Chapter 25 The Secret Art of Bamboo Slips

After seeing the five words clearly, Zuo Dengfeng immediately took the bundle of bamboo slips back to the east chamber, lit the stove fire and looked at the bamboo slips with the light from the stove, after careful counting, Zuo Dengfeng found that there were a total of eighty-one bamboo slips, the length of each bamboo slip was more than a handful, and it was a very thick and long bundle after being rolled up, much larger than ordinary paper books.

Let go of all the bamboo slips, the total length is close to one meter, the bamboo slips are cut by green bamboo, the color is green and yellow, about 20 centimeters long, about one centimeter wide, each bamboo slip has more than 20 small red characters on it, it is twice the number of words in the ancient ordinary bamboo slips, so that the handwriting is particularly small, Zuo Dengfeng needs to work very hard to see the handwriting on it.

After a look at the flowers, Zuo Dengfeng determined that this is a bundle of bamboo slips that record the ancient Taoism, eighty-one bamboo slips, the number of words does not exceed two thousand, the recorded Taoism is profound and difficult to understand, each word needs to be carefully scrutinized, the most headache for Zuo Dengfeng is that the text on the bamboo slips has no punctuation, only a small distance between the two sentences, and the way of writing is also contrary to the current reading habits, Zuo Dengfeng had no choice but to take out a pen and paper to copy sentence by sentence, two thousand words, until the sun rises the next time to copy, At this time, Zuo Dengfeng already had a general understanding of the Taoist techniques recorded in this bundle of bamboo slips.

Yin and Yang life and death formula is actually a general term for Yin and Yang and life and death formula, Yin and Yang formula can distinguish Yin and Yang, and life and death can affect life and death. In short, the yin and yang formula is the observation and analysis of things, while the life and death formula is the processing and change of things.

The first half of the bamboo slips expresses the teaching's understanding of all things in the world, in their view, everything in the world is composed of qi, and the so-called qi does not refer to the air we breathe alone, but refers to the smallest and most basic matter that is not visible to the naked eye. This part of the philosophy-like theory is the premise of using the yin and yang formula to observe things, and using the formula of life and death to change things.

The middle part of the bamboo slip records two methods of practicing qi, the first method is to convert one's own essence and blood into vitality through meditation and mind guidance and store it in the dantian qi sea, and the second method is to adjust and change the rhythm of breathing, and receive and absorb the good surname breath that is beneficial to the human body from the outside world in the way of exhalation, and the qi obtained through this method is also stored in the dantian, but they are not vitality, but are called aura. To put it simply, the vitality is its own and is formed by nature. Reiki is external and acquired. Reiki can be converted into Reiki, whereas Reiki cannot be converted into Reiki. The damage of the vitality can only be slowly repaired through its own metabolism, and after the aura is consumed, it can absorb the good surname breath from the outside world and replenish it in a short time.

By condensing the vitality to absorb the aura, you can store a large amount of qi in the dantian qi sea, most of these qi are absorbed from the outside world, when the aura is exhausted, you can convert your own vitality into aura through overdraft and continue to use, but this method is relatively dangerous, firstly, the recovery of the vitality is slow after the loss of the vitality, and secondly, excessive overdraft will shorten the life span of the person. The ultimate purpose of Qi training is to store the Spiritual Qi in the dantian, and only when the Spiritual Qi reaches a certain amount and is refined to a certain extent can the Yin and Yang Recipe and the Recipe of Life and Death be cast, in short, the practice of Spiritual Qi is the basis for using the two Techniques.

The second half of the bamboo slip records in detail the practice skills and use of the yin and yang formula and the life and death decision, the yin and yang formula only has one practice method and one use formula, with the improvement of their own spiritual energy cultivation, the initial stage can make the practitioner's own vision, smell, hearing and other sensory abilities several times enhanced, more keen observation of yang things. In the middle stage, you can observe the things with the surname Yin that ordinary people can't see with the naked eye, and after practicing to the extreme, you can completely stimulate the body's potential instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and you can accurately perceive the yin and yang, good and evil, good and evil, and the name of yin and yang comes from this alone.

The formula of life and death can also be divided into three stages of practice, the original text of the bamboo slip is 'the primordial birth of the three positives, the three positives of the supreme, the supreme illusion is infinite', the ancient language is too ambiguous, need to diverge understanding, "primitive" can be understood as one, "three positive" should refer to heaven and earth, representing the number three, nine is the supreme number, so the supreme should represent nine here, "infinity" in ancient times is the metaphor of ninety-nine eighty-one.

