Chapter 2 Going Astray

"From tonight onwards, you must concentrate on cultivating your internal strength. Lu Zhong hardened his heart and said sternly. Since he was a child, he has doted on Lu Cheng very much, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.

From the age of five, Lu Zhong asked Lu Cheng to cultivate internal strength. But at that time, Lu Cheng was a child, and he was afraid of tired Lu Cheng, so he chose Lu Cheng to sit with hanging legs. There are two types of sitting styles for the introduction of cultivating internal strength, one is the cross-legged sitting style, and the cross-legged sitting style is divided into double disc, single disc, and free disc.

The double disc is the left foot on the right thigh, the right foot on the left thigh, and the hands together in front of the lower abdomen. This sitting method is just to stabilize and not shake, and it is not easy to do without considerable effort. The single disc is the left leg on top and the right leg on the bottom, and the gesture is the same as before. The free plate is a habitual sitting method for ordinary people, and he felt that he was not suitable for Lu Cheng, so he chose a hanging leg sitting style for him.

The so-called hanging leg sitting style is to sit on a chair of appropriate height, so that the thighs are kept level when sitting down. The calves are vertical, the feet are parallel to the ground, and the two fists can be placed between the knees. But even so, after a few months, Lu Cheng made no progress. Later, he switched to free set, single set and double set, but Lu Cheng was always unable to progress.

So much so that a few years later, many people thought that Lu Cheng was a waste of martial arts training. But Lu Zhong still didn't give up, he thought that he was too indulgent, but he hurt Lu Cheng.

"I've already told you many times about the precautions for practicing, and I'll emphasize it again today. Lu Zhong asked Lu Zhong to sit cross-legged on the bed and adopt a double-sided sitting position.

"Dad, don't say it, isn't it just the mouth, eyes, ears, and breath. Lu Cheng immediately said that sometimes his father's nagging is simply a punishment.

"Swallow first and then look inward, pay attention to your breathing, and don't use your mouth. Lu Zhong still admonished.

When cultivating internal strength, there are requirements for the five senses. For example, the mouth should be closed naturally, and the tip of the tongue should be rolled up against the roof of the mouth. When the saliva is secreted too much, the tongue is lowered and swallowed slowly, which is called "swallowing". In fact, it is the eyes, you have to close your eyes and look inward, and when you get to that step, you will look inward. If your mind is like a surge of thought during the exercises, you will open your eyes, look into the void or when the tip of your nose is less, interrupt your train of thought, close your eyes and sit again. This is called "Wisdom Sword Chopping Messy Silk".

Again, the ears should be used to pay attention to their breathing, keep calm and natural, and there is no rough sound. Finally, breathing, breathing is the key issue of the internal strength operation method, and the more you go to the back, the more important it is. Be sure to breathe naturally and don't intentionally take deep breaths or breathe fast or slow. First, pay special attention to exhalation, let it be natural when inhaling, and there is no disadvantage. Most importantly, don't breathe through your mouth.

He had been telling Lu Cheng about these matters ten years ago. Seeing that Lu Cheng followed his request, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was breathing naturally, he quietly exited the room. Practicing requires a quiet environment, although he can't provide a secret room for the doorman like Songjiazhuang's, but he will also try his best to create a relatively quiet environment for Lu Cheng. When Lu Cheng was cultivating, he sat at the door and waited for Lu Cheng to finish his work.

In fact, Lu Zhong didn't know that as soon as he left, Lu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. It wasn't because he was disturbing Lu Zhong, but it had become a habit. He raised his head slightly, and in the gap in the corner of the room, he stretched his gaze diagonally. At night in Tianhua Kingdom, the stars are brilliant, but Lu Cheng is not looking at the stars, nor the moon, but the night sky!

In fact, since he was five years old, Lu Cheng likes to look at the sky alone. At first, he was very interested in the stars in the night sky, especially those that twinkled and twinkled, and always felt that the other party was greeting him. But once, when he was bored, he deliberately forgot about the stars and the moon, and focused on staring at the stars and the darkest places, which made him find his interest.

There is boundless darkness between the stars, and most people look up at the sky and see glowing stars and moons. But if you shield all these luminaries, a new world will appear. Looking at the darkness in the night sky, the deeper and deeper, the deeper, the farther, the eternal, feel eternal.

Lu Cheng didn't know what kind of changes such a daily gaze would bring to him. But the more he stared at it, the more interested he became. Interest is always the best teacher, even when his father asked him to cultivate his internal strength, he would quickly turn his attention to night vision. For this reason, a small gap was made in the roof so that he could sit on the bed and watch the night sky.

When he was six years old, Lu Cheng felt as if there was an inexplicable force in the center of his eyebrows, but he didn't know what effect this force had, nor did he know what kind of effect it would have on his body. He only does what he likes, and until now, this force has become much and less, but he has not yet unearthed any special effect.

An hour later, the rain that had stopped began to fall again, and it was getting heavier and heavier. The clouds were thick tonight, and from time to time you could see lightning in the sky, followed by bursts of thunder. This had a certain impact on Lu Cheng's night vision, but Lu Cheng had already entered the dark vision at this time, and rain, lightning, and thunder were all great interference to him. But at this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate the rain, and he looked at the night sky in a strange way.

Suddenly, Lu Cheng felt the power at the center of his eyebrows, suddenly breaking out of his body, following his gaze, wearing the gap in the roof, penetrating the water droplets in the air, and shooting towards the boundless night sky!

After a long time, Lu Cheng slowly withdrew his gaze. The power at the center of his eyebrows also returned to him. Before, when Lu Cheng was just looking at it, he dimly felt a force in the center of his eyebrows. But now, he really felt it. Closing his eyes, Lu Cheng's divine sense wanted to look inwardly at this force, and soon, he found that he had made friends with this force.

When Lu Cheng focused his whole body's attention on this force, he found that he could slowly communicate with this force. When he pulled this power out of his eyebrows, he suddenly burrowed into the wall in front of him. When this force entered the wall, he felt as if he had also walked in, and he could see the soil in the wall clearly.

Lu Cheng seemed to have found a favorite toy all of a sudden, and he kept retracting this power before releasing it. Walls, tables, beds, bedding and even their own bodies. He didn't know what this force was, so he gave it a name, called Induction. He didn't know if this force could control the enemy, but he could feel everything. Although the distance was not far, only one zhang at most, it was as if he had an invisible hand and eyes.

Even, Lu Cheng could sense Lu Zhong sitting outside the door. He was very guilty and guilty in his heart, his father had given him everything, but he had gone astray, and for ten years, he had not even broken through the first layer of internal strength. Most of his childhood playmates already have internal strength, and a few of them have even broken through to the two layers of internal strength.

As soon as Lu Cheng got out of the house, Lu Zhong, who heard the movement, immediately stood up. He had been sitting in the doorway, and he was indifferent even when the thunder was rolling outside. But there was movement inside, and he stood up at once.

"Cheng'er, how is it?" Lu Zhong pushed open the door, grabbed Lu Cheng's wrist, and a wave of internal strength drilled in. But soon, he let out a silent sigh and let go of his hand.

"Dad, don't worry, maybe I'm a little different from others, maybe when will I break through the first layer. Lu Cheng saw his father's face and knew that he had disappointed him again. It's just that because of the induction, his confidence has increased greatly, if he still felt that he could only be a handyman in his life, then now, at least, he is also the most powerful handyman.

"I hope so. Lu Zhong's eyes showed a frustration that he had never felt before, and he knew that it was precisely because of his kindness that Lu Cheng could never become a martial artist again.
