Chapter Forty-Eight: Practicing the Mental Method
Liu Yunwen paused for a moment, picked up a yellowed book and two pieces of paper. She moved the oil lamp to the side, unfolded the two yellowed pieces of paper and looked at it under the lamp, the words on the paper had been blackened, as if it was written in blood, it should have been written by the woman before she died, she said that her husband died unfortunately two days earlier, he must still be waiting for himself on the bridge of Naihe, so he was also ready to go with him, but there was something on her mind, that is, she had used all her body and mind to study a set of practice methods that were almost completed, so she wanted to complete it in two days, although she would go with her husband, she still wanted to leave this set of mental methods in this world, Leave it to those who are destined for you, and you will not lose your own mastery. She settled her husband and came over here to complete the last section of this set of mental methods while practicing. I don't want to think that the next day, just when she was practicing to the key point, a golden python suddenly broke in, although the python did not hurt her in the end, but because she was suddenly frightened, she suddenly went crazy, and her lower body immediately couldn't move. At the last moment of her life, she finally completed this set of mental methods for cultivating internal strength.
It was only later that the situation was so bad that she couldn't pick up the pen when it fell on the ground, and she had to bite five fingers to write these two pages. Liu Yunwen subconsciously looked at her side, and sure enough, there was an inkstone box with a brush rolling aside. She also said, "You can come here and bow down in front of me, and you can see these two pages and this set of practice methods that have poured all my heart and soul into it, which shows that we are destined people." If it is a woman, she will bow to me, inherit my mantle, and practice this set of internal skills. If it is a man who deserves to be thankful, those martial arts secrets on the bookshelf are the highest skills of the major gangs on the rivers and lakes, and they can be read at will. In the end, I hope that someone who is destined can put himself and his husband together. It was never said who they were or what their names were.
Liu Yunwen was silent for a moment after reading it, although she didn't know who they were, what their names were, and what dynasty they were born in, it was also appropriate to help her fulfill this last wish.
Liu Yunwen respectfully bowed to her according to her wishes: "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice Yunwen." After the ceremony was completed, she put away the practice book, stood up and bowed to the woman again, and said, "Master, I will take you over and put it with my uncle, and I hope that you will not be separated for the rest of your life!" ”
Liu Yunwen carried Master's bones to the bedroom, put her on the stone bed, placed her with her husband, and covered them with a quilt. After doing all this, Di knelt down in front of the bed and bowed to them a few times, muttering, "Master, uncle, rest in peace." ”
Just as she was about to get up, a hole suddenly opened on the side of the stone bed, and a short sword with a leather sheath and a note fell from it, only to see four words written on the note, "Gift to destined people"! Liu Yunwen picked up the short sword and took it out to take a look, only to see that the short sword was black and shiny, shining with cold light under the lamp. The sword was not long, about seven or eight inches, small and beautiful, and she was very happy to see it and put it away.
Liu Yunwen walked out of the stone room and closed the door. It was cold in the cave, and it was estimated that it was the second half of the night. She walked back to the stone room where Master and they were practicing, and then she felt a little weak, and sat down at the stone table, her hunger and thirst made her very uncomfortable, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead for a while.
What's next? I was at a loss. She didn't know how long she could last, and now she didn't eat, drink, or get out, so she really waited here to die? It is said that it is a miracle that a person can survive for four days without water!
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, Liu Yunwen simply didn't think about anything and calmed down. She took out the book of internal strength and mental method that her master left for her, so that she would not think crankily. Master's words are very delicate, the first few pages are the mantras and key points for practicing internal strength, and the back are all drawings, which are the seven meridians and eight veins of the human body, and each acupuncture point and each meridian are connected with red threads, leading the practitioner to how to breathe in luck and walk the meridians.
Liu Yunwen has a super strong memory, and she usually can't finish reading books, she only read the mantra and key points twice and completely memorized it in her heart. The latter pictures are very accurate in drawing the meridian acupuncture points of the human body, and every time she sees an acupuncture point or a meridian, she can accurately feel the specific position on her body. After watching it a few times like this, you will be familiar with it. I thought that it would be okay anyway now, so I might as well try it according to the practice, so I sat down, just closed my eyes, and the picture appeared more clearly in front of me, so I guided the qi of the dantian to walk in the seven meridians and eight veins of the whole body according to the mantra.
After running around like this a few times, Liu Yunwen felt much better, and the unbearable hunger and thirst just now disappeared. She took out her phone and looked at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and it was already dawn.
The light shone into the cave from the hole at the top, and a few wisps of morning mist drifted through the cave. Liu Yunwen came to the cave outside, looked up, and saw bursts of thick fog drifting over the entrance of the cave, she estimated the location, this should be the top of the mountain.
She didn't know what she should do, she was bored in the cave and practiced the mind several times at night, and her spirit was much better today, and now her heart has calmed down, with a resigned mentality, and everything she is doing now has not changed at all. If you are really trapped here, it is better to be with the master and them than to die in the dark cave yesterday, at least you can see light here, blue sky, white clouds every day, and maybe the sun at noon.
As the sun rose outside the mountain, the cave became much brighter. Liu Yunwen walked along the stone wall by the cave several times, she was still unwilling to sit still, and carefully looked at every part of the stone wall, it was a smooth stone, the same as a knife, it was impossible to climb, and it was so high. She saw the green vines hanging in the middle of the hole, and if she could catch them, there might be hope of escaping, but was it possible? Those green vines were hanging in mid-air and were more than twenty meters high, and unless they could fly, it was impossible to catch those green vines.
Liu Yunwen sighed, and the hope of escape was completely shattered in her heart. She walked back to the stone room and sat for a while, feeling bored and uncomfortable, and stood up and walked to the bookshelf to find a book to read, the bookshelf has two rows, and the top of the first row is full of some music scores and calligraphy and paintings, she doesn't know much about these, so she picked up a few music scores and flipped through them and lost interest. Among them, there is a score of "Guangling San", she heard the music teacher say when she was in school, saying that this "Guangling San" is a famous song in ancient times, which has been lost for a long time, and many music and rhythm scholars have only heard its name, and have not seen its true face of Lushan, let alone be fortunate enough to hear this wonderful sound through the ages. I didn't expect to see this music score that many people have dreamed of seeing today.
Helplessly, Liu Yunwen couldn't understand the rhythm, so she just flipped through it and put it back on the bookshelf.
