Chapter 37: Two Approaches

Mingzhe said: "Yes, why are you still alive." Then, he said to himself: "Those who cultivate the truth and practice the Tao know that people have upper, middle and lower three dantians, the upper dantian is also known as the "mud pill palace", which accepts the gods; the middle dantian is in the middle of the body, gathering qi; the lower dantian is in the Guan Yuan acupoint, hiding the essence. Cultivating truth is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, remove its dross, refine it into energy, and collect it in the lower dantian. As mentioned in the "Huangting Exterior Scene Sutra", this is the meaning of breathing into the dantian. The dantian here generally refers to the lower dantian. ”

Hearing that Mingzhe was slow to get into the topic, and actually talked about common sense endlessly, Yuan Zhen couldn't help but stick out his tongue at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yixin said: "No wonder the first note this kid gave me was basic common sense, I learned it from here." But he listened very carefully. In the past, he just read books alone, relying on self-study, and today he is fortunate to be explained by others, so he naturally cherishes this opportunity.

Ming Zhe only told all the knowledge about the dantian once, and then said: "Therefore, the dantian is the first practice point for those who cultivate the true Tao. But when I look at your body, I haven't practiced dantian, that is, these true qi are not yours. It was the first time that a person without the slightest Dao power could withstand such a huge amount of foreign true qi and not die. Then the second question arises, since the true qi is not yours, then where does the true qi come from. He paused before saying, "As far as I know, except for Confucianism, among the nine major sects, the aura enters from the five hearts, and after running for a week, it enters the dantian. These five hearts refer to the palms of the palms, the hearts of the two feet, and the hearts of the head. ”

Then Mingzhe talked about the "five hearts" again, Yuanzhen listened to it drowsy, but Xiao Yi listened to it with relish, but he was afraid that he would talk less, and finally asked, "What is the five hearts to the sky". It is estimated that it is rare for Mingzhe to meet such a studious disciple on weekdays, and he is very excited to speak, so he gives a detailed explanation, and by the way, he also reveals a lot of the gist of meditation with the five hearts to the sky.

Since ancient times, the nine major sects have respected themselves as authentic, fighting openly and secretly, always wanting to overwhelm the heroes and dominate Kyushu. Therefore, everyone in the world attaches great importance to the difference between sects, and the sects have a deep view. Nowadays, each faction has already clearly stipulated that their own Dharma will never be passed on to the outside world if they are not my disciples. Although this method of meditation with the "five hearts to the sky" is not much secret, it also involves the introduction of Taoism. The rise of Mingzhe said, I didn't care. In fact, he didn't know that it was this inadvertent revelation that opened the door to real cultivation for Xiao Yi.

Mingzhe continued: "I see that your five hearts are not open, the veins are closed, and there is no trace of being forcibly injected by someone. This true qi is not something that you inadvertently absorb from the outside world, nor is it injected from outside, so how exactly does the true qi enter your body is incredible. As he spoke, his brow furrowed deeply.

Xiao Yi was afraid that he would fall into deep thought, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the third point?" and pulled him out in time. Mingzhe thought for a while and said, "This third point is also the most incredible. The aura of heaven and earth is everywhere, but there are also grades. The Chongzhen Sect is located in Tianmai Mountain, naturally because the aura here is richer and purer than that in other places. The transformation of spiritual energy into true qi for one's own use needs to be refined. The purer the aura, the less time it takes to refine it, and the faster the speed of cultivation. To put it simply, cultivating the true Tao is the process of constantly absorbing spiritual energy and constantly purifying it. The higher the Dao Xing, the faster the spiritual energy is absorbed, and the purer the true qi will be. When the true qi in the body is pure and free of impurities, just like the primordial spirit of heaven and earth, you can ascend to the Tao. Speaking of which, not only Xiao Yi and Yuan Zhen were fascinated by what they heard, but even he himself was moved.

After a moment of silence, the three of them woke up from their longing one after another. Ming Zhe also understood that he was off topic, his face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "The level of a person's Dao Law can be judged from the purity of true qi. There are countless people who are poor, and they often check people's true qi to identify pathologies. There was even a time when he gave a senior who had entered the Chengdan period to check the pulse. However, in my memory, even that senior, his true qi is far from reaching the purity of the true qi in your body. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Zhen's mouth was already wide open, and she looked at Xiao Yi in surprise. Although Xiao Yi had heard of several stages of Taoist cultivation, he had no concept of the Chengdan period, so he was not too surprised, but smiled bitterly: "In this way, this true qi is still something that others can't get after years of hard practice. But when it came to me, it became a problem. Then he asked, "Dare to ask if there is a way to get rid of real people?"

Ming Zhe said: "Of course there is a way, but ......" Xiao Yi heard that there was still a way, and he was overjoyed, and said: "But what, it doesn't hurt to say it to a real person." Mingzhe hesitated: "There are two ways, but both are a little difficult." Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Is there any difficulty that can stump the Taoist immortals?"

