Lu Bu maintained this posture for a moment, then drew a graceful arc in the air with his right leg, slowly lowered it, and then raised his left leg to do the same movement. This was considered complete.
He let out a long breath, then without blushing or out of breath, he cupped his hands to Li Qian and explained: "Father, in fact, this first posture should be the Four Extremes of Heavenly Li and the Three Burners."
"Four poles?"
Li Qian nodded thoughtfully, no wonder Lu Bu had to lift his legs.
Lu Bu then explained in a deep voice: "It is said that in ancient times, the Central Plains was flooded, and the people were deeply affected by the rain and moisture. Their muscles and bones were shrinking and not strong, and their qi and blood were stagnant and unable to function."
"There is a great sage who observes the supreme principles of heaven and earth. Through his journey as a saint, he created this set of eight sections of brocade, which can open up the muscles and bones, smooth the qi and blood, and strengthen the bodies of all people!"
"The first form of the Four-Pole Supporting Heavenly Principle Three Burners was created by the sage who was inspired by watching the Empress Nuwa kill a mysterious turtle and erect the Four-Pole Heavenly Pillar. It is said that the original training method can allow people to support it with their hands and feet at the same time."
"It's just that later on, this training method gradually became distorted in the spread. Basically, everyone who got it would make some minor changes based on their own understanding to enhance the effectiveness of the training method."
"The current set is also the Baduanjin that Bu compiled based on his own understanding."
"But no matter who is holding the Baduanjin, the arms and legs cannot support the sky together. They can only lift the legs in turn."
Holding the sky with your hands and feet together? Is that an action that humans can do?
Li Qian couldn't help but imagine it in his mind, and subconsciously thought of the flip-top tortoise.
"Ahem~ Just continue first."
Li Qian felt that the reason why that kind of training method was lost may be because it was too unsightly.
"Yes, foster father."
Lu Bu responded: "The second style is called the bow left and right, like shooting a vulture..."
Next, Lu Bu demonstrated from the second form to the eighth form, each form was very different from what Li Qian remembered.
Looking at the various postures Lu Bu made with agility that was not in line with his majestic and strong body, Li Qian couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Can you really practice to this extent?
After finishing a set of Ba Duan Jin, Lu Bu's expression remained unchanged, and even his breathing was not disturbed.
He seemed to see Li Qian's worry, smiled and said, "Father, it's actually difficult to complete the movements perfectly when you first learn."
"Before you can actually practice, the cloth still needs to help you clear your muscles and bones."
"Unblock the muscles and bones?"
For some reason, Li Qian had a bad feeling in his heart.
Lu Bu smiled a little shyly: "This Ba Duan Jin is also called breaking the tendons. If you want to practice well, you have to open the tendons first!"
"Pull out the tendons..."
Gudong~
Li Qian's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the bad feeling became a reality: "Won't it break someone's skin?"
"Father, please don't worry, Bu will definitely be measured."
Li Qian was still a little hesitant, but he recalled Lu Bu's flexible movements just now.
Obviously, without a lot of hard work, you will never be able to achieve that level.
"you……"
Li Qian gritted his teeth: "How to pull it out? You do it!!"
"Yes, foster father."
Lu Bu agreed happily, and the two of them came to the soft cave nearby for rest. Lu Bu asked Li Qian to lie down on it.
'This is not a good gesture...'
Before Li Qian could say anything, he felt a pair of iron-like hands grasp his ankle.
"Ah~"
A heart-piercing pulling pain came from his leg, and Li Qian's face turned red.
If he hadn't been mentally prepared before, I'm afraid he would have screamed like a slaughtered pig now.
Of course, things weren't much better now. Li Qian gritted his teeth and covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming too loudly.
After pulling his left leg three times, Lu Bu pulled Li Qian's right leg three times in the same way before he stopped.
"Fengxian..."
Li Qian collapsed on the soft floor and was trembling a little as he spoke.
If it weren't for the pain that was still coming from him now, he would almost think that his legs didn't belong to him.
"Do you really have to... pull it out so hard?"
Is this more than just pulling out a muscle?
Li Qian felt that his legs were about to be severed.
"Father, this is a must."
As soon as he talked about the content of martial arts training, Lu Bu became serious: "Without this process of pulling out the tendons, it would be almost impossible to practice the Ba Duan Jin well."
The old eunuch Wei Zhongxian who had been watching also spoke: "Your Majesty, this slave has also practiced these eight sections of brocade."
"If you don't have the help of a knowledgeable expert to pull out the tendons, you can still practice it, but not only will you achieve half the result with twice the effort, but it will also be difficult to completely unblock the tendons and bones when you practice by yourself."
"Even if you can practice it over many years and months, you may end up with uneven exertion on the left and right, leaving chronic wounds and other chronic diseases."
"That's...okay."
Seeing both of them saying this, Li Qian gave up his struggle.
Lu Bu came closer again, with a cautious smile on his face: "Father, after you've finished pulling out the legs, it's time to pull out the arms."
Of course, his smile looked extremely ferocious in Li Qian's eyes...
There were no suppressed screams in the political hall. The old eunuch found a piece of yellow silk cloth for Li Qian to bite, claiming that it was to protect His Majesty's noble dragon's teeth.
When Lu Bu finished pulling out his tendons, Li Qian was unable to walk out of the political hall on his own. Instead, he was carried out by the eunuchs on a rope.
He originally thought that the political hall would become a gym, but there was always a discrepancy between reality and imagination.
This is not a gym, this is a torture chamber.
"Fengxian...I will come see you tomorrow..."
Li Qian's neck was weak and he was lying on the soft bed, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Bu.
You can't give up on these eight pieces of brocade halfway. If you don't practice tomorrow, wouldn't today's suffering be in vain?
And for some reason, although the pain was excruciating when the tendons were pulled out, now after the pull out, the tidal-like pain gradually subsided, and Li Qian felt the pain mixed with a sense of relief again.
'Damn... I'm not a pervert, am I?' Li Qian was a little scared.
Lu Bu's reaction was still very exciting: "Yes, foster father!"
Li Qian was carried out of Ziwei Palace and returned to Qianyuan Palace to rest.
The sun was already a little tilted. Lu Bu and a group of Yulin guards escorted him all the way to the entrance of Qianyuan Palace, and then he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
"Let's go out and have a drink!"
With a cheerful and relaxed smile on his face, Lu Bu waved his hand and was about to lead several of his men out of the palace.
Anyway, the emperor will never come out again today.
But unexpectedly, several of his subordinates responded with tearful and moved expressions.
"What's wrong? What are you all doing with such sad faces?"
Lu Bu was a little puzzled: "I have good news for you today!"
"Boss..."
The young leader of the Yulin Guards, named Zhou An, could no longer hold back at this moment. Tears flowed down his face in large numbers: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Boss, the sacrifice you have made for us is really too great." Got it!"
Lu Bu's face darkened, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong: "What kind of sacrifice is not necessary? Why are you so nervous when you step on the horse??"
