MTL - Cultivating From Obtaining Experience-Chapter 37 Hearing Chan Wu for the first time

  Chapter 37 First Hearing about Zen and Martial Arts

  First of all, he practiced Tai Chi, learned the most basic footwork, practiced Tai Chi in the water, exercised the strength of the whole body, especially the legs, and became proficient in the technique of exerting force in the process of walking bricks.

  In the process of sparring with wild boars, he got actual combat training. The most important thing is to practice Wu Qinxi, so that his physique has been comprehensively improved.

  Some of his practice methods can be copied, but some cannot.

   "I practiced Tai Chi for a short period of time in the water of the swimming pool, and I also practiced brick walking." Wang An thought for a while, and said two methods that others can also try.

   "I can understand practicing in water, but what is brick walking?" Hong An asked curiously.

   "Do you have bricks here?"

   "Yes, please wait a moment."

   After a while, Hong An found a stack of bricks.

  Wang An stood up the bricks, lined them up in a row, with the short sides facing down, and was more than 20 centimeters high. He jumped slightly, landed on the turning head, and then walked on the bricks.

  Light body, agile movements,

   Not one of the standing bricks fell down.

  Hongan and Li Xinzhu's eyes lit up when they saw this, and even the abbot beside him stroked his beard and nodded silently.

   "This is the way to practice lightness kung fu, you actually managed it?" Hong An exclaimed in admiration.

   "It's not a success, it's hard to say whether it can be practiced lightly, but it can make people more flexible and control the body, especially the strength of the legs and feet more precisely.

   Practicing plum blossom piles, and Faxing Temple’s practice of carrying buckets are also similar. You should have some experience with this, right? "

   "I'll give it a try."

  Li Xinzhu raised his steps and turned his head. He did not use the right force, and his center of gravity was unstable. The brick tilted, his body swayed, and he fell from the top, almost falling.

   "Hiss, this is still a bit difficult!"

   "You have to proceed step by step, there is no rush." ​​Wang Andao.

   When talking about Kung Fu, Monk Hong'an became more serious and professional, with his own opinions.

  The years of practicing martial arts in Faxing Temple were not in vain.

   "Does Faxing Temple really have the "Yi Jin Jing" and the 72 stunts?" Li Xinzhu asked curiously.

   "Who are you?" Hong An gave him a blank look.

   "Hey, you monk!"

   "I also want to know this question, is it convenient for the master to tell me?" Wang An said aside.

  But anyone who has read martial arts novels or movies will basically be interested in this question.

   "Yes." Hong An nodded, "The Arhat Boxing and Wei Tuo Palm I practice are among the 72 stunts. It's just not as exaggerated as in novels and movies."

   "Could it be because you didn't practice well enough?" Li Xinzhu interjected.

   "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak!"

   "There are still some kung fu that are strictly controlled, and ordinary monks can't get in touch. As for the famous "Yi Jin Jing", I have never been in touch.

  Kung Fu practice is to pick people. "

   "What about the "Yi Jin Jing" published in reality?"

  Hongan smiled, "That's not the original version. If you practice according to it, you should be able to strengthen your body. After all, you can stretch your muscles and bones."

   They chatted and chatted, and the sky darkened.

  Abbot Zen Master specially arranged someone to prepare a fast meal for the two of them, and asked Hong An to entertain them well.

  The fast food in Songlin Temple was delicious, Wang An ate deliciously, and Hong An was shocked by his appetite.

  He knows that people who practice martial arts have a lot of hair, and he has seen edible ones, but this is the first time he has seen so much by one person.

   After eating, it was already dark.

  Wang An and Hong An exchanged contact information, and then left the mountain.

   "Are you really going to the swimming pool to practice Tai Chi?" In the car, Li Xinzhu continued to ask Wang An about his practice.

"Um."

   "Why didn't you tell me?"

   "You didn't ask, did you?"

   "Where did you learn the practice method?"

   “TV, movies, and books, that’s what I mean by innovation and divergent thinking.”

   "It makes sense." Li Xinzhu nodded.

   "What swimming pool, how much is it a month?" He has already started to think about taking time to practice Xingyi in the swimming pool in the future.

  It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when Wang An returned to his residence from the foot of the mountain.

  After practicing squats and push-ups, he began to practice "King Kong beat the table" in the yard.

  He tried his best to forget Taijiquan, so he used palm after palm according to the map recorded in ancient books.

  The same force is generated from the feet, but this set of palms is more vigorous and straight. It has a taste of "one force and ten meetings".

  He practiced like this, trying his best to gather the strength of his body into his palms, and slapped the air one after another.

   Practice for a while, stop and think carefully, and then continue to practice.

   "You made three hundred and sixty-five palms. It seems that you have realized something. You might as well keep going."

   "Hey, today's reminder has changed a little bit, if you continue to stick to it, then continue practicing tomorrow."

  Before going to bed at night, I read the "Vajra Zen" again, and at the same time read the "Illustration of Meridians and Acupuncture Points of the Human Body".

  That night he had a dream. He dreamed that he was going to practice kung fu on the mountain. Sometimes it was Taijiquan, where the wind and water were blowing, and sometimes it was Vajra Zen Palm, which smashed a rock with one palm.

   When I woke up, I was still lying on the bed, and a new day started again.

   After eating, I went to the medical hall.

  Zhao Zhiyuan first briefly explained some of the knowledge he had talked about yesterday, and then began to explain new knowledge.

  The focus is on explaining the meridians and acupoints of the human body and the functions they play.

  At Wang An's request this time, he focused on explaining some acupuncture points and meridians related to the waist. Regular massage can relieve some back pain.

  During the process of explaining, Zhao Zhiyuan pressed on Wang An's body from time to time to help him understand the locations of meridians and acupoints and deepen his impression.

   "Dr. Zhao, which meridian is the heart meridian specifically, is this one?" Wang An pointed to a meridian marked on the model.

  "The heart meridian in Chinese medicine is the pulse condition of the main heart whether it is normal or not, not a single meridian.

   This one is the Heart Sutra. The Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, one of the twelve meridians, starts from the heart, the first point is Jiquan, and the last point is Shaochong, with 9 points on the left and right.

   Passes down through the diaphragm and connects to the small intestine. Its branches are separated from the heart system, carry the esophagus upward, and connect to the eye system;

  The one going straight comes out from the heart system, goes back upwards, passes through the lungs, and goes down to the Jiquan point in the armpit, along the inner rear edge of the upper limb,

  Pass through the middle of the elbow, pass through the sharp bone end of the back of the palm, enter the middle of the palm, go along the Shaochong point on the radial side of the little finger, and intersect with the Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian of the hand.”

  Zhao Zhiyuan pointed to the markings on the mannequin and explained in detail.

   "Dr. Zhao, is it possible to hit this location and cause myocardial infarction?" Wang An pointed to a location below the heart.

   This position is where he heard that two people were injured by "Jie Mai Quan".
