"You're tired from penance these days, let's take a break and have fun. Li Bangcang said, "The combination of work and rest can keep the mood high and the fighting spirit high." ”

"What kind of entertainment method?" Zhang Jiabao was immediately interested when he heard that he had to play.

"Playing with mud. ”

Li Bangcang asked Zhang Jiabao to dig up the half-wet soil from the edge of the waterhole and make a clay sculpture according to his appearance and body shape.

"It doesn't matter if you're ugly, but you have to have hands and feet, all your facial features, and your limbs are proportionally proportioned, close to reality. ”

It's not easy. Zhang Jiabao originally wanted to do it vertically, but the two mud legs fell apart before they reached the knees. Switching to lying down was not very smooth. If the soil is too dry or wet, or if there is gravel in it, it can cause a freshly pinched nose to crack or a freshly pinched ear to fall off. The hardest part to do is the part of the soles of the feet, which is difficult to grasp, and the five toes are almost glued together, looking like a pig's trotters.

Pinched the part of the "big black bird", Li Bangcang said: "You don't need to pinch it carefully, just put a ball of mud to represent it." ”

After working for a long time, Zhang Jiabao used his fireball to roast the limb connection of the clay sculpture to set it.

"Alright, game over. I retracted my mind and began to listen carefully. The two squatted, and Li Bangcang used clay sculptures as a model to explain the study of meridians to Zhang Jiabao.

"The ancients looked at the world on the outside, and looked at their own body inside, and they began to cultivate the truth. When the sky is good, the land is favorable, and the harmony can make this mortal fetal flesh and body cultivation have divine power and add longevity. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the cause of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and it is difficult to take the road of cultivating the truth. The ancestors created the study of the meridians, through yin and yang, and should be heaven and earth, this treasure of the Chinese nation, along the ancient times to the present, is the key doctrine for cultivating the truth. ”

"In the meridians of the human body, the twelve canons are the main ones, and the two veins are the main ones. The hands and feet are each connected to the three yin and three yang meridians, which are the twelve canons. The main blood of the Ren vein, located in the middle of the ventral surface, is the sea of the yin vein, and the main qi of the Du vein, located in the middle of the back, is the sea of the yang vein. The two veins converge in the mouth and jaw, and are divided into acupoints on the lips and nose and under the human middle point. The ancient farmer said, 'Face the loess and turn the back to the sky', and have clearly understood the meaning of yin and yang on the back of the abdomen. ”

"With this 'pro' word formula, the thumbs of both hands are against each other, the index fingers are opposite, and the remaining fingers are bent and hidden on top of each other, which is really intrinsically wonderful. The index finger Shangyang acupoint is the beginning of the large intestine meridian of the hand Yangming. This meridian is left and right into a pair, handed over to the person, meridian qi in the nose wing Yingxiang acupoint and the foot Yang Ming stomach meridian connection, and with the Du pulse in the back of the neck of the large vertebral point meeting, so it is the meridian of the yang energy is extremely prosperous. ”

"The thumb Shaoshang acupoint is the end of the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. The lung meridian has a series of missing points in the wrist, and the Luo acupoint is the valley acupoint of the tiger's mouth. The Hegu acupoint is located in the large intestine meridian, so the word "Lin" is a handprint, the resonance of the two meridians can awaken the limbs and hundreds of remains, supplemented by the method of the meridians, can smooth the qi and blood of the whole body's internal organs, balance yin and yang, and show extraordinary power. When the junior and younger brother knotted the word 'Lin', the two thumbs must be sideways, so that the left and right Shaoshang points are similar. ”

"Those who cultivate the truth, in the realm of the lotus of life, auxiliary movement to static, the essence of the acquired from the soles of the feet to the spring acupoint into the body, in the umbilicus Guan Yuan acupoint into the lower dantian, the lotus of the essence base; in the realm of the moon to supplement the static to move, the acquired flower from the top of the head Baihui acupoint infusion, in the eyebrows between the Yin Tang acupoint into the dantian, the lotus of the god base; These three realms are the foundation of cultivation, and the Three Treasures echo each other from afar. ”

