Chapter 458: Fetal Movement

Fetal movement is the beginning of all spiritual practice, and if you can't have fetal movement, you are a mortal.

Zhong Junxiu recalled that he had apprenticed to the Five Fire Dao people, and took Zhong Xiuxue with him back to the Five Fire Peak in this barren mountain range.

The native realm is vast and rich, especially for things like barren mountains and mountains, the land doesn't cost money at all, and loose cultivators like the Five Fire Dao people can casually occupy an uninhabited mountain, and then call themselves the Five Fire Peak.

After just staying for a few days, although the Five Fire Dao people had already assessed Zhong Junxiu on the road, they thought that although this son had passed the best age for cultivation, he was calm and calm, and he showed intelligence and wisdom everywhere, which made him quite excited.

On the way, the Five Fire Dao people secretly tested with the secret method that most people in the cultivation world would use, and learned that Zhong Junxiu's body was indeed able to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to practice, so he accepted him as a disciple and brought him back to his own cave.

These small actions can't hide from Zhong Junxiu, but in all fairness, in his position as a person from the Five Fire Dao, he is definitely more cautious and cautious in accepting apprentices.

However, this attitude may be related to Zhong Junxiu's development of a very strong sense of responsibility because of his father's teaching since he was a child.

In fact, from the beginning, Zhong Junxiu did not succeed in cultivating quickly, but in order to reassure the people of the Five Fire Dao, he used some spiritual power to simulate some visions, making it seem as if he had sensed the vitality of heaven and earth.

A few days after getting started, Zhong Junxiu took advantage of the opportunity to go out to run errands, used his physical fitness and superb martial arts, and directly took a few weak ones to enter the body and cultivate, and then secretly studied all their body structures, and let them practice while using their spiritual energy and spiritual energy to monitor all the subtle changes in their bodies, and collect the data changes that should be due to the practice.

This period of time can be said to be quite risky, and he has used a lot of psychic abilities in front of other people, but it is still under control, after all, there are some innate psychic energy or strong spiritual power in this world, but it is impossible to be born with a spiritual level tenth-level standard like him.

In the process of monitoring, Zhong Junxiu confirmed that the monk, at least the state change data of the first few layers of Qi refining during the Qi refining period, because there are only a few data source materials, he can't be 100% sure of the reliability, but at least there is a high chance that he will not make a big mistake in his next practice.

Descend on the barren mountains, choose prey, create encounters, gain the trust of the Five Fire Dao people, be accepted as a disciple, and bring back to the cave...... It took nearly two months for Zhong Junxiu to start his first practice.

To practice, one first needs to understand the meaning of the words and phrases on the exercises.

Of course, if it is a talent, you can spontaneously induct practice without exercises, but that kind of thing is estimated to have nothing to do with Zhong Junxiu in this life.

The basic practice part recorded in the "Five Elements Fire Technique" is the same as most ordinary exercises, and the introductory fetal movement chapter uses the materials of the general road, which is nothing more than how to enter meditation first.

There are many ways to enter meditation, but no matter which one it is, as long as it is created, it is basically effective, but some are highly efficient and some are inefficient, such as things like "Ice Heart Formula", which is more helpful for meditation.

The stillness referred to here is not the silence around us, but a state of concentration that is not disturbed by other external objects.

For example, if a certain exercise is to practice the energy of the spiritual realm, and to practice the anger of intelligent beings, this exercise often requires the cultivation of the ability to maintain the anger state and sense the vitality of heaven and earth.

In anger, you must be quiet.

The stillness here refers to the heart of a little spiritual light shining and clear, the heart is the heart, as long as you do not lose yourself, can grasp yourself, you can enter the stillness at any time, into the fetal movement.

Fetal movement, originally the fetus is in the mother's arms, congenitally beating, pure and unsullied.

Since their birth, intelligent beings have been disturbed by the colorful colors of the outside world, and have gradually been blinded by their perceptions, so that they no longer notice the movement of the fetus, which is called "fetal death".

Ordinary people are generally in a state of fetal death, just silent, and through the practice of exercises, they can awaken it, make it work again, and function as a base for exchanging vitality with heaven and earth.

However, in addition to the two states of fetal movement and fetal death, there is also a kind of stillbirth, which is a complete stone man, almost insulated from the Tao, and can only find another way to hope to become a monk.

The first step of fetal movement is to allow the monk to regain the pure and immaculate feeling of being wrapped in amniotic fluid when he was a fetus in his mother's arms.

"Automatic stillness, the fetus moves in stillness, the spirit fetus moves, and the blind open their eyes."

This is the general outline of most of the fetal exercises that Zhong Junxiu summed up through the study of the target, which refers to the perception and state that should be felt after entering meditation, like a blind man suddenly seeing the world again and regaining his original ability.

At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the heart, stick to the will, and continue to maintain this state of fetal movement.

Ordinary qualifications for cultivation require many consecutive attempts to enter the fetal movement and maintain the fetal movement, which is like using an electric current to stimulate a creature that has been hibernating for a long time.

When the monk is in a quiet environment and is able to enter the state of fetal movement between breaths, this is the time when the fetal movement is completed and can move on to the next step of the practice.

The duration of Zhong Junxiu's practice in the state of fetal movement is - three minutes.

Yes, he had already figured out the principle of fetal movement by dissecting those monks and comparing the records of fetal movement in the "Five Elements Fire Technique" and the exercises they practiced.

After knowing the principle, Zhong Junxiu's first practice was actually just practice.

The pace of practice was very slow, it took three minutes, little by little, and finally smoothly entered a special state.

This state is similar to sinking into the sea of the mind in the spiritual world, in the state of fetal movement, the human mind seems to be in another dimension, observing the world through another dimensional space, and being able to observe and have a certain control over the energy entering the body.

Then how to absorb energy into the body, this is the characteristic of each exercise.

There are characteristic exercises, and some require that they absorb the different kinds of heaven and earth vitality at the beginning.

And some orthodox Taoism often only requires pure aura to enter the body, lay a foundation first, and then slowly purify and refine.

Zhong Junxiu did not follow the path of the "Five Elements Fire Formula", which requires cultivators to first perceive the characteristics of the Five Elements Fire at the beginning, and then try to absorb the Five Elements Fire, incorporate it into the Dantian Hundred Tips, and turn it into a seed talisman.

It was only in the state of fetal movement that he used the practice "Dongzheng Heart Sutra" obtained from one of the monks.

"Dongzheng Heart Sutra" is a big road goods, its characteristics are peaceful, no features, requiring the practitioner to face the east at sunrise, facing the rising sun, and cultivate a lively basic true qi like the rising sun.

I have to say that the path that Zhong Junxiu took is impossible for others, but for him personally, this is much better than learning the "Five Elements Fire Technique" of the Five Fire Dao people step by step.

Because from the very beginning, Zhong Junxiu never thought of obediently practicing according to the exercises recorded in the "Five Elements Fire Technique", but from the beginning, he had to follow his own path!

No matter how dangerous the road is, I am willing to keep the heart of courage and diligence, and leave a sense of prudence and stability, and overcome obstacles all the way without impartiality.
