Chapter 5 Burning Wood
With improved self-cultivation and contact with hidden dangers, I also learned the unique Yijin Jing of Shaolin Temple Town School. The disciples' relationship with Ziyun became much closer. The three years on Qingyang Mountain have really gained a lot.
What's more, the benefits are far more than that. Jiang Yu has been practicing in Qingyang Sect for three years. Regardless of whether he has learned the martial arts of Qingyang Sect in the past three years, whether he has joined the Qingyang Sect or whether he has truly established enough relationships with the Qingyang Sect, it doesn't matter how important it is. Others know that he has been in Qingyang Sect for three years, especially for the God-Survey Sect, this resume is enough to allow Jiang Yu to escape the initial depressed stage.
It’s like some units on earth. If you have studied in some places before reporting to the unit, then you will be much higher than ordinary people at the beginning. Your colleagues will look up to you a few more times, and your superiors will pay more attention to it. Even if there are people who don’t like you, you won’t dare to turn against you easily.
Farewell to Taikun Zhenren. Jiang Yu had not seen Taikan Zhenren before going down the mountain. The head of Qingyang is said to be in seclusion, as if he wanted to try to further his martial arts skills.
He smacked his tongue secretly, Jiang Yu didn't know how much this real person wanted to cultivate his own strength to be satisfied? However, considering that this old Taoist priest who is in his sixties would not give up improving his strength even in order to live longer, right?
After three years on Qingyang Mountain, Jiang Yu also learned about the various realms pursued by martial artists in the world and what these realms represent.
There is no need to mention the innate realm. The realm of the innate realm after the innate realm requires one to understand the heaven and earth with one's own self. The so-called heaven means to understand the heaven and earth with one's own mind. This state cannot be achieved simply by improving one's cultivation. It can even be said that warriors who have practiced to this level have basically raised their own cultivation to a limit, and it is impossible to go further.
The realm of heaven is a threshold to cross this limit, and it is also the third difficulty that martial artists face from their practice.
Compared with the previous two difficulties, there is really no one in a world who can enter the realm of the Heaven. However, once you successfully connect with the world with yourself, not only will your strength be instantly improved, but also will also lead the practitioner to a new level: the body will be tempered by the energy of heaven and earth and become stronger, and can accommodate more pure true qi, and your lifespan will be greatly improved.
Jiang Yu had long known that humans in this world would have a longer life span, and he did not know whether the world was more vital. Even ordinary people would live to be 180 years old as long as they were healthy. If they were successful in martial arts, their life span would be even longer.
In Ziyun's words, as long as Jiang Yu does not encounter any accidents, it is very easy to live to 120 with his current cultivation level. If he pays attention to maintenance, he can live to 140 or 50 even if his cultivation level stagnates.
If you are a master with innate perfection, you can go for 180 - so although Taikun Zhenren is already sixty years old, they are all old seniors in front of them. In fact, there are many people in this world who are higher in seniority than the old Taoist priests, but these old seniors generally do not stalk around, and they often find a secluded place to meditate and practice quietly or hide in the mountain gate of their own sect and never come out.
If you practice to the realm of Tongtian... you will have to go to the age of 300.
When he heard this, Jiang Yu was stunned for a long time. To him, if he reached this level, he would not be simply practicing martial arts, right?
But what shocked him was that although there were few masters who had reached the Tongtian realm, they were not without them. It is said that no one could reach that realm above Tongtian for hundreds of years. It was only from some ancient records that several masters had reached it...
Jiang Yu didn't listen any longer. He felt that with his poor talent, those "legendary" levels were too far away from him. If you have the time to consider those, it would be better to consider what Wei Yingyang was? What level did he have to practice to kill the girl?
"At least, it must be that the innate perfection is close to the realm of the heavens, right?"
After making up his mind to see Shangguan Li, he asked carefully. As long as he was still within the scope of the innate realm, he felt that the problem was not big. If he reached the level of Tongtian, he would feel that it would be difficult to deal with, because after asking, he found out that the so-called Tongtian realm, he still needed to understand the world and other things? He had no confidence in these things that he was talking about. He even suspected that he would never hope to reach that level in his life.
After leaving the territory of Qingyang Mountain, Jiang Yu took Zhan Zhao to the official road and advanced to Zhuzhou.
Qingyang Mountain is located in the Sili area, basically located in the northeast of the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Zhuzhou happens to be on the west side. Just follow the official road and you can reach Zhuzhou quickly.
In addition, Zhuzhou is adjacent to the sea and produces important iron ore, so the road from Zhuzhou to Sili is wide and easy to travel, and there are many caravans coming and going. If you feel that traveling alone is inconvenient, you can find a caravan to get a guy or something.
