Chapter 10: Nurturing Qi in the abyss and gaining true strength through armor
A few months after becoming a recognized senior brother, An Jing and other boys and girls ushered in the real training at Xuanmingzhuang.
Not just physical training, Xuanmingzhuang began to truly teach ‘martial arts’ and ‘mental techniques’.
The beginning of Dachen Martial Arts is [Inner Breath], but before officially becoming an Inner Breath martial artist, trainee martial arts disciples have [Three Passes] to pass.
One pass says that the heart is not afraid in the face of danger, and the sword is applied to the body without moving the eyes.
The first pass is called physical strength, with enough energy to hit a thousand punches without getting tired.
The last level is skills, which requires honing a skill so that it can be integrated and integrated, so that hundreds of moves and thousands of styles can be used at will.
Only by mastering all three techniques of mind and body can one strike a powerful blow that penetrates the whole body and understand the 'inner breath'.
If you have a good physical condition, you just need to practice. The disciples of Xuanmingzhuang are selected from all over the country. There is no problem with their qualifications. Anyone can succeed step by step.
Heart Guan requires sparring practice until the mind is calm and focused, until the punch reaches the eyes without blinking, and until the pain penetrates the brain without panicking.
Since An Jing lost eleven people in a row, sparring has become a daily routine in the martial arts arena. Although no one will challenge An Jing, the other four flesh-eating disciples except An Jing will be challenged every day. I change positions every ten days, and my skills are sharpened very quickly.
The last skill is the most difficult. It requires hard work day and night, as well as talent and inspiration, in order to use the skill to integrate the "heart" and "body" and then master the "Innate Qi" and turn it into inner breath.
The reason why An Jing was able to crush other disciples was precisely because his 'body' and 'mind' had already broken through, but his 'skills' had not yet been perfected, but he was better than the others in terms of progress.
And this technique is not only about the skill in hand, but also about the understanding of one's own body's acupoints and internal organs - even one's own eight extraordinary meridians cannot be fully recognized, the major acupoints around the sky are not clear, and the five internal organs cannot be clearly identified. , how can this person master the innate Qi and achieve inner breath?
This is the reason why Xuanmingzhuang has been teaching his disciples to read and read: practicing martial arts also requires literacy.
The mental method taught by Xuanmingzhuang is called "Lin Yuan Qi Nourishing Stake". You need to stand on the stake with your eyes covered, visualize the abyss and canyon, control the muscles and organs of the whole body, and be fearless, unmoving, unmoving and undisturbed.
Although it is not an advanced mental method, it is much more perfect than the simple mental methods passed down by many martial arts families. It can nourish Qi, concentrate the mind, and refine body strength.
The martial arts he taught was called 'Guanjia Zhenjin', which was essentially just a technique for transporting strength, but it was part of the superior martial arts... that surprised even An Jing.
Guanjia Zhenjin is actually a kind of Fajin chapter inherited from the superior dharma.
It needs to be combined with the heart and strength. The braver and more indomitable you are, the greater the strength will be at that moment. If it is completed, its power will be enough to penetrate armor and break steel.
If fully mastered, it can even be used to break through the 'inner breath'.
Linyuan Qi-nurturing pile and Guanjia Zhenjin are both martial arts and mental methods for cultivating "the spirit of courage and determination". They emphasize the penetration of one Qi and the full explosion. This is the way of life and death fighting and exchanging lives for lives.
Coupled with the name "Xuanmingzhuang" itself, An Jing can basically conclude that this place is most likely a training base for some powerful sect to train assassins and dead warriors.
Although I had my doubts before, I am far less certain than I am now.
For An Jing, the Linyuan Qi-nurturing Stake was very easy for him. During the year of his escape, he experienced several lives and deaths, and he walked step by step toward the Abyss. His mentality was very consistent, and he quickly mastered it completely.
The same is true for other children of calamity. They mastered this mental method very quickly. At most, there are a few who are slow to read and need explanation from others before they can understand.
This may also be a mental method specifically provided to them, the ‘surviving disaster victims’.
As for Guan Jia Zhenjin, it is more difficult.
An Jing learned very quickly, and was soon able to use various weapons smoothly. In an instant, his strength was 40 to 50% higher than usual. However, there were only a few people who could keep up with his progress, and most of them had never even started.
As a senior brother, An Jing is willing to help other children solve some problems.
For example, they put forward some training suggestions, ways to relieve fatigue, and explanations of martial arts experiences, which were even more detailed than some lecturers' teachings.
Under his guidance, Zhang Ying, Gu Yeqi, Cang Linzu and others quickly mastered the mental method, while Cang Linzu and several others who were more talented even mastered Guanjia Zhenjin. Although the others didn't grasp it, they each had some understanding. They knew that An Jing was not lying to them or hiding his secrets. He really disclosed his experience. They felt grateful and trust gradually grew in their hearts.
Since then, many children have even been willing to talk to him about their troubles - most of them are the unique whims and sensitive souls of children around puberty, missing their parents in their hometown, feeling like they are just dust, etc.
An Jing was quite helpless, but he was still willing to listen patiently and provide comfort from a big brother's point of view.
As a result, not only the children in the same dormitory, but also other dormitories, regardless of gender, everyone respected Anjing from the bottom of their hearts and regarded him as a brother.
It is indeed a happy thing to be respected and loved by others.
Teaching for others also requires a deeper understanding of the knowledge you explain.
During the lecture, An Jing discovered that his understanding of martial arts might rely too much on talent, and he learned it instinctively, but the specific ideas were not clear.
The process of explaining to his junior brothers and sisters was also a process for him to review the key points and thoroughly master these mental martial arts, from 'proficiency' to 'comprehension'.
However, during this period, Xuanmingzhuang sent away the first batch of eliminated people.
"There are some people who do not meet the requirements of our Xuanming Village and were eliminated in the last half month of drills."
This is the explanation given by a doctor from the Medicine Pavilion to everyone's questions early one morning.
Thirty people were missing in the entire Xuanming Village, no more, no less, enough for everyone to notice, but not too surprised.
Most of these eliminated people are children who lack physical strength and have extremely slow progress in martial arts. This makes perfect sense and is in line with the imagination of most people.
It is natural for them to be eliminated, and I am afraid that neither everyone nor themselves will find it strange.
The same is true for Anjing.
However, with his keen observation skills, he unexpectedly discovered a strange place.
It's not weird to say that... It's just that on the day those children were eliminated, An Jing didn't remember hearing the sound of a car leaving the manor.
Xuanming Village is located deep in the mountains and old forests, and trucks will transport supplies every few days. If people want to leave, they will most likely leave by trucks.
But there were no cars coming or going in the days before and after, and Zhuang Nai didn't see the eliminated children.
But this is not a big deal.
Although he initially had some doubts about the reliability of Xuanming Village, recently, Anjing has personally experienced the treatment of Xuanming Village - he has meat and is full to eat. Compared with the troubled times in Northern Xinjiang, this place is almost like paradise.
Although the teaching instructors are a little strict, they are generally very good to them.
An Jing also got along well with several teachers, who would bring some snacks and other things to share with the children. Although he was serious at ordinary times, he would also tell the children about his training during breaks.
An Jing therefore did not take this matter to heart.
After all, they had never seen the five children who might have awakened their fates when they first appeared.
Xuanming Manor is very large, and there are many restricted areas that cannot be entered. Those five children may live in other areas of the manor, and the children who have been eliminated may also be waiting in other areas.
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.
