Dream Journey from Shaolin

Chapter 9 Seven Star Pile

The last piece is also the heaviest one. Jiang Ming exerted all his strength, and even his face flushed. It just reached the position of his chest, and when he lifted it to the top of his head, he couldn't do it. After a few tries , helplessly loosened it,
Five stones, six hundred catties, three hundred catties, that is to say, his current limit is six hundred catties, but he is only 14 years old, not yet an adult, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
No wonder in his memory, his father could tear bears and leopards with bare hands. In that world, the power of adults is simply too terrifying, but such a terrifying father was easily wiped off his neck by the man in black.
This strengthened Jiang Ming's determination to become stronger!
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ming raised his head, but what greeted him was a pair of wide open eyes,
"Junior brother, admire! Admire!"

The monks collectively hugged Jiang Ming, obviously shocked,

"I didn't expect there to be such a person with natural supernatural power. It was rumored that Li Yuanba, the third son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, was born with supernatural power. He used a pair of golden hammers for beating drums and urns, which weighed nearly seven stones. He was the most powerful general in the world. It's true!"

Tan Zong looked at Jiang Ming and couldn't help sighing,
You must know that the strength of this group of monks who go through hard training every day is about three stones, and he himself is four stones at his peak.

But Juexin is only 14 years old, and he has the strength close to five stones without training. Once he practices martial arts well, when he becomes an adult, he may not be another character like Li Yuanba.
"Master, although this disciple is stronger, he doesn't understand the technique. Compared with the senior brothers, he is still far behind!"

Jiang Ming didn't feel a little proud when he heard the praise from Tanzong, because he knew that he was really nothing. Maybe he was stronger in this world and had some advantages over ordinary people, but when he returned to that world, his The strength is just the same as that of ordinary people,

"Okay, let's go eat breakfast!"

Tan Zong was very satisfied with Jiang Ming's modest attitude, he couldn't help laughing and asked everyone to break up for dinner,
The monks, who were already hungry, heard about the meal, and no longer cared about Jiang Ming's supernatural power, and all rushed to the cafeteria of the temple happily.

After breakfast, Jiang Ming followed the fellow monks to chop firewood in the mountains, and when he came back, he practiced kicking and boxing. When the monks began to practice their own kung fu in the afternoon, Emperor Tan took Jiang Ming aside alone.
"Juexin, although you are born with supernatural power, but because you haven't practiced kung fu, your energy is scattered and you can't concentrate it. You can only use four or five points of your tenacious strength!"

Jiang Ming was taken aback when he heard this, what else is there to say?

Does Tanzong mean that the strength he is showing now is less than half due to the dispersion of strength!
"Master, but just now I have exhausted all my strength!"

Tanzong shook his head,

"What you use is only weak strength. People who have not practiced generally cannot exert the full strength of the body. Just like when you just lifted the stone mill, you basically used the strength of your arms, waist, spine, and legs. Most of the power is useless!"

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ming suddenly realized that the human body is like a precise and complicated machine, and every bone and every muscle is a part of this machine.
What Tanzong meant was that he only used a part of the components just now, and did not let all the parts of the whole machine work together.
"Then how can I bring out all my strength?"

Jiang Ming asked curiously,

Tan Zong laughed and said:

"This is the focus of what I'm going to teach you next-stand up!"

"Stand up?"

Jiang Ming was stunned,
"Yes, standing stance allows you to quickly control every part of your body. Those who have achieved great stance can even perfectly exert all the strength in the body, and can achieve the unity of strength and send and receive freely!"

Tanzong explained in a full-fledged manner,

Fuck, this stance seems to be awesome, I want to learn, I must learn!
Looking at Jiang Ming's longing eyes, Tan Zong couldn't help but smile triumphantly,
In this world, it is hard to find a good master, and it is also hard to find a good apprentice. An apprentice like Jiang Ming who is bound to become a master, and Master Tan Zong also have a sense of accomplishment, especially now that Jiang Ming is still a rookie. Let him teach with joy,
"Today, Master will start to teach you how to stand uprights. Take care, this is my Shaolin Seven Stars pile!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and taught while standing on the pile:
"Like this, separate your feet from front to back, with your right foot behind you, with your toes out, your right leg in a half-squat, your left leg on the front heel, your toes up, slightly outward, and your body's center of gravity shifted to your right leg.

The front legs are empty and the back legs are solid, the upper body is upright, both hands are forward in front of the chest, the left hand is in front, the height is shoulder level, the palm is facing the right front and bottom, the palm is pointing forward and upward, the tiger's mouth is open, the right hand is behind, attached to the left elbow On the inside, the palm is inclined inward and downward, the palm points forward, the tiger's mouth is open, and the left hand's tiger's mouth is open. "

Jiang Ming looked at Tan Zong's pose, and imitated it on the spot according to his teaching.

"Master, is that so?"

"No, if you want to do this, then you can't make any mistakes on purpose, otherwise you'll be just a fake, and it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect!"

Tan Zong got up and began to correct Jiang Ming's mistakes in posture bit by bit.
"You have to remember that when standing on the Seven Star Pillar, the feet should be clearly defined, sitting on the hips and standing on the waist, with the head straight and the neck straight, the shoulders dropped to the elbows, the arms slightly bent, the tiger's mouth rounded, and the whole body relaxed.
When breathing, you should breathe through your nose, keep your breathing natural, even, slow, and slender, and don't be impatient.

When exhaling, imagine that the inner air is released from the index fingers of both hands; when inhaling, imagine the fresh air between heaven and earth enters the human body from the Laogong point of both hands and sinks into the dantian."

According to the teaching of Tanzong, Jiang Ming slowly began to have some feelings, but this feeling was fleeting, as if it was just a hallucination, and gradually made him a little irritable,

Tanzong has rich experience, upon seeing this, he immediately taught:

"You can't eat a big fat man with one bite. The seven-star pile is not as simple as you imagined. It takes a long time to practice to get into the state. You are just starting, so why rush!"

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Ming calmed down his impatience, and continued to follow the teachings of Tanzong, and stood up on the seven-star pile. Gradually, the feeling seemed to appear again,
"Stand like this for half an hour (an hour), then turn left and right, change positions and stand for another half an hour!"

Tan Zong saw that Jiang Ming had entered the state, nodded in satisfaction, turned around and practiced his Seven Star Mantis Fist,

Just like that, Jiang Ming kept changing positions, and Jiang Ming didn't stop until before dinner.
Standing for two consecutive hours, even with his abnormal physical fitness, is exhausting enough.
