Chapter 44: Cultivating Qi and Hope for Longevity
Seeing He Jia's figure disappearing in the mountains, Lin Zhao suddenly turned around and headed towards his cave.
It is better to retreat and build a net than to envy fish in the abyss. Action is the first priority. Lin Zhao was a human being for two lifetimes, so he naturally understood this truth.
Sitting on the cushion in the cave, sitting cross-legged with both sides, relaxing my mind. After a moment, my mind was empty and there were no more distracting thoughts. "The General Lecture of Tiangang in the Divine Thunder" slowly emerged from my mind.
"The General Lecture of Tiangang in Shenlei" is a practice technique that directly points to the great way and was passed down by the founding ancestor of the Shenxiao Sect.
In the Shenxiao Sect, the "Shenthusian Jade Book" that can only be understood by the head sect is the top-level practice technique and the pillar of the Shenxiao Sect's martial arts system.
When Shenqing's mind was clear, Lin Zhao silently recited the "Tiangang General Rules in Shenlei": "Two eyes meet and two eyes, and the teaching is very clear. Suddenly, a sound of energy comes into the Niwan. The Dantian is nourished again, as sweet and fragrant. If a person can get it, he will return to the fairyland immediately."
That is, the sun is reflected in the left eye, and the moon is reflected in the right eye, so that the light of the sun and the moon in the eyes intersects in Niwan, keeps it unmoved, and the essence and qi are automatically in the lower dantian and rise to the brain along the Du meridian. This is what is called "moving the sun and the moon return to the golden palace, and when the three qi meet, the treasures fill the field."
"The General Notes of Tiangang in Shenlei" emphasizes "the method of practicing the innate great way and sending the generals of one's own soul", and believes that the way of practice cares about the human heart, and if it is pure and quiet, it will remain; if it is dirty, it will perish.
Therefore, if the essence is stationary, the qi is stationary, and if the qi is stationary, the spirit will stay. Once the three are stationary, the Tao and Dharma are ready. It disperses and becomes wind and clouds, and gathers with thunder and lightning. If you want to practice, you must first accept the innate ancestral qi. All the thousands of methods begin here.
It is also emphasized that "scholars do not seek others, but only seek it for my body. The five elements are rooted in the yin and yang energy. The two qi are divided into five elements. People can gather the qi of the five elements and circulate the qi of the five elements into five thunder. Then the thunder method is the innate way. The thunder god is in my spirit. With the qi combined with the qi and the spirit combined with the spirit, it is like a sound. " "If you understand this way and follow this principle, then the two qi are not in the two qi, but in my body. The five elements are not in the five elements, but in my body. Blowing it into wind, running it into thunder, shushing it into clouds, sucking it into rain, changing it into thousands of ways, all kinds of things are all in the heart." This practice method is called the "Tiangang General Proof of Shenlei", which is because of this.
This is also the supreme secret of the practice of thunder law, and the fundamental reason why the monks of Shenxiao Sect are known for their thunder law.
After spending three days silently reciting the magic formula and understanding the principles of the Dharma, Lin Zhao gradually understood the essence of the practice of "The General Title of Tiangang in the Divine Thunder", and many questions arose. Lin Zhao ignored it for the time being and continued to comprehend the "Five Thunder Golden Pages".
"Five Thunder Golden Pages" is based on the "Five Thunders**" that is famous in the world of immortal cultivation, and its core technique is "Five Thunders**".
The core secret of "Five Thunders**" is "the heavenly stems are formed, and thunder is divided into yin and yang; the five elements are transformed into magnificent, and the world is full of magnificence", so it is divided into "Five Yang Thunder" and "Five Yin Thunder", which are both super-level magic.
The "Five Yang Thunder" are "Jia Wood God Thunder", "Bing Fire God Thunder", "Wu Earth God Thunder", "Geng Jin God Thunder", and "Ren Water God Thunder".
"Five Yin Thunder" is "Yi Wood God Thunder", "Ding Fire God Thunder", "Ji Earth God Thunder", "Xin Jin God Thunder", and "Gui Water God Thunder".
In addition to the "Five Thunders**", "Five Thunder Golden Pages" also records some other thunder methods, such as the super-level magic "Demon Refining Thunder Net", the high-level magic "Thunder Escape Technique", etc. It also contains many discussions on the theory of thunder laws, which is actually the foundation of the establishment of the Shenxiao Sect.
The Thunder Method of Shenxiao Sect believes that the innate vitality is the foundation of creation and the source of thunder.
As the saying goes, "Wuji gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two qualities". One qi produces yin and yang, and the transportation and transformation of yin and yang lead to the beginning of all things, and the heaven and earth are the concrete image. Yin and yang are the foundation for the generation, restraint and application of the four symbols and the five elements.
