At the top of Jade Girl Peak, everyone was speechless and looked at Lin Heng quietly. The question raised by the young disciples of the Beggar Clan is also their question. It can even be said to be a question that has trapped countless people for thousands of years. The answer to this question varies.
They are different and vary from person to person. Lin Heng cannot give a standard answer because he does not have a standard answer at all.
After exhaling, Lin Heng looked at the Shaolin steadily and said: "Before I answer your question, I want to say one thing first. There is no answer to martial arts. Anyone who wants to find the answer must
It's wrong. People are different, and martial arts are different. Everyone's cultivation depends on their own heart. How can others know what you think in your heart?"
"I talked about the foundation this morning. What is the foundation? The foundation of martial arts is to exercise the body and cultivate internal strength. But from these two aspects, they are almost the same and there is no difference. In this aspect, no matter how you practice, there will be no difference.
You will be wrong. But advanced things are different. There is no answer to advanced martial arts, it only depends on your own heart."
Having said this, Lin Heng paused for a moment. He hoped that everyone could digest what he said. After a while, he continued: "You asked me the difference between external strength and internal strength. Are they different?" Lin Heng asked rhetorically,
Suddenly he pointed at a big man not far away and said: "This little brother, you practice external skills. Can you tell me the difference between external skills and internal skills?"
The big man didn't seem to expect that Lin Heng would ask him. He was stunned for a moment before he stood up and said hesitantly: "This, this... I really don't know, but practicing external skills seems to be very difficult..."
The big man said a lot, intermittently and somewhat confusingly, and he probably didn't even know what he was talking about.
Lin Heng smiled and said: "The practice of external skills is to exercise the body, to the extreme. Ordinary training also exercises the body, but it will not cause harm to people. But practicing external skills is different. When you practice external skills, you must polish it.
To make your body stronger, faster, and more explosive, you need extreme exercise. If you do not do this kind of exercise, it will hurt your body and leave you with fatal hidden injuries. But you
It cannot be denied that at the beginning, external skills are more effective than internal skills. This is just like internal skills and moves. It will take at least ten years to polish internal skills before you can achieve success. However, two or three years are enough to practice moves. External skills are
in this way."
"When you practice internal strength, you have to hone it little by little and explore carefully. When you practice external strength, you exercise your body to the extreme. If you don't have the right method, you will definitely hurt yourself."
"We practice martial arts from the outside in, or from the inside out. The Shaolin Golden Bell and the Vajra Indestructible Body Magic are both physical training skills, but they are two different ideas. The Golden Bell is from the outside in.
.There are also external martial arts such as Iron Cloth Shirt, Diamond Clothes, etc., all of which are like this. The Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Kung Fu is from the inside out. It is through practicing internal skills to form a body-protecting aura to defend one's body."
"Which of these two skills is higher and which is lower? Can you explain?"
"In my opinion, martial arts practice requires a step-by-step process. This is true whether it is internal skills, external skills, or moves. However, people are different, and their qualifications are also different. How you practice, you still have to find your own strengths and see through your own weaknesses.
Shortcomings, the only way is to maximize strengths and weaknesses."
"To enhance your strengths, that is, to enhance your own strengths. If you are stronger than others in practicing internal strength, then spend more time practicing internal strength, so that you will gradually surpass others. At the same time, if you have shortcomings in practicing moves, you can reduce the number of complicated moves.
Practice and specialize in those simple and effective basic moves. I think everyone knows that foundation is the cornerstone of advanced skills. With enough foundation, when your internal strength is deep enough, all advanced moves will be at your fingertips. Even if you only use basic moves, you can still use them.
It shows great power."
Having said this, Lin Heng looked at the Beggar Clan disciple again and said: "As for what you call the difference between external skills, internal skills, and moves, that's all. But how to arrange it, how to think about it, and how to choose it all depends on you.
Own."
"Yes, thank you senior!" The young disciple of the Beggar Clan saluted respectfully again, appearing very polite.
After the disciples of the Beggar Clan sat down, the third junior disciple standing started to ask the third question. He looked at Lin Heng with admiration in his eyes and said nervously: "I dare to ask senior, is it true that practicing martial arts can lead to immortality?"
Immortal?"
