On the second day of the first lunar month, Jiuzhou has always had the tradition of returning to the mother's door, whether it is a woman who marries a chicken with a chicken, a woman who marries a dog with a dog for many years, or a small couple who are newly married to Yan'er. All follow the tradition, get up early, prepare a specially cut fat and thin pork rump meat, full of a large piece, a full ten catties up. Luoyang City is called: Li. The meaning of the door-to-door ceremony, greater than the sky, ceremony, sincerity. The bigger the ceremony, the more face, which indirectly illustrates the family status of the girl in her in-law's family. Therefore, the men in the family will not be stingy in this regard, even if the family is not wealthy, they will cut a large piece of money to give their wives a long face.

So when Emperor Han Qing went out, he saw such a picture. A strange picture of a man and a woman looking like a couple on the street, a man holding a large piece of pork in his hand, and a woman carrying a shoulder on his back. It seems that the wind and snow have not affected their mood to return to their parents' door at all, and they are happy in the wind and snow.

In the past few days of the Spring Festival, because his body has not fully recovered, he lies on the bed almost every day, covering the quilt tightly. Although he obeyed the pharmacist's orders and supplied carbon fire every day, he still felt cold in his hands and feet. In the meantime, on the first day of the new year, with the support of the halberd, I accompanied everyone in the grass hall to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. They laughed and laughed at the banquet, and Emperor Han Qing didn't eat a few bites of food, but he missed his grandparents, father and mother more and more.

As if seeing that his mood was not high, the pharmacist took the initiative to comfort the young man's heart.

"Qingdi, I've heard about you too. This great calamity for young people is too difficult for you. But we are living in the world, and some tribulations are used as spices in life. Even if it is not what we want, since it has come, we can only relax and have the courage to accept it. Look at things from a different perspective and don't let yourself be depressed. In your case, it is equivalent to picking up a life, and if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will be blessed. Don't get too hung up! Make this place your home, and stay as long as you want. I think that the case can be solved quickly and the culprits will be brought to justice. ”

The old pharmacist's heartfelt words were like a lifesaver for a drowning man to Emperor Han Qing.

In fact, Emperor Han Qingdi's real widowhood has nothing to do with the person who committed the assassination, he just suddenly thought of the New Year, this is the first time that there are no relatives around for the New Year. Seeing others laughing and laughing, and having someone to accompany him, he was a little sad.

In the past, I didn't want to celebrate the New Year with my grandparents, or my parents brought me to celebrate the New Year with my grandparents. At this time, my grandmother always stood at the door with a smile, and even the folds on her face seemed to be smiling, opening and closing. Mother Wang Xia cooperated with her grandmother in the kitchen to cook a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and father Han Changsheng accompanied his grandfather to chat in the yard. And Emperor Han Qing was on the side, jumping up and down so unhappily.

It's just that this year, all this seems to have nothing to do with me.

Later, the days were spent in bed. Although it can be irritating at times. Emperor Han Qing was still patient and couldn't help but not get out of bed. Lying in bed every day, my thoughts are flying. Take the daily decoction of the nourishing body on time. The effect of the decoction was amazing, and according to his own predictions, it might take another week to get off the ground. But after only two days of taking it, my body has completely changed. From gritting his teeth and holding on to Chinese New Year's Eve, he can now sit up straight easily. His body was gradually improving, and Emperor Han Qing's gloomy mood was slowly brightening.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the wind and snow are still there. After these few days of recuperation, the body has recovered most of it, except for the weakness of qi, it is not a big problem, and walking is no longer affected. Therefore, after some thought, Emperor Han Qing decided to leave the hospital and leave the Lying Grass Hall.

I cleaned up the room inside and out, and changed into clothes that had been washed by the halberd. He went to the pharmacist's room to say goodbye to the pharmacist.

