238 On Martial Arts(1/2)
A small building on the edge of the cliff, the surrounding environment is peaceful and quiet, and the furnishings in the house are leisurely and natural.
An old man and a young man were sitting on the balcony on the second floor, smelling the aroma of tea on the table and hearing the waterfall flowing in the distance.
In such a state, the human mind becomes silent involuntarily.
When Meng Xiuyuan heard Lu Miaozi's words about "defeating Zhu Yuyan in thirty years", he only smiled slightly but did not comment.
"Old sir, it seems that you are thinking quite far-term.
But what exactly is this plan? Can you tell me in detail?
Why do you think I can defeat Zhu Yuyan and Ning Daoqi within thirty years?"
Since Meng Xiuyuan was reincarnated, he has not come into contact with many people in the world. The old Mr. Lu Miaozi in front of him is the only way for him to understand martial arts in this world.
After getting along with each other several times, Meng Xiuyuan felt that he understood the old man relatively well. He knew that although he had some selfish intentions, he had no malicious intentions, so he was willing to listen to what he had to say.
Regardless of whether he ultimately cooperates with him or not, Meng Xiuyuan is unwilling to let go of such an opportunity to broaden his horizons.
Lu Miaozi was over seventy years old and had experienced many vicissitudes of life. How could he not understand Meng Xiuyuan's thoughts?
However, he was arrogant by nature, conceited and smart, but he didn't care and immediately said:
"Little brother, do you know that after entering the innate realm, what is the most important point for warriors to distinguish between their strengths and weaknesses?"
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile:
"Please ask the old gentleman to teach me frankly...
I still don’t even understand what the so-called ‘innate realm’ is.
How do you know what happens after entering the innate world?"
Lu Miaozi nodded, seemingly satisfied with Meng Xiuyuan's humble and teachable attitude:
“Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowing.
Well, my little brother has such great skills at such a young age, but he is still not arrogant and complacent. He is indeed a teachable talent..."
At this point, Lu Miaozi did not sell out any more, and immediately explained to Meng Xiuyuan warmly:
“The reason why martial arts cultivation is divided into innate and acquired is because there is a huge difference between these two realms.
In the day after tomorrow, the warriors compete to see whose true energy is stronger and whose martial arts skills are more advanced.
But after entering the Xiantian realm, especially after entering the Xiantian realm for a long enough time, there is only one key factor that determines the absolute strength and weakness of warriors...
That is one’s martial arts realm.”
Meng Xiuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said that he had finally reached the key point, and immediately asked Lu Miaozi:
"Old sir, what specifically is this martial arts realm you are talking about?
Does it mean the warrior’s understanding and integration of martial arts?”
Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of the "martial arts conception" achieved by master Zhang Zhenren after he created Tai Chi and integrated martial arts throughout his life.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Miaozi shook his head and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"It's one of them, but it's not complete. The realm of martial arts I'm talking about is not only related to martial arts itself.
If I have to say it, it should refer more to a person's spiritual realm, the realm of mind, and the depth of communication with this world..."
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the words. He felt that Lu Miaozi's words were quite mysterious. Although he could understand them based on the words, he had no personal experience.
"According to what the old gentleman said, to reach the highest level of martial arts in this world is to rely on spirit and thoughts to hurt people?"
Meng Xiuyuan asked Lu Miaozi in confusion.
Lu Miaozi shook his head with a smile and said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"My little brother misunderstood, it's not that mysterious.
When a peerless master fights with others, he can indeed use his spirit and momentum to oppress the opponent, so that he can gain an advantage in the duel, and even defeat the enemy without fighting.
But to destroy enemies of similar strength, you still have to rely on fists, feet, swords, and Qi moves..."
"Then why do we only mention the so-called 'martial arts realm' and not the warrior's true energy, body, and moves?"
Meng Xiuyuan still asked with concern.
These are his rare advantages. If they don't work, it's not good news.
Lu Miaozi smiled when he heard this, as if he had already guessed that Meng Xiuyuan would ask such a question, and immediately explained to him:
"This brings us to the fundamental difference between innate warriors and acquired warriors.
In the acquired stage, martial arts practitioners refine their Qi and refine the five internal organs of the human body into Zhen Qi. Although the speed of this process varies somewhat depending on each person's qualifications, it is not too fast in the end.
