The woman in white handed the boy in gray into the hands of the Taoist priest in green robes, and took the initiative to speak, "I want to retreat."
The green-robed Taoist priest scratched the back of his head, like a newbie in love, smiled slightly, and asked: "You are so good, why are you in solitary confinement? Wait another month, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond at the top of Lotus Peak will bloom, we
Didn’t we agree to watch the lotus flowers together?”
The woman in white had no expression on her face, and said again with a slight disappointment: "I want to retreat."
The green-robed Taoist priest was a little at a loss. It seemed that she was serious about it. She asked with a worried look: "How long will it take to be in seclusion? One month or two months? It can't be half a year, right? What will happen if you don't take care of this naughty child?
It’s not about going against heaven!”
"Three years." The woman in white sighed, making a huge decision in her heart.
"Three years???" The green-robed Taoist priest was shocked. His voice rose an octave and he said, "Why does it take so long?"
"I won't leave the seclusion until I return to the void." The woman in white threw out the snow-white sword she carried with her and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute."
For the first time, the green-robed Taoist boldly took the hand of the woman in white, looked at the woman in white sincerely, and said, "Lian'er, wouldn't it be great if we stayed together like this until we grow old?"
Two clouds of clouds flew up from the face of the woman in white. She struggled slightly and did not take out her hands. Then she let the Taoist priest in green robe hold her. She turned away and said as thinly as a mosquito: "During your absence,
, I was greatly inspired by what my father told me. I thought a lot about it. Whether it is Lotus Peak, the Beast Control Sect, or even the entire world of cultivation, strength is everything. I am very afraid that as time goes by, I will lose my ability.
We have lost our beautiful appearance, so we should cultivate to the golden elixir stage before holding the wedding."
It turned out that after calling the boy in gray master and mistress for so long, the two of them had not held a wedding at all, but had an ambiguous relationship between a man and a woman.
The Taoist priest in green robe considered it carefully, then said "good", took out the package of rouge gouache purchased from Baima City and wrapped in red paper from his arms, placed it in the palm of the woman in white, and said cautiously: "Three
Within a year, when you come out of seclusion, I, Li Cangran, will definitely reach the stage of returning to the void. This is my promise to you, Li Cangran."
The woman in white gave a cry, then stepped on the snow-white sword and walked with the sword.
"Oh no, little wolf is still waiting for me over there at the Sutra Pavilion." Only then did the boy in gray clothes remember, and suddenly said, breaking the green-robed Taoist's charming fantasy.
The green-robed Taoist priest touched his chin, squatted down, and said to the boy in gray: "Your master's wife suddenly wants to retreat. It must have something to do with you. You'd better tell me everything, otherwise I will have to spank you."
.”
The green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran added: "Your wife is in seclusion now. No one can save you. You'd better tell me everything without missing a word."
The boy in gray clothes had a sad face, tugged at the corner of his clothes and remained silent.
"Pretending to be mute, are you?" the green-robed Taoist priest stood up and said, "You don't think that Master doesn't dare to beat you, do you?"
"I said, I said." The boy in gray clothes said quickly, "Master, you have to help me find the little wolf first. Now the master's wife is also in seclusion. If the little wolf gets lost and is bumped into by other brothers and uncles,
I.."
"Okay." The green-robed Taoist priest took the gray-robed boy's little hand and said, "Master will take you to find it now. I hope that damn coyote won't cause trouble everywhere."
"My little wolf is not a hyena. It is a descendant of Sirius, but it has not yet awakened its bloodline." The boy in gray argued.
"Oh, I know a lot. I even learned the technical terminology of 'awakening bloodline'. You are worthy of being my eldest disciple, Li Cangran." The green-robed Taoist said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"What big disciple? You are my only disciple, okay?" The boy in gray gave the Taoist priest in green robe a white look.
".."
".."
As the two of them were talking, they met Tang Hui who was rushing back. They saved the effort of searching. The two of them returned to the small courtyard and fell asleep separately.
The next day.
When the first ray of light in the morning shone through the small wooden window, the boy in gray clothes was woken up by the Taoist priest in green robes. The boy in gray clothes also woke up Tang Hui from his sleep. For more than a month, this was where Tang Hui slept.
The most comfortable sleep ever.
Li Cangran, a Taoist priest in green robes, used a piece of sycamore wood as thick as a bucket to carve it into a small figure the size of a boy in gray. He used a cinnabar pen to outline the meridians of the human body on the wooden figure, marking one hundred and eight acupuncture points on the human body.
Focus on drawing three red circles between the eyebrows, the middle of the chest, and the lower abdomen.
Li Cangran, a Taoist priest in green robes, touched the bald round head of the wooden figure, looked at the boy in gray clothes, and said meticulously: "Starting from today, I will learn basic knowledge in the morning, meditate in the afternoon, and only have an hour to play in the evening."
The boy in gray pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.
Green-robed Taoist Li Cangran pointed at the meridian diagram on the wooden figure and said: "The human body has twelve meridians. Most human monks practice the twelve meridians during the Qi refining period. A very small number of people are gifted geniuses. At the same time,
Also cultivate the Eight Extraordinary Meridians."
"The twelve main meridians refer to the three yin of the hands, the three yang of the hands, the three yin of the feet, and the three yang of the feet." Qingpao Taoist Li Cangran pointed out these twelve meridians to Hui respectively on the left and right hands and left feet of the wooden figure.
Yi Tongzi looked at it and said: "Actually, monks in the Qi Refining Stage use the spiritual power accumulated in their lower Dantian to open the acupuncture points of these twelve meridians in sequence, completing a cycle, and then they can achieve the Foundation Building Stage."
