Chapter 7 Cultivating the Tao Sutra

Mu Yi reads the ancient books of the previous dynasty in the back room every day, and his understanding of the Taoist scriptures is getting deeper, and he can't help but think: This Taoist scripture talks about the truth of all things, all of which teach people how to cultivate their self-cultivation and self-cultivation, hold the yuan and keep one, and retreat to strengthen the body and prolong life.

Just because from ancient times to the present, no one has been seen flying in the daytime, and even the emperor of the previous dynasty couldn't beg for it, so that the scriptures were burned down. But this sutra is not refined, there is no normality in the world, why don't I try it with my own body, and it will be no big problem to think about it. Don't seek such ethereal things as ascension, just be able to strengthen your body. The sage said: "It is okay to die at night." "Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't do it myself and explore the mystery of this sutra?

Mu Yi has a childish temperament, and immediately does what he thinks, and picks out some relatively complete scriptures from the remaining Taoist scriptures and puts them in front of him. What "Huainanzi", "Nanhua Zhenjing", "Hug Puzi" and other more than ten books are relatively perfect, Mu Yi summarized and saw some doorways.

The Tao Sutra is mainly divided into two factions, one is mainly to practice qi, advocating that the true qi run back and forth from the meridians, refining the meridians, communicating with heaven and earth, and finally living with heaven and earth, and the sun and moon with light. But it's a pity that there is no detailed record, only the meridian acupuncture points, I don't know what the true qi is. The other faction is mainly based on alchemy, which is divided into two kinds of Dan, the inner Dan is made in the dantian, and the outer Dan needs to find the treasures of spiritual grass and refine it into a Dan to take. The inner and outer Dan can be feathered and soared, and the day becomes an immortal.

Mu Yi thought to himself, the Alchemy Sect is going to open the furnace to practice the pill, where can I, the grass people, go to find these spiritual grasses, besides, many emperors and vassal kings have died because of taking these elixirs, it is better to try to practice qi. Even if it doesn't work, at least it won't kill you. It's just that I don't know what this true qi is, thinking about people's qi is nothing more than the qi of the chest and lungs on the upper part and the qi of the abdomen and intestines below, but I have never heard of this true qi alone.

Mu Yi was helpless, so he had to pick out seven or eight Taoist scriptures for practicing qi and figure them out carefully. In the end, it was decided to start with the second pulse of Ren Du. I also think that the qi of people has the qi of the lungs and the qi of the intestines, so why not try whether the qi of the lungs can run through the meridians. Immediately hugged Yuan Shouyi, five hearts to the sky, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, inhaled and exhaled.

After a while, Mu Yi stuck out his tongue and smiled bitterly: "Lung qi is nothing more than the word breathing, and it is nonsense to think about introducing meridians." ”

However, having tried, Mu Yi didn't want to give up halfway. He thought to himself that even if this was not beneficial to cultivation, he could calm his mind and clear his mind, and it was not bad to think about it. So I imagined that the air flow would circulate with the various acupuncture points of Ren Du's second vein for a week before I stopped meditating.

Mu Yi opened his eyes and moved his lower limbs, and there was no difference. laughed at himself: "I'm afraid it's also a kid, I'm whimsical." "But after half a day of pranayama, my spirit has improved a lot, and then Mu Yi picked up the lamp to read at night, and he didn't feel tired, so it was not bad to think of this method as a rest.

In the following months, Mu Yi studied hard and was tired, so he meditated for a long time according to the method of qi he created. Gradually, Mu Yi felt that his body, which had been weakened by hard study, gradually became stronger, and Mu Yi began to return to his own illusion. It wasn't until the Yun clan was also amazed that Mu Yi was much stronger, that he realized that this method of qi seemed to have some effect. So meditating and resting without anything has become a compulsory course for Mu Yi every day.

In the blink of an eye, the day of autumn enrollment is approaching. Mu Yi has been studying hard at home since he was a child, and he is taught by his father, so he doesn't need to find a private school teacher. But because of this, I don't have many playmates. When it came to going to the academy to study, he was both excited and worried, and he didn't know if he could get along with his classmates in the academy.

The father was relieved: "Xiucai who went to the academy to study was to get the guidance of Mr. and the title of the gold list, not to find fox friends and dog friends. Most people are knowledgeable and don't need to worry. After that, he was a little uneasy, so he said: "Another day, I will invite the gentlemen who are familiar with the academy to come to my house for a gathering, and ask the old masters to take care of you more, presumably there is no big deal." ”

After a few days, Mu Xuezheng really invited several old friends who were familiar with the academy to his home and entrusted Mu Yi's affairs to you.

All the old scholars are Mu Tianyang's old acquaintances, so they naturally agreed. Especially Old Master Zhao, who is over sixty years old and has been teaching for nearly forty years, is full of peach and plums, and he loves a talent like Mu Yi who entered the academy at a young age. only said that he would include Mu Yi under his name and teach carefully. Mu Tianyang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Mu Yi to kneel down and toast and perform the rites of disciples.

