Inside the room with red painted beams and columns and gray and white stone tiles, the doors and windows are closed.
After the renovation of Songhe Martial Arts Hall, many rooms have not yet purchased complete sets of furniture. Now these empty rooms are just in use.
As soon as the doors and windows were closed, the Vatican incense burned quietly in the incense burner, and the aroma gradually filled the whole room, filling the hearts of the ten people with their breath.
Zuo Xiangyun originally had an extraordinary sense of smell. Since she followed Su Hanshan's instructions and practiced "Lantai Feihua Zhenqi", her skill has improved by leaps and bounds. In this room, she has the deepest experience of fragrance. , many incomprehensible moves in my mind were easily solved.
The Feihua Zhenqi book is actually a book focusing on tempering the nose orifices. Although Zuo Xiangyun will definitely take the regular path of tempering the ladder in the future.
But now, she is still far away from reaching the perfection of Qi Sea. It is absolutely no problem to use Feihua Zhenqi to accumulate some skills first.
When the incense in the incense burner was exhausted, the ten disciples, including Zuo Xiangyun, opened their eyes one after another, stretched their muscles, and stood up to go out.
Outside the door, Zen Master Guangming was sitting on a bamboo chair, with a low table beside him, and Fan Tixiang was placed on the low table.
This kind of spice comes from Buddhism, and Zen Master Guangming is the most accurate in handling it. Therefore, whenever ten of the martial arts disciples have serious problems with their moves, they will ask Zen Master Guangming to burn incense. .
After each of the ten disciples surrendered their hands to the Zen master, they prepared to disperse.
Zuo Xiangyun was in a good mood, with a fulfilling smile on her lips, and was going to go to her senior sister to get some preserved fruit to reward herself.
Zen Master Guangming called her.
"Miss Zuo, have you ever practiced secret techniques?"
Zuo Xiangyun shook his head.
Zen Master Guangming frowned slightly: "No? It seems that your ancestors have the blood of warlocks."
In this world, some people's attainments in spells and secret arts far exceed their martial arts skills, and they are called sorcerers.
Because in the application of occult arts, these people will deal with all kinds of strange spell-casting materials for many years, and because their attainments in occult arts are high enough, the quality of the materials they come into contact with is also high. It will be beyond the scope of what their internal strength foundation can resolve.
Their bloodline will undergo some alienation as a result, and it is more likely to be passed on to future generations.
Most of the time, this is not a good thing.
The secret art of spells is regarded as a heretic. A large part of the reason is that after the blood of this secret art is passed down, it is likely to bring congenital diseases to future generations.
People like Zuo Xiangyun are very lucky to have a sense of smell that is beyond ordinary people's. Although it is of little use in actual combat, they are already very lucky.
“But now it seems that as your skills improve, Miss Zuo, the potential thin bloodline is gradually growing stronger, so that the poor monk will feel something similar to those who practice mystical arts from you. Breath."
Zen Master Guangming said, "When you reach the realm of heavenly ladder and true form, this bloodline will obviously grow stronger, and unknown hidden dangers may surface."
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will have to find a secret inheritance similar to your bloodline to resolve the hidden danger. Are there any words left by the ancestors of Miss Zuo's family?"
Zuo Xiangyun thought for a while. , shook his head and said: "Before my father, I had never heard of anything special about my family, let alone any ancestral training. Even my father's martial arts was all pieced together by himself."
Zen Master Guangming: "Oh? Who is your father?"
Zuo Xiangyun said: "My parents have been missing for almost three years."
Chan Master Guangming recited the name of the Buddha: "Forgive me, donor."
"It's okay. It's been a long time, and after practicing new martial arts, I always seem to see my dad in my dreams. Unfortunately, when I wake up, I don’t remember what happened in the dream after that.”
There was no sadness on Zuo Xiangyun’s face. Instead, she said with a smile, “My parents never left any portraits. I want to remember them. When I drew it, I didn’t know how to put pen to paper in some places. After having those dreams, my previous memories became much clearer, which was good.”