"The quality of the qi base is mainly determined by the essence base, and the relationship between the essence and qi is like a fire, the more firewood, the more vigorous the fire. If the essence base is a second-grade grade, even if the divine base has eight grades, it is difficult to form a gas base above the second grade. The comprehensive grade of the Three Treasures of the Spirit and Spirit largely determined the strength of the Dragon Seeking Realm cultivators. ”

"Looking for the dragon, for the sake of the strong and not the weak. Dragons are the most powerful creatures and have no weaknesses. The Dragon Seeking Realm monk is dedicated to Jackie Chan's heart, expanding the qi base of the first formation like a small pond into rivers and seas, so that the qi can be used to leave the body and strike through the air, and also refine the subtle ends of the hundred veins, so that the internal qi can come out of every pore and turn into a protective body. How to get to this realm, the bottleneck lies in the hands. The ten fingers and ten Xuan points are the windows, and the palm Lao Gong points are the doors, all of which are the channels of the human body's strength. When you break through this acupuncture point pass, you can reverse the innate qi for the acquired qi, and use it as a sharp weapon to replace the flesh and cut it, which is better than ordinary martial artists. ”

"What realm is that senior brother?" Zhang Jiabao suddenly interjected.

"Looking for the dragon realm, the essence base and the god base are all nine products, but the qi base is eight products. Li Bangcang said. He could have been able to make the Three Treasures perfect, but when he was fifteen years old, the new leader of the Dragon and Tiger Sect took office and gave him a Qi Gathering Pill to take when he advanced to the realm. Who knew that there was something wrong with this pill, which made his Qi-based lotus lose a leaf. This became a pity. The master was angry, so he took him to a small sub-temple and became an ordinary disciple, and no longer asked about the affairs of the sect.

A person who cultivates the truth is still an ordinary man who eats whole grains, and no matter how talented he is, he also needs a panacea to wash away the impurities in his body. The higher the realm, the higher the level of the pill required, and some precious Heaven and Earth Spirit Strains, rare Treasure Pills can even improve people's qualifications in different aspects.

"Oh, then when will I reach the Dragon Seeking Realm?" Zhang Jiabao asked. When he arrives at the Dragon Hunting Realm, he will be as strong as his senior brother, right?

"It's hard to say, the cultivation speed varies from person to person. Some people with high talent and precocious body and mind can achieve the Dragon Seeking Realm at the age of eighteen or nineteen, while some people with mediocre qualifications are still wandering in the womb realm at the age of thirty. ”

"At what age did the senior brother cultivate to the Dragon Seeking Realm?"

"Seventeen years old, twenty-six years old. Li Bangcang said lightly.

Zhang Jiabao was a little speechless. He was twelve years old before he began to learn the truth.

Li Bangcang saw his thoughts and said, "You don't need to worry. Good students systematically learn the study of the meridians, and the research of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, which is based on the theory of yin and yang, is also authoritative. After you go out, find the master, and think that his old man has a wonderful method to increase your cultivation speed. ”

......

In the following days, Zhang Jiabao followed Li Bangcang wholeheartedly to study. When you are tired of practicing the basic skills, you will practice the method of practicing the meridians, and for six hours a day, you will practice alternately between civil and military.

Li Bangcang also taught Zhang Jiabao a set of sixty Jiazi seals, which were taught by the master, and were not the art of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. According to the true people themselves, this set of seals has supreme power, allowing people below the True Realm who have not awakened the power of the five elements of yin and yang to cast magical powers such as ice, fire, thunder and lightning. If you master them all, you can compete with the top magicians in the West.

Wulai Zhenren also said that in ancient times, the three thousand avenues were all one, and all kinds of spells were not separated. It's just that in ancient times, the ninth turn into an immortal path could only go to the fourth turn, and the cultivators took prolonging life as their primary pursuit, so another important treasure in the human body, the cultivation method of the Purple Mansion, was abandoned. Although the Westerners were late in civilization and did not know how to cultivate the truth, they awakened a cultivation method similar to the Purple Mansion, which they called magic. Now the west is strong and the east is weak, because magic has more ability to transform nature than Xiuzhen.

