Chapter Twenty-Three: Difficult to Be Quiet
The first step in cultivating internal strength is to enter meditation, and only by entering meditation can you feel qi, and only after you have a sense of qi can you rush to the acupoints and carry Zhou Tian.
In the cultivation of internal strength, although meditation is only an introductory effort, it is the most important thing.
It is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to enter meditation, and some people can practice the Dharma and succeed in meditation in a few days.
But there are also people who are not pure-minded, and they can't do it for a few years, so they have to switch to foreign kung fu.
Wan Yankang sat cross-legged, holding the Guanxin Seal, looking like an old god was there, looking presentable.
Quiet?
Gas?
No!
After a month of practicing like this, practicing day and night, Wanyankang still did not succeed in meditation.
Seeing that Yan Kang became anxious, Qiu Chuji comforted: "Kang'er doesn't need to be anxious, there are fast and slow feelings in meditation, even when he was a teacher, his feelings were also quite slow, and the speed of entering meditation and feeling qi has nothing to do with the progress of martial arts in the future." ”
Wan Yankang heard Qiu Chuji say this, and hurriedly asked, "Master, how long did it take you to succeed in Jingjing back then?" ”
Qiu Chuji stroked his beard, looked up at the sky, and made a reminiscence of the past: "When I learned martial arts with my teacher, it was only in March that I could succeed in Jingjing as a teacher. ”
Wan Yankang felt comforted in his heart, he thought to himself, although Qiu Chuji, this old way, is not a person in the five uniques, but he is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and he will take the old way as an example.
Wan Yankang sank down again, and tried his best to sense the dantian qi.
After a month, I farted a lot, and the gas feeling or something still didn't work. Wan Yankang had a bitter face, and looked at Qiu Chuji: "Master, I've worked hard, why can't I?" ”
Qiu Chuji pondered for a long time and said: "Kang'er, you are a little too impatient, my Taoist pays attention to quiet and inaction, you try to relax, relax, relax......"
Well, Wan Yankang relaxed and relaxed, and just fell asleep!
Another month passed, Wan Yankang was still difficult to feel angry, he looked at Qiu Chuji, tears were in his eyes: "Master, can't I practice internal skills!" ”
Qiu Chuji is also extremely helpless. Back then, he studied martial arts with Wang Chongyang, although he was only angry in March, but he was already a young man when he learned martial arts, and his mind was not pure, and it was rare to be able to feel qi in March, so Wang Chongyang was included in the door wall.
The three generations of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect are basically monks at an early age, and most of them can be successful between half a month and one month after receiving the Quanzhen Dao song. Qiu Chuji originally looked at Yan Kang's good bones, and he was very smart and clever, thinking that he would find a good disciple and defeat the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, who knew that Yan Kang would not be allowed to enter in March.
Where is this still a good apprentice, it is clearly a stubborn stone!
If it weren't for the fact that after thinking that Yan Kang was an old man, and there was a gambling contract with him, Qiu would have wanted to give up.
Qiu Chuji looked at Yan Kang's crying little face, and said after a while: "Xu is Kang'er, you are young and weak, the master prescribes a prescription to let you replenish your qi and blood, maybe it will be done." ”
One Tianxiong, one aconite, one tael of dried ginger, one tael of deer antler velvet, one tael of angelica, one tael of agarwood, two taels of woody incense, two taels of cinnamon...... It is supplemented with 100-year-old ginseng.
The recipe prescribed by Qiu Chuji is composed of ginseng, deer antler velvet and other precious medicines, and is called Yangqi Soup. The cost price of this recipe is fifty taels of silver, and it is also jokingly called fairy soup, which means that only the gods can drink it.
This fairy soup, even if ordinary rich people drink it, they will have a lot of pain, that is, the third generation of the emperor such as Wan Yankang should not be taken seriously.
Wan Yankang drank the half-moon fairy soup in a row, and he couldn't get into the quiet, but he was full of red light, and he got up one morning and had a nosebleed.
Bao Xiwan was startled, called the doctor to come and see, and learned that it was over-supplemented, so he was relieved.
Wan Yankang sat on the table in the room in a quiet daze, his heart was very complicated.
This rhythm is not right, although the original Wan Yankang is not a big master, but he has also practiced internal kung fu.
Could it be that in this life and this life, I have to get a few golden bell jars and iron cloth shirts to practice?
Thinking of the picture of his muscles pimpling and broken boulders in his chest, Wan Yankang couldn't wait to hit the wall!
Tian Xiaowan saw that her young master was bored, so she brought a bowl of lotus seed white fungus soup over with interest, and said softly: "Young master, drink some white fungus soup to dissipate your anger!" ”
Wan Yankang was angry in his heart, and slammed the bowl on the ground: "Dissipate the gas, young master, I was about to feel angry, you let me dissipate the gas!" ”
Tian Xiaowan looked at Wan Yankang aggrievedly, and tears flowed down, it can be seen that Wan Yankang is angry, and she doesn't dare to cry.
Wan Yankang saw Tian Xiaowan's tearful appearance, and came back to his senses, and knew that it was wrong for him to lose his temper, so he coaxed Tian Xiaowan.
Tian Xiaowan was originally a subordinate, but she was coaxed by Wan Yankang, and soon burst into laughter.
Wan Yankang looked at Tian Xiaowan crying and laughing, thinking in his heart, after all, this girl is a child, so coaxing.
Kids, kids!
Wan Yankang suddenly realized something, it was because although his body was a child, his mind was not!
After Yan Kang groaned for a long time, he bit his lip fiercely, then closed the door, pulled Tian Xiaowan to sit beside him, and said mysteriously: "Xiaowan, the young master has something he wants you to help with, you have to promise me, don't tell others!" ”
Tian Xiaowan looked at Yan Kang's mysterious appearance, and beat a drum in her heart, thinking that the young master would not want me to sleep, should I agree? Or do you say yes?
