Chapter 14 Teaching
After waiting for Uncle Shi for about ten minutes, Uncle Shi walked out, with three half-meter-long cuts on his clothes, and his right hand was covered with blood. The corners of the mouth are also a little, which should have been brushed. I shook my head solemnly at my master. My master nodded.
Then I handed Xiaoqi to my uncle and let us go away. Then he watched the master hastily bury the hole, threw a few talismans, and then held the soil. Pressed it. Then he held hands and walked down the mountain.
Master and Uncle didn't say a word the whole time, but I could feel the anger from the trembling of Master's hand holding me.
After returning home, the two of them went to Xiaoqi's house and didn't let me follow. In the past few days, I have been nervous, and after rescuing Xiaoqi, I relaxed for a while, and I fell asleep.
At half past four the next day, Master came to my house and called me up to formally teach me the Dao.
Master took me to a small forest and found a clearing. It was not yet dawn, and the woods were stumbling and damp.
"If you want to cultivate the Dao, you must first exercise your body, otherwise you will not be able to support the Dao at all. Do you understand? Master said to me.
"Yes!" I promised, won't it be like Monkey King? You want to throw me in the furnace to forge it, right? I was a little apprehensive.
"Xiaokang, what I am teaching you now is the "Sixteen Golden Ingots", you must practice it well. Remember that the formula is 'Lift it when you suck it up, and return to the umbilicus with breath; When you mention it, you will swallow it, and you will see each other with fire and water'. This kind of exercise is simple and wonderful, and the words are like gold, so the Dan family calls it "sixteen ingots of gold". β
"Dan's family?" "Yes, it is left by the Dan family of the medical lineage."
"Master, I didn't understand." I looked at Master seriously and asked. Because the naΓ―ve thought that if he knew it, he would become an immortal.
"When it is specifically applied, the essentials of his movements can be changed according to different purposes, and they can come in handy when practicing the key steps of Dan Dao cultivation, and they all have miraculous effects. In addition to the Dan family, you can use this exercise to lay a good foundation for you. The key method is to inhale from the will ** upward contraction, as if the qi is inhaled from the perineum to the navel, the genitals are retracted in front of the genitals, and the back is contracted *** just like holding the urine and urine. β
Then slowly swallow the saliva, send it to the navel, lift the breath you just inhaled with the navel as the center, hold the breath for half a minute, and if necessary, you can use both hands to make fists and hit the back waist and front abdomen to shock the bone marrow. Then relax your whole body and resume abdominal breathing. Practice this repeatedly, and usually raise the anus when urinating, clench your teeth and maintain this posture until the end of urinating. The recipes include those who are nervous and exerting force, those who lift lightly and swallow lightly, those who do continuous exercises, and those who pause in the middle, all of which can be used randomly. β
After that, Master began to ask me to take a step, and then told me to get some saliva, swallow it with a sound, and then do as he just said.
"Master, my thigh muscles are very sore, and I can't hold on." I really didn't have that much energy, and after a few minutes, I couldn't hold on.
"Well-off. Come and sit down, and I'll talk to you about something. Master pointed to the open space in front of him. So I did.
"The sixteen gold ingots that Master taught you just now, you have to stick to it all the time, anytime, anywhere, you know?" I looked at the master and nodded, Tang Seng went through a lot of hardships to become a Buddha. I understand that there is nothing in the world where you don't give and you get something back.
"Master is leaving today, you have to go to school and study culture classes well. You can't stop practicing without me watching, come, this is a gift from Master before leaving. Master touched my head and pulled out a book.
Master is leaving? The relationship that has just been established is about to leave, and I am a little reluctant. As a result, the old man's words made me think, hurry up, go as far as you want!
What the master said was: "Xiaokang, this Tao Te Ching, without delaying your cultural class, before you graduate from primary school, you have to copy it 1,500 times, and if you don't do it again, I will make you regret it for several years, do you believe that I have this ability?" After saying that, the obscene old man smiled wickedly!
Fifteen hundred times? So thick? Five years? It's only over 300 days a year, and that's not the rhythm of copying a book every day. Oh my God!
"Master, it's okay to copy until you die, but you have to tell me why." I don't understand. Can this book copy a flower?
"When you build a house, you also have to lay the foundation, right? Sometimes it takes three years to build a building, but it takes two years just to lay the foundation. Do you understand the importance of foundations? "Master asked me an example.
"Yes." I promised, and in fact began to mourn the years of my schooling. I absolutely believe that lewd old man has a way to rectify me in the future!
"Let's go, go home, I won't send you. I went straight away. Master said lightly.
Although I have only been in contact for a few days, I know that he is not good at sensationalism. Maybe it's just that I hate separation, and then being seen by my apprentice only adds to the embarrassment. I understand that he is my master, and although I also want to send him, I can't help but give face to my master, I nodded. After thinking about it, Master gave me so much, and I didn't have anything to give. So he took off a crystal that he was wearing with the red rope that he had been wearing since he was a child, and handed it to the master.
This red rope was covered with ash by me, and I couldn't tell it was red, it was jet black, and Master didn't dislike it. I took it and put it away carefully. "Well-off sensible, remember that in school, don't let people know that you are an emperor, and don't let people know your previous experience, you are still young, after school, they compare, you can do yourself silently. Remember Master's words, don't let people know the origin of your master's bones, put the stones away and don't take half a step out of the door, you go. β
After saying that, the master turned around, I thought about it, knelt down, kowtowed, turned around and ran home, although I don't know why I was sad, but I still wanted to cry sadly.
To copy, you must first recognize the words, but fortunately, there are not many words in the Tao Te Ching. There are only 5284 words. Before school started, I was honest too. Every day, I read and write with my mother. My mother didn't understand the meaning of these words either, and just told me to listen to Master. Then, in his spare time, he practiced the so-called "Sixteen Golden Spindles". I didn't feel better, because I just felt like I could eat a lot, but I just didn't grow meat.
Occasionally, I think of Master and the things in the cave. I still can't figure out what Uncle Shi did in the cave? Why does it hurt? And Master and Uncle seem to have been avoiding the things in that cave. Even the Soul Nourishing Jar told me, why didn't you mention anything about the things in the cave? With these questions, the days passed.
Until this day, I began to get excited in my heart, and even had a hint of anticipation. Tomorrow is the start of preschool. I heard that there are a lot of friends in it, it's very fun, I fantasize, in school, what kind of excitement will it be?
