Chapter III: Discipline and Teaching
Xia Yifan looked back at Brother Xiaohu, a little reluctant.
"I don't know how long it will take to go down the mountain to see Brother Xiaohu when I go back to the mountain this time."
Facing the afterglow of the sunset, Xia Yifan quickly kept up with the pace of his master. All the way to the top of the mountain without a word.
At this time, it is already nightfall, and by the moonlight, you can vaguely see the three big characters on the plaque of the Taoist temple, light cloud view.
Lao Dao stood still slowly, looking at Shizun's back, Xia Yifan's heart was cold, "Is Shizun starting to reprimand me?"
But Lao Dao didn't turn around, but talked about the past with Xia Yifan. "I remember one day, late at night. For the teacher, as usual, he spit out on his knees.
Suddenly, I suddenly felt something. Then go out of the view, look up at the twenty-eight constellations, in the direction of the south seven houses, also known as the southern vermilion bird, namely: Jingmu Xuan, ghost golden sheep, willow soil roe deer, star and sun horse, Zhang Yuelu, winged fire snake, water worm.
And the ghost golden sheep star in it is faintly flickering.
This star corresponds to the head of the Suzaku. Feeling like a hidden mystery of heaven and earth, as a teacher, he took out the Qiankun fixed image compass and calculated that there was a heavenly omen auspicious rui about 20 miles south.
At this moment, I did not hesitate and rushed down the mountain.
According to the location indicated by the compass, a baby was found under a stout ginkgo tree. He also wears a quaint jade pendant around his neck. And there is a summer character engraved on it."
Hearing this, Xia Yifan suddenly exclaimed, "Is that baby me?" Lao Dao turned around and nodded.
"Fan'er, you were raised by me with millet porridge, and when you were a baby, because it was a congenital body, I couldn't deduce your numerology.
But now that you're ten years old, you still can't figure out what you're a teacher for. Hey, so much so that he forcibly calculated that he was almost eaten by the Heavenly Dao.
Fan'er, your life is peculiar, so the teacher doesn't dare to let you go down the mountain."
Lao Dao's brows were tightly locked, and he wanted to stop talking.
Then his brows furrowed, and he continued: "Although you and I are worthy of the names of master and apprentice, I have never taught you any techniques, for fear that you will violate the harmony of heaven and calculate your own origin in the future.
"Destiny is indispensable!"
How could Xia Yifan not know his master's love for him? Lao Dao has no children under his knees, and he has always treated himself like his own grandson.
Xia Yifan once remembered that on a winter night three years ago, the whirring cold wind swept the roof tiles and fell in the courtyard. There was a thud of bangs.
It was the third day that Shizun had burned two charcoal stoves in the room, and Shizun was still standing in front of my bed, looking at his thin hands, which had been submerged in the basin with ice slag many times, stirring the towel, and then opening it and putting it on my forehead.
In a drowsiness, Xia Yifan saw his father and mother again, but he couldn't see their faces clearly. Maybe only Shizun is his only relative in this world.
"Fan'er, come in with me", a stern tone came from his ears, and Xia Yifan and Lao Dao walked into the main hall of the Taoist temple.
Lao Dao pointed to the portrait in the front hall and said, "Apprentice, can you recognize this person in the portrait", Xia Yifan quickly said, "I recognize, this is the portrait of Qiu Chuji, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, the Taoist number, Changchunzi."
Then Lao Dao pointed to another portrait, "Do you recognize this", Xia Yifan continued to answer, "This is the Founding Sect Master Zhao Daojian Immortal Master, Dao Number, Xujingzi."
Lao Dao nodded, "The teacher is the tenth generation of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect, Liu Qingyuan, Dao No., Ling Xuzi."
According to the order of the hundred characters of the sect: morality through Xuanjing, Zhenchang Shou Taiqing, a copy of the Yang, the joint religion of Yongyuanming, the integrity of the Sect of Reason, the sublime heir of the Faxing, the glory of the world, the Xi Weiyan Zining, the unmodified benevolence and righteousness, the super-ascended clouds will be ascended, the great wonder of Huang Gui, the holy body is full of work, the void is beautiful, the gold and wood meet, the mountains and seas are dragon and tiger, the lotus opens the treasure heart, the line is full of Dan Shu Zhao, the moon is auspicious and the light is born, the eternal continuation of the immortal, the three realms are all pro.
