After practicing boxing for a while, Wei Bao felt very good about himself and rested.

"Childe, you are now faced with a choice, continue the routine, or practice the exercises. If your purpose is fitness. Or, if the technique is your goal, then you need to start a new practice. At this time, Chang Wuye asked.

Wei Bao was curious: "Is there any difference?" Of course, I practiced to protect myself, at least not to lose to Wu Sangui. ”

"Pushers are different from pushers, and pushers are different for fights and fitness. Listen to the exercises, shake the big pole, our sect will practice slapping sandbags and practicing through strength. Loose hand practice, confrontation, cloth film solid gas. As a martial artist, Wei Gongzi should learn to be tolerant, never abuse force unless his life is materially threatened, and maintain a good attitude. Beginners should learn Tai Chi and strength. Tai Chi can be divided into four processes or four realms: form, energy, mind, and qi. Any action must have offensive and defensive implications, with technical strikes or fitness, or Tai Chi, Yin and Yang meridian theory. The position of the space where the limbs are located, for example, the height of the hands is generally in front of the nose, which is in line with the principle of martial arts, and no one's nose can be trained to be hard. Accurate force method, rigid and soft strength, virtual and real strength, round brace strength, circle and whole, strength is the top priority of Tai Chi, people who practice martial arts are different from people who do not practice martial arts, the most important thing is that people who practice martial arts know how to use the force skills on the body, forming a cohesive force, and people who have not practiced will only use local force. Both internal and external, both form and spirit, sincerity, temperament, brilliance, charm. Conduct qi with intention, urge force with qi, and unify "shape", "strength", "meaning" and "qi". Qi is the first line of defense of the human body, which gathers in the body to protect the internal organs, and flows on the surface of the skin to prevent external evil from invading and causing diseases. Most of the years or even decades of practicing Tai Chi have not touched the door, let alone started. Chang Wuye explained.

Wei Bao nodded, realized.

"Qi" is a Chinese philosophy. A common concept in Taoism, Chinese medicine, and Chinese Qigong. If you can understand "qi", you will also understand traditional Chinese medicine, not only "meridians" and "acupuncture points". I also understand that like Zhuangzi's chaotic philosophy, the Tai Chi concept is a trance-like attitude towards the phenomena and essence of all things, as well as this way of thinking itself, which actually contains sober and wise philosophy, and its ultimate purpose is to hope that human activities will conform to the Tao and the laws of nature, not be bound by external objects, "do nothing but do nothing", and finally reach a quiet and harmonious spiritual realm that does not tolerate anything.

Wei Bao had been in contact with these things a little bit in modern times, but he didn't practice them personally, so he didn't have such a feeling, and at this time, he was guided, demonstrated, and explained by introductory grandmaster-level figures like Chang Wuye, and the realm was beyond the ability of ordinary self-learners.

After Chang Wuye let Wei Bao practice a set of boxing again, he corrected Wei Bao's several gestures and steps, and then said: "Only if you know how to do it can you get started." Childe doesn't have to be too impatient, too demanding of how good and dexterous he is at practicing Tai Chi. But at least have a basic experience and understanding, so that you know it, and you can use it when you try it. That's a basic understanding. The whole strength is the foundation, there is no foundation, and the other squeezing and pressing are empty, and they are all cooking without rice; Listening is the core, this listening, is the kung fu of knowing oneself and knowing the other, without listening, you can only rely on luck to hit others; The strength is to improve, which is different from the general strength confrontation, and has the effect of introducing the failure and the four or two thousand pounds. Only when you have a basic understanding of the strength, listening, and transformation of energy, and achieve the transformation from mental knowledge to body knowledge, can you start to get started. Further, if you can use these forces comprehensively and effectively, and change them into eight methods and five steps, you can be regarded as a good hand. At that level, out of the specific moves, any movement can contain these strengths, it doesn't seem to be there, and there is no one at all. ”

"So you're now in a state where you don't have specific moves?" Wei Bao asked Fifth Master Chang curiously.

Chang Wuye smiled slightly: "Half of it, my understanding is not high, I play fast, I meet a master, sometimes I can do the moves as I like, most of the time I still focus on moves." ”

"Yes, a master must also have a good opponent in order to stimulate his potential." Wei Bao nodded, secretly envious, I don't know when I will be able to reach such a realm? After practicing the moves, I gradually made moves based on my state of mind, and there were no specific moves, wow, I didn't become a martial arts master?

However, Wei Bao was also secretly vigilant, warning himself that with the teachings of his master, he would not be able to do without his own understanding and diligence.

Master is the one who guides you and corrects deviations at any time, he will tell you about it, show you how to show it, give you a positive shape, give you strength, point out your strengths and weaknesses at any time, and get rid of some unformed ills for you.

