Chapter 37: Chinese Kung Fu
"Listen, I'll teach you the Daomen Inner Dangong first. Our Taoist internal strength is a method of self-physical and mental training through the close combination of mind, pranayama and body, with the main purpose of practicing essence and spirit, and relaxation and meditation as the core. Taoist internal gong refers to the essence and spirit as the three treasures of the human body, which are the main material and functional basis for the life activities of the human body. The essence and spirit are interdependent and mutually transformed, and the essence is the foundation, the qi is the driving force, and the god is the dominant force. ”
"Little Taoist, I have a question?"
Li Meilian raised her hand to ask, interrupting the Taoist priest's words.
"Please!"
"Is this spirit and spirit a substance?"
The question was tricky, and most people would think she was provoking, but the Taoist priest nodded approvingly.
"Existence is matter, do you think that if you can't see it, it's not matter?"
Seeing that she was still ignorant, the Taoist priest couldn't help but continue to explain: "We can't see oxygen either, but if it's not a substance, how can it live our lives?"
"It seems like that's the case. ”
Li Meilian sniffed, which was regarded as approving the Taoist priest's words.
"If you don't believe in oxygen and don't breathe, even if it's in your mouth, you can't live. In the same way, if you don't believe in having spirit and don't pay attention to exercise, even if they are around you, you can't practice!"
Li Meilian laughed and said: "In your Taoist words, those who believe in it have it, and those who don't believe in it have nothing?"
"Serious!" The Taoist priest knocked on the table, and finally replied: "Rotten wood can still be carved!"
"You stinky Taoist, you are the rotten wood!"
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. Seeing that Li Meilian was angry, the Taoist priest quickly turned his head and said, "Let's analyze the spirit and spirit more deeply!"
With the Taoist priest's eloquent speech, Li Meilian understood that "essence" is matter, and everything in heaven and earth can be material. When things are exhausted and people die, they are transformed into "qi", into the creation of heaven and earth, and become a part of heaven and earth. "God", as our individual will, is distinguished from heaven and earth and all things in heaven and earth, and has an autonomous consciousness. If heaven and earth are inherent and shared, then all things in heaven and earth are private and self-used.
"Everything in heaven and earth is burning itself in its operation, passively transforming into the creation of heaven and earth. And it is not an exaggeration to understand that we can transform the creation of heaven and earth into our own body and use it for our own use through the correct channeling technique. These creations (qi) that we have channeled can be used by us, and they can also nourish our own (essence). ”
"Oh, I see!"
Li Meilian shouted excitedly, as if she had an epiphany.
"What do you understand? Tell me about it. ”
"Western strength training is like increasing strength by accelerating the burning of oneself, while we are borrowing strength to fight and nourish strength. ”
"It's good to know how to draw inferences. The Taoist priest reached under his chin and stroked it a few times, but he hurriedly put his hand down without touching his beard, and continued to pretend to say: "I'll teach you this method of borrowing strength to fight and nourish strength now." ”
At the moment, the Taoist priest is in the restaurant to guide Li Meilian to practice the Taoist inner Dangong guidance method, there are not many people in the restaurant, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed. For those whose souls don't enter the game, they rarely go to restaurants to eat, and they usually come to eat when they are dying, and besides, even if someone passes by them, they don't worry, because no one outside the game can hear what they say.
"The two hands draw an arc and extend forward, forming a circle, meaning to guard the dantian, and the hands are slowly retracted, imagining the ...... of the heaven and earth aura to his dantian."
More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Meilian began to have some doubts, can she really practice kung fu in this way?
She wanted to give up unconsciously, and she was no longer so active in practicing. Until one night, she felt as if someone had pricked her navel in her sleep, and something in her stomach was beating violently. At first, she thought it was the umbilical cord that caused the problem, and she was scared to death, but slowly she remembered the words of the little Taoist, and she concentrated on the throbbing part of her stomach, trying to control the restless thing.
On the second day, she told the Taoist priest about her situation, and the Taoist priest said that she had already achieved a preliminary degree in Neidangong.
"Very good, you have a sense of gas in half a month, and you are very talented. I am now teaching you how to breathe and breathe and how to walk the inner qi meridians, so that you can better control the qi in your body and gradually increase it. ”
A month later, when the Taoist priest inspected Li Meilian's body, he was so surprised that he couldn't help asking, "How did you practice?"
"It's just your way!"
"No way, there must be something else. ”
"I still practice meditation with Aunt Lin, is there any problem?"
"No wonder, you practice meditation to enhance the vital god of the essence and energy, so practicing the inner pill gong is also twice the result with half the effort, your month is worth my achievements in the past year. ”
"Yay, that's great!"
"Don't be too happy, good internal skills don't mean that kung fu is good, there is still a long way to go. I will teach you Tai Chi now, and transform your internal strength into internal strength, which can be regarded as real kung fu only after you have practiced it. ”
The Taoist priest poured cold water on her, cooling her overjoyed head. Then he instructed her to do the various movements and showed her the essentials of the movements.
"Take the waist as the axis, take the feet as the guide, move the center of gravity left and right, loosely turn the waist, drive the arm to do the shape of the arc, and the internal strength to walk the spiral rotation movement, do not use the hand, drive the whole body from the waist, so that from the root to the tip, from the inside to the outside continuous ......"
"What does it mean from root to tip?"
"The human body has three sections, upper, middle and lower, and there are three sections of the root of the tip, and the upper, middle and lower have the upper, middle and lower, and the root of the tip has the root of the tip, and the three and three are nine sections. The Taoist priest patiently continued to explain: "The head is the tip section, the chest is the middle section, and the lower dantian is the root section, which is the three sections of the body, that is, the middle three sections; The hand is the tip joint, the elbow is the middle section, and the shoulder is the root joint, which is the three arm sections, that is, the three tip sections; The foot is the tip joint, the knee is the middle section, and the crotch is the root joint, which is the leg three sections, that is, the root three sections. ”
While explaining, the Taoist priest carefully compared to her: "Each of the nine knots has its own knots, and the three knots are three: Lao Gong is the knots, Quchi is the middle knots, and the shoulder well is the root knots; Middle three sections and three tips: the upper dantian is the tip of the knuckle, and the middle dantian is the middle knuckle...... When practicing, under the guidance of the mind, follow the scriptures, relax and run through, and exercise to do the three words of starting, following and chasing, that is, starting from the tip section, following the middle section, and chasing the root section, so that the internal qi runs in the three sections, and reaches the four ends ......"
Li Meilian practiced hard under the guidance of the Taoist priest, doing thousands of repetitive movements, so after half a month, she felt that there was an internal force born from her feet, and with the movement of her body, the knots moved up and down.
After the Taoist priest found out, he praised her: "Very good, very rare, you are now a beginner in Taijiquan, I will now teach you how to use Taijiquan internal strength, how to make it a means of fighting." ”
