Chapter 3: Health Preservation Begins with Soaking Your Feet
(The new book sets sail, welcome Lao Tie to leave a paw print,^_^)
……
In the days that followed, Li Sui'an stayed at home and did not come out.
He set a small goal for himself: work hard, work hard, and insist on soaking his feet for 100 days!
I was bored, and I wrote two motivational couplets to myself with my intact left hand:
If there is a will, there will be a way, and the immortal list will be tempered by thousands of tempers; Short-lived people, not afraid of the sky, soak their feet for a hundred days to break into the world.
The tree is ambitious, the hanging beam is piercing, and the bitterness will come one day; Accumulate the momentum of the building, smell the chickens and dance, and reward the golden autumn of tomorrow.
"Hmm~ eight wrongs, eight wrongs."
Li Sui'an was lying on the recliner, enjoying the maid's massage while admiring his own Mobao, feeling good about himself.
Automatically ignores the new skill information that just popped up in the skill tile.
"Calligraphy: LV1 Beginner (123/10000)."
The little narcissus said that she couldn't read it, but was shocked, "Master, you have to hurry up." ”
When the time comes, the master will be able to write with his right hand, and he won't have to look at such ugly words anymore.
Li Sui'an nodded and said, "Little Narcissus, you are not bad, the massage techniques are becoming more and more refined." ”
"It's just that your arms are a little thin, you are only fourteen years old, which is the age of growing your body, and the lord will reward you with two taels of silver, and you will buy some delicious supplements by yourself. Go back and ask Uncle Fu to give you more meat, so you have a long hand. ”
Her ancestors were doctors, and she has been exposed to them since she was a child, and she also knows some superficial medical skills and knows how to massage acupressure.
The family was backward, and the family couldn't support her, so she was sold to the Li family as a maid.
"Thank you, sir!"
Narcissus used her strength as soon as she was happy.
If you take home so much silver, your mother must be very happy, and she can also weave more new clothes for her brother.
"Hiss~"
"Narcissus, that acupuncture point doesn't need to be pressed so hard."
Narcissus smiled, "Master, this is Yongquan Cave." Kidney Qi begins on the soles of the feet, and the Taixi and Yongquan points are related to the kidneys and are the source of life. If it is not painful, if it hurts, it will not work, and if it hurts, it means that the old man's kidneys are not good. ”
Hmph, I still dislike my small hands, I haven't used my strength yet.
"What nonsense... Big truth. ”
Feeling the little maid's rivalry, she said more and more vigorously.
Li Sui'an immediately shut up obediently, his upper body was already curled up, and he bit his hand.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "all diseases start from the cold, and the cold is born from the feet".
The human foot is like the root of a tree, and the tree can flourish and grow because of its deep roots, and whether the human body is healthy or not, the foot is also very important.
It is not for nothing that the foot massage sword business in the previous life was so popular.
Kunpeng Mansion City is located in the cold north, and the winter time is particularly long.
There are also hot springs and bathhouses in the city, and once the temperature drops, business will be quite hot. But the place was somewhat low-end and unhygienic, and the coolies of the docks often gathered here.
Li Sui'an pondered whether he could open a hot spring spa club in the future, so that people in the world could also feel what it means to be a high-end and professional foot massage fun.
……
The arms are not flexible, and strenuous exercise is exempted.
Then read books, write, read newspapers, play chess, play the piano, draw and paint, and cultivate sentiments.
Be a person who is blessed with sexuality, cares about restaurants and business, is considerate of maids and workers, and understands the world from many aspects.
If you are not careful, you will have a few more life skills:
"Chess: LV1 Beginner (456/10000)."
"Rhythm: LV1 Beginner (247/10000)."
"Drawing Skills: LV1 Beginner (369/10000)."
This is also regarded as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is sparse.
What touched Li Sui'an the most was that he happened to see Chen Zhonghe, the "security captain" hired by the restaurant, practicing martial arts, and smashed a big bluestone with one punch.
Li Sui'an was shocked at the time, and immediately stepped forward to hook up enthusiastically.
