Chapter 61: Senior Brothers Tongyuan and Tongji.
Chapter 61: Senior Brothers Tongyuan and Tongji.
The cold pool and waterfall are located in the back mountain.
Bai Chen followed behind Xuanming Daoist, passed through Taiping Temple, and entered a small path.
As you venture deeper into the path, the air gradually becomes more humid.
As you walk to the corner of the path, you can already hear the sound of rushing water.
Passing through.
At the top of the cliff, tens of meters high, the cascading stream plunges down from the crevices of the rocks, crashing into the deep pool with a thunderous roar.
Where the water vapor lingers, moss climbs all over the stone wall, and a few clumps of ferns sway back and forth in the surging air currents.
"Holy crap, it's so beautiful!"
Such a sight amazed Bai Chen. It was a pity he was not well-educated; otherwise, he would have definitely composed a poem to express his feelings.
No wonder martial arts sects in novels all like to be built deep in the mountains and forests.
It's not just a matter of whether the scenery is beautiful or not; more importantly, it's about needing a place like this to practice martial arts.
"Disciple Tongji/Tongyuan greets Master!"
At this moment, two young men, shirtless and wearing shorts with their cuffs tied with rope, ran over barefoot and bowed to Xuanming Daoist.
"Um."
Xuanming Daoist nodded slightly, then pointed to Bai Chen beside him and introduced him:
"His name is Bai Chen. He is your Uncle Xuanqing's disciple, so he is your junior brother. From now on, you will practice together."
Upon hearing this...
Two bare-armed young Taoist priests quickly formed the Yin-Yang symbol, placed it on their chests, and loudly proclaimed:
"Greetings, Junior Brother Bai Chen!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Tongyuan, greetings, Senior Brother Tongji." Bai Chen also responded by making the Yin-Yang fish hand seal and placing it on his chest.
At the same time, he was also sizing up the two of them.
Tong Yuan is tall and has a square face that makes him look somewhat honest.
Tongji is a bit shorter, but his most distinctive feature is his squinty eyes, which resemble Li Ronghao's, making him look somewhat comical.
According to Xuanming Daoist, these two, like himself, had completed the Bone Refining Realm cultivation and were about to enter the Organ Refining Realm stage.
I just don't know, given that we're both at the Bone Refining Realm, who is stronger between me and these two?
Bai Chen felt that he was stronger.
It wasn't that he was arrogant or conceited, but rather that it was based on a martial artist's perception.
"You three, come over here. This old Taoist will explain the intricacies of the Refining Viscera Realm to you."
The voice of Xuanming Daoist rang out, pulling Bai Chen back to his senses, and the three of them quickly stood in a row.
"The old Taoist priest mentioned before that there are static and dynamic stances for cultivating the internal organs, among which..."
Unlike his previous lectures, Xuanming Daoist is now discussing the practical essentials of cultivation.
Bai Chen dared not be distracted and kept every word the other person said firmly in his mind.
...
About half an hour later, Xuanming Daoist stopped his practice and stood up. He glanced at the three of them and asked in a gentle voice:
"Have you all grasped the key points?"
"Disciples understand!" Bai Chen, Tong Yuan, and Tong Ji replied in unison.
"Now that you have grasped the meaning, go and try it. This old Taoist will protect you here. If there is any danger, I will take action."
Xuanming Daoist nodded slightly, then raised his hand and pointed to the roaring waterfall, his gaze falling on Tongyuan, who was the tallest of the group.
"Tongyuan, you go ahead and practice your internal energy cultivation stance under the waterfall."
"Yes, Master."
Tongyuan nodded, walked to the rocks beside the waterfall, gritted his teeth, and rushed in.
Like a torrent, the waterfall cascaded down, crashing heavily onto him.
Maintaining balance alone is difficult, let alone practicing dynamic stance boxing under such impact.
A few seconds later, Tongyuan let out an "Ah..." and, like a headless slid, slid down the waterfall into the pool below.
After struggling for a while and choking on some water, he finally swam to shore.
"Master, I..." Tongyuan was overwhelmed with shame and lowered his head, not daring to look at his master.
Xuanming Daoist smiled and shook his head, gently comforting him: "Martial arts is a gradual process, how can it be accomplished overnight?"
But if you persevere and proceed gradually, you will eventually achieve a sudden and complete understanding.
"Yes, Master." Tongyuan nodded heavily.
"Um."
Xuanming Daoist looked at Tongji and said, "Tongji, why don't you give it a try?"
Tongji nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He darted up the rocks in a few steps and plunged into the waterfall.
As expected, just like Tongyuan before, he fell into the deep pool below the waterfall in just a few seconds and became a drowned rat.
Wow~
Tongji waded through the artificial water in the pool, savoring the feeling from before. After a while, he swam ashore.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Tongyuan, I haven't mastered it either, but I think I've found some techniques."
Tongji blinked his squinty eyes and said confidently.
Upon hearing this, Tongyuan quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Junior Brother Tongji, you must give me a lot of guidance."
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely tell you everything I know..."
While Tongyuan and Tongji were chatting.
Bai Chen also began his first attempt.
After observing the situations of Tongyuan and Tongji, he came to a conclusion:
If you want to practice dynamic stance training under a waterfall, the first thing to consider is how to stabilize your body.
Only by stabilizing one's physical form can one be qualified to consider further cultivation.
Take off your shirt and come to one side of the waterfall.
"Phew~"
Bai Chen took a deep breath and rushed towards the waterfall.
Wow~
The waterfall cascading down from the sky landed on his back, creating an extremely powerful impact.
Bai Chen's body swayed slightly, and he subconsciously spread his legs, using the landing technique from the "Sixty-Four Forms of Freedom" to firmly stabilize his body.
After a short while, he got used to the impact of the waterfall's outer edge and continued towards the center.
that's it.
Step by step, we reached the very center of the waterfall.
The powerful spray of water made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
Bai Chen endured the discomfort and practiced the moves while in a horse stance.
The dynamic stance training for the internal organs consists of five movements, each corresponding to one of the five organs: heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys.
Due to the impact of the water flow, the movements were severely distorted, but the trajectory of the five postures of the Qigong stance could still be barely discerned.
The entire process is extremely physically demanding.
Bai Chen could only hold on for a few minutes before he could no longer continue and his feet slipped.
With a splash, it fell into the pool.
Bai Chen quickly used both hands and feet to swim to the shore in a doggy paddle, shook off the water, and waited for Xuanming Daoist's comments.
Seeing Bai Chen walk over,
Tongyuan and Tongji were both filled with admiration, because only by trying it themselves could they know just how difficult it was.
Xuanming Daoist nodded slightly, his face showing approval, and said gently:
"Nephew, this method is excellent. By using the lightness of the body to stabilize your posture, coupled with your already solid foundation, you can succeed in one fell swoop."
He paused slightly, a knowing glint in his eyes, before asking:
"If I'm not mistaken, the bones you used when you were training your bones were extraordinary—were they from a ferocious beast?"
"Uh, I guess so..."
Bai Chen said somewhat uncertainly, "Even the submachine gun couldn't kill the python. In the end, we had to throw a grenade into its mouth to kill it."
Such a python must be quite fierce, right?
