Chapter 2 Practicing Qi, Refining Spirits, and Refining Bodies

Drunken Immortal Building.

Shen Lian drank three bowls of iced sour plum soup and ate two plates of cold dishes in a row to relieve the heat on his body, and he could drink a little wine comfortably and enjoy his leisure time.

This is Shen Lian's habit, every time he crosses out an item in his plan, he must rest for a few days.

As little as one day, as much as three days.

It's not just about relaxing, it's about thinking about the way forward.

Shen Lian has been thinking about the word "road ahead" for more than 20 years, he has thought about everything that should be thought, everything that should be checked, and what should be understood has long been understood.

This is a special world, at least in the information that Shen Lian found, this world is quite weird.

First of all, the mountains and rivers are far wider and wider than the earth in the previous life, and the vitality of heaven and earth is rich, there are countless strange flowers and plants, and the treasures of heaven and earth can be seen everywhere.

The second is historical inheritance, Shen Lian looked through the collection of books in the six doors and found the two most important nodes.

One appeared in the Qin Dynasty, during that period, the heaven and the earth changed, and the vitality of the heaven and earth became rich since then.

It is not just a family, the martial arts masters of all walks of life have gathered in this world, and together they have formed a prosperous martial arts world.

One appeared at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the heroes of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, showing their heroes under the same sky.

Some people beat the world with a pair of fists and a stick, some people bend their bows and shoot eagles to gallop across the grassland, and there is an unknown little beggar who quietly rises in the troubled times.

Dazai Qianyuan, the beginning of ten thousand materials, the clouds and rain, the quality of the flow, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the six times, the six dragons, the first out of the house, the Xianning of all countries.

Today's Central Plains Dynasty is known as Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and after more than 20 years of recuperation, the Central Plains has recovered.

The competition and heroes are numerous, although it is a wonderful scene, but it also makes thousands of miles of rivers and mountains full of enemies, and there are countless heroes around.

In the western regions of the grassland, the 36 countries of Mengyuan, Manchu, Jin, Liao, Warat, Tubo, Western Xia, and the Western Regions formed a huge encirclement.

Inside the Central Plains, from time to time, there are descendants of Li Tang, Zhang Shicheng, Han Lin'er, Zhao Kuangyin, and Murong of Yanguo......

In order to deal with many strong enemies, Zhu Yuanzhang set up Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and in addition to the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, he set up six doors to deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

It was at that time that Shen Lian joined the six doors and worshiped under the six doors of the god Guo Bujing.

The pinnacle of martial arts, shattering the void.

Can anyone do it?

Of course!

Just last year, Zhang Sanfeng, the patriarch of the Wudang Creation School, the land immortal, opened the fairy gate with a wave of his hand at the palace night banquet of Zhu Yuanzhang's 60th birthday, shattering the void.

That kind of majesty is unforgettable.

Martial arts practice, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and reversing emptiness, refining void and merging the way, ordinary martial artists, their lifelong penance, is just the acquired true qi.

The acquired qi is all done for action, and only the innate qi is for doing nothing and doing everything.

Only by stepping into the innate realm can you have the stepping stone to enter the supreme martial arts, which is the most important foundation on the road of martial arts, also known as "building the foundation".

After stepping into the innate realm, the true qi forms a circulation in the body, and there is no need to actively carry the qi and blood, it will naturally flow and naturally increase.

After the foundation is laid, there are three major paths.

One way is to practice qi, innate yin and yang, take the hurdle to fill in, accumulate gold into the abdomen, tie the Dan and accumulate qi, and return the jade liquid to the Dan.

One way is to refine the gods, to have nothing, to fill the void with reality, the god in the body, out of the mind, wandering outside.

One way is to refine the body, practice qi with the body, nourish the soul with qi, nourish qi with soul, refine the body with qi, and flow endlessly.

Most people major in Qi cultivation, and this path has the most people and the most experienced, and most of the advanced Qi cultivation methods will come with the mysteries of refining the gods and refining the body.

Some Buddhists and Taoists will choose to refine the gods, such as the Tantric Spiritual Dafa of Transforming the Heaven and the Earth, and such as the Daomen Purifying Heart Mantra, the Body Purification Mantra, and the Heaven and Earth Purification Mantra.

In most cases, body refining is a minor, which is an incidental effect of some advanced and profound heart methods, such as Shaolin's Vajra Incorruptible Body Divine Skill, Golden Bell Jar, and Yijin Sutra.

