Chapter 8 Crane Form
A lamp is as dim as a bean.
In the abode specially provided for the masters of Wuhutang.
Fang Xian's eyes swept across casually.
The room was very spacious. The bed and bookcase were made of a kind of "fragrant wood" that exuded a special fragrance. There were several ink-splashed landscape paintings hung on the walls, and there were antiques in the corners. The deputy hall master Xiao Zha had personally hosted a banquet for the guests, with exquisite dishes, wine and meat, and maids serving them. He hinted that he could be summoned at will if he felt lonely at night, and the intention to win him over was very obvious.
"The aura of wealth and nobility is overwhelming..."
Fang Xian was not moved, but sighed secretly in his heart.
As expected, if you don’t break the ceiling, you won’t know the ecology of another class.
I’m afraid the villagers in Daqingshan couldn’t even imagine this kind of life in their dreams.
"Compared to these, I value these more..."
There were several things neatly placed on the table.
One is the exquisite clothing and identity badges representing the guardians of Wuhu Hall.
One was fifty taels of silver as an entry reward, five taels per ingot, a total of ten ingots, shining silver under the light.
Finally, there are two secret books, which are also what Fang Xian values most.
"Tiger and crane forms?"
After joining the Five Forms Sect, one can naturally practice the Five Forms Boxing. It is even rumored that those who have made great contributions may not be unqualified to receive the inner strength and "true seed". This is why many idle warriors choose to join the sect.
But this path is very difficult. After all, I am just a latecomer and not a direct descendant of the sect.
Fang Xian does not value the "true seed", he only cares about the qualification to learn the internal skills.
Of course, this qualification is not obtained for free. It must be exchanged for meritorious service to the sect.
Today, these two martial arts secret books are given as rewards for beginners. There will be no such good thing in the future.
Even if one wants to learn all five forms of boxing, it requires considerable achievements, not to mention the internal strength and mental skills.
"As for the 'real' qualification? It's even harder than climbing to the sky. It should be like a carrot in front of a donkey ..."
Fang Xian first opened the secret book of Tiger Form Fist and found that it was in the same vein as the Fierce Tiger Fist he had learned. He even went into the mountains alone, observed the tigers, and slightly modified the Fierce Tiger Fist, which was even better than this one.
He then opened the secret manual of Crane Form Fist.
The corners of this secret book are yellowed and a little damaged. I don't know how many times it has been read.
"The Five Forms School is based on the five styles of boxing: tiger, crane, dragon, snake, and monkey. It takes the ferocity of a tiger roaring in the mountains, the lightness of a white crane flapping its wings, the agility of a dragon riding the mist, the flexibility of a snake wrapping around a hundred bodies, and the posture of an old ape climbing a tree... It can be said to be the culmination of external kung fu. But in fact, you can also achieve acquired great success by specializing in one style, and you can just dabble in the other styles and apply them by analogy."
Fang Xian flipped through a few pages and his eyes lit up when he saw the standing practice of Crane Form Fist.
To practice boxing, you need to practice strength, and to practice strength, you need to stand still!
Zhuanggong is the foundation of external martial arts.
He tried to steal the Tiger Fist, but he couldn't grasp the essence of the standing practice, so he had to go deep into the mountains and forests to continue learning from tigers.
And now, the real 'White Crane Post' was right in front of him.
"White Crane Pile!"
Fang Xian took a deep breath, stood on one leg, and his hands spread like white cranes' wings.
The pile method is not dead, but alive.
You can't just stand there dead, you have to stand there alive!
"The mind moves but the body does not; the spirit moves but the heart does not! It really is true that... you look like a human being, but if you don't know the tricks, it's useless to learn anything!"
Half an hour later, Fang Xian slowly finished his work and opened his [Dongxuan Eye]. Several lines of text appeared before him:
…
[Talent: Mysterious Eye]
【Tiger Fist: Level 6】
【Crane Form Fist: Not Yet Started】
…
"This stupid cheat code doesn't even have any extra points. Bad review..."
As soon as Fang Xian saw his attribute panel, he felt like bursting into tears.
Not only is it rigid, but it also only has the ability to display. I have tried various methods some time ago, such as secretly killing, touching various objects and so on, but I didn't see it produce any experience points or potential points.
It seems that apart from recording, it has no other function.
He had practiced these six levels of the Tiger Fist with great effort.
"Fortunately, the foundation has been laid, so the follow-up will be simple. With a little effort, I can reach the peak of the acquired realm, achieve great strength, and then impact the true qi!"
Fang Xian set a small goal for himself .
As for the 'true seed' initiation and the like, he didn't even consider it.
As he was determined to stand at the top of the world, he disdained to do anything that would force things to happen.
"Also... that palace protector seemed to hate me today. Why don't we find an opportunity to wipe out the root of the problem..."
Fang Xian blew out the lights and sat cross-legged on the bed, with a dim light in his eyes.
When he came into this world, he swore to himself that he would never accept the fate of his previous life!
…
The next day, early morning.
Fang Xian put his hands behind his back and walked to the training ground.
"Dragon form, snake form, monkey form... Not bad, not bad. If I do it a few more times, I can record all the moves. But I still need to explore or refine the standing practice..."
This time, more moves were observed by the [Eye of Dongxuan].
"In fact, practicing the Tiger Form Fist to the highest level is also the peak of the acquired realm... Even if you have practiced five types of boxing, you still have to look at the highest level of attainment, and the same is true when you use it against the enemy... However, learning from others and drawing inferences from a hundred schools of thought is very useful for creating your own martial arts."
Fang Xian stroked his forehead.
He had a hunch that his Tiger Fist was not perfect enough.
If one wants to use this external kung fu to enter the internal martial arts and generate true qi, there is hope, but it is definitely very slim.
"Protector Fang, how was your rest last night?"
Not long after, Xiao Zha came up with a smile on his face.
"Very good, when shall we go to see the Sect Master?"
Fang Xian asked.
"The Sect Master is in seclusion and cannot see guests for the time being... But is Guardian Fang familiar with this county town?" Xiao Zha asked, "Would you like me to take you on a tour?"
"oh?"
Fang Xian raised his eyebrows and curled his lips: "That's great!"
Although he could learn martial arts by joining a sect, he would also be ordered around to do things, and he knew this very well.
Especially Wuhu Hall, which recruits masters with various combat capabilities. They want people who do not need to be trained and can be pulled out to fight!
'Once you enter the arena, you have no choice...'
Fang Xian sighed inwardly and followed Xiao Zha.
He has his own ideals. The Wuxing Sect paid for his martial arts skills and let him take charge of a region. He can protect the caravan, but if he was asked to kill people for no apparent reason, he would not let them do it.
Practice your mind before practicing boxing!
Only when you have made up your mind can you punch without regrets!
