Martial Arts Song

Chapter 253: Training the Spleen to Break Limits

After a period of time, Chen Qing resumed his daily practice.

But unlike before, this time his daily practice turned into "sleeping".

Of course, it’s more like torturing yourself than “sleeping”.

He first kept himself in a state of visualization all the time to consume his energy, and then ran around every day to buy things for the Chen family's yard.

I work hard physically and mentally during the day, and when I go to sleep at night, I bought an alarm clock that goes off every half an hour to wake myself up.

In just two or three days, due to insufficient and irregular sleep, he was mentally and physically exhausted and successfully entered a state of "sleep paralysis".

In this state, he successfully regained consciousness, but his body was still in a sleeping mode and he couldn't wake up.

In this mode, he was finally able to get started with the "slow mind" in his method of breaking the limit of "three minds and two intentions".

When time passed April and came to mid-May, Chen Qing's "Three Minds and Two Intentions" limit-breaking method finally reached a critical balance...

……

In May, the "Huhai" completely got rid of the cold, and the temperature began to gradually rise, reaching more than 20 degrees Celsius on a daily basis.

As the temperature rises, the time when daybreak and nightfall begin to become earlier and later.

May 13th.

While it was still dawn, the sky was already showing signs of getting brighter.

However, Chen Qing was still asleep until the sun rose completely. The sunlight shone into the room through the window, shining on him on the bed, making him feel the sun, and then he woke up slowly.

After waking up, he stretched hard and then looked at the newly bought alarm clock on the bedside table.

I saw that the hour hand on the alarm clock had already pointed to past nine o'clock.

"It's been a long time since I slept so comfortably..."

Since the two days at the end of April, when Chen Qing decided to practice "slow mind", his biological clock has been completely messed up.

Therefore, during this period of time, he no longer woke up before dawn under the influence of his biological clock as he did before.

Of course, except for today, he didn't sleep in.

Because he had to maintain the state of sleep paralysis, he couldn't let himself sleep too much.

Until yesterday, when he found that practicing "slow heart" had finally trained his heart to a critical balance, he turned off the alarm clock and had a good sleep today.

He hadn't had a good sleep for a long time, and he slept until around nine or almost ten in the morning.

After checking the time, Chen Qing looked at the [Spirit] value at the bottom of his left eye:
【Fine: 15.27359829】

【Qi: 9.346897434】

【God: 1.801328953】

I started practicing "slow mind" on April 28th, and half a month has passed now.

During the past half month, Chen Qing's [Essence] value increased by 0.26, plus the 0.81 increase during the previous "Happy Heart" stage, reaching the critical balance in heart training.

Although he didn't quite understand the "peace of mind" among the "three minds", since he had trained his mind to the critical balance, he didn't worry too much about it when there were other ways to practice.

Apart from that, his [God] value has been growing steadily, increasing by about 0.16 in half a month to around 1.8.

After looking at the readings of the fundus of his left eye, Chen Qing reached out to the first drawer of the bedside table, took out a mercury thermometer, and then placed it on his abdomen for measurement.

five minutes later.

He picked up the thermometer and shook it, and saw that the scale on the mercury thermometer showed 42.2 degrees.

In half a month, his "qi training" has been steadily improving, from 40.7 degrees to 42.2 degrees.

This is almost the highest temperature of the human body.

Generally speaking, a high fever can kill a person or make him insane. That's about it.

Of course, that's the temperature of the head.

Chen Qing's Dantian Qi Hai temperature in his abdomen is now 42.2 degrees, while other parts of his abdomen are normal. Only a small circle around his abdomen is affected by the 42.2 degrees of the Dantian Qi Hai, which is slightly higher than other places, but only very limited.

After checking his own condition, Chen Qing put the thermometer away and slowly sat up.

"The next step is to train the spleen, the last of the five internal organs..."

Of the five internal organs in the human body, Chen Qing has already trained four, and the next one is the spleen.

After discovering that his heart had reached a critical balance yesterday, he did not start training his spleen immediately. Instead, he had a good night's sleep and made up for the sleep he had missed in the past half month before preparing to start.

I saw him get out of bed very swiftly, then walked to the closet in the corner of the room and opened the closet door.

Then, I saw a row of clothes hanging in the closet, full of them.

