Chapter 21: Idiots
It was late at night, and the senior brothers were already asleep, and the senior brother Bai Puzi at the head of the shop was snoring like thunder.
Mo Yan got up quietly, removed the pillow and lay on his back, folded his hands on his navel, and then his whole body naturally relaxed.
"It's really mysterious, self-exhaling and self-sucking, like a spring swamp fish, like a hundred stings. The spirit is customary, not turbid, not mouth or nose, no going and no coming, no entry and exit. Mo Mo silently recited the key points in the "Shrinking the Fetus and Dispersing Qigong" in his heart to regulate pranayama. He first inhaled slightly, then held his breath and waited quietly for the innate vitality in the sea of qi to be excited. After a while, his chest and abdomen were already stuffy, and he continued to hold still, gradually feeling more and more uncomfortable, and finally it was as if he was about to suffocate to death. At this moment, the vitality in the body was activated because of survival**, and the abdomen suddenly fluctuated and jumped, fierce and ferocious, wave after wave. Mo Yan breathed lightly, and then held his breath again, repeating the cycle.
Jin Danzi said that from the beginning of practicing this technique, the number of breaths should be reduced day by day, with an average of half per month, and the last month should reach one breath within two hours. Alas, suffocating to death, Mo said in his heart, but compared to the long years when Zhenwu Xuantian Gong had been successful for more than ten years, the attraction of ten months was too great, and he was determined to practice hard, even if he was suffocated.
After that, Mo Yan practiced hard every night, and in less than a month, he had already reduced the number of ordinary breaths, and felt that the original full dantian true qi had also been reduced by half. During this period, Master Zhenyangzi never wanted to teach him Xuantian Gong, but Mo Yan was no longer bored, and he was still happily practicing his homework every day, and he even learned to draw more than ten kinds of talismans, and his fists and feet also improved. Seeing his carefree and carefree appearance, Mayoko reprimanded him for being an idiot in his heart.
During the Chinese New Year, Xia Bashan came up the mountain and told Mo Remnant that there was still a sea fishing notice pasted in Xiangyang City, saying that Mo Remnant, a native of Dali, Yunnan, assisted the murderers Xia Bashan and Miao Fenglin to escape from prison, and the government was arresting them. In addition, I also heard that the Wushan Gang had sent killers to western Yunnan to hunt them down, and the good news was that that Steward Xue was now speechless and crazy.
"I really can't see that your palm is really powerful. Shabashan laughed.
"They don't know that the Miao Hall Master is dead. "Don't be ghostly.
"Yes, you must not go down the mountain, just stay in the Taoist temple honestly to learn art, when the situation calms down, I will go up the mountain to inform you. How about it, your master Zhenyangzi didn't embarrass you, right?" Xia Bashan was a little worried.
"Nope. Mo replied simply.
After a few months, the true qi in Mo Remnant's dantian became less and less, almost no longer felt, and his breathing could reach several times in an hour. When he tried to carry the water, he suddenly gathered his breath, and he was overjoyed that he could only carry a large wooden bucket full of water with both hands.
As soon as he said, the Qingxu Daoist met Mo Yan, asked him about his homework and tried his internal strength, and found that his dantian was empty, and there was only a little bit of true qi left in the original full, and he couldn't help but be surprised. After inquiry, he learned that Zhenyangzi had not yet taught him Xuantian Gong, so he informed his senior brother Tianxu.
"Bai Chizi Dantian's true qi is not as much as that of ordinary disciples in the sect, could it be that the old Taoist looked away at the beginning?"
"Senior brother, it is not surprising that some people's innate aura will also disappear inexplicably. However, Bai Chizi's entry into the world has not been short, and he can practice Xuantian Gong. Tianxu Zhenren said.
In the main hall, all the Taoist priests stood on both sides, and Zhenyangzi sat on a chair in the center, with an ugly face.
"White Child. He shouted out of the ranks.
"Yes, Master. Mo Yan walked out.
"You actually went to the head of the sect to sue the master, complaining that you didn't teach you Xuantian Gong, yes or no?"
