Seeing the completion progress of "Task One", Hua Zhenxing decided to keep his word, stood up and said to Rozchild: "If you want to learn the art of nourishing the essence, then I will teach you. The method is actually not complicated, the key is whether you can really do it. Now
I’ll teach you the postures of static exercises, which are the basics… Hey, your flexibility is pretty good?”
Rothchild: "I have practiced yoga, which is also a mysterious physical and mental cultivation method from the East."
Hua Zhenxing: "No wonder, many people can't even squat down with their heels on the ground, let alone sit cross-legged like this... Forget it, you'd better loosen your legs. It's too forced and affects the state. It's as simple as that.
Just cross your legs and sit cross-legged. The prerequisite is that you are stable, as if you are rooted. If you can find this feeling, you can even sit on a stool without crossing your legs."
Hua Zhenxing spent more than ten minutes teaching Rozchild to adjust the posture. The time was limited and he just tried his best to explain it so that Rozchild could remember it first and then slowly try to find the real feeling.
After "stability" is "center", just like taking root and growing upward, from the perineum, the tail gate to the jade pillow, Baihui. The perineum is opposite to Baihui, the tail gate is to the jade pillow, and the tip of the nose is to the head... It is invisible to the eyes.
, this is the feeling you are looking for. After "Zhong" is "Zheng", the neck is straight and the shoulders are flat, the waist is straight and the hips are flat, the body is upright, the qi and blood are flat.
"Upright" is followed by "loose", as if there are hundreds of threads lifting the body upward, naturally retracting the jaw and chest, sinking the shoulders and straightening the back, allowing the body to relax and the mind to relax. "Loose" means "stability", "center",
"Rightness" is the premise, not just relaxation.
After "pine" comes "jing", which means concentration. The introduction to Yangyuan Technique is not complicated, it is to concentrate on holding the spirit, first concentrate and then hold the spirit.
The so-called concentration is not a mystery. It is an ability that everyone must master from infancy to adulthood. It is similar to what people often say "concentrate", which is concentration. Although everyone can master it, the degree of mastery is different, and it is used in behavior.
In school, this is how the so-called academic scumbags and academic overachievers are often distinguished.
Achieving a state of relaxation and concentration at the same time may sound contradictory, because when the mind is highly concentrated, people are prone to stress and fatigue, which tests their willpower and is difficult to sustain. Usually, the experience closest to this state is somewhat similar to
Find a comfortable position and environment to watch a movie.
If a person is completely attracted by the movie, and forgets his own existence for a while, and ignores other things around him... When the movie ends and he comes back to his senses, it feels like a dream, which is close to being relaxed and focused.
State. But this is a state caused by a single external stimulus, and not everyone can achieve it by independently adjusting their body and mind.
The concentration in Yangyuan Technique has unique requirements. It requires physical and mental adjustment to achieve relaxation and naturalness. The first step is posture and breathing. The posture is first adjusted in place, and then other conscious activities are stopped in a awake state to achieve relaxed concentration.
This usually requires the mind to focus on one fate. The art of nourishing energy starts with breathing, and it is abdominal breathing.
There is a term called "meaning to guard the Dantian". It is difficult to explain it clearly to people like Rothchild. In fact, there is no need to explain it, or even to know this concept. How to guard the Dantian? If you think that you are thinking about a place called Dantian.
That's wrong. "Thinking" will cause the mind to disperse, and the mind to disperse will not be able to enter. The so-called entry means reaching a certain state.
The introductory method of mindfully guarding the Dantian is to focus on abdominal breathing.
Where is the "Dan Tian" at this time? There is no need to measure a few inches or minutes from the belly button. Everyone has hip bones, and the center of the line connecting the tips of the hip bones on both sides of the abdomen is where the Dan Tian is, or it is the approximate location of the so-called "lower Dan Tian".
You don’t have to look for it, it’s the core area of abdominal breathing and you can feel it naturally.
There are two types of abdominal breathing, cis and reverse. The so-called cis means that the lower abdomen bulges out when inhaling and retracts when exhaling, and the reverse is the opposite. The introduction to Yangyuan Technique requires reverse abdominal breathing, inhaling
When you exhale, the lower abdomen is drawn in, and when you exhale, it is relaxed, with the Dantian as the core.
People who have not received special training may find it awkward. At first, they need to control it deliberately. This is a process of gradually reaching concentration. At this time, the consciousness is not thinking about the problem, but just controlling the breathing and body. If you are too deliberate, you will
Not enough relaxation.
Then the standard for relaxation and tranquility is to transition from a deliberate state to a non-conscious state, focus on breathing, and naturally maintain retro-abdominal breathing without deliberate effort, and at the same time adjust the breathing intensity to achieve long and silent...
How to measure the effects of practitioners? Some people say it is fever in the lower abdomen, some people say it is slight numbness all over the body, and some people say that their arms can't help but lift up. These descriptions are vague and difficult to quantify scientifically. If you really enter the state,
You will feel it yourself; if you don’t experience it, it’s useless no matter what you say.
The first step in getting started with Yangyuan Technique has a very clear standard, which for men is Yingjian**. This occurs naturally and is somewhat similar to nighttime** during sleep, but at this moment the person's consciousness is awake.
.
How long does it take to practice to reach this standard? There is no limit. It doesn’t matter how long you can’t get into the state. If you can get into the state, you may have done it in the first practice. For example, after Hua Zhenxing finished speaking, let Rozchild try it on his own.
After about twenty minutes, Rothchild suddenly exclaimed: "Hua, this is actually true, I have a reaction!"
Sometimes people are surprised by their own reactions. When he yelled like this, he was out of the state just now. Hua Zhenxing smiled slightly: "Isn't it normal to have a reaction?"
