Chapter VI
The old man of the pipe led Huai'an to the depths of the mine, through many winding passages, and came to an open place, which should be the center of the mine, and I don't know who carved out such a large space here.
The old man sat down on the ground and let Huai'an sit down beside him. Huai'an hesitated a little and asked, "Father-in-law, won't anyone find out here?"
"Don't worry, I've sealed the entrance with an energy barrier, and ordinary people can't see that there is such a space here. ”
After hearing this, Huai'an was relieved and asked:
"Father-in-law, what kind of ability do we want to cultivate?"
"Judan Technique, also known as 'Qi Alchemy'"
"Before I teach you the Judan technique, I want to tell you a story. ”
"When I was a child, I traveled with my father and brother. My father taught us the 'Judan Technique', and my brother and I studied with my father for decades, so we had some experience. In this process, I learned a little more than my brother, and from my father's love, he passed on this ancient book 'Judanji' to me when he was dying, so that I could continue to enrich and perfect it. The elder brother was assassinated by a wicked man while wandering in the mountains and rivers a few years ago, presumably because he thought that the elder brother had an ancient book on him, and wanted to kill and rob it. Saying this, the old man looked to the side with tears streaming down his face.
Huai'an also sat quietly with a solemn face. After a while, the old man continued,
"My life is coming to an end, and I have two long-cherished wishes that have not been fulfilled. The first is to find my brother's murderer and avenge him, and the second is to fulfill my father's last wish and continue to enrich and improve the 'Judanji'. After that, the old man turned his head to look at Huai'an and said, "You are now the only inheritor of the 'Judan Technique', if something happens to me one day, please be sure to help my father-in-law fulfill these two long-cherished wishes, you promise me, you must promise me." As he spoke, the old man with a pipe clung to Huai'an excitedly, his hands trembling slightly.
Huai'an pointed his fingers to the sky and said, "I, Huai'an, swear by the sky here, I will help my father-in-law complete his long-cherished wish before his death, no matter how dangerous or difficult it is, as long as Huai'an is still there, I must complete my father's long-cherished wish!"
The old man's red eyes moistened again. Hug Huai'an tightly.
This emotion may have the love for the righteous son who has received such affection and righteousness, or the excitement that the "Judan Technique" will eventually be inherited, or the joy that the brother's feud can still be traced. I can't tell which feelings are the most important, and all my mixed feelings have turned into tears!
The old man of the pipe has not mentioned the past for a long time, and he has not vented the pent-up emotions in his heart for a long time, and after a while, the old man of the pipe held back his tears, his eyes returned to his usual calmness, and he looked at Huai'an and said
"Come, I'll teach you the Judan technique. ”
"Many years ago, many predecessors believed that human beings were the product of the combination of yin and yang between heaven and earth, and that the human body contained everything in this heaven and earth, and the human body was a microcosm of heaven and earth. These predecessors look inwardly in search of their own energy field, and this stage is called 'inward viewing'. The process of 'looking inward' alone has taken several generations of life's work. The predecessors recorded their life's experience in a 'Qi Refining Collection' and passed it on to their descendants, who continued to practice Qi refining on the basis of the original predecessors, sensing the existence of the energy field from the air of heaven and earth, this stage is called 'peeping into the sky', and then resonating with their own energy field and the energy field between heaven and earth to obtain energy. This stage is called 'forming'. However, the use and control of this energy is very complicated, and after a few years of inheritance, some people have found a way to store the energy generated by the resonance in the body, making themselves particularly powerful. This stage is called 'Hua Dan'. Later, I renamed the 'Qi Refining Collection' to the 'Judan Collection', which is the book I am holding in my hand. ”
"Father-in-law, isn't that the current Judan Collection particularly powerful, comparable to the artifacts of the nobles?"
"The current Judan Ji can already be compared with the artifacts of the nobles, and as for what artifacts it is compared with, it depends on how well we're 'Qi Refiners', to what extent we have refined Qi and Transformation Pills, and whether 'Qi Refiners' have new comprehensions to make a qualitative leap in strength. ”
"Father-in-law, what is the strongest Qi Refiner like?"
"Qi refiner, there is no such thing as the strongest, Qi refining is an endless process, and future generations will always go up on the basis of their predecessors, continue to inherit, and constantly strengthen, only stronger, not the strongest. Different people have different understandings, and the realm that can be achieved after studying in the present is also different. Therefore, the inheritance of 'Judanji' has always adhered to a principle, first look at the character and then look at the understanding, at the beginning my understanding was slightly higher than my brother, from my father to the 'Judanji' inheritance to me. Now that you are cultivating with me, after many years, if you have a good understanding, I will be able to pass on all of this 'Ju Dan Collection' and hand it over to you." Huai'an, don't blame your father-in-law, this is a rule set by the ancestors, so that 'Judanji' can be better inherited. ”
Huai'an understands that Huai'an will definitely do his best to learn from his father-in-law and not disappoint his father-in-law. Huai'an looked at the old man with a firm look in his eyes.
"I believe in you, and today I will teach you the first lesson, 'Inner Vision'. This is the most important and basic aspect of the Judan technique, where you sit cross-legged, relax with your whole body, close your eyes and listen, and breathe through your nose. Feel the feeling of the gas sinking into the dantian, don't be distracted by the messy thoughts in the process, focus on your breathing, feel the gas flowing in the body, and let the gas sink into the dantian in the lower abdomen. Don't be impatient, just calm down and feel all this. With that, the old man with a pipe also sat cross-legged beside Huai'an.
After sitting down, Huai'an's mind always kept popping up all kinds of distracting thoughts, and the more Huai'an wanted to get rid of them, the clearer and messier the distracting thoughts became, constantly popping out of his mind. Huai'an was always unable to concentrate, and this continued until the evening. The old man with a pipe woke Huai'an up and walked out with Huai'an.
"Father-in-law, why can't I concentrate on feeling my breath all the time?" asked Huai'an, puzzled, as he walked with the old man with a pipe.
"Hehe, normal, normal, everyone who has just started to 'look inside' will encounter such a problem, you have to do not resist your distractions, the more you resist, the clearer it will be in your mind. To accept it, to take all existence for granted. At the same time, focus on your breath and let your thoughts sink and sink until they flow through your body with the gas you breathe in. The old man with the pipe said.
The day passed like this, and at night, in the dead of night, everyone went to sleep, and Huai'an was still excited, so excited that he couldn't sleep. Huai'an got up and sat upright on the bed, recalling every word the old man said in the afternoon.
"Don't resist your distractions, accept it, don't resist, accept it, focus on your breath, let your mind sink in, and your thoughts go in and out with the gas you breathe. Huai'an breathed intently while thinking about his father-in-law's words. Time flowed minute by minute, and Huai'an's breathing became lighter and lighter......
