Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 3 Spiritual Spirit, Journey to the West

Lu Chen sat cross-legged in front of Qiu Chuji and listened attentively.

Qiu Chuji also showed his teacher style, sat upright and said leisurely, "The way of martial arts can be roughly divided into three paths: essence, qi, and spirit. The Quanzhen theory of my sect is to move forward with all the essence, all qi, and all the spirit. Completely true.”

When these words fell into Lu Chen's ears, they were naturally translated into three words: matter, energy, and spirit. The Quanzhen Sect was regarded as a hexagonal warrior and nodded repeatedly.

"As for the realm of martial arts, it can be roughly divided into four realms: acquired, minor innate, major three, and land gods. Among them, acquired warriors continue the official system and are divided into nine levels, with nine being humble and one being respected."

Qiu Chuji said, "It's a pity that the poor Taoist has only reached the small innate level in Qi training and Shen refining, but has stopped at the first level in Jingjing. It lacks the essence of Quanzhen Taoism."

"And in the acquired stage, among the enemies of the same level, masters who use refining - also known as body refining, are often the most prominent. Most of them are powerful figures who charge into battle on the battlefield. Look at my methods."

Qiu Chuji stood up, walked to a carved pillar, stretched out a finger, and pressed it gently.

Then he started to write without using much force, but it seemed to be pressed against mud or tofu, making every inch of it dented, with stone chips flying everywhere he passed, and in a short while he wrote four lines of large characters.

The first line contains seven single characters, skin, flesh, tendons, bones, organs, blood, and marrow, all of them flamboyant and sharp.

The second line contains the four words "King Kong is indestructible", which is written in an ancient and vigorous way.

The third line is the four words "external demons will not invade", and they are written concisely and neatly.

The fourth line is the four words "subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger", but it is written majesticly.

Lu Chen was astonished to see it. This Taoist temple was full of materials. They were all stone pillars with dragons and phoenixes carved on them. They were very impressive.

He has always been curious about how a remote Taoist temple could cost so much.

Until now, when I see Qiu Chuji writing with his fingers and touching the stone with ease and ease, this is something that Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying cannot do in this book. Thinking back to the warm water of internal energy before, I suddenly realized that we must not look at the productivity of this world from the perspective of the previous life.

Qiu Chuji explained, "The so-called body refining process, in summary, is 'seven points of effort, three steps to reach the sky'. First, polish the skin and flesh and other seven points, and then penetrate through them one after another, in order to obtain the 'indestructible diamond'," The three steps of "preventing external demons from invading" and "subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger" are achieved, and finally set foot on the innate."

Lu Chen noticed the details, "These three words are all Buddhist allusions."

Qiu Chuji nodded, "Of course, the mainstream body-refining method is originally the Buddhist scriptures brought by Bodhidharma from the east. However, Taoism also has similar steps. It has been passed down from ancient times and is called 'Water and Fire Immortal Cloth', 'Mercury Blood Silver Marrow' and 'Dragon'." Tiger's Fetal Breath' is just that, the explanations are different, but the essence is similar."

Next, he explained it in detail, and Lu Chen still understood it in his own way: "King Kong is indestructible" and "Water Fire Immortal Clothes" are the transformation of strength and physical fitness, "External demons are not invaded" and "Mercury Blood Silver Marrow" are detoxification, The transformation of resistance and immunity, and "subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger" and "the fetal breath of the dragon and the tiger" are the transformation of the essence of life.

After these three levels of skills, there is the innate body refining.

Those famous generals on the battlefield through the ages, such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, etc., all achieved fame by following this path.

"As for the Qi training method, there are many changes, and the method is wonderful. In the acquired stage, in terms of head-on confrontation, it is actually after the body training method, but the ability to lighten the body, hold one's breath, volley strikes... and other abilities are not body training. Anyone can imagine. Such a person can capture the dragon and the tiger when he advances, and he can be a gentleman on the beam when he retreats. They are the most common in the world."

Lu Chen nodded. Jianghu is no more demanding than the brave men fighting head-on in the military formation. It needs flexibility and versatility.

Having said this, Qiu Chuji raised his hand again and waved at the stone pillar from about a foot away. There was just a bang, and the stone pillar was dented out of thin air, with palm prints at least two or three inches deep, and lime flying all over the sky, thinner than snow.