"The three yin of the hands correspond to the early stage of qi training, the three yang of the hands correspond to the middle stage of qi training, the three yin of the feet correspond to the late stage of qi training, and the three yang of the feet correspond to the peak of qi training. Only by opening the acupuncture points on these twelve meridians in sequence can we reach the foundation building stage.
.”
Having said this, the green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran paused, pointed to the position three inches below the navel of the lower abdomen and said: "Human monks generally call this location the Dantian. In fact, it is wrong. In fact, this is only the lower Dantian, and there is also the middle Dantian.
Dantian and upper Dantian, every human monk has three Dantian.”
Tang Hui, who was squatting aside, felt as if he was enlightened. It seemed that his lower Dantian was full and it was time to practice the middle Dantian.
"Master, where is my lower dantian?" The boy in gray clothes opened his gray robe and looked at his belly button in confusion.
The green-robed Taoist knelt down, grabbed the boy in gray's right hand, pressed his thumb and index finger, and asked the boy in gray to stretch out his middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and said: "The width of your three fingers, your body is
As you grow older, your fingers will gradually become larger, but they will always be the width of your three fingers, do you understand?"
The boy in gray made a gesture with the three fingers of his right hand at the navel, and then nodded.
Green-robed Taoist Li Cangran stood up, walked back to the wooden figure, tapped the Dantian with the tip of his cinnabar pen, and said: "Under normal circumstances, the lower Dantian is used to store spiritual power. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through daily meditation or
You can use the aura in the spiritual stone to strengthen your spiritual power. If by chance, you obtain the treasures of heaven and earth, you can also use the treasures of genius and earth to improve your physique and increase your spiritual power or lifespan. As for what the treasures of genius and earth are, we will talk about them later."
"The upper Dantian is located between the eyebrows." The green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran tapped the wooden figure's forehead with a cinnabar pen and said: "This is the place where spiritual power is stored, generally called spiritual consciousness. When cultivators improve their realm, not only
If you have enough magic power, you can improve your realm. The small realm in the Qi refining period can be calculated by using the spiritual energy to open the acupuncture points. When crossing a large realm, such as entering the foundation building stage from the Qi refining period, you must let the mental power of the upper Dantian follow the spiritual energy of the lower Dantian.
Only when the force reaches a balance can we hit the foundation building stage."
"The improvement of spiritual consciousness mainly depends on the improvement of the cultivator's state of mind. There are also many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can improve spiritual consciousness. The best way to identify spiritual consciousness is one of the best ways to identify spiritual consciousness. Internal vision means that cultivators can close their eyes.
Visually observe the situation within one's own body; the second is the outward release of spiritual consciousness, which can detect all the situations within a hundred feet away; the third is the subtle observation, which can detect all the situations within a hundred feet away, showing every detail, even within a hundred feet.
The movements of a mosquito vibrating its wings can be completely presented in the mind; the fourth is knowledge. At this time, the spiritual consciousness can cover a distance of tens of thousands of feet, or even hundreds of thousands of feet, and even the spiritual consciousness can reach
At a certain height, one can calculate heavenly secrets and deduce Taoism."
"So what about the middle Dantian? What's the use?" The boy in gray clothes asked, holding his cheek and sitting on the small bench.
The green-robed Taoist priest touched his chin and said: "As I said just now, only those geniuses with extraordinary talents, in addition to practicing the twelve regular meridians, also practice the eight extraordinary meridians during the Qi refining period. Therefore, the middle Dantian is effective for most of the bones.
For cultivators with low qualifications, understanding, and talent, the middle Dantian is abandoned. Only those rare geniuses can open the middle Dantian. At the same time, it is also called the second Dantian, which is mainly used to store spiritual power or magic power.
.”
The boy in gray turned his head, looked at Xiaolang who was listening attentively, and asked the green-robed Taoist priest: "What about the demon cultivator? Master, can the demon cultivator open the second Dantian?"
The green-robed Taoist was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The body structure of the demon cultivator itself is different from that of our human monks. Most of them rely on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and converting it into demon power in the body.
And we humans absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the Dantian stores spiritual power, which are different in nature. To be honest, the master doesn't know whether there are demons who have cultivated the second Dantian."
"Oh." The boy in gray responded, and then asked: "What about the magic secrets of human monks, can demon cultivators practice it?"
The green-robed Taoist priest stepped forward, scratched the gray-robed boy's nose, and said, "Why do you ask so many questions about demon cultivators? You are not a demon cultivator."
"Is that okay?" the boy in gray said coquettishly.
"In principle, magic and sorcery are just different names for Taoism. Different paths lead to the same goal. They are all Taoism." The green-robed Taoist thought for a while and said, "However, most demon cultivators awaken their magic by themselves.
Or the demonic skills inherited from ancestors in the bloodline. Master, in all these years, he has never seen a demonic cultivator use human magic."
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't have it." The boy in gray said with the last glimmer of hope. You must know that he went to the library to steal the secrets of the exercises and spent such a high price. If he stole so many books, Xiaolang would not be able to practice.
If so, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
The green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran smiled casually and said enigmatically: "Then the world of cultivation is so vast and full of surprises. Many things have happened in this world. Master doesn't know about it, but it doesn't mean that it hasn't happened."
"Okay, we've almost finished talking about the human body meridian diagram." The green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran said that the wooden man had moved back to the cabin, took out a book, stood in front of the boy in gray, and said: "Now I'll start talking to you.
Let’s talk about some basic knowledge of Taoism, and then it’s time to read and write. If you don’t know a single big character, even if you get the heaven-level skills, it will be in vain.”
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
"Tai Chi generates two rituals, the two rituals transform into four images, the four images transform into the Eight Diagrams, and the Eight Diagrams transform into infinity."
“The attributes of the five elements are divided into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which respectively correspond to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of the human body. They can also correspond to the five sense organs of the human face—ears, eyes, nose, lips, and tongue.
