Chapter 63 Direction and Madness
This conversation with Shi Jie had a great impact on Meng Zhao, making him immersed in entanglement and contemplation for the next few days.
There are only a few thoughts running through my mind.
How can I make myself, who is skilled in martial arts, become more spiritual?
How to make the martial arts that can be seen in the future glow with new brilliance and achieve higher possibilities.
To this end, Meng Zhao browsed through the Meng Mansion's treasury books in search of reliable solutions.
After all, aimless speculation is worse than analysis based on existing data and information.
Not to mention, there are many similar examples recorded in some biographical books. Generally, ordinary people, or people with low strength, suddenly gained extremely powerful power, and killed a lot of people in the early stage, making great achievements.
In the middle and later stages, they are completely different from each other, and they are surprisingly similar.
The few people who have broken through the demonic barrier know what is happening but do not know why.
Even if we achieve higher achievements, it is still a result of ignorance and chance.
There is such an example, which brought a lot of inspiration to Meng Zhao.
The background of the story takes place in the late Yingzong period of the Ming Dynasty in the Middle Ages. After the coup, the world gradually stabilized, and the world was at peace for a long time, with few major events happening.
However, a young man named Ruan Ying stirred up the world. In less than ten years, he went from being a cowherd boy in the countryside to becoming one of the few top masters in the world. His martial arts skills have reached the level of a supreme master.
Almost like a celestial being.
There were three major events in his life that had an extremely important impact on him and caused his rapid transformation.
First, he stepped into the world of martial arts from herding cows in the countryside, all because of his kindness, he saved a dying master. The master couldn't bear to lose what he had learned in his life, so he entrusted his cultivation initiation to Ruan Ying before he died.
p>
A clichéd story and a cliched setting, but it is recorded in the biography of this character.
And if there are no accidents, Ruan Ying's cultivation will be stagnant for a certain period of time in the future, and hidden dangers may be laid at this time.
The second thing is that after Ruan Ying quickly became famous, he was valued by a big family at that time and married to a noble girl. He was directly promoted from a rootless grassroots to the aristocratic class at that time, which made him indulge in pleasure for a time.<
/p>
This is normal. I have lived a hard life since I was a child. But if I am offered such glory and wealth, I will certainly not refuse it.
The third thing is that Ruan Ying suffered a lot of blind blows and endured a lot of pain when his strength stagnated.
I don’t know what he was thinking in the end. After explaining his whereabouts, he left his wife’s family and followed the ancient monks’ method of ascetic cultivation. It took him three years to break through this barrier.
Later, Ruan Ying himself said this, "Never let yourself become a slave of desire."
Perhaps from a superficial perspective, Ruan Ying felt that he was blinded by the colorful world and did not practice hard, so his cultivation stagnated.
Later, I saw through this honey poison, so I chose the method of penance, sharpened my spiritual will, and finally broke through the barrier.
However, Meng Zhao came up with another idea based on his own situation, what Shi Jie said, and the story of Ruan Ying.
Do the skills and martial arts they suddenly acquired belong to them?
Martial arts, and those who practice martial arts, should be based on people and use people to control martial arts. But will they become human-controlled martial arts because they gain strength too easily and do not have the capacity to carry it themselves?
p>
Borrowing the two practice methods of kendo to explain, one is a sword master or a sword slave.
Most people, even the ones Shi Jie mentioned, may be sword masters. Regardless of their level of martial arts, humans are the masters.
A small number of people, such as Meng Zhao, Ruan Ying and others, are man-made sword slaves, and their overly powerful martial arts suppresses their initiative.
Ruan Ying said, don't let yourself become a slave of desire, perhaps he is also saying, don't let yourself become a slave of martial arts.
This may also be a difference between craftsmanship and spirituality.
Meng Zhao didn't know if his understanding was correct, but he felt that he should have found the key to the problem.
As for how to solve it, Meng Zhao has an idea in his mind, but he still has to find and verify it in practice.
As a result, Lu Le, the little housekeeper of the second room, became sad in the next two days.
The reason was that Meng Zhao was given some advice by Shi Jie and treated it as a top priority. Even the long-awaited Earth Spirit Pearl was temporarily forgotten, and he began to wander in the mountains and seas of books, looking for a solution to the problem.
p>
This kind of enthusiasm to study without letting go of the scroll, soaking in the library where the books are stored, feels a bit obsessed.
Many times, if Lu Le hadn't reminded Meng Zhao to eat and drink water, Meng Zhao might have forgotten to do these things. In short, he would have forgotten to eat and sleep.
After finishing "Extensive Reading", Meng Zhao still didn't give up and started practicing martial arts day and night.
After having breakfast in the early morning and washing up, I started boxing, the most basic Arhat Boxing, then the Sun Wheel Seal, and finally the Iron Hand. I turned over and over, kept hitting, kept hitting, until the sun was in the sky, and then until sunset.
In the West Mountain, darkness finally enveloped the earth, and it still did not stop until I washed my body and fell asleep in the bathtub.
Lu Le was extremely worried about this. Let's not say whether Meng Zhao's actions were useful, but if such an intense training method continued, it would most likely cause hidden harm to the person himself.
Fortunately, their Meng family has a big business, and their second wife is also very wealthy. They have unlimited resources for precious cultivation, and they have sufficient preparations for secret medicines for maintaining the body, which can maintain Meng Zhao's physical condition very well.
Even so, Lu Le still kept trying to persuade him.
I have no choice but to go find Meng Chuan. The two of them have been closest to each other recently and I want to speak with more weight.
As a result, when the fifth young master saw Meng Zhao's energy, his eyes instantly shone.
Not only did he not dissuade him, but he was stimulated. After warning Lu Le not to disturb Meng Zhao, he went back to practice more on himself, perfectly replicating the intensity of Meng Zhao's practice in his current crazy state.
I heard that Anhui, the wife of the third wife, was helpless about this. She knew her son’s character best.
If he doesn't stop himself, no one else will be able to influence his thoughts.
To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Since Meng Chuan couldn't count on him, Lu Le turned to Shi Jie.
After having been in contact with this innate master for a long time, I found that he is not a bad person and it is not difficult to get along with him.
Of course, perhaps the premise is that the other party is injured and has been infected with the two major killers and swindlers, which are "good medicines" that are necessary at home.
Lu Le secretly looked for an opportunity to explain the abnormality that happened to Meng Zhao to Shi Jiezai in detail, hoping that he could help persuade Meng Zhao.
After all, everything was caused by his words.
As a result, after hearing this, Shi Jie slapped his thigh, stroked his chin and admired.
It is said that Meng Zhao is indeed a genius, and he actually discovered the secret method he mentioned in such a short period of time, and the boy can be taught.
Anyway, Lu Le himself didn't see any good changes, he was just worried.
However, Shi Jie is optimistic about this, believing that if you are not crazy, you will not survive.
Sometimes it takes this kind of madness to achieve achievements that others cannot achieve.
Lu Le was discouraged and could only endure it and look for an opportunity to persuade Meng Zhao again.
