Chapter 18: The Wonderful Use of Breath Shielding
Because Saint Te didn't argue with Lorna, he asked step by step: "I ask you, why do almost all mutants have uncontrollable abilities?" ”
"Because of genetic mutations."
Lorna had apparently done her homework and was not ignorant of mutants: "When the X gene in our body awakens, the body undergoes a sea change in an instant, as if it were a baby again, and we have to toddle from scratch." ”
"It's right, and it's very vivid."
Because of the saint's head of affirmation, and then added: "However, in my opinion, this is actually not that complicated, your ability will be out of control, because after awakening, the "qi" in the body grows wildly, completely beyond the scope of your own control, take you as an example, the strength of your "qi" is a hundred times that of ordinary people, but the control is still the level of ordinary people, how can you control your own "qi"? ”
Lorna studied under Colleen Win, although she didn't know much about "qi", she was not a stranger, and asked half-incomprehensibly: "Boss, I didn't understand, are you going to teach me how to control my own 'qi'?" ”
"I can't teach you."
Insaint shook his head: "The mutant's 'qi' is very special, and the personality is too strong, no one can teach you except yourself." ”
With that, just as Lorna pursed her lips in disappointment, the words in Saint's mouth changed: "Well, well, I can teach you a technique called 'breath shielding', so that you can block your own qi." ”
"Shielding yourself from your own air?"
Lorna's eyes lit up, and she guessed by inference: "Does it mean that as long as I learn this 'breath shielding', I can block my mutant ability and make myself like an ordinary person?" ”
"That's the most basic role."
Insente nodded affirmatively, and explained in detail: "At the beginning, you can only completely shield your own qi, after shielding, as you said, just like ordinary people, you have completely lost the ability to mutate, and when you have completely mastered the 'breath shielding', you can also adjust the degree of shielding as you like." ”
"Why should I adjust the level of shielding?"
Lorna tilted her head a little puzzled: "I think the safest way to do it shouldn't be to maintain a completely shielded state at all times, and never untie it until it is a last resort?" ”
"Although what you said is true, this is a palliative rather than a cure."
Insente patiently explained: "In fact, through the 'breath shielding', you can gradually improve your control, for example, your current qi is the strength of a hundred people, you can block out ninety percent of the qi, so that you can use the qi, there is only one person's strength left, although in this case, your ability will become very weak, but the weak has the advantage of being weak, that is, it is very easy to control, by gradually reducing the degree of shielding, in the end, you will be able to completely control your own qi, and you no longer need to rely on it." Breath shielding', and there will be no hidden danger that has the ability to get out of control. ”
Lorna listened to Inshengte's slow words with a serious face, and the more she listened, the brighter her eyes became, and finally waited for his words to fall, and immediately couldn't wait to speak: "Boss, please teach me!" ”
"Don't worry, if I teach you, I will definitely teach you."
Insente waved his hand and signaled Lorna to be calm: "It's just that there are some things that I have to make clear to you first, and you listen carefully." ”
Lorna nodded hurriedly, signaling that she was very serious: "Boss, you said, I listened." ”
Because of Shengte's "um", with a solemn face full of solemnity, he instantly entered the state of the actor: "Breath shielding is the unique skill of our 'Turtle Immortal Flow', although I am willing to make an exception to teach you, but, without my permission, you must not teach others, otherwise, I will personally take action, even if it is to chase to the ends of the earth, I must kill all the people who steal the school and clean up the portal!" ”
When the last sentence was spoken, because Shengte had already entered the play too deeply, and in his eyes, there was murderous anger, and Luo Na, who was sitting opposite him, was obviously suppressed, and promised very seriously: "Boss, I swear, I will never teach others privately." ”
"Okay."
Insente's face relaxed, he stood up and said, "Follow me." ”
The two of them went up to the second floor of the restaurant and walked into the ashram where Insaint practiced on weekdays, and Lorna looked around with a surprised face, only to see that this empty ashram room did not even have windows, except for the walls, only the floor, and it was really a home.
Insente sat down on the floor, pointed to the position half a meter in front of him, and said to Lorna, "Sit cross-legged." ”
After the two of them sat down relatively well, Yin Shengte spoke: "To learn 'breath shielding', you must first be able to sense your own qi, can you do it?" ”
Lorna thought for a moment and replied uncertainly: "Whenever I use my mutant ability with all my might, colorful light will appear on my hands, just like the Northern Lights, I can clearly feel that that light is the source of my strength, I think, that's my 'qi', right?" ”
"Uh......"
Insente showed a slightly dumbfounded expression, and only after a while did he speak: "It's also ...... I can't say it's wrong, it's just a bit of putting the cart before the horse, that's just the explicit form of your qi, not the essence of qi, you know, it's your qi that creates the aurora, not the aurora that creates your qi, can you understand that? ”
"I don't understand ......"
Yin Shengte looked at Luo Na who was full of ignorance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, expecting a foreigner to deeply understand the essence of Chinese kung fu is indeed a bit difficult, he thought about it for a while, thought about it, stretched out his right hand to Luo Na and said: "In this way, give me your hand, I will let you feel my qi first." ”
A moment later, just like Joey Micham before, Lorna looked at her fingers in a daze, completely speechless in shock: "This ...... This ......"
"That's gas."
Because of the interruption of the "breath giving", the Holy Te timely reminded: "Remember this feeling, rely on it to sense your own qi, this is a sixth sense beyond the five senses, so do not be confused by your own senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, and focus on your spirit." ”
After a long while, Lorna, whose eyes were closed, opened her eyes with a depressed face: "Boss, I can't do it." ”
"It's okay."
Insaint didn't expect her to succeed once, and stretched out her right hand again: "Let's do it again." ”
An hour later......
Lorna, who had failed more than a dozen times in a row, began to have little confidence in herself, tried to find some balance in Insente, and asked, "Boss, how long did it take you to sense your own qi?" ”
