Chapter 5 Concentration(1/2)
Ji Aojian was really shocked when he heard that the monks in Shaolin Temple could put seven bowls of water on their bodies while standing in a stance. "It seems that the martial arts of Shaolin Temple are much more skillful than our family. Do I have to put seven bowls of water to catch up with them in the future?"
He spoke a little longer, and felt the big bowl of water on his head swaying slightly, and hurriedly kept silent.
"Being able to put seven bowls of water while standing in a stance is naturally of great benefit to the spiritual cultivation."
Ji Xiaosu said, "Brother, don't worry, there are many changes in the Qingtian stake in my Ji family. I don't force seven bowls of water to put on. What you are practicing now is the most basic flat pile, and there are also water piles, immediate piles, and floating cloud piles. As long as these piles can be practiced well, a bowl of water is enough."
Still need to stand on the water immediately?
Ji Aojian thought to himself that this is not an ordinary difficulty, and being able to stand firm is enough.
But the floating cloud stake is really hard to imagine. Could it be that it is tied to a kite and standing on a stake?
He was thinking about it here, and suddenly he felt that the green bowl on his head was about to shake again. He quickly put aside his distractions and focused his mind and stabilized.
"The blue sky above my head is not only to stabilize my body, but more importantly, it is to always concentrate when practicing stakes."
Ji Xiaosu said, "After standing for a long time, some people will inevitably feel drowsy. If you put a bowl of water on your head that will fall off at any time, you will not dare to think about it randomly. You always put your mind on this bowl of water, which forces you to concentrate."
"No matter what you do, as long as you can concentrate on it, you can do better."
This concentration is actually concentration. Just like during class, the teacher always makes us concentrate. Only when we concentrate, study and training will have better results.
If a person develops a focused attitude in doing things and is dedicated when doing other things, his achievements will definitely be higher than those of ordinary people.
Ji Aojian thought of a fable in his previous life, that some people built a house for their whole lives, but they were still construction workers; some people built a house for their whole lives, but they became architects.
The difference between being attentive and not being attentive is like a barrier between heaven.
If you focus on any business for twenty years, nothing will be done in the world.
Ji Xiaosu said, "If you practice qigong seriously, you will also train your mind. If your mind is highly focused, you will be more courageous and diligent in practicing qigong."
"Our Ji family practices spiritual practices the mind and will. The first step is to concentrate. Concentration means to achieve the eight words "careful and concentrating."
"If you can persist in standing for these two hours, your will and perseverance will be naturally trained."
Standing at the moment, Ji Aojian already felt a hot feeling in his body surge from bottom to top, which was the natural heat generated after the acceleration of qi and blood.
After a long time, Ji Aojian began to feel a burst of soreness on his legs, and his whole body couldn't help but shake slightly.
The bowl above the head kept trembling. As time went by, the soreness on the legs became more and more serious, and the "blue sky" on the head seemed to collapse at any time. Ji Aojian breathed a sigh of relief and insisted on it. After a long time, the soreness on the legs gradually dissipated.
Sweat on his head was like rain, "Xiao Su, how long have I been standing?"
"Half an hour has passed."
Ji Aojian was very dissatisfied, "It's only half an hour..."
The pain of standing in a stance just now is actually the same as the feeling of being at the extreme of a long-distance running. As long as you survive this extreme, you can hold on for a while.
However, the interval between the next extreme will become shorter and shorter. Now only one quarter of the two hours Ji Aojian has to stand in a stance. The remaining extremes will appear more than three times, at least four or five times.
Anyway, practicing qigong is about hurting oneself. The greater the damage, the better the effect. Ji Aojian thought: Is it more uncomfortable to stand in a stance, will it suffer more than those days when my heart and lungs are injured?
He felt even more ruthless in his heart, and he survived twice in a row. But when the fourth extreme came, he couldn't control the tremor of his body. The green bowl on his head suddenly tilted over and fell to the ground and smashed it. At the same time, it also sprinkled cold water on his face.
However, Ji Aojian's whole body was soaked in hot sweat at this moment. Drinking this bowl of cold water made him feel much more relaxed.
