A journey through life from scratch

Chapter 169 The difference between true qi and qigong~
Immediately, a translucent saber aura flashing with an electric arc, with a roar like a tiger's roar and thunderous roar, revealed the majestic Shattering Blade and shot straight into the sky before dissipating slowly.And after this power was sent out, the solemn body felt a burst of emptiness. The power in his body was already condensed by him in this move. The essence of the thick soil under the feet is constantly pouring into the body to replenish itself.

When feeling the body's rapid recovery of energy, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It was too late to guide the thick earth essence to replenish himself when he was fully concentrated on this battle just now. It seems that he still needs to strengthen the guidance and control of such thick earth essence .

Majestic with similar self-awareness said loudly to Shikong who was not far away: "Master, I have already accepted your move, can you let us go?"

At this time, Shi Kong was looking at the saber energy that shot straight into the sky with a somewhat pensive expression. After hearing the solemn words, the golden light on his body gradually dissipated, and his whole body returned to that slightly emaciated old man. The shape of the old monk's body seems to be like air.

"Amitabha, since the promise is made, it should be so, and I hope the donor will return it as soon as possible after using it!" Shi Kong said to the Buddha and said calmly to the solemnity.

Listening to Shi Kong's vicissitudes of life solemnly, looking at Shi Kong with a childlike face and brows, Shi Kong at this time really looks like a virtuous and eminent monk, not at all like the mighty and indomitable glaring Vajra just now Majesty, this made Zhuang Yan sigh endlessly, and when he was about to thank Zhuang Yan, Shi Kong's voice came again, and the content surprised him while his expression was extremely alert.

Shi Kong said very calmly: "The qi used by the benefactor just now is true qi, right?"

After seeing the expression on Zhuang Yan's face, Shi Kong knew it well, and after seeing Zhuang Yan's guarded look, Shi Kong smiled gently and said: "Amitabha, please don't worry, the old man will not have anything. It's a strange idea, I just feel that the true energy that hasn't appeared for a long time will appear in this era, which makes people feel a little emotional."

Zhuang Yan looked at the calm Shi Kong with slight hesitation, thinking that monks don't tell lies, and with such an old monk's cultivation level, I'm afraid he wouldn't lie, even if he lied, he and Liuhua could escape no matter what Thinking of this, he asked solemnly: "I don't know why the master doesn't pay much attention to the practice of true qi. Qigong practice in this era is not more convenient than true qi. If you practice with true qi, you will climb to the top. Even higher."

Shi Kong was silent for a while and then slowly said: "If I met you 30 years ago, I'm afraid I would try my best to obtain the true energy practice method in you, but until I practiced Buddhism and Zen to a certain level, I learned After my own lifespan, after experiencing a period of self-reflection, I finally gained some experience. There are all kinds of ways in the world, and I only choose one of the many wonderful methods. Even the qigong practice methods developed in the modern era may not be inferior to the ancient practice techniques. , I practice Buddhism and meditation, and I already understand that if I want to understand the true meaning of the Buddha, I can only rely on myself. If I blindly rely on whatever is convenient and chase after it, I am afraid that my cultivation level will not be as good as it is now!"

Zhuang Yan couldn't help admiring him when he heard the words. For such a stick to his heart, he was still able to escape from the great terror of death after knowing his life expectancy. It can be seen that his state of mind is unimaginable.Then he asked: "I don't know what the master knows about the ancient true qi practice and modern qigong practice? Up to now, I only have a half-knowledge. Please explain it to the master!"

