Chapter 22 The Law of the Ancestors, Take the Fire and Tie the Rope

"Ji Xiaoyou has heard the name of 籛 (jian)?"

Peng Zu was slightly stunned, he didn't leave much well-known merit in the world, compared to their Zhou ancestor Ji Qi, his reputation was much worse.

Ji Kao's heart turned: "The ancestor Houji once talked about Mr., and among the Ji family, there are remnants left. It is said that Mr. was the same as the ancestor and was the minister of Yao Shun's time. ”

"That's right, in the rebellion of heaven and man, I ran around the world with Ji Qi, that is, your ancestor Houji. Peng Zu sighed leisurely: "It's just a pity, he didn't have the opportunity to step into the realm of cultivation and qi refining." ”

Thinking of the past, Peng Zu shook his head and continued: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your cultivation." ”

"Actually, your cultivation, although you have just felt the Xuan Qi refinement, walking, sitting, lying down, and every move you make is already in the process of cultivation. Even those Qi Refiners who have been in the dark for a long time are afraid that they can't compare to you. ”

Peng Zu looked at Ji Kao and couldn't help but sigh: "What you lack is just the method of cultivating qi refining in the world where the effect of refining qi is better." ”

"However, this method, I thought about it a lot, but I didn't feel that I needed to give it to you. With your talents, you can completely open up your own qi refining method that suits you. ”

"The ancient law, although it is slower, is the source of all laws. When you cultivate the ancient method, it is like standing directly at the source of the way of qi refining created by the ancestors. With this as the source, and then based on your knowledge, it is not impossible to create another one in the refining of qi. ”

Ji Kao was even a little embarrassed when he heard Peng Zu say this, this elder who had lived for hundreds of years, praised people, it was beyond his expectations.

However, Ji Kao just said softly: "What Mr. said is true, but I heard people say that only Boguan can make an appointment, and thick accumulation can be thin." There is no accumulation, lack of foundation, and I don't even know what it is to refine qi now. It is a great luck to step into the door of qi refining and get an ancient method. As for what Mr. said, why don't you want to take the test, but now you are short-sighted, like a castle in the air, water without a source, and wood without roots, how can you talk about creating your own method of refining qi?"

Finally, there are masters who are willing to guide the practice, Ji Kao doesn't want to, just be praised for a few words, and the promised method of practicing in the world can't be gone.

"You are also right, the ancient ancestors, although they all looked at the sky and bowed down to the earth, they were able to open up the path of cultivation step by step. However, since the predecessors already have a foundation, when our descendants go again, we can more or less learn from the path of our predecessors. ”

"Come, I still have several ancient qi refining methods here, and I will tell you one of them. ”

When Ji Kao heard this, he immediately became interested. Although it was not the law of the world he hoped for, it was enough for him to increase his knowledge.

"This first method is one of the foundations of all my humanistic practices, whether it is the way of refining qi, the way of totem, or the way of witch wishes, they are all inseparable from this method. ”

"What method?" Ji Kao was extremely curious.

Peng Zu chuckled and said, "Naturally, it is the method of drilling wood. ”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed into the void casually, and suddenly on the south bank of the river, a big tree fell to the ground.

Then, in front of Ji Kao's eyes, there were more trunks and branches, with some fresh green leaves on them.

"Is the method of drilling wood the meaning of Suihuang drilling wood to make fire?"

"That's right, it's the Suihuang Emperor's fire. At the beginning of the ancient times, people sucked dew essence, ate herbs and woods, ate birds and beasts in mountain dwellings, clothed their feathers, and ate fish, turtles, mussels and clams near the water, and were not cremated, and there were many fishy faces, which harmed the stomach and intestines. So there was a saint who came out, and made a fire to drill a flint out of the fire, taught people to cook food, and cast gold as a blade, and the people were very happy, and they were called the sun and the flint. ”

Peng Zu said: "Drilling wood for fire is the beginning of humane civilization, and it is one of the most important steps for our human race to get out of the beasts. ”

As he spoke, he broke a twig with a slightly pointed head from the branch, took a piece of the trunk, held the twig with both hands, and thrust it into the trunk.

Then, with his palms facing each other, he kept rubbing the twigs, and his eyes looked at the places where the branches met, and he was very engrossed.

Ji Kao watched Peng Zu's movements, and there was nothing unusual, just like the method of drilling wood that he knew. The action is the same, but the materials are very different.

The drill wood that Ji Kao knew used dead branches and leaves, not just picked branches and trunks, unlike Peng Zu, who used freshly picked branches and trunks.

Peng Zu's speed of drilling wood is getting faster and faster, and ordinary people's eyes can't even see it, and soon, where the branches meet, green smoke begins to rise.

Peng Zu's eyes stared at this place where the green smoke rose, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, motionless.

Disheveled!

A faint flame rose from the branches, and then burned bigger and bigger, and at this moment, Ji Kao could feel that the qi of heaven and earth spirit yang was entering and exiting Peng Zu's body.

"This kind of method, in the early stage, is to cultivate the aura of heaven and earth, without breathing, only at the moment of fire, the aura and oneself sympathetic, between entering and exiting, the gate of heaven opens, and the whole body senses. ”

After Peng Zu finished speaking, he passed on the method of nurturing the spirit that matched the drill wood to Ji Kao's mind.

