Chapter 583 The Eight Realms of Martial Arts
“What are the uses of kudzu, three ginseng, red raspberry, Xiangshu, and five leaves?”
“Back to the master, the taste of kudzu is slightly bitter at first, and then Astringent and sweet, it has the effect of relieving drowsiness; the three ginseng are hot in nature, can replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the meridians. However, this herbal medicine is strong in nature, and severe symptoms can cause deficiency; red raspberry fruit is small and sour in taste, which can strengthen the body essence and strengthen the soul. ; When cooked, it is white and firm, and its medicinal properties can cure injuries to the internal organs and stasis of blood and flesh; the five-leaf clover is mild, cold in nature and refreshing, can make people clear and clear, and can support the night"
The Small Courtyard , Jiang Sheng looked at Zhang Xiaojiu in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
“Very good.”
Jiang Sheng randomly selected five kinds of herbs from the hundreds of herbs in front of him to check Zhang Xiaojiu's homework. It was obvious that Zhang Xiaojiu did a good job.
Unconsciously, three years have passed.
In the past three years, Jiang Sheng has finally managed to heal his wounds, and under Jiang Sheng's guidance, Zhang Xiaojiu has become familiar with herbs and characters, and his body has gradually become stronger.
What Jiang Sheng taught Zhang Xiaojiu was the Taoist Five-Shaped Boxing. It is called a boxing, but it is a complete set of physical training martial arts including body training, fist and kick kung fu.
Taoist exercises, even the physical training methods used to enlighten young practitioners, are all in a neutral and peaceful way, without any particular emphasis on forcefulness.
Taoism talks about letting nature take its course and harmonizing yin and yang. The more upright and gentle it is, the less it hurts the roots and bones, and the more it can consolidate the foundation.
Zhang Xiaojiu’s progress in the past three years does not seem to be fast, but every step is extremely solid. No one else practices self-abuse or even self-injury in order to make rapid progress in martial arts, nor does he need too many supplementary ingredients. .
After all, Zhang Laosan does not have the ability to provide Zhang Xiaojiu with too much meat to supplement his consumption.
Follow Jiang Sheng's method, eat some fruits, take medicinal baths occasionally, and then make sure to eat three meals a day to be full, and occasionally eat a fish.
These are what Zhang Xiaojiu can currently satisfy. There are fish in Liuhe River, fruits in the mountains behind Liuhe Village, and some herbs can be used to make medicinal baths.
Under Jiang Sheng's steady guidance, Zhang Laosan watched Zhang Xiaojiu's changes day by day with joy.
Three years later, Zhang Xiaojiu has turned twelve years old. Although he does not look strong, his eyes are particularly bright, his body is strong, and his steps are as fast as flying.
The hundred kinds of herbs in front of Jiang Sheng now are not only from the mountains behind Liuhe Village, but also from other mountain villages in Shancheng Town. They were all collected by Zhang Xiaojiu alone. This is also what Jiang Sheng gave to Zhang Xiaojiu. Task.
Shancheng towns are originally villages and towns in the mountains. Whether Liuhe Village or other villages, they are all built on the mountains, so the most indispensable thing is mountain products.
The name Jiulian City comes from the nine connected mountains. It can be seen that the entire Jiulian City exists based on the mountains.
Zhang Xiaojiu has been running around in the mountains for the past three years and encountered many dangerous situations, including some monsters. However, Zhang Xiaojiu used the pharmacological methods taught by Jiang Sheng to avoid them.
Now Zhang Xiaojiu is full of blood and energy. Although he looks young, he still has the appearance of a young tiger.
Zhang Xiaojiu was originally very convinced of Jiang Sheng. After following Jiang Sheng for three years, Zhang Xiaojiu not only learned a lot of skills, but also became famous as the king of children in the entire Liuhe Village. Most of the boys in the village admired him. .
Because whether it is a competition of literacy or strength, he cannot compare with Zhang Xiaojiu compared to going up the mountain and down the river. Some children were accidentally injured on the mountain and riverside, and Zhang Xiaojiu could help them treat their injuries.
Such abilities naturally convinced the children in the village. Even other families in the village said that Zhang Xiaojiu was promising.
