Chapter 94: Ten Days' Effort When Du Ruo entered the room, it was obvious that it had been tidied in the afternoon. The bed, bedding, towels and everything else were there. There was even a set of pajamas on the bed. But Du Ruo didn't have the energy to take a closer look at it at this time. He first took off his clothes and took a shower, and then stood up in the room with his upper body naked and did the single-weight three-body pose. In the hope that by shaking the body, the excess energy in the body can be calmed down so that the fire will not burn so badly. It's a pity that it didn't work. Du Ruo's physique is now far superior to that of ordinary people. He no longer feels exhausted after standing in the single-weight three-body stance for just one or two minutes. After standing for five minutes, he felt an endless supply of energy and no sense of fatigue at all. Du Ruo simply put on his clothes and walked outside. When he came to the front of the house, Du Ruo began to practice boxing, still the most basic Xingyi Five Elements Boxing, but this time was different from before. In the past, Du Ruo had restrained his strength when practicing. The training method is different from the fighting method. The training method focuses on realizing the connection between strength and moves, and realizing the process of strength moving through the body, from the feet through the hips, up the spine, from the shoulders, and finally to the hands. But now Du Ruo doesn't try to feel anything when he punches, he just simply exerts his strength, so with each punch and each move, the strength released is very powerful. But Du Ruo still felt unsatisfied after the fight. After all, Xingyiquan still requires the emphasis on attacking 70% and retaining 30%, because there must be retention between the moves to ensure continuous attack. Du Ruo simply changed his boxing style from Xingyi to Baji, and this time he felt more comfortable when fighting.
Bajiquan is about moving forward courageously, punching in a straight line, charging forward recklessly, and each move is more powerful. However, Du Ruo knew that he was a guest, so he was a little restrained in his boxing and did not cause any extensive damage. Otherwise, with all the strength in his body, he could have broken several tiles with a single Baji stomp of his foot. After releasing some of his strength and no longer feeling the burning sensation in his abdomen, Du Ruo stopped. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor tiles outside the room and began to meditate and practice Hunyuan Yi Qigong. I drank so much tiger penis wine tonight, I can't waste it. If it is not absorbed, it will inevitably be lost. Tiger bone wine strengthens muscles and bones, tiger penis wine replenishes essence and strengthens yang (kidney yang), it can make the essence more vigorous and make up for the loss of essence. It has no aphrodisiac effect, please don't misunderstand. The purpose of Du Ruo's meditation is to allow the "essence, energy and spirit" in the body to form a whole and circulate in the body, helping to absorb the medicinal properties and avoiding excessive burning of the "essence" fire. This was the first time that Du Ruo put all his heart and soul into moving the "essence, energy and spirit" in his body and letting it circulate within his body. Before he knew it, Du Ruo had sat on the floor tiles all night, and only then had the medicinal power in his body been completely absorbed, and no new "essence" was produced. "Hu~~" When the first ray of sunlight fell on Du Ruo, Du Ruo let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and felt refreshed. He could clearly feel that the "energy" in his body had become stronger. Name: Du Ruo Age: 31 Fine: Qi: God: Attribute points: Skill:…… "I didn't expect that practicing Hunyuan Yi Qigong this night could actually directly improve my attributes?" Du Ruo looked at the attribute panel in front of him. In addition to the normal points, there was an additional out of thin air. Under normal circumstances, it would take ten days to achieve this effect. However, Du Ruo soon understood the reason. These were basically the effects of tiger whip wine. In the past, Du Ruo used medicinal wine for external application. The main purpose was to strengthen muscles and bones, protect joints, and avoid hidden injuries caused by long-term exercise. He rarely takes this kind of tonic medicine directly. Even the bottle of tiger bone wine he bought from Xiang Yuanyuan was diluted by her before being used for his family. The tonic wine that Xiang Yuanyuan sent me before was also milder and was used to make up for the deficiency in the body. Only the tiger whip wine from yesterday had such a great effect on essence. In addition, Du Ruo knew Hunyuan Yi Qigong, which allowed the effect of the medicinal wine to be fully absorbed, which enabled the "essence, energy and spirit" to be greatly improved. "I wonder how many of these tonic wines the Xiang family still has? Will the tiger bone wine I brew here have such an effect?" Du Ruo was quite happy, at least he had gained a lot, and he was looking forward to the tiger bone wine even more. "Wake up, go wash up and eat something, we'll load the wine into the car and go back later."
