Chapter 15: "Devilish Training"

In the hot summer, at noon, the hot sun, the hot mountain scenery, and the whole person also become hot and hot. At this time, Zhang Qiang stood at the entrance of the Qing Subtle Cave, drawing spells over and over again, and didn't even care about wiping the sweat on his face, after all, there were too many talismans to draw, and he couldn't say whether it was boring or had become a mechanical drawing spell.

When the breeze blows, have you ever noticed that there is a ripple rippling in someone's heart. Gently, there are thousands of wisps of emotion, inexhaustible complex feelings, and long-buried but silent lovesickness. It seems to be a little sweet, but also a little melancholy.

Inadvertently, Zhang Qiang actually entered a wonderful realm, and his mind was full of various scenes with the rain for a while, and these runes in front of him became a rain with different postures, but Zhang Qiang didn't notice at all at this time, the Xuanxu Daoist was walking out of the Qing Subtle Cave.

"Hey, this kid, what's the matter? He behaves strangely, sometimes he smiles, sometimes he sighs, sometimes he writes like a god, and his speed of drawing talismans is not inferior to mine? Seeing him like this, he is obviously missing his deceased wife. Could it be that this is the realm of the legendary 'only the ability to be extremely affectionate, and the first ability to be extremely emotional?'" Xuanxu stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Qiang at this moment and exclaimed.

"Obediently, I can understand a little bit why Judge Cui of the Difu, Zhong Kui Heavenly Master, as well as Uncle and Senior Brother, why they take such a fancy to this son. This son is really an uncarved 'jade and gold', and there are successors from my generation. Hahaha..."Xuan Xuan smiled heartily, that expression, outsiders seem to have suddenly 'picked up the treasure'.

"Uncle Shi, are you okay, why are you laughing?" Zhang Qiang suddenly asked.

"I'm clicking, your uncle can laugh if I want to, and I still need to explain it to you?" Xuan Xuan pretended to be angry.

"Eh, my nephew and nephew are too talkative. Zhang Qiang replied helplessly.

"By the way, let you draw the talismans, have you ever drawn them all?"

Zhang Qiang pointed to the few blank yellow pieces of paper next to the box that had not yet been drawn, and responded, "Uncle Qiqi, there are so many left." But what if my nephew has any questions?"

"What's the problem, but it's okay!" Xuan Xuan smiled.

"That's right, the disciple once went to Maoshan Mountain, and listened to the Taoist chief there say that an altar must be set up for the sacrifice of the talisman, and there is a time taboo for drawing talismans, for example, there are four days a year when you are not allowed to draw talismans, if you draw talismans on these four days, not only is it not effective, but it is also harmful. These four days are the ninth day of the third month, the second day of the sixth month of the sixth month, the sixth day of the ninth month, and the second day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. And like the Dragon Boat Festival, it is an auspicious day for drawing symbols and making symbols, and painting symbols and making symbols are mostly held on this day. This is especially true for drawing Dragon Boat Festival exorcisms. Then there is the best way to draw the symbols, and it is best to choose the sub-time or the sea time. It is said that at this time it is the time when the yang disappears and the yin and yang are long, and the aura is the heaviest, and it can also be used at noon, mao, and unitary. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but say the matter of these talismans in one breath. ”

"Hey, hey, I underestimate you kid, I remember these talismans quite clearly. That's pretty much it, but haven't you noticed that even if you can draw talismans now, do you know how to use them? You kid can't even absorb spiritual power, and you don't know how to use it. At most, when it is attacked by ghosts, it reacts passively and triggers a defensive effect. Should I call you stupid, or do I call you smart?"

"Then uncle, how can my nephew absorb the spiritual power of this heaven and earth, and use these spiritual powers to drive these spells?" Zhang Qiang asked, pointing to the newly placed charms on the box.

"It's not stupid, I finally know how to ask your uncle and me, how to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and use these spiritual powers. Xuan Xuan stroked his beard and smiled.

