Rich girl super master

Chapter 193 Learning to Meditate
The old man didn't let Li Xingyun move, and he didn't dare to move. He spent more than two hours sitting on pins and needles, until a girl came up from the foot of the mountain with a lunch box, and the old man said, "Okay, it's time to eat!"

Li Xingyun stretched his muscles and bones, got down from the stone, and looked at the old man with an aggrieved expression. He still doesn't know the name of the old man.

The girl who delivered the meal was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looked very fresh, looked at Li Xingyun a little bit, did not speak, put the lunch box on the stone table, and said: "Master Patriarch, haven't you been bigu these days? "

"The rice is for this kid!" the old man laughed.

"Oh!" The girl stood with her hands down, very quiet, but from the corner of her eyes, she kept scanning Li Xingyun.

The food was very simple, one soup, one vegetarian, and one meat. Li Xingyun drank a bowl of soup first, and then started to gobble it up.

After wiping his mouth, Li Xingyun smiled at the little girl, "Thank you little girl!"

The girl pursed her lips and said nothing. After clearing the bowl, she bowed to the old man and went down the mountain.

Li Xingyun looked at the old man and said, "Master, what does Bigu mean?"

"Bigu means not eating, just drinking water to rest the stomach and intestines. I do bigu for seven days a month, and today is the fourth day!" the old man explained.

Li Xingyun was a little surprised. Ordinary people don't eat for seven days and only drink water. They probably starve to death, but this old man is still full of energy. Could it be because of his profound skills?
"Are you blaming me for letting you sit there?" The old man smiled.

How dare Li Xingyun admit it, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no!"

"Hahaha...boy, you still dare to lie in front of me? Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore, have you ever squatted on a horse?"

Li Xingyun nodded: "Squat!"

"Squatting horse stance is the foundation of exercising your body. Meditation is the way to cultivate your soul. In fact, health preservation is very simple. You don't need to practice too many complicated things. As long as you squat well and learn to sit and meditate, then you will You will be immune to all diseases and live a long life!"

"Then how to meditate?" Li Xingyun wondered.

"Practice pays attention to movement and stillness. Meditation is to exercise your static power. In ancient times, the ancestor Bodhidharma faced the wall for three years, which shows the profoundness of his static power! So, what is meditation? Meditation means annihilation; thinking means you Meditation is to get rid of the thoughts and thoughts you want, and find the perception."

Li Xingyun half-understood, felt very mysterious, but felt very reasonable, and wondered in his heart: "Master, is it possible to enter a meditative state just by meditating? But why do I feel uncomfortable sitting for a long time?"

"Hehe, I didn't teach you anything. If you can enter the state of meditation when you come up to meditate, then you will be called a god. Don't worry. Meditation is just one of the ways to enter meditation. After you master this foundation, you can use it anytime, anywhere. You can enter a state of mindless meditation, in this state, you rest for an hour, which is worth three or four hours of sleep, and it is of great benefit to the recovery of body and mental strength!"

"Actually, entering the state of meditation is not only of great benefit to those who cultivate spiritual power, but also to those who practice internal martial arts and external kung fu!"

"Then, how can I enter meditation? What does it feel like in the meditation state?" Li Xingyun asked.

The old man smiled: "You should have heard the phrase 'Tao can be Tao, very Tao', the state of meditation cannot be expressed in words, you can only experience and perceive it yourself!"

"Uh..." Li Xingyun frowned.

The old man continued: "There are many ways to enter meditation. Before that, let me tell you about meditation! Our physical body has controllable and non-controllable parts, such as moving the body, blinking, inhaling , Holding your breath, are all things you can control, and the things that are not controllable, including the growth of nails and hair, are beyond your command and control.”

"The method of entering meditation in our Chinese heritage is generally from tranquility to tranquility, starting from practicing meditation; but there is also a method from movement to tranquility in ancient South Asian yoga. Both have their merits, and follow me Come!"

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the room.

Li Xingyun hurriedly followed and entered the back room together.

The door was closed, the room was very dark, and the old man lit a candle.

"Look at it, don't blink!" said the old man.

Li Xingyun didn't know why, so he kept staring at the slightly shaking candle, but after a long time, his eyes couldn't take it anymore, and he wanted to blink.

The old man reminded again: "Don't blink, stick to it!"

As long as Li Xingyun resisted blinking, after he persisted, he would find that he would not feel awkward without blinking.

The room was silent!
Li Xingyun stared and stared, his head slowly stopped thinking, as if he had been hypnotized, but it didn't look like he was hypnotized. There seemed to be a mysterious energy emerging and flowing in his brain!
Suddenly, the candle was extinguished, and Li Xingyun woke up suddenly. It felt like he fell asleep, and it seemed that it had been a long time!
"How do you feel?" the old man asked.

