Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 391: Divine Spear on Martial Arts

"Please give me some advice, Master!"

Qin Huai thought of his previous experiences and had some understanding, but he still didn't know how to do it, so he respectfully asked for advice.

"There's no need to say more between you and me, master and disciple."

Li Shuwen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and touched the point half an inch above the middle of Qin Huai's hairline, and said, "The Du Meridian is the sea of ​​yang meridians, and the Ren Meridian is the sea of ​​yin meridians. Although all your eight extraordinary meridians have been opened, when you punched just now, you only mobilized the qi and blood stored in the Chong Meridian. So the punch that should have been 120% powerful looked disappointing because the meridians and tendons exerted their own strength and failed to combine."

"If you can control your body's movements with your mind, your whole body will be flawless. That punch just now would not be easily broken by others."

Seeing Qin Huai suddenly realize, Li Shuwen nodded slightly and continued, "After the Yisi year, Brother Wu sent several letters home, in which he mentioned your progress in practicing Qi, saying that you have already achieved great success and are not inferior to the Grandmaster. Today, I watched you and A Ge sparring, and wanted to test your understanding of Qi and the Bridge of Heaven and Earth."

"this."

Hearing Li Shuwen asking about his enlightenment of Qi training, Qin Huai thought for a moment and replied calmly, "At the beginning of Qi training, you need to have adequate nutrition every day, and use food to nourish and strengthen Qi and blood. Only when Qi and blood are strong can you dredge blocked meridians and widen narrow Qi channels. This step is often carried out at the same time as external training of tendons, bones and skin, and it is difficult to give up."

"Qi and blood dredge the meridians, starting from the heart and lungs, with countless blood vessels as channels, and the ultimate goal is to open up the internal organs, acupoints, and the twelve meridians. When the qi reaches the extremities and the strength can penetrate from any part of the body, it can be considered that the qi training has been completed."

"Among the four major trainings of tendons, bones, skin, and qi, qi training requires the most talent. However, if one's qi training attainment is average, it will be even more difficult to explore the transformation of qi. The two influence each other, and Jiao is inseparable from Meng, and Meng is inseparable from Jiao. This is the reason why many martial artists are stuck at the Grandmaster level."

Qin Huai paused, and when Li Shuwen nodded, he continued, "As for the bridge between heaven and earth, I have explored it almost entirely on my own. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I hope Master can correct them."

"That's what you say."

Li Shuwen waved his hand, stepped down and took the tea handed to him by Huo Dian Ge.

"We warriors are born between heaven and earth, with the stars above and the earth below. The sky has nine layers and the body has nine orifices. The stars are arranged in front of the major acupoints on the body, and the way of nature coincides with the palm lines and joints. This is the world outside the body and the world in the flesh."

"The eyes are the orifices of the liver, producing the Qi of the wood element. The nose is the orifice of the lungs, nourishing the Qi of the metal element. The nine orifices are born to correspond to the five internal organs and six bowels. Our Qi training is to penetrate these nine natural orifices, then train the five Qi in the chest, and finally penetrate to the top of the head to enter the mysterious realm."

"So, in my opinion, practicing Qi is not only about practicing Qi, but also about practicing the mind. However, because the mind is unpredictable, many martial arts masters use breathing methods to pry open several major acupoints and find new ways to pass through life and death dangers, build a bridge between the inner and outer worlds, and step into the realm of the master."

"Once the connection between the inner scene and the outer world is firmly established, you will have officially stepped onto the bridge of heaven and earth. In the past few years, I have traveled far and wide, comprehended the heaven and earth, and communicated with heaven and man. I have adjusted my inner scene according to the outer world, and gradually polished the inner and outer worlds to fit together. This should be considered as crossing the threshold of the unity of heaven and man."

Based on his own experience, Qin Huai roughly described the feelings that [Practicing Fighting Techniques] brought to him.

"Gone?"

Li Shuwen took a sip of tea with a calm expression.

"Gone."

Qin Huai jumped off the ring and threw the Liuhe spear back to its original position.

"What you just realized is actually not much different from our sect's righteous path, which is rare."

Li Shuwen cleared his throat and thought for a while before saying, "People only know about Grandmasters and Grandmasters, but few understand that there are always mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Ah Huai, you must remember that the road of martial arts has no end."

"Let's talk about strength first. Look at what this is."

Li Shuwen exerted his strength on his buttocks and suddenly heard a loud bang. Then he jumped onto the five-meter-high beam easily like a dragon swinging its tail.

"The tiger crosses its hips, the dragon swings its tail, and the power comes from the spine. This is the Kung Fu of transforming strength."

Qin Huai had already crossed the threshold of Hua Jin, and when he saw his master demonstrating it, he did not hesitate.

"Yes, look at what this is."

