The sun rises slowly from the top of the valley, and the birds flutter and chase in the valley trees, and as time passes, the sun slowly moves to the middle of the valley, and then slopes to the top of the mountain peak on the west side of the valley little by little, until the evening, slowly sinks behind the peak, and the earth is shrouded in darkness, only the autumn insects make the chirping sound one after another.

Time passed like this day by day, eight or nine days had passed since Li Yan began to cultivate, and Li Yan would only open the door for a while except for eating and washing every day, and the door was basically closed.

Inside, Li Yan, who was already dressed in a black robe, sat on the wooden bed, his eyes slightly closed, his hands made a handprint and placed it on his abdomen, breathing evenly, after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed. During this time, he also went to ask the teacher, and the answer given to him by the third division was that this introductory cultivation varies from person to person, as little as three or five days, and as much as ten days and a half months can stimulate the qi of the dantian. However, it had been almost ten days, and he couldn't find any cultivation feeling that he had said, so he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He simply got out of bed, pushed open the door and walked out, looking at the sky that was slowly darkening, he walked slowly up in the valley, thinking about every sentence in the mantra. The meaning of each word, just like walking and thinking, suddenly heard a trickle of sound into the ear, it turned out that unconsciously has come to the waterhole, listening to the sound of the mountain spring that slowly flows down from the cliff, looking at the valley above the half of the moon sprinkled with cold light, the sound of the water flow in his heart swirling non-stop, he suddenly seemed to feel something in his heart, just like that, he stood here motionless, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly felt as if there was a kind of coolness in the body and the sound of the water flow echoed each other, and immediately sat cross-legged by the waterhole, these days lingered in his mindThe "Breath Channeling Technique" walked naturally as he wished, and soon after, a black aura faintly appeared on his face, and this black aura did not appear strange after appearing on his face, but there was a feeling of cold and deep water covering it, glowing with a trace of transparency.

At this time, Li Yan didn't know this, he only felt that he could hear the sound of these waves of flowing water filling his mind, and with a breath and an inhalation, it began to fill his body, and suddenly, he felt a coolness rise in his dantian, and followed the "breath guidance technique" The guided meridians begin to swim slowly, and every time they walk through a place, they will make the meridians cool suddenly, but they do not feel cold, but have a feeling of swimming into the sea, so that every time this cool air swims around in the meridians, the dantian will feel cooler and stronger, making the dantian more and more cool.

In the stone house on the east side of the valley, the third division also sat cross-legged behind the table and closed his eyes to meditate, suddenly, his eyes opened, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself, "Finally, do you feel the qi of heaven and earth? It seems that you can prepare the medicine of plants and trees, which is really exciting." With that, he slowly closed his eyes again.

After a long time, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, the valley was still the same, the trickle of water on the cliff was still there, but the moon had disappeared above the valley, it was the middle of the night at this time, his face showed hesitation, the night in the mountains in autumn was very cold, but Li Yan did not feel the coolness of the outside world at all, because the coolness in his body was stronger, but he did not have any discomfort in his body, but there was a sense of deafness and lightness. It's just that he remembers that the "Breath Guidance Technique" said that stimulating the qi of the dantian should be a warm current, why is it the opposite of his, whether there is a mistake in the practice, and whether it will be like the previous senior brother, thinking of this, he can't help but feel a little uneasy, just as he stood up in hesitation, he suddenly felt that the dantian in his body was a little cool, and it was not smooth, and he couldn't help but feel a voice, "Li Yan, you have finally completed the introduction, it is really good." ”

Hearing this, he was startled, and hurriedly turned around to look, a person in a black robe stood silently behind him, and then he relaxed again, because this voice was the teacher's voice. He hurriedly saluted, "Teacher, you haven't rested at this time. I felt a little surprised in my heart, the teacher's internal strength was so profound, he just had some changes in his body, but he immediately knew it, and he really knew it.

Although the moon blossom in the valley had gone at this time, under the starlight in the sky, Li Yan could vaguely see the teacher's vague face with a smile, and he continued with a little hesitation, "Disciple, disciple, I can't be sure if it's successful. ”

"Oh, the teacher sensed the breath that inspired your dantian qi, so it should be so. The third runner-up said indifferently.

However, the disciple is not as the mantra says, the dantian produces warmth, but it is a little cool. After saying that, Li Yan's face showed uneasiness.

After hearing this, the third division was stunned for a while, and after a while, he said with a smile, "I haven't talked to you in detail, the qi induction technique only stimulates the qi of the dantian, and when everyone is stimulated, sour, numb, itchy, cold, hot, and so on, and generally speaking, warm and hot are the most common, so only the common feelings are listed for the mantra given to you by the teacher, so don't worry about this." ”

After hearing this, Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and his worry disappeared, and he said in his heart, "It seems that in the future, you can just ask the teacher directly, and you will be cranky, but you will scare yourself." ”

As if he could see Li Yan's expression clearly in this dark night, Ji Junshi chuckled and said, "You are also tired these days, you don't need to practice anymore today, go to sleep early, and you can officially practice the method of 'Muyin Gong' tomorrow." ”

