In order to get the thread-bound ancient book, Li Mingshan had half of his body in the passage. At this moment, Li Mingshan gritted his teeth and quickly rushed into the passage that was only half a person high, and the iron gate was immediately closed. This didn't take half a second from rushing in to the iron gate. Obviously... Li Mingshan has practiced this move many times.

"Hu, Hu."

Li Mingshan was hiding in a small secret room that was only two or three square meters in size, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, I'm prepared for a long time. I believe he won't kill me? Humph." Li Mingshan sneered.

Li Mingshan had long considered what to do if someone wanted to kill him. This small secret room contained bank cards and other items to attract the killer, and he fled in.

No matter when, Li Mingshan only believed in himself.

It is precisely because of this almost unsparkled preparation that Li Mingshan has not fallen for more than 20 years.

"Buzz~~" Suddenly, the wide and five centimeter-thick steel iron door suddenly flew towards him.

A five-centimeter-thick steel plate iron door cannot penetrate even a bullet. If Teng Qingshan wants to break through this steel plate iron door by brute force, he will probably have to build up the momentum to shoot the most violent "tiger cannon fist", but he doesn't need to do this, because... it is very difficult to break the door latch.

A figure rushed in.

"Brother, you..." Li Mingshan wanted to speak.

"Puff." A very slight sound, a blood hole appeared in his temple.

Li Mingshan's eyes were wide open, motionless, and there was unwillingness in his eyes.

Teng Qingshan didn't even look at him, but turned around and left quietly.

*******

In the living room rented by Teng Qingshan.

"I don't know what this book "The Millennium Chronicle" tells. Liu Yan is indeed a master of the Republic of China period, so I know this." Teng Qingshan was curious in his heart and practiced internal martial arts. Naturally, Teng Qingshan also had some understanding of some famous figures in history.

Liu Yan, nicknamed "Liu Shenhou", is a rare master of the Monkey Fist School. At that time, he had a status of the same as Sun Lutang, the "Tiger Head Shaobao" and others.

Since it was written by Liu Yan, Teng Qingshan naturally had the motivation to watch it.

When I open this book "The Millennium Chronicles", the characters in it are traditional Chinese. Because many ancient books are traditional Chinese, Teng Qingshan was taught by "Teng Boley". Teng Boley also lives abroad and knows traditional Chinese characters. Naturally, Teng Qingshan will teach Teng Qingshan to write traditional Chinese characters. When reading this traditional Chinese book, Teng Qingshan has no difficulty.

"I really don't know that this Liu Shen Monkey is actually from the lineage of the thief."

Teng Qingshan quickly read it because the previous book "The Millennium Chronicle" was almost all about some things in the history of the Thief Sect. After reading about one-third of the time, Teng Qingshan began to stop. Because the title of this chapter turned out to be - The Millennium Transformation of the Martial Arts World.

"According to the historical records of my thief and the martial arts chronicles I discovered, I found that from ancient times to the present, fewer and fewer people have reached the level of a master, and it is becoming more and more difficult."

Teng Qingshan couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw this sentence.

"Also, the history of internal martial arts. Although all major sects falsely claim to be thousands of years, in fact, the longest-standing internal martial arts, "Tai Chi", was also created by Zhang Sanfeng, Wudang in the Ming Dynasty, and is less than a thousand years old. Our Chinese history is 5,000 years, and internal martial arts only appeared in nearly a thousand years. What about the thousands of years before?"

Teng Qingshan couldn't help but resonate with him after seeing it.

Xia, Shang and Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, Three Kingdoms, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties...

In these dynasties, did people rely on brute force to fight?

Teng Qingshan doesn't believe it.

For example, those powerful generals from the Sui and Tang dynasties could easily wave a thousand kilograms of stone lion with both hands. This waving a stone lion is two different concepts. Like a normal person, he could lift a hundred kilograms of rice, but he felt uncomfortable if he had to hold a ten kilogram of dumbbell in one hand and let him wave it casually.

To wield a thousand pounds of stone lion, you must at least have the strength to lift ten thousand pounds of pounds.

Even Teng Qingshan today needs to do his best to dance that kind of stone lion, and it is impossible for him to fight for a long time.

Some powerful generals during the Three Kingdoms period were able to rely on the power of one person to rush among thousands of troops and kill generals. This is simply incredible. A person's power is limited, how can he ignore thousands of troops?

"Yes, this nearly a thousand years is the history of internal martial arts, what about the previous thousands of years?" Teng Qingshan was also puzzled, and then continued to look down.

"I spent more than ten years collecting information and finally had a clear inference in my mind."

"My inference is that since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been decreasing sharply!"

Teng Qingshan couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw this.