Li Shuwen nodded, stretched out his index finger, exerted his strength and slowly pressed forward. A ball of white gas as thick as beef tallow slowly grew larger at the fingertips.

"Is this Qi?"

Qin Huai looked at this familiar air mass and said hesitantly.

"Yes, but here we call it Dan Jin."

Li Shuwen flicked his hand casually, and a milky white gas flew out of the door, scattering the snow all over the sky.

"Hua Jin, Dan Jin, Gang Jin, are actually just different names for martial artists' attainments in Hua Jin. The essence is the same."

"If you want to take one step forward, it's not difficult, but it's not easy either."

Qin Huai saw his master pointing at him, and before he could express his confusion, he saw Li Shuwen said again: "If you want to cultivate Dan Jin, the method of our Baji Sect is to hold the Dan and sit on the hips, so that the whole body's essence, spirit, blood, marrow and plasma can be concentrated a little.

It sounds mysterious, but it actually requires you to concentrate the Qi and blood in your body, concentrate it in your Dantian, and then explode with a bang, exploding a little bit of Yuan Qi. This is the most difficult at the beginning, but once the initial and most important bit of Yuan Qi is exploded, the rest will be much smoother.

When you can transform all the energy in your body into Yuan Qi at will, you will be worthy of being called a Grand Master."

"Master, what exactly is this [Qi]?"

Ignoring the constant reminder sounds ringing in Shinobi's ears, Qin Huai asked a key question.

"I'm not sure, but I think it should be the same as what the ancient books recorded the Qigong practitioners of the pre-Qin period practiced. The one that exists between heaven and earth is called [Spiritual Qi], and the one hidden in the human body is called [Original Qi], which is a kind of spiritual power that has existed since ancient times."

Li Shuwen shook his head, took out a small booklet from his bosom and handed it to Qin Huai: "This is the method of my Baji Sect to practice Dan Jin and the subsequent Dan Jin into Gang. It was passed down by the founder, Lai Dao Ren. You can think about it more. If you don't understand, come and ask me."

"Master, my disciple still has something unclear."

Qin Huai took the booklet respectfully.

"You want to ask about the realm after Grandmaster, right?"

Li Shuwen glanced at Qin Huai, and seeing him nod, he slowly said, "Now your inner scene is complete, and you have achieved unity between heaven and man. Although you have not yet cultivated Dan Jin and stepped into the outer scene, you are not far away. Now I will tell you what is behind it. It is not taboo to leave a thought behind."

"When Dan Jin is fully developed and Yuan Qi permeates the body, one becomes a Grand Master."

"When Dan Jin becomes Gang, heaven and man become one, the inner scene is manifested outside, influencing heaven and earth, and achieving the outer scene, this is called [Martial Saint]."

"The five qi converge to the origin, the three flowers gather at the top of the head, the fist reaches its peak, shattering the void, and seeing the indestructible gods, this is the [Human Immortal]."

Li Shuwen looked at Qin Huai and said quietly, "As for what we will be called from now on, Master doesn't know either."

"But Ah Huai, you have already got the chance to achieve unity between heaven and man. Next, you just need to follow the steps, practice to turn your energy into elixir, turn your elixir energy into Gang, and nourish your spiritual energy. In a few years, you will naturally become a [Martial Saint]. There is no need to rush."

Li Shuwen reached out and patted Qin Huai, and his last words were very thought-provoking.

"Remember, Dan Jin and Yuan Qi are all [nature]. Only one's own physical foundation is [life]. Whether it is those extraordinary people in the secular world or warriors like us, it is inevitable that we will be exhausted by all kinds of things and be troubled by all kinds of emotions. Only by cultivating both nature and life can we glimpse the principles of heaven and survive~"

"Uncle-master, why did you come back suddenly?" Two martial artists who were sweeping snow in front of the boxing gym looked at the dusty old man with a stick who was rushing over from a distance, and hurriedly put down their brooms, walked up to him and asked.

"Of course there is something wrong. Has Junior Brother returned to Yanshan?"

The old man holding the stick walked towards the door without stopping.

"No, the eldest brother came back yesterday, and Master was chatting with the second brother."

"It would be good if my colleagues were still in Tianjin. It would save us a lot of effort."

The old man holding the stick nodded, and his frown relaxed.

Then, he picked up the tiger-head stick, walked into the door and crossed the courtyard, and saw Li Shuwen shaking his gun, and Qin Huai holding a booklet and looking dazed.

"My dear fellow minister, something happened with Gong Bao."

"Ok?"

When Li Shuwen saw his senior brother [charlatan] Wang Zhongquan, who was supposed to stay by Yuan Xiangcheng's side, suddenly come back, he knew that something urgent must have happened.

"Brother, have some tea first and speak slowly."

