Beast Familiar: Beasts are just for me to bond with

"In less than two months, you and Abao have mastered Xingyiquan. This talent is truly unprecedented, and I'm afraid there will be no one in the future."

Sun Hong's eyes were filled with approval and he was deeply moved.

Chen Wen smiled humbly. After all, he was cheating and it was normal to achieve such results.

Abao didn't understand, but from the look in Sun Hong's eyes he knew it was a good word, and he hummed proudly.

"According to our sect's practice, we usually only teach ordinary disciples the Three Body Stake Kung Fu, the Five Elements Boxing and the Twelve Forms of Xingyi, but after all, talents are rare..."

After listening to Sun Hong's explanation, Chen Wen quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for your cultivation."

His gratitude was sincere. Sun Hong didn't expect anything from him at all. He was really sincere in teaching him and Abao Xingyiquan for free.

Abao also hurriedly bent down and bowed under Chen Wen's command.

Sun Hong raised his hand to signal Chen Wen and the others to stand up, and continued: "I'm here mainly to teach you more advanced breathing techniques.

The human body is breathing all the time, and our method of breathing and training the internal organs is to exercise the muscles and bones and nourish the internal organs by adjusting the breathing during boxing practice..."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hands, bent down and squatted slightly, and slowly assumed the three-position pose.

"When you practiced Xingyi Quan before, you used the natural breathing method. This method follows the natural trend of the boxing, and the breathing and movements are coordinated. It is the best way to familiarize yourself with the boxing moves and exercise the strength of the whole body. Today, I will teach you two other breathing methods.

…”

Sun Hong's voice was not loud, but every word was clearly heard in Chen Wen's ears.

At the same time, he practiced Xingyiquan at a leisurely pace, explaining in detail the rhythm of each breath and the coordination of movements.

"breathe……"

Along with his heavy breathing, Sun Hong's chest and abdomen rose and fell slowly, echoing the Xingyi Fist he performed.

These two breathing methods are not complicated. What is important is their coordination. Breathing fast or slow will not have a positive effect, but will harm the body.

This simple method of breathing and exhaling may have been summed up through countless experiments by our ancestors.

After a long time, Sun Hong stopped punching.

This time he practiced without making any punching sounds, just like an old man practicing Tai Chi in a park.

Then at this moment, there was billowing heat rising all over his body, as if he had just performed an extremely strenuous exercise.

Sun Hong breathed slowly and said: "Flower breathing method is better at strengthening the body and enhancing the power of boxing. And reverse breathing method is good at training internal energy and improving the mastery of dark energy..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Originally, our sect had a breathing method that specialized in cultivating internal strength, but unfortunately it was lost in the war. Now we can only rely on boxing to develop strength."

Hearing the "breathing method to cultivate inner strength", a strange color flashed in Chen Wen's eyes.

I don’t know if his Quanzhen Internal Skill counts. Logically speaking, it should be a more advanced breathing method, right?

Sun Hong came to his senses and asked Chen Wendao: "Have you memorized both breathing techniques?"

Chen Wen replied: "The forward breathing method is very similar to the breathing and exhalation in the fighting style. I also remember the breathing rhythm of the reverse breathing method."

Sun Hong nodded: "Just remember it, and then you can experience it on your own and find the breathing method that suits you. It should be noted that the reverse breathing method should not be practiced lightly. If you are greedy for temporary success, you may damage your body."

"Yes!" Chen Wen responded quickly.

According to his understanding, natural breathing is breathing and exhaling in conjunction with boxing techniques.

Smooth breathing uses breathing to transfer internal energy to the fists and feet to increase the power of the fists and feet.

The reverse breathing is just the opposite. The internal energy goes against the boxing method, so the body will react, allowing the martial artist to more easily perceive the internal energy in the body, so as to better practice and master the internal energy.

