Chapter 441 Yuan Fang is the best in martial arts in the world
"Crack, bang, bang!"
In the governor's house, one person chewed ginseng instead of three people chewing it together.
During this time, Li Yan practiced Qigong with everyone as an ordinary person, and realized firsthand the importance of external objects.
If the qualifications are not enough, external medicine can be used to supplement it. It is not novel, but it is very practical.
Refining and transforming qi is originally a Taoist term, which emphasizes reaching the extreme of emptiness, maintaining tranquility, and having luck come and go in a cycle, with an endless supply and endless life. The refining of qi that he talks about as a basic internal skill currently tends to have a superficial meaning, refining.
Transform food essence into true energy in the body.
Li Yan also explained the principle in detail at the beginning: "Any food we eat will absorb its nutrients, but that is the body's instinct, and the utilization rate is very low. What we have to do now is to fight against the body's instinct and snatch nutrients..."
Guo Yuanzhen and An Zhongjing thought hard and finally shook their heads: "I don't quite understand..."
Li Yan didn't say much, just two concise words: "Eat! Practice!"
Now I understand: "Crack, bang, bang!"
Ginseng is known as the king of herbs and the king of medicines. It can replenish vitality and cure fatigue, and it truly deserves its reputation.
In just two days, Guo Yuanzhen and An Zhongjing saw immediate results. As they ate ginseng three times a day and practiced basic internal skills, they gained an extra strength in their bodies. They felt warm and comfortable throughout their limbs.
.
But Li Yan was not satisfied after the inspection: "Your Qi is still an external force of medicinal effect, and has not been completely transformed into your own power. It must be stored in the Dantian to truly store it."
This process is a test of talent. Guo Yuanzhen spent three days, and after half of the effect of the medicine had dissipated, he mastered the trick and formed his first weekly cycle.
It took An Zhongjing seven days to finally grasp that feeling, and he had the first wave of true energy that he could control and circulate in his body.
Li Yan’s comment on this is: “The reason why it is so difficult for you to practice is because you are used to the path of vigorous energy in the past. If you take the path of Qi again, you will naturally feel awkward. Being able to find the feeling in just a few days is already very good.
Not bad.”
An Zhongjing felt the zhenqi in his body and felt very happy, while Guo Yuanzhen was more concerned about practicality: "Liu Lang, what is the difference between this zhenqi and strength? Now we turn to practicing zhenqi, what are the benefits and benefits?
Disadvantages?"
Li Yandao: "That's a good question. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the same goes for these two forces."
"The advantage of Jinli is that it is easy to learn and generally has strong aggression. Talented people in the past dynasties have created many Jin methods, and there are ready-made choices."
"The disadvantage is that the peak period is short and is too closely related to physical fitness. When you are young and strong, you can be impressive when you practice hard. Once your body passes its peak period, it all depends on your own perseverance."
"This is also why many children from military generals' families have lost the habit of practicing jin. It is indeed very hard, and they regress very quickly. If they don't practice jin for one or two years, they will not be much different from ordinary people."
Guo Yuanzhen immediately thought of Qiu Shenji, who used to be lean and lean, but now has a belly as big as Di Renjie's. It was an example of Qiu Shenji who couldn't bear the hardship and gave up on training.
An Zhongjing was also deeply touched: "I practiced Shaolin Bodhidharma since I was a child. It was abandoned when I returned to Liangzhou. After I became an official, I picked it up, but I couldn't reach the peak state of concentration in the past. I think I can't do it unless I am like Shaolin Wushu."
It would be difficult for a monk to practice martial arts all day long, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain. We are so busy with official duties, how can we be so free?"
Guo Yuanzhen looked at Li Yan subconsciously, and Li Yan seemed unaware, and continued: "Compared with strength, the advantage of zhenqi is that it has a longer peak period. Although it requires practice over time, no matter the intensity of practice, or
The hardships you have to endure are easier, and you are better at healing. It is the power that truly protects your internal organs, delays aging, and prolongs your life.”
"The disadvantage is that it is difficult to get started. Lieutenant generals in the army can practice horn resistance with just a handful of strength, but it is even more difficult for them to learn how to operate Qi. After all, not everyone can rely on large amounts of tonic.
Get started quickly.”
"The systematic exercises are not perfect now. It's just my family's opinion. It's still in its infancy..."
"You should consider it carefully before making a choice. I hope that the emergence of Zhenqi will provide an additional path, rather than being monopolized by me and not others."
Hearing this, An Zhongjing's voice rose and he was very excited: "I understand what Liulang did. This is a great event. It is an honor for me to participate in it. I can't practice Shaolin Bodhidharma anyway, so I just turned to Zhenqi!"
"
Guo Yuanzhen also became solemn: "If the healing effect of Zhenqi is stronger than that of strength, and it can prolong life, it would be of great significance. I don't want to get sick when I get older, so I naturally hope to cultivate Zhenqi."
Li Yan felt the two people's trust and expectations for him, and his spirit was lifted: "Okay! Then keep practicing!"
After the two of them sensed the Dantian, the next step was to use their original strength to stimulate and strengthen their true energy and adapt to the new exercise route.
This step must be taken very carefully. If you practice alone, you will most likely end up going crazy. Now with Li Yan's care, you can get through the difficulty without any danger.
Next, I went from quiet meditation practice to the strength training style. Each held a gun and stick in the martial arts training ground and started actual combat drills.
Li Yan watched from the side.
