Death
Today is a special day. What's special is that today is my last concert and also the last day of my life. Hehe, perhaps no one would believe me if I told them now, but it doesn't matter whether they believe me or not. As a martial artist, I still have confidence in this.
If I were to say that I was a martial artist, perhaps most people wouldn't believe it. Although I didn't want to boast, that was the truth. I was very famous, very famous. Being famous all over the world wasn't enough to describe my reputation. Today, I, who had lived for 120 years, was not only the most famous long-lived old man in the world, but also a top-notch music master. However, other than the closest few people, I'm afraid that only a few people knew that I was a martial artist. Because my old friends from the same generation have long left me.
" I am a martial artist. This is my definition of myself. The so-called internal energy in novels is too mystical. However, practicing martial arts to strengthen the body and longevity does exist. Martial artists are called practicing qi. They naturally live long lives.
Strictly speaking, I didn't have any teachers. Those who met extraordinary people and learned unique cultivation methods weren't fated with me. In fact, I was just an ordinary person. I lived the same life as ordinary people. I went to school, graduated, worked, and got married. My life before the age of 25 was as ordinary as ordinary people. The one thing that really changed me was also very helpless.
I remember that it was less than a year after I got married. I was 25 years old and my wife was 25 years old. My wife and I were taking a car back to my mother's house. In the end, we met a thief in the car. Perhaps the thief was not skilled enough and was discovered by my wife. During the struggle, the thief's three accomplices surrounded me. I was a small citizen and was timid and afraid of trouble. My wife was also an ordinary person, but she was usually fierce at home. In the end, I was taught a lesson. Because there were many people, I did not dare to fight back. His wife was stabbed by the other party during the fight. The stab was not too serious and only injured her arm.
This kind of thing was really very helpless. This was just the sorrow of the common people. Other than hatred in their hearts, there was nothing else. What happened after that was very bitter. My wife was injured. When she heard the news, her family rushed over and gave me a good beating. The outcome was really unexpected. One of my legs was broken. Then, my wife personally carried it out and slapped me three times on the ground. She even gave me three words-good-for-nothing!
Oh right, maybe you'll ask me where my family went? Don't you care? Hehe, I'm an orphan, an orphan with no family or support.
What happened after that was very simple. My minor injury became a major injury and I was hospitalized. Although I was an orphan, I was good at my studies and had an iron rice bowl as a civil servant. Perhaps this was the reason why my wife's family supported my wife in marrying me.
After experiencing such a thing, my self-esteem was trampled on the ground. I divorced my wife. As for my wife's name, to be honest, I had long forgotten it. My change began after the divorce.
I don't have children, so I have less burden. After work, I started to exercise. I learned all kinds of martial arts, Xingyi Taiji, etc.
I don't know if I'm talented or if I'm a rare martial arts genius, but no matter what kind of martial arts I learn, I can master it as soon as I learn it. The speed of my improvement is beyond my imagination.
In just three months, the master who taught me boxing was no longer my opponent. I kept looking for famous teachers and even learned the hard qigong in the army. A year later, I could already break three bricks with my bare hands.
I have truly immersed myself in martial arts and fully experienced the joy within. However, it has always been a regret for me to not have a great teacher.
He continued to work for three years. He felt that his progress in martial arts was slow. After he could not stand it anymore, he resigned and embarked on the path of finding a famous teacher.
I've been to Shaolin Temple and met the martial monks of Shaolin Temple. I've been to famous mountains and rivers to look for reclusive Taoists. I've practiced Tai Chi and learned Xingyi. In order to improve my strength, I've even fought with local ruffians. During this process, countless times of wandering between life and death made my strength advance by leaps and bounds. Unknowingly, my name became famous in a special circle.
I don't know when it started, but I never lost again. Although I trained every day, I felt that my strength could no longer improve. Helplessly, I returned to my hometown that I should have been familiar with, but was rather unfamiliar with, and began my quiet life of hiding my identity. That year, I was thirty-six years old.
