By the river not far from Tote, an old man and a young man were sitting on the ground.

"Have you all taken down the summary of martial arts I gave you yesterday?" Old Wu said with a pretentious look.

Wu Rina looked at Muren, and then looked at Shao Xi with Muren, but Shao Xi had an expression like "Why are you looking at me?"

Don't ask, yesterday's talk was all in vain. Old Wu shook his head helplessly.

"Old Wu, you talked so much all at once yesterday, it's hard for you to remember it." Shao Xi said with a look of complaint.

Lao Wu blew his beard, stared and said, "You have to call me Master when teaching."

Shao Xi lazily replied, "Yes, Master——."

"You have the nerve to say that? If it wasn't because you had to take a dump yesterday, you wouldn't have just said that much. You have to make up for it today."

Thinking of the scene where Shao Xi tore up the secret book yesterday, Old Wu suddenly felt a lawsuit on his forehead. He said in his heart: "I never noticed it before! Why has this kid become so cool now?"

When this matter was mentioned, Shao Xi felt extremely unhappy. He muttered, "Isn't it my fault that you stole my paper? Do you know how hard the grass is around here?"

Just as the two were arguing vigorously, Uzhina had been attracted by the butterflies flying in the grass next to her and didn't hear what they were saying at all.

Among the few people, only Muren was relatively normal and asked Lao Wu seriously: "Master, you said at the beginning yesterday that if you want to become a top master, you must practice Qi, Yi, Shi, and Xing together.

Can you explain it to us in more detail?"

"Ahem!" Old Wu immediately put away his expression of wanting to strangle Shao Xi to death.

He said solemnly: "Yesterday I talked to you about the relationship between Qi and mind method, intention and exercise method, style and technique, form and body method, so today I will talk about the differences between martial arts."

Shao Xi interjected: "There is no point in dividing the matter, just do it directly. It is not only a matter of life and death, but also a matter of life and death."

After saying that, this guy even pretended to hold Feng Yuxiu's fists together.

When Lao Wu heard this, he was happy. "What you said is true. However, if you can't learn superior martial arts, guess who will die after doing it?"

"Uh--! I can't beat anyone anyway, so you continue."

Old Wu rolled his eyes vigorously and continued: "Except for the advantages and disadvantages of various martial arts, in terms of the way of practicing martial arts, it can be divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. Superior martial arts refers to

The four methods we mentioned before are practiced together; the medium method means only practicing three of them; and the inferior method means only practicing two of them."

Shao Xi interjected again, "Why don't you just practice one of them?"

Old Wu's nose was almost crooked with anger, and he said angrily: "Just practicing one of them is not a good thing at all. At most, it can be regarded as a skill among ordinary people, and it cannot be regarded as martial arts."

Then he said: "This is a bit complicated to say, so I will give you examples one by one."

"If you see a martial artist with strong internal energy, excellent kung fu, and powerful moves, but only slow movements and poor body skills, then this person must have only practiced the mind, kung fu, and techniques, but not the body.

Such people like to confront their enemies head-on;"

"If a person has strong internal Qi, superb body skills, and can move as he pleases, but never faces the enemy head-on, and only relies on sneak attacks, then this person has probably only practiced mind skills, kung fu skills, and body skills, and has not practiced techniques.

People who pursue a fatal blow are more common among assassins;"

"If you have excellent internal strength, versatile moves, and a nimble body, but you can only hurt the enemy at close range when making moves, and cannot control the air through the air, then you have only practiced mental skills, technical skills, and body skills, but not martial arts.

This kind of melee strength is very strong, so don’t let it get close;”

"If you can do whatever you want with your body, shape, and moves, but cannot cause too much damage to you, no need to ask, this person has not cultivated his mind. This kind of person does not consume internal energy and likes to fight protracted battles to defeat his opponent bit by bit.

Grind to death."

"You said it's so complicated. Who would care so much about the fight?" Shao Xi was quite unconvinced.

"Are you a pig? We started fighting. The opponent's movements are inflexible and his air control skills are imprecise. Can he attack from a distance? How much damage is caused when he hits your air shield? If you can't even see this, you

You can just pack up and die."

Seeing that the argument was about to start again, Muren hurriedly changed the subject and asked: "Master said this should be the middle grade, what about the low grade?"

"There are the most people who practice low-level martial arts. Most of the people who travel in the world are like this."

"Some people don't like to fight and are afraid of getting beaten, so they only practice mental methods and exercises. This is how the golden bell came about;"

"Some people pursue regulating the inner breath and strengthening the body, so they only practice mental methods and techniques. It's like those old men who dance swords in the air early in the morning. Don't mess with them. It's enough for you."

"Some people know how to use their body shape to convey artistic conception and pursue elegance and agility, so they practice martial arts and body skills. The dancers in the hook bar are all like this;"

"Some people are forced to make a living by performing and imitating, so they practice skills and body skills. The actors on the stage fall into this category;"

"Most of the people who are brave and fierce and travel around the world are practicing martial arts and techniques. There are too many of them, and there are too many of these so-called martial arts secrets, all over the ground;"

"The last one is those like me who rely on physical skills to make a living. They practice mental and physical skills. As for what this kind of skill is suitable for? You can think about it yourself."

