The annotations on the second page weren't written in classical Chinese like the original text of the Five Birds Qigong. Instead, they were written in extremely concise vernacular Chinese.
"There are only a few martial artists who have reached the peak of muscle strength. Those who can guide breathing are unheard of. There was no other reason. It was just that martial artists 'aptitude was getting worse and worse, and their mental state was getting more and more impetuous. Those who could comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth were rare. The decline of martial arts is lamentable…"
It was just a short paragraph, but the meaning was easy to understand.
The general introduction of the Five Birds Qigong did not mention the specific cultivation method, and this annotation did not mention the specific cultivation method either. It only lamented the decline of the current martial arts and sighed.
What really surprised Jie was that the reason for the decline of martial arts in this annotation was not like most Wuxia and Xianxia novels, which said that the decline of martial arts and the inability to cultivate was due to the "decrease in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth". Instead, it pointed to the aptitude and state of mind of humans. It mentioned that the decline of human martial arts and the absence of ancient "immortals" were due to the decline of human aptitude and the impetuous state of mind!
Thinking about it carefully, Jie agreed with this statement.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth on earth had not changed for tens of thousands of years, but it had suddenly decreased in the past two thousand years? From immortals and gods flying everywhere to immortal people disappearing all of a sudden?
Hua Tuo, the creator of Five Birds Qigong, lived in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, immortals were not everywhere, but there were also mysterious legends about Zhang Jiao, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and so on. In terms of martial arts, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the little tyrant Sun Ce killed a general with a roar, and Zhang Fei killed Xia Houjie with a shout on Changban Hill. The exuberance of these top-notch generals 'Qi and blood had reached a shocking level. These things could not be erased by the words " a novelist's nonsense "!
Compared to the spiritual energy in the world, Jie believed that the human heart was the one that changed faster!
Human hearts are no longer what they used to be!
As the pace of modern life gradually increased, people became more and more impetuous. In the journey of life, very few people would stop occasionally to calmly admire the scenery by the roadside. With the improvement of living standards and material enjoyment, humans 'understanding of nature and Dao became increasingly shallow…
Putting everything else aside, in the martial arts world, how many people were there who truly wanted to strengthen their bodies and pursue the peak of martial arts?
Most people who studied martial arts had the goal of winning a golden medal in various competitions or becoming a martial arts star with their martial arts skills.
In Jie's previous life, when he was practicing the Five Animal Frolics, he didn't even get the essence of this technique. Now that he had become a little chick, his mentality had changed. Coupled with the natural instincts of a little chick, he had some understanding of some of the stances similar to Chinese martial arts. He had only touched a little bit of the path of martial artists.
"I wonder who wrote this annotation?”
After reading the notes, Jie had some doubts in his mind.
Judging from the language of this annotation, it was obviously written by a modern person. However, judging from the imposing manner of the calligraphy and the knowledge of martial arts, it was obvious that it was not written by a young man like Liu Yan. Could it be that the person who wrote this note was the grandfather that Liu Yan had mentioned in the Botanic Garden?
However, he didn't dare to say who wrote it. As long as it made sense and was beneficial to Jie, he would absorb it!
Jie clicked on the page and started to read the specific cultivation method of Five Birds Qigong.
There were also vernacular annotations at the end of the specific cultivation method of the Five Birds Qigong, which were mixed with some insights into the cultivation method of the Five Birds Qigong. This " Five Birds Qigong " was almost exactly the same as the Five Animal Play that was circulating on the Internet. Obviously, the most valuable part was the annotations at the back.
"The level of martial arts is divided according to the Xingyi Fist Grandmaster Guo Yunshen's classification. It is divided into open force, hidden force, and transformed force?”
After reading through the annotations of Five Birds Qigong, Jie had a slight understanding of the level of martial arts.
The cultivation of Chinese martial arts depended on the refinement of energy into qi. The so-called qi referred to qi strength and energy. No matter how strong a person was, their energy might not be great, and their strength might not be strong. Therefore, physical strength was never a standard to measure a martial artist's strength. The strength of a martial artist was usually determined by the strength of Qi-Jin.
Bright force was a force that was purely created by physical strength.