"The disciple didn't dare. ”
"You are still stubborn, it's not that the master doesn't teach, but your qualifications are too poor, you come over. ”
Mo Yan stepped forward, Zhenyangzi grabbed his wrist, and then said: "Look at you, the dantian is empty, and there is no innate vitality, which is similar to your little senior brother Bai Shizi, and learning is also in vain." Since the master has ordered, the master will not embarrass you, starting tomorrow, the senior brother will teach you the two meridian acupoint diagrams, and then consider the matter of Xuantian Gong after passing the test. ”
At night, the little senior brother Bai Shizi, who was sleeping next to him, whispered to Mo Yan: "Senior brother, among the two of us, we have the worst qualifications, I always feel inferior and can't raise my head, and I feel depressed and panicked, but I have always been happy to see you, why don't you know that you are worried?"
Mo Yan smiled faintly: "It's okay to be worried, it's okay not to worry, anyway, it's just a mess." ”
"Tomorrow we are going to take a class on meridians, my heart is so nervous, those meridians and pulses are awkward, I am worried that I will not be able to remember. Bai Shizi was not sleepy, pestering Mo Yan and whispering endlessly.
"There's no way, it's just rote memorization. ”
"Next year, I will try the Wudang Mountain Festival Moon Dynasty Kobe Martial Arts Meeting, but I am still the same, alas, it is really sad, but there is a lively scene on Wudang Mountain. Shiraishi said.
"What's so good to see in Wudang Mountain. Mo Mo disagreed.
"There are several female disciples in the Five Dragons Temple, and the senior brother fell in love with one last year, but they ignored him and touched his nose. Shiraishi chuckled.
"Sleep. Mo Yan blew out the oil lamp.
Beginning the next day, Senior Brother Bai Puzi began to impart knowledge about meridians, and hand-painted human body diagrams were hung on the walls.
"The meridians of the human body are divided into the main meridian and the strange meridian, and there are twelve main meridians, namely the three yang meridians of the hands, the three yin meridians and the three yang meridians and the three yin meridians of the feet. There are eight Qi Jing Pulses, namely the Du Pulse, Ren Pulse, Chong Pulse, Belt Pulse, Yin Pulse Vein, Yang Stilt Vein, Yin Dimension Vein, and Yang Dimension Vein, collectively known as the 'Eight Strange Meridians'. There are a total of 52 single acupoints, 300 double acupoints, and 50 extra-meridian acupoints, a total of 702 acupoints. It is all marked on these pictures, you two should keep in mind, Master will take regular exams and test them. Bai Puzi explained.
"How do you remember so much?" Shiraishi worried.
Mo Yan looked at the wall chart on the wall, but his mind flew elsewhere, and he had already memorized the meridians and acupoints, and there was no need to memorize them anymore. Listening to the discussion among other senior brothers, there are seven layers of Xuantian Gong, and in the True Martial Dao Gate, the Heavenly Void True Person may have reached the seventh layer, of course, no one has ever seen it. Qingxu Daoist and Master Zhenyangzi are both at the fifth layer, while Senior Brother Bai Puzi has already reached the third layer. It is said that Miao Fenglin, who apostated back then, was a martial arts wizard, and it only took more than ten years to practice to the sixth layer, and he was the only one in a hundred years, but unfortunately he was expelled from the division and ended up dead without a place to be buried.
Mo Yan thinks that no matter how high the martial arts are, they can't resist the sinister hearts of the people, isn't the master of Miao Tang just being conspired by Xue Steward, it seems that you have to be low-key, and you have to pretend not to understand what you know, and don't show all the high martial arts, so that you can have room for maneuver and strike later. Jin Danzi's martial arts attainments should be very high, and he has a deep understanding of his own practice of "shrinking the fetus and dispersing qigong", even so, hasn't he been worn by the pipa bone martial arts, although he doesn't know the details, in short, he can't be too arrogant.
In the early morning, the hall is full of cigarette smoke, the atmosphere is solemn, today is a test of the homework of the brothers and sisters.
