Chapter 50: The method of breakthrough, the character of a warrior
Could it really be the inheritance of Prajna Temple?
Xie Yuan has been studying martial arts in Tieyimen for several months, and he is no longer a novice who doesn’t understand anything.
Although the people in the small martial arts hall in Panlong Town may not have much knowledge, they still know some anecdotes about the world.
After listening a lot, Xie Yuan always heard the words Prajna Temple. In addition to the "origin" of Tieyimen and Prajna Temple, the bigger reason is that Prajna Temple is indeed The Buddhist holy land and top sects of the Great Li Dynasty, and major events in the practice world, often had their disciples involved.
As one of the top sects in the Dali Dynasty, its inherited skills appeared in a martial arts gym in a small town below the county seat. Is this reasonable?
Xie Yuan shook his head secretly.
If it were really the secret book of Prajna Temple, as long as Monk Liu was not a fool, he should not be just a second practitioner.
Most likely, he had practiced in a Buddhist temple and gained some inheritance, so he came out to open a martial arts studio. In order to attract business, he deliberately pulled the tiger skin of Prajna Temple as a banner.
Anyway, this place is thousands of miles away from Prajna Temple, so we are not afraid of others finding out. Even if there were disciples from Prajna Temple passing by, the monks would be compassionate and would at most just warn them not to lie.
Monk Liu rummaged through it for a while, pulled out a blue booklet, and handed it to Xie Yuan:
“Here are the methods and experiences of practicing breakthroughs. Let me tell you about it first.
< br>"External training in martial arts can be summed up in six words simply, 'coagulate blood and energy, strengthen body'.
“First coagulate the blood energy, and then use the blood energy to strengthen the body. The four levels of external training are all general principles. It is just that the parts of the exercise are different, from the outside to the inside, from the skin to the bone, and gradually deepen.
"When I first started, I didn't have much blood. I used it to temper my body. It was exhausted after a while and needed to be replenished.
"The simplest way is to rest. Blood energy is like physical strength. As long as you eat enough, drink enough and sleep well, you can recover; and if you have food supplements, medicinal supplements, and even nourishing methods, you will naturally recover faster.
" The cultivation level is high, the blood is rich, and the body is tempered... it still consumes a lot of money, very It’s almost exhausted; because your physical strength has increased, the consumption has also increased. Hey, martial arts training has always been climbing..."
Monk Liu let out a long sigh, seeming to be quite emotional.
He turned Looking back, he asked:
“Is there any problem with these? I'm afraid Hoda didn't explain it clearly to you. ”
"Thank you, Master, I understand."
Xie Yuan nodded.
Hoda explained these basics to him quite clearly, but Monk Liu’s explanation was more incisive and concise.
Especially when comparing blood energy and physical strength, Xie Yuan couldn't help but feel that it was no longer so mysterious, and his basic understanding of cultivation had been strengthened.
Monk Liu nodded:
"Okay, there are no pitfalls in these things, so I can teach you how to break through. Otherwise, if you practice and break through with hidden dangers, what do you think will happen?"
"Will you go crazy?"< br>
Xie Yuan asked tentatively.
Monk Liu sneered:
“Haha, it’s a bit early to talk about being obsessed with your current state.”
Xie Yuan's face heated up and he felt a little embarrassed.
He subconsciously thought of this word, but it was not even a warrior's realm, and even if he went crazy and entered the devil's wheel, it would not be his turn.
Monk Liu chuckled:
“But it’s about the same. If you don’t want to understand, learn clearly, and have a rough breakthrough, for those who repair iron cloth shirts, it will be easier to leave more cover. If it is serious, it will damage the foundation. Martial arts practice is like water grinding. If you seek speed for a while, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Remember."
The more he spoke, the more serious his expression and tone became.
Xie Yuan felt the solemnity and concern of Monk Liu, and his face was straightened. He clasped his fists and said loudly:
"Disciple understands!"
"Okay, then listen carefully.
< br>“The methods of breaking through external training are different for each school. But at its root, it's all the same: using the power of a drop of water to penetrate a stone.
“When you reach the third level of practice and are close to perfection, you will find that your blood energy is gradually difficult to improve, and your skin strengthening seems to have reached a bottleneck. This is a limitation of your body.
"The body is a pool, and blood energy is water. Your pool is too small to hold more water. What should you do?
