feelings that one can gain progress by comprehending images are completely false and do not bring any real benefit.
This false feeling even fooled grandmasters and master-level figures like Longmu Island Master, Huang Yaoshi, and Zhou Botong.
The martial arts skills of the Lord of Longmu Island have absolutely nothing to do with the Twenty-Four Diagrams of The Knight-errant. They were only trying to get to the top and lost themselves. They didn't make any progress in many years, and it was what they deserved.
If you cannot comprehend this, you will always be bound by the path of chivalry.
Once you are bound, it will be bad.
The so-called heroes break the law with force. In other words, heroes are the least bound beings.
The freest.
The happiest.
If you put the progress of your own cultivation above other things, you will never have this kind of free and easy state of mind.
This is completely contrary to the intention of the creator.
However, this does not mean that the Twenty-Four Illustrations of The Knight-errant have no real substance.
Lu Chen peeled off the surface meaning and discovered that "Xia Ke Xing" was still a very precious martial arts secret book, but the way of revealing the secret book was completely different from what the two island masters, Long Mu, believed.
He suddenly realized, and a wave of ideas rose in his mind.
"It turns out that the immortal on earth who created this skill wanted to break through all constraints. So the test he set was to let his secret book become a wall and rope in the heart of the warrior, restricting his hands and feet and preventing him from using his skills."
"The knights in those images certainly symbolize the image of ancient knights, but how can we say that fighting and defeating them is inheriting the spirit of warriors?"
"Among the warriors and heroes, there are many losers. They were humiliated, caught, and killed. Could it be that those overlords and heroes who defeated them can also gain their recognition?"
"People like Yu Rang and Jing Ke tried to carry out assassinations but never succeeded. However, their stories were recorded and praised by people."
“So, the importance of a knight-errant is not about winning or losing at a certain moment, or being brave and aggressive.”
"The spirit that the Knight-errant Journey really wants to convey comes from the heart, originates from thoughts, rises from the past, and ends at the feet."
"So, the real knight's journey of the twenty-four pictures is to use your own life to practice the things in the twenty-four pictures, and then get the recognition of the twenty-four chivalrous spirits. This kind of recognition is not a fight, but a discussion."
"Am I a knight?"
“Am I bullying the weak by doing what I do?”
"What promises did I make that I didn't fulfill? I failed to live up to the kindness of others."
"Do I have any..."
Lu Chen asked himself questions, one by one, deep in his heart. Then, one by one, where he did right and where he did wrong, all came to his mind clearly.
For the next few days, he neither ate nor drank, but sat cross-legged in front of the wall with one of the twenty-four pictures in The Knight's Journey.
Occasionally, the owner of Longmu Island, Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong passed by here and found Lu Chen sitting here, but he did not escape into the illusion and fought fiercely with the knight.
They all shook their heads and said, "Alas, he is so young and doesn't know the secrets of martial arts. He is actually wasting his life. He doesn't need to be on the journey of chivalry."
"I hope he will come to his senses in the future and not waste his life on other things."
"Yes, you must always comprehend the Way of the Knight."
"Without the Knight-errant Way, we simply cannot break through. On the other hand, once we comprehend the Knight-errant Way, we will immediately become earthly immortals."
……
At this time, outside the Xiake Island, a ship came from afar, stepping on the white waves and facing the scenery.
Gong Jiu squinted his eyes, standing at the bow, looking into the distance, with a black-robed man beside him. After him, it was Yuan Suiyun, Hong Antong and the others.
Gong Jiu smiled slightly, "The knights practice magic. I heard from the old man that this martial art contains deep meanings. We must ask with our hearts and understand the spirit of the knights. Otherwise, we will only be deeply trapped in it. Logically speaking, this martial art is destined to be out of our reach."
But he turned his head and looked at the black-robed man beside him, "However, the Great Compassion of Yin and Yang in the Heaven and Earth can restrain this kind of martial arts. In martial arts, you are the king. You are not a human at all, but you can transform your mind and truly transform into another person."
The black-robed man nodded. "Of course, I am also a combination of countless individuals from ancient times to the present. There are many righteous people among them, but once they practice the Great Compassion of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, even the most pure-hearted knight will be devoured by me. Therefore, I am the only person in the world who is not a knight, but can break the knight's magical power."
Gong Jiu nodded, "However, you can't master this martial art, because martial arts is you, and any martial arts are the same as you, so even if you crack it, you can't master it. In the end, it's only right to teach the martial arts to me."
The black-robed man said, "Of course, this is also my reward for handing Mu Dao Ren over to me."
He sighed again, "It's a pity that I can only achieve one extinction, but not two emptiness. It seems that the road of martial arts is not a smooth road for me. I can't become stronger by constantly devouring powerful warriors. I also need to transform and comprehend myself."
Gong Jiu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "This is the best, otherwise I wouldn't dare to cooperate with you. This is the truth."
The man in black robe, Gongzi Yu, smiled slightly, "I like your truth." (End of this chapter)
