Chapter 85: Mysteries (Part 1)
Chapter 85: All kinds of mysteries
After arranging for Jiang Xu, Shangguan Lu opened the book that Jiang Xu brought back to read. It seemed that just the first sentence of the opening chapter attracted Shangguan Lu deeply.
After placing Jiang Gui in place, Shangguan Lu walked out of the room, casually opened the book in his hand and took a look. He was immediately attracted by the first sentence of the opening chapter.
"A warrior's journey is limited to nine. The myriad shapes and meanings that a warrior understands are all beyond his left and right. The five elements form the foundation, the four spirits determine the universe, the five elements unite as the center, and the four spirits guard one side."
"The five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, cycle back and forth endlessly..."
"Four spirits, wind, thunder, yin and yang perform one side..."
"Jin Rui's wood machine uses water to moisten fire and transform it into earth spirit, metal weapons are good at cutting, wood weapons are good at medicine, water weapons are good at fighting, fire weapons are unpredictable, earth weapons are indestructible, and the five elements combined with martial arts are powerful..."
"There are spirits in the four directions, the wind spirit is light and elegant, the thunder spirit is wild and explosive, the yin spirit is delicate and sinister, the yang spirit is vast and open-minded, everything in the heaven and earth is right and opposite, closed when combined, life and death..."
······
The more Shangguan Lu read, the more obsessed he became. The more he read, the more surprised he became. The more he read, the more delighted he became. He flipped his fingers and carefully read the descriptions in the book. They were all about practice problems that he had been confused about for a long time. Shangguan Lu was inevitably a little hesitant.
How could the master of Fei Caotang be willing to trade a practice book that can be called a sacred object? Not to mention ten Qingluo jade coins, even a hundred or a thousand are definitely worth it. Is there another reason behind it?
The truth is not as complicated as Shangguan Lu thought. The shopkeeper of Fei Caotang is just trying to catch a rabbit. Since someone is trying every possible means to get in touch with him, for the safety and confidentiality of Fei Caotang, they naturally have to come forward. After all, Fei Caotang has its own identity.
It looked like it was a shop in Wumian Yishi. A deal was made here to prevent Fei Caotang from being too obtrusive, and then people were sent to intercept all the people and goods directly.
Who would have thought that the trick that had tried hundreds of times before failed with Jiang Gui, which not only completely exposed the existence of Fei Caotang, but also allowed Jiang Gui to take away the only copy of the book. As soon as the incident failed, Fei Caotang
The mysterious shopkeeper of the thatched cottage found Qian Toad, who helped him connect with Jiang Gui. After interrogating him in every possible way, he found nothing, and still could not find out the true details of Jiang Gui.
Qian Toad and his shop assistants were brutally murdered, and Fei Caotang also disappeared overnight. Thinking of the young Wang family from Huang County who had been nostalgic for Yi City some time ago, various versions began to circulate in Yi City.
It even went beyond ritual assassination for a time.
Shangguan Lu closed the classics in his hands, sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and fell into a state of concentration.
"Since the five elements are five numbers, they must each have their own merits. I have always combined the five into one, and I feel that internal energy is internal energy. Just like that, it should be very biased. Let's test it for the time being to test the guess in my mind."
"The metal of the lungs, the wood of the liver, the water of the kidneys, the fire of the heart, and the earth of the spleen, choose one of them to lead the four elements, and use the path of mutual growth to nourish the five acupoints. Its effect should be far beyond the current, but metal is too beneficial.
Wood is too changeable, fire is too strong, and earth is too dull, so water is the most suitable for the time being."
"Water acts first, and the way of mutual growth in the door should be to supplement it with gold and make it abundant with water. Earth generates gold, fire supplements earth, and wood strengthens fire. This is how it should be."
······
What a warrior cultivates is the warrior's own understanding of the will of heaven and earth, and what he practices is the warrior's own different understanding of the power of martial arts. Shangguan Lu always remembers that his master Liu Yan reminded him and Shangguan Yuan of his words many times. When a warrior practices, he walks
Your path is always your own, so when it comes to practice, Shangguan Lu never adheres to rules, let alone follows the old ways.
Shangguan Lu's idea is simple. The inner strength of a warrior is the strength of a person, and the power of the five elements should be the strength of heaven and earth. Since a warrior can understand the form and meaning, and absorb the will of heaven and earth into his body, should the form and meaning in the body of a warrior also be the strength of the human being?
, the inner strength of a warrior is obtained by understanding the form and meaning. The power of action is naturally more advanced than the strength of strength and is close to the heaven and earth. After all, even the form and meaning understood by the warrior is just a microcosm of the will of heaven and earth.
