Chapter 11: Qi Alchemy

I don't know if it's because of wearing the Soul Locking Jade, I feel that my physique is much better than before. After 50 laps, I didn't feel too tired, I just sweated.

Zhang Guanshan saw that I had finished fifty laps, so he asked me to wash up and change into clean clothes. After serving incense to Master Zu and then having breakfast, Zhang Guanshan took me to the room full of props, "Lin Xi, have you memorized all the charms in that book?" ”

"The disciples have all memorized!" I nodded in response.

"Okay, then you can draw a talisman to ward off evil spirits!" The evil charm is the simplest of the entire charms.

"Yes!" I confidently walked to the table, picked out a pen of the right size from the pen holder, and scooped some cinnabar from the jar into the inkstone. After dipping a pen in a little cinnabar, draw an ice charm on the cut gold table paper. I thought that the charm had been memorized and that it should be easy to draw, but I didn't expect that it would be easy to move the pen but it was extremely difficult, as if the pen had a thousand gold weights, which curbed my movement of the pen. I didn't know why, so I looked at Zhang Guanshan for help, but he said expressionlessly: "Don't stop, continue!" ”

I had to grit my teeth and continue, the more I got to the back, the more difficult it became, and in the end, it took almost all my strength to move even a millimeter. By the time I had finished drawing a talisman, I sat down on the ground in collapse as if I had just been fished out of the water.

Zhang Guanshan glanced at me, picked up the rune paper I had just drawn on the table and looked at it, with a faint smile on his face, "The spell I drew for the first time already has some mana, not bad!" Hearing Zhang Guanshan say this, a touch of joy and pride climbed up my cheeks in my heart.

"Lin Xi, do you know why it seems like a simple evil talisman to draw it, but it is so difficult for you to draw?" Zhang Guanshan put the charm on the table and turned to me to ask. I remembered what Zhang Guanshan said on the train, and I guessed the reason: "Master, because I am just painting this charm." There is no mantra blessing and no telekinesis to complement it, which is why it feels so difficult! ”

Zhang Guanshan nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the deeper the Tao, the easier it is to draw a charm." To practice Taoism, you have to practice mindfulness. You can't practice Taoism without telekinesis! ”

"Master, how can you practice mental power?" I asked curiously.

"Mental power is also spiritual power, and practicing mental power is to practice your spiritual power in other words! Lin Xi, what do you think this is? Zhang Guanshan took out a paper crane from a drawer and put it in front of me.

"Paper Crane!" I answered truthfully. Zhang Guanshan nodded and continued: "Yes, this is a paper crane!" But it's also a crane! ”

"Spirit crane?" I wondered.

"Not bad!" Zhang Guanshan smiled faintly and said, "You have a good look! After speaking, he held three fingers, stretched out his middle finger and index finger, and said to the paper crane, "Go!" The crane raised its head, flapped its wings and flew out the door!

I was speechless by the scene in front of me, this is simply the mythical world in my mind! I looked at Zhang Guanshan with admiration, when will I be as powerful as my master!

Zhang Guanshan seemed to know what I was thinking, he patted my head and said, "Lin Xi, as long as you practice hard, it won't be long before you can surpass your master!" Keep this talisman as a souvenir! You first memorize the contents of "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note" and "Tao Te Ching", and then the master will teach you to practice telekinesis! Remember, the Tao Te Ching cannot be memorized in the same way that you memorize the texts when you go to school, but you must read it so that its content is naturally imprinted in your sea of knowledge. Remember? ”

"Yes, the disciple remembered!" I folded the amulet I drew into a triangle and put it in my breast pocket. I went to the room and took out the "Tao Te Ching" and studied it carefully, "The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is very Tao." The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. The beginning of the nameless world; The mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire to observe the wonder; There is often a desire to observe it. These two have the same name and different names, the same name is the mystery, the mystery is mysterious, and the door of all wonders ...... "The first time I just read it but can't understand the meaning, so it is very laborious to read, and I don't leave a word in my mind after reading it again." After reading it for the second time, some words and phrases naturally remained in my mind as Zhang Guanshan said. After reading it for the third time, the contents of the book have already been left. When I finished reading the Tao Te Ching for the fourth time, I had all the contents of the Tao Te Ching imprinted in my mind, and I stretched my waist for a long time, but when I looked up, I found that it was already dark outside. I was shocked to realize that I read the Tao Te Ching for a day, and what surprised me even more was that during this period, I didn't get a drop of water, I didn't eat a grain of rice, and I didn't feel thirsty or hungry.

"I didn't expect you to memorize the whole book in just one day, and you also understood the qi in it! Sure enough, the speed at which people who are born psychic practice the Dao is incomparable to ordinary people! Zhang Guanshan's slightly emotional voice came, and I quickly stood up, thinking in my heart what he just said.

"Lin Xi, close your eyes and feel it carefully, can you feel a stream of air flowing through your body?" Zhang Guanshan put his hands behind his back and smiled and motioned for me to do as he said.

I nodded, closed my eyes and carefully felt every part of my body, and sure enough, I noticed that there was a flow of air in my abdomen. I opened my eyes and said in surprise: "Master, there is really a flow of air in my stomach!" ”

"Hmmm! It is precisely because you comprehend qi that you feel thirsty or hungry. In Taoism, it is believed that all things are composed of qi, and comprehending qi is the foundation of comprehending all things. Before the pre-Qin period, there was also a popular technique called qi alchemy in yin and yang practice, and the onmyoji could get rid of the constraints of natural laws by practicing qi alchemy. Later, after Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, alchemy was also lost. It wasn't until later that the ancestor comprehended the qi in it after studying the "Tao Te Ching", and obtained the fragment of "Alchemy of Qi" by chance. According to the characteristics of the Dao method itself, the ancestor combined the fragments of alchemy to create a qi alchemy technique that belongs to the heirs of my Zhang family. It was precisely because of this qi refining technique that Master Zu was able to subdue the six demon kings and the eight ghost commanders in Qingcheng Mountain. Speaking of Master Zu's glorious past, Zhang Guanshan's tone could not hide his pride.

"Wow! Grandpa is so powerful! "I can't help but admire, if only I could be as powerful as my grandfather!

"Hey!" Zhang Guanshan sighed again and said: "In order to avoid the spread of the Qi Alchemy Technique, Master Zu did not record it in writing, but passed it on to the next generation of masters in the way of personal teaching, and stipulated that only the head of the Qi Alchemy Technique was qualified to cultivate. Until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the twenty-fourth generation of the Zhang family was arrested and imprisoned for participating in the anti-Qing and restoration movement, and was severely punished. When he was released, it was already fate, and he was worried that the Zhang family's alchemy technique would be lost, so he used his last strength to record all the alchemy techniques that Ping Shen had learned. ”
