[3] Yun Chengyu

(Forbidden World, Friday, August 16, 2013, Morning; School City, School District 14)

It's a beautiful city.

In the light of the setting sun, the majestic walls, the silent temples, the carved colonnades, and the ancient arched bridges made of textured marble all shine with golden brilliance and beautiful and moving.

Fountains with silver bases spew prismatic light in the wide squares and fragrant gardens, graceful trees, flowerbeds and ivory statues line the wide streets, and cascading red roofs and old pointed gables climb the northern slopes, providing shade for the grass-green cobblestone alleys below.

The light is bright, but there is an unexpected feeling of loneliness. By the way, it was so, he had never seen any pedestrians on these streets, and the elegant houses had no breath of life at all.

This is the third time that Yun Seung-woo has visited this awe-inspiring and extraordinary city in a dream. When he first dreamed of it, he suspected that the imagery came from his travels to a foreign country with his family, and perhaps some of the material from the impression he made when he looked at the "Garden of the Academy" from afar, but each time he stopped on the terrace high above the city, and was dragged back from the dream to the real world by some force.

Just like it is now.

"Whew...... Is this dream again?"

Yun Chengyu opened his eyes, and as far as he could see, there was a pale cyan ceiling. Turning over slightly, in his sight, on the other bed, a white-haired young man named Fang Tong was sleeping soundly.

"Is it because of this weird compass?"

He lightly slipped out of the bed and took out the mysterious palm-sized compass from the space rooted in the altar that [Magic Demon King Girl] Nanamiya Tomoin had constructed for him. The arabesque pattern on the smooth surface seems to tell some kind of terrifying secret, but it is as beautiful and alluring as a poppy.

"The Great Master" has a saying: "The true people of the ancients, they don't sleep, they don't sleep, they feel worry-free, their food is unwilling, and their breath is deep." "As a cultivator, Yun Chengyu's sleep quality has always been very good, and he has also obtained the essence of the dragon sleeping technique, and he usually does not have this kind of particularly clear and energy-consuming dream when he sleeps. It wasn't until he accidentally obtained this strange compass that his sleep state dropped rapidly.

"Do you want to tell Mom and Dad? But Grandpa has already checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Thinking about the reason behind this, but never sorting out a clue, Yun Chengyu couldn't help but feel a little irritable. However, he then realized this and decided to go to the rooftop platform to practice boxing for a while to calm his restlessness. Not only that, but he knew very well that although the moment of waking was a little earlier than the normal biological clock, lying in bed would only make the body more tired.

After washing, drinking a few sips of warm water, changing into civilian clothes, and putting on a coat, he left the room silently like a cat and ascended the stairs to the rooftop.

It wasn't quite dawn yet, and the clouds near the horizon were as white as a fish's maw.

Moving his muscles and bones slightly, Yun Chengyu took a few steps, stood in a three-body position, sat with his center of gravity, and the whole person seemed to be holding a spear, and the lazy breath on his body was swept away. Different from ordinary practitioners, he also runs the Xuanmen Mental Method while standing on the pile, and a warm current surges in his body, down to the soles of his feet, steady as a rock, and up to the top of his head, refreshing.

Jinggong cultivation is almost the same, and he has practiced the Five Elements Fist back and forth several times, as well as the twelve forms such as dragon, tiger, and bear, and his body is warm, as if he is sweating but not sweating. After an hour, he felt that the amount of activity he had exercised in the morning had been satisfied, so he took his breath and walked slowly around the roof to soothe his qi and blood.

"Yunjun, good morning. ”

With the sound of words, a familiar figure with white hair and red eyes appeared in the stairwell. It's a one-way pass.

"Yo, good morning, party. ”

Yun Chengyu greeted him and walked in the direction of going downstairs. The other party doesn't have the habit of going to the rooftop for morning exercises, is there something to do with him?

