Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 41: Breathing (thanks to the lord who has white hands but not black face!)

"Is that so? Sure enough, the elders of Bai Zhimin are not idiots. If they really want to know, then you can reveal your identity as a psyker."

When Hilliard took Ian to the outer courtyard to practice the breathing method, he knew what happened to Ian at night, and he also heard Ian recount what Elder Pude did.

The old knight nodded slightly, approving the boy's response: "Don't worry, psykers are the absolute priority for training. If you are a psyker, even the local lords will tilt resources—this is a very important achievement. , as long as the local lord wants to get rewards and promotions, the indicators of the psykers in the territory are very important."

"But it all depends on you, you can reveal it when you think it's appropriate.

"As for the natives, don't worry. If there are people who are far beyond your scope and want to harm you, I will definitely take action."

——The implication is that if the strength is about the same, let me deal with the training by myself?

Ian understands this, which is also in line with his impression of Hilliard-the old knight is obviously not the type who takes special care of his disciples, but is keen to encourage students to challenge themselves and improve themselves in a crisis.

Exactly what he wanted.

"Here it is."

So saying, Hilliard and Ian sat cross-legged in the backyard outside the house.

Because of the rain in the afternoon, the air at night was slightly cool, and the sea breeze was blowing, which was unexpectedly calming.

Teaching of breathing guidance begins here.

"Although it's called breathing guidance, it doesn't actually need to speed up breathing."

"Ian, imagine the coke in the furnace. It burns slowly and quietly, but if you blow air into it with a blower, the fire will burn hot enough to melt steel into molten iron."

"The same is true for the human body. The food that people eat on weekdays is not a kind of charcoal fire? And the breath that people usually breathe is a kind of wind blowing into the stove? The human body itself is a stove that is constantly blowing and burning, and The furnace of the sublimator is stronger and more efficient."

"Ian, imagine. Imagine that the operation of the source seed follows the flow of blood, slowly and naturally, just like the breeze blowing the stream. But this is far from the limit of the source seed. Use the breath to activate the source seed and drive it It is like a storm that stirs the sails of a ship, and a river that drives a waterwheel.”

Hilliard's voice was gentle and clear. He sat cross-legged on the ground and guided Ian, who was kneeling with his eyes closed, to master a breathing rhythm: "Very good, that's it. You mastered it quickly, but the details There are still some shortcomings."

"Next, you stretch out your hand and pay attention to sensing my breathing rhythm, as well as the cooperation of muscles, internal organs and even blood."

The old knight asked Ian to press his hand on his chest, sensing the frequency of the heartbeat, the veins of the blood, the regularity of the movement of muscles and organs, and pointed out: "Adjusting the breathing is just self-suggestion, the most important thing is to guide, Gather and disperse the fragments of source matter in every blood vessel in the body, so that the power stored deep in the body can be released, and then transformed into the essence of source matter by the source seed."

"Control your heartbeat, make it slower and more powerful; make your body relatively still, and feel the blood rushing around your body, running through every peripheral circulation."

"In this way, you can sense the debris flowing in your body, like ears of wheat in the light."

The ear of wheat in the light is a term commonly used among the sublimators of the Terra continent.

It refers to all 'power given by the sun' and 'fruit of life', and is the source of all extraordinary power.

The golden ears of wheat become firm after bathing in the sun, just as the essence of life is condensed from the essence of the same source; The process of ear growth.

Ian listened carefully to Hilliard's teachings, and he controlled his breathing as much as possible to converge with the other party.

But the newborn metabolism of an eight-year-old body is too fast, and the lungs and chest cavity are not yet fully formed, so it is difficult to breathe at the same frequency as an adult.

Even for him, in a short period of time, it is difficult to really calm down and guide the source quality fragments in the body to gather and condense.

However, Ian is very good at imagining and observing.

And, listen.

Closing his eyes, Ian opened the 'Vision of Prediction'.

Instantly, he could see the golden body of the teacher in front of him.

Looking closely, one can even see pale golden streams of heat and light clusters surging in the body. They are intertwined with each other, forming a complicated but extremely regular structure.

Breathe—breathe——

Gaze, listen, imitate.

Ian's heart was soothed and peaceful like never before.

Breathe—breathe——

Thinking, analyzing, and summarizing.

Ian's mind was racing like never before.

He has noticed that Hilliard's breathing is long and long, powerful but not abrupt, like a rushing river. It doesn't have the sudden lethality like the explosion of dynamite or the thunder bombardment, but it still has a huge surging power.

The breathing of the other party has become blurred. Originally sensing the rise and fall of the lungs and the flow of blood, Ian should be able to easily know when the other party is inhaling and when is exhaling.

But the old knight's breathing made him a little confused, because it seemed to be a long breath without end, and it seemed like a long sigh without end.

——What kind of breathing is this?

At this moment, Ian could no longer keep up with Hilliard's rhythm. Even with the guidance of the old knight, his breath suddenly became disordered, and then he began to cough violently.

"Cough cough cough!"

"There's no need to rush, you've done a good job."

Stretching out his hand, stroking Ian's back, soothing the boy's discomfort, Hilliard was quite patient: "You are almost grasping that rhythm, but your physical fitness is still not enough to keep up with your thoughts."

To be honest, Hilliard is quite satisfied at the moment.

Children's special signs are also the reason why it is difficult for them to practice, but on the other hand, if children's defects can be overcome, and the channeling technique can also be used under such circumstances, then the stability of Ian's practice in the future will definitely far exceed other peers.

"The channeling technique can strengthen the lungs and accelerate the extraction of source quality, but it does not affect the muscles and cannot sharpen the willpower."

After thinking about it, the old knight said: "Starting tomorrow, I will arrange some physical training for you to exercise."

He emphasized: "No matter what kind of inheritance, there are different requirements for physical fitness. Sand armor apprentices are even more demanding. They need strength and physique beyond ordinary people to meet the requirements of taking potions and cohesive sublimation." The basic conditions of organs."

"It's better to say that the stronger the inheritance, the higher the basic quality required. If you think that you can relax your training with a strong inheritance, you will definitely suffer a lot."

"Not to mention other things, the drastic changes and stimulation of the potion on the body are enough to kill an ill-prepared Ascendant apprentice."

"It's even like just now, you are only slightly distracted, and your body can't keep up with the load of breathing."

"I understand, teacher." Relieved, Ian understood Hilliard's emphasis on physical fitness very well.

It's just a job change attribute requirement, I understand. The more powerful the profession, the more basic requirements it needs, which is normal.

On Earth, this kind of setting has been tasted enough!

He originally had the idea of ​​exercising to improve his physical strength. After all, the physical fitness of Terra people is really unique.

"Let's do it again, this time let's go slower."

Hilliard noticed that Ian was still very interested and did not flinch from the previous pain, so he did not stop this teaching: "Remember the rhythm, not just the lungs, your body, muscles, organs and blood You must follow the rhythm of breathing"

"Yeah."

Following Hilliard's guidance, Ian breathed rhythmically.

All the sounds were covered by the hustle and bustle of the July tide, and the originally rapid frequency gradually became peaceful and long. Every breath slowly revived the power that was silent deep in the body

Soon.

Ian fell asleep.
