Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 29 There is something in Dantian
  In the early morning of late autumn, a mist enveloped the earth.

The lake lay there quietly, like a mirror, reflecting the gray clouds and trees in the sky. The breeze blew through, causing ripples.

The mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist, looming, giving people a mysterious and peaceful feeling. It seems that nature has not yet awakened from its deep sleep.

On the grass by the lake, Jiang Sheng was quietly doing a handstand.

Now his physical fitness has reached 10 points, which is already at the peak of ordinary people. This has greatly enhanced his endurance. At the same time, his strength has now reached 8.78, allowing him to barely do handstand push-ups.

But after trying a few times, he stopped because he could feel his breathing becoming erratic.

Haste makes waste, and being too radical is not a good thing!
  He worked hard to maintain his breathing rate, which was maintained at about 15 to 18 times a minute, which was lower than the normal standard of 16 to 22 times for adults.

He listened to his own heartbeat, thump, thump, thump... between 55 and 65 times a minute, which was lower than the normal standard of 60 to 100 times for adults.

From time to time, take a look at the pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature on the smart watch. They are always stable at a good value.

While he was standing on his head for thirty minutes, he saw a car parked on the side of the road in the distance, and then he saw Dong Chenghai get out of the car and walk in his direction.

Looking at someone while standing upside down is quite strange.

"Brother Jiang, good morning!"

"Yeah! Wait a moment."

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Jiang Sheng stood on his head for another three minutes, exceeding his previous longest time, and he could feel that his strength was far from reaching its limit.

He decided to stop anyway, so he started practicing handstand push-ups.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5…

After doing 10 standard handstand push-ups, his breathing and heartbeat became faster, and the directed blood flowed towards his head. He felt that his brain began to be rapidly congested with blood.

I insisted on doing 5 more handstand push-ups, and finally, I couldn't hold it any longer.

He rolled over and stopped, lying on his back on the grass, breathing heavily.

In reality, people who can do handstand push-ups are very good. Dong Chenghai was very envious. He asked: "Brother Jiang, how much do you bench press?"

"I don't know...I haven't tested it yet!"

"Go back to my house and test it out."

There is a professional gym in the basement of his house.

After Jiang Sheng took a short rest and sat up, Dong Chenghai asked: "Brother Jiang, what level have you reached in your pile skills?"

Jiang Sheng gasped and laughed: "I don't understand... Are there levels for pile skills? I haven't heard of it."

Dong Chenghai nodded and said: "There are indeed levels, but not much is known to the outside world. There are six levels in total. The first level takes root; the second level has something in the Dantian; the third level is about to fly; the fourth level is Qi. The blood is surging; the fifth level has no thoughts; the sixth level is pure and infinite."

Dong Chenghai explained to Jiang Sheng the differences between each layer.

"Rooting on the ground means that the body is relaxed and has a sinking and falling feeling, and the feet are like the roots of a big tree extending under the soil."

"Having something in the Dantian means that there must be a sense of Qi in the Dantian. If you don't do it, then no matter how long you stand, it will be a waste of time."

"Being ready to fly means that as you practice Qi for longer and longer, you will develop a feeling of being as light as a swallow, as if you are about to soar into the sky."

"The qi and blood surge means that the qi and blood circulation throughout the body is smoother than before, and the qi mechanism of the five internal organs is correspondingly strengthened. The muscles and marrow are cleansed, and all diseases are prevented."

"Niannianbusheng means that after practicing to this state, you are no longer moved by external objects, not driven by desires, can keep your original mind undefeated, and achieve the tranquility and nothingness mentioned in the "Huangdi Neijing", from which the true energy will flow. Keep your mind within yourself and stay safe from illness? At this level, you are basically on the level of a land god."

"The last level of "Hunhao Wuji", if you can practice this level, your whole body will become one, with no sense of separation of limbs and trunk, the whole muscles will be as one, and you will enter the Wuji state of returning to the origin, returning to the roots and rejuvenating!" After finishing Dong Chenghai's words, Jiang Sheng showed a look of surprise on his face, "I didn't expect that there were so many opinions. What is the highest level of training among the people you know?"