"Alright, even if you draw quickly, come back to the mountain for lunch. Xuanxu said to Zhang Qiang, and then walked straight towards Wu Tianyi Zhenqing Palace. He said to himself: "Dead boy, I plan to come out to see your jokes, as long as you don't finish drawing the talisman, I won't give you lunch, I didn't expect this stupid boy to be a blessing in disguise." Alas, this blessing is truly unparalleled. ”

"Uncle, can you ask the disciple if he can take the time to go home to see his family? Also, the disciple is just a lay disciple, can he occasionally go down the mountain to eat some meat food to better replenish his physical strength, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the running exercise that starts tomorrow morning." Last time, Patriarch Sanfeng told me that it is not necessary to abstain from meat and food in cultivation. Zhang Qiang asked in a low voice.

"I click, the good ones don't learn, the bad ones learn, it's okay to eat meat, but the aura of heaven and earth that you absorb like this will be impure. Also, you are now being targeted by the demon fairy to ward off evil spirits, and the object to be eliminated is not able to show up to find you now, but it does not mean that those ghosts under his command are coming to you. You go back, aren't you afraid that your family will be troubled by those ghosts?"

"Ahh Zhang Qiang said urgently.

I didn't see Xuanxu move, so he suddenly flashed to Zhang Qiang's side, put his arm around Zhang Qiang's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, since you joined my faction, I have sent my disciples to protect your family." Also, although you can't do it in the mountains, as long as you receive my 'hellish learning' and 'devilish training', you will have the opportunity to take you to eat some meat at the bottom of the mountain, and I will also teach you how to purify your aura." ”

As soon as he heard Xuanxu say 'devil-style training', Zhang Qiang chuckled in his heart, and it seemed that he was guilty again, but he still couldn't help asking: "Uncle Shi, what exactly is this 'devil-style training'?"

"Sample, isn't it just running back and forth four times around this Wutian Yizhenqing Palace and Wudang Golden Dome at the beginning of every day. Then I began to learn to draw talismans, at least one box a day, and then after drawing talismans, I began to practice my sect of mind, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and then practicing how to use spiritual power to use talisman spells. In general, it is called 'hellish learning' and 'devil's training', which is collectively called 'hellish devil's training'. Xuan Xuan said with a smile.

"Well, in order to return the rain and see my family as soon as possible, I am willing to work hard and tired. Zhang Qiang said firmly.

"You can teach, but this is only a one-month plan, of course, if you are not smart and diligent enough, then postpone it a little longer. Then the next thing is to take you out for training, go to various places to catch ghosts and subdue demons, so that you can have more actual combat experience. "So I advise you to be diligent and studyable, otherwise it won't do you much good if the study plan on the mountain is delayed. You must know that the more actual combat experience, the more chances you have to save your life, maybe you have such a deep fortune, what other adventures can you have. Even if you don't have an adventure, you can finally inspire the two ancestors in your body to 'Spiritual Mind Inheritance' in battle. Xuanxuan added with rare patience.

"Uncle Shi, please don't talk half the time you talk next time. Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly. In fact, he was both helpless and expectant about Xuanxu's plan. After all, he is also a young man, and when he was young, he also dreamed that he could be like Zhong Kui Heavenly Master, who could fight ghosts and demons with a sword. What's more, Zhang Qiang wants to practice the talisman spell even more, so that he can seal the demon god Houqing alive, and then save his wife Yuqing, and finally accompany him until he is old.

When Zhang Qiang and Xuanxu finished their lunch, it was already Shen Shi. At this time, just after the hottest hour of the day, in the empty and messy stone forest, a little cool breeze blew from time to time, which brought some coolness to Zhang Qiang who was tired, and also refreshed his mind by the way.

"Well, hmph, boy, next I want to teach you that I send spiritual energy to cultivate the mental method, mainly to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for my own use. And Senior Brother Xuan Guang and Xuan Sheng, what they practice is 'internal strength', and they are more about stimulating the potential in their bodies for their own use, and when they practice to the high and profound realm, they are also very tight. Xuan Xuan said to Zhang Qiang. Suddenly, there was a flick of dust on his hand, giving Zhang Qiang, who was showing his exhaustion, a blow. Said sternly: "Listen carefully to me, don't be drowsy and beg for beating." “

Zhang Qiang nodded helplessly, hurriedly beat his spirits, and listened to Xuanxu's explanation.

