Chapter 5 A Hundred Years of Swordsmanship
"call!"
"suck!"
"call!"
"..."
…
Along with the sound, everyone sitting cross-legged in the quiet room adjusted their breathing rate.
Use breathing visualization to cultivate your spirit. Visualization is important, but breathing is even more important.
The rhythm of breathing is not static. It needs to be adjusted according to the different body constitutions of each person. There is no situation where everyone has the same rhythm.
However, although there are no identical machines, the human body is not a machine that requires micron precision. If the rhythm is a little different, there will be no consequences, at most the effect will be worse.
The swordsman's vision and swordsmanship are undoubtedly extremely powerful. They can guide people like Zhao Cheng in this basic breathing method.
Even if we take an average value in terms of breathing rhythm, although the effect is not as good as one-to-one guidance, it is still far more effective than trying to figure it out by yourself, or finding an audio video online to practice with.
Swordsman-level private lessons are expensive for a reason.
Of course, there are also wealthy students in Qingyuan, who despise the school’s public kendo classes and instead pay for one-on-one guidance after class.
But for ordinary students, the school's kendo classes are the best teaching resources.
There were comments on the Internet before, saying that it was unfair to other students in Shonan. This is the reason.
On the one hand, the effect is better if you are guided to practice, but more importantly, you should correct some bad breathing habits according to the guidance.
In a short period of time, the effect may not be visible, but if the time is extended to five, ten or twenty years, over time, the gap will suddenly become larger.
Zhao Cheng breathed as the voice guided him, stroking the wooden sword on his leg with both hands, meditating in his mind, and emptying his body.
The fragrance in the nose makes people feel clear and focused.
The source of the fragrance is an incense burner in the quiet room. This kind of spice has a calming effect, but it is quite expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
Although the breathing rhythm is guided by the sound, Zhao Cheng does not completely follow the sound. After a breathing cycle, about 5% of the time, it is slightly different from the rhythm, either faster or slower.
A little bit, but overall, it is not much different from the rhythm of guidance.
Zhao Cheng's body is adapting, or in other words, it is naturally assimilating the breathing method to make it more suitable for him.
As long as you practice cultivation, you will make progress, even if the progress is extremely subtle.
This is undoubtedly an ability similar to a "superpower".
Of course, there is a gap between the progress achieved by one's own exploration and the progress achieved through someone's guidance and guidance.
If there were any future technology instruments monitoring Zhao Cheng's body at this time, the changes would probably be +1, +1, +1 for breathing technique proficiency.
It wasn't until nearly twenty minutes later that the voice suddenly said: "Stop!"
At this moment, everyone's breathing was stagnant, the breathing rhythm was interrupted, the state of visualization was also interrupted, and the mind instantly returned to reality.
"Cultivation focuses on relaxation and restraint. Blind visualization is not a good thing. It is difficult for the ghost spirit of all eons to become a saint. The fragile body cannot support a strong spirit and will only deplete the source of life."
"Everyone, get up and gather outside in Area 3!"
The voice suddenly changed from gentle to harsh.
In the field, after practicing breathing meditation for nearly twenty minutes, everyone became more energetic and no longer tired from the whole day.
This is the role of breathing meditation, to nourish the spirit!
Among them, nourishing is more than refining.
If you really want to exert the effect of nourishing the exercises, you have to practice the exercises.
With the combination of movement and stillness, both body and spirit can be effectively exercised.
However, there is a time limit for the practice of visualizing breathing, at least for people like Zhao Cheng.
If there is no such thing as saying, I should first practice silent exercises to recuperate, then practice dynamic exercises until I am exhausted, and then rely on silent exercises to cultivate.
Because the cultivation of breathing method is not a real rest, but a stimulation to explore the potential and the origin of life.
In a short period of time, practicing the breathing method once is to tap into your potential, but practicing it twice will deplete the source of life. Not only will it have no refreshing effect, but it will make you even more tired.
Forcibly squeezing yourself will cause you to age prematurely in the short term, and over time, you will die suddenly.
When he first regained his memory, Zhao became interested in studying the most efficient way of cultivation, and did a lot of research in this regard.
Area 3 is a corner inside the venue. In the venue, there are closed rooms, only quiet rooms and locker rooms. The other places are divided into areas with lines.
When practicing static exercises, the place should be small, so that it is easier to fall into silence. However, when practicing dynamic exercises, the scene should be wide. Only when the field of vision is widened can the spirit be clear.
While walking on the way to Area 3, Zhao Cheng's eyes rested on the instructor walking at the front.
This instructor is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties but is actually nearly fifty. He has broad hands and a tall body.
The most eye-catching thing is that his back is always upright, like a mountain with a thousand blades, and has a majestic momentum.
Zhao Cheng knew that this was one of the characteristics of the swordsman level. After the pure spirit was solidified to a certain level, it developed its own potential.
However, compared to the spirit, the most powerful swordsman is the physical body.
If you are in the pinnacle state of a standing swordsman, your spirit has been purified to the extreme, and your body has been condensed to the extreme. With every move, you can condense 10% of your body's strength into one point in just a few inches.
Ordinary people can only use 20% of their power. This refers to the situation where they are proficient in force-generating techniques, otherwise it will be even lower.
This is not a matter of technique, but of differences in human body structure.
According to scientific research, the nervous system of a swordsman is far more developed than that of ordinary people.
This is a spontaneous evolution, or adaptation, of the body caused by spiritual purification.
Using the mind to drive the physical body and force it to evolve is the key to the practice system in this world.
When they arrived in Area 3, without the instruction of the instructor, the group of people spontaneously formed a formation, then dispersed and separated themselves from each other. Then with a start, they each held wooden swords and started making moves one by one.
This is Qigong!
And this dynamic exercise, combined with the previous static exercise, is the complete seventeenth set of six editions of basic swordsmanship.
The original version of this set of swordsmanship originated a hundred years ago. At the instruction of the No. 1 figure, the country summoned a large number of famous martial arts figures. It took five years and Hao Shou made countless additions and deletions under the scriptures to create the first set.
The first draft of basic swordsmanship.
Over the next hundred years, this set of swordsmanship continued to evolve.
Until now, this swordsmanship may not be the fastest or most effective in terms of laying the foundation, nor may it have the strongest foundation, but it is definitely the most stable, the least difficult, and the most suitable for ordinary people.