"Yes, teacher, the disciple has retired. Li Yan heard this, his heart was overjoyed, so to speak, he has entered the door, has been qualified to practice the real exercises, he actually has an urge to practice the exercises immediately, but he also knows that this matter is not urgent, and the nearly ten days of work, although the physical strength has not been consumed much, but the mind is indeed tired, so he walked to his stone house, after he walked a few steps, the unsmooth feeling in the dantian suddenly decreased a lot, and his heart couldn't help but secretly admire the depth of the teacher's skills, he didn't have any internal breath before, but now after this little internal breath, but also felt the pressure brought by the teacher。

Looking at Li Yan's disappearing back, Ji Junshi also turned around, disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had come to his room, his big sleeves flicked behind him, the door closed silently, he sat cross-legged behind the table again, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and his heart was constant. It turned out that the first thing he perceived was water, so it was true that the black qi he saw when he tried the needle last time was the strongest, so it was not the best choice to cultivate the wood system exercises, but fortunately, he was a miscellaneous spiritual root, and according to his performance last time, the green qi was still in it, second only to the perception of water, and it could also be cultivated, but this time will definitely be longer, but I don't know if I can suppress this poison and wait until the day when he succeeds in cultivation. ”

After thinking for a moment, the third division shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It is already good luck to be able to keep the arrival of this second person, I have thought too much, can I ask for a better result than this." So, let's start tomorrow, no matter what, my body can't afford to wait. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and settled down.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Yan woke up, suddenly felt refreshed, and his mood was like the blue sky of early autumn outside the window, after breakfast, he came to the teacher's house early, just like last time, as soon as he arrived in front of the stone house, the voice of the third division came out, "It's Li Yan, come in"

Although Li Yan has only been able to leave his house a few times a few times in so many days, he also roughly knows that his teacher will only go out once every few days, and he always cultivates behind closed doors in this valley stone house on weekdays.

Li Yan went in for another half a day, and after he came out, Ji Junshi also walked out slowly, summoned Chen An and Li Yin to give them some advice, and then he walked straight to the second stone house. Soon after, Chen An and Li Yin carried a delicate copper furnace to Li Yan's room, Li Yan waited in the room according to the teacher's instructions, and when he saw the two of them coming, he beckoned the two of them to put the copper furnace in the house.

This copper furnace is about half a person high, made of fine copper, the whole body is glowing with copper light, the lower part is a solid jade base, the furnace body is carved with three purple Jiao, the head of the Jiao is raised upward, forming a lifting shape, there are several empty places in the body and the furnace body, the scene in the furnace can be faintly seen, at this time the furnace is already red, but I don't know what kind of fuel, but there is no smoke coming out, and the furnace body has bursts of heat gushing out.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ji Junshi walked out of the second stone house, his blue-gray face was a little tired, Chen An and Li Yin immediately entered the stone layer, and after a while, they lifted a copper basin from this stone house, and there was also heat coming out of the basin, and then carried this basin to the back of Li Yan's stone house, put it on top of the three heads of the copper furnace, and then bowed to Ji Junshi and Li Yan, and the two closed the door and walked out.

The third division came to the copper furnace, and said to Li Yan with a smile on his tired face: "Have you memorized the mental mantra you said in the morning?"

Li Yan also stood in front of the copper furnace and responded respectfully: "The disciple has already remembered." ”

"Well, although each layer of mantra is not too much, but its meaning is profound and subtle, when you must understand and comprehend, for the teacher to use a small half a day to solve your doubts, is to let you fully understand the use of this first layer of mantras, the rest of the things, it depends on your own diligent practice, as the saying goes, 'the master leads the door, practice in the individual', this is the eternal truth. The third division nodded and said.

"The disciples should practice diligently, and thank the teacher for his guidance. Li Yan replied respectfully.

At this time, the copper basin above the copper furnace was already hot and boiling out, and if you looked closer, you could vaguely see a lot of herbs churning in the juice under the smoke in the copper basin, and there was a blue and black gas rising upwards, and it was wrapped around the copper basin.

"Well, the preparation of these herbs and trees is the secret method of this door, this pot of herbs and trees can be used repeatedly for seven days, after seven days, these herbs and trees will lose their effectiveness, and they need to be prepared again, and then the amount will increase by a few percent, so that after repeated seven seven or forty-nine days, your meridians will go through the process of washing the marrow and cutting the veins, and finally become extremely strong, only such meridians can withstand the domineering internal force of the sect behind, as far as this meridian alone is concerned, only these forty-nine days of work, compared to the martial arts two, Third-rate masters are also not afraid to let much, and usually people want to reach this point, without nearly ten years of work is unattainable, and this door can reach this point through the secret method of washing the scriptures, but this is also painful and abnormal, no one can complete it without great perseverance, these have to rely on yourself one by one to get through, you can understand. Speaking of this, the third runner-up's voice couldn't help but become stern.

"The disciple knows, and he will live up to the teacher's expectations" Li Yan looked at the teacher with a firm gaze. He had been repeatedly told about this in the morning, he was also a tenacious person, and he knew that there was no benefit for nothing, and that his martial arts were so domineering, and his cultivation must have its harshness, and he had already been prepared.

"Okay, then you can start, for the teacher these days I will guard the gate for you outside the house, if you have any problems, I will relieve you in time. After saying that, he said no more, opened the door and went out, then closed the door again from the outside, sat cross-legged on the stone table outside the room, closed his eyes and meditated.
