Chapter 554: The Third Style

Xu Dao fell from the sky, found a hilltop, chose a position with a good view, and then stared at the river for a long time without moving.

What is the magnificent view of heaven and earth? This is it!

The sun sets and rises again, and so on, Xu Dao actually watched it here for five consecutive days!

When the sun rose in the morning of the sixth day, Xu Dao, who had been sitting cross-legged for five days without moving at all, finally stood up slowly.

It was just that when his body stretched, there was a faint sound of water waves roaring. Although this sound was covered by the sound of the rushing water in the Tongtian Dusk outside, Xu Dao could hear it clearly.

He casually opened a fist frame, and the sound of the rushing water suddenly became violent, like thunder, and it echoed with the sound of the outside world.

A terrifying shadow of the Dusk appeared behind Xu Dao.

The terrifying fist intent was like the river in the Tongtian Dusk in front of him, rushing and endless.

A punch was delivered, like a river bursting its banks, the river water was raging and rampant. It was as if someone had lifted up the Tongtian Dushu and then smashed it hard.

The whole mountain was shocked, but fortunately Xu Dao stopped in time, and the surging fist intention gradually subsided.

The third boxing method has taken shape!

This style is still not complete, because the Dushu shown in his fist intention is only the Tongtian Dushu in his imagination, because the Tongtian Dushu he saw is just a very inconspicuous section of this river.

If you can't see the whole picture, its meaning naturally can't fully show the true meaning of the Dushu, and if this fist wants to be perfect, it can only be possible after he sees the whole picture of the Tongtian Dushu and supplements its spirit and form.

This makes Xu Dao both happy and regretful!

It is not a simple thing to see the whole Dushu. How long and how big is the Tongtian Dushu, in fact, even now, he has no clear concept in his mind. And it is even more difficult to see its full picture. Even walking along the Tongtian Grand Canal is not an easy task.

However, he was very satisfied with the gains of this trip. His original intention was just to see this legendary river and broaden his horizons, but he did not expect to suddenly fall into enlightenment.

This opportunity naturally cannot be missed, so this boxing method was created.

Xu Dao's current boxing method has long surpassed the martial arts itself. It is no longer a simple life-and-death fighting technique. It has begun to break away from the scope of skills and move towards the level of Tao.

He stopped practicing the original martial arts skills a long time ago, but replaced them with boxing. Practicing boxing is practicing martial arts. The process of his current understanding of boxing is actually creating his own martial arts practice method.

In fact, not only him, as long as a martial artist reaches the master level, he will basically break away from the original practice method and create his own practice method.

However, they still stay at the simple level of skills, just like a cultivator who practices "Health Preservation Kung Fu" and comprehends and creates a more suitable "Changchun Health Preservation Kung Fu"!

Only in this way can one be called a master, establish a school, and pass on skills to disciples.

Xu Dao is similar to what they did, but not the same. He is more radical and directly integrates skills into Taoism. Practicing skills is practicing Taoism, and from then on, skills and Taoism are one.

However, this kind of practice probably cannot be spread on a large scale, because it requires too much understanding, and ordinary people can't understand it at all!

A Bao can, but that's because her innate understanding is at the top level. If even she can't do it, then only Xu Dao can do this.

Xu Dao closed his fist and stretched his waist. He felt comfortable all over. This trip was complete and it was time to set off for Xijing.

Although there is still some time before the medicine refining competition, the journey is not short. He still needs to get there as soon as possible, so as not to miss this event.

The Xijing Dao Medicine Refining Competition is actually a competition, but it is better to say that it is an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the blessed land and cave heaven.

However, this opportunity is not available to everyone. Only those who are proficient in the art of alchemy or have outstanding talents in alchemy are qualified to enter.

This is why the quota for the alchemy competition is so precious. If not, there is no need to limit the quota. Anyone who wants to participate can participate.

After all, the number of people who can enter the cave blessing land each time it is opened is fixed. If a person who is not proficient in alchemy is allowed to enter, it is actually a waste of quota.

Xu Dao is still looking forward to this alchemy competition. For him who already has a blessed land, he is also very curious about what other caves or blessed lands look like. Moreover, since he has agreed to Nangong Nei's request, he naturally needs to do his best.

Whether it can be done is one thing, and whether it is done or not is another.

...

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month.

During this month, Xu Dao traveled day and night, crossing a long distance, and rushed from Tai'an County to Xijing City.

As a secondary capital, Xijing governs six counties: Tai'an, Xining, Fufeng, Qingchuan, Ningyuan, and Langya.

The original intention of establishing this city was because the territory of Dali was too large, and the power of the central government could not radiate to the distant western region of Dali.

As a secondary capital, Xijing established a small central government to govern the six western counties of Dali on behalf of the emperor and the central government, and maintain the stability of these six counties. Therefore, this place actually represents the imperial power of Dali.

However, this is only the most ideal situation. The reality is that Xijing has long become a decoration. None of the six counties under its jurisdiction can be controlled. They all act independently. Although these six counties are nominally required to obey Xijing's orders, the orders from Xijing have long become decorations.

All the county governors were powerful officials with great power. They would implement the decrees from Xijing if they liked them, and throw away the decrees they didn't like as toilet paper.

They obey orders but not announcements. No, some people can't even obey orders!

Their attitude towards Xijing is that they don't resist openly, but they are too lazy to obey and ignore them directly!

Therefore, the power radiation range of Xijing now actually only has one Xijing city.

In this way, there is no big difference between Xijing city and a county city in essence.

However, as a secondary capital, Xijing is much larger and more spectacular than ordinary county cities, because it is built strictly according to the specifications of the imperial capital. The city wall is as high as 98 zhang, which is only one zhang lower than the imperial capital.

Xu Dao thought a long time ago that if even a county city is so spectacular, what kind of scene should it be as the imperial capital of Dali? Now that he sees Xijing city, he roughly knows.

Of course, there is still a gap between Xijing and the real imperial capital, and this gap cannot be summarized by the fact that the city wall is one zhang lower.

As the real center of Dali, the imperial capital is naturally not comparable to Xijing, where the government orders cannot leave the city.

Whether it is population or prosperity, there is a huge gap between the two.

But a glimpse of the whole picture can still reveal a lot.
