Chapter 6 Meticulous Eating and sleeping are all Zen

"How do you practice when you eat and sleep?"

Su Zai was puzzled.

"The two biggest things in life are eating and sleeping. Audrey said: "Someone once asked a Zen master what Zen was, and the master said, 'Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy.'" ’。 The man asked strangely, 'People are like this, they eat when they are hungry and sleep when they are sleepy.' Why are others not Zen and you are Zen?' The Zen master said, 'It's because they don't eat when they eat and don't sleep when they sleep.' 'Do you understand the story?'

"Didn't eat when I ate, didn't sleep when I slept. Su Zai chewed these two sentences, very philosophical, and vaguely understood in his heart, but he couldn't say what they were.

While I was thinking about it, the sound of a motorcycle came from outside the yard.

Audrey opened the courtyard door and was the one who delivered the food.

Large and small packets, all open to the table, the food is extremely rich, beef, chicken, fruit, dairy products, fish, and soup, obviously not ordinary takeaway, but customized dishes.

After the person who delivered the meal was arranged, Ou Deli beckoned Su Zai: "Come and eat, this is the Nie family's private dish, it is said that the ancestors of the Nie family are palace chefs, I have come here to eat once before, it is very delicious." It also regulates the body and nourishes vitality, suitable for all ages. ”

Su Zheng was already hungry, but there was still an embarrassed look on his face, and he had a feeling of eating and drinking.

Audley seemed to see through his thoughts, "I'm just going to do a physical training test experiment, would you like to be my volunteer, you can eat and get paid." ”

"Of course I do. Su Zai nodded hurriedly: "Just eat it, I don't want the salary, can you teach me more kung fu." ”

"Then let's eat first. Audrey took the chopsticks and nodded.

Westerners are accustomed to using knives and forks for eating, and many people have a hard time even using chopsticks, especially Jos, who tries hard to use chopsticks well, but he can't do it every time. But Oudeli is completely different, holding chopsticks is like running water, even peanuts that are difficult to clip, and you can clip a few grains if you want to.

Su Zheng was hungry for a long time and ate a big bite.

Oudeli hurriedly stopped: "Eating is the first lesson I teach you, be sure to chew enough, chew the food in your mouth thoroughly and then swallow it slowly, don't think about anything in your heart, just eat with peace of mind, but don't be too nervous, with a happy and relaxed mentality." You have to remember that eating is the most relaxing and enjoyable time in life, and seizing this time is equivalent to grasping the true meaning of life. That's what the Zen master said, eating is eating. And 99 percent of people are not eating when they are eating. ”

"Don't think about anything else, concentrate on it at the same time, enjoy and relax, and chew to the fullest. Su Zai has taken a biology class, and knows that chewing enough can secrete more saliva, convert the starch in food into maltose, reduce the burden of gastrointestinal digestion, and the more times you chew, you can also stimulate the cerebral cortex through the movement of facial muscles, so that the brain is active.

"The eating mentality is the most important, if you think about other things when eating, the blood circulation will not be concentrated in the stomach and intestines, which will weaken the digestive ability at the same time, it will reduce your mental control of the taste buds, and over time, you will produce a slight anorexia, which is the beginning of the elimination of species in evolution. "In my research, even if it is a professional athlete, eating every meal without thinking about the problem is much stronger than thinking about the problem, don't underestimate this detail, the real physical fitness and physical fitness, is so strict self-discipline and psychological control." The devil is often in the details. ”

"The devil is in the details. Hearing this, Su Zheng seemed to understand, he wanted to think about it, but he immediately stopped, and began to eat with peace of mind and enjoy the beauty of food.

Eating and eating, he actually entered the state, and felt that when the food was chewed, the aroma spread to the whole body through his mouth, and he was a little fluttering.

Then chew enough food and swallow it into the esophagus and stomach, and the feeling of satisfaction arises.

In it, he felt the gift of nature to life.

Looking at the change in Su Zai's expression in the state of eating, Ou Deli seemed to have discovered some treasure, just like the teacher saw a student with strong comprehension.

After eating this meal, Su Zai wanted to stand up habitually.

"Don't stand first, after eating, sit for a while, because your stomach is still peristalsis to digest food, this is an inertia, you stand up and change this inertia, it is possible to make the stomach fall, but if you are sedentary, it will make the stomach flatulent, at this time, you have to drink a drink to help digestion. "Audrey again teaches the details.

"Drinks?" Su Zai didn't find any juice or anything, he ate the fruit on the table.

"The best drink is your saliva. "There are several acupuncture points in the abdomen, and the acupuncture points are unique to your Chinese medicine, which is very magical, and in our science, it is called the sensitive point of neuronal concentration." You follow the order, gently massage the acupuncture points of Zhongguan, Daheng, Tianshu, Qihai, and Belt Pulse, while gently pressing and kneading, while secreting saliva and swallowing, so that you can make the gastrointestinal peristalsis digestion more dynamic, which is a small detail in your Chinese kung fu, and it is also a health preservation technique, which is more in line with the principle of science, until you feel that the pleasure of eating is completely gone, and the stomach and abdomen are not the slightest feeling of distension before you can stay. ”

Su Zai continued to study, he didn't expect that a simple meal would contain so much knowledge, in his heart, he did not underestimate these details at all, on the contrary, he attached great importance to it and made up his mind to do it well.

