Chapter 917: The highest good is like water, the most rigid and soft
In the middle of the sand.
After the competition ended, Zeng Hongshen and Pu Gong did not leave immediately.
Zeng Hongshen frowned slightly and asked for Mr. Pu's opinion: "Mr. Pu, I have a question. I wonder if Mr. Pu can answer it conveniently?"
Mr. Pu was stunned for a moment, and then said generously: "Mr. Zeng, it's okay to just ask."
In the competition just now, Zeng Hongshen had already won his respect with his strength.
"That's it..."
Zeng Hong carefully considered his words and asked about the doubts he had just had in the competition: "From the true meaning of Pu Gong's martial arts, the exercises you practice should be mainly domineering. But I felt before that there were too many
There is a trace of softness that should not be there, what is the meaning of this?"
This is what Zeng Hongshen found most puzzling.
From the true meaning of Pu Gong's martial arts, he can feel a kind of domineering power that can be defeated by thousands of people, and a ruthless force that will grit his teeth and charge forward even if his body is shattered.
In turn, the true meaning of martial arts can affect a person's character.
With the true meaning of martial arts practiced by Mr. Pu, he should be the kind of person who never looks back even if he hits a wall.
Not to mention, in the competition just now, it stands to reason that unless Zeng Hongshen beat Mr. Pu to the point where he lost the ability to resist, he would not have said anything like voluntarily admitting defeat.
But the fact is that after discovering that he was defeated, Mr. Park took the initiative to end the competition.
The reason why this happened should be the gentleness Zeng Hongshen discovered in Pu Gong's true meaning of martial arts.
They are obviously completely opposite to the true meaning of martial arts, but they are extremely harmonious.
Zeng Hongshen was also a martial arts fanatic, so he couldn't help but be curious.
He added: "Of course, if this matter involves some unexplainable reasons, Mr. Park does not have to answer."
Mr. Pu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's what you're asking. There's nothing I can't say about this."
He recalled: "When I broke through Xiantian and traveled far away for the first time, I met someone. It's embarrassing to say that it was my first battle after Xiantian, but I lost."
"After I lost, that person didn't kill me, but gave me some pointers."
Zeng Hongshen frowned and asked, "Is this gentleness related to that person?"
"That's right."
Pu Gong smiled and said: "That man and Mr. Zeng have almost the same judgment on Lao Chan's Kung Fu. The martial arts Kung Fu practiced by Lao Chan is indeed full of domineering."
"It's okay to be overbearing, but it's easy to break if you're too strong."
"The man told me that if I continue to practice according to the original technique, if I encounter a powerful enemy that I cannot defeat, I will eventually be knocked to pieces."
"In fact, I was aware of this at the time."
He said with some regret: "At that time, I was traveling far away. My original purpose was just to find someone to learn martial arts from, but my first battle with that person almost turned into a battle of life and death."
"But the only way to break through is innate. The true meaning of martial arts has already been formed. How can it be so easy to change it?"
Zeng Hong nodded deeply, that was indeed the case.
The reason why he didn't covet King Yu's "Emperor Jingshi Lu" when he saw it for the first time was that his true intention of martial arts had already been formed and it was useless to come.
Zeng Hongshen asked curiously: "How was this gentleness cultivated?"
He was really curious. It was difficult to make small changes in the true meaning of other people's martial arts, but this gentle meaning was completely opposite to Park Gong's true meaning of martial arts.
Mr. Pu smiled and said: "It's easy to say, it's just four words."
Zeng Hongshen asked subconsciously: "Those four words?"
"Cultivation of one's moral character."
Park Gong explained: "When the man left, he told me that it was difficult to change the exercises and the effect was not great, so we could only start from other aspects."
Zeng Hongshen's eyes flashed and he blurted out: "Those books found from Dali."
Judging from the appearance of Pu Gong, he is obviously a rough martial arts practitioner, but his conversation and speech can always say something that does not fit his image. The reason is, as Pu Gong said, he admires Dali culture.
In addition to practicing martial arts, I also read the books I found from Dali.
Mr. Pu nodded and said: "Mr. Zeng's guess is correct, it is those books found from Dali."
He said with envy: "Dali is worthy of being a heavenly country. Talents have emerged in large numbers throughout the ages, and schools of thought have flourished. The solution to the old and decayed Kung Fu can be found from the saying, 'The best is like water.'"
Following Pu Gong's explanation, Zeng Hongshen gradually understood the principle.
If two completely opposite true meanings of martial arts exist in one person, they will inevitably be mutually exclusive and start a fierce confrontation. The final result will be that either the true meaning of martial arts disappears, or the person's cultivation is completely destroyed.
Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of "too strong and easy to break" in Pu Gong's method, you must first start with options that also have attributes such as domineering and strong.
But being domineering and strong alone is not enough. These two attributes will only deepen the problems of Pu Gongfa.
Therefore, this choice must be domineering and strong, but also have the opposite softness. This is the attribute that can solve the problem of Pu Gong Gong method.
Possessing two opposite attributes, but there will be no conflict, Park Gong thought that the man was lying to him at first.
Until he saw water.
Water is extremely strong, and when floods occur, it is easy to destroy embankments and flood the ground; but water is also an extremely soft thing, and a few pebbles or a wooden plank can change its course.
Such a hard and soft thing is exactly what Pu Gong needs to find.
So he looked at water and understood their explanations of water from the books of various sages in Dali.
As time went by, a trace of his original increasingly domineering true meaning of martial arts transformed into the completely opposite and gentle meaning.
It is this wisp of tenderness that can often help Park Gong rein in his horse and prevent him from doing unwise things like hitting the wall and not looking back.
"In this case, I need to thank the person again for his generosity and disregard of past grudges."
Mr. Park laughed at himself and said: "If it weren't for this ray of tenderness, I'm afraid that when Prince Yu came to the city, he would have to step over my bones to enter the Khan City, which would cause many casualties."
There is no before or after in learning, and those who have mastered it are the teachers.
Zeng Hongshen raised his hands seriously and said, "Thank you very much Mr. Pu for clearing up the confusion."
Outside the sand, Di Xin, who was farthest away, also had a look of surprise on his face.
Zeng Hongshen did not deliberately lower his voice when chatting with Mr. Pu, but with Di Xin's level and hearing ability, even though they were separated by such a long distance, the conversation between the two was transmitted to Di Xin's ears without missing a beat.
"Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone. Even in a low-demon world like the Ancient Moon World, there are still geniuses."
