Chapter 21 Lay a solid foundation

These days, I have studied with Master Ma and Master Chen, and I have been familiar with Taijiquan, and some of the moves and playing styles of Taiji have been integrated into his mind, since this can be melted, then crystal ball hypnosis and joint exercises are not impossible to fuse?

Moreover, both of them are very training for the sensitivity of the Howling Tribulation's skin, and if they can be fused, the effect will definitely be even better. Thinking of this, Xiao Tribulation was going to do it.

After discussing the ideas with Xiaolong, Xiaozheng began to experiment, failed many times at first, and then consulted Master Chen and Master Ma, under their guidance, finally made progress, and only then did he have today's results.

The crystal ball ran around Xiao Tribulation's body, and suddenly Xiao Tribulation felt a great force, which was hidden under his soft skin, and he felt that the skin was getting softer and softer, and that force was getting bigger and stronger.

A word crossed his mind.

"Flexibility is tough!"

Rise!

The muscles in Howling contracted suddenly, and then popped out again, bouncing the crystal ball into the air.

Then the "hoe" arched and grabbed again, and the crystal ball was directly scratched, but his hand was not scarred at all, only a few scratches, not even the skin.

This is the culmination of the horizontal refinement, the whole person is like a humanoid violent bear, no, it is ten times more terrible than the real brown bear, the real brown bear only brute force, unless the strength is great to a degree, "the strength is almost the Tao", otherwise it is difficult to deal with people with strength, skill and wisdom in the face of the Xiao Tribulation.

In the past, the power of the Howling Dragon may have been greater than that of the Howling Tribulation, but now that the growth of the Howling Tribulation has stopped, the power of the Howling Tribulation will definitely be greater than the strength of the Howling Dragon, unless he also breaks through.

"Your kung fu has been completed. ”

At this time, Master Ma and Master Chen came over, their faces were very surprised, and Master Ma said: "With your current anti-strike ability and attack power, you can participate in a national fighting competition, and it is no problem to take the top few, of course, the premise is not to use those actual combat tricks." ”

"It's just going to a world-class martial arts tournament, and with your physical fitness, you have a lot of advantages. Even with more actual combat experience, it is not too much of a problem to get a ranking. ”

"That's true, most of my kung fu is in this move, this move is full of actual combat power, but it is really not so easy to use in some ring matches, after all, this move is too lethal, just like the killing moves of some martial arts secret methods, the shot is either dead or injured. Xiao Zheng said.

"However, I didn't think about pursuing a career, I wanted to do research, to study the principles of how the human body can evolve through spiritual practice, and to study how to make people evolve. At the end of the next semester, after I was admitted to university, I was going to study a life science major and use some special equipment to do research. ”

"Even, open your own lab to do research. ”

"It's a good idea, it's a fair and honest one, and it's a dignified road. Lao Chen said.

"When I was young, I also wanted to practice martial arts and go professionally, and later I saw a player who was seriously injured on the field, even if he was treated in time, he fell into a major illness, and he coughed non-stop every day.

As soon as I think of this scene, I keep asking myself, why do you practice martial arts?"

"In ancient times, some people practiced martial arts to protect themselves and defend the country, but now we live in a safe and happy country, practicing martial arts is to become famous, for profit, this is not my real purpose. It's best for me to figure out that martial arts are practiced for physical fitness, for the inheritance of martial arts, not for those. ”

"Then, I practiced Tai Chi, and I have been practicing it for decades, and my body is great, with three bowls of rice at a meal, good teeth, and I can eat and sleep. ”

"I accepted a few apprentices, practiced Tai Chi every day, and taught the apprentices, this is life. ”

"Xiao Xiao, you have your own ideas, no matter how good it is, it's not those who are good at fighting, it's good to do research, and you can benefit mankind if you produce results. Lao Chen praised Xiao Zheng.

"You've won a prize. ”

At this time, Lao Chen tilted his head and said to Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, what about you, what are you practicing martial arts for?"

