Chapter 41: Cultivation

The next day, early in the morning, dawn broke, five o'clock, the sky had just begun to clear, Zhou Shaojin finished washing, said to his brother Zhou Wenxuan, put on a sportswear and walked out of the house, it was still early, and the village was quiet.

An hour later, Zhou Shaojin climbed to the top of Luoyang Mountain behind his house, which is the highest peak around the entire Songzhu Village, located in the west of the village, and falls from here whenever the sun sets, which is also the origin of the name of Luoyang Mountain.

Zhou Shaojin stood on the top of the mountain, raised his eyes and looked around, an open area, Xiku Village, Kexi Village and other villages that were originally blocked by the mountain peaks can also be seen, looking down, at the foot of the mountain is the entire Songzhu Village, the sky above the village is a layer of white morning mist, standing on the top of the mountain looks like the whole village is shrouded in the morning mist, green mountains and clear water, like a peach source.

On the east mountain, the glow is gorgeous, the sun has not come out, the morning glow has been rendered, standing on the top of the mountain, facing the morning breeze, taking a deep breath, only feeling refreshed.

"It's time. Taking a deep breath and adjusting his breath, Zhou Shaojin made a starting gesture and began to prepare for cultivation.

The foundation building stage, refining and refining qi, the most important thing in this stage is to temper one's own physique, lay the foundation for future cultivation, only if the physique is strong enough, can be qualified to enter a higher cultivation realm, not to mention others, just say that the realm of refining qi, this realm needs to open up a sea of qi in the body, if there is not enough strong physique as a foundation, it will not be able to open up a sea of qi at all, even if the sea of qi is opened, if the body is not enough to withstand the violent true qi tank, it will directly explode and die.

And the way of cultivation, on the whole, can also be said to be a process of continuous transformation and strengthening of the body, with the improvement of cultivation, one's own physique will also slowly transform, becoming more and more powerful, but for monks, in addition to the physique, one's soul is also slowly transforming with cultivation, with the physique with its strength.

If the world is compared to the sea of red dust and suffering, then what the monk pursues is detachment, in this process of detachment, the body is like a boat, the soul is like a lighthouse, and only when the body and soul are constantly transforming and becoming stronger, can they transcend the sea of suffering and reach the other side.

With a soft sound of "bang", Zhou Shaojin knelt directly on his knees, and then the whole person's body bent back, the back of his head was on the ground, and his buttocks were pressed on his legs.

In the past, although such an action could be made, it would definitely not be so easy, and his thighs would be tense and painful, but now, for him, this action is effortless.

There are two main parts of the cultivation method in the foundation building chapter, one part is the body refining method, the other part is the luck method, the body refining method is divided into two parts, the first part is eighty-one movements, very similar to practicing yoga, but the above movements are more difficult than yoga I don't know how much, the main role of these eighty-one actions is also to exercise the flexibility of the body and the muscles and veins, the second part of the body refining method is a set of body skills, not only including boxing, palming, fingering, The leg method, even any part of the body can be used as an attack point, and there are eighty-one styles in total.

The eighty-one movements in the front can be regarded as playing an auxiliary role in the cultivation of the physical arts in the back, so before you have nothing to cultivate, do these eighty-one movements first.

Get down on your knees and turn your body back with your head on the ground, which is the first movement, and then support your hands on the ground from behind your head, and slowly stand up with your front feet and support your body from the ground with your limbs.

"Smack. Syllable.. Smack..."

Like popping beans, at this moment, as the limbs slowly supported the body, the bones of the hands, feet and waist crackled, and Zhou Shaojin's face also appeared red, the first action was fine, but the second action was not so easy, the demand for limbs and waist strength was great, and it also tested the flexibility of the body!

Then, Zhou Shaojin's left hand and right foot left the ground, and only his right hand and left foot supported the ground, and the whole person was bent and arched!

Eighty-one movements, each more difficult than the other.

