The Yang family has more than one picture scroll containing the secrets of martial arts. Yang Ji's first reaction was "impossible"!
There is the only mysterious picture scroll left by the ancestors in the "Zhenwu Hall". This picture is the foundation of the Yang family. All the Yang family's children who want to enter the realm of martial arts must enter the "Zhenwu Hall" to understand.
.
This is a fact that everyone knows, and it has not changed for more than a hundred years. Almost all the martial arts masters of the Yang family came from the "Zhenwu Hall".
But Uncle Liang actually said that there might be other scrolls in the Yang family, and there was a lot of meaning in his words. It seemed that it was not just nonsense.
"Uncle Liang, besides the Zhenwu Hall, does our Yang family have other places like this?"
Yang Ji asked.
"I don't know, Master, you know I don't know how to do martial arts."
Uncle Liang looked at Yang Ji with a wry smile, paused, and said:
"However, when the master was still alive, I once heard him mention that in addition to the Zhenwu Hall, the Yang family actually has a picture scroll."
"ah!"
Yang Ji exclaimed, he did not expect that this matter would actually involve his father. After the initial accident, Yang Ji grabbed Uncle Liang's clothes and said excitedly:
"Uncle Liang, what do you mean, there is a second scroll?"
Yang Ji rarely heard about his father. When his father was an official abroad, very little news came to the family. Yang Ji did not expect to hear news about his father under such circumstances, and it also involved the secrets of the martial arts realm.
"Um."
Uncle Liang nodded, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes:
"That was more than ten years ago. At that time, young master, you were not born yet. The master was still very young. I remember that the master was very happy at the time, holding a painting in his hand and laughing. He said it was from the clan.
Everyone knows that there is a picture of the unity of fist and mind in the Zhenwu Hall, which was left by our ancestors. But no one knows that besides that picture, there is actually another picture."
"The picture of the unity of fist and mind, yes, that's the name."
There was a buzz in Yang Ji's mind, and he remembered that Yang Meng clearly mentioned this name to him at that time.
"The master also said that this second painting is also related to our ancestors, but it was not painted by our ancestors, but was discovered by our ancestors by chance. Our ancestors imitated the content of that painting and painted the Zhenwu Hall.
That authentic painting. And with that picture of the unity of fist and mind, he founded a clan and took root in Pingchuan County."
"I usually don't care much about martial arts, but because this matter concerns the ancestors of the clan, I still remember it after so many years."
Uncle Liang was immersed in memories, as if he remembered what happened back then, his face looked very soft.
"Uncle Liang, what do you mean, that picture happened to be in my father's hands by chance? But I never knew about it."
Yang Ji's heart was ups and downs, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.
"Um."
Uncle Liang nodded:
"I have also asked about this matter. At that time, the master laughed and said that the Yang family is the clan of the Yang family. Of course, the paintings handed down can only use the paintings of the Yang family's ancestors. The second painting is an outsider after all. How could it be hung with Zhenwu?
In the hall. And one is enough, there is no need to use two. Then the master gave me this picture."
"Ah! Uncle Liang, where is the second picture?"
Yang Ji said nervously.
At that time, almost everything in Yang Ji's home was taken away except for his clothes. When he rushed to the woodshed later, he was almost penniless. Even with that painting, I'm afraid...
Yang Ji couldn't help but worry about gains and losses, full of expectations but afraid of disappointment.
"hehe."
Uncle Liang glanced at Yang Ji and laughed:
"When something happened to the master, the things he left behind were also taken away. I thought they might try again, so I kept the painting in advance and tucked it into my clothes. At that time, I just thought, this is a gift from the master.
Mine, it’s better to keep it like this for me to think about. Later, as expected, the ladies..."
Liang Bo said. Before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Ji's face flushed with excitement and a look of surprise.
"Uncle Liang, that's great!"
Yang Ji was ecstatic and couldn't help but hugged Uncle Liang and hugged him: "It's great, it's great, it's great..."
Yang Ji said "great" three times in a row, and his excitement was palpable.
There were only a few months left before the court's scientific examination. Time was running out. The eldest lady had taken control of the "Zhenwu Hall" again. Yang Ji was in trouble. He didn't expect that Uncle Liang would send such a message. He was overjoyed.
More than eight years later, Yang Ji never expected that he would be blessed by his father again!
Uncle Liang quickly found this painting from the suitcase. When the eldest lady attacked Yang Ji and her son, the only person she didn't care about was Uncle Liang. However, it was because of this incident that many years later, Yang Ji became successful.
The eldest lady would never have imagined that after taking control of the "Zhenwutang", Yang Ji could actually find a second "Unity of Fist and Intention Picture", even the one that Yang's ancestor first learned!
"Is this really the picture of the unity of fist and mind?"
Yang Ji looked at this mysterious scroll. The corners of the scroll had turned yellow, obviously it had been there for a long time.
The name "Zhenwutang" is so great that it represents a holy place in the hearts of all Yang family members. It is not because of the "authentic relics" of the ancestors, but because it represents the palace of martial arts.