Dong Chenghai said: "My uncle has reached the peak of taking root, and my master, my uncle's master, has reached the third level and is ready to fly."

Afraid that Jiang Sheng would "underestimate" these two realms, he explained: "Don't think this is easy. It is no exaggeration to say that among ten thousand people, it is difficult for one person to truly take root. It’s even more difficult to fly off the ground.”

"For example, taking root from the ground, there is a saying that 'floating in the waves, rising lightly and sinking without turning upside down'. The joints all over the body are alive. Standing there, no matter how strong you are, you can't push it down. "

"There is also the desire to fly, which is complementary to the presence of something in the Dantian. This state can only be achieved after practicing the inner energy!"

"Don't be deceived by the so-called qigong masters on the Internet. In reality, people who can truly develop qigong are very rare. My master is a real martial arts master, and he only has a small amount of achievements."

Dong Chenghai paused for a moment and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, my master has passed away many years ago."

"Uh...that's it."

Hearing Dong Chenghai's words, Jiang Sheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Dong Chenghai remembered his uncle and master for a while, and then remembered to ask Jiang Sheng: "Brother Jiang, do you think you are at the beginning, middle or end of taking root? Which stage are you at now?"

Jiang Sheng touched the sweat beads on his head and said with some embarrassment: "I... probably, maybe, I should have reached what you said is a substance in the Dantian."

Although he still doesn't know yet, how did he develop the sense of Qi? This can only be blamed on the properties panel.

Dong Chenghai: "..."

……

It took Dong Chenghai a long time to digest Jiang Sheng's words.

But his first reaction was that Jiang Sheng was bragging.

"Inner Qi" is a legendary thing that cannot be cultivated except by people with great talent, great wisdom, and great perseverance.

Jiang Sheng, an ordinary office worker, how could he develop Qi sense casually?

"Brother Jiang, you are kidding, right?"

"No, I mean it."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How long have you been practicing Zhuang Kung Fu?"

Dong Chenghai shook his head like a rattle, with an expression on Jiang Sheng's face as if he was "thinking about a fantasy."

Jiang Sheng saw Dong Chenghai's expression and really didn't want to provoke him anymore. He wanted to say that he had been practicing Zhuang Kung Fu since he was a child.

But this kind of thing cannot be hidden from a thoughtful person. If you really want to know whether he is lying, you will know after a little investigation. Besides, Dong Chenghai taught him Chunyang Kung Fu for free and provided him with food and accommodation. It is unjustifiable to deceive others. "Uh... less than a month."

To Jiang Sheng's surprise, when Dong Chenghai heard what he said, he unexpectedly showed an "I understand" expression on his face, "I understand, you are so fake!"

"Ah? What is false sense of energy?" Jiang Sheng wondered.

Dong Chenghai explained with a confident look on his face: "Some people regard the feeling of the breathing muscles in the body as the sense of Qi, some people regard the body's hot and dry body as the sense of Qi, and some people regard the friction of Qi with the epidermis as the sense of Qi, etc. These are all false senses of Qi, or an illusion of mind. I think I have developed the sense of Qi, but in fact it is just a mental illusion after practicing for a long time.”

Jiang Sheng was sure that he was not fake, but he still asked: "Then what is the real sense of energy? What are its characteristics?"

Dong Chenghai said: "The real sense of qi already has a very powerful health care effect. At first, you will feel that your spleen and stomach are powerful and you can eat very well. One meal can be worth two or three meals of others."

"Then the digestive function will be particularly strong. You will have loose stools, but you won't have stomach pain. This is to eliminate toxins from the body. After you have a bowel movement, you will feel relaxed and very refreshed."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng thought to himself: "I am indeed able to eat better and better now, but I don't have loose stools. I just have more stools. Maybe everyone's symptoms are different?"
