This palm strike was so violent that it struck the stone tablet but came back suddenly. The stone tablet did not move at all and did not make any sound, as if it was just lightly touched by the edge of the palm. It was not until Zhu Hong stepped out of the Zhang Xu area and stood up, that
The stone tablet made a "click" sound, and the upper half of the tablet suddenly shattered into dozens of pieces and scattered on the ground.
Although it was not the first time he saw it, Xiao Xinwang, who was sitting on the steps, still had his eyes wide open, and the look of surprise and envy on his face was even worse. In his view, an extremely hard bluestone tablet was actually gently touched.
His palm was smashed into pieces. This big brother was simply three points more powerful than the powerful god in the legend.
Zhu Hong looked at the remaining half of the stone tablet, but there was no trace of pride on his face. Instead, he showed a trace of disappointment. He sighed and murmured: "Oh, I have practiced this style of 'Packing the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger' for so long.
I still can’t reach the point where everything turns from stone to powder, it seems like I’m really stupid…”
He turned to Xin Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, just stay in the courtyard and play while I go inside to practice my Qi."
Xiao Xinwang said: "Brother Zhu, go and I will go to the kitchen to get some food. It will be delicious after you finish practicing."
Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Thank you then!"
After entering the house, Zhu Hong sat down cross-legged on the bed on the ground and began to meditate.
Today is the thirteenth day since Zhu Hong started practicing martial arts after recovering from his injury. Over the past ten days, Zhu Hong has clearly been able to feel that his internal strength is constantly rising, and the true energy in his body is getting stronger and stronger.
The progress made is still great.
Although Hua Bushi did not explicitly tell him the reason, Zhu Hong also guessed that it was probably related to the miraculous recovery of the serious injury to his meridians. Hua Bushi arranged for him to concentrate on practicing here.
With this move, Zhu Hong knew that his master also hoped that he would take advantage of the current opportunity to practice hard in order to reach a higher level of martial arts.
Therefore, Zhu Hong never dared to waste time. In addition to eating and sleeping, he spent every available moment on practicing martial arts. In the first ten days or so, whether he was using the "Shaking Mountain Palm Technique"
"The internal strength of the "Shaking Mountain Jue" has been advancing by leaps and bounds. It was not until yesterday that Zhu Hong felt that this rapid progress was hindered.
One of the "Mountain Shaking Palm" techniques, "Packing the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger", he was never able to practice to 100% of the fire level. He could not reach the level of "power penetrates the stone and turns into powder" as stated in the palm manual. After a while,
Practicing hard day and night, but still to no avail.
The broken stone tablets in the yard were all broken by Zhu Hong while practicing his palm. With the force of his palm, the stone tablets were broken into more than ten pieces, which was still far from "turning stone into powder", and every attempt failed.
Any improvement over before.
"Mountain Shaking Technique" is an internal skill and mental method that is exclusive to "Shaking Mountain Palm". If the palm power is stagnant, it means that the cultivation of internal skill has also stopped, and there is no progress at all.
Could it be that his opportunities have ended here, or has he encountered a bottleneck for a while and failed to break through?
Zhu Hong was born with supernatural powers and had excellent qualifications, but he was an honest man. There was never anything fancy in his martial arts training methods. Every improvement he made was the result of hard training. Regarding the current stagnation,
He had only one way to deal with it, which was to practice harder and more concentratedly.
Zhu Hong fell into concentration and soon entered a state of selflessness. After the true energy circulated in his body for two weeks, two hours had passed quietly, and it was almost noon.
When the internal energy reaches a certain level, even though he is concentrating on it and sitting still when practicing, his senses and perceptions are extremely sensitive under the clear vision. Zhu Hongquan can clearly hear any sound in the hut and courtyard.
Chu.
During the period of meditation, he heard Xiao Xinwang leave the hospital and go to the front yard, and soon came back. He probably took food from the kitchen, put it on the wooden table under the eaves, and then sat down again.
Playing with stones on the stone steps.
Zhu Hong stretched his muscles and was about to get up and leave the house to practice his palm skills in the courtyard. Suddenly, he heard the courtyard door being pushed open. Xiao Xinwang stood up from the stone steps and said, "Mr. Hua
Good morning, you haven’t been here for some time!”
Ever since Zhu Hong's Qi and blood were no longer depleted and he no longer needed to take tonics, Hua Bushi had never been here. Indeed, he had not entered this hospital for seven or eight days. When he heard that the master was coming, Zhu Hong stood up quickly.
He opened the door and went out.
As expected, Hua Bushi was already in the courtyard, standing in front of the half-cut stone tablets, reaching out to touch the broken parts. Zhu Hong stepped forward and saluted: "Disciple Zhu Hong pays homage to Master!"
Hua Bushi waved his hand and said: "No need to be too polite. Zhu Hong, did you break all these stone tablets? It seems that your palm strength has improved a lot. You have already achieved seven or eight of the techniques of 'beating the mountain and shaking the tiger'"
Divide the heat."
Zhu Hongdao: "If this palm technique is mastered, it should be able to 'turn stone into powder'. My disciple has practiced it for a day and a night, but has not made any progress. I really feel ashamed."