Listen well, you are my faction, the eleventh generation, the one-word generation, the true descendant of Longmen. You are wearing a jade pendant with the character Xia, which should be your surname, so the teacher named you Xia Yifan. The implication is ordinary, and there is no contention and no disturbance in life.
A few dusty edges and a few sorrows, and there is no dust left in my heart. That is, the origin of your mortal words, and then give you the Taoist name, Danyang. Straight into the horizontal knife is called Dan, and it is also to let you keep that "point" of quiet heart in your heart.
What happened at the foot of the mountain today, I don't want to blame you too much. Those who do the Tao must punish evil and promote good, but the so-called overcorrection is counterproductive. We should imitate the natural way of inaction, and all things can be self-transformed.
It's not too early, so I'll go to the next bowl of noodles for you, and rest early after eating."
The next day, Xia Yifan still got up at midnight every day. That's five o'clock in the morning.
After washing, he brought water from a small stream in the back mountain and boiled it, which was prepared for the master to make tea, and then went all the way down to the mountainside and swept the fallen leaves along the stone steps up the mountain gate, which were also part of the practice.
When I came to the entrance of the view, I looked up, and the three big characters gilt on the black background on the plaque were light and cloudy. Stepping forward in the front yard, the bluestone paved road came to the main hall.
Paint incense to the portrait of the patriarch and kneel and bow, and then, after watching the master return after his fist and turning into the main hall to sit down, Xia Yifan hurriedly made tea and came forward to offer it.
And perform the disciple ceremony, which is also the ancient law.
Then the morning altar homework procedure is to clarify the rhyme, hanging, outline, and invite in the morning. After that, the mantra of purifying the heart, purifying the mouth, purifying the body, the land and the heaven and earth are recited.
Then recite the "Changqing Changjing Sutra", "Disaster Elimination and Life Protection Sutra", "Disaster Relief Sutra", "Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra", and worship the Jade Emperor, Lei Zu Baohe, Four Emperors, South Pole, North Seven Truths, South Five Ancestors and other treasures.
Then rotate nine times around the Tianzun altar in a clockwise direction, called "Zhuan Tianzun", and recite the thunder in the mouth to generalize the Tianzun mantra.
After the daily affairs were finished, the master said, "Fan'er, how are you doing now?"
Because Xia Yifan is not breastfeeding, he has been weak and weak since he was a child.
Lao Dao, for his internal decoction, external bath conditioning over the years, the body gradually strengthened, so Lao Tao also taught some body exercises, for the future practice of boxing to lay a good foundation.
Xia Yifan replied respectfully, "Now squats, and frogs jump on stone steps, do a hundred each day."
If it is one meter deep, the frog well will jump fifty times". Frog well jumping, that is, digging a one-meter-high soil pit, jumping down and jumping up again, one back and forth counting, is called frog well jumping.
There is also a training to practice the body, take a dustpan and put a stone in the middle of it that is equal to your own weight.
Then the person walks on the edge of the dustpan one inch wide, and when he has mastered that the walking balance is stable and will not step on the edge of the dustpan, he will continue to train to walk in a circle by subtracting the appropriate amount of writing stones.
Until all the stones in the dustpan are taken out and you can walk steadily, you will succeed.
Of course, there are also plum blossom piles, which are all ways to practice light exercises.
At present, Xia Yifan is undergoing these basic skills training, strengthening himself, endurance, bouncing, balance, lower grip, and flexibility.
The reason why I was able to beat a few bear children so badly was also because of these trainings.
Although Xia Yifan has not yet learned martial arts kung fu and technical attack routines, his physical fitness and martial arts foundation have reached a certain level.
And Lao Dao just said, "Okay". Xia Yifan slandered in his heart, "Xiao Daoye jumps up and down every day, and when he goes back to the room one day and lies down, he is sore and weak."
You, the master, will touch your mouth like this, "Hmm..... Fair. I really treat the little Taoist master as a monkey."
