Chapter 14 The Experiment of Holding Pu Void and Quiet
"You sit cross-legged first, like on TV. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lin Xu began to point out Huang Rong.
Huang Rong glanced at his legs, raised his head and said, "I can't move my legs, you can help me untie the acupoints first!"
"Didn't I say it, I've only learned to point points now, and I haven't learned to solve points yet. Lin Xu reiterated his previous words, he didn't fall for her, so he pointed to her leg and said, "You just use your hands to pull your legs, anyway, if you practice now, you don't need your legs." ”
When Huang Rong heard this, he couldn't help but glared at him angrily again, snorted, and then sat down cross-legged by himself. After sitting down, he straightened his posture and asked, "Okay, am I in the right position?"
"Yes. Lin Xu nodded and said, "Then hold your hands firmly and naturally put them on your knees." Note that this grip must be wrapped in the big finger. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Huang Rong and gestured his grip.
What he is teaching Huang Rong now is not the internal skill "Qing Ming Jue" engraved by Kong Konger in the secret room, but the "Secret of Holding Pu" that he himself has researched and sorted. The most basic introductory thing he wanted to teach Huang Rong was the meditation kung fu before formal cultivation.
He plans to test Huang Rong at the same time, and also experiment with Huang Rong's "The Secret of Holding Pu". Because of the internal skills he had researched and sorted out by himself, the other three people he had taught so far, Guan Wentao, Yue Junfeng, and his sister Lin Tong, had not been able to cultivate successfully. I couldn't even get in the door, and I was stuck in the meditation gate.
Among them, Yue Junfeng is a little better, Guan Wentao and Lin Tong both gave up directly after trying unsuccessfully, but Yue Junfeng continued to practice after trying. It is worth mentioning that after months of unremitting efforts, Yue Junfeng finally managed to successfully enter meditation before the summer vacation and was able to hold the dantian.
But in the next step of refining and refining qi with divine fire, he was stuck again, and he never succeeded in using divine fire. However, he was not discouraged by this, and continued to practice every day.
Among the three, the best performer was Yue Junfeng. But in the process of cultivating his internal strength, he was also stuck again and again, and his practice was very difficult. It can be said that every step is difficult, and every step requires great effort.
Later, after Lin Xu met Li Feiyan, he finally learned some basic knowledge of martial arts training from Li Feiyan, and then he learned that directly cultivating internal skills has high requirements for personal qualifications. A person like him who can directly cultivate internal strength from the beginning may not be able to find one out of 10,000 people, and there is no real one in 10,000, which is very rare.
And in his subsequent experience, it also proved that people like him are indeed very rare. Among all the martial arts practitioners he had met so far, except for Han Peng, who had died, like him, who had directly cultivated internal martial arts from the beginning, the rest of them were all cultivating external martial arts, and they were following the path of external training from the outside to the inside. And among these people, all of them still failed to practice internal qi.
Of course, four people like Huang Zongwen, Wei Changjiang and the Peng brothers are exceptions. In addition to the fact that these four people are already great masters with profound internal strength, he can't be sure what path the four of them took when they first started. After all, through the external training path from the outside in, it is also possible to finally cultivate the internal strength. Therefore, there is no way to confirm it, so it is temporarily excluded.
Except for these four masters, among the remaining martial arts practitioners he has met so far, only Han Peng is the same as him. With such a rarity, it can indeed be said that it is one in ten thousand, and it is extremely difficult to meet. can not meet such a person, Lin Xu has no real confidence in the "Secret of Holding Pu" that he has compiled and researched. I don't know if the internal skills I have made up have the universality of learning. Is it only he who can do it, or can someone else with the same qualifications as him do it?
And Guan Wentao, Yue Junfeng and his sister Lin Tong, who have been taught before, do not have the same qualifications as him, so they cannot get a reliable reference for these three people. Now that he finally found Huang Rong, who should also have this qualification, he will not let it go easily. If he wants to play well, he will inevitably find some suitable people to conduct more experiments, and then according to the results of the experiments, he will summarize the prime minister and find specific and feasible theories and methods.
From this point of view, it really looks like he is doing academic research. In essence, it is no different from physics, chemistry, etc. Invention and creation can only succeed through continuous experimentation. And his internal skills are also his own creation.
