Chapter 17 Cultivation begins with breathing through both nostrils

Xu Yan really didn't expect that the bloody "old man" routine in the novel was really encountered by himself.

Though......

Old Man Chu was just a master of the Qi Sect Master who had been abolished, but he was also a genius Grandmaster who amazed the world!

Not to mention anything else, it is simply Old Man Chu's set of Dingguo Divine Sword, as long as he learns one and a half moves, it is enough to use it to the level of a third- or fourth-grade martial artist.

"Master is on top, please accept the apprentice's worship. ”

Since Old Man Chu took the initiative to teach himself, Xu Yan was not ambiguous, and he directly wanted to bow to his teacher.

Worship the "Dingguo Divine Sword" as a teacher, which no number of people can ask for.

However......

Old man Chu waved his hand and grabbed Xu Yan, who was saluting.

"Boy, I can't afford this big gift, a bad old man. ”

"What's the matter? Old Chu, do you think my worship is too light? or ...... Shall I give you a three-kneeling and nine-knock?"

Xu Yan thought that it was the old man Chu's big shelf, but who knew that he said again: "I don't dare to accept you as a disciple." Because, now I am not even a first-class martial artist, and I am not qualified to accept apprentices to teach people to practice martial arts. ”

"What?"

"Old man Chu, are you joking with me?"

"You're the Dingguo Divine Sword!"

"You are a seventh-grade grandmaster, and you still entered the patriarchal cabinet, and you don't even have the qualifications to accept people to practice martial arts?"

Xu Yan asked three soul questions one after another, and Old Man Chu also coughed slightly embarrassed.

"The system is there, according to the grade of the martial artist, I am indeed not even a first-grade martial artist......"

"Including those martial arts exercises that I know, I can't teach you any of them. Otherwise, you will be found out in the future, and I taught you. We are all violating the "Martial Arts Law", and you will be directly provoked by the Law Enforcement Department to abolish your martial arts. ”

……

Hearing this, Xu Yan immediately clicked the [Report] button in his mind.

"System, I want to report Old Man Chu for falsely accepting apprentices, which has caused serious trauma to my fragile heart, and at the same time severely hit my enthusiasm for learning martial arts. ”

[Report failed! The subject of the report is sincerely trying to teach the host to practice martial arts, so this report is not valid. 】

"Huh? Failed again? but...... I seem to have found something more interesting. In the future, can this method of reporting also be used to determine whether a person is sincere to himself. ”

Retracting his thoughts, Xu Yan looked at the old man Chu in front of him again and asked, "Old Chu, in that case...... How are you going to teach me martial arts?"

"Although I can't directly teach you specific martial arts techniques, ...... I can explain to you the essence of martial arts cultivation, which is a real martial arts secret that even martial artists below the high grade do not know very well. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Chu straightened his waist slightly.

In fact, what he said was a bit more conservative, because not only middle and low-grade martial artists would not understand, but even many grandmasters above the seventh rank would know it but not know why it was when they cultivated.

At present, the vast majority of martial artists on the earth are cultivating according to the existing martial arts cheats and the exercise routes created by their predecessors.

Among them, only a very small number of geniuses like Old Man Chu were able to gradually and vaguely understand the essence of cultivating martial arts from the route of Yun Gong cultivation.

After mastering the essence, although cultivation in a short period of time, there will not be a great speed increase.

However, in the long run, the understanding of martial arts and the mastery of one's own strength will slowly accumulate to a terrifying point.

In the later stage of cultivation, it is natural to advance by leaps and bounds, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thousand miles a day.

Chu Dingguo's cultivation below the fourth rank was even much slower than that of ordinary martial artists, and he only reached the fourth rank when he was nearly thirty years old.

And many martial artists with relatively good qualifications and family training are generally able to break through to the fourth rank at the age of twenty-five.

is under the premise that entering the fourth grade is five years slower than others, but Chu Dingguo started at the age of thirty, and was promoted to the first rank in more than a year, and at the age of thirty-five, he was promoted to the seventh rank and became a martial arts master.

It was even in Africa that time, the first battle became famous, and the Dingguo Divine Sword was known to the world.

"Boy, now you know, right? The core of martial arts training is to master ...... The essence of martial arts cultivation. When those people are in the fourth and fifth grades, it takes three or four years to be promoted to the first grade, and you only need a little more than a year, which is a big gap. ”

Old man Chu and Xu Yan talked eloquently about how when they were young, they surpassed those geniuses of the same age one by one.

But after listening to him for a long time, Xu Yan was also anxious enough, and couldn't help but complain about him: "I said Old Man Chu, you have been blowing here for a long time...... But what is the essence of martial arts cultivation? Tell me, so that I can be as awesome as you......"

After learning the true identity of Old Man Chu at the beginning, Xu Yan's words and attitude became cautious and respectful.

