The old Taoist priest reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Cao Jinxing in a new outfit, and said sincerely:
"You've been promoted so quickly. Just a few days after you were promoted to a hundred households, you became the deputy of a thousand households in the blink of an eye. This is the first time that the veteran has seen such a young deputy of a thousand households in the Zhenfu Division for more than ten years."
"senior."
Cao Jinxing put down his book and looked at the old Taoist priest. He thought it would be easier to ask directly, so he said: "This junior has a few questions about cultivation, and I would like to ask for your advice."
"oh?"
Seeing how solemn he was, the old man sat up straight and said, "What's the problem? Tell me."
"What do you mean by 'only mental methods, no magic methods?'"
Bai Yunxiu said before that he only had the mental technique of "Han Chan Gong" and no magic technique, so he could infer that he was not a direct descendant of Song Chengqi.
Does the technique refer to the matching martial arts?
Cao Jinxing always felt that it was not that simple.
"So this is it."
The old Taoist caressed his beard and said: "The secret library of the Zhenfu Division covers all the martial arts in the world. It is rich in knowledge but not in expertise. Moreover, they are all self-study and random combinations, which will inevitably lead to nondescript. Your question is a typical example. Take Longhu Mountain
Take the Tianshi Mansion as an example, what is the mind method? What is the magic method?"
Cao Jinxing knew a lot about this sect and said: "The mental method must be the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Techniques" without a doubt, but the magic method...could it be the "Five Thunder Palms"?"
Old Taoist priest: "Yes, and also wrong."
Cao Jinxing said helplessly: "Senior, I'm not good at riddles."
The old Taoist laughed and said: "The way of thinking is the way, and the way of doing things is the technique. Zhuangzi said: 'He who communicates with heaven and earth is virtue; he who walks in all things is Tao; he who governs people above all else is the way of doing things; he who is able to have skills
,Technique.'
Tao is the source of all laws, and technique is the unique art of combining Tao. There have always been two explanations. Based on the long-standing concept of martial arts, you should only know the first one."
Cao Jinxing nodded: "Internal skills, mental methods and various martial arts, these are the most common mental methods and techniques."
"That's right."
The old Taoist priest said: "But there is another explanation, which can only be understood by reaching the innate and contacting Lingwu. Let me ask you, what is the Tao of "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Jue"?"
In an instant, Cao Jinxing suddenly became enlightened.
"I see... Is this the true meaning of the word 'Lingwu'?"
He muttered to himself.
The old Taoist priest was both happy and sore at the same time. What kind of understanding was this? With a little guidance, he got it straight away!
Seeing that he understood it, but it was still at the stage where he could only understand it and could not express it in words, the old Taoist simply said bluntly:
"The "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Jue" is a supreme magical skill created by the founder Zhang Daoling. After it is completed, it can use the true energy to transform thunder, use oneself to draw thunder, and can absorb thousands of thunderbolts for one's own use.
The word "Thunder Control" is its Tao! All attack methods based on the Thunder Control Heart Method are spells! There are many similar ones.
Shushan Sword Sect takes "controlling swords" as its way, Miaojiang Five Poisons takes "controlling Gu" as its way, Ten Thousand Beasts Villa takes "controlling beasts" as its way, Demon Sect Ming Sect takes "controlling fire" as its way, and so on, etc.,
To name a few.
For thousands of years, countless martial arts and countless true qi have been produced in only eight categories: heaven, earth, mountain, lake, wind, thunder, water, and fire!
Mortal-level martial arts can only temper the physical body, but spiritual-level martial arts can control all things!
"Xuantian Lianjianzhi" turns water into ice, and "Cloud Expelling Palm" gathers the cloud energy of the nine heavens. These are all uses of "water", but they are still in the initial stage. This is the limitation of the sixth grade.
The higher the level of martial arts, the deeper the understanding of the 'Tao' and the stronger the application. Do you understand now?"
Cao Jinxing bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. Cao Jinxing is deeply grateful."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
The old Taoist priest quickly helped him up: "This is just to clear up doubts. You are multi-talented. Now choose, whether to specialize or to practice concurrently, which one to practice first and which one to practice later..."
Cao Jinxing smiled. Now that he understood it, of course he would choose the one with the highest cost performance.
He quickly picked up the book, turned to a certain page, and pointed it out to the old Taoist priest: "Where is this?"
The old Taoist priest took a closer look.
I saw three big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes written on it:
——"Yu Bing Jue".
"good!"
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but praise, and began to feel sorry for the Tianshi Mansion: There are so many spiritual seedlings, what a pity!
"Fourth floor, area A, six horizontally and seven vertically."
The old Taoist priest took out the key as usual and handed it to Cao Jinxing, saying, "Take it easy when you look at it. This skill is too overbearing. Don't hurt others."
"senior……"
Cao Jinxing was speechless and said: "Who are the people who can see the fifth rank? You also said that I am the youngest, how can I pose a threat to others."
"That's not possible~"
The old Taoist priest lay back on the Taishi chair again and said leisurely: "Read it carefully and study it carefully. This book is very special. It is more difficult to understand than the martial arts you have practiced before, but as long as you understand it, you will understand the technique."
’, by then, it will be completely transformed, I’m looking forward to it.”
"Then I'll go."
Cao Jinxing took the key and went straight to the fourth floor.
This time, it was obvious that there was a lot more open space on the entire floor, and the number of martial arts skills had dropped sharply. He easily found the location, opened the drawer, and took out the secret book inside.
Open the title page.
In addition to those three characters, there is also his author: [(Tang) Tianshi, Ye Jinneng.]
"The talented people and strangers of the Tang Dynasty..."
Regarding the Taoist priests of this period, Cao Jinxing only knew two, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who wrote the strange book "Tui Bei Tu".
He opened the pages and read carefully.
This time, he was more serious than before.
Because "Bing Yu Jue" expounds on the method of condensing ice and controlling ice throughout the book, it goes straight to the core of the way of "controlling water"!
As long as he can learn it, his Qi utilization rate will be higher, and all water martial arts will become more powerful!
This is the most cost-effective option!
But this thing is very difficult to understand.
Even the author clearly points out in the introduction: [This technique is difficult and obscure, and it cannot be understood by ordinary people. It is just a matter of whim, and I will cherish it if I have the chance.]
Cao Jinxing really doesn’t believe in that evil.
"With my level of understanding, as long as you mean what you say, there can't be anything I can't understand!"
He gradually sank into it.
It feels like a new world has opened.
He was so absorbed in what he was looking at that he didn't notice that just behind two rows of bookshelves, there was a deputy Qianhe in a flying fish uniform standing there quietly.
He was like a dry stake, motionless with his eyes closed. Then, as if he sensed an opportunity, he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist...
