Sword from Songshan

Chapter 50: Twelve Circulation Qigong

Great Heat, the hottest day of the year.

In the pine and cypress forest on the back mountain of Shengguan Peak, the tortoise-shell-shaped bluestone was baked like a large branding iron by the scorching midday sun.

About ten meters away from the bluestone, under the shade of a tree, Lu Nanxing sat on the ground with his five hearts facing the sky.

"I did it."

As the sun began to move westward, the shadows of trees and people lengthened again. Lu Nanxing suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze was even hotter than the sunlight.

Three months ago, Lu Nanxing began to try to improve the Songyang Heart Method.

Three months later, he finally succeeded!

The original Songyang Heart Method was from the Spleen Meridian of the Foot to the Heart Meridian of the Hand. Now after the revision, it is from the Heart Meridian of the Hand to the Spleen Meridian of the Foot.

The heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, and fire produces earth, which is in line with the principle of the five elements.

But it is not a simple reverse flow of meridians. In fact, reverse flow of meridians is more difficult.

Instead, it starts from the hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, through the hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, the foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, the hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, the hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, the foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, the foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, the hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, the foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, to the foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian.

All twelve meridians are included!

The strength of the internal energy is not simply determined by the number of meridians involved.

However, if we compare the exercise of meridians to a production line, the more production lines there are, the higher the production capacity. Therefore, at the same level, the more meridians are involved, the stronger it is.

Lu Nanxing's set of internal skills covers all the twelve meridians. Although it is not unique, it is rare among the vast sea of ​​internal skills.

"I really didn't expect that."

With Lu Nanxing's knowledge and cultivation, he was far from being able to improve his internal energy techniques. He was just following the six strands of alien qi guided by the small wooden tripod and practicing qi in a similar way.

From simple to complex, from easy to difficult, starting from the shortest path of true qi, although changing the route of qigong exercise was difficult, after many attempts, it was barely done.

But later, as I followed other Qi exercises, problems began to arise, and as the number of Qi paths that could be circulated increased, the problems became more and more obvious.

How to simulate these Qi circulation paths and connect them together?

The reason why Lu Nanxing wanted to improve the Songyang Heart Method, in addition to gaining stronger internal martial arts, was most directly to absorb as many of the six different kinds of true qi in his body as possible.

Connecting the six paths of true qi in series is like coordinating six vehicles with complex routes onto one route. The difficulty can be imagined.

If it were just a little troublesome it would be fine, but the problem is that many energies are already in conflict, and they are able to live in peace because they avoid each other. If they force themselves to follow one route, wouldn't problems arise again?

And if these paths cannot be connected in series, how can we take into account the six strands of true qi?

Lu Nanxing thought hard and could not find any solution. He was considering whether to settle for the next best option.

It is based on the Songyang Heart Method, and only incorporates a few or one Qi circulation paths.

In this way, you can absorb those few or one strands of true qi as quickly as possible, but it does not make much sense for the absorption of other true qi.

Unless later, you can create one or even several mental methods according to the remaining Qi paths.

It works in theory, but it's ultimately too cumbersome.

"wind……"

Just when he was helpless, one day during his training, Lu Nanxing was lost in thought while looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the mountains. The environment in the mountains was complex and the mountain winds were chaotic, but no matter which direction the wind came from, it would eventually flow along the valley.

After a moment of distraction, Lu Nanxing suddenly realized.

Yes, he doesn't have to worry about connecting all the Qi paths in series. He just needs to incorporate the paths that the six Qi paths take into his mind!

The six strands of true energy flow along the twelve meridians. No matter how complex the path becomes, it can't escape the twelve meridians.

Therefore, all Lu Nanxing needs to do is incorporate all the twelve meridians into his mental method, and he’ll be done!
Of course, it is not easy for an internal skill to take into account the twelve meridians, otherwise this kind of internal skill would not be so rare.

But Lu Nanxing is different, he has a ready-made reference.

For example, from the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian to the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, there are four different paths of true qi involving this line. As long as Lu Nanxing refers to the movement of these four paths of true qi, he can overcome the obstacles!
By the same token, Lu Nanxing connected and opened up the twelve meridians one by one according to the connection between them and the movement of the alien true qi!
In just less than ten days, he had completely connected the twelve meridians and created the current new set of internal energy techniques!
"It really contains all the seriousness."

Now that the task has been accomplished, Lu Nanxing feels excited again when looking at the results.

Using the same example, the meridians that store internal energy can be compared to a production line. The more production lines there are, the higher the production capacity. Although the cultivation of internal energy is not a simple proportional relationship, the more meridians are involved, the more internal energy is accumulated under the same circumstances.

It is the same method of practicing Songyang Heart Method. Previously, it only involved two meridians, but now there are twelve. In terms of the speed of practice, although it is not as exaggerated as six times, it has reached three or four times!
"ten times!"

The strengthening effect of the toxin in the small wooden tripod has increased Lu Nanxing's cultivation speed by three times, and now it has increased by another three or four times, which is almost ten times faster than before!
This level of cultivation speed alone is already a superior internal energy technique!
But the advantages of this set of internal skills are far more than that.

Now the twelve meridians are completely connected to form a complete circulation in the body.

This brings two additional advantages.

First, the internal force is long-lasting. In fact, the internal force is similar to breathing, and it cannot be extended indefinitely. When two people compete with each other in internal force, after one breath is used up, they need to mobilize the second breath. Although the interval in between is short, it is a gap.

If the internal force is long-lasting, this gap will appear less frequently, and under the same level of skill, it will naturally be an advantage.

It’s like swimming. Others take a breath every three seconds, but you can take a breath every ten seconds or even a minute. Wouldn’t you be able to swim faster and farther?

Secondly, internal force circulates throughout the body, so every move can be complemented by internal force.

There is a section in the original novel where Yue Buqun swung his sword with his sleeve to stab at Tian Boguang, but was pulled back by a straw sandal thrown by Monk Bujie. Yue Buqun was surprised at Monk Bujie's internal strength and thought that if he had used the Zixia magic skill at that time, he might not have lost.

In other words, the use of internal strength requires the exercise of internal energy, which is like the pre-swing of a skill.

But Lu Nanxing is different. His internal energy circulates continuously. He doesn’t have to practice internal energy in advance, and he can use his internal energy at any time!

In other words, his internal strength has no skill pre-swing!
Anyone who has played games knows that there is a huge difference between having a skill with or without a pre-swing.

"name……"

After knowing the effect of internal energy, Lu Nanxing became more excited.

Although this set of internal skills is based on the Songyang Heart Method, it has actually been transformed.

If it is still called Songyang Heart Method, it would not be appropriate.

Lu Nanxing thought about it, couldn't help but smile, and came up with a name.

"Twelve Circulation Qigong!"

Buzz~!

Just when Lu Nanxing was happy, the strange internal energy in his body suddenly vibrated violently and suddenly dissipated!
