003, historical fork, the origin of martial arts
In a small bedroom.
Chu Tianxing sat upright at the computer desk, amid the sound of the old desktop computer's asthma-like chassis running, frowned and looked at the historical information they searched for.
The historical trajectory of this world was no different from the history of his original world before the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
The fork in history appeared in the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
In Chu Tianxing’s original world, in the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng conquered Yanjing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged on the coal mountain. Then there was that bloody and dark history of national demise.
And in this world, the city of Yanjing in the 17th year of Chongzhen was still undermined by Li Zicheng.
However, Emperor Chongzhen did not hang himself on the old crooked tree. He suddenly opened his hands in an unparalleled manner. When Li Zicheng entered the capital from Deshengmen, he beheaded Li Zicheng with a palm technique that descended from the sky...
There is nothing wrong.
Emperor Chongzhen in this world was the first martial arts master to practice "true qi" in the Central Plains.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally in Chu Tianxing, was extremely diligent. Although his diligence basically only had a counterproductive effect and made the already unbearable situation worse and worse, at least he had never slacked off.
Emperor Chongzhen in this world worked a little diligently for the first time when he ascended the throne. After a year, he started fishing for three days and two days of drying the net. By the fourth year of Chongzhen, he did not attend court once a month.
Everyone thought that Emperor Chongzhen was another Emperor Jiajing, but no one knew at that time that Emperor Chongzhen was not lazy because of his laziness, but focused his time and energy on the cultivation of martial arts...
Not only did he practice martial arts by himself, he also vigorously cultivated his son and daughter. At the same time, he also firmly grasped the military power of the last elite "Yongwei Camp" in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He did not send the Yongwei Palace to fight, but also taught martial arts to the army and trained a strong army that could be one to ten.
In the 17th year of Chongzhen, after beheading Li Zicheng himself, Emperor Chongzhen took advantage of the fact that the rebel army had no leader and led the Yongwei camp to defeat the rebel army, recaptured the capital, and turned the tide in adversity.
Later, he fought south and north, defeated the rebel army, destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, and reorganized the country. During his warship career, his sons and daughters also made great contributions...
So it's still the Ming Dynasty now.
That's why there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
Not only the east factory, but also the west factory and the inner factory...
When he saw this, Chu Tianxing thought it was ridiculous and searched for "true Qi".
This search immediately shocked him.
"In this world, martial arts are divided into four major realms: external cultivation, internal strength, true qi, and gangqi... The "true qi realm" is the third major realm.
"You need to practice internal strength first, and then use internal strength to understand the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians to make the internal strength pass without any obstacles. Then you will constantly condense and warm the internal strength to improve the quality of internal strength, and constantly temper the body with internal strength until the physical strength reaches a certain level and can withstand the power of "true qi". Only then can you try to condense a little "true qi" seed...
"The so-called 'true qi' refers to an energy that can 'turn false into true'. The internal force is invisible and intangible. Although it can improve the body's physique, endurance, strength, speed, and reaction, even if it is practiced until the internal force is released, it is an invisible force that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
"And true qi... can show various sound and light effects according to various attributes. Fire belongs to true qi, which can produce flame-like light and shadow, and has real high temperatures. Ice belongs to true qi, which can produce strange cold and frozen air. Gold leads to true qi, which can produce sharp sword light, which is invincible...
"A warrior from the True Qi Realm uses true Qi to condense the acupoints. When the acupoints around the body are refined, he can try to break through the Gangqi Realm. If successful, he will become a land god from now on... he can fly in his body, dive into the deep sea without drowning, swim in lava without burning, call the wind and rain, thunder in his palm, shake the mountain with his bare hands, and cut the building with his palm..."
Seeing this, Chu Tianxing was shocked, excited, and a little worried:
"Are you mistaken? Is the Gangqi Realm... so strong? What's the difference between this and the legendary gods? Is the earth so small, can withstand the troubles of the Gangqi Realm?"
Worried, I quickly checked the number of warriors in the Gangqi realm, and only breathed a little relieved after checking it.
"Fortunately, there are only nine warriors in Gangqi, at least in the public information, only nine people in the Ming Dynasty... Well, at least there are only nine people in the public information..."
After checking the history and martial arts information, Chu Tianxing closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said to himself:
"From historical data, Emperor Chongzhen is not a time traveler... After Emperor Chongzhen took the first move and recaptured the capital, many internal power realm warriors and even masters of the True Qi realm appeared on the Central Plains... and those people had nothing to do with Emperor Chongzhen and the Yongwei Camp. Even in the Rebel Army and the Later Jin Dynasty, such people appeared..."
Of course, later generations have studied this strange phenomenon, but the conclusion is not unexpected, it is the "resurrection of spiritual energy".
Some researchers believe that the immortals and gods in ancient myths should have existed. And they are not born gods. It is very likely that ancient humans have cultivated true qi and even qi, so they are regarded as gods by ordinary people and worshipped.
However, because of the "Jidi Tiantong", the spiritual energy in the world gradually dried up and the extraordinary power gradually disappeared, so the immortals and gods became legends since then.
Until the Chongzhen period, the spiritual energy revived again. Those martial arts predecessors who were born with different physical constitutions and were extremely sensitive to "spiritual energy" noticed the existence of spiritual energy, and then through practice, they allowed extraordinary power to reappear in the world.
