Chapter 5 The Mystery of the First Dawn
Everyone was really discussing the details of the plan, and Huo Tingyun, who had been sitting on the railing, motioned for everyone to stop, this point was the time when the jailer handed food to everyone. Then the jailer came up in a miscellaneous uniform, with a wooden bucket in one hand and a long rice spoon in the bucket, and a basket in the other.
The jailer came to the outside of the cell and put down the things in his hand, and waved his hand impatiently at the railing of the cell, and after the jailer waved his hand, Su Wufang finally heard the sound outside through the fence, thinking that the jailer had removed the soundproof barrier.
There was a shouting in the distance, which was faint by the time it arrived, but two people could still be heard in the distance.
The jailer opened the basket, and there were some empty bowls in it, and the jailer took out five of them and put them on the ground, and then used a long rice spoon to randomly beat a spoonful in the wooden barrel and buckled it into the bowl on the ground, and half of the spoon fell to the ground, and the rice mixed with vegetables made people lose their appetite when they looked at it.
The jailer smacked his tongue, knocked on the railing with a rice spoon with a look of disgust, and shouted, "It's time to eat." ”
Then he carried the barrel and basket to the next cell, and after the jailer left, Liu Hao stepped forward and took two bowls of food from under the railing.
At this time, Su Wufang noticed that there was a small square surrounded by a railing under the railing, just enough to take the bowl.
Liu Hao took a bowl of food and handed it to Su Wufang, and glanced at him meaningfully: "Eat, you have to eat well these days." ”
Su Wuxian knew that Liu Hao still had half a sentence that he hadn't finished, and he had the strength to eat well these days and implement the plan.
Su Wufang was not ambiguous, found a corner and sat down, and learned Liu Hao to grab the food with his hands and send it to his mouth.
Puyun also walked to the cell and took two bowls of rice, one bowl was forcibly stuffed into the hands of Huo Tingyun, who was sitting on the side, and the other bowl was placed in front of the dumb man.
Huo Tingyun looked at the food in his hand and frowned into a deep Sichuan character, he hadn't eaten for several days, and it didn't matter if he didn't eat anything according to his cultivation, but now his cultivation can't be used, and it is inevitable that he will be a little hungry after a long time.
Huo Tingyun watched even the dumb man eat with the rice bowl, and knew in his heart that he needed to eat something now so that he would not delay when implementing the plan, but looking at the food in the bowl and the way he ate with a few people, he really couldn't erase that face.
At this time, Liu Hao burped, stood up, put the bowl back outside the cell, walked to Huo Tingyun's side, squatted down, picked up his sleeve and wiped it on his mouth, and wiped his hands by the way.
Huo Tingyun stood up suddenly, holding the bowl in one hand and pointing at Liu Hao with the other, and was about to speak.
But Liu Hao opened his mouth first: "The heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies." One sentence blocked all the words behind Huo Tingyun in his throat.
"This is your Confucian saying, you are looking at you, but you are not willing to let you eat with your hands, and you are a disciple of Confucianism, you will not be in Confucianism like this, shame. ”
"Liu Hao, don't you mean to eat a meal, I just didn't want to eat just now, I want to wait a while, why do you have to care when I eat?" After speaking, Huo Tingyun grabbed the rice with his hand and sent it to his mouth.
Watching Huo Tingyun finally eat, Puyunkou recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good, good." ”
Liu Hao finished his own things and returned to Su Wufeng to sit down, Huo Tingyun knew in his heart that Liu Hao was for his own good, and he had never had a smooth ride until he got the clue of the Blood Demon Old Monster a week ago, and he couldn't help himself to get rid of this scourge.
I have never suffered a setback, but when I encounter such a situation, I can't let go of it and untie this knot, but I have stepped forward under Liu Hao's words, and I will definitely go further in my cultivation in the future.
After a few people finished eating and put the bowl at the entrance of the cell, the jailer came back to collect the bowl again, and Su Wuxian heard a shout in the distance at the door: "Lao Wang, hurry up, you want to run if you win." ”
The jailer in front of him casually threw the bowl into the basket and raised his head and shouted: "What are you urging, or you come, Lao Li and Liu Laizi are waiting, you see that Lao Tzu will go back and win away your pants later!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, he made up the soundproofing, and he could no longer hear the sound outside the cell.
When the jailer was gone, Su Wuxian returned to the middle of the cell and sat on the ground with a few people.
Liu Hao took the lead in opening his mouth: "That blood demon old monster has already obtained the main medicine, and he must be eager to start refining the medicine, we still have six days to go until today, and today we will set the cultivation method for Su Xiaozi." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, Huo Tingyun said: "My Confucian exercises, Zhongzheng is peaceful, vigorous, and has an excellent effect on dealing with evil ways, and Xiao Su has a Confucian foundation, and it is best to learn Confucianism." ”
Puyun shook his head: "Confucianism is vigorous, but when it comes to dealing with evil ways, it is better to learn my Buddhist exercises." ”
"Otherwise, my Taoism is not bad for evil ways, the point is that we only have fifteen days, your Confucianism pays attention to accumulation and Buddhism is too slow to talk about epiphany, although my Taoism is also step-by-step, but also very understanding, Su Xiaozi is smart, and learning my Taoist exercises must be a thousand miles a day. ”
The mute also said something rare at this time: "I have a pulse, fight hard, fight with people and fight for the earth and the sky, as long as I fight and don't die, I can make rapid progress in the battle, and in terms of speed, I have the fastest pulse." ”
Liu Hao shook his head and waved his hand and hurriedly denied: "No, how to fight in this cell, you have to fight with others to make rapid progress, no, no." ”
The dumb man thought for a while, and he didn't speak, and after a few discussions, Taoist exercises were indeed the best choice at present.
