Chapter 41: Cultivation

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/

The next day, early morning, dawn broke out, and at five o'clock, the sky had just begun to clear up. Zhou Shaojin finished washing up and said to his brother Zhou Wenxuan, put on a sportswear and walked out of the house. It was still early and the village was quiet.

An hour later, Zhou Shaojin climbed to the top of Luoyang Mountain behind his home. This is the highest peak around Songzhu Village. It is located in the west of the village. It falls from here whenever the sun sets. This is also the origin of the name of Luoyang Mountain. The mountain where the sunset falls, the peak is very high, and it is more than 300 meters high from the village. The top of the mountain is an oval vegetation-free flat land with a diameter of nearly 100 meters.

Zhou Shaojin stood on the top of the mountain and looked around. It was open. Xiku Village, which was originally blocked by the mountain peaks, and several other villages such as the Kexi Village. Looking down, the entire Songzhu Village is at the foot of the mountain, and a layer of white morning mist above the village. Standing on the top of the mountain, it looks like the entire village is shrouded in the morning mist, with green mountains and clear waters, like peach land.

On the east mountain, the rays of light are brilliant. Before the sun comes out, the morning glow has been rendered. Standing on the top of the mountain, facing the morning breeze, taking a deep breath, I feel refreshed.

"It's time." Taking a deep breath, adjusting his breath, Zhou Shaojin took a starting move and began to prepare for practice.

In the foundation-building stage, refining essence into qi, the most important thing in this stage is to temper one's own body and lay the foundation for future practice. Only when the body is strong enough can one be qualified to enter a higher level of practice. Not to mention the other, just talk about the qi refining realm. This realm requires the opening of the qi sea in the body. If there is no strong enough body as the foundation, it is impossible to open up the qi sea at all. Even if the qi sea is opened, if the body does not experience the violent true qi tank body at that time, it will explode and die directly.

Moreover, the path of cultivation, overall, can also be said to be a process of continuous transformation and strengthening of the body. As the cultivation level improves, one's own body will gradually transform and become stronger. However, for a monk, in addition to the body, his soul will also slowly transform with the cultivation level and become stronger as his body becomes stronger.

If the world is compared to the sea of ​​suffering in the world, then what the monks pursue is transcendence. In this process of transcendence, the body is like a boat and the soul is like a lighthouse. Only when the body and soul continue to transform and become stronger can they transcend the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore.

With a light "bang", Zhou Shaojin knelt on his knees, then his whole body bent back, his head against the ground, and his butt pressed on his legs. The whole process was flowing, and it was not difficult for Zhou Shaojin, and his thighs and other grounds on his body were not at all uncomfortable. After the transformation of the traceability pill, Zhou Shaojin found that his body's flexibility had also been greatly enhanced.

If it were before, although such an action could be done, it would never be so easy, and his thighs would be so tight that they hurt. However, for him, this action is effortless.

There are two main parts of the practice method in the Foundation Establishment Chapter. One part is the body refining method, and the other part is the luck method. The body refining method is divided into two parts. The first part is eighty-one movements, which is very similar to practicing yoga. However, the above movements are much more difficult than yoga. The main function of these eighty-one movements is to exercise the flexibility of the body and the tendons, veins, roots and bones. The second part of the body refining method is a set of physical techniques, which not only includes boxing, palms, fingering, legs, and even any part of the body can be regarded as an attack point, with a total of eighty-one moves.

The eighty-one of the previous actions are considered to be auxiliary to the subsequent physical practice. Before you have nothing to do, do these eighty-one actions first.

Kneel on the ground with your knees, turn your body back, and put your head on the ground. This is the first move. Next, support your hands from the back of your head, and slowly stand up with your feet in front, and use your limbs to support your body from the ground.

"Ba...ba...ba..."

Just like a bean, at this moment, as the limbs slowly support the body, the hands, feet and the bones on the waist crackled, and Zhou Shaojin's face also showed redness. The first movement was fine, but the second movement was not very relaxed. It had a great demand for limbs and waist strength, and it also tested the flexibility of the body!