In the fifth movement, Zhou Shaojin already felt strained and sweated on his forehead; in the tenth movement, Zhou Shaojin's breathing became heavy; in the twentieth movement, Zhou Shaojin's face was already red...... In the fortieth action, Zhou Shaojin was already soaked, and his hair was already wet, at this time, the sun rose in the east mountain, and the morning sun sprinkled just on the top of Luoyang Mountain, which also plated Zhou Shaojin with a layer of glow!

"!"

The fifty-seventh action, Zhou Shaojin's teeth were clucking, his face was flushed, although he had long guessed that the eighty-one movements would definitely not be so easy to complete, but at this moment he knew how difficult it was, and it was only the fifty-seventh action that made him feel like he was about to collapse, and he felt that the grain beans in his whole body were about to break, in fact, since the thirtieth action, he already felt a little unbearable, and he has gritted his teeth and persevered until now.

At this moment, Zhou Shaojin even had an urge to stop and rest directly, but the terrible thing is that according to the information in the foundation building chapter, these eighty-one actions must be completed one action after another, and the time can be extended, but in this process, none of the actions can be destroyed, otherwise they can only start over.

In other words, now that Zhou Shaojin has done the fifty-seventh movement, he can rest, but he must maintain this action posture, otherwise he will lose his previous efforts and start over.

Zhou Shaojin gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and his body trembled slightly, these movements, every action was extremely difficult, even if it was difficult to maintain this kind of action, let alone keep this kind of action to rest.

"Fifty-eight... Fifty-nine... Sixty...."

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Shaojin continued to do the following movements with difficulty, the process was unimaginably painful, and he felt that the bones of his whole body seemed to be broken, and the process was not much easier than when he swallowed the Traceability Pill, so that now, Zhou Shaojin is completely gritting his teeth and insisting on his perseverance, fortunately, his perseverance has always been very strong, and after the last time the Traceability Pill was washed and cut off, he felt that his perseverance nerve was stronger.

"Sixty-three... Sixty-four.... Sixty-five... Seventy...."

Zhou Shaojin's body continued to change shape with one movement after another, and the bones of his whole body continued to crackle with his movements, and by the seventy-seventh movement, his face was a little bruised, which was terrifying to watch.

"Seventy-eight!"

Zhou Shaojin gritted his teeth, blood oozed from his gums, and the pain of this layer was unimaginable, but he gritted his teeth and insisted.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, Zhou Shaojin never thinks of himself as a gentleman, but he knows one thing very well, if you want to be able to do what others can't, you must first endure what others can't bear!

"Eighty-one... Smack!Smack!Smack!"

With the completion of the last action, at this moment, Zhou Shaojin only felt that the bones in his whole body seemed to be displaced, crackling and crackling.

According to the cultivation method in the "Foundation Building Chapter", after the eighty-one movements are completed, it is to cultivate the next eighty-one body techniques, but at this moment, Zhou Shaojin knew that he would definitely not be able to practice the eighty-one body techniques today, because he knew that his current physical condition had reached the limit, and it took a lot of time to complete the eighty-one movements, nearly two hours, and after a while, he should also go back.

Facing the rising sun, Zhou Shaojin sat cross-legged, with no foreign objects in his heart, sitting on his luck, controlling the trace of qi in his body to run in his body, I don't know if it was the reason why the exercise was too intense just now or the ancient sun's rays, at this moment, Zhou Shaojin only felt that his body was warm, as if countless warm currents were flowing in his body!

After sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, Zhou Shaojin got up and walked down the mountain.

When I got home, my mother was stir-frying, but I didn't ask him anything about going to the mountain to exercise in the morning, because Zhou Shaojin also had the habit of morning exercise when he was at home before, and he used to go for a morning run on the road at the entrance of the village, but now it was just changed to climbing, so he didn't think much about it, and Zhou Shaojin has been very calm and assertive since he was a child, so whether it is his father, mother or grandfather, he is more at ease.

Zhou Shaojin didn't say much, he didn't plan to tell his family about his current cultivation and becoming impermanent, at least he wouldn't tell his family until he didn't have enough strength to deal with all possible changes.
