"The reason why breathing is the foundation is because the human body itself carries too many shackles, and the best way to open the shackles is to rely on the breath to guide. ”

Ye Quan listened carefully.

The old man continued: "What is the shackles, it is all kinds of attachments, a person walks in the world, rushes around, how short is life, and in the blink of an eye, he will grow old, looking back on the past, everything is like a flower in a dream, the moon in the water, is there a bubble?"

"Master, can we put it more bluntly, I don't understand. Ye Quan honestly said what he said in his heart.

"Okay, in a simple word, breathing can open the meridians, open wisdom, wisdom grows, meridians are connected, and many things are understood. The old man was not angry, and immediately changed his speaking style and said simply.

"I understand that. ”

"Breathing, literally, is divided into one exhale and one inhale, two parts, when inhaling, close your mouth, inhale through your nose, try to inhale lightly, inhale long, inhale slowly, there is no sound, when you inhale, you can have some distracting thoughts, but when you exhale, you have to let go of everything, don't think about anything, breathe out with your nostrils, you must also be slow, light, long, but when you exhale, don't think about how to exhale, you have to be light and slow, and turn it into instinct. You try?"

Ye Quan sat upright, then closed his eyes, inhaled through his nose, and then exhaled through his nose.

After three consecutive breaths, Ye Quan opened his eyes and asked carefully, "Master, right?"

The old man shook his head and said, "When you exhale, your breath is chaotic, when you want to inhale, it is silent, and when you exhale, it is also silent, so it is qualified." ”

"Breathing is silent, so it's qualified, is it so difficult?" Ye Quan said.

"It's not difficult. As long as you don't think about anything and relax all over your body, you will succeed. ”

"If you don't want anything, can you?"

Ye Quan was skeptical.

But I sat down anyway.

Because he had a habit of wandering his mind, he found a feeling of not wanting anything.

To take it easy is to relax your head. Relax your neck, relax your shoulders, then turn your elbows, arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, calves. Sole. It's all in order, and it's easy.

Soon, Ye Quan felt that he didn't have the slightest attachment in his body.

I was sitting, but my muscles were not strained.

It doesn't seem right to say that there is no use of force at all, because sitting itself requires strength, so it should be that you only use the strength that can support your body to sit upright.

A few. The muscles that don't need to be used let him relax.

After the whole body is relaxed. The expression on his face unconsciously became soft, full of a sense of nature.

Naturally, it will become a smile.

There is not the slightest pretentious smile.

The old man looked at the apprentice opposite and nodded slightly, revealing a hint of affirmation.

I was not mistaken, and I was able to enter this level of meditation with ease. The method of breathing, the introduction is really fast. ’

Looking at the apprentice, between breaths, from a slight sound at the beginning, to a moment later. Almost silent.

And seeing that his expression was as usual, he really didn't have the slightest intention of pretending.

It seems that it really went in.

After another moment, the old man smiled again.

Indeed, when he saw the apprentice on the other side, when he was breathing, he went further and stopped breathing.

There was a look of joy on his face.

However, Ye Quan's breathing stopped, and the time he entered the meditation was not very long, just a short cup of tea.

Then, the sound of his breathing came again.

At this time, Ye Quan opened his eyes.

Revealing bewilderment.

"I know what you're thinking. ”

The old man said, "It is normal for the nose to stop breathing, and when the treasure of the human body is quiet to a certain extent, the nostrils will stop breathing, and then the body breathing will be produced." ”

"Body breathing?"

"Yes, it is the body breathing, the body pore breathing, representing the nostrils, exchanging with the outside air, absorbing and so on. ”

"You don't have to force this, if you do, you are wrong. This point is especially important, not only this, but in the future practice, if you cultivate the Dharma in our sect, you must not force it, and once you force it, it will be absolutely wrong. Even if you rely on some extreme methods to force the practice of body breathing, over time, it will have a bad impact on the body, remember. ”

"After the body breathes, there is the fetal breath. After the fetal breath ......"

The old man spoke slowly.

Ye Quan listened carefully.

In a flash, eight years have passed, and eight years later, the top of the mountain here.

A child of seven or eight years old had long since disappeared, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old had appeared.