A voice sounded beside Du Ruo. It was Xiang Yuanyuan. She looked Du Ruo up and down and saw that he seemed to be in better spirits. Then she spoke without asking him how he spent the previous night. After all, she had secretly watched Du Ruo for a long time last night. "The tiger penis wine I used yesterday was very effective. Do you have more? How much do you sell it for?" Du Ruo walked towards the room, asking Xiang Yuanyuan as he walked. "Of course that's fine. This wine has been stored for at least twenty years. It's the best wine in our family collection. It's too rare and we won't sell it. Tiger bone wine, tiger penis wine and other wines have better medicinal effects the longer they are stored. But it has very high requirements for the storage environment. Ordinary tiger bone wine will go bad after two or three years of storage. Every year, our family has to spend most of the profit on the storage of these old wines, so the good medicinal wines are sold at such a high price. " Xiang Yuanyuan glanced at the bed and smiled secretly, but her expression remained unchanged as she explained to Du Ruo, "So, you can't drink my tiger bone wine yet?" Du Ruo stopped brushing his teeth and asked. "Well, it will take at least half a year for the beneficial ingredients in the tiger bones to combine with the alcohol and take effect. But don't worry, it's all sealed. Just go back and find a cool and ventilated place to put it. If you really can't find a place like that, just leave it at my place." "That's it, okay then." After Du Ruo finished washing up, he was a little disappointed. In his opinion, even if the tiger bone wine was not as effective as yesterday's tiger penis wine, it would still be good as long as it had one tenth of the effect. After all, quantity could still win. Now it seemed that he should just practice hard on his own. When we arrived at the restaurant, Xiang Yuanzhang and his mother were already waiting at the table, but for some reason, Xiang's father was not there. He ate breakfast very quickly and finished it in no time. "Yuanyuan, are you leaving today? Why not stay a few days longer? Xiao Du can stay here for a few more days and visit Shaolin Temple." Xiang Yuanzhang at the table asked casually. Not only did he miss his granddaughter, but it was also rare to have someone with whom he could chat. "No, Grandpa Xiang. I just came back from another place a few days ago. I just got home and came here in a hurry. It's really not suitable for me to stay for a long time. I'll come to visit you next time." Xiang Yuanyuan looked at Du Ruo without saying anything. Seeing this, Du Ruo took the opportunity to answer. It was really because Xiang's mother was too enthusiastic here, and he felt a little embarrassed. It would be fine if he had some relationship with Xiang Yuanyuan, but their relationship was just better than friends, and he felt embarrassed to eat and drink for free here. "Okay, I'll take you there." Xiang Yuanzhang stood up and walked out. "Xiao Du, there is a record in our family that my elders met Grandmaster Yang Luchan once. It is said that Grandmaster Yang Luchan stopped practicing Tai Chi after he turned 40, but his fighting ability did not decline at all. In fact, his skills became more and more advanced. Why is that? Isn't it said that you have to persist in practicing martial arts? Or does Grandmaster Yang have some special practice method?" Xiang Yuanzhang suddenly spoke, and while he spoke he looked at Du Ruo with burning eyes. "I don't know if this is true or not, but there must be some clues to indicate this kind of sound." Du Ruo didn't understand why Xiang Yuanzhang suddenly asked this, and thought for a while before answering: "This should be related to the Tai Chi he practiced. Tai Chi is different from other martial arts. Tai Chi focuses on strength and the use of strength, not form. When he was forty years old, Master Yang was definitely a Tai Chi master. He no longer needed to practice the boxing form. He just needed to integrate the boxing into his life. The strength was always circling in his body. In this way, he could practice Tai Chi in every move. So it’s not that people stop practicing after the age of 40, but that they enter a higher realm. Only Tai Chi can do this. Other martial arts can also be integrated into life, but they are not as natural, and they cannot be trained as comprehensively. " "I see. I thought I could meditate and practice internal energy like in the novels." Xiang Yuanzhang looked away with some regret. "Haha, Grandpa Xiang, the Xiang family has a long history, and they often deal with warriors. Are you not very clear about whether there is any? As far as I know, the practice of internal energy is common in Buddhism and Taoism, but its core is conditioning, regulating the mind, regulating the breath, and regulating the body. What is being regulated is the spirit, energy, and spirit in the body. Once the spirit, energy, and spirit are regulated well, they can be used better." When Du Ruo saw the other person's expression, he immediately understood. It must be that Xiang Yuanzhang discovered that he had been meditating outside all night yesterday, which led to the misunderstanding. But he didn't care and explained it by the way.
"That's it." Xiang Yuanzhang sighed, and seemed to be thinking about something. After walking for a while, when he was about to reach where Du Ruo parked, he suddenly said: "Actually, I asked because I know about it. But, that's not entirely true. My family actually has some records. Have you heard of Xie Ziran from Sichuan during the Tang Dynasty? This is the source of my curiosity." "Okay, the wine has been taken out of the wine cellar, you can load it into the car. Be careful on the road, Yuanyuan, come back more often. Come back when you've had enough fun outside." Xiang Yuanzhang didn't give Du Ruo a chance to speak. He said something to Xiang Yuanyuan, then turned around and went back. "Xie Ziran? Does he really exist? Could it be that the old man has seen relevant records?" After listening to what Xiang Yuanzhang said, Du Ruo couldn't help but secretly ponder it in his heart, but this kind of thing could not be pondered. Du Ruo could only keep it in his heart and wonder whether the system would have some super skills in the future that could allow Du Ruo to reach the level of Xie Ziran. After loading the wine into the car and saying goodbye to Xiang's mother, Du Ruo drove towards Huangshan with Xiang Yuanyuan. But deep down, I still couldn't forget Xiang Yuanzhang's words. After all, according to historical records, Xie Ziran ascended to heaven in broad daylight under the gaze of thousands of people. This is recorded in official history, unofficial history, local atlases, and Taoist scriptures. (End of this chapter)
