Yuan Tiangang asked tentatively: "Has Master Qin ever practiced the Taoist method of cultivating both life and life?"
"Master once taught some Taoist inner alchemy techniques, but after more than ten years of practice, I still haven't mastered it yet." Qin Hao said calmly.
Hearing this, Li Shimin became even more convinced that Qin Hao's master must be a Taoist cultivator. Even if he was not a legendary "immortal", he was at least a first-class land immortal, and he must be much smarter than the so-called "half-immortal" like Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang was also very excited. Since he had practiced Taoist methods, he was considered a Taoist. Judging from the importance Li Shimin attached to his son, if he could be guided into Taoism, it might be able to influence Li Shimin's attitude towards Taoism.
Immediately, Yuan Tiangang pointed to the Nei Jing diagram and said to Qin Hao.
"Since Mr. Qin has practiced inner alchemy, how can he know about contemplation?"
Qin Hao's eyes lit up and he looked at Huang Tingjing aside: "Does Master Yuan mean that the key to practicing the Nei Jing diagram is in the Huang Ting Jing?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded slightly and said in admiration: "Master Qin is really talented and intelligent. No wonder he can cultivate both sex and life skills to such a state."
"The Huangting Sutra is divided into an exterior scene and an interior scene. The exterior scene is the heaven, earth, universe, and all things, while the inner scene is the human body itself. This inner scene picture is the method of practicing the inner scene. Lord Qin has dual cultivation and possesses the innate true essence. He is far away from the legendary Zhu
It's just a last minute thing."
"But the creation of heaven and earth has its own destiny. It is not easy to be reborn. That's why countless Taoist ancestors live in seclusion, trying to transcend life and death and leave a path to immortality for future generations."
"And this Huangting Sutra is the key to it. The 'Cunsi method' mentioned in the Huangting Sutra is also called the method of contemplation. Lord Qin might as well try to mobilize his mind and visualize himself as an alchemy furnace, using the fire of Dantian to smelt the innate innocence.
Yuan......."
Yuan Tiangang carried his hands behind his back as if he were an expert imparting the Dharma, but when he turned around, he was shocked to see that Qin Hao actually closed his eyes and entered a state of contemplation in front of a large audience.
He has seen several Taoist masters practice contemplation, but they all have to close the gate of life and death. Once the contemplation is disturbed, the body will die and the Tao will disappear.
After a quarter of an hour, Li Shimin became impatient with waiting. Just as he was about to say something, Yuan Tiangang quickly waved to Li Shimin and led him aside before whispering.
"Your Majesty, Lord Qin is practicing an extremely advanced Taoist technique. If he is disturbed and goes crazy, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Shimin didn't quite believe it: "The consequences are so serious, why didn't you just say it?"
"I really misjudged Lord Qin's understanding. I could actually get a glimpse of the key to contemplating thoughts from just a few words, and he entered a state of trance so quickly. I really envy others for his talent." Yuan Tiangang
Bitter way.
"Then how long will it take for him to wake up?"
"If this goes well, it will take at least one or two days, and as long as three to five days. If it doesn't go well..."
"What happens if it doesn't go well?"
"This...at the least, the meridians all over the body are severed, and at the most serious...the body dies and the Tao disappears."
"I don't care what method you use to save his life. If Qin Aiqing dies, don't live anymore!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he called Jin Wuwei.
"Get everyone out of here. Except for this bull nose, no one else can enter. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"promise."
After Li Shimin left, Yuan Tiangang sat down on the floor. They all said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and this one is much scarier than a tiger.
Then Yuan Tiangang looked at Qin Hao again and prayed secretly in his heart: "Master Qin, we have no enmity in the past and have no enmity in the past. You must not harm me. You must live."
At this time, Qin Hao was in a very mysterious state. According to Yuan Tiangang's description, he visualized it as a pill furnace. The first step was done easily, but the second step: refining Qi, Qin Hao discovered that,
The Dantian was empty, there was no fire at all.
Seeing the time passing by, Qin Hao clearly felt that his condition was also declining. The visualization method consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.
A picture suddenly appeared in Qin Hao's mind. In the world of great masters, Li Cunyi asked him to hold an incense stick and light it with his bare hands on the day he passed away.
Seeing that Qin Hao couldn't do it, Li Cunyi pointed at his heart and said something.
"What I want you to light is not the incense in your hands, but the fire in your heart. Remember, kid, no matter what kind of desperate situation you encounter, as a warrior, the fire in your heart cannot be extinguished!"
"fire!"