Xiaolong straightened his face and said: "I originally practiced martial arts in order to grow taller and surpass my brother, and then I thought and looked up information on my own, and understood that practicing martial arts can strengthen my body and make money professionally, but I know that making money is never the goal." ”

"Later, I chatted with my brother, and I talked about some of them, and he said what he thought, and I seemed to understand something, and then I saw some things later, and I always understood what I should practice martial arts for. ”

"It's not just for myself, I like sports since I was a child, I like martial arts when I grow up, the first time I came into contact with it, I liked it, and it was also for physical fitness, after all, practicing martial arts can make me healthier. ”

"For the sake of my family, I know that my family is in crisis, and it is very likely that the family will suffer from the danger of life, although I have my brother and my father to carry it, but I also want to share a little for them, at least I can't hold them back. ”

"Of course, in addition to the above, I also want to be a researcher like Xiao Zheng, practice martial arts every day, and study the rest of the time. If anything, I can say that I have contributed a little bit to the world. ”

······

On this day, Xiaolong was also like Xiaoxiao, when he practiced the crystal ball, he reached that realm, the realm of softness and rigidity, which was also the result of Xiaoxiao telling all his personal experience to Xiaolong.

Xiaolong felt a fierce force in his body, and then the skin on the surface of his body first contracted violently, and then bounced away, bouncing the crystal ball into the air, Xiaolong reached out again, held it, and with a slight force in his palm, the crystal ball shattered, and of course his hand was not injured in the slightest.

Seeing this, Master Ma and Master Chen also had to praise again, the talents of the two brothers are rare in the world, and they are modest and studious, and they will become the pillars of the country.

A month later.

In the courtyard, Lao Chen, Master Ma, Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Long stood in the middle, and Master Chen patted Xiao Zheng and Xiao Long on the shoulders and said: "It's been a month, you have gained a lot, your martial arts realm has been improved, and you have learned a craft, you can eat anywhere." ”

Xiao Zheng and Xiao Long bowed to the two masters and said, "Thank you Master Ma and Master Chen, not only have we gained these, but also a lot of lack of martial arts knowledge has been made up, which will be of great help to our future improvement." ”

"Haha, let's learn from each other, everyone has a good harvest, this month, we have basically perfected the use of the crystal ball. Master Ma said.

"We're going back to school, this time I took a month off, if I don't take the monthly exam, I'm afraid I'm going to be invited to tea by the head teacher and school leaders. Xiao Zheng said goodbye to the two.

This time, a month of study was a great improvement for both him and Xiaolong.

He used to systematically learn martial arts knowledge for only a month from Coach Oudeli, although he was very capable of learning, but after all, he only studied for a month, and Xiaolong was even more, he only studied from him, although he tried his best to teach, but after all, he was only a beginner, and he taught well like that.

This month's study has indeed laid a deeper foundation for them, and they have a deeper understanding of the spiritual and spiritual aspects of the Great Corpse Method, which is the only practice of the Great Corpse Method. I also knew the division of the realm of the Great Corpse Law.

The practice of this practice is divided into three realms. It is very easy to practice, as long as people sleep, it can not only make people rest better, but also stretch their muscles and bones, but it is extremely difficult to get started, it can be said that it is one in ten thousand, which means that only one person in ten thousand people can get started, and the others are just sleeping.

When you get started, you have initially stepped into the first layer of 'peace of mind', and when you reach this realm, sleeping every day is sleeping, and sleep refers to the large brainwave activity that will occur without sleep, that is, 'rough thinking'.

In this state, people will get enough rest, the quality of sleep is very good, only five or six hours a day, and during the day will also feel energetic and full of energy.

Over time, people's physical fitness and various functions will be strengthened, and they will become far beyond ordinary people.

All in all, the first layer of the big corpse method is to remove the gross thinking, that is, to remove the large brainwave activity, and only the small brainwave activity is left, that is, to enter the careful thinking.

The second layer of the big corpse method is to look like death but not death. That is to say, with the progress of cultivation, the gross thoughts when I sleep have completely disappeared, and now when I think about it, it seems to disappear completely, but when I say that it has completely disappeared, there is a trace of it, and I can't see the real form.

