Chapter 3: Cultivation
The warm sunlight shines through the densely intertwined bamboo forest, lazily sprinkled down, as if pouring broken gold on the ground, making people slightly dazzling.
Han Jiangli sat cross-legged on the ground, squinting his eyes, supporting his chin with his right hand, as if thinking about something, with a depressed expression.
"Why, I just can't cultivate qi in my body?"
Qi is the strength of all things on this continent, and it is also the source of cultivation for all races.
The qi of all things comes from the pure qi of nature, while the qi of the human body comes from the innate qi of the innate essence.
The two qi can be combined with each other and complement each other, which evolves into zongqi, that is, it becomes the "acquired qi". The acquired qi is a resource that every cultivator must cultivate, and only by cultivating the acquired qi can it be possible to evolve into immortal qi, and then become divine qi, so that he can live forever, and have the power to use qi to completely penetrate the heavens and turn mountains and seas.
However, there is no specific shape of qi, nor does it have a certain size, and it all depends on the amount of qi that the cultivator himself has cultivated. Some people are gifted and intelligent, and they can comprehend the truth in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so that they can better integrate the innate qi in their own body with the pure qi in nature, and they can cultivate more qi.
And some people with dull talents can't hook the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so they can only slowly start cultivating from the innate qi in their own body, and the qi they cultivate is naturally relatively small.
However, innate qi is the source of all things, and it naturally exists in all corners of the human body, waiting for everyone to discover it for themselves. However, the qi in the human body is not pure, and there are also a lot of turbid qi. Although this turbid qi will become pure as the monk cultivates the qi step by step, it will never be as pure and immaculate as the pure qi.
Although the pure qi of all things is also a part of the qi, it is incompatible with the turbidity in the human body. Pure qi is the power given by the spirit of all things, and it is the purest "qi", representing the avenue between heaven and earth, which is more pure than the innate qi in the human body. If you combine the pure qi with the innate qi, although you can get twice the result with half the effort, it is easy to leave many sequelae. Because the two qi cannot be completely combined, just like the two poles of yin and yang, they must reach a state of balance, and both sides are indispensable, otherwise they will be out of balance. Therefore, unless it is a person who has cultivated to an advanced level or is a person who is intelligent, and can flexibly and freely manipulate the qi in his body, ordinary monks do not dare to mobilize the pure qi and combine it with their innate qi.
And the innate qi in the human body, although it has turbidity, can gradually become pure with cultivation. Moreover, the innate qi is also the most important qi that accompanies the life of a monk, so the vast majority of monks who specialize in cultivating the innate qi.
But Han Jiangli does not belong to these two columns.
- There is no qi in his body at all.
When he was a baby, when he was picked up by the patriarch Han Qingfeng by the river in Anning Village, the patriarch found that there was no trace of qi in his body at all, and even thought that he was a corpse for a while, if he hadn't suddenly cried, the patriarch Han Qingfeng might have buried him.
The old man Han Qingfeng saw that Han Jiangli was hanging the jade pendant around his neck, although there was no wave in the ancient well, he could feel a trace of extraordinary mysterious power. There are three small characters engraved on it - "Han Jiangli", so he is called by this name.
Han Qingfeng has taken Han Jiangli with him since he was a child, and even treated him like a young grandson. And this made Han Rushan, the grandson of Han Qingfeng's old man, full of jealousy and unhappiness with Han Jiangli since he was a child, so he would bully Han Jiangli from time to time. But Han Jiangli is a small ghost, and he often relies on wisdom to trick Han Rushan to the point of being confused.
Although Han Jiangli is very smart and knows what to teach, his personality has been very stubborn since he was a child, and he often makes the people in the village restless, either secretly catching a chicken from someone else's house, or stealing a watermelon from someone else's watermelon field.
But everyone saw that he was still young, and he was also adopted by the patriarch, so they tolerated him everywhere. But the most infuriating thing was that after Han Jiangli stole a family's watermelon, he actually soaked in the cracked melon skin, closed the melon skin again, and put it back in the ground.
When the family picked melons and went home to eat them at night, they unfortunately picked this watermelon. After the family happily cut the melon, the pungent stench almost knocked the roof over.
Therefore, Han Jiangli has also been "hostile" to the villagers since then, far away and withdrawn from him everywhere, and the entire Anning Village does not even have a partner who can make friends with him.
And the most important thing is that every child in Anning Village has more or less a little qi in his body, which is normal, and when the child is generally twelve years old, he can already start to cultivate a trace of qi in his body, which is the best golden age. If you cultivate too early, your body may not be able to bear it, and if you cultivate too late, you will miss the best opportunity for qi growth. It's like a drop of water gathering the sea, and gathering sand into a tower. Just like Han Rushan, the grandson of Han Qingfeng's patriarch, the qi in his body has condensed a lot, far surpassing his peers, and even being the best in the entire Anning Village.