The qi of Yin and Yang is thunder and thunder, giving birth to all things, and is the key to heaven and earth. Yin and Yang are thunder and thunder in a row, and they are thunder in a row, and they are thunder in a row. The qi of Yin and Yang is thrust in a row, and they are thunder in a row, and they are thunder in a row. The qi gathers and spirits, which is responsible for the opportunity of birth and death.
The "Five Thunders**" recorded in "Five Thunders Golden Pages" is based on vitality and yin and yang are used.
Yin and Yang transform into the five elements, corresponding to the five internal organs of the human body. The liver and gallbladder are wood, the heart is fire, the lungs are metal, the intestines and stomach are earth, and the kidneys are water. In the concentration of the mind and entering tranquility, keep in mind the true meaning and feel the impact of changes in the heavenly time on the body. The heavens and man are in harmony, and all kinds of true forms of thunder laws emerge.
Nine days passed again, and Lin Zhao felt hungry and swallowed the "fasting pill", and was immersed in the wonderful methods of the great way.
On that day, the stone gate of the cave was wide open. Lin Zhao slowly came out of the cave and sat down on a large rock by the cliff. Looking at the vast clouds in the distance, it felt like a different world.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and I was immersed in the wonderful methods of the Great Dao. At this time, I had fully understood the two secret scripts and accumulated a lot of problems.
I stood up and slapped the "Jianghai Wuliang Fist" several times, and I suddenly realized that my body was slightly stiff, not as good as before, controlling my qi and blood, and I secretly sighed that I was more practicing than ever.
Shaking his head, Lin Zhao slowly walked towards his master's cave.
While walking, I thought that without the ability to control the air, it was inconvenient to go to a place. I couldn’t feel it when I was in Dawu Kingdom. After coming to this Nanling Villa, there were cliffs and peaks and rocks everywhere. I had to visit my fellow cave, and I spent time on the road, so I was very depressed!
Half an hour later, Lin Zhao came to the Taixu True Man Cave. Before the magic circle was triggered, he saw the stone gate of the master's cave slowly opening. It was obvious that he knew Lin Zhao's arrival.
He sang a fat promise to the master first, and then heard the words of Taixu Zhenren and asked: "Disciple, you are here at Master's Cave at this moment, but what are the problems in your practice?"
"Master is really a magical trick. I have many confusions in "The General Title of Tiangang in the Divine Thunder" and "The Golden Page of Five Thunders". I'll ask Master for advice!" Lin Zhao smiled and took a horse.
"You kid, just talk about the problem." Taixu Zhenren was still sitting on the cushion, shook his head, and spoke.
Lin Zhao first sat on the lower futon, and then talked about the questions in his heart one by one.
Another day passed between the questions and answers of the master and the apprentice. These accumulated questions were solved one by one. At the same time, Taixu Zhenren explained these two secret scriptures again. Lin Zhao suddenly felt that his cognition had improved a little.
When Lin Zhao said goodbye and left, Zhenren Taixu suddenly sighed. He thought that if he had such wisdom as his disciple, he would have probably achieved the realm of the soul. Without comparison, there would be no harm. Lin Zhao's terrifying talent even sighed at it.
Back to the cave again, Lin Zhao sat on the cushion in the cultivation stone room and lit a thread of incense.
This thread incense is given by Hejia, which has the effect of stabilizing the mind and calming the state of mind. It is most suitable for ignition during practice and can play a good role in assisting practice.
Following the method in "The General Lecture of Tiangang in the Divine Thunder", after a moment, Lin Zhao entered the object and forgot about me, and after a moment, the acupoints around his body began to jump.
Among them, most of the main acupoints in the whole body were when Lin Zhao practiced internal exercises, and had already been penetrated and nourished for a long time. At this time, the beating was the most obvious.
There were also a small number of hidden secret acupoints that were also beating, and Lin Zhao ignored it.
I don’t know how long it has passed, and cool energy flows into the acupoints all over the body. Lin Zhao knows that this is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He still maintains the attitude of “not forgetting or helping”, but only holds a ray of light in the dark.
Gradually, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually poured into the acupoints of the whole body became more and more, and spontaneously gathered in the meridians of the whole body.
If ordinary people practice, they need to slowly accumulate spiritual energy in the world at this stage and let it spontaneously break through the meridians in the body. This process depends on the different roots and bones of each person, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy in the world is different from the time of each practice.
But Lin Zhao is different from ordinary people. I don’t know why it is because of the reason. He is naturally open to all meridians and has wide, large and tough meridians.
