Chapter 91 Hunyuan Yi Qigong
There is nothing much to say about the skill of the bouncing kick. It is one of the few leg skills in traditional martial arts. Other martial arts use legs to achieve a fatal blow, but the bouncing kick is performed with hands to confuse people. However, the move is gorgeous and highly ornamental.
However, Du Ruo doubted whether this Kung Fu had three levels. After all, like other Kung Fu, each upgrade had advancements. Level 0 was routines or basic skills, level 1 was fighting methods or breathing techniques, and level 2 was a summary of all and the category of weapons. He had never heard of the bouncing leg breathing technique, and weapons were even more impossible.
However, Du Ruo didn't care much about this. Having one more means is always good. What he cared more about was the internal power - Hunyuan Qigong.
The level of this internal skill is directly ∞. I don’t know if there is anything special about it. Is it the kind of internal skill described in novels? Du Ruo quickly calmed down and looked it up.
After a while, Du Ruo was a little disappointed that this internal energy was not what he had imagined. After practicing it, he could not fly or hide in the ground. Instead, it was a method of regulating the body.
You can mobilize the "essence, energy and spirit" in your body through specific breathing methods and adjustments to your body posture, making them more active, better controlled and better able to feed back into yourself.
The practice of Hunyuan Yi Qigong is divided into dynamic and static exercises.
Dynamic exercises include three aspects: regulating the mind, regulating the breath, and regulating the body.
Adjusting the mind means concentrating attention and eliminating distracting thoughts in order to achieve mental focus and tranquility.
Breathing regulation refers to adjusting the ways and methods of breathing to promote physical health through breathing.
Body adjustment is to adjust the body posture according to the requirements of specific exercises, which is divided into sitting exercises and standing exercises, in order to achieve the best effect on the body.
In fact, the skills that Du Ruo learned all have this kind of internal strength. For example, Xingyiquan has standing skills, Baguazhang has breathing methods, Tongbiquan has mind-regulating methods, and so on.
Jinggong is a method of meditation that allows the body to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness.
Before practicing static exercises, the body needs to burn "essence" to strengthen the "qi", let the "qi" boil to nourish the "spirit", and let the "spirit" feel the nature to feed back to itself. Not only is the efficiency extremely low, but it also causes huge losses.
Practicing Hunyuan Qigong is an active practice that allows the body's essence, energy and spirit to circulate quickly. In the end, you don't even need to meditate, as the body's essence, energy and spirit will automatically adjust to form a large circle and keep circulating.
To put it simply, the last time Du Ruo used a hidden weapon, all the "Qi" in his body was consumed in an instant. If he encounters an enemy later, Du Ruo will have no "Qi" available and can only use other methods to fight the enemy. Moreover, Du Ruo spent more than a day resting last time before he could slowly restore his "Qi".
After practicing Hunyuan Yi Qigong, Du Ruo's "qi" in the body is completely consumed, but he can actively stimulate the "essence" to allow it to produce "qi" continuously. Although he cannot make the qi full instantly, the energy is endless.
Moreover, after the battle, Du Ruo only needs to sit quietly and practice to quickly replenish his "Qi". The efficiency and effectiveness are completely on a different level.
"It's amazing, it can make up for my shortcomings. This dynamic exercise looks insignificant, but it seems very abnormal. If I practice the dynamic exercise of Hunyuan Yi Qigong well, will the experience of other boxing techniques naturally increase? Will the attribute points also increase? A perpetual motion machine for practicing exercises?"
Thinking of this, Du Ruo hurriedly tried it.
In the following time, Du Ruo kept practicing Hunyuan Yi Qigong, regulating his mind, breathing, and body, and then sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that it is possible, but the efficiency is extremely low. If he maintains it for a day, he can only increase the attribute point by about , which is similar to when he practiced on his own. The increase in other skills is only about ten points. In general, it is similar to before, but very average.
It’s a bit tiring to keep your breathing and mindset up all the time, but it’s great to be able to improve your skills without any exercise.
After the test, Du Ruo couldn't help but practice some boxing before washing up and going to bed. He has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and now he always feels a little uncomfortable if he doesn't exercise for a day.
The next morning, Du Ruo got up early without planning to practice boxing. He slept too deeply yesterday and couldn't get up early. Today he decided to go up the mountain. He hadn't seen a clouded leopard for a few days and wanted to go up and visit it. The tuna was quite fresh, so maybe he could bring it to the clouded leopard to taste.
“I just don’t know if clouded leopards are used to eating marine fish.”
Du Ruo was thinking as he put the tuna into the bag.
"Dingling bell~~"
Du Ruo closed the door and before he walked far, he heard a cell phone ringing. The ringing sound came from the room. Du Ruo usually did not bring a cell phone when going up the mountain. Fortunately, his five senses were so powerful now, otherwise he would not be able to hear the ringing sound.
"Who is calling so early?"
There was no choice, Du Ruo could only open the door and answer the phone. It would be fine if he didn’t hear it, but it would be unreasonable if he heard it and didn’t answer it.
"Hey, Yuanyuan, are you back?"
