I rely on talismans to seek longevity

Luo Ling laughed it off. Lao Li was very experienced. At noon, he found a teahouse on the way, rested for a while, ate something, fed the horse, and then continued on his way. He said that they could reach the next town in the evening. That town was called Fengyu Town, which was twice as big as Qiuyang Town and more lively.

In the afternoon, Luo Ling opened the package sent by Master Qin in the carriage. There were several books in it, including "Poetry Collection", "History of Daqian", "Learning", "Introduction to Martial Arts", and "Court". Luo Ling picked up "Introduction to Martial Arts" first and started reading it. When he opened the first page, he saw that it said "Martial artists cultivate their character, strengthen their bodies, use martial arts to enter the Tao, and use the Tao to transform martial arts", and there was a line of small notes below, which read "Introduction to Martial Arts will take you into the mysterious world of martial arts, explore the mysteries of martial arts, and comprehend the true meaning of martial arts. Here, you will learn about the basic concepts of martial arts, the methods of practicing martial arts, the techniques of conditioning the body and mind, and how to cultivate the spiritual qualities of martial arts. Through in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations, combined with the guidance of practical exercises, we will move forward step by step on the road of martial arts together and start a martial arts journey that belongs to you."

The more Luo Ling read, the more fascinated he became. He realized that there are many types of martial arts, and any of them can lead to enlightenment. A powerful person can change the world with a single move, and it is no problem to move mountains and cut rivers. Generally, martial arts can be divided into horizontal training and internal strength. Horizontal training focuses on the hardness and strength of the body. By practicing various hard skills and the ability to resist blows, the body can be as hard as iron and stone, and can withstand powerful attacks in battle. Internal strength focuses on the cultivation and use of internal strength. By cultivating breath and mobilizing internal strength, the attack can be made more destructive, and at the same time, it can protect the internal organs from harm.

Whether it is horizontal training or internal strength, there are moves, which can be one's own fists and feet, or with the help of external objects... Martial arts are divided into seven realms: martial arts apprentice, martial artist, martial arts master, great martial arts master, master, great master, and then the innate realm. Only those who enter the innate realm can enter the Tao, which is in line with the meaning of the Big Dipper. Each realm is divided into 10 levels, with stars as symbols. A martial artist has one star, which is equivalent to the strength of an ox, which can reach a thousand pounds. A martial arts master has one star, which is equivalent to the strength of an elephant, which can reach ten thousand pounds... Luo Ling verified his own cultivation and found that he was a martial artist at the 7th level, which belongs to the late stage of martial arts.

The "Introduction to Martial Arts" also introduces the method of cultivating internal strength. The "Eighteen Styles of Martial Arts Heavenly Mirror" that Luo Ling practiced before was a method of cultivating internal strength. However, Luo Ling's tendons were weak and his cultivation was not high. Otherwise, through Uncle Fu's training, he would have reached the level of a great martial artist long ago. The books Uncle Fu gave Luo Ling before were all books on self-cultivation, as well as some classical classics, human meridians, and medicine.

Combining the previous books, Luo Ling soon discovered a new world. Finally, he understood why Uncle Fu did not teach him martial arts and related training. It mainly required Luo Ling to understand and have opportunities. Uncle Fu mainly trained Luo Ling's meridians to make his meridians stronger, making it easier to practice. It was just that Uncle Fu had limited time and Luo Ling's talent was too poor, so he felt it was not worth training. It was also possible that Uncle Fu was not a martial artist at all.

Unconsciously, Luo Ling saw the back of the book, which recorded several exercises. One of them was "Inner Vision", which means to perceive the changes and conditions inside the body through self-observation. In martial arts practice, inner vision is a very important method that can help practitioners understand their physical condition, perceive the flow of energy, the weakness of meridians and acupoints, and discover hidden dangers and problems inside the body. Another chapter is "Qi Watching", which is a skill of observing and perceiving the breath and energy of others. It is an indispensable part of martial arts practice. By watching the qi, practitioners can understand the physical condition, strength and energy level of others, so as to better deal with and defend against the opponent's attack.

Luo Ling was stunned when he saw this. This thing was too important to him. He didn't know where Mr. Qin got this "Introduction to Martial Arts". Luo Ling's heart was moved. It was too precious. He needed to repay Mr. Qin when he had the chance.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Fengyu Town, and more and more people came. Lao Li: "Brother Luo, we are here. Where are we going to rest tonight?"

Luo Ling thought for a moment and said, "Old Li, I'm new here, so I'd better ask you to recommend me."

Old Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Look at me, I forgot about this." Then he drove the carriage to an inn that was much better than Yuelai Inn. Then he said: "Then let's stay at this Haokelai Inn tonight."

Luo Ling had no objection. They handed the carriage to the waiter and walked into the lobby of the inn. The lobby was decorated more magnificently than the Yuelai Inn and was larger, with room for ten tables. The innkeeper was using an abacus, probably calculating the bills. Suddenly, as if he could sense something, he looked up and smiled and said, "You two, are you going to stay overnight or stay the night? There is a discount for staying in the hotel room today."

Luo Ling looked at Lao Li, who raised his mouth without saying anything, indicating that Luo Ling should make the decision. Luo Ling thought for a moment and said, "Two ordinary guest rooms." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Two ordinary rooms, thank you for your patronage, one or two taels of silver?"

As expected, the consumption outside is more expensive than in Qiuyang Town. But they are also very good at doing business. They don't ask them to go to the guest room, but to call them ordinary customers. Luo Ling felt that he had learned something new. Then he took out a tael of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, who then asked the waiter to take them to the guest room.
