A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

As time went by, Lu Cheng got close to Liefeng, and through close observation and imitation, he constantly adjusted his breathing frequency and intensity, and gradually kept in line with Liefeng's breathing.

Liefeng was a little confused at first when he saw Lu Cheng doing this, but then he realized that his master was learning from him, so he stopped moving and continued to maintain his own breathing rhythm.

Soon, two very similar breathing sounds appeared in the shack.

After half an hour, the two breathing sounds had completely merged into one, as if there was only one breathing.

At this time, as his abdomen rose and fell, Lu Cheng began to feel some subtle changes, as if his muscles and internal organs were all vibrating slightly. This vibration was very mysterious, just like a person who has been practicing running for a long time, he will feel that the cells in his body are breathing and jumping while running, and there is an indescribable sense of pleasure.

At some point, Lu Cheng was completely immersed in this feeling, and did not notice that the sky had darkened.

At this moment, a shout from outside interrupted Lu Cheng: "Master, owner of the manor, are you in there?"

Lu Cheng stood up. He stretched his muscles and bones and responded, "I'm here."

When Lu Cheng walked out of the shack, he saw Wu Song, Lai Fu, Lai Wang and others, with a dozen farmhands, holding sticks, single swords and other weapons, and holding torches.

"Master, it's already dark, and you haven't come back yet. We're a little worried about your safety, so we came to look for you. Are you okay?"

"No, I'm going to train Liefeng more recently to make it more obedient. Let's go back. Laifu, ask Butler Sun to build another room next to this shack. I'll live here for a while."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing that Lu Cheng was fine, the group turned around and returned to Lujiazhuang.

After some previous attempts, Lu Cheng was sure that imitating the sleeping posture and breathing of a tiger could indeed exercise the muscles and internal organs, but the effect was relatively mild and it was difficult for ordinary people to feel it.

Lu Cheng was also able to detect the subtle changes in his body by relying on his physique and mental strength far beyond ordinary people, coupled with top medical skills.

This change is not obvious at present, but if it can be maintained for a long time, it will definitely play an unexpected role.

And for Lu Cheng, the most abundant thing is time.

The density and hardness of tiger bones are several times that of humans, and their ability to withstand blows is far superior to that of humans. Perhaps this is also related to the unique breathing method of tigers.

Shang Yunxiang, a famous martial artist in the Republic of China, once learned the thunder sound of tigers and leopards from cats. Cats, like tigers and leopards, usually hum and hum, and often maintain slight sounds and vibrations in their bodies. People can feel that sound and vibration when they hold a cat in their hands.

Sometimes cats even make sounds like the vibration of a car engine.

Based on the principle of believing it is better to believe it, Lu Cheng has decided to carefully study and imitate this breathing to try to see if he can touch the trick of exercising internal organs and tendons and bones.

When Lu Cheng returned to the manor, Pan Jinlian was waiting for Lu Cheng to come back for dinner with Liu Ruyan, Ji Ruxue, Xia He, Qiu Lan and several other women.

When Lu Cheng returned to the house, Xia He and Qiu Lan hurriedly came up to him, one took the coat that Lu Cheng took off, and the other brought a basin of warm water for Lu Cheng to wash.

Liu Ruyan ran to tell the kitchen to bring the hot food, and Ji Ruxue handed over a hot towel.

It must be said that life is really a pleasure to have a few young and beautiful girls serving at home.

After dinner and washing up, Pan Jinlian thought Lu Cheng would want her tonight, but she didn't expect Lu Cheng to just take out a bottle of pills and hand it to her: "Jinlian, your body is still a little weak, and it's time to grow up. Starting tomorrow, take a pill every day, and then follow me to strengthen your body."

"This... I listen to you, sir."

"Go back and have a good rest first, and take care of your body recently." As he said, Lu Cheng looked down: "You are still a little thinner."

