Starting from Tianlong, Wudu Tianxia

Chapter 127 The Subtlety

After turning the pages one by one, Gao Yuan began to think.

He remembered that Wang Yuyan once said in the original novel that the core of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique lies in alternating between fast and slow, with fast and slow interspersed, emphasizing the balance between speed and slowness.

Although this copy does not contain the eight key principles and core techniques of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

But he has a basic understanding of the principles of tripping, entangling, picking, and turning.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the cool sensation returned from the jade pendant. He then fell into endless meditation, constantly refining the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

He first quickly mentally reviewed the moves, then gradually slowed down his movements.

They repeatedly simulated the matching speed required for each move.

They deduced the results directly for a full hour.

Gao Yuancai finally understood the rhythm required for different moves.

Without the accompanying techniques and formulas, it is impossible to perfectly replicate.

But Gao Yuan was confident that, thanks to the magic of the Southern Dark Cloud Jade, the staff technique he had deduced was already approaching perfection.

Of course, compared to the original version of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, it may not be as essential.

then.

Gao Yuan did not stop there, and continued to break down the moves of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique in his mind.

He attempted to integrate the techniques of the Tianshan Plum Blossom School.

After finishing the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, he put down the book and picked up the Formless Finger Technique that was placed aside to read.

Compared to the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Stick Technique, learning the Shaolin's Formless Finger Technique was simpler for Gao Yuan, reducing the learning time by more than half.

It's not that the Formless Finger Technique is inferior to the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

Because the Formless Finger Technique was a complete copy without any omissions, and it came with a cultivation method, he didn't need to spend any time figuring it out.

They advanced with unstoppable momentum, studying the secret manual.

By the time of You (5-7 PM), Gao Yuan had finished studying all five books, including three of them on observation and two on deduction.

It includes three complete sets of martial arts: Wuxiang Jiezhi, Duoluoyezhi, and Jingangzhi, and also deduces the Dog-Beating Stick Technique and the first twelve palms of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

The only pity is that the last six of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in the Water Pavilion are missing.

After spending all day pondering it, there are bound to be some flaws.

During the practice of the three Shaolin martial arts, slight throbbing sensations of varying degrees were observed at acupoints such as Liangmen and Taiyi.

If it weren't for the cool sensation of the jade pendant flowing over the acupoints, an ordinary person would hardly notice anything unusual if they were careless.

Gao Yuan briefly recalled, and a sentence popped into his mind.

Zen Buddhism of Martial Arts: Using Buddhism to guide martial arts!

The 72 Shaolin Arts are all characterized by their powerful and fierce energy; practicing them will strengthen the body and prevent the accumulation of malevolent energy.

Without corresponding Buddhist teachings to resolve and harmonize the imbalance, over time, this can damage the meridians.

Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo are good examples.

I know absolutely nothing about Buddhism, and my acupoints are only throbbing slightly.

If one practices to a high level, one will naturally experience acupoint pain.

Once the key point was grasped, the young man paid no attention.

It's merely a Buddhist practice that has caused obstacles. Since the jade pendant can soothe and harmonize the acupoints, it's naturally harmless.

At this moment, his whole body was soaked in sweat.

It involves high-intensity martial arts deduction. Although the jade pendant helps with meditation, it still consumes one's own heart and energy, so how can one not be tired?

Stepping out of the attic, the setting sun shines through the window, its warmth lingering.

On the pebble path, there was a clump of green plants, withered and withered.

Gao Yuan compromised by taking one of the straight branches, and with a flick of his palm, the branches and leaves flew everywhere.

Using branches as a stick, with a light flick of the wrist, green branches burst forth through the wind.

Imagine the first move: a vicious dog blocking the road!

The green ribbons stirred up a strong gust of wind, neatly severing the withered grass in front of the steps, and causing fallen petals to flutter down.

He touched the ground with his toes, his body flipped and leaped, then turned into a dog-like stance, sending the pebbles in front of the steps flying into the air.

Under the dappled sunlight, the boy's figure was reflected in the flowing water of the small pond, the green branches swaying gracefully, showing no signs of awkwardness, fully demonstrating the wonder of the "hardness, softness, speed, and slowness" of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

A blessing comes to the soul.

The boy suddenly gathered his strength and pointed the green bar diagonally at the ground.

There are no dogs in the world!

