Chapter 67 Baopuzi, Lu Zushu (4000 words, please subscribe)

"Mr. Fang, let me read a book." Xia Ming said with a smile.

"You are indeed diligent enough. Let me introduce to you that these two old men are also members of our Lin'an Martial Arts Association." Fang Daosheng looked at the two people beside him.

"This is Lao Chen, the successor of Chen's Tai Chi. His strength is pretty good."

Xia Ming looked at the other person. He was not tall, less than 1.7 meters tall. Although he was over sixty years old, he had a strong body and bright eyes, but he felt that he was not as strong as Fang Daosheng.

These masters of martial arts did not make him shine, and they were far from extraordinary. They were just a little better than ordinary people.

Just like Fang Daosheng, Xia Ming has fought with him. In terms of actual combat lethality, he should be inferior to boxing champion Tyson.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Old Chen looked at Xia Ming carefully, thinking that he was here to study, so he smiled and pointed:

"Young man, it looks like he is a good model in martial arts. I will learn more from Lao Fang in the future. He has real skills."

After hearing this, Fang Daosheng's face twitched slightly, but he didn't say much.

Only he and Jiang Qi know Xia Ming's strength. According to Xia Ming's wishes, he will naturally keep it strictly confidential.

"This is Lao Zhou. He practices Bajiquan. He is powerful and strong, and his strength is not weaker than mine."

Xia Ming took a closer look and saw that he was a tall old man with various scars on his body and a vague murderous aura. His eyes were particularly cold and serious, a bit like a god of murder walking out of the battlefield.

However, the opponent's strength is estimated to be not at Fang Daosheng's level, but it gives him a somewhat terrifying feeling.

"He has killed more than one person!" Xia Ming looked sternly.

“I’ve met Senior Zhou!”

Lao Zhou just nodded coldly and continued to practice Bajiquan. The vertical and horizontal movements of his body were like opening and closing, majestic. It was Bajiquan that was very famous in the martial arts world and was famous for its combat power.

Wen has Tai Chi to calm the world, Wu has Baji to control the universe.

That is to say, Bajiquan is famous for its killing power and strong combat power. It is mostly practiced by soldiers to kill enemies and protect their homes and countries.

"Xia Ming, you can just go to the study and read. Let us three old men stretch our muscles." Fang Daosheng said with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Fang, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, I'll go in first."

Xia Ming said hello and went straight to the library, flipping through the classics.

"The Xingyi Breathing Technique and the Yi Jin Marrow Cleansing Sutra have already been understood by me. Others, such as Bajiquan, Changsheng Baduanjin, Tai Chi, etc., can be learned. For me, I can learn them very quickly.

"

These types of classics are available in martial arts associations.

In today's era of thermal weapons, the power of technology far exceeds everything else, while the power of individuals has become fragile.

In Daxia, the inheritance of major martial arts schools and the inheritance classics of their own schools have long ceased to be cherished.

Besides, in the martial arts world, there is also a saying that "a true teaching requires ten years of hard work."

With just the secret book, if you don't have anyone to guide you, if you want to cultivate your strength, it will be impossible at all.

But this didn't pose any difficulty to Xia Ming.

After a while, Xia Ming learned the Tai Chi spectrum, Baji Quan spectrum, Baduanjin, etc. and included them in the data panel. As long as there is enough bioenergy, you can add points to improve them.

After learning traditional Chinese martial arts, Xia Ming focused his attention on Taoist classics.

Previously, he also tried to learn and comprehend Taoist classics, but found it extremely difficult, unable to understand or learn them at all.

Today, he is no longer what he used to be. If you read Taoist classics again, you should gain something.

"The Taoist school has a long history. Whether it is Shaolin, Buddhism, Xingyi, Baji, Tai Chi, etc., they all essentially originated from Taoism.

Taoism is the root of all martial arts schools in Daxia."

Xia Ming found a discussion on the origin of Taoism from the bookshelf. Only by carefully checking the ins and outs of Taoism and famous figures in history could he better search for various classics.

"Taoism has a long history and has been passed down since the pre-Qin era. The earliest Taoist classic should be the Huangdi Neijing, but in my opinion, it is more like a medical book with very little content about cultivation."

Xia Ming roughly browsed through the thread-bound version of the "Huangdi Neijing". It was somewhat similar to the "Book of Mountains and Seas". Although it was very old, it had been passed down for thousands of years and the content of cultivation had long been lost. It was used to cultivate one's character and peep into the glory of ancient times.

Can.

"Next, it should be the "Book of Changes" and other classics, Taoist divination and the like. They are too obscure and difficult to understand. It is very difficult to study them thoroughly in a short time."

The Martial Arts Association's collection of books is indeed very large, and whether they are true or false, they all look decent.

As time goes by, these books, in addition to Xingyiquan, Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Baduanjin, etc., can also cultivate some sects that are different from ordinary people.

