The number of words on the health-preserving skills is much less than Su Xiaofan imagined.
Except for the exercises written on the first page of the three pages, the second and third pages are all meridians diagrams.
The meridians were drawn in such detail that Su Xiaofan didn't know how the ancients could draw such precise meridians of the human body without the assistance of modern instruments.
According to Jing Shizhen's request, Su Xiaofan needed to memorize the exercises thoroughly first.
There are only a few hundred words of exercises, which are really not difficult for Su Xiaofan.
Although many of the words and phrases in it were obscure and difficult to understand, and they were all in traditional Chinese characters, Su Xiaofan basically understood them.
In other words, it took about half a month and an hour for Su Xiaofan to memorize the entire exercise.
Of course, understanding is out of the question.
Because there are many differences between ancient proverbs and modern languages, one word in ancient proverbs can often express the meaning of a sentence, so Jing Shizhen needs to explain it to Su Xiaofan.
"If you want to practice Qigong, you must first feel the existence of Qi."
Jing Shizhen took out two futons, asked Su Xiaofan to sit cross-legged on them, and sat opposite Su Xiaofan.
"Qi will appear in this location."
Jing Shizhen tapped the four fingers below Su Xiaofan's navel with her hand and said: "This is called Dantian, also called Guanyuan point. Qi gathers here and travels through the meridians throughout the body. Now I will tell you the specific route of Qi...
"
The inner qi starts from Dantian, passes through the perineum, passes through the anus, along the spine and Du meridian, leads to Taillu, Jiaji and Yuzhen, to the Niwan on the top of the head, and then goes down through the ears and cheeks, to the tip of the tongue, and connects with Ren meridian
Take it and return it to the Dantian along the middle of the chest and abdomen.
Because of its relatively small scope and few meridians, this qi-moving route is called the Little Zhoutian.
It takes six hours to run a small week, which is twelve hours.
The Great Zhoutian is based on the Small Zhoutian. In addition to the two meridians of Ren and Du, plus the eight extra meridians of the limbs, if you can walk completely, it is called the Great Zhoutian..."
"Uncle Jing, please speak slowly, this... I can't remember."
As a top student, Su Xiaofan felt frustrated in front of his studies for the first time.
The meridians of the human body are really too complicated. Just the densely packed words on the meridian diagram dazzled Su Xiaofan.
As for the meridians that Jing Shizhen talked about moving qi, Su Xiaofan had no idea at all, let alone memorizing the meridians and acupuncture points along the way.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a general explanation first to give you an idea."
Jing Shizhen said with a smile: "I memorized this meridian diagram for a whole year before I could memorize it completely. How can it be so easy for you to remember it just once?
I can't give you the exercises, but I have a copy of the meridian diagram. You can refer to the exercises to cultivate your inner energy in the future. When you can walk for a small week, magic power will be produced in your body.
Then I will teach you the art of observing qi, as well as some other techniques that must be driven by mana..."
"Master, how long will it take for me to cultivate my inner energy?"
Su Xiaofan scratched his head and asked.
"It took me half a year to generate internal energy in my body..."
Jing Shizhen thought for a while and said: "To generate inner qi, you also need to drive the inner qi to circulate around the sky. Most of the people's meridians are blocked, so you need to be lucky to punch the acupuncture points. It will not be so smooth at the beginning.
There is a certain truth to practicing cultivation since childhood, because the meridians at that time were relatively smooth.
However, it is difficult for children to understand the exercises, and it is easy for children to make mistakes. If they are not careful, their meridians may be cut off, which is not worth the gain.
Therefore, the best age to practice Qigong is after the age of sixteen, and you are only twenty years old now, so it is not too late."
"Master, how long did it take for me to get through Little Zhoutian after I generated my internal energy? How many days did it take you?"
Su Xiaofan continued to ask. What Jing Shizhen showed him was an area that Su Xiaofan didn't understand at all.
This field is very unfamiliar. Su Xiaofan cannot use the knowledge he has learned before to understand it. When he encounters problems that he does not understand, he can only ask questions.
"It depends on your specific qualifications."
Jing Shizhen shook his head and said: "I can't guarantee this, everyone needs different time.
It took me one year to clear the Little Zhoutian, and three years to clear the Great Zhoutian. Don't compare with me, I was a genius of that era!"
"It takes a genius a year to get through Little Zhoutian."
Seeing Jing Shizhen's complacent look, Su Xiaofan nodded secretly and wrote down the time.
"Xiao Fan, our technique is easy to get started with but difficult to master. You need to feel it first."
Jing Shizhen stood up and said: "Don't practice rashly first, take a closer look at the routes of the meridians, and then refer to the exercises and try to feel the qi in the body."
