Chu Liuyan said: "I told you that the highest level of practicing internal strength is body knowledge. It is the body itself that knows the movement of qi. That would be a freewheeling state. Now all our practices are working towards such a goal, and as for what kind of state we can ultimately achieve, none of us can be sure at the moment. Our current practice is actually a process of adjusting the flow of qi and blood. In our human body, the flow of qi and blood is regular, and there is a certain order and time for it. For example, in the sub-hour, which internal organ will the qi and blood run to, and at noon, which organ will run to...... Then there are twelve hours in a day, twenty-four hours. At the end of these twelve hours, the qi and blood will run around the body, which is called a week. This week is present in everyone's body and does not need to be practiced, and it is called the Innate Great Zhoutian. ”

After hearing this, Fat Dahai hurriedly said: "Zhou Tian, I know, I see that in the martial arts, these two words are often mentioned, and there is no such thing as Xiao Zhou Tian." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded: "That's right, I'm going to talk about Xiao Zhoutian soon." The congenital anniversary is born to run non-stop as long as you live. The purpose of our practice of internal strength is to control the rapid operation of internal forces in the body, and strive to complete the operation that should be completed in one day in an hour or even less. The method of pranayama that your third uncle taught you before made use of this theory. You think, it used to take a whole day for qi and blood to walk around the body. In an hour, you can let the qi and blood go in a circle, so it will quickly replenish the body's energy and relieve the body's fatigue. It's just that you didn't do enough pranayama before, so you couldn't achieve the desired effect at all. ”

We nodded frequently when we listened, and we only knew how to learn according to what the third uncle taught, but we only knew what it was. Only then can I truly understand its essence and truth.

Chu Liuyan continued: "This day after tomorrow is divided into two kinds of Zhoutian, one is the big Zhoutian and the other is the small Zhoutian. Xiao Zhou Tian is what the fat man just said, it is to control qi and blood and only bypass the second pulse of Ren Du, the speed is fast but the long power is slow. The Great Zhou Tian refers to the control of qi and blood around all the meridians of the body, and the long power is fast but the speed is slow. Moreover, this level of internal cultivation is very difficult to achieve, and only those who have cultivated "body knowledge" can do it. At least not at the moment, Dongbin and I can't do it. What you need to practice at the moment is to be able to achieve Xiao Zhoutian. ”

Fat Dahai looked happy and said, "Master, Xiao Zhou Tian is to let the qi and blood bypass the second vein of Ren Du." It turns out that people really have the second vein of Ren Du, I thought this was all made up in martial arts. ”

Chu Liuyan nodded: "Martial arts are also well-founded. Of course, people have two veins, starting from the top of the head to the Baihui acupoint, and down to the crotch. The central line in front of the body is the Ren pulse, and the central line behind the body is the Du pulse. I will mark out the two meridians of this Rendu, as well as the important acupuncture points and organs around the two meridians, and you will practice pranayama every day. This is a long-term process, and we must not be greedy. Of course, the progress of the adjustment cannot be slowed down, this Liang Yue must keep up. ”

"Don't worry, uncle." Liang Yue patted his chest and said.

I glanced at Liang Yue: "When will my uncle become your uncle?" ”

Liang Yue pouted: "I learned internal skills from my uncle, but my uncle doesn't accept female apprentices, so I have to call my uncle." Why are you only allowed to scream, but not me? ”

Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "You can call it anything." I don't stick to titles, you just need to learn by heart. Starting tomorrow, we do pranayama practice. However, this pranayama practice is a long-term practice, and in half a month, I believe you will be able to master the practice. Then you don't have to come here every day. ”

As for the practice of internal strength, we all understand that it is definitely a protracted process. Cultivators like Chu Liuyan and my third uncle, and even first-class masters in the Xuanmen such as Ouyang or others, are still practicing, not to mention the mallet players like us who have only been getting started for a few days. 16 reading

may be that seeing that our emotions are not too high-pitched, Chu Liuyan was afraid that we would give up halfway, and said: "If you want to have great success, it will take time." But if you practice this method for a month, I will be able to let you see Xiaocheng. ”

Fat Dahai was very interested and asked, "Master, how far can Xiaocheng go?" ”

Chu Liuyan waved his hand: "I'll sell this first, and you'll know when the time comes." However, this month, you should strictly follow the methods I have taught you, first of all, you should not eat too heavy oily meat, and it is best to quit meat. And sleep up to four hours at night, depending on the situation. In addition to sleep, the rest of the time is pranayama according to the method of breathing, and strive to walk for a small week. ”

For a month, I can only sleep for a maximum of four hours at night, and I rely on my own pranayama to adjust my body. It's definitely a test for us. Listening to Chu Liuyan's ease, we actually don't know the bottom in our hearts.

This time, in order to ensure the quality of our training, Chu Liuyan simply did not let us go back to the hotel, and let us stay in the practice room at night, and breathe according to the mantra he said about the flow of heart and qi and blood. I was so sleepy that I could only squint on the mat for a while, and the time was controlled by Liang Yue. Of course, this time she practiced with us, and we could also supervise her.

This is also the reason why Chu Liuyan let us stay together.

In the beginning, I found it difficult for me to do it. Because I have tried before, pranayama can indeed improve one's spirit, but it is still impossible to completely replace sleep with pranayama.

And this time we completely abandoned the previous pranayama method, Chu Liuyan said that the previous one was taught to us by the third uncle. This time he started from the basics, which made us feel reborn.

At first, I was skeptical, but on the first night, when I channeled the qi and blood in my body according to the new pranayama method, I suddenly felt a completely different feeling from before.

It's a hard feeling to describe, and if I had to find one word to describe it, it's "comfortable".

The muscles are comfortable, the viscera are comfortable, and the breathing is comfortable...... Everything seems so logical. It's like that's how my body should react.

In this case, I quickly entered a state of self-forgetfulness. Soon, where am I...... What am I doing...... Questions like these are also out of my mind. It's like I've emptied my head, and my body seems to be levitating......
