Chapter 7: Martial Scriptures, Taoist Scriptures.
"It turns out that this group of foxes came to invite me to teach or secondary, the most important thing is to categorize the books. It is convenient to read in the future, I can't imagine that this time I came to West Mountain to guard my mother's grave and read for a clean slate, but I came across such a thing. That Yuan Fei's woman, actually took out the red gold coins in the palace, and the fox in the end what is the relationship? This thing is confusing, and I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse."
Categorizing a book collection was a big job.
Many rich and noble families had thousands of books in their collections, and they had to ask senior readers to categorize them.
Although Hong Yi had read a lot of fox and monster notes, most of them were about amorous fox women and talented men. But really encountered such a thing himself, but feel that these foxes are not just reading, cultivation so simple.
The idea of not being simple came directly from the red gold coins inside the Yuan Fei's palace.
But these are all clueless speculations, the most pressing thing at the moment is reading. So many books, really make rely on borrowing after copying books and then read again in Hong Yi's heart is too excited.
"Sir take a good rest, these days, if there is nothing, you can reside in the valley, all the tea and food supplies will be entertained by the old man." Tu Lao saw Hong Yi flipping through book after book, but he nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I will start categorizing and organizing the books tonight." Hong Yi said.
"That's good, Xiao Sang, Xiao Fei, Xiao Shu, go and make evening refreshments for mister."
"Kiki, Kiki." A few foxes' cheerful cries came out from outside.
"The old man is going to go meditate and recuperate from his homework, so if mister wants anything, just give a direct order. The children outside can't speak yet, but they understand the language."
After giving a word of advice, Elder Tu staggered out.
Hong Yi's attention was now focused on the books that filled the stone room, and as soon as Tu Lao, the fox, left, he immediately walked all over the room, his eyes roving over the books he was interested in.
"The books inside this stone room are really complete, especially the ones about martial arts and boxing, as well as Taoist books on cultivation."
After about half an hour, Hong Yi roughly walked around the entire stone room and realized that a large portion of the collection of books inside this stone room were martial arts boxing techniques, and the rest were Taoist books on cultivation, it was really vast.
"Huh? There are actually two great books, the Martial Scriptures, and the Taoist Scriptures, these two great books, I have desired them for a long time, and have wanted to read them for a long time, but I have not been able to find them, nor have I been able to borrow them."
Hong Yi was flipping through the pages, when all of a sudden, he saw the prominent position of the bookshelf in the center, where two great books were placed, one was the Martial Scripture and the other was the Taoist Scripture.
The two books are a large part, each part has a thick dozens of books.
After Hong Yi saw it, he pounced on it as if it was a treasure. For these two big books, he wanted to see for a long time.
These two books were compiled at the time of the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty.
The Martial Scripture was a book that collected martial arts from all over the world.
The Taoist scripture is a book of cultivation that collects Taoist books from all over the world.
Hong Yi has read the notes of many readers, once described in detail the situation when these two books were compiled: the Da Qian Dynasty to collect the world's books, the whole country's library are piled up, at the same time compiling thousands of people, which has a major martial arts celebrities, Taoism Taishang Dao, Zheng Yi Dao, Fong Xian Dao, Buddhism, some of the head of the characters involved.
Unfortunately, these two books in the compilation, not even after a few years, the Qian dynasty immediately banned the engraving and printing, at the same time the book has been printed from the folk to collect up again, burned in one fell swoop, all the hidden books, was found, there are felonies.
Later, the great qian dynasty and under the slogan of "positive heart, abandon the evil doctrine", many times to collect the books of the folk temple, repair the canonical books. But there is no longer repair "martial arts scripture", "Taoist scripture" and other books, and all are benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and law, righteousness and loyalty and other scriptures.
And folk those collected Taoist books, martial arts boxing books, all burned empty.
Moreover, the Qian dynasty and then ordered, strictly prohibit the private practice of folk boxing stick, strict control of the world's temples and Taoist temples. Since to twenty years ago, the army destroyed the big Zen Temple, the Qian Dynasty on the control of civil force reached a heyday.
However, although the Daqian Dynasty prohibited the private practice of boxing, but encouraged the royal nobles, the clan to practice martial arts, riding and archery. At the same time in the army opened the "Lecture Hall".
"Lecture Hall" in the martial arts have a strict hierarchical division, more rigorous than the imperial examinations. It is a way for martial arts practitioners to be promoted.
