Chapter 830: I am not the whole
When Fang Zhuoying heard Chen Chuan point out her flaws in fighting skills, she didn't deny it or feel embarrassed. Instead, she asked earnestly, "Mr. Chen, please give me some advice!"
She knew very well that people who reached the level of a fighter had an extraordinary understanding and insight into fighting techniques.
The characteristic of the Wujian School is to strive to find loopholes in oneself, to find them in debates, in daily practice, and in confrontation. No matter how high a level one reaches, one can implement this set of ideas, so she welcomes others to point out her shortcomings.
Chen Chuanchuan said, "It's right to examine one's own weaknesses and constantly correct existing shortcomings. However, whether this principle is fully adhered to in practice requires countless practices and trials. The question is whether the corrections are truly one's own weaknesses. How to distinguish and judge is the key."
Fang Zhuoying nodded in agreement. She could understand what Chen Chuan said. As long as a fighter's level seemed to have improved on the surface, then in his opinion, he must have corrected his mistakes and loopholes.
This may seem like nothing wrong, but some loopholes are not visible at the moment, which means that what you think you are making up for may just be the feedback generated by your own eagerness for quick success, and may not necessarily be helpful for future growth.
In fact, the predecessors of the Wujian School also had a set of theories on this, but how to grasp it was limited by the level of the predecessors themselves. They only had a set of theories but no specific methods, so even she herself could not explain it clearly and could only feel it vaguely.
In fact, this itself can be said to be a shortcoming, but now after hearing Chen Chuan's words, she had a strong feeling that perhaps the opportunity to make up for this loophole has come.
Chen Chuanshuo said, "What is beneficial? What is disadvantageous? Different practitioners have different views and answers, and there is no way to unify them. I believe that the older generation knows better than the younger generation, but there is a way to clearly let them know how changes in certain aspects of their practice will affect them."
Fang Zhuoying looked at Chen Chuan and asked sincerely, "Mr. Chen, what should I do?"
Chen Chuan said: "It's very simple, use gap to counter gap, and use space to counter non-space." He then talked about a set of Vipassana breathing method that was modified from the breathing through the Xiqiao.
After hearing this, Fang Zhuoying immediately realized that this was a breathing method that allowed people to deeply examine their own shortcomings.
When the alienated tissues in the body progress and evolve in a certain direction, there will be other feedback in other parts. This is telling you that if you do these things, it will definitely have an impact in other places. There is no such thing as eliminating loopholes, but the loopholes are constantly changing.
After knowing this, please ask teachers or improve yourself, and judge the path you want to take based on your own needs, rather than simply and blindly focusing on so-called eliminating loopholes.
There is no such thing as a Wujian method in the world. To fill one deficiency, another must be missing. This fills a link that the Wujian School cannot complete and cannot be specifically explained.
It can be said that a new path has been opened up.
Fang Zhuoying felt genuine admiration for this. Just by watching the students fight, and perhaps learning a little from Yu Zhen, Chen Chuan had instantly deduced all this, truly worthy of the title of a martial artist.
But in reality, not every fighter can do this.
Chen Chuan had deeply experienced the skills demonstrated by Yu Zhen during the memory transmission, and knew the characteristics of this fighting tradition, as well as the Zhou Yuan Jin method he practiced, which allowed him to experience and observe its flaws and strengths without any hindrance.
If someone else were to take over, they might be able to make up for it, but there would definitely be a lot of changes. It is impossible to solve the problem with just a simple breathing method and still fit it perfectly into the original techniques and theories.
That notebook was given to the teacher by his mother, and he was using it as a gift in return.
Fang Zhuoying said, "Mr. Chen, I don't know how long you will stay in Balktu. I hope I can entertain you for a while longer."
Chen Chuan said, "I will stay in the Bessa Khanate for a few days, but not too long." He put the notebook away carefully, stood up, and bowed slightly. "Thank you for the advice, senior. I will take my leave today."
After Fang Zhuoying stood up, he returned the greeting with a solemn expression.
Because Chen Chuan didn't want to reveal his identity, he didn't let Fang Zhuoying see him off. He walked out of the tent alone, and when he got outside, he walked towards the mercenary team.
But at this moment, suddenly someone shouted loudly, and the crowd also shouted. Then he saw that a large group of people around him all lay down and touched the ground with their foreheads, including the people in the mercenary team.
All these people are locals of Balktu.
Then we saw a thing that was constantly spewing colorful smoke. It looked like a blimp on the surface, but it was more like an elliptical hot air balloon flying in the distance. There was a blue boat-shaped pod hanging underneath. When it came over, the people lying on the ground were motionless.
