Chapter 2 The heart is like a child
It took a long time to understand that Li Longji had three Taoist priests here, and it turned out that he wanted to ask the immortals about the cultivation method.
Xiao Quzhi put on his clothes again, and just now Wu Yun, the old Taoist priest of Maoshan who didn't cultivate, actually begged to take a look at the wound on Xiao Quai's shoulder. How can Xiao Qu be injured when he is sick? His internal kung fu has long been practiced to the point of dark energy, the pores of his skin bulge and shrink outward, and the scars left after the wound has long been practiced.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yun couldn't see the wound, but he was even more sure that Xiao Qu's illness was a half-immortal body. He almost said in a trembling voice, a little incredulous: "Holding the camp and hugging one, can it be inseparable?" Domineering and soft, can you be like a baby? Is there really anyone in the world who has reached such a state? ”
Wu Yun stood up excitedly, saluted Li Longji, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you see, the Hou of Shouchang County is twenty years old, but his skin is more delicate and soft than that of a newborn baby. The unity of the god and the form, the gathering of essence to achieve the softest, to reach the baby's desireless state. The eyes are clear and clear, bright as stars, the breath is soft and long, and the heart is free of distractions like a child.
Your Majesty, you are far away, you didn't smell it, Shouchang County Hou was dusty all the way, but there was no smell of sweat, but he exuded an extremely good smell of newborn babies all over his body. Chen is over ninety years old, and he has never encountered such an immortal bone, a half-immortal body! ”
This is a passage in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", Xiao Qu has also learned it, the main meaning is that people who cultivate the Tao (practice martial arts) must always be one with the spirit and **, and they can't be ape and horse, the body is here, but the thoughts run to the edge of the sky; Be like a baby, so that the body can remain in the perfect state when it was born, even if it is dozens of years old.
Wu Yun's previous words were not strange that Xiao Qu was sick, but he said that he was over 90 years old, which made Xiao Qu sick quite surprised. At first, I thought he was only fifty or sixty years old, and he looked like a fairy-like bone, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously very good at kung fu.
Xiao Xuanyu of the Louguan School looks like he is in his forties, his two eyes are equally shining, and his whole temperament is cold and arrogant and sharp, and he may be a master of swords. Li Mi is a bit like a firework that doesn't eat the world, he looks very thin, and he should be the worst kung fu among the three.
Hearing Wu Yun say this, Li Longji was also excited, but he didn't really come over as a self-conscious person, and asked from afar: "I don't know if this is born or cultivated?" ”
"The name of the Hou of Shouchang County is to go to the disease, and he also said that he has been sick since he was a child, and he must have cultivated it the day after tomorrow." Wu Yun knew what the emperor meant, Li Longji asked him many times how to cultivate, and he told the emperor that this was done by people in the mountains and wilderness, and it was not that the emperor said it was appropriate. He hurriedly helped the emperor ask: "I don't know how the Marquis of Shouchang County cultivated?" ”
Xiao Quzhi asked rhetorically, "How did Mr. Zong Xuan cultivate?" ”
"It's nothing more than meditation to get rid of irritability, self-cultivation, inaction, meditation and luck." Wu Yun said.
Xiao Xuanyu of the Louguan faction saw Xiao Quai's illness and looked at him, and said proudly: "Day and night, the Taoist guidance technique and longitudinal technique are constantly cold and hot. ”
Li Mi said: "I am similar to Mr. Zong Xuan. ”
Xiao Quzhi stood up and said, "I entered the Tao with martial arts, and I also practiced my mind. ”
Xiao Qubing explained and made movements: "Our school is called Tai Chi School, and there are five cultivation steps, the first is to stand on the pile, the first to stand on the three-year pile, first the Wuji pile, and then the yin and yang pile...... Then there is the practice of strength, first of all, we must hold the strength, that is, to close the pores of the whole body, so that the vitality does not leak out, and then practice the strength of the whole body, limbs, waist and hips, dantian, etc......
The third step is to push the hand, practice listening and understanding, listening is the ability to perceive the change of the opponent's strength, and understanding is to make the most reasonable response to the strength of hearing...... The fourth step is the routine, and I only have one set of Tai Chi and one set of Xiantian Tai He now...... Finally, the battle is a real combat practice. Of course, all cultivation must be coordinated with the practice of the mind, turning essence into qi, qi into spirit, and practicing spirit to return to emptiness. ”
After Xiao Qu's illness was explained, he also practiced his kung fu all over again and sorted it out by the way. At this time, the entire Zichen Hall was very lively, first the air was whirring, then the muscles and bones were ringing, the thunder was in hand, the whole hall was like thunder, and then it was like a golden toad, and finally the strong wind brought out by the palms and bodies blew everyone's clothes whirring. Everyone in the hall was stunned, and the guards on duty outside the hall were terrified when they heard it.
After hundreds of years of inheritance and development of countless ancestors, it finally reached a peak at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and various theories became extremely systematic and perfect. This is like using the incomparably perfect and systematic chemistry knowledge in the school to compare with Aliyi's chemistry prototype, and naturally compare the other party; In addition, Xiao Qubing has an incomparably perfect and powerful body after passing through the wormhole, and he has cultivated to such a high level in a short period of time, otherwise it would not be enough to have a theory alone.
After Xiao Quzhi practiced two sets of boxing and one set of toad fishing, his whole body was steaming, like a big boiler boiling water, and his skin was red, but he still couldn't see the slightest sweat. Seeing Li Longji's somewhat stunned expression, Xiao Quzhi secretly thought that he would cooperate with Li Longji like this, and do whatever he was called, whether he could be regarded as a courtier.
But if you can make Li Longji happy, let him put more effort into government affairs, even if he is a traitor. But then I thought about it, so he seems to be even more uninterested in politics, isn't he bent on pursuing immortality? Whatever, if he wants to change anything, he must at least gain enough influence first.
"Shouchang County Hou!" Wu Yun was a little shocked and a little worried. The shock is because Xiao Quai's set of exercises is indeed very powerful, and it doesn't sound very difficult to practice, but the worry is that the emperor will be obsessed with it and become even more tired of the government. But he had to ask Li Longji again: "How long have you been cultivating, is it difficult?" ”
Xiao Quzhi said: "Since I was five years old until now, I have been practicing hard for at least four hours a day, and the cold and heat are also constant. But the most important thing is the same as what Mr. Zong Xuan said, you must meditate, empty your mind, and your heart must be pure, without a trace of distractions. ”
Wu Yun was happy: "What if you can't calm your mind and your heart is not pure, such as being in a life where things are complicated and the colors are blurred?" ”
Xiao Quzhi cooperated: "Naturally, you can't make an inch, and it's useless to cultivate for a hundred years." ”
As soon as Xiao Qu's words were finished, Wu Yun and Li Yu were secretly relieved, and Xiao Xuanyu had an expression that didn't care about himself. On the other side, Li Longji looked disappointed but silent, and Yang Guifei looked at Li Longji with affectionate eyes as if she was comforting him.
Wu Yun continued to ask: "If you can calm your mind, your heart is pure, and you can continue to be cold and hot for decades, can you live forever?" ”
Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "Of course, you can't live forever, at most, you can strengthen your body, be disease-free, live to be a hundred years old and not look old, and you will eventually die." ”
After a pause, Xiao Quzhi continued: "However, the most powerful thing in our faction is not this, but profound knowledge. Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report! ”
