In the evening, the sky gradually darkened, and a flaming sunset glow appeared in the western sky.

It was only at this moment that Chu Yi put down the carving knife in his hand, stood up slowly, and stretched tiredly.

On the small table, the jade Buddha has already taken shape. There are only a few details that need to be carefully carved and processed slowly. It takes the most effort to get a jade article here. If you are not careful, if you make a mistake with the knife, all your efforts will be wasted.

Make up, so it is also the most test of a carver's basic skills. What stands out is the word "steady".

Chu Yi concentrated on carving all afternoon, and now his energy is exhausted and his mind is tired. If he continues to carve, he may make mistakes. It is better to stop and recuperate first.

After packing up the jade Buddha, the carved utensils on the table, and the furniture that had been drying for two days, Chu Yi walked into the kitchen and casually ordered a bowl of noodles. That was all for dinner. There was really nothing to be particular about eating alone.

of.

While waiting for the water to boil, Chu Yi turned on his phone, ready to watch videos and watch the news, but the next second after turning it on, countless messages instantly flooded the entire screen.

"Damn it! How can we talk like this?!"

Chu Yi looked at the records in the chat group with a surprised look on his face. Among them, the most discussed ones were the seven tiger-shaped pictures and the 'crouching dragon and phoenix chick' who posted the pictures. Moreover, several people also sent him private messages through the chat group,

The content is mostly about whether the map can be externally transmitted...

It can be inferred from this that these five maps carved on wooden tablets should be relatively precious things. No matter how bad they are, they are still cultural relics! Anyway, they are valuable!

Although a picture of the seven tiger shapes has been circulated, luckily I was too lazy to upload the other four shapes to the Internet at the time, otherwise my grandma's family would be at a loss.

Seeing how everyone in the group was so eager for the complete picture of the atlas, Chu Yi couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Does spiritual practice really exist? Those wooden tablets passed down from the family shouldn't be some magical secret book, right? Forget it, now

There is no point in thinking blindly, the best way is to find a way to practice first! Although I don’t understand the meaning of the picture, I am afraid that no one will teach me if I use the other four pictures as a guide! Although the Pinghu layman said that the Dharma should not be taught lightly, but this is not the case.

The representative cannot pass it on, but it is not impossible to pass it out two or three times if necessary. Again, I don’t feel sorry for you..."

Chu Yi was thinking about this, and wanted to go to the chat group immediately to speak and ask for advice, but then he thought about what Pinghu layman said about the mixed group, and he had a rare treasure, which would inevitably attract the covetousness of some people with bad intentions, so in the end

The safe way is to select a few suitable candidates and let them teach... As for those who send private messages asking for help, they can be excluded directly.

After making up his mind, Chu Yi browsed the list of members in the group.

Today, the metaphysics cultural exchange group has 115 members under the painstaking management of the group leader Pinghu layman for many years. However, as Pinghu layman said, the group is a mixed bag, and he is a newbie, so it is difficult to understand the current situation in the group.

....However, yesterday’s conversation with Wren Sanren really revealed a lot of useful information.

First of all, the person named Chong Mingzi should be a true cultivator. From the attitude of Wren Sanren, it can be seen that this person is quite powerful. He should be considered the top one in the group.

Secondly, judging from the content of the exchange between Wren San and Wutong Layman, this Wutong Layman is also a practical practitioner, but his cultivation level is low, or he has no introduction at all, and he is the kind with rich theoretical knowledge.

Counting the group leader Pinghu Jushi, there are four suitable candidates.

Chu Yi looked at the portraits of these four people, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to contact one of them first. It would be best if he could get advice from the two 'big guys', Pinghu Jushi and Chongmingzi.

The two 'Kings of Strong Mouth', San San and Wutong Layman, can also be used. Anyway, it is more than enough to teach a layman like myself.

After making up his mind, Chu Yi first sent a message to layman Pinghu, "Group leader, are you there? Can I ask you about spiritual practice?"