Chen Qing stretched out his hands and pushed the hanging clothes to both sides. Suddenly, a keyhole in the closet was revealed.

He immediately took out a small key from a hanging piece of clothing, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it, then slid it to the side. With a "swish", a wooden board around the keyhole was cut open, and a small iron safe appeared behind it.

During the first few days of this half month, Chen Qing took advantage of the early period of practicing "slow mind" to buy a lot of things for the Chen family's yard.

Today, his bedroom is no longer empty with only a bed and a few wooden stools. Instead, it is furnished with a wardrobe, bedside tables, a desk and chair, a table lamp, bookshelves and other furnishings.

It seems to be quite presentable.

It can be said that except for the car, almost everything in the rooms of the Chen family's yard has been furnished.

As for the safe in the closet, Chen Qing bought it and asked carpenter Chen Zhengzhong to install it for him.

After opening the sliding door of the wardrobe, Chen Qing raised his hand and twisted the twist lock of the safe several times. When he heard a "click" sound from the safe, he pulled back and opened the door of the safe.

As the door of the safe embedded in the wardrobe opened, the structure inside was revealed.

Although this safe is small, about the size of a bedside table, it is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower.

The bottom layer is stacks of bundled banknotes.

On the middle layer, there are neatly arranged old books.

As for the top side, it was empty, with only an envelope.

That was the letter Huang Xunhu had left for him.

Chen Qing raised his hand, reached into the middle layer, and took out the neatly arranged books.

There are six books in total, five of which are methods to break the limits of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and the other one is "Yun Ge's Collection of Essays".

Chen Qing searched through them and found two books without titles, then put back the four books with titles, "Yun Ge Wen Ji", "Golden Toad Swallowing and Spitting", "Three Hearts and Two Minds", and "Hungry Food Extremes". Then, he opened one of the two books without titles.

When he saw the title of the book on the cover was "On the Development and Application of Breaking the Limits of Kidney", he immediately closed the open book and put it back into the safe. Then he closed the safe, took another book without a title, returned to the bed, sat down against the headboard, and began to read.

The "method of training the spleen to break limits" he obtained, like the "method of training the kidneys to break limits" he obtained, are both research record reports of the type of research reports, not the secret manuals of ancient kung fu.

That's why he did what he did just now.

First use the title to exclude the other four books, and then look at the contents of the title pages of the two books without titles to eliminate the "kidney training" method of breaking the limit.

"Regarding the development and application of the spleen beyond its limits... this title is really the same."

Looking at the title on the cover of the book in his hand, Chen Qing sighed in his heart.

This method of breaking the limit by "training the spleen" looks the same as the method of breaking the limit by "training the kidney" that he had obtained from the Qianyang military before.

I guess they all come from the same research institute.

Come to think of it, after all, his two books on breaking limits were obtained from Qianyang's "Security Bureau", so it is normal for him to obtain research reports from the same research institute.

Without any further hesitation, Chen Qing continued to turn the pages.

"According to research, the spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the human body and has the functions of hematopoiesis, blood storage, removal of aging red blood cells and immune response."

"If you want to effectively exercise the spleen, you can stimulate its main functions from both inside and outside. Externally, you can expose yourself to sunlight for a long time and exercise excessively to stimulate the spleen's function of removing old red blood cells. You can also get a minor illness to stimulate the spleen's immune function."

"Internally, you can use blood-replenishing soups and appropriate blood-letting to stimulate the spleen's ability to produce and store blood. However, it is difficult to grasp the subtle degree, and there is no good way for the time being. Therefore, remember to use this method with caution..."

The chapter begins by introducing the functions of the spleen in the human body, and then gives a brief overview of how to practice it.

The following content is about the various phenomena observed after some people practiced this method, both good and bad.

Finally, at the bottom of this research report on spleen exercise breaking limits, there is a sentence summarizing it:
"…Although the risk of spleen training is high, after breaking the limit, the human body can resist the invasion of many diseases and delay the aging of the body. In ancient medical books, it is called 'immunity to all diseases'."

After Chen Qing read it carefully, he suddenly became thoughtful.

"Excessive exposure to sunlight... Indeed, long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays and excessive exercise will indeed cause aging..."