If taken literally, the initial stage of life and death can increase one's strength, jump height, movement speed, and human endurance by about three times, and the reaction time will be reduced by three times. In the middle stage, it is nine times, and at this stage, the spiritual energy stored in the body can be extended out of the body, and at this time, it has already exceeded the limit of the human body. The practice of life and death to the extreme is to increase the potential of the human body by ninety-nine eighty-one times, which is only the ability of the legendary immortals, although it cannot be reversed, but it is enough to correct yin and yang, and it can easily control the life and death of others, hence the name life and death trick.

The content recorded in the bamboo slip does not have too many tricks and moves, there is only one formula for yin and yang, and there is only one formula for life and death, Zuo Dengfeng thinks that it should be so, because yesterday Zhike Taoist once told him about the matter of Yuan Shi Tianzun, since Yuan Shi Tianzun is called primitive, the Taoist art learned by the sect should naturally not have too many bells and whistles, a style of yin and yang can distinguish yin and yang, and a style of life and death can affect life and death, simple and domineering, this is the origin of practice. When the spell is completed, you can comprehend many methods and moves from this.

Zuo Dengfeng was very excited about the Taoist techniques recorded in the bamboo slips, as long as he learned the spells on the bamboo slips, even if he only learned the initial spells, it was enough for him to take revenge, but he encountered three difficult problems to deal with.

The first is that the bamboo slip explains the time required for cultivation, three years, nine years and eighty-one years, can only be gradual, if you rush forward, the body's heart, bones, meridians can not withstand the sudden increase in pressure, take running as an example, people can run 20 to 30 miles per hour, if the life and death trick is practiced to the middle stage, you can travel 300 miles per hour, in this case the human heart and bones can not bear such a large load. Eighty-one times Zuo Dengfeng didn't dare to think about it, because he was worried that he wouldn't live that long.

The second problem is that the practice of yin and yang life and death is extremely demanding on people's emotions, and the mind must be as calm as water, otherwise it will not be able to guide the qi with the will, and if the mood is chaotic, it is very likely to cause the aura to deviate, resulting in a madness. There is also Zuo Dengfeng who doesn't understand where the acupuncture points and meridians recorded on the bamboo slips are.

The most headache for Zuo Dengfeng is that the bamboo slip is obviously left by Wu Xinyu's master to Wu Xinyu, the method of condensing vitality is to turn blood into qi, Yin and Yang said that Zuo Dengfeng does not understand at all, he knows that he is a man, it should be refining and refining qi instead of turning blood into qi, if he practices according to the method on the bamboo slip, Zuo Dengfeng is very worried that he will become a monster who is neither male nor female.

If you don't understand acupuncture points and meridians, you can go out of the mountains to ask someone, and now that Chinese medicine is prevalent, you can understand these if you are a Chinese doctor, this is not a problem. If it is really necessary, you can only wait in the mountains for three years, and then you can go out to look for Fujisaki when the secret of life and death is a little smaller. If the mind is not still, you can adjust it slowly, and this is not a problem, but if the practice is wrong, everything will be over.

After a sleepless night, Zuo Dengfeng felt sleepy, got up and went to the south house, Thirteen had already slept on the kang, and after Wu Xinyu died, Zuo Dengfeng allowed it to go to the kang. Earlier, it knew that it would be dangerous to come back, and it came back with Wu Xinyu to face Fujisaki and the others. After Wu Xinyu died, it was it who dragged the coffin to the grave, and it was also it who had been hunting food for the bedridden Zuo Dengfeng, after so many things, Zuo Dengfeng had already regarded it as a friend, and naturally would not let it curl up in the small cat nest again.

Zuo Dengfeng has been burning the fire last night, and it is very warm on the kang, which makes Zuo Dengfeng feel very comfortable. But this comfortable feeling made him feel a tingling in his heart, and then he turned over and sat up, and walked out of Qingshuiguan with the quilt.

Wu Xinyu's tomb is only about three miles away from Qingshui Temple, this three miles away when Wu Xinyu is dripping out of blood, which makes Zuo Dengfeng pick up his surname, and now Wu Xinyu has been lying in the cold ground, Zuo Dengfeng was injured before he would sleep on the kang, and now the injury is about to heal, he feels that sleeping on the warm kang is the forgetting of Wu Xinyu, he wants to accompany Wu Xinyu, he wants to share weal and woe with Wu Xinyu.

Zuo Dengfeng fell asleep in front of Wu Xinyu's grave, although it was very cold, but he felt very steady, because his lover was next to him.

After a short sleep, Zuo Dengfeng returned to Qingshuiguan with the quilt, and went out of the mountain with a bag of corn, if he didn't grind it, he would run out of food, the most important thing was that he had to go out to find a doctor to understand the specific location of the meridians and acupuncture points......