But one's own understanding is more important, Tai Chi is broad and profound, and it is difficult for anyone to cover everything. Master said that he can understand the speed and depth of learning in this way. On the contrary, when the master talks about three points, he only realizes a little, or even doesn't understand it at all, and the immortals can't help it.

Wei Bao practiced until the time of the fast fight, and only stopped under the repeated urging of Chang Wuye.

"Childe, practicing martial arts is not something that can be done overnight, you need to insist on it every day, Childe's understanding is very good, I only taught it a few times, Childe has been able to play a complete set of boxing methods, I started for three months, in order to play a complete set of boxing methods." Chang Wuye said.

Wei Bao was overjoyed: "Don't you deliberately talk to make me happy?" Do you need to learn this boxing method for three months? ”

Chang Wuye's face turned red and said with a smile: "I said, I am considered to be poorly talented, and among my senior brothers, I am the least qualified and the most stupid. ”

"How many brothers do you have?" Wei Bao asked.

"A senior brother, a junior brother, but I haven't been in touch for many years, and I don't know if I'm still alive." Fifth Master Chang sighed.

Wei Bao snorted: "Later, today, do you think you can compare to your senior brothers?" ”

When Chang Wuye heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of arrogance: "Even if I can't compare, I will never lose to them, my skills today are already equivalent to those of the master in his prime." Xi Wugui is persistent, forty years of cold and summer work, I have not wasted a day. In order to practice martial arts, I didn't even marry my mother-in-law. ”

Wei Bao sighed, secretly wondering, only to know that Chang Wuye is still single, I am afraid that he has become an idiot in martial arts, and he actually doesn't even want a wife in order to practice martial arts.

"Childe should take a bath early, and then meditate for a stick of incense, and then fall asleep." Chang Wuye added.

Wei Bao is strange, practice is practice, right? Still meditating? "Is there any special method of mindfulness that you want to teach me?"

Chang Wuye smiled: "Exactly, however, the so-called Breathing Heart Method does not have much effect, and meditation is mainly for meticulousness. Let Childe feel that he is a drop of water, and gradually merge into rivers and seas. ”

Wei Bao snorted, and then quietly listened to Chang Wuye explain in detail the key to meditation and breathing.

"I'll do it when I'm done." Wei Bao agreed.

"Remember, don't think about anything, really get rid of all distracting thoughts, and over time, this incense stick will make Gongzi find that it is more effective than practicing for two or three hours." Chang Wuye said.

Wei Bao nodded: "Remember." ”

After Chang Wuye left, Wang Qiuya hurriedly came over: "Hurry up and rest, right?" The hour is not early, and you can't be in a hurry when you practice. ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I don't really think that after practicing for more than ten days, I can fight against someone like Wu Sangui who has practiced for several years." ”

When Wang Qiuya heard Wei Bao say this, she was overjoyed, "Is there any good way for the son?" ”

"Go and call Lin Wenbiao over." Wei Bao took the cloth towel handed over by Wang Qiuya and wiped the sweat on his face.

"Yes, Childe." Wang Qiuya knew that Gongzi must have come up with some good way to call people happily.

Lin Wenbiao came over quickly.

"It's time to use your Statistics Office, before I face off with Wu Sangui, you must find a way to break into the agent and enter the Wu Mansion! Wu Sangui must not be allowed to face me in a healthy state. Wei Bao said.

In fact, when he was still in Shanhailou, Wei Bao had already thought about this method, so he dared to insist on competing with Wu Sangui when Wu Sanfu gave him the steps.

"Before this matter, we were already arranging, but the descendants of the Wu family are all from their clan, and it is very difficult for our agents to break in." Lin Wenbiao said: "Another way we think of is to buy off the subordinates in the Wu Mansion, and now there are several candidates and are working hard." It's just that the stakes are very high, and I don't have full certainty, so I don't dare to expose it easily, for fear that I will get into trouble for my son. ”

After Wei Bao heard this, he nodded, knowing what Lin Wenbiao meant, if Wu Xiang knew that he was going to arrange eyeliner in Wu Mansion, it would not be a trivial matter, no matter whether there was evidence or not, as long as the other party knew that he had similar intentions, he would definitely retaliate harshly.

"Now the situation is urgent, and we must hurry up." Wei Bao just said this, and he didn't dare to push too much and disrupt his subordinates' plans, which would backfire.

In fact, Wei Bao didn't urge, Lin Wenbiao was also very anxious, nodded and said: "Childe, please rest assured, no matter how difficult it is, you must also install eyeliner such as Wu Mansion before Gongzi and Wu Sangui compete, and the president's safety is the first!" ”

When encountering major events, Lin Wenbiao unconsciously used the title of president again, and the core slogan of the Tiandihui is 'gather will and defend the president'.

