Chapter 20: Nightfall
Hou Yu's cultivation has entered the right path, and it can be said that he has traveled a thousand miles in a day.
Of course, a thousand miles a day is just his own feeling, compared to the previous slow turtle crawling; In the eyes of a true cultivation genius, this kind of entry is nothing more than that, it is just a normal cultivation speed, and it is far from amazing.
The Pulse Realm is originally a realm that is very easy to pass through, and in line with the principle that the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to enter the realm, it is impossible to find a realm that is simpler than the pulse, and it is impossible for a cultivator to swallow saliva endlessly for a lifetime, and finally achieve a narcissus.
According to the Taoist texts, when a practitioner enters the Tao, he will generally stay in the Pulse Realm for one to three months, and he is a genius within one month, and a fool outside of three months.
Now, everything is on track.
Among the three Taoist books given by Chong Ling Daoist, he chose the Dragon and Tiger Expedition starting from Xia Dantian. There is no special reason, it's just that he tried all the qigong techniques, and found that the dragon and tiger guizheng had the best effect, which was slightly better than the Shentong Yinyuan and Taishang guidance.
Under normal circumstances, if there are elders around you, or Taoist masters, they will choose the direction of qi induction according to each person's different qualifications, temperament, and spiritual root tendencies, in order to lay the foundation in the future, so it is not as fast as possible.
But for him, there was no one to guide him, and he was not young in terms of cultivation, and the time he had lost before had to be regained, so he could only cultivate which one was fast.
Chong Ling gave him three exercises, two of which were cultivated in the middle of the dantian and one in the lower dantian, and the tendency was already obvious, that is, to tell him that it was best to cultivate the middle dantian, which was also the cultivation concept of the Daomen, and most of them started their own cultivation path from the middle dantian.
It is also the standard way to start the Fa Xiu.
The middle dantian is the middle acupoint in the chest, called "Jiang Palace", and the part of the heart is gathered by the sect. It is also said that the giant cave is also known as the spiritual platform. The length of the torso is multiplied by the position of 0.618 from the lower yin.
In the dantian is where it is, for the twelve floors from the pulp to the Huang Ting, with the cowherd on behalf of the heart for the yang, there are liver, gallbladder and spleen are their own full-time, and they cultivate the heart field together, so there is 'my family specializes in planting their own fields, can raise spiritual seedlings to live for 10,000 years, irrigation must rely on the valley spring, one day the merit is full, it is Penglai Daluo Xian. 'That's what it said.
The lower dantian is the Ren Maiguan Yuan acupoint, the Shen Ji acupoint, three inches below the umbilicus, which is the place where the essence is hidden, and it is roughly the part around the navel. The acupuncture points under the umbilicus of the abdomen, such as Yinjiao, Qihai, Shimen, Guan Yuan, Shenque, and Mingmen, are also known as 'dantian'.
The lower dantian is the positive dantian, under the umbilicus, or it is called the sea of qi, the place of hiding life.
Generally speaking, the intention to keep the dantian refers to the intention to guard the dantian. Because this part is the most closely related to the life activities of the human body, it is located in the center of the human body, and is the starting point of the meridian qi operation of the three meridians of the Ren Pulse, the Du Pulse and the Chong Pulse, and the twelve meridians are also directly or indirectly entered into the meridian through the dantian, and then transferred to the internal organs.
The lower dantian is the base for the lifting, opening and closing of the true qi, and it is also the place where men hide sperm and women raise their wombs.
The ancestor of life, the source of vitality, the root of the five internal organs, the root of the twelve meridians, the meeting of yin and yang, the door of breathing, and the hometown of the intersection of water and fire.
Fa Xiu is in love with the middle dantian, and physical cultivation favors the lower dantian; Entering the Tao with martial arts, fighting strongly, and being easy to learn, these are all benefits of practicing the dantian, but in the manipulation of the technique, the understanding of the purple mansion, and the handling of internal secrets, it is worse than the dantian in the practice, which is the difference in choice, and it is not good or bad.
In order to catch up with the time, Hou Yu can't take care of these, practice quickly first, time is not waiting.
