Chapter Forty-Seven: The Cave Dwelling is Confused
The autumn breeze is faint, the light and shadow are hurried, the moon rises and the sun sets, and the rain and fog come. The days in the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info cave are monotonous and boring, not only are they not poetic and leisurely, but even their freedom is limited to more than a dozen zhang. Could it be that all the hermits in heaven and earth have lived like this for the rest of their lives, and in the rest of their lives, they have realized the truth that ordinary people cannot understand? However, no matter how difficult the days are, we always have to go on, and no matter how hard the heart is, we must continue to hope. Although Li Xuan felt depressed, he could only comfort himself like this.
He made up his mind to treat time as a pot of old soup, boiling it slowly, boiling it into a habit, boiling it into a kind of light breeze.
Li Xuan had never felt like he had so much lonely time like he did now.
Lonely and boring, but he must not let himself be really bored. Despite the lack of water and food, he could only survive on a few small pieces of python meat every day, but he was still in awe of his spirits, and in addition to sleeping, he adhered to what he had never thought was the most boring method of meditation, spitting, and gathering qi with unprecedented enthusiasm.
Loneliness is the killer of time and the waste of life. How do you turn loneliness around, how do you turn loneliness into fulfillment and happiness? Then do everything you can to keep yourself busy. Busyness, as tiring as it is, can make people forget their troubles, forget their sorrows, and forget everything they shouldn't think about. So, loneliness, as terrible as it may seem, is nothing more than a paper tiger, which can be burned away by a little flame of passion, and thrown away without a trace by a little busyness.
Li Xuan was busy, and he was diligent in his cultivation all the time.
Whenever he finished exhaling and felt that the inner breath of the dantian had accumulated another layer, he was excited, and even looked forward to the accumulation of another layer of internal breath. As his inner breath continued to build, he could feel his sparkling spirit radiating from the inside out. After vomiting again on this day, while his body and mind were refreshed, Li Xuan inadvertently looked at the carved lines on the cave wall and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that when he entered the cave, he was worried that he would lose track of time, so every sunset he would carve a vertical line on the stone wall of the cave, so that it would be a day in the past. He was astonished because more than two dozen vertical lines of varying lengths had been drawn on the cave walls. According to this calculation, I am about to spend more than a month in the cave...... In the rest of the month, I was not starved to death, I was not tortured to death by repeated attacks of cold and heat, and I did not die of loneliness?
What surprised him even more was that the python that he had eaten most of its body was as fresh as ever, and it did not rot and deteriorate at all because of the ever-changing climate of the valley, uneven humidity, heat and cold. Since you don't die, you have to live strongly.
Li Xuan remembered that Long Hongye had entered the cave for three years and completed the chapter of Qi Cultivation and Gathering, so that he could come and go freely between the cliff top and the cave. Now that he was resting in his heart, he could come and go from the cliff to and from cliff to cliff as freely as she did! This thought made him excited, and despite his hesitation, he decided to take the risk at the crack at the mouth of the cliff.
These days, in order to dissolve the so-called cold poison in his body, he has never slackened in the slightest, and he has not cared about getting a breath from the hole. When he came to the mouth of the cliff and looked out, he saw that the sky on the top of the cliff was high in autumn, blue as the sea, and the wind and clouds flowed between the mountains and cliffs, like a dream, and the bright but cool sun illuminated the world and the world...... Take a deep breath and feel good. After a little hesitation, he slowly lifted the qi of the dantian, injected it into the eight veins of the Qi Jing, let out a long roar, jumped up from the crack, opened his five fingers, climbed the cliff, and sucked on the cliff with the power of the gecko swimming in the wall, and his limbs continued to alternate, climbing in the direction of the top of the cliff.
The straight cliff wall has been soaked by clouds, rain and mist for thousands of years, and it is slippery and does not leave a hand.
Li Xuankan crawled up for seven or eight zhang, then felt that his limbs were weak, his dantian breath was sluggish, and he barely crawled for more than a zhang, and suddenly felt that the dantian was empty, and he couldn't change it in one breath, and it had become extremely difficult to go up another foot, and his heart couldn't help but be depressed, knowing that if he reluctantly went up, he would eventually fall off the cliff, so he had to slowly retreat. I couldn't climb to the top of the cliff, and my originally sunny mood became gloomy. It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and if you want to return safely from the cliff, it is more dangerous than when you go up.
Li Xuan secretly gritted his teeth, tried his best, and spent most of the day returning to the cave.
