At this time, Guo Botao pointed to the house behind him and said to the two of them: "Introduce the practice room to the two junior brothers. It was under the pressure of these two practice rooms that I reluctantly entered."
Hearing what Guo Botao said, Lu Kun and Cao Yunqi both looked at the long stone house behind him with great curiosity. There were several large chimneys above the stone house, and streams of black smoke came out of them. The air around the stone walls of the chimneys was slightly distorted.
As soon as they entered the room, they felt a heat wave hit them. The entire room was about three feet deep and quite dark. Only the stone walls on both sides revealed a few rays of light, which also allowed the air to flow in the room, making it less dull.
In the deepest part of the room is an iron wall, which has turned dark red in color. The temperature of the entire room is transmitted from this iron wall.
Senior Brother Guo pointed around and began to introduce: "This is the Fire Room. The innermost iron wall was built by several blacksmiths sent by me. There is a fire in the back to keep the temperature of the wall.
.”
"We are just at the entrance now, and it's already like the scorching sun. Most people can't stay for too long. Even me, I can only stand ten feet away from the iron wall."
"I have been standing there practicing Qigong for the past few days. My body seems to be in a raging fire. While the high temperature disintegrates my external defenses, it gradually burns into my deep muscles. Only then can I feel it and gradually feel its existence. Unfortunately, I didn't
Don't stand for too long, otherwise you will definitely gain more."
After coming in for a while, Cao Yunqi was soaked all over and his face was red, like a roasted suckling pig. While pulling the two of them out, he said: "Brother Tao, let's go out and talk. I can't stand it."
.”
After walking out, Senior Brother Guo continued: "The purpose of building this fire room should be to rely on the high temperature from the outside to let you feel the existence of deep muscles and help disciples sense it."
While talking, Guo Botao led the two of them towards the stone house opposite. This stone house looked much smaller from the outside and had no chimney. There was a staircase going down inside.
It turned out that this practice room was underground. The further the three of them went down, the lower the temperature became. After walking about five feet deep, Lu Kun discovered that this practice room was an ice cellar, surrounded by layers of huge ice bricks.
There are hundreds of pieces, with several futons placed in the middle for people to sit on.
"This is the ice cellar. It has a different function from the fire room. The fire room makes people feel passively, but this place allows you to actively resist. You sit close to the ice and feel the cold here."
Senior Brother Guo motioned for a few people to sit down and let them experience it first.
After watching the two people sit down, Senior Brother Guo explained: "If you want to maintain your body's temperature when you are still, you must make your physical body actively move and constantly contract every muscle in your body so that it can continue to generate heat."
"When you start to get tired, under the extreme stimulation of cold, it is possible to gradually mobilize deep muscle contraction. First feel its existence in the fire room, and then learn to mobilize it in the ice cellar. The two complement each other and can achieve good results."
Recalling the fight with Zhang Tianbiao just now, Senior Brother Guo said with some emotion: "To be honest, I have never seen the Great Elder take action before, and I don't know how terrifying this Vajra Art is. I just tried it with Zhang Tianbiao and found that only the first level of strength was enough."
Just getting started can increase my defense power, which is really an amazing skill."
After Brother Guo finished speaking, he saw Cao Yunqi's lazy expression and said in a deep voice: "Fat Cao, you may think it is difficult for you to practice, but think about it, if you understand the deep muscles, others will have to go through
With three layers of defense, you can be said to be the most defensive person among our disciples at that time, and your life will have an extra layer of protection."
"Recently, the forces in Lingyue City know that our faction's strength has declined in recent years, and they are ready to take action. The external missions have also begun to lose manpower. If it were not for the reputation of the Supreme Elder, these forces would have taken action long ago."
"You and I both grew up in the sect. From now on, the Iron Fist Sect will have to rely on us to support it."
After hearing Guo Botao's lesson, Cao Yunqi's face changed and he said seriously: "Brother Tao, you once saved my life. If you let me practice hard, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Guo Botao nodded and said, "Well, I'm relieved if you say that. If you want to use these two rooms, you must remember safety first."
"Senior brother, don't worry, we are measured."
Next, Guo Botao unreservedly explained his understanding of body control to the two of them. Some of the key points also made Lu Kun's eyes shine.
I thought that Senior Brother Guo's thoughts were all about cushioning and unloading the muscles. He should be thinking from the perspective of body defense.
After staying here for a while, the faces of the three people were a little pale. Cao Yunqi said: "Thank you Brother Tao for your advice. It's very inspiring to me. It seems that a big fat guy like me can really get started. It's still a bit cold here. It's not as good as us."
Let’s go out first.”
Walking outside the ice cellar, Lu Kun looked at the remaining stone houses and asked, "I wonder what the other two practice rooms are?"
Guo Botao replied: "Those two rooms were originally planned to be turned into a fire room and an ice cellar, but the headmaster and Elder Yu had other plans, so they were shelved here for the time being."
"In recent years, only Elder Zhang has been able to reach the high level of Diamond Art. Now that he is dead, Elder Yu can only build these two training rooms based on his experience to see if these are really effective."
"These two rooms are combined into one, called the Ice and Fire Room." A lean old man with thick eyebrows and small eyes came over, it was Elder Yu.
"Meet Elder Yu!"
"I met the elder."
Cao Yunqi couldn't help but ask: "Elder, why is it called the Ice and Fire Room?"
Elder Yu looked quite proud and explained: "The upper level fire room and the lower level ice cellar are just to assist you in your cultivation. When you reach the first level, senior brother and I will personally put pressure on you and help you break through.
, our internal force is one of ice and one of heat, and can directly penetrate your external muscles, which is much more powerful than ice cubes and hot iron."
At this time, Zhang Tianbiao from afar also came over to pay homage to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu looked at Zhang Tianbiao who was training his strength furiously, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Zhang Tianbiao, I know you want to feel the deep muscles through strength training, so as to increase your strength immediately after entering the first level."
"You must know that the request inside the door is for you to enter the second level as soon as possible and get the guidance of the Supreme Elder as soon as possible."
"Instead of increasing your strength immediately, you should make good use of these two training rooms in the past few days. I will come over in seven days to explain the Vajra Technique to you. If you haven't started yet, see how I deal with you."
"But elder..." Zhang Tianbiao still wanted to explain.
Elder Yu's expression changed and he scolded: "Why, you don't listen to what I say?"
"Yes!" Although he agreed, it was clear from his expression that Zhang Tianbiao was still unwilling to do so.
"You guys will try to practice the first level on your own these days. If you have any questions, ask me again in seven days. Cao Yunqi, you can inform Ouyang Yiyun later that I'm leaving first."