On the opening day of the academy, Mu Yi tested the talent and literature, so he followed Old Master Zhao to listen to the class. Along the road, I couldn't help but marvel at the carved beams and paintings of the academy and the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "Qiaoshan Academy was built by the sage Gu Nianzhang thousands of years ago. When Sage Gu traveled to Anchuan, he saw that this place was backed by Lingshan, facing the sea, the scenery was picturesque, and there was the Anchuan River at the foot of the mountain, and he suddenly felt that this place was a blessed land on earth, so he stayed here to teach his disciples. Because there is a mountain behind this academy and a bridge in front of the door, it is named Bridge Mountain. Even the later county town of Anchuan was built around the academy. Although Qiaoshan Academy is small, it can raise more people and Jinshi on the list every year than other colleges in Lingzhou combined. Mu Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it seems that he has come to the right place.

Since then, Mu Yi has been studying early and studying late in the academy. But the more Mu Yi reads, the more he feels that he is not the material for studying liberal arts, and when he writes poems, his head is as big as a fight. Old Master Zhao hated that iron could not become steel, and the sentence "rotten wood cannot be carved" was always on his lips, which made him even more depressed. Fortunately, there is no restriction on people to listen to each subject of the college, and Mu Yi likes all kinds of things since he was a child, so he often goes to other departments to audit and relieve the boredom in his heart.

Mu Yi is especially fond of the military department, and he also has a lot of experience when he listens to the old master Li Zhihe of the military department talk about various war deeds in history. Occasionally answering Mr. Li's questions, all of them are unique, and they are very appreciated by Mr. Li. Later, Old Master Li actually wanted to summon Mu Yi to his name, thinking that this son was very talented in the art of war, and he might be able to enter high school in the future.

But he didn't think about it, Old Master Zhao responded to Mu Tianyang's love, but he didn't agree. The two old masters almost fell out, blowing their beards and staring at each other in the academy, and finally Mu Tianyang rushed to the academy and compensated the two old masters, and explained that he only wanted to teach Mu Yi to read liberal arts, and he had no idea of changing the military department, so Old Master Li gave up.

After returning home, Mu Yi was severely punished by Mu Tianyang, and stood in the house and thought about it. Yun Shi saw that his son was pitiful, and couldn't help but say: "Since Yi'er likes military science, just ask him to study, why bother with him not to study liberal arts." ”

Mu Tianyang was still angry, and said angrily: "In the woman's opinion, the military department can indeed worship the generals and honor the ancestors." But they all have to go to the battlefield to fight to establish fame. Besides, the frontier is far away, and you can't go home to visit all year round, are you willing to do it?"

The Yun family was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly went into the house to persuade Mu Yi to study liberal arts, even if he became a teacher in the end, it was much better than going to the battlefield.

Mu Yi understood his parents' hard work, so he had to let go of the idea of changing subjects, but every time he took the small exam in the academy, his grades were very poor, which made him extremely frustrated. Mu Tianyang didn't worry too much, he only said that he was only promoted at the age of twenty-five, and he was already young and promising, Mu Yi was only fourteen years old, and it was too early to talk about the middle move.

Mu Yi saw that his father was not in a hurry, and his heart was a little lighter. He wanted to be admitted to the Jinshi because he wanted to make his father happy, but he didn't have the idea of being an official. In his spare time, he meditated and practiced qi, and his body gradually became stronger. For this reason, he began to go to the martial arts department to audit, wanting to practice martial arts, even if he can't be lifted in the future, he can also have a skill, so as not to be said to be a poor and sour talent, and he has no power to restrain the chicken.

Teacher Wu Ke is Mu Tianyang's old friend Qian Yong, who cares about Mu Yi and always gives him instructions. Mu Yi also looked like he was learning, and he was quite happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that there were all gangsters in the martial arts, and he couldn't get used to Mu Yi, an auditor, being able to get guidance.

On this day, taking advantage of Qian Yong's absence, a few martial arts boys pulled Mu Yi to the corner of the wall and beat him fatly, Mu Yi's fists were invincible to four hands, and he was not as thick as a few people, his nose and face were swollen, and his whole body was blue and purple. After returning home at night, he didn't dare to tell his parents, but it was caused by a slippery road fall, and his mother blamed him for being careless while giving him medicine, and he had to send him to the academy in person in the future.

For a period of time after that, although Mu Yi was aggrieved, he was afraid that he would be beaten back for his mother to see, so he didn't dare to go to Wuke to listen anymore, which made Qian Yong very puzzled. Mu Yi had no choice but to shirk and say that because Old Master Zhao had been busy with his homework recently and had no leisure, he barely covered up the past.

But whatever he was afraid of, Mu Yi went to a liberal arts class one day, and ran into Wu Ke Wednesday and others who beat him last time. He deliberately avoided it, but was still pushed into a corner by several people.

Mu Yi said angrily: "I didn't go to Wuke to observe, and I came to provoke me." ”

Wednesday laughed: "Master just likes to beat you, what does it have to do with where you go." ”

After that, a few people raised their fists and were about to start fighting. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting behind me: "The head of the Qian sect is here!"

As soon as Wednesday and the others turned around and slipped away, a figure rushed to Mu Yi and pulled him away. Wednesday realized that his voice was wrong, looked back, and scolded: "It's Yue Ting, you bastard!"