With a serious face, he bowed respectfully to the pharmacist. Say that you don't thank you for your great kindness, don't dare to forget, don't forget it, and there will be a good reward in the future. I've been bothered these days, and thank me for the harvest and the meticulous care in the past few days.

Since I am in good health, I will not bother my husband.

Then I came to the street where the wind and snow were still blowing, and what I saw was the picture of the husband and wife returning to their parents' door.

tightened his shirt and turned around and disappeared into the snow.

The drunken incense building in the east of the city is still lively and noisy. Some people come by the wind and snow to stay in the hotel, and some people travel with the wind and snow and work hard. Life does not change its appearance because of personal will, it still goes its own way, and it runs as before. Regardless of whose departure, the sun rises the next day as usual, impartially, and in the same orbit.

The street in front of Zuixiang Building was crowded with people, and the flow of people did not decrease due to the New Year. As the vane of consumption in the east of the city, Zuixianglou has never lacked customers who spend a lot of money, and during the New Year, there are many high-rollers who walk around Jiuzhou to return to their hometowns and bring their relatives and friends to feast here.

Today is no exception, there are gorgeously dressed pot-bellied men calling friends to ride in a carriage decorated with gold and splendour, and stopped at the entrance of the drunken incense building; there are also bearded men with high crowns and big sleeves and fluttering sleeves who drive to the store in person; there are also white-clothed young men with long swords, who come from the heavy snow with fluttering clothes, and walk into the store with young and beautiful women waiting at the door; there is also a faltering The young man who walked a few steps and stopped, came from the wind and snow with a pale face, and the snow covered the young man's shoulders, but he didn't seem to care, stopped at the street entrance, raised his palm to block the view of the wind and snow, and looked forward.

The young man standing in the wind and snow had a rich face, as if he was annoyed and full of resentment.

"Thou shalt slay a thousand swordsmen, thou hast done me miserable. After paying the medical treatment fee, my master now has nothing on me. How are you going to let me keep traveling?"

Emperor Han Qing looked annoyed.

The little gold and silver that I had left was used to pay for the consultation, and now I am penniless. If it weren't for the fact that the inn still had some deposits, I was afraid that I would be swept away immediately when I returned to the inn.

The boy thought hatefully.

Next, we have to think of a way to earn some gold and silver to get by, otherwise the young man who used to travel in a carriage will not walk here in the wind and snow. There is really suffering, and a penny is difficult to defeat a hero. There was no good body, and it trembled more and more.

Pressing the worry in his heart, the boy quickened his steps and walked towards the inn.

So when the boy held up his heavy steps, he staggered to the door of the inn. The store is in full swing, full of seats, small and second-hand people are busy, and they are instructed to go back and forth, and they cannot stop for a moment.

Emperor Han Qing didn't say anything, lowered his head and walked upstairs. It was Xiao Er who spotted him first, pulled away and walked straight to him.

"Han Gongzi, why didn't you come back recently?"

Emperor Han Qing didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he just replied to go home. Xiao Er is busy again!

Walking to the second floor, there is a private room slightly blocked by a screen. A man in white was serving vegetables, a long sword, leaning on the corner of the table casually, this person attracted the attention of Emperor Han Qing. The temperament is fresh and refined, and he doesn't seem to be a mortal person, and he is similar to the temperament of Li Guohao that Emperor Han Qing once saw. The eyes of the two sides met, nodding to each other, Emperor Han Qing was just a little strange, now there are cultivators in this drunken incense building who have come to eat and stay, why have they never seen it before?

I went back to the room and checked the furnishings in the house, and there were no traces of being turned, so I was relieved. I haven't been back for too long this time, and the only thing I'm worried about is that the items have been turned over. I sat on the stool and rested for a long time, and picked up the charcoal basin to make a fire to keep out the cold. Then sit on the edge of the bed and wrap yourself tightly in the quilt.

