In the morning, the doctor rechecked and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he went through the discharge procedures. Ma Guocai went to Xinhua Bookstore, bought a book of Yang-style Taijiquan and a book of acupuncture points, and then returned to his hometown in the countryside.

His father looked at the books he had bought and asked him what he was buying them for.

Ma Guocai didn't tell him that he wanted to practice qigong, but just said that he had nothing to practice and exercise. My father didn't ask anything more. If he told the truth, maybe what he would think psychologically! After all, in this day and age, qigong has been mystified, or simply faked. Don't think that modern rural people are uneducated, even in the countryside, you may perform some hard qigong and others will still watch you as magic!

The view of the countryside is wide and the air is clear. Ma Guocai's home is in a mountain col, there is a pond in front of the door, and there are a few acres of rice fields below, but now the inside is deserted this season, and there are only a few lonely haystacks on the ridges. Behind the house and on both sides of the house were a few miscellaneous trees, I don't know what their names were, and, of course, scattered bamboos.

Recently, Ma Guo has changed some of his previous living habits, no longer sleeps lazily, gets up at six o'clock in the morning every day, and then goes to an open place on the top of the mountain behind his home to practice Taijiquan's Wuji pile.

Wuji pile, also known as natural pile, is one of the important pile methods of Taijiquan's internal strength, and is considered to be the foundation of Taijiquan by boxers throughout the ages. When practicing this pile, the body is in a state of high relaxation, the mind and form are one, the yin and yang are in harmony, and the form is formless, which is a balanced and harmonious inner health exercise.

To practice this pile, the body must connect the Baihui acupoint with the perineal acupoint and the two Yongquan acupoints of the two feet, and form a line at three points. Then practice according to the pile method of the poleless pile, which is the main practice, and also the practice of alternating mixed piles.

When I started to stand on the pile, I didn't hold on for long, and within a few minutes, my legs trembled like a sieve, and after about ten minutes, I began to feel my legs tense, and my body beat slightly with the trembling of my legs.

Take a break and continue to practice, the practice of the mixed yuan pile will rise and fall with the breathing, which is a little more difficult than the Wuji pile, and after a few minutes of persistence, the thighs will become more and more tense, more and more forceful, and the breathing is not easy to adjust, it will become more and more short, even in winter, you will feel hot all over the body. I remember the first time I practiced, when my thighs became more and more tense, and I felt that my hips and waist began to tighten, I suddenly clicked at the coccyx of the spine, as if I was straightening my bones.

Although there is no guidance from the master, I still feel a little relaxed in my spine, knowing that this is the effect of pile work. The vertebrae are compared to the big dragon of the human body in pile work, which is an important part of the body that connects and regulates the body's strength, exercises qi, and balances the body. You may have been sitting for a long time, which has caused some damage to the spine, and when you practice pile gong, your body adjusts your balance and begins to exercise to the spine, and it will naturally start to correct, and it will suddenly click.

After practicing the pile gong for the first time, although both legs are very tired, you will feel very relaxed and powerful later. Since then, I will insist on practicing for more than half an hour each time, and then do Tai Chi again.

Because when you buy a book, there are videos in it, so it is naturally not difficult to learn. But when I came back from learning all the 56-style Taijiquan routines, it took me more than a week. Of course, he is just a façade, completely empty.

As for listening to and exerting strength, the book only briefly mentions it. It may be that these things are not guided by famous teachers, and don't want to practice, and you can't practice it alone, just practice the routines to nourish your body.

In fact, Ma Guocai does not seek to be as powerful as those people in kung fu movies, but he just thinks that the theory of Taijiquan is very good, in line with Chinese Taoist thought, and the inner family boxing method may be helpful for practicing qigong, and it can strengthen the body better.

Life in the countryside is actually quite monotonous, especially this season, especially me. There is nothing to help at home, and some of my peers in the village who are about the same age as me are working outside, and every day is actually eating, drinking, sleeping and playing, and the weather is good and you can also fish.

Naturally, he was given a lot of free time, and every day in addition to practicing Tai Chi in the morning, after eating, he looked at the meridian map he bought, understood the acupuncture points and meridians, and knew the approximate effect of some acupoints. When I was tired, I practiced Tai Chi again, or I watched a TV series. At night, it is natural to practice sleeping.

