After Elder Yu left, several people went to train separately. Zhang Tianbiao walked towards the Fiery Room, and Cao Tianqi followed Senior Brother Guo towards the Ice Cellar. Fatty Cao thought that his body would be useful in the Ice Cellar.
As for Lu Kun, he plans to go back to the stone house to try strength training first. Following Senior Brother Guo's explanation today, some special gymnastics moves from the past may be useful.
When meditating in the Fire Room and the Ice Cellar, the body remains still because the initial function of most of the deep muscles in the human body is to maintain the stability of the body posture. Only when they are still and receive external stimulation can people feel their movements. exist.
Some power moves are also static, such as handstands. Thinking of this, Lu Kun returned to his room and started trying it.
Inversion seems simple, but it is not. First of all, the correct body posture is like standing in a straight line on the ground. In this action, the strength of the shoulders is second. What is important is the deep muscles of the core of the waist and abdomen and the deep muscles of the arms. They come from Keep your body stable and balanced.
Lu Kun began to train in his room. According to his speculation, when he is weak, it is the best time to feel the deep muscles.
Time passed slowly. Lu Kun was sweating more and more, and his body began to tremble, as if he was about to fall down any moment. His arms, shoulders, waist and abdomen all began to feel sore.
"This is the moment!"
Lu Kun threw away his distracting thoughts and began to use his consciousness to feel all the external muscles that were exerting force. He felt that the arm muscles were screaming in pain, the shoulder muscles were moaning in exhaustion, and the abdominal muscles were in tearing pain.
However, the blood in the leg muscles has decreased and it is no longer possible to feel it.
"No, since I can't feel the muscles of the thighs and calves now, why can they stand upright? What maintains them? It's impossible for bones to maintain stability without muscles. There must be some, and I want to find them!"
His consciousness began to move toward his body, and he gradually felt the muscles in his thighs.
"I feel it. Hey, this is still an external muscle. Why am I so stupid? The leg stability must be the muscles near the waist, abdomen and pelvis."
The consciousness then moved towards the pelvis and waist and abdomen. At this time, the external muscles happened to be a little numb. I ignored the wailing external muscles, and finally felt something strange between the pelvis and waist and abdomen.
"Those small but powerful little guys, attached to the bones and hiding deep in the external muscles, I finally found you!"
When he was excited, his external muscles could no longer maintain their movements, and he fell to the ground with a "bang". However, Lu Kun remained motionless and kept this feeling firmly in his brain.
Then he began to adjust his breathing, relax his body, and feel the depth of the body's core again, only to find that this time he could only feel the muscles there, and no deeper feelings could be felt.
Lu Kun frowned and murmured to himself: "How could this happen? I felt them contracting just now, but now it's only a little bit. It must be because the deep muscles were in a tight state just now. I'll try again."
After previous training, the external muscles had begun to tire. Later, Lu Kun's handstand time became shorter and shorter, and the increasingly sore external muscles also blocked Lu Kun's perception.
As if he thought of something, Lu Kun said to himself in surprise: "I can change my posture and find a way to increase the core pressure. I just need to cross my legs and do a handstand. That's it!"
After resting for more than half an hour, Lu Kun began to stand cross-legged and handstand. As soon as he completed this movement, he felt the pressure on his waist and abdomen increase greatly, and he immediately felt the waist and abdomen carefully.
Soon, the external muscles of the waist and abdomen were overwhelmed, and his posture was about to collapse. Lu Kun tightened his will to keep himself stable.
Finally, he once again had the feeling of deep muscle support. He immediately devoted himself to understanding how these muscles exerted force, how to contract, and how to stabilize. After he had almost experienced it, he relaxed and could no longer maintain his posture, so he fell down. .
For the next two days, Lu Kun locked himself in the stone house. Except for the servants who regularly delivered meals and occasionally chatted with Cao Yunqi next door, he kept practicing cross-legged handstands.
