Lou Cheng stood there, repeating his words at the beginning to torture himself.
The reason why he fought was not something he said casually, nor was it something he did on impulse, nor was it a choice he made under the pressure of external forces without knowing his true thoughts.
According to what his master said just now,
"Are you willing to sacrifice your life for this? Are you willing to die for this generosity? Are you willing to suffer for this for decades? "
"Of course, I'm not asking you to do it now. We're not like the Buddhist Zen Sect, which focuses on epiphany and can do it immediately after understanding it. Just like the Iron Army, when they first understood why they were fighting, they just 'understood'. It was impossible for them to be willing to sacrifice themselves for it on the spot. Only through experience, practice, and hammering, could they sublimate their 'understanding' into ideas and into perseverance. Only then could they do things that ordinary people find inconceivable."
"This is also the reason why many Dan stage martial artists are stagnant. They think that once they find the will of martial arts and the source of power, they can do it once and for all. As a result, they are gradually influenced by all kinds of temptations and forget their initial spirit. They can't persevere, let alone sublimate to the level that I mentioned before."
The Long March was indeed a retreat. However, as the saying goes, it is hard to find a general who can win a battle, but it is also hard to find a general who can keep the army in order despite defeat.
"A defeated army is easily defeated" is the truth proven by thousands of years of practice. When winning, morale can be maintained by hope, wealth, honor, military discipline, and religious beliefs. However, when defeat comes, all of these often become useless. Escaping is instinct, hiding is instinct, and staying away from danger is also instinct.
There are very few commanders who can keep the army in order for dozens or hundreds of miles when they are defeated and chased. However, under the circumstances of being chased and intercepted from all sides and the environment is extremely bad, the army actually persisted for more than 20,000 miles without dispersing or collapsing!
Not only that, but they had also condensed a steel-like will. This was definitely not something that could be achieved by just going to a certain place and living a good life. The only explanation was that everyone had the same desire. Everyone knew what they were fighting for and how much they were willing to pay for it.
There must be a kind of spirit shining and connecting heaven and earth!
"Then what am I fighting for?" "Why should I face the difficulties and dangers of the road of martial arts?" Lou Cheng was lost in thought.
The thirst for victory?
No, I would feel joy from victory and pain from defeat, but I wouldn't be willing to pay too great a price for it. Not only would I be willing to die, I wouldn't even be willing to be crippled. There would be duels again and again, and even if I lost, I could always try again. But in a battle of life and death, no one would be willing to die. It was a passive choice.
Pure love for martial arts? The yearning to reach the peak of martial arts?
No, I do like martial arts very much. But before I picked up the Jindan, I didn't think it would be a big deal if I couldn't practice martial arts. After I picked up the Jindan, I only had a little more longing for the future. I had a little more hope for becoming a Mighty One with physical invulnerability and getting a title in the future. Just longing and hope.
Could they earn a lot of wealth and improve their social status?
No, these were very good, but one had to be alive and healthy to enjoy them. Similarly, not to mention dying generously, he wasn't even willing to bear being crippled!
"Then why did I start learning martial arts?" Lou Cheng recalled the past and asked himself blankly.
The answer was very simple, and it made him want to laugh.
It was purely to get close to Yan Zheke, to woo the girl he had been secretly in love with for a long time …
I'm such a vulgar person … Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed. He suddenly remembered the anticipation, nervousness, and lack of confidence at that time. Then, more images came to his mind.
When leaving the villa area, the eagerness to walk into Yan Zheke's house openly; The sweetness of one holding a wok of fried rice, the other weighing the vegetables, and finally enjoying it side by side;
The inner strength that drove him to Zhengque County without regard for anything else in the heavy rain;
The certainty of dreaming of the future together and planning their lives together;
The tacit understanding of giving each other rings and promising each other a lifetime of solemnity and joy;
In the hotel room, when he woke up in the morning, Ke hooked her arms around his neck and asked for breakfast like an old married couple;
The torture of enduring all kinds of torture, the exhaustion of the Tremor massage, the surprise of having a kiss mark on his mouth after he fell asleep;
The excitement of their first kiss and the feeling of his heart beating violently under the street lights beside Weishui Lake;
The surprise of Ke taking the initiative to reach out her hand and the memory of the first time they held each other's hands but lost their direction;
Hearing Ke's soft but honest words of fear and apprehension, he felt pity and moved; the nervousness and uneasiness after the confession, and the ecstasy and brilliance after witnessing the reply of "Let me be happy for five minutes first …"
The excitement of receiving Ke's blessing call on his birthday made him want to roar twice;
The warmth of the new year on New Year's Eve when they listened to each other's breathing;
The satisfaction of the first cheer in the Warrior Sage Challenge Tournament from the girl he loved and the burst of strength because of it!
Because they were in the honeymoon period, there were expectations every day, endless topics to talk about and endless joy to feel. Although Lou Cheng liked to collect and record the traces of the past, he didn't have the time or thought to reminisce about it. Until now, when the memories flashed, he realized that he and Yan Zheke had been through so much, and his feelings in his heart had changed a lot.
This was like the tempering and sublimation of the martial arts will that his master had mentioned. In the beginning, he admired Ke because of her looks and her legendary good character. She was the perfect girl in his imagination. Therefore, when he confessed to her, he didn't dare to say that he loved her. It seemed that he didn't have the courage to say it. He only said that he liked her, very much.