Zen Master Guangming thought thoughtfully: "Maybe it has something to do with the growth of your bloodline."
Zuo Xiangyun clasped his fists and said: "Thank you Zen Master for your concern, but I am still far from the true form of the ladder to heaven. Soldiers will come to stop me. The water will come and the earth will cover it, let’s talk about it later.”
The disciples of Songhe Martial Arts School have a lot of life now, and they like to eat snacks during their hard training every day.
All kinds of preserved fruits are the most popular among them. They often carry a pocket and chew them when they want something sweet.
When Zuo Xiangyun ran to the kitchen, he waited in line for a long time before receiving a package.
She stuffed the orange-red preserved fruit into her mouth and chewed it twice. The sweet and sour taste filled her mouth, and she suppressed the little melancholy she had just mentioned about her parents.
My life is already very good now. I have no worries about food and clothing. I have the leisure time to practice every day, and I can also listen to my brothers and sisters chatting about recent interesting stories.
In the evening, I went out for a walk with my senior sisters. On the way back, I looked at the scenery and wiped away the fatigue from practicing during the day.
I don’t even know how to be disciplined. Even if I want to go smash the ice and play in the water, I will at most get scolded by my senior sisters. I will definitely not scold people like my father.
However, sometimes I still feel strangely empty.
"Forget it, let's continue practicing later. If you can feel the progress of your skills every day, you won't have time to think about anything else."
There was no expression on Zuo Xiangyun's face, and he took small bites. Guo Bao walked slowly towards the martial arts arena.
On the way, she heard a familiar voice and turned to look.
In the shade of the trees, Su Hanshan was also there tasting a bag of preserved fruits. Zen Master Guangming was beside him, saying something.
Seeing Zuo Xiangyun, both of them smiled at her.
Zuo Xiangyun shook the paper bag as a greeting and continued walking with his head buried in the ground.
“For those who practice martial arts, once their skills are a little advanced, they should not have any dreams that disturb their spirits at night. For people with the blood of warlocks, their dreams often have special meanings.”
Guang Ming The Zen master continued, "The little girl's situation is most likely because the bloodlines of both parties are growing, and the strength of her bloodline is too far different from that of the other party, so she cannot remember the omens in the dream. "
Su Hanshan bit half of the core, grinding it gently between his teeth, and said vaguely: "You mean, they might really just disappear?"
Zen Master Guangming? I don’t know the specific circumstances of that year, but I also understand that as a warrior, he suddenly disappeared for three years and never came back to see his daughter. This kind of disappearance is actually a euphemism for death among many people.
But according to Zen Master Guangming’s experience, the little girl’s father should really be alive.
“Yes, I just heard you say that her father was in the Heavenly Ladder realm, but there shouldn’t be such a big gap in bloodline strength in the Heavenly Ladder realm. It’s very possible that he is already beyond this realm now.”
Zen Master Guangming said, "The poor monk is thinking that when the little girl's skill reaches more than thirty turns in Qi Hai, he might be able to find a way to cast a spell and pursue her in turn. Find the location of her father. If he can be found, we in Cangshui County will have a lot of help."
Su Hanshan spit out the core and said, "If Uncle Zuo's skill improves greatly, he can't. Coming back will definitely involve a lot of trouble... It's too early to talk about this now. "
Zuo Xiangyun is thirty turns away from the Qi Sea, and there is still a long way to go to find it. .
Su Hanshan thought of his father in this life and let out a long breath.
Although he was reincarnated with the memories of his previous life, the years of getting along with him are not much shorter than the memories of his previous life.
Su Chaodong had also been his closest relative for a long time. Now that he heard that it was still possible to find him, it was impossible not to have troubles in his heart.
"You are right, this matter cannot be rushed."
Chan Master Guangming turned to say, "How is your understanding of the ultimate realm of the Ladder to Heaven?"
>
Su Hanshan took another piece of preserved fruit, threw it into his mouth, and said: "It still looks like that, grind it slowly."
There are not many additional secrets to understand the ultimate realm of the ladder, it all depends on one's own cultivation induction. .