Ji Xiaosu shook his head and said, "Brother, the sky has collapsed."
Xiao Xun also said, "Young Master, the sky has collapsed."
Ji Aojian was speechless: I just fell a bowl. Is it necessary for you two to show such a serious expression?
Ji Xiaosu disagreed when he saw that he was a little dissatisfied, "Brother, can you still concentrate when the sky falls?"
Ji Aojian suddenly realized that if he wanted to concentrate, he had to have a goal. Now there was a water bowl that could fall off at any time. Why did he "be careful and concentrate"?
Ji Xiaosu waved his hand and said, "Xiao Xun, come and bring another bowl of Qingtian." He said to Ji Aojian again, "Brother, this bowl is really expensive."
Ji Aojian blinked, "Do you want me to think that this bowl is very precious and cherish it in my heart, so I can't bear to let it break, so I will be more attentive?"
Ji Xiaosu said, "That's what it means, brother, you are very smart."
After holding a bowl of water again, Ji Aojian asked, "What kind of skills can you develop after you have a successful standing position?"
Ji Xiaosu said, "Standing can relieve qi and blood, and strengthen muscles and bones. If the muscles and bones are pulled apart, you can gather the forces from all over the body and emit the whole body's strength."
"What is whole force?"
Xiao Su flew up and immediately kicked a short sapling in the garden.
"People who have never practiced martial arts have one punch, one punch, one kick, and one kick, and they cannot use the strength of the whole body. However, those who practice martial arts can exert force and concentrate all their strength on the punch and foot, which is the whole force."
Ji Aojian was very yearning for seeing that his sister's slender body could even kick trees, "When can I practice it?"
Xiao Su said, "You could have kicked such a tree and practiced with peace of mind. As long as you persist, within three years, you will be able to practice the Nine Transformations of Qi and Blood and become a first-class master."
On this day, Ji Aojian stood for two hours, but the blue sky above his head was inadequate and collapsed twice.
After standing in a stance, Ji Aojian no longer had the strength to walk back to the house and fell directly to the ground. Ji Xiaosu called two servants and dragged him to take the prepared medicinal bath.
Ji Aojian was drowsy and felt that the smell of the medicine bath was extremely heavy. Rather than taking a bath, it was better to say that he was soaked in the medicine tank and wanted to pickle it into some pickles.
After taking a shower, Ji Aojian was thrown back to the house by his servants and fell on the bed and couldn't get up. Although he felt like the pain of tens of thousands of needles, his fatigue came over and he closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
It was not until the sun was about to set that he was awakened by Xiao Xun desperately, and he barely got up, and ate a meal that smelled more severe than when he was sick. Although he was hungry in his abdomen at this time, the strange smell of the food made him unable to develop an appetite at all.
Ji Ao Jian made a fuss and acted as if he had no sense of taste, so he forced himself to "eat" with a fixed action.
Seeing that he had worked hard, Xiao Xun said, "Young Master, martial arts practitioners are like this when their skills are improving by leaps and bounds. They are like soaking in medicine jars every day."
Ji Aojian nodded, thinking that it was no wonder that martial arts were lost after being learned in later generations. The cost of practicing martial arts to become a first-class master is too high.
When he thought of later generations, Ji Aojian remembered that he had traveled over time. Although he felt that it was during the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was still in the dark in what era he was. So he asked Xiao Xun.
According to what Xiao Xun said, Ji Aojian was first surprised, and then he was overjoyed.
It turned out that the era he was in was the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, but now the Ming Dynasty has regained its country.
The Qing Dynasty in this world was not smooth compared to the world where it was.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, although the Three Feudals were cut off, Taiwan was not restored.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, governance was inadequate and the effectiveness of rectifying the administration was not significant.
By the time of Qianlong Dynasty, the national strength had declined. The various wars that should have been claimed to be the perfect martial arts became a fatal wound on the Qing Empire.
When we arrived at the Jiaqing Dynasty, the world was full of wilderness and rebellion was unstoppable everywhere. The Qing Dynasty retreated outside the pass with its long-destroying Eight Banners soldiers, occupying the three eastern provinces and becoming a local regime.
