Chapter 25: Shen Fang City

Qingcang Jinshi Building, the most famous teahouse in Xichang, is not because of its luxury, but because of its location, vision, culture and the owner of the teahouse, it is the favorite place for scholars and literati in Xichang who feel that they have some status. On this day, the Jinshi Building is still full of friends, just after the June Lantern Festival, countless poems are waiting for the appreciation of professionals.

"The March Lantern Festival is only the first day, the first day of the poem only two, a sigh of Mei and then praise the city, the masterpiece from then out of the youth... Old Mr. Ji, this Wei Guoguang doesn't know where it came from, he is so talented, he seems to have never heard of it?" asked an old man in white.

"I don't know... A word of poetry... One to simple, one to complex... Different paths to the same end, have all reached the realm of transformation... Mr. Ji, the owner of the teahouse, shook his head while holding the manuscript of the poem.

"The poem is simple, apt to the meaning of advocating nature, my generation of laypeople, in the end, there is no chance... It's that poem, written to the prosperity of Xichang, no one can compare... Why don't you carve it upstairs in Xichang Chongsheng, and think it will be remembered by posterity?" an old man suggested.

"Good. “

Qingkong has been in the 235th year of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Chongsheng Building of Xichang of Zhengguo in the Northern Regions, 'Wangjiang Tide' was engraved here, which is the first time that Li Ji has left his mark in this world.

——————————————————————————————————————————

The northern cold continent is divided into two pieces in the north and south by the Yunhan Tianling, and the climate is completely different, the south is hot, humid and rainy, and the north is cold, dry and snowy. Zhou is a country in the south, but because of its proximity to Yunhan Tianling, the summer temperature is cooler than that of other southern countries.

Among the southern countries, Zhou is a small country, almost as close to the south. As the capital of the Zhou State, Shenfang City is a cultural and economic city of the Zhou State. The west city of Shenfang City is mainly inhabited by a large number of middle-class people such as merchants and officials, with good public security and elegant environment. A small courtyard house in Jian'anfang in Xicheng, a key figure in the courtyard is advancing and retreating like the wind to practice fencing, which is the great talent Wei Guoguang - Li Ji that Xichang Shizi never forgets.

The time has entered July, Li Ji finally arrived in Shenfang City the day before yesterday, there are still two months before the Crescent Moon Sect opens its doors to accept apprentices, and it is inconvenient to live in a hotel, so he rented this small courtyard, which is very quiet, and the courtyard is enough for him to practice martial arts fencing.

Fencing exercises the body, breathes, breathes, adjusts the body to the best condition, and then bathes and changes clothes, the purpose of this program is to calm the mind. Of course, even if you burn incense and touch the qin, Li Ji is still full of awe of the immortal road in this world.

Everything is in order, sitting cross-legged on the couch in the room, Li Ji picked up the Taoist slip and put it in front of his forehead, and after a while, a gentle and firm consciousness rushed straight to his mind, as if he was in another world, "Feeling the Tao and understanding the law, it is not lightly taught, and the immortals are different, and there is no reason to enter." Those who receive this simplicity should practice the precepts, the precepts, and the precepts, and if they violate this law, they should bear the cause and effect. The beginning is actually a secret regulation, and then, a vivid picture of the man's naked luck and exercise appeared in his mind, from where the acupuncture points begin, which meridians pass through, and where they end up are clearly demonstrated, and after a while, the Tao Jian made a crisp sound, turning into dust, and at the same time, a faint breath different from the internal force flowed out of the Jian, starting from the waist, first the spine, then the spiritual platform, and then the large vertebrae, attributed to the brain, so run three times, this breath dissipated. Li Ji remained motionless, carefully savoring the sound of the memories in Jianzhong, and only after a long time did he open his eyes.

The magical Dao Jian on one side, the immortal family's means, is really different. Originally, Li Ji was worried that he didn't know enough about the acupuncture points and meridians of the body, and he might not be able to understand the true transmission of Taoism, how could he know that the Taoist Jian was so clear and clear, especially the last trace of breath, when the mana of the cultivator was undoubted, he took him three times, this kind of learning method, even if it costs a hundred taels, it is not wronged.

