Chapter 2 The Path of Cultivation

"Grandpa, why didn't you kill that demon spirit?" Yi Xing couldn't help but ask the old man in Tsing Yi.

When the old man heard Yi Xing ask, he was obviously stunned for a moment. "Why do you want to kill that demon?" the old man did not answer him, but asked Yi Xing.

"Everyone else says that demon spirits are a scourge to human beings, it's not a good thing! And she was going to kill me just now!" Yi Xing was puzzled why the old man asked.

"What's your name?What about your family?Why did you come here alone?" The old man didn't answer the doubts in Yi Xing's heart, but reached out and touched Yi Xing's head, which was very kind.

"My name is Yi Xing! I'm an orphan and have no family, so I'm here to collect some dry firewood and sell it to others tomorrow for some money and food. When Yi Xing said this, he couldn't help but look at the dry firewood scattered on the ground in the distance.

The old man saw the easy move, and he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for this ill-fated teenager in his heart. Walk up and pick up the dry wood scattered on the ground.

"You just said that the demons are a scourge on humans, and that's true. But not every demon has ever harmed humans! So not every demon should be killed. The old man said this, and his words were full of sighs.

"Then why do others say that the demon spirits deserve to die, and they are all scourges?" Yi Xing asked the old man when he heard what the old man said.

"This is all a grudge! Humans and demon spirits have lived together in the Heavenly Spirit Continent for countless years, and the filthiness between each other has existed for a long time, coupled with the continuous promotion of people with intentions. That's why we're in the situation we have now. In fact, there is no need for this at all, demons are also living beings, and like humans, there are good and evil, and they also want to survive......" The old man seemed to sigh something.

"Why am I telling you this? You are still young, so you may not be able to understand this truth, but in the future, if you embark on the path of cultivation, the day when you have the strength, remember not to follow the crowd, and to judge right and wrong, good and evil. Otherwise, you may regret it!" the old man admonished Yi Xing earnestly.

Although Yi Xing didn't understand the old man's words, he still kept them in his heart. Growing up so big, no one has ever spoken to him like this, and he can feel the care of the old man, just like the old grandfather who raised him before.

"Grandpa, I remembered!" Yi Xing nodded affirmatively.

The old man saw that Yi Xing's expression was very solemn, and his originally heavy mood became relaxed. Pick up the bundle of dry firewood and say, "Let's go, I'll send you home!"

When Yi Xing heard this, he looked a little flustered, and said with a red face and embarrassment: "I don't have a home, I live in a ruined temple outside the city......"

When the old man heard this, his eyes seemed to be a little moist. sighed......

"Then go to the ruined temple......"

When he came to a ruined temple, Yi Xing hurriedly walked in, first cleaned up a clean place and let the old man sit. Then he took out the bedding on which he was sleeping, and laid out it, and put the little girl, who was still unconscious, into the bed. He took out the tinder and lit the oil lamp......

The old man watched Yi Xing busy there, and did not speak to disturb him.

The sky was completely dark, the cold wind blew in through the broken temple door, and the dim oil lamp was blown bright and dark by the wind......

"Do you want to practice martial arts?" the old man asked.

Yi Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Yes, grandpa! “

The old man seemed to have made up his mind, took out a scroll and said, "Okay! Take this and practice it well, and if you succeed in your cultivation in the future, you must remember not to do anything wrong." If there is something in the future that he cannot decide, remember to think about today's events. Don't throw away your today's nature!"

"Grandpa, I won't forget!" Yi Xing took the scroll and promised.

"Okay, then from today onwards, you can study according to this scripture. When the old man heard Yi Xing's assurance, his face was very peaceful.

Yi Xing looked at the scroll in his hand, the scroll was yellow, and it looked very old.

Yi Xing couldn't help but be very grateful to his grandfather who raised him before, although his life was difficult, his grandfather still taught him to read and write. Holding the scriptures, Yi Xing was in a trance, thinking of the days when he and his grandfather depended on each other in the past, and the indescribable sadness in his heart.

After calming down, it was easy to open the scriptures. I saw the four words "Ling Tian Sword Sutra". There are five articles in the entire Sword Sutra, each of which has an opening preface, followed by a diagram of the meridians of the human body, describing the route of the true qi running in the meridians, and there are small notes below, explaining some precautions and cultivation experiences.

Fortunately, they can all understand it! Yi Xing is glad in his heart. This sword scripture is very easy to understand, with text and pictures.

After reading the first opening sentence, Yi Xing frowned. This sword scripture has pictures and texts, and it is very easy to understand, but the opening preface of this first article states the foundation of the first chapter of cultivation: opening up the sea of yang veins. That's not easy.

The old man had been paying attention to Yi Xing, and when he saw his embarrassed face, he knew that he had a problem. He asked, "You have never practiced, and no one has taught you, so tell me any problems!"

It is easy to listen to words, such as listening to fairy music. So he said that he didn't know what it was to open up the sea of yang veins.

After hearing this, the old man explained to Yi Xing: "This sword scripture was created by a generation of swordsmen, which is to mobilize the true qi in the cultivator's dantian, and urge the sword moves through the eight veins of the human body's strange meridians. It's also common sense that you don't have a practice and don't understand these things. He knew very well that the foundation of the Ling Tian Sword Sutra was in the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra, and unlike other exercises, the cultivation foundation of the Sword Sutra was the sea of yang veins, and the sea of yang veins was the Du vein. As an ordinary teenager, Yi Xing did not have any cultivation experience, so it was so difficult to get through the Du Pulse.

After a little thought, he asked Yi Xing: "You are terrible and hard-working, very bitter kind!"

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm afraid I can't protect the people I want to protect!" Yi Xing's expression was very firm.

"Okay, I'll help you open up the sea of yang veins. After speaking, the old man walked behind Yi Xing and pressed his hand on the spine in the middle of his vest to urge the true qi.

Yi Xing only felt a warm current coming from his back, flowing through his spine, spreading out, splitting into several streams, and flowing towards his mind and kidneys. The warm current flows through, which is very comfortable, and it is easy to feel that the originally blocked river channel has been dredged all of a sudden, and it is very pleasant. After a long time, Yi Xing felt the old man withdraw the hand that was pressing on his back.

"Now I have opened up the sea of yang veins for you, that is, the Du vein. You can refer to this book in the future. Although it is difficult to open other meridians, as long as you are not afraid of hardship and have today's work, it is not a big problem to think about it. The old man handed Yi Xing another scroll.

"I can't imagine that the 'Theory of Meridians' by the dignified medical immortal can be used as an enlightenment for you! It's really extravagant!" the old man smiled helplessly.

Yi Xing didn't know what the old man was talking about, but he just took the scroll and looked at the written text - "Theory of Meridians".
