Qian Muqing thought about the magical apprentice selection ceremony of the Martial Arts Academy, not only became excited, but his past practice experience came to mind one by one: I still don't know who taught me this set of swordsmanship, is it the ancestor master, or the great monk Buddha Tucheng? At that time, the experience of learning and practicing swordsmanship was like a dream, which was really incredible.

On the night of the ceremony, I was so excited that I fell asleep for a long time. In a trance, I suddenly felt that the dantian was blazing, and the true qi was dense, gradually reaching the limbs and hundreds of remains. Wherever the true qi went, it was like soup melting ice, and the whole body seemed to be melted, which was extremely comfortable.

Suddenly "bang" The ground sounded, his whole body vibrate, and in an instant, there was a light around, and a magical realm appeared: in the endless wilderness, a clear stream gurgled by, wild flowers on the bank were everywhere, green grass was like grass, countless butterflies were flying, he stood by the river, holding a sword, and couldn't help but dance: the sword light, like mercury leaking the ground, countless exquisite sword moves, endlessly, swaying out, his body has no sense of redundancy at all, soaring high and low, stabbing near and far, meaning to the body, to the sword, as he wishes, when he really has the body and the sword, when he usually practices the sword, he can't do the action, at this time, it can be said that he has to get it in his heart, should be in his hand, it is as easy as a backhand; , jumped up a few zhang, the long sword in his hand danced out of countless sword flowers, to rise to the end, he flipped his body, head and feet, made the heavenly maiden scattered flower sword momentum, the sword light was shining, covering the range of several zhang under the body, close to the ground, and used the move of the goose falling into the flat sand, a somersault fell steadily on the ground.

When this last trick is finished, I suddenly feel that the whole body is really condensed, the qi stops and the pulse stops, the surrounding scenery disappears instantly, I shivered, woke up suddenly, opened my eyes and looked around, the bedroom scenery was the same, I had left the bed for a while, and the sword move made by the right person was vivid, and I never forgot the slightest bit, I was amazed, and I couldn't understand it.

Because he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and practiced the swordsmanship he had learned in his dream several times in the bedroom. Although he remembered the sword moves, he couldn't reach the realm of practice in his dreams at this time, and he thought: Without ten or eight years of hard work, I am afraid it will be difficult to practice the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower Sword Technique.

But all these mysterious experiences have made me completely believe that I have been selected by my ancestor and that I am suitable for practicing this kind of martial arts, and I can also practice this kind of martial arts. So, in the later arduous sword training process, because of this firm belief, although he had encountered countless difficulties, he was not discouraged, he persevered, and finally practiced the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flower Sword Technique.

Qian Muqing thought about the difficulties he encountered when he was practicing, and secretly sweated for Helian Longshan, secretly thinking: Can this young man do it? What if he can't endure hardships and overcome difficulties? More importantly, if Master Zu doesn't agree,

When I woke up the next day, it was already dawn. After breakfast, Dr. Zhang came to acupuncture Qian Muqing. After finishing the acupuncture, he said to Helian Longshan: "Your master's lower limbs are inconvenient, he can't walk, and less physical activity will block qi and blood, which is not conducive to recovery. You have to help your master move his legs and feet, so that he can recover faster. ”

Helian Longshan kneaded Qian Muqing's legs and feet, and carried him to the small river outside the town to fish. After many days, Qian Muqing's injuries gradually improved: when Dr. Zhang gave him a massage in the air, the soreness turned into numbness, and he was able to sit up on his own and slowly move his arms. Dr. Zhang made a wheelchair for Qian Muqing, which was light and flexible, and he could control his own movement back and forth. As the injury improved, Qian Muqing's mood gradually brightened, and he chatted with Dr. Zhang when he had time.

Late that night, when Helian Longshan was asleep, for some reason, he woke up in shock, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Qian Muqing sitting on the bed and said to him: "Longshan, you are awake." ”

Helian Longshan was shocked in his heart: "How did Master know that I was awake." He replied, "Yes, Master, what do you command?"

