Long Yan sat on the steps.
I began reading the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) in a very leisurely manner.
Below the steps was the training ground, where the monks were having their morning lessons and practicing Shaolin boxing.
Seeing that Long Yan didn't have to attend classes, everyone looked on with envy.
"Little Dragon, I suspect that Senior Brother Long Yan is the abbot's illegitimate son!"
Chubby Wen stood in the last row, whispering and talking to Xiao Long.
Seeing the long-browed abbot approaching...
It was like a primary school student seeing a strict homeroom teacher and pretending to be practicing martial arts very seriously.
quickly,
Long Yan read through the Yi Jin Jing once.
There's nothing particularly profound about it.
It mainly consists of twelve drawings, each with a name:
Wei Tuo presents his pestle, plucks stars and changes constellations, lands three plates on the ground, extends claws and spreads wings, pulls down the tails of nine oxen, nine ghosts draw their horse knives, the green dragon probes with its claws, and the crouching tiger pounces on its prey...
The purpose of these actions
Of course, it's for guiding true qi!
Long Yan guessed that the difficulty of the Yi Jin Jing lay precisely in this.
The movements are easy to learn.
However, whether one can guide true qi is not easy.
Long Yan immediately began to put it into practice.
Practice these twelve movements according to the Yi Jin Jing manual.
Having practiced virginity training for ten years, he was strong and robust with a solid foundation.
Therefore, learning these routine movements basically makes them unforgettable.
You can learn it in one go!
"Weituo offers his pestle!"
When practicing the first movement,
Long Yan felt something was wrong with his body.
A warm current flowed from my shoulder down my arm to the tip of my thumb.
"No way? True Qi?"
Long Yan was somewhat incredulous. Wasn't the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) very difficult to learn?
I've only done it once, and I've already managed to draw out true energy?
Perhaps it's just my imagination.
Long Yan continued with his second move.
"Pluck the stars and change the constellations!"
Another surge of heat was generated.
The only difference is the order of execution.
This time, it started from the tip of the nose, went down the neck and arms, and finally flowed to the tip of the index finger.
Long Yan felt something was very strange!
The area where the heat flowed felt tingly and numb.
It was as if a long-awaited rain had come after a drought, and the meridians inside the body were nourished.
Continuing with the third action,
"All three plates have been placed!"
A third surge of heat is generated within the body.
It begins at the corner of the eye, flows through the cheek, neck, chest, abdomen, and thighs, and finally flows into the toes.
……
that's it,
Long Yan practiced all twelve movements once.
A total of twelve heat currents were generated on his body.
Moreover, the flow order is different!
"Is it really true qi?"
Long Yan carefully reviewed the Yi Jin Jing and its annotations once more.
It dawned on me.
True Qi originates from the meridians!
The twelve postures of Yi Jin Jing correspond perfectly to the twelve meridians of the human body!
All the meridians in the human body are divided into the "regular meridians" and the "extraordinary meridians".
There are twelve canons, known as the "Twelve Primary Canons".
There are eight extraordinary meridians, collectively known as the "Eight Extraordinary Meridians".
Practicing Yi Jin Jing can broaden the twelve meridians and guide the flow of Qi.
The most difficult hurdle in Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic)
It is through the twelve movements that one generates the sensation of Qi!
Only when one experiences the sensation of Qi can one be considered to have begun to understand the basics.
If one lacks talent, even a lifetime of hard work may not be enough to generate a sense of Qi.
"You've only practiced it once, and you've already mastered it?"
Long Yan was somewhat surprised by his own cultivation speed.
This is thanks to his physical foundation; his ten years of rigorous training as a child were not in vain.
Of course, talent and comprehension are the most important factors.
but,
Generating a sensation of Qi is merely the beginning of Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic).
To truly succeed in cultivation,
It requires continuous practice to strengthen the sense of Qi.
By continuously expanding the meridians, more vital energy can flow.
To put it another way,
The true energy that Long Yan is currently sensing is only as small as raindrops.
Only by strengthening one's true energy, making it flow like a stream, can one be considered to have achieved some success.
Long Yan figured out some of the tricks of the trade.
Continue practicing the twelve movements of the Yi Jin Jing.
Guide the vital energy to cleanse the meridians.
……
At this time,
The monks had just finished their morning prayers and were dispersing to eat their breakfast.
Uncle Da was going to invite Long Yan to dinner.
However, he was stopped by the Long-Browed Master.
"Don't disturb Long Yan, he's currently focusing on his studies."
Master Long Eyebrows felt that Long Yan had entered a state of selflessness, which he called meditation!
Shaolin Kung Fu: Entering Zen through martial arts!
"Master, Junior Brother is practicing really well. He has already performed the twelve forms of Yi Jin Jing with such fluidity at the very beginning."
Uncle Da watched Long Yan's movements with great pleasure and gave him a thumbs up.
Master Long Eyebrows was also very pleased, and at the same time asked Uncle Da:
"When you first learned the Yi Jin Jing, how long did it take you to memorize all twelve movements?"
"One month."
Uncle Da replied that although he had been lazy, his speed was still far inferior to Long Yan's.
After all, Long Yan only took less than an hour.
This gap is already too large to bridge.
"How long do you think it will take for Long Yan to develop a sense of Qi?"
Master Changmei is eagerly awaiting the answer to this question, as most people may not be able to generate a sense of Qi even after a lifetime of practice.
"It took me three years to develop a sense of Qi. With my junior brother's talent, I estimate he can do it in a year."
Based on his own cultivation experience, Uncle Da made a guess.
"A year is too long. I guess Long Yan can master the Yi Jin Jing in a month."
Master Long Eyebrows had great confidence in his beloved disciple.
"Master, a month is almost impossible. Your expectations are too high and will put pressure on your junior brother."
Uncle Da was like a father disciplining his child, not wanting Long Yan to become a martial arts fanatic.
