Chapter 152 0151 Where Is the Real Dantian?
As the water tank burst, Chen Jue remained silent for a long time.
The hazy feelings and illusions about martial arts and national martial arts that I had built up in my youth completely collapsed the moment the water tank burst.
The so-called three strength does not have those mysterious things, it is just the human body's power generation skills and fighting skills.
But when I thought about it again, I felt that it was all so reasonable.
If those so-called martial arts masters from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China were really that powerful, they would not have allowed foreign guns and artillery to open the country. The real power will always be the hot and cold weapons on the battlefield.
The reason why those exaggerated deeds are circulated is nothing more than bragging about oneself in that circle, making ends meet and supporting the family.
Just like the previous martial arts dramas and martial arts movies that once again popularized Qigong and martial arts, the principle is very simple. It just adds a different performance filter in front of the world, making people confused at first glance.
"After reading these three kinds of energy, is there anything you want to learn?" Master Shi Zheng asked.
Chen Jue scratched his head: "That An Jin is very interesting! Can you teach me?"
"There is nothing wrong with you! I will teach you tomorrow after I bow down to my master and receive my ordination."
"Today's young people attach too much importance to worldly interests, and there are fewer people willing to learn these things. If we don't teach them, they will soon be lost." Old Taoist Master Shi Zheng smiled happily.
The demonstration just now consumed him a lot, and when the water tank broke, water splashed all over him. After chatting with Zhiqing and Zhao Jianguo for a few words, the old Taoist went back to the house to rest.
As for Taoist Master Zhiqing, he led Chen Jue to the temple to register.
Baiyunguan is the seat of the Chinese Taoist Association, which leads Taoist sects across the country. Anyone who practices Taoism will visit this place in their lifetime.
The registration procedure is not troublesome, because Chen Jue just wants to be a layman practicing at home. He only needs to fill out a few forms and register a Taoist certificate on the association's APP.
By the time they finished visiting Baiyun Temple, it was already evening, Chen Jue and Zhao Jianguo went to find a hotel nearby and stayed.
"Since my master is willing to accept you as his disciple, you will study hard at Baiyun Temple in the next few days."
"My mentor knows a lot about Zhenggong like Iron Sand Palm. How much you can learn depends on your own ability." Zhao Jianguo said after finishing the meal.
"Study casually? Don't you have to pay tuition?" Chen Jue asked curiously.
"My mentor only accepts disciples based on fate. If you have good aptitude, he will know it as soon as he touches it."
"As for what use money is to a centenarian? The temple provides food, drink, shelter, and free medical care. The old man is now just retiring every day and has no need for money." Zhao Jianguo laughed. explained.
"So that's it!"
"I thought it would also test moral character and all this nonsense..."
Chen Jue took another look at the rosy Zhao Jianguo while holding the dish. When he thought that he knew Mr. Wu, he must have inquired about his moral issues in private.
Even the old man's granddaughter has become his girlfriend. This grandson-in-law's moral character must be very good.
…
After eating and going back to the room to rest, Chen Jue made a video call to Wu Fang who was far away in Hangzhou.
I may have to stay in the imperial capital for the next few days. As the separation lasts for a long time, I will naturally miss my new girlfriend very much.
Wu Fang was also surprised when she heard that Chen Jue had seen An Jin and Hua Jin today, because she herself practiced Chuanwu and was a Wuying-level player, so she was naturally extremely interested in such traditional things.
However, after listening to Chen Jue's description of the appearance of the cone-shaped dark energy, Wu Fang in the video suddenly realized: "Brother Jue, the dark energy you are talking about actually has this kind of force-generating technique in boxing and fighting! It’s just a manifestation of the restraint of force when punching!”
After speaking, Wu Fang also posted a demonstration comparison of hitting a sandbag, and the demonstrator was the famous Bruce Lee and his disciple Ted Huang.
Ted Huang used boxing gloves to hit the 80kg sandbag. Although the sandbag vibrated, the surface dent was not obvious.
