Chapter 116: Dirty Training and Continuing Breakthroughs (asking for monthly tickets)

After a long time, the thunder sound in Xu Qing's body slowly subsided, and heavy rain began to fall in the yard outside.

He stood up and walked slowly into the yard.

At this moment, Xu Qing took a deep breath, like a bellows, the powerful breath went through his internal organs, penetrated his muscles, and seeped out from his pores.

It seemed as if all the pores on his body were liberated and breathing the air from the outside world freely.

With every breath, the internal organs and fur are inexplicably connected.

“Is this what it means to practice dirty?”

The strength reaches the skin and fur on the body, and even the pores are able to breathe freely.

At this moment, Xu Qing understood even more why King Lin insisted on going out to sea after practicing Zang. With this ability, even if he encountered a large number of government troops in the vast ocean, he could just dive into the water. With the powerful physical strength of the Zang master and the ability to breathe through his pores, no matter how many people there were, they would not be able to catch him.

It's really like a dragon entering the sea.

Xu Qing came to the water pan stone mill in the yard. This was the tool used by Danxi Weng to grind medicinal powder, weighing hundreds of pounds.

He kicked and hooked the millstone, and it fell into his arms like a ball.

One could only tell how heavy the stone mill was from his feet stuck in the mud in the yard.

In fact, before this, Xu Qing also had this kind of power.

However, exerting force requires a process of accumulating force.

Theoretically, there is no difference in his peak strength before and after training, but in reality, there is an essential transformation.

Because in the blink of an eye, he can breathe through his internal organs and pores all over his body, stimulate the qi and blood in his body, and increase his strength to a state close to the limit.

In the past, reaching this state would necessarily require a warm-up and energy-building process.

This is a bit like the acceleration of cars from 0 to 100 km/h in the previous life. Originally, Xu Qing could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in seven or eight seconds, but now it has been reduced to four or five seconds.

The millstone weighing hundreds of pounds was held by Xu Qing like a toy.

At every moment, he was trying his best to unleash his strength and explore his limits.

He performed the Bagua body movements, carried the stone mill on his back, and performed the Bagua Moving Body Palm. The weight of the stone mill and his own weight were perfectly integrated together, leveraging the force to unload it, and his movements became more and more fluent.

After beating for half a quarter of an hour, Xu Qing finally felt that his blood and qi had reached their limit. He put down the millstone and took a deep breath again.

Just like a whale sucking in water, a brief vacuum appeared around the raindrops.

Then, a dragon of water spurted out.

He carefully savored the movement and expansion of his own lungs.

After concentrating his attention, even without using his inner vision, Xu Qing could clearly "see" the specific image of the lung lobe at this moment.

After practicing the internal organs, you will develop the ability of "inner vision".

The difference between this kind of "inner vision" and spiritual observation is that this kind of "inner vision" is from the inside out, and the "image" is produced based on the subtle cognition of the current state of the internal organs.

This enabled Xu Qing to clearly know the current condition of his internal organs, where there were hidden injuries, where there were weak points, and where there was insufficient qi and blood. He knew it all very clearly in his mind.

This is a summary of data, not the kind of perspective-like picture effect obtained by the soul.

"If the soul and the body are united, this ability of 'inner vision' will become more subtle, and the control over one's own flesh, blood, tendons, bones and skin will reach a delicate and abnormal level, thus cleansing the marrow and replacing the blood, and being reborn." Xu Qing now has a clearer understanding of the difference between martial arts and Taoism.

The unity of body and soul is to focus on the sanctification of the body and to achieve the desire to prolong the life of the body or even achieve immortality.

The way of the spirit and soul regards the physical body as a temporary residence, and ultimately pursues the goal of corpse transformation, achieving the immortality of the soul and continuous reincarnation.

One is eternal life in the world, the other is sleepless reincarnation.

If one can comprehend the realm of following the laws of nature and being free from thoughts, it is not impossible to cultivate both. Xu Qing cooperated with the old Wutong tree to coordinate the yin and yang, and the effect would be a little worse, but it was enough to support him to cultivate his martial arts and soul at the same time until the martial arts trained his internal organs and his soul manifested.

If one cannot even achieve the harmony of yin and yang, a Taoist master who practices both martial arts can only stop at the initial stage of training the internal organs, unless one completely unifies the spirit and body and enters the realm of absolute unity of spirit and flesh.

Xu Qing made a careful analysis and understood why the Dao follows nature or the harmony of yin and yang can help one cultivate both the mind and the soul in martial arts, and he continued to make progress.

