White clouds and gray dogs, time flew by. Four months had passed. Hu Xing had been on this lone peak, diligently practicing martial arts. Early winter had arrived, and the earth was desolate. The withered grass and leaves reflected the residual snow. The sun was setting in the west, and the multicolored clouds shone in the small courtyard, making it seem even more ancient, like the residence of immortals.
"Master, I might be able to complete the distribution of the 108 acupoints today.”Hu Xing said happily to his master who was lying on the rocking chair.
Lan Miao suddenly stood up and smiled." Alright, then I'll test you. I'll read the acupuncture points. You have to react quickly and press the acupuncture points."”
"No problem." Hu Xing smiled at his master.”
Lan Miao smiled." Don't talk big. You'll only know after you try. It's the Jimen acupoint."”
"Six inches above the Blood Sea Acupoint on the inner thigh," Hu Xing immediately shouted.”After saying that, he struck out.
"Taiyuan." Lan Miao said.
"On the lateral striae of the wrist joint, on the lateral side of the radius artery.”Hu Xing immediately reacted and shouted at the same time.
"Blood Sea Point."
"Kneel your knees, two inches above the inner edge of the patellar bone.”
"Yangling Spring Cave"
"Below the head of the fibula."
"Heding acupoint."
"It's located an inch above the upper edge of the kneecap."
"Pohu Point."
" Three inches below the spinous process of the third vertebra."
"Not bad, not bad. You're very skilled.”Lan Miao looked at Hu Xing's reaction and immediately praised.
"Master, do you still want to test me?" Hu Xing said proudly.
"Then memorize it again. Remember the eleven dizzy points that you were familiar with last month.”Lan Miao said earnestly.
"Master, listen carefully. It is located four inches and five minutes behind Baihui. The fontanelle point is located three inches in front of the Baihui point. On the star point: into the hairline one inch above the depression. Qianding point: one inch and five minutes before Baihui point. Houding point: located one inch and five minutes behind Baihui point. Fengfu point: between the two tendons under the occipital bone behind the neck. Head Wei point: located in the forehead, into the hairline horn tip. The acupoint behind the ear is located in the vein behind the ear. Yamen point: located in the middle of an inch below Fengfu point. Tongtian point: located five minutes after the front top point, and then an inch outside. Jade pillow point: located one inch and three minutes beside the brain door point.”Tiger Star finished speaking in one breath and even quickly tapped on the wooden man.
"Not bad, not bad." Lan Miao encouraged Hu Xing's actions.
"Master, I've already familiarized myself with all three hundred and sixty acupoints of the human body.”Hu Xing humbly asked for advice because he also felt the changes in his body.
"The acupuncture points of the human body occupy a very small area, and the area you tap is only 20 - 30% of the total area. Therefore, you must not be careless when you first practice. When practicing, it should be from less to more, from simple to complex, from light to heavy, from short to long, from bitter to constant practice, one word is refinement, to be accurate, to see accurate.”Lan Miao said while pulling his long beard.
"I will." Hu Xing knew that although he was familiar with the location of the acupuncture points, he did not dare to guarantee the accuracy of the acupuncture points. Under Lan Miao's influence for such a long time, Hu Xing was actually full of vitality. He was no longer as cold as before. He had returned to the past, to the world he was in before. Perhaps this was also the effect of martial arts on martial artists.
After that, Hu Xing practiced every day and night. He had made some achievements in practicing the Mystic Body Divine Skill at night. Suddenly, he realized that the surface of his body was gradually becoming harder. He understood that this might be the first level of the "Body Forming" mentioned in the book. The next level was "Cocoon Forming", and the next level was "Butterfly Transformation". Hu Xing did not look at the rest because he was afraid that it would affect his temperament and affect himself. Apart from his body, his spirit was also slowly becoming stronger. Every morning, he seemed to have an endless amount of energy. As his spiritual power increased, his reflection power also gradually changed.
In the valley, Tiger Star practiced martial arts all day long. He forgot that he was in the game and forgot about the world outside the valley. However, there was someone who was always thinking about him and missing him. Ever since then, Can Ye knew that she shouldn't have liked Hu Xing, so she tried her best to forget him every day. However, she couldn't do it. The harder she tried, the more Hu Xing's figure kept appearing in her mind. Humans were like this. Feelings were really strange. When they came, no one could stop them. They made people crazy and worried.
