Pawn Crossing the River

"Have you read the preface?" Lei Xiaohuan tapped his finger on the table, "What do you think?"

Qi Xuansu replied: "Look up at the high mountains."

Lei Xiaohuan sighed: "It is true that the mountains are rising, and it also makes people yearn for that era when heroes competed for the throne. Maybe the Taoist sect at that time was just a grassroots team, far from being comparable to the Taoist sect today, but there were not a few heroes. ”

Pei Xiaolou said: "That's why Xuansheng invented the 'Xuansheng Card', it can be regarded as a kind of remembrance of the past."

Lei Xiaohuan said: "After hearing what you said, I am a little curious about this 'Xuansheng Card'. You can teach me how to play it."

Pei Xiaolou nodded quickly in agreement.

Qi Xuansu smiled secretly in his heart.

Pei Xiaolou may not be the kind of person who likes to talk down to women, but looking at him like this, he probably really can't beat Lei Xiaohuan, and it's not out of the so-called mentality of a man giving way to a weak woman.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think of himself.

Pei Xiaolou couldn't beat Lei Xiaohuan, but could he beat Zhang Yuelu? Can't beat it.

It is difficult to catch up with Zhang Yuelu.

Qi Xuansu was not thinking about attacking Zhang Yuelu, but thinking about how to protect himself.

Because among Taoist sects, it is not uncommon for husbands and wives to get into conflict with each other and go to war with each other. It can even be said to be very common. That was a real fight between husband and wife. There is no such thing as wife beating. After all, they are all cultivated. The difference in strength between men and women is nothing. Men may not have the advantage. There are many people who have been beaten to shame by their wives. exist.

For some reason, the Taoist sect's great leaders did not forbid such fighting, but only requested that no one be killed.

Because of this kind of competitiveness in cultivation, there are not a few couples who become enemies among gods and immortals, such as the Chongyang Patriarch and a strange woman among the five founders of Quanzhen Taoism.

Both of them are geniuses, and they were a match made in heaven.

There is no third party, male or female, to cause romantic turmoil between the two, nor is there any enmity or entanglement between relatives and friends. The Chongyang Patriarch had previously been too focused on major events such as resisting the Golden Horde and had no time to care about his children's personal affairs. However, the righteous master was ruined and lived in an ancient tomb. He came to comfort him. His tenderness and righteousness were deeply touching. At that time, there was nothing out of harmony. However, they still suffered the eternal hatred of Qing Tian. One became a monk and became a Taoist priest, and the other disappeared.

Changchun Master and his other disciples certainly didn't know the reason for this, and even the two people involved couldn't explain it clearly. They could only attribute it to the word "no fate". But they don’t know that the lack of fate is related to the “effect” rather than the “cause”. Since the two people have high levels of cultivation, they are very proud of themselves. Whenever their love grows, competition will arise when discussing Taoism and skills, and they will never be inferior to each other. There were not many fights, and the two of them continued to compete with each other until their deaths.

It can be seen that it is one thing to have a good relationship, but it is another thing for a couple to fight. After all, husband and wife are two completely different individuals and are not dependent on who is who. Some bumps into each other, conflicts and disputes are inevitable.

If two people have a dispute and it is difficult to tell right from wrong, Zhang Yuelu proposes a competition. Whoever wins will listen to whom. Should Qi Xuansu agree or not? Yes, you can't fight, but you can't fight, so you can only be obedient.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuelu was reasonable.

Qi Xuansu could only comfort himself in this way.

But having said that, Qi Xuansu was joking in his heart that Pei Xiaolou was the crow that fell on the coal pile, but if Pei Xiaolou knew what Qi Xuansu was thinking at this time, he would also laugh at Qi Xuansu. The marriage between the two has not yet been revealed, you can Is it too early to start thinking about this? Just like some young men, they have already thought about what to name their children as soon as they meet the woman.

Qi Xuansu collected his thoughts, turned over the title page, and began to read the boxing records.

To be fair, the language of the boxing book is very concise, and it will be very comfortable for people with a sufficient foundation. However, for people with no basic knowledge, this boxing book has a threshold, and the threshold is quite high.