Five days later, the Wupeng boat sailed away from the ground of Shendu, and on the 20th, it crossed Xinyi Island, and on the 15th, it was about to leave Pelican Island, followed by Baishazhou, and in the northernmost part of Baisha, it was the border city of Liuyang City.
From a few days ago, Lao Qi's father and son's Wupeng boat followed a large passenger boat, which was a large ship carrying nearly 100 passengers, and the ship had three floors, which was very magnificent; The water system of Anwa Country is all over the country, and of course, the shipbuilding industry is very developed, and it is not surprising that passenger ships like this are in Anwa City, and there are even bigger ones.
Because it is a boat against the current, the wind direction of this season is not convenient, so the boat mostly relies on the oar, which is more difficult for the boatman; For experienced boatmen, following behind another boat can save some effort, which is also a kind of ability to eat by water.
After a few days, the big boat went and they left, and the big boat left them behind, and there was not only one small boat like them, but several small boats followed the big passenger ship and borrowed light, strung together, very interesting.
At dusk today, the big passenger boat stopped next to a wild ferry, and several small boats were also moored, and Lao Qi raised the fire to cook, and it was very simple to use a meal, which was nothing more than a cooking cake bought on the shore and a pot of fresh fish soup freshly cooked.
Hou Yu didn't care about this, he thought it was very good, the ingredients were very fresh, and what he caught in the river was better than any cooking method.
If you are in a good mood, you have a good appetite, and you can eat deliciously.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Lao Qi handed over two cotton balls, "Guest officer, when it gets dark, you will use cotton balls to plug your ears, right?" Don't take it off when you sleep, you can't take it off until dawn tomorrow. ”
Hou Yu was surprised, "Why?" ”
Lao Qi's expression was serious, "From today onwards, we have entered the Yaoshui River section, there is a kind of water demon here, which never appears during the day, and comes out to harm people at night;
They don't go ashore, they only deal with passing passenger ship travelers, at night, they will sing next to the passenger boat, very beautiful, if someone can't hold it, they will naturally and unnaturally go into the water and become their prey.
Therefore, it is necessary to plug the ears, so as to minimize the bewitchment of singing. ”
It's the first time Hou Yu has heard of such a thing, and it seems that he hasn't heard of such a monster in the Qingtang River near Fufeng City? Probably because the water system is different, each has its own ability, right?
"If the sound drills the ears, even the cotton ball can't completely block it, right?"
"It's always better, don't take it lightly, I know you've read a lot of books, but this kind of thing can't be solved by reading too much."
Hou Yu took the cotton ball, he couldn't refuse the kindness of the boatman, "What is the song so attractive?" Can you make a traveler throw yourself into the river? ”
Lao Qi said solemnly, "It's not necessarily a singing, I've heard an insightful Taoist say that this sound is a different thing in the ears of different people, and it varies from person to person."
For example, listening to the ears of scholars, it is the title of the gold list, Chunqiu High School; I heard that the businessman was hearing that business opportunities were emerging, and the opportunity could not be missed; In the ears of officials, it is to be promoted to become wealthy, and the descendants will be generations; Hearing that the general's ears are destroying the city and uprooting the village, winning a decisive victory......
In short, what you hope for the most, you can hear, but we low-level boatmen have no ambition and little knowledge, nothing more than a family to get food and clothing, but it has little impact. ”
Hou Yu finally understood, this is born from the heart!
"Thank you, sir, I'll definitely plug it up at night."
When night fell, Hou Yu continued to work hard, how could he stuff this thing? Ordinary people can, but what kind of Tao can he cultivate if he doesn't have any self-sustaining power as a cultivator?
After some hard work, I forgot about it.
After the practice, I was contemplating and meditating, faintly, as if there was fairy music coming, which made people extremely comfortable.
…… Condense the surface of heaven and earth, and never want to be lonely. There is an image that is still empty, forgetting the form and nature. The opening of the Renzi world, the year of Daojia Shen. The clouds return to the dance music, and the flowing water chases the song strings. The chalcedony is fragrant like rice, and the zhifang is crisp like a lotus. Stop Luan Yanyao water, and return to the sky.
