Chapter 17 Breathing Method, Good Roots

(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 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.

Most of the residents in Dongcheng District are 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 North City 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 companies 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 close to the "slums".

"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 house looks quite old, with a square floor plan and a large front yard. The white brick wall is full of mottled traces of time and is seriously oxidized and yellowed.

The environment around the house is also backward and dilapidated. There are many bottles and cans of garbage on the street. It seems that no one has 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 is 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 is 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 one himself, took a big sip, and sighed happily. 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. The room is covered with a thick cushion and filled with various fitness equipment, and there are some machines that Xue Jing can't understand the purpose of.

In the center of the room are several fist piles and sandbags, made of different materials, all look worn, and 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', which is a basic breathing method that every disciple of the dojo knows. Through this set of breathing methods, you can exert influence on the inside of your body."

Pei Youguang finished speaking and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

"Come on, Brother Jing, follow me."

Xue Jing followed his instructions and sat cross-legged like Pei Youguang.

Pei Youguang then 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, and a large amount of oxygen needs to be inhaled in one breath. Such a large amount of oxygen flows into the lungs. People with insufficient lung capacity are not even qualified to practice.

Pei Youguang thought that Xue Jing would definitely not be able to keep up with the first breathing method practice. When he practiced by himself, it took him a full month to barely complete a complete breathing method practice.

Therefore, he was still a little joking, wanting to see Brother Jing coughing awkwardly, but after a whole set of breathing methods, he was shocked.

Xue Jing actually followed the whole process 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, his heartbeat was very fast, he felt nauseous, his vision was blurred, and his whole body seemed to be burning with fire.

This was because a large amount of oxygen entered the blood through the alveoli, causing the blood to circulate at an overspeed, raising his body temperature.

It was very embarrassing, but he finished it.

"Brother Jing, awesome."

Pei Youguang was really impressed and gave a thumbs up.

Only people like him who have practiced know how difficult it is to practice breathing methods, but Xue Jing actually did it the first time.

Maybe this is what the old master calls "good bones"!

Pei Youguang was envious.

"As long as you get used to the breathing method, practice it often, and even turn it into your own instinct, and use it all the time, you can continuously improve your physical fitness. However, I have not done this yet. At present, I cannot practice the breathing method too many times a day, otherwise my body cannot bear it."

"Once you get used to it, you can gradually feel the rhythm inside your body when breathing. When you learn what kind of breathing can affect them, or even control them, the strength will naturally be trained."

Pei Youguang said.

Xue Jing closed his eyes and calmed down the various burdens after the first breathing method.

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. It's okay to practice it once today and continue tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid your body can't 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 ensure that there are no mistakes.