It's just a people's experiment, and at most it's a waste of materials. His experiment was going to be carried out on people from the beginning. Speaking of which, it inevitably seems a little inhumane. However, he just tried it at first, and this didn't do any harm. Meditation is just meditation to get rid of distracting thoughts, and it does not involve specific practice.
"That's it?" Huang Rong followed his movements, put his hands on his knees on both sides of his knees, and then said with some suspicion: "When I watch people practice internal skills on TV, don't they all gesture with both hands and do all kinds of movements, are you just that simple?"
Lin Xu said helplessly: "You said that it was TV, can you believe it all? The so-called internal strength is mainly carried out by the inside of the body, not by the outside of the gestures." The main reason for acting on TV is to express to the audience that it is practicing. Otherwise, just sitting still, and not being able to shoot inside the body, who knows if it is practicing or sitting. ”
"I can't believe what I played on TV, but don't you have all the light skills, internal skills, and acupoints, I'm not just following the speculation!" Huang Rong complained and paused for a while, then turned back to the topic and said, "Okay, then what next?"
Lin Xu said: "The next thing is to be quiet. To cultivate internal strength, we must be quiet, not only in the external environment, but also in our own hearts. As the saying goes, 'to the extreme, to keep quiet', only when one's body has reached the ultimate tranquility, can one perceive and experience the internal workings of the body. ”
"Yo, I also dragged up the ancient texts, Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" has come out, it really sounds like it!" Huang Rong said with a smile.
"Do you still study the Tao Te Ching in college?" Lin Xu couldn't help but ask strangely.
Confucius's "Analects" has often been excerpted and studied in Chinese textbooks since elementary school, but Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is relatively obscure, and ordinary people rarely know the specific content of "Tao Te Ching". In particular, the two sentences of "to the extreme, keep quiet" are not as famous as "the Tao is the way, the very way", "the law of man and the earth, the law of the earth, the law of the heavens, the law of the Tao, and the law of nature", and they may be heard elsewhere.
If Lin Xu hadn't happened to see this sentence in an article in "Qigong" magazine, he wouldn't have known that "To the Void, Keep Quiet" came from the Taoist ancestor Laozi's "Tao Te Ching". As soon as Huang Rong heard it, he knew that such an obscure sentence was from the Tao Te Ching, which inevitably made him a little strange and questionable.
"Don't learn. I didn't study high school either. Huang Rong shook his head and explained: "It's my father who often likes to read the Tao Te Ching, and often writes some sentences in the Tao Te Ching to practice words. I remember that my dad seemed to have told me about it before!
"Oh!" Lin Xu suddenly responded, but he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Could it be that Teacher Huang is the Huang Rong who was taught when she was a child, and then one day when she grows up, what method might be used to make her suddenly remember everything, so that she will naturally know martial arts?"
The phrase "to the extreme, to keep quiet" is mentioned in an article in the magazine "Qigong" that writes about the entry of Jinggong into the method. A closer look at the source of martial arts, especially in terms of internal strength, should come from Taoist alchemy. Therefore, in the "Qigong" magazine, there are many Taoist classics involved in excerpts, and some practice terms are often excerpts from the original sentences of Taoist classics. Therefore, if you want to study internal skills and practice them more profoundly, you will inevitably have to put some effort into Taoist classics. Huang Zongwen often reads the Tao Te Ching, which should be a proper thing. But he deliberately told Huang Rong when he was a child about the requirement of "to the void and to be quiet", which inevitably made Lin Xu suspect that he was teaching Huang Rong to practice at that time.
Of course, in addition to Taoism, there is another major source in the martial arts system, which is Buddhism, which is on the same level as Taoism. It's just that Lin Xu's current internal skills have not yet involved Buddhism, and most of the scriptures cited in the "Qigong" magazine are from Taoist classics. And the Wudang Hidden Immortal Sect from which Huang Zongwen was born is also obviously a Taoist sect. Although according to legend, Wudang patriarch Zhang Sanfeng was originally a monk who became a monk in Shaolin Temple, but it did not prevent people from eventually abandoning Buddhism and entering Taoism, creating a Wudang faction. And soon rose to dominate the martial arts, and the old-timers of Shaolin were called.
