Chapter 3 Practicing Tuna
After entering Qinghe County, Wu Song and Wu Dalang rented a house to live, and Wu Da went to sell cooking cakes every day. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Song wanted to sell it with his brother, but Wu Dalang resolutely did not allow it, saying: "My brother is so smart, he is going to do a big career in the future, how can he do this kind of lowly work as a peddler's pawn?" ”
Wu Song said: "Who said that selling cooking cakes is a lowly job? ”
He almost told the story of someone else selling scallion pancakes and becoming a millionaire in his previous life, but fortunately, he finally couldn't help it, and just begged his brother to teach him how to make cooking cakes. But Wu Dalang resolutely refused, and finally took out the style of being an elder brother and reprimanded Wu Song sharply: "Erlang, why do you disobey your brother so much? Parents left us two brothers, there is no way to be an elder brother, you can only sell cooking cakes to support the family, you are a good man, you should aim high, win fame, glorify your ancestors, in the future, I will also have the face to see my father and mother under the spring, how can I be willing to indulge in the peddler pawn like my brother? Are you worthy of your parents? ”
Although Wu Dalang was short, he said this righteously and strictly. When Wu Song heard this, he was shocked, and suddenly realized, so he stopped arguing with his brother.
Yes, my brother has a point.
The reason why he wants to sell cooking cakes with his brother is because in his previous life, as a modern person, he felt that as long as he could make money, he was a good career, selling cooking cakes, selling gold cakes, selling fritters and selling gold bars, and there was nothing high or low, and the second was that his heartbroken brother Wu Dalang didn't want him to run around for a living alone. I haven't found a good job yet, and I can help my brother.
But after all, I and my brother are different. As a traverser, you can't waste all your precious time selling cooking cakes, there are more important things to do. There are some things that you must act on immediately if you are moved!
In fact, he didn't think that selling cooking cakes might also make a big career. Because, in the previous life, there was a saying called "small business makes a lot of money", the samurai cookcakes were done well and became a brand, maybe they could also open chain stores everywhere, so that everyone in the Song Dynasty could eat Wuda cookcakes, and at that time he and his brother might also become successful business giants.
However, in the final analysis, doing business is not Wu Song's interest. Not in the past life, and even less in this life. He was not this material in his previous life, and he lacked experience in this area. Therefore, the kind of thing that I saw in the time travel novel in my previous life to make a fortune in ancient times by using modern knowledge does not apply to him.
Moreover, in this life, it was the Great Song Dynasty, and the manly husband emphasized the stability of the country and the righteousness of chivalry, rather than doing business for profit.
Therefore, instead of selling cooking cakes with his brother Wu Dalang, Wu Song must do something he wants to do and should do.
He thought about it and felt that the first thing was to cultivate the martial arts secret book that came out of nowhere: the Dharma Heart Sutra.
The reason is very simple: this is the Great Song Dynasty, gunpowder has been invented, but it is still the era when cold weapons are king. When marching to fight, walking the rivers and lakes, and even protecting yourself and your family in society, the most reliable thing is still that your fists are hard enough.
Although as a traverser, Wu Song's fate in this life may change, judging from the records in the books of his previous life, it may still be difficult for him to avoid living a life of licking blood from the knife edge and swords. Therefore, he had to practice his martial arts assiduously to make himself as strong as possible.
Wu Song, who was written in the book of his previous life, Jingyanggang fought the tiger alone, charged on the battlefield, and was already one of the few masters in the world. And in this life, he has the "Dharma Heart Sutra", and his martial arts may be able to reach a higher level. Although he still doesn't know where this "Dharma Heart Sutra" came from after the crossing, he believes that this must be a great martial arts secret book.
The "Dharma Heart Sutra" says: "Practice to become eightfold, the world is invincible!" "Wu Song doesn't know if he will be able to practice to the eighth level in the end, but as long as he practices hard, his martial arts will not be bad.