"Listen, my mind method is mainly divided into the following steps, first 'keep one', then 'guide', then 'exhale' and 'practice qi', so as to start 'building a foundation, then refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods', and finally 'refining gods and returning them to emptiness' and 'forming pills'. ”

"Next, I'll explain them one by one, and you prick up your ears and listen carefully, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat dinner. Xuanxu continued to add.

"Yes, the master and nephew should be like this. Zhang Qiang said respectfully.

"Hmm, huh. After listening carefully, the so-called 'keeping one' means 'holding the yuan and keeping one', on the other hand, introspection to achieve harmony with the form and spirit, that is, to concentrate on 'meditation'. Then there is 'guiding', that is, the mind directs the movements, the breath is pitched, the hands are bent to cooperate with the breath, and the luck is achieved from the top down or from the bottom up. Follow me and see if you can feel the flow of meridian aura in your body?" Xuan Xuan said as he demonstrated his movements to Zhang Qiang.

"Well, my nephew has felt it. Zhang Qiang followed Xuanxu's movements and responded slowly.

"Well, that's good. This is followed by 'breathing' and 'xingqi'. 'Spitting', that is, the nose inhales slowly, the inhalation is very full, and then the eyes are closed, and then the numbers are silently counted, from one to more than hundred. When the breath is held to the extreme, exhale slowly through the mouth, try to exhale the turbid air in the body from the mouth, and then slowly inhale the fresh air from the nose. And so on and so on a hundred times. After the 'breathing' is completed, the 'qi' begins, the breath is drawn in the nose and closed, the yin is counted to one hundred and twenty by the heart, and the mouth is slightly exhaled, and when breathing, the key points are light, slow, even, long, and deep. Practice should be gradual. Xuan Xuan slowly explained as he set an example.

"Do you feel the blocked meridians in your body beginning to slowly clear and flow smoothly?" Xuan Xuan added.

"Well, a little. Zhang Qiang responded slowly.

"Good, good. The next step is, 'Build the foundation, refine the qi, refine the qi, and refine the spirit'.

Follow me and start to 'build a foundation' now, that is, try to achieve the 'three perfections' realm of refinement, qi, and prosperity, which is what you must prepare for 'alchemy'. Then there is 'refining and refining gas'. That is, the essence and qi are combined to refine into qi, and the 'three return to two' is achieved. Then there is 'refining qi and transforming gods', that is, refining qi and gods, so that qi returns to gods, and achieves 'two to one'. There is no feeling. Xuan Xuan said slowly.

"Well, I feel it. Zhang Qiang responded. Fortunately, Zhang Qiang has seen and studied the 'introductory chapter' of the book "Qingwei Mysterious Mind Method" since he was a child, and he will listen to Xuanxu's careful explanation and demonstration, and slowly comprehend the mystery. Gradually, I felt that the essence and spirit in my body began to merge into one, and began to merge with the aura that had just been absorbed and guided, and I felt that the 'Taiji Yin and Yang Fish' form was formed in my body, and finally merged into one, returning to chaos and nothingness. Faintly looking inside, I can see that there is a thumb-sized 'Jindan' model in the body, which is emitting a faint golden light. ”

At this time, Xuanxuan was slightly distracted and watched Zhang Qiang start to settle down, slowly cultivate, and nodded in approval. After a while, I saw Zhang Qiang's faint golden light emitting from outside his body, and sighed: "I'll just say, that time at the foot of Wudang Mountain, when I first saw this son faintly had the prototype of 'Jindan', I really didn't look dazzled." If what I expected is right, this son should have been practicing the lost "Qingwei Mysterious Mind Method" of my patriarch since he was a child. I just hope that this son will not die in the next sealing demon star 'Houqing', then there is hope for the revival of our faction. Slowly, Xuan Xuan began to smile approvingly, and nodded his head without stopping.

"Boy, can you still hear me?" asked Xuanxu as he tried to speak.

"Uncle Shi, please speak. Zhang Qiang responded.

"Uh-huh, well, not bad. Feel the faint 'golden pill' in your body?" Xuan Xuan said approvingly.