"According to many of the information I have found, there was no such thing as internal martial arts in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties. At that time, the strong men absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, that is, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and 'refined essence into qi', so that internal energy was produced in their bodies. As they practiced, the internal energy became stronger and stronger, and they opened up meridians until they were acquired."

"A acquired strong internal strength has a strong internal strength and is extremely powerful."

"When the mysterious Niwan Palace in my mind was opened up and began to 'refining Qi into God', this person's 'god' was able to merge with internal strength and temper it in the dantian, and then it was gradually transformed into innate true energy and became a powerful innate power."

"The innate powerful people constantly temper the true energy, and the true energy is constantly tempered in the dantian. The first stage is the realm of "virtual pill". When the true energy condenses into a solid body, it is the second stage of "real pill". This real pill has been tempered many times before it can reach the third stage of "golden pill". The innate golden pill strong people are the peak strong people! They have incredible strength. According to ancient times, one person rushes through thousands of troops and one person fights tens of thousands of troops, are all powerful people who have reached the innate."

Teng Qingshan saw it and felt incredible!

How is that possible?

Acquired, innate?

This person's "god" and "internal strength" can actually become "innate true essence".

This innate realm is actually divided into three stages: "empty pill", "real pill" and "golden pill"?

"In ancient times, the so-called 'Golden Elixir Avenue' refers to this. When you step into the Golden Elixir Avenue, you will truly reach your peak."

Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.

I'm afraid that can only be said so, otherwise some famous people in history, such as the "Yue Nu" and the super strong people such as "Xiang Yu", could not explain why they were so powerful. And there are many records that call ancient practitioners from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors a "Qi Qi Refining Master".

It is probably also refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Teng Qingshan continue reading.

"However, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to decrease sharply."

"So many heroes of war during the Sui and Tang dynasties should be the last group of super strong people. For example, Li Yuanba, Qin Qiong and others, only by reaching the innate realm can they wield a thousand kilograms of huge objects without feeling tired." The records in the books also resonated with Teng Qingshan.

He is already at the limit of the world. He has a stone lion in his hands, waving a thousand pounds of weight, and fighting for a long time. Teng Qingshan asked himself that he could not do it.

"And according to some records of various sects, the number of these strong people became less and less after the Sui and Tang dynasties. Later, even a powerful person never appeared again. When the Song Dynasty began, it was almost impossible to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine the internal energy."

Teng Qingshan sighed inwardly.

First, no one reached the innate level, but later, he could not practice at all.

"The fewer the strong ones, it also makes me weaker in the Song Dynasty. Since this absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cannot practice internal energy, then the people of the Song Dynasty will of course find a way to take another path."

Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.

"In ancient times, practicing physical strength was just a poor person. Because it was almost impossible to develop internal strength by practicing physical strength. It was too difficult to 'from the outside to the inside'."

"But since we simply absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, we cannot practice internal strength. This has caused generations of beautiful and charming figures to be involved. As time goes by, there are gradually people who can produce internal strength by relying on a series of means such as standing in a stance. For example, the ancient Song Dynasty general "Yue Fei" was a general who practiced internal strength."

"However, during the Song Dynasty, internal martial arts were just a prototype, and only a few days of pride could cultivate internal strength. As for opening up the meridians of the whole body and reaching the level of a master, it is impossible."

"After experiencing a brief Yuan Dynasty and in the early Ming Dynasty, Wudang Zhang Sanfeng should be the first master to practice internal martial arts to the peak, open up the meridians, muscles, membranes, muscles, bones and muscles, and the limits of the Tao. From this period, the internal martial arts system was finally improved, and then Tai Chi, Xingyi, Bagua Fist... many types of boxing also appeared one by one."

Teng Qingshan saw it from beginning to end and felt very sad.

He could only sigh-

People are indeed very capable of adapting to the environment.

In ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and people learned to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, practice internal energy, and even practice innate true energy.

But the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dropped sharply, what should humans do?

After hundreds of years of exploration, I don’t know how many talented people waste their youth and gradually develop internal martial arts!

To this day, the system of internal martial arts practice has been very perfect. There are even magical secret techniques such as "Tiger Shape and God-Transforming Art", "Xuanwu Rock and Stone Power", and "Fish and Dragon Transformation".

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, could people at that time imagine that they could cultivate to this level from the outside to the inside?

"In fact, this cultivation process is the process of 'refining essence into qi' and 'refining qi into spirit'. In ancient times, the 'element' of refining essence into qi refers to the essence of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But now, this 'element' refers to the essence of the human body!" Liu Yan described in the book, "After all, it cannot be absorbed from the outside, and can only absorb the essence of the human body. Therefore, most of the powerful people who practice internal martial arts are very capable of eating it. It is normal to eat half a roasted lamb in one meal, because they have to refine a large amount of essence and blood, so they naturally have to eat more."

Teng Qingshan nodded secretly.

Indeed, he is very edible himself.