However, Su Hanshan's skill progressed too fast, especially in the secret realm. He swallowed so many Gangsha crystals in one breath and tempered all seven cervical vertebrae.
This has caused some disharmony in his mind perception and skill strength. Thanks to the fact that he has practiced the "Golden Eye Technique" since he was a child, which has given him enough mental training.
Because of Gu Yue’s Dharma Eye, he freed up his brain power, so that he could fight without any flaws. But when a person is fighting, his skills are already operating intensely, and his thoughts are mixed in, so of course it is easier to get through.
During daily practice, it is impossible to operate so intensely all the time, but requires gentle and subtle exploration.
Su Hanshan realized the shortcomings in this aspect when he was practicing recently.
According to Situ Yuntao's suggestion, he was asked to postpone practicing internal skills and instead practice some secret techniques to strengthen the power of his mind.
However, all martial arts in the Chu Dynasty centered on internal strength and breathing.
Even if it is something like visualization, while exercising the power of the mind, it will also automatically have the effect of tempering the skill.
Any way of contemplation under the sun will have such an effect.
This was originally an advantage, but it became an inconvenience here in Su Hanshan, so much so that he had to learn another set of cutting skills from Situ Yuntao.
When training every day, if his skill level has increased too much, he has to cut off a small part of his skill base to prevent him from rushing into the true form realm before he has reached the ultimate realm of heavenly ladder.
Zen Master Guangming sighed: "This is the first time that a poor monk has seen it. Some people have to worry that they have broken through the true realm too quickly."
"A sharpening of a knife will make it easier to chop wood."
Su Hanshan's eyes were very clear, and his patience was strong enough to overcome the irritability caused by repeated grinding.
“The current hardships are also for a smooth road to the true realm.”
The foundation is very important. This importance is not only reflected in how strong the combat power is in the same realm, It is also reflected in the overall cultivation speed.
If you can practice to the extreme in a certain realm, there will be much fewer bottlenecks in the process of practicing in the next realm.
Su Hanshan himself has a deep understanding of this.
He broke through the ladder with the Qi Sea Ultimate Realm. From the first to the twenty-sixth stage of the ladder, there was almost no bottleneck.
Just practice step by step and transform.
For other warriors, each of the twenty-six sections of the ladder may be a small level, such as the transition from lumbar spine to thoracic spine, or it may be a relatively large level.
Another example is Lei Yuzhu. Although I don’t know what other adventures she had outside of her own skills, when she participated in the Shenwei Banquet, her skills alone had only just touched the lumbar range.
But after re-tempering her foundation, when Su Hanshan saw her yesterday, he noticed that she seemed to have stepped into the thoracic spine category.
So, combine Situ Yuntao’s suggestions and Su Hanshan’s own estimation.
Even if he spends a whole year in order to step into the ultimate realm of the ladder, it is still worth it.
Zen Master Guangming also understood this truth, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "I won't mention combat power. At least in terms of realm, the poor monk can still be higher than you now, but I'm afraid it won't be long. , you will overtake him in realm.”
“When Situ Yuntao contacted the poor monk, he asked the poor monk to stay here, which actually meant that he wanted the poor monk to protect you. Now think about it, It’s a bit ironic.”
Su Hanshan said: "I heard that Senior Situ helped the master find the complete copy of the Moonlight Emperor's Curse. Why should the master belittle himself?"
Zen Master Guangming smiled bitterly and said: "If there is a secret book, it means that we will definitely make progress. Then in this world, everyone who practices martial arts should at least be in the state of perfect Qi Hai."
"The complete version of "The Curse of the Moonlight Emperor" turns out to be a combination of martial arts and martial arts. Skills, but before the monk broke through to the ladder, his secret skills had faintly surpassed his internal skills. Over the years, layers of pressure have piled up, and it has become an unbreakable shackles."
"If you want to. To continue practicing the Moonlight Emperor Mantra, the poor monk must first rely on himself to resolve the gap between the internal skills and the secret skills he practiced in the past. "
Su Hanshan learned the visualization method from nearby Zen Master Guangming.
