Chapter 11 Meditation and Practice
Start quietly, first go on a hunger strike with fishy meat and spicy food. Cover the fishy meat, the taste is turbid, and the food will be acquired and coarse, and it is difficult to subdue. Spicy things, the sex is frivolous, and the food must be dissipated by the innate qi and not gathered. Those who know the truth should not eat fishy meat and spicy food, and insist on vegetarian light rice to remove the original taste. If you don't eat too much, if you are too full, it hurts your mind. If you don't eat too much, you will be hungry. The diet should be moderately balanced, and if you are hungry, you will have more meals, and if you can eat, you will stop.
As long as you feel the true yuan power entering the body, you will first feel the increased peristalsis of the abdominal intestines when cultivating the mental method, and there will be a phenomenon such as dantian fever and lower abdomen fever. As the cultivator's own "plugging" of the qi and the accumulation of energy from the adduction of the external qi in the practice, the fever in the lower abdomen is accompanied by a sense of fullness, which is a manifestation of the gradual accumulation of true qi in the body, and then the true qi will operate in the body according to its own laws. After running for a week, the impurities are spit out of the body and refined into the dantian. Due to the large number of meridians in the human body, they are congenitally blocked and formed after tomorrow. Chen Ping didn't understand it for a long time, except that the door called Fan Fenghua to explain it.
"That, Senior Brother Fan, I don't understand it. How can I feel the True Yuan Power entering my body?" Chen Ping called Fan Fenghua and asked. "Oh, you say this, you do what I do. After Fan Fenghua finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the bed. Chen Ping followed Fan Fenghua and made the same move.
After sitting down, I only heard Fan Fenghua say, "First of all, relax your whole body." Whatever posture you take, you must be fully relaxed. This relaxation is not a soft ball, it is necessary to keep the head and spine upright so that the meridians can be smooth, but it should not become stiff and stiff, which is not conducive to relaxation and will also hinder the smooth flow of the meridians. The relaxation approach first requires the shoulders to sink. Ordinary people are usually physically and mentally nervous, and if they don't notice it, their movements do not meet the requirements of relaxation; when we do Kung Fu, we first adjust our movements, and it is naturally easy to enter a state of relaxation.
Secondly, the eyes are draped. The curtain is the meaning of slightly closed. Why do you need to close your eyes slightly, because when you open your eyes, it is easy to breed distracting thoughts, and if you close them all, it is easy to fall asleep, which is not conducive to practice. The mantra for the time of micro-closure is "open three and close seven", that is, open three points and close seven points. The specific method is that the eyes naturally droop so that you can see what is in front of you without being able to distinguish it.
Again, the tongue is on top of the palate, and it is the mouth, and it is also called "plugging" on the Danjing, that is, the mouth is closed. To put the tongue on top of the palate, the tip of the tongue should be rolled upside down and pushed to the upper palate with the bottom surface of the tip of the tongue. Because there are two small sockets on the palate of people, called "Tianchi Acupoint", which leads to mud pills. Therefore, the practice must be blocked, as if a baby was breastfeeding.
Then there is the natural breathing, that is, natural breathing, but avoid being thick and short. With the continuous deepening of the level of the mind, the snort should gradually become deep, long, even, fine and subtle.
Then gradually exercise the breath and listen to your breath. At the beginning of cultivation, I only listened with my ears and did not add my thoughts. But it's not about keeping your ears or listening to the sound of your breathing. As long as you follow the route of one breath and one breath, you can slowly experience it as if you are listening but not listening, and this is considered to be the Fa. As for the speed and slowness, thickness, depth, length, etc., of the breath, it is not to be forcibly controlled by the mind. After hearing this, the heart and breath gradually fell in love with each other, the distracting thoughts disappeared unconsciously, and even the breath seemed to be non-existent, and gradually reached the realm of meditation.
Finally, it's a two-handed approach. When holding the trick with both hands, the man holds his right hand with his left hand, and the woman holds his left hand with his right hand. Because the man's left hand is yang and the woman's right hand is yang, the yang hand is on the outside and the yin hand is on the inside. The thumb of the yang hand on the outside must be placed inside the tiger's mouth of the yin hand, so that the thumbs of the two hands are crossed, which is the shape of a "Taijitu". After a while, the hands feel hot and swollen, which is wonderful, which is the effect of the yin and yang qi connection.
After a week of true qi circulation, if you are familiar with the meridians, you will be proficient for a long time, and your mind will turn into unintentional, and your intention will become unintentional, so that your mind can get a great rest, and you can reach a state of no thoughts and desires, and your mind can be clear and dreamless. The true qi is getting stronger and stronger, the dantian is warm, the whole body is melting, the breath is open and closed, and the hair tricks around the body are corresponding. This is the foundation building period. You can understand the little junior brother, after speaking, Fan Fenghua got up and looked at Chen Ping, who was listening attentively.
Chen Ping was still immersed in what Fan Fenghua said, and looked at his junior brother: "Hey~ Isn't it the same when I came, it is estimated that he will sit for a few more days, I remember that the master said that understanding is the first, if you have a good understanding, this sitting can enter the early stage of foundation building." Come on, junior brother, when I started, it took me half a year to build the foundation. This sect will also open the patriarch, and the senior brother will have to build a foundation before he gets started. ”
Senior brother, where are you now, I miss you so much, the head of the sect often sits in a daze where you once cultivated, what happened back then. Fan Fenghua's eyes turned red when he thought about it.
