"Meridians are the paths through which internal Qi circulates. Acupuncture points are where internal Qi passes. There are twenty-four meridians all over the human body, twelve on each side. They are the three yin of hands, the three yang of hands, and the three yang of hands that I just taught you. Three foot yins and three foot yins; the extra meridians have eight meridians, namely Ren, Du, Chong, Dai, Yinwei, Yangwei, Yinqiao and Yangqiao. The thirty-two meridians consist of 720 acupoints all over the body. Continuously, the inner Qi is connected through this." Qingxuan said to Mei Yuanchen.
Mei Yuanchen's talent was far beyond Qingxuan's expectation. Not only did he recognize all 91 acupuncture points in the six hand meridians in less than half an hour, but he also recognized all 210 acupuncture points in the six foot meridians in less than an hour. Eight acupuncture points have been learned. In order to help Mei Yuanchen deepen his understanding of the meridian points, Qingxuan taught him the martial arts after teaching him the twelve sutras.
"Master, do people who practice martial arts and those who don't practice martial arts have inner qi?" Mei Yuanchen asked curiously after hearing this.
"Of course. In addition to bones, blood, muscles, and tendons, the human body also has internal Qi. Bones, blood, muscles, and tendons are the basis of substance, but internal Qi is the support of deficient substances. Just like branches that keep us alive, meals Eating soup and water is the essence, and the Qi inhaled is the deficient quality, invisible but inseparable. The internal Qi is released through the body to form Qi, just like someone punching you. If the internal Qi is enough, the punch will be strong, and you will It hurts; if you use less inner energy, the force of your fist will be weak, and the blow to your body will not hurt so much. Inner energy is our origin, and it is born with it whether you practice martial arts or not." Qing Xuan patiently explained.
"Yes, Master! Disciple finally understands this great mystery!" Mei Yuanchen said with great joy after having solved the secret. Taoists study the way of heaven and man, and their study of body meridians is unique in the world. Ordinary people cannot clearly understand such profound illusory truths.
"But martial arts practitioners are different from ordinary people after all. Ordinary people can't jump half a foot high with all their strength, and can't reach two feet with a desperate jump. But people with profound internal skills can jump up to tall buildings and jump across the sky. Jian, one punch can break huge rocks, one breath can light incense, they are really different. The difference between the two lies in the method of luck and the amount of Qi gathering. With the right luck, four taels can move a thousand catties; the Qi can be stored to The body has the power to lift mountains. Storing Qi is like storing water. A drop of rain can hardly wet your clothes, but a bursting flood can destroy life and the world. The difference lies in the immensity of the amount. Storing water is like practicing Qi, and This is what the Wu family calls cultivating internal strength and accumulating internal strength. But the difficulty in cultivating internal strength lies in detecting qi. Those with poor intelligence may not be able to find this method of exploring qi after decades of hard work. Like a child piling up a pile of people in the snow. Making the first little snowball is the most difficult thing. If you don’t make the first little snowball and just walk around in the snow, you will never be able to make a snowman. Fortunately, your ability to detect air is probably very difficult in the world. You can compare with others, and you can learn it instantly. The feeling I feel when I look at you now is like seeing a toddler who has just been taught how to build a man in the snow by an adult, and in the blink of an eye he staggers on his own. A snowman was built." Qingxuan looked at Mei Yuanchen with an obvious smile on his face and asked, "There is such a thing in the world. If you haven't seen it in person, who can believe it? Disciple, what do you mean? Am I being surprised or not?”
"Hey, this is quite strange." Mei Yuanchen was praised by his master and replied with an embarrassed smile.
"The practice of internal strength is like a ball rolling in the snow. The snowball gets bigger and bigger, and the internal strength is practiced deeper and deeper. But there is one thing, the snowball cannot be scattered, otherwise it will not work. The same is true for internal strength, and it must not be practiced in a wrong way. Otherwise, it will be difficult to recover from the madness. Disciple, you must remember this!" Qing Xuandun said firmly. Mei Yuanchen naturally agreed.
"Practice the internal energy to a deep level, and if the acupuncture points of the twenty-four main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians have strong internal energy accumulated, it can penetrate the hair and skin and become invulnerable." Qingxuan said lightly. When Mei Yuanchen heard this, he got excited and shouted, "I know! I know! I heard the scholar said, is this the Bronze Man Technique? Or is it the indestructible King Kong?" After hearing this, Qingxuan smiled and shook his head, "This But they are far apart. The Bronze Man, the Indestructible Vajra, the Iron Clothes Shirt, and the Golden Bell Cover are all a kind of horizontal training, but they practice internal skills and mental methods on top of external training. In essence, these skills It's still external skills, but people who know these external skills usually know internal skills." Seeing that Mei Yuanchen seemed confused, Qingxuan added, "That means ordinary people can practice these skills directly, even if they don't practice internal skills. It doesn’t matter, it’s just a matter of how long it lasts. After cultivating internal strength, the internal strength will be continuous and the “rigid body” state will be maintained for a much longer time.” Only then did Mei Yuanchen understand, and he suddenly realized, “Oh, that’s it!”