Because this state or realm essentially uses the mysterious principles of yin and yang harmony or the natural operation of the Tao to replace the function of the spirit and soul, allowing the physical body to undergo a more subtle transformation.

Without this kind of realm or state, this effect can only be achieved by the unity of spirit, soul, body and mind.

Once the soul and the body are united, and the body and the spirit are unified, trying to separate the spirit and the spirit will cause irreversible damage to both the body and the spirit, so it is equivalent to having no regrets.

"Everyone knows that cultivating both sex and life is the best, but how many people can actually do it?" Xu Qing sighed to himself.

If he had not accidentally entered a state of yin and yang harmony through the old phoenix tree, even if he practiced the Xuantian Visualization Method and the Golden Light Mantra at the same time, he would have to make a choice after this step before he could go further.

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, so there were ancient people who cultivated both their body and their soul, thus leaving behind experiences or legends for future generations.

Even after the soul and body are united, there may be some terrifying existence that can reverse yin and yang, transform into a ghost fairy and reincarnate before the body decays.

"Practice is something that goes against the will of heaven. There is no absolute."

"Practitioners come to this world to create miracles."

"They want to break the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death, to fly into the sky, into the ground, and into the sea of ​​clouds and stars..."

The rain has been falling.

Xu Qing took a short rest and started practicing the Crane Form Technique again.

This foundation-building skill becomes more and more interesting the more you practice it.

In his previous life, he read many novels about cultivation, which often talked about training Qi first and then building a foundation.

After practicing in this life, I realized that building the foundation should come before practicing Qi, at least in the Taoist inner alchemy practice system.

Only when the physical body is built and the essence and energy are self-sufficient can one have the capital to practice Qi.

The Crane Form Technique is to carry out the mysterious activity of refining essence into Qi by building the foundation of the physical body and stimulating Qi and blood.

This process is a miniature version of the foundation-building and Qi-training process, rather than a holistic one.

It was not until he practiced the Golden Light Mantra that he understood the mystery of the Crane Form Technique, which was that it allowed one to start training the body to build a foundation and refine essence into qi from the very beginning.

On the other hand, because people have too little essence at this time, they will refine their own reproductive essence, which is why my uncle has been childless for many years.

However, the benefits of building a foundation and practicing Qi in advance for cultivation are self-evident.

It was at that time that Xu Qing mastered the Eight Trigrams Wandering Palm and comprehended the wonders of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. With the help of the old phoenix tree in the yard, he inadvertently entered a state of Yin and Yang harmony, and also obtained the Yin energy and moonlight of the old phoenix tree to further nourish himself.

The prerequisite for everything is that Xu Qing has a bronze mirror.

If Xu Qing did not have the bronze mirror's accurate evaluation and analysis of himself, and the powerful learning ability brought by his absolute concentration, even with such a good opportunity, it would be difficult for him to embark on the correct path of cultivation. Instead, he would miss opportunities and even go the wrong way.

Gradually, Xu Qing's distracting thoughts subsided.

I saw heavy rain falling, and his body stretched out like a lotus leaf.

The mud around me gradually peeled off my body.

The strong force penetrates the internal organs and reaches the body surface. Even the underwear is covered with a layer of strong force from the inside out.

The water droplets in the clothes are shaken out, and the mud and dust are also removed.

The whole body is clean and refreshed from the inside out.

This is the level of "transforming strength" achieved after practicing internal organs.

To be precise, Hua Jin is to stimulate the hidden power from all parts of the body. This is not a stream of energy, but a force generated by the organs, muscles, bones, skin and fur of the whole body.

Drops of rain fell on Xu Qing's hair, cheeks, and clothes, but were bounced away by the force of this energy, just like rain and dust falling on lotus leaves and sliding down naturally.

The rain stopped, and Xu Qing put away his fist with a sense of unsatisfaction.

After practicing the Zang-yang exercise, the pores all over the body breathe, which can stimulate the Qi and blood that cannot flow normally, and significantly increase his endurance and burst time.

Training the internal organs is equivalent to a second development, which allows some people whose innate martial arts roots are not as good as those with extraordinary talents (such as King Lin) to further shorten the gap in their innate roots.

But it's just shrinking.

Because King Lin will also further improve his own roots through practicing the internal organs.

This difference is like a person who originally scored 60 points improving to 80 points, while a person who scored 90 points can only improve to 95 points under the same effect.

