Chapter 183 Learning Makes People Progress
Chen Jue was concentrating on practicing the Tantric Seal and did not notice the changes on the panel.
At this moment, Chen Jue was observing his own internal organs through [inner vision]. He found that with the practice of Tantric Mahamudra and the chanting of Buddhist scriptures and mantras, under the influence of the penetrating vibrations of sound waves, the Qi and blood in a circle of his heart would enter into a special resonance.
That resonance carried a hint of tranquility, making Chen Jue's heart beat more steadily, and his mood was calmed by his true heart.
Chen Jue practiced so many martial arts and read about the strengths of each in the group. He knew that this was to cooperate with the practice of Tantric Mahamudra, which aroused the true meaning of the second half of the boxing rhyme mentioned in Xinyiquan: "Subdue the real dragon and the elixir can be completed, subdue the fierce tiger and your life will be forever secured."
In Xinyiquan there are two sets of standing exercises, subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger. The essence of subduing the dragon is to subdue the big dragon of the spine. By training the spine to be able to bend as desired, and by training the kung fu into the spinal cord, you have half a step into the state of Baodan.
And the Fu Hu is the tiger that subdues the "heart"!
The saying "there is a ferocious tiger in the heart" is not made up out of thin air. The heart is the most important circulatory organ in the human body. When the body moves, the heartbeat is like a tiger out of the cage. It is the violent beating of the heart that supplies blood, energy and nutrients to the whole body.
In ancient times, "heart" was believed to be the birthplace of soul, thinking, and wisdom.
There is an acupuncture point on the human hand that is connected to the heart. It is the well-known tiger's mouth point between the thumb and index finger. Pressing this acupuncture point can relieve palpitations and even relieve flatulence in pregnant women.
Chen Jue used the Tantric Mahamudra to connect the heart with the hand seal. Through the practice of Mahamudra, he stimulated the tiger's mouth point connected to the heart, and used sound wave vibration to practice the internal organs, which just happened to confirm the true meaning of "Subduing the Tiger".
In addition, the Taoist classic "Zhouyi Cantongqi" mentioned "wild monkeys and unruly horses", which is a noun that describes a person's mind being scattered and as difficult to control as a monkey or a horse.
Chen Jue had been affected by the worldview of the Home Plan, and his thoughts were in turmoil. His heart in the mortal world was almost unstable, which was exactly the same as the description of "a restless mind".
Just like the Monkey King Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, when he was serving in the Heavenly Palace, he was given the title of Bi Ma Wen. In order to subdue the imperial horses of Heaven, Sun Wukong almost let the nature of these imperial horses run wild.
Because at this time, Sun Wukong was still the Monkey King who had not obtained the true scriptures and only knew how to fight against heaven and earth by relying on his supernatural powers. Only when he realized the "emptiness" and subdued the monkey-like nature in his heart, could he finally see the realm of Tathagata.
"Tathagata" is not only the perfection of the physical body, but also the perfection of the soul. Because Chen Jue had already proved his own way before, his physical body had long reached the realm comparable to that of Sakyamuni. He was able to practice the Tantric Mahamudra with ease, and soon subdued his mind and entered the spiritual realm of realizing "emptiness".
At this time, he discovered through [inner vision] that after entering this wonderful state of Wukong, his heartbeat began to converge, and the bioelectric currents and nerve signals transmitted from the spine also slowed down, as if the operation of the whole body had pressed the X0.5 deceleration button.
"Subduing a tiger can prolong one's life forever. It turns out that it slows down the heartbeat and reduces blood circulation in the body, achieving a similar effect as the turtle's longevity."
"Spiritual practice can be verified by physical practice. This Tantric Mahamudra really has some tricks!"
"That Zhao Zhen was probably helped by the Buddha's bone relics to practice Yoga Mahamudra to the level of Sakyamuni. But his mind, instead of being as peaceful as Wukong's, he realized the domineering attitude of being the only one in the world. He took the wrong path and misunderstood the true meaning of the Buddha's four elements being empty." Chen Jue was filled with thoughts, and when he quit the practice of Tantric Mahamudra, he found that it was already dawn outside.
