The old Chinese medicine doctor continued: "The first type is to improve the internal physique through external exercises, and the second type! You must first practice the first type of movements proficiently before you can practice the second type."
"Then how to practice the second type?" Wu Yugang asked eagerly.
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "Qi is the surface of blood. When qi and blood are strong, the bone marrow will be filled. When the bone marrow is filled, the bones will be strong. When the bones are strong, the periosteal tendons and muscles will be healthy, so that they can resist external evils."
And this second type is a method of practicing from the inside out, which essentially improves the body's quality from within the human body. Mainly Qi training. "
"Is it easy to practice?" Wu Yugang asked.
"It's not difficult. As long as you grind the iron pestle into a needle, there's nothing difficult!" the old Chinese doctor said firmly.
"Then how to practice?" Wu Yugang asked.
The old Chinese medicine doctor said calmly: "This is a method of integrating nature and man. First, choose a quiet place where no one will disturb you, then stand naturally, remove distracting thoughts, and focus on the Dantian.
Use your mind to think about what kind of movements you want to do, use the body's true energy to drive the whole body, and do the movements spontaneously.
During exercise, qi and blood will be filled, and the areas that are inherently deficient will be naturally replenished by the qi and blood between heaven and earth during exercise.
Over time, the body will be light and healthy, and external evils will be difficult to invade, and the goal of cultivating both internal and external health can be achieved. "
"Oh! It's so amazing." Wu Yugang sighed sincerely.
"Okay, let me teach you the first set of movements first." The old Chinese doctor said. Wu Yugang studied meticulously on the side.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Yugang has been studying at the home of an old Chinese medicine practitioner for more than a year. People in the village also live a healthy life under the meticulous guidance of the old Chinese medicine doctor.
One day, the old Chinese medicine doctor called Wu Yugang to his side and said, "Go to the mountains to pick some herbs! Being more in touch with the natural air of heaven and earth will also be good for your health."
Wu Yugang said happily: "Okay, no problem. I have already memorized the herbal medicine and soup songs you taught me. I can also identify the herbal medicine when I go to the mountain. If I don't understand it, I will come back and ask you!"
The old Chinese medicine doctor said: "Pay attention to safety, don't go too far, go early and come back early." Wu Yugang picked up the basket of medicine and went up the mountain.
Although Wu Yugang was less than eight years old at this time, he looked almost like a teenager.
Although the mountains here are not very high, they are green but not high, the water is not deep but beautiful, the trees are lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is like a paradise.
Wu Yugang picked herbs while admiring the beautiful scenery in the mountains.
I was gathering herbs, and suddenly, as I was searching, I saw a coypu running past me.
Wu Yugang looked up and saw a short, white-haired old man not far away walking towards this side.
Wu Yugang stood up, and at this time the old man had already arrived at Wu Yugang's side.
The old man said to Wu Yugang, who was full of questions: "Did you see my coypu? It was frightened and ran over just now."
Wu Yugang said: "Just ran over!" At this time, the coypu not far away stood down and looked back at the two people who were talking.
Wu Yugang then said: "Then let me help you catch him!"
The old man said: "This little thing has been following me for several years. He is very cunning and difficult to catch."
Wu Yugang said: "Try it first." As he said this, a hungry tiger pounced on the coypu. As soon as the coypu saw someone coming to catch him, when Wu Yugang was about to approach his body, he suddenly scurried to the side and dodged. Wu Yugang pounced. null.
At this time, the old man came over and said, "Look at me." As he said that, the old man touched the water and landed next to the coypu. As soon as the coypu scurried to the side, the old man moved like lightning, and he had already turned the river in the direction where the coypu was coming. The raccoon was caught in the hand.
Wu Yugang was stunned by the lightning-fast scene just now.
At this time, the old man came over and said, "You see! This also requires skill."
Wu Yugang asked curiously: "How did you know to arrest me like that?"
The old man smiled and said: "This is called suppressing the desire before rising. First test to see the direction he is going to run, and then catch him." Wu Yugang nodded silently.
At this time, the old man asked: "What do you do?"
Wu Yugang said: "Not far away, the apprentices of the old Chinese medicine doctors in the village come here to collect herbal medicines."
The old man nodded and said, "It turns out to be a doctor."
Wu Yugang said: "I have read many Confucian classics before."
The old man said: "It is good for doctors to treat illnesses and save people's physical pain, but it is also indispensable to save people's souls."
Wu Yugang asked strangely: "Save the human soul, what is the human soul, and how to save the human soul?"
The old man said: "The soul, simply put, is a person's spirit. It is difficult to save a person's spirit. Because in this society, people only pay lip service to doing good deeds, and very few people actually do good deeds. In society, What is extremely lacking is justice, and there are very few people who uphold justice!”
Wu Yugang asked the old man: "Doesn't the country have a legal system? There are governments to punish evil! What can we do!"
The old man looked at Wu Yugang, a child who was still somewhat innocent, and said earnestly: "You are still a child. In this society, people are very selfish and will do anything for money. Those who seek money kill others, those who are not filial to the elderly, etc. There are all kinds of things, and many things are not handled by the people, but by people's own conscience. However, whether it is the government or the people, how many things are done based on conscience? You are still a child and don't understand this. "
Wu Yugang said: "Doctors can cure diseases and save people, so there must be a way to save souls."
The old man smiled and said: "That is a long-term task. For example, as a doctor, if you treat others, you can only save a few people, and you have to rely on the patients you have cured to publicize that you are a good doctor or a miracle doctor. , but the ability is still limited!
As for those knights who upheld justice in the world, people took the initiative to tell stories about the things they did.
Rather than treating people, you have to tell others yourself, one is active and the other is passive, and it is said that words of justice are a weapon to save people's souls. "
Wu Yugang silently understood the old man's words.
At this time, the old man looked at Wu Yugang who was silent and said to Wu Yugang: "You are still a child, just do what you are doing now."
Wu Yugang thought to himself: "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, it is still beneficial to get in touch with society."
The old man asked Wu Yugang: "I saw you were very agile in your movements just now. Have you ever learned martial arts?"
Wu Yugang said: "It's just that the old Chinese medicine doctor taught me a set of "Five Animals Show" for fitness."
The old man said in surprise: "Oh! That's right! That's a good exercise! It contains things from the Yi Jin Jing and the Marrow Cleansing Sutra! Boys have to learn some self-defense skills. I can do it too. Would you like to teach you some?" (To be continued)