After a short rest, Li Ji began to carry the internal force according to the Taoist Jane, the first step, store qi in the waist, the waist point Li Ji is very familiar, in the internal strength he used to practice, there is this acupoint, the trouble is the next step, the previous internal strength through the waist is the Zhongfu acupoint, and now the sense of qi spiritism requires to go to the middle of the spine, the spine is the big acupoint, Li Ji has never opened the acupoint, so the next task is to continue to gather qi to impact the spine, this is a dripping water through the stone, but he can't be in a hurry.

Rushing to the acupuncture points for nearly an hour, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and there is still no effect, but the meridian acupoints are faintly painful, knowing that things cannot be done, they are no longer reluctant. Although I am a little disappointed by this progress, I am not discouraged. Li Ji has never stopped learning the meridian acupuncture points of the human body since he crossed over, the body is like a treasure medicine, step by step, this is not a bold and courageous thing, patience and persistence are more important.

As far as he knows in this world, there are 831 acupuncture points in the human body, including 60 single acupoints and 771 heavy acupoints. The evolutionary history of human beings is a process of continuous excavation of their own abilities. In the previous life, the world was constantly exploring and excavating external things, so there were 118 elements in the periodic table, and the blue sky world explored the human body itself, so there were 831 acupuncture points in the human body. The 118 elements of the periodic table are not the limit, and there will definitely be discoveries in the future, and similarly, the 831 acupuncture points in the human body are not the limit, but the speed of discovery is getting slower and slower.

From this day on, Li Ji basically stayed in the courtyard, exercise, fencing, Liuhe swordsmanship, breathing, punching, at the end of the day, it was also full of arrangements, in addition to going to the corner restaurant to eat, basically staying at home, and in Xichang is completely different, except for every two or three days to go to Shenfang City Jixian Fang to read books.

Jixianfang is a royal bookstore, which is the product of the great achievements of the previous Zhou emperors, somewhat similar to the national library in the previous life, allowing scholars to read for free. But over the decades, it was damaged, damaged, and lost countless times, so the newly appointed emperor changed the free to a fee, one or two silver can be seen for three hours, which is not cheap, so the flow of reading has decreased dramatically. However, this price was nothing to Li Ji, especially since there were many books about Taoism, and after a period of reading, he finally figured out the role of the so-called Taoist palace in the entire monastic system.

Dao Palace, to put it bluntly, is the enrollment place of the Xiuzhen Sect in the mortal world, and entering the Dao Palace is equivalent to a preparatory department, here, in addition to learning the usual scriptures, history, and miscellaneous texts, the most important thing is to learn the method of feeling qi and channeling.

In fact, not every Taoist child has the opportunity to learn the method of feeling qi from the Dao Jian like Li Ji, and not all Taoist children have internal force in their bodies before entering the Dao Palace, so those 12-15 year old children will refine the qi and veins under the teaching of the Taoist officials after entering the Dao Palace. For children who do not know internal strength, it is actually very difficult to start from scratch and learn the method of feeling qi and channeling spirit through five acupuncture points within three years.

Blessed land, a place full of aura. This kind of place is not something that ordinary mortals can easily enter, because the spiritual energy of the blessed land is limited, and it decays with the passage of time, and the cultivators themselves still feel that it is not enough, so how can they allow mortals to come in and share the profits? Therefore, the method of feeling qi and channeling can only be learned in the mortal world, and if you learn it, you are allowed to enter the blessed land and feel the qi according to this method. If you are fortunate enough to feel the aura, you can step into the door of monasticism, if not, where do you come from and where do you have to go back, the time allowed to stay in the blessed land is generally about three months, this time is particular, generally speaking, if you can't feel the qi in three months, you will have no hope for life.

It seems that the gap between me and those Taoist children who have studied for several years is not as big as imagined? Li Ji thought that as long as he could break through the five acupuncture points before September, everyone would actually be standing on the same starting line. The real difficulty of this is actually in the three months of the blessed land, many books in the Jixian Pavilion have recorded that the best age for feeling qi and channeling is between 15-18 years old, too young, the mind is not enough, too old, the body is sluggish, and there is little hope.