A ball of fire appeared out of thin air, and Qin Hao could even feel the temperature of the fire. The uncontrollable "qi" in his body was constantly swirling in the alchemy furnace in his body, as if he wanted to break free, but he could only
The cycle continues.
Qin Hao could clearly feel that with each cycle, the "qi" was slightly thinner than before, but at the same time it became more solid.
I don't know how long it took, when the "qi" was refined by the furnace fire until there was only a wisp left. Qin Hao tried to guide it with his mind. It actually moved, and it was very easy to do. It was like using his arms and fingers.
a feeling of.
The meridian operation route of the Nei Jing Diagram emerged in his mind. Qin Hao guided this ray of true energy to run from the Du Vessel, through Changqiang, Shinto, and Fengfu to the top of his head, and then from Gujiao and Suliao to the Ren Vessel all the way down.
, return to Dantian.
According to the Nei Jing diagram, this process is called Xiao Zhou Tian.
Qin Hao could clearly feel that after a small cycle of heaven and earth was completed, the ray of true energy in the body had indeed grown a little more than before. Although the growth was very limited, it was enough to prove that the qi training method of the Nei Jing Diagram was effective.
Thinking of this, Qin Hao couldn't wait to guide his true energy into the next Little Zhoutian.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes and found that candles had been placed in the Jixian Hall. Li Shimin and all the Jinwu guards had disappeared, and only Yuan Tiangang was sleeping soundly next to him.
Qin Hao was secretly amused. Are you that sleepy? He stepped forward and pushed Yuan Tiangang.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuan Tiangang probably fell asleep, and even knocked off Qin Hao's hand that pushed him, but soon he jumped up from the ground with excitement.
"You...Master Qin, are you awake?"
Qin Hao was delighted. Why did the old Taoist priest look like a child who had been wronged when he saw him: "Taoist Master Yuan, why are you still here when it's dark?"
Yuan Tiangang felt even more aggrieved when he heard this. He wanted to leave, but the swords in the hands of the Jinwu guards outside refused to agree.
"Master Qin, next time you want to practice contemplation, please say hello to me in advance. It's been two days and two nights..."
Do you know how I spent these two days?
Qin Hao was slightly surprised, two days? He thought it would only be an hour or two at most.
"By the way, Lord Qin, are you... done?" Yuan Tiangang finally remembered the business and said eagerly.
Qin Hao felt the flow of true energy in his body and nodded slowly.
Yuan Tiangang laughed and jumped in disbelief with an excited expression, and there was a hint of madness in his laughter.
"Haha, practicing Qi and building foundation turns out to be really feasible. Master didn't lie to me, and Daozu didn't lie to me!"
Qin Hao can understand Yuan Tiangang's current state. In the world of a generation of masters, he has never developed Qi in his life. The difference is that he has the opportunity to travel to another world.
"Master Qin, how does it feel after practicing?" Yuan Tiangang finally came to his senses again.
At this moment, the door of Jixian Hall was pushed open, and Li Shimin came in a hurry: "Qin Aiqing, you finally woke up."
"Your Majesty is sorry for your kindness."
Li Shimin walked up to Qin Hao with a golden sword. After looking at him for a while, he said seriously: "How does Qin Aiqing feel?"
"Other than being hungry, I don't have any special feeling yet."
"Haha, I almost forgot that Qin Aiqing hasn't had a drop of water in two days. Quick, pass on the food!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked the question that Yuan Tiangang was most concerned about: "Qin Aiqing, have you gained anything from practicing in the past two days?"
Qin Hao did not hide his secrets and described the process of cultivating contemplation in detail.
Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang both listened with great concentration.
"Qin Aiqing said that there is a true energy flowing in the body. What is so special about this thing?"
This reminded Qin Hao that he was short of time and had never tested how to use this Qi.
Yuan Tiangang couldn't wait to teach Qin Hao a set of thunder techniques, but it turned out to be useless.
"I was in such a hurry today. I didn't have any talismans or magic weapons. Maybe it was due to the lack of a spell-casting medium. Lord Qin might as well come to my temple and try again someday."
Although Qin Hao didn't have high hopes for this, he didn't refuse.
Then, Qin Hao tried to transfer his true energy to his palms, and slapped the low table beside him. The hard sycamore wood was smashed into pieces. Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin both stared at each other.
Qin Hao shook his head regretfully. The power of using his true energy was not as powerful as he imagined. At most, it could only be regarded as an increase. He mainly relied on his own strength to smash the wooden table. As for the release of true energy,
There is even less hope.
