Chapter 28: The Inheritance of the Mysterious Qi Refiner
Get a good night's sleep, get up in the morning to wash your face and brush your teeth, and then go out refreshed. Today, Li Ya has to continue the unfinished business of yesterday.
Yesterday's happy transaction was not only satisfactory to Li Ya, but also to many housewives. Knowing that Li Ya was coming the next day, he notified his relatives and friends overnight, and came over early the next day to wait. As soon as Li Ya appeared at the mouth of the alley, the first one on the side immediately opened the door and let Li Ya in.
Li Ya took a look, more than a dozen aunts and grandmothers were in the yard, and the aunt who made the first deal with Li Ya yesterday said: "Little comrade, let's talk about what you want first, and then see what everyone wants, how much." ”
After a lot of inspection, there was almost no need to bargain, and after counting the goods traded, Li Ya brought things in six or seven times to complete the transaction. Then the next one, and then the next one, Li Ya is like a hard-working little bee, constantly going back and forth.
After running through the yard where he had traded yesterday, Li Ya found that he had little goods left. The main reason is that Li Ya knows the future value of these antiques, so the appraisals are tens or hundreds, and there are a few things that Li Ya does not have enough money in his hands, and finally quietly negotiated, and finally the other party agreed to settle in US dollars before getting it.
Since there was nothing to change, Li Ya also gave up, and he had to wait until the crops in the space were ripe before he could continue.
Stepping back into the dorm room after the sunset, there was still no roommate coming. Li Ya ate a good meal in the space just like last night, rested for a while and began to sort out the harvest of the two days, which was used to decorate the house, and the excess was placed in a room.
When sorting out the collection box, Li Ya accidentally found a plain box with a mezzanine, found the mechanism button, opened it, and there was a pile of special paper inside, and there were dense and clear traditional Chinese characters on the paper.
took it out and looked at it, and the first thing that caught my eye was three big words - Qi Refining Technique. Li Ya's heart suddenly changed, hmm, what is the Qi Refining Formula? What Mi Dongdong? Looking carefully, the entire Qi Refining Recipe is only a few hundred words, and the two sides of a piece of paper are not full, and the back pile is the cultivation experience of the person who wrote the Qi Refining Technique, and some legends about what the Qi Refiner has seen.
Li Ya doesn't know some traditional Chinese characters, and the qi refining recipe and cultivation experience can only be read in general terms, so let's first look at the part about the legends of the qi refiner.
According to the inside, the origin of qi refining is too early to be examined, and the number of qi refiners is also quite a lot, and by the time of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the qi refiners were inevitably involved in the whirlpool of hegemony, the number decreased, and finally disappeared into the mountains and forests. By the time the Qin State was unified, there were even fewer people who could really be called Qi Refiners. By the time the writer Shen Yi lived in the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties, he knew only a few dozen people.
The reason why Li Ya was able to see these was because Shen Yi decided to go to the army of the Jin Kingdom to assassinate the general of the unified army, knowing that there was no reason to survive this trip, so he left it for future generations.
After seeing Li Ya and thinking about it, the history he knew was just scratching the surface, and he didn't know whether he succeeded or not, but due to the desperate resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin State was finally unable to fight, and the two countries coexisted for dozens of hundreds of years, and finally they were destroyed by the Mongols.
Li Ya's wishful thinking must have been that Shen Yi must have made trouble in the Jin army camp, killing countless people and returning home with a great victory. His mysterious and unpredictable terrifying lethality frightened the courage of the Jin people, and finally caused the Jin State to strike the war and the Southern Song Dynasty to continue. Imagining Shen Yi's majestic appearance, and then thinking about countless myths and legends, Li Ya is infinitely obscene.
I don't know how long it took, Li Ya came back to his senses, and he didn't feel funny that he was dreaming. Judging from the Qi Refining Technique and Shen Yi's cultivation experience, there is no mana magic weapon, all kinds of changes, and there is no immortality. It's just similar to the internal strength in martial arts novels, maybe the statement about internal strength in martial arts novels doesn't come out of thin air. However, according to what I have seen and heard in the later part, it is certain that it can delay aging and prolong life.
