Chapter 45 The Secret of True Qi
“Some strange dreams.” When Wang An woke up in the morning, he recalled the dream from last night.
But he didn’t take it seriously. After breakfast, he started practicing Wuqinxi in the yard.
In the morning he went to the medical clinic to say goodbye to Zhao Zhiyuan. He had already agreed before that he would study here years ago and come back to study for a while after the Chinese New Year.
Invite the other person to have a meal together at noon, which is a way of saying thank you.
In the afternoon, Wang An drove back to his hometown with loads of New Year’s goods to celebrate the New Year. It was past seven o’clock in the evening when he arrived home.
After parking the car, Wang An took out the large and small bags of New Year's goods from the car. The two old people who heard the sound came out of the house and looked at him from ear to ear happily.
“Grandma, grandpa, I bought a car.” Wang An patted the new car.
“Okay, okay, okay!” The two old people were even happier looking at the new car.
“Come on, come in and have a seat.” Wang An opened the car door and asked the two old men to get in the car.
“I’ll drive you around tomorrow in my car.”
“Hey, what are you going to do when you go out for a ride? It wastes gas.”
“Hey, we’re not short of money.” Wang An said with a smile.
“You’re exhausted from driving all day, have you eaten?”
"have eaten."
Wang An helped the two old people back home.
“Grandpa, when I was not at home, did you stop practicing the Wu Qin Xi I taught you? Is your back pain better?”
“Practice, practice every day, now I’m much better.” The old man smiled.
"real?"
“Really.” The old man nodded.
"Listen to his nonsense. Since you left last time, he has practiced fishing every day since he remembered it. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets." Wang An's grandmother said with a smile.
"That won't work. Now that I'm back, I'll supervise your practice every day these days."
Going back home, I chatted with the two old people for a long time.
“Xiao An, are you still working in the same company? You don’t usually come back so early.”
“I changed companies. In this company, I have more freedom to work and make a lot of money. I now have other ways to make money.
Besides, didn’t you guys say it last time? I’m rich, and it doesn’t matter whether I work or not. "
“Yeah, as long as you like it.” The old man nodded happily.
“Come, grandpa, lie down. I recently learned Chinese massage from a doctor of medicine. You can try my skills.”
After hearing this, the old man lay down happily, revealing his skinny back.
Wang An began to massage the old man, first slowly, to relax the old man's muscles and promote blood circulation in the back and waist.
During the massage process, Wang An would stop from time to time and ask the old man how he felt.
“Grandpa, how do you feel here? Does it hurt, is it numb or not?”
"A little pain."
“Where is this place?”
“It hurts too.”
After this massage, Wang An already had a general understanding of the old man's back and lumbar spine.
As people get older, the flow of Qi and blood is definitely not as good as that of young people. When Qi and blood are weak, the meridians are prone to blockage.
With blocked meridians, Qi and blood flow even worse, which is a vicious cycle.
If a person's meridians are kept open at all times and Qi and blood circulate adequately, human aging can be delayed.
After giving the old man a massage, Wang An applied a plaster on him.
This is not an ordinary plaster, it is a secret recipe passed down from Zhao Zhiyuan's ancestors. The specially made plaster is much better than ordinary plasters in reducing swelling, relieving pain, relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation.
Wang An specially bought some from him before leaving.
“Well, I feel much more comfortable, okay, our ancestors are still very good at making things!” the old man praised.
“If it works, I’ll give you a massage every day.”
“You have just completed an effective TCM massage. The old man’s pain has been relieved to a certain extent. TCM massage experience +10.”
The prompt appears.
After chatting with the two old men for a while, Wang An returned to his room.
He took out a notebook and carefully drew a meridian diagram on the back of the human body, and then marked some acupuncture points.
These are the problematic meridians and acupuncture points on his grandfather’s back that he has determined through today’s massage. Tomorrow he can perform targeted massage treatment, and the effect will be better than today.
After finishing his work, he took out the "Vajra Zen" and read it twice carefully.
He can now understand most of the scriptures at the end of the Diamond Sutra. In addition to some Buddhist words, there are also many acupuncture points and meridians.
“Could this be the legendary inner strength and mental method?”
The more Wang An looked at it, the more it looked like a martial arts secret book.
It's just that he can't practice this mental method at all because he has no true energy.
“Does this legendary thing like internal energy and true qi really exist? If it does exist, or has ever existed, how did it come about?”
I have thought about this question more than once.
“The mission is to explore the secret of Zhenqi. Is the legendary Zhenqi a real existence, or is it just a mythical legend?
If it is real, please try to practice Qi. If it's fake, just call it a dream. "
Task, see also task.
Zhenqi, isn’t that something in martial arts novels? How to explore it and where to explore it?
“The number of unfinished tasks has reached three, stop triggering new tasks.”
Special reminder appears again.
“There is also this restriction. If you fail to complete three tasks, you cannot punish new tasks?”
The three tasks that Wang An has not completed yet are:
Practice real Tai Chi,
A punch weighs a thousand kilograms,
There is another one that has just been triggered to explore the mystery of true energy.
Of these three tasks, the easier one to complete is "One punch weighs a thousand catties", and Wang An also decided to start with him first.
“After completing the task of restoring health last time, I obtained the practice method of “Five Animals”. I don’t know what rewards I can get for completing this task.”
After reciting the Tao Te Ching several times, Wang An turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In his dream, he saw the blurry figure again, standing not far from him. He couldn't see clearly his appearance or clothing, but he could vaguely feel that the other person was staring at him.
“It’s this dream again, it’s really strange!”
After waking up in the morning, Wang An thought about his dream last night.
“Is it because of that painting?” He thought of the painting of a ghost eating a human being, and the reminder he got after seeing that painting.
“Has your mind been affected, causing you to have that inexplicable dream?”
Get up, wash up, and prepare breakfast for the two old people.
After breakfast, he took the two old men to practice Wu Qin Xi together.
In the morning, he drove the two old people out for a walk.
“I went there to collect firewood in the mountains when I was a child.” Not far after leaving the village, the old man pointed to a mountain road not far away.
“There were bandits on that mountain.”
The car was driving slowly, and the two old men looked out the window and talked from time to time, either about past experiences or some hearsay stories.
The face is full of smiles.
Wang Jing listened quietly.