Ming Zhe waved his hand to signal Xiao Yi not to talk nonsense, and said, "This first method is to find a person with pure mana and suck the true qi in your body into his body for refining. Xiao Yixin said: "There are countless masters in the Chongzhen Sect, and it is not difficult to find a person with pure mana." As if knowing what Xiao Yi was thinking, Mingzhe said again: "This difficulty is, where to find this person with pure mana." According to the speculation of the poor Dao, in today's Chongzhen Sect, only the Changyang Zhangjiao and the three real people of Changheng, Changdan, and Changjing have this ability. According to common sense, it is not difficult to let a few real people save people. However, first, absorbing the mana of others for your own use has always been despised by Chongzhen, and secondly, the mana in your body is too fierce, even if you are a few real people, if you are not careful, you may not be able to suppress it and go mad. Besides, the little brother is still a newcomer, so this, this ......"

Xiao Yi knew it in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This kid understands that real people don't have to be taboo. Let's talk about the second option. ”

Mingzhe said: "The second method is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. That is, you cultivate on your own, and when your mana can control or absorb these true qi, the problem will naturally be solved. ”

When Xiao Yi heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly, now there is no one to recommend him to get started, let alone how long it will take to cultivate to the point of a few real people. At this time, I heard Yuanzhen ask: "Master, the last time I competed with others, I was injured internally, wouldn't it be good if you worked hard to force it out." Why don't you ask the real person to help him force him out?"

Mingzhe shook his head and said: "Although the truth is the same, it cannot be the same. When the two forces collide, there will be a fierce fight. You didn't have serious internal injuries at that time, and you didn't hurt your meridians. And this little brother has reached the point of a thousand shots, and there must be no more conflicts, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

After Xiao Yi thoroughly understood his situation, he suddenly felt that the future was bleak. Even if he has a free and easy temperament, and no matter how many Taoist scriptures he has practiced, when he suddenly feels that life is hopeless, he still can't face it calmly. He smiled slightly wryly and did not speak again. At this time, that strange true qi seemed to sense his decadent psychology, and took advantage of the momentum to attack, jumping up and down in his body, acting recklessly, instantly making him breathless and his chest tight.

Mingzhe noticed that Xiao Yi was abnormal, and hurriedly took a step forward, pointing to luck, and tapped a few times on his chest. Xiao Yili felt that the feeling of chest tightness was reduced a lot, relieved his breath, and hurriedly thanked him. Mingzhe said: Sick people are most jealous and discouraged, they don't want to live, and the king of heaven can't save them. If you want to live, God has to give in three points. Although the poor road cannot cure you of stubborn diseases, it is not difficult to trap this true qi in the middle dantian and prolong your life with medicine. ”

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, and said in his heart: "The avenue is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and there is still a glimmer of life left." Why am I so cowardly?" hurriedly thanked Ming Zhe: "What the real person teaches is that the kid is taught. ”

Seeing that his complexion had improved, Ming Zhe nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right." I've made a recipe for you, and from today onwards, you can drink one dish a week to protect you from the strange true qi. However, avoid mood swings, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and it is better for him to save than to save himself. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, as if he had an understanding. When Mingzhe took Yuanzhen out, Xiao Yi suddenly asked: "Does a real person know what Chongzhen will do with the kid?" Mingzhe shook his head and said: "I don't know the poor way." Everything goes naturally, just wait quietly. Xiao Yi asked again: "Why is the real person so concerned about the boy's affairs, who is entrusted by him?" Ming Zhe smiled: "Poor Dao came to study pathology, and no one entrusted him. With that, he hurried away.

On the second day, Xiao Yi felt a lot lighter and could barely move on the ground. After walking around the wall twice, I felt impetuous, tired, so I had to sit on a chair to rest, and pick up the "Qingjing Sutra" to read. Who knows, after a little reading, the discomfort in his chest immediately disappeared, which surprised him.

At this time, he vaguely remembered the situation in the prison cell, and he relied on the know-how of the "Qingjing Sutra" to survive the disaster. He closed his eyes for a long time, and gradually recalled the method of guiding the promising at that time. The so-called qi moves at will, and when he revisits his perception, the strange true qi in his body actually breaks through the suppression, and gradually operates, pushing through the acupoints, and flowing freely. He only felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he inadvertently raised his hand and waved, only to hear a click, and hurriedly opened his eyes to see that a piece of the table had been knocked on the table.

He couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately lost control of the strange true qi. The real anger jumped wildly, and he grinned in pain, sweating like rain, and it took nearly an hour to calm down. After this incident, although he knew that this true qi could be used for his own use, he did not dare to try again. I just thought that one day, I would really be able to learn the supreme Taoist technique of Chongzhen and truly turn this true qi into my own use.