As soon as this move was made, countless shadows of staffs appeared around Gao Yuan within three zhang of him, and the force caused flowers, grass, and large rocks to explode continuously.

The withered grass and fallen leaves were all stirred by the powerful energy, swirling in small circles and rising into the sky.

He exhaled a breath of stale air and channeled his energy back into his body.

The green stripe on his palm was still slightly warm, and Gao Yuan couldn't help but ponder.

To master the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Stick Technique to its fullest potential, one's mental discipline, rhythm, and comprehension must be perfectly matched; none of these three can be lacking.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture its subtlety.

Then I thought of it again.

The Dog-Beating Stick Technique is said to be unparalleled among all stick techniques in the world, but it is a single-type martial art that breaks through skillful techniques.

Compared to its own all-around counter-attack martial art, the Tianshan Plum Blossom Technique, it is still far inferior.

However, drawing on various martial arts perspectives also inspired many ingenious ideas in him.

It will greatly benefit one's martial arts skills!

Looking up at the sky, Huan Shi Water Pavilion had no sleeping room.

Covered in sweat and feeling extremely uncomfortable, coupled with a rumbling stomach, he prepared to return to Canhe Village.

Following the instructions given by Murong Fu, Gao Yuan avoided the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation and walked all the way to Jinkou, where Murong family servants were already stationed.

Those waiting.

When we returned to the village by boat, dusk had already fallen.

At the banquet that evening, Murong Fu asked him about his insights and reflections from the day.

Upon learning that the young man had read through five superior martial arts manuals in a single day, Murong Fu was astonished.

Gao Yuan composed himself slightly and replied with a smile, "Brother Murong, please don't misunderstand. Of the five classic texts, I've memorized four, but I've only truly studied the Dog-Beating Stick Technique."

Everyone marveled.

"Brother, you are too modest. Although it is just memorization, this kind of memorization method is so good that you can never forget what you see. It is impossible without exceptional talent."

Hearing the boy's explanation, Murong Fu felt relieved.

There are indeed those in ancient times who left an unforgettable impression; the stories of Wang Can of the Eastern Han Dynasty reviewing chess games and Fu Rong of the Former Qin Dynasty reciting poems after hearing them are still fresh in our minds.

Both of them were highly knowledgeable and had excellent memories.

It can only be said that it is rare in the world, but it is by no means unprecedented.

He took a breath and slowly said, "I recently had the opportunity to observe the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Staff Technique. Its swift sweeping staff technique is indeed a rare sight. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Gao Yuan's expression was strange: "Uh! Brother Murong, could it be that your fighting style is incredibly fluid and your cudgel moves like the wind?"

"But is there an error?"

Murong Fu noticed that his expression was off and frowned slightly.

Gao Yuan did not hide anything: "Although I do not know the inner workings of the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Staff Technique, my elders have said that the essence of the staff technique lies in the balance of speed and slowness, not in simply striking fast."

Murong Fu was taken aback upon hearing this: "I would like to hear the details."

"Brother Murong only seeks a quick attack; if he faces someone familiar with this staff technique, he may suffer a loss."

As he finished speaking, Murong Fu's heart surged with emotion.

He immediately broke off a branch to practice, and when he came to the move Gao Yuan had mentioned, he used a slow attack to counter the fast one. Suddenly, a phantom appeared in front of the branch and swept across, catching the opponent off guard. It was indeed full of charm.

Murong Fu practiced for a while longer, and after Gao Yuan gave him some pointers, he suddenly understood.

"Brother, your insight is brilliant. If you hadn't pointed it out, I'm afraid I would have gone further and further astray."

He seemed slightly embarrassed.

"Brother Murong, you flatter me. These are just a few insights passed down from our sect; they are nothing special."

"In the path of martial arts, a slight difference can lead to a huge error; a single word of guidance is worth more than days of hard work."

After speaking, he raised his glass to Gao Yuan and said, "I have benefited greatly from our conversation. I would like to offer you a toast."

Gao Yuan raised his cup of tea, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

"When ordinary people obtain the essence of martial arts, they wish they could keep it to themselves. I admire your magnanimity, brother."

"Brother Murong, it's nothing, don't worry about it."

Murong Fu treated him well, so it wouldn't hurt for him to pass on a few tips on staff techniques.

Anyway, his cousin will figure out the tricks eventually, so it's nothing much that he just told her first.
