Ding Qi took another stone and came to Tan Hanchuan's house and sat down. Tan Hanchuan spoke much more directly than Zhu Shanxian, and said, "Senior Brother Zhu has already taught you the secret transmission of the Qi Viewing Technique, has Teacher Ding understood it?"

Ding Qi: "I basically understand what I said, but it doesn't mean that I can." ”

Tan Hanchuan: "Of course, this is just a reference for you, your cultivation should also be your own contemplation of the body, and the same is true of the furnace ding technique I want to talk about." In fact, the Jianghu Fire Gate Furnace Ding Technique, among the eight secret arts, is the least like a secret tradition, but like a manifest tradition, because it is very close to Dan Dao, and there are many classics that introduce Dan Dao in public circulation.

Of course, Huomen also has other secret traditions, and even includes all kinds of indiscriminate methods, which I won't introduce to Teacher Ding, but only talk about the furnace and ding technique. The so-called furnace ding refers to the human body, the place where the soul dwells. According to the traditional saying, pay attention to refining and refining gas, refining gas and transforming gods, and refining gods to return to emptiness......

Teacher Ding already has a foundation, so he can regard it as a reference for a realm. The secret method that you have created is to directly cultivate the mind, to look at the human heart from the way of the world, and to view the great thousand from the human heart, which is actually very remarkable, almost like the Tao!

But now, Mr. Ding's foundation is not yet solid. It is precisely because your contemplation of the body is a direct cultivation of the mind that you still lack cultivation skills. Senior Brother Zhu's cultivation of Wangqi Technique started with cultivation of kung fu, and the cultivation of other secret techniques has more or less supporting cultivation kung fu to improve people's physique, otherwise they will not be able to bear the need to perform secret arts.

Teacher Ding, you saw Xiaojing Lake the day before yesterday, and then went to the gate of the hospital to look at it for a long time, did you feel physically tired or mentally tired?"

Ding Qi: "You don't say I really haven't noticed, but now that I think about it, I do feel this way." That night, I slept very deeply, and my head fell on the pillow. The next day, I seemed to feel very hungry and ate a lot. ”

Tan Hanchuan smiled: "You have a very good physique, and you haven't lost your form and spirit due to excessive use of secret methods, but the consumption of physical strength and energy is a bit large." ”

Ding Qi's physique is of course very good, and he has hardly been sick since he was a child. Last year, after a series of blows, Chinese New Year's Eve drank on the ground and spent the night, I am afraid that another person would have fallen ill long ago, but Ding Qi survived. He smiled bitterly: "My body is indeed good, but I can't compare with you." That time I went up the mountain to do surveying and mapping, I almost couldn't keep up. ”

Tan Hanchuan: "But you still keep up after all, it's not easy." In fact, the contemplation of the body that you pondered by yourself also included the method of cultivation, so your feelings were not very obvious, and you realized it after I reminded you.

But you haven't made a clear summary yet, so today I will combine the secret transmission of the furnace ding technique and teach you a set of cultivation methods that can be used in the contemplation of the body realm according to your situation. It's easiest for you to get started with cultivation because you're actually already getting started. ”

Tan Hanchuan himself did not get the secret transmission of the Tired Gate Body Observation Technique, and he was talking about Ding Qi's self-realization of the Body Observation Technique. According to his analysis, this is a direct meditation of the mind. Receiving the mind and mind into the inner view, and the body is self-contained heaven and earth, is the inner nourishment, rest assured that God is between heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are like my form of God, which is the external refining.

This set of methods for condensing divine qi can also be compared with the methods of qi cultivation and spiritual cultivation passed on by Zhu Shanxian, which is the most suitable for today's Ding Qi. If Ding Qi's "cultivation" is higher in the future, then he needs to summarize the corresponding cultivation method on the basis of the secret inheritance he created.

After listening, Ding Qi said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother Tan, you are my teacher!"

Tan Hanchuan waved his hand: "You're welcome, you are still our teacher!"

Ding Qi: "At first, I thought Senior Brother Tan was going to teach me martial arts, your kung fu is really amazing!"

Tan Hanchuan smiled bitterly: "I practice martial arts because my master practiced martial arts, so he taught me since I was a child." When I was a child, I practiced it in a daze, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to endure that hardship and that sin. It is always said that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, but this is not necessarily true.

