Chapter 17 Breathing method, good bones
(I changed the family background and member settings of the protagonist a little bit, and the rhythm of the previous chapter was wrong, so I overhauled it. Readers who have read it can read it again, especially Chapters 15 and 16. I am sorry for causing trouble to everyone)
(Thank you all for your monthly ticket recommendation tickets. I am unworthy of it. I can only work hard to write words in return!)

Qingcheng has four major urban areas, east, south, west and north. There has always been a saying that "the east is rich and the west is poor, the north is noble and the south is humble", which roughly explains the division of residents in Qingcheng.
The residents of Dongcheng District are mostly rich people, and the headquarters of large companies and enterprises are basically located here. It can be said that every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The Beicheng District is full of dignitaries and is extremely safe. The location here is not a problem of every inch of land worth a lot of money, but a problem of not being able to buy it even if you have money.
Xicheng District is where most ordinary people live, and it is also where Xue Jing's family is.
Of course, this statement is not absolute, nor does it mean that those who live in Dongcheng District are definitely rich and those who live in Xicheng District are definitely poor. After all, this is just a rough division.
But there is nothing wrong with the saying that "the south is humble" in Nancheng District.
It is a real slum, the final destination of all crimes in a city. It is not the law but the gangs that control it. Even the Public Security Bureau cannot control it. Many criminals disappear as soon as they get in. They cannot be found at all. Only the security company behind the gangs can have a say here.
However, Xue Jing has never been to Nancheng District. Since he was a child, his parents and other elders have repeatedly warned him not to get close to it, so he doesn't know the specific situation. He just heard about it from others.
He really didn't expect that Pei Youguang, who was called "very powerful" by his classmates, actually lived in Nancheng District.
Although it is only the outer periphery of Nancheng, close to the West City area, it is more or less on the edge of the "slum".
"Brother Jing, come in."
In front of a house that looks quite large, Pei Youguang took out the key to open the door and said to Xue Jing.
The appearance of the house is quite old, with a square floor plan and a large front yard. The surface of the white brick wall is full of mottled traces of time and is seriously oxidized and yellowed.
The environment around the house was also backward and dilapidated. There were many bottles and cans of garbage on the street. It seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Xue Jing shook his head and followed Pei Youguang into the house.
Unexpectedly, in contrast to the old appearance of the house, the interior decoration was quite good, with gray imitation wood grain floors, a large plush carpet in the middle of the living room, and all kinds of furniture. At first glance, it was not very tasteful, but at least quite harmonious.
Xue Jing took off his shoes, walked into the living room, hung his schoolbag on a hook on the wall by the door, chose a single sofa and sat down, and said: "Do you live alone?" Pei Youguang, who was taking a drink out of the refrigerator, paused and nodded: "Yes." Xue Jing said in a casual tone: "Why do you live here? Isn't your father working for the councilor? Even if you can't enter the North City District, you can at least live in the East City District, right?" Pei Youguang threw a bottle of soda to Xue Jing, opened a bottle himself, took a big sip, and sighed happily. This Then he said: "My relationship with my father is not very good... This house belongs to my mother. She left it to me after she passed away. I moved here two years ago after I had a quarrel with my father." "There is a Jinfeng Dojo nearby. It is said that the owner came from the inner ring city and is the successor of the 'Golden Wind White Rainbow Sword'. After I moved here, I entered the Jinfeng Dojo and practiced martial arts with the master there for a few months... Later, something happened and I left the dojo." Xue Jing nodded: "Is that so." It seems that Pei Youguang's life is not easy. However, if you look closely at everyone, there are more or less stories. He is not interested in understanding them, so he stood up and said: "Without further delay, start teaching me 'strength'." This is the only purpose of his coming here. Pei Youguang stood up and threw the empty drink bottle into the trash can, saying, "Okay, Jing, come with me, let's go to the training room."
...
This is a large room of about 70 square meters, with a thick cushion in the room, filled with various fitness equipment, and some machines that Xue Jing couldn't understand the purpose of.
In the center of the room were several fist piles and sandbags, made of different materials, all looked worn, and were obviously used frequently.
"If you want to practice strength, the most important thing is breathing."
In the training room, Pei Youguang began to explain while watching the old master in the previous dojo.
"Strength is the kinetic energy generated by the movement of internal organs of the human body, but we humans have very little control over our own bodies. We cannot control the flow of blood, nor can we control the internal organs. Even the muscles can only be simply 'tightened' or 'relaxed'. Therefore, we must first learn how to affect these parts that we cannot control at ordinary times, and this requires the use of 'breathing methods'."
"Next, I will teach you a set of 'breathing methods'. This is the basic breathing method that every disciple of the dojo knows. Through this set of breathing methods, you can exert influence on your own body."
After Pei Youguang finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the cushion.
"Come on, Brother Jing, follow me."
Xue Jing followed his instructions and sat down with his legs crossed like Pei Youguang.
Then Pei Youguang began to explain the specific steps of the breathing method, demonstrating while letting Xue Jing follow.
The breathing method is not too complicated, but it is very difficult. In some steps, the interval between inhalation and exhalation is extremely long, requiring a large amount of oxygen to be inhaled in one breath. Such a large amount of oxygen pours into the lungs, and people with insufficient lung capacity cannot even do it. Not even qualified to practice.
Pei Youguang thought that Xue Jing would not be able to keep up with the breathing method for the first time. When he practiced it by himself, it took him a full month to barely complete a complete breathing method.
Therefore, he still held a trace of teasing, wanting to see Brother Jing coughing in embarrassment, but after a complete set of breathing techniques, he was shocked.
Xue Jing actually followed the entire practice and successfully completed the complete basic breathing method in the first practice!
"it's over?"
After inhaling a large amount of oxygen, Xue Jing, who was not used to it, felt dizzy, her heart beat rapidly, she felt nauseous, her vision was blurred, and her whole body seemed to be burning with flames.
This is when a large amount of oxygen enters the blood through the alveoli, causing the blood to run too fast and raising the body temperature.
It was embarrassing, but he finished it.
"Brother Jing, you're awesome."
Pei Youguang was sincerely impressed and gave a thumbs up.
Only people like him who have practiced know how difficult it is to practice the breathing method, but Xue Jing actually did it directly for the first time.
Maybe this is what the old master calls ‘good bones’!
Pei Youguang was filled with envy.
"As long as you adapt to the breathing method, practice it regularly, or even turn it into your own instinct and use it all the time, you can continuously improve your physical fitness. However, I have not been able to do this until now, and I can't do too many exercises every day. Do some breathing exercises, otherwise your body won’t be able to bear it.”
"Once you get used to it, you can gradually feel the rhythm inside your body when you breathe. When you learn what kind of breathing you can use to affect them, or even control them, your strength will naturally develop."
Pei Youguang said.
Xue Jing closed her eyes and calmed down all the burdens she felt after performing the breathing method for the first time.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Teach me again."
Pei Youguang said worriedly: "You have just come into contact with the breathing method. Just practice it once today and continue tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Xue Jing shook his head: "It doesn't matter, continue."
He has memorized most of the steps of the breathing method, but he needs to do it again to consolidate his memory and make sure he doesn't make mistakes.