But when Bruce Lee hits the sandbag with his bare hands, he can leave a cone-shaped dent on the surface of the sandbag, making the sandbag fly up in the air with a folding feel.
"No wonder Taoist Master Shi Zheng said An Jin is the strength of the muscles and bones!"
"After wearing the gloves, the fist bones cannot touch the sandbag when hitting, and there is a layer of gloves in the middle, so a similar restraining effect cannot be achieved." Chen Jue also looked thoughtful after watching the video.
…
After chatting on the phone with Wu Fang until around 10 o'clock, Chen Jue went to bed. When it was still dark when he got up early the next morning, Chen Jue was dragged to the training platform in the backyard of Baiyunguan by Zhao Jianguo.
I saw that the altar was filled with furnishings for various Taoist rituals. Yesterday, Taoist Master Shi Zheng, who was still wearing simple Taoist clothes, changed his outfit today, wearing an ancient high hat and bright Taoist costumes.
Chen Jue couldn't explain why, so he stepped forward to pay his respects and stood quietly in front of the altar table.
In addition to the two Taoist priests Shi Zheng and Zhiqing, there were several strange Taoist priests on the altar, some old and some young. The youngest one looked to be in his forties.
The two veteran Taoists at the head looked at Chen Jue with curiosity after seeing him appear, and whispered in Shi Zheng's ear: "Senior brother, are you really just entering the house so casually?"
"Just as a layman at home, just leave some folk incense for the disciples!"
Master Shizheng shook off the dust in his hands, lit candles and lit incense, and began the formal ceremony of accepting disciples and being ordained.
I saw him speaking plausibly and reciting a poem written by Longmen Hundreds of Characters: "Morality is profound and quiet, truth is always subject to the great purity, one sun comes to restore the original, and the combined teachings will always be enlightened..."
When the sun rises, he shouts again: "The auspicious time has come! Give the Immortal Ring!"
After saying that, he patted Chen Jue's shoulders and forehead three times, and then drove away all the people on the platform with a wave of his hand.
Chen Jue couldn't figure out the situation, so he followed Shi Zheng's beckoning signal and heard a spoken scripture:
"Zu Shou is born with great talent, and he must be diligent in learning Taoism.
Two immortals came to ask for help. Bamboo and pine were matched with Kanli.
After refining the medicine and treasure, he went up to the top of Kunlun.
If you abide by the Turtle and Snake Technique, you will become a monk. "
"This is the secret formula of the secret sect left by the ancestor, Chen Jue, you must remember it! Originally, there was a sentence added by later generations [transcendence to the holy realm, Wuwei Li Sanqing], which was used to gain seniority."
"But you're not a monk, you're just here to learn your skills, so your seniority doesn't matter. We in the Longmen Dark Sect don't value formality, we just let everything happen."
"If you must give yourself a Taoist title, I will pick the character [心] for you as a master. From now on, when you meet other fellow disciples, just call yourself Xinjue layman."
Chen Jue was slightly stunned after hearing this, and murmured: "Longmen Dark Sect... Xinjue layman... Xinjue, this title is really well chosen."
Then, seeing Master Shi Zheng sitting on the futon on the altar, looking at him with a smile on his face, Chen Jue went up and bowed and shouted: "Xinjue pays homage to Master!"
"It is a great kindness to be able to accept such a good disciple at the age of a hundred!" Master Shizheng nodded with satisfaction, and then called several Taoists from a distance over.
"These two are your two senior uncles, Shiye and Shiya. Apart from Zhiqing, you know the rest. Zhidan, Zhiguan, and Zhien are all senior brothers in your secret sect." Master Shizheng introduced to everyone. After a while.
Chen Jue also greeted these classmates one by one, took out his mobile phone and added the WeChat messages of several middle-aged senior brothers.
Most of today's Taoist priests and monks keep pace with the times. They even have master's and doctoral degrees. Some fashionable ones have become video bloggers and Internet celebrity Taoist priests on the Internet. It is normal to use a smartphone. But that's it.
…
After the apprenticeship ceremony, it was already bright.
