Chapter 3 Introductory Exercises
When Lu Yanning finished practicing, he was already sweating again.
Guo Daochang threw a dry towel over and said, "Wipe it." ”
took the towel and wiped the sweat, and before Lu Yanning could say anything, he heard the master ask, "Do you kid not wipe your sweat every time you finish practicing, but just blow the wind cool?"
"Master, how do you know?" asked Lu Yanning with a look of surprise.
"Hehe, just look at your appearance, full of evil! Now you are young, you can still bear it, if you keep going like this, you will know the pain after the age of forty. Guo Daochang said lightly: "Your master and I, no matter how you say it, you also know some medical skills." ”
"Oh, no, I don't feel like anything. Lu Yanning replied disapprecrisingly, paused, and immediately patted a sycophant: "Master, you are so powerful, you even know how to use medicine!"
Guo Daochang didn't argue with Xiao Qing about anything, but said lightly: "Today I will teach you a set of internal skills, you can practice first." ”
Lu Yanning suddenly became happy, and hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, thank you Master!"
The legendary internal strength! He can't help but be unhappy.
Next, Guo Daochang explained the exercises to Lu Yanning, but it was only a short time to finish, and when he saw that Lu Yanning was still looking at him, he smiled angrily and said, "Go over there and practice!"
Lu Yanning hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, will this exercise be too simple?" In his mind, is the internal strength, although it is not like the Jiuyang Divine Skill on TV or something, at least it has to come up with a set of mental running routes or something, follow the meridians left and right or something, otherwise, how can you see the superiority of the internal strength?
"Love to practice, don't practice and go out!" Guo Daochang dropped a sentence, turned around and went out, "Remember to bring the courtyard gate when you leave." ”
What explanation is not! Still a little angry?
Looking at the back of the master leaving the courtyard, Lu Yanning knew that the master was going to the mountain again. When I was chatting with Master yesterday, I heard Master mention that Master and the host of the temple on the mountain are friends, as for what kind of friend Lu Yanning didn't know, Master didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask. However, it was precisely because the master came to visit his friends that he lived here and had the opportunity to apprentice to him.
Shaking his head, Lu Yanning walked to a futon placed in the courtyard and sat down cross-legged as the master said. I closed my eyes and carefully recalled the "internal strength" practice method taught by the master.
In fact, there is nothing to think about, a very simple thing, thousands of times simpler than imagined. He is still a little skeptical, this is internal strength? This is also called internal strength?
Sit with your legs crossed, put your hands on your knees, sit upright, keep your whole body relaxed, don't bow your head and shrug your shoulders, and so on, these are very simple requirements. Then the mental method is: gently close your eyes, imagine that there is a flame in the dantian in your stomach, and the flame is constantly burning, and keep it in this state until you finish your work.
The only thing that surprised him was the location of the dantian. According to what he had read from the book before, the dantian should be three inches below the umbilicus, and the Guan Yuan acupoint mentioned in the acupuncture book. But the master is talking about the back of the navel, the midpoint of the connection between the navel and the gate of life, in the stomach!
This whole exercise is too simple, isn't it? If it were put in the present, it is estimated that many people would have to scold a "liar!" or "flicker!"
However, Lu Yanning didn't have much contact with at that time, and he was relatively sincere, so he didn't think much about it, but honestly practiced there as required.
After all, the master has worshipped, and whatever the master says, then do it. Master will say this, naturally there is a reason in it, no matter what, practice first, do what you should do, and then you will naturally know what the result is.
Speaking of which, Lu Yanning really hasn't been exposed to the cultivation method of meditation. sat for a while as required, except for the curiosity and excitement at the beginning, Lu Yanning slowly felt a little bored.
Sitting and sitting, my brain doesn't know where to go, thinking about my work, where to go in the future, and then I think about my former classmates, thinking about beautiful classmates who don't know if they're in love.
In school, Lu Yanning was ignorant and liked a girl, but that girl didn't have any feelings for him, and it was over before it started.
Tiannan Haibei, I don't know where I want to go, but after a while, Lu Yanning reacted, what are you doing?
What kind of exercises, how do you practice?
As soon as Lu Yanning came back to his senses, he shook his head in annoyance, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the courtyard was quiet. I felt a little bored to sit, so I stood up and walked a few steps in the yard, thought about it, and still pulled open the shelf and practiced the Yijin Sutra.
After all, I am still a young person, I like to move or not, and I feel more comfortable moving.
After a set of Yi Jin Sutra, Lu Yanning was already sweating, and he was about to go out to the courtyard to breathe and blow the wind, but he remembered what the master said before. After thinking about it, he turned around and picked up a dry towel and wiped the sweat off his body.
