Chapter 9

"Yes, there are four people who have achieved a small success in knife technique this time."

The old man strode in and sat down.

Tao Jinglu, one of the old Taos.

"Uncle."

Tao Ye took the lead in saluting.

Her grandfather is the village head. She knows all these ethnic elders.

"Met my uncle."

After Tao Ye, the three saluted at the same time.

"Tao Ye, I didn't lose your grandpa's face! When I was 13, I practiced the gale Sabre technique to Xiaocheng, and I'm almost catching up with your sister Tao Jin."

Tao Jinglu first praised Tao Ye and then looked at Tao Qingfeng: "are you Tao Qingfeng?"

"Yes, uncle."

Tao Qingfeng nodded.

Although he was young, his tone was confident, which made Tao Ye couldn't help looking at it more.

This is the inner strength to grow up in an environment full of praise.

"The younger generation is awesome..."

Tao Jinglu obviously knew the young man's talent before.

The elders of the clan pay special attention to the young talents in the clan.

The prosperity of taojiazhuang is all due to these young talents.

"Are you?"

Tao Jinglu looks at another person Xu Ning doesn't know.

"Uncle, I'm Tao Qingping."

Tao Qingping looks about the same age as Xu Ning. His talent and Tao Ye can't compare with Tao Qingfeng. The whole person seems a little nervous in front of Lao Tao Jinglu.

"Oh..."

Tao Jinglu nodded, obviously not taking Tao Qingping to heart.

He looked at Xu Ning again: "what's your name?"

Tao Jinglu is very strange to Xu Ning.

"Uncle, my name is Xu Ning."

Xu Ning responded.

"Xu Ning?"

Tao Jinglu was obviously surprised.

There are few people with other surnames of Tao, and fewer can practice the gale Sabre technique to a small degree.

This kind of situation in Xu Ning is very rare.

"People with other surnames..." Tao Jinglu turned his eyelids and thought, "whose family are you?"

"Uncle Hui, my brother-in-law is Tao Yunchuan."

Xu Ning responded truthfully.

"Tao Yunchuan..."

Tao Jinglu was thinking again. Obviously, he was not familiar with the name.

Tao jingluton paused for a moment and asked, "how old are you? Are you practising shooting or knife?"

"Seventeen, I practiced the strong wind Sabre technique."

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

"Seventeen..."

Tao Jinglu's expression didn't change: "it's also good..."

He thought Xu Ning only practiced the strong wind Sabre technique to a small degree.

The young people in taojiazhuang started practicing martial arts at the age of 12, 14 and 17. Their talent is not outstanding.

Xu Ning obviously understood that Tao Jinglu had made a deviation in his evaluation.

But after thinking about it, Xu Ning didn't explain.

That would seem quite deliberate.

After that, Tao Jinglu no longer asked a few questions, but waved his hand and said, "well, don't linger. You're in a hurry. I'll teach you my internal skills now."

Tao Jinglu's words lit up at the same time.

Tao Ye is the same. Although she is the granddaughter of the patriarch, her grandfather never let her contact internal skills in advance, and she is full of expectation.

In the expectant eyes of several people, Tao Jinglu got up and went to the compartment behind the lobby.

After a while, Tao Jinglu walked out.

At this time, he was holding several pamphlets and several pages of paper in his hand.

"This is your internal skill!"

Tao Jinglu smiled and handed the pamphlets to the four people.

Xu Ning finally took over and swept his eyes.

There are three big characters printed on the cover -- spring breeze formula.

"Is this internal skill..."

Xu Ning's eyes looked expectant.

He slowly opened the cover page and scanned a few pages quickly.

The spring breeze formula is composed of words and some human body pictures. The content of the skill is more detailed.

Although it is difficult for ordinary people to learn characters in this era, as a big Zhuangzi, taojiazhuang people began to learn literacy when they were young.

Although Xu Ning was not in taojiazhuang as a child, he learned basic writing with Guo Ye three years after he settled down.

Guo Ye gave him a lot of help.

"Uncle."

