Chapter 3 Heaven produces water
"Taoist Priest, you won the prize." Qu Yong scratched his head in embarrassment, but he was confused: "Taoist Priest, I'm afraid I won't have three years left. I'm currently studying in college..."
"Oh, that's it..." The old Taoist said with a gloomy face and extremely disappointed: "That's right, my child, you are so smart, it was when you were in college..."
Qu Yong saw the disappointed face of the old Taoist and knew that he sincerely wanted to teach him. Moreover, after seeing the old Taoist's kung fu, he respected him like a god and wanted to learn martial arts from the old Taoist. "Taoist master, two months is enough?"
"
"Two months? It's just superficial." The old Taoist said smoothly.
Qu Yong made up his mind, suddenly changed from sitting to kneeling, and begged: "Boy Qu Yong, please accept me as a disciple..."
The old Taoist said happily: "You..."
Qu Yong said: "Even if I only scratch the surface, I still want to learn from the old Taoist."
"Fur, fur..." The old Taoist priest stood up with bare feet. Instead of looking at Qu Yong, he looked at the sunset and murmured: "What can you learn in two months? Hey..." He leaned down and helped Qu Yong up.
Staring at him with knife-like eyes, he said: "Son, we are destined to be together, how about I teach you Xingyiquan all the way?"
"Thank you, Master!" Qu Yong was overjoyed and wanted to kneel down to worship his master, but was helped by the old Taoist and could no longer kneel down.
The old Taoist smiled and said: "You didn't pass on the medical skills to the poor Taoist, so I will teach you all the way to Xingyi Quan. You can't be considered my apprentice. Let's just call it an old friend."
When Qu Yong saw that he refused to accept him as his disciple, he couldn't help but feel disappointed and said: "Then I will call you master in my heart, but I will still call you Taoist priest in my mouth. You will always be my elder like my grandfather."
Seeing Qu Yong's sincere face and respect for his elders, the old Taoist couldn't help but laugh, "This child is really cute. I didn't expect that God treats the poor very well. He will give me a good child in my old age!"
Qu Yong also laughed. He saw the joy on Lao Dao's face and was also happy in his heart.
"My child, it's already getting late. You might as well stay here on Pindao." The old Taoist said, "How about we sit down and have a long talk?"
Qu Yong said happily: "I wish I could have asked for it." He was new to the magic of kung fu, and he felt itchy in his heart. He wanted to ask the old Taoist for advice.
Old Tao put on his shoes, held his hand, and walked towards the edge of the cliff and said: "You must not reveal anything about Old Tao here, teaching you martial arts, and other things, even if your close relatives ask.
I can’t say, can you do it?”
Seeing his serious face, Qu Yong also knew that this veteran lived in seclusion in the mountains and had his own reasons for not wanting to reveal his whereabouts. He said sternly: "I promise not to reveal it to anyone, otherwise there will be thunder and thunder!"
"Good boy!" The old Taoist nodded and said, "I believe you are a sincere gentleman."
As they were talking, they had already reached the foot of the straight peak. After groping for a moment, the old Taoist found an iron chain hanging from a flying cliff among the green creepers, and climbed up with Qu Yong. The peak was so bright that
It is slippery, with only some green vine leaves, and no place for limbs. If it were not for this iron chain, it would be difficult for people to climb up even if they have extremely high martial arts skills.
After arriving at Feiya, Qu Yong saw clearly that the terrain was steep and the Taoist temple was inlaid on the cliff, like a bright pearl inlaid on the brim of a hat. Looking from top to bottom, the mountains are embracing each other and stretching endlessly. From here,
It's extremely hidden.
The old Taoist put Qu Yong down and said: "This is the Tianyi Taoist temple. The poor Taoist Taoist name is "Tianyi", so he named it: the sky creates water, and the earth and the six merge into it. It can also be said that the six and one are scattered, hahaha...
..." He laughed for a while, then noticed that Qu Yong looked confused, and then remembered that he didn't understand Chinese medicine, so he felt that it was boring and extremely regretful.
"Child, sit down." Priest Tian was sitting on the threshold, with his feet dangling in the air. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit down!"
Qu Yong felt that although Tian Daochang had extremely high martial arts skills, he still seemed to have a childish innocence and was very friendly to get along with. He sat on the edge and looked down, his eyes widened and happy, and he smiled and said: "I have never sat down before.
It’s so high.”
Taoist priest Tian also smiled and said: "Let's talk about Xingyiquan. Two people have to mention it. The first one is Guo Yunshen, who is known as the half-step collapse fist to conquer the world, and his disciple Sun Lutang integrates Tai Chi and Bagua Xing.
The integration of mind and body into one body is recognized in the martial arts world: the tiger-headed Shaobao is the best in the world. So, if you learn this Xingyiquan well, it will not be a big deal!"
Qu Yong clicked his tongue after hearing this and said: "So powerful?"
There was a hint of mockery on the corner of Tian Daochang's mouth, and he said: "However, there are thousands of people in the world who have learned Xingyi, but how many people can really reach the realm of transformation? Now is the "end of martial arts period", and martial arts will be
All lost."
"Hey..." Qu Yong also sighed: "What we discard is not only martial arts, but also countless essences. When I was in history class, I remember that the teacher once talked about the so-called great revolution in modern times. He
He was weeping while gritting his teeth and scolding future generations for being unworthy..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Taoist Priest Tian calmed down and said: "Pindao's martial arts is somewhat different from the sects handed down today. There are two more points. Before their apprentices enter, the first thing they say is to put on a belt and practice martial arts in one breath.