"It is also feasible to stimulate the spleen's immune function by contracting a minor illness..."

"As for the coordination of internal replenishing decoctions and the subtle difficulty of proper bloodletting, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to master it. Once overdoing it, it is very likely to hurt yourself. But for me, this is not a big problem."

Based on the knowledge from his previous life, Chen Qing referred to the training methods in this book and found that there was nothing wrong with this method of training the spleen to break the limits.

Whether it is external training methods or internal training methods, they are more or less based on evidence and are not made up.

It is this miraculous power of the spleen, “immunity to all diseases,” which seems to be a passive skill.

Moreover, after Chen Qing "practiced qi", he felt that it somewhat overlapped with his qigong.

"However, the 'Immune to All Diseases' of 'Practice Spleen' and the 'Immune to All Diseases' of 'Practice Qi' should have different principles. With the two combined, my ability in 'Immune to All Diseases' should be much stronger than that of ordinary masters, so it's not a loss."

Thinking of this, Chen Qing began to plan his training based on the method of "Training the Spleen to Break Limits".

But before he could think for long, suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the yard outside.

"Dong dong dong."

The knock on the door immediately brought Chen Qing back to reality.

He frowned, immediately got up and walked out of the bedroom and came to the yard.

In the yard, Xuan Feng, who was practicing the "Tiger Step", Chen Yang, who was resting on a recliner under the eaves after working in the fields, and Yang Ying, who was cooking in the fire room, all looked at the gate of the yard in surprise.

The knock on the door startled almost everyone in the yard!

Only in the utility room, Chen Zhengzhong, who was making furniture, did not hear the knock on the door because the banging was too noisy, so he did not come out.

"Who?"

Chen Qing frowned and looked at the gate and asked.

Since the Chen family came to "Hu Hai", they have basically had no interactions with anyone, especially after moving here, because there are very few people here, and there is even less interpersonal communication.

Every member of the Chen family is equipped with a key to the courtyard gate, so there is no possibility of knocking on the door.

In addition, everyone in the Chen family was at home, so the knock on the door immediately attracted everyone's attention!
Although they have been in "Hu Hai" for three months, the Chen family still haven't forgotten that they were escapees and their identities are sensitive.

Although Xuanfeng did not know the specific situation of the Chen family, he knew the general situation. He understood that the Chen family came to "Hu Hai" from Qianyang to avoid the trouble caused by Lu Tianyuan and Lu Tianyuan and Uncle Huang of Baihu Hall.

Therefore, he has always been low-key and cautious.

Now hearing someone knocking on the door, he couldn't help but stop practicing and frowned.

"Xiao Lin, it's me."

As Chen Qing asked, a chuckle was immediately heard from outside the door.

When Chen Qing heard the chuckle, his heart suddenly moved.

Although a month and a half had passed, Chen Qing still recognized the owner of the chuckle!

The owner of this chuckle was none other than Luo Zongping, the "great master" who, after completing his mission, crossed over the rooftops of various residential buildings and was discovered by the other party, who secretly observed him for several days!

Why did he come here?

Could it be that he came to check the effectiveness of the guidance on himself and to complete the "practicing the Tao"?
This thought flashed through Chen Qing’s mind.

He learned from Fei Dongtao that the other party used to be a private school teacher in the "Ning Dynasty" and was a good teacher who liked to teach others.

Once you embark on the path of martial arts, this becomes the other person's "Tao".

He was not surprised that the other party could find this place.

When the other party was secretly observing him, the Chen family had already moved here. The other party observed him for several days and knew that this place was normal.

"Here I am, wait a moment."

After answering, Chen Qing walked towards the courtyard gate. At the same time, he waved to Xuanfeng, Chen Yang, and Yang Ying in the yard, then looked towards the house, motioning the three to go in first.

Seeing this, the three of them did not dare to delay and immediately put down what they were doing and went back into the house.

After the three of them returned to the house, Chen Qing came to the gate of the courtyard and opened it.

Outside the door, Luo Zongping, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, was waiting with his hands behind his back, smiling softly.

When Chen Qing opened the door, he first looked Chen Qing up and down, then smiled and said, "Not bad, it seems that your training of the mind has reached the point where your mind and intention are in harmony, very good!"
