The night is like water, the mountains and forests are quiet, Luo Zhaoyun covered the ash heap, so as not to have an open fire, attracting the rangers of the rivers and lakes who walk at night, in case there is a middle-aged swordsman's rival, it will be bad.

Autumn is high and cool, the moonlight is bright, sprinkled in the forest, quiet and harmonious, occasionally there is a faint thin smoke rising, diffusing in the forest, the autumn fog is hazy.

Luo Zhaoyun sometimes woke up and observed the middle-aged swordsman's body, breathing evenly, and it took a long time to breathe, and his throat, chest, and abdomen sometimes gurgled, like a frog crowing.

Around him, the moonlight sprinkled down, as if to cover him with a layer of white frost, and a layer of misty qi could be seen around his body in white, and between exhaling and inhaling, the white mist appeared in the shape of a turtle and a snake, and then reappeared and dispersed.

Luo Zhaoyun guessed in his heart that maybe this was a kind of internal strength method, with a unique combination of meditation, breathing, luck, and spiritual power, he spit out the shape of a turtle and a snake, which is the appearance of a long-lived animal.

It is precisely because the external technology of the ancients is not good that some capable people seek the inside of the body, eager to be strong, defeat nature, defeat beasts, overcome birth, old age, sickness and death, and realize the art of immortality.

For example, the white ape through the back fist, the ape strike, etc., is said to be created by Mr. Guiya in the valley when he saw the white ape's movements and attacks. Another example is the five bird play, is a kind of internal and external cultivation, both rigid and soft martial arts, but also health qigong, it is by imitating the tiger, deer, bear, ape, bird (crane) five kinds of animal movements, by the ancient physician Hua Tuo on the basis of the predecessors of the creation, so it is also called Hua Tuo five bird play.

The more advanced science and technology become, the more the limbs and brains of ordinary people are mentally degraded, and they rely too much on those external tools. In the era of backward science and technology, many masters of martial arts and literature often appear.

One night passed, and the next morning, Luo Zhaoyun went out to fetch water, hunt, and then get food.

The middle-aged man only eats one meal a day, but he can eat one boar or a whole deer at a time, the stomach and intestines speed up digestion, and the nutrition makes up for the serious consumption of the body, and the injury recovers quickly.

Three days passed, the middle-aged swordsman got up, walked in place, circle after circle, the fallen leaves on the ground were unexpectedly windless, and as he walked faster and faster, the dead grass and fallen leaves in the circle actually rolled.

Luo Zhaoyun was a little dumbfounded, he had seen such a scene in the movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and thought it was stunt and nonsense, but he couldn't imagine that a middle-aged swordsman could do it.

"See?"

"Well, see, what kind of realm is this?" Luo Zhaoyun replied.

The middle-aged swordsman said: "This is the excessive level between the strength and the return to the Yuan, secular martial arts, are hard kung fu, actual combat and killing, although I also know how to raise strength, but they are all strong, rarely soft, and there is no flowing true qi, this kind of hard training, although the combat power is very strong, the lethality is great, and it is fast, but it is harmful to the body, you can imagine, the generals have always been generals, how many have long lives, in addition to dying on the battlefield, dying under the suspicion of the king, the rest of the retired generals, in their later years, are all riddled with diseases, martial arts degenerate, and many dark diseases. ”

After listening to this, Luo Zhaoyun felt that it was very reasonable, nodded his head, and guessed in his heart: Could it be that he explained these to me to teach the exercises?

The middle-aged swordsman said: "The ancient martial arts sect knows some health preservation methods, blends them into these killing routines, and cooperates with each other, which is the martial arts method, and we are in the sect, rarely use force, do not seek killing skills, pay more attention to meditation, meditation, nature, and sword understanding, tap their own potential, go to a high realm, and achieve the purpose of longevity and fitness." ”

Luo Zhaoyun had a question and asked: "You don't practice the three energies of light, darkness, and transformation, so start practicing from the basics?" ”

"The disciples of the sect, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, also started from fists and feet, swordsmanship, but with meditation and exhalation, both internal and external cultivation, do not require too strong, this strength is imperceptible, accumulated a lot, used for ten years, quenched with qi, and finally reached the resonance of white dirt, which is the highest level of strength in the outside world."

"Vibes?"

"Yes, the strength is to wash the marrow and change the blood, reincarnate the bones, to achieve the strength of the body, the internal strength can be long, support the body to fight with great intensity, this is to kill the enemy externally, if you can turn around, dig yourself, let your own blood and energy, wash the internal organs, moisturize the whole body, let the internal organs resonate in unison, all be nourished, you can control this blood flow as you like, you can break through to the next level."

Luo Zhaoyun suddenly brightened up, and he already understood his next direction, but he immediately said in distress: "However, I don't have the mantra and method of exercising gong, and relying on myself to meditate is useless!" ”

The middle-aged swordsman said: "That's it, you have a life-saving grace for me, I want to return this cause and effect, and give you a set of formulas, not the law of my sect, but when I flipped through the ancient scrolls of the sect's Tibetan scriptures, I accidentally got it." ”

"Thank you so much." Luo Zhaoyun hugged his fists and thanked him.

"This is nothing compared to you saving me from pursuit, and I have been taken care of by you for the past few days, and I can see it in my eyes, and I can make you a little friend."

When Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he was overjoyed, knowing that his behavior seemed to have moved the other party, and asked: "Then I don't know the name of the senior?" ”

"Shen Guyun!"

"It's Senior Shen!"

"You don't have to call me senior, just call me Brother Shen." Shen Guyun waved his hand, wanting to intersect with his peers.

"Remember these mantras, they don't have names, but they have a good effect, and they can be used as your practice. Close your eyes and sit with your heart closed, hold your hands and meditate on God. Thirty-six knocks, holding Kunlun ...... with both hands"

Luo Zhaoyun listened carefully and memorized silently, and after listening to it twice, he memorized it.

Next, Shen Guyun explained the meaning of each sentence to him, as well as specific actions, breathing essentials, and after the demonstration, let Luo Zhaoyun personally experience it.

Meditating, breathing, and calming down, gradually, Luo Zhaoyun felt like a glass of water, precipitating impurities and purifying his mind.

Unconsciously, he seemed to be asleep, as if he was awake but not awake, breathing softly, entering a unique feeling, waking up an hour later, feeling refreshed, full of energy, and much more peaceful in his heart.

Shen Guyun nodded and praised: "Yes, your concentration is very good, the first time you practice, you will soon be able to calm down, maybe in three years, you will be able to break through to the next realm." ”

Luo Zhaoyun humbly asked for advice, and the two got along for a few more days, until the seven-day period arrived, Shen Guyun got up to say goodbye and continued to practice.

"Brother Shen, take care!"

Shen Guyun said: "Well, Zhaoyun, you have very good qualifications, stick to it, at least in the world, there will be few opponents in the future, and you will become a real invincible general." ”

Luo Zhaoyun thought of Yu Chengdu, and was immediately full of fighting spirit, maybe in a few years, he would be able to compete with him. (To be continued.) )