Just practice this tone, are these words correct? They are both correct and incorrect."
Taoist Master Tian paused for a moment, then continued: "Today's martial arts practitioners must first refine Qi, then refine Qi into Spirit, and finally refine Spirit to return to void. In fact, this is a big detour. Essence is the source of life.
Qi is the maintenance of life. God controls essence and Qi. Essence, Qi and Shen are one. Although I only teach you the most common Xingyiquan, you can follow my way and practice every day to refine Qi.
, refining qi to transform into gods, refining gods to return to emptiness, this is done at the same time."
"Their training method, in the end, is to refine the spirit and return it to the highest state of nothingness, which is the so-called innate state. But the price is to erase the acquired functions and become empty. This is a big mistake! The essence of the human body
, the innate essence from parents can be called the foundation, and the acquired essence from food and water can be said to be complementary. The two complement each other, so that the essence of the body can be generated. If they do it like this, wouldn't they destroy the foundation?"
Qu Yong couldn't help but feel happy and relished it, but when he thought about it carefully, he immediately became discouraged. Everyone can tell the truth, but how to practice it specifically?
Taoist Priest Tian looked at him and knew what he was thinking in his heart. He smiled and said: "When we practice martial arts, we have to explain these things clearly. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that a discerning person takes a dark road? No matter how big his eyes are, he can't see.
Where are you going? After walking for a long time, who knows, you are still wandering in the alley?"
"That's what the Taoist priest said."
Priest Tian stood up, touched his belly and said, "After talking for a long time, my mouth is dry and my stomach is hungry. Okay, let's cook first and eat later."
Qu Yong said: "Taoist Master, I know how to cook. I'll do it. You can rest and wait until you eat."
Taoist priest Tian was overjoyed, rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, you can also cook, that's great."
Qu Yong entered the kitchen skillfully. Although Taoist Temple was secretive that day, there were some daily necessities. He steamed rice and fried two vegetarian dishes. He brought it out and greeted him. Taoist priest Tian ate it.
After taking a bite of the enoki mushrooms, I immediately decided that Qu Yong would cook all the dishes in the future. It was much more delicious than the ones he fried himself.
After finishing the meal, Qu Yong came out after washing the dishes. Taoist priest Tian lit half a red candle, burning the darkened Taoist temple red. He held a stick of incense and pointed at the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty who offered sacrifices and said:
"Come on and burn incense. Even though you are not a member of the Taoist sect, you can come with me and burn incense."
"Yes." Qu Yong also accompanied him and offered the incense respectfully.
Taoist Priest Tian sat down, placed the half red candle on the shabby Eight Immortals table, and said to Qu Yong: "Child, look, what does this candle look like?"
Qu Yong shook his head.
"To use a not-so-appropriate metaphor, this is human essence. You see, the candle is essence, the flame is gas, and the light is god. If you want to illuminate the entire Taoist temple, child, all you need is a
Light the fire of the candle."
From this moment on, Qu Yong finally officially embarked on the path of learning martial arts.
That night, Taoist Tianyi had already cooked a bowl of sweet and greasy medicinal soup and asked Qu Yong to drink it. He also asked him to take off his clothes, pierce them with silver needles, and sit in a wooden barrel full of medicinal soup to soak all night.
Said: "What you drink is to nourish the five internal organs and replenish qi and blood. What you wash is just the bones and skin of the earth. Add a little salt to Pindao's unique secret recipe. If you don't learn medicine, I'm afraid this recipe will be lost in the future."
After daybreak, the old Taoist took him down the cliff and said to a small mound of soil under the nascent sun: "There is a cliff pine seed buried here. What I want is for you to grow with it. It will always be the standard and weathercock in the future."
high and steep!"
Qu Yong agreed loudly.
Master Tianyi said with satisfaction: "Today, we are going to perform the Yi Bone, the Yi Jing, and the marrow refining. Originally, this step required the inner strength to reach the point where the Qi can penetrate three fields, the river cart rotates, and the horse Yin hides the appearance, but we don't have this
Time, just let me take you away, we just take our time."
In addition to the three levels of skills of refining essence and transforming qi, refining qi and transforming spirit, and transforming spirit into emptiness, Xingyiquan also has three training methods and three-level progression.
The three progressions are Yi Gu, Yi Jing, and Marrow Refining.
There are three training methods: Ming Jin, Dark Jin and Hua Jin.
Ming Jin exercise is also a bone-liberating process, which is to "strengthen the body", enhance the supporting strength of joints and bones throughout the body, and increase the range of motion of each joint.
The exercise of An Jin is an exercise process of elongating tendons and stretching the tendons into grooves. It is to stretch the ligaments and increase their toughness. Therefore, the exercise process of An Jin is also the process of relaxing tendons.
Hua Jin is a kind of Ling Hua Jin that obeys the flow of the other party's energy. It mainly exercises internal energy and the dexterity of the transformation of internal energy. In its application, it has to neither lose nor support, sacrifice oneself and obey others, be gentle to others and strong to others.
The wonderful use of hardness and softness is also the process of marrow transformation in Xingyiquan.
Qi travels through the Dantian and spreads between the muscles and five internal organs. At this time, the Qi must be gathered into the bones to fill the bone marrow, the essence and blood will be generated, hair will grow continuously, the marrow will be strong and the bones will be strong, so that spiritual power can be generated.
