Chapter 2: The Soul Sutra and the Five Elements Fist
Zhao Yanjing and his younger brother Zhao Yanbo have a room, which is actually the side room of the living room, which is divided into two, two people in a bed, and there are almost constant small fights every day.
At half past two in the morning, Zhao Yanjing's eyes opened suddenly, and the habit of three years would not be easily changed.
Looking at his younger brother who was sleeping on his back, Zhao Yanjing got up cautiously, in fact, even if he moved loudly, he would not wake up his younger brother at all.
Zhao Yanjing left the village as fast as he could, he didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was cultivating, and there was a big river in the east of the village, which was the best place for him to cultivate.
Zhao Yanjing has had appendicitis since he was a child, and his health has never been very good, so that in just one mile, he has already been out of breath.
Finding a remote place, Zhao Yanjing crossed his knees and practiced the Spiritual Sutra for two hours from three to five o'clock every day, and practiced the Five Elements Fist for two hours from five to seven o'clock.
The Soul Sutra is not a scripture, but a method of concentrating on the mind; according to the old Taoist priest, once the cultivation is successful, the soul can transcend life and death; this Soul Sutra is said to be superb, as if it is the cultivation of the true exercises.
It's just that the Mind Sutra needs to be meditated, and the most important thing is that the state of mind is mature and simple.
Meditation can be done by anyone, but the state of mind is mature and simple, these are the two extremes.
Mature, simple!
How can a mature person be simple, how can a simple person be mature, even if he is an old Taoist priest, who has been cultivating for so many years, is just a beginner, and he is still far away from the first level of concentration.
Despite this, the old Taoist priest was also the most terrifying guy Zhao Yanjing had ever seen, and his so-called feeling was simply powerful to the limit, and any disturbance around him was under his control.
Zhao Yanjing didn't care about these, he just calmed down and comprehended and cultivated wholeheartedly, and he remembered the visualization diagram of the Soul Sutra very proficiently.
It was a skeleton in a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged, hugging the dust, and his body exuded endless dead air, and every time he imagined it, he gave Zhao Yanjing a terrifying feeling.
However, at this moment, Zhao Yanjing had just been contemplating for a short time, but he heard a clicking sound, and when he opened his eyes and looked around, there was nothing wrong with it.
The corners of his mouth showed a hint of bitterness, and Zhao Yanjing continued to visualize, but at this time, he suddenly found that the skeleton in his imagination actually exuded a faint black aura from his body.
Zhao Yanjing was taken aback, and immediately woke up from his vision, looking like he was having palpitations, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
The skull in the visualization actually emitted black gas, what is going on, could it be his own hallucination?
However, Zhao Yanjing is also a person who has died once, and he doesn't care too much about these, at least, he is not afraid of dying again.
Again in the contemplation, and with full attention, he was amazed to find that the black qi around the skeleton was not emanating from its body, but pouring into it from all around.
After a little hesitation, Zhao Yanjing continued to visualize, although this skeleton had changed, he didn't know what the result would be, but he was used to breaking the jar and breaking it, and he didn't take this strange change seriously at all.
Become a god
It doesn't make a difference to him, all he needs is strength.
And as time passed, he clearly felt that his five senses had changed dramatically, the wind and grass around him were completely under his control, and there was a sense of detachment from the soul.
Two hours passed, and the visualization was interrupted, not because Zhao Yanjing didn't want to continue the visualization, but because the figure in the visualization disappeared.
The old Taoist priest didn't know why this was the case, so he said that this exercise was very weird, and that it was nothing more than the legendary cultivation exercise.
Two hours passed, Zhao Yanjing exhaled a light breath of turbidity, and then began to practice the Five Elements Fist, and this so-called Five Elements Fist is actually five movements.
The Five Elements Fist corresponds to five animals, namely a cow, a cat, a snake, a turtle, and a finch.
The so-called Five Elements Boxing is not only a boxing method, but also a body method and a leg method, but it is mainly a boxing method.
In fact, when he saw the Five Elements Fist for the first time, Zhao Yanjing was also very strange, he once thought that the old Taoist priest was playing tricks on him, after all, the four animals of cow, cat, turtle and finch have nothing to do with the Five Elements Fist.
Later, after he had cultivated for a period of time, the old Taoist priest told him that the five animals of the Five Elements Fist corresponded to the five divine beasts.
The cow corresponds to the unicorn, the cat corresponds to the white tiger, the turtle corresponds to the Xuanwu, the finch corresponds to the vermilion bird, and the snake corresponds to the green dragon.
This is so because these five animals are relatively common, and they can be seen almost all of them if they are not too special.
