Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Chapter 84 ask for advice
"Do you have Uncle Li's contact information?"

Although I met him several times, Chen Ze really never asked for Lipingjun's contact information.

"Yes, are you looking for Uncle Li?" Gu Kaiping stood up holding his waist.

"Well, you can send it to me directly."

Soon, Chen Ze got Li Pingjun's mobile phone number and WeChat, and sent a friend request.

Unexpectedly, the friend application was quickly approved, and Chen Ze expressed his willingness to chat face to face with a few pleasantries.

In this regard, Li Pingjun directly sent an address, saying that he is free now.

The old man played WeChat very smoothly. Chen Ze looked at the time and agreed immediately.

"You practice slowly, I have to leave beforehand."

"Oh!" Gu Kaiping responded.

Wuguan parking lot, inside the car.

"The wicked map is navigating for you."

Chen Ze from the Park Hyatt Hotel started the car while muttering.

More than half an hour later, Chen Ze arrived at his destination.

After parking the car, he glanced at his phone. It was past eleven o'clock. Chen Ze stopped delaying and walked to the appointed place.

The green bamboo at the entrance of the hotel is shaded, and the lobby is the lobby through the brass moon gate full of Jiangnan style. The sharp-eyed Chen Ze saw Liping Army standing not far away at a glance.

"Uncle Li!" Chen Ze walked up in three steps at a time, "Why bother you to come out and pick me up."

"Hehehe, no trouble." Li Pingjun always looked amiable, and at this moment he was admiring a landscape painting several meters high.

"Beyond the mountains, the green mountains and rivers flow forever." After Li Pingjun finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Chen Ze carefully.

"You mean?"

"It's nothing, it's just the name of this painting." Li Pingjun approached and squeezed Chen Ze's shoulder kindly, "Let's go, eat something first."

After taking the elevator with Li Pingjun, Chen Ze followed to a Cantonese restaurant on a certain floor. The word "Rongge" was written on the dark door at the entrance.

The ambiance of the restaurant is tranquil and elegant, with precious wooden decorations everywhere.

Master Li must like it very much here. Chen Ze suddenly had a wonderful idea in his heart.

"Uncle Li, this is too much for you." As soon as he was seated, Chen Ze felt emotional.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how come I'm a mother-in-law." Li Pingjun scolded with a smile, brought the menu and ordered all the dishes for Chen Ze directly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Ze put the topic on the right track and repeated what Hu Mingjun said before.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" Li Pingjun couldn't stop laughing, "That old boy is quite crazy!"

"Then what do you think, Uncle Li?" Chen Ze picked up a glass of water and moistened his throat.

"Health, I don't know." Li Pingjun began to stroke his beard, "but about martial arts, I think he's quite right."

"Struggle!" Li Pingjun slapped the table, "Well said!"

"Hello, this is the black pepper beef ribs you ordered." At this time, the waiter brought up a plate of dishes.

All kinds of dim sum dishes are presented one after another on the wooden table.

"Eat, we don't pay much attention to martial arts." Li Pingjun had already moved his chopsticks.

Chen Ze also put a piece of tender and juicy bone-in meat into the bowl,

"Uncle Li, have you ever seen Uncle Hu perform the Vajra Longevity Kung Fu?"

"I've seen it, but I can't see through it."

Before Chen Ze could ask, Li Pingjun continued,
"If you say it's not a martial art, but it's vigorous everywhere, and the emphasis on strength is far beyond ordinary kung fu."

"But if you want to call it a martial art, it doesn't have any moves against the enemy, and it's vigorous everywhere but it's not systematic. It's like a mess of sand."

"If I have to say it, I always feel that it is like a semi-finished product? It's a bit pieced together."

With a plop, the ribs that Chen Zegang picked up slipped into the soup.

Semi-finished products?A flash of lightning suddenly flashed across Chen Ze's mind, and he seemed to have grasped something key.

"It's not just strength and movement." Li Pingjun grabbed a crispy squab without caring about the image, "There is also a strange thing."

"Uncle Li, please explain in detail." Chen Ze also gradually let go of his hands and feet, and moved over a plate of chicken feet in soy sauce.

"Breathing." Li Pingjun seemed to be able to point out things that Chen Ze had ignored. "The Vajra Longevity Kung Fu has no supporting breathing method. This is the most strange point."

Breathing, Chen Ze thought while chewing on a piece of honey-glazed barbecued pork.