At least in his current state, he can only make the true energy circulate in the meridians and acupuncture points. It is unknown whether he can achieve this in the future.
After listening to Qin Hao's explanation, both Li Shimin and Yuan Tiangang were a little disappointed, especially Yuan Tiangang, who finally thought they had seen a bright road, but it turned out to be a dead end.
"Qin Aiqing thinks this technique can lead to longevity?" Li Shimin asked tentatively.
Qin Hao shook his head: "Your Majesty, the master's skill is far superior to that of me, but he is still dead. If there is a way to live forever in this world, how can Taoism be cannibalized by foreign Buddhism?"
Yuan Tiangang's face turned ugly when he heard this, but he did not dare to refute in front of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin asked him to get an immortal person, where would he get it?
"Oh, after all, it's a mirror," Li Shimin stood up in disappointment. However, he was in his prime at this time, so he didn't take the quest for immortality too seriously. He just felt a little regretful.
"Your Majesty is wise, the reason why I practice Taoist exercises is not to seek immortality, but more to fulfill the regrets my master had before his death."
Qin Hao was not completely lying when he said this. Li Cunyi spent his whole life pursuing breaking through the limits of a warrior, and finally passed away angrily with regret. Being able to develop "Zhen Qi" can be regarded as fulfilling Li Cunyi's last wish.
"To have such a good disciple, I think the master can rest in peace even under the Nine Springs."
"It's getting late today and the palace gate has been locked. Qin Aiqing will stay in the palace for the night and then leave the palace tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After returning to the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat in front of the case, pondered for a long time and said to the screen behind him: "Do you think he is telling the truth?"
A feminine voice came from behind the screen: "I don't know whether Taoist martial arts can lead to immortality, but this kid's martial arts skills are so amazing, I never expected it."
"Oh? How about you?"
"If it's a life-and-death fight, a villain is no match."
Li Shimin fell into deep thought: "Did he find you?"
"Should have noticed something."
"Okay, I understand, please step back."
"promise."
Li Shimin looked at the candlelight on the desk and his eyes became deep: "Go and let Yuan Tiangang select a group of Taoist boys and teach them all. I will see the results within three years!"
"promise."
As soon as Yuan Tiangang returned to the temple, he received Li Shimin's order. He was surprised and happy in his heart. What he was happy about was that with this order, he could legitimately accept disciples. What was surprising was that if he didn't train any disciples within three years,
For a disciple who has unleashed his true energy, his good days will come to an end, and may even bring bad luck to the entire Taoist sect.
"That's all, let's focus on the present first."
After a while, Qin Hao returned home, took a quick shower, and called Butler Qian to him while having breakfast.
"Did anything happen at home during the two days I was away?"
Butler Qian said respectfully: "Sire, there has been nothing much in the past two days, but a man from Lantian County came to look for him. He said he was your junior brother. The villain told him that you went to the palace, and he left. Before leaving,
I also left you a letter and I put it in your study."
"Okay, I understand, you can go do other things first."
"I'll take my leave, villain."
After Qin Hao finished breakfast, he came to the study room. There was indeed a letter on the desk.
After taking it apart, Qin Hao was delighted. The characters were so ugly that Yun Ye must have run away, and the writing was in simplified Chinese characters.
The content of the letter made Qin Hao frown.
"This boy's mother's heart has been violated again."
Yun Ye said in the letter that he remembered that there would be a huge locust plague in Guanzhong next year, and he was going to give Li Shimin advice to remind him to take precautions in advance.
Needless to say, Li Shimin must have read the contents of this letter at this time.
Sure enough, not long after, the housekeeper came to report that someone from the palace invited him to enter the palace.
Rushing all the way to Chang'an, I happened to meet Yun Ye at the entrance of the palace. He was in a much more embarrassed state and was shivering from the cold.
"Brother, have you read the letter I gave you?" Yun Ye ran over when he saw Qin Hao.
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at him: "If I guess correctly, His Majesty summoned us to the palace this time just for your letter."
"you mean......."
Qin Hao directly interrupted Yun Ye's next words and warned in a low voice: "If there is any important matter in the future, it is best to discuss it in person. Don't forget the environment we are in now."
"oh."
At this time, Du Ruhui and other civil servants in the Tai Chi Hall looked at a loss. Li Shimin called them over urgently, but he just chatted with them. It didn't look like he had urgent government affairs to deal with at all.
It wasn't until a eunuch whispered something into Li Shimin's ear that Li Shimin's face suddenly became very serious.
