Chapter 12: Descending the Mountain
Yuanqi, as the name suggests, is primordial qi, and its essence is qi.
There are clouds in the Book of Changes: Heaven and earth are dense, and all things are alcoholic.
That is, all things are transformed by "qi".
This "qi" refers to the earliest chaotic primordial qi, which is the basic element that constitutes all things.
Thus.
Qi can be described as the origin of all things in the world.
The so-called Yuan Qi period is the stage of cultivation and feeling of the innate vitality of the cultivator, which is divided into nine layers:
A layer of sensitivity, that is, the perception of the innate vitality in the body. There is a saying that "tranquility and nothingness, vitality comes from it".
The second layer of qi nourishment, that is, the qi that is felt. There is a saying of "accumulating essence and cultivating yuan".
The three-layer transfer of qi, that is, the transfer of the nourished qi. As the old saying goes: flowing water does not rot, the hub does not rot, and it moves.
The four layers of qi gathering, that is, gathering the qi of luck. There is a saying that "gathering less becomes more, and gas is a dantian".
Five-layer ventilation, that is, the gathered qi opens up the veins of the whole body. There is a saying that "a hundred pulses are smooth".
The six-layer qi refining is the qi gathered by refining. There is a saying that "a hundred refinements become a gang".
The seven-layer Gang Qi, that is, the Gang Qi is retracted and released freely, forming a strong Qi outside the body. I can hit things in the air.
The eight-layer qi, that is, the gang qi has reached the point of being superb, rigid and soft.
The nine-layer return to the element, that is, to practice qi into the marrow, eliminate most of the impurities in the body, and carry out a comprehensive cleansing of the veins around the body, so that the physique becomes more pure.
After mastering the steps and methods of cultivation, Bai Xiaojian was in a good mood, but he was not in a hurry to cultivate.
At this moment, this barren mountain and wild mountains, eating, drinking, living and traveling have not yet been solved, so Bai Xiaojian decided to go down the mountain immediately later, purchase some things needed for life, and see if he can recruit a few disciples to go up the mountain to practice, if it is a female disciple, it is better, otherwise living alone in this barren mountain and wild mountains, Bai Xiaojian is really not very adaptable.
After incorporating this Qi refining method into the small Sumeru bag, Bai Xiaojian picked up the last booklet, and the cover of this booklet was copied with the words "Evil Sword Spectrum", and the spirit was condensed on it, and there was a large piece of information, which immediately poured into his mind like a tide.
In an instant, Bai Xiaojian already knew all the contents of this booklet.
This is an ancient swordsmanship, which is mainly smooth and atmospheric.
However, if you want to use these swordsmanship, you have to enter the Yuan Qi Period, and even the most basic first move, "Flying Birds into the Forest", must enter the Yuan Qi Stage one layer before you can use it.
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Xiaojian put away the evil sword spectrum.
The moment he walked out of the sect hall, a faint transparent ripple suddenly emanated from outside his body.
Come to think of it, this should be a layer of transparent enchantment laid in the air by the Great Array of Guardians, which can prevent outsiders from entering.
Fortunately, there is a narrow and rugged road down this mountain, and Bai Xiaojian holds the sword of evil in his hand to eradicate the weeds and obstacles that lie across this rugged road.
When he walked down the mountain, Bai Xiaojian looked up and found that this peak was in the middle of the mountains, which seemed to be nothing unusual.
Not far away, an ancient road of sheep intestines presented, worshiping the small sword holding the sword and stopping to watch, for a while, I didn't know where to go, and there was a feeling of "drawing the sword and looking around at a loss" in my heart.
Just as he was in a trance, a figure appeared in the distance.
When this person approached, Bai Xiaojian found that this was a young man wearing a square scarf and carrying a wooden bookcase.
This young man has red lips and white teeth, and his whole person is surrounded by a faint scholarly atmosphere, which looks a little weak and delicate.
