In Taoist practice, Jinggong is the beginning of all methods and the foundation of all cultivation.

And the beginning of meditation is breathing. Zhuang Ziyun: "Boast of breathing, spit out the old and accept the new." It refers to inhaling the Qing Qi and exhaling the turbid qi in the body. Let the Qi in the body nourish the whole body.

The 'qi' here is not the air, the breath, and the yin in the body. Rather, it is the 'Qing Qi' that exists in nature, and the 'Yang Qi' that is formed after the cultivation of Tuna.

'Yangqi' is the foundation of becoming a practitioner.

Tu Na is not divided into ages, qualifications, and men and women, so the monk also said that the cultivation of the Taoist family is more suitable for Binglin. Moreover, the Taoist chief told her that women often practiced the Tuna Gong faster than men.

Numerically speaking, a woman's 'heart palace' is closer to the 'Qi Sea'.

There is a hole in the heart socket between the woman's chest, with a radius of one inch and two minutes, where the woman's dantian is, and where the 'Qi Sea' is located, which is also called the middle dantian. And the man's 'Qi Sea' is under the umbilicus, also known as the lower dantian.

Although there is a difference in the speed of cultivation, the accumulation of time will also match the gap at the beginning. The fruit bears much the same fruit. It's just that most people don't stick to it nine times out of ten.

The group was still in a hurry, and in order to teach Bing Lin the most basic Taoist method of vomiting, they could only try not to shrink the ground, so as to explain some introductory knowledge and precautions to Bing Lin.

For a person who has never been exposed to this knowledge, the Taoist chief explained very popularly, patiently explaining the details. Binglin also rarely asks questions.

Bing Lin, who was eager to try, was stopped by the Dao Master several times, and at least he would not practice until the evening. Being quieter at night will allow her as a beginner to have fewer distractions and be able to calm down more easily.

Most importantly, don't waste time rushing during the day.

Along the way, they did see a few shreds of the clothes torn off the beard's body, and it was certain that Bi Fang's purpose was indeed to lure them somewhere.

It was already past noon, and the three of them sat by a stream, eating the grilled fish made by the monk, the Taoist chief ate very little, and the monk didn't actually need to eat much, just because chewing made him feel happy. Binglin is different, just an ordinary person who needs to replenish calories in time.

"Huang Ting Jing" records that "the mouth is the Taihe Palace of the Jade Pool, the cough and throat spirit liquid disaster is not dry, the body is full of glory and magnanim, but it destroys the hundred evil jade and refines the face."

It is said that after the breath is vaporized into 'qi', part of it will produce fluid in the mouth, and the cultivation reaches a certain level, and those who have attained enlightenment often use 'Daigo empowerment' to describe the taste of 'qi' in the mouth.

Taoism also has the technique of Bigu, so people who have practiced in their bodies don't actually need to eat much. Each family has its own method.

Continue on the road, if they take turns using the earth shrinking technique, according to the tall man, they may be able to reach the foot of the lost mountain before the night comes, and the Taoist chief is basically sure that this is the place Bi Fang wants them to go.

It can be estimated that after tonight, Dao Chang and Bing Lin will enter the seven-day cycle of reincarnation and wake up again and forget everything that happened here.

"Let's stop nearby, tomorrow, Binglin and I will wake up again. ”

The monk saw that the Taoist chief hesitated, although there was nothing to do along the way, it was a little disappointing to say, even the robbers who were killed were just ordinary people, if there were some unexpected crises, maybe the three of them would take it for granted, and they didn't have to tense their nerves all the time.

No accidents are more disturbing.

The Taoist priest looked at the baby and said, "No matter what, let's not leave this child." ”

Bing Lin replied with an oath: "Well, I will never leave him alone!"

"Hehe, when you wake up tomorrow, you still remember how this kid came. Even if I explain the cause and effect, if I convey it to each other over and over again, the message will become more and more blurred over time..."

"So, here, it's better not to make promises, we are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river now, and it is difficult to protect ourselves. ”

The Taoist chief said: "Lao Feng must be the key to our survival, if it weren't for his appearance, with a few of us, we should still be living in the Black Forest at this time." ”

Fortunately, a few days ago, the group walked to the edge of the Black Forest and the valley.

At least, before Bi Fang appeared, the behavior of the Dao Leader and the others was determined by themselves.

Instead of being led by the invisible pressure as it is now.

The monk folded his hands and looked at the sky reverently and said, "Master Poor Monk said that as soon as the lamp is extinguished, my practice in the world will be over. ”

"So, this is the world where the poor monks continue to practice!Let the poor monks escort your benefactors!!"

The monk's robe was flying in the wind, and Bing Lin looked worshipful.

The Taoist unceremoniously raised his foot and kicked it, but was dodged by the monk.

The Taoist chief said to Binglin: "I'm not in a hurry today, you can start meditating and spitting according to what I taught you, calm down and relax." The monk and I are right next to you, and we won't go anywhere. ”

Bing Lin was overjoyed, handed Lao Feng into the hands of the Taoist priest, and began to sit down to adjust his breathing and practice breathing.

Seeing that Binglin was gradually entering the state, the Taoist chief handed the baby to the monk again, asked the monk for Bi Fang's feathers, and after looking at it for a long time, he returned it to the monk and said, "Tomorrow I will pick the important ones, especially Bi Fang!" ”

"Why don't you just take it yourself?"

"Put it on me, maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and disappear..."

"Heh, it seems that what the Taoist chief is really looking for is Bi Fang. The monk said.