Hidden force was a more advanced way of using Qi-Jin. The Qi-Jin in one's body could be completely " pushed out ", like needles piercing through the enemy's body!
Above hidden force, there was also the Huajin level, which was a more brilliant use of Qi-Jin.
Unlike hidden force, which was as sharp as a needle, the qi that was released from the transformed force could be hard or soft, soft to hard, hard to soft, and so on. This was called the transformed force!
Open Jin, Hidden Jin, and HuaJin were the three major levels of martial artists.
These three levels of Chinese martial arts were proposed by Guo Yunshen, the master of the Xing Yi Martial Arts. They were generally used as a standard to judge the level of Chinese martial arts. In the past, the levels of Chinese martial arts were 'skin toughening',' flesh toughening','bone toughening', and so on. However, when a martial artist cultivates, they usually strengthen their skin, flesh, and bones at the same time. It doesn't mean that I can't train my bones at all when I'm at the skin toughening'. Furthermore, the cultivation of the skin, flesh, bones, and muscles was never-ending. It was very difficult to determine how strong one's 'skin tempering' was before one could enter the 'flesh tempering' realm. Therefore, Guo Yunshen's Xingyi Fist theory was still used in Chinese martial arts, and it was defined by the level of Qi-Jin.
These things were clearly written in the annotations of the Five Birds Qigong.
With the annotations, Five Birds Qigong was like a basic Chinese martial arts tutorial. Even Jie, who had never practiced before, could easily understand it. Jie guessed that the annotations of the Five Birds Qigong were probably written by Liu Yan's grandfather to guide Liu Yan in her martial arts practice. Now, he was the one who benefited.
In his previous life, Jie had never sought to understand the Five Animal Frolics.
Now that he had become a chicken, his understanding of the Five Animal Frolics had deepened. Coupled with the vernacular annotations at the back, some of the things that Jie had felt were obscure in the past had now become clear!
Unknowingly, Jie had already started to practice according to the Five Birds Qigong. His body moved slowly, and he started to practice with his breathing.
*************
Two consecutive months!
Early in the morning, in the backyard of Liu Yan's villa in Jiangzhou City, Jie stood firmly on a low peach tree. His claws were slightly bent, and his wings were up and down. After moving for 49 times, Jie finally stopped. He opened his short beak slightly and slowly exhaled.
Coo coo coo…
Jie exhaled, and the airbags in his bones vibrated, making a sound similar to a frog's squawk!
Jie was currently practicing the Bird Frolics of the Five Animal Frolics!
After practicing the bird act, Jie exhaled the air in his lungs and body. Not only did he not feel tired, but his limbs were filled with energy. A warm current flowed through his muscles and bones. Jie knew that this was the so-called Qi-Jin. However, Jie's Qi-Jin could not be released from his body and form hidden Jin. Therefore, according to the division of martial arts, Jie was still at the "Bright Jin" stage.
Of course, although he was still stuck at the Bright Jing stage, his cultivation speed was not slow.
One had to know that some martial artists could not even touch the threshold of internal force after cultivating for their entire lives. Once they broke through to internal force, they almost had the strength to kill wolves and tigers. When one reached the HuaJin stage, one could even fight with tigers and lions without falling into a disadvantage!
According to Jie's understanding, the mountain cat was a low-level beast, the wolf leopard was a mid-level beast, and the tiger lion was a high-level beast. The combat power of the three martial arts levels of open force, hidden force, and neutral force could basically be equivalent to those three beasts if no special circumstances were taken into account.
Jie could only be considered a low-level beast.
Its wings flapped twice, and a surge of buoyancy lifted Jie up.
Jie had changed a lot in the past two months!
Other than his body becoming bigger, almost the same size as a rooster, Jie's body had also changed greatly. His wings were wider, but his body was short and thick. His neck was much shorter than a normal chicken, more like a big eagle. However, his round head was obviously bigger than a big eagle or an eagle.
In addition, Jie's feathers changed the most!
Jie, who had just been born, was still covered in fiery red feathers. Now, after nearly three months, Jie's entire body was covered in long fiery red feathers!
This change was within Jie's expectations.
Jie raised chickens in his previous life, so he was very familiar with the growth of chickens. Normal chickens usually had three stages of growth.
