, bringing out clues about the intertwined light and dark events in the martial arts world. Although most of the new characters will not leave a deep impression on people, just like in the world, everyone is a passer-by who cannot leave behind the snow and mud claws on the journey to the end of the world.
The same, which corresponds exactly to the theme of this volume.

[Supplementary explanation of martial arts in this book and the author’s understanding of martial arts in martial arts culture]
It has been pointed out in the section of the first volume that internal strength is divided into the lower three realms (enlightenment, awakening, and subtlety), the middle three realms (breaking dawn, wandering in the sky, and escaping the sky), and the upper realm (thousands of armies). The realm of internal strength determines a person
The degree of understanding of one's internal force is closely related to the depth of the internal force but not absolutely proportional to it. It is not absolutely related to the strength, speed, and level of martial arts.
Relevance. As for the external martial arts moves and movements written in this book, they are mostly based on traditional Chinese martial arts, commonly known as "martial arts". The author is not a professional martial arts athlete and only relies on some of the information and personal information he has accessed.
The description is based on imaginary movements and is not consistent with martial arts moves in reality or other cultural works.
Internal Qi is a wonderful force invented by novelists that can be used by the human body. The author's personal research shows that the origin of Internal Qi is the combination of ancient Indian culture and Chinese culture. The three chakras and seven chakras in Indian culture are related to
Meridians and Qi in Chinese Culture (Twelve Meridians
There are similarities with the Eight Meridians), and the theories of Buddhism, Tantra, and Taoism about the similarities, differences, and advantages and disadvantages of the two are still debated to this day. The concept of Chakra, the energy center in the human body in yoga, has been localized and interpreted by martial arts novelists
, which is the internal energy in martial arts novels.
In addition, in martial arts culture, there is often a saying that "the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin." When the Shaolin Temple translated Indian Buddhist scriptures, it also translated some of the practice techniques, which evolved into martial arts techniques that can cultivate internal strength and true energy. After a long period of time,
With the enrichment and development of countless martial arts masters in China, there are thousands of martial arts, and legends such as Bodhidharma and the "Yi Jin Jing" can be mutually confirmed.
The origin of internal force and true energy is a mysterious fantasy about the human body under religious theory, which cannot be explained by scientific theory. The essence of internal force and true energy is also related to the mana and magic in fairy novels, Western fantasy novels, and Eastern Gaowu fantasy novels.
There is no big difference between strength, spiritual power, fighting spirit, etc. In martial arts novels, mental martial arts are not martial arts in reality, but are similar to the martial arts in fairy tales and fantasy novels. They are just action moves and are based on our country's martial arts culture.
Tracing back to the origins of martial arts novels, there were stories about ghosts and monsters circulating in the pre-Qin period, and the concept of "xia" also emerged during the same period. However, the relatively complete prototype of martial arts novels was found in the notebook novels of the Tang Dynasty. The middle and late Tang Dynasty
During the period, the Anshi Rebellion ended, eunuchs gradually took power, the Niu-Li party struggle led to officials forming groups to fight against each other, and a large number of civil and military officials were killed during the Ganlu Rebellion.
People's officials were helpless in the face of political affairs, so they continued the creation of fantasy novels by literati in the Southern Dynasties, and created a large number of notebook novels. The concept of "jianghu" corresponding to the temple and full of strange people and strangers was born in it. Notebook novels
It is full of elements such as mystery, horror, supernatural, martial arts, and spiritual cultivation. The written content is mostly the secret history of the imperial court, exotic legends, anecdotes, and strange stories of celebrities.
Immortals, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, illusions, Taoism, etc. are important sources of today's fantasy novels. Whether it is Huanzhulouzhu, the source of contemporary martial arts novels, Jin Yong, Gu Long, the representative writers of the martial arts novel genre, to literary giants such as Lu Xun and Lao She,
His creations are all deeply influenced by notebook novels. Although, relatively speaking, martial arts novels are also greatly influenced by the public case novels and historical romance novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Influence, but the origin of martial arts, the real characteristic of martial arts, is not more scientific than Xuanxia, Xianxia, and fantasy. As for the internal force and energy system that appears in martial arts novels in modern and contemporary literature, in the novelist's writing, there is a certain
Theoretical logic is reasonable if it can serve the plot. As for some people's demand that the internal force and Qi system be in strict correspondence with scientific laws, it is really difficult.
In this book, Wang Yuanwei is the first person to clearly point out the realm of internal strength. His weapon is a three hundred kilogram Lengjin knife. He is also the person who uses the heaviest weapon so far in this book. The reason why he uses such a heavy weapon is that on the one hand, he is tall and muscular.
