Chapter 191: History Of Martial Arts (Today’S Chapter)

In the past, absorbing other people's internal energy was a bad way, but if you use money to buy internal energy, it is a transaction. If you can make money by practicing inner strength, there will definitely be many ordinary people who are willing to practice inner strength part-time.

If there are martial arts wizards among ordinary people who are rare to see in a century, they can also cultivate their own internal strength without selling it.

"This requires changing the entire world." Shi Qiang knew that this was not something that could be done easily, but that it was difficult to change the structure of the entire world.

"The purpose of time travel is to challenge yourself, to make progress, and developing the use of qi is also progress. If other abilities are suppressed, then specialize in true qi. It stands to reason that qi can be upgraded to become dragon qi, and can also communicate with the spiritual world. In theory, every universe They are all composed of the physical universe and the spiritual dimension. The power of Qi has infinite possibilities, and it is definitely not just about fighting. Shi Qiang has many ideas, but it takes time to implement them.

At the 'Huashan Sword Sect Martial Arts School', Shi Qiang teaches the entry-level internal strength of the Huashan Sect, which is neither very good nor bad, just okay.

At the same time, Shi Qiang also made several friends who knew internal energy in Yanjing and studied their internal energy and meridians. 31

After research, it was found that there are some differences between humans in the two universes, but the difference is not very big. The upper limit of their internal strength is also very high. The reason why their internal strength is not strong is due to the martial arts secrets.

"Before there was writing, how did people cultivate their internal strength? It stands to reason that even if there was no Bodhidharma, there would still be A Qing in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Shi Qiang feels that the answers to these questions still need to be found in history: "You have to go to the county chronicle. "

The Twenty-Four Histories basically record historical events and cannot record warriors. However, there are county annals in various places that record local strange people, customs and customs.

There is already a lot of content in the Twenty-Four Histories, and the county annals are even more vast. With the addition of unofficial histories, sect histories, and genealogical records, the content is even greater.

"To learn martial arts, you also need to understand the history of martial arts, just like to learn philosophy, you need to understand the history of philosophy. I can only do this job, and I have to write a "History of Martial Arts"." The workload is huge, but since it is a challenge He had to do it himself, so Shi Qiang began to study the county annals around Yanjing while teaching.

Martial arts have existed since ancient times, not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even in the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu. This is the power that humans have mastered in the confrontation with nature.

After there were written records, secrets gradually became available. There is also a professional martial arts inheritance. The martial arts warriors of the Qi State, the Wei Wu soldiers of the Wei State, the Yue Jia of the Yue State, and the Hufu cavalry and archers of the Zhao State... are all schools of external martial arts.

Confucianism, Taoism, and law are schools of internal martial arts. In the early inheritance of martial arts, internal and external martial arts have already begun to diverge.

After that, martial arts became more and more detailed, not only internal and external, but also soft and hard, static and dynamic, yin and yang, and an aesthetics was extended based on rhythm, power, striking skills, difficulty of movements, etc.

Martial arts has taken root, integrated with culture, and was once the goal that everyone was striving to learn. However, with the passage of time and the advancement of science and technology, the function of martial arts was replaced by medical skills and mechanisms, and it gradually declined.

Definitely also because of the war, many secrets have been lost. Not to mention the martial arts of the Yao, Shun, and Yu eras, even the martial arts of the pre-Qin era have not been passed down to the world, and even the martial arts of the previous dynasties have lost their shape after being passed down.

"Because most secret books are spread by hand copying, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made when copying by hand. If the Four Books and Five Classics are copied incorrectly, it will be an error in understanding at most, and it does not involve life safety. If a martial arts secret book is copied incorrectly, it will lead to obsession and death. And over time, the secret book will be broken, and any typos or missing words will be fatal. If the Four Books and Five Classics are missing, it doesn't matter if you just add a sentence, but if the martial arts secret book is missing, if you just add it, you will become a Deadman. In the final analysis, the cost of keeping the secret book is too high High, the error tolerance rate is too small, and even a mistake in one word will cause the entire secret book to become invalid. It is no wonder that there are fewer and fewer ancient secret books."

