After finishing reading this pirated copy of "True Source Sword Finger Technique", Shi Feizhe also read the "Record of the Divine Shadow of the Nether Spring" that he had copied during the day. This secret book was simpler than "True Source Sword Finger Technique".
The "Blood and Qi Barrier" is the first barrier in martial arts. Through breathing techniques, exercise methods combined with the consumption of medicines and food, one can increase physical fitness and exercise the five internal organs!
The so-called "blood and qi" refers to the state in which one's muscles, bones, skin, and flesh are trained to a certain degree, to the point where one can easily feel the blood flowing through the body, feeling as if one has "qi." At this stage, one can move qi and blood, control muscles, and sense the internal organs, thus achieving a state of mastery.
As long as most people are not born with muscle or bone problems or defects, as long as they persevere and have the financial resources, they will be able to achieve it one day.
The "Record of the Divine Shadow of the Deep Spring" records four sets of training methods, titled "Rewarding Good Fists, Punishing Bad Kicks, Yin Lu Postures, and Cha Cha Tang," used to strengthen muscles, bones, and skin. It's important to note that these four sets of boxing weren't intended for combat, but rather simple training methods similar to those used in radio gymnastics.
As for the fighting style, it has its own matching "Senluo Palm"!
It's called a palm technique, but when a knife is in hand, it becomes a Senluo Knife. When a sword is in hand, it becomes a Senluo Sword! Palm techniques, not limited to fists, palms, or other weapons, are incredibly flexible. This completely overturned Shi Feizhe's impression that palm masters only use their palms, while sword masters' combat effectiveness decreases when they switch weapons.
The secret book contains very detailed records. As long as you can understand it, you can practice it step by step.
The only problem was that half of the secret manual was based on guesswork, and the Blood Qi Gate required a large amount of medicinal herbs and food. With Shi Feizhe's current financial resources, he only had two or three taels of silver on him. In such a high-cost tourist area, that would probably only be enough for a month, right?
He couldn't bear to eat dinner at night. In his previous life, he didn't eat dinner to control his weight. In this life, he didn't eat dinner because he couldn't bear to eat!
If he could have the living conditions of his previous life, it would be very easy to break through the blood and qi barrier!
What a pity...
Thinking about this, Shi Feizhe continued to study the "spiritual barrier".
The "spirit" in "spiritual barrier" is not the "mental spirit" of Shi Feizhe's previous life, but is divided into "essence" and "spirit".
"Essence is the foundation of life." Essence is the vital energy and the basis of life, not something like semen. When cultivating blood and qi, it's important to cultivate essence, strengthening and consolidating it, ensuring that the essence is abundant.
The concept of "God" is rather mysterious. Externally, God is known as the Celestial God, the creator and ruler of all things in heaven and earth. For humans, God also governs their own thoughts and actions. However, ordinary people are overwhelmed by distracting thoughts and are unable to perceive "God." Therefore, they need to visualize the gods, using the false to cultivate the true, allowing their "God" to manifest.
According to the "Record of the Divine Shadow of the Deep Spring", one should visualize the Ten Yama Kings, starting from the first, King Qin Guang, to the tenth, King Lun Zhuan. When one can visualize all Ten Yama Kings at the same time, then one has successfully practiced the "divine" technique.
At that time, blood, energy and spirit were united into one, and when the truth was seen, true energy was formed!
How do the four merge into one? How do they merge? What if they can't merge? This section of "The Record of the Divine Shadow of the Nether Spring" summarizes it in one stroke, leaving Shi Feizhe truly bewildered.
He had been guessing to begin with, and now it was still vague, making Shi Feizhe scratch his head!
I can’t practice the Qi and Blood barrier method now, so why not try the visualization method for the spiritual barrier?
The visualization method is quite simple. You just need to meditate quietly and outline the desired deity in your mind.
Give it a try; there's no harm in being wrong.
As soon as he thought about it, Shi Feizhe crossed his legs, emptied his mind, and entered a meditative state.
As a result... I fell asleep while being quiet.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already daybreak! The landlord had already started heating up the soup and cooking.
Shi Feizhe then sighed that meditation also requires practice!
The reason for choosing this family is that they can provide hot soup (boiled water) and a whole grain meal every morning.
This family is an elderly couple in their fifties or sixties. When I rented the house, I heard them say that they had a son who went out to make a living and had not returned for several years!
Shi Feizhe washed his face and hair with hot water, ate a bowl of whole-grain porridge, and two whole-grain cakes. He had originally planned to do his sword-stack exercises, but then, remembering the two secret manuals he'd obtained the previous night, he skipped the exercises and headed out the door.
Today, he would first look for a copy of the True Source Sword Finger Technique, and then go to Sancai Manor to discuss the secret manual, The Record of the Nether Spring Divine Shadow. Yesterday, when he was copying The Record of the Nether Spring Divine Shadow, he saw many people copying it. They probably had a lot of questions, didn't they?
"True Source Sword Finger Technique" is indeed a common product. Shi Feizhe found a copy after asking two bookstores.
Under the curious gaze of the book boy in the study, Shi Feizhe flipped open the book "True Source Sword Finger Technique" and simply read a few pages before returning it to the book boy. He then left, leaving the book boy puzzled.
The book boy looked at the book "True Source Sword Finger Technique". To be honest, he had practiced it secretly. Who hasn't had dreams?
The result is just a waste of time!
Shi Feizhe went to the next bookstore and opened the book "True Source Sword Finger Technique". Fortunately, it was this strange martial arts secret book, otherwise he might not be allowed to read it.
"Hey, hey, hey, do you want it or not? If not, then don't look around!" This bookstore doesn't have a book boy, and the owner is a mean person. He couldn't help but say when he saw Shi Feizhe flipping through this rubbish book.
"No, no!" Shi Feizhe threw the book to the bookstore owner and continued to move to the next study.
"Xiaozi!" The bookstore owner looked at Shi Feizhe's back and couldn't help cursing in his hometown dialect.
Shi Feizhe didn't care about the boss at all. He went to every study in Sancai Town and read all the books of "True Source Sword Finger Technique" in the town. Finally, he spent four cents to buy another copy.
He returned to the rental house in a daze and laid out the three copies of "True Source Sword Finger Technique" in a row.
The first one was covered in blood, the second one I bought yesterday, and the third one I bought today.
Each of these three books is different!
There are two versions of "True Origin Sword Finger Technique" in Sancai Town. One is like the second copy he bought yesterday. Although there are occasional layout errors, the content is basically the same. The other version is the one he bought today.
This edition is very different from the bloody one, and also very different from the one I bought yesterday.
Three books with the same name "True Source Sword Finger Technique", but the contents are different!
Which one of these is correct?
Shi Feizhe's scalp was tingling and he cursed in his heart!
No wonder the hanged man said that practicing martial arts will drive you crazy. Such a widely circulated rubbish book has several versions, let alone other books?
Who knows, there may be other versions of "True Source Sword Finger Technique" in the world!
How to prove that these three versions of "True Source Sword Finger Technique" are correct?
There is only one way!
That is to practice the other two versions as well!
Practicing martial arts is crazy!