At this moment, in a small farmyard on the edge of Taihu Lake, a young man looked at the message on the screen and suddenly felt something, so he casually pulled out a bamboo stick from the stick on the table, looked at the signature, and felt happy.

He smiled and said: "It seems that 'Chengfeng Ferry' will have another comrade, and he is a lucky one."

After the young man put the bamboo sticks on the table, he replied: "It's very helpful for me to read your family heirloom map. It also means that I have a relationship with you. I don't dare to ask for advice. If you have something unclear,

I'll try my best to answer."

On the other side, Chu Yi was holding a bowl of pearl, emerald and white jade noodles and was about to start using chopsticks. After receiving the news from Pinghu layman, he was slightly overjoyed and immediately spoke and asked: "Group leader, I want to practice the atlas handed down by my ancestors.

, but I don’t know how to start. I can basically recognize the traditional Chinese characters, but when they are combined together, I don’t understand the meaning.”

Pinghu layman replied: "Those things you don't understand are qigong terms. What your family has passed down is the internal training method of the medical school. This tiger-shaped diagram focuses on the liver's qi, which is guided by breathing and body movements.

Stimulate and strengthen liver vitality..."

But before he finished speaking, Chu Yi suddenly interrupted: "Wait a moment, group leader, when you talk about body-building internal training...could it mean that this Kung Fu is a health-preserving skill?

?"

"Of course." Pinghu layman replied with a smile.

I saw Chu Yi sighing with pity on his face: "That's it. I thought it was some magic secret book like the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Magic Technique! In the end, it can only be about keeping in good health... Forget it, keeping in good health

Not bad, at least you can live longer."

"Oh, it's like this again. Why does every newcomer only think about fighting and killing? That's not what practicing Qi Qi is for..."

Pinghu layman looked at the message he sent and sighed helplessly, but he could only continue: "The tiger shape practice method has been translated into vernacular and will be sent to you later, but you have to pay attention.

One thing is, when you first start practicing, you cannot feel the sense of Qi and cannot actively transport the acquired internal Qi, so there will basically be no problems during practice. If you find the sense of Qi, you must not practice internal practice privately."<

/p>

"Why?" Chu Yi asked while eating noodles and typing.

Pinghu layman replied: "Because the sense of Qi is a threshold from the outside to the inside. In layman's terms, it is the transition from external Kung Fu to Internal Kung Fu... External Kung Fu involves breathing and breathing, standing postures, etc.

Generally speaking, even if you make a mistake, your life will not be in danger; and the process of internal Qi practice involves meridians, acupoints, organs, etc. If you are not careful and the Qi flow is diverted, the meridians will be disordered and the organs will be injured, or the internal organs will be in trouble.

The most miserable thing about those who are dying is that those who become possessed and lose their consciousness will either go crazy for the rest of their lives, or they will be attacked by their inner demons on the spiritual platform, and then they will kill everyone in sight, harming others and themselves. The final outcome is nothing but exhaustion.

died, or was dealt with by others..."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "...So, when you first try to practice internal qi, it is best to have someone to 'protect the law and check the skills'. If there is a problem, you can interrupt it in time to avoid it."

After you become familiar with the above tragedies, you can practice alone."

"Oh...I see." Chu Yi nodded, showing a look of understanding, and then asked: "Then what does it mean to feel inner energy? What is inner energy? There is something in martial arts novels.

Are the two terms of internal force the same?"

Pinghu layman replied: "Well, almost, but the internal force described in martial arts novels is more like a kind of energy, and the internal energy is a part of your life, also called vitality; as soon as a person is born, the innate Qi will differentiate.

The Three Treasures of Acquired Heaven are Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi and Yuan Shen. Jing is the foundation of life and Shen is the root of sex. However, sex is in the sky and life sinks to the bottom of the sea. The two cannot meet each other. Yuan Qi is a bridge connecting life.

Although these three treasures have categories, they are actually one. Just like water, it flows into water, condenses into ice, and rises into steam... The same is true for the three treasures.

It’s very simple to feel Qi. If you feel it, you feel it. The mystery of it can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words..."