Hua Bushi said: "You have been very diligent in practicing martial arts. There are many martial artists of good quality in the martial arts world, but they have not been able to reach your current level of skill after practicing for ten years. Why should you be ashamed?"
He looked at Zhu Hong's face and suddenly said: "However, since the meridians of your body are already connected, it is no longer an obstacle to your internal strength cultivation. This pose can be practiced to 100% perfection. 'Through stone into powder' is not impossible to do."
arrive."
Zhu Hong lowered his head and said: "I think Zhu Hong didn't work hard enough. I will work harder in the past few days and I must practice this style!"
Hua Bushi said: "The reason why you can't practice this style is not because you don't work hard enough. You must know that if you can break the stone tablet, you have the ability to smash it into powder. The reason why you can't do it for a while is because of that moment."
It’s because the recruitment was wrong.”
Zhu Hong said in astonishment: "That's wrong? But my disciple has already studied the palm chart carefully, and the moves in his hand are exactly the same as those in the Zhenshan palm chart. I am determined that there should be no mistakes."
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "On the palm chart, only the regular shapes of the moves are drawn. Whether the practitioner really does it correctly is not necessarily true, so there is a saying that 'the form is like the spirit but not the spirit'. And even if the spirit is in the form
They are all similar, but the 'intention' is even more important. If the 'intention of the palm' is not available, no matter how precise the moves are, they will still be just superficial."
He smiled slightly and said: "So, if you want to make the moves correct and have the same form, spirit, and intention, you can't achieve it by studying palm music. The most important thing is the word 'enlightenment'."
The eldest young master made a long speech, but Zhu Hongru was lost in the clouds and couldn't understand it at all. He was stunned for a while and then said: "What does the word 'enlightenment' mean? Master, please give me some advice."
Hua Bushi thought for a while and said: "'Enlightenment', of course, means understanding, which is very difficult to say. Let me ask you first, what do you think of the move of 'Packing the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger' when you practice the Mountain Shaking Palm Technique?"
What is the purpose of 'turning stone into powder'?"
Zhu Hongdao: "This palm move can only be considered to be 100% powerful if it can 'turn stone into powder'. I strive to achieve it because I want to practice martial arts palm skills well."
Hua Bushi said: "Then you have mastered martial arts palm skills, but what do you want to do?"
The young master's question was so unexpected that Zhu Hong couldn't answer it for a moment. He actually didn't have any lofty ambitions when he first started practicing martial arts, just to support his family.
Zhu Hong was born into a poor tenant farmer's family. When his hometown in Anshun County, Guizhou Province was hit by a severe drought, the crops in the fields were not harvested and life was difficult to survive. His father had no choice but to sell his younger sister. Zhu Hong went to Wuyang City in western Hunan to participate in the event. The "Five Tiger Heroes Conference" is just to earn some money to protect my little sister from being sold.
Later, he joined the "Evil Dog Gate" and became a disciple of Hua Bushi. Zhu Hong worked hard to practice martial arts just to earn his fifty taels of silver every month. Although these taels of silver were not much, they were enough to support his hometown in the countryside. His parents and younger brothers and sisters lived a life of food and clothing.
As his kung fu progressed, Zhu Hong also became interested in practicing martial arts, and once practiced hard day and night. He was born with a chivalrous heart, and he only thought that if he practiced martial arts, he would be able to protect others in battle. Junior brothers and sisters in the sect are naturally very useful.
But Zhu Hong had never really thought about the purpose of practicing palm skills.
After a long while, he replied: "Zhu Hong thought that if he practiced martial arts well, he might be able to help more people and prevent them from being harmed. For example, when he was on the 'Qing Chi', if Zhu Hong's If my martial arts were strong enough, I would not be attacked by Lu Qiuhong, and I might be able to save Miss Yi's life. Also, that night my master was attacked by an assassin. If my martial arts were strong enough, I would be able to defend myself against the enemy and not let my master go through the same thing. Danger."
Hua Bushi said: "So, the purpose of your martial arts training is just to protect your relatives and friends? But that day on Wanyi Island, in order to save those unrelated servants and maids, you made an enemy of Huashan Sect Elder Yu Jun But why?"
Zhu Hong said: "I didn't think too much. I just felt that those servants and maids were all innocent people, and most of them were from farmers. They were just like fellow villagers in my hometown, so I couldn't let them be lost for no reason. life."
Hua Bushi said: "That's it. In fact, you haven't really thought about what you will do after you have mastered martial arts. You must know that in this world, ability and responsibility are equal. If a person reluctantly does it, he will do it." To do something beyond one's ability, even if it is a good deed, is unwise and cannot be said to be correct. And if a person wants to have ability, he must have the determination to take responsibility, otherwise it will be in vain."
He paused and then said: "Zhu Hong, when you hit the stone tablet with your palm, you couldn't turn the stone into powder because you didn't understand the way of martial arts enough. Even though you used the moves, you couldn't do it because of the deep feeling in your heart. If you are confused and lack decisiveness, then the "beating the mountain and shaking the tiger" style will be wrong, and you will never be able to achieve the state of 100% fire."
Zhu Hong muttered "Ability, Responsibility" silently, lowered his head in thought, his face was full of distress, and after a long time he said: "The apprentice is stupid and really can't understand anything."
