The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 45: Learning Martial Arts, the Third Lesson
A long time ago, well, not too long ago, it was probably not long ago after Wei Fangjie joined the sect, he found Chu Zhou and asked a very crucial question.

Why do they only practice the Seven Wandering Dragon Movements or stand still every day?

Are there no other techniques to practice?
For example, weapons, martial arts, body movements, hidden weapons, archery, horsemanship, etc.

Martial arts, martial arts, to be precise, actually include two aspects, one is "martial arts" and the other is "gong"!
The exercises include such exercises as "The Angry Dragon Turning the River Hand", "The Vajra Leg" and "The Tiger Fist", which are full of standing exercises, training methods, organ training methods, meridian unblocking methods and so on to strengthen the body.

If it is complete, there will also be matching fighting methods and killer moves.

This can be considered a complete system, and is the rarest of all martial arts.

In addition to the skills, the so-called "martial arts" is all-encompassing.

All kinds of swords, spears, halberds, palm techniques, martial arts, hidden weapons and poisons are included.

Although there is a saying in the world that "it is better to be good at one thing than to know many things", but when walking in the world, you don't have to be an expert, but you can't know nothing at all!
For example, when it comes to Qinggong, it doesn’t mean you have to catch up with others, but you have to make sure that others can’t catch up with you.

Good lightness skills can make you invincible. If I can't beat you, I will run away. If you can't catch up with me, no matter how good you are, you can only stare at me.

In fact, there are many powerful and famous masters of light Kung Fu in the world.

For example, Luo Gan, the famous thief of Chishui Prefecture and traitor of Yunya Sword Sect, had profound attainments in Qinggong.

His nickname, Wanli Duxing, is not exaggerated. It refers to his excellent martial arts skills.

Moreover, if he didn't have this method, he would have been hunted down and killed by the people of Yunya Sword Sect.

Another example is weapons!

Although fists and palms are the best way to sense qi and temper the body, you don't need to hold a weapon to practice standing meditation. When fighting with others, you can exert several times the combat power if you have a weapon in your hand.

For example, Wei Jinkui, the owner of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School, was born in the Tiger Demon Pavilion and practiced the "Tiger Demon Secret Book", but his famous skill was the Thirteen-Way Deadly Soul-Chasing Spear, which was known as "the spear is as powerful as a dragon, taking lives and chasing souls".

There is also horse riding. To travel around the world, you can't just rely on your two legs, right?
As for hidden weapons, even if you don't use them, it's best to know about them so that you can maneuver when others use them.

Such techniques can be said to be essential for navigating the world.

Even in martial arts schools, one or two techniques will be taught in addition to standing meditation and training methods.

In fact, many times, these techniques are more popular than the exercises.

This is because, except for a very small number of people who can become disciples of the owner of the martial arts school and pursue long-term development, the rest of the people who enter the martial arts school to study are just there to pay money and learn martial arts. Most of them are gang members, and what they want is this kind of technique that can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

In some sects, there is often a martial arts pavilion with many secret manuals that can be copied.

Similarly, there will also be the sect's signature skills, from low to high, which can form a complementary effect.

Generally speaking, the main focus is on the sect's skills, and the rest depends on personal interests.

Wei Fangjie’s meaning is very simple, that is, we can’t just practice skills, we also have to learn martial arts!

If you don’t know anything when you are out there in the world, you will suffer!
Well, to be honest, Chu Zhou forgot this point, which was also caused by the lack of systematic inheritance in Xuanzhen Temple.

However, after thinking about it, Chu Zhou also felt that what Wei Fangjie said made sense, but he was a little confused about what to learn specifically.

It's not that there aren't any. After getting the secret books in the Xue Mansion, there are dozens of martial arts secrets, including weapons, light skills and the like.

However, when it came time to take it out, he gave up.

The main reason was that he didn't know the quality of these secrets, or the level they could reach, so he felt that just learning them casually was not a good idea.

Therefore, he wanted to wait until he entered the Reception Hall again to learn it himself and then test the situation. This was also the reason why he piled all the books on the bed!

Unexpectedly, the white-haired immortal changed his mode, which really gave him a big surprise and joy.

Now, he was certain that it would be impossible for him to expect the Immortal Jie Yin to explain these martial arts to him in his next life.

So, in his spare time, he picked and chose and decided on the martial arts that his fellow disciples would practice later.

As for weapons, he chose the Crescent Moon Sword, but in fact, the Xue family's Golden Scale Knife was equally powerful.

This sword technique can only be fully utilized with a special golden-scaled sword, so the secret book also includes a sword-forging technique.

The so-called golden scale knife has a special blade structure, which is arranged like fish scales. When it is swung, the wind passing through the golden scales will make a sound of the knife, which can interfere with the opponent's performance.

Moreover, different effects can be achieved according to the different structures of the blade scales, combined with different attack speeds and methods.

It may be like the roar of a tiger or a lion, the howling of a ghost or a wolf, or the clanging of metal and iron, the effects are different.

But who told Chu Zhou to like sword more!

In the future, if I really want to cultivate immortality, the title of Sword Immortal will sound much better than Knife Immortal.

