Chapter 122: Creating a Kung Fu Technique!
Xin Zhen smiled. He actually had a lot more to say, but there was no need to say too much now.
In fact, he should have planned to pass on martial arts according to the school model of later generations. The so-called outer disciples are those in elementary and junior high school, and becoming inner disciples is the stage of entering higher education, which is equivalent to high school and undergraduate. As for the true disciples, that is the graduate and doctoral stage, and they all need to be guided by special tutors.
These can be divided up after we have enough disciples. There is no need to be in a hurry now.
There are more important things to talk about first.
Xin Zhen said, "Let's settle the matter of recruiting disciples. From now on, all the brothers and sisters should treat this as the most important thing. You must recruit more disciples. It doesn't matter if they are younger. It's just right to stagger the ages. In this way, a new generation will emerge every few years, and the Sword Sect can maintain its vitality."
Feng Ping and the others nodded. Feng Qingyang said, "Hurry up and recruit some disciples. My hands are itching."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Teacher, please don't be busy. We have more important things to do."
The others looked at Xin Zhen, who said, "Although Huashan swordsmanship is exquisite, it is not enough.
Some people think that as long as there are powerful martial arts, it will be able to support the development of the sect. This is not inevitable. No matter how sophisticated the martial arts are, someone must learn them.
Occasionally, a genius will appear and become the best of his time, but that doesn't mean his survival is guaranteed, especially since some martial arts require unique roots, intelligence, and physique to learn, and are not suitable for widespread dissemination.
For example, Dugu Nine Swords is of course the most powerful swordsmanship in the world, but it is actually facing the risk of being lost. Master, you are the only one in your generation who has learned it, and now with Linghu Chong, there are only three people who have learned it. As for the others, they simply don’t have the qualifications to learn it.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Buping and his companions looked ashamed.
Feng Qingyang did think about teaching them the Dugu Nine Swords, but they only learned the form and could not master the core content. The power they used was not as good as when they used the Huashan Basic Swordsmanship.
Feng Qingyang said somewhat bleakly: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have begged you to learn this sword technique. It's a pleasant surprise that Linghu Chong was able to learn it."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "The threshold for learning Dugu Nine Swords is too high. Unless you are a swordsmanship genius, you can't learn it at all. Most people have a hard time learning even the basic Huashan swordsmanship, let alone advanced swordsmanship such as Yangwu Swordsmanship and Xiyi Swordsmanship."
Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "Huashan swordsmanship is unique in the martial arts world, so it is naturally very subtle and profound. However, the more subtle and profound it is, the greater the threshold for learning it is. This has always been the case. The major sects will screen and select their disciples. If someone lacks talent, it is normal for them not to even take a look at him."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, “That’s true, but in my opinion, people’s talents vary, but they also have some biases.
Some people are better at the subtle and mysterious sword techniques, but some people are good at the straightforward external martial arts of defeating others with force.
If the Huashan Sect's swordsmanship only had subtle mysteries and was only open to those with exceptional talents, it would be very difficult for the Huashan Sect to reach a very high status.
My goal is to wait for a few decades for the Huashan Sect to be comparable to Shaolin and Wudang and become one of the leaders of the righteous path, so I have to give more thought to these issues.
I think that Shaolin has 72 unique skills, 12 magic fists, 36 mechanical rooms, and thousands of martial arts. Disciples of different qualifications can choose the martial arts that suits them. This is why Shaolin is so powerful. Therefore, Huashan can't support a martial arts leader with only nine skills. We have to inject more martial arts into Huashan Sword School."
Cong Buqi frowned upon hearing this and said, "Master, our Huashan swordsmanship is already powerful enough. We can work harder on selecting disciples. Isn't it enough to just find disciples who are talented enough?
Shaolin is certainly powerful, and it is also very powerful that there are thousands of martial arts, but martial arts are about concentration rather than breadth. No matter how many sword techniques others know, I only use Huashan sword techniques, and others can do nothing to me. "
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Based on your qualifications, how many people do you think can be selected?"
Feng Buping said with a smile: "Master, please don't worry about Junior Brother Cong. He is naive and has no idea about these things..."
Feng Buping sighed, "...Huashan swordsmanship does require high qualifications. Sometimes, to find a talented disciple, you have to travel from south to north and spend several years to find a few qualified talents.
Sometimes, among so many disciples in a sect, many of them only linger in a very low realm throughout their entire lives.
Master, you are right. I have heard that scholars teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Some disciples are indeed not suitable for learning overly complicated martial arts.
Some disciples were unable to learn Yangwu swordsmanship, but they learned the basic swordsmanship very well.
Some disciples cannot learn swordsmanship, but they are very knowledgeable about boxing.
When I was traveling around the world, there were indeed people who could not learn swordsmanship, but later by chance I got a set of horizontal training kung fu and became a first-class master.
Therefore, if there are different martial arts secrets that can be practiced in the sect, perhaps all kinds of talents will emerge in the sect, and the requirements for the qualifications of disciples will be lowered. This is indeed the reason for the growth of real big sects.
But there is a problem now. Although we in Huashan have nine skills, Zixia is the first, Baoyuan is like a pillar, Hunyuan is the basis, Eagle and Snake Fighting, Liangyi Dingfang, Dadao Xiyi, Jade Girl Nineteen Styles, Yangwu Sword Method to cultivate oneself, we have sword skills, internal force, boxing skills, and claw skills, but all of them require high qualifications.
I have come into contact with some martial arts while traveling around the world, but they are all inferior skills. Practicing them is just a waste of time."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "This is why I specifically brought this up. This may be a problem for others, but it is a very simple problem for Master."
Feng Qingyang shook his head and said, "I don't have many martial arts secrets."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master's attainment of the Dugu Nine Swords has long reached the pinnacle. The Dugu Nine Swords can break all martial arts in the world, including sword techniques, fist techniques, palm techniques, whip techniques, and various types of strange weapons. The basis of being able to break them is based on a deep understanding of various types of military techniques. How can you say you don't understand?
Since we can break it, we can also create it. The fist and palm techniques created according to the principles of Dugu Nine Swords will be first-class martial arts as soon as they are created.
Master, you see, these shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Feng Qingyang suddenly realized, clapped his hands and laughed, "I understand now, hahahaha, good, leave this matter to me!"
