Volume 1 Treasure Seal Recognition Chapter 4 Descending the Tiger and Refining the Bones
The morning light was faint, and in the outer area of the valley bottom forest on the western slope of the Yuyu Mountain, two figures broke the silence of the early morning.
"Master, help!"
Running for his life, a wild boar with sharp fangs hangs behind him.
The wild boar with a lock of white mane on its forehead was extremely fast, despite its huge size, and the ground was trampled deep everywhere it passed.
Every time he was about to catch up, he changed direction and pulled away slightly. The boar became more and more annoyed, panting, and pursued it relentlessly.
"I was just passing by, I didn't mean to scare your sow and disturb your good deeds!"
Wandering away while running and shouting, gradually felt that his strength was about to run out, so he chose a tree from afar, jumped vertically, kicked his feet on the trunk, and by inertia, flew up to the high branches above, and pulled his hands again, and quickly climbed up the tree.
Seeing this, the wild boar had no intention of stopping, and wanted to hit the trunk directly.
However, before he could touch the trunk of the tree, the ground under his feet suddenly collapsed, and the boar fell into the trap.
You wiped her sweat and gasped.
"Good fellow, it's really a tendon, more than my precious master. â
While complaining in his heart about the master who didn't know where to run for a long time, he took off the water bag from his waist and drank a big sip. There was no hurry to go down, for the beast would have to struggle in the trap for a long time.
The morning breeze blows and is exceptionally cool, and the dappled sunlight shines on the body, making people feel refreshed.
Wandering knows that this feeling is the joy of victory.
And this joy, he has experienced many times in the last two months, and he never gets bored.
It's also thanks to the fact that he was born in a hunter's family, knows a lot of hunting skills, and is quite familiar with the terrain in this area, otherwise he wouldn't have died a few times since his master's completely free-range teaching.
Anyway, it's still early, so I'm not in a hurry, so I just sit cross-legged on the tree and meditate on my cultivation.
"Master said that in the stage of refining the mind, there are two basic exercises to be practiced: the Retrospective Inner Illumination Exercise and the Breathing Meditation Exercise. â
You Li silently recited the mantra of the exercises in his heart, slowly pulled out a wisp of thought from his mind, starting from the entrance between the eyes, down the mouth, through the twelve-story floor at the throat, the heart of the chest, and patrolled to the vicinity of the Guanyuan acupoint in the lower dantian......
The wandering mind has unconsciously immersed itself in the mysterious realm of looking at one's own body.
At the same time, his mouth and nose are also in accordance with the breathing exercises of the "Finger Xuantong Micro Heart Sutra", accompanied by the inspection of the mind, blowing and breathing, exhaling the old and absorbing the new, supervising the meridians, and connecting yin and yang.
At this point, his mind finally resonated more and more harmoniously with his body, and he could not only "see" the operation of various meridians and organs in his body, but also "hear" the sound of the whole body moving.
It's a wonderful feeling of being one with body and mind.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly noticed that in the void about two inches inward of the Guan Yuan acupoint located under the umbilicus, a little warm breath appeared out of thin air.
Wandering was overjoyed. According to Master, this almost undetectable warm breath is at the center point of the opening of the lower dantian and the foundation building.
It has been more than three months since he entered the refining stage, and it is the first time that he has felt this warm breath. This means that he has officially started his cultivation of the Tuna Gong and the Vipassana Flashback Gong!
Only then did Master's voice lazily sound in his head: "Well done, finally got the hang of it." These two basic exercises, as long as they are practiced for a long time, they can 'subdue the essence and qi, descend the white tiger', and refine the qi and rush the knack. â
After listening, he looked inward again, and then got up.
You Li looked around and found that there was no movement in the trap on the ground, but the smell of blood wafting from it attracted many carnivores.
Wandering condescendingly, staring coldly at those predators.
This situation was expected by him, and the reason why he chose to stand still just now was to wait for these prey to be automatically delivered to the door.
At this time, the smaller of the group of animals suddenly fell to the ground first. The larger ones were frightened and tried to flee, but their legs became weak and they threw themselves into the street one after another.
It turned out that under the teaching of Master Xuan Yuzi, Youli learned to make an anesthetic powder called "Drunken San", which is colorless and tasteless, and adults will have to sleep for at least one day and one night.
