Chapter 9: Heavenly Snake Establishes Foundation

The first content is the preface to the general outline of the "Straight of the Heavenly Snake", which is the clear part of the opening chapter. Although it is very important, it has nothing to do with the specific practice. It only explains the basic theory of the cultivation method of the Heavenly Snake Way.

The Changguang Realm text is different from the Water Blue Star text. Because of the memory fragments of Taoist Wang She, Gao Han has no difficulty in reading and understanding it - it even feels very familiar.

But after getting past this part, Gao Han was dumbfounded.

"The Heavenly Snake's Foundation Building Chapter - Tender Muscles and Bones"

From here on comes the main text of the Heavenly Snake Sutra.

They were all images of naked men twisting and turning in awkward postures - it almost blinded Gao Han's titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

These images are extremely exquisite, as if living people have been shrunk and sealed, giving people a strong sense of agility, as if they are twisting and stretching their limbs - precisely because of their exquisiteness, Gao Han feels even more dazzling.

The perfect musculoskeletal figures of these naked men were roughly equivalent to the goddess Venus among women. Gao Han felt ashamed of himself and couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

The actions of these men were too weird. Some of the actions Gao Han thought he could probably complete by gritting his teeth; but some actions were simply too anti-human.

For example, in the ninth image, the arms are required to be extended back at shoulder height, the five fingers of the palm are close together, and the fingers are bent toward the back of the hand - almost 90 degrees.

If your finger is bent to this extent, it will break!

In the thirteenth image, the man in the picture is facing down with his hands and feet on the ground at the same time, but his neck is turned 180 degrees and his face is facing upwards - what is the difference between this and suicide?

As for other images, some head emerges from the crotch, turning the whole person into a ring and rolling forward; the legs are intertwined and the body is twisted into a twist; the whole person is on all fours like a spider crawling forward - falling on its hands and feet.

Lie on the ground with your chest facing up.

This "Tender Muscles and Bones" contains hundreds or even thousands of strange and anti-human body structure postures, and there are countless explanations next to each movement - Gao Han hasn't had time to read this part yet.

The chapter "Softening the Muscles and Bones" alone occupies almost one-third of the content of the "Straight of the Heavenly Snake", and judging from the title of this chapter, it is possible that there are more than just this chapter in the "Straight of the Heavenly Snake".

Gao Han was a little disappointed. Let alone the so anti-human "Tenderness of Muscles and Bones", whether he could master it or not. Even if he could, he probably wouldn't have much content behind it.

You know, Gao Han hopes that after practicing the "Sky Snake Sutra", he can fly to the sky and escape to the earth to live forever like the protagonist in the fairy novel, and live a life of freedom and detachment.

A shy and happy life.

But the name of "Tender Muscles and Bones" clearly tells you that it is part of the foundation-building work, but its thickness accounts for one-third of the entire book, so what is left at the end of the book?

Isn’t the whole book just about foundation-building skills?

Gao Han wanted to open the final content directly.

Let’s take a look at what the “Heavenly Snake Sutra” looks like at the end, after reaching the highest level of practice - although Taoist Wang She has cultivated to the realm of Yangshen, he never said that this “Heavenly Snake Sutra” is the complete version.

However, despite shouting about how to communicate with the Heavenly Snake Ring, the content shown in the Heavenly Snake Ring is always only the content of "Soft Muscles and Bones", and the other scales are dull and unmoved at all.

After repeated tests, Gao Han determined that, for now, the content of the "Sky Snake Sutra" that is open to him is the "Tender Muscles and Bones Chapter", and the subsequent content will not be displayed at all.

Gao Han could only turn back to the beginning of "Soft Muscles and Bones".

After all, the opening chapter of the "Heavenly Snake Sutra" clearly states, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a tree that embraces us grows from a single step." "If you want to reach the sky, you must first build a nine-story tower."

Therefore, Gao Han felt that he should be more pragmatic and start from scratch and do it step by step.

It seems that even cultivating immortality cannot be achieved overnight. You still have to abide by the Basic Law.

The first movement of softening the muscles and bones is to crawl on the ground, put your elbows on the ground, and rely on the strength of your waist, abdomen, elbows, and legs to roll sideways, left, and right, and squirm forward at the same time.

(Roughly speaking, it is to imitate an earthworm crawling forward and turning its body left and right. The details are of course much more complicated.)

This movement is extremely awkward. Although it is not as anti-human as the following movements, it requires lateral rotation and rolling and longitudinal flexion and extension at the same time. It requires the coordination and coordination of many muscles, which is not easy.

If Gao Han hadn't been able to fully understand the meaning through Taoist Wang She's memory fragments, if it were a different person, even if he was given this drawing and detailed instructions, he would never be able to perform these actions exactly as required.

However, although the mind knows how to do it, the body may not actually be able to do it.

Gao Han lay on the bed and twisted his body with difficulty.

In conjunction with this awkward movement, his breathing was sometimes slow, sometimes rapid, and sometimes one breath was divided into several sections that were fast and slow.

Although the posture of this movement is a bit complicated, the amount of exercise is not large.

Gao Han adjusted his body posture and breathing rhythm over and over again. He didn't know how many times he failed. Either his posture was not in place or his breathing was not coordinated well.

Finally, Gao Han completed the action flawlessly.

