Chapter 13: Refining the Dantian
“...... The human body has 52 single acupoints, 309 double acupoints, and 48 extra-meridian acupoints, a total of 409 acupuncture points. There are 12 meridians around the five internal organs, the center of the front of the body has the Ren vein, and the back of the body has the Du vein in the center, each of which runs through the whole body. The acupuncture points of the human body arranged along these fourteen meridians are called the main acupoints, with a total of 365 ......"
“...... Mortal warriors use martial arts to prove the Tao, mainly cultivating the one hundred and eight acupuncture points around the body. Seventy-two of the one hundred and eight acupuncture points will not damage the body by ordinary means, such as pointing, pressing, kneading, etc., but the other thirty-six acupoints are fatal acupoints, which are commonly known as dead acupoints......"
Outside the window, the summer cicadas chirped noisily, and Li Yunuan listened boredly to Uncle Liu Zhenhua, who was in a black robe, holding a bamboo pole and pointing to the life-size bronze figure with full marks all over his body, explaining the distribution of acupoints and meridians in the human body.
Half a month ago, Uncle Lin Qingquan, who died unexpectedly, was officially buried. On the day of the funeral, Li Yunuan and the female disciples of Haoyueju went to mourn, but they looked around but never found Senior Brother An, and no one mentioned his name, as if he had never existed.
The days are still calm, and Li Yunuan's life is still the same rhythm, getting up early and going down the mountain to get water and pick firewood, helping the teachers in the inner mountain to grind medicinal herbs, take care of the spirit grass, feed the spirit beasts, and spend their spare time reading books in the library, or practicing on their own in a secluded place. If there is any change, it is that she is more and more inseparable from Senior Sister Bai Yanxue, and even when she picks up firewood and carries water, Senior Sister will accompany her.
As time goes by, it is inevitable that there will be gossip in Haoyueju, they either envy Li Yunuan's stupid fortune and get the meticulous care of her senior sister, or they conspire to think that Bai Yanxue and Li Yunuan are friends in order to enjoy the feeling of being worshipped. And Li Yunuan, a shameless waste, also took the opportunity to climb on Senior Sister Bai's thigh.
No one knows what to say, and the so-called girlfriends actually have their own hearts. Bai Yanxue's "love" for Li Yunuan is that she is afraid that Li Yunuan will denounce herself, but Haoyueju is heavily guarded and cannot kill people, so she can only follow and monitor every day!
For example, today, Bai Yanxue sat next to Li Yunuan in a natural posture, ignoring Li Yunuan's own feelings.
Alas!
Secretly glancing at Bai Yanxue, who was staring at her, Li Yunuan sighed, lowered her head, and continued to make a serious transcription.
Unlike Uncle Lin Qingquan's approachability, Uncle Liu Zhenhua is always cold, unsmiling, and tough when teaching, unlike Uncle Lin, who is kind and seductive. But the content of his lecture is also substantial, and the power of the star dust that Li Yunuan inadvertently stepped on is a cultivation method that no one can give guidance, and if he wants to improve, he can only watch and learn more, and explore the path among the classics and professors of the Ten Thousand Masters on his own.
After talking about the acupoints for a while, Liu Zhenhua saw that most of the students below were careless, and he was suddenly unhappy, stopped, and said sharply: "I know that you don't want to hear the Dao, I think that the monks absorb the qi of heaven and earth, and they don't need to know how the martial artists in the mortal world of the Dao refine the acupoints to enhance their physique." Yes, Xiuzhen and Xiuwu are two completely different paths. Those who cultivate the truth are calm, and those who cultivate martial arts are strong and competitive. But whether it is cultivation or martial arts, the highest state is the unity of heaven and man, that is, the Tao!"
"I repeat again, there are 365 main acupoints in the human body, and 108 vital acupoints, which are divided into 36 dead acupoints and 72 ordinary acupoints. These numbers are all in line with the number of heaven and earth, which shows that there is a connection between the human body and heaven and earth, and heaven and man are sensitive!"
Hearing this, Li Yunuan's originally sleepy eyelids suddenly raised.