After taking a look at the panel, Chen Jue was stunned to find that it was showing an update. "You updated in time! You just updated the content of spiritual practice, and you just released the patch?"
Chen Jue was somewhat surprised by the changes in the panel. The last update was when he was practicing in the beach villa.
At that time, I had all kinds of doubts about life, the panel, and spiritual practice, just like the dilemma I am in now.
Fortunately, a night of Tantric Mahamudra practice helped Chen Jue calm down a lot.
After going out to the cafeteria to have breakfast, Chen Jue returned the three books he had rented last night and stayed in the reading room again.
Anyway, Liu Chengdong and that old man Zhong didn't force him to leave. Chen Jue just happened to have the opportunity now, so he wanted to make up for his lack of theoretical knowledge in cultivation by using the mountains of information in this reading room.
"If you disturb my spiritual heart, I will fleece you!"
"No one owes anyone anything!"
Chen Jue had this thought with a sense of evil humor. It just so happened that he had many doubts and puzzles when he looked directly at the universe in his body before.
There are also computers in this reading room that can be used to look up the most advanced papers related to the body, so Chen Jue naturally would not miss it.
"Cell knowledge, gene knowledge, bioelectric current, conjecture about mind and will, theory of human magnetic field, theory of human thermal radiation..." Chen Jue sat in the reading room for several days. When he was hungry, he went to the cafeteria to eat, and when he was sleepy, he went back to his room to sleep and rest.
You know, learning can also help calm the mind and improve concentration. If ordinary people like us concentrate on listening in class, we sometimes find that time passes very quickly.
Unconsciously, Chen Jue found that five days had passed since he came to this base. In addition, his intelligence was now high, so he could read three lines of theoretical knowledge at a glance. He would not forget it easily after reading it several times.
After several days of continuous study, Chen Jue gained a lot.
Of course, whenever Chen Jue felt bored reading these theoretical knowledge and papers, he would go to the bookshelf and take out a few martial arts manuals to study them.
The ID of the martial arts expert on Tieba is not Bai Qi's. Chen Jue integrates his daily free time, whether walking, sitting or lying down, into his practice.
Although the attribute panel has not been updated yet, Chen Jue has now mastered all the boxing skills and martial arts, so he can basically get started with learning new kung fu very quickly.
Having faced the danger of bullets in Antarctica before, Chen Jue began to study these martial arts secrets with a more targeted approach.
In addition to the Taoist Giant Spirit Divine Eyes and Buddhist Vajra Angry Eyes for training eyesight, Chen Jue also found a modern Xingyiquan secret book called The Secret Eyes of the Candle Dragon on the bookshelf.
When Chen Jue found out that the person who created this skill was Linglong's senior brother Lei Jiao, he was surprised and marveled at the research institute's ability to collect information, even able to get this .
After studying these books on eye skills to improve visual ability, Chen Jue started looking for some external skills that suited him from the bookshelf.
When facing bullets before, he felt that his skin couldn't withstand it. Chen Jue thought that it was because he didn't practice hard skills enough.
Adhering to the concept of wearing the thickest armor and enduring the most severe blows, he wondered if he could use his body to take on bullets and enhance his defense.
It just so happened that the two status bonuses, [Golden Bell Body] and [Iron Shirt Body], could promote the cultivation of the same type of kung fu, so Chen Jue went to look for ancient books about Golden Bell Body and Iron Shirt.
You wouldn’t know until you look for it. Once you look for it, Chen Jue will be shocked!
The Golden Bell Cover was not so bad, as he only found one that he had not learned, the "Inner Hard Golden Bell Cover", but the number of Iron Shirts was far beyond Chen Jue's expectations: "Eagle Claw Iron Shirt, Mixed Element Iron Shirt, Nine Palace Iron Shirt, Inner Strong Iron Shirt, Golden Elixir Iron Shirt... If he learned all of them and practiced them to perfection, it should be no problem to block a pistol bullet, right?"
