Chapter 106: Apprenticeship
"Don't talk!"
The old man's voice came low and clear: "Feel it well, what are the sounds in this forest?"
Qin Luo was stunned, what did he mean by this? What other sound could there be in the forest besides the two of us? But soon he understood, and the chirping of insects came from around the old man again, one after another, as if the old man did not exist at all.
On the other hand, Qin Luo's side was quiet, and there was no movement.
Could it be that he wants me to blend in with nature?
Qin Luo took a deep breath, slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became weaker and inaudible. Not long after, a cricket cricketed beside him, and then all kinds of insect chirps came as if they were right next to him.
I don't know how long it took, Qin Luo suddenly woke up from that state of seeming to be asleep but not sleeping, and seemed to be awake but not awake, and found that the sky was already dawning, and the moment he woke up, the insects around him disappeared in an instant and became silent.
It's so acute, even I know when I wake up.
"Awake?" came the old man's voice.
Qin Luo hurriedly stood up: "Master." ”
The old man turned around and said in a deep voice: "Tai Chi, the cultivation is the mind, the practice is the body, if you want to learn the essence of Tai Chi, you must first integrate into nature and reach the realm of comprehensive and subtle views, which can be regarded as the real entry." ”
"Tell me, what insects are you hearing, can you find out where they are?"
"Uh...... If the disciple is stupid, he knows that there are crickets, as for the location...... I don't know. Qin Luo lowered his head in shame. The black lights are blinding, and the crickets are flickering far and near, making it really difficult to capture the exact location.
The old man didn't blame him, and said lightly: "Tai Chi, the emphasis is on overcoming rigidity with softness, and the key to it is to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, so that we can strike later and win all battles." So, feeling is more important than eyesight, because by the time you see it, you may already be a dead person. ”
As he spoke, the old man took out a torn yellowed ancient book and handed it to Qin Luo: "Give you an hour, if you can't comprehend it, you can go back." ”
I go, and there are still trials?
Qin Luo grabbed the ancient book and couldn't wait to open it, and saw that there were only a few pieces of paper in the ancient book, two of which were portraits, although they were just a few simple strokes, but they interpreted a person's movements vividly.
In the first picture, the man is walking, and the acupuncture points are marked with a red pen on his body, and a black line runs through these acupuncture points from the bottom to the top of the left foot, and travels through the body for a week, and then discharges from the center of the right foot.
In the second picture, on the contrary, the person is lying flat on the ground, and the arrow enters from the Baihui acupoint above his head, swims around his body, and then discharges from the Baihui acupoint above his head.
After watching it for a long time, Qin Luo didn't know the essentials, he could learn it with this thing alone, and it was too pitiful.
Flipping back further, it is written the general outline of Taijiquan, and the detailed annotations of the twenty-four styles, but other than that, there is nothing.
Qin Luo glanced up at the old man and saw that he was already playing Tai Chi alone in the open space not far away, without teaching him at all, and not even hinting at it.
Rub, what kind of master is this? It's too irresponsible.
Forget it, you have to rely on yourself.
"Sadly, can you understand?" Qin Luo asked in his heart.
The next moment, an exclamation came: "Where did you get the cultivation method?"
Qin Luo became excited: "This is a true cultivation method, can you understand it?"
"Of course, don't look at who I am?" Xiao Xiao pointed to the image of meditation, "This is a water attribute, I just glanced at it, and the aura in my body automatically operated." It's amazing, what kind of exercise is this?"
"I don't know, what about this?" Qin Luo was even more excited, and even said that he was amazing, so if he learned it, wouldn't he be invincible in the world?
Xiao Xiao looked at it carefully for a long time, frowned, and said: "What a strange exercise, the acupuncture points and running routes of these two images are exactly the same, but they are one positive and one negative, what's going on?"
Qin Luo hurriedly said: "Don't think about this first, quickly teach me how to practice, after more than an hour, the old man will take back this secret book." ”
"Oh, then you do as I say now. ”
Under the guidance of the young man, Qin Luo put down the cheats in his hand and sat down cross-legged. Soon, he felt a cool and silky air flow pouring from the Baihui acupoint above his head, breaking through his meridians little by little, following the route in the image, slowly running downward.
This process was similar to cutting meat with a blunt knife, and he only lasted half a minute before he couldn't stand it.
"No, I can't stand it. ”
"Hold on, just grit your teeth and get through, the benefits are definitely beyond your imagination. ”
After another two minutes, Qin Luo was about to cry: "Young, you spare me, I really can't do it." ”
"How can a man say that he can't do it? Do you still want Lin Shiyin to stand up? Let me tell you, after learning this set of cultivation exercises, you can make her stand up and never relapse. ”
For the sake of Shiyin's wife, I endure!
The old man had stopped boxing for a long time, and came to Qin Luo in shock, his face full of disbelief. He just asked Qin Luo to give it a try, he didn't think that he could practice at all, but Qin Luo didn't know how to practice, so he actually practiced it.
Damn, how did this kid practice?
The old man became excited, he really picked up the treasure this time.
An hour passed in an instant, and when the cool and silky airflow in his body returned to the Baihui acupoint above his head again, Qin Luo even heard a soft sound of 'snort', as if the bicycle tire was flat.