Can Ye didn't know why, but when he arrived at the Mysterious Gate, his brain didn't seem to be under his control. Every time he woke up, he was already standing at the place where he had sent Hu Xing. Every time she looked over the mountain, she hoped to see his figure and the white hair she had been waiting for. Every time she returned with tears in her eyes, she felt that she was very laughable. He might not know that she loved him, but she had to come here every day to look at him a few times before she felt good. Was this a joke played by the heavens on him?
Another month passed. Just as Hu Xing was trying his best to press his acupoints, there was a sudden " crack ". Hu Xing was dumbfounded. The wooden figure had actually been cut in half by his press. Tiger Star immediately thought, Master won't blame him. It's over now. How am I going to practice today?”
Just as he was worried, a burst of applause came from behind him. Hu Xing turned around and saw that it was his master. "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't point it out."”
"Get up. Can't you see that I'm clapping? This is the first step to becoming a true martial artist. Back then, I took three years to transform into a wooden puppet, but you took less than half a year. You can be considered a genius.”Lan Miao said as he held his long beard and looked at the broken wood below.
"Master, do you mean that this is a sign of my cultivation improving?”Hu Xing stood up and asked foolishly.
Lan Miao smiled and nodded. "Then, Master, how am I going to practice next?" Hu Xing asked excitedly.”
"Of course, Master has thought of it for you. My dear disciple, wait here for a moment.”After Lan Miao finished speaking, he turned into a white shadow and disappeared. "So Master's martial arts has reached this level." Hu Xing exclaimed with his mouth wide open.”A moment later, Lan Miao walked over with a black object on his back. His pace seemed a little slow, but he looked very stable. It was only when he approached Tiger Star that he saw that it was a stone man.
" Boom!" Lan Miao put the golem down.
"Master, what is this? Don't tell me you're letting me…" Tiger Star seemed to know something, and his mouth was wide open in surprise.
"Right, the next step is to point at stone objects. After this period of hard work, your fingertips will gradually become firmer, and you can start to practice pointing stones. He pointed his fingers at the smooth and hard stone to practice. The strength of the point increased from light to heavy, the time of the point increased from short, and the number of points increased from small. If you feel pain or swelling in your fingers, you can reduce your strength, time, and frequency as appropriate. Don't stop practicing.”Daoist Lan Miao once again set a new goal for Tiger Star.
"Then, Master's completion of this stage, could it be that you want me to open the stone?”Hu Xing looked at the hard rockman and asked in surprise.
"Haha, of course not. It's not impossible to wait until your internal energy reaches the great success realm. Haha, that will take at least five or six years, haha.”Lan Miao burst into laughter when he heard Hu Xing's words.
"I was shocked, but I believe that there will be such a day.”Hu Xing's eyes flashed with determination as he laughed along with Lan Miao.
"I have another piece of good news for you. From today onwards, I will teach you martial arts and acupoint techniques, as well as their application. You have to know that to learn the method of pressing acupoints, whether it is to control people or to save people, one must have real skills and high skills. Otherwise, he would be controlled by the enemy instead of being controlled by the enemy. The ancients said: the person who hits the acupoints is violent and disabled, and the finger falls to the ground in an instant. If I lose my skill and get caught instead, it is not true that I can control the unsolved skill. I must also practice the acupoints from the beginning. Although the strength lies in the finger, I must remember that the heart and the will are in harmony, the will and the strength are in harmony, the strength and the qi are in harmony, the hand and the eye are in harmony, and the skill and coincidence are in harmony. Yin and Yang are unified, and the five elements seek the root, which is strength. The root of strength is still qi and blood, which are closely related to each other. Blood is the mother of qi, and qi is the leader of blood. The qi flows quickly along the blood, and the blood is strong and the qi is full.”Lan Miao said slowly.
"Master, hello. It seems that it's a little complicated. I don't seem to understand.”Hu Xing said embarrassedly.
"That's why it's your next goal! If you can understand me, how can I be your master? As long as you often explore the theory of acupuncture, push it according to the theory, and seek it one by one, you will definitely get something. Hehe, I'll explain it to you step by step.”Lan Miao said while pulling his long beard.
"Thank you, Master." Hu Xing laughed.
"You don't have to thank me in the future. As long as you practice martial arts well, I'll be able to feel the true gratitude.”Lan Miao said with a smile.