Strength and reflexes are indeed trained, but they are not necessarily good for health. There used to be many martial artists, but in fact, their health was not good, and their lifespan was not long. Although there are many martial arts that are powerful, they are easy to leave all kinds of secret wounds, especially if they are always working with people, such as the easiest to hurt the lungs, so it is necessary to practice kung fu as an aid.

Now it is no longer the era of cold weapons, and the so-called martial arts self-defense, that is, it is okay to deal with a few little hooligans. In fact, if you really want to work with people, the secret art cultivation can be more useful. And the eight gates of the rivers and lakes routine, who you want to deal with often do not have to do it directly. ”

Ding Qi: "The Jianghu routine of the Eight Great Gates, I have already learned it for a while, and I am amazed! This Jingwen stone is given to Senior Brother Tan, I don't know what kind of advice I should give you, but I can tell you all the suggestions given to Ah Quan, Lao Zhu, and Xian Hao......

Tan Hanchuan took the stone and said, "Thank you, I know how to use it." Placing my heart and soul to practice, I thought of it when I saw Xiaojing Lake. ”

Ding Qi came out of Tan Hanchuan's house, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shang Ni standing at the door of the master bedroom and beckoning: "Teacher Ding, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Originally, I only heard Xian Hao say that she and Tan Hanchuan discussed with Zhu Shanxian that they wanted to tell Ding Qi the secret transmission of the Hidden Technique, the Wangqi Technique, and the Furnace Ding Technique respectively, but I didn't hear that Shang Ni also wanted to teach the Heart Disc Technique? But this little Nizi obviously knew the situation and took the initiative to greet Ding Qi.

Ding Qi came to Shang Ni's room and sat down, Shang Ni bowed her head a little embarrassed and said, "Teacher Ding, my Heart Disc Technique has just been cultivated, and I have not yet mastered it. At my level, even if I want to teach you, I can't teach you. ”

Ding Qi: "It's okay, you didn't accept me as a disciple, and Lao Tan didn't accept me as a disciple." ”

Shang Ni: "First, I haven't mastered it myself, and second, without my master's permission, I can't teach the secret of the Fengmen Heart Disc Technique to Master Ding now. But I can tell you all about the experience of performing the Heart Disc Technique and the experience of discovering the small realm lake. Actually, I got Mr. Ding's advice first, and then I found out about Xiaojing Lake's ......"

What Shang Ni is talking about is not how to practice the heart plate, but directly talks about how to operate the heart plate, what kind of experience it is when the heart plate is operated, and what kind of state people are in. Ding Qi did understand, and Shannie did not hide anything in this regard. But she didn't introduce the secret of cultivating the heart plate, and how to operate without the heart plate, just to make a reference for Ding Qi.

After listening, Ding Qi handed over a stone and said, "This is for you, can you use your heart plate on it?"

Shanny: "I've already talked to Ah Quan, and it's not like a heart disc technique, it's more like a microscopic technique. ”

Ding Qi: "Senior Brother Tan just talked to me about internal cultivation and external refining, heaven and earth can resemble the form of the gods, the form of the gods can be like the heaven and the earth, the big can see the small, the small see the big, a stone can be a mountain and a river, a mountain and a river can also be a stone. What you are looking for is to see the state of the Xiaojing Lake, the focus is not to operate the heart plate, but how to see the small realm lake with the help of the heart disk technique? I gave Ah Quan the same advice, this is the most important thing, don't forget what our purpose is. ”

Shanny: "I know what to do, I'll try it in the next few days." That, that...... Teacher Ding, if you summarize the secret transmission of the contemplation of the body, the magic is to be able to see the unknown in the world, can you teach it to me in the future?"

Ding Qi smiled: "Of course!"

Just after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the people who lived in this small building had already talked to Ding Qi alone and had also received the Jingwen stone he had gifted. Early the next morning, Ding Qi walked out of the backyard and walked through the bamboo forest into the mountains to "practice." Tan Hanchuan taught him the method of internal cultivation and external practice yesterday, which is actually what Ding Qi has been doing, but now it has been summarized more clearly and some tricks have been broken.

He is already very familiar with this mountain path, and he can walk freely almost with his eyes closed, practice inside and outside the walk, and wait until he comes to the lying cow stone, and meditate and nourish himself. Ding Qi also held a Jingwen stone in his hand, which was the largest of the nine stones. It's not that bigger is better, but smaller is more convenient, because this thing is to be carried around, and he gives it to others as much as possible.

Coincidentally, the shape of this stone is vaguely similar to the Lying Cow Stone, and Ding Qi feels more in his hand.