In the past few years, I had been seeking skills outside and had even fought countless times. In order to personally experience the feeling of life and death, I had even participated in underground combat competitions and suffered countless injuries. However, at the same time, I had also met many people and helped them solve countless problems. It was also because of this that I had a huge sum of money in my bank account that I would never be able to earn in my entire life. With this money, it was enough for me to live a peaceful life in the future. However, at this moment, I did not care about any of this. What I care about is how to improve my strength and surpass that invisible bottleneck that exists.
I was really obsessed with practicing martial arts. I didn't dare to deny the existence of so-called internal energy and true qi. However, in my understanding, the so-called qi did exist. However, it wasn't just an abstract and idealistic feeling. Of course, when one reached a certain stage, the force could be sensed. Qigong originated from this.
In normal martial arts, tempering one's bones, muscles, and skin could make one's body stronger and more agile. If one did not have a special method to break through the coolness of the body, the so-called ability to move one's mind as freely as one's arms and fingers would already reach its limit. In such a situation, the king of soldiers or some powerful special forces could achieve it.
As the body continued to train, some people with more talent and opportunities, along with special breathing methods, gradually mastered the movement of the muscles in their entire body. With some special methods of thinking, they could mobilize the mysterious Qi in their bodies and control the muscles to release power and destructive power that far exceeded the limits of the human body. In the beginning, it was only the waist, abdomen, hands, and feet that were the most frequently used places to truly combine that trace of energy. Slowly, as experience accumulated, it reached the level of control over the entire body. I don't know how many people like this existed in the country. Let alone the control of the entire body's muscles, I didn't know many people who could freely control the waist, abdomen, hands, and feet. And these people were all famous martial artists.
As for me, all the muscles in my body, except for a few muscles in my head, were under my control. I even had a preliminary grasp of the method to control my heartbeat. With my unique breathing method, I could slow down my breathing to more than ten times per minute. If I used all my strength, I could directly overturn a two-ton truck. Of course, the result was that my arm could not withstand it and directly fractured.
Because my strength was unable to increase for a long time, I slowly began to become frustrated. Compared to the past, my progress was so fast that I advanced by leaps and bounds. After I returned home, including the two years before, when I was 40 years old, I finally exploded after six years of not making any progress. I crazily vented my anger on the training stances in the courtyard. There were a total of ten training stances, and they were shattered by me one by one. Just as I felt that my heart was getting more and more frustrated, and I was about to explode... A low but bright piano sound came from the courtyard next door.
At that time, I was stunned. I felt that my heartstrings were trembling with the sound of the piano. I didn't know the name of the piano piece, but the tune gradually rose from low to high, and the notes gradually increased in speed. The melodious melody made me stop all my movements in an instant. A warmth filled my heart and slowly dissipated my irritable anger.
After that, I fell madly in love with the piano and learned the name of the piano piece-Canon. It was a simple but beautiful piece.
I began to search for all kinds of piano music to suppress my rising restlessness. I knew that this was a change in my state of mind. It was a mental restlessness caused by physical reasons, but gradually, the effect of piano music became smaller and smaller, and it became more and more difficult to suppress my restlessness. I clearly knew that I couldn't continue and that I had to calm my heart, but I became irritable, angry, and even began to become bloodthirsty. After taking various measures and methods to no avail, I listened to the advice of a psychiatrist. I started learning piano.
Just like that, my piano career went out of control. Perhaps it was because of my martial arts training that I was able to control the muscles in my body. I was more familiar with the piano than people who had played the piano for a lifetime. Gradually, I realized that when I played the piano, I adjusted my breathing to the rhythm of the piano, which actually gave my body extraordinary benefits.
