Chapter 28 Four Essentials of Martial Arts
Seeing Yang Jin's serious look, He Mingxiu did not dare to neglect and explained to Yang Jin carefully.
While he continued to use his palm power to shatter the ore, he continued to preach:
"Dharma is the method of cultivation.
That is what we often call magical skills, martial arts secrets and other things that can be used to practice martial arts.
It can even be magical skills taught by some masters and seniors, as well as teachings and guidance, etc.
Junior brother, think about it, if you don’t have martial arts skills to practice, then how can you practice martial arts and cultivate?
It's like the fireworks you are about to make, junior brother. If no one has taught you how to do it, how will you know how to do it!?
Therefore, this method, which is the method of practicing magical skills, is the first condition for martial arts practitioners who want to learn martial arts.
Therefore, it ranks first among the four essentials of martial arts. It is indispensable and indispensable!
Therefore, Dharma is the first, and there is no way to achieve enlightenment!
It is also because the method of cultivation is so important that talented people in the martial arts world flock to it and try their best to join various martial arts holy places, martial arts sects, and aristocratic dynasties.
Go and learn the magical skills of those powerful sects, hoping to become the ultimate master in the martial arts world!"
He Mingxiu took a breath, and after seeing that Yang Jin had written everything down, he continued:
"Now that we've finished talking about the Dharma, junior brother, let's talk about this couple!
Companion, companion.
But this couple is not the kind of couple that ordinary people think of, although the word "mate" I mentioned also means partner.
But the couple in this "Dharma Couple and Wealth Place" mainly refers to people like seniors, teachers and fellow disciples.
As the saying goes: "Studying alone without friends will lead to ignorance and ignorance."
Martial arts practice requires not only diligent study and hard practice by oneself, but also the need for experts to provide guidance at any time and check for deficiencies.
It can be said that these two complement each other and are indispensable!
In fact, there are many secret techniques in this martial arts practice, and even secret codes in the exercises. They are all unique secret techniques and are not disclosed to others.
You are not given a martial arts secret book and you can use it to practice.
If you really want to do that, you are totally wrong!
Maybe if you fail to practice martial arts, you may become obsessed with it, and you will be in a dilemma between life and death!
Therefore, if you only have the skills and no one to guide you, just groping by yourself will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you may go astray and go astray.
This is like a person who doesn't know the way and wants to go on a long journey. When he reaches a fork in the road, he needs someone to guide him."
He Mingxiu seemed a little thirsty as he spoke. He picked up the water bottle and took a sip, then said:
"Junior brother, actually this so-called companion has a more important role.
That is to be able to protect the Dharma when you have a breakthrough in cultivation or when you are healing. This is very important!
Because this is a major matter related to the life and death of martial arts practitioners.
This is also an important reason why so many forces in the martial arts world gather together, all for the purpose of inheriting martial arts and staying together for warmth!
Junior brother, think about it, even if you are a genius, you will encounter difficulties in martial arts training, and there will be things you don't understand.
Even when it is difficult to advance in the realm of skill, this is the so-called bottleneck."
“There are only two ways to break this bottleneck.
One is to rely on your own intelligence and wisdom to come up with ways to break through the bottleneck and forcefully break through the bottleneck.
The other is to rely on the guidance and assistance of others.
Master the experience and know-how of others and use more mature and flexible methods to break through.
The first way is that the requirements are too high and it must be a talented and intelligent person.
Second, it is dangerous. There are too many uncertainties in forcibly breaking through the bottleneck.
The person who breaks through the barrier does not rely on his superior intelligence and is fully confident of breaking through.
Most of them can't stand the torture of being unable to improve their skills for a long time, so they go ahead with the determination to become a good person if they don't succeed.
After all, there are only a few masters in the world who can really break through the bottleneck with this method. After all, this method is too dangerous.
If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to break through the barrier, but your skills may decline, you may be seriously injured, and in serious cases, your efforts may be scattered and everyone may die!
It is much easier to break through the bottleneck with the second method.
In the same sect, if you practice the same martial arts, the so-called difficulties and bottlenecks in the process of martial arts training may have been encountered by previous senior teachers in the sect, or among fellow sects of the same generation.
With their experience and guidance on successful breakthroughs, wouldn’t it be possible to get twice the result with half the effort and easily break through the bottleneck?
Also, when you break through a barrier, there is someone to protect you, which is especially important for those who break through the bottleneck.
Not only can any problems during the breakthrough be solved at any time, but the guardians can also help when necessary.
You said, wouldn't it be much better to do this than to think about it behind closed doors by yourself?"
After talking about the "couple" in Dharma couple wealth, He Mingxiu didn't stop and continued:
"Let's talk about the word "wealth" in "Dharma Couple's Wealth Land". This is easy to understand.
This wealth, to put it bluntly, is money.
As the saying goes, "If you are poor, you should not practice martial arts, and if you are rich, you should not teach." Without money to provide assistance, you will not be able to practice martial arts!
Every top master is built with countless treasures of heaven and earth, miraculous elixirs, and all kinds of precious treasures.
Junior brother, think about it, how can a person who can't even afford food have the time and energy to devote himself to practicing martial arts?
He was probably thinking about how to fill his stomach all day long.
Moreover, when people who learn martial arts start to train themselves and build a foundation, they have a huge appetite and eat a lot.
Especially someone with such strong talent and abundant blood.
When they first started practicing martial arts and needed to lay a solid foundation, they ate an astonishing amount.
