Knowing the cause and effect, I asked Chen Yi simply and clearly: "Do you need strength?"
"It's necessary. It's just that my body constitution is special and I haven't been able to practice Taoism. I don't know where to get the strength." Chen Yi felt happy and sad in his heart.
There was something strange in Lao Tzu's eyes, and he glanced over Chen Yi and said: "Isn't it the so-called natural Buddha body? It is both a Buddha body and a Taoist body. The Buddhist practice is not suitable for you. What are you doing?"
Why don't you try my Taoist method?"
"You can't get in through this door," Chen Yi sighed.
"I'll accept you as my apprentice, and you'll have to step in." I said cheerfully, with a smile on my face.[
Chen Yi was stunned, absolutely stunned. Not long ago, he was secretly imagining the image of Lao Tzu in his mind, but at this moment, he was about to be accepted as his disciple. What kind of amazing rhythm is this.
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that Chen Yi didn't speak, I asked again.
"Yes, I am willing." If you don't want to, you are a fool.
Later, Chen Yi learned that all this was actually arranged by Li Yu. After Li Yu and Chen Yi quarreled that day, Li Yu flew to Chengdu alone to look for me, Li Er. After finding him, he brought Wei Zheng's words to me. Who is I?
Also, it is natural to understand that a person like Chen Yi can play a key role in the future war between Buddhism and Taoism. So
Lao Tzu's nature originally advocated freedom, and he walked proudly in heaven and earth without caring about worldly affairs. However, in the past hundred years, Taoism has become more and more difficult to survive under the persecution of Buddhism. At the same time, the war between Buddhism and Taoism has also brought various kinds of problems to the human world.
Disaster. So I have been looking for a suitable person, looking for a person who can change the world.
Chen Yi took the initiative to send it to his door, actually.
Therefore, Director Li Er was actually very satisfied, but he could not express his satisfaction.
When Chen Yi learned from Laozi that Li Yu was not dead, most of the sorrow in his heart was washed away. Since the person is here, there will always be time to meet, so he is not in a hurry.
Lao Tzu said: "It is not easy for you to get started in spiritual practice. I will first teach you a set of tiger-crouching stakes. You practice first."
Chen Yi said: "How long does it take to practice this Fuhu Zhuang and enter the spiritual practice?"
I smiled and said: "Idiot, if you practice this, you will be good at it in about ten years."
Chen Yi was shocked and said: "Then I don't want to learn. I want to learn quickly."
I looked extremely ugly and said: "If you want to learn quickly, you can find another master. But back then, when I practiced the Fuhu Zhuang, I could look inside my body and sense the vitality of heaven and earth in three days."
Chen Yi suddenly laughed and said, "That's not fast enough. I've learned a lot."
Poor Taoist founder, the highly respected Taoist Master Li Er, I have seen some wretched people, but I have never seen anyone so snobbish.
So the teaching started, and damn it, when Chen Yi recalled this experience later, his hatred for Comrade Lao Li was like a torrential river.
Lao Tzu said: "If you keep your spirit inward, the fire in your heart will drop and release the water, which will be like crouching for the tiger."
Chen Yi said: "I don't understand, can you explain it more clearly?"
I was furious: "I don't understand either. That's how you carry it. Just carry it like this."
Chen Yi smiled and replied: "Just teach me how to do it. If you don't understand these theories, I don't understand them either."[
I laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, okay. The first step is to stand upright, keep your right foot still, and take a step forward with your left foot. The distance between the two feet is about two or three feet long.
, the left toe points forward; both hands are on the side of the body
Lift up and hold your arms together in front of your chest, cross your wrists, palms facing inward, and when your arms are bent, keep your hands higher than your chest. Hold your chest and straighten your back, relax your shoulders and lower your elbows, push your head upward, retract your hips, keep your body upright, and look forward.
Keep your knees straight and your center of gravity between your feet."
Chen Yi's eyes widened when he heard this.
Lao Tzu continued: "With your feet still, bend your knees and squat down. Most of the weight is on your right leg. Bend your left leg slightly straight at the knee. Bend your right leg and squat down. Your right thigh is slightly above the level. Move your center of gravity backward, forming a posture of four in front and four in back."
The six-step stance is the half-horse stance. The crotch is rounded, the buttocks are retracted and relaxed, the head is raised and the chin is retracted, the body is upright and slightly tilted forward. At the same time, when sitting with the two palms under the body, the left hand is forward
Spread your right hand backwards, palms facing each other, slightly bend your left arm and place it in front of and above your left knee. Bend your right arm, place your right palm on the side of your right ribs, hold your elbows outward, and hold your palms together. Drop your shoulders and elbows.
, hold your chest and pull up your back, let the energy sink in the Dantian. Look in front of your left hand. This is the left step to fall on the tiger pile. If you want to take the right step to fall on the tiger pile, first stand up, put your hands together and cross your chest, retract your left leg to the right leg, and then
Step out with your right foot and do the same movement as before with a right step on the tiger stand."
Chen Yi almost fainted, I laughed, boy, I told you to fight with me.
All kidding aside, this tiger-crouching stake is, after all, a Taoist secret that is not taught. The method of cultivation focuses on breathing thoughts. Breathing thoughts can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth. However, this cannot be recorded in any classics and must be taught by the master himself.
"The front foot of Fuhu Zhuan must be strong enough to step on it, both hands should be strong enough to hold it, and both elbows should be strong enough to support it. This is done with intention rather than force."
"When inhaling, the legs should be joined together, just like standing on ice. The hips and knees should be wrapped to prevent the feet from sliding and the legs should be joined together. At the same time, the hands and arms should contain holding strength when inhaling.
When exhaling, the front foot should have the strength to step on, and the back foot should have the strength to step on. At the same time, both hands and arms should have strength to support the exhalation and the Qi to treat the Dantian, and the body shape should be slightly downward. These exercises of strength
It's just an internal movement under the control of the mind, but the appearance does not change much. Practice rhythmically with each inhalation and exhalation. During practice, you can also perform vigorous exercises with one loosening and one tightening. When inhaling, relax and when exhaling.
Tighten, so that you can experience the feeling of each muscle in the body. It should be loose but not unremitting, tight but not stiff. Looseness is a means, and tightness is the purpose."
"Pull your hands forward and back to stretch out and bend your legs to squat. The movements must be coordinated. Although the body is slightly leaning forward, pay attention to retracting the buttocks and sinking downward. As you inhale and exhale, the center of gravity will slightly move forward and backward.
Move. With the slight movement of the center of gravity back and forth, practice stepping on the front foot. When the hands are stretched outward, it is like opening a spring. When hugging inward, it is like the two palms closing inward on the compression spring. Use this idea to experience the whole body's strength.
, these are all done with intention rather than force. Using force will make you stiff, but using intention will make you smart."
I treated Chen Yi diligently and never kept any secrets. My explanation of the exercises was actually very detailed and patient.
However, Chen Yi looked at me with sorrowful eyes and a look of helplessness on his face: "Master, old man, I did as you said. After standing there for so long, why can't I feel the slightest movement of my heart?
"
I looked at this incorrigible disciple and finally couldn't bear it any longer. I struck Chen Yi's Tianling Cap with a palm strike. Chen Yi felt a cool feeling running through his body, his muscles trembled, and he felt a trace of the flow of heaven and earth's vitality.
But half a moment later, this feeling disappeared. The newly established connection with the vitality of heaven and earth actually disappeared again.