That's not right, I heard Sister Qiu Xiang say that men have to be teenagers to do that, the young master hasn't reached that time yet, right......
After Yan Kang saw that Tian Xiaowan didn't agree after thinking for a long time, he said a little irritably: "Just one thing, whether you promise or not, why don't you think about it for so long." ”
After listening to Yan Kang's urging, Tian Xiaowan immediately blushed, bit her lip, and said timidly: "Xiao Wan is the young master's person, what the young master wants Xiao Wan to do, Xiao Wan listens to the young master." ”
Looking at Tian Xiaowan's expression and words, two black lines appeared on Wan Yankang's face, and he said in his heart that he had to clean up Qiu Xiang's filthy girls when he turned around, Xiaowan, this girl was only a few years old, and she was taken bad by them, how could she think of that place.
He coughed embarrassedly, sorted out his thoughts, and then said solemnly: "Xiaowan, what the young master asked you to do is different from what you think." Young master, I'm not practicing with the Taoist master now, I can't practice it after practicing for a few months, I wonder if the Taoist master is not teaching well, I'll teach you what he taught, you can see if you can practice the sense of qi. ”
After hearing Yan Kang's words, Tian Xiaowan was even more ashamed, and covered her blushing face with her hands. She thought to herself that she was embarrassed, what should the young master think of me, so that after what Yan Kang said later, Tian Xiaowan didn't hear it clearly at all.
It wasn't until Yan Kang said it out loud again that she raised her head ignorantly and nodded in agreement.
Wan Yankang told again: "Only you know about this matter, and no one can say it." ”
Tian Xiaowan said timidly: "Sister Qiuxiang, can't they say it?" ”
Wan Yankang pretended to have a vicious expression and said, "If there is a third person who knows, the young master will not want you." ”
Tian Xiaowan hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Xiaowan doesn't say anything, no one says!" ”
Wan Yankang nodded with satisfaction, and began to teach the song of the True Dao.
Tian Xiaowan also followed Yan Kang to read the book for two years, and she also memorized the song of Quanzhen Dao more than a dozen times, and after listening to Yan Kang's explanation according to the book, she could understand it, but she didn't know anything about dantian and acupoints.
Wan Yankang had no choice but to touch and pinch Tian Xiaowan's body like a Qiu machine, pointing out where the dantian and some acupoints were.
Although Tian Xiaowan is young, her physique seems to be very sensitive, and her face is flushed when she is touched and pinched by Wan Yankang, and she moans slightly.
Wan Yankang looked at Tian Xiaowan's shy appearance, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and immediately slapped himself when he turned around, scolding the beast secretly.
After Tian Xiaowan saw Yan Kang, she suddenly slapped herself, and immediately asked with concern, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wan Yankang said embarrassedly: "It seems that a mosquito bit me just now, and I will fight mosquitoes." ”
Although it is early spring, it is still very cold in the north, where are the mosquitoes? Tian Xiaowan glared and said that she didn't know the situation at all.
After Yan Kang talked nonsense for a while, he fooled Tian Xiaowan to pay attention to learning martial arts.
Although he taught Tian Xiaowan how to calm and feel qi, Wan Yankang still did not slack off, and continued to drink tonic medicine and meditate and practice every day, but when he drank tonic medicine every day, he also gave half of it to Tian Xiaowan to see if he could speed up the progress.
Seven or eight days later, when Wan Yan Kang was meditating and practicing, Tian Xiaowan knocked on the door, walked in lightly, and whispered in Wan Yan Kang's ear: "Young master, I seem to have practiced." ”
Wan Yankang was happy and ashamed when he heard it, he was happy that his own people had practiced, it seemed that the old Taoist was right; It's a shame that the little maid has practiced it in a few days, and she has been grinding for a few months and is still circling outside the door.
Thinking of this, Yan Kang was still a little unsure, and asked Tian Xiaowan solemnly how she felt.
Tian Xiaowan said hesitantly: "Xiaowan seems to have that sense of anger the day before yesterday, but she is not sure, so she didn't dare to tell the young master you." Last night, I tried to get that thing to open the acupoint, and then it seemed that it really opened one, Xiao Wan thought, this should really be done. ”
At this moment, Wan Yankang almost wanted to fall headlong on the table.
Heaven, earth, let me cross over without opening the golden finger, it's so difficult to enter the silence. My little maid can be quiet for a few days, and I have spent months working hard, and I am still meditating in a daze there!
After a long time, Wan Yankang calmed down, relieved himself, and carefully asked Tian Xiaowan how to succeed in Jingjing.
Tian Xiaowan blinked her big watery eyes, and said in confusion: "Xiao Wan doesn't know, Xiao Wan just followed what the young master taught, she didn't want to do anything, she felt it when she sat down." ”
Wan Yankang muttered, I don't want anything, I don't want anything. Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, and he instantly understood what his problem was.
Tian Xiaowan is a child, simple-minded, and it is naturally easy to be quiet. In fact, he is an adult in his heart, and he is a human being, and whenever he is in silence, he has a lot of distracting thoughts in his heart, and he can't achieve the true peace of the heart lake.
What to do, what to do.
Could it be that I have not been able to calm down and feel qi, so I can only give up my inner kung fu and specialize in my outer family?
Impossible, there must be a way, there must be a way!
Be calm yourself, calm down and think slowly. Wan Yankang's thoughts were surging in his heart, and he kept telling himself to calm down.
That's right, calm down, calm down.
When it's cold, you can naturally calm down, Wan Yankang thought of a way and decided to give it a try.
