Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 54 Passing on the Kung Fu
  As the saying goes: When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something!
  The first time he saw General Man, Jia Rong decided that he was determined to make friends with this man.

So, it's a lot of money to win over, and it's wine and meat. After getting acquainted, Jia Rong felt that the heat was almost there, so Jia Rong went straight and asked for the secret method.

I'm so good to you, so I should show it to you, right?
  For a moment, General Man hesitated.

He is an honest man. As the saying goes, he has a short mouth when he eats people and a short hand when he takes others. Jia Rong is the direct grandson of Jia Jing, the host of Xuanzhen Temple, and sends gifts to Xuanzhen Temple every year. More or less, he gets a share.

"If you want to practice martial arts, you should go to a martial arts master. Besides, the ancestor of your family is the founder of the country, Ning Guogong, so he should be good at fighting in battle. Why do you need to find me, someone from outside the country?"

General Man hesitated, still hesitant.

"Mage doesn't know that the fighting ability of that battle formation is the most harmful to the body. There are countless meritorious generals in history, but how many of them finally died? I really admire the mage and want to ask for an opportunity. Please teach me. !”

After saying that, Jia Rong suddenly stood up and wanted to bow to General Man.

Who is General Man, and how dare he accept such a courtesy from Jia Rong? When it was time to board, he panicked. He quickly got up from the stone bench and stopped Jia Rong.

"Master, you don't have to be like this, I'll just teach you."

As soon as he said this, Jia Rong's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Thank you Master."

At this moment, General Man regretted it endlessly, but could not refuse. He could only mutter: "Although you are the direct grandson of the host, you have not joined our Taoist sect, so the alchemy method cannot be taught to you..."

Jia Rong nodded repeatedly.

Alchemy Dafa? He didn't want to become an immortal, so forget it, don't learn, don't learn!
  "Hey, yes, I have an article here called "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu", which is a Taoist external Kung Fu cultivation method. It collects Shaoyang Qi to nourish oneself and practices it for a long time. It can make you live longer and prolong your life. It is suitable for you."

General Man's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Eight Vajra Skills"? It sounds domineering, this is great!
  Outside the Mid-level Pavilion, the wind and snow howled. General Man, drunk, suddenly got up and went to a snowfield a hundred meters away from the Mid-level Pavilion to practice a set of moves.

Jia Rong watched intently from the side.

Sun Rui and others were left in the mid-mountain pavilion by Jia Rong, and they did not dare to approach.

"My set of "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu" is said to have been created by Zhenren Zhang Ziyang (Zhang Boduan of the Northern Song Dynasty). There are eight parts in total. Each part has several changes. There is a formula:
  Put your hands on top to benefit the triple burner.
  The hands and feet, front and back, strengthen the kidneys and waist.

To regulate the spleen and skin needs to be singled out,

The left liver and right lung are like shooting eagles.

Looking back, my heart aches,
  Five labors and seven injuries look back.

The phoenix spreads its wings,
  The two feet are addicted to drinking.

"Practice when the sun rises and sets. Do not practice outdoors when there is rain, strong wind, fog, lightning or other bad weather. Do not practice indoors when there is loud thunder. Do not practice within half an hour after a meal. When you first start practicing Qigong, it’s normal for your body to have reactions, such as pulling out your stomach, feeling chills and sweating, feeling weak or dizzy. Don’t be afraid, just keep practicing, and you’ll get better with practice...”

General Man was a serious man. He said he wanted to teach Jia Rong, and he actually taught him the secrets of his skills.

Not only did he teach Jia Rong every move, he also taught him the secrets of dark energy and qi and blood. He also talked about many taboos in practicing martial arts, which opened up a new world for Jia Rong.

"Is this the legendary Taoist Mysterious Kung Fu?"

Jia Rong was in high spirits and listened very carefully. For fear of missing any sentence, he had to ask General Man to speak slowly and understand everything before moving on to the next action.

Fortunately, Jia Rong has a good understanding.

Each movement in "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu" is also very simple, just like doing gymnastics. After practicing it only once, Jia Rong memorized the details.

But just trying to practice for the first time made Jia Rong's eyes light up, she experienced an unprecedented feeling, and she became even more interested.

