Dawn and Dusk Practice: Foundation ChapterAI

"Dawn and dusk" means breathing! Train your true qi in reverse, return to primal simplicity, go back from dusk to dawn, and you shall be invincible! People say true qi gathers in the dantian; those who practise my art spread their true qi through the whole body, so that it becomes seamless and whole, and being whole, it is invincible. People say sinew and bone must be pounded; those who practise my art seek nothing outside themselves: left fist strikes right leg, right leg kicks left fist, harm yourself until you reach the realm of no pain, and you shall be invincible. People say the body should be light as a swallow; those who practise my art drink water once every three days and never bathe for a thousand days, keeping water outside the body, so the body grows light as a goose feather, and you shall be invincible. I once saw a master who gained divine powers by watching the tides at the water's edge, but alas, the moment the tide rose, the master went stark mad! I pondered long, improved upon his method and arrived at this art, which shall surely prove the Way of Invincibility! Remember, remember: whoever would practise this art must never come near the sound of water, for whoever meets water goes mad. Notice: anyone who masters it, please come to Shu and look for me, Le Ziren, and I shall reward you handsomely! You and I shall roam Shu together and seek out the grottoes of the immortals!