After looking at the direction of the mountain from the courtyard for a while, naturally there was nothing else to see except the trees on the mountain, and after thinking about it, Lu Yanning still turned around and sat on the futon honestly, closed his eyes lightly and practiced his internal skills.
From head to toe, section by section, every part is visualized to relax, from the top of the head, to the face, to the back of the head, to the chin, to the neck, to the shoulders, to the chest, to the back, to the abdomen, to the waist, to the 。。。。。。 This was done all the way to the toes, and then from the shoulders to the arms to the elbows to the wrists to the tips of the fingers, repeated three times, and Lu Yanning felt as if he felt a little, so he retracted his mind and thought that there was a bright, violently burning flame in the dantian.
As I practiced, I felt quite comfortable, but as my breathing slowed down, it became more and more comfortable, but my head began to eat one by one.
Okay, what kind of exercise is this? It's clearly sleeping!
When he was about to really fall asleep, his body shook and he almost fell to the ground, but Lu Yanning woke up, beat his head gently, and said strangely: "Why did I fall asleep?"
It turns out that this set of exercises, which seems very simple, is not so easy to practice.
Standing up and moving his body a little numb, especially his legs, which were already a little numb, Lu Yanning sat down again after the activity was opened, and launched a ruthless attack: "I must practice well this time!"
It's a pity that the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny!
Tossed and turned several times, each time it was either cranky or dozing off. As for the fire in the dantian? hell the fire, there is no black wool, not to mention what the master said will heat up, it will be warm.
Originally, the master said that fast people would feel the dantian fever after practicing once or twice, but Lu Yanning thought it was quite easy and simple. After all, who doesn't think that they are the fastest, the more qualified.
Think about reading Jin Dada's novels before, Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Wuji, Qiao Feng, Guo Jing, Ling Huchong... and so on, Lu Yanning is still very yearning, yearning for the day when he can become a master like the hero in the novel.
In the past, Lu Yanning always felt that he had the Yijin Sutra, and he couldn't practice the skills of the heroes in the novel, because he lacked internal skills. And now, I have the opportunity to learn internal skills, but I can't practice it, and I feel really a little discouraged.
He didn't think that Master would lie to himself or something, after all, Master was able to optimize it just by watching the Yijin Sutra that he had practiced, although he couldn't see what it would become in the future, but at least he felt that it was obviously different from before as soon as he practiced. Based on this, Lu Yanning didn't believe that the master would say something casually to fool him.
He didn't know that this state of falling asleep after practicing has a professional term called "drowsy". The reason for this state is actually very simple, he has not successfully ignited the fire at this time, and the yang energy in his body cannot rise.
Originally, it stands to reason that at his age, his yang energy is flourishing, but he sweats and blows and drinks cold drinks on weekdays, which suppresses the yang energy. When you sit down, your body is full of yin energy, so it's no wonder if you're not drowsy.
After tossing for so long, Lu Yanning felt a little hungry, took out his mobile phone and looked, ah, it's almost twelve o'clock at eleven o'clock.
Thinking about it, when I first arrived here, it was only around half past eight, why did time pass so quickly?
When I was immersed in something, time was really fast, and before I knew it, it was more than three hours.
looked outside the courtyard, the master hadn't come back yet, "I don't know if the master will come back at noon", Lu Yanning muttered.
"Forget it, wait a minute, in case Master doesn't see me when he comes back, thinking I'm gone. Lu Yanning thought about it and felt that it was better to wait, anyway, although he was a little hungry, he was not very hungry, and he didn't eat much in the morning. So he walked over to the table, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
It's just that when you don't do anything, time always flies slowly.
Lu Yanning drank a whole pot of tea, but only about ten minutes had passed.
I thought that drinking some tea and decorating my stomach with something would prevent hunger, but I didn't want to get hungrier the more I drank.
After thinking about it, Lu Yanning took out a pen and paper from the small bag he was carrying, and wrote on the paper: Master, I'm hungry, I'll go out for a meal first and then come back, but I'm not leaving.
Looking at the words on the paper, Lu Yanning nodded with satisfaction, put the paper on the table, thought about it, and took a cup and pressed it on it.
Actually, Lu Yanning's words are really, how to say it, similar to the little pot friend in the third grade of primary school, but he feels good about himself.
After doing these things, Lu Yanning turned around and walked out of the courtyard, closed the gate of the courtyard, and went to find something to eat.
There are still many restaurants nearby, after all, they are attractions, and Lu Yanning often comes here because of work, so he is not afraid of finding a place to eat.
