Chapter 151 0150 Degenerated Tail (Part 2)

"What was that just now?"

"Some kind of massage technique?"

Chen Jue was shocked when he saw the prompts on the panel.

Because the odd ganglion of the coccyx is usually stimulated only when he is practicing Horse Stance, Zhuang Kung Fu, Gu Gu Dao, or using the force-generating technique of [Ming Jin].

But the old Taoist priest just pressed it lightly, as if his hands were filled with magical power, directly causing Chen Jue's body to enter a tense state similar to Ming Jin.

But after thinking about it, Chen Jue realized that this thing didn't seem to be that big a deal.

Just like tapping the ligaments below the knee in the "knee jerk reflex", everyone has several similar hidden switches hidden in their body, and they will also react to stress when stimulated by external forces.

At this time, Taoist Master Shi Zheng, who had just finished wiping Chen Jue's bones, explained with a smile on his face: "Master Fate, I just hit your [Changqiang point] with sword energy and tested your root. Bones. Your bones are indeed very good! You are vigorous and strong, and your luck is endless. No wonder the Jiangsu Council strongly recommends you to join our Dragon Sect. With your qualifications, there are many Jianghu sects rushing to accept you. As a disciple.”

"I know that the Changqiang point is another name for the [Weilu point] corresponding to the outermost end of the tail vertebra. It is also the starting point of the Du meridian in the human body."

"What the hell is sword energy? Isn't that something that only exists in novels?"

"As for your Tao Gengu, is it some kind of talent similar to learning martial arts?" Chen Jue asked several questions with a lot of curiosity.

Seeing that Chen Jue was confused, Taoist Master Shi Zheng was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he laughed, took a cold-proof plush cloak from Zhiqing's hand, rolled it around his body, and then led the three of them out of the side room. I walked into the small courtyard outside.

"Where to start?"

"I'm getting too old and my brain is not enough!" Master Shi Zheng walked in circles in the yard with his hands in his hands, and finally stopped in front of a big tree that had lost all its leaves.

As for Taoist Master Zhiqing who was following him, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Master, he is already 102 years old!"

"What?"

"102 years old?"

Chen Jue's eyes widened when he heard this. This old man's hair was still half black, and he looked like he was only in his 70s at most. Who would have thought that he was already a centenarian.

In addition to the old Taoist Master Zheng, Chen Jue also found that the Taoist priests Zhao Jianguo and Zhiqing beside him had a sense of déjà vu that was inconsistent with their age.

At a glance, you can tell that most people in their lineage should be well versed in the methods of nourishing Qi and extending life.

"There's something about this Longmen sect!"

"Is it possible that cultivating Taoism can really prolong life?" Chen Jue murmured to himself, remembering what he had just seen in Qiu Zu Palace.

Even Qiu Chuji, the founder of the Longmen Sect, only lived to be 79 years old according to historical records. It is indeed nothing special now, but in ancient times he was indeed considered a long-lived person.

"Pursuing the Tao depends on opportunities, and cultivating the Dharma focuses on the fundamentals."

"Look at this big tree. Its trunk is like our human spine. If you want to take root in the earth and absorb nutrients, you have to rely on the roots underneath."

"We also have a root in our bodies, which is the tail bone on our buttocks."

"Although everyone has this tail bone, everyone is different. Some people are weak and some are strong. If you want to practice the natural method of gathering yin and replenishing yang, the root bone must be strong. So our lineage is the first to start. The test is to measure the bones. In the past, those Jianghu sects used this method to recruit disciples." Old Taoist Master Shi Zheng said as he reached out and touched the old tree.

"Taking yin and replenishing yang?"

When Chen Jue heard these words of tiger and wolf, he was immediately dumbfounded. He thought to himself that this Longmen sect is also the leader of Quanzhen after all, and what he teaches is so defiant.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist Master Shi Zheng turned around and glanced at him, then reached out and patted Chen Jue's forehead: "Idiot, don't be so immoral! What the Taoist said about gathering yin and replenishing yang is not some dirty heresy. It is the essence of Taoist inner alchemy practice!"

"You know about Changqiang and Weilu, so you should have studied some traditional Chinese medicine meridians. The original intention of picking up yin and replenishing yang is to stimulate the perineum through mobilizing the root bones, regulate the missing yang energy in the human body, achieve a balance of yin and yang, regulate menstruation, strengthen the kidneys, and revive the body. The effect of yang!”

