Chapter 118: Subduing the Dragon and the Tiger, Refining the Organs and Changing the Marrow
After adding the contact information, Chen Jue also asked Yun Xiaomei: "Are you going into the mountains these days?"
Little Sister Yun nodded: "Yes! The old black bear's babies are a little weak, I have to go and deliver milk to them in the next few days."
When Chen Jue heard this, he was inspired and thought that he could go to the forest more often in the next few days.
With a learning genius like Yun Xiaomei who can learn things quickly, I have a great person to communicate with about what I have learned.
…
The two walked and talked until they parted ways at a fork in the mountain road.
Yun Xiaomei wants to go back to the village to report her safety to her family, and Chen Jue also wants to go back to Wazhai to replenish supplies and rest.
Since this area is close to the Dulong River, it is hundreds of kilometers away from Wazhai, which is next to the Nujiang River. Chen Jue had to get off the mountain road and when he walked to a nearby cement road, he stopped a passing tourist bus that was carrying tourists.
Sitting in the car, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains receding outside the window and a few low white clouds floating in the blue sky, Chen Jue's mind was full of the shadow of Yun Xiaomei, whom he had only been with for half a day.
Just now, the two of them had walked together out of the deep primitive mountains, climbing over mountains and crossing ridges, jumping over water when they came across it, and they walked very fast along the way. When they reached the fork in the road, they had walked a total of more than 50 kilometers.
At this time, Chen Jue found that Yun Xiaomei began to pant and sweat on her forehead, which was a sign of her physical strength starting to decline. After observing this and comparing it with his own physical attribute growth in the past, Chen Jue roughly calculated Yun Xiaomei's panel attributes.
This is a horizontal reference from the perspective of the attribute panel, and Chen Jue also intends to find a few people in this long world who have some kind of magical practice like himself for comparison.
Although Yun Xiaomei has a strong bone structure and was born with 40 teeth, which is the same physical state as Sakyamuni, she has also practiced the tortoise breathing kung fu similar to Baodan.
However, the opponent's physical reserves are at most similar to the situation when Chen Jue's physical attribute was around 1.5.
In addition, when the master was pointing at the opponent's Tai Chi stance just now, Chen Jue and Yun Xiaomei tested their skills and judged that her strength and agility should not exceed 1 point by much.
To be honest, this little sister Yun who possesses all kinds of miraculous performances is several times worse than Chen Jue, who relies on cheating by adding some penetration, in terms of physical fitness alone!
Chen Jue felt that people like Yun Xiaomei should be the upper limit of human beings in the real world. Even the ancient sages could not break this limit and live several more lives than others.
However, Chen Jue still discovered many shining points in Yun Xiaomei that he could not match.
His temperament of being close to nature as if he was one with it, and his habits of treating all living things equally, are not comparable to those of a secular person like Chen Jue.
In addition, the opponent can learn from nature and observe living things to create his own Xingyi style. Compared with Chen Jue, who only knows how to copy the martial arts skills of his predecessors, he is many times stronger.
"If I can combine what I have learned, can I also create similar boxing skills? And then form new skills on the panel?"
"The biggest function of the panel, besides being able to break through the limits of the human body by adding points, should also have a function similar to correcting finger mistakes..." Chen Jue looked out the window, and recalled the scene when he was learning the small and large circulations. He felt like he had caught some inspiration.
In the blink of an eye, his train of thought was interrupted by the shrill horn of a heavy-duty truck speeding past on the opposite road. Chen Jue was so angry that he shouted, "Fuck!"
…
It was already noon when Chen Jue got back to the town below Wazhai on the tourist bus. He went to a local restaurant and ordered a table of delicious dishes as a reward for himself after sleeping in the open air.
After eating compressed biscuits for almost two days, Chen Jue felt that there was no oil or water in his stomach, and there was no salt in his mouth.
Food is the most important thing for people. Even though he started practicing, he felt that he could not do without the temptation of these delicious foods.
“Maybe I’m just an ordinary person at heart!”
Chen Jue looked at the table full of food, patted his full belly, stood up to pay the bill, took a toothpick from the front desk, and walked towards Wazhai while picking his teeth.
While picking his teeth, Chen Jue found that the signs of his old teeth falling out were getting more and more serious. As soon as he inserted the toothpick into the gap between his teeth, the teeth on both sides showed signs of loosening.
I think it's because I've been observing the tiger and learning its movements over the past few days, and I've realized the true meaning of the tiger and leopard thunder sounds, and I've practiced the martial arts into my bones.
However, Chen Jue's physique was extraordinary, and his bones were several times stronger than those of ordinary people. It was a hundred times more difficult for him to train his strength into his bone marrow than for other martial artists. This was equivalent to his bones being too strong and his foundation too deep, which caused his upgrade to be too slow. Therefore, after practicing for so long, he still hadn't thoroughly trained his bone marrow and reached the level of the 100-day foundation-building stage of changing marrow and teeth as described in the boxing classics and alchemy.
