Chapter 11: Morning and Evening Lessons
Since there was already some jīng strength and dizziness, this was a precursor to the loss of essence, of course, I had to stop my cultivation quickly and get up. Otherwise, once the loss of essence is serious, the skill will regress at the least, and the foundation will be destroyed, and if you want to go further in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky without special circumstances.
So Song Qingshu got out of bed and played Wudang in the room.
The Wudang Mianzhang Kung Fu of the Wudang School is not only used to familiarize yourself with the body at the beginning of cultivation, but also to help people find the sense of qi as soon as possible is to practice the true qi and have an auxiliary method before the sense of qi, which has a unique effect in restoring and strengthening the body.
The first layer of exercises in this "Wudang Internal Strength" is not that you don't need to practice it after you have practiced it, it is to accompany the whole exercise. In terms of importance, it is not inferior to the following Tiyun Zong, which exercises are grasped by the desperate tiger.
The so-called is 'the way of heaven, more than what is lost and make up for the shortcomings, and the way of man, more than what is lacking'. Although the yuan jīng in the human body can be constantly replenished and restored, and can continue to become the source of refining true qi, as the body grows older, the body functions also continue to decline, and the body gradually declines, and the yuan jīng in the body also decreases.
The yuan jīng in the human body is not fixed, it is the weakest in childhood, and then it grows with age, reaching the strongest in adulthood and prime of life, and after the age of forty, it is declining and gradually weakening. The yuan jīng in each person's body is not equal, and people with a good constitution are stronger, and those with a poor constitution are weaker. And if you have some serious illness or serious injury, it will also cause a great loss of vitality.
However, this is the case of ordinary people, the body of a person who practices martial arts is strong, and the yuan jīng in the body is stronger than that of ordinary people, and those with advanced skills may not gradually weaken in the body until they are fifty or even sixty years old.
But no matter what, they can only slow down this process, but cannot stop it, and in the end, they will inevitably fail in the body, and they will inevitably die. No matter how advanced the skill is, as long as he can't stop this process, he can't escape the burial of a cup of loess.
The so-called 'martial arts without garbage, only those who can't', plus Wudang Mianzhang can be said to be the foundation of all martial arts of the Wudang faction.
Taoism uses water to "explain the Tao and discuss virtue", believing that the water is indisputable, and it is round with the square, soft and quiet, however, water can also store energy and store potential, penetrate the stone and split the mountain, pervasive and indestructible.
At the beginning of the establishment of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng watched the white clouds on Wudang Mountain and realized the truth of 'goodness is like water, water conservancy is indisputable', thus creating the Wudang cotton palm, which can be described as subtle and exquisite, cotton, soft; Taoism believes that the softest is rigid, Wudang cotton palm is rigid and soft, yin and yang follow, not stiff and not sluggish, it seems to be weak and boneless, but in fact, there is iron hidden in the cotton. The so-called rigidity is easy to break, and softness is long-lasting, reflecting the true meaning of Taoism to overcome rigidity with softness.
Therefore, Wudang Mianzhang is like Luohan Boxing for Shaolin Temple, which is the foundation of all kinds of martial arts.
Wudang Mianzhang Gong is a kind of superior internal kung fu that separates the soft and fights the hard, the shot is invisible, and the power penetrates the viscera. If you want to practice Wudang Mianzhang, you must first practice the Hunyuan pile.
The two feet are wider than the shoulders, stand naturally, the left foot is abducted 45 degrees, the five fingers of the left palm are naturally extended, the arms are straight, flat and shoulder high, into a side palm, the right hand is in the crotch protection style, and the eyes are looking ahead. And the head is collared upward, the feet are pulled, the left hand is pulled, the right hand is pulled, the front body is tucked in the abdomen, the back is full, the whole body is up and down, front and back, left and right, inside and outside, and the strength and tips support each other, forming a whole, soft and rigid, Hun Yuan Yiqi (the whole human body is regarded as a big dantian).
Relax the whole body, breathe naturally, count the breaths, a total of 9981 times, change the right arm to stretch forward, and practice the same method.
Song Qingshu slapped Wudang Mianzhang a few times as required, and then felt that the situation had improved greatly, and the jīng qi in his body was pervasive, and he no longer felt weak. Unconsciously, he forgot the time, Song Qingshu still had to practice again, and suddenly heard the bell ringing.
Song Qingshu opened his eyes and saw that the sky outside the window was faint. It turned out that he was immersed in cultivation last night, and before he knew it, the night had passed, and it was time to do morning classes again. The bell rang and then again. The melodious and heavy bell rang throughout the entire Zixiao Palace.
Zixiao Palace has bells ringing every morning and evening, the number of Tiangang in the morning is thirty-six, and the number of the earth is seventy-two in the evening, which is one hundred and eight rings, which should be the number of small Zhou Tian. When the bell rings, it's time for morning and evening classes.
The so-called morning and evening classes, also known as the morning and evening altars, are the daily homework of Taoist priests who practice the Dharma and music by themselves. Because Taoism is a native religion of China, Taoist music has traditional characteristics and strong national style, it is divided into two parts: vocal music and instrumental music, the melody is quaint, the content is rich, there is the joy of praying for auspiciousness, and the quiet melody of refining and cultivating. Listening to fairy music and understanding the fairy road, you can experience the fairyland fun of "this song should only be in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times". Wudang Mountain Dao Music is a combination of court music and folk music. The genre form can be divided into two categories: "rhyme" and "brand". According to the different occasions, objects and purposes of performance, the "rhyme" can be divided into two categories: "yang tune" and "yin tone", and "brand" can be divided into three categories: "positive song", "juggling song" and "magic instrument brand". Common instrumental music cards include [Mountain Slope Sheep], [Wutong Moon], [Welcoming Cyclamen], etc., and chanting music cards include [General Offering], [Dou Lao Praise], [Queen Mother Praise] and so on. According to the content of its activities, it can be roughly divided into three categories: monastic rituals, Jiao rituals, and commemorative rituals.
Although he hadn't slept all night, Song Qingshu felt that his god was very good and he didn't have the slightest sleep. got up immediately, washed his face, dressed in the mirror, and went out to prepare for morning class.
At this time, in Zixiao Palace, several of the Wudang Seven Heroes came, but Zhang Sanfeng did not arrive, first, he basically didn't need it, and second, Zhang Wuji also needed someone to take care of him.
Song Qingshu stepped forward, and after everyone saluted, he sat on his futon and waited for a while before dozens of disciples of the same generation arrived. I don't know if it was Zhang Sanfeng who said last time that Song Yuanqiao played a role, or what, Song Qingshu found that Song Yuanqiao's gaze at him was much softer than before.
After the morning class, Song Yuanqiao also left Song Qingshu behind, and asked what he didn't understand, with such an opportunity, of course Song Qingshu would not let it go, and hurriedly asked what he didn't understand before.