Shi Kong nodded with a smile and said: "Most of the ancient true qi practitioners guided the power of heaven and earth from the inside out for their own use. They could use the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth to bless themselves, and prolong their lifespan in order to prolong their search for Taoism and detachment. However, modern practitioners only cultivate their own bodies, strengthen their bodies with their own qigong, and constantly use this to break the body's limitations and surpass their own limits, but they cannot absorb the essence of life in the world to prolong their lives. , the lifespan can only be increased by breaking the limiter of the human body. According to the current division, it can be divided into three levels of heaven, earth and human, but in general, we now habitually adopt the levels established by the Hero Association, namely s, a, b, and c. The four levels correspond to the disaster level, that is, the four levels of dragon, ghost, tiger, and wolf. There is no comparison between the two paths. Qigong is mainly about exploring the mysteries of the body, while true qi is about exploring the inner and outer world. To put it bluntly, it will be easier for those who transcend the path to practice true qi, and in the end, the two are just different paths leading to the same goal, both for the sake of seeing the true meaning of the Buddha or breaking the void."

Zhuang Yan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. From this point of view, qigong is not worse than true qi, but because the risk of breaking the human body limiter is extremely high, modern qigong practitioners have an abnormal desire for true qi that can prolong their lifespan. I am afraid that this kind of thinking will only be produced by people with impure hearts in martial arts. People who firmly believe that they can break through everything will never have such thoughts, and the power of qigong is stronger than that of true qi. , if it wasn't for the miraculous cultivation techniques like this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to gain the slightest advantage in the battle against warriors whose strength was equal to his.

Zhuang Yan bowed slightly to Shi Kong to express his gratitude: "Thank you, master, for clarifying the confusion, then we will not bother you!"

Shi Kong uttered the Buddha's name and said: "The benefactor only needs to remember to return the weapon as soon as possible!"

He solemnly smiled and said: "Don't worry, master, I will return it as soon as I run out. Oh, by the way, master, I don't know what stage your cultivation is at now. I could clearly feel that you are useless in the battle just now." Unleash all your strength!" Said the last, Zhuang Yan hesitated for a moment or asked the question in his heart, for the battle Zhuang Yan was able to clearly sense that Shi Kong did not use his real strength, otherwise, at the moment when Zhuang Yan used Tai Xiao During his most powerful single-body attack, after Shi Kong resisted this move, his figure did not retreat in the slightest, and he was in a calm attitude from beginning to end. Seeing the zhenqi solemnly used, he was a little surprised.

Hearing the solemn inquiry, Shi Kong's mouth curled into a smile, and he put one hand into a palm in front of his chest, and he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Buddha said that you can't say it, you can't say it!"

After hearing Shi Kong's words, Zhuang Yan couldn't help laughing wryly. It seems that the strength of the old monk Shi Kong is absolutely unfathomable. Judging from the current contact, it must be at least the strength of an S-level hero, and then Zhuang Yan reconsidered. He asked earnestly: "Master Shikong, your body was glowing with gold just now, and your whole body seemed to be cast in gold and copper. Is it the Buddha's magical power of indestructible diamond?"

Shi Kong couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, then took a deep look at Zhuang Yan, nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed the indestructible magic of Vajra!"

Zhuang Yan couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. This kind of guess was vaguely guessed because of the sound of the collision between the Broken Knife and Shi Kong's hands just now. He didn't expect that the ancient martial arts in Shenzhou could be reproduced here. For Zhuang Yan now His strength can be said to be at the peak stage of A-level. He has not yet broken through to S-level. Thinking of the solemnity here, he can't help but be grateful: "Thank you, Master, for keeping it!"

Shi Kong shook his head slightly and said, "I can feel that the benefactor is not a bad person!"

Zhuang Yan knew that Shi Kong meant that the reason why he didn't use all his strength was because he didn't have any malicious thoughts on him, Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "If you offend me tonight, the boy will leave first!"

Seeing Shi Kong nodding his head to signal Zhuang Yan to take it easy, Zhuang Yan shouted to Liu Hua who was standing aside because he had stopped playing hide-and-seek with the middle-aged monk after the fight with Shi Kong: "Hey, Liu Hua, let's go!"

After Zhuang Yan finished speaking and waved his hands at Shi Kong again, the zhenqi in his body turned slightly, and he saw his legs slightly bent and then flicked, and the whole person instantly jumped into the air and jumped into the distance.

After hearing the solemn words, Liuhua floated lightly in the air and followed closely.