Then, Zhou Shaojin's left hand and right foot left off the ground, and only supported the ground with his right hand and left foot, making his whole body a curved arch!

Eighty-one movements are more difficult than the other.

In the fifth action, Zhou Shaojin felt the strain and sweat on his forehead; in the tenth action, Zhou Shaojin's breathing became heavy; in the twentyth action, Zhou Shaojin's face turned red... In the fortyth action, Zhou Shaojin was already wet and his hair was wet. At this time, the sun rose to the east mountain, and the sun was falling on the top of Luoyang Mountain, which also coated Zhou Shaojin with a layer of rays of rays!

"Damn it!"

In the fifty-seventh movement, Zhou Shaojin's teeth clattered and his face turned red. Although he had long guessed that eighty-one movements were definitely not so easy to complete, he realized how difficult it was to do it at this moment. It was only after the fifty-seventh movement that he felt like he was about to collapse. He felt like the whole beans in his body were about to break. In fact, since the thirty-two movements, he felt that he could not bear it anymore and had been gritting his teeth until now.

At this moment, Zhou Shaojin even had an impulse to stop and rest directly. However, the worst thing is that according to the information in the Foundation Establishment Chapter, these eighty-one movements must be completed one movement and one movement in a coherent manner. The time can be extended, but in this process, no action cannot be destroyed, otherwise you can only do it again.

In other words, now that Zhou Shaojin has achieved the fifty-seventh movement, he can rest, but he must maintain this movement posture, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted and he will do it again.

Zhou Shaojin gritted his teeth, his face turned red, and his body was trembling slightly. Each of these movements was extremely difficult. Even if he kept this movement, it was very difficult, let alone keep this movement resting.

“Fifty-eight…fifty-nine…sixty…”

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Shaojin continued to do the following movements with difficulty. The process was so painful that it was unimaginable. He felt that the bones in his body seemed to be about to break, which was not much easier than when he swallowed the tracer elixir. Until now, Zhou Shaojin completely gritted his teeth and persevered with his perseverance. Fortunately, his perseverance has always been very strong, and after the last tracer elixir cleaning and marrow cutting, he felt that his perseverance and nerves were stronger.

"Sixty-three...sixty-four...sixty-five...seventy-two..."

Zhou Shaojin's body changed shapes with his movements, and the bones in his body continued to crackle with his movements. By the seventy-seventh movement, his face turned a little purple, which was scary.

"Seventy-eight!"

Zhou Shaojin gritted his teeth, and blood oozed out of his gums. This layer of pain was so unimaginable, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Heaven moves hard, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. Zhou Shaojin never thinks he is a gentleman, but he knows one thing well that if you want someone to be unable to do anything, you must first endure what others cannot do!

"Eighty-one!...Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!"

As the last action was completed, at this moment, Zhou Shaojin only felt that the bones in his body seemed to have been shifted, and they kept crackling.

According to the practice method in "Basic Building", after completing the eighty-one movements, the next eighty-one movements will be practiced. However, at this moment, Zhou Shaojin knew that he would definitely not be able to practice the eighty-one movements today, because he knew that his physical condition had reached its limit, and he had just completed the eighty-one movements for a lot of time, nearly two hours, and in a while, it was time for him to go back.

Facing the rising sun, Zhou Shaojin sat cross-legged, without any external objects in his heart, and sat down to his luck, controlling the trace of energy in his body to move in his body. I don’t know if it was because of the excessive intensity of the movement just now or the ancient sunlight shining on the sun. At this moment, Zhou Shaojin only felt his body warm, as if he was flowing in his body by countless warm currents!

After sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, Zhou Shaojin got up and headed towards the foot of the mountain.

When he got home, my mother was cooking, but he didn't ask anything about him going to the mountain to exercise early in the morning, because when he was at home, Zhou Shaojin also had the habit of morning exercise. He used to go to the bus at the entrance of the village to run in the morning, but now it has just changed to climbing the mountain, so he didn't think much about it. Moreover, Zhou Shaojin has been very calm and independent since he was a child, so both his father, his mother and his grandfather are more at ease.
