The old houses in the town have been basically deserted many years ago, and everyone has built new houses and moved out, but everyone's new homes seem to be around the empty "old city", and the "city" composed of old wooden houses is the root of Anye.

At present, only three or two old people are reluctant to leave, still living in the old house, and at night, the three or two lights that are faintly flickering, like a spark, light up the whole old house.

The temple guarded by all the ancestral houses, the towering temple that stands at the highest point is "heaven and earth", the temple has no name, only the stone carving at the door is engraved with the majestic word "heaven and earth".

There is no monk in the temple, there is a hut on the left side of the door, there is only one person who lives in Pu Lao Daochang, every New Year's Festival, the fifteenth day of the first month, the old people in the town will come here to pray for blessings, and Pu Lao Dao Chang eats and preaches the scriptures together.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the young people went together, and the elder Pu Daoist burned a large pot of fire in front of the door early for the young people to burn incense to keep warm, and he stood by the brazier with his sleeves folded, smiling and telling the young people the blessing ceremony.

Go up the stone steps, 990 steps, there is a big incense burner at the end, at this time there must be "the first incense" has been scattered on the top of the green smoke, this "first incense" must be the kind of huge, on the top of the writing "pure and peaceful" and other big incense.

After that is the main hall, the main hall is not for the Buddha or the Bodhisattva, but stands a blue-faced fang, three heads and six arms, wearing a skull necklace around the neck, holding a demon pestle, three prongs, looking at the demon mirror, and stepping on the majestic shrine of a white elephant under his feet. Surrounded by dozens of statues of gods such as Wenwu Xingjun and Niangniang, the right side hall is the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth.

There was a time when antique dealers were rampant, stealing most of the exquisite stone carvings of the pillars in the old houses, and even the large mahogany doors of the main hall were not spared. Later, I learned that the stone carving has a history of 100 years, and the big mahogany door is made of some rare wood in addition to carving scripture patterns and long history.

Now the old house has begun to be repaired, and then go at this time, it has quite the flavor of the ancient city, only the old temple still maintains the original pattern, and Pu Lao Dao has lived for decades.

After Qin Ran finished practicing in the morning, he felt that he had a lot more strength, his spirit was excellent, and his speed, endurance, strength, and reaction were all incomparable to before. The only thing is that there seems to be a breath of qi in the lower abdomen dantian, and I can feel it, but I can't mobilize it, no matter how I try, it is as if it is rooted.

According to the "Guiding Technique", this is indeed a sign that the aura has entered the body into the dantian, yes, it can't be mobilized, maybe it is because he hasn't mastered the method yet.

Qin Ran scratched his head, only then did he realize that his body was dirty, his T-shirt was soaked with sweat, and his clothes were glued to his body, black and mushy, as if he had come out of a quagmire.

I quickly took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Old Daoist Pu, yes, Old Daoist Pu will definitely be able to tell me the reason." Qin Ran said excitedly: "How can you forget Old Daoist Pu." Thinking back on the past, Qin Ran felt that Old Daoist Pu was definitely not an ordinary person.

Qin Ran shouted, "Mom, I'll go out and come back in a while." As he spoke, he ran out the door with a large piece of bread in his mouth.

When he came to the temple hut, Pu Lao Dao Chang had already swept the fallen leaves in front of the main hall. Watching Qin Ran run to the hut in one breath, running up the stone steps to the front of the hall without a trace of effort, not panting and sweating as usual,.

Old Daoist Pu put the broom on the guardrail, and said with a smile, "It's Xiao Ran, is there something wrong so early, I haven't seen you for a while, and my physique has strengthened a lot." ”

As he spoke, he patted Qin Ran on the shoulder.

"Huh?"

A wave of qi rushed out of his body and slammed into the palm of Old Daoist Pu, and it was all dissolved in just a moment.

Old Daoist Pu was taken aback: "This is?" The realm of Qi training? No, it's not there yet, it's almost. ”

……

"Grandpa Pu, Grandpa Pu!"

Qin Ran looked at the old Daoist Pu who was in a daze and shouted.

"Ah, eh, I'm old, I'm in a trance, hehe." Old Daoist Pu gently patted Qin Ran's shoulder, suppressed the restless aura in Qin Ran's body, and whispered, "What's the matter, something?" ”

Qin Ran didn't realize it, and he didn't hide it, and told Old Daoist Pu all the things about his cultivation of the "Guiding Technique". Of course, the quarterly salary was abandoned.

"Guiding Technique" can be searched on the Internet, and it is said that everyone can cultivate, so it is not unusual, but no one has cultivated a sense of qi, and it is difficult to say what is the difference between Qin Ran's "Guiding Technique".

Therefore, Old Daoist Pu was not surprised by the existence of the "Guiding Technique", and was surprised that Qin Ran really cultivated his sense of qi, and really accepted qi into his body to open up the Qi Sea Dantian, not to mention, he even inadvertently opened up a body of meridians, but who knew that all this was caused by Ji Xin's remnant soul giving up his body to cultivate, just because Qin Ran was quite talented and a seedling who took this path.

And he is old, and at this time, there is a junior who he likes to take over his skills, how can he not be happy.

At that moment, he knew everything, saying that he was indeed a monk, and said that Qin Ran's inability to mobilize the qi of the dantian was due to the fact that he had cultivated the qi for the first time, and the aura in the qi sea dantian was meager, and he did not know the path of qi.

Although the meridians are connected, you need to know the path of qi, for example, if you use the spiritual power of the qi sea for your arm, you need to use the corresponding meridians, which is the "road".

If the aura in the sea of qi becomes more and more majestic in the future, it can even be separated from the body. Pu Lao Dao Chang's heart moved, and he waved his hand at the fallen leaves in the distance, and the fallen leaves flew straight to Pu Lao Dao Chang's fingers, "This is the use of qi." With a soft snort, he shook the fallen leaves hard, and the fallen leaves broke through the air and cut down the tree trunks in the distance.

It is said that practice requires a strong physique, but if you are strong on the outside and dry in the middle, you will not be able to withstand the spiritual qi training, so the practice is to train the muscles and bones on the outside and the qi on the inside.

It is said that there must be a "technique" to do qi, just like curing a disease, you must know what kind of cause it is, you must know the method of curing the disease, and you must have a cure for the root.

It is said that there needs to be a "Tao" in the heart, the so-called Tao is natural, and the "Guiding Technique" is the technique of the ancestors, and future generations can follow this technique to embark on the path of practice, and then they will find their own "Tao".

It is said that there is a way to practice, there are levels one to ten levels of Qi cultivation, and after that, it is the path of immortals, and I don't know.

……

Pu Lao Dao Elder passed it all on, and used his own qi to pull Qin Ran to cultivate the path of spiritual energy, and after that, Qin Ran was barely able to use the aura of the Qihai Dantian.

Internal Qi training, external body cultivation, Qin Pu Lao Taoist Changjiao and Qin Ran Bajiquan and Taijiquan, said that the eighth-level fierce cultivation, Taiji Yin and Yang harmony, rigidity and softness and cultivation of the heart.

Old Daoist Pu took Qin Ran to knock down the boxing technique over and over again, and when he was tired, he spit out cross-legged.

Under the sunset, one old and one young, Pu Lao Dao Chang smiled, Qin Ran sat cross-legged on the ground, breathing, and had entered the realm of qi training.