When Du Ruo saw that the call was from Yuanyuan, he subconsciously glanced at the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant, and then he thought that the other party might have just got off the plane and needed him to pick her up.
"No, I'm still at home. I heard from Xiaojuan that you were back, so I called you."
The voice on the other end of the phone was Xiang Yuanyuan's, which sounded a little lazy. It seemed that she was either still lying in bed or had drunk too much the day before.
"Well, I'm back. Why did you call?"
"Do you have time? Come over to my house."
"Huh? What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Du Ruo was a little surprised. The first thing he thought of was that the other party was in trouble and needed his help to solve it.
"What trouble? It's the wine. The wine is already brewed. If you're at home, just drive over to pick it up. I don't trust it by express delivery, and I can't take such a large amount on the plane."
Xiang Yuanyuan explained.
"Is it ready? OK, I'll drive over now, send me the location." Du Ruo was immediately happy when he heard it, and hurried to the kitchen, put the tuna back into the refrigerator, and then went to find the car keys. Du Ruo thought that the tuna was in the refrigerator anyway, so it would not matter if he brought it to the clouded leopard in a few days.
"You should drive a bigger car that can carry more. The tiger bone weighs ten kilograms, plus the herbs and other things, it can make nearly seven hundred kilograms of wine. Even if you keep 550% of it, it will still be almost kilograms. I'm afraid your car can't carry it."
Xiang Yuanyuan reminded him.
"Okay, okay, send me the location. I'll leave now."
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and called his sister Duna again. His brother-in-law bought a new car, a BMW SUV, with a large trunk, which should be enough to hold five or six hundred kilograms of wine.
After hanging up the phone, Du Ruo thought for a while and took some fruit tea and put it in the car.
When Du Ruo arrived in town, her sister Du Na was already standing downstairs with the key.
"Are you looking for a girlfriend?"
Du Na was still a little curious. When someone called her so early in the morning and told her that they wanted to take their car out for a trip, she thought that Du Ruo had a girlfriend and needed a better car to show off.
"No, you drive this car first. I need to go to Fujian to bring some stuff back. Your car's trunk is big enough. I'll return the car to you tomorrow."
Du Ruo changed the key and walked towards the BMW next to him.
"You kid, I can't bear to drive the new car I just bought, and you use it to transport things. What are you transporting? Don't transport steel bars or concrete."
When Du Na heard that he was not looking for a girlfriend but was going to transport goods, she immediately didn't want to borrow the car anymore.
"Don't worry, it will be fine."
Du Ruo drove away without even looking back.
"Mom, I just heard my uncle's voice. Did he bring the fish?"
Yaya ran out wearing her little slippers, rubbing her eyes. Now she loved seeing her uncle the most and she could eat fish as soon as she saw her uncle.
"There are no fish. Why are you up so early? Go to sleep. There are lots of fish in my dream."
Duna replied unhappily, then picked up Yaya and carried her back to the bedroom.
"The fish in the dream was too big, Yaya, I couldn't eat it..."
……
Du Ruo drove without stopping for a moment. The entire journey was more than 600 kilometers and he didn't even go to the toilet once during the seven and a half hours.
Xiang Yuanyuan's house is in the county, but it covers a large area and is surrounded by high walls. From a distance, it looks like a manor and can be seen from a long distance.
"Yuanyuan, where's the wine?"
Du Ruo saw Xiang Yuanyuan squatting at the very grand gate from a distance without any ladylike image. He stopped the car quickly and the first thing he did after getting out was to ask about the tiger bone wine.
"Please drive the car in. The wine is in the wine cellar. I'll show it to you later."
Xiang Yuanyuan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with her hair scattered on her shoulders. She was supporting her head with one hand, looking a little sleepy. When she saw Du Ruo coming, she stood up and pushed the door open with some difficulty, allowing Du Ruo to drive the car in.
Seeing this, Du Ruo had no choice but to get back into the car and drive in.
After entering, I found that this yard was probably as big as a small football field. On one side were some huge vats piled up. Opposite the main entrance was a row of houses with quite quaint shapes and very grand. There were several cars parked on the other side, and Du Ruo parked the cars next to each other.
"Oh my god, Yuanyuan, I didn't realize your family is a landlord."
Du Ruo took a look and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's okay. This is our ancestral property. Let's go and take it to the wine cellar."
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't care much about it. In her opinion, her family just had a bigger house. As for how much money the family had, she didn't know, but she had never been short of money anyway.
"No hurry, after all, it's my first time here, are uncle and aunt home? I'd better meet them first."
Du Ruo was no longer in a hurry and took out fruits and tea from the car. The wine was there and it couldn't go away. It would be a bit unreasonable for a friend to come here for the first time without greeting the elders first.
"Oh, come with me. They just knew you were coming. You should sit in the living room."
Xiang Yuanyuan became a little more energetic at this time, but her face still looked a little pale. She took Du Ruo and walked towards the central hall.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look well?"
Du Ruo also noticed Xiang Yuanyuan's situation and couldn't help but walk closer. He saw Xiang Yuanyuan squinting her eyes when she walked, and he was afraid that she would suddenly fall.