Coming back from the mountain, the six of them had breakfast together, Zhuang Mengzhou, Fan Yang, and Ye Xing had not yet arrived at this time, and there was nothing bad to say, and everyone exchanged their experiences in cultivating each other's secret arts. After the meal, everyone went to their rooms, closed the door and fought with a stone—all good things that Ding Qi did.

Shi Buquan agreed to help Monk Dingyun copy the scriptures, and Ding Qi also agreed to help Dingyun contact the library. He remembered this in his heart, and was just about to make a phone call after breakfast, but unexpectedly, Monk Dingyun had already taken the initiative to contact him. On many occasions, Dingyun's face is still very useful, such as this kind of thing, he has already contacted the library.

Ding Qi went downstairs to find Shi Buquan, and Shi Buquan also happened to come upstairs to greet him, and Monk Dingyun also contacted Shi Buquan just now. Shi Buquan then went out, and said that he didn't have to wait for him for dinner, he might or may not come back, and if it was completed, he would have tried to come back to live as soon as possible.

Zhuang Mengzhou was almost at lunchtime, and Ding Qi was about to go out. Zhuang Meng entered the door on Monday and wondered: "What's going on today? It's so quiet, it's like no one lives here." ”

Dingzi: "Everyone is in the house pondering stones. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Oh, I almost forgot about it...... Mr. Ding, are you going to work?"

Ding Qi: "Yes, I still have to work, I have an appointment this afternoon." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "When is Teacher Ding free?"

Ding Qi: "As for tomorrow afternoon, I'll free up the time at the hospital first." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon." ”

Shi Buquan didn't live in the apartment today, and rushed back before dinner, just went to the library to make contacts, and the work has not officially started. Of course, Ye Xing and Fan Yang also came over after work.

When they were having dinner, Fan Yang and Ye Xing felt a little weird and indescribable, as if the people at the table had become a little indecent or abnormal. Zhu Shanxian, Tan Hanchuan, Shi Buquan, Shang Ni, Xian Hao, and Ding Qi all ate with chopsticks in one hand, and did not hold the bowl in the other hand, but held a stone.

Seeing this, Fan Yang also took out the stone and ate with one hand. Ye Xing hesitated for a while, and simply did the same, to show his spirit of participation in the collective activities.

Among the nine people, only Xian Hao is left-handed, so she eats with her left hand and coils stones with her right hand. Ding Qi observed very carefully, the most special of the nine was Shi Buquan, he ate with his right hand for a while, and then changed to his left hand, and the stone fell back and forth in both hands.

Shi Buquan's left and right hands are as flexible, and ordinary people can't see the difference at all, and they can't tell whether he is left-handed or right-handed. Looking at Shi Buquan changing his hands and using chopsticks when he was eating, Ding Qi couldn't help but think of a question that this kid asked when chatting with everyone: "If you use two fingers to clip copper coins out of the oil pot, how many ways are there to clamp them?"

At that time, seeing that everyone was puzzled, the boy replied triumphantly: "There are twenty ways to clamp it, namely the thumb and index finger, the thumb and middle finger, the thumb and ring finger, the thumb and little finger, the index finger and the middle finger, the index finger and the ring finger, the index finger and the little finger, the middle finger and the ring finger, the middle finger and the little finger, the ring finger and the little finger. ”

Shanny: "That's ten!"

Shi Buquan: "You have to be able to use both left and right hands, isn't it twenty?"

Shanny: "You really took the copper coin out of the oil pot, and you can't fry the pig's trotters in your hands?"

Shi Buquan: "The old man is sometimes quite perverted, and he teaches me these anti-human things." But at the beginning, the oil pan was mixed with vinegar, and it was not too hot to boil, just a little hot. Later, the vinegar became less and less, and in the end it was pure oil, which was the real boiling oil pot! ”

Shanny: "That's not right, no matter how fast your hands are, if you don't get burned by oil, the copper coins will be hot!"

Shi Buquan explained: "Not only do you have to enter the oil pot quickly, but you also have to get out of the oil pot quickly. Put a bowl of water next to it, and put the copper coin clip out and put it in the bowl instantly, only to see the oil flower drifting...... After practicing this, the old man asked me to practice the cloud hand. ”

Shi Buquan actually practiced every finger of his hands to this extent, his master is indeed a pervert. If he were to be a petty thief and steal his wallet, he would be invincible! Fortunately, he didn't have this hobby, and there was no need for him......

