Chapter 6: Eating and sleeping are all Zen

"How to practice while eating and sleeping?"

Su Jie was puzzled.

"The two biggest things in life are eating and sleeping." Odeli said: "Once someone asked a Zen master, what is Zen, and the Zen master said, "Eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are sleepy." This person asked strangely, "Eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are sleepy. Why are others not Zen, but you are in Zen?'. The Zen master said, "This is because they didn't eat when they were eating and didn't sleep when they were sleeping." Do you understand the meaning of this story?"

"I didn't eat when I was eating, and I didn't sleep when I was sleeping." Su Jie chewed these two sentences, which was very philosophical. He vaguely understood in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was.

While thinking, the sound of a motorcycle came from outside the yard.

Oderli opened the gate and was the one who delivered the meal.

The big bags were all opened and put on the table. The food was extremely rich, including beef, chicken, fruit, dairy products, fish, and soup. It was obviously not ordinary takeaway, but customized dishes.

After the delivery person had arranged the food, Odeli greeted Su Jie: "Come and eat it. This is the private dish of the Nie family. It is said that the ancestor of the Nie family was a palace chef. I have come here once before and it was very delicious. It also regulates the body and nourishes vitality, which is suitable for both young and old."

Su Jie was already hungry, but his face showed a look of embarrassment, and he felt like he was eating and drinking.

Odeli seemed to see through his thoughts, "I happened to do a physical training test experiment. Are you willing to be my volunteer, you can buy food and have a salary."

"Of course I'm willing." Su Jie nodded quickly: "Just just pack it and eat it. I can don't want the salary. Can you teach me more skills?"

"Then let's have a meal first." Odeli took the chopsticks and ordered.

Westerners are used to using knife and fork for dinner. Many people have difficulty even chopsticks, especially Qiaos tried hard to use chopsticks, but they didn't do it every time. But Odeli was completely different. He was like running water when holding chopsticks, and even difficult peanuts to pick up. If you want to pick up a few, you can pick up a few.

Su Jie had been hungry and took a big bite.

Odeli quickly stopped: "Eating is the first lesson I taught you. You must chew thoroughly. Chew the food in your mouth and then swallow it slowly. Don't think about anything in your heart. Just eat with peace of mind, but don't be too nervous, with a relaxed and relaxed attitude. You must remember that eating is the most relaxed and enjoyable time in life. Grasping this time is equivalent to grasping the true meaning of life. This is what the Zen master said, eating is eating. And 99% of people are not eating when eating."

"Don't think about anything else in your mind. While focusing, enjoy and relax, and chew thoroughly." Su Jie took a biology class and knew that chewing enough can secrete more compromises, converting starch in food into maltose, reducing the digestive burden of gastrointestinal intestines. The more you chew, the more you can stimulate the cerebral cortex through the movement of facial muscles and make the brain active.

"The most important thing in eating is that if you think about other things while eating, your blood circulation will not be concentrated on the stomach and intestines. While the digestive ability is weakened, it will reduce your mental control over your taste buds. Over time, you will experience a slight anorexia. This is the beginning of species elimination in terms of evolution." Oudli said: "In my research, even professional athletes, not thinking about problems every meal is much better than thinking about problems. Don't underestimate this detail. Real physical fitness and physical fitness are so strict self-disciplined and psychologically controlled. The devil is often hidden in the details."

"The devil is hidden in the details." Hearing this sentence, Su Jie seemed to understand. After thinking, he stopped immediately and began to eat with peace of mind and enjoy the beauty of the food.

As he ate, he actually got into a state, feeling that when the food was chewing, the fragrance spreads through his mouth and becomes a little fluttering.

Then chewed the food thoroughly, swallowed it into the esophagus and stomach, and a sense of satisfaction arises naturally.

In this, he felt the gift of nature to life.

Seeing Su Jie's eating state and expression change, Ou Deli seemed to have discovered some treasure, just like a teacher saw a student with strong comprehension.

After eating this meal, Su Jie wanted to stand up habitually.

"Don't stand first. After eating, sit for a while, because your stomach and intestines are still peristaltic and digesting food. This is an inertia. If you stand up and change this inertia, it may cause the stomach and intestines to fall. But if you sit for a long time, it will cause the stomach and intestines to bloat. At this time, you have to drink a drink to help digestion." Odeli taught the details again.

"Drink?" Su Jie didn't find any juice or anything, he ate fruit on the dining table.

"The best drink is your saliva." Oudelli gently massaged his abdomen according to the rhythm of his breathing with his hands. "There are several acupoints in the abdomen, which are unique to your Chinese medicine. It is very magical. In our science, it is called the sensitive point of neuron concentration. You gently massage the acupoints of Zhongwan, Daheng, Tianshu, Qihai, and Daimai in order. While gently pressing and rubbing, saliva was secreted and swallowed. This can make the gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion more motivated. It is a small detail in your Chinese Kung Fu, and it is also a health technique. It is more in line with the principle of science. It will not stop until you feel that the pleasure of eating completely disappears, and there is no swelling in the stomach and intestines. "

Su Jie was still learning. He didn't expect that a simple meal contained so much knowledge. In his heart, he did not underestimate these details. On the contrary, he attached great importance to it and made up his mind to do it well.

