Chapter 009: Spiritual Transformation and the Twelve Forms of Yi Jin Jing
Chen Jue actually knew that for a grassroots person like him, without the support of noble people, it would be difficult to become a so-called rich man by working hard from scratch.
If he had not enjoyed a comfortable material life, he would probably have lived a life like an ordinary person, struggling for money and risking his life.
But now, since this attribute panel has been awakened, it is equivalent to opening up another different path in life for him.
"Practice!"
"As long as I succeed in my practice, my life will definitely be different." Chen Jue made up his mind.
If he had returned to the countryside before, he might have felt a little unwilling and would occasionally think of the beauty of that colorful world.
But after meeting Lin Ruoming, he suddenly felt that money, social status, and love became less important.
Time passes, years change, the world is changing rapidly, and what is left to people is only aging faces and physical degeneration.
If he could find an unusual way of cultivation in this real world, perhaps that would be the life that Chen Jue really wanted!
…
After coming out of Lin’s breakfast shop, Chen Jue felt that his state of mind had improved significantly.
Although he had added his elementary school deskmate’s WeChat account to his phone and left her contact information, Chen Jue knew that he wouldn’t have much communication with her in the future.
After breakfast, I slowly walked back to Chencun's home. It was already a little after 10 o'clock in the morning.
The sun was high in the sky, and the residual heat of late summer was still lingering.
Chen Jue closed the door, washed off the sweat from his morning exercise, changed into clean clothes, sat on the sofa, and imitated the middle-aged man in the video tutorial, breathing in and out.
This is the breathing method that goes with the boat fist, but due to lack of guidance, Chen Jue felt stars in his eyes and dizziness after practicing for a while.
"It seems that it is impossible to practice this kind of boxing exercises by sitting quietly." Chen Jue had a flash of thought and searched the Internet for training methods such as Taoist meditation and Buddhist Zen.
There are both true and false information on the Internet, and there are all kinds of strange and bizarre cultivation methods.
Since we can find the boat fist, we can definitely find similar static exercises to train the spirit and willpower.
After all, Chen Jue couldn't force his body to practice boat fist 24 hours a day. On the one hand, his body needed rest and recovery, and on the other hand, he wanted to make use of the extra time.
Reading more books or trying to practice some static exercises may have unexpected effects.
“Indian yoga?”
"Tantric Mahamudra?"
"Xi Sui Jing, Yi Jin Jing?"
With the intention of learning, Chen Jue watched online for half an hour and finally decided to start with the Yi Jin Jing of Shaolin Temple.
According to the information, the Yi Jin Jing originated from the guiding techniques practiced by sorcerers in the Qin and Han dynasties, and was introduced to Shaolin during the Tang and Song dynasties. It became a fitness exercise for monks to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis while meditating.
It has been handed down to this day and has been categorized by senior monks at Shaolin Temple, who have summarized a set of twelve static exercise postures.
The online tutorials are very comprehensive and much more detailed than other types of static exercises that only provide brief descriptions.
"Since the monks in Shaolin Temple can practice it, I might as well learn from them! It should be true."
"In martial arts novels, the Yi Jin Jing is considered a secret skill of Shaolin, but now it's been posted on the Internet and has become a common commodity." Chen Jue sighed in his heart.
I feel that getting these materials is not much more difficult than learning radio gymnastics in school.
Fortunately, he already had the basics of the boat fist, so he could practice the 12 moves of the Yi Jin Jing easily. Soon, a new skill appeared on his attribute panel: [12 Moves of the Yi Jin Jing Lv0 (1/100)]
However, the twelve moves of the Yi Jin Jing are obviously much more difficult to practice than the boat fist.
After performing a set of postures, there was no sign of any improvement in skill proficiency.
Chen Jue had no choice but to open the teaching videos of the Shaolin monks, watch them over and over again, learn them word by word, correcting his posture while trying hard to simulate the state of meditation during morning exercises.
After struggling for an hour or so, I finally saw my proficiency level jump up by 1 point.
"well!"
"It's still because my skills are not good enough. The Yi Jin Jing is supposed to be a quiet exercise, but I'm sweating all over while practicing it." Chen Jue sighed and felt that he was a little anxious.
He got up, went to the bathroom, got some cold water to wipe his face, and then started practicing again .
After adjusting my mindset and practicing the Yi Jin Jing, my proficiency started to increase a little faster.
Half an hour +1, half an hour +1, until 12 o'clock when Chen Jue got up to make lunch. He had accumulated 4 points of proficiency in the newly learned Twelve Postures of Yi Jin Jing.
The most important thing is that practicing this Yi Jin Jing static exercise helps to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, making Chen Jue feel that the fatigue left over from morning exercises was slightly relieved.
…
After lunch, Chen Jue went upstairs to take a nap.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I was awakened by a phone call on my cell phone.
I picked up the phone and asked, it turned out that the solid wood square table I ordered yesterday had been delivered. I hurried downstairs and saw a small delivery truck at the entrance of the village.
Leading the two movers, they walked through the village paths and arrived in front of the house. They watched the tightly wrapped solid wood square table being delivered to the living room on the first floor. Only then did Chen Jue transfer the 200 yuan moving fee.
The two delivery men were in a hurry to get to the next store and did not stay. After collecting the money, they drove away.
After returning home, Chen Jue took out a pair of large scissors, tore off all the foam paper bags outside the square table, and cleared the garbage outside the door. Then he jumped onto the sturdy square wooden table, stepped on it left and right, and felt that it was much more solid than the octagonal table he had at home when he was a child.
"Finally I can practice the Eight Immortals Posture!"
Chen Jue was quite interested. He washed his face to get rid of the drowsiness after his nap, and began to practice the Eight Immortals Posture that came with the Boat Fist according to the instructions in the video.
Originally, Chen Jue had been practicing on the ground. It was not until he got on this narrow solid wood square table that he realized how difficult it was to practice the Eight Immortals Posture.
Fortunately, the foundation has been laid in the past two days. After adapting for a while, this Eight Immortals Posture Technique officially appeared on the attribute panel: [Eight Immortals Posture Lv0 (1/10 0)]
"It is actually an independent skill separated from the Ship Fist!" Chen Jue was a little surprised.
After discovering the proficiency of the Eight Immortals Posture and the fact that he could actually break away from the Boat Fist, he secretly guessed that the Eight Immortals Posture he had practiced before was completely incomprehensible.
"I really have to practice on the table!"
Chen Jue was a little excited and started to stand on the pole.
In recent days, he has been visiting many forums and post bars on martial arts, external and internal martial arts, ancient boxing, etc. on the Internet.
Comments like "If you practice boxing without practicing martial arts, it will all be for nothing when you get old" are even more numb.
Now that he had learned a new type of standing meditation, he was naturally very excited and became very interested in practicing it!