Walking to the side of the chair, Jing Shizhen lit a stick of incense and said, "This is real century-old agarwood, which will help you calm down and concentrate.
Remember, empty your mind, bring all your thoughts into unity, inhale and sink into the Guanyuan point, which means the Qi sinks into the Dantian, and visualize this breath in the body..."
Jing Shizhen's voice was very soothing, and Su Xiaofan, who was a little anxious at first, slowly calmed down.
Following Jing Shizhen's voice, Su Xiaofan tried hard to find the feeling.
Maybe it's the stick of agarwood, but more likely it's because I didn't sleep well last night.
After a few minutes, Su Xiaofan felt that he really had no thoughts and no worries... He fell asleep.
"Huh? How long have I been in meditation?"
I don't know how long it took, but Su Xiaofan opened his eyes. He felt refreshed all over and his mind was very clear.
"Damn it, you slept for an hour!"
Seeing Su Xiaofan stretching, Jing Shizhen suddenly became furious.
At first, he thought that Su Xiaofan had entered a state of trance, and he continued to use words to guide him, hoping to make Su Xiaofan aware of the energy in his Dantian.
But about ten minutes later, Jing Shizhen heard a strange noise and looked around to see that it was Su Xiaofan snoring.
"My stick of agarwood is in vain."
The stick of agarwood that Jing Shizhen lit was worth a lot of money. He spent more than three million yuan to collect century-old agarwood, and he only made more than ten sticks of incense sticks. The one just now was worth hundreds of thousands.
"Master, how about you light another stick of incense and I try again?"
Su Xiaofan felt that he was in particularly good condition right now. Maybe if he tried again, he could penetrate the soul with one shot and successfully sense the inner energy.
"Forget it, let me inject internal energy into your Dantian and take you to explore the surrounding meridians. You can write down this feeling!"
Jing Shizhen shook his head. A stick of incense costs hundreds of thousands. What's more important is that it is difficult to receive century-old agarwood. Jing Shizhen doesn't want to waste it.
"Master, can I borrow your inner energy to directly move Little Zhou Tian?"
Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up, "It is written in the book that master's guidance through this method can help disciples get twice the result with half the effort!"
"Shit, who wrote this? You go back and send him the blade!"
Jing Shizhen's eyes widened in anger, "Taking you around Little Zhoutian is equivalent to opening up all your meridians. Don't talk about me, no one in the world can do it!"
The theory of meridians of the human body is only inherited in China. The West has always been biased against the theory of meridians, believing that the method of meridians is imaginary and does not exist at all.
Even in China, the theory of meridians is so profound and mysterious that it is difficult for beginners to understand it.
Therefore, when practicing internal exercises, if you are not careful, your meridians will be blocked, resulting in blocked air flow and body function problems, which is the so-called obsession.
I have been cultivating my Qi for fifty or sixty years, and if I can release my internal Qi to the outside, this level of cultivation is already the highest level.
But it was impossible for Jing Shizhen to help Su Xiaofan open up his meridians. If he could make Su Xiaofan feel the energy of Qi, he would already be regarded as an outstanding person.
"You kid, stop talking nonsense and don't think too wildly."
Jing Shizhen said with a serious face: "I will only do it once. Feel it with your heart. If you miss the opportunity, don't blame me, Master!"
"Yes, Master, I will do my best!"
Su Xiaofan also put away the smile on his face and placed the health-preserving meridian diagram in front of him.
"In this position, do you feel the presence of Qi?"
Jing Shizhen put her right hand on Su Xiaofan's lower abdomen and said, "Take a deep breath, then hold your breath and feel it with your heart!"
"Master, there seems to be a heat, like a little mouse."
Su Xiaofan felt that Jing Shizhen's palm was like a coal of fire, but it was not hot. After touching his skin, a ball of hot air suddenly appeared in his body below his navel.
This heat was not quiet, but rushed from left to right, making Su Xiaofan's lower abdomen feel hot.
"Don't think too much, use your heart to guide the heat and let it travel along the meridians!" Jing Shizhen shouted in Su Xiaofan's ear.
"Yes, Master!"
Su Xiaofan knew that the opportunity was rare, so he looked at the meridians and qi chart in front of him, imagining in his mind that the hot air would sink from the Dantian to the Huixin.
[Repair value: 106 points!]
[Xiao Zhou Tian Meridian Movement Exercise: Unrepairable!]
[The small Zhoutian Meridian can be nourished!]
[To nourish the Xiao Zhou Tian Meridian, 50 points of repair value need to be deducted. Do you want to deduct it? 】
Seeing the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, Su Xiaofan was a little confused for a moment.
