Chapter 219: The Marquis's Summons (I)

After talking to Leona, Robin began to devote himself to self-training in the way Leona offered.

During this time, chewing gum became almost a hobby for Robin, and he chewed gum incessantly every minute and every second, so much so that he could barely swallow his food when he ate because of the sore jaw muscles.

In addition to chewing gum every day, Robin began to spin two metal balls in his hand like the old old people. Later, the number of metal balls changed from two to three, three to four, and even when working, Robin tried to do it with one hand so that he could free the other hand to spin the metal balls.

In the evening, Robin's training program became zazen and dantian breathing.

Dantian breathing, also known as the Xiong abdominal combined breathing method, requires the two ribs to be expanded, the diaphragm to descend, the xiong part to lean forward, the lower abdomen to adduct naturally, and the back of the waist to be firm. When exhaling, use the abdominal muscles to control the size and strength of the exhalation, and form a support point at the three fingers below the navel of the lower abdomen.

This method of breathing has been widely used in opera and opera interpretations in the old era, and it is the most basic basic skill in vocal training. In addition, in the training of some sports and fighting events, some of this kind of Xiong abdominal combined breathing training will also be appropriately carried out to enhance the use of breath by the trainees, and enhance the endurance and instant explosive power of the trainees from the side.

Robin Jīng is a hand-to-hand fighter and was the most prominent football quarterback at Wald's Third Military Academy during his time at the Academy, so he is no stranger to this kind of joint breathing. It's just that the abdominal training that Leona is giving him now is more complicated and difficult to control the rhythm of the breath, which consumes him a lot of time, but overall, he still barely completes this breathing training and has achieved the level of proficiency.

What really caused trouble for Robin was actually the simplest project of all, zazen.

In the eyes of most people, zazen is probably a simple project. Find a quiet place to sit cross-legged, relax and relax. As long as you have completed these three items, you will basically enter the state of zazen.

However, for Robin, it was difficult to complete these three projects.

Of course, finding a quiet place to rest is the easiest thing to do, and at Leona's behest, ao95 has already arranged a secluded cabin for Robin that no one disturbs, and as long as Robin walks into this cabin, then no one will bother Robin again. As for total body relaxation, this is not difficult for Robin, who has a 'subtle' nature, and he can easily put himself into a state of total body relaxation.

However, when it comes to emptying himself, Robin has a big problem.

Accustomed to being in the position of a leader and in charge of the overall situation, Robin is constantly faced with all kinds of problems, which makes his brain constantly in a load working mode, even when he is resting, his brain cannot completely get rid of this working state. As a result, while he is in zazen, he always suddenly remembers a problem that he has not yet solved, and then naturally begins to think of a solution.

Later, realizing this, Robin began to consciously prevent himself from thinking about these things. But the effect of this forcible suppression is not good, when he begins to consciously prevent himself from thinking about business, some trivial matters and some 1uan messy thoughts will involuntarily pop up in his mind, torturing him unspeakably.

Because he was never able to enter the empty mode, Robin's zazen became stiff. Sitting for a long time made Robin's muscles and joints sore and unbearable, and coupled with the lack of a reasonable amount of sleep due to the failure of zazen, Robin's jīng god state became worse and worse, and when he performed zazen again at night, his mood began to become more and more irritable, which eventually caused a vicious cycle, which made Robin's jīng god condition worse and worse, so that some adverse reactions began to appear in the body.

It wasn't until Leona had a problem with Jīng's heart that she had been in a bad state for a long time that began to improve.

In fact, in the field of medicine, smell has always been a routine means of treating the diseases of the jīng god. Through scientific certification, different smells will cause different physiological changes, such as can prick the brain, Tianzhu hua has the effect of calming the nerves, eliminating fatigue, and adding sleep, and the aroma of Guihua can relieve depression and have a certain effect on some patients with manic jīng neurosis, while white chrysanthemum, mugwort leaves, and silver hua have the effect of lowering blood pressure.

Therefore, through this kind of aromatherapy blended by Leona's jīng heart, Robin's jīng state during zazen is obviously not as irritable as it begins. Gradually, he will be able to empty his mind for a period of time, which will slow down his heart rate and make the metabolism of the whole body extremely slow.

Slowing down the heart rate and lowering one's metabolism is actually the biggest effect of zazen. When entering this state similar to suspended animation, all biological functions in the human body will be slowed down, which will greatly reduce the proportion of oxygen in the human body, and from the perspective of oxidation, the degree of oxidation of the human body in this mode will be much lower than the normal state.

While most bodily functions are slowing down, the pineal gland in the human body is not disturbed. After being blocked from other external energies such as light, the pineal gland naturally releases melatonin according to the night pattern. Melatonin is the most powerful antioxidant in the human body, which can quickly remove free radicals formed by oxidation in the body, and repair body cells damaged by oxidation.

The lifespan of human beings is actually a process in which human beings are oxidized and decayed. When melatonin completely repairs the free radicals formed by daytime oxidation in zazen mode, it is equivalent to saving the life consumed by the human body during the day. If this balance can be achieved, then the eternity of life will no longer be a myth. For now, though, it's just a hypothesis. After all, the human body is inseparable from the supply of oxygen every minute and every second, so the degree of oxidation to generate free radicals is definitely much higher than the scavenging degree of melatonin, and under this premise, immortality has become an unattainable luxury.

And put aside this extravagance, if you simply focus on the effect. Then zazen did play an immeasurable role in raising Robin's 5-hT value.

This is because in a state of empty thinking, all the functions of the body will be greatly reduced. To a certain extent, this reduces the workload of EEG, so that the brain no longer needs to consume a large amount of EEG to dominate the body, which makes the EEG produce a surplus, and the bioelectric impulses in the body and the neural network form a unique energy internal circulation, and with this internal circulation, it helps the pineal gland secrete 5-hT during the day and quickly increases the 5-hT value.

It took a week for Robin to finally get the hang of training, and the 5-hT value, which had been stagnant for several years, began to gradually increase, which suddenly made Robin feel very good. Although he has become the laughing stock of almost the entire Tiger camp during this time, even ao95 has started jokingly calling him an early old age, but at least now the situation has begun to show its positive side, and this alone makes Robin feel that this week's hard work is completely worth it.

And it was after Robin had just mastered the training method that AO95 finally completed the 'assembly number'... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
