Chapter 18: The Secret of Internal Strength
After Yue Buqun demonstrated the Lost Steps, he took out a booklet, handed it to me, and said: "I have written down all the power methods and power skills of the Lost Steps, you can take it and read it, if there is anything you don't understand, come to me again." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Thank you, Master!" I thanked excitedly, quickly took the booklet, lowered my head, and began to check it, and when I finished reading the contents, I found that Yue Buqun had already left, I patted my forehead and scolded myself for being rude, but soon opened the booklet again.
There is not much content recorded in this book, mainly about the power skills and footwork of turning around while running, it looks very simple, and it can be seen from the ink that this booklet may have been written by Yue Buqun last night, but it is very suitable for me.
After reading it a few times, I took the booklet in my arms and walked to the edge of the woods, intending to try it myself.
After lowering my head and recalling the essence of the lost step, I took a deep breath and rushed into the grove in front of me, and soon the front was blocked by a large tree.
I sighed and continued to move forward, but before I could breathe, a big tree appeared in front of me, but my body suddenly stiffened, and I could only rush forward straight-up, seeing that the trunk in front of me was getting closer and closer, I couldn't help but stretch out my hands, press on the trunk, and turn from the side of the trunk by the reaction force.
I stopped with some disappointment, looked back at the big tree I had just crossed, and thought to myself that if it were an enemy, it wouldn't have made me turn around with the strength of the body! Thinking of this, I took out the booklet again, read it for a while, walked out of the woods, and continued to practice.
Before I knew it, the sun was turning overhead, and I touched my somewhat deflated stomach, although I was very hungry, I didn't feel tired at all, but at this time it was time to eat, and I stopped practicing, so I simply cleaned up and rushed to the cafeteria.
After lunch, I hurriedly stopped the disciple named Gao Genming, arched my hand, and said, "Senior Brother Gao, I see that you have been holding an abacus, so I take the liberty to ask, I wonder if you are more familiar with the affairs of Shangjia?"
Gao Genming nodded and said, "Yes, our family is a merchant at the foot of Huashan Mountain, since I was included in the door wall by the master, I have been in charge of purchasing affairs, I don't know what kind of business Senior Brother Lin has to take care of Senior Brother?"
Although his tone was not very polite, I was not angry, because no matter where I went, the old people in a group were not too friendly to the newcomers, and this morning, Yue Buqun also instructed them to do voluntary labor, although he sent them away when he was teaching the exercises, but it was easy to figure out that he had done so much in the morning, mainly for me.
I took out the mutton fat jade bracelet from the pocket of my clothes, handed it to Gao Genming, and said, "Senior Brother Gao, I want to sell this bracelet, but I am new to the city and I am not familiar with it, so I want to ask Senior Brother Gao for help." "I stole this bracelet from a brothel in Fuzhou, although I also took a lot of money at that time, but after such a long time, that money has long been spent, and this bracelet is of little use to me, and it is troublesome to wear it around my neck, so I want to sell it for some money.
"Oh......" Gao Genming's eyes lit up when he saw the bracelet, and he hurriedly took it, looked left and right over and over, and exclaimed: "Wow, this jade bracelet is simply superb, I have never seen such a good mutton fat jade, even if this jade is regarded as an heirloom, you really plan to sell it?"
"Yes!" I nodded and said, "I don't bring it anyway, and it's useless to carry it all the time, so it's better to sell it!"
Gao Genming patted his chest and said, "Okay, this matter is on me, senior brother will definitely help you sell it for a good price! If it weren't for the lack of money, I would have wanted to buy it!"
"Hehe, if I don't have a lot of money during this time, I can give it to my senior brother, but this jade bracelet is in Fuzhou City...... Uh, I got it, and I have to pay attention to it when I sell it. "I was a little embarrassed and embarrassed to say it was stolen.
"It's okay, junior brother, don't worry, Fuzhou City is thousands of miles away from our Huashan, how can anyone find it?" As a businessman, Gao Genming's courage is really not small.
"Thank you, senior brother!" I thanked and continued: "Senior brother, junior brother, I am new to the school, I don't know anything, and there are still many things that need your help, so I want to ask you to help me buy some wine and meat, and invite you senior brothers and sisters to eat." ”
"No problem!" As soon as he heard about eating and drinking, Gao Genming immediately smiled, and his relationship with me became much closer, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "However, it's okay to buy meat, but you can't buy wine, Master and his old man don't let us drink, if he knows, I'm afraid he won't spare us easily." ”
"Ah, since Master doesn't allow it, then don't buy wine!" I exclaimed and said with some disappointment: "I heard that Senior Brother likes to drink very much, but he was punished by Master yesterday to Si Guo Cliff, so I want to buy some wine and send it to him, but since Master doesn't allow it, then forget it!"