But then, suddenly, he stood up and walked around the clearing. The old man, who originally wanted to talk to him, seemed to have had a stroke, his mouth was open, and he looked at Qin Luo sluggishly, his hands trembling.
What's more, he didn't practice one, but two.
How is this possible? Could it be that he is a genius that has not been seen in a century?
And this scene, she was stunned, she didn't know what was going on, obviously the operation of a week had ended, but why did she suddenly reverse the operation?
Under normal circumstances, the reversal of the exercise is to go mad, but Qin Luo did not show signs of going mad, but was full of energy, and walked faster and faster.
After about half an hour, Qin Luo finally stopped, opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and said comfortably: "It's really comfortable...... Ahh
The old man was standing in front of him, his eyes were almost close to him, which startled Qin Luo, and hurriedly took two steps back, protecting his chest: "Master, what are you doing......?" I don't like men. ”
"Roll the calves!"
The old man scolded, dragged Qin Luo over, and shook his shoulder excitedly: "Tell me quickly, how did you make it?" ”
"Master, master, don't get excited, calm down, calm down!" Under Qin Luo's reassurance, the old man finally calmed down.
Qin Luo smiled bitterly: "You asked me how I learned it, in fact, I don't know, but after reading it once, I felt a cool air flow pouring in from the top of my head, and then I didn't know anything." ”
"Hold your hand out. ”
Qin Luo obediently stretched out his hand, was grabbed by the old man, and after checking the pulse for a while, the old man suddenly became excited: "There is a ......"
"Master, don't scare me, I'm a man. Qin Luo was startled and hurriedly withdrew his hand. I really want to reply to him, you have it. Disrespectful for the old!
The old man glared at him: "What do you know, I'm talking about true qi, innate true qi." What's the deal, even I don't have it, you kid is still in the blessing and don't know the blessing, I want to take a knife and dissect you to study and study it. ”
Under Qin Luo's modest inquiry, he learned that true qi, which is commonly referred to as internal strength, is also divided into two types: innate and acquired. The old man's cultivation is the acquired true qi, and the acquired true qi needs to reach a certain realm before it can be transformed into innate true qi.
But Qin Luo had just cultivated, and what he had cultivated turned out to be innate true qi, which was directly one level higher than the old man, could he not be excited, could he not be jealous?
To put it simply, true qi is equivalent to high-voltage electricity, the acquired true qi is 220V, and the innate true qi is 10000V, both of which output one kilowatt-hour of electricity at the same time, but the effect is absolutely different.
"Alas, I think back then, my master asked me to hold this secret book and study it for three days and three nights, but I still didn't know the essentials, and I had no choice but to change my internal skills. ”
The old man sighed: "I knew that this secret book could cultivate innate true qi, I would rather hold on to it for three years than wait." It's a pity, it's a pity!"
"Okay, you didn't learn, but you took in an apprentice who is better than blue. When I break into the hall, your old man's face will also shine. Qin Luo patted the old man's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, master." ”
"Neither big nor small, kneel!" the old man scolded.
"Plop!" Qin Luo knelt down without hesitation, bang, bang, kowtow three times in a row, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
"Who told you to kowtow?"
The old man snorted, opened a cloth bag thrown under the tree, pulled out a yellowed scroll from it, opened it, and came to Qin Luo.
"Okay, now kowtow to the portrait of Master Zu. ”
Qin Luo is depressed, the portrait is in your hand, I will kowtow to the portrait, what is the difference between kowtowing to you?
"Bang bang bang!"
Qin Luo kowtowed three more times, and was about to stand up, but was held down by the old man with his hand: "Don't worry, since you have entered my door, you should also know the identity of the teacher." My name is Chen Wouji, and I am the seventy-sixth generation descendant of Wudang. ”
"This portrait is the head of our Wudang, the head of Sanfeng Dao, and our grandfather. From now on, you are the seventy-seventh generation of my Wudang heir, and this painting and this secret book will be handed over to you from today on. ”
The old man Chen Wuji solemnly handed over the portrait and cheats to Qin Luo, and said with a straight face: "Remember, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and you only have to fight for it sooner rather than later." Being a teacher doesn't require you to accumulate virtue and do good, but you must not do evil, otherwise, God will not let you go, you know?"
"Master rest assured, disciples must remember the master's teachings. Qin Luo said solemnly.
Chen Wuji nodded and helped Qin Luo up: "This secret book was passed down to me by my master, and I don't know how many generations it has been passed on." As far as I know, no one has practiced it except you. But you have to remember that the husband is innocent and guilty, and once the innate true qi in your body is exposed, it will definitely cause you endless trouble. So, don't expose it until you have to. ”
"Well, I got it, master. ”
Chen Wuji turned his back and said lightly: "You and I will say goodbye to my master and apprentice today, and I don't know if there will be a day to see each other again." Do it yourself!"
"Master!" Qin Luo was startled and hurriedly chased after him, but after Chen Wuji finished speaking, the two ups and downs had disappeared without a trace, leaving Qin Luo alone standing in the empty woods, holding the picture scroll and the yellowed ancient book in his hand.