"Then it's decided, learn Taoist exercises. Liu Hao stood up and pointed in one direction: "Su boy, you kowtow three times in that direction." ”
Su Wufang also knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction pointed by Liu Hao: "Brother Liu, what am I worshipping." ”
"We rushed to the void mountain, only worshiped heaven and earth, Sanqing, teachers, and elders, and obeyed the power in a hurry. I don't have the right to accept apprentices, and this time it is counted as taking apprentices with a teacher. If we can go out, we will take you to my master's door, and you will be my junior brother from now on. ”
"Now Licheng, I won't tell you the rules when the time is pressing, and you will slowly understand it when you have a chance in the future, and I will tell you about our exercises in Chongxu Mountain, this method is called the moral law, you and I will come to the corner. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Su Wufang to the corner of the cell far away from everyone, and several people in the cell also knew the importance of this exercise, and they consciously came to the farthest corner from Su Wufang and the others.
"Senior brother, I will tell you little by little if you come over with your ear. ”
"Senior brother, it's okay for you to finish it at once, I'll remember it, I'm going to hurry up when the time is pressing. ”
Liu Hao looked suspicious at Su Wufang, his eyes revealed a kind of confidence, Liu Hao could only say suspiciously: "The basic exercises are mainly to absorb the spiritual power in the heaven and earth for their own use, so the basic exercises are a kind of breathing method to put it bluntly, the main body is the Tao Te Ching, using special breathing methods and sound resonance to preserve spiritual power in the body, come and tell you about it......"
While saying it, Su Wufang memorized it, since he was a child, his memory has been beyond ordinary people, and he can't help but sigh when he thinks of this, if he had this memory in his previous life, it would not be easy to take the 985211 exam.
The first layer of this moral law is very simple to memorize, Su Wufang quickly memorized it, but when he really tried it, he found that it was extremely difficult, and sometimes he had to inhale when he wanted to make a sound, which completely violated the rules of the human body.
Reading the Tao Te Ching in its entirety in this way is counted as a small cycle, nine times at a time is counted as a big cycle, and a large cycle is counted as a cultivation.
Now Su Wufeng has barely done a small cycle, and it seems that there is still a distance from completing a big cycle.
A few people on the side were in a hurry and had no choice, so they could only let him practice on the side alone, and outsiders couldn't help with this, at most they could provide some experience.
Everyone sat in a circle and looked at Su Wufang, who was constantly trying, Liu Hao scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously: "Xiao Suzi, it seems that the strength is not qi and blood." ”
"That is, the soul is strong, but this is good, cultivation consumes divine thoughts, and a strong soul can also allow him to cultivate for more time, didn't you yourself still tell me that you must first work hard and work your muscles and bones, and now it's okay to work hard, it's really slow. ”
"Amitabha, we can only wait for Su Xiao's donor, don't be in a hurry, everything is only fate. ”
"You're still too slow, you all have either a strong background, or you have the guidance of a famous teacher, and you have been working hard since you were a child. I don't know how difficult it is for those of us who don't have a backer, refining and refining is qi and blood, when I got the exercises, I practiced for a year just by refining and refining, how can I be like you who are the pride of the sky, you can refine and succeed in three or five days. ”
"Also, it's rare for Xiao Suzi to be like this. Saying that, Liu Hao turned his head in surprise and looked at the mute: "You actually said so many words, it's the first time." ”
"I just think that since you are going to die, what is there to talk about with the dead, you have time to chat here, it is better to pass on some experience, I am from a wild road, what I said may not be right. ”
Su Wufang gradually felt that his cultivation was a little difficult, his concentration was difficult to concentrate, and his mind was in a trance, knowing that he should rest for a while, so far he could complete half of the big cycle.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Hao and Huo Tingyun squatting on the ground, two big faces in front of his face, and one of them fell directly to the ground without controlling his balance, and was soon helped up by Liu Hao and Huo Tingyun.
"Senior brother, Mr. Huo, what are you doing here, is there a problem with my cultivation?"