Zhenyangzi waved his hand, and Bai Puzi stood next to the master and shouted, "Baishizi is out of the ranks." ”
Bai Shizi stood tremblingly in front of the hall, the hem of his robe trembling slightly.
"What are the routes and twenty-one acupuncture points of the Zutai Yin and Spleen Sutra?" Bai Puzi asked.
"The walking route of the Zu Taiyin and Spleen Sutra begins with Yinbai, Dadu, Taibai, as well as Gongsun and Leaky Valley, and then follows Chongmen, the Sea of Blood, Dabao, Chest Township and Yes, it is the Three Yin Jiao. Shiraishi was sweating and stammered in reply.
Mayoko sat there frowning.
Bai Puzi shouted loudly: "It's wrong, the order is reversed, lose three and four, and answer again." ”
Bai Shizi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his robe, and replied calmly, but he still only remembered more than ten acupuncture points, and he couldn't remember the rest of the dead or alive.
"Go down and keep doing your homework. Zhenyangzi waved his robe.
"The white son is out of the ranks. ”
Mo Yan stood up.
Bai Puzi continued to ask, "Which meridian is called the 'Sea of Yang Veins'?"
"Ren Mai. Mo replied.
There was a burst of snickering in the queue.
Bai Puzi turned his face flat, turned his head to look at the master, and saw that Zhenyangzi was smiling, so he continued to ask: "Which acupuncture point on the head does the Zuyangming stomach meridian originate?"
"It starts with a head ring jumping hole. Mo Yan replied.
The Taoist priests immediately burst into laughter, and even Bai Puzi couldn't help but "poof" with a happy sound.
Master Zhenyangzi's face immediately pulled down, and he teased: "Bai Chizi can't even tell the difference between his head and buttocks, so he still wants to learn Xuantian Gong with this kind of idiot? ”
Mo Yan retreated into the queue, and Bai Shizi tugged at the corner of his clothes with a look of sympathy.
The next step was to check the progress of the other junior brothers' Xuantian Gong, and Mo Yan and Bai Shizi were not qualified to be present, so they returned to the Dao House.
"Senior brother, why did you get the ring jumping point on your head, the master said that you are an idiot, and you will not teach you the Xuantian Skill. Bai Shizi said regretfully.
Mo Yan smiled: "I don't know, what I thought of at that time was the ring jumping acupoint." ”
"It's miserable, neither of us can pass this exam, and we will be scolded by the senior brother again. "Shiraishi is worried.
At noon, the senior brothers all returned to the Taoist house happily, and each of them passed and received the Master's approval. When they saw Mo Yan's indifferent look, they all laughed at him for being an idiot, and put the ring jumping hole on his ass on his head. After beating here, except for Bai Shizi, the other senior brothers called him "idiot", and no one called Bai Chizi anymore.
At this time, the senior brother Bai Puzi announced to everyone: "Listen, all the junior brothers, next year's Wudang Mountain Festival Moon Dynasty Kobe Martial Arts Examination, Master instructed everyone to prepare in advance, practice hard, and don't make a fool of yourself on Wudang Mountain when the time comes, even those female disciples look down on us." ”
When the senior brothers heard this, their faces were sad, and Mo Yan felt very strange, so he asked Bai Shizi in a whisper.
"Every time I go to the martial arts competition, I want to be able to go out and have fun after staying in the mountains for two years, and I can also see those female disciples of the Five Dragons Temple. However, in the previous martial arts competitions, the True Martial Arts Taoist Temple has never won a game, so not only us, but also the master and the ancestor have no face. Therefore, the senior brothers want to go again, but they are afraid of losing again, and everyone is very entangled in their hearts. Shiraishi said.
"Who are the people who will play in the martial arts competition?" Mo Yan asked.
"We all played, and we and the disciples of the Five Dragons Temple first competed in groups, and the winner advanced to the next round. ”
"Is Master also playing?"
"I want to play, but I only compete with the peers and brothers of the Five Dragons. ”
"What about the two of us?"
"Of course, I also have to go up, last year I was kicked in the ass by the female disciple of Wulongguan, and I fell to the ground, alas, I lost my life. Shiraishi grinned.