Like Shen Lian, the main cultivation body can be described as rare, and the entire rivers and lakes do not exceed one thousandth.

Whether it is refining the body, practicing qi, or refining the gods, in the end, they can all use the yang god to attract the vitality of heaven and earth, and the more advanced their own comprehension, the wider the scope of their inducing.

If he can initially attract the vitality of heaven and earth, he will be respected as a grandmaster by the people of the rivers and lakes, which is enough to create a second-rate gang in a small county town or a state capital in the middle of the middle.

For example, what Golden Dao Village, Yellow River Gang, Yizi Hui Sword Gate, Five Phoenix Sword Gate, Eagle Claw Goose Xing Gate, Eight Immortal Sword Sect, most of the ancestors of the founding sect are in the realm of grandmasters.

If you practice qi until the jade liquid returns to the pill, refine the gods until you wander outside, and practice the body until you are endless, you will be respected as a great master and be able to occupy famous mountains and rivers.

For example, the Emei faction, the Huashan faction, the Kunlun faction, the Bashan Sword faction, the Cihang Jingzhai, and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, all of these sects have great masters in charge, and they are prestigious.

As for the realm after the Great Grandmaster, and even the Shattered Void, Shen Lian hadn't thought about it yet, this distance was too far, and it was completely pointless to think about it.

In the account of the Six Gates, there is only a brief description of the end of these three paths:

Those who practice qi, to Yang Wuji, to Yin Wuji, Yin and Yang Wuji, Daomen Jindan Yuanying, Dongxuan Dharma Body, Buddhism Bodhi Relic, Heartless Holy Fetus.

This is - no one has self!

Those who refine the gods, all are empty, pure and void, I am not me, I can keep heaven and earth with one heart, can break through the void with one thought, all thoughts return to one thought, and incarnate the true body outside the body.

This is - God and man are useless!

The refiner, King Kong is not bad, the dragon is subdued, the earth is shaken, the mountain is moved, the mountain is superb, the true vitality and blood are integrated, and the flesh and blood are transcendent.

This is - the saint is nameless!

There are successful examples of Qi cultivation and God refining, but no one has been able to shatter the void so far in refining the body, and the statement that the saint is nameless is quite self-deprecating.

The masters who have always taken the road of refining the body, even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Li Xuanba, the king of Zhao in Xifu, and Li Cunxiao, the thirteenth Taibao, have not been able to reach the limit after all.

Shen Lian let out a long breath, stopped thinking nonsense, and concentrated on enjoying the signature delicacy of the Drunken Immortal Building.

"Little Er, add a pot of wine!"

Before the words fell, there was a sound of knocking footsteps at the top of the stairs, not because the person who came was walking urgently, nor because his light skills were not good, but because his character was like this.

He is an upright person, and he walks naturally upright, stepping on the snow without a trace, but landing soundly.

This person is tall and strong, half a head taller than Shen Lian, his eyes are like cold stars, his face is like a knife, his face is full of fierce energy, and he carries a long knife around his waist.

Jin Yiwei calmed Lu Jianxing.

Shen Lian's eldest brother.

Lu Jianxing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a slight complaint: "Second brother, you are still idle, why did you say I went to Jinyiwei in the first place!" ”

Shen Lian said with a smile: "This is called a capable person who works hard, the eldest brother Wen Tao is martial, so I can command a thousand troops, but my fists are relatively hard, and I can only be a small catcher." ”

"Fart's Wen Taowuluo, if Lao Tzu hadn't joined Jinyiwei at the beginning, he might have gone to which ravine and valley to be the king of the mountain, specializing in kidnapping and killing."

Lu Jianxing pointed to his face: "We are naturally fierce, we don't need to wear makeup to be a bandit!" ”

Shen Lian smiled helplessly when he heard this.

Lu Jianxing's face shape is very strange, he looks dignified when he wears an official uniform, changes into civilian clothes, and has a beard, he is a proper bandit, who can stop children from crying at night.

"The eldest brother is not on an errand in the palace, how can he have time to come to the Drunken Immortal Building? Aren't you afraid of being derelict in your duties? ”

"Let's play, let's play, Lao Tzu will beat to death that group of sour talents who play tricks sooner or later, second, there has been a big case in the court recently, and it has fallen on my head."

"What big case can alarm Jinyiwei?"

"Jingzhou Governor Ling Huisi, was killed overnight, after an autopsy, it was a knife wound, the court suspected that it was related to the Japanese Kou, let me investigate."