The Zheng family in Taiwan took the lead in sending the former Ming royal descendants into Beijing, and in name became the co-lord of the world and rebuilt the Ming Dynasty.
After the revival of the country, the central government was naturally very weak. Although the princes and kings who were rebelling against each other in various places respected the Ming Dynasty on the surface, the imperial court could not effectively control it in most provinces.
At the same time, the forces of Jianghuhuimen also developed from underground in the past two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty. Not only did the personnel scale and organizational structure have been tested for a long time, but they also often had the righteous origin of "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty". The connection between Jianghu forces and local vassal forces made it even more difficult for the central government to restore local control.
Although the current situation of the country still seems to be a mess, Ji Aojian is so satisfied that he can't be satisfied anymore.
He was glad that he had traveled to this era when it was supposed to be the Qing Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty restored the country, he didn't have to leave the hairstyle with the "money rat tail" style. Thinking of this, he was happy even if he dreamed.
Xiao Xun didn't understand what Ji Aojian was doing. Seeing him suddenly smiled and pulled half of the food left on the table and ate faster and faster. He couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm very good, very good." Ji Aojian touched his stomach, and his satisfaction was no less than that of driving away those "heroes in the world" yesterday.
He thought in his mind that it seemed that today's era was in the early nineteenth century, and it was the time when the first industrial revolution was about to be completed and the world was in a drastic turn.
For the five good boys who were once devoted to repaying society, can China get rid of the fate of sinking for a hundred years and becoming a semi-colonial? This Ming Dynasty, which has been restored, should be much better in terms of closure than "My Qing Dynasty", and its resistance should be stronger.
However, as a liberal arts student, Ji Aojian has a very good foundation in history philosophy, but he is not a science student after all, and he has no idea of climbing the science and technology tree at this moment.
After all, now I have no connections and no funds. Not long ago, because of financial problems, all the visitors in the village were dismissed.
Moreover, this is a martial arts world. Powerful martial arts means strong force and an extremely important resource. All business activities of social forces and economic organizations ultimately rely on force to escort. My eight sisters can achieve great things by becoming masters of the world.
Tianqing Villa is a top martial arts family, and its martial arts practice efficiency is naturally top-notch. As long as you practice hard and become a master as soon as possible, you will have a broad sky and roads ahead.
If you practice hard on your own, you will become a first-class expert before you are twenty years old. At that time, you will still be in your youth. You will build a force when you go out. If you want to climb a tree of science and technology, you will climb a tree of science and technology. If you want to serve the country and the people, you will serve the country and the people...
As he thought about it, he fell asleep with great satisfaction with his beautiful imagination of his future life.
The next day, Ji Xiaosu was even more surprised when he saw Ji Aojian posing in a posture more energetic than the previous day.
You should know that anyone who engages in intense exercise will have the most severe sequelae after the first three days, especially after the first day.
Although Ji Aojian showed great determination to practice before, Ji Xiaosu thought that after he had suffered the pain after practicing stance on the first day, he would have some palpitations, and it would be difficult to maintain his original strength the next day, and it would take four or five days to recover.
But Ji Aojian's current energy is ten times better than he was eager to try on the first day.
She looked at Xiaoxun with some doubts, but Xiaoxun was looking back with a look of "I don't know either".
It seems that I really want to look at my brother with admiration.
During this two hours of standing stance, although Ji Aojian turned the "blue sky" on his head in the last half of the hour, he reached out his hand in time and caught the bowl.
After practicing the stakes on the third day, the sky never fell.
The next day, Ji Xiaosu no longer comes. It is boring to stand with his brother for two hours. Moreover, Ji Aojian will no longer let the sky collapse, and there will be less fun to look forward to.
More than ten days passed without realizing this cycle of practicing qigong in standing, medicinal bath, eating, and sleeping.
He practiced the stance technique hard every day, and his qi and blood rushing faster, and gradually returned to the skills he had practiced by Young Master Ji, which was better than ordinary people and became more sensitive.
In any case, the original Young Master Ji also had seven or eight years of hard work. If he hadn't abandoned himself, he would have practiced to the fifth turn of Qi and Blood this year.
To be continued...