"Martial artists cultivate their physique, and Taoists cultivate their souls. However, whether it is physical cultivation or spiritual cultivation, it is based on the communication between the human body and the universe. Because the martial artist only pays attention to the physique, he only cultivates the one hundred and eight acupuncture points of Tiangang and the earth evil. But in fact, there are a total of 3,000 acupuncture points in the human body, and all 3,000 acupoints can be enlightened, but most of the cultivation methods of acupoints are eventually eliminated because they are too dangerous or the progress is slow. In today's cultivation realm, only the main cultivation methods are Dantian Naqi and Sea Awareness and Cultivating God. ”
"What does Uncle Liu mean is that even if the dantian and the sea of knowledge are abolished, people can continue to cultivate?"
Someone in the seat asked questions, Li Yunuan turned his head sideways, and found that it was Xu Yuanyuan, who had a strange temperament in Bai Yanxue's mouth, who asked the question.
Although Xu Yuanyuan's question was indeed a bit ridiculous, because she had similar questions in her heart, Li Yunuan hurriedly pricked up her ears and waited for Uncle Liu to answer.
"Your question is very well asked. Yes, there are 3,000 acupuncture points in the human body, and all 3,000 acupuncture points can be preached. Even if the dantian and the sea of knowledge are abolished, theoretically they can continue to practice. But for thousands of years, there have been countless people with extraordinary talents and countless people with great perseverance, but no one can really cultivate the Great Dao after being abolished Dantian and Zhihai! So your idea may be correct, but ...... So far...... There are no winners. Got it?"
"Understood. ”
Xu Yuanyuan said softly, with a hint of frustration in her eyes, Li Yunuan saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart: Bai Yanxue is not the same kind on the outside, and Xu Yuanyuan may not be the selfishness of everyone.
After explaining Xu Yuanyuan's doubts about the three thousand tricks, Liu Zhenhua said: "You have been practicing in the Ten Thousand Origin Sect for more than half a year, and you must have a certain understanding of the dantian. There are three dantian in the human body, the one between the two eyebrows is the upper dantian, the one under the heart is the middle dantian, and the one below the umbilicus is the lower dantian. Of course, although there are three dantians in the human body, when actually practicing, except for special circumstances, the general reference to dantian refers to the lower dantian. The lower dantian is the most closely related to the human body, and it is an important part of the collection, cooking, and storage of true qi. Therefore, after the dantian was abolished, it was almost impossible to continue to practice. ”
In the last sentence, Liu Zhenhua added a little true qi, which shocked the students in the seat, and their hair stood upside down, and their bodies were cold.
"But ......"
Li Yunuan raised his hand timidly, and Liu Zhenhua saw that the questioner was Li Yunuan, who had the worst talent in the outer door, so he was inevitably unhappy, and snorted: "Do you have any questions?"
“...... I...... Uncle Shi just said...... The main means of cultivation are Dantian Naqi and Knowing the Sea and cultivating the gods, but ...... There are 3,000 acupuncture points in the human body...... Is there really no way to refine the Dao with the rest of the acupuncture points?"
Liu Zhenhua was stunned for a moment, he was very talented, from the first day of cultivation he was told that the cultivation of the Tao is mainly based on the cultivation of dantian and the cultivation of the sea, and he has never thought about it for more than a hundred years: what kind of classics are there only about the refining methods of the sea and dantian?
But he is an elder, and he doesn't like to be asked.
After a little hesitation, an explanation came to mind.
"As I said earlier, the refining methods of the rest of the acupuncture techniques have been eliminated because they are too dangerous or the progress is slow! Naturally, the records of their refining techniques have been lost! Have you listened carefully to the lectures!"
"But...... Uncle Shi just said that there are 3,000 acupuncture points in the human body, and all 3,000 acupuncture points can be preached. If no one has ever preached the Tao with acupuncture points other than the dantian and the sea of knowledge, what is the reason...... There will be this sentence left ......"
Li Yunuan argued cautiously, Liu Zhenhua was annoyed and angry, and rebuked: "It's just a legend! There are often stories in the mortal world about a nameless boy who fell off a cliff and was given a peerless master to cultivate and turn into a martial arts master! But anyone who knows a little bit about the foundation of refining the body and refining the gods knows that this kind of thing cannot happen! Therefore, legends are legends after all, at least in the current cultivation realm, no one has yet been able to refine the three thousand acupuncture points to cross the Nine Tribulations Dao! I tell you. The human body has 3,000 knacks, and 3,000 acupuncture points can all be enlightened', I hope you understand that there is no end to learning, and the road is endless, instead of letting you think wildly!"