"The "Golden Bell" in Buddhism is the top martial arts practiced externally, and the "Drip Water Sutra" and "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" are top mental techniques practiced internally. All three can be invulnerable if practiced to great success." Qingxuan commented, There was a hint of respect on his face. When Mei Yuanchen heard about the three profound martial arts, he couldn't help but praise, "Wow, that's amazing!" Seeing his master looking at him with a smile, he asked with a smile, "Master, how about your longevity skill? What about these three?" In fact, Mei Yuanchen already had his own answer in his heart, "Master has defeated all the unrivaled masters in the world decades ago, so this longevity skill is definitely better than the three Buddhist skills."
"The 'Golden Bell' is always an external training skill, and should not be compared with the 'Drips of Water Sutra' and the 'Marrow Washing Sutra'. The internal training of the 'Drips of Water Sutra' is continuous, and the 'Marrow Washing Sutra' is thick and solemn. The two Everyone is good at winning. If someone can learn both the 'Marrow Cleansing Sutra' and the 'Drip Water Sutra' at the same time, and practice it to the level of perfection, he can be compared with the 'Immortality Kung Fu'." Qingxuan did not answer directly. After hearing this, Mei Yuanchen clearly understood that the "immortality skill" was stronger than the two. "The Immortality Kung Fu is divided into four chapters, with a total of four exercises and twelve uses. The first chapter is about body training, and this chapter has two exercises, one for self-defense and one for body and soul training. The second chapter is about meridians, and this chapter has two exercises for two purposes. It is used to connect the twelve meridians and the two meridians, and has dual uses for healing wounds and acupoints. The fourth chapter is about fists and feet. This chapter has seven uses, namely: boxing, palm, leg, fingering, sword, grabbing, and breath adjustment. At the end The chapter is a vertical exercise, divided into three functions: Qinggong, footwork and body technique." Mei Yuanchen listened intently, for fear of missing even a word, so he listened to his master and said again, "Among the martial arts known in the world, Xiang Yi explains the way. Headed by the two families, Buddhist practice focuses on the foundation, and the martial arts are closely linked, and the practice must be done step by step. Therefore, for people in the Buddhist sect, martial arts are often more reserved than agile. Taoist martial arts emphasizes casualness and is not involved with each other. If you want to learn You can learn whatever you want. For people in the Taoist sect, martial arts are often full of spirituality but not heavy enough. But when you practice to the extreme, there is almost no difference between the two. It all depends on your personal cultivation." Qingxuan paused, chuckled and said, "Honestly It is suitable for people to follow the Buddha, chant sutras, eat fasts, and cultivate themselves to save themselves. Smart people should enter the Tao, study all things physical, and indulge in whatever they want." There was some bitterness in his words, but he said with a serious tone, "Buddhism, Tao, and Dharma are not high or low. It only depends on the individual. Whether there is a relationship with Buddhism or a relationship with Taoism." It can be seen that Qingxuan does not mean to look down on Buddhism.
"However, in terms of martial arts, there are misinterpretations of the 'Drip Water Sutra' and the 'Marrow Cleansing Sutra'. The order of practice for both is to first clear the twenty-four meridians, then go through Chong, Dai, Yang Qiao, Yin Qiao, Yang Wei, The six meridians of the Yin dimension finally open up the two main meridians of Zhengyin and Zhengyang, Ren and Du. In this way, all 720 acupoints in the whole body gather internal energy, and there is no difference in thickness, profit or loss, gain or loss between each other. . The Longevity Kung Fu only penetrates the twelve meridians of the hands and the two meridians of Ren and Du on the chest and back. The internal force of the body is dispersed into 670 acupoints, and the remaining 50 acupoints are emptied. When used against others, the weight does not decrease but increases, and the spirit and ease are obviously more than enough. This That’s the subtlety of its inner strength.”
"Master, when can disciples learn the inner strength of Longevity Kung Fu!" Upon hearing this, Mei Yuanchen felt like a cat scratching his heart. It was really hard to resist, so he blurted out and asked.
"Meridians are the paths through which internal Qi circulates. Acupuncture points are where internal Qi passes. There are twenty-four meridians all over the human body, twelve on each side.