Before dawn in the morning, Wu Dalang went out with a burden of cooking cakes, and still warmed six cooking cakes for Wu Song on the stove to make breakfast, because Wu Song ate a lot. After Wu Song got up, after eating the cooking cakes left by his brother, he took out the "Dharma Heart Sutra" and prepared to practice.
The introductory practice of the Dharma Heart Sutra is the method of breathing. (Note)
It reads: "The one who swallows it, the difference between life and death, the way of nature, the key of heaven and earth." Those who have vomited are born; Those who do not vomit will die; Those who are good at spitting are strong; Those who have the secret of vomiting are gods and Buddhas. ”
Wu Song's literary skills in his previous life were not very strong, but he was still able to read these words and understand the gist of them: Tunai is the difference between life and death in all things, the way of nature's cycle, and the most important thing between heaven and earth. Only those who have the function of spitting can survive; Those who do not have the function of vomiting can only die; Those who are good at using the method of breathing will make themselves strong; If you really get the subtlety of using the method of breathing, then you can become a god and become a Buddha. In short, it's a great look.
As a traverser, Wu Song will not blindly believe what these ancient books say, because he knows that there are many superstitious things in the books of the ancients. However, he thought about this summary of the "Dharma Heart Sutra" about tuna, but he felt very agreed.
He thought to himself: This exhalation and acceptance are similar to the photosynthesis of plants and the respiration of animals. Plants have photosynthesis in order to grow tall and immortal for ten thousand years; Humans and animals also need to breathe and constantly exchange energy and substances with the outside world in order to survive; People with large lung capacity, that is, people who breathe vigorously, generally have stronger physical fitness and greater strength.
Look at the "Dharma Heart Sutra" and write next: "Those who spit out are the deepest and most wonderful, and the simplest and most exploratory." Sit quietly, close your eyes, meditate, be sincere. exhale, then the mind perceives the qi to sink to the dantian; If you suck it, your mind will perceive the qi of the dantian and not disperse. That's it. ”
This is to the effect that the method of breathing mentioned in the "Dharma Heart Sutra" is not only the deepest and most subtle exercise, but also the simplest and most direct exercise, which is to sit down, close your eyes, calm your mind, and hold sincerity. When exhaling, use your mind to feel that the original inhaled gas is actually sinking down from the chest and lungs into the dantian; When you inhale, you use your mind to feel that the qi in the dantian is stored and will not dissipate. That's it.
This really doesn't seem complicated. It turns out that the secret of martial arts in ancient times is so simple and easy to do.
Wu Song immediately sat up in the room, closed his eyes, and tried to make his mind calm and focused, and conscientiously cultivated the method of breathing according to the method taught in the Dharma Heart Sutra.
This method of receptivity is the introductory basis for the practice of the Dharma Heart Sutra. Only when you have mastered the method of breathing and achieved something can you officially start practicing the first heart method.
After entering the cultivation realm, at first, Wu Song didn't feel anything unusual. But gradually, he could feel that his attention was becoming more and more concentrated, as if there was indeed a lot of gas absorbed from the outside world, and it was not all exhaled with his exhalation, but sank from his chest and lungs and accumulated into the dantian. In the dantian, there was soon an indescribable feeling, as if something was really stored.
The more he practiced, the more energetic he became, but then he forced himself to stop.
Because, Wu Song is not a greedy person, and he also knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. Of course, he really wanted to make himself strong quickly, but in his previous life, he read various martial arts novels, and he knew that some advanced martial arts would go crazy if he was in a hurry. Whether this "Dharma Heart Sutra" exercise is good or not, or step by step, steady and far-reaching.
So, after practicing for a while and feeling a little, he forcibly stopped and stopped practicing for the time being.
(Note: In order to seek a realistic effect, what is written here in this article is Tang's internal strength method, and I apologize.) The author's knowledge of Tang's internal strength is also very limited, and I only know that practicing this internal strength must be guided by the Master, otherwise it is easy to go mad. Readers should read it as a novel, and never imitate it. )
