Chapter 129 Heart and Mind?
"Greetings, Master Chen!" Although Yao San is already middle-aged, he obeys the instructions of this tough old man very much, and it is obvious that he respects his teacher very much.
What's more, after seeing with his own eyes that Chen Jue only needed three moves to defeat his master with just one move, plus his previous guidance, Yao San naturally developed respect for Chen Jue.
When it comes to boxing and martial arts, it doesn’t matter how old you are or how senior you are that someone can call you “Master”.
The one who achieves success comes first. This is an eternal principle in any field.
Chen Jue is better than them. He can make them bow down to him with just a show of his skills. They imitate him and learn from him, so naturally they call him Master Chen.
"Dark power requires the mind to be vigorous?"
"Isn't it the heart that is beating?" Chen Jue was listening to what old man Lin said, and suddenly some doubts arose in his heart.
His hidden power was cultivated under the Chencun Reservoir. At that time, he just relied on his proficiency in the panel and realized the changes in the undercurrents of the water, and naturally comprehended the skill of the hidden power needle.
First, with the help of the Eight Immortals Posture, the hidden power was trained in the hands and feet. Then, with the help of Tai Chi, it was upgraded to level 4 and the hidden power was trained throughout the body.
In Chen Jue's understanding, dark power is actually the same as closing the pores with obvious power. It is just a special muscle power technique. How can it involve the emergence of "mind"?
Although the heart does beat violently when the dark energy is released, that is just the heart suddenly increasing its blood supply and blood transfusion capacity, allowing the body to burst out with more powerful power. In other words, it speeds up the circulation of Qi and blood and stimulates the dark energy to burst out.
One mind, one heart, but the two are not on the same channel of understanding at all!
In fact, what Chen Jue didn't know was that his dark power seemed to be cultivated by himself underwater, but in fact, when he broke through to perfection, the attribute panel gave him a strange muscle memory similar to an epiphany, which helped him to unleash his dark power.
It was equivalent to giving a set of formulas to solve the problem, rather than teaching Chen Jue how to think and solve the problem on his own.
One copied the homework and added some of his own understanding, while the other completed the homework based on his own understanding. Although it seems that both of them completed the homework and seemed to reach the same destination, the deeper meanings were completely different!
…
At this time, Yao San finished his greeting and said to Lin Yuanchao, "Master, you are an experienced person, and you know how difficult it is to practice the dark energy. I have practiced with you for so many years, but I still can't understand what you mean by the mind burst. Even if Master Chen is here to guide me, I am afraid that with my dull qualifications, I still can't understand what you mean!"
After listening to his apprentice's words, Lin Yuanchao sighed with some regret: "Alas! San'er, what you said does make sense. Times have changed now. Without actual combat experience, it is difficult to comprehend the skills of the mind."
"In the past, I followed my companions around and participated in various martial arts fights. I realized the hidden power through repeated actual combat."
"At that time, I was surrounded by a group of 18 or 19-year-old green hands who had just started practicing martial arts. They didn't care about the consequences and would just stab anyone with a fork or beat up any expert they saw. This was the understanding of the mindset that I gained through fighting time and time again! Countless of my comrades were injured or disabled, and many even died in the fights."
"Since the era more than a hundred years ago, boxing and martial arts have been called national arts by the old predecessors, and they were intended to be promoted to strengthen the country and the race! But now that the country is strong, the people are strong, and life has become more stable, this kind of boxing and martial arts will naturally gradually fade away from the stage of history, and fewer and fewer people are learning it."
"San'er, you have a good physique, but your talent is a little dull. Even if you find your own feelings one day and learn to be passionate, it is useless in today's society. It is better to do more business as soon as possible, earn some money, and support more poor students and lonely elderly people, so as to make more contributions to society."
Probably because he was defeated by Chen Jue in one move, the old man Lin Yuanchao started to talk more, his emotions fluctuated, and there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
It was a fanatical era with red flags flying. It was an era of stubbornness and persistence that only people of their age had experienced firsthand, and only they could personally understand the emotion of that era.
But when martial arts were passed down to Yao San, they began to change, mixed with the tactfulness of a businessman. The meaning of boxing was no longer simple, and he was unable to comprehend the hidden power of the mind.
And Chen Jue’s situation is even more special!
He was born in a more peaceful era, and although his growth experience was a bit bumpy, he had only a short time to practice martial arts, and in the beginning he basically relied on the panel to add points to make breakthroughs again and again.
Although he had doubts about the panel during this period, since he began to practice martial arts and read a lot of books, Chen Jue believed that the more he practiced, the more he felt he understood boxing and alchemy.
But now, after listening to the conversation between Master Lin Yuanchao and his disciple, Chen Jue felt as if his mind suddenly woke up. He felt that although he had now reached the realm of a saint with a completely transformed body .
But the doubts in his heart became more and more serious!
Then, with the ignorant sense of heaven and man after forming the elixir, he tried to sense the temperament and spirit of the two contemporary successors of the Three Emperors Cannon Chui beside him.
Chen Jue found that the boxing intention emanating from Lin Yuanchao was as passionate and forward-looking as his temperament and life experience. However, Yao San was smooth and tactful, with a little more scheming and retreat.
And what about Chen Jue?
Although he got the heroic and tragic songs of the coastal fishermen and the boxing spirit of defeating evil with good from the Eight Immortals Pillar, that was the boxing spirit passed down by the predecessors, not the boxing spirit that Chen Jue understood himself!
Perhaps because he saw that Chen Jue had not spoken for a long time, Lin Yuanchao turned around and glanced at Chen Jue after reminiscing about the past. Just this one glance made the tough old man frown: "Master Chen... why can't I feel your emotion from you? Could it be that you have cultivated the dark power with the help of the Taoist inner alchemy technique?"
"Yes! I have indeed practiced inner alchemy, and have already formed a golden elixir!" Chen Jue nodded and smiled bitterly. After being awakened just now, he has already discovered his problem.
That means having a physical body but not having one’s own spirit and will!
Whether it is the pure innocence brought by the Boy's Kung Fu, the righteousness of the Eight Immortals Posture, the Tiger Form Spiritual Communication, the Dragon Form Bone Search, or the previous dragon and tiger meeting, they are all the martial arts and intentions of the predecessors.
No matter how many martial arts you practice, if you don't understand the spirit of boxing, you will become the "corpse guard" mentioned in the boxing classics . You guard the martial arts skills but are like a living corpse, without your own "life".
Chen Jue thought he had broken the limits of the human body with the help of the panel, but when he turned around, he found that he was the stupidest one.
"What? Jindan Zhenren!"
"At your age, you can actually practice alchemy to such a level? No wonder... No wonder... Then it makes sense! No wonder your moves just now were so chaotic! Although your fighting style is exquisite, you don't have your own ideas! They are all the ideas of your predecessors!" Lin Yuanchao stared at Chen Jue for a long time, his eyes full of envy and sadness.
What is enviable is that Chen Jue has formed a golden elixir through the internal alchemy technique, which allows him to maintain the abundant physical strength that martial artists dream of, make his body healthier, prolong his life, and even when he is in his seventies or eighties, he can still fight with all his strength.
It is sad that such a brilliant young man like Chen Jue actually put all his talent on those illusory alchemy methods, and did not innovate in his boxing to realize his own emotions.