Chen Chuan stared upward until the creature flew away. Then he heard a shout from the side of the road, and the people stood up. The person in charge came up and explained, "This is their patron saint, the fighter who is still in the central city of Balktu."
At this time, someone from the mercenary team shouted at them twice.
Chen Chuan asked, "What did he say?"
The person in charge said: "He said that sir saw their patron saint as soon as he arrived, and wished you good luck." But he felt a little disdainful in his heart. The person in front of me is a fighter, does he still need your blessings?
Chen Chuan turned his head and said thank you to the team member. The man obviously understood his words and raised the gun in his hand to him happily.
Chen Chuan took another look at the flying object flying away, but he knew that it was no coincidence that this person appeared here. For him to come here, the Dashun government must have communicated with the upper echelons of the Besa Khanate in advance, especially the other side's fighters could not have been unprepared.
This is the other party showing that they know he is coming, so they come over to say hello to him.
He thought about it and decided that now that his work was done, he could move on to something else. He asked the person in charge to send a telegram to find the contact person. He didn't need to hide anything from this person because this person was equivalent to putting his identity as the General Affairs Bureau out in the open.
The person in charge was very efficient. After waiting for half an hour, the contact person rushed over. He greeted Chen Chuan with a little awe and said, "Mr. Chen, I have been ordered to come here to explain the situation to you."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "I've heard the general story before. It's said that something sent from the Nordland Northern Alliance was seized by the opposition forces when it passed through here?"
The contact person said: "It's like this. Due to some special circumstances, the goods were not transported by air, but by land. It went smoothly at first, but problems arose when it arrived in the Bessa Khanate.
Although the territory of the Besa Khanate appears to be relatively large, its population is relatively small. Since the new era, only three fighters have been born. Thanks to the strong support of our Dashun government, it has not been annexed by the Paranio faith region.
One of these three fighters was more inclined towards the Western Continent and was squeezed out by the other two. The other one was a staunch localist. He was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Besa Khanate was too close to our Dashun, and he often had complaints about us.
This time, after the items were shipped over, they were being looked after by a fighter close to us, so things should have gone smoothly. However, this one directly seized the items and demanded that we, Dashun, agree to certain conditions before returning them. The fighter close to us didn't want to argue with this one, so he wanted to resolve the matter through negotiation and asked us to give him some time. So, the matter remained stuck there for two months."
Chen Chuan understood that fighters were indeed unwilling to fight easily, not to mention that both of them were fighters from their own country. If the person who was inclined towards the Dashun government took action, not to mention the personal losses, his reputation would definitely be bad if it got out.
But the patience of the Dashun government is definitely limited. I think even if I don’t come this time, they will definitely send someone to deal with this matter in the end.
He asked, "What is that thing?"
The contact person said, "A fragment of a jade sceptre was taken away by a relative of the previous imperial family and placed in the offering hall of the then Western Continent Emperor as a treasure from the Eastern Continent."
Chen Chuan suddenly thought of something at this moment.
"Jiuhegui?"
The contact person nodded.
“It’s this thing.”
Chen Chuan immediately understood. No wonder the Dashun government wanted to retrieve this thing. During the first old dynasty of the East Continent, the nine continents were united and the world was in turmoil. When they went on stage to offer sacrifices, white jade appeared in the sky. Then, lightning chiseled it, and gold and fire forged it, thus creating a jade sceptre that symbolized power.
But just over three hundred years later, this thing was smashed in a palace coup. It is said that it broke into six pieces. From then on, any old dynasty that got this jade would use it to declare its legitimacy.
It is now generally believed that this thing should be a very high-level and special relic, which will become active and calm in the alternation of cold and quiet periods and changing periods. When it was smashed, it happened to be the beginning of a long cold and quiet period in the past history.
The contact person said, "After the establishment of the Dashun Kingdom, we negotiated with Nordland several times and offered various favorable terms in exchange for this item. This matter went back and forth for over thirty years, with many obstacles along the way. Nordland finally agreed to return it last year..."
After listening to his explanation, Chen Chuan learned that there were many objections within Nordland to returning this thing. This thing had encountered many bumps along the way. In short, the situation was very complicated. Being stuck here could be regarded as a continuation of this matter.
He said, “Where is the thing now?”
The contact person immediately took out a map and pointed a few times at a circled area.
"Here, we have informants and undercover agents inside the Bessa Khanate. According to intelligence, the fighter is staying here, in Shahlan, in the windy desert."
Chen Chuan took a look. Given his status, staying for another day would likely result in a leak. So this matter couldn't be delayed. The sooner it was resolved, the better. He made a prompt decision and said, "Okay, I'll go over and get the things back."