"How's the matter with the purchase of food?" Wei Bao asked, in addition to the matter of martial arts competitions and scientific expeditions, this is what Wei Bao is most concerned about, because if the food cannot be obtained, there will be big trouble! Once there is a problem with the food of tens of thousands of people, Wei Bao can't imagine how big this kind of chaos will be.

Even if there is a certain political framework that can support a few more days than the food shortage in the outside world, it cannot make people go without food for a long time, once people have nothing to eat for a long time, anything can happen.

"The other party said that he would be able to arrive in three days." Lin Wenbiao replied: "However, after all, it is the first time to contact the Jiangnan Business Gang, so we have to guard against it." ”

Wei Bao heard Lin Wenbiao say this, and fell into thought, Lin Wenbiao said well, he can't count on outsiders, and he is also very worried about the Jiangnan Dashang Group that he contacted for the first time. They came into contact with a supervisor of Xu Weibing, a great merchant of Nanzhili, who was stationed in Shanhaiguan, and this supervisor was doing this kind of thing behind the master's back. It's too big, it's not a little bit of grain, but a lot of grain and grass of 10,000 taels of silver! With so much grain and grass, it is the imperial court's transshipment, and they dare not say that they are nine out of ten.

"What do you mean, is it likely that the other party will come to hack? You don't want to sell us food, you just want to rob us of our silver? Wei Bao asked.

"It's not that there is no such possibility, since these big businessmen dare to go to North Korea to do business, they can't do it without a group of hard hands on the sea route." Lin Wenbiao said: "These people are both businessmen and thieves. ”

Wei Bao snorted, don't say that these merchants are pirates, in fact, they are also merchants and thieves, when they can rob, when they can, when they can't rob, they also need to do business, not to mention that not all the things they rob are convenient to sell and can be exchanged for silver, they don't refuse to do business.

"It's good that you have this defense!" Wei Bao instructed: "We now have more than 200 guards in our hands, and if we really fight, as long as it is in our own territory, we are not afraid." ”

"It's a pity that we are not familiar with the sea routes, so there is no way to send people to North Korea, if we can do business directly with the locals, we don't have to worry about these problems." Lin Wenbiao said: "The main thing is that the other party promised is a little too refreshing, North Korea is a small place, and I always feel that it is impossible to buy tens of thousands of taels of grain and grass at once." ”

"Well, you worry about these things." Wei Bao said: "If you can't spare time, you don't have to go to school with me every day." ”

"Yes, Childe." Lin Wenbiao bowed down and agreed, "My subordinates will retire." ”

Wei Bao waved his hand and asked Lin Wenbiao to step back, and he was about to go back to his room to bathe.

talked to Lin Wenbiao about some official matters, but it didn't make Wei Bao's mood better, everything is something that can't be done right away, and it's all very important, and there is no room for loss.

After taking a bath, Wei Bao began to meditate according to what Chang Wuye said.

In fact, he also wants to be quiet, and he can probably understand the meaning of meditation that Chang Wuye said, which is nothing more than removing distracting thoughts, which are too many distracting thoughts every day, more than the distracting thoughts that were at the bottom of the modern society!

Wei Bao asked himself now in terms of capital, it should be regarded as the middle class of the Ming era, but the social status is still at the lower level, how can it be higher than the modern status, how to say, now he is also in charge of a team of tens of thousands of people!

But it also caused him to be more stressed.

Cutting off all contact with the outside world, Wei Bao closed his eyes and meditated cross-legged, focusing on his breathing.

According to what Chang Wuye said, slowly inhale and exhale, and try to merge yourself with the air.

Wei Bao focuses on breathing, completely emotionally to feel the breath, emotional fluctuations will bring about smooth or rapid breathing, nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, loss, and even anger, which are normal in the process.

Chang Wuye told him that there is no need to deliberately control the breathing at the same frequency, just feel naturally, do not react, in a fixed behavior mode, there will be more time to perceive these seven emotions and six desires, in daily life, they guide you to respond.

And at that moment, it can make people more aware that even if a person doesn't do anything, they will jump out naughtily, and at the beginning, it was a "comprehension period" for Wei Bao.

When Wei Bao can experience the benefits, Chang Wuye will also teach a set of more advanced breathing methods, based on the comprehension period, which will allow Wei Bao to observe the changes in the body more carefully, and also do not react to emotions, and then the point of concentration will change, which will allow Wei Bao to experience every inch of skin changes and every bit of energy flow from head to toe, and then from foot to head.

At that time, Wei Bao can clearly feel the energy flowing, where all the attention is, he can feel the changes in that inch of skin cells, whether slight or violent, and follow the attention shift, this feeling is very wonderful.

Wei Bao's main psychological problem is a lack of self-confidence.