The young man, dressed plainly, sat on a meadow in the middle of the courtyard, motionless.

It looked very quiet.

Although on the surface, he was just sitting normally, and there was nothing strange about it, but if a person who knew how to cultivate opened his heavenly eyes, he could see that around him, there was just an endless amount of spiritual energy, surging madly towards his body.

It's incredibly fast.

It was as if his body had become a vacuum, and the surrounding spiritual energy, because it was leaking here, flowed towards him.

This is the very high state of meditation, the state of emptiness.

I don't know how long it has been, but the stars have changed day and night, and many days have passed.

The teenager hasn't woken up yet.

On this day, just after dawn, an old man suddenly appeared from the courtyard.

The boy opened his eyes.

He asked strangely, "Master, it seems that this is the first time that you have deliberately disturbed my meditation, has something serious happened?"

The old man is naturally the young man's master.

The boy is Ye Quan.

Ye Quan had grown up, and he stood up.

There was no sadness or joy on the old man's face, but his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, his eyes were looking at his nose, his nose and mouth, and his mouth and heart, and he was indeed still in peace.

Although he acted and spoke, it did not affect his practice in the slightest.

Such means are indeed extremely advanced cultivation methods.

The old man said: "Emei holds the martial arts hall once every ten years, you can go and have a look." ”

Ye Quan shook his head and said, "Master, you know that I dare not be interested in these. ”

"Master naturally knows that since the day you started cultivating, your cultivation heart has been firm, and you have never left this place for a single step, but. This trip is also an opportunity for you, you need to go down the mountain to experience. I can't see your cause and effect clearly, but I know that you are going down the mountain. It must be right. ”

The old man still lowered his eyebrows, as if he hadn't opened his eyes.

Ye Quan showed a hint of reluctance.

Still, he said, "Okay then." ”

The old man flew up an invitation card in his hand and flew into Ye Quan's hand.

The old man said, "Take the invitation card, you can prove your identity." ”

"The disciple is gone, the master takes care. Ye Quan bowed, and then his body moved, and he walked out of the fog.

Appeared before, where he knelt down eight years ago to worship his teacher.

Revisit.

Nothing seems to have changed. Everything has become too much again.

Ye Quan looked around, the big trees that had become thicker, and a new path had appeared.

Looking at this winding path, Ye Quan thought to himself: "Fortunately, I didn't touch anyone passing by, otherwise, it would be scary if someone suddenly appeared." ”

Ye Quan looked at everything around him with a calm face. Step by step, they walked to the road.

"Sister Meng, I don't know what happened? Is she okay?"

Ye Quan's eyes showed nostalgia.

When I was a child, we went through hardships together and helped each other to overcome difficulties.

Ye Quan was still thinking about it, and then he remembered his childhood memories.

He suddenly felt weird.

My childhood memories seem to have some vague feelings.

Childhood memories?

Ye Quan muttered silently in his heart.

That's when it happened. I heard a loud fight at the end of the path I was taking.

Soon, he saw a woman with an injured arm appear from his sight and rush towards him.

She walked a little way, followed by a group of women. It also appeared.

The group of people in the back is indeed a murderous appearance with a long sword in their hands.

It seems to be a vendetta in the rivers and lakes!

Ye Quan thought to himself.

He wanted to get out of the way and not be nosy.

However, when he saw the appearance of the woman who was being hunted down, he was immediately shocked.

Then anger appeared on his face.

However, then, he thought about it again and shook his head secretly.

"Although they look alike, they are not the right age. ”

Ye Quan thought to himself.

However, for this woman, Ye Quan also had compassion.

Looking at this man's face, he is very kind, not like a vicious person.

The woman, who was mixed with a stone under her feet, immediately fell towards Ye Quan.

Ye Quan stretched out his arm and held it up.

The woman broke free, because her arm was injured and bleeding, but she had no strength, and suddenly lay down in Ye Quan's arms.

Ye Quan was embarrassed, if he retreated, he could do it, but this woman would definitely fall, and it would be difficult to leave.

The woman snorted angrily and pushed Ye Quan away, with a look on her face, and then scolded: "You don't have long eyes, don't get out of the way." ”

As he spoke, he quickly pushed Ye Quan, and then ran away.

