The Birth of Tianjiao Chapter 4: Primordial Strength
The sky is filled with stars, and their light remains unchanged forever, witnessing the joys and sorrows of the world.
"Well", Dugu Xiaotian woke up from his coma, and the small mountain col was empty at this time. He gently rubbed the back of his head and stood up slowly.
"Father, mother!" he cried and ran towards the village.
Although it was already dark, oil lamps and torches were lit everywhere in the village, making it bright, and there were faint sounds of crying.
Xiaotian ran to the door of his house and saw more than a dozen villagers sitting in the yard. Aunt Liu and Uncle Li, whom he knew well, were all in the yard.
"Where are my father and my mother?" Dugu Xiaotian grabbed Aunt Liu and asked.
Aunt Liu's face turned pale, and she choked, "Inside." After saying that, she pointed to the hall inside the house. Dugu ran into the hall with a smile, and saw a large coffin in the hall, and her parents were lying peacefully in the coffin.
, as if sleeping forever.
Xiaotian's hands were trembling. He held the coffin and looked at the faces of his father and mother. Scenes of past events came to his mind.
"Father! Mother!" He shouted twice, unable to hold on any longer, tears bursting down his face, and he passed out from crying in a moment.
Several villagers quickly stepped forward, helped Xiaotian onto the bed, and covered him with quilts.
"What a good person, just gone!", "What a poor child!" The villagers cried with regret.
The night was desolate, and the beautiful woman in black stood silently in the dark night in the distance, watching everything.
"Asking what love is in the world, it tells me that life and death are together, and the labor and the swallow fly apart, and they go to the east and the west...!" She hummed the song softly, and her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Three days later, in the bamboo forest to the west of Xinghai Village, a breeze blew, and a new tomb appeared, cold and desolate.
Dugu Xiaotian sat blankly in front of the grave, looking at the tombstone, with tears in his eyes. He gently touched the Pingtian sword left by his father and murmured to himself, "Dad, mother, Xiaotian misses you."
With a few soft sounds of "sand, sand", the beautiful woman in black held Li Xiaoyue's little hand, stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, and walked slowly over.
Li Xiaoyue rushed forward, took Xiaotian's hand, and shook it a few times.
"Brother Xiaotian, I want to practice martial arts with my master and avenge my father. You can come with us!" Her pretty little face looked a little haggard and she said softly. "Cheer up!"
"Sister Xiaoyue, go and practice martial arts, I won't go!" Dugu Xiaotian pulled back his hand and said softly.
"Follow me to Changsheng Island, and I will train you to master martial arts and rule the world!" Leng Qingshuang snorted, "Don't you want to avenge your father? You're a worthless thing!"
"It was you who forced my father to death, and my father told me before he died that he would not allow me to take revenge, but that he would allow me to practice martial arts, medicine, and be a hero!"
Xiaotian shook his head, "I will not learn martial arts from you!", he said firmly.
Leng Qingshuang was silent for a long time after hearing this. Li Xiaoyue begged again and again, but Xiaotian just refused.
"Alas", Leng Qingshuang sighed softly, took out a booklet from his arms and threw it in front of Xiaotian. "This is your father's relic. He asked me to give it to you before he died." After that,
Taking Li Xiaoyue's hand, "Let's go."
Li Xiaoyue looked at Xiaotian reluctantly, turned around after taking three or five steps, and the master and apprentice left for a moment.
Xiaotian picked up the small book and saw the eight characters "Jiuyin Zhenjing Beginner's Method" written on the cover. He just thought it was a relic of his father and put it in his arms.
Winter has turned to spring, and it has been more than two months in the blink of an eye. Xiaotian practices military boxing and swordsmanship in the hospital every day, and reads medical classics, and the pain in his heart is slightly relieved.
On this day, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. He opened the "Father's Relics" and saw the opening chapter of "The Nine Yin Manual":
"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiencies by making up for the excess, so the imaginary overcomes the real, and the deficient overcomes the excess. Its meaning is profound, its reasoning is profound, and its interest is profound. The symbols of heaven and earth, the sequence of yin and yang, the expression of change, the relationship between death and life
Omen."
"The weak overcomes the strong, and the soft overcomes the hard. No one in the world knows it, and no one can do it."
"The most gentle thing in the world is the strongest thing in the world."
…
Xiaotian looked through the book and naturally began to practice according to the breathing method above.
Dugu Xiaotian was young and ignorant, and his parents were not martial artists, so he had no idea that he had made a big mistake.
The Nine Yang Divine Art is extremely yang and strong, and the Nine Yin Manual is extremely yin and soft. Only a great master like Patriarch Sanfeng of Wudang who studies heaven and man, understands the way of yin and yang, and has the inner strength of water and fire, can learn it at the same time.
As a martial arts practitioner, no matter how talented you are, if you don’t have more than 50 years of understanding of Yin and Yang, and have a thorough understanding of the martial arts of heaven and earth, if you practice nine yang and nine yin together, you will inevitably have an imbalance in the power of yin and yang. At least the meridians will be disordered, and you will become a cripple.