Everyone went to the canteen of Baiyunguan to eat vegetarian food. Taoist priests in Quanzhen Longmen are required to abide by the precepts and rules. Unlike Zhengyi, they can eat meat and drink at will. They can also eat meat, eggs and milk to supplement their nutrition, but they cannot eat too much fish or meat. .
Chen Jue has just started, and he is a householder, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
After eating, and getting acquainted with several senior uncles and senior brothers, Chen Jue followed Shi Zheng Lao Dao to the backyard.
"Disciple Xinjue, yesterday you said you wanted to learn An Jin, so today I will teach you this method of transporting Jin."
"This is the key to inner alchemy practice. After you learn it well and practice other positive skills, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
After speaking, Master Shizheng drew a pattern similar to the word "well" on the snow with his foot, but he stepped on it a little bit in the middle of the word "well".
"Do you know what this word is?" Shi Zheng asked.
Chen Jue shook his head. As a college graduate, he really didn't know much about such rare words.
"This is the word [Dan] in Oracle Bone Inscriptions!"
"If you want to learn An Jin, which is the Dan Jin of our Longmen Sect, you have to understand that it comes from the Dantian."
"Do you know where Dantian is?" Shi Zheng asked again.
"Dantian?"
"In Chinese medicine, it is said that Guanyuan point, Yinjiao point, Qihai point, and Shimen point are all located under the belly button." Chen Jue remembered the knowledge he had learned in the previous Chinese medicine meridian class and answered directly.
"No!"
"The Chunyang inner elixir that I cultivated at Quanzhen Longmen has only one real elixir, and that is where the Great Emperor Zhenwu of the North is." Master Shizheng shook his head again, and added a few words to the weird [Elixir] word on the snow with his foot. Pen.
A vivid tortoise pattern appeared!
But this tortoise is a little different. There is a pill in the middle of the turtle shell, and the tail is not like a tail but like a small snake.
"Whether it's Emperor Zhenwu or True God Xuanwu, the turtle and snake are its symbols."
"It is not a legend that the great Taoists of all ages have been able to learn how to practice from turtles and snakes, but because it does exist in the corresponding structure of the human body."
"You see, the snake's tail corresponds to the human root bone, which grows from the base to the perineum of the human body. When the turtle head looks north, it is the place two fingers above the navel. This is the real Dantian. According to Chinese medicine It’s called Shangqu point here.”
"This point is also called the blood gate. It connects the blood of the five internal organs and is responsible for detoxification and blood nourishing. When martial arts practitioners practice martial arts, they pay attention to the movement of Qi to the Dantian or the sinking of Qi to the Dantian. Instead of sinking down, they lift up the chest after inhaling. On the back, lung qi is pressed against the blood gate. Cultivating this point for a long time can recharge energy, enhance physical strength, and harmonize yin and yang."
After saying that, Master Shizheng wiped away the tortoise pattern on the ground with his foot, then turned back to look at the confused Chen Juehan and said with a smile: "That's all! No matter how much you say, it's better to practice it again. I feel like a disciple, Just keep an eye on it!"
The veteran stretched out his hand and pressed a spot above Chen Jue's belly button. The next second, Chen Jue felt an electric current-like stimulation coming through his clothes, which was as soft and numb as the previous stimulation of Changqiang point when touching the bones.
But after this stimulation, Chen Jue felt hot and dry in his lower abdomen, as if there was a fire burning in his belly. His body went into a state of excitement as if he had done a warm-up exercise + nitrogen pump!
The panel also popped up a new prompt at this time:
——————
【Ding~】
[Your body is stimulated by special external forces, and the vagus nerve in your body enters a state of stress. Adrenaline hormone secretion accelerates, your heart rate accelerates, your body's blood circulation and metabolic functions are greatly enhanced, and your muscles and fascia contract abnormally. 】
[Temporary strength attribute +0.25]
PS: The Dragon Gate Sect does have a dark sect, but I made up a lot of things.
And don’t commit suicide by tapping the Shangqu point. The most serious case will be dead in May, the least serious case will be dead in October. Anyway, there is only one way to die (face covering)