But the problem arises again: martial arts is very rigorous. Even if you "refined externally" muscles and bones, if the exercise method is not appropriate, you will develop problems and even become disabled. There must be no mistakes involving the internal strength of meridians, acupoints, and the cultivation of true qi.
Before the "Resurrection of Spiritual Qi", there was no internal force in the world, and the martial arts of the True Qi Realm were circulated. So how did the masters of the True Qi Realm and the internal power realm power realm successful practice?
This question can only be found in historical materials.
In the daily notes of Emperor Chongzhen, there was a record of "I dreamed of obtaining the apocalypse and then became martial arts." In some private notes of other warriors of the same era, there were also records of "I was taught by gods and men in my dreams" and "watching the star signs at night, I was in a daze, and suddenly gained something."
Judging from these historical records, the original origin of martial arts seems to point to the mysterious "apocalypse".
But what happened to this "Apocalypse" is that there is no public information on the Internet. Anyway, Chu Tianxing has been looking for it for a long time but has not found it.
But there is no information online, which cannot prove the current world and do not know the truth about "Apocalypse".
In Chu Tianxing's view, perhaps the truth of "Apocalypse" has been studied long ago, but it has not been disclosed.
Because of the revival of spiritual energy, the extraordinary power that individuals have mastered appears, and in mythology, there are warriors in the Gangqi realm like ancient gods. In this world, civil technology, it does not lag behind the same era in Chu Tianxing's original world, but military technology is extremely lagging behind - warriors, especially powerful warriors, will naturally have a status that matches their personal strength.
But a warrior is not an immortal body. Even a warrior who is a god-like Gangqi realm has weaknesses and can be killed.
Therefore, powerful warriors who have mastered power and power around the world have the ambition to suppress the development of military technology together so as not to be mastered by ordinary people that can kill their own power.
Therefore, nuclear weapons do not exist in this world. Gangqi realm warriors are themselves "nuclear weapons".
Conventional weapons are also very backward, probably only equivalent to Chu Tianxing's original world war.
Weapons of this level can kill weaker True Qi realm weapons, but they are not very threatening to powerful True Qi realm warriors. There is no threat to Gang Qi realm warriors.
Military technology is like this, so whether a country's military power is strong depends only on how many powerful warriors it has.
Therefore, powerful warriors did not strictly block the martial arts. At least basic martial arts, ordinary martial arts, and even a few advanced martial arts were left to pass on.
Contemporary countries around the world have started teaching students to practice martial arts since elementary school. In the Ming Dynasty, there are at least fourteen physical education classes per week, and there are more than five theoretical classes related to martial arts.
But even so, not everyone can practice advanced martial arts.
Practicing martial arts is more talented than studying.
Even if a person who reads is average in physical talent, as long as he has enough brains and is focused and determined and persevering, he can achieve success in his studies.
However, practicing martial arts, especially in advanced martial arts, is not enough to have a brain, and is not afraid of hardships and a talent for focusing and perseverance. You also have to have a natural good body.
In Chu Tianxing's original world, there were many athletes with top physical talents, but they might not have a brain. There were also many academic gods with outstanding brain talents, but they might not have a good body. There were also many people with good physical and mental talents, but they might not have a perseverance.
And advanced martial arts are essential for the body, mind, and personality talents.
Therefore, only the warriors in the Gangqi realm are not one in the millions. The absolute number of warriors in the True Qi realm is quite large, but the relative proportion is not too high.
Although the number of internal power realm warriors is huge, for example, in the current Ming Dynasty, because it has a population base of up to 1.6 billion, it has a total of tens of millions of internal power realm warriors. However, the vast majority of these tens of millions of internal power realm warriors will stop here in their entire lives. They cannot refine the seeds of true qi, and it is even more impossible to expect the Gangqi realm.
As for those who can't even practice internal strength, they account for the vast majority.
For example, Chu Tianxing in this world, let alone internal strength, because he is born with a poor physical condition, he cannot do particularly vigorous exercise. He cannot even pass the basics of martial arts and the "external muscle and bone refining" level.
"So, in this life, I will not succeed in literature or martial arts, and I will lose billions of wealth. Apart from being a general, I will be useless?"
Chu Tianxing felt very unwilling.
This world is so wonderful, how could he be willing to be a useless and handsome guy?
"Just like that guy Xiao Hu said, I can't hide behind Qin Ling for the rest of my life, right? But... I have been teaching martial arts since elementary school. When I arrived in junior high school and high school, martial arts was even more in Chinese and math's absolute main course... If my body in this world was really talented in martial arts, I should have developed it long ago...
"At the same time, there is always a reason for traveling through time. It is impossible to travel through this trip for no reason. What led to my traveling through time... Whether it is the mysterious power or the mysterious existence, I should give me some travel benefits, right? Otherwise, wouldn't this be in vain?"
At this moment, his mind suddenly shook, and a strange crystal that was crystal clear, like a diamond or a lotus, appeared in his mind.
As the strange crystal appeared, a mysterious message poured into his mind.
After interpreting the message, a strange look appeared on Chu Tianxing's face.
"Writing novels... The more famous the novel is, the more fans are willing to pay for it, the more will they gather their will and cleanse their bodies? If it can be adapted into TV, movies, comics and animations, and enter thousands of households, will it get more benefits?
"I'll go, is this my golden finger? I've decided to change my career! How can I still write novels after traveling through time? I've proved myself for ten years - I'm not the material for this industry!"
