Practicing martial arts is a more complicated process, not just cramping and kicking, practicing strength or playing various tricks as ordinary people think. Many times, external and internal efforts are needed to make progress together. Without internal power as the basis, the play of external power is still very limited. No, Guo Jing was troubled by this problem when he was practicing the martial arts taught by the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. Fortunately, there was also Ma Yu of Zhongnan Mountain to help him.
01 Guo Jing's martial arts advances
Ma Yu came to the desert from the Zhongnan Mountains in the Central Plains, for what? Of course, it is to teach Guo Jing to learn internal skills, which is also to help the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan educate the apprentices, so that they do not lose to Qiu Zhiji.
After Ma Yu's investigation, he found the opportunity for the black eagle to fight the white eagle, so that the white eagle couple both died, and performed a light decision to save the squad of white eagles who were almost killed. This greatly impressed Guo Jing, so he asked Ma Yu to give him guidance on the bright way to practice martial arts. And just like that, they made the connection. After further investigation, Ma Yu began to teach him advanced internal skills on the top of the cliff.
So late to go, Guo Jing meditated at the top of the cliff at night to practice qi. Strange to say, the Daoist did not teach him a hand and a half foot martial art, but when he practiced martial arts during the day, he gradually became light and strong. Half a year later, where the original strength could not be reached, now the next stretch of the hand naturally used the ingenuity; the original desperate and too late to do the trick, suddenly done fast and accurate. The six monsters of Jiangnan only said that he had grown up, and after practicing diligently, he finally suddenly opened his mind and was very happy in his heart.
When he went up the cliff every night, the Daoist would often stand shoulder to shoulder with him and show him how to make a fortune. Until he could no longer go up, the Dao climbed up to the top of the cliff and used a long rope to hang him up. As time passed, he not only got faster and faster, but also climbed higher and higher, and the place that was originally difficult to climb could jump up later, only in the most difficult prescription by the person who used the rope to hang.
After another year, it has only been a few months since the period of competition, and the topic of discussion between the six monsters in Jiangnan for days and days cannot be separated from this Jiaxing competition, which is bound to sensationalize the world's heroes. Seeing Guo Jing's great progress in martial arts, the six monsters all felt that victory was extremely certain, and it was even more joyful to think that they could return to their hometown in Jiangnan.
It can be seen from the completely different performances before and after this that After practicing internal skills, Guo Jing's efficiency in practicing external skills has also greatly improved. This made his masters feel so happy that they didn't know it, and they thought that practice made perfect, and the stupid boy suddenly opened up.
Guo Jing not only improved the efficiency of practicing martial arts and the ability to climb mountain cliffs, but he was also able to subdue the fierce horses. In the following article, we will also talk about this matter, which is roughly a sweat and blood BMW (called a little red horse in the book), which was subdued by Guo Jing after the progress of internal strength and became his best means of transportation. If there is no internal strength as a support, let alone subdue the little red horse, it is impossible to catch up.
Many facts show that internal gong helped Guo Jing to make great progress in martial arts. This must be asked, why?
02 Why Guo Jing's martial arts have advanced
The ingenuity that could not be used before is now there; the tricks that were too late to be done are now done quickly and accurately. It can be said that Guo Jing's martial arts practice has improved qualitatively compared with the original.
Why did it have the ingenuity that could not be used before? What is Qiaojin? It is to use the sliding inertia of the hand bones and tendons to make the transition between various martial arts moves very natural, so that the martial arts can be performed more freely, so that the action is not only labor-saving, but also more beautiful, which will make the practitioner have more sense of softness.
In order to get cleverness, it is important to have a breath of fullness. Because the breath is similar to the nerve transmission channel, after it is opened, the breath is filled, and the whole body can be integrated into a flexible system. After the whole body is flexible, it can show flexibility and ingenuity in addition to the straight strength.
As the novel says, Guo Jing's moves that were too late to do are now fast and accurate. Especially in the process of armed confrontation, it is necessary to make a rapid response and anticipate the enemy first, otherwise it is easy to be passively beaten or even lose your life.
Basically all martial arts moves need to have strength and speed at the same time, only in this way can they exert the connotation of martial arts, interpret the spirit of martial arts, and play its due effect. This requires that the practitioner can concentrate his strength and react quickly in a very short period of time.
But how do you focus your efforts and react quickly? This requires the inner breath to be filled. The body is full of breath, and if needed, it can be quickly transferred nearby without having to be extracted from other places. In this way, it is not only easy to transfer more qi and blood nearby, but also can be quickly transferred. In terms of martial arts, it is concentrated and responsive.