"Yes, Uncle Shi. Thank you Uncle for your patient teaching. Zhang Qiang responded.

"Yes, yes, I don't want to take any credit, I want to count the credit, mainly because of the book "Qingwei Mysterious Heart Method" left by the ancestor, but fortunately, your kid can endure his temperament and practice it since he was a child. Hahaha," Xuanxu said with a heartfelt smile.

"Okay, in the end, it's 'refining the gods and returning the void' and 'knotting'. Listen to me, the so-called 'refining the gods and returning the void', that is, "practicing one and nothing" to reach the highest state of being true to the Tao, and you have already begun to reach this step on your own. It is really commendable, as long as you practice hard and continue to consolidate it, during the holidays, you will definitely be able to produce a "golden pill" in the shape of "as big as an egg" and brilliant in your body, so as to step into the realm of "human immortals", and then you will be able to freely use the treasure of my faction town faction 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword', in that case, when the time comes to seal the demon star 'Houqing', you will have a lot of chances to live. So, boy, practice hard, Uncle Shi is optimistic about you!"

"Yes, my nephew and nephew thank you for your careful teaching, and I will definitely practice hard in the future. Zhang Qiang said firmly.

"Okay, add to that. As I said earlier, when you rest at night, you should meditate and rest while practicing. "Xuanxu Zhengse.

"Don't worry, looking at you like that, I'm still worried that my uncle will torture you, but it's just that it's hard at the beginning, and you will find that it will be infinitely useful after you practice. The next thing I want to teach you is the 'Fetal Breath Gong', as long as you study hard and practice it well, once this 'Fetal Breath Gong' is practiced to the fullest, you can reach the magical realm of food qi and Bigu. Before Zhang Qiang could speak, Xuan Xuan hurriedly said.

"The so-called 'fetal breath work' means that 'those who have fetal breath can not breathe with their mouth and nose, as in the twins'. That is, breathing without the mouth and nose, as in the middle of a pregnancy, is fetal breathing. The mouth and nose are just the gateway to breathing, and the dantian is the source of qi. In fact, it is a highly gentle abdominal breathing method induced by the mind. It's like a human being can be in the womb of an unborn baby, 'self-contained, holding on to one, and holding one' to swallow it. Uncle Shi will show you, you try to learn, if you have any doubts, just ask. Xuan Xuan patiently explained.

Zhang Qiang nodded, and tried to practice with Xuanxu, but after less than a quarter of an hour of holding his breath and practicing, he exhaled and coughed.

Xuanxu on the side laughed and said, "Boy, I've tasted the bitterness." Practicing this skill is not an overnight exercise. And if you want to learn this, you must work harder than during the day. Now you feel like I'm going to be in hell with the devil, right?"

"By the way, do you know who I sent to complete this skill in less than a month at the earliest, except for the Qing Patriarch?" I saw Xuan Xuan smirk.

"Of course it's Uncle Shi, you are called a genius by the spirit body of the Patriarch of Shouqing!" Zhang Qiang hurriedly complimented.

"Haha, yes, yes, the kid is getting more and more likeable. This comprehension is growing! rare, rare!" Xuan Xuan said with a smile.

looked at Xuanxu's unbridled laughing appearance. Zhang Qiang could only shake his head helplessly, and sighed secretly in his heart: "At this moment, I finally understand, no wonder Uncle Xuanxu, Master, Uncle will say that Uncle Xuanxu is a man of temperament!"

"Alright, boy, let you rest for a quarter of an hour. After tasting what I just taught, especially the 'Fetal Breath Gong', I have learned it, and it will be of infinite use in the future, understand?"

"After resting, I will teach you how to use the absorbed aura, use talismans and spells. Xuan Xufu added.

"Yes, everything is up to Uncle Shi's arrangement. Zhang Qiang replied respectfully.

(Special note: In view of the fact that this novel is entrusted by a Taoist friend, with the purpose of restoring and explaining some Taoist exercises, legendary figures, various legends, etc., the novel will have some more detailed explanations and descriptions of exercises, characters, legends, etc., which makes the novel a bit boring, and I hope readers will understand and support it.)