The Dao Leader nodded, glanced at Bing Lin again and said, "It is a great opportunity to see an extinct foreign beast, not to mention a seriously injured foreign beast. ”

"Amitabha, do you want to look for it even if you know it's a trap?"

"Knowing it's a trap, don't you chase after it?"

The monk smiled and said, "People also have to be saved, but the strange beast and the poor monk are also seeing it for the first time." ”

The Taoist priest nodded, patted the monk's shoulder, and said with a look of understanding that I understood: "I will work hard for you next." ”

"Amitabha," the monk said with both hands, "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!"

The Taoist chief ignored the monk anymore, found a dry place, and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing that Dao Chang and Bing Lin had already entered the state, the monk said to the baby in his arms with a lost expression: "If only my stupid apprentice also came, he has always disliked staying in the city and the temple..."

Lao Feng also looked at the monk, said with a squeaky in his mouth, and raised his hands to gesture randomly.

"Well, it's possible, that gang plotted against me and got me here, and it was possible to attack Xiao Xinghai too..."

The monk was surprised when he saw the baby and said, "You mean that Xiao Xinghai may also be here?"

"I don't rule out this possibility, it's best to find a way to go back and see, I'm just such an apprentice..."

Lao Feng is still dancing and entertaining himself.

"Life and death, life and wealth are in the sky, Lao Feng, I don't see it, you can say such philosophical words at a young age, if you meet a famous teacher, then you will be able to pay it back in the future, I see your bones..."

"Can you shut up!bald donkey!!" The Taoist priest couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his voice and scolded angrily!

The monk waved his hand indifferently and said, 'I, I know'.

Then he bent down and waved his hand to Lao Feng and said, "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future..."

......

At sunset, Bing Lin woke up, rubbing her numb feet and grinning uncomfortably.

"Wake up... It's normal to be numb and sore at first, don't be in a hurry, rub more, and get up again when you recover. ”

"It's so numb, it hurts, oops...."

The monk smiled and said, "It's good to get used to it." “

"Lao Feng, he didn't make trouble, right?"

"No, when did he make a fuss. ”

Bing Lin hugged Lao Feng back.

The surrounding area poured into the fog again, making the originally dark night even more eerie, and in a trance, it always seemed like a figure was flowing in the fog, driving the fog to flow irregularly.

Bing Lin gradually felt uneasy, and watched vigilantly at the wind and grass around her.

"Don't panic, the valley at night is like this, the fog will last until the next morning, the mountains and mountain gods also need to rest, the fog is like their 'Qi'. ”

"I'm still nervous, I'm a little scared that I won't remember anything when I wake up tomorrow. Bing Lin said in frustration.

"You're going to be fine, you see. Aren't we, the earliest of you, safe and sound? After speaking, the monk recited a Buddha name.

Bing Lin calmed down a little, her eyes still searching around in the fog.

"The poor monk became a monk at a very young age, and when he was seven or eight years old, he once ran into a valley after a monkey, and when he went back, it was already dark, and there was no star and moon as it is now, and there was gray fog everywhere. Visibility is less than 10 meters. ”

The poor monk looked up in the dark night and saw a white shadow floating on a very high treetop not far away, and the frightened poor monk ran back to the temple. ”

The next day, after the poor monk and a few senior brothers finished speaking, they didn't believe it and insisted that the poor monk lead the way to see it. As a result, guess what it was?"

"It's... What is it? People?"

The monk shook his head and said, "It's a Kong Ming lantern, an unburned Kong Ming lantern just fell on the treetops." ”

"Huh, it's just a Kong Ming lantern?" Bing Lin said with a smile, she never thought it would be a Kong Ming lantern.

The monk also laughed and said: "The day before was the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of this incident, I became famous in the temple, and there was a wish with crooked handwriting written on it. ”

Bing Lin asked curiously, "What wish?"

"May all lovers in the world be brothers and sisters, especially dogs and girls..."

"Hahaha... Why is this person so bad!haha..."Bing Lin was afraid of making a noise to the Taoist priest, so she said softly, but she couldn't hold back her laughter...

The monk smiled: "So, this lamp hasn't burned out..."

The Taoist priest also opened his eyes, stood up and stretched his body, patted the dust on his buttocks, and began to pick up small stones near the ground.

For the sake of safety, it is necessary to set up a few formations, especially the bearded man watching him being captured in front of his eyes, if he is about to lose all his memories here, he is attacked, it is really too unjust.

After seeing that Binglin was not as nervous as just now, the monk continued: "Human eyes are the first to begin to degenerate, and the things that ordinary people's eyes can see are very limited, such as the eyes of eagles, which are at least several times stronger than ordinary people. So when people are in the dark, they will always impose some vague shadows on what we think is true. ”

"For example, it was just an unburned Kong Ming lantern, but at that time, in my eyes, it was a terrible devil pounced on me. ”

"With good practice, maybe your eyesight will be as sharp as an eagle, but remember that your eyes will always deceive you when your mind is unstable. ”

Bing Lin looked at the surging fog around him again, and found that he was not afraid, but the breeze blew through the fog, the more nervous he was, the more he felt that there was something terrible hidden inside, if there was a large blower now, as soon as it blew, the fog dispersed, maybe he would find nothing.

Bing Lin smiled with relief when she thought of this.

"I see, thank you, Master Aurora. Bing Lin folded her hands and saluted the aurora.

"Amitabha. The monk smiled.
