Chapter 17 Three Days
The young men were willing to listen, and Meng Yuan and Wu Changsheng praised him from time to time. Nie Yannian became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and brought up the initial changes in this path.
In ancient times, there were constant natural disasters and monsters causing chaos. In the repeated resistances, the human race gradually discovered the path of martial arts and gradually perfected the method of advancement.
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, 90% of the founders of dynasties, large and small, were born as warriors.
When Taoism and Confucianism flourished, Buddhism also emerged.
Each school tinkered with each other's theories and integrated them with each other. Each school came up with its own ideas and advanced methods.
However, the three religions rose and fell, prospering and declining, just like today's Qing Dynasty, which respects Confucianism, Taoism and despises Buddhism.
Warriors rely on martial arts to establish themselves, and they pay more attention to cultivating themselves. They are not like Confucians who cultivate awe-inspiring energy, nor like Taoists who cultivate all aspects of life.
Because of this, when it comes to martial arts, within the same rank, warriors are often the strongest. Once it gets close, it can even instantly kill someone of the same level in another way, or even kill someone across the level.
There are strengths, and naturally there are weaknesses. For example, some people know magic and have supernatural powers, but martial artists often can only rely on a sword to act.
Of course, most of these contrasts between the advantages and disadvantages of low-grade products. As for the scenery of high-grade products, Nie Yannian said that he did not know.
After talking about the old allusions, Nie Yannian then talked about the journey of becoming a martial artist.
There is a saying among warriors that there are three days in the upper, middle and lower heavens. There are thirty-three days in the lower heaven, thirty-three days in the middle heaven, and thirty-three days in the upper heaven.
A total of ninety-nine days are often called ninety-nine acupoints by martial artists.
Both Buddhism and Taoism also learned from Wu Fu's theory of three days of ascending, middle and descending, and derived their own theories. For example, Buddhism has the theory of three days of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and Taoism has the theory of thirty-three heavens.
The thirty-three acupoints of Xia Tian are in the skin and flesh, and their positions have been determined in advance.
There are four on each limb, sixteen on the trunk, and one on the head, for a total of thirty-three.
The middle thirty-three days are among the muscles, bones, and organs, and their distribution is the same as the lower thirty-three days.
As for the last thirty-three days, Nie Yannian did not say much about it.
By opening the acupoints, you can cultivate your true energy. True Qi is the source of a martial artist's strength, and it travels among the upper, middle and lower three days, so opening up the upper, middle and lower three days is the basis of the martial artist's path.
Even some advanced Kung Fu methods need to be based on this.
The more acupoints are opened, the flow of blood and Qi in the body will be unimpeded, the Qi will be stronger, the reaction will be faster, and the Qi will be transported more quickly.
The ninety-nine acupoints are connected like rivers. The more rivers there are and the wider they are, the more energy they can carry and the easier it is to mobilize them.
For example, a person's strength is like a big boat carried in a river. The wider the river and the more current, the bigger the boat can be carried, and the corresponding strength will be more powerful.
It takes thirty-three days to fully open the ninth level to achieve perfection, thirty-three days to fully open the eighth level to achieve perfection, and thirty-three days to fully open the seventh level.
The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades are not beyond the realm of mortals, but they are the foundation of martial arts. Once all the acupoints are opened, you can see the sky is high and the sea is vast, and it will be another scenery.
The entry point is to open one of the thirty-three acupoints.
This step is often the most time-consuming and difficult to say. Usually the body is tempered, and then slowly opened using the loosening method taught by Nie Yannian. There are also methods of washing the body with medicinal baths and combining them with certain methods.
Once an acupoint is opened, the points can be formed into a line to quickly open the next acupoint. For example, the acupuncture points on the arm should start from the palm of the hand, to the wrist, then upward, and then to the whole body.
If you are more diligent, an ordinary person can open all thirty-three acupoints in Xia Tian within three to five years; those with outstanding talents can often open them all in one year, or even less.
Of course, you can't do everything right, and you might get stuck somewhere. Or if you are too lazy, you will not be able to enter the realm.
However, opening an acupuncture point has some benefits. Opening the acupoint on the head can make people energetic and clear-minded. Opening the limbs can make the strength greater and more stable, while opening the trunk can increase endurance and improve strength.
There is no conclusion as to which acupoint should be opened first.
Some people attack the top of the head first, some open the limbs first, and some open the trunk first. This is mainly due to local conditions or other reasons.
The serious sects and those with long tradition always open the acupoints on the top of the head first.
For some boat gangs and medicine gangs, if you need to paddle a boat to climb mountains or jump high, you need to have strong lower body, so you need to open the lower limbs first, and then open the arms.
As for some martial arts schools outside, they are even more diverse.
Because of this casualness, although the world admires Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, most people who have not followed the path choose the path of martial arts. Just because it is easy to get started and the results are quick, no matter what you do after your strength increases, it will be beneficial.