In severe cases, the power of yin and yang will run wild, and the meridians will be broken and death will occur.
Leng Qingshuang didn't know that although Xiaotian was young, he had already practiced the first chapter of Nine Yang Magic for three years.
She saw that Xiaotian's martial arts was mediocre and had not broken through to the first level of internal strength, so she just said that he had not practiced superior internal strength. She originally planned to teach Xiaotian the basic skills of Jiuyin Sutra and let Xiaotian practice on his own. After a few years, she would see Xiaotian's results.
After entering the country, Xiaotian's more advanced skills were introduced. Unexpectedly, Jing caused trouble.
Xiaotian didn't know the danger inside. He practiced the Nine Yang Sutra for two hours during the day in the courtyard with the bright sun shining brightly. At night, when the moon was bright in the sky, he practiced the Nine Yin Sutra for another two hours. In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.
In the evening of that day, Dugu Xiaotian was performing the Jiuyin Zhenjing, the introductory exercise of Yijin and Forging Bones, while a yin-cold internal energy slowly gathered in Dantian.
"I finally cultivated the Nine Yin Internal Energy!" Xiaotian was secretly surprised.
During the Ming Dynasty, martial artists practiced internal energy by first sensing the inner energy through breathing and collecting the inner energy into the Dantian. This step was the foundation for practicing superior martial arts. There were nearly ten million people practicing martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, and then thousands more
Only one person can sense the inner energy of the body and gradually cultivate the inner strength. The Ming Dynasty had a population of nearly 60 million, and there were less than 10,000 people who had achieved great success in martial arts. This is the reason.
After practicing hard for a long time, the martial artist gradually condenses the internal energy gathered in the Dantian into internal energy. Through the method of moving around the body, the internal energy is dispersed in the various acupuncture points of the meridians throughout the body, so that the internal energy can be blessed in the hands and feet, and the hands and feet can be moved.
At this time, the power of fists and kicks greatly increases.
When the first complete meridians in a warrior's body are transported around the world and opened up, and the internal energy is accumulated in the acupoints, the barrier is broken through, and the first level of internal energy is developed.
There are nine major meridian circulations in the human body. Every time one of the Zhoutian meridian circulations is opened, the internal strength will be greatly improved. However, it becomes more and more difficult to open up new meridian circulations as time goes by. Most warriors practice diligently throughout their lives, but they only reach the fifth level of internal strength.
According to records in various martial arts manuals available in the Ming Dynasty, a warrior's inner strength can be cultivated up to the ninth level.
When all nine major meridians are circulated, and the internal energy is filled to 360 major points in the body, it is the highest state of the ninth level of internal energy. It is rumored that there are higher states above the ninth level of internal energy. The founder of Wudang Sect, Zhang Sanfeng, once surpassed the ninth level of internal energy.
The highest realm of inner strength, but it is not clear. What is the realm above the ninth level of inner strength and how to cultivate it? This secret has been hidden in the martial arts.
The essence of the different internal skills and mental methods of various martial arts schools at present is to achieve the penetration of the circulation of the nine major meridians. However, the more advanced the internal skills and mental methods, the more quantity, higher quality, and more powerful the internal energy produced.
If a martial artist practices advanced internal skills and mental methods, it will be more difficult to move around. But once mastered, they will be much stronger than masters of the same realm who practice elementary internal skills. Advanced internal skills can even leapfrog the level and compete with ordinary internal skills.
, fight and win.
Although Dugu Xiaotian had previously cultivated the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he was unable to transfer it to the heavens. The internal energy of the Nine Yangs was still stored in his Dantian.
At this time, in Xiaotian's Dantian, there is an internal energy that is masculine like fire, and an internal energy that is yin and cold like ice. As soon as the cold internal energy is generated, it is incompatible with the masculine internal energy and begins to collide violently.
"Bang bang", Xiaotian seemed to hear a roar coming from his Dantian, and his body felt severe pain.
At this moment, a cloud of purple misty gas appeared in Xiaotian's Dantian. It trembled slightly and sucked in both the Nine Yang Nei Jin and the Nine Yin Nei Jin.
After a while, a purple inner energy formed in Xiaotian's Dantian, and both the Nine Yang Internal Energy and the Nine Yin Internal Energy disappeared.
"What is this?" Xiaotian sensed the newly generated purple inner energy in his dantian, feeling confused.
"When my mother taught me the Song of Righteousness, it was said in the poem that there is Hongmeng righteousness in the heaven and earth, which is mixed with manifolds." Xiaotian murmured to himself, "Is this the legendary Hongmeng righteousness that is everywhere in the heaven and earth?"
"Since there is no distinction between yin and yang, let's call you Hongmeng Neijing."
In the following days of practice, Xiaotian first practiced the Nine Yang and Nine Yin internal energy according to the primary skills of Nine Yang and Nine Yin. Then he transformed these two internal energies into Hongmeng Internal Energy in Dantian, and then transported them through Zhoutian.
, the Hongmeng inner energy is slowly stored in various acupoints in the body.
