Chapter 423: Tempering the True Qi
Chapter 423: Tempering the True Qi
The court was in turmoil.
Liang Qu only felt a strong wind blowing on his face, the air was surging like boiling water, the white air flow rose violently, and turned into a huge vortex, and from the eye of the cloud hung a long sword that was more than ten feet long and spanned the entire courtyard!
Shadows flow and cover, and an invisible sense of oppression fills every corner.
Hei Chi in the doghouse was as steady as a rock. The puppies around him, who had just opened their eyes, stood with their tails straight up and howled. They rushed out in panic from all directions, fell down and crawled back to the doghouse, curling up into fluffy little coal balls.
Liang Qu then realized that after spring, Heichi had given birth to many puppies again this year.
His eyes fell back.
The long sword was condensed and not dispersed, it was majestic and powerful, and the dust on the ground was flying.
"Is this Master's true energy?"
"Yes, the Great Demon Subduing Blade! It was passed down by General Wenzhu, and it is also my spear!
A person is no more than ten feet tall, and with refined cultivation, he can also send out a strong wind of more than ten feet. However, with the help of the true energy, connecting the heaven and earth, he can send out a strong wind of more than a hundred feet! "
Liang Qu stared at the "forty-meter-long sword" and felt his heart surge. His own Taiqing Dragon and White Ape were only ten feet tall, how could it be so exaggerated? He immediately understood what his master meant by the true power, which was the spear.
Big things have their advantages, small things have their benefits, plants, birds, beasts, and fish all develop towards their advantages.
The same is true for wise people.
Faced with the naturally strong physique of monsters, people are naturally envious. So what if they are envious? Just take it and imitate it!
A ten-meter-thick neck can be chopped with a forty-meter-long knife!
When it comes to skills, martial arts, and wisdom, many people have both!
It sounds unfair, but the world is not designed to be balanced.
The tiger is big and fierce, but so is the wise one!
It is worthy of being called the bankruptcy version of the law of heaven and earth!
With this spear, wouldn't it be easy to crush an "unarmed" man like Ben Ma?
In the eyes of ordinary people, a hundred-foot-long powerful force that can destroy mountains and split rocks is enough to be regarded as a miracle!
"No wonder the sturgeon monster longs for human body."
The only time Liang Qu saw Yang Dongxiong take action was when he dealt with the sturgeon monster. He never witnessed it with his own eyes after that when he dealt with the Ghost Mother Cult.
It was such a big "pond", and with a few cuts, the knife light was nearly a hundred feet long, as dense as a woven net, which could not be cut, and most of the water in the entire pond was drained, forcing the sturgeon monster to change its shape and go ashore to fight.
It's a pity that I didn't practice it to the highest level, so I don't do either.
In the courtyard, Yang Dongxiong stretched out his hand, and a long sword that was dozens of feet long and wide fell into his hand, and it seemed to be transformed into a long sword of normal size, the whole body was white, like mutton-fat white jade.
Liang Qu stared at the long sword, felt the imminent sharpness from the blade, and looked away.
Looking for a long time is harmful to your health.
"Before, you were at the fourth level, Galloping Horse, and it was enough for you to be taught by Hu Qizishuai. But now it's not the case. I'm afraid that Zishuai is no match for you."
Liang Qu did not refute, but just smiled.
"That's why I asked you to come to the courtyard today. My original intention was to let you feel the true meaning of the True Qi and understand the key points so that you can further condense and nurture it."
As he spoke, Yang Dongxiong walked through the round gate and came to the pond.
Minnows swim and jump in the pond, their colorful scales glittering.
The white jade knife in his hand lightly swept across, brushing past the minnow that had no time to escape, and brought a small white-bellied fish to the surface of the water.
Liang Qu squatted down and picked up the small fish.
There was not a single wound on its body, but its gill covers no longer opened or closed, and it no longer breathed. When held in the hand, there was no sign of life at all.
"died?"
Yang Dongxiong nodded: "Dead."
Liang Qu's eyes flashed, and he immediately wanted to find out the cause of death.
Scared to death!
In the tiger hunting state, the blood surges like tides, and the strength is stimulated. Ordinary people are frightened at the sight of it, like a weak rabbit encountering a tiger, their hearts and gallbladders broken.
How can I survive when my heart and liver are broken?
This is not a rhetoric at all, but an objective description!
Good guy.