When Chu Yi heard this, he frowned and thought hard, not knowing why. Finally, he could only say helplessly: "Why are there more innate energy and acquired three treasures? What you said makes me more and more confused."

"Haha, it's a bit profound for a beginner like you, so don't worry about it for now. Just practice it and you'll understand it naturally." Pinghu layman smiled indifferently, and then added another point,

"By the way, you don't understand anything when you first start practicing. You must not start with the tiger shape. The liver belongs to the wood in the tiger shape. Too much liver qi can easily disturb the mind. It is best to start with the bear shape. The spleen belongs to the earth in the bear shape, and the five elements are in the middle.

, most suitable for coordinating changes in one’s own Qi.”

"How do you know there are also bear-shaped ones?" Chu Yi asked doubtfully.

Pinghu layman said matter-of-factly: "How new! I have mentioned before that your family's martial arts was derived from the ancient Wu Qin Xi. Others may not be able to tell, but a knowledgeable person can guess it at a glance.

, but it’s just a rough idea. As for how to breathe and how to guide the flow of qi, these are absolutely impossible to guess, and this is also the fundamental secret of various sects... Outsiders can only glimpse it.

Half-claw, if you practice it forcefully, the final result will be just to copy a cat, but not a tiger, and few will end well."

Seeing this, Chu Yi muttered to himself, "Bear shape, this hasn't been translated yet... Oh, I understand, hehe, it's so tactful, I'm not a stingy person.

”

After Chu Yi chuckled, he took a picture of the wooden tablet with the bear shape recorded on it with his mobile phone and sent it directly to him, "Here are the seven forms of the bear shape. Could you please help me translate it?"

At this moment, in the small courtyard of Taihu Farmhouse, the young man looked at the newly uploaded picture on the screen of his mobile phone. He never expected that such a good opportunity would come to his door. For a moment, he was a little at a loss.

After the young man calmed down, he laughed at himself: "His actions make me look like a villain, I feel ashamed..."

After sighing, he immediately replied: "My friend, you may not know how precious your family's Kung Fu is. Although it is not as valuable as those secretly collected Kung Fu books of famous sects, it can definitely be regarded as a top-notch one.

A good method of nourishing one's strength and cultivating one's moral character is a lucky thing for ordinary people to get a glimpse of. If you just pass it on to me, are you willing to give it to me?"

I saw Chu Yi sending several laughing expressions in succession, and said very casually: "There is nothing to be reluctant to give up. Only by giving up can you gain something."

"Haha, what a wonderful person."

Pinghu layman heard the words and smiled happily, and then said: "In that case, I am shameless to accept it... By the way, my surname is Gu Zezhi, I don't know my brother's surname?"

Chu Yi smiled and said: "It's easy to say. My surname is Chu, and my given name is also the same character."

At this moment, one is in Taihu Lake and the other is in Yuezhou. The two of them smile tacitly and talk happily like close friends.

Just listen to Gu Zezhi continue to say: "Brother Chu, although you are very angry when you post pictures, I still have to mention that the Internet is really unsafe. If you continue to post pictures randomly like this, you may be arrested again.

It spread."

When Chu Yi saw this, he was stunned for a moment and said cautiously: "This is a private message between us, so it should be fine. It won't happen next time... But didn't you send out the training method, so you still have the nerve to talk to me?

”

Hearing this, Gu Zezhi replied dumbfounded: "I'm different. What I'm talking about is just training methods. Ordinary people don't have charts for reference. Who dares to practice! As I said before, internal training to move Qi is a matter of course.

It’s a thousand miles off, and it’s easy to go crazy if you make even one mistake.”

"Haha, that's true." Chu Yi said with a smile.

After that, the two talked about some matters needing attention in practice. After sorting out Chu Yi's practice matters, Gu Zezhi went offline to eat.

At this time, the wind from Taihu Lake blew into the small courtyard. Through the slightly opened window, I opened the book on the table and saw that the content on the page corresponded to the bamboo stick on the side.
