The Demon Soul is Coming

(The third update, please collect it.)

"The law is the law, and the art is the art," Xia Yingchen said, "The law is the foundation of practice, but in the end it is the art that is used to win. The Jiuzhuan Tianxian's Zhengyi method is just the basic method for refining the essence. Like children's literacy, everyone's learning process is similar, but after completing a complete set of basic exercises, the path before everyone is completely different."

He said again: "It's just that although they are different, in general, they are divided into two, called 'Xuan' and 'Wu' respectively."

Liu Sang asked, "What's the difference between these two paths?"

Xia Yingchen said: "'Wu' is both martial arts and martial arts. The basic jing qi cultivated by everyone is roughly the same. They sharpen the basic jing qi and blend it with their own tendons, bones, and skin to strengthen their tendons and forge their bones. The body becomes extraordinarily strong, and then uses specific moves to injure the enemy with its own powerful destructive power. This is "wu". Martial arts practitioners often have a strong physique. It is also possible to be as immortal as the First Emperor...of course it is only theoretically possible, in fact no one can practice it."

Liu Sang said: "Then what is 'Xuan'?"

Xia Yingchen said: "'Xuan' is a bit difficult to explain. Generally speaking, it is mainly the Taoism of the Taoist school and the yin-yang technique of the Yin-Yang family, while the illusion of the fox clan and the sorcery of certain monsters can also be generalized. It is classified as 'Xuanshu'. Different from 'Wushu', 'Xuanshu' cultivates external objects, and uses special means to make Jing Qi nihilized and mysterious, and interact with the Qi of the Five Elements outside the body to achieve cao Controlling the qi of the five elements produces various strange effects. Martial arts and metaphysics are actually just different uses of qi, but when ordinary people see martial arts practitioners breaking mountains and breaking rocks, they will only think that he is infinitely powerful. People take things from the sky, change water into fire, but they feel like gods, so they can't help mystifying mystic practitioners, thinking that they are gods descending from the earth. The main reason why it is called "Xianshu". In fact, whether it is mysterious or martial arts, it is just the change and use of Jing Qi. It is the same source but different ways, just like water can freeze or turn Qi. There is no good or bad, it just depends on whether it suits you.”

Liu Sang said: "Lady, do you cultivate Wu or Xuan?"

Xia Yingchen said: "The distinction between Xuanwu and Wu is actually not so clear-cut. My Taixuan Ice Crystal Method usually focuses on strengthening myself, and can manipulate water vapor when facing the enemy. It can be regarded as a way to combine Xuanwu. Xuanwu Combination, there are good and bad, compared to physique, it is not as good as a pure martial artist, and compared to five elements, it is not as good as a pure practitioner of mysteries, but because of both, it is more balanced. In fact, due to physical problems, most women are pure Most of the practitioners of Xuanwu or the combination of Xuanwu and pure martial arts are basically men. But among the seven great masters known in the world today, at least three are pure martial arts practitioners who only practice Xuanwu There is only one person who does not practice martial arts, and the other three are basaltic and martial arts dual practitioners. In terms of ratio alone, it is easier to reach the master level when practicing martial arts than cultivating xuan."

He added: "Of course, this may also be because there are more martial arts practitioners than mystic practitioners. After all, the Taoism of the Taoist school or the Yin-yang technique of the Yin-Yang family are often cherished by the broom, and it is difficult for outsiders to get in touch with them. The exercises related to 'martial arts' are easier for ordinary people to come into contact with."

Liu Sang said: "But I read in the book that the method is the fundamental method, and the method is the last part. What really matters is the method, not the method?"

Xia Yingchen said solemnly: "This statement seems to be correct, but it is actually biased. After the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty, many of the collections of exercises in the pre-Qin period have been lost, and it is difficult to find masters in the world. Martial arts are just used by rural people to fight As a common method of fighting, mysticism has become a trick of pretending to be gods and ghosts, and defrauding people of money. Until Tianhuazi, the number one master of Taoism at that time, put forward the theory that "humans follow the earth, and the earth follows the sky", thinking that people live between heaven and earth, as long as Learn from the principles of heaven and earth, and move by escaping the opportunities of heaven and earth, and you will be able to achieve something. Since then, various exercises that fit the opportunities of heaven and earth have emerged one after another, and martial arts have grown stronger again. Appeared, and got a new life."

Then said: "Without the cooperation of powerful skills, no matter how powerful the technique is, it is useless. It is like Lei Xia's 'Thunder God's Universal Transformation' is a technique, but without his Nine Heavens Essence Technique, it is impossible to use Thunder God at all. Generalization, if you can barely use it, you can't show its power. Therefore, whether you are practicing martial arts or cultivating mysteries, most of them use the method more than the technique. Although it is right to emphasize the law and ignore the technique, beginners often make a huge mistake because of this. .”

Liu Sang humbly asked for advice: "What's wrong?"

"Humans follow the earth, and the earth follows the sky," Xia Yingchen said, "no matter how the exercises themselves fit the principles of the heavens and the earth, it is human beings who use them, and the techniques are the ones that are applied in the end. The exercises themselves are extremely important, However, many people try their best to obtain superior exercises, but forget to consider whether it is suitable for them. For example, someone gets a superior exercise that is biased towards martial arts. It is more suitable for cultivating profound arts, and it is too late to go back to the road of profound arts, but in the end, I have no superior skills, but I wasted my talent, and I have nothing to achieve in my life."

Continued: "So, after completing the basic exercises, the first set of exercises is the most important. Once you go the wrong way, the nature of the essence will be changed, and it is extremely difficult to turn back, so I would rather learn the lesser-known exercises. Don't take the wrong path. A person who is suitable for martial arts, embarks on the road of martial arts, even if the skills learned at the beginning are not good, the spirit will still change in the direction of "martial arts". There are better skills related to martial arts, but if you go to practice "xuan" and find that you have gone the wrong way, you have to go back and learn "martial arts", although it is not absolutely impossible, but it will be difficult to achieve in your life Grandmaster realm, let alone becoming a Grandmaster."

Liu Sang said: "In this case, wouldn't it be better to practice Xuanwu dual cultivation from the beginning?"

"Double cultivation of xuanwu is more demanding than simply practicing martial arts or cultivating xuan." Xia Yingchen shook his head and said, "whether it is martial arts or xuan, as long as you choose the right path, even if the skills you practice at the beginning are difficult to get in, you will not be able to do so." What impact will it have? Xuanwu double cultivation seems to be both, but in martial arts, it is difficult for his physique to reach the peak, and in Xuanwu, due to limited energy, he can only choose one or two of the five elements to practice. There are very few exercises in the book, and they are not compatible with each other. If you don’t have a book of the best exercises from the beginning, you will never dare to practice it easily. Just like me, if it wasn’t for my great-grandmother in my family. The Taixuan Ice Crystal Method, and never dare to take this road of ice and martial arts dual cultivation. Therefore, all black and martial arts dual cultivation usually come from a family of martial arts or well-known sects, and they already have a copy of the best dual cultivation in their hands. Law."
