Chapter 3 Learning and Art I

Sichuan Emei

There is also a mountain more than 100 miles away from the main peak of Mount Emei, which is a little shorter than the main peak, but the mountain is more beautiful and sinister. It is good for ordinary people to go up to the mountainside, even the best hunters in Mount Emei have never been to the peak, because the mountain above the mountainside is too steep, it looks like seventy or eighty degrees, and it is covered with primeval forest, and there is no road at all. At night the mountain was full of the howls of wild beasts, and there was a lot of poison. For the sake of their own lives, basically no one dared to go up.

On the top of the mountain, there is a small flat land, but at this time there is a child there to practice boxing, only to see the fist like the wind, the fist is like a loose, all the way Luohan boxing is in one go.

Yes, this is Xiao Siqi, he is eight years old this year, and he has been here for more than four years.

When he first came, the monk Lifan found him a big vat, set up a fire below, collected various medicinal materials on the mountain every day and put them into the jar, added a certain proportion of water, and then put Xiao Siqi in it to boil the water. There are a total of eighty-two kinds of medicine in a cylinder, at least 200 catties of medicinal materials in terms of weight, and then you have to boil for seven days at a time and then change the medicinal materials and water, and you have to acupuncture and moxibustion and the true qi massage of Fan every night, so that after boiling for 7749 days, the red scorpion and scorpion pede poison on our Xiao Siqi body will be cleared and quiet, and at the same time, there are also various tonic medicines in the medicine, and the body is stronger, which also lays a solid foundation for his future learning.

After the poison was cleared, Xiao Siqi's homework began to increase, meditating for two hours in the morning and evening every day, and practicing Master Fan's "Yijin Yiyuan Gong", which was a secret book "Mixed Yuan One Qigong" obtained by Fan in an unknown stone cave when passing by Huashan 20 years ago. At that time, I thought that I had another martial arts secret, who knew that this was a Taoist book at all, focusing on the qi of heaven and earth, reaching the natural realm, although the skill was not enhanced, but people's perception was much stronger, although people and things dozens of meters away could not be seen with their own eyes, but they could perceive that people seemed to be a radar. It took 20 years to integrate Shaolin's "Yijin Jing" and "Mixed Yuan One Qigong" into one, creating this set of "Yi Jin One Yuan Gong", and with the strengthening of internal force layer by layer when practicing, the range of perception is also getting larger and larger.

There are a total of ten layers of this "Mixed Yuan One Qigong", the first layer can perceive a centimeter of distance, and the distance of perception will increase tenfold for each additional layer in the future.

In the morning, it is basically meditation and boxing, because this is the foundation; in the afternoon, it is basically cultural content, and he wants to train a peerless disciple to come out, so he gets a lot of books, basically three categories: Buddhist scriptures, which he himself is a monk, and he has read a lot and can get a lot, what "Diamond Sutra", "Heart Sutra", "Lengyan Sutra" and other hundreds of books; medical books: such as "Chinese Materia Medica", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Secrets", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", "Meridians and Yu Acupoints", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Compendium of Materia Medica" There are also dozens of books, which are what Xiao Siqi is most interested in; ancient books: what are the four books and five classics, Tang and Song poems, and all kinds of great works, he has got them all in his ancient brain.

The funniest thing is that I also got a lot of foreign language books, such as English, German, Italian, French, Russian, Japanese, etc. Because Fan has been running outside in the past few years, knowing that China has reformed and opening up, not only in the Chinese mainland in the future, the apprentice will definitely have to go abroad if he has the opportunity, but he didn't think that it was useless to just buy books, he only knew that he didn't know whether to say it, he didn't care, he said it now, as for the money, it depends on him to practice medicine in various places under the mountain, there used to be only one person, just mix and eat wherever you want, now you have to bring apprentices, no financial resources will not work.

Fortunately, Xiao Siqi is talented and intelligent, and as he practices "Yi Jin Yi Qigong" day by day, his attention and memory are getting better and better, and he basically never forgets it, because when practicing internal strength, especially when laying the foundation, he must be highly concentrated, and if he practices after the third layer, even if he doesn't pay much attention, the true qi will run according to his own route. And the premise of a good memory must be good attention, so down, so many books have taken more than three years to read the same, although I can't say which book which page and how many lines have the first few words are so perverted, but you can also recite it backwards, you can only understand it, because of age, plus there is no opportunity to practice, it can't be said.

After practicing Luohan boxing, Xiao Siqi looked at the sky, and when it was time for lunch, he walked to the place where he lived: it was a small cave processed, and there were two small holes in it, which were his and Lifan's 'house', and there was nothing in the 'house', a large and flat stone slab, which was cushioned by stones below, and there was a straw mat and a thin quilt on the stone slab, although it was simple, but the quilt was neatly folded. There were hundreds of books on one of the walls of the room, and his master had brought him all kinds of books. There is also a stone table outside, and it is said that the table is actually just a whole stone, but the top side is very neat, and there are two small stone piers on the side, which are used as seats.

"It looks like the master won't come back for lunch today," Zhu Siqi said to himself.

While talking, he walked to the place where he specialized in cooking, lit the fire, washed rice, cooked, washed, chopped, stir-fried, and put on the pot. The rice was bought by the master at the foot of the mountain, and the dish was a braised tofu and a fried hare meat.

After eating, you have to do your homework: first of all, you have to copy two scriptures with a brush, and you have to rewrite the traditional Chinese characters in the scriptures into simplified characters, because many of the words in the scriptures are traditional characters, and I am afraid that he will not be used to it when he goes out in the future, so he is given a Xinhua dictionary, and those who are not familiar with it will find it in the dictionary by themselves. Then there are medical books, which is what Si Qi is most interested in, but Chinese medicine is nothing more than acupuncture, prescriptions, and pushing the uterus to cross the qi. Basically, ordinary people can basically do it as long as they learn Chinese medicine, but they don't know if they are fine or not, and if they push the palace to cross the qi, they can't do it without internal force, and ordinary people won't.

And what Xiao Siqi has to do now is to be familiar with the various acupuncture points on the human body, as well as the scale of the needle when acupuncture, this is very important, sometimes even if the acupuncture points are right, but the acupuncture is more and less than one point has a great impact on the effect, so what he has to do now is to draw all the acupuncture points on the human body, and every day by a few cases, he indicates the size of the needle on the acupuncture points to be acupuncture.

After doing this, it is to memorize the Compendium of Materia Medica, the world's medicinal materials, basically into this book, but even if you remember it all, sometimes you will make mistakes, there are many Chinese medicines that are very particular, for this disease may need the medicinal materials to be dry, that disease then the medicinal materials are wet, the medicinal properties of spring and autumn are not the same, the medicinal properties of the morning and the evening are not the same, so although it is a "Compendium of Materia Medica" , but in fact, he has mastered more than ten books, but this is also a book that Xiao Siqi can practice, there are many medicinal materials on this mountain, although it can't include all the medicinal materials in the book, but it's not bad.

So when you do this homework, you have to go around the mountains, and every day you have to find a different medicine village, and then write the medicine on the side and what diseases are curative, as for the other cultural content, it is simple, it is all rote memorization, with Xiao Siqi's ability to never forget, and now there is basically no need to do this homework.

It's almost dark after all the homework is done, but this is also the time for Xiao Siqi to play by himself. I saw that he took all kinds of books back to the room and put them away, and took out two sandbags from the room, tied them to his calf, and took a small bow in one hand. Looks like he's ready to go out hunting.
