Chapter 202: But the Valley Eats Qi

Qi Jingzhi didn't think that three hundred zhang was too high, but as the Taiqing Tiancha flew closer and closer to this floating mountain shaped like a crane with wings, and approached to watch the hanging waterfalls and the winding stone stairs on the mountain, the admiration in his heart couldn't help but be a little stronger.

The Taiqing Tiancha did not fly directly to the Danding of Xianyu Mountain, but crossed the gap between the two winged peaks that had never been closed, and slowly fell towards the valley below.

Qi Jingzhi looked down, and saw that the valley was verdant and lush, the breath was deep, and the growth was all pine and ancient cypress, and there were cranes rising and falling from time to time, flying and wandering, full of fairy spirit.

In a short time, the Taiqing Tiancha fell on a clearing in the valley.

The clearing is next to a steep and smooth mountain wall with a stone staircase winding up next to it.

Qi Jingzhi walked down the Taiqing Tiancha, his eyes fell on the mountain wall in front of him, and he silently recited the verses engraved on it.

"I used to travel to the white cranes, and the mountains and rivers were majestic. When I met my son, I was suddenly lonely."

"Every day is flying, and it is still alive. Only in response to the dream of white clouds, fly away every night."

Qi Jingzhi has no dabbling in the way of poetry, and he has no preference in his heart, and he has just read it once, and he has never been touched.

What he thought in his heart was that the people of the Dao Sect Immortal Sect seemed to love this way, but whenever they saw a smoother place, they had to engrave a poem.

Feng Zixu said on the side: "This mountain valley is called the Crane Valley, and the main thing that breeds in it is the cranes, in addition to a small number of spirit birds and beasts, all of which are the mounts, spirit pets and their descendants of the people of the Immortal Feather Sect for generations. These birds and beasts are all matured, and they are gentle and do not hurt anyone."

"If you need any birds, beasts, and herbs in this valley, take them for yourself, but remember to exercise moderation and not to hunt and deharvest indiscriminately."

Feng Zixu's words were said to his own apprentice, but his eyes fell on Bannu, and he nodded again and again in horror.

Qi Jingzhi answered, turned around and looked into the depths of Qihe Valley, but his vision was blocked by the secluded forest, and he couldn't go far, let alone see the spirit birds and beasts mentioned by his master.

He looked around, and soon his eyes fell on the white flowers hidden in the thick shade of the trees.

This is a strange flower that is only an inch high, with only two leaves on the thin stem, the color is green and lovely, stretching like wings, and between the leaves there is a cluster of pure white flowers, glowing with a faint fluorescence.

The space between the pines and cypresses is almost all occupied by this strange white flower, and the breeze blows, and the wings are gently swaying and fluorescent.

Qi Jingzhi was born in the mountains and wilderness, carefully identified it, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, the leaves of this white flower are somewhat similar to the yellow essence, but the number is less, and the flower type is not right, I don't know what kind of spiritual root it is, is it used for ornamentation or medicine?"

"Yo, you're thinking about the good things in this Crane Valley?"

Feng Zixu joked with his apprentice, and said with a smile: "This is the Dancing Crane Grass, born in the forest of the shady slope of the high mountains, sour, astringent, slightly cold, and has the effect of cooling the blood when taken internally.

"If you are injured by a sword, you can also use it to make a powder and apply it externally, which can stop the bleeding."

"Actually, this thing is also out there, but the effect is not as good as ours here."

Feng Zixu paused, and added, "Ordinary women also use this medicine more often if they are too strong in blood some days."

Qi Jingzhi didn't understand this last sentence too much, he only knew that it was gynecological medication, and since it was none of his business, he no longer paid attention to it.

He nodded and said, "Habitat Crane Valley, Dancing Crane Grass, these names are quite compatible. The disciples can sense that the aura of the pines, cypresses, and woods in this valley is rich and pure, which is exactly what I use in my cultivation."

"Well, no one is stealing this from you."

The corners of Feng Zixu's mouth curled slightly, and he turned around and walked towards the stone steps next to the mountain wall.

Qi Jingzhi naturally followed.

Bannu originally wanted to follow, but the Xuandu Guan Lord glanced sideways at this guy, his eyes were not good, and his tone was cold: "What I just said was in vain?"

Madara shrank his neck, immediately turned around obediently, and jumped into the forest to spread joy

Finish.

Qi Jingzhi glanced at the secluded forest where the birds were frightening, and couldn't help but chuckle, and immediately followed his master up the stairs.

Among the two masters and apprentices, Feng Zixu does not need to mention it, even Qi Jingzhi's foot strength has long been far beyond ordinary people, and it will not take long to reach the middle of the mountain.

On this road, but see the mountain road is quiet, the green pothos and moss, the smoke is blue, and the jade is ringing spring.