"Yes, I know I'm wrong. ”
Li Yunuan said sneeringly, and a low and inaudible laughter appeared behind the seat in front of him.
Seeing that she admitted her mistake, Liu Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction, coughed, signaled the students to be quiet, and then continued to lecture.
......
......
"You are Li Yunuan?"
After class, Li Yunuan, who walked out of Pusantang with Bai Yanxue, was suddenly stopped by the bright girl who was walking towards her, and suddenly, dozens of eyes fell on her.
Li Yunuan stood up and said, "I'm Li Yunuan, I don't know what to call my senior sister." ”
"I am Murong Shuang, Murong Shuang under Su Zhenren of Yan Luofeng, and Murong Feng, the general of the Great Qi Zhenguo, is my father. ”
The bright girl said proudly, she is twenty-eight years old, her hair is combed into a double-ring flying fairy, decorated with pearls, dressed in an apricot thin shirt skirt, holding a purple gold short cane, the mountain breeze is coming, the clothes are elegant, and the bright eyes and teeth are more and more beautiful.
“...... Senior Sister Murong stopped me...... Any advice?"
Li Yunuan said cautiously, she remembered Su Hongye, and she also remembered the disdain in the eyes of the fairy girl in the pink shirt.
"The selection of female disciples in this sect has always been lenient, but even so, it is not easy for female disciples of the outer gate to enter the inner gate through the examination!"
The girl said arrogantly, waving the purple gold staff in her hand, and suddenly the air flowed backwards, and a wind blade flew out, thanks to Li Yunuan's dodge in time, this was just a strand of hair.
Covering her painful face, Li Yunuan's face was full of consternation: In front of everyone's eyes, she actually dared to hurt people, and she was not afraid of punishment by the door rules! But when she raised her head, she found that the people around her were watching and sneering, and her heart suddenly became cold.
Sure enough, no one wants to risk offending the senior sister of the inner door and stand up to help her, a recognized waste!
"Senior sister, you-"
She questioned, but Murong Shuang didn't think so, and scolded: "What about beating you? a waste like you, no matter how hard you try, you can't enter the inner mountain!" But there was a strong vinegar smell in her words.
Li Yunuan understood.
Murong Shuang's provocation was actually jealousy, she was jealous that she had been looked at differently by Elder Jianglu.
She glanced at Bai Yanxue, Senior Sister Bai, who had always been in a good posture in front of people, and hid herself in the crowd without a trace.
She knew that she had to endure it at this time, but she couldn't do it, the Northern Qi general who washed the Southern Tang Palace in blood was Murong Feng!
The golden ball in the sea is running rapidly, and the golden silk thread flows into the arms and unblocks the meridians.
She staggered to her feet, stepped forward, looked at Murong Shuang, and said word by word: "Senior Sister Murong, cultivation has to endure loneliness, although people with extraordinary talents will be easier than people with mediocre qualifications at the beginning." However, the thousands of years of inheritance of Wan Shizong have also been passed down to those who are mediocre in talent but come later. The reason is that most of the highly gifted people can not see the efforts of the gifted, they are accustomed to the pride brought by the talent, and when they see the gifted and mediocre surpass themselves, they do not know how to reflect, but give birth to negative emotions, jealousy, depravity, self-willingness, and finally cut off from the avenue. ”
"You-"
Unexpectedly, the beggar girl was so sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, Murong Shuang was so angry that her face was pale, and she was about to wave the purple gold staff to drive the magic circle to knock Li Yunuan off the cliff, but because she saw Liu Zhenhua close at hand, she had to stomp her foot fiercely and scolded: "The truth is true, but you are so mediocre, no matter how hard you work, you will not be able to worship Yan Luofeng, let alone have a chance to surpass me as a genius!
- If Murong Shuang really made a move, he might be killed by Li Yunuan, who cultivated the secret method of Tantric Buddhism with the power of star dust!
