Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

The rising sun dyed the sky red.

Jiang Yue had been learning martial arts for a month. As soon as he arrived at Songhe Martial Arts School, he heard shouts coming from the yard. He pushed the door open and saw a dozen people who had arrived early already standing on the bluestone floor. There were not many female disciples in Songhe Martial Arts School, and they were separated from the male disciples. After Jiang Yue entered the door, he went straight to the inner courtyard. After walking past a screen wall, he saw an area that was smaller than the martial arts training ground outside.

After Jiang Yue warmed up, he began to stand in the stance. Standing in the stance is the foundation of martial arts practice. The stance must be stood steadily and flexibly. It took Jiang Yue a whole month to stand in the stance and become extremely stiff. Most people think that standing in the stance means tensing the body, but in fact it is a process of relaxing the whole body.

Soon other people came one after another. Seeing Jiang Yue standing in the stance, they did not disturb her. They just warmed up and exercised themselves silently. After all, they had a big test on their minds. After the instructor came in, she looked at everyone's progress in standing in the stance one by one, and helped everyone adjust it if she saw anything wrong.

When she came to Jiang Yue, she looked at Jiang Yue and nodded, which was much better than the others.

"Bang bang bang!"

Jiang Yue felt several forces coming from her spine. A gentle force penetrated into her skin and then went deeper, as if a warm big hand was adjusting her spine. Jiang Yue was stimulated by this force. Her hair stood on end and her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and then she relaxed.

thorough!

This is Jiang Yue's strongest feeling at the moment. The teaching seems to have opened up some of her joints instantly, so that Jiang Yue feels as if her whole body is clear.

"You must make your body remember this feeling. Standing still is to dissolve the clumsy and stiff strength in your body, to make your body relaxed and active, and to make the form and intention become one."

The instructor gave a few more pointers, then made some minor adjustments to Jiang Yue's stance. Jiang Yue followed the instructor's instructions and kept trying, trying to find the most comfortable posture. After several adjustments, Jiang Yue seemed to gradually comprehend the essence of it, and his body was no longer as rigid as before, but seemed to be in a natural and smooth state, becoming stable.

"Well, it's okay. I finally found the key points." After the instructor gave Jiang Yue instructions, he did not stay and continued to move among the crowd.

"It turns out that standing still is not tiring. The only tiring thing is that you are not standing correctly." After standing for two hours, Jiang Yue did not feel tired at all. Instead, she felt refreshed. She just didn't know when she could start refining her skin.

Forget it. Don't think too much about it. If I have proficiency, then I am just at the entry level in standing meditation. If I have proficiency, then I am just at the entry level: 1/100. I will think about other things when I have achieved some success. Thinking of this, I took a break and went back to standing meditation. This time, relying on Jiang Yue himself, it took a long time for him to get into the state.

"Everyone, come and get your medicine." A deep shout came from the center of the yard.

Jiang Yue put away his posture, wiped the sweat off his face and walked to the center of the courtyard. Others also walked to the center of the courtyard, picked up porcelain bowls from the table nearby and lined up.

"Thank you, senior sister." Jiang Yue thanked the woman who was distributing the medicine, but she just nodded slightly and did not respond.

The medicine soup was brown and gave off a medicinal aroma. Jiang Yue took a sip and didn't find any medicinal materials in it. If she could see the dregs, it would be fine. She drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, she wiped her mouth, washed the bowl and put it back.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yue started exercising again. The fatigue after a morning of exercise seemed to have disappeared. While Jiang Yue was immersed in the practice of Zhuang Gong, a day had passed quietly.

In the next month, Jiang Yue and her friends did not practice anything else but just stood in the stance every day from morning to night and drank a bowl of medicinal soup at noon. After two months, Jiang Yue's standing practice had made some progress.

Just as Jiang Yue was getting ready, the instructor came over and said, "Jiang Yue, you can officially start refining your skin starting tomorrow. Come on, follow me." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the main house in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue hurriedly followed him and came into the house. The instructor walked to a cupboard and seemed to be looking for something. Jiang Yue stood quietly by and took a look at the facilities in the house before stopping to look around. After a while, the instructor took out two bottles of ointment and handed them to Jiang Yue: "Apply the white bottle to your whole body before exercise, and the green bottle to wipe it after returning home at night to recover from injuries."

"Starting tomorrow, you will move stone locks every morning to build up your strength, and start practicing wooden stakes in the afternoon. At the same time, you cannot neglect the stake exercises. If your lower body is not stable, you will not be able to do anything. Also, the soup medicine has to change. One bowl each morning, noon and evening, otherwise it will damage your body."

"Disciple understands." Jiang Yue took the two porcelain bottles and said, and walked out of the house. Jiang Yue could clearly feel many eyes focused on her. Many apprentices who practiced with her turned their heads to look at her with envy. After all, if one could get started one day earlier, there would be more hope for progress. The golden age for practicing martial arts was only a few years.

Time passed quickly. In the evening, the sun was setting. After Jiang Yue finished his exercise, the back of his arms were a little red. He wiped the sweat off and went into the house to apply the ointment. Waves of refreshing feelings came over him, and the pain was much lessened.

Jiang Yue picked up the linen shirt beside him and put it on. He went outside to drink a bowl of medicine and went home. After returning home, he did not rest but started to practice the standing meditation. Jiang Yue felt that his standing meditation was about to break through. After the moon was in the sky, Jiang Yue put away the standing meditation and went back to the house to sleep.

It has been three months since I started to refine my skin. I estimate that I will be able to enter the skin refining stage in a few months. The main reason is that I eat well and exercise every day without distraction. In addition, my aptitude is not bad, so the progress is faster. The fastest person in the martial arts hall who has entered the skin refining stage took only three months. Jiang Yue will need half a year, which I feel is not bad.

Day after day, four months passed quickly. On this day when Jiang Yue was exercising, a warm current suddenly surged through his body. His skin became tougher and his strength increased. Jiang Yue knew that he had entered the skin training realm. It was not easy. It had been almost a year since he came here, and he had finally entered the door of martial arts and was no longer an ordinary person with no cultivation.

Jiang Yue felt his own strength for a while, and then went to find the instructor. When he arrived, the instructor was instructing others to exercise. After waiting for a while, he saw the instructor sitting there drinking tea. Jiang Yue walked over and said, "Instructor, I have broken through the skin refining realm."

"Oh?" The instructor's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Jiang Yue's shoulder.

Click.

Jiang Yue only felt a force rushing through his body, his feet went weak, and he almost couldn't stand.

"Not bad! I remember that you have been learning for less than a year. You started skin refining four months ago. Your progress is pretty good." The instructor nodded. This is faster than most people. If you maintain this progress, you should have no problem entering the blood refining realm.

"Follow me." After saying that, he turned and walked into the house.