"The tiger roar alone is not enough to shake the bones of the whole body. How about trying the dragon roar?" Chen Jue took a look at the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, which was only level 1 on the panel, and then took a look at the other two Golden Bell Covers that had the effect of hard work and internal strengthening. He felt that he would be busy in the next few days.
…
After returning to the old house in Wazhai, Chen Jue first boiled some hot water to take a bath, changed his dirty clothes, and then went to bed for a nap.
After spending a night in the deep mountains and forests, the damp and cold fog in the forest made it difficult for me to sleep well.
Even though Chen Jue knew the art of fetal breathing, he still felt a little uncomfortable and needed to sleep in bed normally to replenish his energy and vitality.
Maybe it was because he met Yun Xiaomei and talked with her for a long time, which solved many of his doubts, which was equivalent to untying a knot in his heart. Chen Jue slept particularly soundly that night.
When he got up at 6 p.m., he felt full of energy and no longer had that "dry" feeling as he had during the day.
In fact, the situation that Chen Jue encountered was the theory of Dan Qi leakage described in the Taoist alchemy classics. To form and nurture the Dan requires an extremely stable environment.
Once the environment changes, and the thoughts become mixed, one will not be able to restrain the Qi and blood, and the "Dan Qi" will leak out, making the golden elixir no longer smooth, that is, it will lose its "roundness" and be no longer "smooth".
…
He got up and looked at the time. He felt that the food he had eaten at noon had been completely digested during this long nap. His stomach was empty. Chen Jue stretched his body, and his muscles and bones made a sound. Then he got up and went to the town to have dinner.
When it was time to return, it was getting dark. Chen Jue practiced night walking skills on the mountain path to improve his body skills and night vision while rushing back to Wa Village.
After two days and one night of training in the mountains, Chen Jue had unknowingly upgraded this night-walking skill to Level 2. He felt his eyes were wide open and bright at night, and he could see details that he could not discover in the dark before.
When he returned to Wa Village, Chen Jue did not go back to Wang Biao's old house, but climbed all the way to the top of the back mountain. Feeling the silence and the whistling mountain wind, he began to practice the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt.
I have mentioned before when I was practicing the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover at the beach. This Wudang Taihe School's horizontal hard skill involves the whole body exerting strength, the skin and muscles shaking, and it has the unique effect of sounding and refining the internal organs.
If Chen Jue had not borrowed the help of a real tiger, observed the tiger's form, and obtained the true meaning of the tiger's form, and at the same time realized the tiger and leopard's thundering sound, it would have taken a lot of free attribute points to perfect the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell Cover.
As for the "Tiger Roar?" state that awakens after the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover is perfected, Chen Jue has always believed that the two question marks are actually the "Dragon Roar" corresponding to the Tiger Roar, and should also be a sound-fighting secret technique similar to the Tiger Roar.
After he truly mastered and studied the Dragon Roar Iron Shirt, Chen Jue discovered the absurdity and ridiculousness of inertial thinking.
The so-called dragon roar is not the roar of a real dragon.
Although there is indeed a dragon form among the twelve forms of Xingyiquan in this world, it is just the true meaning of the appearance of the dragon imagined by the world, and no one has actually heard the "dragon's roar" with their own ears.
If Chen Jue can learn the tiger roar from a real tiger, then does he have to find a real dragon to learn the dragon roar?
At worst, you can find an extinct dinosaur to imitate and practice martial arts?
As long as the name has something to do with "dragon", it's fine, right?
All of the above statements are too unrealistic. In fact, the "dragon" here is just a code word in boxing classics and alchemy. There is actually a big dragon hidden in the human body.
Chen Jue, who has been familiar with the boxing classics in the group files during this period, already knows that there are two types of standing exercises in Xinyiquan, namely, subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, and the mantra for practicing these two types of standing exercises is: "Subdue the real dragon and the elixir can be completed, subdue the fierce tiger and your life will be guaranteed forever."
The real dragon in this mantra refers to the human spine!
The spine is the most complex bone , consisting of 33 vertebrae. It is the central axis of the human body and the pillar of the whole body. The spinal cord nerves contained in it are an important nervous system of the human body. Most of the movements of the human body are closely related to this spine.
The mantra of taming the real dragon is equivalent to training the spine to bend as desired and practicing martial arts into the spinal cord. It is the real superior skill of strengthening bones and refining marrow.
The "Dragon Roar" in Dragon Roar Iron Shirt refers to the sound of bones vibrating when the spine connects with the bones of the whole body!
The roar of a tiger strengthens the internal organs, while the roar of a dragon strengthens the marrow. This is the fundamental purpose of the two kinds .