His energy, energy, and spirit are all-round strong. When he practices meditation, he uses heavy lifting to make up for some inconsistencies. Of course, he will not create gaps because of this.
However, after hearing Zen Master Guangming’s problem, Su Hanshan had some ideas.
He took Zen Master Guangming outside his room, went back and took out a book.
"Master, you might as well take a look at this technique. Although it is relatively rough in terms of subsequent realm speculations, the previous part is very deep. It is rooted in the perspective of the integration of internal force and secret techniques. Maybe it will It has inspired the master.”
Chan Master Guangming took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a Buddhist practice book, "Seven Wheels of Brahma."
This "Seven Wheels of Brahma" is no longer the herbal magic book that Zheng Dao, the master of the Kuanggu Hall, obtained in his early years.
It is a secret book that Su Hanshan found in Shi Miyuan's house that has been improved many times.
It combines the concept of the Great Mighty Virtue Vajra Fist Seal of Mount Wutai, and the content personally annotated by Zhao Lizong. It uses the mystical power of the spirit to turn it into secret sounds, vibrate itself, and bring about the transformation of skills.
“When I practiced the Moonlight Bodhisattva Contemplation, I referred to some of the contents here.”
Su Hanshan said, “In terms of perfection, potential, and upper limit, this method The techniques are far inferior to the Moonlight Emperor Curse, but its biggest advantage is that many of the concepts in it are easy to use for people like you and me.”
"In the process of quickly mastering this set of exercises, it is very likely that the master will find a breakthrough in integrating magic and martial arts."
If a person simply sees an entire building that is exquisite and towering, complicated and luxurious, It is naturally difficult to understand how such a large building could be built without a single nail.
But if all he saw was a stool, it would be easier to figure out the truth.
Chan Master Guangming looked through this secret book and vaguely felt that this might really be the right idea, and he couldn't help but show a little regret in his eyes.
“Oh, there is such a secret book.”
Zen Master Guangming paused and said, "If I had known this, I should have talked to you about the problems I encountered earlier, and maybe I could have read this book a few days earlier."
Su Hanshan's combat power Although it is high, the level is not high enough after all. Zen Master Guangming has never thought about what good advice Su Hanshan can give to the difficulties he encounters in his current level.
I accidentally mentioned today that he actually got such a surprise, which made him happy and annoyed at the same time.
“If you look back at the problem of being unable to move upward, you will probably get inspiration, because things at high places are originally condensed from low places.”
Su Hanshan He said with a smile, "It's just that most people fall into inertia. When they reach high places, they no longer know how to find treasures from low places."
Many times, the most precious resource is the elusive way of thinking. The answer to a specific problem is secondary.
Su Hanshan also experienced these things day by day after returning to the Southern Song Dynasty and settling down.
But unfortunately, secondary does not mean unimportant.
Even if he has a profound state of mind and thinking, if he wants to touch the extreme realm of the ladder, he still has to endure it slowly.
After sending Zen Master Guangming away, Su Hanshan returned to his room, drank some tea, diluted the sweetness of eating too much preserved fruit in his mouth, leaving only a little fragrance, washed his face again, and then Shi Shiran sat cross-legged on the bed, feeling refreshed and ready to practice.
First cut off a trace of your own foundation, and then use the visualization method.
While he was immersed in the visualization of Moonlight Bodhisattva, no matter how long it had passed, the Tai Chi mark on his left wrist suddenly became hot.
“Hey!”
Su Hanshan quickly opened his eyes, lowered his eyes, and looked at the sky again.
Second uncle and senior brother are not in the martial arts hall now, and other disciples are also scattered in the mountains practicing kung fu, so it is not convenient to say goodbye in person.
Su Hanshan raised his hand and nodded, and his fingers immediately carved out a line of golden writing on the stone bricks on the ground.
——I go out for a walk, comprehend the world of mortals, and promote my practice. Don’t think about it!
After writing the words, the mysterious light and shadow suddenly expanded, and Su Hanshan, who was sitting on the bed, immediately disappeared.
