"His face was full of dust and smoke, and his temples were pale and his fingers were black. What is the profit from selling charcoal? The clothes on the body eat in the mouth. The poor shirt is single, and the heart is worried and wishes for the cold. A foot of snow outside the city at night, Xiao drove a charcoal car to roll ice ruts......"

Standing at the entrance of the passage, looking at the white snow, Zhen Cheng recited Bai Juyi's eternal quatrain.

At this moment, Zhen Cheng just wanted to yell at the sky, "I'm so hungry!" ”

Before noon, Zhen Cheng was led into the cave behind the bamboo house by Yao Lao.

Zhen Cheng, who originally thought that Yao Lao would teach himself alchemy, walked in and realized that he was going to fan himself.

There is no crater in the cave, and it is unlikely that there will be a large alchemy well that can only be seen in the cartoon, and there is no antique alchemy furnace.

The place where Yao Lao alchemy, in Zhen Cheng's words, is similar to the blacksmith furnace of a handicraft workshop.

A fairly clean cave, full of medicinal herbs, and in addition, coal used for alchemy!

In Zhen Cheng's impression, alchemy should be a very elegant thing. A figure like Yao Lao should be suspended in the air, holding the dust whisk in his right hand, and then the seven orifices are on fire, holding up the Dan furnace, burning it with the Samadhi True Fire for nine hundred and eighty-one days, and then shouting, "Dancheng!" After that, a large handful of gold pills were filled with small bottles full of exquisite beauty.

"Damn, how can alchemy be like this!" Zhen Cheng's clothes had several holes in them, and they were black, and at a glance, he knew that they were burned by fire.

Zhen Cheng squatted down, grabbed a few handfuls of snow, and kept rubbing his hands.

My hands are as black as bear's paws, and I have rinsed them N times with the water of the hot spring, and they are still black!

Zhen Cheng's always clean and tidy baby face also became black and red, at first glance, if Qian Yuhan saw Zhen Cheng at this time, he would definitely be very relieved and surprised.

Coming out of Yao Lao's so-called Dan room, Zhen Cheng soaked in the hot spring for a while, but still didn't clean himself. Hungry, Zhen Cheng wanted to come out and get the things that Qianyu Han had.

When he saw the three bamboo baskets buried by the goose feathers and heavy snow, Zhen Cheng was completely stunned.

There was rice and wheat, and there was meat, but unfortunately it was covered in snow and frozen like ice.

"Damn Qianyu Han, why are there only three bamboo baskets? Could it be that when the fourth basket was transported, he fell off the cliff and died? Zhen Cheng sighed and gave up the idea of cooking by himself. There is no salt, it is difficult to make a fire on the high mountain, and it is already the dead of night, Zhen Cheng is too lazy to toss. Thinking in the dark in my heart, Qianyu Han weishenme didn't send salt, thinking about how to play tricks on Qianyu Han at dawn tomorrow.

Zhen Cheng looked at the snow that was falling bigger and bigger, and extremely reluctantly took out a porcelain bottle containing waste pills from his trouser pocket.

This is Yao Lao's reward to Zhen Cheng, last night's missile, Yao Lao and Zhen Cheng filled a whole bottle.

"It's better to eat than to be hungry!" When the lid was opened, a burnt herbal smell tickled Zhen Cheng's nose. Thinking about being supported by the pill yesterday, Zhen Cheng pinched it hard with his hand, and threw the lower half of it into his mouth.

After a shijie apocalyptic taste, Zhen Cheng's hungry stomach was relieved a lot.

"Damn, if it goes on like this, it's hard to become an immortal! Sooner or later malnourishment and starvation! Looking at the frozen meat in the bamboo basket, Zhen Cheng swallowed his saliva and walked back.

With such a high peak, Zhen Cheng is not afraid of losing things. The temperature inside the cave is more than 30 degrees, and it will stink when you take the meat in.

Since it's useless now, Zhen Cheng doesn't bother to pay attention to it. Feeling that the waste pill had worked, Zhen Cheng returned to his stone cave extremely depressed.

