Chapter 4: The Essence of the Sun and the Moon
Listening to such a large paragraph, Yi Ming heard it in the clouds, and after careful consideration, he felt that he had comprehended something, as if it was a flower in a mirror, and he couldn't catch the moon in the water, this feeling was very mysterious.
Huang Qi saw Yi Ming close his eyes and think, and finally opened his eyes again, and said with a smile: "You finally woke up." ”
"Woke up? Didn't I just think about it for a moment? It didn't feel like it long. Yi Ming was puzzled.
"Haha, you've been meditating with your eyes closed for half an hour, and it seems that you do have talent. ”
"Half an hour," Yi Ming himself was taken aback, he did feel like he had gone to a wonderful world, but it was only a matter of moments.
"Alas, cultivating to become an immortal is like a long road," Huang Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Some people walk in front, some people are behind, some people walk fast, some people stagnate, and every step is to the sky, which is extremely difficult." It takes not only a lot of patience, unyielding determination, but also talent. ”
"And what about my talent?" Yi Ming hurriedly asked.
"Your talent in qi cultivation is okay," Huang Qi looked at Yi Ming for a moment before saying, "But your talent in refining your body is even better, especially after the bloodline in your body is stimulated." ”
"Then what is the difference between refining the body and refining the qi?" Yi Ming listened to the refining of the body and the cultivation of the qi for so long, and finally asked this key question.
"Although these two paths lead to the same goal, there are still some differences. Huang Qi continued to explain, he seemed to like Yi Ming very much, so he told him all he knew, "Just like the mantra I read to you, it is to constantly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and the moon will not be revealed, but the method is a little different. ”
Huang Qi paused for a moment and continued: "Refining the body is to directly absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and strengthen your body, but this kind of power is very violent, and the body of ordinary people is simply unbearable, I am afraid that as soon as you absorb it, you will explode and die, only people like you who have the blood of a great god and are born strong can." ”
"In this case, Qi cultivation is to breathe in the gentler aura between heaven and earth into the body?" Yi Ming seemed to understand a little.
"Exactly, the practice of qi is to breathe and exhale, to coarse and store essence, and to introduce the truly useful aura to run the meridians of the whole body and return to the dantian, the more essence in the dantian, the stronger it will be. Huang Qi smiled with satisfaction when he saw that Yi Ming was so smart.
"So that is the achievement of refining the body more than the cultivation of qi?"
"It can be said that the body refining body is getting stronger and stronger, and the divine consciousness of the qi practitioner will become stronger and stronger after refining the qi and transforming the god, and it is difficult to compare. Huang Qi sighed, "But although it is a congenital decision, it still depends on the accumulation and hard work of the day after tomorrow, otherwise no matter how good the talent is, if you don't work hard, it will just be wasteland." ”
"Is it possible to refine the body and cultivate the qi at the same time? Isn't this the best of both worlds?" Yi Ming put forward his own opinion.
"Yes, yes, but if you take care of two things at the same time, the result is more of a half-ass, or focus on one side, in order to achieve better. Huang Qi also smiled when he heard Yi Ming's thoughts, and then said solemnly, "Especially you, it can be said that there is only one year left, and within this year, you must focus on refining your body and make your bloodline more powerful in order to defeat the skull." ”
"Yes!" Yi Ming finally understood, stood up, and saluted Huang Qi respectfully: "I heard Brother Huang's advice today, which made me suddenly open, please accept my worship." ”
Huang Qi did not stand up, but sat upright and accepted Yi Ming's bow.
After imparting these cultivation experiences to Yi Ming, Huang Qi took his leave and left Yi Cheng, and told Yi Ming that he could go to Jiu'an Mountain outside the Jiuli tribe to find him in the future.
After bidding farewell to Huang Qi, Yi Ming felt that the conversation with Huang Qi was very profitable, and he only had about a year to go, in addition to finding a capable person to rescue him, he still had to rely on himself to step up his cultivation. The skull in his blood is like a thunderbolt that may explode at any time, which makes him feel very uncomfortable, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.
After another two days, Yi Yuan finally took care of the affairs of the Yi tribe, temporarily handed over the tribe to his own brother, that is, Yi Ming's second uncle Yi Quan, and set off to the summer capital with Yi Ming and a few retinues.
The summer capital is about 2,000 miles away from the Yi tribe, and Yi Ming has been riding horses since he was a child, and he has never been accustomed to riding in carriages, so he rode side by side with his father, and more than ten horseback riding followers.
Since he learned from Huang Qi that his father was a very hidden master, Yi Ming has been pestering his father for the past two days, and he has asked his father about refining his body whenever he has time.
Since I had a long talk with my father last night, I learned that my father had always let him practice swords and lift stones, which was to lay a good foundation, and only when the foundation was stable would the house be solid.
This is not boring on the road, the group is moving forward unhurriedly, Yi Ming took this opportunity to ask again: "Father, how can I sense the essence of the sun and the moon, I bask in the sun every day, look at the moon, and I never feel anything." ”
Yi Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw his son suddenly asking: "In fact, when you are basking in the sun, you have unconsciously absorbed the essence of the sun, but it is very small, and what you need to do is to meditate, imagine that the sun is around you, and sense the sun with all your heart. ”
"Induction?" Yi Ming was a little confused, the sun is in the sky every day, and it can be seen when you raise your eyes, but what should you do if you want to sense?