After this toss, he has understood that his right talent can be described as extremely naïve. Just imagine, the dragon red leaves into the cave before the kung fu has been very good, but still in the cave for three years of hard work to achieve the cliff to go freely, now I have only practiced for more than 20 days, I want to use this skill to cultivate for climbing the wall and leaving the cave, isn't it a fool's delusion, a fool's dream!
If you want to get out of this cave, you won't be able to do it for three or five years or more.
Li Xuan sighed, the joy of the previous internal drumming was gone, and when he saw the giant python on the cave wall that had been eaten by himself, he felt a little sorry in his heart, smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "I have wronged you brother python! If you hadn't been cruel to me before, how would I have killed you! Sooner or later, one day, I will also be in a desperate situation of being helpless, without water and food...... Now it's up to you to eat your flesh...... Alas...... If I really want to practice in the cave for three or five years, I'm afraid that just starvation will kill me, so how can I get out...... "The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, he sat alone for a while, and his mood gradually calmed down a little. Thinking that it is no longer possible to get out of the predicament, it is better to try to be optimistic. Thinking like this, my mood really calmed down. He muttered to himself, "Life and death, one day and three years, it seems to be the same." Since it is unpredictable to the left and right, it is better to live a long life, not to live long, than to be happy, even if you die, you will be happy. ”
He pursed his chapped lips, remembering that he hadn't touched the Red Ice Fruit for dozens of days because he was afraid of its cold poison. Now that I can't leave, it's better to chew on it happily, and even if I die, I will end up dripping with joy.
With his mind set up, Li Xuan went to the crack in the cliff to pick more than a dozen red ice fruits and came back, first started to clean the cave, and then neatly stacked the scattered scrolls, packed them up, and then sat down cross-legged on the stone bed, humming the nursery rhyme he learned to sing with his mother when he was young, and swallowed the red ice fruits in his stomach. The wind crossed the cliffs, and the clouds and rain rose again. Li Xuan was kneeling cross-legged on the stone bed, munching on the red ice fruit while thinking about his time in the cave. These days, when he is practicing internal strength, he often thinks of Duan Xiaotian who fell into the cliff, and sometimes he will imagine that he has practiced invincible divine skills, and defeated Zhuge Dongfang, Yuan Si Girl, Lin Dongtu, fake fat turtle Bao Lin and others with one palm. As for Ah Ying, Shen Wuxing, and Yao Zikong, they often appear in his thoughts, but the strange thing is that every time he thinks that the little girl he saved when he was young is actually A Ying with a handsome face when she grows up, her heart is not excited, but warm.
Receiving the grace of dripping water needs to be reciprocated by a spring. If you are abused by others, you don't have to fight back against them. Life is only 36,500 days, except for eating, sleeping, and being dazed, there are many things to really do, if you only remember the bad of others and forget the good of others, then you will always live in anger, restlessness, and endless grief and indignation. And if you remember the good of others and find the good of others, then the beauty of the world will be as bright as the sun.
Early in the morning, it was the thirtieth day of Li Xuan's entry into the cave. After he chewed a meal of red ice fruit, he gradually felt tiredness hit his heart, and unconsciously leaned against the cave wall and fell asleep. In the haze, he dreamed that his deceased mother was still as beautiful as she had been when she was alive, and her face was still extremely pale...... The mother reclined on the head of the bed hung with a double gauze tent, her eyes were colorless, her thin body was delicate and weak, her eyes looked at him without blinking, and her eyes made it impossible to guess whether it was cold or warm, love or indifference. Well, Li Xuan knows that his mother is frail and sickly, and she has a deep mind and does not smile all year round. When he saw his mother looking at him, he thought that her old angina had recurred, and he was thinking about decocting medicine for her in the kitchen, but he saw his mother shaking her head and muttering to herself, as if she was talking to the sky, like talking to herself in the mirror, and more like an old man recalling something. Li Xuan looked at her mother in a daze, feeling that she seemed to be full of worries, not vomiting or unhappy, and like a demented person who had nothing to do in her heart, just passing the time in her own world. He was so engrossed that he forgot to decoction the medicine, but he saw his mother beckoning to him and showing a rare smile. He didn't understand what his mother was calling him, so he came to the bed, but as soon as he approached, his mother's face changed abruptly, and she looked at him fiercely, poking his forehead with her pale and thin arm, and screaming and scolding...... He was overwhelmed and stood still. The more his mother scolded, the more fierce he became, and the last slap hit him in the abdomen. Pain, panic, and anxiety filled the world in an instant, and he felt a chill hit his whole body......