"Gollum-poof-"

Zhen Cheng had just laid down in the stone cave, just like last night, there was a "poof" sound, and Zhen Cheng felt as if there was a sudden fire in his dantian. Zhen Cheng's face turned pale with fright from the sensation of his body, and he hurriedly ran the deadwood exercises, then closed his eyes, quickly looked inward, and checked the condition of the dantian.

The dantian is divided into upper, middle and lower, and the dantian that is usually said generally refers to the lower dantian.

The upper dantian is the place where the superintendent is sealed, also known as the "mud pill palace"; The middle dantian is the acupoint in the middle of the chest, and it is the gathering place of the sect's qi; The lower dantian is the Ren Maiguan Yuan acupoint, three inches below the umbilicus, which is the place where the essence is hidden.

The upper dantian is the sexual root, and the lower dantian is the lifeline. If you give your life to cultivate, you can get through the big and small Zhoutian, and reach the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void. The ancients called the essence and spirit the three treasures, and regarded the dantian as the place where the essence and spirit were stored, so they attached great importance to the dantian, like "the root of life".

After cultivating ancient martial arts, Zhen Cheng paid more attention to the relevant knowledge of the human body. In the high-risk prison, when Miao Siren used traditional Chinese medicine to repair the dantian for Zhen Cheng, Zhen Cheng read a lot of knowledge about the dantian.

The lower dantian is the main part of the practice to induce qi. The function of cultivating the qi of the dantian is to exercise the body fluid system and stimulate the energy substances in the body to regulate and enrich the body fluid circulation and improve the overall metabolic function, so as to exert a stimulating effect.

The qi of the dantian, which people often say, is not only qi, but also promotes the circulation of body fluids through the guidance of qi.

When body fluids are abundant and fluid, the body's potential can be unleashed.

If you keep the dantian, you can regulate yin and yang, communicate with the heart and kidneys, enrich the true qi and smooth the eight veins, and enrich the vitality of the dantian, you can mobilize the potential of the human body, make the true qi circulate throughout the body, restore the innate physiological functions, and promote the health and longevity of the body.

The lower dantian is the most closely related to the life activities of the human body, it is located in the center of the human body, is the starting point of the three meridians of the Ren pulse, the Du pulse and the Chong pulse, and the twelve meridians are also directly or indirectly through the dantian and input into the meridian, and then transferred to the internal organs.

The lower dantian is the base for the lifting, opening and closing of the true qi, and it is also the place where men hide sperm and women raise their wombs.

"The Book of Difficulty" believes that Xia Dantian is "the ancestor of life, the source of vitality, the foundation of the five internal organs, the root of the twelve meridians, the meeting of yin and yang, the door of breathing, and the hometown of water and fire." ”

Therefore, qigong practitioners mostly use the lower dantian as the main part of exercising, gathering, and storing true qi.

The vitality of human beings originates from the kidneys, is hidden in the dantian, and circulates around the whole body through the way of the three cokes to promote the functional activities of the five internal organs. The strength of the human body, life and death, depends on the prosperity and decline of the dantian vitality.

Dantian is a general concept, three inches below the umbilicus, mainly including Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Shen Que, Ming Men and other acupuncture points.

Keeping the dantian is a practice method in which the practitioner concentrates and keeps his thoughts in the dantian, but when he actually exercises, people cannot keep his mind only on one acupuncture point, and can only keep it within a range centered on the acupuncture point. Therefore, it is more appropriate to understand dantian as such a range.

In the process of cultivating the dantian, there are many particulars, for example, "the innate qi should be stable, and the acquired qi should be smooth" is a principle that all cultivators should follow.

The acquired qi should be smooth, which means that the breath should be natural. If the abdomen is stable, the breathing will be natural and smooth, and the lower plate will be stable. The refining and refining of Qi Shen Dantian is to accumulate internal qi to become internal strength. Then refine the gas and transform the gods, so that the internal strength has the function of "God comes with knowledge, and wisdom hides from the past". In this way, the internal qi and appearance are matched in one, and the rigid hair can be softened, and the jishu method of soft and rigid is implemented in the attack and defense of the competition.

