"Hmm, yes, I can't go to the hospital this morning." Ronan rode his bicycle and asked Bai Xinyan for leave. His breathing was rapid, and the cold wind that hit his face choked him, causing him to cough a few more times.
Bai Xinyan's ears tipped, and she roughly judged Ronan's current situation: "Morning exercise, pay attention to the amount of exercise. As for treatment, your condition is stable now. It's okay to miss it once in a while. How are you learning how to sleep?"
Ronan dealt with it without saying much.
Bai Xinyan didn't ask any more questions and quickly hung up the communication. With this attitude, it seems that he wants to implement happiness therapy to the end.
Ronan was breathing heavily, forming a faint white smoke in the cold morning. It was now 7:20 in the morning, and he was still one street away from his final destination, Zhixing Academy. But after nearly two hours of riding, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and Xue Lei was ahead of him by one level.
Now Ronan felt that his thighs were stiff, his calf muscles were spasming, and his chest and back felt like water. He couldn't stand up in the car and use any force.
Xue Lei looked back and slowed down slightly. It could be seen that he had enough energy to do it.
Ronan really envied this animal that seemed to never tire. During the nearly fifty kilometers, Xue Lei did not walk all the way like a long-distance runner. During this period, he changed a variety of running methods. He often used boxing kicks and jumped between floors. In terms of exercise volume and consumption, He was dozens of times better than Ronan who was riding all the way.
Even if the speed of the two of them has slowed down at this time, Xue Lei's intensity of movement has also increased accordingly based on the unit's forward distance. Around him, you can hear the sound of fists and sleeves cutting through the air. "Voice. He is basically a training freak who sweats profusely and treats himself harshly.
If this happens every day, Ronan can probably understand why Xue Lei has such amazing strength at such a young age that even awakened people like Zhang Yingying are full of praise.
Speaking of which, Ronan was driven into the rhythm by Xue Lei today, almost exerting the energy of a racing race - the cyclist was led around by the runner, which felt embarrassing even thinking about it.
Finally, Xue Lei's morning exercise came to an end. He stopped his posture, exhaled for a long time, and changed to a brisk walk. Perhaps feeling Ronan's gaze, he turned around and said, "Nanzi, don't be offended. It's not easy for me to open my mouth and get distracted when I'm practicing."
Indeed, Xue Lei hardly spoke along the way, which was quite different from his cheerful and talkative temperament.
"It's nothing, this is good." Ronan was really impressed and sighed: "How can you do martial arts without working hard?"
Xue Lei did not speak immediately. He looked at Ronan up and down, then grinned and said, "The master of the gym often says that in martial arts practice, opportunity comes first. If you cannot seize the opportunity, don't mention anything!"
Ronan said "Uh". He really couldn't think of any connection between them, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's the meaning here?"
"The owner of the museum once used breathing and breathing as an example and said something about it. Let me tell you about it."
Xue Lei then shook his head and said: "The human body has respiratory metabolism, and the heaven and earth also have respiratory metabolism. We are small in stature and short-sighted. We can only see in front of us and focus on our own breathing and breathing, but the breathing of heaven and earth is blurred. Find it in the long river of time.
“We can’t see the passage of time, and it’s hard for us to coordinate our breathing with the breathing of heaven and earth. But we can be a sailor, use our bodies as boats, and use delicate operations to ensure that we don’t miss a single moment in the waves of the long river of time. The power of the wind and water will eventually make the breath of heaven and earth assist one's breath. Regardless of whether it is going with the current or against the waves, the speed of the boat is faster than the speed of the water, which is the true meaning of practice.
"Among them, wind direction and water power are opportunities. Sand can be gathered to form a tower, and building blocks can be made into a forest. Small forces can be gathered into powerful forces, and they can be responded to form and spirit one by one. Isn't it quite difficult to understand how to strengthen functions and transform into vitality?"
Speaking later, Xue Lei was a little unsure of Ronan's understanding.
Ronan hummed, knowing that Xue Lei wanted to remind him of something, probably about concentration and perseverance, but he still couldn't figure out the details.
Xue Lei laughed: "I didn't understand it at the time, but then the owner of the museum said that we are all boatmen, and traveling through the long river of time is inevitably surrounded by dangers. In the old days, when boatmen on the river encountered rapids and dangerous shoals, they had to avoid destroying the boat. When people die, the energy consumption is second, but the energy consumption of observing and utilizing water is the big one.
"Martial arts practice seems to be a beating of strength, but in fact it is the will that is beaten, and the mind is tortured. Whether it is daily exercise or fighting against the enemy, the spirit comes first, the energy comes first, and the loss should also be heavy. It’s only reasonable to wait.”
Ronan looked at Xue Lei, and now he finally confirmed.
Riding all the way down, isn't he the kind of person Xue Lei said, whose physical exertion far exceeds his mental exhaustion? The physical functions of his whole body have reached their limit, but his mind is still very active. In Xue Lei's opinion, is it because his concentration and concentration are not enough?
Is this a criticism?
With Xue Lei's temperament, no matter how tactfully he spoke, it would only end there. For a moment, Ronan's body felt tired, a little like pins and needles, and even his breath felt a little feverish.
Xue Lei was also a little worried about speaking too much, so he waved his hands subconsciously, but he was a little nervous: "Nanzi, actually I am"
"Where should I use my brain so that I can be focused and use it reasonably?" Ronan asked Xue Lei seriously, not letting Xue Lei say what he had or didn't have.
As a friend of his, he wouldn't be angry over such a trivial matter, but he really didn't think about it. It stands to reason that he has been studying and practicing very seriously from last night to now. There is no case of being distracted or lazy?
Seeing that Ronan was in a good mood, Xue Lei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained: "Nanzi, you are indeed working very hard, but you are not very familiar with the ways inside, so your hard work is too rough. You must know how to walk, sit, and lie down. It's all practice, every move and every move is done with hard work and with the heart. You are cultivating the 'eye aperture', and the eye is the light of the mind. When the eyes see, the heart will see. Every movement of the hands and feet must be followed by eyes."
Ronan looked at his hands and feet and said with a wry smile: "But I'm riding a bicycle."
"Everything returns to its roots. If your hands and feet are moving, then keep your Dantian. These are just small skills. The really difficult thing is to reflect on yourself and others, not leaving behind a single strand or a trickle, from the outside to the inside, returning to the root and restoring life. , only then do you know what it means to have the light of your heart, what it means to be beyond your ability, only then do you know where to work, and only then do you know how hard it is. This is what the owner of the museum told you when I came here."
The last sentence is the bottom line.
Ronan was stunned for a moment and looked away from Xue Lei. He first looked at his clothes that were almost soaked with sweat, and then quickly raised his head again to look at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
At this point, most of the pedestrians are students, but they are also all kinds and mixed. Ronan observed mentally and roughly calculated that there were about seven to eight hundred people on one street. His ability is rare among awakened people, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But if he went into detail and watched the movements of his hands and feet, the changes in his body shape, every detail, let alone a street, there were five or six people walking around him, which made him feel mentally and physically exhausted.
Of course, if he really wants to be meticulous, wouldn't he have to include all the changes in the reactions of the flesh, blood, and nerves throughout his body into his cognitive program?
Is this beyond human power?
Does this count as spiritual practice?
Ronan supported the car with one foot and was in a daze among the crowds. In a daze, he had a new understanding of "preparation for hardship" mentioned by Xiu Shen Yu.
