In the morning, the first rays of dawn fall on the windowsill, and the golden light shines through the gaps in the curtains into the bedroom.

Jerry woke up as promised, the woman's body fragrance lingered in his nose, and the Ukrainian girl wrapped around him like an octopus, the soft and delicate body, and the warm quilt made Jerry hesitate a little and was reluctant to leave Mira's arms.

Hesitation was replaced by a firm will for a moment, and with a gentle break free from Mira's arms, Jerry quietly got out of bed, put on his pajamas and walked out of the room.

After washing, Jerry entered the utility room on the first floor, skillfully pressed the dark grid, and the huge oil painting hanging on the wall with a length of more than two meters and a width slid to the side, revealing a special silver secret door, and pushed the door into the lifting platform leading to the underground secret room.

The gurgling sound of the ropeway turning is particularly loud in the silent basement, with a crisp "quack", the lifting platform shakes slightly, and the iron door opens automatically.

When Jerry stepped through the iron door, he touched the heat sensor in the underground chamber.

"Ding—"

The lights of the originally dark secret room flashed, and then, a row of lamps on the ceiling turned on one after another, extending from the middle to both sides, until all the wall lamps on the surrounding walls were turned on, and the lights were bright and delicate, revealing the true face of the underground secret room.

This is a fully functional mechanical gym with a total of 500 square meters.

There are no partitions in the large space, the four walls and supporting columns are made of special steel structure, and the floor is made of special silver-gray electromagnetic panels.

The lights on the ceiling are red, yellow, and white, and they naturally divide the chamber into three areas.

The white area represents the safe zone, where you can move freely and rest, and the yellow zone is surrounded by 24 high-fidelity hand-forged leather animal models.

These simulated animal models are meticulously built with the original animal shape in mind, the internal drive is the most advanced electronic sensing system at the moment, and the structure of the mechanical skeleton is extremely complex, and the skeleton is wrapped in a thick layer of silicone.

The outermost layer is pure animal skin, originally there was animal hair on the animal skin, but because Jerry has been fighting with the animal model for more than ten years, over time, the animal hair on the model has fallen off, and even the outer layer of the animal skin has been polished smooth and shiny.

The twenty-four animal models consist of five animals: deer, tiger, ape, bear and crane.

Except for the bear-shaped animals, which have only four models, each of the other animals has five movements, making a total of twenty-four models.

The innermost part of the chamber is a red-lit area, and red means danger, which is also true.

The red area occupies the largest area, about two-thirds of the entire underground gym, and there is no fitness equipment in the area, which is extremely empty, but this area is the core of the underground secret room, and it will become very dangerous after activating it.

Jerry Towne's second uncle, Edward Don, and third uncle, Howard Don, have suffered greatly in the Red Zone.

At that time, the two of them were about the same age as Jerry now, young and frivolous, and they rashly pressed the battle button, and suddenly twenty-four simulation models were driven by the induction of the underground electromagnetic plate, automatically slid from the yellow area, and attacked at the same time, causing Jerry's two uncles to be beaten up tragically, but fortunately they pressed the electronic sensor on their wrists at the critical moment, so that the model stopped running instantly.

Even so, Jerry's two uncles still broke a few ribs, and there was no good meat on their bodies, and it took more than half a year to recover.

After that, the brothers Ivward and Howard became intimidated by the brutal training of model battles, and became intimidated by the underground vault, and never visited again for more than a decade.

All in all, the white area is a place for warm-up and rest, the yellow area is a model-assisted exercise and standardized movements, and the red area is a practical training.

The twenty-four sets of actions are coherent, which is the quintessence of the national art widely spread in the ancient Oriental country - "Five Fowl Opera".

The Five Birds Opera is a set of medical qigong for disease prevention, disease treatment and longevity created by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who imitated the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and crane.

When exercising, we should pay attention to the relaxation of the whole body, keep the dantian, breathe evenly, and do the appearance and spirit like the five birds, by imitating animals to achieve external movement and internal static, moving and quiet, there is rigidity and softness, rigidity and softness, practice inside and outside, and the effect of both inside and outside.

……

What Jerry is doing at the moment is the "Fahrenheit Five" that Donn Sr. taught him by hand.

Old Tang called it "external strength", which is used to break the muscles and bones, dredge the meridians, enhance the flexibility of the body and temper the spiritual will.

After a little warm-up, Jerry walked into the yellow area, clicked the "1" button on the wrist of the operation watch, and the deer play "Deer Walk" model slid forward, Jerry turned over and lay on the model, his body limbs were in line with the model, and the model had straps on it, which could tie the practitioner firmly to the model.

When the start button is pressed, the model will automatically run in a fixed pattern, performing the same action ten times in one minute.

If you feel that the speed is too slow, you can press the accelerator button, and you can repeat the action as fast as 20 times in one minute, that is, complete the action once in three seconds, the strap is fixed, the mechanical cycle cannot be stopped halfway.

You can also extend the duration and speed of your workouts and adjust them manually.

Models 1 to 5 are the deer plays in the five bird plays, in order: deer gait, stand up, lean out, kick and jump, and look back.

During the exercise, the exerciser is required to be like a deer, the mind is calm and relaxed, the posture is stretched, and the demeanor of leaning out, leaning up, running, and looking back is expressed, so as to achieve the effect of stretching the muscles and bones.

