"That's right, there are actually four people who achieved a small amount of sword skills this time."
The old man strode in and sat down.
Tao Jinglu, one of the elders of the Tao clan.
"Uncle."
Tao Ye was the first to salute.
Her grandfather is the village head, and she knows all these clan elders.
"Meet uncle."
After Tao Ye, the three saluted at the same time.
"Tao Ye, you didn't disgrace your grandfather! At the age of thirteen, you have practiced Gale Wind Saber to a small degree, and you are almost catching up with your sister Tao Jin."
Tao Jinglu praised Tao Ye first, then looked at Tao Qingfeng: "Are you Tao Qingfeng?"
"Yes, Uncle."
Tao Qingfeng nodded in response.
Although he was young, his tone was so confident that Tao Ye couldn't help but take another look.
This is the confidence that grows up in an environment full of praise.
"Young people are terrifying..."
Tao Jinglu obviously knew about this young man's talent before.
The elders of the clan pay special attention to the young geniuses in the clan.
The future prosperity of Taojiazhuang depends entirely on these young talents.
"You are?"
Tao Jinglu looked at another person Xu Ning didn't know.
"Uncle, I'm Tao Qingping."
Tao Qingping seemed to be about the same age as Xu Ning, and his talent was incomparable to that of Tao Ye and Tao Qingfeng. He seemed a little nervous in front of the patriarch Tao Jinglu.
"Oh… "
Tao Jinglu nodded, obviously not taking Tao Qingping seriously.
He looked at Xu Ning again: "What's your name?"
Tao Jinglu was extremely unfamiliar with Xu Ning.
"Uncle, my name is Xu Ning."
Xu Ning replied.
"Xu Ning?"
Tao Jinglu was obviously surprised.
There are very few people with a foreign surname in Dow's family, and even fewer can practice Gale Feng Dao to a small degree.
Xu Ning's situation is very rare.
"A person with a foreign surname..." Tao Jinglu rolled his eyelids and thought for a while, "Whose family do you belong to?"
"Back to Uncle, my brother-in-law is Tao Yunchuan."
Xu Ning responded truthfully.
"Tao Yunchuan..."
Tao Jinglu was thinking again, obviously, he was not familiar with this name.
Tao Jinglu paused for a moment, then asked again: "How old are you? Do you practice marksmanship or saber technique?"
"Seventeen, you are practicing Gale Wind Saber Technique."
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
"Seventeen..."
Tao Jinglu's expression didn't change: "It's not bad..."
He thought that Xu Ning had only practiced Gale Wind Saber Technique to a small degree.
The young people in Taojiazhuang started to practice martial arts as early as twelve years old, as late as fourteen years old, and as young as seventeen years old, their talents were not outstanding.
Xu Ning obviously also understood that Tao Jinglu's assessment of himself was off.
But after thinking about it, Xu Ning didn't explain.
That would seem rather deliberate.
Afterwards, Tao Jinglu stopped asking a few people questions, but waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't dawdle, you are also waiting impatiently, I will pass on the internal strength to you."
As soon as Tao Jinglu said this, the four people's eyes lit up at the same time.
Among them, Tao Ye is the same. Although she is the granddaughter of the patriarch, her grandfather never privately let her get in touch with inner strength in advance, and she is also looking forward to it.
Under the expectant eyes of several people, Tao Jinglu got up and walked to the compartment behind the lobby.
After a while, Tao Jinglu walked out.
At this time, he was holding a few booklets and a few pages of paper in his hand.
"This is the inner strength you have been thinking about!"
Tao Jinglu smiled, and first handed the booklets to the four of them.
Xu Ning finally took it and glanced at it.
There are three large characters printed on the cover - Spring Breeze Jue.
"Is this internal strength..."
There was a look of expectation in Xu Ning's eyes.
He slowly opened the cover and quickly browsed through a few pages.
Among them, the content of the Spring Breeze Jue is composed of words and some pictures of the human body, and the content of the exercises is relatively detailed.
Although it is difficult for ordinary people to learn characters in this era, Taojiazhuang, as a big village, started to learn characters when they were young.
Although Xu Ning was not in Taojiazhuang when he was a child, he also learned basic characters from Guo Ye in the three years after he settled down.
Guo Ye gave his predecessor a lot of help.
"Uncle."
