Chapter 38 Become Stronger(1/2)
After the young man and the middle-aged literati left, Nan Ke sat back on the bed. The bed should have been covered with several layers of cotton wool, and incense was specially placed in the four corners.
I didn't feel anything when I was lying on it before, and I focused on inquiring about the surrounding environment. Now I sat on it, and the soft touch suddenly made Nan Ke's movements stiffen, and it took a while to soften.
The touch is very familiar, like sitting on the sofa cushion in the family of the previous generation. Compared to the hardwood boards in Qinghe Village before, it is not like a product of a world.
To be honest, although the world's technological level and infrastructure construction are much behind, the wealthy class really needs to enjoy it. In terms of the tricks, it may not be enough for future generations.
Of course, Nan Ke doesn't care about enjoying it now. There is still time to enjoy it. Now, he has more important things to do.
After confirming that everyone had left the courtyard, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and pick up the book left by the middle-aged scholar before.
It would be fake if there was no turmoil or no excitement in my heart.
The martial arts secrets and cultivation techniques that I had been looking forward to for a long time are now suddenly placed in front of me. I am naturally happy, but in the joy, there is actually a little confusion.
It's really that simple?
Now you can pick up secrets without even jumping in the cliff?
Nan Ke looked at the book in his hand. After a long time, his emotions completely calmed down. He calmed down his mind and murmured:
"From the financial resources that the person showed, this book should be fine.
As for why I hand it over to myself so easily, maybe I really am optimistic about myself?"
Nan Ke thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He shook his head, and said the same thing. Since he couldn't figure it out, there was no need to spend so much effort to think about it.
Now I am just a refugee. Oh no, I should be a wanted criminal. If someone really wants to harm me, just tell the government directly, and there is no need to spend so much effort.
Think about whatever you sit in. I am in danger now. I really have to work hard to make a plan for fifteen years. That is a dream. Isn’t it better to have a drunken life now.
At least, I should be more capable first, and when I encounter other things, I can be more calm. After all, no one can guarantee who I will be if I faint on the street next time.
The book left by a middle-aged literati has no title or other symbols on the cover. It is all red and yellow. Just look at the smell of ink on the book, it should be a short time since it appears in the world and is not an ancient secret book.
In fact, whether it is in terms of shape or color, this book is actually contrary to the peerless martial arts that Nan Ke imagined. This book is a pirated novel published in later generations of pirated printing companies.
It's still the standard 800-page book, with the font size compressed like an ant's unofficial version.
However, Nan Ke is not picky. In this situation, he has no right to pick and choose. Even if it is the most basic secret to newcomers, don’t you practice it?
"Hey, it's really a 'yellow' book."
Nan Ke Nian opened the cover casually, and after a glance, he immediately laughed. The familiar introduction made him feel that he was not looking at some practice techniques, but reading novels from later generations.
"This is really at utmost care."
Nan Ke visited the museum in his previous life and luckily saw a few ancient books. I don’t know about the others, but the ancient books that Nan Ke had seen had no catalogues and there was no detailed explanation of the historical background at the beginning.
After all, paper was very expensive at that time, and those authors didn’t have time to consider your reading experience, so they would definitely not waste any popular science introductions to you.
However, this book does not directly tell you how to practice, nor directly list the moves. Instead, it is an introduction, briefly introducing the grading and situation of the current cultivation system.
Nan Ke took the book in front of him and took a closer look. It was actually obvious that this introduction was pasted on it later. This should be done by the young man or the middle-aged scholar.
Although this method of temporarily pasting the beginning makes this "Huang" book seem a bit unreasonable, for Nan Ke, he doesn't care about these details, and this introduction is what he urgently needs at this stage.
After all, there is a saying that there is a threshold in both the past and the present. It may be well known to everyone inside the threshold, but people outside the threshold will never be able to contact them for a lifetime. Nan Ke is undoubtedly a layman now.
There is neither a serious teacher nor a relative of immortals. Even if you learn some skills by chance, no one will lead you into the door. After all, you will walk in the dark and night. If you walk this path, you will easily go astray.
According to the introduction, the current cultivation systems in the world are diverse, but according to their nature, they are roughly divided into two categories;
A type of person who draws the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his own use is generally called a qi training man;
One type is mainly used to polish one's own qi and blood, and is generally called a warrior;
The former can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to use various magical means, and can even trigger strange phenomena in heaven and earth; the latter can polish itself to the extreme, and can also open mountains and cut stones and kill demons and eliminate demons.
See here,
Nan Ke nodded thoughtfully.