In particular, the stone steps in the mountains are winding and spiraling, and the sky and clouds and shadows also change from time to time, which can be called a scene in ten steps.

Originally, when he was at the bottom of the Crane Valley, what Qi Jingzhi saw in front of him was still daylight, the blue sky was like washing, and the sky was clear, but when he walked to this mountainside, he turned around a sharp bend, and a stone archway bathed in the golden glow appeared in front of him.

The other end of the stone archway has already fallen into the night, and the sky is like a bright moon like a mirror, and it is blooming brightly.

One door apart, two minutes of day and night.

Qi Jingzhi looked left and right, and saw a couplet engraved on the stone pillars on both sides: "The clouds turn alone, and the mirror hangs alone in the sky."

In the middle of the stone archway is a horizontal batch of four words: "The sun and the moon are shining."

When the two of them walked through, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but turn around, and saw that the golden sun behind him was gorgeous and still hanging high.

This side of the stone archway is soaked with moisture on a moonlit night in the mountains, and the center is also four words: "I am unique."

There is also a couplet on the stone pillars on both sides: "Creation Zhong Shenxiu, Yin and Yang cut the dawn."

Qi Jingzhi silently remembered it in his heart, and secretly sighed This is the benefit of the family and the sect.

No wonder Langya Jun has such eccentricities, but a few lines of poetry can pop out of his mouth at any time.

Qi Jingzhi turned his head and looked at Feng Zixu, who was walking briskly and dressed like a rainbow in front of him, and suddenly understood the other party's intention of taking him on foot to climb the mountain.

For a while, he felt quite excited in his heart, and hurriedly followed, after all, his own master was not very good-tempered, and he was about to have a seizure if he found a reason.

The master and apprentice kept walking, and saw many ordinary and hard-to-see scenes along the way, and when they climbed the last more than 1,000 steps of the crane-neck ladder that almost went straight up and down, the red-crowned Xuandu was already in sight.

Qi Jingzhi looked at the towering palace in front of him with a blue tile and red wall, which was divided into two halves by day and night, and saw that the courtyard wall inside and outside the green peach forest, a thousand red and beautiful, and the palace houses in the distance inside were built with their backs to themselves.

After a little thought, he reacted that he was following the mountain road, from the crane's wings to the chest, climbing the crane's back and climbing the crane's shoulder, and then climbing to the top through the ladder at the back of the neck.

If you want to go straight to the main gate facing the Void Sea of Clouds, you still have to fly up directly.

Feng Zixu did not open the back door of the Xuandu Temple, but chose this half of the night and took Qi Jingzhi around the wall through the forest.

As she walked, she said, "These peach trees are for my grandfather's favorite, and they were only planted in the back garden of the Xuandu Temple at first, but then they were planted more and more, and finally spread all over the red."

After walking for a while, the peach trees in front of the two gradually thinned out, and a blue lake appeared in front of them, and a cyan stone embankment was built on the surface of the lake, dividing the lake into two.

Qi Jingzhi thought about it for a while, and knew that he should be in the position of a crane at this moment.

He followed Feng Zixu up to the bluestone embankment, and saw that the lake water was crystal clear, and it didn't seem to be too deep.

Under the moonlight, a large school of herring is soaring in the lake.

The reason why it is said to be soaring is because the herring in the lake is not born with scales, but with blue feathers.

Qi Jingzhi noticed that these blue-feathered monster fish would spit out colorful small bubbles from their mouths from time to time.

Most bubbles will float up quickly, and at the same time, they will burst in the process, but there are also very few that will sink down.

The color of these sinking bubbles will gradually turn to turquoise, and eventually turn into translucent blue beads that fall to the bottom of the lake.

Qi Jingzhi's gaze extended, and then he suddenly realized it. It turns out that the reason why the lake looks so shallow and clear is precisely because there are countless blue beads piled up at the bottom of the lake.

He stared at these strange beads, and suddenly one was born in his heart

A kind of subtle induction, as if you can beckon them into your palm as long as you beckon.

Feng Zixu saw that his apprentice couldn't move a little, so he also slowed down.

She pointed to the blue-feathered strange fish and explained: "These are the birds in the lake, which originate from the Danhai Sea and the wilderness, and have the ability to reverse shape and change color, and are birds in the wood, beasts in the ground, and fish in the water.

"It is said that there is a huge sand dune formed by the accumulation of green sand beads in the wilderness, called "pearl hills", and when the wind blows, the green dust fills the sky, and it is called "pearl dust". This thing is actually a wood spiritual material, and it prolongs life and carries a light body."

Qi Jingzhi was thrilled when he heard this, and felt that in addition to being used for cultivation, his grandfather should be able to eat it.

He had this thought in his heart, but his eyes fell on his master's green feather robe.