Because of practicing the Quanzhen Sect's advanced internal gong Jin Yan Gong, the breath inside Guo Jing's body grew rapidly and filled his whole body. In this way, his whole body is flexible and integrated, and the nerves can be nearby to transfer more qi and blood, so his practice of martial arts will appear to be able to make a lot of ingenuity, and the moves that were too late to do can also be done quickly.
It can be seen from this that among the martial arts that Guo Jing originally practiced, there were still great defects, that is, it lacked the foundation and nourishment of internal skills. This made it difficult for his martial arts to exert much effect. It can be said that the inability to do internal martial arts is a major flaw within Guo Jing's martial arts system. And Ma Yu came to the desert thousands of miles away to help Guo Jing fill this defect.
It turned out that after Ma Yu learned about the six monsters in Jiangnan, he had a good life in his heart, and he also learned from Yin Zhiping's mouth that Guo Jing did not have the foundation of internal strength. He was the head of the whole town, and he was well aware that the Taoists suppressed themselves and obeyed the people's supreme reason, and Ya bu did not want his disciple Qiu to take the opportunity to overwhelm the six monsters of Jiangnan in this matter. However, several times he advised Qiu to admit defeat, but he said that he would not agree to anything, so he came to the desert and painstakingly tried to secretly complete Guo Jing. Otherwise, where would he have such a clever way, he would just meet Guo Jing in the middle of the desert grassland? And spend two years for him for no reason?
This is the real reason why Guo Jing's martial arts have been able to make great progress. The key is also in the internal strength. Promoting each other with internal and external skills is a necessary way to achieve some achievements in martial arts training, and both are indispensable. If there is a lack of external strength, there is a lack of external attack power, and it is difficult to win victory in the battle against the enemy.
However, if there is only external power and no internal power, the effectiveness of external power will be greatly reduced, especially when fighting against people with internal strength, it is easy to be catapulted out by the internal strength of others, let alone win. This requires further discussion, why do martial arts practitioners really need to practice internal skills?
03 Why practice internal skills
When analyzing the reasons for Guo Jing's great progress in martial arts above, it was initially proposed that external skills need to be supported by internal skills in order to exert maximum effectiveness of force. What's going on?
External power is more of a trick, which requires a high degree of fusion of strength and speed. How do you get them to merge? Of course, it depends on the qi and blood in the body of the martial practitioner, especially the breath that dominates in this high degree of fusion.
The breath that comes from the internal skills can stimulate the accuracy of the martial practitioners. Why does internal power inspire accuracy? As mentioned earlier, the accuracy of the movements is premised on the fact that the strength of the martial practitioner can be greatly concentrated. How can we greatly concentrate the strength of the martial practitioners?
This depends on the tightness of the breath. Not only to force, but also to make the breath closely support the corresponding nerve cells of the practitioner. At this time, the breath left in the practitioner's body could still respond to the necessary reactions of other cells at any time.
That is to say, the whole body breath can supply the whole body cells at any time, and can react quickly, and because of the need for external force to hit, the corresponding body part of the breath can be tightened at any time to make a highly elastic response, or defense or attack, can be free to retreat, where need to condense. In this way, you can improve the accuracy of the movements of the martial practitioner.
In addition, internal strength can condense the breath of the practitioner, and can continuously supply energy to the nerve channels and other body cells of the practitioner, which is like the dry land being fully nourished, so the nerve adaptability of the practitioner will inevitably increase.
This kind of neural adaptability expresses a deeper understanding of martial arts techniques and a deeper development of martial arts techniques. The performance is that the expression of the same move by the practitioner is more accurate, more calm, and more gentle. In the words of an expert, it is a set of martial arts, like the flow of clouds and water. Although this can only be obtained by the practitioners after countless practices, what is more intrinsic is that the practitioners are based on sufficient breath and benign thick breath, and their neural adaptability can be rapidly improved.
It can be seen that the height of the breath of the martial practitioner will determine the size of the supporting force for the martial arts practiced. In order to improve the effectiveness of martial arts, it is necessary to increase the thickness and height of the martial arts. How can I increase the breath height of a martial practitioner? Only by practicing internal skills well.
Of course, internal power can not only support and improve the play of external power, but also can be established independently. Those who can't practice martial arts moves, as long as they can gradually practice according to the method of internal gong, the vitality in their bodies will still gradually deepen. Even, after a long period of intense, their body and mind will become a condensation of yuan qi and become a physique that is easier to live longer.
Because of the above, before Guo Jing practiced Jin Yan Gong, many movements could not be done properly, or even could not be done, and qiaojin could not be made. After practicing Jin Yan Gong, he was physically strong, not only able to use his ingenuity, but also many actions that he could not do before, but now he can also do it in one go. It can be seen how great the practice of internal skills is for the improvement of an ordinary martial artist, and it also reminds those who practice martial arts that both internal and external skills must be practiced.
