Chapter 15: Genius Handyman
After Lu Cheng waited until the three carriages were far away, he found a secret place and followed the cultivation method of the Vertical Body Technique: standing with his legs slightly bent, his feet shoulder-width apart, slightly inward, and ten toes grasping the ground. At the same time, the tip of the tongue lightly touches the palate, overhangs the top, verticalizes the neck, slightly closes the jaw, pulls the back with the chest, sinks the shoulders and elbows, lifts the levator anus, loosens the lower abdomen, and the hands naturally hang down on the sides of the legs, and the whole body is relaxed.
At the same time, both eyes are at distance level, or the eyelids are lowered to look at the tip of the nose. In front of Lu Cheng was Datong Mountain, and there were trees blocking it, so he had to lower his eyes and look up at the front of his nose intently.
This is the introductory posture of the longitudinal technique, which requires internal strength to cooperate. Lu Cheng is now the second layer of internal strength, and the dantian already has a sea of qi, although it is still relatively thin, it is already suitable for cultivating the longitudinal technique. Although Songjiazhuang stipulates that it is necessary to start cultivating martial arts at the fourth level of internal strength, in fact, these martial arts, even if they are the first layer of internal strength, can be cultivated.
It's just that the internal strength is not deep, and if you start to cultivate martial arts, your energy will be scattered, and it will be even more difficult to advance in the cultivation of internal strength. The regulations of Songjiazhuang will allow the disciples to enter the third layer of internal strength before the age of twenty, and the fourth layer of internal strength before the age of thirty to thirty-five. With the four layers of internal strength as the foundation, cultivating martial arts can get twice the result with half the effort.
For example, a person, at the age of twenty, is the peak of the second layer of internal strength, one cultivates martial arts, and the other focuses on cultivating internal strength. By the age of thirty, those who cultivate martial arts may still be at the peak of the second layer of internal strength, but if they cultivate internal strength, they will definitely be able to enter the third layer. In a few years, when the cultivator enters the fourth layer, he will be able to quickly catch up with the person who has just started to cultivate the martial arts, but at the same time, his internal strength will be even deeper, and the people who have cultivated the martial arts in front will never be able to catch up with him again.
But Lu Cheng's situation was a little different, his internal strength was originally cultivated by the traction of inductive force. And his induction is unique in this world. His inductive power can strengthen the cultivation of the mental method and improve the internal strength. At the same time, after the internal strength is improved, it can promote the growth of induction. He went from cultivating his internal strength to the second layer of his internal strength, and it only took him a month. If it was replaced by someone else, such as Liang Hao, it would have taken seven years.
Lu Cheng's hands were clenched into fists, and they were moved to his back, and the root of his index finger, which is the tip of the fist, against the Kidney Yu points on both sides. The strength of the tip of Lu Cheng's fist became greater and greater, until the kidney Yu acupoint felt painful swelling, and then slowly stopped the afterburner.
Then, start shaking your waist and abdomen, first twisting left and then leaning forward, then right, and finally leaning back, clockwise in a circle. At the beginning, Lu Cheng's amplitude was not large, but slowly, he increased the amplitude. Moreover, the internal strength in his dantian, along with his movements, began to flow in the acupuncture points and meridians of the body.
As his amplitude increased, the speed of internal energy flowed faster and faster. As Lu Cheng became more and more familiar with this action, the speed became faster and faster. If someone was by Lu Cheng's side at this time, he could see that there seemed to be a circle in the middle of his body. Lu Cheng didn't know how many turns he had shaken, so he suddenly slowed down and began to shake counterclockwise.
If Song Kaixuan was here at this time, he would definitely be so surprised that his jaw fell to the ground. When he first started to practice the Vertical Technique, he was guided by a Master. And when he first started shaking, he was not like Lu Cheng, who only shook his waist and abdomen, but used his head to drive his waist and abdomen to shake. After only a few dozen shakes, he will be dizzy and swollen, and even the qi and blood will flow backwards. I can only follow the rules, shake little by little, and after ten days and a half months, I am familiar with the skills.
But now Lu Cheng is only cultivating for the first time, not only is he familiar with the skills, but he is also able to guard the dantian and let the internal energy flow quickly in the meridians. If Song Kaixuan is a genius, then isn't Lu Cheng a genius among geniuses? Practicing martial arts really requires talent, and the current Lu Cheng's cultivation speed is rare in the world.
After shaking a meal in the direction and back, Lu Chengyi guarded the dantian and rubbed the tips of his two fists on the two kidney Yu points again. When there was a feeling of soreness and heat at the acupuncture points, it slowly stopped again. Then, his two fists turned into palms, moving forward from the Kidney Yu acupoint through the two flanks, close to the lower abdomen. The thumb is pressed on the upper edge of the lower abdomen, the remaining four fingers are down, the lower edge of the lower abdomen is pressed tightly, the two hands are facing each other, the dantian part is protruded in the middle, and then the lower abdomen is blocked up and down dozens of times.
Lu Chengyi guarded the dantian, his lower abdomen sank, and when he felt that the qi of the dantian was getting stronger and stronger, he slowly stopped. The mental method of the indulging technique, Lu Cheng can be regarded as entering the door. But cultivating light skills is not just about having a mental method. Indulgence is a martial art that requires a lot of practice. For example, running, running piles, running bricks, and top work. Although Lu Cheng's talent is very high, and his comprehension ability is also very strong, it does not mean that geniuses do not need to learn. In fact, in many cases, a genius needs to put in more effort in order to make people marvel that he is a genius.
It's just that it's too late now, otherwise, he really wants to practice the basic skills of the body technique again. Only when the basic skills are solid, the greater the achievement of the vertical technique.
Lu Cheng took Song Kaixuan's exquisite leather bag, looked at it carefully, and found that there was a very complicated knot on it. This made him very curious, and he wanted to open it to take a look, but as soon as his hand touched the knot, he immediately retracted. Why do you have to do such a senseless thing, this knot has the imprint of Song Jiazhuang, once it is opened by him, it will definitely be repaid, which will make Song Kaixuan suspicious.
At this time, he saw that it was getting late, so he turned around and ran towards Songjiazhuang. Song Ping learned that Lu Cheng had come back with his skin, and immediately took him to the inner courtyard. When Song Kaixuan came back, he instructed that no matter whether Lu Cheng found the skin or not, let Song Ping take Lu Cheng to meet him.
Except for the seventieth birthday of the owner Song Haoran the year before last, Lu Cheng came once, and this was the second time he entered the inner courtyard of Songjiazhuang. Quite cautious and frightened last time, Lu Cheng, who entered the inner courtyard again this time, seemed calm. He looked around at the best building in Songjiazhuang, even the empty floor in the front yard was paved with a whole piece of bluestone.
Then in the front hall, the roof ridge more than three feet high looks magnificent. In the center are two rows of chairs, each connected by a coffee table. At the position of the front gate, there are two tall Taishi chairs, and a table of eight immortals is placed in the middle. The rest of the place is suffocatingly empty, but it is this sense of suffocation that makes people who walk in here feel a sense of awe unconsciously when they walk in.
"Don't look any further, wait here, I'll go find the second young master. Song Ping pulled Lu Cheng's sleeve and said softly.