Although he has reached an era of a lower dimension than modern times, his self-confidence has been improved, but when he interacts with Wu Sanfu, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Xuexia, Wu Sangui, including Yang Hongyi, and those sons and buddies in his classmates, when interacting with these people, he still has some inferiority.

People are born rich and noble, born with a high temperament, this is not something that can be obtained out of thin air, a person at the bottom, if you want to climb to a higher level, the biggest obstacle is often your own self-confidence.

These are still the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich, not the big men in their family, when interacting with Wu Xiang and Yang Qi, Wei Bao can't be psychologically equal to his opponents, and he always feels like he is being eaten to death by others.

Entering a state of self-forgetfulness, this is an experience that Wei Bao has never had, but the process is difficult, because Wei Bao will be taken away by the emotions or pictures that jump out of thin air from time to time, Wei Bao has to work very hard to pull it back, from the beginning of the unconscious to the subconscious behind, which requires willpower.

Wei Bao felt unconfident for a while, feeling that he had the golden finger of the 'Zhenyuan Ship', but it was not very useful, he still had to rely on his own imitation and his own efforts, and he didn't have much cultural knowledge and level.

After a while, Wei Bao remembered the people and things he had experienced in modern times, thought that he was just an ordinary person in modern times, remembered many things that made people blush, things that made people ashamed, and remembered that he wanted to work hard many times, and finally gave up inexplicably and always had the experience of lying on his stomach at the bottom.

Wei Bao saw some familiar pictures that might have been subconscious.

In the dark, I don't know how long I struggled, Wei Bao finally calmed down, and finally suddenly felt Elysium, Wei Bao was violently instilled with a huge sense of happiness by life, he didn't know where this happiness came from and where it went, it was pure happiness.

Originally, Chang Wuye only asked Wei Bao to meditate on a stick of incense, that is, about fifteen minutes, but Wei Bao unconsciously sat still for more than an hour, just meditating quietly, this kind of process that could not be put into words, Wei Bao became powerful unconsciously.

Because Wei Bao felt all the benefits of being alive, all the benefits of traveling to ancient times, at least this is a chance to live again, a better opportunity than he is in modern times, at least, in terms of capital, he is no longer a person at the bottom of society.

After realizing his various advantages, Wei Bao felt a warm ball in his heart, and his self-confidence was gradually repaired, a kind of spiritual repair.

People at the bottom want to go to the next level, and the biggest obstacle is self-confidence.

But if you can really go up, it is always very powerful, because the people at the bottom know better what it means to be hard-won and can better grasp their inner world.

And people who are born rich and noble, they have no spiritual deficiencies, and they are born as if everything is a matter of course, and everything should be obtained, but when they encounter real adversity in life, they are often prone to collapse.

In short, through this kind of meditation and meditation, Wei Bao has experienced a continuous accumulation of spiritual power, work hard, no matter how hard you work, don't think about anything, just believe in yourself and keep working hard!

Chang Wuye is a person who doesn't have much culture, he only says meditating and meditating, so that Wei Bao can feel the changes in the 'qi' in his body, and there is no way to express too much.

Wei Bao can integrate on his own, and gradually move closer to restoring self-confidence, experiencing the changes in heaven and earth, and realizing the meaning of life, which is the artistic conception that Chang Wuye can't imagine.

This is still due to the direction that Wei Bao has taken since he crossed over, he is not only limited to his personal life, but also puts a lot of energy into taking a group of poor people to the road of food and clothing!

This direction alone is great enough, enough to carry an ordinary person to a higher level, which in itself is a force, not very narrow. No matter what time it is, no matter how unbearable a person is, as long as he has good thoughts in his heart and is willing to help others with his own efforts, he will not be narrow-minded and will move closer to the great road.

An hour later, Wei Bao slowly exhaled and slowly opened his eyes, his body did not change, but his mood changed calmly and confidently.

Wei Bao stood up, smiled unconsciously, looked at the round moon outside the window, was in a very good mood, walked around the room, picked up the delicate teapot on the table of the Eight Immortals, poured two sips of tea into the spout, and then lay down to sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, Wei Bao only felt refreshed, and he completely discovered the beauty of meditation! At least you can improve your sleep quality, which is already very valuable.

Wei Bao's previous sleep quality was also very good, he generally did not have insomnia, he always went to sleep when he hated to sleep, and he could always sleep next to the pillow, at least for more than four hours, before he woke up naturally.

But sleep and sleep are different, yesterday actually didn't sleep for four hours, but Wei Bao felt very full of energy.

"It's still early to leave for school, so get up so early? I practiced until late last night. Wang Qiuya heard the sound of Wei Bao getting up, and hurriedly got up from the outside and came in to see him.

Wei Bao moved his arms with a smile and moved his legs again, the amount of exercise yesterday was not small, and the strange thing was that there was no soreness.