Regarding Vajra Longevity Kung Fu, the information available on the Internet all say that you only need to breathe normally during the practice, and even Master Zhang Zhishun's explanation did not mention this point.

It's almost like deliberately ignoring this aspect, it's hard not to make people think too much.

The way of breathing is very important in traditional martial arts, and almost all major schools have their own unique breathing methods.

Breathing sounds mysterious, but it is actually very common.

Take "lifting Qi" as an example, which is a chest-style deep inhalation method in which the abdominal wall is retracted and the chest cavity is expanded as much as possible.After inhalation, the diaphragm contracts, which increases the intra-abdominal pressure, and the airflow rises from the bottom, which can raise the center of gravity of the person and is conducive to rising into the air.

In martial arts, inhalation is generally used to coordinate the take-off of jumping and somersaulting movements.

Another example is "Shen Qi", which is a typical abdominal breathing method.Through the up and down movement of the diaphragm, the chest is widened and the abdomen is full.The so-called refreshing and lowering the qi, sinking the qi and sinking the dantian, translates to this meaning.

Some low-posture movements in martial arts, such as stepping through palms, sweeping legs back and forth, sitting on a plate and resting, etc., all use this method of breathing with low breath to cooperate with the body to lower the center of gravity, so as to achieve the purpose of a solid foundation and a rock-solid foundation .

In addition, there are breath-holding, breathing, etc., which are actually the same thing, not as mysterious as imagined.

The so-called breathing methods of different schools are actually some permutations and combinations of exhalation and inhalation in order to cooperate with different movements. Different breathing rhythms can assist the body to make different movements, so as to better exert strength.

This is true in martial arts, but breathing is the most important thing in health-preserving exercises.

The so-called nourishing qi, this "qi" often refers to the gas that enters and exits during breathing. Through the cooperation of breathing and body shape, the effect of strengthening the body can be achieved.

Therefore, the effect of Vajra Longevity Kung Fu is so excellent, yet there is no content about breathing method, which makes Chen Ze very puzzled.

"Uncle Li, do you know anything about health-preserving exercises such as Wuqinxi and Baduanjin?" Chen Ze said as he picked up another piece of sauced money belly.

Crisp but not rotten, delicious and delicious.

"Baduanjin, Wuqinxi?" Li Pingjun replied after a little thought, "I understand a little bit, what do you want to ask?"

"Do you consider them martial arts?"

"You can't put them together."

"Why?"

Upon hearing this, Li Pingjun put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a piece of paper and wiped his hands carefully.

"Look, what is this?" He compared his hands to claws.

"Tiger Claw." Chen Ze replied without thinking.

"What genre?" Li Pingjun held the tiger's claws and made a few more movements.

"Xingyi."

"Yes." Li Pingjun retracted the tiger's claws, "but in Wu Qin Xi, it is also called Tiger Opera."

"What is this?" Li Pingjun put on a posture again.

"Crane shape?" Chen Ze was a little uncertain.

"In the five-animal show, it is also called bird play." Li Pingjun said, changing his hands again and again, dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, 鼍, chicken, swallow, harrier, snake, eagle, bear and so on. The master of martial arts.

"In Wu Qin Xi, I can see a lot of shadows of traditional martial arts, but through trade-offs, the offensive and defensive movements are removed, and some Daoyin techniques are added."

"Daoyin technique?" Chen Ze also heard Hu Mingjun mention this term last time.

"That's right, it's the qigong practiced by the ancients." Li Pingjun started to move his chopsticks again,
"Compared with Wuqinxi, Baduanjin has more Daoyin skills."

"The Yi Jin Jing is almost entirely about Daoyin."

"Yi Jin Jing?" Chen Ze expressed doubts with his eyes.

"It's also a health-preserving exercise. I don't know much about it." Lipingjun shrugged.

Chen Ze bowed his head and said nothing, but silently screened these nouns over and over again in his mind.

Wuqinxi, Baduanjin, Yijinjing, which one can help you explore the mystery of Vajra Longevity?

"Actually." Seeing his appearance, Li Pingjun nodded again, "I don't think you should just focus on health-preserving exercises."

"Compared to those health-preserving exercises, I think Neijiaquan is more similar to the Vajra Kungfu you practice."

"Neijiaquan?" Chen Ze raised his head.

　Sorry for being short and weak, I don't have the face to ask for further reading.

　　Because these chapters involve the underlying logic, I must be cautious in order not to collapse in the future, so I write slower than a snail.

　　Bow to everyone again.