Lao Dao then asked, "Did you practice the method of qi conduction that the teacher taught you?"
Xia Yifan pondered for a long time and didn't know how to answer, so he had to lie to Shizun, "When you taught me, Master, you said that if you meditate, you will feel the internal qi converging from the bottom of the sea to the dantian qi sea.
But I've been practicing for years, and I don't feel anything other than the feeling of a warm current coming out of my fart."
It seems that Xia Yifan's poor mouth can almost turn the old anger away.
"I'm immeasurable, that Tianzun. You stubborn, you go up to the trees to dig out birds' eggs, and go down to the river to catch toads.
There is no virtue in a good life. I didn't even have a moment of peace of mind, and of course I couldn't feel the pneumatics.
The teacher will tell you that the so-called proverb in martial arts often says "practice a breath inside, and practice muscles and bones outside".
The inner and outer martial arts are distinguished by the boxing method in the training of qi and the training of muscles, bones and skins.
Practicing Qi (to guide Qi with intention, to lead the limbs and bones) is heavier than the practice of muscles and bones of the boxing method is called the inner boxing method, any of its moves are to lead with intention, fists and feet followed, more pay attention to the soft to overcome the rigid, the enemy first.
For example, Taijiquan, Baguazhang, Wudangquan, and Xingyiquan are the most typical internal boxing.
The boxing method that is more important than the practice of qi is called the foreign boxing method, which pays more attention to the strength and speed of the enemy, and takes the move first.
For example: Shaolin boxing, Hongjia boxing, all belong to foreign boxing. And our faction pays attention to the dual cultivation of internal and external, and the double cultivation of life.
"What is the meaning of nature? The beginning is true, and the spirit is blazing. What is the destiny? Innate to the fine, one breath is also.
"The creation of sex is related to the mind, and the creation of life is related to the body. "Sex is my spiritual consciousness, and life is my life.
"Human life is actually a dual fusion of two lives, namely spiritual life and physical life.
So whether it's in martial arts, or in health.
The technique of conducting qi is particularly important, and practicing it well will benefit a lot in the future.
Come, let me show you what internal qi is for external use." Lao Dao took out two treasures of the town faction, one was Taiyi Dust, and the other was the Longquan Sword.
I saw the master in the courtyard of the Taoist temple to show it, "Fan'er is optimistic about this set of swordsmanship called dust, which is from Cangzhou, created by Lu Zhenduo, the dusty swordsmanship is beautiful and varied, like a dragon playing in the water, and like lightning sweeping the clouds, fast and slow complement each other, and rigidity and softness are combined."
When attacking, blur the opponent's vision with dust, and hit his body with a sword, which is easy to defeat the enemy. The tricks of the sword of the dust: the dust has dusting, throwing, throwing, winding, cloud, and sweeping, and the sword is a little, piercing, flirting, clouding, sweeping, wiping, splitting, and hanging.
But you have to pay attention to the fact that the effect of dust brushing is not only to block and disrupt the opponent's line of sight, but also to urge it internally if necessary, and the enemy will win at the touch of a button.
I saw the old road turn over and move, and with a wave of dust, the tail was deeply inserted into the big tree in the courtyard, and the tree body was divided into the wood for three points, and the end was very good."
Xia Yifan was dumbfounded at this time, and secretly made up his mind to study hard and practice hard. One day, I will be as powerful as my master.
After that, the old way was handed over to Xia Yifan, a basic Taiyi dust-dusting kung fu atlas, let Xia Yifan memorize it and practice more, Xia Yifan opened it and looked at a total of twenty-eight styles and,
Preparatory type, the first type to wipe the Qiankun.
The second type of the yellow dragon covers the top, the third type of pedaling the five elements, the fourth type sweeps thousands of troops, the fifth type turns over the river and the sea, the sixth type raises the whip after the horse, the seventh type of the spirit monkey shrinks, the eighth type chases the wind and catches the moon, etc.
In the following months, Xia Yifan continued to practice, figuring out the map of the dust brushing exercises.
And the basic skills of boiling the body on weekdays have never fallen, but I didn't expect Xia Yifan's martial arts cultivation to really improve greatly.
