Cultivating From Obtaining Experience

  Chapter 33 Bright energy and dark energy

  Wang An thought for a while, his body sank slightly, and strength arose from his feet, all the way up, and instantly reached the palm of his hand.

  Tai Chi Spiral Strength,

   It slapped on the pad all at once, using less than one-third of the strength.

  Zhao Zhiyuan's body retreated uncontrollably, and he stopped after taking five or six steps.

  He raised his head and looked at Wang An in surprise.

   "The strength of your palm is not weaker than that of Li Xinzhu's Paoquan. You haven't used your full strength yet. Can Taijiquan be so strong?"

   "Tai Chi can be slow or fast, soft or hard, Yin and Yang are compatible, and the combination of hardness and softness is Tai Chi."

   "Then you are dark energy?"

   "Dark energy?"

   "Bright strength, dark strength, transformation strength. Don't all martial arts practitioners say this?"

   "This statement actually originated from Xingyiquan. Many boxing styles do not agree with it, because various boxing techniques have different origins and there is no unified standard. Do you also practice boxing?"

   "No practice, just some interest." Zhao Zhiyuan smiled, and then put away the protective gear.

   "Go back and prepare first, we will start class tomorrow."

   "Okay, what about tuition?"

   "No tuition fee, can you teach me Tai Chi?"

"good."

  Wang Anneng doesn't have much time to study, because Zhao Zhiyuan is still studying for a Ph. D. and has not graduated. He only has the winter vacation period. Once the winter vacation is over, he will go back to school.

   There is still at least a week's time when the medical center will be closed, so the time is very tight.

  In the end, Wang An didn't pay a penny, and left with the two books and the list.

  After coming out of the clinic, he went to the bookstore in Hu'an City, where he found two books "Illustration of Human Meridians and Acupuncture Points" and "Huangdi Neijing".

  In addition to these two books, he also specially bought several other books.

   "Book of Changes", "Tao Te Ching", "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", "Huang Ting Jing", "Shuo Zen"...

  Books? It won’t hurt to buy a few more books.

  After returning to his residence, it was still early, so he started his daily practice again.

  In addition to the usual exercise methods, he added another one, practicing Vajra Zen Palm.

   Wave your palm three hundred times a day according to the practice method explained in that ancient book.

  Just practice that style, King Kong beats the table.

   "You waved your palm two hundred times, what did you realize?"

   "What did you realize? I didn't realize anything!" Wang Anxin said.

   "Is it possible that if you want to practice this palm technique, you have to go to a Buddhist temple, and you have to go to Faxing Temple in Zhongyue?"

   After dinner, I continued to walk bricks in the yard, and then I practiced push-ups and squats every day.

  Before falling asleep at night, he picked up the "Speaking of Zen"

   After reading for a while, it explained some Buddhist allusions, some commonly used words and allusions in Buddhist scriptures. There are also some classic Buddhist verses.

   "You have read "Shuo Chan" and have a little understanding of Buddhism."

   "This adjective is really accurate, a little bit."

  The next morning, Wang An arrived as scheduled and began to learn massage from Zhao Zhiyuan.

  Zhao Zhiyuan first took the model as an example to explain the main meridians of the human body, as well as the corresponding organs and functions of these meridians.

  Then explained to him the most basic massage techniques including pushing, holding, lifting, pinching, kneading, etc.

  Different diseases require different techniques for different locations.

  After Zhao Zhiyuan explained it, he happened to meet a patient with cervical discomfort who came to massage him to relieve his pain.

  The man looked in his forties, with a thin body and a lot of white hair on his head.

  After obtaining the patient's consent, Zhao Zhiyuan asked Wang An to try the man's shoulders and muscles at the back of the neck.

  Wang An stretched out his hand to touch it, squeezed it a little and tried it.

  It is very stiff and hard. Even if the patient does not exert force on purpose, the muscles on the shoulders feel tense.

   "This is excessive fatigue, frequent muscle contraction, more lactic acid is secreted, and lactic acid accumulates in the muscle tissue, which will cause swelling, sudden stiffness and pain.

  At this time, you can use traditional Chinese massage techniques for treatment, mainly kneading and pressing. "

   It was Zhao Zhiyuan who explained, but it was one of his father's students who performed Chinese massage.

  The man first rubbed and pressed the patient's shoulder with his palm. At first, the strength was relatively small, and he gradually increased his strength.

  Hiss, the man suddenly took a breath.

   "How does it feel?"

   "Aches and pains."

"to beat."

   "Pay special attention to this place." Zhao Zhiyuan pointed to the position of the cervical spine under the patient's brainstem.

   "The cervical spine and brainstem are very important and sensitive parts. Gently kneading and pressing should be done in moderation."

   After about ten minutes, Wang An saw that the patient was sweating on his forehead, and the person who treated him was also sweating on his forehead.

  One is hurting, the other is tired.

   "Traditional Chinese massage is a physical activity." Zhao Zhiyuan said beside him.

  After this person left, Zhao Zhiyuan treated himself as a patient and taught Wang An the method of massage.

   "You have learned Chinese massage, Chinese massage (beginner and practice)."

   New skills appear again.

   When it was almost noon, an unexpected visitor came to the medical hall, Li Xinzhu.

   "What's wrong with your neck?" Wang An pointed to the scratches on Li Xinzhu's left neck.

   "This is what the red romance made the sister in it tickle."

   "It's not my sister, it's a cat."

   "Cat, what cat, catwoman, cosplay, are you okay?"

   "Nonsense, it's a cat, not a girl, m-ao, a cat! You said yesterday that you can exercise your reaction ability by practicing with animals.

  I happened to meet a few wild cats last night, went up and tried them, and then got scratched. "Li Hsin-chu said unhappily.

   "The idea is good, don't rush, take your time." Wang An was slightly startled when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Xinzhu to be so kind.

   "Stop talking, I'm here to find you on business." Li Xinzhu said.

   "Business, what business?"

   "Look, it's already noon, it's time for lunch, isn't this a business?"

"King crab?"

   "Yes." Li Xinzhu nodded.

   "Succeed, shall Dr. Zhao come with you? My treat." Wang An turned to look at Zhao Zhiyuan who was beside him.

   "I have something to do at noon, so I won't go." Zhao Zhiyuan said with a smile.

   "Okay, then another day, let's go."

   Li Hsinchu was driving, and Wang An was in the car.

   "I know a place to eat good king crab."

   "Listen to me this time." Sitting in the passenger seat, Wang An looked at his phone. "Turn left at the next intersection."

  Li Hsinchu followed Wang An's guidance and made many twists and turns along the way.

   "Where is this going?"

   "It's just ahead, you'll know when you see it, it's almost here, find a place to park."

  Li Xinzhu found a place to stop the car and followed behind Wang An.

   "There is also a restaurant in this place that eats king crab. Why haven't I heard of it? How does it taste?"

   "Everything I've eaten is good, and it ranks among the top few on the food list."