Chen Wen speculated that the reason for the existence of the reverse breathing method is that ordinary people obtain too little spiritual energy through boxing practice, so they can only find the weak spiritual energy through "self-mutilation".

Of course, if this kind of "self-mutilation" is well controlled, it can also effectively improve physical fitness.

After teaching Chen Wen the breathing method, Sun Hong sat down and asked: "Have you had any problems practicing Xingyi Quan recently?"

Chen Wen let A Bao move on his own, then sat on the other side and said, "I originally wanted to ask Master An Jin to practice, but I didn't expect that Master had a wonderful idea and directly taught me the breathing method."

You can practice Anjin when you breathe in the reverse direction, and you can use Anjin when you breathe forward. Chen Wen doesn’t need to ask more.

Sun Hong smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, feeling happy.

Chen Wen continued: "However, there are still areas where the teacher's guidance is needed."

Sun Hong took a sip of tea and said, "You tell me."

"It's like this, my apprentice, I am participating in the National High School Beast Taming Competition..." Chen Wen explained.

Sun Hongdao: "I know, Lin Wu told me, and you advertised for him..."

Speaking of this, Sun Hong joked: "If you can participate in the national competition, you can also advertise for Master's martial arts gym."

"no problem!"

Chen Wen agreed wholeheartedly, and then said: "A Bao has learned martial arts and is much stronger than ordinary pet beasts, but he is still a little unable to deal with many pet beasts, such as thorns, porcupines and so on..."

Chen Wen explained it to Sun Hong, and then asked: "Master, does our sect have any external skills like Iron Cloth Shirt, or Iron Sand Palm?"

Sun Hong shook his head when he heard this and said: "Our Sun Xingyi Quan is an internal martial art, with the purpose of maintaining health. External Kung Fu squeezes potential and vitality, which is harmful to Xingyi Quan, so it is not included in the sect."

Chen Wen was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't show it.

It was enough for him to learn secret power from Sun Hong. He couldn't just ask Sun Hong to solve any problem.

After taking a short rest, Sun Hong asked Chen Wen and Abao to practice the breathing method, while he gave guidance.

The breathing method is not difficult at all. Chen Wen and Abao found the trick after practicing it for a few times. They mastered the cis breathing, and the rest is just proficiency.

As for the reverse breathing method, Sun Hong suggested that Chen Wen and Abao master the forward breathing method before practicing it to avoid damaging their foundation.

In addition to the breathing method, Sun Hong asked Chen Wen and Abao to choose one-form visualization and began to try to learn boxing intention.

Chen Wen thought about it and undoubtedly chose the bear shape.

Sun Hong nodded and said: "If you and Abao are together day and night, you will indeed master the bear form faster."

After a pause, he suggested: "You can take A Bao to take a film..."

"What?" Chen Wen said in surprise.

What the hell is filming? This is not ancient martial arts at all.

Sun Wen said in surprise: "Isn't this normal? Through the film, Abao's bones and internal organs can be clearly reflected, which greatly eases the difficulty of visualization."

Chen Wen was speechless.

Sun Hong continued: "First visualize the appearance, and then fill in the bones and organs. When you and Abao complete this step, I will teach you the last step."

"Okay." Chen Wen nodded.

After Sun Hong finished giving instructions on Chen Wen, he left the martial arts school and returned to Kyoto.

"Last time I became a disciple, I didn't prepare any training for the teacher. I couldn't stop thinking about it..."

Chen Wen took out a gift box from his schoolbag and handed it to Sun Hong, "I bought some supplements this time. I hope the teacher will always be in good health."

"I'm interested!"

Sun Hong didn't open it and accepted it with a smile.

For him, intention is enough, and he doesn't expect Chen Wen to give any heavy gifts.

In the car.

Sun Hong opened Chen Wen's gift box, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"It's actually wild ginseng? It's still thirty or forty years old. It's no wonder that I came to Qinghe City to teach you."

Although he didn't make any remarks, he was still very pleased with his apprentice's filial piety.