Another question that made everyone excited. Lin Heng was also stunned because of this question. He looked at the disciple and found that his clothes did not look like Jin people or Han people. They looked a bit like the clothes of people from the Western Regions.
'Western Region Clothing...' Lin Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he looked sideways at Wang Chongyang below him, then at the two young men who asked the question just now, and then looked in the direction of the Duan family in Dali. Could it be that the five unique talents of later generations were
They're all here!
With a secret smile, Lin Heng said: "Theoretically, it's possible!"
Can!
Just two words caused a huge sensation to everyone. Immortality is definitely what everyone wants to pursue, but it is too unreal and scares everyone. But when someone says that immortality is possible, everyone will abandon it.
The fear in my heart surged up like a moth to a flame.
Lin Heng ignored the excited crowd and thought to himself: "I have said before that practicing martial arts can extend people's lifespan. We martial artists can live longer than ordinary people. Why? Because martial arts practitioners are not free from disease, as long as they are not killed.
If you die or have hidden injuries to your body, you will definitely live longer. I used to think that this was our own destiny, just because ordinary people couldn't take care of their bodies, which shortened this life span. But since entering the innate realm, I found that I live longer.
It's been too long. I'm a hundred years old now, but if you look at me, do I look like a hundred-year-old man? If life span is normal, then what do I look like? So, practicing martial arts can increase
longevity."
"To put it more simply, after entering the innate realm, I will definitely live longer than you. As far as I feel, I can live for forty or fifty years. If I make another breakthrough, I might be able to live even longer. That's it.
If you keep practicing and making breakthroughs, wouldn’t that mean you will live forever?”
Lin Heng is a living example in this regard. If he doesn't talk about it, everyone will easily ignore it. But when he talks about it, everyone will look at Lin Heng seriously. Yes, would a hundred-year-old man look like him? He looked at it.
Although he looks old, his skin is as tender as a baby. As he said himself, he can live for another forty or fifty years, that is one hundred, fourteen and fifty years. In the past, everyone thought about such a long lifespan.
Now someone has done it. Doesn’t this mean that practicing cultivation can increase your lifespan?
Thinking of this, everyone's breathing quickened. If cultivation can really lead to immortality, then...
Everyone couldn't calm down for a long time. When everyone calmed down, the sun had already set in the west and the sky became dark. Lin Heng looked at it and said to everyone: "Let's stop here today. Let's continue tomorrow."
After saying that, Lin Heng closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing and went away. Seeing this, everyone got up and left one by one, either looking for a place to rest or going down the mountain to eat. When they were almost gone, people from the Duan family came over and said:
Lin Heng saluted and said: "Duan Zhengxing and his son Duan Zhixing talked about uncle!"
Lin Heng opened his eyes, and with a movement of his body, he got off the boulder and stood in front of Duan Zhengxing and others. He raised his left hand and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you uncle!" Duan Zhengxing stood up and said respectfully: "Uncle, this is Zhengxing's son, Zhixing. Zhixing, I have met your great grandfather..."
The few people talking here naturally attracted everyone. Some people recognized him as a member of the Duan family in Dali, and they naturally thought of Lin Heng's identity. This man was the Dali Sword God, and it was normal for him to be related to the Duan family.
Lin Heng chatted with the Duan family for a while and then asked them to leave. He sat on the stone platform again and quietly waited for the next day.
On the second day, Lin Heng continued his lecture. This time he was no longer talking about the basics, but the cultivation of internal strength. The cultivation of internal strength is very dangerous and involves a lot of knowledge. In one morning, he only explained part of it.
In the afternoon, he still answered everyone's questions. On the third day, he continued to explain the cultivation of internal strength, which lasted for three days before he basically finished.
On the fifth day, Lin Heng began to talk about the moves, including composition, training, extension, etc. This is much easier to talk about than internal skills, because it is not so nihilistic and can be seen and caught. It is also easy to talk about. Everyone
Also easy to understand.
On the seventh day, Lin Heng finished explaining the moves and after answering everyone's questions, he suddenly said: "I have reached the innate realm and stand at the pinnacle of the world, but I am too lonely alone. Today, I would like to teach nine people carefully,
I hope they can enter the innate realm like me, explore higher martial arts, and pass on my spirit. I wonder if anyone is willing to join my sect." (To be continued...)