Qian Muqing said: "You have always wanted to learn martial arts from me, and I also want to teach you, but according to the rules of this sect, you have to ask Master Zu if you agree." If Master Zu agrees, I will take you as an apprentice. It's up to you to make it!"

"Get up and kowtow to me three times. Helian Longshan didn't dare to ask more, so he obediently got up and went down to the bed and kowtowed on the ground three times.

Qian Muqing said: "Longshan, from today onwards, I will officially accept you as an apprentice. ”

Helian Longshan was overjoyed in his heart, and he kowtowed three more and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

Qian Muqing continued: "To practice the martial arts of being a teacher, you must start with meditation, and then continue with Taoist Dandao kung fu, and the two are integrated and applied to swordsmanship. Today, let's talk about meditation, which is the method of Buddhist practice. If you want to settle down, you must be physically and mentally extinguished, first sit cross-legged, hold on to your body, and then drive away distracting thoughts, and you can't control your mind. The body and mind depend on each other, and the mind is controlled by the body. ”

Helian Longshan said, "Master, how do you sit cross-legged?"

Qian Muqing said: "The center of the left foot is upward, placed on the thigh of the right leg, the center of the right foot is upward, placed on the left leg and thigh, the waist and back are straight, the shoulders are loose and the elbows are dropped, the palms of both hands are up, the thumb is lightly touched, the right hand is placed on the left hand, the front jaw is slightly closed, the tongue is lightly touched to the roof of the mouth, the eyes are slightly closed, the whole body is not allowed to move, and the whole body must sit for two hours." When you first practice this skill, you must sit for a full hour. Start practicing now. ”

Helian Longshan didn't dare to slack off, and was busy sitting cross-legged according to the master's request. He was still young, his muscles and bones were soft, and he easily crossed his feet, secretly proud in his heart, and said, "It turns out that practicing is so easy." "In the first half hour, Helian Longshan spent it easily, but in the second half hour, he began to compete with his legs, his legs began to be numb, then swollen, and finally the pain was unbearable, his back began to be sore, and sweat trickled down his spine. Helian Longshan finally couldn't hold on, constantly grinning and shaking from side to side.

"Don't move!" Qian Muqing's voice was not loud but cold and majestic, and it was not to be disobeyed.

Helian Longshan had to grit his teeth and insist, and suddenly felt that time was as slow and difficult as frozen, and finally waited for the master's order to "collect the merits", he quickly removed his feet and rubbed and massaged vigorously, but it caused a burst of soreness and numbness that spread throughout his body, and he was so uncomfortable that he squeezed his eyebrows and made his eyes.

Although the first practice was very hard, it made Helian Longshan feel a sense of fulfillment. He fully believes that as long as he perseveres, he will definitely be able to practice the world-famous martial arts like his master.

Helian Longshan was still young and had a strong recovery ability, and his legs soon lost his discomfort, and he was very unconvinced by his suitability performance, so he practiced cross-legged again. Tossed and turned for another hour, and it was nearly dawn before he fell asleep. Qian Muqing lay on the bed and secretly observed, seeing that he was diligent and studious, he was overjoyed.

Helian Longshan is eager for revenge, and he can't wait to practice peerless martial arts in one day. During the day, he insisted on massaging the master and pushed his wheelchair to accompany him outside. As soon as I have leisure, I practice cross-legged, and my realm continues to sublimate.

Helian Longshan asked the master about the cause of the pain in his legs, and Qian Muqing told him the truth that "if you don't get through, it hurts, and if you don't get it, it doesn't hurt", so that he could carefully experience the feeling of his legs.

Helian Longshan practiced hard and gradually realized that whenever the pain in a certain part was unbearable, as long as he gritted his teeth and persevered, there were often strange sensations: a thin hole seemed to suddenly crack in the flesh of the painful part, and the pain would bubble up like a bubble and disappear without a trace. He asked the master for the reason, and Qian Muqing said with a smile: "Longshan, this is a sign of the activation of the qi machine, the true qi passes through the painful part and gathers into the meridians, and the qi veins are smooth, so naturally there is no longer pain." ”

Helian Longshan suddenly realized, his confidence doubled, and he continued to practice.