When Ji Kao received this method, he immediately closed his eyes and thought about it, feeling the wonderful meaning.

This method was indeed passed down from ancient times, and it was even more crude than what Ji Kao had obtained before, and it didn't take much time for him to understand the meaning.

Soon after, Ji Kao opened his eyes and thanked Peng Zu.

"No thanks, you can try. ”

After saying that, he pointed to a pile of branches next to him and asked Ji Kao to try.

Ji Kao followed Peng Zu's actions just now, took the branches, sat cross-legged, and began to drill wood.

In this way, the focus is on the fire, not on the cultivation of aura, at the beginning, Ji Kao did not drill wood fast, just to get used to the changes.

It's not fast, and of course it can't make this branch burn. But he was not in a hurry, so he tried step by step and slowly.

Peng Zu saw that Ji Kao was thinking about himself, nodded slightly, and stopped looking at him.

He turned his head and looked at Jiang Lan on the side.

At this time, Jiang Lan had already memorized all the methods that Peng Zu had passed down to her, and was watching Ji Kao slowly drill wood to make fire.

"Ji Kao is different from you, but it is the same. You are already in the realm of the Cave Truth, and you need to try all kinds of qi cultivation methods, and he is just beginning to feel the mystery, and he has just embarked on the path of qi refining, so it is best to follow his own path from the beginning. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lan nodded, signaling that she understood. Then she began to ask Peng Zu some questions about the Truth Derived Qi. After all, she had never tried all kinds of qi cultivation methods by herself, and there were still many levels that needed to be figured out.

Peng Zu came to the side and began to point out Jiang Lan. As for Ji Kao, let him try it slowly on the side.

Disheveled!

They hadn't been talking long before a fire rose nearby. The qi of heaven and earth and spiritual yang intersected in Ji Kao's body, traveled all over his body, and then sank into the sea of dantian qi.

Is it so fast?

Peng Zu was slightly surprised, and glanced at Ji Kao, this speed was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, Ji Kao didn't mean to stop at all, he carefully sensed the subtlety of this method of refining qi, and then continued to take a small branch, re-cultivated the qi machine, and began to rub the fire.

Seeing this, Peng Zu smiled slightly, didn't say much, and continued to talk to Jiang Lan in detail about how to try to practice the various changes in internal qi by himself.

Jiang Lan's qualifications and comprehension are naturally excellent, many things, as long as he says a little, Jiang Lan can understand the deep meaning. Let him speak very freely, if the other party already has Rong Chenggong's token, he would have to think about accepting apprentices.

As they spoke, a fire rose from time to time next to Ji Kao, piercing the night sky.

When there was a slight light in the sky, Peng Zu asked Jiang Lan to try it by himself, and he came to Ji Kao's side again.

"Ji Xiaoyou, you have become proficient in the method of drilling wood, and you can try again slowly if you have a chance in the future. Now, I'll give you the second ancient method. ”

When Ji Kao heard this, he raised his head and asked, "What method?"

Peng Zu stretched out his hand again and grabbed it into the void, and suddenly in front of them, a pile of bark and withered grass appeared, which was chaotic and numerous.

"The second method is the method of knotting the rope. ”

"Knotting the rope, is it the method of rubbing the grass rope?"

"Yes, in ancient times, in order to fight with fierce beasts, there were ancestors who made ropes. Later, there were saints who knotted ropes and ruled, and things were big and small. Like making fire, knotting rope is the source of the initial practice. ”

After speaking, Peng Zu took some furs and began to rub them slowly, and said while rubbing them back: "The method of knotting the rope is different from the method of making fire, this method requires you to continue to breathe and guide the aura of heaven and earth from the beginning of rubbing the rope. ”

"Once there is a change in the qi, tie a small knot in the rope and think about the reason for the change. After figuring it out, I continued to rub the rope. Whenever you want to stop doing this, you tie a big knot and start again next time. ”

After finishing speaking, Peng Zu passed on the method of knotting rope to Ji Kao and asked him to try it himself.

Then, when he saw that Ji Kao had already entered the doorway, he went to point out Jiang Lan again.

In this way, he took turns to instruct the two of them to lay a solid foundation for their future qi refining, and he didn't drink wine, nor did he let the two of them sleep and rest, from morning to night, he barely stopped.

It was on this building ship that Ji Kao began to learn all kinds of more primitive qi refining, or cultivation methods.

Fire, knotting ropes, making pottery, grinding stones, etc., among the means that the ancient ancestors relied on to survive, they were all created by people to refine qi, although it is superficial, but it is full of the path of cultivation, how to create it step by step.

And the method of sitting, lying and walking that Ji Kao had refined before was announcing to future generations how bad the living environment of the human race was at that time. Even when you are practicing, you must always be on guard against external enemies.

"Okay, it's time to talk about it like you've talked about it. Tomorrow, the ship will arrive in the Fang Kingdom of the Yu Clan, and after that, I will not take care of you anymore. And, there will be others, along with us, ditto. ”

As soon as Peng Zu's words came out, Ji Kao and Jiang Lan were shocked at the same time.
