Various sects in the martial arts have different methods of cultivating internal energy. Some focus on the foot shaoyin and hand shaoyang of the twelve main meridians, some focus on the kidney meridian, heart meridian, etc., and some focus on the yin meridian. , Chongmai and other eight extraordinary meridians.
Because the meridians that run through are different, the true qi that is cultivated is also different. It may be more yin and cold, or it may be strong, or it may be too yang, or it may be evil.
Although the views of good and evil over thousands of years are mostly due to differences in behavior, differences in martial arts practice also account for part of it.
Most of the martial arts of the orthodox sects are slow in practice but have a solid foundation, with few inner demons deviating from the path. However, the martial arts of the demon sect and side sects are faster than those of the orthodox sects, and some require the help of poisons, tonics, medicines, and more. There are even martial arts such as the Star Absorbing Demon Technique, which can absorb the true energy of others.
It is this difference from inside to outside, coupled with the contradictions accumulated when dividing interests, that the battle between good and evil will become more and more fierce in the martial arts world, until today it is a life-and-death struggle that is difficult to reconcile.
However, even though the meridians that various sects and sects focus on in the practice of internal energy and mind methods are different, there is a consensus that the two meridians of Ren and Du are not involved in the practice.
Because the two meridians of Ren and Du are the mysterious bridge between heaven and earth, the acupoints in which the true energy circulates are obscure and difficult to penetrate, and the true energy cannot be stored. One has to cultivate one's internal strength to an unfathomable level in order to open up dozens of points in the two meridians. After each acupuncture point, the large and small Zhoutian become one, the quality of the true energy will undergo a leap in level improvement, and the internal strength will become a peerless master.
For hundreds of years, there are only a few ancestors of the Hengshan Sect who have been able to open up the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Bridge of Rendu's Second Line. The most profound part of our inner strength and mental method is just a few sentences about how to break through the barrier. There is no more content.
Zheng Gui thought about this problem many times after he gradually became better in practicing Hengshan Internal Kung Fu. He didn't see any content about Ren and Du's second line in the evil sword manual, so he guessed that the martial arts really involved opening up the mysterious bridge between heaven and earth. I'm afraid there aren't many exercises that contain the content of later cultivation. Most of them are Huashan Zixia Kung Fu, Wudang Tai Chi Kung Fu, Shaolin Yi Jin Jing, Demon Sect's Star Absorbing Magic, Sunflower Book, etc.
The Hengshan sect was created by nuns. The essence of the exercises is the Buddhist "circulation of cause and effect" and "self-contained harmony." Therefore, almost half of the meridians are involved in the Hengshan Heart Method and the Mianli Hidden Needle Technique. It's more positive, but it's very flexible and stretchy. Although it's not very powerful when it's shot, it's very resilient.
After Zheng Gui lived in Guolao Cave, most of his thoughts were focused on practicing internal strength.
As his cultivation deepened, his understanding of Hengshan's internal strength also gradually deepened. He wanted to find out about the evil-repelling sword technique because he wanted to find out the Hengshan sect's mental method, which contained very little content about Ren and Du's second line. Unfortunately, the internal strength in the evil-repelling sword manual In terms of proficiency, it is only as different as Mianli Hidden Needle Technique, and it did not help Zheng Gui.
After Zheng Gui gave up the idea of studying the sword manual to ward off evil spirits, he settled down to practice his own martial arts in the Guolaodong thatched hut, pondered the sword skills, and tested Yi Guang's sword skills and martial arts every month. Later, Ning Zhengduan and Ning Zhengli also joined him. Test and compare.
Although Yiguang has good intellectual qualifications, he has no experience in practicing Hengshan School martial arts. Zheng Gui can always easily find problems during the monthly exams and point them out one by one. The more he practices, the more Yiguang feels that his teacher is unfathomable. , I no longer thought that my master was simply superior to me in internal martial arts.
As Zheng Gui settled in Guolao Cave, the temples in Tongyuan Valley were also being built. Wuse'an and Baiyun'an were combined with various lower monasteries. Some of the lay disciples and other disciples learned the previously lost swordsmanship. The atmosphere of the Hengshan sect became similar to that of the Hengshan sect.