Their abundance is destined to be extraordinary, and it is even rumored that they have some divine beast bloodline, although this bloodline is almost non-existent.
The Five Elements Boxing is not a practice, it has only one movement from beginning to end, and what you have to do for two hours is to maintain one movement.
It's a weird action, just lying on the ground, like a turtle, not too special, and the mind is constantly changing five animals: cow, cat, snake, turtle, and finch, and so on, two hours is enough.
It looks simple from the outside, but it doesn't sound like that, in just ten minutes, Zhao Yanjing couldn't support it anymore, and collapsed to the ground panting.
The first time he cultivated, he only lasted five minutes, and those five minutes were twenty minutes of rest.
His thirteen-year-old body at this time could actually support ten minutes, and this result made him feel incredible.
What he didn't expect was that he only rested for ten minutes before regaining his strength, and then continued to lie there, thinking about the five animals.
Although the time he supported was very short, he was very excited, because even the old Taoist priest could only support ten minutes at a time, but his rest time was short, only five minutes.
Not long after lying down for the second time, there was a clicking sound, and at this time, his bones seemed to come alive, and the pain and comfort made Zhao Yanjing can't help but straighten his neck, and his muscles are bruised.
This feeling is extremely refreshing, a hundred times more refreshing than when I used to cultivate; it's just that when I used to cultivate, it took me ten days of cultivation to have such an effect, but I didn't expect that now I only have such an effect after only ten minutes of cultivation.
What is going on has something to do with the abnormal skeleton in my vision, and if so, it seems that everything makes sense.
Even the old Taoist priest never said that the skull was bubbling with black gas in the visualization, and he was blessed by misfortune, and it was difficult for him to be lucky.
Although he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Yanjing wouldn't bother about it, and after two hours, cultivation was also meaningless, Zhao Yanjing got up, and instantly felt that his whole body was much lighter in an instant.
A casual jump would be more than two meters away, which was impossible for him to do.
For the same journey, it only took Zhao Yanjing half the time to go back, and when he returned to bed, his younger brother was still sleeping there on all fours.
When I was young, I didn't know what sorrow was, and I almost fell asleep, and during the summer vacation, I couldn't wake up at all if I didn't sleep until 10 o'clock every day.
However, now Zhao Yanjing did not continue to sleep, he did not have the idea of sleeping back to sleep; for him now, studying to make money is the king.
If you want to be a gentleman in the evening, you naturally need to make some preparations, at least the situation around the store, which needs to be explored.
I came to Zhuangtou early, and the small shop in my memory was lonely there, that is, ordinary people's homes, but the front room was changed into a shop.
The chubby figure sat on the edge of the counter with an old-fashioned face, and there was a girl next to him, about the same age as Zhao Yanjing, who was the daughter of the fat woman.
Zhao Yanjing has never heard of the fat woman's husband, and it seems that only mother and daughter depend on each other in the family.
Later, the family called a son-in-law, a young man from other places, and gave birth to three children, but in the end the man took all the money and ran away, leaving three children.
The husband ran away, and the woman went crazy; only the fat woman was left, taking care of the three children alone, and the crazy daughter; later Zhao Yanjing also saw her a few times, selling cigarettes at a roadside stall; but life was really difficult.
This is all in the future, but now their family is really doing well, and the goods in the store are four or five thousand yuan, which is already a wealthy family in 2004.
You must know that now Zhao Yanjing's village only has a Sankarna, which is still second-hand.
The surrounding area has not yet developed, and most of the people are still idle, and their source of income is only food grown in the fields.
Over time, there was a steady stream of people buying things, but only cigarettes and household goods, most commonly salt and vinegar.
To the south of the shop, too, is on the edge of the river, but there is a mass grave full of graves.
Looking at this cemetery at this time, Zhao Yanjing suddenly had a feeling of wanting to get closer, and after this feeling appeared, he couldn't suppress it.
Thinking of the black qi around the skeleton in his visualization, it could be that it had something to do with it, if that's the case, it seems that he can go here tomorrow to cultivate.
It's deserted, let alone between three and seven o'clock, and usually the people in the surrounding villages don't get up until eight o'clock to get busy.
After observing for a while, Zhao Yanjing went home at noon to have some food, went to his friend Luo Hao to borrow the book of the first year of junior high school, and then read it alone.
At this time, he only knew how to run around every day, but now that he has more than 30 years of memory, he naturally does not run around with those children.
His academic performance was not good, and the most serious thing was the excitement of the exams, and he must have performed abnormally in every exam, but he did not play English at all, and he did not score more than 45 points each time.
This time, it will naturally not be the same situation as before, and he needs to go to Lu Xuanyan's high school to prevent her from falling in love.
