Chapter 38: Five Hearts to Heaven

In a wing room behind the Wuwei Palace, there is a portrait of the ancestor of Boyang hanging on the wall. An incense burner was lit on the table, and green smoke was billowing from it. This cigarette originally had the effect of calming and refreshing, but at this time, Changdan Zhenren, who was sitting next to the desk, was angry and angry, staring fiercely at Jingshu standing by the door. And Jingshu turned a blind eye, her face was calm, but her eyes were full of stubbornness.

Changdan is really humane: "This kid peeked at the sect interception exercises, colluded with outsiders to let go of the prisoner, and violated my canons many times, no matter which crime he was responsible for, he could be punished with death." Now it's just expelling Chongzhen, which is already the lightest punishment, what else are you going to do?"

Jing Shu said: "He is not a disciple of Chongzhen, and he can't be counted if he looks at the sectarian exercises." The matter of collusion with the **** world is purely false, without the slightest evidence. As for repeated transgressions, it is only when there is no one to teach them. Now he has injuries on his body, and he can't survive for a few days when he is expelled from Chongzhen. This is contrary to the original meaning of Taoism, and the disciples resolutely refuse to accept it. ”

Changdan Zhenren laughed angrily and said, "I have also visited his injuries. The true qi in his body was very strange, and he was still constantly sucking in the aura around him and growing stronger. The aura on Tianmai Mountain is rich, and the sucking speed is naturally faster, with his current condition, within three years, he will inevitably die because he can't tolerate the explosion of true qi in his body. If you leave Tianmai Mountain and live in a place where your aura is barren, you may be able to live for three or five more years. ”

Speaking of that person's injury, Jing Shu was a little worried, but she knew that this was Changdan Zhenren's method of retreating, so she was not fooled, and said, "Master coaxed me." If there is no one to guide the true qi, how can you spontaneously inhale the spiritual qi?"

Changdan Zhenren was annoyed again, shook his head again, and said: "Why should I lie to you as a teacher! It's just that you and Na Mingzhe are not skilled in Taoism and can't detect it." As for why this true qi sucks spiritual energy on its own, he has never seen it in his life as a teacher. Maybe it was when we were fighting, and the mixed true qi hit him together, so this characteristic appeared, and because of this, he didn't die immediately. ”

Jing Shu gritted her teeth lightly and said, "Master, is there a way to expel this true qi?" Changdan Zhenren shook his head and did not speak. A trace of resentment flashed in Jing Shu's eyes, and said: "Ming Zhe said that as long as you find a person with pure mana, you can absorb this true qi......" Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Changdan Zhenren smiled and said: "Mingzhe is that nerd, does he really think that it is so simple to absorb others for his own use?

Jingshu paused and asked, "Then can he dissolve this true qi by himself?"

Changdan is truly humane: "It is reasonable to do, but with his age and qualifications, I am afraid that it will not be that time." ”

Suddenly, Jingshu fell to her knees with a "bang" and pleaded, "I beg Master to allow me to take him as an apprentice." ”

Changdan Zhenren was really a little surprised, stared at Jingshu for a moment, and asked, "This kid is really so important to you?" Jingshu nodded and replied, "Yes!" She raised her head and looked at Changdan Zhenren earnestly. And Changdan Zhenren's face turned a few times, and he still said: "No! Chongzhen is strict in accepting disciples, and you can't break the rules because of you." ”

Jing Shu was slightly disappointed, but not surprised. She settled down, and suddenly said firmly: "Master also knows the character of the apprentice, and if the apprentice wants to save him, he must save him to the end." Whether you allow it or not, I will teach him Taoism. As for the violation of the canons, the Master will punish him. ”

Changdan Zhenren was furious, slapped the case, pointed at Jing Shu and said, "Bastard Nizi, are you lawless?" A disciple outside the door responded to the call, "Lock Jing Shu in the Jingxin Cave in the back mountain, facing the wall for a year." The disciple was stunned for a moment, Jing Shu had already stood up and walked out, but said: "Within this year, the master must not drive him away from the mountain, otherwise the apprentice will do something out of the ordinary, and I hope the master will take care of it." ”

Changdan Zhenren was so angry that his hair was all open, but he could only look at Jingshu's back and sigh.

For a few days in a row, Yuan Zhen sent food over, which made Xiao Yi grateful. He was also given six pairs of medicinal herbs, enough for him to use for half a year. On the seventh day, Xiao Yi's body gradually recovered and he was able to move freely, so he refused Yuanzhen and went to the kitchen to eat by himself.

At this time, the chef had changed to an honest long-term worker in his forties. Xiao Yi looked at the familiar things in the kitchen, and remembered the time when the fat chef and himself were cooks, and there was a sense that things were wrong. He saw that there were obviously fewer disciples who were eating than in the past, and he felt sad again, thinking that he had gone out to practice and failed to come back. Although these little disciples have no friendship with him, thinking that their time in Chongzhen is short, the feeling of farewell still arises spontaneously.

In the following days, Xiao Yi stayed in the house to read books except for dinner in the kitchen, hoping to read more Taoist classics before leaving.

On this day, when he was reading the "Huang Ting Jing", there was something he didn't understand, so he found the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" to confirm it. As soon as I opened the scriptures, a piece of origami fell out. He was slightly surprised, opened it to see, and was surprised and delighted, and was stunned on the spot. It turned out that there was a mantra for cultivating Taoism written on the paper, and the first line of small characters read "Five Hearts to the Sky" meditation method.

Xiao Yi has basically read the scriptures left by the Changqing Taoist, especially the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", I don't know how many times he has read it, and he has never seen this piece of origami, which shows that this origami has only been put in recently.

Xiao Yi fell into deep thought, wondering who was secretly helping him. Those who have traveled abroad for more than a year should be excluded. Yuan Zhen is young and conservative, so he should not have such courage. Mingzhe's research on pathology is indeed somewhat possible. In addition, he couldn't think of anyone else for a while, but he always felt that it shouldn't be Mingzhe's doing. Suddenly, he faintly locked on a person in his heart, but he couldn't believe it. In short, he thought about it and didn't have a clue.

Looking at the origami formula, it mainly teaches people how to meditate, how to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, how to build a foundation in the dantian, and how to operate the aura for themselves. Although this is the key to cultivating Taoism, for Xiao Yi, it is like a treasure.

He knew that it was a felony to peep at Chongzhen's cultivation exercises, so he read it with candles and nights until the fifth watch, and after he had cooked the mantra on the paper and memorized it backwards, he burned the origami with an oil lamp.

After cleaning up the ashes, Xiao Yi had no intention of sleeping, so he meditated and practiced in bed according to the mantra. Everything is difficult to get started, and cultivating Taoism is no exception. However, Xiao Yi has two years of comprehension of learning Taoism, and his state of mind has become small, the most important thing is that he has had experience in controlling the operation of true qi, and has been taught by Mingzhe the gist of "Five Hearts to Heaven".

After an hour, Xiao Yi could already feel the aura slowly flowing into his body along the palms of his hands and feet. In another hour, the aura gathers more and more, through the meridians of the hands, feet, lungs, and intestines, after running for a week, it condenses into the essence of true qi, and slowly falls towards the dantian.