Shangguan Lu himself comprehends the pure meaning of the Five Elements. Compared with other warriors, his internal energy is stronger and accumulates faster. Of course, if he uses the power of the Five Elements in his body to cultivate the acupoints and meridians all over his body, he will naturally be better than others.
It is even more advantageous, because the Xia clan warriors basically have a very single perception of form and meaning, and the power of action in the body is almost undetectable. Using the power of action to nourish the acupoints and meridians all over the body is not that no one has thought about it this way, but it is not that no one has thought about it.
If you dare to try easily, no one can bear the price of failure. Either the advanced practice will be like a turtle crawling, or the power of action in the body will be exhausted, and there will be no possibility of becoming a warrior in this life. Only Shangguan Lu is in a special situation and can afford this luxury.
Try one or two.
Shangguan Lu followed his idea and began to mobilize the power of the five elements in his body to continuously try to use the power of action to nourish the acupoints. Gradually, he found that the power of action in his body seemed to be somewhat special and would not dissipate slowly as recorded in the classics.
disappear, but will gradually grow as the power of the water element disappears, but whether it is the elimination of the power of the water element or the growth of the power of the five elements, it is very, very slow. If he had not been worried about this and paid attention to it, it would have been absolutely difficult to detect.
.
Shangguan Lu carefully controlled the speed of nourishing the acupoints, keeping the elimination of the power of water always lower than the increase of the power of the five elements. It took nearly twelve hours before he again nourished the acupoints in the abdomen that had been cultivated with internal energy.
Once again, what made Shangguan Lu happy was that the acupoints that had been cultivated with the power of action were wider than before, and the internal energy accumulated in them was also stronger.
At the same time, Shangguan Lu discovered that the difficulty of cultivating this acupoint was far more difficult than before. Not only did it require a lot of effort to control the depletion of energy, but it also took too much time... Even if Shangguan Lu had a unique advantage, if
The acupoints and meridians are all cultivated by the power of action. Not only will it take a long time, but it may even take ten or eight years to complete.
Everything that is bad must be good. Shangguan Lu also clearly sensed that by using force to nourish the acupoints and meridians, the foundation will undoubtedly be more solid, and the strength will be extremely strong. At the peak of the martial arts warrior, the internal energy can be compared to that of the top martial artist, and it will appear liquefied.
In this state, his strength is naturally far superior to that of warriors in the same realm. This is still with the power of water, what if it is the power of the five elements? Wouldn't it be even more terrifying? Shangguan Lu was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to make a decision for a while.
"Both Master and Senior Shencai have said that entering the stream is the beginning of a warrior. Whether the foundation is solid or not will directly affect the future of the warrior's journey. The previous cultivation of internal energy is completely different from the current cultivation of physical strength.
But... which one is better and which one is worse?"
"In my understanding of the five elements, gold is gold. It is neither sharp nor sharp. Gold is called Congge. Follower means obedience and obedience. Change means change. Therefore, it means extension, transformation, hardness and softness, and hardness.
It is sharp and sharp, but soft and can change into thousands of different forms."
"Where's the wood? It's called Quzhi!"
"Where's the water? It's called Runxia!"
"Where's the fire? It's called Sun Yan Shang!"
"Where's the soil? It's called farming!"
"The five elements each have their own characteristics, but they are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing. They neither exist independently, but they are dependent on each other. They cycle endlessly and are indispensable."
"I understand the five elements based on the cycle of life and death of green grass. I understand the five elements. Metal is gold, wood is wood, water is water, fire is fire, and earth is earth. The sharpness of gold becomes gold, the strongness of gold becomes gold, and the leather of gold becomes gold.
Since they are both gold, they are also my gold. Whether they are sharp or strong, they are all gold. Since they are gold, they are my gold. Why should we restrain ourselves?"
"Hey, after all, my martial heart is dusty, which makes my original heart obscure and unable to reveal my true self. During the time I entered the Imperial Academy, I gradually became a little obsessed with the library and classics. The warriors in the world have thousands of thoughts and feelings, but after all, they belong to others. Warriors should be
It is necessary to clearly understand the original mind, and to doubt but not to doubt. To learn, you need to be doubtful."
"Only by staying true to your original intention can you persevere. It seems that I am too greedy. The flowers in the world are dazzling, but I am only loyal to the green grass. Only by enduring loneliness can I maintain prosperity. How can I refuse the trough when I am greedy for the peak."
"Now that I have clearly understood my original mind, the method is feasible. The five elements are interdependent and interdependent. There is a cycle of reincarnation. Life after life should be an opportunity for me to practice. Since it is an opportunity, why should I go against my original intention? Yun Yang acupoint,
Meridians, it’s time to do it.”