With Gao Han's last breath, the heat generated by exercise no longer spreads randomly throughout the body, but is guided and restrained by Gao Han's bending body movements, sinking along the spine and into the tail vertebra, and then follows Gao Han's body around.

Swinging, steaming up from the lower abdomen, warming the internal organs, it continues to go up to the throat, but just in time to catch up with the cold body stretch to the end.

Then, Gao Han's body bent again, his abdomen was squeezed, and his mouth opened unconsciously to spit out air.

The heat flow in the body separates at the throat, and part of the essence energy immerses backward into the spine, and then goes down again along the spine to the tail vertebrae, where it merges with the newly generated heat in the body, rises and circulates again, and warms the internal organs.

As for other heat flow impurities, they are taken out of the body with the high-cold exhalation, bringing out a faint fishy smell.

In this way, the heat flow circulates over and over again in Gao Han's body, extracting its essence over and over again, and expelling the impurities out of the body.

Gao Han focused all his attention on his body, trying hard to maintain his breathing rhythm, body posture, and guide the circulation of heat in his body, just like walking on a tightrope, cautiously, as if he were facing an abyss or walking on thin ice.

Gao Han's movements became more and more skillful and louder, his exhalation became faster and more violent, and his voice became shriller.

Unknowingly, his breathing became hissing, like the breath of a giant snake.

——————————————

"Xiaohan?"

I don't know how long it took, but a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Gao Han's ears, pulling Gao Han's consciousness out of the depths of his mental space.

Gao Han felt dizzy.

This is the discomfort caused by consciousness being forcibly pulled out from the depths of the spiritual space and rapidly switching.

This feeling is like being in a deep state of trance and being forcibly interrupted by someone; it is also like being woken up from a dream, which may cause some discomfort.

Gao Han took two breaths to regain his composure. He opened his eyes and saw his mother, He Tian, ​​standing beside the bed with a nervous look on his face.

"Mom, are you back?" Gao Han said hello quickly.

"Xiaohan, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt? Let's go to the hospital quickly." He Tian nervously touched Gao Han's forehead - not only was there no fever, but it was also a little cold.

Gao Han had just been discharged from the hospital. He Tian came back earlier today and was also worried about Gao Han's health.

When he got home, he found his son twisting his body in pain on the bed, hissing and gasping for breath. It didn't look like normal.

"It's okay, Mom, I was just exercising." Gao Han quickly explained.

"Exercise?" He Tian was dubious.

"Yes, Dean Gu promised to help me embark on the path of martial arts, so I will pick up my past skills and practice again in the past two days, otherwise my arms and legs will become stiff!" Gao Han said with a sneer on his face.

When he was in the second grade of middle school, he was addicted to martial arts and practiced blindly by compiling the "Shen Serpent King Sutra". Naturally, he couldn't hide it from his parents. However, at that time, his body was just starting to get stronger, and his parents supported him in exercising - even if he created his own

The "Sutra of the Heavenly Serpent King" is neither fish nor fowl.

‘Pa’ He Tian slapped Gao Han hard on the back.

"What old arms and legs? If you say this in front of your mother and me, you are asking for a beating!" Mother said dissatisfied.

"Hey, mom, you are not old."

Seeing that the matter of practicing the "Sky Snake Sutra" was covered up, Gao Han felt relieved and said with a playful smile.

"Okay, tell mom, what did you and Dean Gu talk about today?"

"It's nothing. I just asked Dean Gu to help my father find a position where he can fulfill his ambitions. In addition, Dean Gu also promised to help me embark on the path of martial arts. I think it will be difficult for me to become a bachelor, but I can still work hard to become a samurai.

Fight for it."

"It's rare that you still think of your father. It's really rare. But you have to think about it. The cost of learning martial arts is a bottomless pit. If you fail to learn, the Gu family will not be able to invest unlimitedly.",

The income of martial arts stars is much higher than that of ordinary movie stars, so martial arts is also a popular industry, but there are very few martial arts people who can truly enter the professional realm.

Just like many people practice long-distance running, but very few become professional athletes.

"Mom, I think I can do it." Gao Han promised.

With the "Heavenly Snake Sutra" as a foundation, I feel confident in the cold weather.

"Xiaohan, you have grown up too. This opportunity was created by yourself. Mom won't say anything about your choice. It's just that you have to work hard and don't live up to this opportunity."

He Tian sat by the bed, gently stroked his son's head like he did when he was a child, and said.

Feeling that his mother's posture was a bit awkward, Gao Han quickly stretched his neck and adjusted the position of his head to make it easier for his mother to touch her.

Seeing his son's actions, He Tian couldn't help but laugh.

————————————————

Xiangzhen Martial Arts Hall is located in the northwest corner of Haixingcheng New District, adjacent to Minghe River, and covers an area of ​​approximately 70 acres.

This was originally a suburb of Haixing City, but as the city gradually expanded, it became the edge of the city.

At the innermost side of the Xiangzhen Martial Arts Hall, there is a gray two-story building.

"Lao Gu, Lao Gu, you are trying to make trouble for me." A middle-aged man said helplessly while leaning on the recliner.

He was wearing a loose white T-shirt and was about 1.9 meters tall. His muscles all over his body were soft and didn't look very strong. He was lying there like a lazy tiger after eating.

"I'm over sixty years old, why should I accept a disciple now? Do you know how much energy it takes to train a disciple from scratch? How can I have the energy? I'll let Zhang He accept him."