After digesting, Audrey let him stand up and move.

When he came to the yard, Ou Deli first asked Su Zai to take a slow walk around the yard, walked for an hour, and the food he ate was completely digested and clean, which made Su Zai practice the "hoe" move again.

This time, he pointed out carefully, and he immediately went up to correct any details that were wrong, and he didn't stop until Su Zheng practiced this trick steadily.

"It's time for a nap. ”

Seeing that Su Zheng was a little tired, Audrey taught him to sleep.

In this courtyard there are wings, which are an ancient architectural form, specially prepared for guests.

Audrey let Su Zai lay down on the bed, trying his best to stretch out, his head and limbs, as if he were being pulled by a horse.

"What I'm teaching you now is the combination of ancient Indian yoga and tantric methods of destroying life and death, which is called the Great Corpse Method, but I have made a small improvement. You are now lying on the bed, with your head, your feet, and your hands, trying to prop yourself out, imagining that you are being torn apart by five horses, precarious, and you try your best to resist, but in the end you are powerless and torn apart. At this time, you feel like you're dead, a corpse, but you're actually alive. At this time, you are at peace, appearing as a corpse, and your consciousness is still there. You live your true self as a corpse, and after you die once, you are still alive, and you can let go of everything. Everything is so beautiful, everything can be let go, and in this state of mind, you will be at peace and relax to the limit. ”

Odeli's voice seemed to have some kind of hypnotic effect, Su Zai followed his rhythm, and began to pull up his limbs and heads violently, and suddenly, it seemed that he was really dead, and he fell asleep peacefully, breathing steadily and long.

"This kid is the most qualified and intelligent I have ever seen, and he is calm, not impulsive, and has a sense of justice. But is it really a genius to get into the state so quickly?" Audrey saw Su Zheng who had slept past, and the reason why he liked it was because of the trivial matter of buying water.

This little thing fully shows Su Zheng's wisdom and sense of justice.

In the ensuing conversation, he saw Su Zheng's persistence and strong will, as well as comprehension.

Ordinary people, even if they teach him, it is difficult for him to persevere.

And during the conversation, he felt that Su Zheng was a person with strong execution and planning.

"The most important thing is that the person who can enter the state for the first time in the big corpse method is not one in ten thousand, he can actually directly comprehend the state of living in the state of a corpse, and if he continues like this, he may reach the mental state of forgetting life and death, and this kind of mentality training is not something that artificial intelligence can involve. A smile appeared on Audley's face.

After sleeping for two hours, Su Zai woke up naturally, he was completely refreshed, he never seemed to be so comfortable, his mentality was lively, it seemed that he could let go of anything, he could be satisfied with everything, and he was relaxed and happy all the time.

"You still have to promise me one thing, I will train you, you don't talk about it for the time being, take time every day to train in secret. Also, if you have the opportunity in the future, I want you to be able to fight a few fights and say I'm your coach. Audrey made a request.

"Okay. Su Zai thought about it and nodded.

Odeli seemed to have succeeded in some kind of ploy, and smiled on his face.

"What is taught to you today, you understand and digest it well, and follow this training, you can benefit for life. However, to learn martial arts, this is far from enough. That way, come here every day when you have time. There's only one month, and in a month, I'm leaving. Odeli waved his hand.

Su Zai didn't continue to ask about Oudeli's martial arts.

Today's knowledge is enough to digest for many days.

"On July 8th, I actually met the coach of the world's top martial artists, Audrey. He taught me a lot about traditional martial arts and opened up a whole new world for me. When practicing, the hatred of hating the sky and hating the earth, as well as the ruthlessness of not staining the enemy's blood and swearing not to return when fighting, what is even more wonderful is that the mentality of the five-horse corpse method is to live out the true self in the state of the corpse. I felt that my own state of mind was very good, very peaceful, comfortable, and in the training, I found the true meaning of my life. Traditional martial arts, traditional practice methods, really so magical, I don't know if there is supernatural power, but this is definitely a baptism of body and mind, no wonder throughout the ages, many people have become monks and practiced in the deep mountains and old forests. ”

"The fight with Jos continued tonight, he still hit me easily, I didn't make a big difference because I learned the technique of Coach Odeli, it seems that kung fu still needs to be practiced step by step, and it is impossible to improve by leaps and bounds. When I sleep at night, I will continue to practice the method of dividing the corpse of the five horses. I checked on the Internet, the big corpse method is a kind of practice of Tantric Buddhism, and the coach added the meditation of the five horses to divide the corpse, which should be a meaning of stretching the muscles and pulling out the bones. Another point is that even if you eat, you must have a set of massage and swallowing techniques to help digestion, if you integrate the details of health into every detail of your life, your physical fitness will definitely be greatly improved. The two most important things in life, eating and sleeping, take up a lot of time in life, and the details must be mastered. ”

"Su Zheng, remember, details determine success or failure, you must remember. ”

According to the daily habit, Su Zheng still writes a diary to summarize.