According to Master Chen, he is just an ordinary quenching realm martial artist, and he has achieved a little success in quenching bones, and he is not a master.
People like him, who grasp a lot of money in the rivers and lakes, can only do some work for large families to take care of their homes.
Through talking with Master Chen, Li Sui'an also learned a lot about martial arts.
The primates of all things in this world always like to distinguish between high and low.
The civil and military officials in the court are divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks, from the first assistant of the first rank to the sesame petty official from the ninth grade, all of them are among the nine grades and eighteen orders. High and low, at a glance.
The same is true in the rivers and lakes.
I don't know when it started, and I don't know who started, martial arts also have the realm of nine grades like the court.
From the nine products to the first product, the nine realms are: into the strength, quenching the body, and entering the spirit; Hug Dan, Yugang, see God; True martial arts, human immortals, immortality!
Strength, as the name suggests, perceives the energy, accumulates the energy, and opens up the qi veins around the body. It is the process of consuming the body's qi, blood, essence, and refining qi.
Quenching the body is naturally refining the body.
This is not a single realm that can be achieved overnight, it requires skin, flesh, tendons, bones, viscera, and marrow, step by step, relying on each other, and refining the body.
After all, the human body is a whole, and if you quench your skin and flesh, you will naturally exercise your muscles and bones. It is difficult to completely distinguish them, tempered separately.
Therefore, the gap between the quenching realms is quite large.
The weak are strong and strong, and their strength is like that of an ox.
The mighty, the body of steel, like a dragon like an elephant.
There is a proverb in the rivers and lakes, "Quenching the body can be practiced for a lifetime".
Even if you enter the realm of "entering the gods", you can also continue to refine your physical body.
However, the vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes have only stayed in the first two realms all their lives.
Even the night watchmen of the Lantern Division on Lion Rock are mostly in the realm of the Eight Grades Quenching Body.
One step further, it is to enter the realm of gods.
I can see the subtle knowledge, open the hole on the dantian to know the sea, and glimpse the spirit.
It is already both internal and external, transcendent and transcendent to mortals.
In Kunpeng Mansion City, it can already be regarded as a master.
Even in the Lantern Division, the level has to be one hundred households.
Those who can open a martial arts hall in Kunpeng City must at least be a seven-rank martial artist who has entered the god realm.
Moreover, there are hundreds of civil and military officials above the court, and the same is true for martial arts in the rivers and lakes.
Some pay attention to the soul and the baby, and some pay attention to the physical body, focusing on different things, and the difference is very big.
After learning so much about the rivers and lakes, Li Sui'an's heart became more and more hot, and he only hoped that his arm would be good soon.
During the period of recuperation, his self-created "foot soaking" magic skill did not fall.
He even asked Master Huang for a lot of medicinal bath recipes, combined with his experience in soaking feet in his previous life, and tried many times.
The medicine for foot soaking is not to be scratched randomly, but to be based on the efficacy, such as strengthening the spleen and dampness, warming and replenishing qi, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and so on.
If you want to strengthen the spleen and promote dampness, you can often use Banxia, tangerine peel, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Poria cocos, Yam, Licorice, etc., and often soak it to help regulate stomach fire, dredge qi and blood, and help warm yang and water.
For warm and qi replenishment, use such as mugwort leaves, ginger, peppercorns, grass black, aconite, etc.
In particular, mugwort leaves are one of the most common foot soaking herbs, which help to warm the meridians and activate the meridians, dispel dampness and dispel cold, and have certain benefits for the muscles, joints and blood of the feet and legs.
The one that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis is the kind that Li Sui'an used to use before.
He found that different combinations of medicinal herbs also had slightly different effects on the increase in skill proficiency.
Once he soaks his feet a day, he can't keep soaking all the time, so he doesn't know if his proficiency will increase, and his feet will rot first.
The soaking time does not exceed two quarters of an hour at most, and more soaking does not increase the proficiency level more.
It is best to soak before going to bed at night, and this time gives the most proficiency.
After soaking your feet and then pressing a rub, you can also increase your proficiency by at least 100 points at a time.
It's not just about soaking your feet.
Li Sui'an's daily habits have also changed a lot.