Tao Ye first happily turned over a few pages of the spring breeze formula, then seemed to realize something, and asked, "was this spring breeze formula passed on to the people in the village in this way before?"

"Always."

Tao Jinglu nodded.

Tao Ye frowned: "I remember grandpa said that internal skill is the foundation of martial arts. The taught person can easily obtain the internal skill atlas. What if it is leaked?"

Xu Ning heard it and felt that Tao Ye's question was reasonable.

Take yourself as an example. If you want to teach this book to others outside taojia villa, the villa can't stop it at all.

Tao Jinglu laughed and explained, "internal skill is a martial art. It's true at all, but it's not a precious thing."

"It's not difficult for anyone outside Chuang Tzu to learn martial arts. You can buy an internal skill map in Kangyun county with money."

"This..."

Tao Ye was obviously surprised.

"However, since the internal mental skill is so popular, why should the villa restrict us from contacting the internal skill if we don't cultivate the gale Sabre technique to a small degree?"

Tao ye asked again.

Tao Jing said, "I won't let you contact internal skills in advance because I'm afraid you're aiming too high. Moreover, when you first learn martial arts, internal skills may not be as practical as external skills."

"For a newcomer without the foundation of martial arts, the combat power of practicing one external skill to a small degree is better than that of practicing one internal skill to an all-round level. The combat power gap between internal skill and external skill is not large in the early stage, but it becomes obvious in the later stage."

"Moreover, the difficulty of cultivating internal skills is much higher than that of external skills. If a person can't achieve a small success in even one external skill, his talent and perseverance are not enough to open the road of internal skill cultivation."

"These are the reasons why the villa asked you to practice external skills first and then internal skills."

Hearing this, Tao Ye nodded and thought deeply.

Tao Jinglu's words not only explained Tao Ye's doubts, but also made several people understand the difference between internal and external skills.

"What, any questions?"

Tao Jinglu seems very patient with his younger generation.

"Uncle, I have another question."

Tao Qingfeng spoke this time.

"You speak."

Tao Jinglu waved his hand.

"I've heard that there are many kinds of internal mental skills. For example, the internal skills of the Tao family are spring wind formula, and the internal skills of the Song family villa next door are wind and thunder book. What's the difference?"

Tao Qingfeng also has a childish face with a curious look.

"You know a lot. You even know that Song Jiazhuang's internal skill is a wind and thunder book."

Tao Jinglu pointed to Tao Qingfeng with a smile and explained, "yes, there are thousands of internal skills in the world. Its essence is to break through the nine ways of martial arts in the world."

"The differences between various kinds of skills are mainly reflected in the different ways to stimulate personal physical potential. The spring wind formula, cultivation methods and breakthrough methods of our Taos family are all of the steady and steady type, which is very protective for individuals. Ordinary practitioners rarely suffer great injuries because of their Kung Fu practice, but the disadvantage is that the cultivation speed is relatively slow."

"Song Jiazhuang's wind and thunder book is a more overbearing way to stimulate physical potential. It breaks through faster, but it is also easier to get hurt. A young man in Song Jiazhuang was eager to break through and almost lost his life last year. Although he was rescued later, he became a useless man."

"Generally speaking, there are no good or bad skills, but different cultivation styles. At present, the internal skill skills that can be handed down have been tested. You don't have to worry about the pros and cons of skills. No matter what kind of skills, they have similar strength after breaking through the realm."

"So..."

Xu Ning understood the essence of internal skill.

This is a bit like the textbooks of previous lives. Although the compilation is different, there is no difference in essence.

"Where is the gap between the martial arts players in the same realm?"

Tao Qingfeng is still asking.

"There are many factors that affect this..." Tao Jing said, "in the same realm, some martial artists are new, some have reached the peak; some grow up in battle, some grow up in the greenhouse; some people have average external skills, while others practice one or more external skills to great success or even perfection... These are the factors that determine the victory or defeat of martial artists at the same level."

"Oh..."

Tao Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "thank you, uncle!"

"What about you two? But what questions do you have?"
