Chapter 11: The Secret of Longevity
The moon is like a silver platter, and the sky is full of stars.
On a small hill behind Yujiaao Village, a thin figure was lying on a huge bluestone, and the young man was holding a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the huge full moon hanging in the sky, waiting quietly......
As soon as Zi Shi arrived, he saw the young man sitting cross-legged, his palms upwards and naturally flat in front of the lower dantian, whispering an obscure word in his mouth, and at the same time, the ten fingers of his hands were constantly pinching out a series of mudras, which were complicated, leaving only a string of hand shadows.
The young man is none other than Yu Zehai.
At this time, I saw Yu Zehai with his eyes slightly closed, and his face was solemn and solemn. Feeling the little moonlight poured on the body by the full moon, under the traction of the mental mantra, these moonlights were gradually inhaled into the body, and then followed the established vein route for a few weeks, and finally slowly converged towards the dantian.
If there are outsiders here at this time, they will definitely find that the moonlight on the mountain behind Yujiaao Village has become more and more dazzling tonight, from the sporadic points of light that initially poured on Yu Zehai's head, to the faint beam of light the thickness of his thumb, until finally, a thick pillar of light that is clearly visible to the naked eye has been formed, enveloping Yu Zehai's entire person from top to bottom.
From a distance, the massive moonlight that gathered was like a milky white mist lingering around Yu Zehai's body, graceful and light, as magnificent as that dreamy bubble.
One minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
......
The clock ticked by, and soon an hour passed.
Suddenly, Yu Zehai's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and in the dark pupils, the blue and white light flashed rapidly, and he saw his mouth open slightly, and a mouthful of somewhat turbid gas was spit out.
"Huh~ It turned out to be?"
After closing his eyes slightly again, and after sensing the trickle of meridians flowing in his body, Yu Zehai muttered with excitement and joy.
Feeling the changes in his body, Yu Zehai looked at the silver plate above his head and said to himself: "However, is this "Recipe for Longevity" really just an ordinary method of cultivating the body and mind?"
This "Recipe for Longevity" is the cultivation method taught to him by Yu Zehai in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain in his previous life, which is said to have been handed down from ancient times. The "Recipe for Longevity" has a total of six levels, corresponding to the six major realms of the martial artist's Qi refining, hemolysis, Inner Dan, Dharma Phase, Pure Yang, and Divine Spirit! Among them, the Qi refining period can be divided into nine small realms, corresponding to the first to ninth layers of Qi refining; and each major realm after the hemolysis period can be divided into three small realms: the beginning, the middle, and the last.
At the beginning, the old Taoist priest and Yu Zehai had a similar temperament, and the two got along happily, coupled with Yu Zehai's superb cooking skills and delicious food, they finally succeeded in grabbing the heart of the old Taoist. So, when the two sides were parting, the old Taoist priest cautiously taught Yu Zehai the "Recipe for Longevity" he had cultivated.
Yu Zehai was not so optimistic that he dreamed of reaching the point of becoming an immortal and a god just by cultivating the "Recipe for Longevity". It's just that, just like the old Taoist priest said, this is a health preservation method, if you study diligently, it will only be good for your own growth, and there will be no harm at all.
Now, although Yu Zehai has learned the first method of gravity of "The Secret of Longevity", it is only the first glimpse of the door, and it is not even a beginner. But he obviously realized that the changes and benefits brought to him by "The Recipe for Longevity" were not as simple as an ordinary self-cultivation method at all.
In addition, what Yu Zehai didn't know was that the reason why he was able to learn the first heart method of the "Longevity Formula" in such a short period of time and successfully reached the first level of qi refining was mainly because his soul was different from ordinary people. The two lives are human, and they have gathered the experience and accumulation of past lives and present lives, so Yu Zehai's soul is far stronger than ordinary people!
To know.
For all life, the soul is innate, and it may vary from person to person, but the gap between them is not too big. Of course, a person's soul will also increase with age, but there is never an effective way to exercise the soul alone, even those who cultivate, it is difficult to do it!
Therefore, the strength of the soul has created Yu Zehai's cultivation talent.
Second, because today is the night of the full moon. On the night of the full moon, the qi of Taiyin is the strongest, and it can be said that the cultivation of this hour today is at least worth dozens of days of penance.
Finally, this is also inseparable from Yu Zehai's thousands of days and nights of hard work in his previous life. If it is about the degree of familiarity and study of this mental method, the "Recipe for Longevity", Yu Zehai will never be lower than that old Taoist priest, and even surpass.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Zehai was able to successfully sense the qi in such a thin environment as the aura of heaven and earth in such a short period of time, thus reaching the first level of qi refining. You must know that in his previous life, he sat on the blessed land of Zhongnan Mountain, but when he successfully cultivated to the first level of qi refining, it took more than three springs, summers, autumns and winters......