Not only did I quickly gain control over all the muscles in my body, I could even feel that during the process of playing the piano, all the muscles in my body began to resonate and vibrate. This vibration extended to all the acupoints in my body, and my internal organs and bones also resonated with it. When that faint feeling truly turned into an obvious vibration, when all nine acupoints truly resonated and vibrated at once, my entire body's physique experienced an extraordinary improvement.
Just like that, I continued practicing and playing the piano. In the blink of an eye, I was already 120 years old. In these years, my body was strong and my mind was forgetful. I felt that I was always at the peak. I only needed an hour of sleep every day to maintain my exuberant energy.
Every time something happened, it was very mysterious. I would have a feeling that something was going to happen. If it happened once or twice, it could be considered a coincidence, but if it happened often, it would be a kind of prophecy. Recently, I had a premonition that my life was coming to an end. It was a very sudden feeling, but it was also very real. I knew that my martial arts cultivation had not reached a higher level, and the potential of my body had been developed to the end. If I could break through, I might be able to extend my life for a few more years. However, breaking through was not such a simple matter. I had already reached my current realm for more than 70 years, and I was already satisfied.
Looking at the audience below the stage, he caressed his old friend who had accompanied him for decades. Hehe, goodbye. Today's last performance, really the last performance. Old friend, I'm afraid you're tired too. Let's cooperate one last time and say goodbye to this world!
As his thoughts drifted, the melodious sound of the zither rang out…
It was as if the zither music was still echoing in my ears. I smiled at the twelve people in the room, old and young. The 12 of them are my disciples. The oldest of them is already 70 years old, and the youngest is only 18 years old. They are my pride. I have been lonely all my life. Although they are my disciples, they are no different from my children. They are orphans like me, so I have always treated them as my own children. Although each of them is an internationally renowned music master, in my heart, they are all my family.
I scanned the faces of the twelve people one by one. Other than the youngest disciple, they were all preparing for performances or attending various occasions around the world every day. If I hadn't forced them to come, they might not be able to gather together at this time.
I gently closed my eyes. I could feel the life force in my body flowing away at an extremely fast speed. That's right, my time had come.
"Hehe, everyone is finally here. I called everyone together today to bid farewell to everyone!”
When I opened my eyes, I thought that there was still enough time to make arrangements for my funeral, but I didn't expect that my life would flow away at such a shocking speed. I could feel that I only had enough time to say a few words to my children. Fortunately, I had already left my last words to them. I didn't have the slightest fear of death in my heart. I carefully swept my eyes over my disciples and continued,
"There is no banquet in the world that will not end. It is time to say goodbye to this banquet in the world. Cultivate well. Master has no time or opportunity to break through to the next level. However, if possible, I hope that you can surpass me. I really want to know what kind of world the next level is. No matter if you are willful or mischievous, bury me in Green Mountain after I die today. I'm afraid of fire…hehe…in this life…the only regret is that I've never been in love…don't laugh at me…no…shame…goodbye, children!”
The twelve people around him looked at him in disbelief. What was their master saying? Die?
This was impossible! This was impossible…
They watched as the god-like man slowly closed his eyes. His voice gradually faded away. Finally, he let out a long sigh and lowered his head with a smile on his face!
I could clearly feel all of my life force flowing away like water. It didn't flow out of my body, but rushed into the center of my brows. A strange feeling rose in my heart. At that moment, it was as if everything around me was reflected in my heart. At first, it was very blurry, but slowly, it became clear. The range of my perception rapidly shrank, and in an instant, it shrank to the limit. At first, it was over 100 meters in size, but in the blink of an eye, it shrank to the size of a hair. A speck of dust became extremely large. Then, I saw the bacteria on the speck of dust, the molecules within the bacteria, the electrons within the molecules, and the finer structures within the electrons. Finally, I felt an indescribable abstract feeling like a strange string. I, who had shrunk to the limit, slammed into the string. The string was plucked, and as the string plucked, a strange darkness spread out. In an instant, I rushed into the darkness.
"Wow!"
A powerful cry sounded. I was born!