Later, as soon as he did this movement, he could feel the deep muscles of his core. However, when he was quiet, Lu Kun could not actively mobilize these deep muscles. This was not considered an introduction.
"Junior brother Lu, you are still studying the Vajra Technique. I will go to the ice cellar in a moment. Do you want to come with me?" Cao Yunqi's voice came from outside the house. In the past two days, Cao Yunqi would say hello to Lu Kun every time before practicing.
"Yes, I feel a little better now. I can try it in the ice cellar while it's hot and see if I can force my muscles to contract actively."
Lu Kun was thinking, and when he heard Cao Yunqi's words, he suddenly realized.
Thinking of this, Lu Kun shouted outside the house: "Senior Brother Cao, wait for me, I will go with you."
After thinking that his goal was to strengthen the deep muscles of the waist and abdomen, Lu Kun picked up the quilt in the room and walked out.
Cao Yunqi saw Lu Kun coming out with a quilt, and said with a surprised look on his face: "Hey, what is Junior Brother Lu doing with the quilt? Could it be that he wants to sleep in the ice cellar tonight?"
Lu Kun smiled mysteriously at the fat man and replied: "Senior Brother Cao, please bring the quilt as well. As for what to do, you will know in a moment."
Immediately afterwards, Lu Kun asked his servants to get a few quilts and put them into the ice cellar, while he moved a lot of stone piers into it.
Under Cao Yunqi's curious eyes, Lu Kun slowly built a strange combination in the middle. At the bottom were some stone piers forming a circle, leaving room for one person to stand in the middle.
The stone pier was piled up to the height of a person's buttocks, and a layer of quilts was spread on top. On top of the quilt was a layer of ice cubes one foot high. There was also a layer of quilts placed on top of the ice cubes. Then Lu Kun stood Going in, only the core of Lu Kun's waist and abdomen was in the ice at this time, and the other parts were insulated by quilts.
"Senior Brother Cao, I will start to feel the deep muscles of the waist and abdomen in a moment, so don't disturb me yet."
After saying this, Lu Kun closed his eyes and mobilized his consciousness to feel the muscles in his waist and abdomen, regardless of Cao Yunqi's thoughtful expression.
"First mobilize the external muscles to resist the cold."
Lu Kun gradually felt a touch of warmth in his waist and abdomen. After a while, the external muscles were exhausted, and the cold air began to invade the depths. The internal organs had not yet felt particularly cold, and the deep muscles began to throb.
Recalling the feeling of deep muscle contraction when doing a cross-legged handstand, gradually, those little guys began to contract very hard under Lu Kun's will.
"It's moving, good. I have to control them to contract more slowly. The slower they are, the more control I will have."
I don't know how long it took them to slowly contract about twenty times. Lu Kun felt that his brain was a little dizzy and his consciousness was exhausted. He opened his eyes and was greeted by four pairs of curious eyes.
"Um, senior brothers, why are you all here?" These people really shocked Lu Kun.
Guo Botao looked at the things Lu Kun had piled up and explained, "Fat Cao asked us to come. Junior Brother Lu has been in this circle for most of an hour. Have you gained anything?"
After thinking about it, Lu Kun had no intention of hiding his progress. He nodded and said, "I'm lucky. I was able to mobilize a little bit of my deep muscles and barely got started."
"Hiss..." Several people gasped. You must know that they have been practicing external martial arts for ten years, and Guo Botao reluctantly entered the martial arts by chance. This Lu Kun has never practiced external martial arts before. He actually walked ahead of them. He was really a genius.
"I heard that Senior Brother Qian said that Junior Brother Lu has a strong foundation and extraordinary spiritual awareness. He is indeed well-deserved." The speaker was Ouyang Yiyun. He had not memorized the secret manual yet and was the last to arrive, so he did not feel jealous.
Guo Botao and Cao Yunqi had a good impression of Lu Kun and were happy for him.
Only Zhang Tianbiao looked depressed and shocked, looking at Lu Kun with complicated eyes.