"Continue to use blood energy to exercise the skin and expand the pool, even if it reaches the limit! A drop of water will eventually penetrate a stone, but whether it is a day or a lifetime depends on individual talent and hard work, both are indispensable.
“The third layer of perfect blood energy should be enough to wrap the skin of the whole body and be tempered by one breath. Then, as I said before, the blood energy is consumed and waits for recovery, and it starts over and over again until it breaks through.
“This is the way to break through the method and the principle behind it. It's very simple, but it also stumps countless people. Do you have any questions? "
Xie Yuan heard it clearly, and there was no doubt that it was difficult. To sum up, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. In martial arts practice, every ounce of sweat can make achievements.
He thought for a while and asked:
"Can medicated baths and tonics help?"
"Yes. Although medicines are only side effects, at least they are helpful. In the training stage, to put it bluntly, they are all external medicines, which do not have serious side effects on people and will not affect the foundation. On the contrary, they help to strengthen the body.
“But in the breakthrough stage, it is not enough to rely on medicine alone. When you are about to break through, your body will undergo unique changes. If you don't feel it with your heart, you won't be able to seize that opportunity. On the road of spiritual practice, you have to return to yourself in the end. ”
"Disciple understands, I will understand it well when I go back."
Xie Yuan bowed his hand seriously and gratefully.
What Monk Liu taught today are all fundamental principles that cannot be avoided in martial arts practice. I really want to understand it, it will be of great benefit to my future practice.
After leaving, Xie Yuan thought on the road:
"Now my blood energy is not perfect yet, covering... there is still less than a heel. Well, since the master has said that medicinal bath is If it helps, I will practice digestion for a few days, and then take an advanced medicinal bath to directly push the progress to perfection, and then use the opportunity to make a breakthrough!”
After making a plan, Xie Yuan went directly to his home in Xiaoshi Village.
Advanced medicinal bath is free to try once, but you will have to pay later.
Twenty taels is not a small amount, it’s time to go back and chop wood.
Two days later.
After processing all the wood he had accumulated and loading it onto the cart, Xie Yuan came to Boss Wan’s shop in Panlong Town.
"Twenty-four taels!"
Boss Wan waved his hand, accepted the wood, and handed over the silver.
Xie Yuan was a little surprised:
“Boss Wan, the quality of this car should be around 20 liang, why are there so many?”
“Not too much, not too much, You are now a celebrity in Panlong Town.”
Boss Wan put his hands together and chuckled.
The competition spread throughout Panlong Town. Although Boss Wan didn’t particularly care about martial arts, his ears pricked up when he heard the name Xie Yuan. He knew that his timber supplier could Not your ordinary woodcutter boy.
Xie Yuan was a little embarrassed:
“Hey, Boss Wan, we have always dealt fairly, just a small discount, it’s too much and I deserve it.”
"What are you talking about, brother Xie, I don't just care about your face, I also care about the money you can bring."
Boss Wan came closer and rubbed his thumb and index finger with a smile.
“I know many well-off families in this town whose children are studying martial arts. You said I would make dummy stakes and weapon racks from the wood you chopped, and sell them to them, plus you How much more money will I make if I use your name? Haha, Brother Xie, you don’t object to me using your name, right? It’s your reputation fee.”
“Boss Wan, you really deserve to make money with your business acumen.”
Xie Yuan gave a thumbs up and shook his head:
“It’s just reputation, sometimes it’s more valuable than life...”
When Boss Wan heard this, he scratched his head. He was about to say forget it when he heard Xie Yuan say:
"Boss Wan has to help me sell it at a good price."
Boss Wan was suddenly stunned.
Is this the character of a martial artist?
Xie Yuan carried the large silver ingot and walked happily to the iron clothing store.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cao Shan coming. He was startled when he saw him:
"Junior Brother Xie, are you really here today?"
Xie Yuan couldn't hear clearly so:< br>
"Senior Brother Cao, what's wrong?"
"A guest came to see you, and I said you weren't here. He insisted that you would come today, so he was waiting in the tea room."
< br>
Um? Where do you have any customers? And you also know my whereabouts?
Xie Yuan asked:
"What's the name of the guest?"
"I don't know the name. I just said that his surname is Zhang, and he is a county magistrate."