Before he even went up the tree, he scattered his drunkenness on top of the trap. Now it is a time and effort to catch them all in one go.
He jumped down from the tree and walked straight to the edge of the pit, only to see the fat boar, pierced by three sharp stakes buried in the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Withstanding the smell of blood, he jumped into the bottom of the pit, and it took a lot of effort to cut off the most delicate pieces of meat, tie them with hemp rope, hang them around his neck, and then kick the mud wall upwards, grab the edge of the pit with both hands, and turn over and out of the trap. Then he left the scene without looking back.
As for those beasts that were drunk and scattered, You Li didn't even look at them.
It's not that he has compassion, it's because the power of the anesthetic powder is quite long-lasting, and it will stay in these beasts for at least a day, and it is inedible.
Carrying the wild boar, he quickly rushed to the stream, washed the pork that was still dripping with blood in the stream, and walked up for nearly two miles without stopping, and came to a deep stream.
In the bushes a mile away, Xuan Yuzi nodded.
"Yes, this kid is really thoughtful enough, and his precocious wisdom is a little terrifying. â
While thinking about it, Xuan Yuzi was about to step forward to eat, but suddenly felt something in her heart and immediately stopped.
The wanderer by the stream was setting up a fire and roasting wild boar, and at this time he was also alert, and pulled out a dagger from his waist that had not been used so far, and looked vigilantly at the dense forest more than ten feet away.
Not long after, when the forest bird was startling, a yellow and white tiger slowly walked out of the dense forest.
The large insect overflowing with saliva is about 1.2 meters long, and it is a white-spotted tiger in the Western Regions that has not yet reached adulthood.
I saw him leaning slightly, slowly approaching, grinning his teeth, full of provocation.
"Master has been nagging, in the refining stage, it is difficult to subdue the essence qi, and it is even more difficult to descend the white tiger. I'd like to see if I can stop your white spotted tiger today. â
ââQi refiner, subduing the essence of qi, returning to the roots, called "Descending White Tiger".
As the refining stage of the middle stage of qi refining, the former inherits the nature of refining the heart, and then opens the life of enlightenment, cultivating both life and life, taking into account both form and spirit, and finally completing the feat of "male descending to the white tiger and female slaying the red dragon", which is a crucial step in cultivating immortals and entering the Tao.
The tiger cub seemed to be able to understand human speech, and he was annoyed and angry, and kicked his legs and pounced, and came violently.
Wandering away, he put the knife into the sheath, squatted slightly on his knees, and also greeted it, but it was a straight tiger stake step.
What is made is the tiger-shaped fist of the five-shaped fist.
Just when the two sides were about to make contact, they finally separated faster.
I saw that he accelerated forward with both hands, took the lead in grabbing the two thick tiger claws, kicked the ground with his left leg, leaned sideways, took advantage of the momentum, and took advantage of the unstable center of gravity of the young tiger, freed his right hand, and handed out a heavy punch.
The tiger cub, who had been hit the right cheek, flew diagonally out of the way. When he staggered and stood up, the corner of his mouth was dripping with blood, and a tiger tooth was knocked out.
This time, his face ached, as if he had been blinded, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he actually caught his tail between his legs, and turned around and fled without hesitation, and there was no longer the king of the forest.
Standing still, he did not come forward to pursue, but carefully recalled the gains and losses of the fight just now. After a long time, I realized that I had missed the weight of my punch, and my phalanges were broken.
"It seems that Master is right, my bones are too bad. There is a saying of 'tiger-shaped bone refining' in the five-shaped boxing, and the master asked me to use the tiger-shaped fist more in this experience, which is indeed very meaningful. â
You Li sighed secretly, endured the pain, and put the phalanges back into place. Back to the stream, he took the roasted wild boar meat with his left hand and feasted on it.
"Yes, yes, I can actually beat away a white-spotted tiger with one punch - hey, hey, take it easy, and leave two mouthfuls for Master. â
You Li handed the master a freshly roasted string of wild boar meat, and said without complacency, "That's just a tiger cub." â
Xuan Yuzi chewed and swallowed the barbecue meat in her mouth, and was a little speechless: "What about the young tiger? You are only six years old." â