After saying this, the old Taoist priest Shi Zheng took his feet on the snow and drew the word "Cai". The writing method of the word "Cai" is different from the modern simplified Chinese characters, but is similar to the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty.

"Look at the ancient way of writing the word "pick". There is a hand on the top and a fruit tree on the bottom. Does it look like human hands picking fruits from the tree?"

"Collecting yin and replenishing yang is borrowed from the shape and meaning of the word "cai". When you first learn Taoism, your mind and qi are not reaching you, so you have to do what the experienced Taoist did just now, use your hands to stimulate your Changqiang point and then affect the Huiyin point. "

Seeing Master Zheng Lao Taoist Master explain the knowledge of this Taoist family in a serious manner, Chen Jue also looked serious: "This is what it means to collect yin and replenish yang!"

"No wonder most Taoists in ancient times also practiced medicine. If they didn't understand the structure of the human body and meridians, they really wouldn't be able to understand such methods." Chen Jue sighed inwardly.

Seeing that Chen Jue seemed to have some enlightenment, Master Shizheng paced back to a large water tank in the yard.

The bottom of the water tank is filled with various coins. It seems that tourists who come here are doing it to pray for wealth. As for the water above, it has also frozen into thin ice flakes due to the cold weather.

The old Taoist priest reached out and touched the edge of the water tank, then turned his head and looked at Chen Jue: "Do you usually read novels on the Internet?"

"I used to watch it often, but not so much recently." Chen Jue was slightly startled.

"Then you should have read that a man named Mengru Shenkun wrote a book about Chinese martial arts called "Dragon and Snake"?" Old Taoist Master Shi Zheng continued.

"I've seen it. It was quite popular when I was studying." Chen Jue nodded and picked up the conversation.

I didn’t expect that this old Taoist priest who is over a hundred years old would actually keep up with the times and even know how to read novels online!

"The book Dragon Snake was brought to me by one of my young disciples. The writing in it is indeed very exciting, but most of the content about martial arts is exaggerated and many people believe it to be true."

"Isn't it mentioned that Xingyiquan master Guo Yunshen divided Xingyiquan strength into three training methods: light, dark, and transformation in his posthumous work "The Sutra of Neng Shuo Xingyi Quan"?"

"The author of Dragon Snake later added some false content such as elixir power, gang power, and the indestructibility of seeing gods. In fact, these are all knowledge learned in our Taoist sect."

"Because Ji Ji, the ancestor of Guo Yunshen, learned martial arts from Quanzhen in Zhongnan Mountain. Quanzhen also introduced Xinyiquan to Shaolin later and turned it into Xinyiquan. Do you think it's a coincidence or not?" Master Shi Zheng smiled a little as he spoke, as if he had remembered something interesting.

"ah?"

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Jue was a little surprised when he heard it, thinking that the source was all on the Taoist side.

However, after thinking about it, it makes some sense, because Taoism is a local sect in China that has been handed down since ancient times, and the ancient alchemists, Taoist priests, and Qi practitioners were the first people to pursue spiritual practice. The theoretical source of spiritual practice should have come from Taoism. born in.

"Let's not talk about these old things. I know that young people like you all like the fighting and killing in martial arts, and the pleasures and grudges."

"Then let me first tell you what the light, darkness, and transformation energy are all about! Look at the water in this water tank, and I will demonstrate it to you." After saying this, Taoist Master Shi Zheng raised his head He patted the large water tank next to him.

Chen Jue immediately became interested when he heard it, because since he mastered the magical [Ming Jin] force-generating technique, his explosive power has improved a lot.

You must seriously learn this kind of exercise technique that is helpful for making your body stronger.

"The so-called Ming Jin is actually easy to understand. It is the force acting on the surface. Stimulating the Changqiang point can twist the whole body's strength into one force. This is probably what it will look like when it hits a person." After speaking, Shi Zheng The old Taoist stretched out his hand and patted the wall of the tank, and a wave of arc-shaped water visible to the naked eye shook from the inside of the tank.

It doesn't look like anything magical. When children knock on the wall of the tank, they also get the same kind of arcing water waves.