After being developed, and then using the inner strength and true energy to increase personal strength, the power will naturally be greater than what he can have under normal conditions. On the other hand, the Lengjin Sword is also not his common weapon, and he uses it against powerful enemies. Other realms of inner strength are different from Wang Yuanwei's.
Same or better
For Wang Yuanwei's character, the weapons generally used are still between ten and thirty kilograms. Firstly, they are easy to carry. Secondly, the weapons are small in size and light in weight. The martial arts moves that can be used are more flexible, but the power is not as powerful as that of heavy weapons.
That’s a lot. However, according to the setting of this book, as long as the character’s body is fully exercised and the accumulation of internal energy is deep enough, he can pick up objects weighing hundreds of kilograms, or shake objects weighing thousands of kilograms or even nearly ten thousand kilograms.
Do it.
In reality, some martial arts fighting enthusiasts can still perform dazzling martial arts routines with twenty or thirty kilograms of spears, but their physical strength may not be as good as that of fitness enthusiasts who focus on improving body dimensions and strength. The author's own bed
Although it is a little difficult to push up to 80 kilograms and lift 25 kilograms of dumbbells in each hand, you can still do several sets, but this level is only mid-range among fitness enthusiasts.
These big muscle tyrants can lift an adult weighing 120 pounds as easily as the Huanong Brothers lifting a chicken. It can be seen that even in reality, a person who has been doing professional fitness strength training all year round has extremely high physical fitness, and
Those who have learned the long weapon martial arts routines can demonstrate the routines with a sword weighing fifty or sixty kilograms and a heavy halberd. It is theoretically feasible, let alone characters in novels who have such mysterious powers as internal energy.
In martial arts novels, it is normal for characters to fly over walls and walls, jump several feet, even float on water, glide through the air, and carry items weighing hundreds of kilograms with flying speed. Even in reality, many professional parkour players rely on muscle strength and
The professional skills acquired through personal training can now be used to jump over walls of more than three meters and automatically climb on the roofs of urban buildings.
From shuttles and so on. There are a large number of parkour masters at home and abroad active in the city, shooting a large number of extremely difficult and breathtaking videos, and uploading them to various video websites. The light kung fu in martial arts novels is based on real characters
The actions that can be achieved, coupled with the bonuses provided by the internal energy system set by the author of the novel, are a reasonable fantasy.
Another example is the sound wave skills in martial arts novels, such as the lion's roar skill. From the literal description, they rely on high-volume sounds to vibrate other people's meridians and internal organs. However, in reality, those that can cause substantial damage to the human body are considered high-level skills.
Infrasound waves with oscillation amplitude (that is, sound waves with vibration frequency less than 20 Hz, do not enter the human hearing range, long wavelength, and some frequencies can easily induce resonance in the human body), ranging from nuclear bomb explosions, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, magnetic storms, tornadoes, to
When cars are moving, blowers and loudspeakers will all produce infrasound waves. Sonic martial arts can be understood as martial arts that are based on the internal energy system and emit infrasound waves to cause resonance damage to others. In this work, Liu Shiliang
Yun Longyin, Luo Qinghan's bitterness of separation, and Lu Ren's Tiger Roaring Kung Fu all fall into this category. Naturally, related derivatives can also include ultrasonic martial arts, such as the ability to use ultrasonic waves to shatter stones in the human body.
The miraculous effect of curing diseases and saving lives.
As for the true energy leaving the body, turning into a body-protecting shield, a weapon-wrapped sword, and even being able to wield sword energy through the air and melt metal with internal power, these are all within the scope of the internal energy and true energy system of characters in martial arts novels, and are in line with this mystery.
Behaviors based on the logic of power fantasy. As long as they are not moving mountains and reclaiming seas, destroying planets, breaking space, reversing time, traveling through dimensions, etc., which are obviously higher than what the conventional internal force and true energy system can achieve, it cannot be regarded as
Beyond the concept of martial arts.
To sum up, the essence of martial arts in martial arts culture is a mysterious fantasy power that is derived from the laws of reality but is divorced from the laws of reality. However, there are certain conventions and restrictions among the creators and cultural audiences, and they need to be coordinated with the power system.
There are different methods of Xianxia cultivation and expressiveness, including Zhongwu Xuanxia and Gaowu Xuanfan.
Cultivation methods have relatively clear distinctions. As long as the description and narrative of the creator meet the settings given by the creator, it can be regarded as reasonable. However, some people excessively pursue the logic of the connection between martial arts and reality, and want martial arts to be completely
It conforms to the laws of physics, chemistry and biology, and is really unreasonable and unreasonable.