"Look at those farmers and trackers. Aren't they able to survive better than you? But there are not many who can open the acupoints. This is why there is no way. Although the movements of the Zhuang Yangyuan Gong are simple, the important thing is the method of breathing in and out. There is a way to think about it, but if there is no one to point out this layer of window paper, those people will never understand it. ”
"People from rich families or high-ranking sects have either taken medicinal baths or eaten well since childhood. To temper their bodies, nourish their vitality and nourish their qi, they have long had their own set of methods for rejuvenating the body. If we can't learn it, others can't. Don’t pass it on.” Nie Yan Nian looked around at the young men and said seriously: "Fortunately, martial arts is not picky. If others are faster, they will be faster. If we work harder and endure more hardships, we can also touch their butts."
"Don't rush after the master just because he's done it. You can't rush into this kind of thing. The Zhuzhuang Yangyuan Gong that I teach you can make you tight and tight. This may not be the best way to open your mind, but it must be the most suitable for you. Yes. If you think more about yourself and work harder, you can always achieve success. It doesn’t matter which acupuncture point is opened first.”
"No one else can help you with the matter of opening acupoints. I can only pass on some experience to you. After all, the martial arts path values oneself the most."
Nie Yannian chatted for a long time, but when he saw that it was almost lunch time, he became impatient.
"From now on, the young gelding will be my senior brother, and I will listen to him every day for training, eating, and sleeping!" Nie Yannian said with a straight face, finally showing a bit of a strict teacher attitude, "If anyone is not convinced, don't come and complain to me first. Let’s talk about it after he’s convinced!”
Seeing that Master Nie valued Meng Yuan so highly, everyone couldn't help but look at Meng Yuan, but they saw that Meng Yuan had no expression on his face.
Meng Yuan knew that becoming a leader was certainly a result of his own merit, but it was also because he had made a promise to sell himself.
"Let's all go eat!" Nie Yannian waved his hand, but grabbed Meng Yuan, "You stay, and I will give you some more instructions."
After everyone had gone far, Nie Yannian said: "Martial arts are the external use of one's own strength, the speed of body movements, and the brain. Do you understand?"
"With greater strength, faster body movements, and faster reactions, and supplemented by martial arts moves, you can save energy and show more power. Rather than just learning martial arts moves," Meng Yuan said.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"You're such a good boy." Nie Yannian patted Meng Yuan on the shoulder hard and said, "This is also an old saying, if you don't practice martial arts, you will be in vain when you get old. You don't have to worry about learning any moves now, work harder and use Yang Yuan Gong to save your energy. I think the most important thing is to open the acupoints first.”
"Thank you Master Nie!" Meng Yuan was sincerely grateful and asked: "How to open the next acupoint?"
"Are you anxious? You have just broken down, so it doesn't matter if you take a moment." Nie Yannian smiled.
This man has nothing good to say!
"It's time to strike while the iron is hot and move forward courageously when you have just broken down." Meng Yuan was also shameless.
"Your boy is capable of both literature and martial arts!" Nie Yannian looked at Meng Yuan and said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple. Continue doing the Zhu Zhuang Yang Yuan Gong, build up the true energy, and then use the true energy to slowly attack the next one. ”
Seeing that Meng Yuan was serious, he explained some essentials in detail.
"There is no rush to open the acupuncture points. We need to know the method and the tightness and tightness must be matched." Nie Yannian raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "It's getting late. I will teach you sword and sword skills later! You can lead them to practice in the afternoon!"
Meng Yuan glanced at the sun in the middle of his head and thought to himself, is this too late? Are you too lazy?
"You have to remember not to lose your virginity. Don't worry, when the time comes, I will find you an old madam who will take care of you and teach you your skills!" Nie Yannian was very serious.
I knew you were still thinking about the little money I gave you in person! What kind of old bustard is that?
"Master Nie, I still like young and beautiful people." Meng Yuan told the truth.
"It's the same even if you close your eyes! You're still young and don't know what it's like!" Nie Yannian waved his hands, looking confused, and stood up to leave, "Place the recliner for me, but don't break it."
After Nie Yannian left, Meng Yuan walked to the cafeteria.
I really benefited a lot today, and I finally came into contact with something deep in this world.
It seems that you have to have a good position to have vision. If you keep working as a villager, you may only be able to listen to some wild fox Zen, and it will be difficult to touch the reality.
When I came to the canteen, there was usually noisy eating, but today it was very quiet.
The male and female students sat in two rows, with a bowl of rice placed in front of each person, and an extra bowl, which was filled to the top, obviously prepared for Meng Yuan.
All the students looked at Meng Yuan, all with different expressions.
Everyone has heard too much today. But the more he knew, the more extraordinary he felt that Senior Brother Meng was.
According to Master Nie, a ninth-grade martial artist needs to open all thirty-three acupoints, which would take three to five years for an ordinary person and one year for an outstanding person.
And if it is to open the first acupuncture point, it would take an ordinary person three to four months, and it would require guidance and hard work.
But it only took Senior Brother Meng a month to open the acupuncture points, and he didn't even receive much guidance. Although the future is still uncertain, there is no doubt that it is very promising.
"Senior Brother Meng." Wu Changsheng also got up.
"Ah...Senior Brother Meng." Tieniu stood up and spoke.
"Senior Brother Meng." All the men and women stood up.
"It's more pleasant to call me brother." Meng Yuan sat down and said with a smile: "Eat!"
