Old Man Tong didn't want to say anything more, but in the end he sighed and said, "Speaking of this martial arts, I learned it from a master of the inner guards when my grandfather entered the palace as an imperial chef. And the descendants have passed it down from generation to generation and have become the family heirloom martial arts of my Tong family. I don't know what the name of this set of boxing is called, but it is somewhat similar to Taijiquan. After practicing for a long time, it can indeed strengthen the body, and it can also be used for self-defense.

I have been practicing since I was five years old, and by the time I was in my twenties, I had a small success, and even if twenty or thirty strong men swarmed up, I didn't want to bargain under my men.

When I was thirty years old, I noticed a flow of air in my body. Whenever I practice boxing, this air flow will slowly flow through the meridians with one move and one move, and it will be warm like a small mouse running through my body.

The most surprising thing is that if when I throw a punch, this air flow happens to flow to the fist, then the force of this punch will increase several times, and it can break a stone weighing hundreds of pounds. If you hit you, I'm afraid you'll kill someone directly!"

Ling Zikai asked, "Could it be that you have unintentionally practiced internal strength?"

When Old Man Tong heard this, a bright light appeared in his eyes: "Do you say that air flow is the mysterious internal strength?

Ling Zikai suddenly opened his mouth when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer. How do you know if there is internal strength in this world, isn't it from those martial arts novels!

Fortunately, Old Man Tong did not dwell on this matter, and continued: "I don't know if the air flow in my body is the legendary internal strength. It's just that my father and grandfather have practiced boxing all their lives, and there has never been such a situation, why did they have an inexplicable air flow when they came to me!"

Ling Zikai said with a smile: "Maybe it's because you are so talented that you have far surpassed them in martial arts training and reached a new realm, so this phenomenon has appeared." ”

Old Man Tong nodded and said, "Maybe that's what you said!" Actually, at the beginning, I didn't care about this air flow in my body, but as I continued to practice, this air flow became more and more powerful, and what was even more disturbing was that I didn't know how to control it, so I couldn't let it break through in my body like this!"

Looking at Old Man Tong's depressed appearance, Ling Zikai said, "You can slowly guide this air flow into your dantian!"

Old Man Tong said with some distress: "I have also heard many people say that there is a dantian in the human body, which is three inches below the umbilicus. But the point is, for so many years, I have never felt its existence, let alone introduced that air flow into it! Do you know how to feel the position of the dantian?"

You ask me, I ask who to go! The ghost knows if there really is a dantian in the human body!

Ling Zikai muttered secretly in his heart.

Then I remembered the scenes described in those novels, and said casually: "Actually, you don't need to do anything deliberately, the ancients said that the Tao is natural." This martial arts practice is also like this, the emphasis is on gradual progress, as long as you cultivate to a certain time, it will come naturally, and at that time, you don't need to feel it, then the dantian will naturally appear!"

Old Man Tong was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Are you saying that although my boxing technique has cultivated internal qi, it has not yet reached the realm of perfection, so I can't feel the existence of dantian?"

Ling Zikai couldn't help but feel a burst of shame when he heard this. I learned this from those novels, so don't take it seriously. If I had done what I had said, I would have become a sinner for the ages.

However, at this time, Old Man Tong was obviously moved by Ling Zikai's words, and muttered to himself: "You're right! I have also checked some information before, if there is internal strength in the body, it is necessary to guide the air flow to go through the veins of the whole body to be considered complete, and reach the realm of Xiao Zhoutian." It's just that for so many years, I have never been able to guide the air flow in my body through the veins of my body, as long as I reach the place of Guan Yuan Acupoint, it seems that I am blocked by an invisible door, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get through. Looks like that's the crux of the matter!"

When Old Man Tong said this, he suddenly stood up from the recliner, bowed deeply at Ling Zikai, and then raised his head, looked at him, with ardent expectation in his eyes, and said: "Brother Ling, your martial arts cultivation is above me, and you must have already reached the realm of Xiao Zhoutian. The old man has a reluctant request, I beg you to help me break through the barrier of Guan Yuan Acupoint. ”

Ling Zikai was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Old man, you're not joking, are you?

Old Man Tong didn't wait for Ling Zikai to finish speaking, so he preemptively said: "Brother Ling, don't worry, no matter whether you succeed or not, the old man will give you a generous reward afterwards!"

Ling Zikai suddenly felt that his head was as big as numbness, and he hurriedly explained: "Old man, this is not a question of whether to return or not! I really can't help you with this favor, I don't have the ability and method to help you break through Guan Yuan's acupoint at all! How can you let me help you?"

Old Man Tong looked at the helpless look on Ling Zikai's face, which didn't seem to be cheating, and after thinking about it, he also felt that what he said was not perfunctory, after all, he had never heard of this thing to help people break through the bottleneck of martial arts, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, and sighed: "Maybe the old man is too persistent and a little whimsical." It is a miracle to say that this punch can be practiced to the point of internal strength. After all, like my father and grandfather, they have practiced all their lives, and when they are dying, they don't know what internal strength is! I can reach this step, what else can I not be satisfied with! Why do I still want to look at this mountain and that mountain high!"

He said these self-deprecating words, but Ling Zikai still saw the helplessness and unwillingness in his eyes, so he comforted: "Old man, as the saying goes, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!

Old Man Tong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The old man is already eighty years away, even if he waits for that day, I am afraid that there will not be a few days left to stay in this world." What's the point of breaking through and not breaking through!"

Ling Zikai also felt a little embarrassed, and inexplicably thought of a possibility in his heart:

Maybe those legendary martial arts masters and cultivators have all existed in this world. These boxing and martial arts inherited by the ancients are not made up out of thin air, and they should be able to reach the unbelievable realm if they are cultivated for a long time.

It's just that this cultivation process is too long, and the lifespan of a person is limited, and he has already left this world before his cultivation is completed, so there will be no such strange people in this world.

And topics such as martial arts cultivation have become legends!