According to Li Ya's understanding of the Qi Refining Technique, this set of Qi Refining Techniques absorbs the starlight cultivation because the starlight contains an unknown substance, and this substance can not only improve the body, but also have a magical effect on the energy released. Qi refining is a set of methods for extracting this substance and storing it. Since there was still very little of this substance in the starlight compared to all things in nature, it was still very little, so the previous Qi Refiners could not feel it, and everything seemed to be imaginary. It is inferred that sunlight must contain more of this substance, but the other substances and energy in sunlight are relatively chaotic and strong, which is very harmful to qi refiners, and is not as pure as starlight. If the physique is strong enough, it will definitely absorb this substance from the sunlight faster.
As soon as he understood it simply, Li Ya couldn't wait to dig out the big dictionary and began to search for the traditional Chinese characters he didn't know.
After all the words were translated into simplified Chinese, Li Ya looked at the text full of words without punctuation marks, but fortunately, the original author made it easier for future generations to understand, did not pay attention to literary rhetoric, and tried to be as flat and straightforward as possible. It didn't take long to add punctuation marks so it was easy to read.
According to the steps of Qi refining, first of all, it is also breathing and exhaling, by adjusting the rhythm and frequency of breathing, meditating and observing the qi in the starlight around the body, and then intaking it into the body through breathing, nourishing the body and cultivating the sense of qi. According to Shen Yi's experience, it generally takes three or five years to succeed, and the younger the better, if a person with the same qualifications starts at the age of five, he may not need it for two years, and after the age of ten, he may not be able to succeed in five years; after adulthood, he is almost unable to succeed, and even if he succeeds, his achievements are limited, which is equivalent to an ordinary person with superior physical conditions. The younger the age, the less impurities in the body, the stronger the plasticity growth, although there is no adult understanding ability and mature mentality, but due to the superior physical conditions, the mind is simple and single-minded, but faster. Even if they have strong comprehension ability and qualitative ability in adulthood, it will take several times longer for them to contain too many impurities and stereotyped physiques, and then they will have to endure the painful torture of body remodeling for a long time.
Li Ya didn't know what his qualifications were, but now that he had such an opportunity in front of him, even if it took several times more time, he had to try to endure inhuman torture.
After cultivating the sense of qi, open up the lungs to the meridians of the qi sea, and expand the qi sea to store qi. And people have to inhale and exhale, which is a waste of time, and the amount of qi obtained through breathing is very scarce. And in order to get more qi, you need to use the qi stored at this time to open the meridians between the sea of qi and the Baihui acupoints on the top of your head, and you can ingest a large amount of qi through the Baihui acupoints, which greatly accelerates your cultivation speed and is no longer restricted by breathing.
The speed of cultivation increases, and the sea of qi will expand due to the increase of qi, and the meridians can be opened faster. Opening up the meridians can not only improve the physical fitness, but also use qi. Just like in martial arts novels, internal and external skills are the use of power, while internal skills and swordsmanship are the use of this power. If the gas obtained from gas refining is diesel and gasoline, then the human body is more like a machine, the sea of gas is the fuel tank, the meridians are the oil pipes, and the acupuncture points at the end of the meridians are equivalent to the combustion chamber, which consumes gas to produce energy and provide kinetic energy.
Of course, refining qi is not so simple, not only do you need to learn the meridians of the human body, but you also need to be able to stand the boredom. After all, every progress requires several years or even decades of accumulation, so if you want to practice to a high depth, mind cultivation is essential, and the deeper you go, the more important your mind cultivation is. It sounds very mysterious, but in fact, just like the party commanding the gun and the mind directing the action, if the mood is unstable, you can't stand the boring and lonely cultivation, and you can't make progress anymore, and you don't even spend a long time polishing (purifying) the internal qi, which makes the internal qi impurities in the sea of qi too much, the difficulty of control increases, and finally it can't be controlled, and the internal qi riots destroy the body, just like going crazy in martial arts.
Li Ya studied traditional Chinese medicine and understood the meridians, the first step was to identify the meridians, and then the technique of breathing and breathing, changing the way of breathing, breathing according to the breathing technique, and the body was relaxed, naturally, the whole body was comfortable, and at the same time meditated. This step requires the body to stand instead of meditating cross-legged.
Li Ya tried for a long time, but he didn't feel anything, but thinking that it would take three or five years for other Qi refining geniuses to develop a sense of qi, he didn't rush to be disappointed, and he cleaned up and went to sleep.
He didn't know that what Shen Yi got was also a fragment, the so-called Qi Sea Meridians, etc., were all imagined by himself, and he himself did not succeed.