Feng Zi saw it, and immediately nodded with a chuckle: "Our Xuandu Guan has its own wonderful method of dining Xia, and Mu Qi is naturally among them, otherwise there is no need to mention any pine crane to prolong the year." Although the Blue Sea Immortal Sect's "Qinghua Jindan Essentials" is extraordinary, it is just the icing on the cake."

The Xuandu Guan Master paused slightly, looked at his disciple and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since you have talked about this, I will teach you the dining method of this sect."

Qi Jingzhi nodded immediately, and did not hide his joy in front of his master, and the smile on his face was extremely bright.

"That's right, my generation has overcome obstacles and practiced hard, although the person who is trying to live forever is not completely free, but it is too boring to always restrain yourself."

Feng Zixu nodded in satisfaction, and continued in his mouth: "The sages have clouds, those who eat qi are gods and live long, and those who do not eat do not die and are gods. The idea of the Xuandu Guanxia method is taken from these two sentences, which is called "The Grain Food Qi Chapter"."

"As for the specific method...... As it is said in the "Nanhua Sutra", blowing and breathing, spitting out the old and accepting the new, the bear is stretched by the bird, and it is just for longevity."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be touched, nodded and said, "It sounds similar to the swallowing, spitting, floating, and sinking of the Crane Method."

"That's nature, the practice of this sect will naturally fall on the crane shape in the end, and the crane method is in the same vein as the "Valley-eating Qi Chapter", which is where the foundation lies."

The corners of Feng Zixu's mouth curled slightly, and he became more and more satisfied with his disciples: "If you want to eat qi, you must first know the taboo and know how to distinguish qi, and then choose qi and draw qi to eat."

"Put it in our Xianyu Gate, there are four prohibitions on food and qi, avoid turbidity in spring, avoid soup wind in summer, avoid frost and fog in autumn, and avoid Lingyin in winter. At this point, other factions may have different opinions, and some of them may take the initiative to go to extremes, but they are not taken by my Xuandu view."

Feng Zixu paused slightly, and waited for Qi Jingzhi to nod his head to indicate that he had written it down, before continuing: "Avoiding the heat of spring and summer, the cold of autumn and winter, the next thing to do is to distinguish qi and choose qi, you already have a choice, so let's skip it for the time being, and just talk about the sentence "deep breath for longevity".

"The word "deep breath", as the name suggests, is to transform the qi of food into internal breath, and keep it in the chest and abdomen as deep and long as possible, as if it is hidden deep in the valley."

After saying that, the Xuandu Guan Lord slowly stretched out his arms forward, and then hugged them into a circle, and his whole body suddenly revealed a charm of cranes holding wings.

The green sand beads in the lake water immediately sensed, and they surfaced one after another, flying to the green feather coat of Feng Zixu like a tired bird returning to the nest, and blending into the blue crane feathers.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but suddenly realize that the shape of the Xianyu Mountain under his feet contained the mystery of the "Xianyu Sutra" in itself.

I heard Feng Zixu continue: "This deep hiding, not only in and out, the new rice is stored as old rice, but to obtain its charm essence and hide it, for the breath itself, it is still necessary to blow the breath, spit out the old and accept the new, which involves the change of yin and yang days, which leads to the two qi of stay and new qi, and the two methods of morning and twilight."

"The so-called two qi of Suzhou and new qi, the qi of Suzhou is like the old rice that has been stored for a long time, and the new qi is the new rice. The old gas is the old, and the new gas is the longevity. Those who are good at controlling qi will make the old qi disperse at night, and the new qi will be the highest, so as to penetrate the nine orifices and realize the six internal organs."

"In other words, it is necessary to adapt to the time of day, abandon the old qi in time, and inhale the new qi. This requires the use of the two methods of morning and twilight.

One day and one twilight is a reincarnation, also known as the Qi Week."

Qi Jingzhi immediately drew inferences: "The swallowing and spitting of the Crane Method is only in a moment, but it takes a day and night to spit out the old and absorb the new."

Hearing this, Feng Zixu's face smiled even more: "You don't have to stick to a day and night, those with a high realm can breathe every time you take a decade or a month. Legend has it that the candle dragon does not drink, eat, or rest, and once it breathes, it blows for winter, breathes for summer, and breathes for wind."

"Let's talk about the two methods of the dynasty and the twilight...... The method of morning breathing, the breath will be small, if it is still there, and it is not used diligently, so that the old qi will be exhausted day by day, and the new air will be full day by day, and the form will be filled with clouds."

"The method of twilight breath grows out from the deep breath, so that the ears do not hear, and sleep in peace, because the qi calms the essence, because the essence calms the spirit, and because the god is born, so that the soul is at peace, and the six intestines are all released, so it can last and last."
