In the late autumn morning, a fog enveloped the land.

The lake lies there quietly, like a mirror, reflecting the gray clouds in the sky and the reflections of the trees, and the breeze blows, creating layers of ripples.

The mountains in the distance, shrouded in mist, loom in a sense of mystery and tranquility, as if nature had not yet woken up from its slumber.

On the grass by the lake, Jiang Sheng was quietly doing a handstand.

Now his physique has reached 10 points, which is already at the peak of ordinary people, which makes his endurance greatly enhanced, and at the same time his strength has now reached 8.78, so that he can barely do handstand push-ups.

But after trying a few things, he stopped, because he could feel his breathing start to get scrambled.

If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and it's not a good thing to be too aggressive!

He tried to maintain his breathing rate, which was about 15~18 times a minute, which was lower than the normal standard of 16~22 breaths for adults.

He listened to his heartbeat, knock, knock, knock...... Between 55~65 times a minute, which is lower than the normal standard of 60~100 times for adults.

From time to time, I glance at the pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature on the smart meter, and always stabilize at a good value.

Thirty minutes after the handstand, he saw a car parked on the side of the road in the distance, and then saw Dong Chenghai get out of the car and walk in his direction.

Looking at people upside down, the picture is quite strange.

"Brother Jiang, good morning!"

"Hmmm! Wait a moment. ”

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Jiang Sheng stood upside down for another three minutes, more than he had ever been before, and he could feel that his strength was far from reaching its limit.

Anyway, he had decided to stop, so he started practicing handstand push-ups.

1，2，3，4，5……

After doing 10 standard handstand push-ups, his breathing and heartbeat became rapid, and the guided qi and blood also rushed towards his head, and he felt his brain begin to congest rapidly.

I insisted on doing 5 handstand push-ups, and finally, I couldn't hold back anymore.

He rolled over and stopped, lying on his back on the grass, breathing heavily.

In reality, people who can do handstand push-ups are very powerful, Dong Chenghai is very envious, he asked: "Brother Jiang, how much do you bench press?" ”

"I don't know...... Haven't tested! ”

"Go back to my house and take a look."

There is a professional gym in the basement of his house.

After Jiang Sheng rested a little, he sat up and asked, "Brother Jiang, what level have you practiced your pile skills?" ”

Jiang Sheng gasped and smiled, "I don't understand...... Is there still a grade of pile work? I haven't heard of it. ”

Dong Chenghai nodded and said: "There are indeed levels, but the outside world really doesn't know much, there are six layers in total." The first layer takes root; There are things in the second layer of dantian, and the third layer is ready to fly; The fourth layer of qi and blood is agitated; The fifth layer is not born; The sixth layer is infinite. ”

Dong Chenghai explained to Jiang Sheng the difference between each layer.

"Falling to the ground means that the body is relaxed and has a sinking and falling feeling, and the feet are like the roots of a big tree stretching out under the soil."

"The meaning of dantian is that there must be a sense of qi in the dantian, if you don't do it, then no matter how long you stand, it's a waste of time."

"Flying from the ground means that as the time of practicing qi becomes longer and longer, you can give birth to a feeling that you are as light as a swallow and seem to be about to rise into the air."

"The agitation of qi and blood means that the circulation of qi and blood around the body is smoother than before, and the qi of the five organs is correspondingly strengthened.

"Nian Nian is not born means that when you practice to this realm, you are no longer moved by external objects, you are not driven by desires, you can keep your heart undefeated, and you can achieve the tranquility and nothingness mentioned in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing". At this level, it is basically the level of a land immortal. ”

The last layer of "Turbulence and Infinity", if you can practice to this layer, you will be surrounded by Turbidity, without the sense of separation between limbs and torso, and the overall muscles will be one, and you will enter the state of returning to the source and returning to the roots! ”

After listening to Dong Chenghai's words, Jiang Sheng showed a look of surprise on his face, "I didn't expect there to be so many statements." Then among the people you know, what level of training has you reached? ”

Dong Chenghai said: "My uncle has practiced to the pinnacle of taking root, and my master, who is my uncle's master, has practiced to the third level and is ready to fly." ”

was afraid that Jiang Sheng would "underestimate" these two realms, so he explained: "Don't think it's easy, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult for one person out of 10,000 people to really take root, and it is even more difficult to fly." ”

"For example, taking root, there is a saying called 'Drifting and waving in the waves, up and down and not upside down', the joints of the whole body are alive, standing there, no matter how strong you are, you don't want to push him down."

"There is also the desire to fly, which is complementary to the dantian things, and only after practicing the internal qi can this realm be reached!"

"Don't be deceived by those so-called qigong masters on the Internet, there are very few people who can really practice qi in reality, my master is a real martial arts master, and he is only a little accomplished."

After a pause, Dong Chenghai said regretfully: "It's a pity, my master has been immortal for many years. ”

"Uh...... That's right. ”

Hearing Dong Chenghai's words, Jiang Sheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Dong Chenghai remembered his uncle for a while, and then remembered and asked Jiang Sheng: "Brother Jiang, I guess you are now in the before, middle and back stages of taking root?" ”

Jiang Sheng touched the beads of sweat on his head, and said with some strange "embarrassment": "Me...... Probably, probably, it should have reached what you said about the dantian thing. ”

Although he still doesn't know, how did he practice qi? The only thing to blame is the Properties panel.

Dong Chenghai: "........."

……

Dong Chenghai took a good time to digest Jiang Sheng's words.

But his first reaction was that Jiang Sheng was bragging.

"Internal qi", a legendary thing, is not extremely talented, and people with great wisdom and perseverance cannot be practiced.

Jiang Sheng is an ordinary office worker, how could he practice qi casually?

"Brother Jiang, you're kidding, right?"

"No, I'm serious."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How long have you been practicing pile exercises? ”

Dong Chenghai's head shook like a rattle, with Jiang Sheng's expression of "Arabian Nights".

Jiang Sheng looked at Dong Chenghai's expression, he really didn't want to stimulate him anymore, and wanted to say that he had been practicing pile gong since he was a child.

But this kind of thing can't be hidden from people with a heart, I really want to know if he is lying, just investigate a little, not to mention that Dong Chenghai's family taught him that he didn't charge a penny for his pure yang great work, and he also included food and shelter, and he couldn't deceive people anymore, "Uh...... Less than a month. ”

To Jiang Sheng's surprise, when Dong Chenghai heard his words, he unexpectedly showed an expression of "I understand", "I know, you are faking!" ”

"Huh? What is a fake sense of gas? Jiang Sheng was puzzled.

Dong Chenghai explained with a confident face: "Some people regard the feeling of exertion of the respiratory muscles in the body as a sense of qi, some people regard the heat of the body as a sense of qi, and some people regard the friction between qi and the epidermis as a sense of qi, etc., these are all fake qi senses, or an imaginary idea, and they feel that they have practiced qi sense, but in fact it is just a mental illusion after a long time of practice." ”

Jiang Sheng was sure that he wasn't fake qi, but he still asked, "Then what is a real qi?" Are there any characteristics? ”

Dong Chenghai said: "The real sense of qi has a very strong health care effect, at the beginning you will feel that the spleen and stomach function is strong, especially able to eat, one meal can be worth two or three meals of others." ”

"Then the digestive function will be particularly strong, it will be diarrhea, but it will not have stomach pain, which is to discharge toxins from the body, and there will be a relaxed and refreshing feeling after pulling."

When Jiang Sheng heard this, he secretly thought to himself: "I am indeed getting more and more able to eat now, but I don't have diarrhea, just a little more stool, maybe everyone's symptoms are different?" ”