It actually costs 50 repair points to nourish the Little Zhoutian Meridian. Is this a kind of repair of body functions?
"Does this count as sending myself into the pond to nourish myself?"
Su Xiaofan had such an idea in his mind.
Jing Shizhen seemed to see the dazed look on Su Xiaofan's face, and shouted quickly: "Xiaofan, what are you doing? Don't think wildly, stay calm, and let the anger go out of the Dantian!"
"Okay, Master!"
Su Xiaofan agreed, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "Nurture the Little Zhoutian Meridians!"
[Small Zhoutian Meridian: Being nourished, countdown to 23:59:59...]
"It takes twenty-four hours, huh? I...why can't I move?"
Su Xiaofan originally thought that nourishing the meridians was similar to nourishing the magic weapon and would have no impact on his own actions, but obviously he was wrong.
After issuing the instruction to cultivate, Su Xiaofan discovered that the hot air from Jing Shizhen in his dantian began to circulate in his body.
It seemed that the heat was not strong enough, and a trace of undetectable energy merged from Su Xiaofan's mind into the heat input by Uncle Jing.
And Su Xiaofan also lost control of his body. Let alone getting up, he couldn't even move his fingers at this moment.
"Fuck, it hurts so much!"
Suddenly, Su Xiaofan felt a sharp pain in his body, just like the cramp in his split legs before.
However, Su Xiaofan, who had lost control of his body, could only endure the pain because he couldn't scream even if he wanted to.
But the pain went away as quickly as it came. It took just a few seconds for the pain to disappear.
And Su Xiaofan clearly felt that the heat had been conflicting for a while, running from the bottom to the spine.
Don't ask Su Xiaofan how he knows this. He has never learned about meridians, and he also knows that behind the perineum is the chrysanthemum, and above the chrysanthemum is the spine.
Su Xiaofan felt that this ball of hot air was really like a mouse, rushing through his body.
Any blocked meridians simply don’t exist in front of the heat and are simply ignored.
From the spine, the Du meridian passes through the tail gate, Jiaji and Yuzhen, to the Niwan on the top of the head, then separates from the ears and cheeks, reaches the tip of the tongue, connects with the Ren meridian, and returns to the Dantian along the middle of the chest and abdomen.
This whole process, Su Xiaofan felt, only took three minutes at most.
Of course, these three minutes also made Su Xiaofan miserable. He felt as if his body had been cut to pieces with knives.
Su Xiaofan also sensed the small Zhoutian Meridian. Anyway, as long as it hurts, it is the right meridian.
He felt now as if he had been taken to a dance academy, and three or four big men were helping him stretch his legs and do the splits.
Not to brag, Su Xiaofan feels that now he can bend his body over, put his feet on his chin, and give you a difficult yoga action of cheek to foot.
However, amidst the pain, Su Xiaofan actually felt a sense of relief.
The heat continued to circulate in Xiao Zhoutian, and the pain seemed to be constantly weakening.
After about seven or eight minutes, the pain in Su Xiaofan's body completely disappeared, and was replaced by a feeling of relief.
"Why are you sleepy again?"
Su Xiaofan originally stared at the meridian diagram in front of him, but after the Little Zhoutian formed in his body, he felt sleepy and couldn't help but close his eyes.
"Can't sleep, mustn't sleep."
Su Xiaofan gave himself a strong psychological hint, "Well, I can't snore even when I'm sleeping. If I don't snore, I'm just practicing..."
Su Xiaofan couldn't tell whether he was asleep or not, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he could move.
[Repair value: 56 points!]
[The cultivation of Xiao Zhou Tian Meridian is completed!]
Two pieces of information appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind.
Without opening his eyes in a hurry, Su Xiaofan followed the exercises mentioned by Uncle Jing and felt them in his body.
"Have I completely gotten through Xiao Zhoutian?"
A stream of heat, following the operation of Su Xiaofan's technique, traveled smoothly in Xiao Zhoutian, and at an extremely fast speed.
Six minutes, only six minutes.
Su Xiaofan felt that the inner Qi in his body was like driving a Porsche 911, speeding all the way, directly from the Dantian to the perineum to the chest and abdomen and back to the Dantian.
After a short week, Su Xiaofan could clearly notice that the heat in his Dantian seemed to have grown slightly stronger.
"Didn't Master say that it takes six hours or twelve hours to walk a small circle?"
Su Xiaofan opened his eyes in confusion, but as soon as he opened his eyes, Su Xiaofan was startled.
Because in front of him, Uncle Jing was looking at him with a pair of red eyes.