Things are very different from the past.
Master Dingxian, Master Dingjing, Master Dingyi and Zheng Gui all knew that even if the Hengshan sect did not fight, as long as they developed with peace of mind and recruited many disciples, in at most ten years, the Hengshan sect would have as many as the Songshan sect.
With his inherent strength, he has become a second-ranked presence in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
Although Master Dingxian has no ambitions for hegemony, after searching for information in the world, she determined that Zuo Lengchan was indeed secretly recruiting people in the world, including some who were famous in the underworld. His ambition was obvious, and he naturally intended to annex other factions.
, merged with Wuyue.
It was precisely because he understood the crisis he was facing that Master Dingxian made several adjustments to the sect's planning and development after convening Masters Dingjing, Dingyi, and Zheng Gui for many discussions, and before Han Lu.
Although the Hengshan Sect's secular industry is not large and the returns are not much, taking into account the offerings from believers in various provinces and state capitals, plus the farmland at the foot of the mountain, it is more than enough to support the Hengshan Sect's hundreds or thousands of people, so the next step for the Hengshan Sect is to
We need to open the door wide and start recruiting more disciples.
The temple where Zheng Gui is stationed has not yet been built, and his three disciples have not yet mastered their own martial arts, so he is not in a hurry to recruit disciples, but is just slowly looking for children with excellent talents and selecting the best ones.
However, the martial arts of the disciples of Dingxian, Dingjing, and Dingyi are not weak anymore. Finding more qualified women from the believers' families to accept as disciples and strengthening the next generation of Hengshan sect has become the immediate task.
So before the midwinter came and the mountain roads were good, in addition to Master Dingxian who was permanently stationed at Wuse'an, Master Dingjing and Master Dingyi took several close disciples down to Mount Heng and went to dojos in various provinces to preach and inspect.
, in addition to inspecting various lower houses and wooing fellow practitioners from all over the world, he also snagged some good seedlings for the Hengshan Sect.
Dingjing, less than ten days after Dingyi came down the mountain, heavy snow closed the mountain, and the temples in Tongyuan Valley had already stopped working. The whole valley was covered with white snow. Standing in front of Guolao Cave and looking down at the bright hall, Zheng Guihe
Yi Guang, Ning Zhengduan, and the other four all wore quilted monk robes sewn by the female disciples of Wu Se'an.
Zheng Gui and Yiguang were wearing monk robes and hats, holding rosary beads of different sizes in their hands, standing tall like a mountain in the wind and snow.
Ning Zhengduan's second child has just practiced the Hengshan Mental Technique, and his inner energy is still there. After standing in the snow for a long time, his hands and face have become stiff from the cold, and his back is aching. However, they see that their master and senior brother still have rosy faces and look quite good.
Looking at the snow scene with interest, he didn't dare to say anything more. He just forced himself to stand, but his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. This heavy snow has been falling for five days. Hunyuan County will definitely have a bumper harvest next year."
Zheng Gui looked at the vast whiteness at the bottom of the mountain and couldn't tell the location of the fields owned by the Hengshan sect. He shook the white snow accumulated on his sleeves with a shake of his hand. He turned around and saw the two young disciples with droopy noses from the cold. He laughed.
Said: "Go back to the house and rest."
After saying that, Zheng Guidang turned around first, and Yi Guang reached out and grabbed Ning Zhengduan and Ning Zhengli. Ning Zhengduan and Ning Zhengli felt a warm current pouring into their bodies from their elder brother's hands, and they turned around in their bodies.
It's so hot that I don't feel cold anymore.
They were secretly shocked by the profound inner strength of the senior brother, and they thanked him: "Thank you, senior brother."
"Brother, your internal strength is so powerful, when can we catch up with you?"
Yi Guang smiled and said: "You should practice hard and listen to Master's words. In a few years you won't be afraid of the cold anymore."
Ning Zhengli chuckled and asked: "I heard people say that our master is the reincarnation of Arhat. He once single-handedly destroyed some gang in western Zhejiang. Senior brother, how powerful do you think our master is?"
Yi Guang kept walking, but narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Of course it is very, very powerful..."