This series of tactics, Hong Yi has in some reading notes slightly read, but about the army in the "Lecture Hall" specific things, he is not clear.
"Suppressing the military officials with the scholarly officials, but secretly cultivating the military officials to preserve the national force, collecting books from all over the world, revising the canonical books, controlling the force in their own hands, forbidding the civil force, and developing the official force, this kind of tactics is really overturning the clouds and raining down the rain."
Hong Yi looked at the two books, his heart was filled with emotion.
These two books are not so easy to see, the Daqian Dynasty has a law, copying, engraving martial arts scriptures, Taoist scriptures, the light is the whole family confiscated, banishment of three thousand miles, the heavy is to lose his head.
Hong Yi on these two books are long desired, but with his identity, it is impossible to see.
If he collected these two books, in the middle of the marquis house, he would immediately be caught by Lady Zhao, and that would be troublesome.
"A scholar can't have his hands tied. Since there are martial arts scriptures here, I have to read them properly and find one or two fist techniques to cultivate my body."
With this in mind, Hong Yi flipped through the Martial Scripture.
The opening chapter of the Martial Scripture said: the ultimate of martial arts is to strengthen the physical body and transcend life and death, never to kill and show off. The world is like the bitter sea, the flesh is like a raft to cross the sea. If the physical body is strong, it can carry people straight to the other side of the sea of bitterness.
"Hm? Martial arts is to transcend life and death, then what are immortal arts for?"
Hong Yi thought in his heart and opened the Taoist scripture again.
Taoist scripture opening and said: the world is like the sea of bitterness, the human body is like a raft to cross the sea, but the sea of bitterness is boundless, the raft will eventually decay, the only soul is strong, can give up the boat and raft, with their own strength, swim to the other shore of the sea of bitterness.
"So it's like this, two different kinds of cultivation reasoning. Yet both are reasonable."
Hong Yi was a reader, so naturally he could easily understand what the words of the book meant.
After reading the beginning of the Martial Arts and Taoist Scriptures, he finally had a clear understanding of the two cultivation methods of Martial Arts, and Immortal Arts.
The ultimate goal of both was to transcend life and death.
The world was an ocean.
When a person lives in the world, the physical body is like a ship crossing the sea, and the soul thoughts are the people inside the ship.
Martial arts are about cultivating the physical body, which is strong enough to carry people safely across the sea of suffering.
The immortal art is about the sea of bitterness, the ship's body will eventually decay, it is better to directly cultivate the soul, as if to make people proficient in water, so that even if the ship is destroyed, people will not drown.
Hong Yi flipped down again to compare the two, and found that the cultivation of martial arts is divided into seven levels: flesh training, tendon training, membrane training, bone training, organ training, marrow training, and blood replacement.
Inside the martial arts scriptures, these seven levels are described in detail.
Meat training: for the foundation of martial arts, the movement of the body will be the whole body of the meat training firm and full, responsive, able to defeat two or three people surrounded by attack. Inside the army of the Daqian Dynasty, the "Lecture Hall of Martial Arts" also called this level "Wusheng".
Tendon training: the whole body tendon stretching strong, fierce outbreak of power, physical agility, can defeat six or seven people, such a person in the army called "martial arts apprentice".
Membrane: the whole body membrane is strong, resistant to blows, once the force, the human skin as tough as cowhide, can be surrounded by more than a dozen people can still be defeated, so called "warrior".
Bone training: the bones of the whole body are hard, strong penetrating force, more agile physical body, stronger resistance to blows, and can defeat dozens of people. Such a person is called a "martial artist".
Visceral training: Through breathing and exhaling, the internal organs become strong, the breathing is continuous and far-reaching, the physical strength is long, and the ability to defeat almost a hundred people. Walking as fast as a galloping horse and jumping as agile as a bird, they are called "Innate Martial Artists".
Marrow: The cultivation of boxing and martial arts has penetrated into the marrow of the bones. Such a person is called a Grand Master.
Blood Changing: After the bone marrow is strong, the blood of the whole body is refreshed through cultivation, so-called as practicing the marrow as frost, practicing the blood as mercury plasma. The bones are transformed, the hair is cut down and the marrow is cleansed. Such a person can be able to defeat hundreds of people. For the saints in martial arts.
