Chapter 421: Innate Internal Strength Breathing Method
Chapter 421: Innate Internal Strength Breathing Method
Lu Cheng originally thought that Elder Zhizhen was going to ask some questions related to Buddhism or philosophy, but he did not expect that the other party's first question would be about the situation in the north.
"Donor Lu, what do you think of the Liao Kingdom in the north?"
"The Liao Kingdom has always been ambitious and has always been eyeing the Central Plains. However, the Liao Kingdom is now internally divided and corrupt, and the day of its demise is not far away. However, the situation in our Song Dynasty is also not good. In the future, on the northern grasslands..."
Lu Cheng briefly talked about the situation in the north, and Elder Zhizhen nodded repeatedly: "If the northern grasslands invade our Central Plains in the future, what will Master Lu do?"
"It's just fighting."
"Master Lu, are you willing to pass on your skills in the future?"
"Of course. I also hope that there will be more heroes in the Central Plains who can protect the country and the people."
"I believe everything you said. Please stay in the temple for two days. I will tell you everything."
"In that case, thank you very much, Master, for your help."
In fact, this Elder Zhizhen was over 70 years old, his vitality had begun to decline, and he had long wanted to pass everything on. It was just that his previous disciples, such as Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Shi Wengong, had not yet practiced their kung fu to the highest level, and thus were unable to pass on the method of internal cultivation.
Now that he saw Lu Cheng, who was already practicing internal training at such a young age, Zhou Tong had the idea of passing on what he had learned.
In the next two days, Elder Zhizhen wrote three prescriptions for Lu Cheng. One prescription could be used with external training to strengthen the bones and muscles and increase strength. The other could be used with internal training to regulate the five internal organs and strengthen the qi and blood.
There is also a prescription that Zhou Tong developed himself. It is an external application prescription specifically used to strengthen the arms and make them stronger.
In addition to these three prescriptions, there is also a set of exercises called "Innate Internal Strength Breathing Method", which, combined with boxing and breathing, can exercise the five internal organs, strengthen muscles and bones, and enhance qi and blood.
This set of skills has many similarities with the Tiger Roaring Thunder Sound that Lu Cheng figured out, but also has some different emphases, which provided Lu Cheng with a great reference.
Combining his in-depth understanding of the human body with medical theory, Lu Cheng quickly figured out some tricks that greatly inspired his own practice.
Lu Cheng guessed that when Lu Zhishen later came to Mount Wutai to become a monk, he might have learned some of these internal strengthening methods from Elder Zhizhen, which further developed his body's potential and enabled him to possess extraordinary supernatural powers, able to uproot weeping willows.
Although Lu Da, whom Lu Cheng had met before, could be said to have supernatural powers and extraordinary talents, he had not yet reached the top.
Now that I have met Elder Zhizhen, I feel like I have met a true master.
I just don't know how many masters like this there are in this world, and how many methods of internal strengthening there are.
Suddenly, Lu Cheng had one more reason to want to dominate the world: to unify the world, to gather talents and classics, to push martial arts to the extreme, and to improve his personal strength to the extreme.
After obtaining these, Lu Cheng did not continue his journey, but returned to Shijiazhuang in Huayin County with Shi Jin.
When the two returned to Shijiazhuang again, it was already the end of October.
If we follow the timeline in the original novel, Shi Jin was surrounded by government officials at this time because he colluded with the bandits in Shaohua Mountain. He then broke out of the siege, met Lu Da, and beat up Zhen Guanxi.
But thanks to the appearance of Lu Cheng, Shijiazhuang is still doing well now, and Shi Jin is still the owner of Shizhuang.
Moreover, by following Lu Cheng along the way, Shi Jin not only broadened his horizons and improved his martial arts, but also gained more knowledge and understood many things that were right and wrong.
"Da Lang, you are devoted to martial arts and don't like to study. You have never seen the dangers of the world and are easily deceived. Before, you let the three bandits from Shaohua Mountain go because you thought they were very loyal. But you have to think about it. Even if they are loyal, they are still bandits after all. They make a living by robbing and looting. How many murders have they committed and how many innocent lives have they harmed?
You are the son of a respectable family, the owner of Shijiazhuang, and you have a bright future. If Zhu Wu and others really regard you as a friend and sincerely want the best for you, they should not have too much contact with you, so as not to implicate you.
If they give you gifts and want to keep you company for a long time, there must be a purpose behind it. You should be careful."
"Brother Lu, rest assured. I will no longer have any dealings with them, let alone accept any gifts from them. Also, I have benefited a lot from this trip. I plan to travel again after the Chinese New Year. By then, I will go to Jeju Prefecture to visit Brother Lu."
"You're welcome anytime."
When they returned to Shijiazhuang, they saw Jin Cui Lian and her daughter waiting there.
Seeing Lu Cheng returning, Jin Cui Lian's almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Lu Cheng, unable to move away.
They had only met briefly a few times in Weizhou before, and Jin Cui Lian did not have a deep affection for this lifesaver. After this period of separation and longing for each other, the love she had for him grew day by day.
"Sir, you have had a hard journey. Why don't you change your clothes and let me wash them for you?"
"Okay." Lu Cheng went to wash up, handed his clothes to Jin Cui Lian, and then asked about how they, father and daughter, had been doing recently.
Lu Cheng stayed at Shi Jin's farm for three days before returning to Yuncheng with Jin Cui Lian and her daughter.
In order to facilitate the journey, Lu Cheng also recruited several servants from Huayin County and bought a clever little maid to take care of Jin Cui Lian.
After walking more than a thousand miles and taking more than a month, Lu Cheng finally led his men back to Yuncheng County.
After being away from home for half a year, everything was normal at home. Wu Song's wife recently gave birth to a big fat boy.
"Master, these are all the accounts for the past six months. Please take a look."
Lu Cheng looked through the accounts, then called the shopkeepers and production managers from all parties over to question them. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he felt relieved.
Before Lu Cheng left, he made a complete development plan for everything at home. Steward Sun and Manager Liu only needed to carry out production and sales step by step, and there would be no problems.
After understanding the situation at home and having Jin Cui Lian and her daughter as well as the servants he brought back settled, Lu Cheng went to see Wu Song again and inspected his martial arts.
Wu Song is also a martial arts lover. After receiving the breathing method taught by Lu Cheng, he has been practicing diligently. In the past six months, he has made great progress and has fought all over Jeju Prefecture, claiming to be invincible in Jeju.
If Wu Song didn't have a wife and children at home, he would have wanted to meet masters from all sides long ago.
"Master, Wu Song has something to ask of you."
"What's the matter? Just tell me."
"My brother and sister-in-law have been married for more than a year, but my sister-in-law has not yet gotten pregnant. My brother has also consulted a doctor, who said that it may be difficult for her to have children due to her physical defects. The owner of the manor is a skilled doctor, please treat my brother."
"It's not a big deal. Ask your brother and sister-in-law to come over and I'll take a look."
Not long after, Wu Song found Wu Dalang and his wife.
Lu Cheng took the pulse of both of them. There was nothing wrong with Wu Dalang's wife, but Wu Dalang did have some problems, but they could be cured.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng gave Wu Dalang acupuncture and prescribed some Chinese medicine for conditioning.
When Lu Cheng finished all this and returned to the farm, he heard the servants come to report that Song Jiang, the Song Yashi, came to visit...
