"Some strange dreams." Wang An woke up in the morning and recalled the dream from last night.
But he didn't take it seriously and started practicing Wu Qin Xi in the yard after breakfast.
In the morning, he went to the medical clinic to say goodbye to Zhao Zhiyuan. He had already agreed before that he would study here years ago and come back to study for a while after the Chinese New Year.
Asking the other person to have a meal together at noon is a way of saying thank you.
In the afternoon, Wang An drove back to his hometown with loads of New Year's goods to celebrate the New Year. It was past seven o'clock in the evening when he got home.
After parking the car, Wang An took out the large and small bags of New Year's goods from the car. The two old people who heard the sound came out of the house and looked at him back with joy from ear to ear.
"Grandma, grandpa, bought a car." Wang An patted the new car.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The two old people looked even happier at the new car.
"Come on, come in and have a seat." Wang An opened the car door and asked the two old people to get in the car.
"I'll drive you around tomorrow in my car."
"Hey, what are you going to do when you go out for a ride? It wastes gas."
"Hey, we're not short of money." Wang An said with a smile.
"You must be exhausted after driving all day. Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Wang An helped the two old people back home.
"Grandpa, when I was not at home, did you stop practicing the Wu Qin Xi I taught you? Is your back pain better?"
"Practice, practice every day, and I'm much better now." The old man smiled.
"real?"
"Really." The old man nodded.
"Listen to his nonsense. Since you left last time, he has been practicing every day since he remembered it. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets." Wang An's grandmother said with a smile.
"That won't work. Now that I'm back, I'll supervise your practice every day these days."
After returning home, I chatted with the two old people for a long time.
"Xiao An, are you still working in the same company? You don't usually come back so early."
"I changed companies. In this company, I have more freedom to work and make a lot of money. I now have other ways to make money.
Besides, didn’t you say it last time, I’m rich, it doesn’t matter whether I work or not.”
"Yeah, as long as you like it." The old man nodded happily.
"Come, grandpa, you lie down. I recently learned Chinese massage from a doctor of medicine. You can try my skills."
After hearing this, the old man lay down happily, revealing his skinny back.
Wang An began to massage the old man, first slowly, to relax the old man's muscles and promote blood circulation in the back and waist.
During the massage process, Wang An would stop from time to time and ask the old man how he felt.
"Grandpa, how does it feel here? Does it hurt? Is it numb?"
"A little pain."
"What about here?"
"It hurts too."
After this massage, Wang An already had a general understanding of the old man's back and lumbar spine.
As people get older, the flow of Qi and blood will definitely not be as good as that of young people. If Qi and blood are weak, the meridians will be easily blocked.
When the meridians are blocked, Qi and blood flow even worse, which is a vicious cycle.
If a person's meridians are kept smooth at all times and Qi and blood circulate adequately, human aging can be delayed.
After giving the old man a massage, Wang An applied a plaster on him.
This is not an ordinary plaster, it is a secret recipe passed down by Zhao Zhiyuan's ancestors. The specially made plaster is much better at reducing swelling, relieving pain, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation than ordinary plasters.
Wang An specially bought some from him before leaving.
"How are you feeling?"
"Well, it's much more comfortable. Okay, our ancestors are still very good at making things!" the old man praised.
"If it works, I'll massage you every day."
"You have just completed an effective TCM massage. The old man's pain has been relieved to a certain extent. TCM massage experience 10."
A prompt appears.
After chatting with the two old men for a while, Wang An returned to his room.
He took out a notebook and carefully drew a meridian diagram on the human back, and then marked some acupuncture points.
These are the problematic meridians and acupuncture points on his grandfather’s back that he determined through today’s massage. Tomorrow he can perform targeted massage treatment, and the effect will be better than today.
After finishing his work, he took out the "Vajra Zen" and read it twice carefully.
Now he can understand most of the scriptures at the end of the Diamond Sutra. In addition to some Buddhist words, there are also many acupuncture points and meridians.
"Could this be the legendary inner strength method?"
The more Wang An looked at it, the more it looked like a martial arts secret book.
It's just that he can't practice this mental method at all because he doesn't have true energy.
"Does this legendary thing of internal energy and true qi really exist? If it does exist, or has ever existed, how did it come about?"
I have thought about this question more than once.
"The mission is to explore the secret of Zhenqi. Is the legendary Zhenqi real, or is it just a myth?
If it is real, please try to practice your Qi. If it is fake, just treat it as a dream."
Task, see task.
Zhenqi, isn’t that something in martial arts novels? How to explore it and where to explore it?
"The number of unfinished tasks has reached three, stop triggering new tasks."
The special reminder appears again.
"There is also this restriction. If you fail to complete three tasks, you will not be punished for new tasks?"
The three tasks that Wang An has not completed yet are:
Practice real Tai Chi,
A punch weighs a thousand pounds,
There is another one that has just been triggered to explore the mystery of true energy.
The easier to complete of these three tasks is "One punch weighs a thousand pounds", and Wang An decided to start with him first.
"After I completed the task of restoring my body to health last time, I got the practice method of "Five Animals". I don't know what rewards I can get for completing this task."
After reciting the Tao Te Ching several times, Wang An turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In his dream, he saw that blurry figure again, standing not far from him. He couldn't see clearly his appearance or clothing, but he could vaguely feel that the other person was staring at him.
"It's this dream again, it's really strange!"
After waking up in the morning, Wang An thought about his dream last night.
"Is it because of that painting?" He thought of the painting of a fierce ghost eating people, and the reminder he got after seeing that painting.
"Did your mind be affected, causing you to have that inexplicable dream?"
Get up, wash up, and prepare breakfast for the two old people.
After having breakfast, he took the two old people with him to practice Wu Qin Xi.
In the morning, he drove the two elderly people out for a walk.
"When I was a child, I went there to collect firewood in the mountains." Not far after leaving the village, the old man pointed to a mountain road not far away.
"There were bandits on that mountain."
The car was driving slowly, and the two old men looked out the window, chatting from time to time about past experiences or some hearsay stories.