But in Han Jiangli's body, there is no trace of qi, and now he is twelve years old, he still has no qi, which means that he can't start cultivating in the golden age. This forced the villagers to look at him in a strange light, after all, they had never seen anyone without a little qi in their bodies.
For this reason, Han Jiangli has always been distressed, but he pretended not to care, and he didn't say anything, just jumping around the village every day, or tricking other children to get his own happiness.
But he still knows very well in his heart, he hopes that he can not be treated by others with colored glasses, and he also hopes that he has many partners.
"Why are others who travel through different worlds all successful people, sitting on beauties, pointing out the country, and I am a younger brother when I cross over!"
Han Jiangli raised his head and shouted unwillingly, and the birds hovering above the shaking bamboo forest were scared away.
In fact, Han Jiangli has another identity, and that is a traverser - from a distant and civilized earth.
But when it comes to the specific reason for crossing over, he himself doesn't know.
He could only vaguely remember a face like a fairy, with a shallow smile, but it was infinitely beautiful and fascinating.
But if you think about it deeply, you will inevitably have a headache.
He slowly pulled out a jade pendant from his chest. The jade pendant that looks simple and unpretentious is engraved with the words "Han Jiangli." ”
This jade pendant made thousands of thoughts flash in his heart for a while, but he couldn't grasp it.
Looking at this jade pendant, he felt a sense of strangeness, but also unexpectedly a sense of familiarity.
"Alas, I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it, the more annoyed I get!"
Han Jiangli sighed fiercely, it was not a way for him to complain like this, although he had no qi in his body, but he could not say that he would be able to cultivate as soon as he was lucky? And when he thought of the Qingfeng Patriarch's expectations for him, Han Jiang was also a little unbearable.
Holding unrealistic fantasies, Han Jiangli imitated the meditation method he had learned on TV before crossing over, squinted his eyes again, and began to "cultivate".
。。。。。。
"Will leave, will leave!"
"I'll go, who is called Xiaoye, I'm scared to death!"
A few sighs made his head tilted to the side, and the corners of his mouth dripped with a hara, and Han Jiangli, who was sleeping soundly, woke up suddenly.
He hurriedly looked back and looked around, just in time to meet Han Qingfeng's gaze.
"Stinky boy, I haven't called myself uncle yet, but you dare to call yourself master!"
Han Qingfeng reprimanded.
"Hehe, Grandpa Qingfeng, I'm the little master, you are naturally the big master, anyway, you are higher than me, aren't you?"
Han Jiangli was smiling at the garden, wanting to get by.
"Don't give me a flamboyant tongue, let me ask you, how are your cultivation results today? Can you feel the qi in your body?"
Old Man Han Qingfeng asked with great concern.
"Hey, yet, not yet. ”
Han Jiangli was a little embarrassed, twisting the corners of his clothes with his fingers, shyly like a little girl.
"What? It's been a week, and you still haven't achieved anything? Tell me honestly, have you been sleeping here for me all day long, and you haven't cultivated at all?!"
Han Qingfeng's old man's beard was all open, and he couldn't wait to go up and slap Han Jiangli's ass! This stinky boy was full of sweet words before, swearing that he would cultivate hard, but as soon as he came, he bumped into him napping!
"Don't, don't! Grandpa Qingfeng, I really can't cultivate!"
Seeing this, Han Jiangli hurriedly shook his hand and shouted.
"Hmph, you stinky boy, why is your brain so bright when you're usually a whole person!
"Grandpa Qingfeng, this, this is different!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you must stimulate the qi in your body for me within this month, otherwise you won't want to call me grandpa again!"
Han Qingfeng flicked his long sleeves, turned his back, and no longer looked at Han Jiangli.
"But, Grandpa Qingfeng, you clearly know that I have no qi in my body since I was a child, and everyone else has qi, but you let others use the method of cultivating qi for me to cultivate, isn't this pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, and doing more is useless?
“。。。 ”
Han Qingfeng was speechless, indeed, Han Jiangli was a special case, but he always asked him to cultivate like others. It is true that others are indeed existences with qi in their bodies, but Han Jiangli is not, others cultivate qi and grow the qi in their bodies step by step, but Han Jiangli is different, he wants to create qi and generate qi in his own body. But he was also very helpless, because it was the first time he had encountered such a special existence as Han Jiangli, and he didn't know what to do, so he let Han Jiangli practice like everyone else, but ignored the fact that there was no qi in his body.
Under Han Jiangli's gaze, Han Qingfeng pondered for a while, and finally raised his head, frowned, and said as if he had made a lot of determination
"You come with me. ”