Rothchild: "What you said is actually true, you really would have such a reaction! I swear I didn't think about anything else just now, and I didn't have any erotic thoughts in my heart."
Hua Zhenxing: "Why are you looking at me like this? If you don't believe me, why bother learning from me. If you are willing to believe, there is no need to be so surprised."
Rozchild nodded repeatedly and said, "I really believe it now. What is the principle of this? Is it training your sexual ability?"
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "If you think so, I don't know if it's right or not. Of course it has a training effect, but if you use it like this, I'm afraid you're going astray. At least that's not how the Yangyuan Technique I learned is used.
It is just the first step to get started, and its purpose is just to make you feel alive.”
Rothchild: "What kind of life do you feel?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I don't know how to translate this term to you. It means the power of life, the characteristics of life, the symbol of life, the desire of life... Maybe they are all related but not quite accurate. I can only understand.
The so-called "yuan" in Yangyuan Technique refers to vitality. I can only tell you directly the pronunciation of Dongguo Chinese. It is difficult to translate it. It uses the same word as Dongguo currency unit, but it is not the same word.
mean."
Rothchild: "I understand what you mean. It is very abstract. It can neither be seen nor touched."
Hua Zhenxing shook his head and said: "You are a doctor, how could you say such a thing? Life can be found everywhere, and you touch it every day. A doctor's job is to save life, which is actually to maintain and stimulate the patient's life. If a person loses his life, he will die.
Death means treatment failure. This is something you deal with every day. Although it is abstract, it is real."
Rothchild: "Can I understand it as the inner maintenance mechanism and ability of the living body?"
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while: "You can say that, but don't give such a definition directly. It is just one of the manifestations of vitality. Anyway, the old man Yang who taught me told me this, don't take it personally if you don't understand it.
I don’t understand it myself, but I can observe it and feel it.
Doctor Luo, have you ever raised flowers? Some flowers can survive by cutting two branches, insert them into the soil, water and fertilize. One branch will grow into a new flower, while the other branch will wither.
, why is this? It’s because the former retains its vitality, while the latter’s vitality dissipates. So it is visible and can be seen everywhere.”
At this point, Hua Zhenxing looked around, pointed not far away and said, "Just like the immortal rose, which is only coiled up to less than one meter in size, it has actually survived for thousands of years. It only has two leaves.
It kept growing, the tips withered, and the leaves were torn into many strips by the wind..."
Rothchild interjected: "The immortal rose? This is not a flower but a leaf? I think it is completely dead!"
Hua Zhenxing: "It just looks like it's dead, but when the rainy season comes, the green leaves extend from the roots and hover like a rose. You can see that this plant has maintained its vitality for thousands of years."
At this point, he was suddenly stunned, because the "system" in his consciousness suddenly jumped out again, and a new "Chunrong Dan development task" appeared.
This task does not have the signs of one, two, or three. It appears directly before the unfinished task one. It is located at the top of the system. There is also a progress bar behind it, but the degree of completion is close to zero. It is only slightly displayed.
There is also content.
Discovered one of the basic raw materials of Chunrong Dan: Immortal Core
Properties: hair growth, aphrodisiac
Method of harvesting and processing: Only plants of the Immortal Rose that are more than a thousand years old can be used as medicine. At the beginning of the heavy rainy season every year, take the core of its rhizome, which is about three inches thick and one foot long. It is light green and slightly yellow like jasper. Soak it in ether and cold extract it until the color of the liquid changes.
, dry it in the shade and get its crystals for later use. Or use the method of keeping things to directly extract its essence. The texture is like green sugar, the taste is pungent, dry and slightly toxic. If you want to get the best effect, this method is recommended.
Method of refining medicine: currently missing
At this moment, Hua Zhenxing's head seemed to be opened, and he suddenly recalled certain contents in the dream. In that dream, he had read the original prescription of Chunrong Dan, like a thick dictionary.
There are a total of 360 Chunrong Pills in the complete set, and each one has different ingredients. It is made from a total of 108 medicinal materials, and the Immortal Core is one of them.
When refining Chunrong Dan, the 108 medicinal materials are divided into five groups: aphrodisiacs, summer medicines, autumn medicines, winter medicines, and Chinese medicines, while the immortal core belongs to aphrodisiacs.
This aphrodisiac is not that aphrodisiac, it is not meant to aphrodisiac, but it is used in elixirs taken in spring; this Chinese medicine is not that Chinese medicine, it is meant to be a neutralizing medicine.
Hua Zhenxing "remembered" these all at once, as if something he had forgotten was suddenly found in his memory. It should be what he saw in the prescription. But no matter how much he thought about it, he could only remember so much for the time being.
It seems that how far this "Chun Rong Dan development task" can be completed depends not only on whether he can see these medicinal materials in reality, but also on his current understanding ability. For example, the method of refining the immortal core is not available at the moment.
Show... Hua Zhenxing was stunned and fell into deep thought for a moment.
In the distant night, two old men were sitting in the haystack chatting. Mo Shangtong said: "You scared the child, and suddenly sent him a task. Look at him, he is stupid."
Yang Tehong: "It doesn't matter. Xiaohua has a strong ability to adjust. I made a system for him and sent him two tasks earlier. Look, isn't he quite calm? Since he dreamed about something like Chunrong Dan, then
Let’s think about it, don’t rush, just take your time step by step.”
Mo Shangtong: "Why did you let him use Welwitschia? As far as I know, no Eastern medicine prescription contains Welwitschia. Even the prescription of Nine Turns Purple Golden Pill does not contain Welwitschia."