The so-called Qi training man is actually a cultivator, either using talismans or magic weapons. But in short, it is a medium to activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice or cast spells, which is an immortal with a regular route;
The warrior looks like the name of the high martial world, but in this world, it can actually be understood as an immortal who practices the path of becoming a sacred in the body;
After all, the title of "Immortal" is actually more spoken from ordinary people. There are few serious practitioners who have the skin to call themselves "Immortals" without blushing.
"That's right. If there is a single-plank bridge left on this road, how boring will be? "Nan Ke murmured to himself,
If everyone in the world practices immortality, then when you go out and play, the moves and routines are similar. Isn’t there a feeling that you are always facing the same hero?
Now, at least there are long-range and melee combat, which seems to be two types, but if you subdivide it, it will be even more interesting to fight.
Nan Ke turned sideways and leaned against the bed and continued to read. He was not so urgent now, but instead found some of the feeling of lying on the bed in his previous life to read novels.
After briefly talking about factions on the note, I talked about the division of strength more concisely. According to the above, there is nothing special about the division of strength, although different cultivation systems have their own names;
But in short, it is divided according to the level realm. This level realm is from nine to one, and the smaller the number, the more powerful it is;
As for whether there is any more powerful existence after the first grade, maybe it is not, maybe it is not, maybe it is not known, or maybe it is because I think it is useless to say it, so I didn’t write it out.
After reading it, Nan Ke put down the book and closed his eyes. In fact, he was familiar with this system and level setting. He had never seen it in the novel, which was more complicated and chaotic.
Therefore, it is fine to accept and absorb this information without any obstacles.
Opening his eyes again, Nan Ke hesitated for a while, and did not look through the contents behind, but lifted the book up again, rubbing his fingers in the fitting position on the first page twice.
Since this was added later, what should have been here?
If you just give yourself a popular science introduction and putting a note in the book is not easier than sticking it on?
He simply didn't need to return the book. Nan Ke quickly touched the gap between the two pages of paper, and gently pressed it. The sticking piece was lifted in a corner. He slowly pulled it back, and the "temporary note" was pulled down directly.
Under the ‘note’, there is still not a legitimate exercise, nor is it even the saying that Nan Ke was thinking about, "If you want to practice this exercise, you must first castrate yourself." Instead, it is like a reduced version of the ‘Madman’s Diary’.
In just a few lines of words, it directly criticized the current cultivation system of Chu State, pointing out that the so-called faction was deliberately splitting the cultivation world, completely misleading people's children and leading people to the wrong path;
At the same time, he directly wrote down his own point of view. This "view" occupies a lot of space, but when translated, it is actually just a simple sentence.
‘The so-called cultivation is just trying to use various channels and means to make yourself stronger. Since you are becoming stronger, you don’t need to choose any route, but just grab it with both hands’.
The rest are just some self-proclaimed words, probably saying that they are the best in the world, they are determined to revive the cultivation world of Chu, and they want to make Chu stand tall again in the clouds.
Between the lines, Nan Ke saw the conceit and pride of the author of the "Huang" book, but more often, he sighed that the author of the book was really bold.
After all, no matter in any era, if you don’t have some skills, you really don’t dare to publish the “Yellow” book so openly.
At the same time, the introduction to the beginning of this book actually mentions several sects and families. In just a few words, they offended these families very much.
If this author had no courage, he would not dare to say this. If he had no ability, he would probably not be able to live now after saying it.
However, this declaration similar to Long Aotian also made Nan Ke's expectations for this book drop to a higher level. This statement is not like the kind of respectable Taishan figure who can say it.
After all, when practicing Taoism, you must not pay attention to a state of mind?
If he is really a great master, shouldn’t he be someone who can break through the world?
"This...is a bragging self-proclaimer?"
Nan Ke frowned and looked at it. He thought there would be something amazing, but now he saw it and suddenly lost interest. He found a message area for a social networking website in his previous life and could see a large basket.
Turning back a page, I finally got the key content. These words all seem mysterious, but I carefully read it into my mind and then translate it into human language to understand it;
actually,
It's just the truth that everyone understands.
at least,
For those of Nanke's era, anyone who has read some novels or TV series will have a certain understanding of these principles.
"It's that simple?"
Nan Ke put the book in front of him, sat cross-legged on the bed half-believingly, and followed the instructions on the book and put in a standard position.
First, press your tongue against your palate;
Close your eyes and breathe again;
then,
Start trying to mobilize your own qi and blood according to the methods recorded in the book.
...............(You really want to learn? I'm afraid you don't want to go to heaven?)
Nan Ke was in a trance,
It seemed as if I really felt a trace of air flow gathering in my chest and abdomen;
Very mild,
But it is also clear;
at the same time,
With your breathing rate,
This energy begins to grow gradually
And constantly stimulate the acupoints all over your body during the process of growing;
This air was first as thick as a thumb;
To be continued...