Before this, Yang Ji had imagined what this picture of the unity of fist and mind would look like. Would it be gold and silver threads, or would it be like the "Dragon Marrow Refining Pile Technique", with a picture drawn on it?
Secondary practice posture, and then attach the mantra next to it.
However, Yang Ji never thought that this was a painting, an ordinary white paper painting. In the center of the painting paper, there was an ink fist painted, rough and grand. In addition, there was not even a word or sentence.
There are no oral notes.
"Uncle Liang, is this really this painting?"
Yang Ji doubted.
This painting is so ordinary, so ordinary that except for the fact that the paper is thicker than any paper Yang Ji has ever seen, and the fists in the painting have some artistic conception, there is nothing outstanding about it.
Even from the perspective of calligraphy and painting, the quality of this painting is actually only above average and cannot be called the work of a master.
Yang Ji couldn't even confirm whether this painting had been passed down for hundreds of years.
"this……"
Uncle Liang's lips moved and he said:
"Young master, you also know that I am not proficient in martial arts at all. I don't know if this painting is the one you want. But what I just told you is indeed what the master said to me when he was still alive.
. And this painting is indeed given to me by the master!"
At the end, Liang Bo was categorical and very sure.
"Well. Uncle Liang, I'm not doubting you. It's just that this painting is too strange."
Yang Jidao.
As long as Uncle Liang is sure that this painting is really the painting that his father mentioned back then, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Yang Ji believes that his father was definitely not innocent back then. Since he said so, it must be true.
.
"I hope I can understand the secrets in this scroll before taking the martial arts examination."
Looking at the painting in front of him, Yang Ji suddenly became a little nervous.
The "Martial Arts Realm" is a single-plank bridge, and only those lucky ones with amazing talents can finally reach the other side.
Over the past hundred years, countless people from the Yang family have entered the "True Martial Hall" from generation to generation, but not all those who have entered the "True Martial Hall" can successfully reach the martial arts realm.
There are countless children of the Yang family who have fallen into the dust and stayed in the tenth stage of breathing for their entire lives. Among them, there are also some who are diligent and hard-working and were highly favored by the family in the past.
If you want to enter the "martial arts realm", it's always more than just hard work!
This is the moment that determines a person's lifelong destiny, and Yang Ji doesn't know if he can succeed.
…
From that day on, Yang Ji closed the doors and windows and meditated on this old picture of "Unity of Fist and Intention" alone in his room.
During this time, the eldest lady has restrained herself a lot. However, Yang Ji still released Xiao Ji to patrol outside. As long as anyone approaches, Yang Ji will feel it.
This picture of "Unity of Fist and Intent" was very large, four feet square. Yang Ji looked at it over and over again, trying to find out the secrets that might be hidden in it.
"The paper is special, very thick, but you can't see much difference. There are no words on the back, so I can't find any formulas."
Yang Ji was facing this painting with a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"But my father said that this is the same as the painting in Zhenwu Hall. Even the painting in Zhenwu Hall was copied from this painting. This is definitely not wrong. Is there something else hidden? I don't know
secret?"
Yang Ji looked at the fist in the center of the painting. This fist was very large, occupying almost two-fifths of the space in the painting.
When Yang Ji saw it for the first time, he thought it was rough and unassuming, but now when he looked at it again, he found that hidden in the roughness was a simplicity and sophistication that seemed to be accomplished in one fell swoop without any unnecessary strokes.
"What kind of secret does this painting hold?"
Yang Ji murmured to himself and fell into deep thought. Only by understanding the secrets in the painting can he understand the secrets of martial arts, and finally enter the room and step into the real "martial arts realm".
The light outside the window kept changing, from weak to strong, then from strong to weak, and finally dimmed completely. When his eyes became blurry, Yang Ji was startled, and then he realized that he had been sitting there for a whole day.
Lighting the oil lamp, Yang Ji sat back in front of the painting and continued to meditate.
For several days, day and night, night and day, Yang Ji remained locked in his room, comprehending the secrets in the painting.
Three days later, Yang Ji looked haggard but had gained nothing in his heart.
"Is it true that my talent is not enough to understand the secrets in the paintings and reach the martial arts realm?"
Yang Ji raised his head, suddenly feeling hopeless.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who entered the "True Martial Hall" but could not get out or comprehend the secrets of the scrolls. Countless hard-working geniuses have stagnated here ever since.
If he cannot understand the secret of martial arts, he will not be able to deal with the eldest lady, and he will not be able to go out independently to find out the truth about his father's death that year!
For the first time since practicing martial arts, Yang Ji felt a sense of panic.
"No. No... whoever reads the scriptures, I will never be worse than others in terms of understanding. There must be some secrets in it that I have not uncovered."
Yang Ji's confusion only lasted for a short period of time, and soon his eyes became firm again.
On this road of life, he has no retreat, and he will never retreat no matter what.
