Half an hour later, at Chen hour, the sun was rising.
Su Qinian opened his eyes. Although he was still a little tired, he still insisted on dragging his body that had not yet recovered a little and walked out of the thatched house.
Although it is a gathering place for the descendants of death row prisoners, the Xiaoyao Valley has beautiful mountains and clear waters, as picturesque as a poem, and there is even a refreshing fragrance in the air.
At this time, people came out of the thatched huts one after another. They were all men. The female prisoners had other arrangements and were not in the Xiaoyao Valley.
Su Qinian saw that few people spoke or even laughed. Many people seemed to be worried. As a death row prisoner with a suspended sentence, the pressure was too great. The guillotine of delay was hanging high. No one liked to walk on the edge of life and death.
On the shore, the middle-aged Taoist priest Jing Du turned his back to the crowd and looked ahead at a blue lake, glowing with red scales under the rising sun.
There are about a hundred people. In Su Qinian's eyes, the oldest of the death row prisoners in Xiaoyao Valley is no more than thirty years old, and the youngest is even younger than him, only twelve or thirteen years old, and his muscles and bones have not yet grown. Able to practice martial arts.
Nine waves of people at night also gathered on the shore at this time, but when they saw Su Qinian arriving, they all pretended to be strangers and even looked confused.
"The first level of "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu", the boxing frame on this level is called Turtle and Snake Ten Thousand Years! Hibernating and sleeping like a turtle and snake, let's see how I stand!"
Without waiting for everyone to arrive, the middle-aged Taoist priest turned around quietly. His steps were steady and piercing. At this time, he put on a boxing stance, his knees were slightly bent, and his limbs looked loose. At first glance, he looked like a A giant turtle standing upright.
breathe!
Everything stopped, leaving only the quiet breathing of the middle-aged Taoist priest. His breath was very long, and everyone could even hear the sound of air flowing in and out of his nose. The sound seemed very clumsy, as if there was really a The old turtle was hibernating, and its breathing sound seemed to be stained by millions of years of dust.
"What a strong Qi! It is indeed Wudang's world-famous "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu". When it comes to foundation building skills in the world, this "Turtle Snake Kung Fu" is enough to be ranked among the top ten. If you say that the ordinary seven-layer foundation building skills are perfect, practicing martial arts A person can possess the power of a fierce horse. After practicing this "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu" to the seventh level, it is no longer an ordinary fierce horse, but a hard-earned horse with blood and endurance. It is so strong that it can be the best in the world. .”
Su Qinian lamented that he was born in Chang'an, the capital city, at the foot of the emperor. Although Su Mansion was only an eighth-grade mansion, he still had a lot of vision and insight. The aura revealed by the middle-aged Taoist priest quietly practicing "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu" was better than that in Chang'an. How many times stronger is the ordinary martial artist in the city martial arts hall who teaches "Bounce Horse Strength".
"The second level of "Turtle Snake Kung Fu", the boxing frame on this level is called Turtle Snake Turn Over..."
"the third floor……"
A stick of incense passed by.
The middle-aged Taoist priest has already practiced all the seven levels of the "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu". The turtle and snake pile is the foundation. No matter which level of the boxing frame, the turtle and snake pile at the bottom is the top priority.
At the beginning, Su Qinian could still understand seventy-seven and eighty-eight, but when he reached the third level, he became a little confused. The fourth level became foggy. Above the fourth level, there were thousands of mountains and rivers that were out of reach.
"This is the accumulation and transformation of my previous training of "Benma Jin" to the second level. No matter how shallow or advanced the foundation-building skills in the world are, the principles are all different and lead to the same goal. It is nothing more than skin, tendons, bones, and marrow, layer by layer. , the final qualitative change is the process of accumulation of Qi and blood in the human body, or, in other words, a gradual evolution of life."
Now, Su Qinian would no longer believe in the bizarre fabrications in martial arts novels in his previous life, that he could grasp his inner breath and generate a sense of energy by sitting cross-legged and meditating? Is it possible to develop internal energy by sitting in seclusion for ten days and a half? Don't be kidding, compared with the huge power generated by practicing the internal energy, it doesn't comply with the law of conservation of energy at all.
In the next half hour, everyone was practicing on the shore. Su Qinian also began to practice the first level of the "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu". He opened the turtle and snake stakes and recalled the quiet breathing of the middle-aged Taoist priest in his mind. Regularly, slowly, his whole body sank into a state of tranquility. The Qi and blood under the skin of his body slowly flowed through the induction, and his whole body became warm and cozy.
This is a wonderful experience. Following the first level of the "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu", Su Qinian quickly entered the second level. Compared with the first level, this second level took less than half of the time. It took an hour to barely complete the exercise, and compared with the first level, it can be clearly felt that the turtle pile is unstable, and it seems that something is missing and cannot be coherent.
When he reached the third level of "Turtle Snake Kung Fu", Su Qinian couldn't practice the boxing at this level. The skin of his muscles and bones seemed to be rusty. He almost strained his muscles and bones with the first movement. Su Qinian immediately stopped practicing.
"The strength seems to have increased a lot, and the wounds are itching. They are healing quickly!"
With a sharp look in his eyes, Su Qinian understood that he could barely master the first two levels of "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu", but the second level was not yet perfect. The accumulation of previous training in "Galloping Horse Strength" was considered a transformation. Depleted.
Just when Su Qinian was about to practice again, consolidate the first two levels of the "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu", and try to understand the boxing moves contained in these two levels of boxing, his whole body trembled, and his eyesight turned black, and there were even gold stars. , almost unsteady on his feet.