Ding Qi was thinking about it in his heart, and suddenly heard Xian Hao whisper in his ear: "Ding Qi, what's wrong with you, why are you looking at Senior Brother Shi and smirking?"

Ye Xing joked: "Teacher Ding, why are you looking at Ah Quan with such an expression? I seriously doubt that you are straight or bent!"

Shang Ni also said: "Don't look at Ah Quan so obsessedly, is it the wrong person?

Xian Hao's face turned slightly red, and he glared at her, not knowing how to answer. Ding Qi hurriedly explained: "I was distracted just now, and when I saw Ah Quan's hands changing back and forth, and he could use chopsticks with his left and right hands, I remembered what he said about fishing copper coins in the oil pot." ”

Everyone laughed, and the laughter resolved Fang Cai's embarrassment. Tan Hanchuan said with a smile: "Ah Quan just talks a lot, and he says everything!"

Shi Buquan was interested, put down his chopsticks and said: "Speaking of fishing copper coins in the oil pot, I remembered a text I learned in middle school, and there is a story in it. In order to compete for the water source, the two villages gathered to set up an oil pot, and put ten copper coins in the pot, and representatives on both sides took turns to fish, and whoever fished out the water distributed the water in proportion.

I thought, if I were there, and I walked over and swished, swished, and all of them were fished out, the village across the street ......."

Zhu Shanxian intercepted the conversation and said: "You have to fight, you just wait to trigger a big fight among the villagers!"

The crowd burst into laughter again. Continuing to eat, Ding Qi was still inadvertently observing everyone's hands, in fact, he had already discovered it, and now it seemed to be a summary. Tan Hanchuan is not left-handed, he is also accustomed to his right hand, but his left hand is far more flexible than the usual hand of ordinary people, after all, he has also practiced the cloud hand, but he is not as perverted as Shi Buquan.

While eating, Ding Qi found that Zhuang Mengzhou had also changed to holding chopsticks in his left hand. Today's situation is a bit special, the other eight people are not drinking, only Zhuang Mengzhou is pouring himself drinks, and he is the only one who does not eat with a stone.

Zhuang Mengzhou is obviously not left-handed, and he doesn't seem very skilled when he changes his left hand to eat, but as he drinks, the chopsticks in his left hand are becoming more and more flexible. According to Ding Qi's summary of the state of drinking, almost after entering the stage of mental excitement, Zhuang Mengzhou's chopsticks in his left hand can be used freely, and even the slippery fried edamame is clamped steadily.

Ding Qi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhuang, why did you change hands?"

Zhuang Mengzhou put down his chopsticks and said: "I was about to say, you don't have to play with stones when you eat, it affects your appetite! That is, you have to hold stones, except for Ah Quan, you all use the wrong hands! Walking, sitting and lying, Chang De is not careful, which hand should be used to hold the stone? Of course, it is the dominant hand!"

This makes sense, Zhu Shanxian took the lead in changing the stone to his right hand, and everyone else changed it one after another. A table of people except for the stone is not complete, and they all eat with chopsticks in their backhands. Shi Buquan, Tan Hanchuan, and Zhuang Mengzhou are okay, and the others feel more or less awkward, but on the other hand, they feel much more comfortable holding the stone.

Shang Ni suddenly said, "Ah Quan, I also want to practice cloud hand." ”

Shi Buquan: "I've taught you all the tricks, you can practice more by yourself, I'm not there these days, you can also ask Senior Brother Tan for more advice...... But you don't want to set up a pan to catch coins, that's too dangerous! Just practice the small rack of cloud strength empty-handed, which is similar to playing tai chi. Senior Brother Tan is better at this than me, after all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. ”

Anyway, the meal was a bit strange from start to finish, at least for the first time everyone in the room had experienced such a scene. After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms with stones, and the small building soon became quiet. Seeing this, Fan Yang also took his stone to the pavilion in the backyard, and only Ding Qi and Ye Xing were left in the living room.

Ye Xing said with some complaints: "Teacher Ding, it's all a good thing you did, using a stone to make everyone look like a nervous disorder." ”

Ding Qi smiled: "It's okay, don't forget that I'm still a psychiatrist." I got it, and I'm in charge of it. If Mr. Ye is fine, he will wash the dishes with me, he will have to find some work to do, and he can do whatever he can!"

Early the next morning, Ah Quan went out to the library. Zhuang Mengzhou came for lunch, and after lunch, he greeted Ding Qi and said, "Teacher Ding, are you ready?"

Dingzi: "It was ready yesterday. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Then let's go out for a walk." ”