If you are stuck at this step, no matter how many years you work hard to refine your Qi, it will eventually be difficult to compete with the real masters.
After reaching the innate realm, the human body gradually begins to communicate with heaven and earth, and the refined Qi, both in quality and quantity, is naturally far superior to the acquired realm.
At the same time, the human body eventually has a certain limit. When the skill increases to a certain level, it will almost reach its peak.
Therefore, as long as a person enters the innate realm, it can take as short as ten or eight years, or as long as twenty or thirty years, and the journey of pure Qi refining can be considered to be over. Although there are differences between them, they are not too big.
many.
At this time, the gap in martial arts realm became apparent.
Because the spiritual realm must be improved to make the moves more powerful and the true energy to be used more efficiently. Even after reaching extremely high places, touching the realm of the unity of heaven and man, using the power of heaven and earth to assist oneself.
As for those so-called magical skills and secret techniques, in fact, every peerless master has them, they are part of their martial arts realm..."
Hearing Lu Miaozi say so many "good things" in one breath, Meng Xiuyuan was suddenly enlightened, but he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the level of martial arts in this world was indeed much higher than what he had been exposed to in his previous two lives.
The so-called "innate true energy" is somewhat similar to Meng Xiuyuan's true energy that was fused with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this time.
But he has yet to come into contact with the remaining concepts such as "the unity of heaven and man" and "utilizing the power of heaven and earth".
At this point, while Meng Xiuyuan felt deeply pressured, he was also very excited. He felt that the road ahead suddenly became clear. As far as the naked eye could see, there was a very vast world of martial arts waiting for him to explore.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at Meng Xiuyuan's slightly dazed look, Lu Miaozi didn't know the complacency in Meng Xiuyuan's heart. She just felt that a child was ignorant and had difficulty understanding these profound things.
And this was very close to what he had envisioned, which made him very satisfied.
"Haha, little brother, you don't have to think so much right now.
Although the road ahead is long, but you are so young, you will eventually finish it.
Moreover, the reason why I say that I am confident that you can defeat that witch Zhu Yuyan in thirty years.
It's because you have already surpassed all the warriors in the world based on basics..."
Lu Miaozi raised her hand to pour another cup of tea for Meng Xiuyuan, then stared back and forth and spoke encouragingly.
"What the old gentleman is referring to should be that my body is stronger than others..."
Meng Xiuyuan heard what Lu Miaozi said and could roughly guess what he meant.
"Yes, little brother is really smart!"
Lu Miaozi nodded, his eyes full of determination:
"My little brother's physical strength is probably unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
In terms of your physical body alone, you are already as good as some first-time innate masters.
More importantly, the stronger your body is, the broader your Dantian meridians are, and the more Qi you can carry.
In the future, when you enter Xiantian and cultivate your true energy to the extreme, it will definitely be far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
In this way, you become an anomaly in this world.
Even if your martial arts level is not as good as others, when it comes to taking action, you may not be unable to win..."
Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan nodded slightly, finally understanding why Lu Miaozi insisted on making a deal with him five years ago.
Indeed, if the top master in the Central Plains like Ning Daoqi cannot do anything to Zhu Yuyan, then if Lu Miaozi wants to take revenge, her hope must be placed entirely on Meng Xiuyuan, an "anomaly" who transcends common sense.
At this point, Lu Miaozi felt that the groundwork was sufficient, so he struck while the iron was hot, and then said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Little brother, you have such unique conditions, and you are already stronger than many people by nature.
But if you want to become a peerless master in the future, or even number one in the world, you still need to work hard.
After all, you haven't even set foot in the innate realm yet.
If the level of martial arts is too different, then even with your strength, you will not be able to defeat those real masters.
And this is where I can help you..."
"Oh? Please elaborate, sir." Meng Xiuyuan responded in a very cooperative manner.
Lu Miaozi smiled slightly, showing a slightly proud look:
"Although I am obsessed with miscellaneous studies and neglect martial arts, I cannot teach you personally.
But after all, I have been traveling around the world for decades and still have a few friends.
Little brother, as long as you promise to avenge that witch Zhu Yuyan for me in the future, then I will give you my full help.
Apart from anything else, when Dan Naning Daoqi saw the old man, he would respectfully call me Teacher Lu.
