Back in Fengxi Village, the bright moon was already hanging high.

The village has always been silent at night, at this time He Ping's house was lonely, pushed open the wooden door, lit a candle, and took out a already cold and hard nest head from the stove room, He Ping slowly chewed and swallowed.

As the Taoist said, He Ping took out a jade piece, and once again dripped a few drops of blood onto the jade piece, once the blood dripped down, it was all inhaled by the jade piece, and then the jade piece turned into a white light, which passed straight through He Ping's forehead and pierced into the brain.

With a burst of skull-splitting pain, "The First Explanation of Cultivation" is as memorable as the "Thousand Character Text" that he read when he was a student, and it appeared out of thin air, with a total of more than 38,000 words, and the words are clear.

As its name suggests, the book "The First Explanation of Practice" basically describes some of the basic knowledge of practice, and the first sentence of its opening sentence is, "People have spirits, and they change their lives by going against the sky." ”

There is no way to mention the origin of the practice, but the practice has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has long been full of flowers and sects.

If a practitioner wants to enter the path of cultivation, he needs to be able to keep the aura of heaven and earth into the body, and this first step is called refining qi, although people can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, but once the aura of heaven and earth enters the body, if there is no means to keep it, it will dissipate in an instant, so this first step is extremely difficult.

If you can complete the step of retaining qi, you can be regarded as a monk.

Those with qualifications above the three-grade spiritual root only need to run the exercises, and the aura can easily complete this first step after running a circle in the meridians, but for the second-grade spiritual roots, they need to run the exercises all year round, broaden the meridians, and adapt the meridians to the aura of heaven and earth, so as to retain the aura.

As for the first-grade spiritual root, it often takes more than fifty years before it can start refining qi.

After 50 years of diligent daily work, it can be regarded as a formal path of cultivation.

He Ping's heart sank to the bottom, fifty years of time, if this is the case, when he officially embarked on the path of cultivation, he was already more than sixty years old, and he was dying, how could he pursue the great road of immortality?

But there are no absolutes, and the "Initial Explanation of Cultivation" also records how to quickly break through the method of refining qi for those with first- and second-grade spiritual root qualifications, that is, the use of elixir.

The aura of heaven and earth not only nourishes people, but also nourishes things, and the place with rich aura has more elixir in addition to fierce beasts.

The elixir contains extremely rich aura, and the effects of various elixirs are different, and there is a thing recorded in the "Initial Solution of Cultivation", which is called Tongmai Fruit.

Tongmai fruit is like citrus, but the whole body is silvery white, its taste is astringent and sweet, ten years of flowering and ten years of fruit, each Tongmai fruit can make the first and second grade qualifications less than ten years of penance, but the Tongmai fruit has no effect on people who have stepped into Qi refining.

The last time the fruit of the pulse was ripe was twenty years ago, and this year it was the ripe fruit of the pulse, and the place where the fruit was ripe recorded in the "Initial Solution of Practice" was in the Yishui Mountain next to Yishui City, Yishui was more than 200 miles away from Shaoyang, and the road was far away.

"There is no endless road to heaven!" He Ping secretly thought, if he can get a few Tongmai fruits, he can directly step into the path of cultivation and save fifty years of hard work, if he has the heart to practice, this trip to Yishui must go.

"If you can break through the Qi refining and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi enters the body, you can drive the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!" He Ping opened his eyes and dripped out a few drops of blood onto another jade piece.

This jade piece is "Wood Execution"!

There are more than 3,000 words in "Wood Decision", and when it is poured into the brain, it is only a moment of pain, and it is completely manifested in the brain.

According to the classification of the "Initial Interpretation of Practice", "Wood Action" belongs to the two grades of the wood line, the aura between heaven and earth is divided into five systems, the fire line bursts, the main kills, the gold line is sharp, the main is divided, the water line is soft, the main heals, the wood line stretches, the main revival, the earth line is neutralized, and the main is modest.

If you don't practice a single practice and don't deliberately absorb a certain line of heaven and earth aura, the absorbed heaven and earth aura is a combination of the five elements, which is the most original source of heaven and earth aura.

Among the five elements, fire is the most lethal, but in terms of cultivation speed, the fastest is still wood.

The beginning of "Wood Decision" is the method of luck: "Dantian is full of energy, and supervision and appointment are parallel." Qi through the Du pulse, into the mud pill, Shun Ren pulse, return to the dantian. ”

In addition to the method of luck, it is all about the explanation of the details of luck, the experience of predecessors and the taboos of luck.

"Wood Xingdu" is not obscure, it is more effective in places where wood aura is abundant, the first grade of the exercise can be practiced to the point of refining qi, and the second grade of the exercise is faster than the first grade, and can be practiced to the later stage of qi refining.

After reciting it a few more times, He Ping sat down cross-legged with excitement, silently recited "Wood Decision", and then exhaled the aura.

To breathe in the aura of heaven and earth, you need to be calm and feel the aura, and the aura can be swallowed and inhaled, and this step is called sensing.

The generation of qi has nothing to do with one's own qualifications, it only depends on whether the practitioner can be as calm as water and whether he can resonate with the aura of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, although He Ping's qualifications are poor, the generation of qi finally came in time.

In the second hour of He Ping's breathing, he finally realized that a trace of heaven and earth aura was sucked into the three inches of dantian under his abdomen, and He Ping hurriedly took advantage of this moment to run this trace of heaven and earth aura according to "Mu Xing Decision".

But the aura didn't seem to obey the order, and after a few more moments, it dissipated again.

Although He Ping was a little frustrated, he gritted his teeth and continued to vomit, which was also expected by him, as the "Initial Explanation of Practice" said, cultivation is a matter of changing one's life against the sky, and if there is no difficulty, it cannot be called going against the sky.

Night and day alternate, and when it was a normal day, He Ping finally completed his first luck.

The aura of heaven and earth runs with the meridians, although there is no trace left in the end, but where it flows, it is all warm and comfortable, and the meridians have also undergone undetectable changes under the action of the aura of heaven and earth.

He Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the sky at this time, only to feel that the moonlight was gathering at the top, and there were already early villagers working outside, some of them were making steamed buns, and some were preparing poultry that had already been slaughtered, and they wanted to send them to Shaoyang Town to sell.

Looking at the desk beside him, with the oil candles that had long been burned, the scattered books, the dried ink, and the books that had not yet been copied by others, He Ping got up and put them away and walked out the door.

The bamboo forest outside the door was blown by the wind, and the smoke of Aunt Wang's house under the bamboo forest had risen, and the familiar scene in the past was particularly nostalgic at this moment.

From the moment he felt angry, he no longer had a chance to be famous for the imperial examination.

He Ping didn't know if he was wrong or right to choose this path that was inconsistent with his fate, and he didn't know where he would go in the future. Everything is confusing before your eyes.

He Ping turned around and packed his bags, put away his beloved books preciously, closed the wooden door and left.

He left without saying goodbye to anyone, only one last glance at the village where he had lived for sixteen years.