Jiang Yu and Zhan Zhao went to the official road and met no less than eight caravans. However, Jiang Yu and Zhan Zhao were carrying enough money and had martial arts, and were not afraid of any trouble, so they did not get together with those caravans. Instead, three caravans saw that they were both carrying weapons and invited them to accompany them, and were even willing to provide food and accommodation.
"Master, why didn't you agree to the caravan's invitation?"
Not long after going down Qingyang Mountain, Jiang Yu found a OK town and bought a new outfit and replaced Zhan Zhao's Taoist robe. He has grown fast in the past three years, and he lived on Qingyang Mountain all day, so he basically wore the Qingyang School Taoist robe for convenience.
It doesn’t matter when you are on the mountain, but you can’t do this anymore after you go down the mountain. Moreover, Zhan Zhao is not a disciple of the Qingyang Sect, so it is not convenient to wear the Qingyang Sect’s “uniform”.
Jiang Yu also changed the clothes that she had worn for three years and sewed many times.
Not to mention, I don’t know if the magical skills are slightly successful and the hidden dangers of the gods are eliminated. Now that the clothes are changed, the temperament of the whole person has changed. In addition, the childishness has gone off, and the whole person looks more manly.
However, compared with Zhan Zhao next to him, it was still a lot worse - it was the young master who brought the bodyguard before, but now it is the young master who and... the senior bodyguard.
"Forget it... people are different after all."
After throwing away this entanglement, Jiang Yu answered Zhan Zhao's question: "We are not in a hurry along the way, so we can walk slowly and take a look at the scenery along the way."
One is that you can walk slowly, and there are not so many constraints when walking. They can choose the route at will when necessary. Jiang Yu has been in this world for a long time, but he has seen too little, so he also wants to add more knowledge.
"It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books, and it is the same for practicing martial arts."
Zhan Zhao nodded. It was not that the master said he believed in whatever he said, but that he felt that his master said this was really right, but... When did his master's "literary literacy" become so high?
"By the way, how have you practiced the Arhat Fist that I taught you a few days ago?"
Before Zhan Zhao could think deeply, he heard his master's inquiry and quickly answered.
Jiang Yu has not practiced this Arhat Fist for a long time. He just taught Zhan Zhao all the fist and palm skills of the Emei Sect. This disciple learned so fast. Although he was not as good as his own in the changes of moves, he also had the meaning of doing whatever he wanted and picking up all kinds of palm techniques and moves at will.
As a result, Jiang Yu had no teachings, so he simply took out all his newly learned Shaolin fists and feet to teach Zhan Zhao.
It’s also a blessing that he learned external moves quickly enough and could barely cope with them. At the same time, Zhan Zhao’s terrifying learning speed further stimulated Jiang Yu. In order not to be embarrassed in front of his disciples, he also made a cruel decision to learn Shaolin boxing.
Even in order to learn this boxing technique, I had to recite the scripture that was even more upset than a tongue twister. As a result, after a few months, I recited the Great Compassion Mantra thoroughly and even recorded nearly half of the Shurangama Sutra.
However, he finally completed the martial arts of the Shaolin Sect in various stages. After practicing Wei Tuo Palm, he basically no longer had to learn these things. In the words of Mr. Chengguan's nephew, "Using the current cultivation level of uncle, it is more than enough to enter the Bodhidharma Hall to study martial arts or practice one of the seventy-two unique skills of this temple."
However, he became a disciple of Xuanku, so he didn't have to go to the Damo Hall to learn one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin. Xuanku is a monk with a very high level in the Shaolin Sect and is one of the well-known masters in Shaolin. His martial arts cultivation belongs to the most peak of Shaolin Sect.
And I don’t know if Master Mie Jue mentioned in the letter that Xuan Ci made Jiang Yu worship Xuan Ku as his teacher, because Xuan Ku’s best martial arts is the wood-burning knife technique, one of Shaolin’s seventy-two unique skills.
Although Jiang Yu learned the magical skill of double killing swords and swords, he could turn sword moves into sword moves, but with his current understanding of double killing swords and swords, the sword moves transformed into sword moves can only interfere with the enemy. It is still a little short of using real killing moves - only some specific sword moves can exert their due power with a long sword. Even if many sword moves are used, their power will be greatly reduced, which is far less effective than using the sword technique directly.
Now that he can learn the wood-burning sword technique from Xuan Ku, his sword technique can also be further improved and his own strength will become stronger, so he is naturally happy.
In addition, the wood-burning knife method is also a first-class convenience for ignition, because the so-called wood-burning knife method is called because practitioners must hold a knife to cut trees with 49 swords before the trees are spontaneously burned. This knife method is simply a compulsory practice for traveling at home. Jiang Yu and Zhan Zhao did not walk with the caravan, and they also had to practice the wood-burning knife method while walking.