Gradually, the pain became less and less, and finally the whole leg was full of qi, and there was no hindrance, and I could not feel the slightest pain after sitting quietly for an hour.

Helian Longshan reported his feelings about the practice to the master, and Qian Muqing nodded again and again, and asked, "When you meditate, do you have distracting thoughts in your heart?"

Helian Longshan didn't dare to hide it, and replied honestly: "Although the disciple can sit still, he has many distracting thoughts in his heart. I also asked Master to teach me the method of mind control. ”

Qian Muqing said: "When you meditate, you can concentrate on one thought and see how it goes?"

Helian Longshan immediately sat cross-legged and meditated, and after a while, he said to the master: "Although there are many thoughts, I can't keep one. ”

Qian Muqing laughed and said: "Since you can't keep your thoughts, why bother to drive them away, you just need to write down the number of thoughts, and tell me about them sooner or later." ”

Helian Longshan practiced like the Dharma, the number of thoughts increased, and his heart was very strange, please ask the master to advise, Qian Muqing smiled and did not answer, and after a few days, the miscellaneous thoughts really began to decrease, and the heart was full of joy, and told the master, Qian Muqing taught him to stop counting, but he must identify the miscellaneous thoughts, and do not teach them to breed and spread.

Helian Longshan practiced diligently, meditated and attained the pole straight up, gradually reached the physical and mental harmony, and entered the ethereal state where internal thieves are not born and external evils are not entered.

Qian Muqing then explained to him in detail the principles of Buddhism's land, water, fire, and wind, and asked him to pay attention to the physical and mental changes during meditation, and to tell him at any time.

One day, when Helian Longshan was meditating, his head and waist swayed, and he told the master, and Qian Muqing told him not to be attached and to go with the flow.

Sure enough, the shaking phenomenon quickly passed, and the itching, coolness, and warmth appeared, and the master taught him to treat it in the same way.

However, he said that in the afternoon of this day, Qian Muqing was taking a walk in the courtyard, and Helian Longshan came out of the house excitedly, and said excitedly: "Master, when the disciple was practicing the exercises, suddenly his body and mind were empty, and he was extremely comfortable, and he felt that his whole body was as light as a feather, and like a flying feather, and he wanted to float in the air. I was excited for a while, and I didn't know how to deal with it, so I asked Master for advice. ”

Qian Muqing nodded and praised: "Longshan, you are really a martial arts wizard, it took three months to practice to this realm for the teacher, but it only took you one month." It's really terrifying. ”

Helian Longshan was surprised and delighted, and said with a slight equator: "Master has won a false award." The disciples are still far away. ”

Qian Muqing continued: "You can carefully understand the process of appearing in this realm, when the body becomes lighter, with the breath, when exhaling, the mind true qi is infused with the mud pill acupoint, the body soars upward, when you inhale, the intention is true qi into the feet, the body is heavier, and return to the original place. The key to practicing light gong is to be able to control this realm at will, whether it is facing the enemy in battle, or living and sitting and lying down, between breathing and breathing, you can change your own weight, and then you can go high and high, climb the cliff like walking on the ground, and jump over the wall like crossing the threshold. ”

Helian Longshan asked, "Master, can the weight of this body be changed at will?"

Qian Muqing said with a smile: "Buddhists believe that the outer mountains and rivers and the void earth, including the sun, moon and stars, are just an illusory image in Miaoming's heart, not to mention the weight of the human body. You just want to practice light body kung fu, so why bother whether this feeling is real or not. ”

Helian Longshan asked again, "Master, what is Miao Ming's sincerity?"

Qian Muqing said: "We know the cold and the hot, the heart of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in the eyes of Buddhism is just an unreliable climbing heart, it is false and unreal, through the practice of monks, to preserve the truth, to give up the drag of the world, extinguish the selfish desires in the heart, and realize the Tao, in order to understand what is the true heart of Miaoming." ”

Helian Longshan felt that Master's remarks were unfathomable, and he didn't dare to ask any more, so he crossed his legs and continued to practice.
