"Ding 呤呤 ........."
Lin Xu was woken up by a piercing alarm clock ringing, barely opened his eyes, turned over and slapped the alarm clock on the bedside table, and turned off the alarm clock. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info stared a little in confusion, and he came to his senses and remembered the purpose of setting the alarm clock.
"Brother, what about the holiday, what are you doing with the alarm clock?"
The sound insulation at home is not very good, and Lin Xu's bedroom is close to the sofa in the living room, but the alarm clock also woke Lin Tong, and she muttered and complained in the bed.
"Practice!" Lin Xu replied casually, yawning and rubbing his eyes.
He was still a little confused and didn't pay attention when he stopped the alarm clock just now, but this time he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, only to find that his arms were faintly sore. It's like the soreness of moving a lot of heavy things one day and waking up the next day. This is a muscle strain caused by a large amount of exercise, and it seems that the first exercise yesterday afternoon is still a bit too much for him. But it's not particularly sore, it's just a little bit, and it's still not in the way of any movement.
Lin Xu is still a little bedridden on weekdays, especially in winter, and no one wants to get up from the warm bed. However, thinking of practicing, Lin Xu struggled for a while, but he still resolutely sat up and got dressed.
During the struggle, he was not idle, but remembered the notes he took last night and made a "red dragon stirring the sea". The so-called red dragon stirs the sea, which is to close the mouth and stir the palate with the tongue, count 36 times, and then cough 36 mouthfuls, and after the mouth is full, it is divided into three mouthfuls and swallowed. Chilong said it nicely, but in fact, it is the tongue, which is mainly to stir up the saliva in the mouth and then swallow it.
When he was in elementary school, he used to play with people and stir his spit in his mouth repeatedly before spitting it out. After repeated stirring back and forth many times, the saliva appears very white, and it becomes foaming at the mouth. Children play blindly, it seems unhygienic, in fact, there is no reason, just feel fun.
This red dragon stirring the sea is similar to the one he played with when he was a child, but in the end, instead of spitting it out, he swallowed it. This is a very special regimen that he copied from the latter part of those two "Qigong" magazines last night.
There is a paraphrase below, and after reading the paraphrase, he knew that the spittle that everyone had in their mouths was a very famous thing in the Taoist theory of health preservation, which was called "Jinjin jade liquid", and there was also a saying, called "Jinjin jade liquid should not be lightly thrown", but it seemed very important.
Among them, there is an excerpt from the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which says, "There are four orifices under the human tongue, the second aperture passes through the heart qi, the second aperture passes through the kidney fluid, the heart qi flows under the tongue for the divine water, and the kidney fluid flows into the tongue for the spiritual fluid. ”
To be honest, he doesn't really understand how to make such an ordinary thing as spittle seem to be very important here. He didn't really understand the above paragraph. But although he didn't understand, it didn't prevent him from feeling that what he said was still quite reasonable, and he looked like he was saying it very powerfully.
Moreover, it is not difficult for this red dragon to stir the sea, it is a very simple action, you don't even need to move your hands and feet, you just need to move your tongue and mouth. The most important thing is that he felt that the last sentence "clear water irrigates the spiritual root", and the "spiritual root" here should refer to the dantian. It's like farming in the field, and if you water it a lot, it will naturally change from a raw field to a mature field. And regular watering is also the most conducive to the growth of crops. He felt that this simple red dragon stirring the sea should be helpful for cultivating internal strength and developing dantian.
Since it's very simple, I feel that it is helpful for cultivation. Therefore, he decided that every morning after getting up, he would do this red dragon stirring the sea first, which could be regarded as an auxiliary method.
In fact, in the article he excerpted, in addition to the red dragon stirring the sea, there are a series of other health actions, such as knocking teeth, beating drums, bathing noodles and so on. However, he felt that it was too troublesome, and it was not helpful for practicing internal skills, so he only chose this red dragon to stir the sea.
After doing the Red Dragon Stirring the Sea, Lin Xu was also struggling to get up, and after getting dressed, he opened the door and walked out. When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he found that the gate was still bolted, but today was the earliest he got up. Opening the door, he went out to the hut outside to relieve himself.
His thatched house was built in the southwest corner of the open space outside the yard, and after he came out of the thatched house, he did not return to the courtyard, but walked to the northwest corner of the open space. There was a small wooden door with a small iron bolt in it, and a lock was hung on it. However, it is not locked, but it hangs there in an open state.
Lin Xu stepped forward to take off the iron lock, pulled out the deadbolt, hung the lock back again, and then pushed the door in. On the other side of the door was their neighbor to the west. However, there are not many people living in the neighborhood, because this is a small dilapidated temple that has been abandoned for many years.
The temple is indeed very small, with only two halls in front and back. In front is a hall of the four heavenly kings, and in the back is a thousand-armed Guanyin hall. Legend has it that it was the last and smallest temple built in the life of a Tang Dynasty craftsman who was very good at building temples. Because this temple was not built for the monks in the temple, but specifically for himself, it did not need to be very large.
As for whether the legend is true or not, it is unknown, but such a legend has always been circulating in the village. However, the value of the cultural relics of this temple is still certain, because many of the heads of the Bodhisattvas in this temple have been stolen. If you say it's worthless, what does the thief do with it?
The only well-preserved thing in the temple is the front of the Four Heavenly Kings Palace, and none of the heads of the Four Heavenly Kings in the temple have been lost. The thousand-armed Guanyin Palace, which was used as the main hall, was tragically looted, and even the head of Guanyin Niangniang was not guaranteed, and the boys, dragon girls, and arhats who served next to them were not spared, and only three or five lucky ones could still keep a good head without losing it.
The temple had long since been dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, broken roof tiles, and leaking roofs. The Thousand-Hand Guanyin Hall in the back was particularly badly damaged, and even the wall of the hall facing Lin Xu's house was cracked by an old crack, almost from the top to the bottom, but it was far from collapsing.
Lin Xu walked into this small temple at this time, planning to practice in this small temple as a red sand hand this morning. Because in front of the Thousand Hands Guanyin Hall behind this small temple, there is a big green pine that has grown for an unknown number of years, and it is still green in this winter.
In the last note, it is best to practice in the morning in the forest and other places where the air is fresh. When he practiced for the first time yesterday afternoon, he only thought that there was no particularly suitable place in his yard, and only the roof of the bungalow was okay, but after getting on the roof of the bungalow, he immediately saw a more ideal place, which was the small abandoned temple adjacent to the west of their house.
This big green pine tree is the closest to his house and the tallest tree, especially an evergreen tree in all seasons, but it is more suitable than the roof of the bungalow at home. When he went up to the roof of the bungalow yesterday afternoon and saw it, he already thought that he would come to the temple the next morning to practice under the big pine tree.
Although I saw it yesterday afternoon, I was too lazy to change it for a while, so I made up and practiced on the roof of the bungalow. And in his opinion, yesterday afternoon's trip should only be regarded as familiarization, not formal practice, and this morning's trip is counted.