Emperor Han Qing nestled in the quilt and began to think about something. There is no need to think about revenge recently, there is no way to investigate, and no one has figured out who it is, so it can only be put on hold for now. The body can only recover slowly, so the immediate priority is to practice the methods mentioned in the Taoist scriptures and make money. There is no skill in making money, and you need to think about it in the long run, and the deposit is enough to last for some time, so you can only keep it for the future. Studying the content of the Taoist scriptures has become a top priority, and you can do what you say.

"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things." All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. ”

Emperor Han Qing retold the mystery again, and patiently figured out the true meaning over and over again.

It turns out that the Tao is unique, and the Tao itself contains the two qi of yin and yang, and the two qi of yin and yang intersect to form a state of uniformity, in which all things arise. All things turn from yin to yang, and the two qi of yin and yang are stirred into a new harmony.

So is it possible to understand that the Tao has existed in the world since ancient times? The Tao itself contains the two qi of yin and yang, and the convergence of yin and yang gives birth to all things in heaven and earth. Then a new balance is formed, and as soon as you feel the presence of qi, you can step into the path of cultivation?

Emperor Han Qing raised his own question, does that mean that the existence of one is qi. Is it to feel the existence of qi in the air, and then incorporate it into the body, to open up the treasures of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivation, to achieve the purpose of improving physical fitness, and thus to achieve the state of detachment?

After understanding it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. Emperor Han Qing simply stopped his research and simply got up to recruit Xiao Er.

In the end, I asked Xiao Er to buy a cowhide roll, carve a knife, and engrave the 3,000 words of the Taoist scripture on the cowhide roll. As for why it is not written on paper, but resigned to the second engraved on the cowhide roll, of course, it is because of the advantages of the cowhide roll. After working for a long time, tired and exhausted, it was finally completed, and Emperor Han Qing couldn't put it down and studied it carefully with a cowhide roll in his hand.

This research has been more than half a month, and it has never been able to do so. The main reason is the existence of that 'one' qi, and the root cause can never be found. Even though Emperor Han Qing used all the methods, he still couldn't feel the existence of Qi. Just when Emperor Han Qing was about to give up, things took a turn for the better.

On this day, Emperor Han Qing, as usual, got up early and pushed open the doors and windows, when the sky was white, a touch of golden light slowly rose into the air, shining on the snow that had not yet melted, like a layer of gold, extremely luxurious.

The light in the distance turned from gold to purple, and it was just when yin and yang alternated day and night, when suddenly Emperor Han Qing felt a touch of unusual qi in the air.

Intuitively, Emperor Han Qing felt that this was the "one" he had been looking for for in the past few days. Don't think too much about it, lest you miss the opportunity. He immediately sat down cross-legged, used the instructions in the Taoist scriptures, silently felt, and carefully guided. Then, in his perception, Dongfang was attracted by him and slowly approached with an indescribable qi that could only be understood.

He immediately followed the words of the Tao Sutra, opened his heart, and used a special running route to run at the navel for a week. Until there is a suction force that is like nothing, as soon as the breath is close, immediately increase the suction, inhale the air into the body in an instant, relax the whole body, and close the navel valve.

That qi was in his body, rampage, and Emperor Han Qing, who was tossing, was dizzy. He knew that this was not the time to relax, and he had to make persistent efforts to completely appease this qi and let it live in harmony with his body, and then he was done, and he could be regarded as stepping into the realm of cultivation for the first time. I didn't dare to use two minds, slowly adapted to the discomfort at the beginning, and followed the guidance step by step, driving that qi to swim towards the dantian. After some tossing, in the end, the anger came down honestly, and An Sheng was stationed between the dantians, ups and downs.

Later, after careful consideration, Emperor Han Qing understood why he couldn't do it a few days ago. It turns out that the generation of this qi requires some special conditions, and it can only be bred when yin and yang are transformed. No wonder there is a proverb that purple air comes from the east.

After everything was cleaned up, Emperor Han Qing was immersed in the joy of getting the 'one' for the first time.
