Chapter 18 Breathing(1/2)
Technique
In the early morning, the rising sun rises in the east.
As the first ray of sunshine shone across the earth, more and more people were on the streets, and the entire capital city of Zhou Dynasty became vibrant.
Early in the morning, in the courtyard of Prince Pavilion.
The captain of the guard, He Chong, looked at Su Leng, who was still being supported by Xiaodie, in shock, and said in disbelief: "Your Highness, Thirteenth Prince, you want me to teach you martial arts?"
"is there a problem?"
Su Ling looked at the other party and asked rhetorically.
Song Renfeng's investigation is destined to be fruitless.
The cook who picked up the money bag he lost would never dare to say that he put the money bag into the water tank, because this would mean that he had murdered Zhou Mingcheng. It would not only be a simple death penalty, but also implicated.
Nine tribes.
And even if the cook noticed something strange when he was interrogated by Song Renfeng and was subjected to severe torture, which made the cook unbearable and confessed, there would be no way to investigate in the end.
Because the cook picked up the money bag on the road in the palace, especially the road near the imperial kitchen. Almost everyone in the palace would pass by there. In this kind of ancient times where there is no surveillance and no fingerprints, it is difficult to find out who is.
source.
This clue is basically useless.
As for the clues about the money bag, it is even more impossible.
That money bag was made secretly by Imperial Physician Chen, which meant that he was actually involved in the poisoning of the eighth prince Zhou Mingcheng.
If he dares to be exposed, he will be punished by everyone.
As for other side details, there are no clues at all. For example, materials such as burlap can be found everywhere throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, and are not as rare as Ganqingdu. It is impossible to trace them back.
In addition, with him always paying attention to Song Renfeng's movements with [self-knowledge], the "player" princes misled Song Renfeng with their various escapades, and the death of the eighth prince Zhou Mingcheng was basically an unsolved case.
Because of this, Su Ling also focused on his second plan, practicing martial arts.
"There is nothing wrong with teaching His Highness the Thirteenth Highness in martial arts. It is also the honor of the lower official. However, martial arts are usually practiced from a young age. Your muscles and bones, Your Highness The Thirteenth Highness, have already been formed. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve any results."
After hearing what Su Ling said, He Chong spoke tactfully and carefully.
What he actually wanted to say was, why should you practice martial arts when you are so sick and consumptive? I can't afford to train myself to death in a short while!
Of course, he didn't dare to say it so explicitly.
"It doesn't matter, you just have to teach me. Whether I can learn from it or not is my business."
Su Ling said lightly.
"……All right."
He Chong saw that Su Leng was determined to learn martial arts, so he had no choice but to agree.
Although he was afraid that the other party would train him to death, he changed his mind and thought that since the other party was a prince, he had been pampered and clothed since he was a child, so he should not be able to bear the hardship of practicing martial arts. It was basically impossible for him to train to the point of training himself to death.
Based on this idea, he no longer persisted.
"If you want to practice martial arts, you must first know what martial arts is! This is what my master who taught me when I was a child said."
He Chong distanced himself from Su Leng and began to explain: "The so-called martial arts is actually about being superior in fighting with others! And this includes two parts, namely skills and physical fitness!"
"Whether it's skills or physical fitness, as long as either reaches the peak, you will become a first-class master! If you can train both to the peak, you will be an invincible master in the world!"
He Chong first talked to Su Leng about what martial arts was.
Through He Chong's narration, Su Ling understood that the so-called martial arts in this world are indeed very limited.
There is no internal strength, only pure physical strength and martial arts skills.
The so-called martial arts training is to strengthen the body and practice killing skills, such as understanding the weaknesses of the human body, and then attacking in an unexpected way to maim and kill the opponent.
It's a bit like Su Leng's knowledge of killing techniques in his previous life, but different.
The difference is that the martial arts in this world are dominated by breathing methods.
Breathing methods combined with dietary intake can enhance physical fitness and strengthen the body.
Hearing this, Su Leng became slightly more interested.
"Is there a difference between high and low breathing techniques?"
Su Ling asked He Chong with a look of interest on his face.
"have……"
He Chong replied seriously: "The principle of breathing to strengthen the body is to use breathing to drive the internal organs, blood, bones and other parts of the body to exercise. Different breathing methods will exercise different parts, and the effects will be different.
no the same."