At this moment, many chasing women behind also followed, hurried past Ye Quan's side, and showed a little ill will towards Ye Quan.

probably thought that if there was no such guy, the person they were chasing would probably not be able to escape.

Ye Quan turned to look at these women and smiled awkwardly.

Watch them leave.

Then he thought to himself: "I was hesitant, but now I am determined." ”

The woman who was chased just now gave him a look, clearly telling himself that he had something to do with her, otherwise the guy behind him would not let him go.

Ye Quan understood this meaning.

Therefore, he cannot stand idly by.

It's also strange to say that the master has handed him over for eight years, and he has only taught him to meditate, and has never handed him over the Tao or martial arts at all, so after Ye Quan came out, some of the three-legged cat methods he learned when he was a teenager were useless.

However, he asked himself, after meditating for many years, he actually practiced something special.

That is, he is very fast in everything and walks much faster than ordinary people.

Every move, if you want to be fast, if you want to be slow, you want to be slow.

Quick reflexes, light movements, seems to be specifically for him.

There's a question of degree.

Ye Quan took a step, and his body turned into a cloud of smoke, and with a whoosh, he disappeared from the spot.

Chase after the women.

Soon, he came to the side of the group of women, Ye Quan made a grimace at them when he had time, and then, he accelerated again and caught up with the woman in front of him.

Hold her uninjured arm, and then move faster and escape.

This move was seen by the women behind them, and they immediately shouted and scolded angrily.

"Stinky boy, dare to meddle. Help the enchantress escape and find death!"

"I saw him helping that demon girl just now, it turned out that he was really in a gang. ”

"Catch up with them. ”

"Kill!"

Ye Quan naturally turned a deaf ear.

The woman was pulled by Ye Quan's arm, but she felt that her speed had increased greatly, and she was getting farther and farther away from the people chasing her behind.

Although there is a difference between men and women, they did not push this kid away.

Soon, Ye Quan saw the group of women behind him and came out of his sight.

He smiled.

But he did not speak.

The women in the back, all chasing are out of breath.

Bent over and panting, some of them couldn't walk.

A leading woman, although her appearance was ordinary, but a little majestic, she hated the sword in her hand and plunged it into the ground.

Scolded: "This pair of dogs and men. ”

At this time, two attendant women came over beside her, looking quite ugly, and they said, "Senior sister, it seems that the demon girl can't catch up." ”

Senior sister, snorted, and scolded: "Do you say it, it's nonsense, I can't see them running away." ”

The two attendants immediately took a few steps back and stopped talking.

Just then, there was a gust of wind from behind.

Then, a middle-aged woman holding a strange long sword, in a few steps, came to the front of the women with great speed.

She turned around, revealing a majestic, fierce face, her eyes were like lightning, and she looked at the women, who bowed their heads one after another, revealing a look of cowardice.

Bent down and arched his hand: "Master." ”

The middle-aged woman snorted and scolded: "You group of waste, because I can't get out of it temporarily, I can't chase you after an injured little girl, but you can't catch up." What's the use of keeping you around. ”

"Master forgiveness. The women knelt down in terror.

Senior Sister raised her head at this time and said, "Master, it's not that we are doing things badly, we have already surrounded that girl, and we are about to dismantle it in eight pieces." ”

"Eight pieces?" The middle-aged woman's face changed, and she snapped and gave the senior sister a slap.

said angrily: "I said, I want to arrest that woman, I will personally interrogate, who made you unloaded." Darn. ”

"Master, I'm sorry. I just made a slip of the tongue. Senior Sister, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and her face showed a pitiful voice, and she hurriedly said.

Go on. The middle-aged woman said coldly.

"Yes, we surrounded that girl, and we were about to arrest her, when we were about to arrest her, at this time, a stinky boy suddenly appeared, that stinky boy, who was extremely fast, and before we could react, the man ran away with the demon girl. ”

After the senior sister finished speaking, she looked at the female disciples around her.

The female disciples immediately replied: "What Senior Sister said is that there is indeed a man who has robbed the demon girl. ”

The middle-aged woman sneered and said to herself: "Dare to rob people with me, this person is really born with great courage." (To be continued.) )