If fighting alone, the further you advance in martial arts, the smaller the gap in experience, stamina and moves will become, and even your state of mind will reach an extremely firm level, and your actual combat performance will tend to be at a more stable high level.

Therefore, the more powerful the warriors are, the more difficult it is to determine the winner when their levels are similar.

Unlike low-level fights, it is easier to have a sudden burst of inspiration.

But once you make a mistake, the top players at the same level will not give you a chance to turn the tables.

This is also the limitation of physical combat. If you are a Taoist master, your methods are ever-changing and your Taoist skills are endless. Even if you make a mistake, you can still use some special secret methods to reverse the defeat or escape. High-level martial arts combat is too intense and the distance is too close. Once someone catches your flaw, life and death can be determined in a flash. It is indeed extremely dangerous.

This kind of dangerous excitement can often stimulate people's potential better than any panacea or secret method, and help practitioners break through to a higher level.

"Brother Gongming, your skills of receiving, transforming and releasing have reached a high level. It seems that you can learn the true supreme martial art of my Destroying Love Dao, the Heavenly Net Hand." Feng Wu wore Xu Qing's black fox robe and smiled.

"You are just practicing dirty moves now?" Dan Xiweng was standing next to them, with an incredulous look on his face.

He actually made a wrong judgment.

I couldn't help but start to doubt my own medical skills.

Xu Qing came over and held Feng Wu's hand. Thunderous sound burst out, which went deeper than the previous tiger and leopard thunderous sound. Feng Wu's whole body was trembling visibly, yet he felt extremely comfortable, as if all the pores in his body were opened.

After a while, the thunder stopped.

Danxi Weng was filled with envy and jealousy.

He did not hear wrong this time. What Xu Qing practiced was definitely the best thunder sound in the world - "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound".

Fifteen years old, Tiger, Leopard, Thunder Sound, a great master of practicing internal organs, how can these words be connected together.

Moreover, this kid was one of the top three scholars in Zhili Prefecture, and his eight-legged essays were quite good.

In just one month, he had learned almost all the medical knowledge.

What kind of monster had he encountered?

"This kid is the former dynasty's Chongyang Zhenren, Changchun Zhenren, Ziyang Zhenren, and Tantric Buddhism's Bashiba. These pedantic beings have been reborn into the world."

Danxi Weng couldn't help but think of the monsters from Taoism and Buddhism in previous generations.

He called himself Danxi Weng, also in homage to the sages of previous dynasties, and took the name of a medical master of the previous generation.

Now I feel that I am worse than scum compared to Xu Qing.

The gap is so huge that there is no way to even think about comparing them.

People like Xu Qing are destined to shine brightly in history, just like stars that shine forever.

Danxi Weng thought that maybe in the future he would also leave his own mark in historical records like "Confucius's teacher is Tan Zi, Chang Hong, and his teacher is Xiang..."

The word "shi" here does not mean to become a disciple, but to ask for advice and learn.

Even if he really wanted to be a teacher, he wouldn't be so bold.

Xu Qing released the girl's hand and smiled at Mr. Danxi: "Mr. Danxi, thanks to your medical advice, I was able to understand the key to transforming energy and training the internal organs so quickly."

"Even without me, you would have understood it sooner or later. No need to thank me. How about I take you as my master, and you tell me the secret of practicing Zang?" Danxi Weng looked curious.

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "No need, Mr. Danxi wants to hear it, I will tell you."

He has no intention of being conceited.

This is a good opportunity to see what he has understood and if there is anything he has missed.

The way of cultivation is to learn from the strengths of all schools.

The reason why Xu Qing had reservations was that the Xuantian visualization method was too complicated.

This is especially true for bronze mirrors.

Do something, don't do something.

There is a boundary in his mind.

He, Feng Wu and Danxi Weng entered the house, and Xu Qing talked about his feelings about practicing the internal organs and his understanding and views on cultivation.

Danxi Weng stroked his beard and said: "What you said is actually a commonplace. Why do martial arts and Taoism diverge at the level of spirit and flesh? It is because our ancestors found it too difficult to have both fish and bear's paw, so they made a choice.

A truly wise person can resolve this problem, and naturally does not need to stick to the system framework of the predecessors. However, most people in the world do not have this kind of wisdom to resolve it, so following the system established by the predecessors is actually beneficial to their own practice. "

He continued to talk.