However, these 60 Jiazi seals have extremely high requirements for practitioners, and the minimum threshold for the Three Jewels to reach the eight grades. If Zhang Jiabao can't meet this requirement in the future, it will be useless to learn. To fully grasp it, it is also extremely difficult, Li Bangcang studied under the abyss for five years, and only then did he comprehend a little bit of the skin.

Learning so many things consumes mind and physical strength, and Zhang Jiabao has to eat the beast meat at the bottom of the abyss no matter how unwilling he is. There are two kinds of creatures in the vicinity of them, one is the most smelly animal like a rat in armor, which feeds on insects and toads. The other is a strange-looking fish that lives in the mire, let's call it a sucker fish, because its mouth is like a disc, and it lives by sucking humus.

Li Bangcang said that there may be many places in this abyss that are connected to the underground world, otherwise it would be impossible for creatures to be derived from the earthquake to the time he was trapped in the abyss.

The bottom of the abyss receives negligible amounts of sunlight, and there are no tall trees, just shady, low bushes and ferns. There are no patches of meadow, and it is impossible to see a sheep or a cow.

With the exception of the Armored Rats and Sucker Fish, it is rare to see any other species of creatures that do not have an appetite. The sucker fish is slippery and timid, and once it is caught, it hides in the mud for half a day without coming up. And it is small, the taste is deflated, chewing like wax, and each person eats two before feeling half full. After the two ate a few times, the sucker fish was removed from the recipe, and Zhang Jiabao obediently followed Li Bangcang to fight the armor rat.

Li Bangcang has survived in the abyss for many years, and he has long had experience in fighting rats. Now that I have a thousand pairs of toothsticks, it is even more powerful. Finding a cave suspected of being inhabited by armored rats, Li Bangcang asked Zhang Jiabao to burn firewood at the entrance of the cave and set it on fire, while he found another cave entrance and guarded it on the side. Holding the tooth stick like a mace, I saw the thief light poking out from the eyes of the rat's head, and went down with a stick, knocking on a target.

Li Bangcang is responsible for dehairing and peeling, and Zhang Jiabao is responsible for roasting. Zhang Jiabao's mind was active, and asked Li Bangcang not to open the chest cavity of the armored rat too much, and find some plants to stuff into it and roast them together. Mushrooms, grass roots, mugwort, wild vegetables, leaves and many other kinds have been tested, and the two of them have tasted the sweet and sour, bitter and bitter, and finally concocted a very delicious taste. So Li Bangcang lived the most blessed life in five years.

When they were tired of eating meat, they ate the pearly berries that grew from the dwarf bushes, and the two of them even nibbled on many kinds of leaves. I don't know if the wild fruit is toxic or the stomach can't digest it, Zhang Jiabao often has diarrhea, and Li Bangcang may have a strong constitution or get used to it. There is no straw paper, Zhang Jiabao has to bring a few leaves or dig a handful of grass every time he poops, and after wiping his buttocks, he has to find a place to bury it, so as not to be eaten by the two of them as wild vegetables. Zhang Jiabao also goes to the waterhole to take a bath every day, otherwise he always feels sticky.

In their spare time, before going to bed, the two always talk about their past. Knowing that Zhang Jiabao was washed down the abyss by the waterfall because of his grievances with his uncle, Li Bangcang sighed and was amazed by the master's divine calculation.

Although their lives are simple, the two of them live a fulfilling life. During this period, although Zhang Jiabao's clothes were well maintained, they still couldn't withstand the erosion of the abyssal moisture and had long been rotten. So Zhang Jiabao simply threw away the rags on his body and smeared a layer of mud on his body like Li Bangcang.

Half a year later, Zhang Jiabao's cultivation was fruitful. He didn't grow tall, still less than one meter four, and the thousand patterns didn't make any changes in his body, but he could feel it himself, and his strength seemed to be inexhaustible, and his strength became stronger, and when he ran, he looked like a little leopard.