However, after saying a few more words, including the experience of chatting and farting with Old Man Chu in the past three years in his memory, Xu Yan disappeared again.

A mouthful of "old man Chu", a mouthful of "bragging" and "".

Moreover, this bad old man is simply a bad drop, and he has blown a lot of blows about how awesome he was when he was young...... But I can't talk about the point, what is the essence? How can I become as awesome as you!

"What are you anxious about? The essence of martial arts...... It's not that if I say it, you can understand it, you can learn it. If that's the case, a genius like me isn't rotten on the street. ”

With a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth, Old Man Chu suddenly stretched out two fingers and inserted them into Xu Yan's nostrils.

"it!"

So fast!

Xu Yan wanted to dodge, but before his body could move at all, he was already inserted by Old Man Chu.

Ruthless!

Xu Yan glared at Old Man Chu fiercely, stepped back, and said, "Old Man Chu, I didn't expect you to be so perverted and like to insert people's nostrils." ”

Rubbing his nose, looking at the obscene evil smile on Old Man Chu's face, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shame that he had been defiled!

"Don't you want to know what the essence of martial arts is? I just tried you, you try first...... Can I breathe through both nostrils......"

Taking out a tissue from the table next to him, Old Man Chu wiped his fingers with disgust, and then dashingly threw the used tissue into the trash can a few meters away.

"What? Breathe through two nostrils? What are you kidding, don't all people in this world breathe through two nostrils? What kind of skill is this? ”

Xu Yan's face was inexplicable, Old Man Chu made it so mysterious, and in the end, it turned out to be the breath that everyone in the school would breathe?

"Everybody breathes through two nostrils? at least...... You're not. If you don't believe me, try it yourself...... Use one finger to block one nostril in turn. ”

Old man Chu said with a smile.

"Try it......"

Xu Yan first stretched out his hand to block his left nostril, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, the right nostril was breathing very smoothly!

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yan blocked the right nostril and used the left nostril to breathe, this time...... I feel like I can't breathe well.

The left nostril seems to be a little blocked.

"Huh? What's going on? When I breathe normally, I feel like both nostrils are exhaling and inhaling? Actually...... Only one nostril is breathing all the time?"

At this moment, Xu Yan's face froze, and he completely faced it.

"You don't have to be surprised that in the normal state of the average person, both nostrils are just one nostril breathing. ”

Old man Chu just opened his mouth to explain, but Xu Yan suddenly stepped forward and stretched out two fingers to insert Old Man Chu's nostrils.

However, Old Man Chu's body was very light, and he moved to avoid it as soon as he brushed it.

"Boy, what are you going to do?"

Old man Chu shook his head and smiled.

"I want to touch it, do you also have only one nostril to breathe? Old man Chu, are you really not fooling me? I only have one nostril to breathe now, maybe it's because I have a cold and a stuffed nose, or I have rhinitis?"

Xu Yan still didn't understand, Old Man Chu said that he wanted to teach himself the essence of martial arts, why did he get involved in the question of whether to breathe with two nostrils?

"Let me tell you so simply! The breathing of the two nostrils of the human being is also in shifts, which is called the nasal cycle. There is a tissue called turbinates in the nasal cavity, which is inflated by blood to control which nostril is breathing. ”

"Each nasal cycle is about two hours to seven hours, and there are several nostril breath exchanges a day. And it is the ...... that controls the turbinates Our human autonomic neuromodulation system. ”

Old man Chu explained concisely, and Xu Yan suddenly realized.

"Autonomic neuromodulation system? Old man Chu, I probably understand what you mean. Biology books say that this is a kind of nervous system that is not controlled by the conscious mind of the person. ”

"You told me to learn to breathe through my nostrils first, which means...... Do you want me to use this to actively resist this autonomic neuromodulation system?"

In Xu Yan's mind, he began to have a vague concept.

It's still not clear, but it's vaguely clear.

The nervous activity of the human body, in a popular sense, is divided into two types.

One can be subjectively controlled by consciousness, for example, we can control the movement of our limbs, control the rotation of our head, accurately express emotions with facial expressions, and so on.

The other is an activity that cannot be actively controlled by consciousness.

Like the beating of our heart, the metabolism and activities between various internal organs, etc., these are all as if the body is automatically operating and taking over, and can function normally without our subjective consciousness.

The shift system of the nasal cycle mentioned by Old Man Chu is also the latter.

"Your perception is really not low. ”

Xu Yan's answer made Old Man Chu a little surprised, and he continued, "However, you are only half right. I'm not asking you to resist this autonomic neuromodulation system, but I'm trying to take over ......."

Speaking of this, Old Man Chu paused again, and said the conclusion that he had fished Xu Yan for a long time and made Xu Yan even more shocked.

"The essence of martial arts cultivation is to use consciousness to fully take over the entire body!!"