In the first stage, the fur on the whole body was usually of a single color. Goose yellow, black, and white were more common. In the second stage, the feathers were removed and replaced by feathers. However, the color of the feathers was still the same as in the first stage. In addition, the chicks at this stage had already begun to grow a "cockscomb". However, the difference between a rooster and a hen was not obvious. In the third stage, the chicks were fully grown. The difference between a rooster and a hen was obvious. The rooster's comb had greatly increased, and the color of its feathers had also changed. No matter what color it was before, it would eventually become the colorful color of a rooster.
Jie was clearly in the second stage.
Although the feathers had grown out, their length was still not comparable to that of a fully mature bird. Now that Jie flapped his wings, he might be able to fly a few meters high, but at most, he would be like a pheasant. He did not have the ability to fly high in the sky for long distances!
"If I were to fly out now, it would be very easy for the humans to find me and capture me. There's no rush for revenge. In another two to three months, it will be the season of spring and summer. It would be best if there is a storm. My feathers will be almost fully grown, and I will be able to ride the wind…"
Jie thought to himself.
In the past two months, Jie had snuck into Liu Yan's biological laboratory several times to check on her research on biological science and technology.
On the computer in Liu Yan's lab, Jie was surprised to find that Liu Yan was researching technology related to the development of the human brain. Liu Yan's research on the human brain's nerve center was many times more advanced than Jie's. Jie was good at genetic technology that strengthened the body. Even if it involved the spiritual domain, it was only to modify the reaction speed of the chicken's nerves and the perception of its eyes and ears. As for the forbidden area of humans, Jie in his previous life did not dare to touch it at all!
When he found out that Liu Yan was studying the human brain, Jie suddenly remembered the sentence in the annotation of Five Birds Qigong.
The reason why modern people couldn't reach the peak of martial arts had a lot to do with their aptitude!
If Liu Yan's research could change something in the human brain, then it was very likely to change the aptitude of humans to cultivate various cultivation techniques. Once one had the ability to change one's aptitude, it was almost equivalent to mastering the laws of the gods!
However, from the looks of it, Liu Yan's research had yet to produce any substantial results.
Liu Yan had been researching the Divine Wrath gene strand that Jie had sent to her for the past two months. However, her research direction was completely opposite to Jie's. It was not to block the response of the human central nervous system, but to activate and enhance the response of the human central nervous system. In other words, it was to make the human's response more sensitive and their thinking ability more powerful!
" If Liu Yan has really developed a medicine that can change a human's cultivation aptitude, I wonder if humans can still reach the peak of martial arts and step into the legendary immortal realm…"
Jie was looking forward to Liu Yan's research.
Of course, Jie was looking forward to his genetic poison research!
After absorbing some information about human biology from Liu Yan's computer, Jie had some progress in his research on genetic poisons.
However, how to transfer that gene strand into the human body was a rather difficult topic. Generally speaking, when a gene strand enters the human body through the digestive tract, it will be completely broken down by the human digestive system and absorbed into the most basic nutritional molecules. It will not be able to play its due role!
As for the direct injection method, it was a little difficult to implement, and it was very likely to leave a flaw and cause some unnecessary trouble.
"I can't find a perfect solution at the moment, so I'll slowly study it. Revenge isn't in a hurry.”
Jie flapped his wings and dashed into the villa.
Liu Yan should have already prepared breakfast and was waiting for Jie to eat with her. After living for two months, Liu Yan had gotten used to Jie eating the same food as humans. She would make an extra portion for Jie for every meal. Liu Yan wasn't surprised by Jie's transformation.
Time flew by, and another month passed.
Jie's feathers grew longer. When he spread his wings, they could completely cover his entire body. The feathers on his tail were also more than a foot long, enough to adjust his direction when flying.
At night, a light breeze brushed Jie's hair on the peach tree in the garden.
Almost at the next moment, a few whistling sounds could be heard in the distance, and a gust of wind raged. Although Jiang Prefecture was not as windy as the capital, with dust filling the sky in spring, there was still strong weather in late spring. As the wind blew, Jie's feathers were sent flying. At this moment, Jie's eyes were like lightning. He suddenly kicked the tree with his claws and soared into the sky. His wings spread out with a 'puff' sound. Borrowing the wind, he soared straight up…