Secret books are different from ordinary books. If ordinary books are wrong, readers will at most misinterpret them. If the martial arts secrets are wrong, you will be dead.

So if one word is wrong in the secret book, it will be ruined. Even if half of an ordinary book is missing, it can still be used. For example, "Dream of Red Mansions" is missing the last forty chapters, which does not prevent everyone from liking it.

If there are four missing words in the martial arts secret book, you have to consider whether to risk your life.

Through research on the history of martial arts, we can also know that the cost of keeping martial arts secrets is too high. Except for major sects such as Shaolin and Wudang, even if small sects obtain secrets, it is difficult to keep them for a long time. Once defective, the cheats become useless.

There are definitely some powerful people who can create their own martial arts by compiling ancient books, such as Huang Shang, the author of "Nine Yin Zheng Jing", and the former eunuch who wrote "Sunflower Book"...

These people are all geniuses. They can remove the false and retain the true from ordinary materials and create their own practice system. However, during the inheritance process, the "Nine Yin Manual" and "Sunflower Book" were also defective due to copying errors, which caused many problems.

In short, if a martial arts is to be passed down, the cost is too high and it is too difficult.

"From primitive society to the Ming Dynasty, martial arts also experienced ups and downs. Chi You made the Five Soldiers, Dayu danced with Qianqi, Bodhidharma taught the monks, Huang Shang made the Nine Yin, the eunuch created the Sunflower... and the Xiaoyao School... , Beggar Clan and other sects were all brilliant for a while, but the inheritance has disappeared." The more Shi Qiang wrote "History of Martial Arts", the more he felt the ruthlessness of the wheel of history. So many profound martial arts were said to have disappeared, and the works of countless geniuses All have been eliminated by history.

Now Shi Qiang is going to let martial artists know how powerful their predecessors are through "History of Martial Arts". The book will be divided into five parts: general history of martial arts, history of martial arts culture, history of martial arts ideas, history of martial arts exchanges, and history of martial arts schools.

Such a huge work covers a huge amount of content and requires painstaking efforts. The more Shi Qiang writes, the more Qi in the body becomes, and more Qi is borrowed.

"My situation must be because my Tai Chi dimension has not been consolidated and cannot be used in every universe. It is like the Infinite Gems, limited to their own universe. Infinite Gems are omnipotent, but in another universe they become stone. The same is true for the magical power of Tai Chi. It has not yet established a firm foothold in the spiritual world and cannot break through the universe. But I can borrow more Qi from 917 in this new universe. The more I understand Qi, the higher my internal power will be. I think Huang Shang is the same. The person who created the "Nine Yin Manual" in this way communicated with the source of Qi and borrowed internal energy while compiling the documents." Shi Qiang knew that his current state was due to borrowing power.

The more Qi you have, the more your body begins to change.

"Are we going to cultivate immortality?" Does Shi Qiang know that Taoism is not just about practicing martial arts, but also has a theory of cultivating immortality: Is the end of practicing martial arts the end of cultivating immortality?"

I don’t know, but I will continue to organize and expand the scope of the county annals from the outskirts of Yanjing.

Shi Qiang's students also came to help and traveled to various places to collect county annals. In addition to collecting information, you can also collect news and publish it in newspapers to make some money.

"Huashan Sword Sect Monthly" is released once a month. Although the current sales volume is not large, it is only released in Yanjing and sells more than 200 copies every month, but its popularity is slowly rising. Many people have developed the habit of reading newspapers every month because they can learn about news from different places.

There are a large number of court officials in Yanjing, and their requirements for information are very high. Although the "Huashan Sword Sect Monthly" does not contain much content, it is also a source of information.

Anyway, it's slowly getting back on track.

However, people in the world have not yet paid attention to the rise of Shi Qiang. Nowadays, people in the world are still talking about the conflict between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun and Moon God Sect.

The Sun Moon God Sect is a local sect that has not been established for a long time. However, it has gathered many warriors who are not living a satisfactory life and has grown rapidly, which has put great pressure on the Five Mountains Sword Sect. .
