Chapter 20: The Decline of Xianshu and the Rise of Martial Arts
() "Brother Han Li, you have got the secret book, you can let me go." Li Heishi glanced at the study door and looked at Li Minghui with a flattering smile on his face.
"Sorry, I lied." As he said that, Han Li jumped up suddenly.
"Brother, you..." Li Heishe's eyes widened and he was about to speak.
"Poof." There was a very slight sound, and a blood hole appeared on his temple.
Li Heishe's eyes were round and motionless, with unwillingness in his eyes.
Han Li didn't even look at him, turned around and left quietly.
…
At his home in the west of the city, Han Li lit an oil lamp and opened a few pages of yellow paper.
"Hong Family Iron Fist, the name just sounds like that kind of powerful kung fu." Han Li was curious in his heart, and at the same time he was a little excited. Although he was not weak in strength, his physical fitness was improved by the Butian Pei, and he couldn't do it at all.
Compared with those who really understand martial arts, maybe these few pages of yellow paper can change his situation.
Looking past the title on the first line, Han Li discovered that it actually contained the notes of a warrior named Hong Tiesheng.
"This Hong Tiesheng is the founder of the Hong Family Iron Fist."
Han Li read quickly, because the first page talked about how Hong Tiesheng founded the Hong Family Iron Fist. After reading about one-third of the first page, Han Li began to study it carefully, because from this point on
The text turned out to be - On the decline of immortality and the rise of martial arts.
"Based on the countless historical records that I have studied and the secret books and unofficial histories that I have consulted, I have found that after the prehistoric times, it has become increasingly difficult to cultivate to the realm of immortals."
Han Li couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw this sentence. Anyway, before his adventure in Tushan, he had never seen an immortal before.
"Also, the history of the rise of martial arts, although the major sects falsely claim that it is five thousand years old, in fact, the longest history of 'Zhenwu Xuanggong' was only created by Zhenwu Patriarch, and it is less than a thousand years ago. That is,
It is said that martial arts only appeared in the past thousand years. What about the years before? What about the even more distant legendary prehistoric times?"
Han Li saw it and couldn't help but resonate with it.
Is the nine-tailed fox fairy in Tushan who has transformed into a rainbow, practicing martial arts that only appeared in the past thousand years? Obviously not.
In the previous dynasty, King Wu of Shang Dynasty was able to carry the cauldron because he practiced martial arts. However, facing the calamity experienced by the Nine-tailed Fox Fairy, he would probably turn into ashes after just one stroke.
"Hong Tiesheng is right." Han Li continued to look down.
"I spent more than ten years collecting information, and finally I have a clear conclusion in my mind."
"My inference is that after the prehistoric times, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been declining sharply!"
"According to a lot of information I found, there was no such thing as martial arts a thousand years ago. The strong men at that time absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, that is, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which caused airflows to be generated in their bodies. As they practiced, this airflow
They are getting stronger and stronger, their lives are intertwined, and they are extremely tyrannical. They have a common name, they are Qi Practitioners."
"The goal of these Qi practitioners is to become immortals, live for more than 10,000 years, and even be able to ascend to the legendary heaven."
"Qi practitioners are strong or weak, and their levels are distinct. From low to high, they are divided into power realm, qi realm, divine realm, virtual realm, Tao realm, and fairy realm. The strong ones in the fairy realm are the peak strong ones and possess incredible strength.
According to ancient legend, one does not eat grains, inhales the wind and drinks the dew, rides on the clouds, rides on the flying dragon, and travels across the four seas. His skin is like ice and snow, his body is like a virgin, his clothes are made of silk and the wind is his horse, and he travels to the north and returns home at dusk.
Mountain!"
Han Li saw it and felt incredible!
Although he had vaguely seen the Nine-tailed Fox Immortal going through the heavenly calamity, he had no intuitive feeling for the Immortal's true ability.
"It's incredible, but I can't find any reason to object." Han Li's eyes showed longing.
He continued reading.
"But after the prehistoric times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to decline sharply."
"And according to some records of various sects, starting from two thousand years ago, there were fewer and fewer people cultivating Qi, and later even a divine realm no longer appeared. In the last thousand years, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been absorbed and refined into
It’s almost impossible to control the internal energy.”
Han Li looked at it and sighed secretly.
First, no one reached the divine realm anymore, and later, it became impossible to practice at all.
"This situation makes many sect seniors nervous. Since the path of being a Qi practitioner like our ancestors is no longer feasible, of course they will find a way to take another path."
Han Li nodded slightly. If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will succeed!
"In the prehistoric era, only unskilled Qi practitioners could do pure physical training, because at that time the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant, and even ordinary beasts were extremely powerful. How could one rely on the strength of the physical body to survive in the dangerous environment at that time?
Survive.”
"But now that the way to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been cut off, this has caused generations of outstanding figures to devote themselves to the research of finding another way. As time goes by, until the Zhenwu Patriarch turns up and obtains the relics of the prehistoric immortals
, after several studies, I finally created a martial arts system, which quickly became popular."
"After the vigorous promotion of Zhenwu Patriarch, in a short period of time, martial arts showed strong adaptability and gradually formed its own system..."
The note ends abruptly here, and the rest of the content is on the lost yellow paper.
Han Li was still unfinished, but he could only close the yellow paper in his hand. Although he did not discover the Hong family's Iron Wire Fist training method, he still felt that he had gained a lot.
In the prehistoric period, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. People learned to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which made them extremely powerful. They could even become terrifying immortals and finally ascend to the legendary heaven.
But the aura of heaven and earth has declined sharply, what should humans do?
After generations of hard work and countless talented seniors, the martial arts system was formed!
Until now, although he has only met Gu You who practices martial arts, it is conceivable that there are countless masters more powerful than Gu You, hiding among all living beings. It is even possible that they are the real masters of the Zhou Dynasty.
.
"These pages of yellow paper have signs of being torn off. It should be that Gu You had destroyed the boxing technique when he handed it to Li Heishe!" Han Li said thoughtfully, "Although the current martial arts system and cultivation level are all on it.
Although it is incomplete, I have also benefited a lot. However, if I have the opportunity in the future, I must understand the system and training levels of martial arts, and even learn a martial arts."
Han Li was not disappointed because he couldn't get the Hong family's Iron Fist skills. Instead, he felt that he had gained a lot and his eyes were clear!
"I really don't know why the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to decrease sharply after the prehistoric period." Han Li thought to himself, "Is it because the immortals who ascended through tribulations during the prehistoric period took away a large amount of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? Or is there some unknown change that occurred?"
After reading a few pages of yellow paper, it was already the fourth update.
After putting away a few pages of yellow paper, he hurriedly washed up, turned off the oil lamp, and lay down on the bed.
Hong Tiesheng's notes shocked Han Li a lot. According to Hong Tiesheng's records, Zhenwu Patriarch also obtained the relics of the prehistoric immortals. I don't know if they have been passed down. However, even if there are treasures from the prehistoric era that have been handed down, the number is not very large.
There will be many. And there will definitely not be treasures like the Butian Pendant that contain pure Yang treasures. After all, Immortal Nuwa has survived the catastrophe, and there are only a few such characters in the prehistoric times.