And Zhang Xiaojiu was quite proud of it. Now that his master praised him for being good, he held his head high and looked proud.
In Jiang Sheng's eyes, Zhang Xiaojiu now looks a bit like the rooster on the fence, exuding a sense of lust.
"You have almost learned the basic knowledge of herbal medicine and the basic understanding of pharmacology."
"Huh?!"
Zhang Xiaojiu was stunned.
First understanding of pharmacology? !
He studied for three years. He ate so many herbs and knew so many words. He didn’t know how many times he was punished. He didn’t know how many times he dreamed of picking and eating herbs. In the end, he thought he was learning. It’s done, and the result is the initial solution? !
Jiang Sheng glanced at Zhang Xiaojiu: "What, don't believe it?"
"I don't have many other things, but I know a lot."
"Pharmaceuticals, If you want to really get started, you need to learn a total of twelve courses such as the introduction to herbal medicine, the introduction to pharmacology, the explanation of pharmaceutical medicine, and the introduction to alchemy books. Later, there are also the identification of alchemy furnaces, the method of refining medicine, herbal medicine prescriptions, and the three ways of alchemy. , weather blood combination, etc."
“Do you think it’s amazing to learn a basic knowledge of herbal medicine and a basic understanding of pharmacology in three years?”
“Back then, there were twelve introductory courses in pharmacy. I learned six of them in one year, and learned them all in two years. In the third year, I have started to make my own medicine.”
“My progress is not the fastest yet.”
“Let’s study hard.”
Zhang Xiaojiu is a bit nervous. Looking at Jiang Sheng blankly, he believed that the master would not lie to him. The master really knew so much knowledge.
Because of a kind of medicinal material, when he could only identify its properties, the master had already told him what kind of terrain would grow this kind of medicinal material, why this kind of terrain would grow this kind of medicinal material, and whether it was better to pick this kind of medicinal material during the day or at night. If it was during the day What time should it be, what time should it be at night.
Including what kind of plasters and medicated powders can be made from this medicinal material, and which medicinal materials can be used as auxiliary medicines, which medicinal materials can be combined with it to heal people, and which medicinal materials can be combined with it to harm people, how many days it can cure people, and the harm. How many days does it take for a person to die?
Not to mention Jiang Sheng’s teachings to Zhang Xiaojiu on the journey of martial arts. The neutrality and gentleness of Wuxiangquan made Zhang Xiaojiu understand firsthand why Jiang Sheng always mentioned that Tao follows nature.
In the past three years, Zhang Xiaojiu has traveled to other villages and mountain towns frequently. He has met countless warriors who are eager for quick success and instant benefit, and Zhang Xiaojiu has also seen their consequences one by one.
There are even more people who either have lifelong illnesses or are disabled and injured through practicing death training.
He knew that Jiang Sheng really loved and cared for him, which made Zhang Xiaojiu respect Jiang Sheng even more. It seems that in the past three years, Zhang Xiaojiu and Zhang Laosan have been looking for medicinal materials to treat Jiang Sheng's injuries, including internal and external injuries and muscles and bones, but they have no effect.
In three years, Jiang Sheng's flesh and skin wounds had only healed, and he no longer needed to wear white cloth bandages.
Looking at Jiang Sheng’s face, one could tell that Jiang Sheng’s internal injuries were not healed yet.
Zhang Laosan and Zhang Xiaojiu could not imagine how much danger they encountered, which could make a person like Jiang Sheng unable to recover from his injuries for three years.
They no longer regarded Jiang Sheng as an ordinary young man when they first met him.
Three years of getting along day and night, Jiang Sheng's knowledge, vision, understanding of martial arts, etc. all prove that Jiang Sheng is either from a famous family or a nobleman of some party.
In their understanding, Jiang Sheng must have been a martial arts genius before. He might have been a famous figure in a county or even a continent, but he was just in trouble.
Now after hearing Jiang Sheng’s words to “learn from others”, Zhang Xiaojiu lowered his head, a little shy: “Yes, master.”
As he said that, Zhang Xiaojiu suddenly raised his head again: "Master, how did you get so seriously injured in the first place? Were you being chased by your enemies?"