"hiss……"

After practicing the preparatory poses for three times, it was still fine. When Jia Rong started the first movement, his feet suddenly became numb, and a wave of hot air flowed up. When he spread his arms, he could clearly feel the flow of qi and blood in his fingertips.

In the snowy and icy environment, there was a stream of heat pressing against the fingertips of his hands.

"Don't be anxious, wait a moment, let the energy and blood rush over, then turn over and stand up..."

General Man is still teaching the details carefully. Immediately afterwards, Jia Rong raised his arms flatly, as if forming a cross. The meridians throughout his body were opened, and Jia Rong could clearly feel the existence of the meridians in his body.

It's amazing!

Then Jia Rong's abdomen felt numb, as if she had lost consciousness, and all the energy in her body gathered in her entire abdomen.

"Is this the legendary Dantian?"

Jia Rong was shocked.

He originally thought that the 'Dan Tian' mentioned by Taoists was just a certain acupuncture point. Or a small part. Unexpectedly, my entire lower abdomen felt numb.

It's amazing.

At this moment, he truly understood the meaning of the first part of "Putting both hands on top to activate the triple burner". Sure enough, if you practice it, the Qi of the three burners will be transported.

Jia Rong's eyes were bright and she practiced more and more vigorously.

I don't know how long it took, but after Jia Rong finished practicing the "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu", he was sweating profusely, and the rich heat evaporated in the snow. Looking from a distance, it looks like it is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it is a fairy!
  "Don't be anxious, rub your hands and feet to let the blood calm down."

After practicing a set of movements, Jia Rong could no longer move. His whole body was numb and he lost consciousness.

******
  At this moment, Jia Rong could clearly feel the flow of qi and blood, and his skin was "swollen" on his fingertips and toes.

This is not an illusion!
  But it was true, he saw this magical scene with his own eyes.

Jia Rong's eyes flashed, and she suddenly became more curious about the "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu". She also changed from "suspicious" to "believing" in the Taoist cultivation method.

"Maybe, the Taoist cultivation method is really mysterious! Even if I can't become an immortal, it can still strengthen my body and let me live a few more years."

General Man warned him not to be afraid.

After a while, Jia Rong's qi and blood calmed down, and she regained consciousness in her hands and feet. He took a long breath, his eyes were clear and alert, and his whole person was full of energy.

Is this what practicing Qigong feels like? It's so amazing!

"Master, how come this "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong" looks a bit like "Eight Sections of Jin"?"

Suddenly, Jia Rong asked a question.

"Ha ha."

General Man smiled and said: "This set of "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong" and "Eight Sections of Brocade" have the same origin. It had its prototype as early as the Tang Dynasty. By the Song Dynasty, it had been circulated in many ways. The real Zhang Ziyang was based on the predecessors Above, based on profound Taoist cultivation, it is this set of "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong" that brings forth the new.

"As for the secular "Ba Duan Jin", due to differences in each sect and personal practice, the mental methods and movements are also different."

After General Man finished explaining the origin of the "Eight Parts of Diamond Art", he also carefully analyzed the mysterious differences between it and "Ba Duan Jin". And his own brilliance.

Jia Rong suddenly realized.

"After working on it for a long time, it turns out that "Ba Duan Jin" is a simplified version of "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong"? I really found a treasure. "Ba Duan Jin" is so famous, and the authentic Taoist "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong" will be What kind of effect will it have? I’m really looking forward to it!”

So, I listened more seriously.

******
  Attached is a table from "Ba Duan Jin":
  Both hands hold the three energizers of heavenly principles,
  Opening the bow left and right is like shooting a vulture.

Raise the arm to regulate the spleen and stomach.
  Five labors and seven injuries, look back.

Accumulating fists and glaring with anger to increase strength,
  Climb the feet with both hands to strengthen the kidneys and waist.

Shake your head and tail to get rid of the anger in your heart,
  Behind the scenes, all kinds of diseases will disappear.

……

PS: The above-mentioned experience of practicing Qigong is not fabricated, but the author’s personal experience of practicing Qigong. The "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong" is indeed mysterious. Especially the first practice has the greatest response. Those who are obese, have poor body resistance, or are office workers can try to practice.
