Chapter 9: Suffering
Yang Yu was a little scared of the pain that would tear his body! But now that he heard that the old man had asked him to endure it, saying that it was of great benefit to him, Yang Yu almost wanted to cry without tears! The old man of the Nine Crows was dead, and even if he couldn't hold on, no one would pull out that true qi for him, what should he do?
"Am I really not physically qualified for cultivation?, but why does Mr. Yang still want to inject true qi into my body?" Yang Yu asked.
"The master has a deep meaning in doing things, child, you just bear with it, maybe you can really understand it? If you feel that it is too painful, drink the medicine I cook every day, it will be better!" The old man looked at Yang Yu with pity, Yang Yu looked like a child, he was already a teenager when he knew it, and his body's resistance was obviously much stronger than Yang Yu at that time.
"Child, do you say your name is Yang Yu?" the old man asked him.
"What word?" Yang Yu asked in surprise.
The old man looked at him very strangely and said: "Table words, my Dajin people, in addition to having a name and surname, must also have a table word, how can a person not have a table word?"
Yang Yu thought for a while and said, "My father called me by my nickname Haisheng!
The old man looked at him strangely and said, "It doesn't make sense! Why do you have all the truth of the sky and the sea?"
Yang Yu shook his head and said: "I haven't studied, I don't know these things, but this is what my father gave me, so let's use it as a table word, is it that my surname is Yang Mingyu in the future, and the word Haisheng?"
The old man shook his head with a wry smile and said to him: "Haisheng, you can stand here with me in the future, and wait until the true qi in your body opens up for you, okay?"
Yang Yu has nowhere to go anyway, and now it's not bad here, although the old man is old, he can see that he is a good person, so he nodded.
So Yang Yu lived in a cave in the valley basin with the old man in the next few days, where the four seasons are like spring, and the surrounding environment is elegant and it is also a good place to live in seclusion, but Yang Yu is a little worse than death every day!
It's not that he is uncomfortable, but the Mixed Yuan True Aura in his body, which attacks on time every day and every hour! Every time it will drill into his body, the most important thing is in the position of his lower abdomen, and then there are other positions in the five organs! Every time it will make Yang Yu feel painful!
The first few times this kind of pain broke out, it would definitely make Yang Yu faint, and after he fainted, it didn't hurt anymore! But the old man specially boiled herbs for him and fed him to drink, so after a few times, he didn't faint, so the pain was even worse!
Yang Yu felt that it was better not to drink the herbs that the old man boiled for him, and every time he fainted, he could still avoid the sin of that pain, but now he had to experience this pain all the way, which really made him hate the ten thousand herbs incomparably.
In fact, the bowl of herbs was not completely ineffective, at least he kept his consciousness clear, and the old man told him that the true qi in his body was clearing his mind, but it had caused great damage to his internal organs, and the herbs could heal this kind of injury, except for the pain-relieving effect.
In desperation, Yang Yu still twisted his nose and drank the medicine!
More than two months have passed, and for more than two months, Yang Yu has been tormented by the true qi in his body, his body has lost a whole circle, his expression is extremely haggard, his two eye sockets are black, and his lips are full of blood marks from his own bite!
In order to alleviate his pain, the old man had to run a long way to pick herbs for him every day, Yang Yu saw the old man's hunched back with white hair, and his heart was unbearable, but when he was not in pain, the old man would move the books left by the old man of the Nine Crows, teach Yang Yu to read and read, and also told Yang Yu about some of the things he had heard from the master for more than two hundred years, which also made Yang Yu not feel that life was difficult.
The old man of the Nine Crows has a lot of books, roughly estimated to have thousands of volumes, many of them are ancient books, at a glance you know that the age is long, according to the classification of the subset of scriptures and history, the scope is also relatively wide, and there are many notes among them, all of which are written by some strange people and the exam! These strange people are very famous in ancient times according to the description of the old man!
What are these "everyone!" Yang Yu didn't know any of them, he hadn't heard of any of them, he was completely listening to the old man, and every time he was respected by these so-called "everyone!", probably under the influence of his master.
As a cultivator, the old man of the Nine Crows naturally also keeps some books on cultivation, but this is relatively rare, thinking that it is difficult for mortals to cultivate the Tao, and I don't know how many people's dreams of cultivating the Tao have been blocked once they have passed the trick, but anyone who can really practice is naturally the kind of person with the highest talent, and these people will not leave any works in many cases!
According to the elder's explanation, that is, a lot of spiritual experience is the kind of thing that can only be understood but not spoken, and writing it will lead future generations astray, isn't that harmful to others and oneself?
While the old man explained the books to Yang Yu, he was also teaching him to read and write, which was promised to him at the beginning, in fact, Yang Yu was not illiterate, but the words in this world are obviously not so simple, there are many comparisons, the writing is cumbersome, and the words are ridiculous! If there is no explanation from the old man, Yang Yu really can't understand these words.
Fortunately, his foundation is still there, and he compared the things he originally knew to the current words, and slowly he also found some rules and similarities, once he can understand these words, then he will be able to understand those books.
Now Yang Yu has a book like this in his hand, of course, it is the kind of monastic book he is most interested in, called "A Preliminary Study of Taixuan Induction", this is a basic book of monasticism, which was originally found by the old man of the Nine Crows to read the old man, but now he is bringing it to Yang Yu to see!
In fact, this book is not very much, only a few thousand words, but it roughly explains some of the processes that need to be experienced by cultivating the Tao, and this is the process that all cultivators in the world must go through!
Those who have excellent physical qualifications and are able to cultivate the Tao are called the first step in entering the path of cultivation: First Perception!
The meaning of this "initial perception" is very clear, that is, through one's own cultivation, to absorb the kind of true spiritual vitality in heaven and earth, and then absorb it into one's own dantian qi sea, with the cultivation of time, this true spiritual vitality will continue to be compressed, and the more true spiritual vitality stored in the body, the deeper the skill!
Ordinary people take a breath, which already contains the true spiritual vitality within the heaven and earth, but you can't feel it, since you can't feel it, then how can you store it in your own dantian qi sea?
After Yang Yu knew this, he finally understood why the "general know-how" was so important to ordinary people with poor qualifications, and it seemed that the suffering he had suffered was still worth it.