For ordinary people’s practice, the first stage of practicing is the stage of opening the meridian period, and they must go through the state of gathering qi, sensing the orifices, and clashing the meridian state.
When the Qi gathers the state of concentration and concentration of mind and breathing, the body and mind are calm, the essence and energy in the body will naturally condense in the sea of energy; when the essence and energy grow, you need to quietly perceive the acupoints connected to the meridians of the whole body; the last step is to use the mind to guide the essence and energy in the body, use water to grind it, and slowly penetrate the eight extraordinary meridians, twelve meridians, etc.
All those who practice martial arts, practice internal skills, and guide true qi in the world are the same as those who have not entered the innate world, can be classified as this stage.
Lin Zhao became a master of boxing. The first stage of immortal cultivation has been completed long ago, and there is no need to collect essence and energy to rush through meridians. Instead, he used the Qi-induced method in "The General Less of Heavenly Gang in the Divine Thunder", and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured in directly the acupoints of the whole body, gathered in various meridians, and rushed towards the Qi sea of the lower dantian.
When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed into the Qi sea, under Lin Zhao's inner vision, he saw that the original pure innate true energy in the Qi sea melted like ice and snow. Most of it was stained by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and directly converted into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The other part was full of impurities and was deposited at the bottom of the Qi sea. Under the guidance of Lin Zhao's thoughts, it was discharged from the "Laogong point" in the palm of his hand.
When the original innate true qi was converted, the Qi sea was immediately filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
He constantly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I don’t know how long it has been, Lin Zhao felt a feeling of fullness in the Qi sea, and knew that he should take the exercise and nourish the Qi. His mind turned, his acupoints all over his body were closed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth no longer poured in.
Look inside the Qi Sea, guide the Qi Sea to form a cyclone, constantly rotate and condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it more condensed and pure, and slowly the feeling of fullness disappears.
Opening his eyes, looking at the hourglass beside him, knowing that at least one day has passed. He felt the vortex of spiritual energy that was constantly spinning in the Qi sea, Lin Zhao smiled with satisfaction.
In one day, I crossed the Tongmai Realm and directly entered the Qi Refining Period.
The Qi Refining Period absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; the Peiyuan Period condenses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refines and polishes it into true essence; the Jade Liquid Period condenses the Earth Evil and Tiangang in the true essence, and finally refines and polishes it into "jade liquid", etc., which are essentially the process of "refining Qi and turning into God".
Suddenly I remembered the storage magic weapon given by my master and the Fire Dragon Taoist, and I took it in my backpack. I pinched a magic trick, then a piece of spiritual power rushed out, and first penetrated the storage bag given by the Fire Dragon Taoist.
The so-called "magic power" is just a saying that when spiritual energy or true energy is released, it is used.
The storage bag has little space, about six or seven cubic meters in its previous life. There are two bottles of elixirs, a magic sword, a few talismans, and fifty low-grade spirit stones neatly stacked in one corner.
Then repeat it again and open the purple storage magic ring given by Taixu Zhenren. The space inside is the size of a basketball court, with five bottles of elixirs, two thousand spirit stones, a green robe, two stacks of talismans, a lotus-shaped flying magic weapon, a pair of gloves as thin as a cicada wing and extremely tough.
Lin Zhao took out the gloves and tried to tear them apart, without any movement. He mobilized his strength and blood, and slowly increased until his whole body was fully exerted, and he still did not move at all.
Two stacks of talismans were checked. Among them, five Vajra Talismans were used for protection, five light talismans, three thunder escape talismans and three heavenly thunder talismans.
"What a baby, what a baby! Master knows me!" Lin Zhao's happy voice echoed in the stone chamber. Among these treasures given by the master, Lin Zhao's favorite was these pairs of gloves. After putting them on, he could fully use his boxing skills in future fighting.
After coming out of the cave, looking at the rising sun in the sky, I knew that I had spent at least one more night to practice for the first time.
After taking a few deep breaths of natural air, Lin Zhao felt that he had returned to the world. Although he had already started practicing, he was still not used to sitting on the cushion all day long and closing the way of practicing in the cave.
Looking at the surrounding Yunling Mountains, it was already July.
Hearing the thunder at the top of Longshou Peak for many years, Lin Zhao didn't want to do anything for a moment, so he found a flat stone, wadeed up, and closed his eyes.
Listen quietly to the birds singing in the mountains and the beasts roaring in the distance; occasionally the fragrance of pine trees comes from the nose, and occasionally the fragrance of wild flowers in the mountains will waft in the wind.
Lin Zhao gradually relaxed his body and mind, and fell asleep soundly in the morning light.
It is precisely: refining qi and understanding the great way of Xuanzhe, cultivating truth and nurturing nature and seeking immortality!