Bai Xiaojian stood on the side of the road with a sharp sword in his hand, his eyes were blazing, so that after the young man saw it, he was so frightened that he immediately stopped, turned around and ran back.
"Stop!" Bai Xiaojian roared, and finally saw a big living person in this barren mountain and wilderness, how could he let Xiao Jian go.
The young man with the wooden bookcase on his back was willing to stop, thinking that he had encountered a robber who had robbed him of money and killed him, but he was carrying a heavy wooden bookcase behind him, and he couldn't run fast, and in a few breaths, he was chased by Bai Xiaojian.
Bai Xiaojian dodged and intercepted in front of the young man, just as he was about to speak......
The young man actually pouted, knelt on the ground, presented a money bag with both hands, bowed his head and said: "The villain is just a poor scholar, both old and young, and ask the hero to accept the money bag and put it on the next life path, and never report to the official after the next thing." ”
Bai Xiaojian glanced at the shriveled money bag in the young man's hand, and from the gap in the pocket, it was a copper plate, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of laughter, and he secretly said in his heart: "Poorer than me, I don't even bother to pick it up if I give it to me, and my merit value is now minus five points, so I should do more good deeds first." ”
"Get up and talk, I'm not a robber, I'm just looking for you for directions. Bai Xiaojian's tone was calm, and after inserting the evil sword into the scabbard, he helped the young man up from the ground with both hands.
After some conversation, Bai Xiaojian learned that the young man in front of him was named Ning Cheng, a scholar in Shu Guofu County, seventeen years old this year, although he was full of economy, but now Shu is in turmoil, thieves are everywhere, and demons are exhausted.
After thinking about it, Bai Xiaojian decided to go on the road with Ning Cheng and go to Fu County to purchase supplies for daily life.
Ning Cheng saw that Bai Xiaojian was carrying a sword, and his bearing was very abnormal, and he secretly went with him, and he would definitely be safer on the way home, so he was happy.
The two of them walked along the ancient road, and soon after, a ruined pavilion stood thousands of kilometers in front of the ancient road.
Ning Cheng's face tightened, and he said in fear: "We have to bypass this long pavilion and take a path through the nearby mountains and forests, because in the long pavilion in front, there is a group of bullies who have been squatting there for many years, and all passers-by who pass by there must pay a toll before they can be released." If you meet a woman with a good appearance, you will even be insulted by them in turn. ”
"Bully, just in time! You wait here for me for a moment. Bai Xiaojian's heart moved, comforted Ning Cheng, and walked in the direction of Changting with his sword.
Ning Cheng saw Bai Xiaojian walking towards the long pavilion alone, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but when he thought of Bai Xiaojian's calm attitude and no fear, he knew that Bai Xiaojian must have something to rely on.
When Bai Xiaojian walked to a corner that Ning Cheng couldn't see, he immediately took out the concealment charm from the small Sumeru bag, and silently recited "invisibility" in his heart, and the whole person disappeared into the shadows in an instant.
"First observe the bullies in the long pavilion, whether they are really full of evil, and if so, kill them all. You might even get some merit points in this way. Bai Xiaojian was in a state of stealth, holding the evil sword, and walked along the ancient road towards the long pavilion.
Approaching this long pavilion, Bai Xiaojian saw that the ground was stained with blood, and a pungent smell of blood was emitted in the air.
Two strong men with large knives stood on either side of the entrance with fierce looks.
One of them laughed evilly: "Today, we have great luck, and we are allowed to guard a big fish, and the old immortal rich man dragged his family to flee to us, but he was only willing to give us ten taels of silver for the toll, no wonder the eldest brother was ruthless and wiped them all out......"
The other person was calculating how much money he could share, and then he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's a pity that that delicate little lady, once the big boss and the second boss divide the winner, they will be destroyed by the hot hand......"
Hearing this, Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but be angry, although he has nothing to do with good people, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a righteous conscience.
So he walked briskly inside.
