Chapter 216 Seeking one for the whole

At five o'clock in the morning, Liu Qi woke up under the influence of the biological clock and habitually circulated his true energy to dispel the remaining sleepiness, but suddenly found that his state had changed.

"By the way, I'm quiet. I successfully calmed down last night!" Liu Qi patted his face and confirmed that he was not dreaming. A strong sense of joy arose, but was forced to suppress it by him.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

The knock on the door came, and I picked up my phone and looked at the time. Liu Qi shouted "Who?" while quickly putting on the clothes thrown by the bed, and then I heard Feng Xue's calm voice.

"It's me."

"Here you come!" He quickly walked to the door and looked at the master who was still wearing the ragged outfit. Liu Qi felt a little bad in his heart. Before he could ask, Feng Xue said:

"It's time to go for morning exercise, bring all your luggage and check out."

"Check out?" Liu Qi was not surprised by morning exercises, but when he heard about checking out, Liu Qi's expression became a little ugly.

"Well, send the dirty clothes to the laundry, then find a bridge to stay for a few days, and then continue on the road." Feng Xue was as if she was talking about something extremely daily, and gave a casual answer. Liu Qi was very embarrassed for a moment. She could accept it if she was sleeping in the wild, but she slept on the bridge...

"Master, can you ask, why do you have to sleep on the overpass?"

"I can!" Liu Qi said seriously, and Feng Xue waved her hands toward him:

"Actually, before you, I have accepted other disciples. Some are for the sake of being chivalrous, some are full of blood hatred, and some are simply poor and want to live a better life. I taught them a lot, but none of them learned real skills. Do you know why?"

Taoism is my personal understanding of practice.

"I haven't told you the outline of my martial arts. Do you know why?"

"To achieve one's own strength, to achieve oneness with all your skills, to achieve oneness with all your heart, to achieve oneness with all your strength, this is the concept of "martial arts."

"The so-called courage means understanding fear, facing it, treating it as your own pocket. If you want to train your mind, it is meaningless to simply strengthen yourself."

After leaving the hotel, Liu Qi, who was embarrassed in his heart, suddenly heard Feng Xue's words and didn't know how to answer for a while, but Feng Xue didn't expect him to give the answer, just said to himself:

"I don't think you can stick with it."

"Ah..." Liu Qi's expression suddenly became strange. As a netizen, he naturally knew the meme of "Dipping mop, Lu Bu is alive", but he did not expect that this question would be asked from the master's mouth.

"My martial arts is not a inheritance of each school. I have both Buddhist secrets and Taoist classics, and of course there are some strange tricks and tricks of small schools. If necessary, I can design a suitable set of martial arts for people. Those who are eager for revenge will teach them the skills of murder. Those who want to be chivalrous and righteous will also give him the capital to violate the military forbidden, but in the end, that is not the object of inheriting the mantle."

Looking at this magical scene, Liu Qi had already reached the mouth and had a problem stuck, but Feng Xue still explained:

"Practicing theory requires feasible skills, and this is a technique.

"Practice requires a firm enough will. This will cannot be trained by traveling alone. To give a simple example, if someone beats you with a mop with shit, what would you do?"

...

"So, if you tell me this, do you mean that I passed the test?"

"So, what I am better than them is that I don't have any deep grudges and just want to learn martial arts?" Liu Qi quickly understood Feng Xue's meaning. Feng Xue nodded in agreement with this, but then shook her head:

"It's right to be simple, but it's not necessarily strong."

"Seeking the Way with the Spirit and the Sex.

As he said that, he looked at the Yangtze River that had already come into view and said as he moved forward:

"Didn't meet your standards?" Liu Qi subconsciously used honorific words, but Feng Xue just shook her head and said:

Feng Xue calmly said the lines he had wanted to say once. Although Liu Qi felt that this sounded a little familiar, he didn't remember it for a while. After realizing that he could not resist, he could only turn around and repack the luggage he had not had time to pack yesterday, and then prepare to find a bridge to practice with Feng Xue.

"This so-called 'opponent' is your goal in practicing martial arts, and this is the Tao.

Seeing that Feng Xue did not pick up the deadly pillow, she punched a set of fists by the river and stabbed her horse, Liu Qi couldn't help but become curious:

"How can you pass on your mantle?"

“Just simply is not suitable.”

"Practice skills with skills and strength.

Technique is technology.

Liu Qi looked at the river surface that had recovered as the waves surging, and couldn't help but look excited. After all, he still had a little dream of the protagonist, because he felt that since the master told him this, it naturally means that he could pass on this so-called mantle.

Speaking of this, Feng Xue suddenly punched the river water, without any special light effect, but a fleeting sense of crisis flashed through the river water, and a trench-like depression appeared clearly on the river water, and then closed again under the action of the rushing river water.

Method is method.

"Your goal is simple, which is very good, but in contrast, you also lack the motivation to persevere. Those who can't even afford to eat will be awakened by poverty when they are tired; those who have deep hatred will be chased by hatred when they are tired; those who desire to be a hero will be driven by worldly injustice when they are tired, but you are different. You do not have this motivation, because everything is interest, so you have the capital to give up at any time. In this sect, you lack a consistent motivation."

"This starts with our understanding of 'mart'." Feng Xue tried to cover the fluctuations of killing intent by using the method of "scientific differentiation" learned by chance in entering the state of "god", while using the method of telling Liu Qi to tell her understanding of 'mart'-

"Achieving goals requires theoretical basis, and this is the method.

As he said that, Feng Xue suddenly swung his hand behind him, and a water arrow shot out of the river, turning into a water ball the size of a basketball, landing in Feng Xue's hand, flowing slowly in his movements like playing Tai Chi.

"The so-called martial arts are nothing more than defeating the opponent, but this opponent is not just a ‘person’, it can also be an abstract concept. Your opponent can be an enemy, this world, a certain phenomenon, or even yourself.

"I just passed the first level." Feng Xue didn't keep it in a slight way, and affirmed Liu Qi's thoughts very casually. "You are different from your seniors. After all, most people regard 'martial arts' as a tool, and give him a gun and a sum of money, and there is no difference. Of course, I'm not saying that this is not good. After all, martial arts itself is a tool. It's use to revenge, to maintain justice, to pursue excitement, or to even use to pick up girls. But that doesn't conform to the purpose of our sect after all."

Tao is the goal.

"Cultivate the mind." Feng Xue threw out two words, as if she felt it was not clear enough, and added:

"Explanation of the method with heart and intention.

The so-called practice is the process of complementing each other, improving each other, promoting each other, and finally reaching the goals one pursues.

Not only practice in the fantasy sense, any learning behavior can be applied-

For example, curing diseases and saving people is Tao, then medical skills are art, and medical theory is law. Use medical theory to create new medical technologies and discover more medical theories through the practice of medical skills. The interaction process of the two is the process of seeking Tao (curing diseases and saving people).

So, if martial arts itself is a skill, then what do you want to pursue through martial arts?

If martial arts itself is Tao, what kind of arts and techniques should be used to pursue it?

I think this is the essence of "martial arts".