"No, no, Senior Brother just wants to share his experience with you. ”
"There's no need to stick it so close. Su Wufang took a few steps back with his hands and feet: "This distance is very good, you can say it." ”
Liu Hao opened his mouth to say something, scratched his head again, and sat on the ground: "Sour scholar, you say it first, I don't know how to teach people, my master taught me to let me understand it myself." ”
Huo Tingyun stood up and tidied up his clothes, and sat down steadily: "Little Brother Su, this refining period is the foundation of everything, it is divided into three stages, the initial stage is to absorb spiritual power, and when you complete a large cycle, you can feel the sense of qi, even if you enter the threshold of refining, we have no way to help this step, we can only rely on the accumulation of your own body, I see that your body is not bad, your qi and blood are normal, and you will be able to get started soon." ”
Liu Hao looked at Huo Tingyun with a disgusted expression: "You just say this, I can also teach this." In the middle stage, it is to use qi and blood to combine qi and blood, so that qi and blood are active and strong, and to increase the amount of qi with qi and blood, which is a process of cyclic improvement. ”
"Then do you know which qi and blood to combine first at this stage?" Huo Tingyun glanced at Liu Hao defiantly.
Liu Hao opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it for a long time, he really didn't know how to answer, Huo Tingyun looked at Liu Hao's state and smiled with satisfaction, and pointed a few places on Su Wuxi's body with his hand: "Little Brother Su, this is the great power of my Confucian dynasties, which ended from reading aloud, reading aloud will affect these muscles, and breathing is the same, so in the middle term, you first use qi to combine these muscles and intestines, which can maximize your ability to absorb spiritual power." ”
Isn't what Huo Tingyun is talking about respiratory muscles, I know this, I have studied these thoroughly in my previous life, in addition to what Huo Tingyun said, there are many other respiratory muscles, such as diaphragm and extracostal muscles, I have seen it in my previous life. It seems that cultivation is also scientific, and it is not mystical at all.
Huo Tingyun continued: "When your qi combines with the qi and blood of the whole body, it will be in the late stage, but you must pay attention, and finally use qi to combine the heart, the heart is the source of qi and blood, and it must be gradual and gradual, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the impact of combining with qi, and it is extremely dangerous." ”
"In the later stage of refining, it is necessary to incorporate enough qi, let the qi fill the body, let the qi in the qi and blood overflow and then collect it into the dantian, this process is to convert the spiritual power of the outside world into your own qi, I don't have any good methods at this stage, after all, the refining period is the stage of laying the foundation, and few people will study how to speed it up, and the more solid the better. ”
"Amitabha, the poor monk has some insights into the late stage of refining, and he can compress the absorbed qi and concentrate it on the mind. The heart is the place where the flow of qi and blood is transformed, and you don't need to make the whole body full of qi and blood to refine your own qi, but this hair has the intention of tricking, which is not conducive to future cultivation. After Puyun finished speaking, he motioned for Liu Hao to continue.
Liu Hao also began to talk about Puyun: "Next, let me say, after all the dantian's qi is full, it is to break through the refining and reach the qi training period, you need to fuse the qi and the divine thoughts, and turn the qi into mana, before that, you have to open your divine thoughts, which involves opening the divine thoughts, but your soul is strong, this step should be easy, each family and each faction has different methods, but the different paths are the same, it is nothing more than familiarizing yourself with the classics, feeling the Tao in it, realizing your own thoughts, and then using the qi to guide you to realize the divine thoughts." ”
"No one can help you with this, you can only rely on yourself, and everyone realizes it differently. I can only tell you some experience directions, for example, what I realized is the Taoist way of indisputability, which is derived from the "Tao Te Ching" "The husband is not fighting, so the world can not fight with it". After speaking, Liu Hao glanced at Huo Tingyun, with inquiry and pleading in his eyes.
Huo Tingyun smiled slightly and nodded: "What I understand is benevolence and righteousness, from the words of Mencius, "Life is also what I want, and righteousness is also what I want." You can't have both, and neither can you sacrifice your life to take righteousness." ”
"What the poor monk realized was that he crossed one of them, and the poor monk did not realize it from a certain sentence or a certain deceptive scripture, but it was realized by the poor monk and the master when they saw the suffering of the world when they traveled. ”
"What I understand is fighting, fighting for wealth and luck, and fighting for a glimmer of life. ”
Liu Hao was a little surprised when he heard that the dumb man also opened his mouth, stood up and twisted the magic trick in his hand, and respectfully saluted the three of them, and the three of them calmly accepted that there was no return salute.
After the salute, Liu Hao turned around and looked at Su Wufang seriously, Liu Hao's serious expression was something he had never seen before, even during the entrance ceremony.
"This is everyone's secret, everyone's belief support, but also everyone's weakness, everyone is willing to say it just so that you can realize your thoughts earlier. ”
After Liu Hao finished speaking, Su Wufang knew the importance of this, this is a person's greatest persistence, and it is easy to use this to target a person's belief if it is known by others, if a person's belief collapses, it is equivalent to being wasted.
was about to stand up and salute everyone, but was pressed back by Liu Hao: "Sit down, don't thank them, you took such a big risk to save them, they should thank you even more, and I salute again, if you don't do it, you will lose, no, no." ”
Liu Hao made such a fuss, and Su Wufang couldn't stand it, but everyone's love will be deeply remembered, although they will save them, but if they don't have them, they can only wait for death, and saving them is also saving themselves, but they have said their weaknesses in order to guide themselves, and they must remember this feeling.