Wang Zhongquan took the hot tea from Huo Dian Ge, drank it down quickly, and then said, "That old man in the capital sent someone to find Baiyangdian and ordered Yuan Gongbao to rush to the Forbidden City before 3 p.m. tomorrow to attend the imperial banquet."

"It's not the Imperial Banquet, it's the Hongmen Banquet."

Li Shuwen only thought about it for a moment and knew who would be attending the imperial banquet tomorrow night.

Prince Chun Zaifeng, who was at odds with Yuan Gongbao, was definitely indispensable.

"Junior brother, what should we do?"

Wang Zhongquan was undecided as he looked at his junior fellow apprentice who was a superb martial artist but had received a lot of help from Yuan Gongbao when he became successful in his early years.

Ever since Yuan Gongbao was nearly killed by Zaifeng's conspiracy a few years ago, this Beiyang's top figure has learned his lesson and always asks Bajimen's masters to protect him wherever he goes. And the "magic stick" Wang Zhongquan is the master master that Bajimen sent to stay by Li Shuwen's side when he was away for something.

"Brother, you are not of high enough status, so I'll go there myself."

Li Shuwen thought about the old dragon lurking in the deep palace, and decided to go there in person to protect him. He was the instructor of the Beiyang New Army, which was much more convenient than Wang Zhongquan, who was a commoner.

"Master is going to the capital?"

Qin Huai came back to his senses from the reminder of Yan Fu on his iris. After greeting Wang Zhongquan, his eyes flickered and he asked, "How about I go for you? I guarantee that Yuan Xiangcheng will escape unscathed."

"No, you just came back from Bian Meng, you should rest for two days. Your mistress misses you too, spend more time with her these two days, and help me discipline Lin'er."

Li Shuwen shook his head and suddenly talked about his family who were not in Tianjin.

"Understood. I'll go back to Yanshan now."

Qin Huai had always been smart and alert, so he could easily hear that Li Shuwen's arrangement was to split the troops into two groups. He would go to the capital in person to save Yuan Xiangcheng's life, while he would return to Yanshan to help guard his only vital point.

"Brother, you don't have to go to the capital. I am enough."

After saying that, Li Shuwen took a big spear with a gun head wrapped around it, broke through the wind and snow, and went north alone like a long dragon.

Qin Huai also asked Wang Zhongquan to help him guard the Golden Tower temporarily, and then went south alone.
-
"Master Walking, your exploration of the worldview of this Yanfu incident has reached more than 60%!"

Listening to Zero's reminder, Qin Huai, who was still on his way, felt his eyelids burning. The snowy inn, the mountain man's order, the Qing court's worship of Tang, Lin Heier's golden pupils and jade face, and finally the thin booklet, flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern!

"Master Walker, you have unlocked the exploration notes of [Human·Xin Chou Qi] that were once sealed by the Ten Lords and are now open to you!"

Qin Huai clicked on it and looked past the unimportant cultural features, and found relevant information about [Practicing Fighting Techniques].

【Qi body training.
Before Qin Huai could look down, the small characters carved on the bamboo slips suddenly became blurred and scattered, as if they had been erased by something, and four new characters emerged.

【Human Immortal Martial Arts】

[Human Immortal]: Five Qis converge to the origin, three flowers gather at the top of the head, the fist reaches its peak, shatters the void, sees the indestructible gods, comparable to the six officials.

【？ ？】：The exploration level is insufficient and cannot be viewed at the moment.

Suddenly, words full of ancient charm appeared out of thin air in front of Qin Huai's eyes.

[You have opened the special Yama event: Qi body origin! ]

Since when, the Qi content in the seven fruits of Xin Chou has fluctuated in an unpredictable pattern.

It is precisely because of this unpredictable law that the history of this fruit is so wonderful, and endless numbers of outstanding people have written many moving chapters.

At the end of a dynasty, in an age of great strife, was it Qi that influenced people, or was it people who influenced Qi?

The event requirements are as follows: explore the nature of [Qi], find clues about the [Human·Xinchouqi] fruit core, and submit your understanding of [Human Immortal Martial Arts]. The final reward depends on the progress of the three.

Note 1: The exploration work on [Ren·Xin Chou Qi] is an open call for submissions issued by the Human Lord. Every time a new discovery is submitted, the submitter will receive a reward, and the level of reward will be accumulated.

Note 2: The Yanfu Walker who participates in this free hunt can obtain additional information drops by killing opponents.

Note 3: Your current rank is too high, please explore on your own. Killing Yanfu Xingzou will not result in any additional information being dropped.

"The source of Qi? The source of life? The dual cultivation of life and nature?"

Qin Huai ignored those low-ranking people who had just entered Yanfu not long ago and whose rank was only tenth city, but remembered what Li Shuwen had said to him today.

"Since Hou Tu said that it was the water dragon energy that affected the qi content in the fruit, then the clue of this fruit core..."

"Could it be related to the Forbidden City?"