Maybe it's because of practicing martial arts and mind, practicing qi and nourishing the spirit, or because in the countryside, in this comfortable and quiet environment, Ma Guo feels that his spirit is much better than before, and his brain feels clearer than before.

When I got up in the morning, I found a secluded place and started to stand on the pile, I don't know what's going on, but recently the pile is always screaming in my stomach, as if there is gas in my stomach, and sometimes I fart while standing. It's good that there is no one, otherwise it wouldn't be embarrassing to die.

There is no one to ask for advice, but recently the amount of food has begun to increase greatly, and I used to have a full meal a night, but now I have to eat at least three bowls. From this point of view, this should be a normal reaction.

During this period of time, the internal organs of the whole body seem to be inflated, although there is no sense of qi in the dantian, but when standing on the pile and practicing sleeping, I will always feel that the heart, liver, spleen and lungs and other five organs and six mansions, there is qi flowing.

Although I don't know why, there is no other abnormality in my body, but my spirit is getting better and better.

Finally, one night at the end of December, when Ma Guocai was practicing sleeping exercises, his mind took care of the dantian, and he vaguely felt that with his breathing, there seemed to be a warm current flowing in Ren's veins, straight into the lower abdomen of the dantian, warm and warm. If there is something and you don't pay attention to it, it's hard to feel it.

Ma Guocai was happy in his heart, but when he was in turmoil, he couldn't feel it. However, he was still very happy, because this should be the so-called qi sense! The induction that runs in the body after the qi is strengthened, although it is still very weak, but it is a great improvement. Feeling the qi, qigong can be said to be a preliminary entry. The mood of this day is very good, a week or two of exercise, finally has some results, in vain he quit smoking!

For a period of time after he got angry, Ma Guocai often wandered away, he was absent-minded about everything, and when he had nothing to do, he wanted to feel that breath. But it's usually difficult to reach that state of cultivation, and you can't feel it at all.

Therefore, in daily life, Ma Guo began to adjust his breathing intentionally or unintentionally, so that his breathing became slow and long, and his mind became quiet and relaxed as much as possible.

But often as soon as my mind wanders and my attention shifts slightly, I forget to adjust my breathing and become a normal breathing state. But he still insisted on doing it as much as he could.

Ma Guocai felt that he had never been so serious and dedicated to his life in his life. From elementary school to university, reading and studying seemed to be forced by my parents. Since entering the state of cultivation in the hospital, qigong seems to have become his goal, his dream, it seems to be a key that can change people's lives, and let him indulge in it.

In January 2006, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the relatives who were working outside rushed home one after another to prepare for the New Year. The family began to become lively, the mother returned, the uncles and aunts also came home, and the two younger sisters also came home from vacation.

The family members are most concerned about his future work, some suggest him to take the civil service exam, some suggest that he continue to study, and some ask him to go to Shenzhen with them to find a job. Ma Guocai could only smile bitterly in his heart, he was completely uninterested in these things now. For the first twenty-three years, he felt that he was completely mixed up, and the future was dark. I can only talk about going out to find a job next year.

In fact, he mentally understands that he doesn't know where his future lies! Basically, he didn't learn anything in college, so he has a little more sense of law. If you want me to talk about the law now, he can't say why, and maybe it's a little better than someone who hasn't studied law.

One of the two little sisters has just entered secondary school, and the other is still in primary school. Their relationship is quite close, after all, Equestrian watched the two of them be born and grow up, and when they were young, they often played with them.

The older sister's name is Ma Wenjing, and she often asks him about his college life at school, and asks if he has found a girlfriend or something. Once she was annoyed by the question, Ma Guocai took advantage of her inattention and drew a beard for her with a brush at the corner of her mouth, and she chased him around the house several times. Tired, he was out of breath and mostly laughing.

And the younger Ma Wenyue, who is only ** years old, often asks for candy next to him, saying that if he doesn't buy it, if I take my girlfriend home in the future, I will say to his girlfriend: "Hey, brother, why did you change another one, it didn't seem to be this sister last time." ”

At that time, he was sweating, where did this little girl learn this, who taught this! Heaven and earth conscience, if he really brought a girlfriend home, if he was to be said by his little sister, he would not lose his skin!

Gorgeous retreated in front of the little girl, and took some snacks directly from home and distributed them to her.