As soon as Old Wu finished speaking, Shao Xi couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. Old Wu's face turned red when he saw it.

Muren was such an honest child that he blurted out without even thinking, "It turns out that master practices inferior martial arts."

Ouch! Old Wu said he wanted to dig through a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Shao Xi added fuel to the fire and said: "Your 'fatal body skills' are not very good either. You just turn off the engine and break down while running."

Lao Wu explained with an embarrassment: "Actually, my body method can be regarded as an intermediate or superior body method in terms of its advantages and disadvantages. It's just that I learned the wrong mental method at the beginning, which prevented me from fully displaying my body method. Otherwise,

My body skills will not be like this either."

"Hey! Didn't you say yesterday that mental skills are the foundation of martial arts? How did you manage to make it crooked from the very beginning?"

Lao Wu thought that gloating about his misfortune would not end well, but he still replied: "Oh! I was young and ignorant at that time. An old beggar on the roadside said that I would become a great talent because of my wonderful bones, and that I would police the evil and punish the rapists in the future.

It's up to me to maintain world peace, so I sold you a secret book of mental methods for five copper coins."

Shao Xi jumped up from the ground and said in surprise: "Tathagata Palm?"

"What Tathagata Palm? What kind of palm technique is that? What I bought is the heart technique."

"What's the name of the mental method you bought?"

"It's called "The Study of Yin Zheng Jing", what's wrong?"

"Damn it! It's called 'Research on Yin Seriousness'. This name doesn't sound serious. Were you deceived by the extras from some crew?"

"What crew? What extras? What are those?" Old Wu looked confused.

Shao Xi was dying and was about to burst out laughing. His hand pointing at Old Wu was shaking as if he had a stroke. He never dreamed that what happened to Old Wu was so familiar.

"Tell me about you, tell me about you, what do you want me to say about you? No, I have to go aside and laugh for a while..."

When Muren saw this situation, in order to avoid Lao Wu's further embarrassment, he quickly ran out to smooth things over.

"Master, you mentioned dancers, actors, and - you earlier, are these considered martial arts practitioners?"

His apprentice put him together with dancers and actors, and Lao Wu felt even more embarrassed. But looking back, it seems that what he did was not as good as the dancers and actors.

"Don't underestimate this type of people. How do you know if they are hidden masters? As long as these people have a chance, they are very likely to become middle-level martial arts practitioners."

At this time, Uzhina also became eager to learn. She asked: "Master, the choice of mental method you talked about yesterday was the most difficult one. So what mental method should we practice?"

When Old Wu saw that he finally no longer had to answer embarrassing questions, he quickly said to Wu Zhina: "It was originally difficult to make a choice, but the mental methods I gave you are all the best mental methods of martial arts masters in the world.

The cultivation of meridians and qi sea are of great help, you just need to practice with peace of mind."

Shao Xi on the side was still out of breath because he laughed too hard. He crawled over and asked: "What should I do? I have been practicing the "Xianyu Heart Technique" for such a long time, and now you have done it again

This "Taichang Heart Sutra" comes, which one should I practice?"

"Two together! Why do we have to choose? Only children make choices!"

Shao Xi looked at Old Wu in shock, and it took him a long time to say, "Be honest, where did you learn this sentence?"

Old Wu was twirling his sparse beard, waiting proudly for Shao Xi to ask him why he could practice two mental methods at the same time. Who would have thought that this guy would say such a thing.

"Where did you learn it? Isn't it like this? You can practice two mental methods at the same time, so why do you have to choose?"

Only then did Shao Xi realize what the central idea of ​​their conversation was. He quickly asked: "Yes, yes, yes. What I want to ask is, didn't you just say yesterday that martial arts and mental methods cannot be practiced at the same time? Why now?

Is it okay again?”

"Of course others can't, but you can, because you are from the Wenwu lineage. Only people with the Wenwu lineage will not have an overlap in process when they practice two mental methods at the same time. On the contrary, practicing two mental methods at the same time will lead to

The meridians and the qi sea form a superposition. Didn’t Taoist Immortal tell you that?”

Shao Xi stared at Old Wu with his big eyes, as if wondering if Guo Youde had mentioned this before. Then he shook his head, saying that he didn't understand and didn't remember.

Old Wu was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick Shao Xi. This kid used to be smart and smart, but why is all his smart energy used in the wrong place now? He becomes stupid when it comes to serious things.

"That is to say, only you can practice one kind of mind method without starting from scratch when practicing another mind method. Instead, you can continue to practice meridians and qi sea on the basis of the previously practiced mind method. You can have two kinds of minds.

Practice alternately to improve the meridians and Qi sea at the same time. Do you understand this time?"

Shao Xi nodded, but his expression didn't change at all, as if he was digesting what Old Wu just said in his brain. It made Old Wu's teeth itch.

About half a minute later...

"Holy crap, it turns out that I can practice two mental methods at the same time. It's developed, it's developed."

Lao Wu "..."

Muren "..."

Uzhina "..."