In Buddhist parlance, this is called 'non-thinking, non-thinking.' The meaning is similar to the previous one, that is, the idea is extremely subtle, and it is impossible to properly explain whether such an idea exists or does not exist, and this state is even more difficult to achieve.

The previous 'peace of mind' is one in a million, and now this second realm is one in a million, but just using this ratio to describe it, the actual situation can only be less.

In ancient times, it was only those Zen masters or Taoist masters who had cultivated extremely high to achieve enlightenment before they died. Even fewer people in modern society can reach that state.

The third layer is to think about the real disappearance, that is, the realm of the living dead, which Master Ma called 'the death of man and the god of life'.

In Zen Buddhism it is called Buddha heart, in Confucianism it is called benevolence, and in Taoism it is called Tao heart. In this state of mind, people's physical fitness will gradually improve, and the improvement is very large, so many years, Master Ma has only seen a few people who have reached this realm.

One of them is Zhang Manman's father, and he also speculated about the boss behind Typhon's training camp, and the other is coach Odeli, and even Odeli may have broken through to the fourth layer.

This level penetrates the appearance of me, people, sentient beings, time and space, and the spirit resonates with a certain truth in nature or the artistic conception of sunrise and sunset.

Master Ma said that he had never seen this kind of mental and psychological state, and he didn't know if such a person existed.

I also learned the meaning of 'ten impurities', which is the ancient practitioners' observing the various derottenness of the corpse after death.

There are ten kinds in total, expansive phase, bruising phase, pus decay phase, broken phase, food residue phase, chopping discrete phase, blood smearing phase, insect gathering phase, and bone phase.

So as to see through the impermanence of life and death, and no longer fear death.

This is also a form of meditation, which belongs to psychological suggestion in psychology.

In ancient India, that is, the Tianzhu side in Journey to the West, after death, people would be thrown into the Ganges River, and the corpses would swell, flow pus, grow maggots, and be eaten by fish or other aquatic animals, which was very terrifying and frightening.

But after watching a lot, I feel that death is like that, and I am no longer afraid to watch those things, and I am born with the mentality that life and death are the same thing. After continuous exploration, the latecomers created the meditation method of 'Ten Impurities'.

If you practice this meditation method, you will visualize the ten rotten forms of the corpse, and if you continue to meditate, you will gradually not be afraid of death, because people will eventually die, and after death, you will have already visualized the rotten appearance so many times.

······

In mid-December, at noon, Xiao Zheng and Xiao Long returned home, and it happened that their father was cooking in the kitchen, and the two said hello to their father, and then they went to chat on the sofa.

After a while, the mother Xu Ying came back, and she was very happy to see her two sons go home, and listened to the mother tell some interesting stories, and soon the meal was ready, and the four of them started eating.

After eating, after the massage, the two went to school, and tomorrow they will have a monthly exam, and the two of them should show up at the school first, so that the teachers and school leaders can rest assured, otherwise it is very likely that the head teacher will visit their home.

In the evening, after an afternoon of classes and evening training, when it was time to go to bed, Xiaolong was also writing a diary, and after writing down today's feelings for the day, he began to look through this month's diary, and after reading through the whole thing, Xiaolong also roughly understood the harvest of this month.

The main gain is to know the division of the realm of the Great Spread Corpse Method and the expansion of martial arts knowledge in the past month.

I am now in the second layer of 'death but not death', and with some breakthroughs, I can reach the realm of Xiao Tribulation, half a foot into the third layer of the realm of 'heart death and life', and then it will take some time to completely break through to the third layer, which is not a problem at all.

And once you break through to the third layer, the fourth layer is not so fast to break through, at least a few years. That means that the main purpose of coming to this world has been accomplished, and the rest only needs to be the identity of the Howling Dragon, work hard to cultivate, and protect your family.

Thinking of this, Xiaolong couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Then, he fell asleep according to the method of the corpse.

For some reason, the quality of this sleep was very good, so good that Xiaolong couldn't perceive a trace of careful thought, it seemed that he had accumulated so many days.

His sleeping condition, if he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't even hear his breathing, and the whole person seemed to be dead, but his mind was very clear, even if he was asleep.