Through the bright moonlight, Yu Zehai overlooked the entire small basin in a daze, his eyes couldn't help but be a little fluttering and wandering, and he whispered in his mouth: "This is Yujiaao Village, this is my home! My Yu Zehai's otherworldly journey will also start from here!"
Early the next morning, Yu Zehai opened his eyes at about half past six, and at the other end of the big bed, the little wolf cub was curled up and sleeping soundly.
"Made, don't you say that wolves are nocturnal creatures, how can this little thing be so sleepy?" Yu Zehai muttered with some curiosity, and then got dressed and got up. At this time, the alert little crab also opened its eyes, and hurriedly jumped out of bed and followed Yu Zehai out of the door.
On the courtyard dam, Yu Zehai finished the warm-up exercise, so he put on a posture and started a set of boxing techniques. This is the supporting move in "The Recipe for Longevity" - Longevity Fist.
In fact, like the techniques and moves in martial arts novels, most of them are used for show. Think about it, when you are playing against someone, who will be stupid to play according to the routines of techniques and moves? If you attack the left side of the enemy, the other party will already greet you to the right.
Whether it is a friendly exchange or a life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, attacking it is unprepared, and attacking the enemy's shortcomings with one's own strengths is the last word!
Merely.
As cultivators excavate and refine the small world of their bodies, their senses of sight, hearing, and sensitivity will come out much faster than ordinary people. In this way, in the process of fighting people, there is more time to predict the opponent's intentions, and then use the most effective moves to knock the opponent down at once.
This is the true meaning of cultivation!
Performing the Immortal Fist again, Yu Zehai's movements were as chic and natural as flowing water in his peers, and every move was connected together naturally. Of course, in the process of boxing, it is best to cooperate with the breathing and breathing technique of "Longevity", otherwise it will not have such a good effect.
Changsheng boxing is based on health preservation, the boxing method is soft and warm, just like the old Taoist priest said, if you can insist on long-term practice, you can improve human blood circulation, promote the body's intracellular respiration, etc., so as to greatly improve physical fitness and prolong life.
The little crab squatted not far from the courtyard dam and watched curiously, but it was soon dizzy by Yu Zehai's movements, so he ran to the courtyard to play with a "woo".
After a simple freshening up, Yu Zehai was about to go to the backyard with a pickaxe. At this time, the little crab ran over and bit his storehouse, looking at him pitifully. Seeing this, Yu Zehai couldn't help patting his head, this girl looked hungry, poured a porcelain bowl of spring water for the little guy, and the little crab drank it cracklingly.
"Although this spiritual spring is more useful than milk, you can't just drink water......
Yu Zehai shook his head slightly, not long after the little thing was born, the teeth in his mouth have not yet grown, and now he drinks water by licking, I have to say that it is a miracle that the crab can live until now. After thinking about it, Yu Zehai came to the pigsty again, and poured a lot of spring water into the stone trough of the little wild boar cub, and then walked towards the backyard.
In rural areas, almost every household has a vegetable patch in front of and behind the house, in which most of them are planted with green onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, coriander and some seasonal vegetables. Therefore, rural people rarely go to the market to buy vegetables and grain, because the food they eat is home-grown, and the vegetables they eat are also grown in their own vegetable gardens.
In a word, only by owning land, as long as people are diligent and not lazy, there will never be a phenomenon of not being able to eat.
Going out from the backyard of Yu Zehai's house, it is not so much a vegetable garden as a large field. This is his family's homestead and self-reserved land, which together has almost more than three acres, and now in addition to some home-cooked seasoning vegetables, there are also home-cooked seasonal dishes such as peppers, bitter gourds, eggplants, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.
The vegetable garden in the backyard was actually very neatly taken care of by his parents, and Yu Zehai took a big turn in the field with a pickaxe, but he didn't find a place to start. So he threw away his pickaxe, turned around, took out two large wooden barrels from his house, filled them with water, and carried them into the ground.
"There are no weeds to hoe in the field, I can't pick up water to water the vegetables?" Yu Zehai pursed his lips and muttered to himself.
Moreover, according to his original idea, hoeing grass is just a process, and finally watering vegetables with spring water is his ultimate goal!
Rural people, as long as there are people in the family, then they will never let the land go barren. The same is true for Yu Zehai's family, the fields are full of rice, and the dry land is full of corn, and it is obviously impossible for him to grow vegetables on a large scale at this time, at least until the corn in the field is harvested. Then, at present, the vegetable garden of more than three acres can be carefully built into a test field.
The people live on food!
A former amateur chef, Yu knows what good ingredients mean to a top chef and foodie.
A simple plate of sweet and sour cabbage is just the most common home-cooked dish in the countryside, which may be sold for dozens of yuan in small restaurants and hotels, but can be sold for hundreds of yuan in some private restaurants. The gap between them, such as brand, grade, taste, and cooking skills is only secondary, the important thing is the ingredients!