Zhang Xiaojiu thought about the way he looked when he first met Jiang Sheng, At that time, Jiang Sheng's body was covered with wounds, his clothes were in rags, his hair was unkempt, and he could be called a roadside beggar.
After he picked it up, his whole body and even his head were wrapped in bandages. Who would have thought that now that he has taken off his shackles and only wears a simple white dress, he looks so noble.
Zhang Xiaojiu is convinced that Jiang Sheng must be from a noble family. He can tell by looking at Jiang Sheng's white and tender skin, and Jiang Sheng's hands. His hands are white and tender, with slender fingers. At first glance, it seems that he has never done any work. I haven’t practiced any martial arts, otherwise I wouldn’t even have calluses.
Recalling the knowledge that Jiang Sheng taught him, Zhang Xiaojiu always felt that "the young master is like a jade" was not enough to describe Jiang Sheng. Such a person should be from heaven and somehow fell to earth.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Zhang Xiaojiu. He wondered if Zhang Xiaojiu had become more familiar with words and started to like reading story books. There were stories about heroes of the Three Rivers and the Legend of the Emperor of the Five Flowers, who were hunted down and persecuted by their enemies and then made a comeback. .
Obviously Zhang Xiaojiu regards Jiang Sheng as one of those big shots.
"If you have this intention, why not practice the martial arts I teach you."
"With your current ability, it is not bad to be a monkey king in Liuhe Village, but if you don't After leaving Liuhe Village, what are you still?”
“Refining the body is just an introduction. Do you think it will take you a few years to do it? To copper skin and iron bones? ”
Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Zhang Xiaojiu had a bitter look on his face. He had only succeeded in exercising his body, but he had not yet achieved his inner strength. He had nothing but copper skin and iron bones.
As for the topic of removing blood and opening up the mind, opening up the meridians and holding elixirs, Zhang Xiaojiu didn’t even dare to think about it.
A warrior with bronze skin and iron bones is considered famous in the entire mountain town and even Jiulian City.
As for the martial arts masters who can move blood and open their mind, they are talents that Sanhe County needs.
Tongmai Baodan is no longer a martial artist, but a grandmaster. Especially a grand master who has reached the Danbao realm is really like a land god, with energy and blood like a dragon, manifesting energy and blood phenomena. , Rampant, one person can break up an army of 100,000 people, truly an enemy of 10,000 people.
As for the inner scenery, it can no longer be described as a master.
That realm is called Martial Saint.
In the inner world, you can evolve your own inner world in the body. The vitality and blood are endless like the vast ocean. One person can fight against a million troops, and one person can fight against a country.
As for the Shen Zang realm, one's own energy, blood and spirit are integrated, and the inner scene is manifested on the outside as a martial arts vision. What is a Shen Zang, and gods must also avoid it.
Building a strong body is just an introduction to martial arts.
Copper skin and iron bones, moving blood to open the mind, unblocking meridians and holding elixirs, and inner scenery are the true realms of martial arts, which are called the Four Phases and Eight Realms.
According to legend, there is another realm above the Divine Treasure Realm, which is the realm that the immortals in the past could only reach when they were still alive. It is the true realm of immortals and gods.
Zhang Xiaojiu has never seen such a realm in his story books.
Nowadays, the strongest people in the wilderness are the martial saints from the Neijing Shenzang Realm, but how can such big figures appear in Liuhe Village?
Liuhe Village doesn’t even have a copper-skinned and iron-bone warrior.
Jiang Sheng looked at the dejected Zhang Xiaojiu and said with a smile: "Go and strengthen your bones. Once your internal organs are strong, I will teach you a set of exercises, and I will ensure that you can become a martial saint."
Zhang Xiaojiu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Really?"
The next breath, Zhang Xiaojiu pursed his lips again: "Master, are you lying to me?"
< br>"If you have the skills to reach the level of a Martial Saint, why don't you practice it yourself?"
"If you practice and really reach the realm of a Martial Saint, how could you be beaten like this? ?”
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and laughed: "Just think I lied to you."
"Hurry up and practice martial arts."