Coagulating blood, tempering the body, practicing boxing and cultivating the body every day consumes a lot of energy and nutrients. Sometimes there are more than five meals a day, and each meal must be big fish and meat. There are many people who eat half an ox a day.
Not only that, but also special medicated food to replenish blood and Qi and nourish the body, which is even more expensive!
Calculated in this way, the daily expenses of a martial arts practitioner are almost as much as the monthly expenses of a family of four.
With such a large amount of consumption every day, all the wealth is just idle.
This is just about eating, let alone magical weapons and panacea.
These things are extremely precious and cost even more money!
The reason why the major forces and sects in the world occupies one area and is entrenched in the same place.
One of the very important reasons is to separate one party and gather financial resources to support the cultivation needs of the masters in the sect!
After finishing talking about "Dharma couple's wealth", I finally came to the word "land".
The so-called "land" refers to the place where people who practice martial arts live and live.
This sounds very simple, and it seems that it can be done anywhere.
But in reality it is far from that simple.
To be honest, in fact, every sect or major martial arts force in the martial arts world is very particular about the place it occupies to serve as a mountain gate or general helm.
These places are all special, either because of the weather, the right location, the people, or various reasons.
Apart from anything else, there is a reason why the Hanshan Sword Sect, where Brother Wei belongs to, chose Xiaohan Mountain in the Northern Wei Dynasty to open its doors.
Junior brother, do you know the reason?"
After hearing He Mingxiu ask himself, Yang Jin thought for a moment and replied:
"Senior brother, I seem to have heard Senior Liang of your sect say in the inn that the climate and environment of Xiaohan Mountain should have greatly improved your martial arts and swordsmanship.
I guess it’s because of the favorable location?”
"Junior brother's guess is good! There is indeed this reason.
But this is just one of the reasons why our sect established our sect in Xiaohan Mountain, not the main reason."
Speaking of this, He Mingxiu seemed to be afraid of being heard by others, so he lowered his voice and said to Yang Jin:
“The main reason for this is because the first three levels of our fundamental internal skill, Han Xuan Zi Wu Jin, can only be practiced in Xiaohan Mountain.
If you leave Xiaohan Mountain before you have mastered the first three levels, even a talented person will not be able to master the first three levels of "Hanxuan Ziwu Jin".
It is for this reason that Xiaohan Mountain is the sect’s established mountain sect.
Otherwise, just because Xiaohan Mountain is located on the northwest border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has a harsh and cold climate, and is sparsely populated, how could it be chosen as the headquarters of our sect, one of the four major sword sects of the Northern Wei Dynasty?!"
After talking about the Dharma couple's financial land, He Mingxiu felt that he had too much to say to Yang Jin at once. After finishing the conversation about the Dharma couple's financial land, He Mingxiu also used his internal energy palm power to turn all the ores into
Made of extremely fine powder.
When Yang Jin saw that He Mingxiu had ground all the ores, he also put away his pen and paper and prepared to use the powder to make fireworks.
"Senior brother, you first help me bring these powders into the temple, and then you and Su Rou help me watch the surroundings. Don't let anyone get close to this ruined temple and see my method of making fireworks.
Because of this production method, I promised the person who taught me this craft to keep it secret.
So brother, you can’t watch how this thing is made.
I can just go and make these powder into fireworks in the temple by myself!"
When Yang Jin saw He Mingxiu following her, he didn't say much. After asking him to move the powder to the temple, he used the excuse that the method of making fireworks from this powder should be kept secret and could not be seen by outsiders, so he sent him to patrol around the ruined temple to provide warning.
In order to avoid being disturbed by others, I kept him far away.
Yang Jin spent a lot of time making fireworks this time. It took him more than half an hour before he came out of the temple, carrying a bulging bundle in his hand.
When He Mingxiu saw Yang Jin coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, "Junior brother, are the fireworks ready?
Do you need me to go in and take it out?"
"Brother, it's all done!
Here!
Look, it’s all in this baggage!”
Yang Jin said and gestured to the baggage in his hand.
"Why are there so few?
Those powders just now add up to one or two hundred kilograms. Junior brother, your baggage only contains thirty or forty kilograms at most, how come it’s so much less at once?”
"Of course there are only so many!
This is not a flatbread made from dough, which costs 80% per pound!
Senior brother, how many more do you think there are?"
Yang Jin said matter-of-factly, "Besides, this is also my first time making fireworks, and I wasted a lot of raw materials. It was only after several experiments that I finally made this firework, otherwise I wouldn't have made it."
It took so long!”
After hearing Yang Jin's explanation, He Mingxiu nodded, "Oh!
It turns out that’s the case, but it’s because of my ignorance, brother!”
He smelled a strong smell of incense on Yang Jin, and asked Yang Jin strangely: "Junior brother, why do you still smell of incense on your body?"
"Of course it got on it when I lit it with incense when testing the effect of fireworks!
Senior brother, it's getting late now. We've been out for most of the day and everything has been done now.
In order not to worry Senior Liang and others, we should hurry up and go back!"
Yang Jin didn't wait for He Mingxiu to ask more questions, and urged him to leave the ruined temple and return to the inn.
After saying that, without waiting for He Mingxiu to leave first, he led Su Rou and left first.
Seeing Yang Jin and the others leaving, He Mingxiu packed up his backpack and left.
Not long after Yang Jin and the others left, a fire suddenly broke out in the ruined temple.
Moreover, the fire started very quickly, as if hot oil had been poured on it, and it quickly became extremely fierce.
Because the ruined temple is too remote and sparsely populated, otherwise it would not be Yang Jin and the other five little beggars who could occupy this place.
Chapter completed!