"For example, the breathing method practiced by Xiaguan is mainly to strengthen the kidneys and lungs. This can make Xiaguan's physical strength longer than others, and he can fight for a longer time when fighting with others! And among my guards, some practitioners
The breathing method mainly focuses on tempering the heart. Once a fight occurs, it can explode with amazing strength and speed in an instant. However, this kind of explosion cannot last for long, and a forced explosion is likely to cause heart failure and death."
"Of course, there are also breathing methods that exercise the spleen. This kind of breathing method is mainly for health preservation. After all, the spleen governs transportation, blood circulation, purification, and muscles of the hands and feet. It helps people remove impurities from the body and prevent disasters from entering the body.
Qi. Those Taoist and Buddhist monks usually practice this kind of breathing method."
"Oh? It turns out there are so many ways to practice breathing."
After listening to He Chong's words, Su Leng raised his eyebrows and said: "Then if you practice a breathing method that activates all these parts, wouldn't you be invincible? Or is it that there is no such breathing method, or that practicing breathing method actually has
There is a certain risk. The more parts you exercise, the more likely you are to make mistakes?"
This was his subconscious analysis after listening to He Chong's words.
If the breathing method can exercise all parts, there will definitely be no one who only exercises certain parts.
The only explanation is that there is difficulty or danger involved.
"His Royal Highness Thirteen is wise!"
He Chong first flattered him, and then he handed over his hand and replied: "Before the official said anything, His Highness the Thirteenth Highness had already guessed that he was worthy of being a member of the Zhou royal family! Yes, there are indeed certain dangers in practicing breathing techniques!
"
"Because it involves the internal organs in the body, if the breathing method is not practiced correctly, in the mild case it will cause disorder of the circulation of qi and blood in the body, with bloody air in the breath, and internal injury to the body; in serious cases, it is likely that the organs will rupture and die. Therefore, practicing breathing
When practicing the Dharma, there must be a dedicated master to guide you and point out mistakes in a timely manner.”
"In addition, the more parts of the breathing method are exercised, the more complex the rhythm and rhythm of breathing will be, and the greater the probability of making mistakes. Moreover, this type of breathing method involves too many internal organs. Once practiced incorrectly, it will be doomed.
, it’s basically a dead end!”
After talking about it, the expression on He Chong's face became extremely serious.
However, when his words fell on Su Ling's ears, what he received was another piece of information.
Su Leng said with a thoughtful look on his face: "In other words, is there really such a breathing method that exercises the whole body's internal organs?"
"..."
He Chong looked at Su Leng and was speechless for a while.
I've been talking about the dangers of breathing techniques for a long time, and you've experienced this?
If the other party was not a prince, he would really want to slap him in the face.
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.
The other party is the royal family, and he is just a little captain of the guard.
He Chong, who had nothing to do with Su Leng, could only reply honestly: "Yes! There is indeed such a breathing method! At that time, he followed Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was known as the first warrior of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luo Hong, General Luo! He practiced it
The 'Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method' is the top breathing method that can exercise all the internal organs!"
"This breathing method is now placed in the royal library, but no one dares to practice it. This is because, except for General Luo Hong, everyone who has practiced this breathing method has made mistakes. With good luck,
If you lose your limbs and body, you will never be able to walk or move again in this life; if you are unlucky, you will die suddenly on the spot when something goes wrong."
After saying that, He Chong stared at Su Ling and said, "Your Highness, Thirteenth Highness, you must not steal your lessons! Otherwise, you will die!"
He really didn't want to involve the whole clan because of this, so he had to give instructions again and again.
Seeing his nervous look, Su Leng comforted him and said, "Don't worry, He Guards, I'm also afraid of death."
Hearing this, He Chong felt a little relieved.
After that, He Chong continued to explain the techniques of martial arts, while Su Leng listened attentively.
About half an hour later, He Chong finally finished explaining the theoretical knowledge and began to teach Su Ling personally.
"His Thirteenth Highness, the breathing method practiced by Xianguan is called the 'Jingui Breathing Method'. Among the five elements, the lungs belong to gold and the kidneys belong to water. The meaning of Jingui refers to these two."
He Chong first practiced the rhythm and rhythm of the breathing method he practiced, and then explained in detail the key points to pay attention to. Then he asked Su Ling to practice while he watched and corrected any mistakes.
Su Leng watched the opponent carefully while he was practicing and listened to the opponent's detailed explanation.
When He Chong asked him to practice, he started practicing according to his memory, using the rhythm and rhythm taught by the other party, as well as various precautions.