Moreover, Chu Zhou had actually seen the Crescent Moon Sword. In the hands of the Scar Swordsman, it really looked like a crescent moon, cutting at will with considerable power.

The second one decided was "Hundred Change Steps".

This is a body movement technique that requires quick response and swift footwork. When combined with the corresponding knife techniques, it can create an effect of left-right confusion and front-back confusion. You think the knife is going to hit the left side, but in fact it is going to hit the right side; you think the knife is going from top to bottom, but in a turn, it is going to cut open your chest and abdomen.

In terms of footwork, the effect is excellent. The only drawback is that the best match for this "Hundred Changes Step" is swordsmanship, and it is a bit worse when used with "Crescent Moon Sword".

But there's no way, this is the only footwork worth mentioning in the secret book, there are no other moves.

Later, Chu Zhou took a fancy to the light skill called "Bengtui".

Yes, although "Bengtui" also has a killer move, which is pretty good, but what Chu Zhou likes most is the light skill called "Eight Steps Chasing the Wind".

It is said that if one practices to the extreme, one can chase the wind and take eight steps in a row without missing a single step.

In other words, this straight-line speed should be quite good. Chu Zhou also combined it with some training methods from "Flying on the Grass". He felt that the combination of the two could be considered useful.

And the one that was finally decided was "Breaking the Mountain"!
This martial art is quite interesting. It has no fixed moves, nor any killing moves. Instead, it focuses on "strength" and tries to develop a unique strength of "explosive force".

It is said that if one practices well, one can collapse a mountain with one strike, hence the name "Mountain Breaking Strike".

But from Chu Zhou's point of view, collapsing a mountain is pure bragging, but collapsing a big rock is still easy.

Especially when you put your hands together and use your explosive force, you can send the enemy flying several meters away. It is also a very effective means of creating distance.

Of course, what Chu Zhou values ​​is that this martial art can not only use the hands, feet and elbows to generate explosive power, but can also be used on weapons.

In this way, the scope of application is much wider.

As for the Xue family's middle-grade martial arts, "Five Elements Chain Hands", Chu Zhou didn't care much about it. He just took the internal organs training method from it for reference, but there was nothing much to say about it.

Now that everything is finalized, it's time to practice. Although he was the one who set up these martial arts, when it comes to practicing them, he may not be better than his fellow brothers.

He was not shy about it and didn't think he had to be the best in every aspect, so after he brought it out, he let everyone discuss it and practice it together.

Several junior brothers were naturally very happy. Even Fan Tiehu would get bored of standing still every day. It would be good to learn one or two other martial arts to change the "taste".

As a result, everyone seemed very active, but when it came to the specific choice, some differences arose among the brothers.

Of course, these martial arts must be practiced. I don't say they have to be very profound, but you have to learn them all.

Of course, there is still a certain order in which to learn...

Among them, Xu Cheng chose to take the electives "Hundred Changes Steps" and "Eight Steps Chasing the Wind". It was obvious that he had no interest in killing people, but was most eager to protect himself.

The first things Yi Huai got were "Crescent Sword" and "Mountain Breaking Strike". He liked attack more than defense, so he learned the ones with the strongest offensive power first.

As for Fan Tiehu, he was more pragmatic and only asked for one skill called "Breaking Mountain Strike".

This kind of martial arts is not only a technique for killing people, but can also be used to condense strength. It is most suitable for him now.

As for Wei Fangjie, he had practiced a lot of martial arts techniques before and had rich experience.

Based on his own weaknesses, the first thing he chose was "Eight Steps Chasing the Wind", and then he asked for "Crescent Moon Sword".

Well, because they were all 'newbies', they were just practicing according to the secret manuals, and their progress was not very fast.

Even Chu Zhou felt that the secret book had too few words, was not clear enough, and had many problems.

During this period, Wei Fangjie played a huge role.

After all, he has a family background in martial arts, so he is familiar with many martial arts and can explain them in a very clear and logical way.

Moreover, even if there is something he is not sure about, he can always seek help from outside the field!

They were all obtained by the Xue family and are not afraid of spreading within a specific area.

With Wei Jinkui's ability, even just a little guidance can make people feel suddenly enlightened.

To be honest, Wei Fangjie probably never thought that he could play such a big role in this regard.

In this way, after going back and forth, all the fellow disciples in Xuanzhen Temple have mastered various techniques.

Of course, it takes time to practice these martial arts. Even Chu Zhou no longer has the freedom he had when optimizing his skills before.

Well, as expected, without the help of the golden finger, he was turned back into a mortal.

But Chu Zhou was happy with it, and felt that this speed of cultivation was what ordinary people should have.

When everything was on track, Chu Zhou did not say a word and stepped into the Heavenly Palace again. After being led into the Reception Hall by the immortal servant, he began the third lesson in front of the Reception Immortal.

This time, after understanding the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth, he began to come into contact with the specific types, characteristics, and various properties of the spiritual inspiration particles.

And, I realized the most important point: what is the practice of immortality?

　It’s not easy to write a book, please read it!