"It's on me! But although we can't drink, it's okay to secretly buy some for Senior Brother, anyway, this is also your heart, even if Master knows, he won't punish him." Gao Genming winked at me and left.
That night, all our disciples gathered together and had a big meal, and after this treat, the relationship between the other senior brothers and me became much closer, but originally I planned to go to Siguo Cliff to deliver food to Linghu Chong, but unfortunately the mountain road there was too steep, and it would be too dangerous if I was allowed to go.
In the blink of an eye, a few months have passed, after such a long time of cultivation, my internal strength has become a little hot, and the lost steps have also been practiced well, usually when I practice against my senior brothers, although I am not their opponent yet, but as long as I concentrate on escaping, no one can catch up with me.
This morning, after the last wisp of internal force was gathered into the dantian, I opened my eyes and sat quietly on the bed, and couldn't help but think to myself: "This internal force is really strange, although it is all circulating in the meridians, but the internal force produced by different exercises is completely different; ......and as long as the internal force is circulated in the meridians, new internal forces will be continuously generated, where does these internal forces come from? Uh, it's good to obey the law of conservation of energy!"
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out, and finally, I found Yue Buqun and asked, "Master, there are some questions that the apprentice has been wondering about, where does the internal force in our body come from?
Yue Buqun nodded and said, "You can think of this question now, it's very good, many people in the rivers and lakes, even if they cultivate for a lifetime, they won't think about these things." For our cultivation, the Taoist classics divide it into four stages: refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and refining voids and combining the Tao, the latter three stages all exist in ancient fairy legends, and our cultivation at this stage is all refining and refining qi. ”
I'd heard these terms before, but I didn't think about them that deeply, so I sighed in a low voice: "Refining and refining qi! Then the internal strength we cultivate is the so-called 'qi', which is refined from the 'refinement' in the body, right?"
"Not bad!" Yue Buqun nodded and said: "In Taoist cultivation, 'qi' has a broad concept, and internal strength can also be regarded as a kind of 'qi', which is refined with the essence of the body. ”
This is logical, and if this is the case, the question is, what is the essence in the body, and where does it come from?
"What is the essence in the body, the teacher doesn't know very well, but the teacher knows that it is made up of the food we eat, you have heard of the poor and rich martial arts before, right? When you practice martial arts, you need to eat a lot of food, if you can't replenish it and force your cultivation, not only will you not succeed, but you will harm your body. ”
This is in line with the law of conservation of energy, but there is another question: "Master, but our Huashan Sect didn't eat so much when we practiced martial arts! Moreover, your martial arts are so high, don't you usually only eat gruel with green vegetables? And I've heard that some martial arts masters can even open up grains!"
"This is going to talk about the Heaven and Earth Vitality......"
Through Yue Buqun's narration, I finally understood that our world is filled with heaven and earth vitality, or aura, in short, it is a mysterious substance that only exists in novels, and the heaven and earth vitality permeates the whole world, but some places are rich and some places are thin.
As a human being living in it, the vitality of heaven and earth will penetrate into the human body all the time until the internal and external balance is reached, so where the vitality of heaven and earth is rich, there is more contained in the human body, and the body is relatively healthy and has a longer lifespan.
For ordinary people, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi only has this influence, but for cultivators, they can absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in their bodies through the circulation of internal force in the meridians, transform it into internal force, and store it in the dantian.
However, since then, the concentration of Yuan Qi in the cultivator's body will decrease, and the Yuan Qi from the outside world will continue to penetrate in, and as long as the Yuan Qi from the outside world continues, the cultivator can continue to cultivate the internal strength even if he does not have to eat too much food.
Therefore, different human bodies have different penetration rates for Yuan Qi, which leads to differences in cultivation qualifications, and different internal strengths have different transformation rates for Yuan Qi, which makes the cultivation exercises different.
However, Lin Pingzhi, as a rich second generation born in the dart game, naturally has no bad qualifications, and the transformation speed of the evil sword spectrum for the vitality is also very fast, so the speed at which I cultivate internal strength is so fast.