He turned back and explained, "After reaching the innate realm, the true energy condenses into shape and kills enemies in the air, just in a breath."

Lu Chen was stunned.

Qiu Chuji continued to explain, "As for those who refine the gods, the gods are those who use their heart. The monks in the temple, the Taoist priests in the temple, the butchers who sell meat, and even the teachers can all refine the gods. It is only the acquired stage. The means of fighting are limited, and they can only play a certain supporting role in the world..."

Having said this, he glanced at Lu Chen again.

Lu Chen was fascinated by what he heard. It was freezing cold and he was keeping close to the fire to keep warm. After being stared at by this look, he suddenly felt hot and hot all over his body. "Hot, hot, so hot..."

He hurriedly moved away from the fire, and even before he finished, he took off the ragged coat outside.

Qiu Chuji shook his head, "Silly boy, this is false. If you don't notice it in time, you will suffer even more consequences."

Lu Chen was stunned, looked at his hands, and immediately found that his body was shaking unconsciously, and the white air he breathed out was also lumps, but he couldn't feel it at all.

Without Qiu Chuji's warning, he would have frozen to death regardless of his body.

He immediately ran to the flames and sat down obediently, putting his coat back on, not taking it off even though he was feeling hot inside. After a while, I slowly felt my body's consciousness return.

"Chen'er has a good understanding. One sentence can reveal the truth. If you encounter similar means in the future, be careful."

Qiu Chuji said, "However, this is just an acquired skill. To deal with someone like you who has not learned martial arts, you can create illusions and kill people invisible. When you meet a master with rich experience, you will not be confused, but you have always been wiser. The devil is ten feet tall, and there are masters of god-refining who can combine medicines, explosives, firearms, hidden weapons, etc., with certain martial arts, to find a new path, and to suppress the masters."

"Despite this, it still cannot change the disadvantages of the god-refining path in the acquired period. Only when they reach the innate realm, can the god-refining master truly turn the world upside down and stand on an equal footing with the other two paths, and even be more mysterious and superior to them. .This all depends on the mind and thoughts. Once there is some kind of transformation, it is a principle of 'cultivating the truth through falsehood' - at that moment, the mind will escape into the vast white world of nothingness and seize all kinds of magical abilities. It is similar to the magical power in myths and legends, and is known as the 'Heavenly Secret'." Qiu Chuji took out a book from his arms, "This is the 'Heavenly Secret' that the poor Taoist stole when he arrived at the 'Refining God Xiantian'."

When Lu Chen heard the word "Heavenly Secret", he felt it sounded familiar. Looking closely at the title of the book, I saw three big characters - "Journey to the West".

--ah! ?
At that moment, Lu Chen believed that his expression could never be described with any words in the world.

"Every martial artist has inherited the secrets of Heaven. Occasionally, a poor Taoist has some sense of them. Upholding the secrets of Heaven, he writes half of his life experience into a book." Qiu Chuji opened the book and wrote something on the first few pages, but the back pages were blank. "This is The book has a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one pages, and each page is a dangerous experience in the world, a battle of wits and courage, and a competition in martial arts. After writing it, you will naturally understand a skill. But so far, there are only about ten scenes."

He saw that Lu Chen was curious and threw "Journey to the West" over.

Lu Chen started flipping through the pages with a strange look on his face.

"On March 1, XX, I met Master Miejie of the Emei sect. I fought with him and won the battle. I learned the Turtle Breathing Technique..."

"On May 1, XX, I met Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan sect and had a fight, but the battle ended in a draw. I obtained the art of disguise..."

Lu Chen looked at the past page after page, and his mind was full of subtleties: when you encounter an enemy, you can gain martial arts...

Isn’t this the system? Why don’t I have a time traveler like myself!

He closed the page and handed it back to Qiu Chuji, feeling that the world was getting more and more wonderful.

There was indeed a book called Changchun Zhenren’s Journey to the West in his previous life, but that was the story of Quanzhen Qiu Chuji traveling to the west and reaching the Snowy Mountains to persuade Genghis Khan. It cannot be compared with the story of a monk who went to India to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Qiu Chuji also explained, "That world is called 'Nine Empties without Boundaries'. It has existed since ancient times and is extremely mysterious. It is said that the martial arts of all time and space from ancient times to the present are contained within it, and it contains immeasurable wisdom and supreme mystery. Others' words can never be said. Out of the blue, you can only understand its secrets by entering it yourself.”