Li Xingyun shook his head foolishly: "No!"

"That's right, you have entered a semi-meditative state just now!"

"How long has it been?"

"1 minutes!"

"Uh, only 1 minute?"

"Do you feel your body is very relaxed? Your mental power is suddenly much stronger?" the old man laughed.

Li Xingyun nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it feels like I fell asleep, like a two-hour lunch break!"

"Haha... This is the benefit of meditation, it's a way to move into stillness!"

"Is it just staring at the candle?"

The old man slapped Li Xingyun on the forehead: "It seems that I told you so much just now, but you didn't take it to heart at all. This is going from movement to stillness, from controllable to uncontrollable state. This is also the easiest way to meditate!"

Li Xingyun scratched his head: "Hey... Patriarch, I understand, does it mean that when a certain controllable part of the body enters a limit state, the body will automatically go into tranquility?"

The old man nodded with a smile: "Not bad, he has a bit of a brain!"

"No wonder those eminent monks or old Taoists on TV still break their fingers when they are meditating! Fingers are controllable parts, breaking them to the limit, from pain to numbness, from movement to stillness, it is easier to combine movement and stillness Get into a meditative state, don't you?"

"Not bad!" The old man became more and more satisfied.

Li Xingyun suddenly thought of another question, and said pleasantly: "Master, I watched a TV before. There was a martial arts master on the TV. Don't let the bad guys catch him and try to torture him to extract a confession, but that master hypnotized himself and fell asleep. If you let the bad guys beat him, even if he doesn't wake up, he should be in a meditative state, right?"

The old man nodded: "That's right, it was in a state of deep meditation, and all thoughts and perceptions were wiped out. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were many martial arts practitioners in our country. In a state of meditation, some of them were killed by little devils in this state!"

Li Xingyun gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "The little devil is nothing!"

"Let's not talk about that today, come out with me, squat, let me see!"

After the two left the room, Li Xingyun also squatted down.

The old man only took one look, then his eyes lit up, and said: "Who did you learn this horse stance from?"

"An old man from my hometown!"

"That's right, that's right. It seems that there are hidden masters among the common people. Keep squatting down. I will assist you to enter the meditation state while you are squatting!"

"Can you enter meditation while squatting?" Li Xingyun was surprised.

"Everything is possible. If you have practiced martial arts to a very high level, you must pay attention to walking, sitting and lying down!"

Li Xingyun nodded.

"Next, I'll tell you another method of contemplating breathing into meditation, pay attention to regulating breathing!"

……

Time flies, the sun has set, the sky is dark, and the mist descends, covering the entire island. The silky water vapor sets off the stone house halfway up the mountain like a Taoist temple.

Although Li Xingyun squatted all afternoon, he was not in such pain as in the past, let alone listless, but full of energy.

The old man was quite satisfied with Li Xingyun's results, and sent Li Xingyun down the mountain after dark.

Back in his room, Li Xingyun sat down cross-legged, began to adjust his breathing according to the contemplative breathing method taught by the old man, and slowly entered a state of tranquility.

There were mosquitoes and flies landing on his body, but he didn't feel it, until the mosquitoes and flies were full, they flapped their wings and left.

However, Li Xingyun's quiet time is not long each time, and it can't exceed half an hour at most.

After four consecutive meditations in one night, he was unable to do so again, because he felt that his brain was extremely excited, his mental strength was unprecedentedly full, and even his body was ready to move, and he was unwilling to enter meditation again.

Li Xingyun knew that his foundation was not deep now, and his body was saturated. At this time, when it was time to move, he had to move and force himself into stillness, which was not good.

So, he got out of bed, came to the small courtyard, stretched his muscles and bones, punched him once, and then started squatting again.

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Li Xingyun didn't return to the room until he felt exhausted, and fell asleep in meditation.

At five o'clock the next day, Li Xingyun woke up, refreshed, and after washing up, he trotted all the way up the mountain.

The old man was stretching at the door, and after Li Xingyun arrived, he said with a smile: "Follow me to do a set of health-preserving boxing first!"

"Thank you, master!" Li Xingyun knew that this was the old man who wanted to teach him Kung Fu.

This is even more rare. If you can learn all the skills of master's master, wouldn't you be able to compete with master?

In the excitement, he began to wave his fists and feet with the old man.

In the next few days, Li Xingyun stayed by the old man's side, learning various meditation techniques, as well as some health-preserving boxing and body techniques.

However, Li Xingyun did not learn those fighting skills from the old man, nor did the old man teach him the kung fu of internal and external skills.

But Li Xingyun clearly felt that his skills were growing and his spiritual power was also growing rapidly.