According to Fang Daosheng, these Taoist classics cannot be practiced at all. They are only used to cultivate one's moral character and cultivate one's sentiments.

If it weren't for the data panel, Xia Ming wouldn't have come to study Taoist classics.

"Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" should be a symbol of the formation of Taoism. After reading it through, I feel that "Tao Te Ching" seems to contain special principles that I can't understand now.

Moreover, I always feel that the content in the "Tao Te Ching" is somewhat familiar, as if I have heard it in the dream world."

Xia Ming's eyes were bright and sparkling. He flipped through the "Tao Te Ching" for a while and then put it down solemnly. All the contents recorded in the book were engraved in his heart.

With an intelligence attribute of up to 160, he can read ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory. His learning ability is much higher than that of the outstanding geniuses in history.

"Besides the Tao Te Ching, the second most important figure in Taoism is Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" and "The Master of Health" seem to be methods of cultivation, but they feel like they are missing something.

core content.

Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why the inheritance of Qi practitioners from the pre-Qin period has not been handed down."

Xia Ming also yearned greatly for the Pre-Qin Qi practitioners and the corresponding Pre-Qin breathing methods.

"On the land of Daxia, traces of the Pre-Qin Breathing Technique may only be found in major museums or some ancient tombs."

Xia Ming continued to read books.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Taoism only emerged in the early Western Han Dynasty, and then quickly declined and was replaced by Confucianism.

"Further down, famous Taoist figures include Ge Hong, Li Chunfeng, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Sanfeng, etc. The content of Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" is about the Jindan Dao, and Lu Dongbin's "Lu Zushu" records the Taoist Qi

Law……"

Xia Ming found the works of Ge Hong and Lu Dongbin and studied them carefully.

Compared with the works of Lao and Zhuang, the classics of these two representatives of Taoism undoubtedly record more content, are clearer, and also contain some cultivation methods.

Xia Ming looked at it for a long time, and his mind was completely absorbed in it, absorbing the essence of Daxia Taoism.

I don't know how long it took, but it was already three o'clock in the morning. Xia Ming finally finished reading "Baopuzi" and "Lv Zushu" and understood something in his heart.

"For me, Ge Hong's Jindan Dao is of great reference value. But Lu Dongbin's breath-taking method may be more useful. If you can add some introduction, you can also verify some of my guesses."

Xia Ming has a question: is the earth on earth in the Age of Ending Law, or is it something else.

"When I cook, is the mysterious factor that goes into the dishes the legendary aura of heaven and earth?"

Xia Ming couldn't explain what the essence of the mysterious factor was. It was a special substance that seemed to be everywhere. No matter where Xia Ming cooked, it had the same effect.

He also discovered that as his experience in cooking skills increased, the total amount of mysterious factors incorporated would increase.

At the entry-level level of cooking skills, if the total amount of mysterious factors integrated is 1, at the master level of cooking skills, the total amount of mysterious factors integrated will be directly doubled to 100.

At the same time, the total amount of mysterious factors incorporated is also related to the characteristics of some food ingredients.

Just like frying a dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes and frying a dish of Kung Pao Chicken, the total amount of mysterious factors incorporated is different, and it is not necessarily less in the former and more in the latter.

"I have already learned the two Taoist classics, Golden elixir avenue and Qi-eating method. After a little practice, they will be included in the data panel and can be improved by adding points."

From Xia Ming's point of view, these two cultivation methods are not more advanced than the Xingyi Breathing Method and the Yi Jin Cleansing Marrow Sutra.

On the contrary, it is somewhat simple, but the threshold for understanding is extremely high.

From ancient times to the present, all aspects of knowledge have progressed step by step.

It can be said that "the present will win over the past", even for various cultivation methods. With the support of today's various high-tech equipment, as well as the popularization of the Internet and the development of transportation, true martial arts enthusiasts can better

Learn and communicate Chinese martial arts.

Therefore, in terms of strength, it may not necessarily be much worse than the ancients.

But there is also a problem. Cultivation, whether it is Chinese martial arts or Taoism, requires a lot of resources, whether it is rare treasures from heaven and earth, or flowers, plants and animals.

However, many species and herbs can no longer be found in today's era, which may also be a factor affecting the progress of strength.

"I have gained a lot today. As long as I have accumulated enough bioenergy, I can try it. Take a look at how magical the legendary golden elixir avenue and the breath-taking method are."

Xia Ming still has great expectations for Taoist classics.

"Mr. Fang, let me take these books back and study them."

Xia Ming found Fang Daosheng and gave instructions to him about "Baopuzi", "Lu Zushu", "Xiaoyaoyou", etc.

Fang Daosheng was drinking tea with Mr. Zhou and Mr. Chen. When he saw Xia Ming coming out, he said with a smile:

"Xia Ming, if you want to read it, just take it yourself and remember to return it. These classics were exchanged from all over Daxia, so they are of some collection value."
