1164. Chapter 1164 The Mysteries of Internal Strength
"Do you know what internal strength is?" Master Yuantian suddenly asked.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment: "This... internal strength is a... very powerful skill... the folk saying is that it is qigong... actually I don't know much about it..."
"Qigong?" Master Yuantian nodded slightly: "What you said is not wrong. Internal strength is indeed a kind of luck... The intelligence of human beings is immeasurable. From the time when humans were born, they have begun to study how to make themselves better.
Live longer and live more comfortably. After thousands of years of exploration, humans have finally developed a set of kung fu to strengthen the body and prolong life. This kind of kung fu is called internal strength!"
"Internal strength is formed through the practice of qi. When practicing qi, it pays attention to breathing and exhalation. Abdominal breathing method is often used. The mind is concentrated and step by step, so as to achieve the purpose of exercising the internal organs of the body. When practicing martial arts, it can improve endurance, combat effectiveness and extremely strong strength.
Self-protection effect, etc.”
"The highest state of internal strength is called 'body knowledge'. What is body knowledge? It means that people can clearly feel the flow of true energy in the body. This is a very wonderful state that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. I also spent countless hours
It took ten years to reach this state."
"There are many different mental methods for cultivating internal strength. Each sect has its own unique way of practice. However, all methods come back to the sect. After all, there is only one goal in the end, which is to cultivate the true energy! Control the true energy to move in the body.
, exercise your own organs, bones, and meridians, thereby achieving the effect of delaying aging and increasing life span.”
"How to generate true energy in the body? This requires the use of regular mental methods to meditate and exhale, to experience the breath around you with your heart, find the rules for absorbing the breath, and then slowly absorb, store, and transform it. To put it bluntly, practicing internal strength is
It is impossible to reach the sky in one step if you strive for a long time. The longer you practice, the richer the true energy in your body will be, the healthier your organs will be trained, and your life will be greatly extended."
"The inner strength and mental method of Shaolin Temple is called the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. It is a very profound inner strength and mental method. Today I will teach you the Marrow Washing Sutra, but you must swear that no matter what happens, you will not leak the Marrow Washing Sutra to anyone."
Others know!”
Master Yuantian introduced the origin of internal energy in detail, and then told Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang with a serious expression not to reveal the practice methods of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra.
Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang nodded quickly in assurance.
"Nuo, this is the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. I give you three days to memorize the contents above, and then you can practice." Master Yuantian handed a yellowed book to Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang.
On the yellowed book cover are written three small Chinese characters called "Marrow Cleansing Sutra". When you open it, you will find that there are many words written densely inside. It is completely in the nature of classical Chinese. It looks difficult and difficult to understand. It often takes a long time to understand a sentence.
These are all secondary. The main problem is that this Marrow Cleansing Sutra has dozens of pages, and each page contains hundreds of words. It is simply impossible to memorize the entire Marrow Cleansing Sutra within three days.
"Master, there are too many contents in the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. It is very difficult to write them all down. I'd better use a pen to copy one copy?" Ma Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile.
Lei Dazhuang nodded: "Yes, let's copy it again."
"No! You can't copy! You can only memorize by rote!" Master Yuan Tian said firmly.
"Master...you are trying to force others into a difficult situation..." Ma Xiaoyao's face twitched fiercely.
"What do you know!" Master Yuantian glared at Ma Xiaoyao fiercely: "I am doing this entirely for your own good! Practicing internal strength is a very boring and energy-consuming thing. The first step in practicing is to cultivate your mind.
Keep the Dharma formula firmly in your mind, and just use your brain a little while practicing. This is the so-called practice makes perfect! If you copy the Marrow Cleansing Sutra on paper, it will not only be unsafe, but also very inconvenient during practice... Okay
Okay, that's all I have to say. If you find it hard, just return the Marrow Cleansing Sutra to me and stop practicing."
"Let's memorize it and not copy it..." Seeing that Master Yuantian was about to take back the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang suddenly panicked. They had finally gotten to this point, so how could they give up?
In fact, Ma Xiaoyao had an idea. He planned to secretly copy it again after returning to his residence. Just be careful and don't let Master Yuantian discover it.
"From now on, you will live here. In three days, I will take back the Marrow Cleansing Sutra." Master Yuantian waved his hand: "You can find a place to rest by yourself."
"Ah?" Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang were dumbfounded.
"Ah what? Why don't you hurry up and memorize the Marrow Cleansing Sutra? Let me tell you, after three days, whether you have memorized the Marrow Cleansing Sutra or not, I will take back the Marrow Cleansing Sutra!" Master Yuantian said coldly.
.
Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang looked at each other, then walked to the corner of the cave obediently, sat cross-legged on the ground, spread out the Marrow Cleansing Sutra, and began to memorize it by rote.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang seemed to have returned to their school days, sitting in the classroom and reciting those troublesome classical Chinese passages...
Memorizing by rote is a very painful thing. Fortunately, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang both have good memories and can barely remember the contents of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra.
Three days flew by.
As expected, Master Yuantian did not break his promise. When the three days were up, he took the Marrow Cleansing Sutra away and then looked askance at Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang: "How is it? How is the recitation going?"
"I should remember everything..." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
"I remember it too." Lei Dazhuang nodded.
"Okay, you recite a paragraph for me to listen to." Master Yuan Tian waved his hand: "Ma Xiaoyao recites it first."
Ma Xiaoyao cleared his throat and began to recite: "When I heard this, the Buddha told Subhuti that the muscle-changing skill has been completed before we can do this. After three meals have been completed, the feng shui fire has finished, and at dusk I can see the stars, and the stars are burning."
The lamp illuminates the dark room..." It took half an hour to recite the contents of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra word for word.
Master Yuantian nodded: "Although the recitation is not very coherent, there are no mistakes in recitation... It is rare to be able to recite to this level in three days..."
"It's mainly because Master taught well that the disciple was able to memorize the contents of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra within three days..." Ma Xiaoyao flattered him.
Master Yuantian waved his hand towards Lei Dazhuang: "It's your turn to recite it."
Lei Dazhuang recited it silently in his mind, and then began to recite it... His memory was worse than Ma Xiaoyao's, and it took him nearly an hour to recite it. Fortunately, there was no mistake.
"Very good! I can see that you have really worked hard these days." Master Yuantian nodded with satisfaction: "Remember, starting from today, you must recite the Marrow Cleansing Sutra twice every day and keep it firmly in your mind.
, must not forget it.”
"Disciple, please follow Master's teachings!" Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang responded in unison.
"Okay, you go back and practice while memorizing the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. If you encounter anything you don't understand, come and ask me." Master Yuan Tian said: "The main thing in practicing the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is the word 'enlightenment', and understand it with your heart.
Feel it with your heart, and as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain something."
"Disciple noted it down." Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang nodded, then turned and left the cave.
…
After returning to his residence, Ma Xiaoyao took out a pen and paper and wrote down the contents of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra carefully.
"Brother Ma? What are you doing? Master Yuantian won't let us copy the Marrow Cleansing Sutra?" Lei Dazhuang asked in surprise.
"You are such a stupid person! We obviously can't copy, so we will copy secretly!" Ma Xiaoyao rolled his eyes: "People's memory is limited, especially when they get older, their memory will get worse. The reason why I
Writing down the contents of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra is just in case, so that even if we forget something in the future, we can remember it again."
"Brother Ma is still smart!" Lei Dazhuang praised.
In the following time, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang focused all their attention on practicing the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. What made them depressed was that the content of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra was too profound, and it was difficult for them to rack their brains.
I understand, but in the end I couldn’t hold it in anymore, so I went to ask Master Yuantian for advice.
At first, Master Yuan Tian was quite patient in helping them answer their questions, but as time went on, Master Yuan Tian got annoyed and drove Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang out of the cave: "Don't bother me anymore, I'll
I’ve never seen people as stupid as you! If you encounter something you don’t understand in the future, just go to Wuxiang and don’t bother me again!”
Master Yuantian was freed, but Abbot Wuxiang fell into a whirlpool of trouble.
Almost every day, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang would go to Abbot Wuxiang for answers. Abbot Wuxiang was simply annoyed. However, due to Master Yuantian's kindness, Abbot Wuxiang couldn't say anything. He could only be patient and answer Ma Xiaoyao.
and the question raised by Lei Dazhuang.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After a month of hard research, Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang finally understood the content of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra. With the guidance of Abbot Wuxiang beside them, it became much easier for them to practice the Marrow Cleansing Sutra.
at dusk.
Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang came to Abbot Wuxiang's residence again.
"Why are you here again?" Abbot Wuxiang felt a little headache when he saw Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang: "Don't you all understand the content of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra?"
"Abbott, we encountered another question today..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"What questions? Hurry up! I have something to do today and don't have much time to spend with you." Abbot Wuxiang waved his hand impatiently.
"Well, it's like this. When we were practicing the breathing technique with our legs crossed today, we suddenly felt that there was an air flow slowly flowing in the body... When we stopped breathing, the air flow disappeared..." Ma Xiaoyao said
Describe your situation.
"Air flow?" Abbot Wuxiang raised his eyebrows: "Do you really feel the air flow?"
Ma Xiaoyao and Lei Dazhuang nodded: "It's absolutely true, we have tried it several times."