"To learn the acupoint technique, one must understand the theory of the acupoints. Every student must carefully experience and practice at any time, regardless of the form, such as bedside, table, ground, on the way, etc. You can practice martial arts even if you leave your master in the future. One had to think more about everything, such as where the head of qi and blood should be at a certain time, where the meridian should flow at a certain time, when it should start, and when it should end. All of these had to be carefully pushed and touched. Only then would one become a true expert. Martial arts was a process of exploration and progress.”Lan Miao said seriously.
Hu Xing stood at the side and listened carefully, memorizing every word. He knew that what his teacher was talking about was the essence of acupuncture.
"That's all for today. I'll tell you more in the future. I'm afraid you won't be able to chew it well if there's too much, so you can start.”After Lan Miao finished speaking, he began to lie on his rocking chair again, basking in the sun, leisurely.
Tiger Star also started practicing. In the next few days, Lan Miao found a fan for Hu Xing and threw it to him.""From now on, you can practice and spar with me at the same time. This way, you might be able to comprehend the mysteries of acupoints faster. Remember, the heart and will are in harmony, the will and strength are in harmony, the strength and qi are in harmony, the hand and eye are in harmony, and the skill and coincidence are in harmony. This is what you have to do at this stage.”
There was no time to practice martial arts. Hu Xing's movement technique was different from before. Under Lan Miao's guidance, his technique had improved greatly, especially his footwork. Two white shadows flashed in the courtyard day and night, sometimes up and sometimes down, their whereabouts fleeting, seemingly invisible.
The dragon's head and tail. The sparring between Tiger Star and Lan Miao could also be more of guidance, education, and teaching.
Just as the two white shadows stopped, Lan Miao smiled and said,""You are no longer the silly kid from back then.”
"This is all thanks to Master." Hu Xing laughed.
"There, there. Just relying on my guidance, how can you not work hard? Two years ago today, you practiced martial arts with me. Back then, I remembered that every move made your body unable to move and was fixed on the spot. However, two years later today, you were able to exchange 800 moves with me without being hit. This improvement is truly a heaven's gift." Lan Miao said meaningfully.
"Haha." Hu Xing laughed foolishly.
Two years had passed, and Hu Xing was no longer the same as before. His martial arts, his internal energy, and his movement techniques had reached a new peak. You've put in a lot of effort. After practicing martial arts with Master every day, you still have to find time to practice acupoint pressing and top strength.(When you use all your strength in one arm and concentrate it on the tip of your finger to press on a hard object, it's called top strength. The training method of top strength is still from soft to hard.) He first used his Qi to change his strength, then hit the object. When he exerted strength, he would gradually increase it from light to heavy, stopping when he was exhausted, and then continuing. It was an extremely bitter cultivation technique that he had never stopped for more than two years.）Practice Grasping Strength (Grasping Strength is the technique of using the thumb, index finger, and middle finger to control people. The method was to use the index finger as the center of gravity, and the thumb and middle finger grabbed first and then pointed. It was a unique method to assist the index finger in grabbing the person. The method of practicing it is to bend the tip of the thumb, index finger and middle finger inward slightly, like an eagle's beak, shaped like a round vertebra, sharp as a spear, exert the strength of the three fingers, tightly grasp it, and use it until the sharp strength of the whole body is exhausted.）The cocoon on his hand had accumulated to a thickness of one centimeter. Just a few days ago, when he had mastered the Mystic Body Divine Skill, a strange phenomenon occurred. His Internal Strength had finally broken through the bottleneck of spinning cocoons and entered the stage of butterfly transformation. Night Tiger Star's skin peeled off three layers in a row, and the scars and calluses on his hands were all gone. Hu Xing seemed to have changed into a different person. His skin was like a newborn, smooth and fair, and his skin was whiter than snow.
When Tiger Star woke up and saw his own skin, he was shocked."How can he go out and meet people in the future? More importantly, he's afraid that after the calluses on his hands disappear, all his daily practice will be in vain and he'll have to start from scratch.”Hu Xing nervously came to the courtyard that very night. He closed his eyes and used his three fingers to point at the golem. He only heard a " ding " sound, but there was no sign of pain on his fingers. Tiger Star was shocked and kept flipping his newbie. No matter how he touched it, it was still meat! But why was there a metallic sound?
The next day, Lan Miao almost didn't recognize Hu Xing. Hu Xing told him what happened, and Lan Miao came to his senses. He was happy for Hu Xing and congratulated him on his great progress. But until now, Lan Miao had not taught Hu Xing the real usage of internal energy. Hu Xing often asked, but Lan Miao always said that it was not the right time and declined. Hu Xing could only bury his head and practice hard.