"Martial Student, Martial Apprentice, Samurai, Martial Master, Innate, Grand Master, Martial Saint! What a detailed division, I wonder if it's the same as the division of the imperial examinations, Sheng Sheng Xiu Cai, Jiu Ren, Jin Shi? The Great Qian Dynasty has made such a great effort to establish the country with martial arts. But the readers do not know. Even a few enemies are estimated. It seems to have been strictly practiced inside the army. But even if it's a Saint in the Martial Arts, it seems like it still can't transcend life and death, there seems to be a feeling of not being finished." Hong Yi couldn't get enough of watching. At the same time an inexplicable fear arose in his heart.
It was the fear that arose from the fact that the Great Qian Dynasty's control of human force had reached a precise level.
Such a powerful force control system.
A promotion path that is even tighter than the imperial examinations.
Hong Yi, however, knew that the ten enemies and one hundred enemies in there were not ordinary people, but trained soldiers. After reading the beginning of the Martial Scripture, Hong Yi finally understood how strict the Da Qian Dynasty was in controlling the force and how much effort it took!
"Hmm?" As Hong Yi read on, he suddenly realized that there were notes in the interleaved lines of the body font of the Martial Scripture. It was obviously added by the person reading the book himself.
"Practicing martial arts do not know the hole, after all, can not become a saint in the flesh, also can not understand the mystery of the flesh, one of the body points, such as the stars in the sky, the gods of heaven and earth reside in them, if someone can Mingkou cultivation to the stars in the sky echo, then raise their hands and throw their feet, the power is infinite, capturing the dragon and throwing elephants, such as the Taoist yang god of the integration of the god of the transcendent, to achieve the human immortal realm. Zen Master Yin Yue in the mid-autumn of the 30th year of the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty Note."
Apparently, this passage was apparently annotated by a monk named Zen Master Yin Yue of the Great Zen Temple.
The meaning of this paragraph of text is also not profound, the meaning is that the human physical body, in addition to flesh, tendons, membranes, bones, internal organs, marrow, blood, there are also many, many acupuncture points, such as the stars in the sky, in which the gods reside, and after practicing these acupuncture points, one can raise his hands and throw his feet with infinite power, and the physical body of a true immortal is a Human Immortal!
"Human Immortal!"
"The highest level of martial arts is Human Immortal?"
Hong Yi looked at this paragraph of notes and thought in his heart, "My father, Marquis Wu Wen, used to drive a nine-stone powerful continuous shooting when he was young, I wonder what kind of realm it is?"
"It seems that I am going to practice martial arts. Being a scholar with no hands is not a good situation, although the civil officials of our Daqian Dynasty dominate the dynasty, we still have to rely on our war achievements to truly be knighted. If I learn martial arts, pass the entrance examination, and then go to the army inside, then the status is high, if the war success, sealed a title, then my mother's name, not only Mrs., but Fengjun ...... status is far higher than Mrs. Zhao ...... "
After Hong Yi read the beginning of the martial arts scripture, he thought about practicing martial arts again.
In fact, Hong Yi is not not want to practice martial arts, but really do not have that condition, also can not afford to hire a martial arts teacher, also do not have the money to buy a bow and horse to practice riding and shooting.
Fortunately, now the imperial examination, has canceled the riding and shooting, or else, he will do his best in his life, there is no opportunity to get ahead.
However, he did know that if he practiced martial arts, passed the entrance examination, both martial arts and literature, after entering the military system of the Daqian Dynasty, the status will be very high, and if he made a war achievement, he will be awarded a title, and if he is lucky, his mother's name will be sealed by the imperial court as a "king".
The status of a "King" was much higher than that of a "Lady". It was the highest honor bestowed by the imperial court on a powerful family.
In the Wu Wen Waiting House, only the deceased Elder Taijun Hong, Hong Xuan Ji's mother, was a "Ci An Jun".
"One must fight for the highest title for one's mother. But martial arts cultivation, is not an overnight thing, and is not in a hurry, first look at the Immortal Art Divine Soul cultivation. I wonder what the difference is?"
Hong Yi flipped through the Dao Scripture again.
Sure enough, and that Tu Lao's fox said the same thing, the cultivation inside the Taoist scripture, but it is divided into ten major levels, for the fixation of the spirit, out of the shell, the night tour, the day tour, the repulsion of the object, the manifestation of the form, the possession, the seizure of the body, the thunderbolt, and the yang god.