But now, after merging with the past bit by bit, into his memory, flesh and blood, into his life, Lou Cheng suddenly felt that he really fell in love with Yan Zheke. He fell in love with the girl who was willing to communicate with him, fell in love with the girl who was sometimes more rational, and fell in love with the "Coach Yan" who was soft on the outside but tough on the inside.
At this moment, his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions because of those scenes. His heart was filled with all kinds of feelings, and he was willing to challenge everything for this beautiful feeling!
From this to the other, the little touches hidden in his memory were all clear.
That was the white hair of his father who gave up his dignity and ran around tirelessly.
That was his unspoken and silent love.
That was his mother's long-winded words full of concern.
That was the bitterness that she struggled to maintain by setting up a street stall.
That was the lie that they "didn't like to eat meat".
That was the love that they had given over and over again!
Lou Cheng's eyes were suddenly wet, and his heart was overflowing with energy. He vaguely understood what he wanted and what he wanted to do.
Protect!
This is the life that I want to protect with everything I have!
To protect is not to protect, but to make myself better and better, so that the people I love can also be better and better, so that they don't suffer pain and danger!
Lou Cheng took out his mobile phone, logged into QQ, entered the collection, and clicked on the first voice message.
A soft, clear, and familiar voice echoed in his ears.
"Lou Cheng! Lou Cheng! Lou Cheng, you can do it! "
Lou Cheng, you can do it … He listened to it over and over again, and the corners of his mouth opened little by little. Finally, he glanced at the ring on his left hand, rubbed it, and quietly closed his eyes, feeling the surging and turbulent power in his body.
For them, I am willing to face difficulties and not afraid of danger!
For them, I dare to challenge uncertainty and disregard myself!
He put away his mobile phone, and once again got into a fighting stance.
Bang, bang, bang. Seabed Quake, Mountain Smash Quake, one move after another. During this process, he only felt that his heart was filled with the emotions just now, and the power just now. It seemed that there were no other distracting thoughts, clear and transparent, both inside and outside.
Once the heart was clear, the mind was right. His spirit seemed to penetrate through his whole body, reaching every detail, and vaguely controlling them. With the influence of the Internal Training Method and the medicinal effect of the medicinal soup, he penetrated the strength, making his muscles, bones, and joints crackle.
This was very similar to the state of great success in meditation, but Lou Cheng only maintained it for a few minutes before he lost the feeling of having the power in his heart.
His martial will was to protect. It came from the bits and pieces of his daily life, from the various feelings and emotions he had accumulated in the past. There was no need for him to ask for it, nor did he need to go through any arduous process to understand and discover it. However, he still had to polish and temper this martial will. He had to put this martial will into practice and then strengthen it through practical experiences. It was just like how there were definitely many people who felt that they loved their parents and family, but there were relatively few who could truly persevere in doing so.
However, in any case, Lou Cheng questioned his heart for the first time, found the initial source of his power, and understood his martial arts will.
Whoever dares to hurt the people I love, whoever dares to destroy my beauty, I am willing to fight against them at all costs!
He exhaled, overjoyed, and took out his mobile phone to call his mother.
"Hello, Cheng, why are you suddenly calling me? Are you not coming back for dinner again? Are you not coming back to sleep at night? "Qi Fang's voice suddenly rose.
Lou Cheng's eyes were hot, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? I'm just, just … "
He was going to say that he suddenly missed her and wanted to give her a massage. But when the words came to his mouth, he knew that his mother would definitely be frightened and suspect that something had happened to him. So, in the end, he just played it down and said, "I just suddenly felt like eating fried eel."
"You child, you should have said so earlier. At this time, alas, I'll go to the market to have a look." Qi Fang answered grumpily, but she still agreed.
After hanging up, Lou Cheng called his father again.
"Hello, Cheng, what's up?" Lou Zhisheng asked in confusion.
Lou Cheng lowered his head and smiled. "Dad, I remember that you have finished your Ningshui Daqu original-proof wine, right?"
"Yes, you have connections? Don't bother your friends too much. It's okay if you can't get it. "Lou Zhisheng smiled.
He remembered that he had made original-proof wine during the Spring Festival.
Lou Cheng felt that his father wanted it but didn't want to waste his favor, so he smiled and said,
"Don't worry, it's easy!"
With his current social circle, it couldn't be easier to make the Ningshui Daqu original-proof wine!
"Okay." Lou Zhisheng hung up the phone and couldn't help but hum a song.
My son is becoming more and more filial!
After calling his parents, Lou Cheng's expression became gentler and he called Yan Zheke with a smile.
Yan Zheke was being interrogated by her three best friends in the room when she suddenly heard her phone ring. She picked it up and answered the call in surprise and astonishment, "Cheng?"
"Ke, I think I found my own martial arts will …" Lou Cheng didn't hide his joy.
"Really?" Yan Zheke seemed to be happier than him. She was rarely excited. "What is it?"
Her abnormality immediately attracted the attention of Gu Shuang and others. Except for the colder Xing Jingjing, the other two winked at each other, believing that it was Lou Cheng calling.
"Protect." Lou Cheng said concisely.
Yan Zheke looked up and asked him thoughtfully, "You're right.
"Protect?"
Lou Cheng didn't explain the specific meaning of protection. Looking at the sunlight outside, he shouted with a slightly red face,
"Ke …"
"Yes?" Yan Zheke didn't understand.
Lou Cheng cleared his throat and laughed in a low voice,
"I love you."