To use the simplest analogy, a basic Taoist qi training formula begins with sitting in the posture of five hearts facing the sky. People who were born in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace will understand at a glance that the palms of the hands, the palms of the feet, and the top of the head are the five hearts. . But if you switch to ordinary people who have no foundation, they will inevitably wonder, what is Wu Xin Chaotian? There is only one human heart, so where do the five hearts come from? Still facing the sky? If you can't continue practicing, this is the threshold.

What's more, if you can't read a single big character, you will be blind. Then the threshold is even higher.

This is also the reason why the Wanxiang Taoist Palace offers ancient Chinese courses. Many ancient classics are recorded in ancient Chinese. For example, the ancient witchcraft classics are mainly written in oracle bones. The scripts used in ancient Taoist documents are also very different from the scripts commonly used today. Reading someone else's translation is always better than reading the original text yourself.

The same principle applies to boxing records. Tantaiyun is not making up teaching materials like Xuan Sheng did to create a huge system from day after tomorrow to immortality. She is just writing down and summarizing her own insights. It is more like taking notes casually. Naturally, she will not think about it. The question is whether you can read it or not.

However, there are a lot of annotations in the blank space next to the original text of the boxing manual, which should be written by Lei Xiaohuan. Looking at the handwriting, there are some old and new, and there are dots of circles. This is not Lei Xiaohuan's intention, but probably the insights she left behind when she was learning boxing.

With these annotations, Qi Xuansu seemed much easier and could understand most of it. Even if there is something you don’t understand, you can always ask Lei Xiaohuan who is right in front of you.

The martial artist's spirit and body are integrated, as if he has no soul, just like the stars and mountains and rivers. His energy and blood flow all over his body, creating an aura as high as the mountains and the abyss. This is different from the unity of heaven and man as a Qi practitioner, but another feeling. It is like an isolated mountain peak piercing the blue sky and reaching into the sky. It gives the impression that it is not one with the heaven and the earth, but that the sky is about to fall. It is all thanks to this mountain supporting it like a giant pillar that the sky will not collapse.

This kind of aura that is clearly a dead thing but still competes with the heaven and earth is the aura of a martial artist.

Therefore, the most common description of the fist intention is "the fist intention is like a mountain". It is not as sharp as the sword intention. It must be thick and powerful, like a mountain or a ridge, which cannot be broken by ten thousand people, rather than charging into the battle.

Because of this, warriors in the innate human stage mainly rely on the reality of blood and energy to fight against alchemists. After reaching the heavenly and human stage, the alchemist's spells escape from reality and become reality, getting closer and closer to reality. The reality of blood and energy alone can no longer be restrained, and warriors can no longer control it. Must resist with fist intention.

As for how to condense the fist's intention, the key lies in the warrior's state of mind connecting to the heavens corresponding to the stage of return to true nature.

The Qi Refiner refines essence and transforms Qi, and refines Qi and transforms it into spirit. The warrior blindly condenses the essence and blood but does not turn it into true energy, and uses the essence and blood to strengthen his body. Even the soul and the body are integrated into one body. Unless he transfers to the earthly immortal path or the divine immortal path, he can no longer be separated.

In this case, the warrior's body is equal to the soul, and the soul is equal to the body. To strengthen the body is to strengthen the soul in disguise. It is equivalent to the warrior skipping the process of transforming Qi and refining Qi, and directly going from refining to transforming into God. The transformation of the warrior Shen is both the physical spirit and the fist spirit that "sees God and is not broken".

The meaning of the fist comes from blood, but not blood. It is like a Taoist priest refining an elixir. The raw materials and the elixir are two completely different things, but they are closely related. How to arrange and combine the raw materials to refine the elixir is the key.

"Tantai Boxing Yi" bluntly stated that this arrangement and combination is to imitate the power of mountains, rivers and stars. Beginners to boxing can learn from monkeys, insects, tigers and dragons. From high to deep, they can learn from mountains, rivers, and stars and seas. .

When Qi Xuansu saw this, he suddenly had an enlightenment and remembered the scene when Wu Luo appeared.

A huge phantom of a woman stands tall against the sky. It is not her real body, but an outline composed of clouds, mountain peaks, lakes, rivers and the earth, filled with a wild atmosphere.

In other words, as long as the direction and angle are slightly changed, the outline of this woman will no longer be visible. Only at a specific angle can this scene be seen.

One advantage of such an image is that it has no substance and cannot be contacted, just like a mirage.

These methods have the same effect but different approaches.
