Chapter 345: Air and Points
Cheese sat down on the stone pier and swept his eyes across this overly clean room. Apart from the four load-bearing pillars, the scaffolding built around the stone sculptures, and the tools placed next to it, there was really nothing in this room.
There was nothing. Oh, you can't put it that way. In the corner of the room, Cheese saw a pancake-shaped object that seemed to be woven from reeds or similar materials. It seemed to be used as a mat on the ground?
"What? Have you never seen a futon? Or are you thinking of something?" The old man, whom Jian Qi called a drunkard, noticed the mage's gaze, raised his eyebrows, and asked casually.
"I really haven't seen it before. Because although I look similar to you, I don't come from the same place." Cheese didn't hide his life experience. As long as he didn't talk about the Gray Tower in detail, he had nothing to hide.
"Orphans living abroad? Well, they are rare. There are not many people like us who would leave their homeland and wander. Most people prefer to be buried in the same soil as their skin color when they die." The old man stared at it.
Cheese looked at it for a few seconds, and then thought about it, "Judging from your eyebrows, you should be of the blood of the four northern states, but old man, I have been away from my homeland for a long time, and my ability to recognize people is inevitably unfamiliar, so I can't guarantee it."
The Master smiled. He actually didn't care about where he was born, who his biological parents were, or whether he had any living relatives. When Ata found him and told him that he was looking for relatives, he really didn't care about the woman.
He sympathized with the swordsman's plight, but that was because the former's emotions resonated with him.
As far as encounters are concerned, Cheese has no idea about this. Just a plague alone left countless orphans. There are countless people in the world who have left or lost their loved ones for various reasons. He saw too many
Although there are many, he has never made any plans to find relatives. In the final analysis, Gray Tower is his home.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I don't care much about my origin. Maybe it has something to do with the environment in which I grew up. I don't value my blood relatives as much as Jian Qi does."
"Normally, people who learn alchemy have this kind of virtue. If they are so persistent in their worldly fate, how can they still have the heart to learn Taoism? If they don't have to serve their parents, be harmonious with their brothers, and take care of their wives and children, a lifetime will pass by living in daily necessities. In fact,
There's nothing wrong with it. But there are some people in this world who can't stand it." The first part of his words seemed to be talking about cheese, but the second half seemed to be talking about himself. It's not easy to be so far away from his homeland.
Cheese noticed the change in the old man's mood and decided to change the topic, "Why did you take Jian Qi away? What is the acupoint sealing you are talking about? And can that gentleman really cure Jian Qi?"
The other person's eyes were half-opened, and he took another sip of wine. The wine flowed from the corner of his mouth to his beard before he let out a deep breath, "Ha, it seems that you, a junior, really don't know anything. No wonder."
How can the disciples of Jianmen do this without telling you? Anyway, they won't be able to solve it for a while. With the temperament of Old Monster Shi, this person will never go out to drink, so I will take this opportunity to talk to you.
.”
"Qi, you should know it. Since the young man was injured by the arrow, he must have done something to someone. You must have seen his methods. But do you know that Qi is not exclusive to us people? This
Everyone has Qi, and everyone can actually practice it, but the way is different. Practice Qi with the Qi movement method, and the Qi can be used for your own use, and you can perform various Kungfu. This need not be explained in detail. However, what is the word Qi?
Explanation? The things that flow in the air are called Qi, the things that breathe through the nose and mouth are called Qi, and the things that rise from all things are also called Qi. Qi is everything. Using the human body as a furnace and practicing Qi is just a small achievement. It is an exaggeration.
Say, the physical bodies of you and me, the masonry and rubble in this house, the flowers, plants and flowing water outside the house are all manifestations of Qi! This is the universe, the popularization of Qi, interoperability and mutual integration. If the world can be connected with one Qi, it will
Nothing can be accomplished!”
When the old man said this, he realized that his topic had gone too far. He coughed twice and said, "As people get older, they tend to believe what they say when they talk. Don't blame me. Speaking of acupuncture points, since the human body is transformed by Qi, no matter how hard you practice it, Without practice, Qi is in them. Acupoints refer to the nodes where the Qi of the human body is flowing. The so-called acupoint sealing or acupoint flushing is to use the practiced Qi to control the status of the nodes. If used properly, the retreat can be in chaos. By controlling your own injuries in battle, you can defeat the enemy with one strike, just like what the old stone monster did just now. However, this acupuncture technique is not simple. You can't just memorize the acupoint map and just show it to someone and you will be successful. When setting acupoints, you need to observe the flow of the opponent's Qi, and hit the right acupoint at the right time through breathing and movements to achieve the desired effect. If the acupoint is controlled, it can range from severe pain to half-body paralysis."
"Acupoints are so important. If you use Qi to seal the acupoints before you are born, the congestion in the injured area will be trapped in the acupoints. Over time, the acupoints will be damaged. This is an injury that will affect your whole life. There are only a few methods that can cure it. Fortunately, he didn't seal the acupuncture point for long, and the old stone monster's technique is best at using one's own energy to enter other things. As long as you let go of your energy veins and let the old stone monster guide you, there won't be any crux left."
These words reminded Cheese of the scene when he first came into contact with a new knowledge during training. His understanding of Qi was shattered by the fisherman. Qi transforms all things. At first glance, it sounds like there is nothing special about aquatic things. There was a difference, but he vaguely felt that the Qi the other party was talking about was not an element. This novelty inspired the mage's curiosity, and he was willing to accept all unknown knowledge. Moreover, this knowledge was not empty talk, but had gone through many processes. People like the Fisherman of the Seven Swordsman personally experimented, had theories and logic, and even listened to the other party's wishes. The use of Qi has created complex factions and branches in their homeland.
"Can I also use it? The Qi in your mouth. Since you said that anyone can master it, can it be used even by people who don't have the same skin color as us?" The mage followed the other person's words and asked his own question.
"Of course, not to mention different skin colors, but what if they are different races? In my homeland, those strange beasts, whoever has intelligence will try to practice Qi. Even outside the homeland, there are many predecessors who have spread the Qi Dao Go out. It is said that Elder Kou Yu, who travels to Xuanzong, has the ability to ride the wind with light weight. With this skill, he travels far and wide and teaches those who are destined to move their qi. There are many creatures who have been inspired by him, including the most despicable spirit among the people here, Brother There are talented people in Bulin who have understood the method of cultivating Qi. If you want to learn from me, I can teach you now, but you have to think about one thing clearly." The old man suddenly paused, "Don't be greedy for too much. .”
Whether it is the way of magic or the way of Qi, they are both far-reaching paths that many people never reach the end of in their lifetimes. The consequences of trying to have both are often general knowledge that cannot be penetrated deeply. But cheese does not For this kind of concern, he himself is a spell caster with a broad style. For him, Qi is just another kind of magic in the region. There is no harm in knowing more about it. "I think that too much is not a problem, the problem is that there is too much." Getting lost is like walking in an orchard and throwing away the peaches in front of you when you see them in front of you. You end up with nothing in your hands. If you can recognize what you want, there will be no harm."