"In fact, it is to establish some kind of connection, speaking of which, the beast has a stronger sense of the essence of the sun and the moon than humans, which is also the reason why the beasts are stronger than humans, and it is also why those ancient gods are all human-headed beast bodies, or beast-headed human bodies. Therefore, we or other tribes often learn to dance like wild beasts and worship the sun and the moon, which is also to establish some kind of connection with the sun and the moon. ”
"I see. Only then did Yi Ming understand why when he was a child when he watched the sorcerers in the tribe worship the sun, why did he dance something that he didn't know how to dance at all, but now that he thinks about it, it really looks like he is imitating bears, tigers and other fierce beasts.
After Yi Ming listened, he looked up at the big sun hanging in the sky, and after a while, he fell into a trance, and suddenly felt that the sun that he could see every day was very different at this time, extremely powerful and incredible.
Yi Yuan saw that his son suddenly stopped his horse and looked at the sun, and he actually entered a meditative state like this, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to signal his entourage to stop, not letting them interrupt his son's rare epiphany.
That's right, at this time, Yi Ming really entered a state of epiphany, and he felt that the sun was getting bigger and hotter, as if it was flying towards him, as if it was within reach. And the mantra that Huang Qi passed on to himself also flowed in his heart at this time, "The moon hides the jade rabbit and the day hides the black, and there are turtles and snakes coiled together." I feel that the sun is transmitting a kind of energy all the time, and although I can't see it now, I can feel that my body is constantly receiving this energy, making my body warm and comfortable.
"It's an amazing feeling. After a long time, Yi Ming woke up from meditation and enjoyed this mysterious feeling.
"Wu'er is really good, he has mastered the trick so quickly and absorbed the essence of the sun. Yi Yuan was also very happy to see his son's success, "But you must remember that the essence of the sun is just to the yang, you can't absorb too much at the beginning, otherwise you will explode and die, only step by step, at the same time, you need to absorb the power of Taiyin at night, and the harmony of yin and yang can achieve better results." ”
"Yes, father, the child remembers his father's teachings. ”
"Well," Yi Yuan saw that his son was not complacent because he had absorbed the sun essence, this was what he was most worried about, too much sun essence absorption would not only affect the body, but also affect the human mind, making the person's personality irritable. Seeing that this did not happen to his son, he was relieved.
"You are still just getting started, after absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, how to refine these essences into the body's blood veins, acupoints, fill your whole body, and how to blend water and fire, yin and yang, how to ask the entrance.... Alas, there is still a long way to go!" Yi Yuan continued to introduce his son to the long road of cultivation.
"Don't worry, father, I will try to go down this road. Although Yi Ming also felt that there was a long way to go, he still said tenaciously.
"That's good," Yi Yuan was very pleased and nodded, "The treasure house of books in the Great Xia Palace contains the world's strange books, I can ask His Majesty Xia Houzhu for instructions, let you go in and watch, and choose the most suitable cultivation method for you to cultivate, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
"Then thank you, father. Yi Ming said excitedly. The monarch of the Xia Dynasty, known as the queen, only after his death, was called the emperor, and now the Xia Houzhu, is the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the fifth generation of the descendants of Emperor Yu, when Taikang lost the country, the Xia Dynasty regime was controlled by the leader of the poor clan Hou Yi, and then after several wars, there was a later Shaokang Zhongxing, Shaokang's son is now Xia Houzhu. And the Youyi tribe fully supported Shaokang to regain the country at the beginning, so the relationship between Daxia and the Youyi clan was very good.
"That's right, father," Yi Ming suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to his father: "That night, I watched Brother Huang Qi and them fighting with the skeletons, and suddenly a man in black came, I felt ......"
"Do you think that man in black has a background?" Yi Yuan naturally understood his son's thoughts, "Huang Qi also told me about this, although he didn't say it explicitly, but I also understood what he meant, and he also thought that the man in black was from our Yi City." ”
"Yes, yes, that's what it feels like. Yi Ming was injured and in a coma before, and after waking up, he only took care of the cultivation method, and he left this matter behind, and now he suddenly remembered it. At that time, the skeleton was chased for thousands of miles, but it stopped near Yicheng, and there was someone there to help, maybe that person was a spy hidden in Yicheng.
But who was that man? He didn't make a sound, and he couldn't recognize him just by looking at his figure.
"If it's someone hiding around us, then it's troublesome, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, only be vigilant, let him leak himself. Yi Yuan pondered, "You don't have to worry too much now, what if the man in black just happened to come from somewhere else in the north?"
"Okay. Yi Ming nodded, and didn't think about it anymore.
Everyone continued to hurry, and on the way, Yi Ming took time out of the day to try to sense the sun and absorb the essence of the sun, and at night he absorbed the essence of the moon to reconcile his yin and yang, while Yi Yuan forcibly ordered Yi Ming to only absorb one hour a day and night, so as not to be greedy and chew too much.
According to Yi Yuan's words, don't think about becoming a big fat man in one bite, every time you absorb it, what can be transformed into your own energy is your own, otherwise if you eat a tiger, won't you have the power of a tiger?
After more than ten days of day and night absorption, Yi Ming felt that his body was like a container, he could absorb more and more every day, and his body was getting stronger and stronger. Until they finally reached the summer capital.
The capital of Great Xia, the original city!