After digesting it, Odeli then let him stand up and move.

When he arrived in the yard, Odeli asked Su Jie to take a slow walk around the yard. After walking for an hour, the food he had eaten was completely digested, which made Su Jie practice the move of "hoeing the head" again.

This time he gave serious instructions. He immediately went up to correct any details that were wrong. It was not until Su Jie practiced this trick stably and proficiently before he stopped.

“It’s time to take a nap.”

Seeing that Su Jie was a little tired, Odeli taught him to sleep.

There is a wing room in this yard, which is an ancient architectural format and is specially prepared for guests.

Odeli asked Su Jie to lie on the bed, trying his best to spread his head and limbs, as if he was pulled by a horse.

"What I teach you now is the combination of the ancient Indian yoga and Tantric method of extermination of life and death, called the big corpse-spreading method, but I made some improvements. You are now lying on the bed with a big word, head, feet, hands, trying your best to support yourself, imagining that you are being dismembered by five horses and five horses, in danger, you try your best to resist, but you are finally powerless and divided. At this time, you feel dead, a corpse, but in fact you are still alive. At this time, you are in peace, the appearance is a corpse, and your perception is still there. You live out your true self as a corpse. After you die once, you are still alive, and you can let go of everything. Everything is so beautiful, and everything can be let go. In this mentality, you will be at peace and relax to the limit."

Odeli's voice seemed to have some hypnotic effect. Su Jie followed his rhythm and began to lift his limbs and heads violently. Suddenly, he seemed to be dead. He fell asleep peacefully, breathing smoothly and long.

"This child is the most qualified and smart I have ever seen, and he is calm, not impulsive, and has a sense of justice. But when he got into the state so quickly, is he really a genius?" Odeli saw Su Jie who was sleeping, and the reason he liked was because of the trivial matter of buying water.

This small matter fully shows Su Jie's wisdom and sense of justice.

In the subsequent conversation, he saw Su Jie's persistence, strong will, and his ability to understand.

Even if an ordinary person teaches him, it will be difficult for him to persevere.

And during the conversation, he felt that Su Jie was a person with strong execution and planning.

"The most important thing is that there are no one in a thousand people who can enter the state for the first time. Can he actually understand how to survive in a corpse. If this continues, he may reach the mental state of forgetting life and death. This kind of mental training is not something that artificial intelligence can involve." A smile appeared on Odeli's face.

After sleeping for two hours, Su Jie naturally woke up, feeling refreshed all over. He seemed to have never felt so comfortable before. His mentality was lively, and he seemed to be able to let go of anything, satisfy everything, and was relaxed and happy all the time.

"You have to promise me something else, and don't tell me about my training for you for the time being. Take time to train secretly every day. Also, if you have the chance in the future, I hope you can play a few fighting games and then say I am your coach." Odeli made a request.

"Okay." Su Jie thought about it and nodded.

Odeli seemed to have succeeded in some kind of strategy, and he smiled on his face.

"You can understand and digest what you teach you today. Follow this training and you can benefit for life. However, learning martial arts is far from enough. In this way, you can come here to study every day when you have time. There is only one month, and in a month, I will leave here." Odeli waved his hand.

Su Jie did not continue to ask Odeli about martial arts.

Today's knowledge is enough to digest for many days.

"On July 8, I actually met Odeli, the coach of the world's top fighter. He told me that a lot of knowledge about traditional martial arts has opened up a new world for me. When practicing, I hate the world without being beaten, and the hateful spirit of not returning when fighting. What's even more amazing is that the mentality of the five horses splitting the corpse and corpse-spreading method of living out the real self in the state of a corpse. I feel that my mentality is very good, very quiet and comfortable. During training, I found the true meaning of my life. Traditional martial arts and traditional practice methods are really so magical. I don't know whether there is supernatural power, but this is definitely a baptism of the body and the mind. No wonder many people have become monks and enter the deep mountains and forests to practice."

"The fight with Jos continued tonight, and he still easily hit me. I did not make a leaps and bounds because I learned the skills of Coach Odeli. It seems that Kung Fu needs to be practiced step by step, and it is impossible to make a leaps and bounds. I will continue to practice the method of 5 horses splitting corpses when I go to bed at night. I checked online that the method of corpses is a kind of practice in Tantric Buddhism, and the coach added the meditation of 5 horses splitting corpses, which should mean stretching the tendons and bones. Another point is that even if you eat, you must have a set of massage and swallowing techniques to aid digestion. If you incorporate the details of health into every detail in your life, your physical fitness will definitely be greatly improved. The two most important things in life, eating and sleeping take up a lot of time in your life, and you must master the details."

"Su Jie, remember, details determine success or failure, you must remember it."
