Start from miscellaneous fish to gain experience and cultivate immortality

Chapter 2 Where there’s a will, there’s a way

With these successful exploration experiences in the past, while studying and practicing, Wang Shen began to think of ways to read various books, from the school, from the scholar's family in the county, from some wealthy families in the countryside, from temples outside the county...

He is looking for those "secret books" that may be lost among the people, but there is only a trace of fantasy.

The reason why Wang Shen is so persistent is because he once saw Lei Liang, the leader of the Qinghe Gang, knocking a cow away with one palm. It was really like slapping the cow to death with one palm.

It is said that there are more powerful people in this world who can climb a river, cross a river, and paddle a river to form a land.

He thought that he could learn more skills and be more capable of protecting himself.

If he wants to survive in this world, he can only rely on himself since he has not found a huggable thigh for the time being.

Unexpectedly, he actually found an ancient book today that looked like a secret book of cultivation.

Wang Shen spent more than an hour carefully reading this book twice. The book was not thick, and he knew all the characters in it, but there were a few words that he did not understand very well, and he did not expect to be able to read them in a short time.

"Where there is a will, there is a way" does not mean that if you want to do something, you can do it all at once. It requires a process, the right method, perseverance, day after day hard work, and perseverance.

When he went out in the afternoon, he held a corn cob about one finger long in his hand and squeezed it repeatedly with his five fingers.

This is a method he devised by himself, to practice the finger strength of the five fingers. The hand with muscles and bones is very demanding on the finger strength of the five fingers.

He learned this kung fu from Chen Zheng, but he didn't learn all the skills and had very few body skills. It is said that when you pass on the boxing, you don’t pass on the steps. You pass on the steps to hit the master. Footwork is very important in Kung Fu. According to Chen Zheng, his cousin didn't teach him footwork either, and he probably had some reservations. After all, he was not a biological brother.

Wang Shen did not go to the branch of the Qinghe Gang, but went to the county medical clinic. Recently, he has begun to think of ways to learn medical skills from the doctors at the medical clinic.

Here, he learned about acupuncture points, meridians, the effects of some drugs, which places will cause dizziness and fainting, which parts of the body are likely to cause death, which medicinal materials can stop bleeding, and which poisons are life-threatening...

He studied very seriously. After all, these were matters of life and death. At critical moments, he could save his own life or take the lives of others.

Moreover, what he is practicing now is the hand-splitting of tendons and bones. Splitting tendons and bones requires a basic understanding of the human body, so that he can better utilize the power of this technique.

With the little medical knowledge from my previous life, plus the knowledge I learned from the county doctor here. Wang Shen now has a certain understanding of the acupuncture points, meridians, and bones of the human body. What he needs to do next is to continue learning and then verify.

How to verify it? Naturally, it must be verified on the human body, such as on my own body, or on Chen Zheng's body.

After returning home in the afternoon, Wang Shen took out the Taoist scripture again and read it several times.

The parts that originally seemed obscure and obscure are now a little clearer. It is the description of acupoints and meridians, but it is just a different way of saying it.

There are some differences between Taoists and medical doctors in their descriptions of meridians and acupuncture points, but the differences are not significant.

After reading it several times, taking a closer look, and putting the scriptures away, Wang Shen began to practice.

He grasped the mouth of a wine jar with his five fingers. The wine jar was half filled with mud.

Stand in the horse stance, put your other hand on your waist, stand upright, inhale and raise the altar to chest height, let the energy sink to the Dantian, lift the liver and contract the abdomen. Exhale, let the energy sink and flow, relax the whole body, lower the hand holding the altar to the ground, and practice alternately with the two hands repeatedly.

This training method trains finger strength, wrist strength, waist and horse integration, and the stability of the lower body.

There are no shortcuts to Kung Fu, only practice day after day.

After practicing for nearly an hour, Wang Shen, who was covered in sweat, adjusted his breathing and then began to stretch his muscles. He used the movements in the "Yi Jin Jing" that he had learned by himself in his previous life.

He didn't expect to develop any internal strength, but these movements were quite effective as stretching.

Look at the panel again, [Split the muscles and cross the bones of the hand (Introduction 97/100)]. For more than three months, I continued to practice moves, strengthen strength training, and figured out ways to practice skillfully, rain or shine, and finally achieved the results I have now.

"Almost, let's try harder tonight."

Seeing that an upgrade was in sight, the practice as usual would have ended here. Wang Shen had always practiced step by step. He knew that he could not eat a fat man in one bite, but seeing that today's breakthrough was imminent, he decisively continued to practice harder.

In the room, he continued to use the moves of splitting muscles and bones, grabbing, buckling, crossing, and taking over and over again.

Sweat flowed out, soaked the clothes, and then fell to the ground.

Suddenly his body trembled, and inexplicably he felt that the moves he was practicing suddenly became much smoother.

He raised his hand and grabbed the corn cob on the table, using his strength with his fingers, the corn cob broke into pieces with a loud sound. Then he stretched out his hand to clasp the rough window lattice, exerting force with his fingers and wrist, and with a click, the window lattice broke.

[Split tendons and cross bones in hand (skilled 1/100)].

"Huh, all these days of hard work have indeed been in vain. Where there is a will, there is a way!"

Wang Shen breathed a long sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face.

He is not afraid of hardship, nor is he afraid of tiredness, but he is afraid of hard work, but after working hard, it will be all in vain.

"Finally, I have another capital to protect myself."

Wuyang County is not big, and there are many capable people. If this place were compared to a lake, he would be a trash fish or a shrimp in the lake, and he might be swallowed by others at any time.

Chen Zheng also has a cousin who is a deacon. The only one he can rely on is himself.

After practicing the exercises, he did not forget to stretch his muscles again, and then boiled water and took a comfortable hot bath.

By this time, the sky outside had already completely darkened, and it was pitch black and quiet.

Wang Shen did not light a lamp. After all, candles also cost money.

Gulu, Gulu, Wang Shen's stomach growled again.

Such a large amount of exercise, and when you are seventeen or eighteen years old and your body is growing, it is normal to feel hungry quickly.

He cooked a pot of porridge and added a boiled egg without meat. After eating, he felt much better.

"Go buy a fish and make soup tomorrow."

Just outside Wuyang County is Qinghe River. You can rely on mountains to eat mountains and rivers to eat rivers. There is no shortage of river fresh food. In many cases, fish is cheaper than rice.

After eating, I walked around the house to eat, and then lay down on the bed.

Nightlife in this world is much more monotonous. It could be more enriching if he had more money, but unfortunately he has no money, not to mention he is very tired from practicing. He lay on the bed and fell asleep without realizing it, and the day passed like usual.

The next day, Wang Shen no longer held a corncob in his hand, but a small piece of wood, which was much harder than a corncob.

This is the practice method he came up with. The wood is not big and is not conspicuous in his hand. He can practice at any time. When he crushes this small piece of wood, he can continue to replace it with something harder.