"There are a few things I want to verify, and I just thought of it when I woke up in the morning. I remember you said that how to keep the 'qi' from being emitted during exercise is the most basic and important thing in the national arts. ”

Yun Chengyu was not surprised by his curiosity, this god-level friend has always liked to delve into some strange problems, and his [vector manipulation] ability can be called the strongest detection instrument - that is, the detection range is a little shorter.

"That's right. At the level of martial arts, the so-called refining and refining of qi, 'qi' is the biomass energy converted during the movement of the human body, which is often accompanied by the generation of heat. 'Qi' is emitted through the pores, and nourishing Qi is to close the pores of the whole body at a critical time, like a cat when it is fried. When practicing, the last action is to precipitate the 'qi' to the lower dantian, so that you can gradually improve your physique and enhance your strength. And when fighting, a clever martial artist can concentrate the 'qi' to burst out, so as to hit the terrifying lethality of opening the stele and cracking the stone. ”

Recalling Fu Hongfa's "theoretical lesson" when he taught boxing, Yun Chengyu explained as simply as possible, and then connected with the knowledge he had learned in Daomen.

"From the point of view of the magic side—I mean the Taoist lineage of Huaguo—the refinement and transformation qi mentioned in martial arts cultivation is actually the cultivation of acquired essence, which is different from the innate essence cultivated by Dan Dao. However, mana, or magic, is the product of the processing of human power, such as the so-called life force, which is easier to control by human will than the leylines or other external forces. This is the basis for entering the Tao with martial arts. ”

"Do you enter the Tao with martial arts...... Well, I don't know much about the ancient martial arts and magic knowledge of Huaxia, but from a neuroscience point of view, this is not the normal way the human nervous system works. From an evolutionary point of view, this ability to erect hair on the skin by contracting the erector pili muscle originated from our human hairy ancestors and was controlled by the autonomic nervous system...... Well, although it is true that it can control some of the autonomic nerves after training, it is ...... No, it ......."

The sound of passing on one side became quieter and quieter, and at the end it was basically muttering. It was also thanks to Yun Chengyu's keen sense of spirit that he listened to what he said.

"This system also controls other activities that are 'uncontrollable by consciousness,' such as heartbeat, pupil dilation, and wave contractions of smooth muscle called 'peristalsis' in the digestive system, and even secretions such as digestive juices...... That's right, the sympathetic nerves act on smooth muscle and glandular cells, and this is the realm of the pinnacle of martial arts...... However, this theoretical model still does not explain ......"

At this point, even the sound of talking to himself disappeared. Yun Chengyu didn't make a sound to interrupt the other party's thinking. He himself had a similar epiphany experience when he was in practice, and he knew that bad people and good deeds were extremely immoral at this time. After a long time, Fang Tong let out a long sigh, looked at him with some embarrassment, and said:

"I'm sorry, Yunjun, I was calculating something just now. Let's go to the restaurant. ”

"It's okay, you need my help with the test. ”

Yun Chengyu smiled. After breakfast, they went to the institute in District 15 for a daily capacity development session, giving one party a chance to test his idea.

Off topic:

Don't confuse the martial arts of the forbidden world with the martial arts of the real world, the latter is set by me in a realistic attitude.

By the way, I complained about Mr. Ding Hao, who made an appointment with Xu Xiaodong, with a weight difference of 15 kilograms, and still wanted to hit other people's hugs with a head-on punch?

Wing Chun is the right way to play: attack the carotid sinus with a finger technique.

Consequences: Causes a sudden drop in heart rate, vasodilation, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. It is generally not fatal, and at most it is done for artificial resuscitation, so those who say that killing skills cannot be used lightly are washing the floor.

A large number of baroreceptors are distributed in the carotid sinus, and their daily functions are involved in regulating blood pressure and maintaining the stability of the human internal environment. Baroreceptors in the carotid sinus transmit pressure signals through the sinus nerve to the glossopharyngeal nerve and then to the nucleus of the solitary tract of the brainstem, and indirectly regulate the sympathetic and complex sympathetic nerves through the hypothalamus, thereby affecting the activity of the heart and blood vessels and maintaining the stability of blood pressure.