The talent of a cultivator is actually mainly reflected in the control of the "Qi Shen Dantian".

"Qi Shen Dantian" is the feeling of receiving qi in the lower abdomen and kidney area when inhaling.

Intention to keep the heart, go down to the palace (that is, in the dantian), accumulate the sect's qi; Cis breathing puffs up the abdomen and retracts it as you exhale.

Cis breathing is a kind of deep abdominal breathing, which can guide the vitality of the middle dantian into the lower dantian and store it in the eight veins of the human body, so as to improve the various functions of the human body.

"Damn, it's so big!" Broke through two orders in two days, and each time it became more and more weird. When he was sober, he had to deal with Yao Lao and Qian Yuhan, even if he wanted to look inside and check the dantian, but he never had time.

When Zhen Cheng ran the Deadwood Exercises, his heart turned at will, and when he felt the situation in the dantian, he couldn't help but exclaim loudly in his heart.

Zhen Cheng's lower dantian area, the originally independent Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, Shenque, and Destiny Gate acupoints seemed to be suddenly connected.

Zhen Cheng still remembered that before he broke through the Heavenly Steps, the airflow that he was sinking was mainly stored in Guan Yuan's acupoint. After breaking through the early stage of the Heavenly Rank, the true air flow between the Qi Sea and the Guan Yuan Acupoint strengthened. Breaking through to the middle and late stages of the Heavenly Rank, Zhen Cheng hadn't checked it, and from the current situation of the dantian, it should be that if he didn't break through a stage, he would strengthen the airflow transformation of an acupoint.

"There are ants under the heavenly steps, it turns out that it makes sense!" Zhen Cheng closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly perceiving and comprehending. For those who did not break through the Heavenly Rank, the air flow was mainly stored in the Guan Yuan acupoint, and the other three acupoints were useless. But after breaking through the Heavenly Rank, without breaking through a stage, the airflow of an acupoint was added, in such a situation, how could people below the Heavenly Rank be able to compete?

It's like two children facing a bunch of good things and filling their pockets with delicious food. You only have one pocket, and others have four, how can Zuihou compare?

The four key acupuncture points in the lower dantian were completely stimulated, and Zhen Cheng's cultivation area suddenly increased by three times compared to the time when he was at the ground level. This is still a simple increase in the number, one acupoint becomes four.

If the meridians between the four acupuncture points are also counted, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have increased seven times or eight times.

It turned out that a person who lived in a small house of ten square meters by himself suddenly had a villa with more than ten rooms, so what was it like for Zhen Cheng to face his big dantian.

"It's empty, there's nothing! How long do I have to cultivate before I can fill my dantian! After Zhen Cheng felt the changes in the four acupoints of the lower dantian, he looked at the empty big room and sighed, "If these four large warehouses are full, then it can be regarded as the real Great Perfection of the late stage of the Heavenly Stage!" It's no wonder that some people have cultivated all their lives, but they haven't cultivated to perfection. ”

Looking at the dantian inside, Zhen Cheng has a unique advantage. Others can only rely on feelings, but Zhen Cheng can clearly inspect every acupoint as if he were looking with his eyes.

"It's strange, why did that feeling disappear again?" The "poof" sound just now was exactly the same as the sound of suddenly fainting and breaking through to the late stage of the Heavenly Ladder last night. But what made Zhen Cheng extremely depressed was that he carefully checked the lower dantian three times, but found nothing.

"Hey, what's that?" Zhen Cheng was discouraged and wanted to stop running the dead wood exercises, a little bit of crystal like the size of a mung bean grain in Guan Yuan's cave attracted Zhen Cheng's attention, and he held his breath, hugging Yuan Shouyi, Zhen Cheng slowly gathered his spirit on that little bit of crystal.