Three days passed in a flash, and when Fan Fenghua came to the place where Chen Ping was meditating again, he saw that Chen Ping was still the same as three days ago, and there was no sign of waking up, so he shook his head strangely and said, "Why hasn't my junior brother woken up yet, it stands to reason that he should get up." After watching it for a long time, I didn't see Chen Ping wake up, so he walked out helplessly.
In this way, Fan Fenghua came to see Chen Ping once a day, but Chen Ping never showed signs of waking up, and on the seventh day, Chen Ping had not woken up. At this time, Fan Fenghua became anxious, quickly found Zhuge Wuji, and told him what had happened in the past few days.
Zhuge Wuji listened to it and said, "It's okay, you go back and look at him, and just tell me as soon as he wakes up." After speaking, Zhuge Wuji's eyes closed and he stopped talking.
Hey, it's really strange, why aren't you awake yet, Senior Brother, Elder Zhuge asked me to guard you, I don't know how many times you have to cultivate.
As soon as Fan Fenghua left, Zhuge Wuji opened his eyes, thought for a while, flashed, and disappeared into the room. Zhuge Wuji went there, he must have gone to the head of Yuantianmen.
I only heard, "Senior brother in charge, it has been seven days since that kid Chen Ping first retreated, and there is no sign of coming to his senses, you see, will something happen?" Zhuge Wuji came to the master's room and shouted loudly.
"Well, I already know, junior brother, how many times have you said, don't be in a hurry when you encounter something, your mind, how many years, still can't be quiet. The majestic voice of the head of the house sounded with a bit of reproach.
Hearing this, Zhuge Wuji shuddered and said, "Look, senior brother, I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid that something will happen to that kid." ”
"What can happen, I have attached a primordial spirit to him, I can know his every move, he is safe now, I don't know what surprises this kid can bring us after the end of the retreat. The head said lightly.
"Oh, then I'll rest assured, Senior Brother Head, what surprises do you say he can bring us?" Zhuge Wuji looked at his senior brother and asked.
The head thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember Cheng Mingyu, do you remember when he was in retreat many times?"
Zhuge Wuji said with a strange expression: "Senior brother in charge, you mean, you mean that Chen Ping's kid will become the second Cheng Mingyu?"
The head nodded and said: "Well, yes, you have forgotten his spiritual root, since the opening of the sect, there have been three people in this sect, our Yuantianmen sect patriarch is one, Cheng Mingyu is one, and now there is another Chen Ping, I don't know if he can have the achievements of the patriarch." ”
"Well, let's hope so, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I don't know where Cheng Mingyu's kid is going now, hey. Zhuge Wuji said sadly after listening.
"Well, yes, he shouldn't have been allowed to go out to practice back then, but the patriarch once said that as long as the spiritual root of the five elements balance appears again in this sect, it must not hinder its freedom, and the five elements balance that has not experienced the battle of life and death is also a garbage spiritual root. I didn't dare to disobey the last words of my ancestor, so I thought that Cheng Mingyu didn't come back as soon as he went. The head sighed.
"Senior brother in charge, where is Cheng Mingyu, this sect sends some disciples out to look for it every year, but they can't find it. Zhuge Wuji said.
"Senior brother, I don't know where he is, I only know that he must be alive now, but the natal spirit is much weaker, and it's hard to say that he may be trapped. Do you also know the bitterness in my heart?" said the head of the house, looking blankly into the distance.
It wasn't until they said so much that it became clear why Chen Ping would be sent to Fan Fenghua by Zhuge Wuji after he fell into a coma, and he didn't have to practice with Sun Anshan, a disciple of the Gong Sect, his own spiritual root was the same as that of the ancestor of the Yuantianmen Sect, so Yuantianmen couldn't restrict his freedom, and he could only rely on himself to practice the exercises.
Just after Chen Ping fell into a coma, the head of the main hall said with a surprised face: "Could it be that this sect is going to be revitalized again, a genius from heaven." ”
"Senior brother in charge, what kind of genius did you say from the sky, the revitalization of the sect. Zhuge Wuji looked at his senior brother strangely and asked.
"Oh, do you still remember the patriarch of the sect? Do you remember Cheng Mingyu, who is the most present in the sect and is most likely to accept the next head? As long as this kid doesn't go astray, he can become the same person as them. The head said happily, that look, that expression, indescribable excitement.
"Teacher, senior brother, you mean, this kid ......" Zhuge Wuji's tongue was knotted.
"Well, from today on, let's not go to see him, give him a free space to play, whether it is a worm or a dragon, it depends on his own creation, and don't restrict his freedom. Also, remember to give him the treatment of an inferior disciple as much as possible, and only then can he become a superior person only if he suffers hardships. In the future, it will depend on his own efforts and understanding. The head said.
Zhuge Wuji thought for a while and said, "Then, senior brother, he won't be the same as Cheng Mingyu's kid, he won't come back if he goes out." ”