It turns out to be Jiukongwujie...how many mashups and magic modifications are there in this world?
At this point, Lu Chen almost didn't even have the energy to complain, so Lu Chen smiled bitterly.

Next, Qiu Chuji talked about the Great Sanhe and the land gods.

If we talk about the Xiaoxiantian realm, he is a first-rate master in the world. At such a great triple level, he is a well-deserved master-level figure in the world.

When the three paths of essence, qi, and spirit all reach the innate realm, and then are connected and intertwined with each other, they will sublimate and transform.

Such a character is the Great Sanhe.

As Qiu Chuji, when he gave examples, he would naturally talk about a few people who were closely related to his Quanzhen Sect.

Nine Yin and Five Jue, Huang Yaoshi, Ouyang Feng, Duan Zhixing, Hong Qigong, plus Zhou Botong, a high-status master of the Quanzhen Sect, are all rare great three-in-one masters in the world.

And Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Nine Yin and Five Ultimates, is ranked among the land gods. Along with Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect and Xiaoyaozi of the Xiaoyao Sect, he is known as the "Three True Immortals of Taoism", and is also called the "Three Fake Immortals" - although there is a fake word, it is the highest evaluation in the world.

Qiu Chuji kept emphasizing the words "Nine Yin and Five Absolutes", which made Lu Chen feel strange. He made some insinuations and understood that it was different from what was recorded in the book he had read.

In the past, when Master Wang Chongyang was in retreat in Mount Huashan, he was disturbed by four masters competing for a copy of the Nine Yin Manual. Wang Zhenren took action to surrender the four people, but he was not angry, but repaid evil with kindness. He disassembled the obscure Nine Yin Manual to the four people to help them break through to the Great Triad.

This beautiful talk about the past made the five people close to each other, and Wang Chongyang became both a teacher and a friend among the four best. Relevant deeds spread widely, making people spread word of mouth and talk about it. Over time, the saying "Nine Yin and Five Absolutes" came into being.

In this way, in this demon-modified world with numerous masters, the five words "Five Jue" are no longer "the five best martial arts people in the world", but "the five masters who made friends because of a good talk", similar to the "Seven Sages in the Bamboo Forest" "Organizations like this.

After hearing this, Lu Chen felt it was reasonable, but he also imagined Wang Chongyang's majesty even more.

It is a pity that most of the land gods are separated from the secular world, traveling around the world, and their whereabouts are unpredictable. The current Quanzhen Sect is far from the majesty of the world's number one sect in the original work, and has been overshadowed by the talented and prosperous Wudang Sect.

After saying a few words about the world, Lu Chen was already thinking about it and wanted to hear it again. But Qiu Chuji then started to talk about the secrets of martial arts, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Qiu Chuji said slowly, "These three martial arts are called the Immovable Dragon's Yin Contemplation, the Quanzhen Mental Technique, and the Nawu Quan. They belong to the three paths of Shen, Qi, and Jing..."

I finally came into contact with martial arts. Regardless of the actual operation, at least in terms of understanding the theory, there was no difficulty as imagined.

Lu Chen listened to Qiu Chuji's eloquent talk and gradually forgot about everything else. He asked questions from time to time, all of which hit the point, which surprised Qiu Chuji. He felt that all the questions raised by this young apprentice were profound and made him think of talking to his brothers. When studying martial arts.

He even thought absurdly of his little uncle who was known as the "Old Naughty Boy": one was young, poor in qualifications but wise, and the other was old, good in qualifications but naive. Could it be that God had given them two different wisdom and martial arts qualifications? Already?
Maybe with this understanding of mind, one can achieve something even if he lacks martial arts qualifications?

With this idea in mind, Qiu Chuji became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and Lu Chen became more and more involved as he asked questions. As time went by, time passed slowly.

Outside the Taoist temple, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The flames inside the Taoist temple were jumping. Qiu Chuji and Lu Chen's young and steady voices echoed in the white snow all over the sky. They didn't know. Was it the flying snow that contaminated their words, or was it that their voices were as white as snow. The mixture of the two creates an indescribable and comfortable atmosphere, as if time has stayed at this moment forever.