"No! This is an excessive consumption of energy and blood. The energy and blood consumed by practicing the first and second levels of "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu" is almost double that of "Galloping Horse Strength"!"
Su Qinian took several deep breaths to stabilize his body. Practicing the Foundation Building Technique places a heavy burden on the human body's Qi, blood and spirit. The skin, tendons, bones, and marrow are advanced layer by layer, which requires a large amount of Qi and blood to be tempered. , he was not only mentally exhausted due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, but also spent these days sleeping in the open air, eating a simple diet, and his body's energy and blood were weak. After practicing the "Turtle and Snake Kung Fu", a rare foundation-building skill in the world, he soon became unsustainable.
"Have breakfast!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest's quiet voice was cold, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, and it also made Su Qinian feel refreshed.
Not long after, there were some elderly Taoist priests in gray and black Taoist robes who opened the food baskets that had been prepared. Pieces of golden barbecue were steaming, plus a bowl of hot milky white soup. , served in earthenware bowls and distributed to everyone.
"This is demon tiger meat! There is also a thick soup made from demon tiger bones!"
Su Qinian was surprised. This was definitely a big deal, because practicing the Foundation Building Technique consumes a lot of energy, blood and spirit of the human body, so it needs to be eaten to maintain consumption.
However, eating too much ordinary meat and vegetables not only easily oppresses the gastrointestinal tract and affects spiritual practice, but also achieves half the result with twice the result. The energy and blood nutrients contained in it will also be quickly absorbed and depleted, and you need to eat again to maintain your needs. This will undoubtedly waste too much time. .
The flesh and blood of monsters and beasts are different. Because they are contaminated with monster energy, they have opened up their initial spiritual wisdom and understand the most primitive cultivation and life evolution. They can absorb the essence of the sun and moon, the essence of grass and trees, the blood of beasts, and the energy and blood contained in the flesh and blood from the deep mountains and swamps. The energy is at least several times that of ordinary beasts of the same size. Therefore, consuming the flesh and blood of demonic beasts can reduce the frequency of eating, thereby greatly increasing the speed of practicing the foundation building technique.
However, monsters are far more powerful than ordinary ferocious beasts. Hunting and killing them is not something that ordinary people can do. Even in the martial arts world, not everyone can escape unscathed if they do not develop their true energy and reach the third-rate realm.
"A piece of demon tiger meat as big as a fist and a bowl of demon tiger bone soup are worth at least one tael of snow silver in Chang'an City. An ordinary family of three people can only spend one tael of snow silver a month. Back then, when my father was in the eighth rank, his monthly salary was only fifteen taels of silver, and three meals a day were not enough to feed one person for five days."
Although the Han Dynasty promoted martial arts, it was even deduced by the great scholars of the Royal Academy and created the seven-level foundation-building skill "Bangma Jin" suitable for ordinary people to practice. However, the cultivation of internal skills is extremely difficult and requires a lot of energy. In terms of blood energy, many people spend their entire lives unable to break through the seventh level of foundation building skills and reach the minimum requirements for opening up the Dantian and nurturing the inner family's true energy.
The demon tiger meat is far more chewy than ordinary meat. Su Qinian bites and grinds it hard with two rows of teeth. After seven or eight times, it turns into minced meat and swallows it in his stomach. The last bowl of tiger bone soup is gulped down. Su Qinian felt as if his whole body had been immersed in a warm hot spring. The fatigue he felt earlier had dissipated a lot, and the scars on his limbs caused by the iron chains also began to itch uncontrollably. This was because the skin membrane had received enough blood support. , begins natural growth and heals quickly.
"Meditate! Melt the blood and nourish the spirit!"
Jingdu shouted loudly, like thunder in everyone's ears. Su Qinian's heart skipped a beat, and he soon felt blessed, because at this moment, he also felt far more tired than before, and his sleepiness surged like a tide. Come on, this is the feeling of overdraft after eating demon tiger meat that contains a lot of blood. The internal organs are being digested, the skin, muscles and bones are being absorbed. The spirit controls the movements of the physical body and reaches its peak.
With his legs crossed, the top of his head, the palms of his hands, and the palms of his feet facing the sky, Su Qinian's eyes were slightly closed, his muscles slowly became relaxed, his eyebrows relaxed, and he faintly exuded a natural smell.
…
Half an hour later.
Su Qinian opened his eyes, and suddenly felt refreshed and full of energy. Looking at the bare joints of his limbs and feet, some wounds had become scarred, and the injuries were almost healed.
"So fast! Most of these people are at a higher level of meditation than me, and they almost all leave the state of breath control and enter the state of concentration!"
Su Qinian stood up, his eyes flickering. There were more than 100 people on the shore, and nearly 80 people got up earlier than him. There were more than 30 people who were still awake. Among the more than 30 people, there were five or six others. Young children who have not formally practiced foundation building skills.
People who practice martial arts cannot train hard day and night. Many times, they need to eat and a large amount of blood enters the body, so they need to rely on meditation to speed up the dissolution and absorption, and at the same time recover from mental losses. The Han Dynasty promoted "Benma Jin", which also combined Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The three martial arts principles divide meditation into five realms: breath control, concentration, turtle breath, innateness, and divine illumination.
"Meditate quietly, follow the teachings of nature, adjust yourself to the four directions of heaven and earth, and use the power of heaven and earth to nourish and restore your spirit, speeding up the body's absorption of blood. If I can directly enter samadhi, just a stick of incense will do it. Wake up and absorb all the qi, blood and essence." (The new book is on the list. Please vote for recommendations and collect it!