Pan Jinlian heard this and looked down at her chest. She was immediately ashamed, and then a little disappointed. Is she really too thin?

In fact, Pan Jinlian's figure is still very good. Compared with Xia He and Qiu Lan of the same age, she is better, but she is still in the development stage and has not reached the ideal state.

Lu Cheng likes the relatively plump and slightly fat women the most, fat where fat is fat, thin where thin is thin, and

The material is thick and the feel is rich.

In the next few days, when Lu Cheng got up early to exercise every day, he would bring Pan Jinlian and four personal maids with him.

These women are all close people who stay by his side for a long time. It can be said that they will never leave Lu Cheng for the rest of their lives. Lu Cheng will also take proper care of them and improve their physique and loyalty.

In addition, Lu Cheng spends most of his time with Liefeng every day, going out hunting together, imitating Liefeng's breathing, hunting movements, etc.

In fact, Lu Cheng has also learned the Five Animals Exercises before. The Five Animals Exercises include five forms: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird. The tiger form is to imitate the tiger to exercise the body.

It's just that the Five Animals Exercises pay more attention to the training of the appearance rather than breathing and internal organs.

Moreover, ancient people rarely have the opportunity to observe tigers up close, eat and live with tigers, and deeply imitate the breathing frequency of tigers.

After a few days of imitation, Lu Cheng has begun to bring this new breathing method into his life, maintaining this state at all times, forming muscle memory and physiological habits as soon as possible, and exercising to the greatest extent.

This morning, Lu Cheng had just finished breakfast and was about to go out when he heard the servant report that Zhu Tong, the bearded man, came to visit.

"Brother Zhu, how come you have time to come to my farm today?"

"Mr. Lu, I came here on the order of Mr. Li, the county magistrate, to ask Mr. Lu to come."

"Oh? Brother Zhu, can you tell me why the county magistrate is looking for me?"

"I don't know why. But it should be a good thing, and it may be related to Mr. Lu's ability to subdue tigers."

Lu Cheng nodded, and he probably had an idea in his mind, and then went to the county government with Zhu Tong.

Although Lu Cheng had met the county magistrate of Yuncheng County a few times from a distance, he had not said a few words and was not familiar with him. All we know is that this Mr. Li is not a Jinshi, but an official appointed through patronage. He is now nearly 40 years old and has served three terms as a county magistrate, with mediocre ability.

The Song Dynasty attached great importance to the appointment and removal of county officials. Generally, the local government was required to recommend county officials to the central government. In many cases, the emperor would personally summon them and appoint them as county magistrates only after they passed the examination.

This is also the experience learned by the Song Dynasty during the Five Dynasties. In order to strengthen centralization, the chief officials at the county level were highly valued and strictly supervised and evaluated.

It is easier for those who are Jinshi to become county magistrates. For those who are appointed through patronage, they need to work at the grassroots level for many years and pass the examinations before they can be appointed as county magistrates.

Of course, the Song Dynasty is now in decline, and the corruption of officials has reached a certain level, so even the most perfect system is difficult to implement.

"I am Lu Cheng, and I have met County Magistrate Li."

In the Song Dynasty, the emperor was relatively close to the people, and the people usually did not have to kneel down when they saw the emperor's ceremonial guards. The people did not have to kneel down when they saw the officials.

Moreover, the common people in the Song Dynasty generally called officials "guanren" or "surname plus official title". In general occasions, the emperor was also called "guanjia", and only in very formal occasions would the emperor be called "Your Majesty".

As for calling officials "daren", that was after the Yuan Dynasty.

Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, "daren" generally referred to fathers. In film and television dramas, the common people called Bao Zheng "bao daren", which was somewhat inappropriate.

Moreover, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were also different. The county magistrate was selected and sent to the local area by the court from the grassroots officials in Kyoto and was directly under the central government. The county magistrate was generally an exclusive local official. Although the power of the two is not much different, there are differences in future promotion prospects and actual status...