After all, he is a famous doctor. After Xu Qing explained the process and feelings of practicing the internal organs, Danxi Weng immediately understood it and felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

"It turns out that some of these medical theories are the ones that our predecessors realized after practicing Zang-fu. I didn't practice Zang-fu before, so I knew the results but not the reasons. And this medical theory is wrong. Because this predecessor didn't practice Zang-fu, he imagined this theory. Although it was a bit of an accident, it is fundamentally wrong. Forcing it to be regarded as a guide will lead to fatal mistakes at certain times..."

The more Danxi spoke, the more excited he became.

Feng Wu listened quietly beside him.

This is a rare learning opportunity.

Since her master's death, no one has ever explained the principles of cultivation to her so thoroughly and clearly.

Even her understanding of the Book of Destruction of Love has reached a higher level.

The essence of the Way of Eliminating Emotions is similar to the Neo-Confucian doctrine of "preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires."

To eliminate emotions does not mean to be completely heartless, but to peel off the fog of emotions and reach the essence of Tao.

Just as Neo-Confucianism aims to restrain excessive desires, rather than requiring people to have no desires at all.

She used "forget each other in the world" to understand "The Book of Destroying Love", which was correct in direction but not specific enough.

To practice the way of eliminating emotions, one must first arouse emotions, that is, to establish an understanding of "emotions", just as the Confucianists say "to study things and to acquire knowledge".

Only practice can test the truth and the path.

Xu Qing also gained a lot.

He has already put it into practice and now needs theory to perfect his practice system.

Danxi Weng is a real keyboard king, and he has a lot of theories.

Xu Qing's current state of mind is enough to eliminate the dross and retain the essence, leaving behind his own insights, without being disturbed by Danxi Weng.

Before we knew it, the conversation was almost over.

At first, Danxi Weng spoke more, but later Xu Qing drew inferences from one instance and took the initiative again. Feng Wu echoed him from beginning to end.

Each of them had good gains.

Xu Qing couldn't help thinking that the essence of the Huashan Sword Contest actually lies in the "discussion". Fighting is secondary, and the discussion is the essence. Only when top warriors communicate can the grandmaster-level wisdom sparks be created.

When he thought of these things, he suddenly felt something. His mind moved, and in the blink of an eye, his body moved and came to the gate of the courtyard. He waved his sleeves, and the bolt fell silently, opening the door.

"Master Fayue, why are you here?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

Fa Yue and Xu Qing entered the yard and told them why they were there.

It turned out that Yan Kong received a boxing challenge from Gu Wuji. He knew that the other party was up to no good and was a master of dirty tricks. He was afraid that Xu Qing would be ambushed in Yingtian Prefecture, so he sent Fa Yue to remind him.

Xu Qing understood the whole story and asked, "Who does Gu Wuji belong to?"

"He came in a hurry. I only found out that he was a master of the Northern School. He had visited more than a dozen sects from north to south and never lost. That's why he became famous."

Fa Yue paused and continued, "This person is also a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He came from the north to the south, but he did not challenge the Great Zen Temple in the north. Instead, he bullied the Jinguang Temple."

"How does your master feel about this bet?"

"Master said that you should just prepare for the provincial examination and don't worry about him. Just be careful of this person. Because Gu Wuji is still in Yingtian Prefecture."

"Where does he live now?"

"He sent someone to issue a challenge. My master sent me here as soon as he saw the challenge. I don't know where he is now."

Xu Qing nodded, whispered to Fa Yue his residential address in Yingtian Prefecture, and asked him to ask Su Lianqing to check, and then come to be Feng Wu's bodyguard for two days. Since Yan Kong was sure, Fa Yue could stay in Yingtian Prefecture temporarily.

Fa Yue then said goodbye.

Xu Qing returned to the house, and Feng Wu asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "There is a master from the north who wants to test Master Yankong's powerful Vajra Palm. The date is set after my provincial examination. Let's go and have some fun then."

Feng Wu stopped asking questions. She thought the matter was not that simple, but she was not in good condition right now, so she should not get involved and become a burden.

"After dinner, I'll teach you the Sky Net Hand. You learn fast anyway."

"No hurry, I have to go back to Jiangning Prefecture tonight and will be back the day after tomorrow. You can stay here peacefully for the next few days."

"Okay, then be careful."

"Don't worry."

Xu Qing did not go back to find Yan Kong, but planned to return to the Wutong Courtyard, use the yin energy of the old Wutong tree and the moonlight to regulate yin and yang, and then impact the state of "manifestation" of the soul.

He must strike while the iron is hot and continue to break through!
