Chapter 4 Cultivating the Mind, Cultivating
"Xiao Fan!" As soon as he entered the house, Yunchen saw that the short but sturdy figure was working iron.
"Yunchen, you're here." Yue Xiaofan put down the hammer, grinned, and scratched his head innocently.
The two came to a brotherly hug.
When he first arrived in Sifang Village, Yunchen was thin and small, and he was often bullied by naughty children in the village. Whenever Yunchen's nose was blue and his face was swollen and tears flowed, Yue Xiaofan always fished out a fish or a few crabs from the river like a trick. And Yunchen often tells Xiaofan about the prosperity of the city.
"Xiao Fan, remember to practice hammer when you go back, don't think about being lazy!" Tie Tianqiong knocked on Yue Xiaofan's skull and admonished.
"Master Tie, if you practice this hammer technique, can you really shake the sky?"
"Yes!" Tie Tianqiong replied half-jokingly.
At this moment, he didn't know what impact this word "can" would have on Yue Xiaofan.
In the blacksmith shop, Yunchen and the blacksmith sat opposite each other.
"Uncle Tie, why don't you talk about the essentials of realm division first." Yunchen couldn't wait.
"Yun boy, you have to listen well."
"The realm of martial artists can be divided into nine grades. Today, let's talk about these five products first. ”
"Nine Grades: Artistic Conception."
"Those who have the shape and intention will train their bodies outside. That is, to practice foreign kung fu, train the muscles of the whole body to a developed level, and then introduce a trace of heaven and earth qi into the body, and the shape and artistic conception are formed. ”
"Eight Pins: Qi Harmony Realm."
"Those who are in harmony with the qi will cultivate the scriptures inside. That is, because the heaven and earth qi enter the body, until the qi can circulate on its own in the body for a week, the great Zhou Tiancheng, and the qi is formed. ”
"Seven Grades: Mud Pill Realm."
"As long as you lead this realm, it is to open up the dantian and store the qi in the dantian. But at this time, the dantian is extremely fragile, like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, so it is called a mud pill. The dantian is full, and the mud pill is formed. ”
"Six products, out of the realm of rebirth."
"The key to this realm is to strengthen the body, meridians and dantian again, so that the container that carries the qi machine is stronger, as if it has been reborn. Those who have cultivated in this realm will have greatly improved their continuous combat ability and become more resilient. ”
"The above four realms, the gap is not big, for example, the explosive ability of a cultivated mud pill in a short period of time can be no less than that of rebirth..."At this point, Tie Tianqiong paused, "But this five-grade Xuanfu can be called different from the lower four realms. ”
"When cultivation reaches the pinnacle of rebirth, you can open up the Xuanfu within your own meridians, which requires an extremely large amount of qi and a tough physical body. Those who can open up a Xuanfu can be called a Xuanfu monk. ”
"Then what is the use of this Xuanfu?" Yunchen expressed doubt.
"Let's put it this way, Xuanfu can be regarded as another dantian, which can compress the qi, store the qi, and strengthen the meridians."
Yunchen rubbed his eyes, thoughtful.
"By the way, Uncle Tie, can a martial artist only open up one Xuanfu?"
"Most of them are like this, but there are also a few genius-level martial artists who can open up multiple Xuan Mansions. It is said that almost everyone in the first generation of Daoying at that time was three or four Xuanfu. And the legend has it that the saint is actually a cultivator of the Wuxuan Mansion..."Tie Tianqiong smacked his lips and sighed, "In that era, it can be said that the gods fought, and mortals suffered..."
Private.
The incense was about to burn out, and the portrait of the Taoist and the Buddha seemed to have returned to its former indifference.
However, the birdsong still did not make noise again.
Chen Wang stood in front of the portrait with his hands arched, his body trembling slightly, because of the depressing atmosphere at the moment, the words that had been heart-wrenching before.
"Sit down." Chen Lian walked into the room and pointed to the futon on the ground.
"Dad, I..." Chen Wang hesitated, but sat down anyway.
"Is it wrong?"
"Students know what to expect...... Dad, I will copy the Tao Te Ching. ”
"No hurry, I'm not asking you this." Chen Lian waved his hand, "What is your understanding of today's words?" ”
"Mr. Hui, the reality is cruel, don't be self-righteous."
"Do you still want to change the world?"
“……”
Chen Lian was a little disappointed.
"Dad, I'll be honest, don't punish me."
"Tell me about it."
"I still want to change the world, but if the reality is too cruel, I... I might compromise too. ”
"Bow down to what you think is greedy, evil, hypocrisy?" Chen Lian frowned, but the corners of his mouth flashed with some smiles.
This kid has grown up.
"Dad, I..." Chen Wang was a little anxious, he stood up and stammered.
"Chen Wang." Dad suddenly became serious
"Huh?" Chen Lian was a little overwhelmed.
"Chen Wang."
"The students are here!"
"Stick to your inner judgment at all times. Do you still remember the four-character mantra of the Confucian Mr. Yang Ming? I've only told you about it. ”
"Unity of knowledge and action?"
"Well, the unity of knowledge and action, understand?"
"I see, sir." Chen Wang saluted respectfully.
Chen Lian suddenly smiled mysteriously, "No, you didn't... At least not yet. ”
"Okay, okay, my own family, don't put on the face of Mr. Student. By the way, Xue'er is a good baby, don't let people down. ”
"Okay, Daddy." Chen Wang also showed a relieved smile, waved his hand, and ran out.
"Just like I did......" Chen Lian murmured.
Blacksmith's shop.
"For a warrior, the most fundamental point is the control of power. The power can be retracted and released freely, which can greatly reduce the loss of gas when facing the enemy. ”
Tie Tianqiong took a piece of hard mud and spread a piece of rice paper on it. He handed Yunchen a 20-pound sledgehammer, "Hammer the mud into mud blocks with a diameter of no more than one inch, and the rice paper on it will not break, which can be regarded as a small success." ”
Yunchen took a deep breath, picked up the sledgehammer, and smashed it down-
There is no doubt that the soil is torn apart, and so is the rice paper.
Yunchen's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was no big surprise.
Again, the results have not changed in the slightest.
Again, it's still the case.
One more time...
Again...
More than ten times in a row, a lot of clay tablets and rice paper were wasted, but the results were very different.
"Boy, if you carefully understand the control of that kind of power, if you practice blindly like this, you won't be able to get started for ten years." Iron Sky Dome shouted.
Yunchen thought for a moment and took another piece of mud.
He recalls the days and nights he spent practicing boxing every day, and he recalls the feeling of the wind flowing in his fingertips.
Hammered up and suspended in the air.
Hammer down.
The rice paper is still cracked, but the situation is much better than before.
Tie Tianqiong on the side also smiled, this kid, he really has nothing to say about his understanding.
This afternoon, Yunchen spent all his time in the blacksmith shop. The sound of "Bang Bang" has also been echoing in the village.
"That's it for today." Tie Tianqiong looked at Yun Chen, whose right arm was swollen, his whole body was red, and he was sitting on the ground with some detachment, and "intimately" tied the stones on his legs.
Yunchen smiled bitterly, and had to walk back with footwork. He looked himself up and down: he felt that he was also quite diligent, and he was not slow to learn things, so why was he still a shape?
Yunchen limped outside the house, and the incense blacksmith said goodbye. At this time, a drop of rain fell on Yunchen's face. Yunchen wiped his face and saw the dark clouds in the sky.
It's raining.