Tao Ye happily flipped through a few pages of the Spring Breeze Jue, and then seemed to realize something, and asked, "Is this Spring Breeze Jue passed on to people in the village in this way before?"
"It's always been like this."
Tao Jinglu nodded.
Tao Ye frowned slightly: "I remember Grandpa said that inner strength is the foundation of martial arts, and the recipient can easily obtain the inner strength album, what if it leaks?"
Xu Ning heard from the side, and felt that Tao Ye's question was reasonable.
Taking myself as an example, after getting this picture book, if I want to pass it on to other people outside the Tao family village, there is absolutely nothing in the village to stop it.
Tao Jinglu laughed loudly, and explained: "It's true that inner strength is martial arts, but it's not something precious."
"Besides Zhuangzi, no matter who it is, if you want to practice martial arts, it is not difficult to obtain a kind of inner strength. In Kangyun County, you can buy a book of inner strength."
"This… "
Tao Ye was obviously very surprised.
"However, since inner strength and mental methods are so popular, why does Zhuang Nei still impose restrictions on us, and prevent us from contacting inner strength unless we have practiced Gale Wind Saber Technique to a small degree?"
Tao Ye asked again.
Tao Jinglu said: "You are not allowed to get in touch with internal strength in advance, because I am afraid that you will be too ambitious. Moreover, for beginners in martial arts, internal strength may not be as practical as external strength."
"For a rookie who has no foundation in martial arts, the immediate combat power of an external skill to a small level is stronger than that of an internal skill to the mortal realm. It’s not that big, it’s only noticeable in the later stages.”
"Moreover, the difficulty of practicing internal skills is much higher than that of external skills. If a person can't even achieve a small success in one of the external skills, then his talent and perseverance are not enough to enable him to start the road of internal skills."
"These are the reasons why Zhuang Nei asked you to practice external skills first, and then internal skills."
Tao Ye heard this and nodded, thoughtfully.
Tao Jinglu's words explained Tao Ye's doubts, and at the same time made several people understand the difference between internal strength and external strength.
"Why, are there any questions?"
Tao Jinglu seemed to be very patient with the juniors.
"Uncle, I have another question."
This time it was Tao Qingfeng who spoke.
"You speak."
Tao Jinglu waved his hand.
"I heard that there are quite a few types of internal energy. For example, the internal energy of our Tao family is Chunfengjue, and the internal energy of the Song Family Village next door is Fengleishu. What's the difference?"
Tao Qingfeng still had a curious expression on his immature face.
"You know quite a lot, kid. You even know that the internal strength of the Song Family Village is the Wind and Thunder Book."
Tao Jinglu pointed to Tao Qingfeng with a smile, and explained: "That's right, there are thousands of internal skills in the world, and their essence is the way to break through the Ninth Level of Mortal Realm."
"The difference between various types of exercises is mainly reflected in the different ways to stimulate the potential of an individual's physical body. The Spring Wind Jue of our Tao family, the practice method and the breakthrough method are both steady and steady, which are very protective for the individual. Practitioners rarely get seriously injured because of practicing kung fu, but the disadvantage is that the speed of practice is relatively slow."
"In Songjiazhuang's Fengleishu, the way to stimulate the potential of the physical body is relatively more domineering, and the breakthrough speed is faster, but it is also more likely to be injured. Last year, a young man in Songjiazhuang was eager to break through, and almost lost his life. Although he was rescued later, But he also became a waste person.”
"Generally speaking, there are no good or bad exercises, just different styles of practice. The methods of inner strength that can be handed down at present have all been tested. You don't have to worry about the pros and cons of the exercises. No matter what kind of exercises, after breaking through the realm The strengths they have are all approximate."
"Is that so..."
When Xu Ning heard about it, he understood the essence of inner strength.
This is a bit like the textbooks from the previous life. Although they are written differently, there is no difference in essence.
"Where are the gaps between fighters of the same realm?"
Tao Qingfeng was still asking.
"There are many factors that affect this..." Tao Jinglu said, "In the same realm, some warriors are newcomers, while others have reached their peak; some grew up in battle, and some grew up in a greenhouse; Cultivate one or even multiple foreign skills to great success or even perfection... These are the factors that determine the outcome of a match between fighters of the same level."
"Oh… "
Tao Qingfeng thought for a while, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Uncle, for clarifying the confusion!"
"What about the two of you? Do you have any questions?"