Li Xuan struggled and screamed, only to find that it was just a dream of Nan Ke when he woke up.
He let out a long breath, wiped away the cold sweat on his head, and was about to get up, but he felt that the dantian was cold and painful, and he fell to the ground. Is it true that the cold and severe pain that occurred in the abdomen in the dream? Could it be that the cold poison accumulated after chewing the red ice fruit earlier has attacked!
Things are starting to get worse!
He knew that there would be a scorching heat wave in the dantian after the cold and severe pain, so he endured the severe pain, abandoned all distracting thoughts, sat cross-legged, looked at the nose and nose, and practiced according to the previous mental method. Maybe he ate too many red ice fruits this time, and after Li Xuan practiced for four or five hours, the chill in the dantian slowly disappeared. The cold poison and pain are gone, and the two veins of Ren and Du are still blocked, but fortunately, there is a warm and harmonious feeling in the dantian that slowly rises. He took a long breath and was secretly rejoicing, but he didn't expect a scorching aura to hit the dantian. These scorching inner breaths are extremely hot, and they are surging and tumbling like a Baotu spring.
What is the current situation?
Li Xuan was secretly surprised, and pondered: "The chill in the dantian is caused by the red ice fruit, where does this scorching breath come from...... Strange, it seems that after eating too many red ice fruits this time, the cold in the dantian is very strong, although it has been expelled, but it has gone to the other extreme...... If this continues, although my internal breath is thicker than before, but before I have not reached the state of 'Yin and Yang combined, endless', do I have to learn from Long Hongye to use my body to reconcile yin and yang poisons to enhance the misguided path of internal breath......" When I closed my eyes and thought for a while, I said in my heart: "The giant python has always liked to eat the purple dark flower, the purple dark flower is the first flower poison in the world, and the giant python will inevitably have the same toxicity after a long eclipse. Practicing internal breath according to this method, alas, is it not like a ball hitting a wall, the harder you throw the ball, the greater the force of the rebound...... Although this method is beneficial to increasing the internal breath of the dantian, it is undoubtedly like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, quenching your troubles for a while, and sooner or later you will still suffer from it...... Alas...... This is the truth...... Is that the truth? I understood before, but now I'm confused!"
In fact, what Li Xuan thinks has deviated.
After he ate a few red ice fruits, it was true that the dantian was infested by its cold poison, but the enhancement of internal breath was not caused by the yin and yang of the red ice fruit and the giant python meat. With the precious essence contained in the giant python's flesh, not to mention the cold poison of a few red ice fruits, even hundreds and thousands may not be able to overcome each other. You must know that after he vomited, the reason why the cold poison of the red ice fruit disappeared without a trace was that it was dissolved by the unique essence of the cockscomb python's essence blood. In terms of resolution, it is completely different from yin and yang. Dissolution is the complete disappearance of one party after it overcomes the other. However, they are equal to each other, and finally disappear at the same time. According to the previous dissolution, the giant python essence blood had already gained the upper hand in his body, and it produced a huge amount of energy when it dissolved the cold poison of the red ice fruit. Therefore, the more Red Ice Fruit Li Xuan eats, the more his internal interest will increase. Li Xuan didn't understand the reasoning, but he could feel that the scorching aura in the dantian was grand and broad, without the slightest evil spirit...... He stood in the cave, not knowing how to guide the continuous surging heat, under the drumming of the dantian, he was irritable, paced back and forth for a few steps and then said to himself: "Although this heat can make my dantian accumulate a lot of breath, I am afraid it will also lead me astray...... How can I practice inner breath according to the evil method like the dragon red leaves...... No, I'd rather die...... I don't want ...... I don't practice anymore...... I'm tortured to death by it!"
Self-abandonment is the most helpless performance, and self-abandonment is disappointment in the hope in the heart. Disappointment comes, what about hope?
Hope is sometimes like the sun, bright and lovely, and warm to the heart, and hope is sometimes like a rainbow after a rain, although beautiful, but only momentary wonderful. When you want to get a sun, you should start with the accumulation of a trace of sunshine, and when you want to see a rainbow, you should have the pain of enduring the rainstorm. But people in the world are always too stupid, and they always like to set their hopes high, and when they can't get it, they will complain and get angry. Have you ever thought that hope will take time after all?
Li Xuan sighed, gave up on himself, and went berserk, kicking all the things in the cave into a mess. was kicking hard, but I heard a muffled sound of 'dong', and it turned out that the stone nest incense burner that had been kicked away happened to smash on the stone wall pierced by the Devil May Cry sword.