The wolf smoke can kill ordinary people with the snap of a finger, but the tiger hunter can go one step further. He doesn't need to snap his fingers, but can kill with just his will and a single glance!
It was not a waste for Liang Qu to throw away the lifeless little fish and watch it float on the water surface and be chased and eaten by other big fish.
"Understand?" "Understand."
Yang Dongxiong asked: "Then have you thought about why the condensation of true energy comes from martial arts, rather than from skills?"
Liang Qu frowned slightly.
He was not a lazy thinker and had never thought about this phenomenon.
The condensation of true energy does not rely on any exercises, but instead on martial arts, which is indeed contrary to common sense and cognition.
Logically, this ability that profoundly affects a warrior's state should be tied to the martial arts.
Recalling Master Yang's act of killing fish...
"True energy condenses in the Wolf Smoke Realm. The significant difference between the Wolf Smoke Realm and the Galloping Horse Realm is that the meridians are condensed to build bridges, and the spiritual will plays a certain role.
The disciple speculated that the condensation of the True Qi might be affected by the strength of the will? The key to connecting and interacting with heaven and earth requires the guidance of the will.
The technique is... too peaceful? It can't achieve the effect of solidification? On the other hand, martial arts require the heart to kill and destroy, and the will is stronger? "
"You have talent!" Yang Dongxiong praised. "Although there are some differences, they are roughly the same. The biggest difference between Kung Fu and martial arts is that one focuses on harmony, and the other focuses on attack! One is the Tao, and the other is the art! Let me ask you again, what is the Tao? Why do people practice Taoism?"
"What is Tao? I dare not answer. Why do we need to practice Tao? I personally think that it is to carry out our own will."
"Why?"
Liang Qu spoke slowly, thinking as he spoke.
"I lost my parents when I was young. I am not good at fishing and have no way to survive. Fortunately, I received charity and help from my neighbors, which saved my life.
After that, he got the opportunity to catch the precious fish, but he didn't want to rely on it to marry a wife and live an ordinary life, so he paid money to join a martial arts school to learn martial arts, so that he could gain some skills to make a name for himself and break free from the shackles of a small black-sailed boat, no longer relying on the weather for food and going hungry at any time.
Most of the fishermen in Yixing Town actually have the same idea as the disciples, but they have no money or opportunities to realize their ideas. They can only get married and have children, and live a busy and tired life.
The disciple thought to himself, only after entering the Dao, cultivating the Dao, and attaining the Dao, can one eat meat whenever one wants. If one wants to eat meat for 300 years, then one can eat meat for 300 years. If one wants to climb a mountain to see the snow today, then it is fine to sit alone for a few days and listen to the snow. "
"That's a good explanation!" Yang Dongxiong continued, "What is Tao? Why do we seek Tao? There is no definite answer. It can be breaking free from bondage or pursuing freedom.
As you said, you can live as long as you want and eat whatever you want. This is the root of seeking the truth! It is for freedom and transcendence!
When you practice "Wansheng Baoyuan", you should be clear about its purpose. "
"Live easy, comfortable, and long."
“So, in order to seek the truth, all methods of cultivation must be balanced. Even if there are exceptions, they must be unorthodox and can easily lead to insanity.
This state of mind is too peaceful. How can one communicate with heaven and earth with a strong will and exert the power of true energy?
To unleash your power, you must rely on the art! The art of protecting the way and killing!"
Liang Qu bowed respectfully.
"Disciple understands."
The principle remains unchanged.
Fighting and killing is a process, not a result.
No one is born a martial arts fanatic. The purpose of practicing is simply to become stronger than others and defeat others.
Zhengang belongs to the art, created to protect the Dao. It is inconsistent with the pursuit of exercises, but corresponds to the pursuit process of martial arts.
Although one often has to compete with others on the road of seeking, and Tao and art are almost one and the same, in a profound sense there are still some differences.
"Having said that, do you want to understand how to practice the True Qi Technique?"
Yang Dongxiong went through so much trouble, using both Taoism, techniques and willpower, just to make the key point clear.
Liang Qu thought for a moment: "A life-and-death struggle, a tempering of will?"
"That's right! In the frontier, there are many heroes and strong men in troubled times. The key lies here. A sword or a gun on the battlefield may kill you tomorrow, so progress is naturally fast!"
Liang Qu understood.
But speaking of tempering his will, he suddenly thought of the malicious intent of the dragon under the water...
"Let me see your two great powers."
"Yes."