Regarding the method of cultivating Zhenqi, it may be another gift he gave to the world before he left. Of course, he hopes to achieve perfection within his own capabilities.
And he did have different experiences and understandings from different people.
Some people definitely do not need to change their cultivation, such as Yang Zaiwei, Ming Chongyan, Kumarana and other strong practitioners. It is not worth the gain to change to Zhenqi training. It can only be used as a reference to draw parallels;
For an old general like Liu Rengui, the purpose of cultivating Zhenqi is to prolong life and live a few more years. After it is completely perfected, Li Yan hopes that the elderly around him can practice it and strengthen their bodies, as if it is truly useful.
qigong;
People like Guo Yuanzhen and An Zhongjing, who are young and not very strong in martial arts, are the most suitable for transformation. Of course, it is not necessary. As just said, there is one more path to choose from.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, the most perfect one is definitely Wan'er, who has not lost strength and vitality. She is the direct descendant. Unfortunately, there are too few such examples. Even those who are far away
The little prince of Tuyuhun may not be able to meet the cultivation requirements, and the future prince who is not yet weaned and nominally worships him as his teacher is even more in doubt.
It doesn't matter, just teach Wan'er.
Just like this, another half month passed, and the fleet heading to the Japanese country had not returned yet. On this day, Li Yan arrived at his loyal martial arts training ground again, only to find that Guo Yuanzhen had arrived early and was chewing ginseng and soaking in deer antler. It was a great supplement.

Li Yan reminded: "You should take it easy. Now you are used to this rhythm of refining and transforming qi, but you won't be able to adapt to it later."
Guo Yuanzhen was a little surprised: "This feeling of getting stronger is really intoxicating. I need to restrain myself and avoid going to extremes..."
Seeing that there was no one around, his eyes flickered, and he came over and whispered: "Liu Lang, since we can cultivate the true qi by refining the qi, can the nobles who are weak in health also practice in this way?"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, but make sure nothing goes wrong."
Li Yan waited for a while, feeling a little strange: "Where is Zhongjing? He is more active than you, why haven't you come today?"
Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "Liu Lang doesn't know, right? He has recently competed with Shaolin monks, and he is very impressive. Yesterday, he defeated several Shaolin monks one after another. Only after one of the thirteen monks took action did he stop.
Such arrogance!"
Li Yan also smiled and said: "It's pretty awesome!"
Nowadays, the Thirteen Warrior Monks in Shaolin Temple, headed by Zhi Jian, are famous and very popular among the Tang army. After all, monks who understand Buddhism and can fight are the most popular among these rough people, and they wish they could fight with me, Buddha.
The monks are still waiting to go back together to receive the reward. They have been idle these days, hanging out with the soldiers, wrestling and fighting fiercely all day long. They are having fun. Now An Zhongjing has joined in.
Li Yan didn't take it seriously. Whether it was strength or Qi, actual combat was very important. It was a good thing for An Zhongjing to compete with Shaolin monks.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, no one was seen. Guo Yuanzhen also frowned: "How about I go take a look?"
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly: "No, they are here."
Not long after he finished speaking, two figures appeared.
Behind An Zhongjing was a strong bald monk, Zhijian, the leader of the Thirteen Warrior Monks.
When the two of them walked up to him, their expressions were a little unnatural.
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he probably guessed their purpose. Guo Yuanzhen asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
An Zhongjing hesitated: "Liu Lang, these monks also want to learn, so I will bring him to ask."
Zhijian hurriedly clasped his hands together: "We are very curious about Zhenqi, and I hope Li Ge can give me some advice..."
Li Yan said: "You don't have to be nervous, I'm just happy about this. The more people try, the greater the room for progress. When everyone adds fuel, the flames are high, and it's just a good time to brainstorm."
An Zhongjing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just like Liu Rengui was unwilling to owe favors or learn from him at first, teaching Kung Fu was always considered a very personal matter. Although he had heard from Li Yan, he hoped to give more people the opportunity to learn the basics.
It is an internal skill, but I still subconsciously feel that it should not be spread externally.
Zhijian felt even more like he had been granted amnesty. After contacting him, he realized that this person was not as condescending and extremely strict as other senior officials. In addition, he was obsessed with martial arts and couldn't help his curiosity, so he couldn't help but come here.
It's a great opportunity to get this advice!
However, Li Yan looked at the monk with a somewhat strange expression: "You have made great achievements this time, are you still going to take the path of accepting apprentices and teaching skills after you return?"
The Shaolin Temple in this era was also a strange thing among Buddhist temples. There were no eminent monks to open altars, few believers offered incense, and they did not offer sacrifices to the dead. They earned income from apprenticeships and learned skills, and it was full of worldly atmosphere.
Zhijian's face turned red: "We don't have any other talents, we can only do this."
Li Yan nodded: "Being able to implement one's own ambitions is still a path. Let your brothers and sisters do it!"
Not long after, the originally empty martial arts training ground suddenly became full.
Thirteen monks including Guo Yuanzhen, An Zhongjing and Zhijian were in the first row, and more than a hundred monks stood neatly in more than a dozen rows to listen to the teachings.
Li Yan stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at this posture, his brows slightly raised.
His creation of Zhenqi was just a sudden idea when he was creating his own martial arts. Now it seems that perhaps the future martial arts path in this life will really come from himself.
Shaolin is no longer the only martial arts in the world...
Rather.
Is Yuan Fang the best martial artist in the world?
