Chapter 6 Meridians and Acupoints
Long Xiaoyao only finished reading the exercises of the first level of the Qi cultivation period before he paused. The content of this first-level exercise is extremely simple, only the pattern of the two veins of the human body, the route of the aura running in the two veins of Rendu, and the way in which the three beast souls or essence blood run along the meridians and absorb into the three dantians.
Although the exercises seem to be very simple, if you don't have a beast soul, you can't activate the three dantians at all, you can't sense and absorb the aura, and you can't start cultivating.
And what the patriarch of the carp clan said that he couldn't help Long Yao absorb the beast soul did not mean to shirk. He now knew that the jade plaque he had refined with his blood was called the Ten Thousand Beasts Token, and the token was densely engraved with all kinds of demon beasts.
All demon beasts naturally include all the five element castes, if it weren't for Long Xiaoyao having the five element caste spiritual roots at the same time, the blood would not be able to activate the Ten Thousand Beast Token at all.
To absorb the soul of the beast or the essence of blood, you must rely on the assistance of the Ten Thousand Beast Token. Absorb the beast soul or essence blood with the Ten Thousand Beast Token, and then transfer it into the cultivator's body, only after a compression and purification of the Ten Thousand Beast Token, the beast soul or essence blood can be absorbed by the cultivator, which is also the reason why the Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sutra was originally only cultivated by the Beast God alone, and even if others get this set of exercises, because there is no Ten Thousand Beast Token, they still can't cultivate.
Long Xiaoyao is now unable to hunt and kill demon beasts at all, let alone after collecting the beast soul with ten thousand beast tokens, he still needs to refine and absorb them. According to the records of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sutra, the soul power of a cultivator must be stronger than the beast soul absorbed, otherwise, he will suffer from the backlash of the beast soul.
The soul power of human beings is stronger than that of beasts, and the higher the spiritual intelligence of demon beasts, the stronger their soul power is, but the premise is that for the same cultivation, Long Xiaoyao has not cultivated at all now, even if the beast soul of an ordinary level 1 demon beast is probably even stronger than him.
Looking at Long Yaoyao's tightly knit eyebrows, the patriarch of the carp clan suddenly smiled and said, "Little friend, you can sense the Ten Thousand Beast Token first." ”
Long Xiaoyao was shocked when he heard this, but a thought flashed in his mind, and he immediately found that the token had entered his body at some point, and was now lying quietly in the divine court on his head. He couldn't help but be slightly startled, but he didn't feel any discomfort, as if the jade plate was just a phantom and would not have a bad effect on him.
Long Xiaoyao said to the patriarch of the carp clan in surprise: "Grandpa, why did that jade plate fly into my brain?"
The old man smiled: "The Ten Thousand Beast Token has been recognized by you by your blood, and from now on you will be the owner of the Ten Thousand Beast Token, of course it will be hidden in your body." In this way, not only will outsiders not be able to find out, but it will also be beneficial to your cultivation. Now you try to connect with it with your consciousness and control it in and out of your body. ”
Long Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what to do, and the old man explained to him that as long as he thought about the token in his mind, he could connect with the token, and then as long as he thought about it with his consciousness, he could mobilize this token.
Long Xiaoyao heard the old man's explanation, meditated on the token, and the token in the divine court immediately appeared in his mind, and his mind moved, and the token really appeared in front of him with his thoughts.
The patriarch of the carp clan looked at the surprised dragon and said, "Little friend, your surname is not bad, and then you have to familiarize yourself with your meridians and acupuncture points." ”
In the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sutra, there are not only sub-maps of each meridian, but also a general map of all meridians, as well as acupuncture points of the whole body. There are 20 meridians in the human body, including 12 canons and 8 odd meridians:
The 12 canons are the main body of the meridian system. Its naming is based on its yin and yang surname, the viscera to which it belongs, and the parts that follow it. They belong to the 12 viscera, and each sutra uses the name of the viscera to which it belongs, combined with different parts of the hands and feet, inside and outside, front, middle and back, and is given different names according to the theory of yin and yang.
The 12 main meridians are: Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Yin Pericardial Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, Hand Sun Small Intestine Meridian, Zu Tai Yin Spleen Meridian, Foot Convulsion Yin Liver Meridian, Zu Shao Yin Kidney Meridian, Zu Yang Ming Stomach Meridian, Zu Shao Yang Gall Meridian, Foot Sun Bladder Meridian;
The eight veins of the Qi Jing are the general names of the Ren pulse, the Du pulse, the Chong pulse, the belt pulse, the yin stilt vein, the yang stilt vein, the yin dimensional vein, and the yang vein.
The meridians of the human body are the channels through which the aura of immortal cultivators run, and familiarity with the meridians is the foundation of cultivation, and the acupoints are the connecting points of the meridians, and they are also the places where the beast souls are absorbed and stored when cultivating the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sutra.
Long Xiaoyao usually reads books and almost never forgets them, and at this time, it is related to his path of cultivating immortals, so he is naturally even more attentive, but his acupuncture points and meridians are invisible and invisible, so he is also a little at a loss, and he is not sure where their specific locations are.
The patriarch of the carp clan knew Long Xiaoyao's predicament, smiled slightly, and put his right hand against his vest and said, "You are careful now. ”
As the old man's voice fell, Long Xiaoyao felt a cool air flow into his body. Then, the air began to flow through a very subtle channel in his body, and the old man's mouth said, "This is the Du Mai. ”
That cool breath continued to flow in Long Xiaoyao's body, and he felt a burst of swelling pain as the air flowed through. After a while, the old man said, "Now it's Renmai." About a cup of tea, that breath had already flowed in turn within the 20 meridians in his body.
Long Xiaoyao didn't know that while the old man made him feel the 20 meridians in his body one by one, he also opened up the meridians of his whole body with his true qi. You must know that the meridians of the human body are originally closed, and each meridian acupoint is like a checkpoint, blocking the smooth flow of the meridians.
The patriarch of the carp clan is a level 10 demon beast, and his strength is already equivalent to that of an immortal cultivator in the ascension period, so it is naturally effortless to open up the meridians for the dragon. It takes at least a year or two for an ordinary immortal cultivator to open up the meridians of the whole body, but under the old man's willingness to consume his own demon power, he broke through the problem of opening the meridians in one fell swoop.
After that, the old man patiently pointed his fingers on Long Xiaoyao's body, pointing out the location of the acupoints one by one, so that he could remember them all. After the old man repeated it twice, he had completely memorized the exact location of all the acupoints, and the old man nodded with satisfaction.
Two hours have passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun in the sky has gradually turned west. In the process of teaching Long Yaoyao by the patriarch of the carp clan, the blue-faced old man did not say a word, but just put his hands behind his back and watched coldly from the side.
Long Xiaoyao was a little curious about the blue-faced old man in his heart, since the blue-faced old man came here with the patriarch of the carp clan, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, he was a little strange about what the old man was doing now? The patriarch of the carp clan didn't introduce him to the blue-faced old man, and he didn't want to ask.
After the patriarch of the carp clan waited for Long Xiaoyao to memorize the meridians and acupoints, he said solemnly: "Little friend, the next thing is the key to your cultivation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sutra. ”