Models 6 to 10 are tiger plays: tiger stride, out of the hole, power, pounce, and fight.

Exercisers are required to be able to do it, with blazing eyes, shaking their heads and tails, pounced, turning, showing a mighty demeanor, to be strong and powerful, rigid and soft, rigid and soft, and its function is to fill in the lean marrow, strengthen the waist and kidneys.

Models 11 to 15 are ape plays: ape gait, peeping, peach picking, fruit offering, and escape;

It imitates its agility and activity, showing the demeanor of jumping mountains and streams, climbing trees and kicking branches, picking peaches and offering fruits; long-term exercise can make the limbs flexible and the body light and healthy.

Models 16 to 19 are bear plays: bear stride, shake fortune, resist leaning, push and push;

The function is to strengthen the spleen and stomach, and long-term practice can have the effect of enhancing physical strength.

No. 20 to No. 24 are the crane plays in the five bird plays: crane stride, bright wings, independence, falling geese, and flying;

It imitates its upright and leisurely, showing bright wings, flying lightly, falling geese, and independent demeanor; its function is to regulate luck and blood, dredge the meridians, and enhance lung breathing.

Half an hour later, Jerry completed twenty-four sets of daily training.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, relaxed his whole body, and concentrated on the Tang family's ancestral kung fu "Chao Yuan Guide Map", and suddenly a trace of warm current gushed out from the navel of the lower abdomen, shuttling between the heart, liver, lungs, spleen, and kidneys like silk threads, making his entire upper body get hotter and hotter like a furnace, and his head was full of beads of sweat.

After a while, Jerry, who was wearing only a pair of boxers, was sweating profusely, and the beads of sweat gathered into a thread, like a trickle of water flowing down from the gap between the scalp, causing the original wheat-colored skin to become more and more crystal shiny and shiny, with a dazzling metallic luster.

Jerry saw such a passage in the family's book "Fahrenheit's Five Fowl Play": "Pull the skin and move the joints to make it difficult to grow old, which is called the play of the five fowls." Pull the hooves and feet, in order to be a guide, the body is unhappy, and it is a fowl's play, so it makes sweat to facilitate the lightness of the body. He is more than 900 years old (more than 90 years old), with intelligent ears and eyes, and strong teeth. It is very easy for the husband to be the guide, and the doer is very happy, sad!"

And Jerry's grandfather Old Tang also said that "Fahrenheit's Five Fowl Opera" is widely circulated, and many people have practiced it, especially middle-aged and elderly people, but there are very few who can really understand its essence, prolong life, and live a long life.

The descendants of the Tang En family have been martial arts since elementary school, and the first thing they learned was the Fahrenheit Five Fowl Opera, which was used to break the muscles and bones and lay a solid foundation, which is the "external skill" that the old Tang En often talked about, also known as "hard skill".

After the foundation is solid, he began to come into contact with the real family martial arts "Chao Yuan Guide Map", if the five bird opera can only be regarded as the outer door kung fu, then the "Chao Yuan Guide Map" can be called one of the few "internal strength" cultivation methods in the world today.

Guidance, as the name suggests, is the meaning of "guiding qi and making soft", which is intended to guide the body and mind, breathe out vitality, maintain health and health, and prolong life.

At first glance, it sounds powerful, but in fact it is not so subtle, at best it is just a health preservation technique to strengthen the body.

According to the old Tang En, "Chao Yuan Guide Map" was created by the Sui Dynasty (601 AD) Tai Doctor Chao Yuan Fang collected the strengths of all parties "Qi practitioners", took its essence to remove its dross, combined with its own learning, and created a new guidance and health preservation technique.

At the same time, Chao Yuanfang also compiled the book "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases", which is divided into five volumes, 67 courses, and 2,039 treatises, which discusses in detail the etiology, pathogenesis and syndrome of various diseases, and is the earliest and most complete monograph on Chinese medicine pathology in the history of Chinese medicine.

Chao Yuanfang published his medical works publicly, so that they could be passed on to future generations, but his own practice of "Chao Yuan Guide Map" was not made public, and even when Emperor Yang of Sui was touring the south, he quietly left the imperial city and disappeared without a trace, and there was no news.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or he has already seen through the situation, in the year when Chao Yuanfang left the court, the powerful rebels from all over the country rose up one after another, causing the Great Sui Dynasty to fall into turmoil, and five years later, the Great Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and Li Tang dominated the world.

This history is naturally no stranger to Jerry Towne, who is stiff in the Li Dynasty.

However, he didn't believe that there was really "internal strength" in the world before, but after the careful teaching of Old Tang, Jerry really felt that there was a trickle of warmth as thin as silver filaments in his body.

For him, this discovery was as exciting, exciting, and excited as Columbus's discovery of the New World...... Filled with ambition and pleasantly surprised.

With more than three months of Jerery's unremitting practice, this imperceptible warm current finally became a thread, slowly expanding and growing, from the initial entrenchment only at the navel, tracing up the meridians, and gradually extending outward, now it has completely covered the main organs, and the next goal is to expand from the five internal organs to the six internal organs.

The most important thing is to open up the meridians of the renal pelvis and bladder.

As long as this meridian is opened, Jerry's "Tongzigong" that he has been practicing for more than ten years can be considered to have a solid foundation and can live a real adult life.