However, when the so-called dark power was demonstrated, Taoist Master Shi Zheng took a deep breath, and his skinny palm suddenly turned red, as if all the blood had gathered in his hand, and then the method of hitting the cylinder wall also changed. The slap turned into a peck with five fingers, and a cone-shaped water wave visible to the naked eye shot out from under the ice along the edge of the water tank.

Although it only spread a short distance, probably only a few centimeters long, Chen Jue was stunned by such a miraculous exertion!

"Excuse me! Is this the kind of power a person can exert?"

"What kind of force-generating technique is this?"

"Does such a thing as dark energy really exist?"

Chen Jue was shocked and felt that his trip to the imperial capital was not in vain.

However, after the old Taoist Master Shi Zheng demonstrated this peck, he coughed twice with some exhaustion and said: "Ahem...this is the so-called dark energy! The principle is that the force generated by the Dantian linking the muscles and bones, with the drill, The penetrating energy can hit acupuncture points and hurt people. In the early Danding lineage of our Taoist sect, it was also called Danjin. In the Fulu sect, it was called Xiantian Gangqi. In the Sword sect, it was called sword energy. In fact, they are all the same thing. It’s just that I changed it to a different version, and when it spread to the outside world, it was misrepresented.”

"Acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine also has a similar sword-needle technique, but generally silver needles are used as outer swords. Taoist medicine in Taoist sects practices inner swords, using finger bones as needles and pricking acupuncture points to heal injuries. This is not taught to outsiders. A profound method."

"Just now I pressed the Changqiang point on your tailbone using this so-called dark energy!"

Listening to the old Taoist priest's explanation and demonstration, Chen Jue also had a sudden enlightenment.

Although what the other party said involved a lot of Taoist knowledge, I had to go back and check it out to learn more.

But Chen Jue kept in mind the form of force exerted by An Jin and the phrase "the power of the Dantian combined with the muscles and bones".

Whether it is Ming Jin or Dark Jin, it is just a relatively advanced force-generating technique.

The essence of power transmission is nothing more than mechanical waves, but the vibration frequency and the form of transmission are different, so the essence of its operation can be clearly seen when it acts on the water in the tank.

"The old Taoist master has something!"

"But the Dantian links the muscles and bones to exert force. Is it the Dantian where Qi sinks?" Chen Jue muttered in his heart.

The demonstration on the old Taoist Master Shi Zheng's side has not stopped yet, but he drawled and said: "As for the last part of the energy transformation! It's probably the martial arts practitioners in the martial arts world who made it up at the end in order to deceive people. There are a lot of imaginary things in it, and the boxing scriptures written also refer to many of our Taoist inner elixir classics."

"Martial arts are originally fighting skills. They are essentially used to defend yourself and kill people. When you fight against others, you will inevitably get beaten. If you are exposed to other people's strength, you must think about how to resolve it."

After speaking, Taoist Master Shi Zheng asked Zhiqing next to him to dig out the ice in the water tank. Then he stretched out his hands and buried them in the water tank, making a whirlpool from slow to fast.

In the process of stirring up the whirlpool, the old Taoist priest raised his head and asked Chen Jue: "Did you watch the movie Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng when you were a child?"

"I've seen it!" Chen Jue nodded. The scene in front of him was very similar to the one in the movie.

"The word "Hua Jin" is actually a fighting method in Tai Chi."

"The Tai Chi fighting method emphasizes listening to the energy and transforming the energy. The simple meaning of transforming the energy is to dissolve the opponent's energy for one's own use. However, it sounds very simple in the literal sense, but it is very difficult to practice. Ordinary people can practice it. You will never be able to touch your opponent's strength in your whole life."

"You see, after the water was stirred by me, it exerted centrifugal force. This is the strength of the water, and then I melted it so gently..."

After saying that, the old Taoist slapped his hands on the inner edge of the tank wall during the stirring, and the water tank exploded with a bang.

This scene perfectly replicates the scene in Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng's movie. It looks very vivid, and it also makes Chen Jue's impression of the so-called mysterious martial arts and national martial arts circulated on the Internet instantly collapse.

This chapter picks up the foreshadowing from the previous one.

Practicing martial arts attaches great importance to the root bones, which are not the bones of the limbs, but actually the tail vertebrae of our body and its attached nerves and acupuncture points.

There are also differences among the three major races, which will be broken down in detail later.
