Chapter 30: Cultivation
In the next period of time, Ding Qi went up the mountain to pick anchovies, and soon gathered a hundred anchovies and handed them over to the government.
After that, Ding Qi did not rush to the waterfall to cultivate, but concentrated on going up the mountain to pick anchovy grass.
He knew that although this 'dire water' cultivation method could increase his cultivation speed, it would not allow him to improve the efficiency of searching for anchovy grass in a short period of time.
Now that the anchovy grass is about to wither and disappear, it is meaningless to rush to cultivate with the method of 'deep water' in a short period of time. Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the anchovy has not disappeared from the mountain, pick as many as possible and hand it over to the government to reduce the pressure of picking anchovy next year.
The days gradually passed in the process of Ding Qi going up the mountain to pick anchovies every day, until one day, when Ding Qi realized that he had not picked a single anchovy for several days, he could only accept the fact that the solar term of anchovy wilting had arrived, and all anchovies had disappeared from the mountain forest.
At this time, Ding Qi finally began to prepare for the cultivation of the 'deep water' method.
The waterfall in the forest that Ding Qi found was somewhere deep in the mountain forest.
The Qixia Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, with many unknown mountains. The waterfall is flowing down from a mountain peak.
Ding Qi stood not far from the waterfall, looking at the place he was going to use for cultivation in the future.
This waterfall is not too high, only about ten zhang, and there are a few large stones that can stand on people. The rapids of the waterfall cascade down from a high altitude, and the white water splashes on the stones below, and it looks quite imposing.
Originally, there were no big rocks under the waterfall, just a pool of diving. Ding Qi spent a lot of effort on these big stones to move from the side to the bottom of the waterfall. In order to carry out the next cultivation.
"The location of this waterfall is special, and it seems that it will save a lot of trouble. Tintze looked away from the waterfall, looked around, and thought with satisfaction.
The location of the waterfall is a small valley. Ding Qi was still a little worried before, whether there would be any wild beasts here that would affect his cultivation. However, after he examined the entire valley, he found no sign of the beast. In the end, he reckoned that this should have something to do with the special topography here.
However, just in case, he went to Liangcheng some time ago, bought a beast shelter for expelling wild beasts, and brought them here, scattering them around the valley.
It was only then that he was truly relieved and began to prepare for his true cultivation.
Tin Qi walked directly below the waterfall, and the torrent crashed against him, causing him some pain. Although the waterfall is not very high, the impact of the water is already very strong.
"The impact of this water flow is really unbearable!" Standing on the bluestone, Ding Qi thought with some bitterness.
Just when Ding Qi was thinking like this, and moved his body to stand as steady as possible, he was suddenly slapped by the continuous waterfall rapids.
The pool of water below the waterfall was not too deep, Ding Qi got up from the pool, looked up at the waterfall, frowned, and walked to the bluestone below the waterfall.
Standing on the bluestone again, when he stabilized himself a little, he was quickly washed down by the impact of the waterfall just like last time.
"It's even more difficult to get used to the impact of the waterfall than expected!" Ding Qi thought as he got up from the pool again, wiping his face.
When he came, he already knew that the impact of the waterfall rapids was not so easy to adapt to. It takes a lot of trial and error to get used to the impact and pressure of the waterfall on your body and not get photographed.
Being photographed from the bluestone twice in a row, Ding Qi was not discouraged. He knew that if he tried a lot, he would eventually get used to the impact of the waterfall. Summing up the experience of being washed down by the waterfall on the first two occasions, Tin Qi then stood under the waterfall again.
......
Towards evening, Ding Qi came down from Qixia Mountain. On his forehead, there were patches of red marks, and a large bag bulged out on his head.
This was caused by the fact that he was washed down by the rapids while adjusting to the pressure of the waterfall, and accidentally knocked on the rocks several times. Fortunately, the stone is relatively smooth and has no edges and corners. Otherwise, it's not just a matter of swelling, and it's inevitable that your head will bleed.
After a day of trying, until this time Ding Qi went down the mountain, he did not really stand under the rapids. But it's not that you don't get anything out of it. After a day of repeated attempts, he finally got used to the impact of the waterfall. Ding Qi estimated that after spending a while tomorrow, he would be able to fully adapt to the impact of the waterfall and be able to cultivate the method of 'deep water'.
On the second day, Ding Qi really adapted to the impact of the waterfall and could stand firmly on the bluestone under the waterfall.
Now, Ding Qi stood on the bluestone, letting the torrent continue to hit his body, but he didn't see any movement in his body. Ding Qi thought back to the description of the cultivation posture he had seen on the brocade silk before, and began to plan to enter the formal cultivation.
The cultivation posture described on the brocade silk was somewhat different from the cultivation posture of the 'deep water' method in the martial arts that Ding Qi knew.
In the ordinary Jianghu method, the practitioner performs a horse step and stands on a pile under the waterfall and runs the exercises at the same time, but the posture on the brocade silk is not a horse step standing pile, but more like an ordinary standing upright.
Slightly different from ordinary standing, when cultivating, Ding Qi's arms need to be in a strange posture, and the fingers of both hands must also be pinched into strange shapes.
For some reason, this reminded Ding Qi of the clay statue of the god he had seen in the temple before, and the posture of pinching the law.
This posture like a fairy pinching trick made Ding Qi feel quite strange.
Although he thought it was extremely strange in his heart, and even thought that this posture was a little ridiculous, it was indeed described on the brocade silk, and he could only do it.
"With this method of relying on external stimuli, I don't know how long I can last at a time. ”
Standing at the foot of the waterfall and feeling the pain brought to his body by the impact of the waterfall, Ding Qi thought to himself.
Relying on the impact of the waterfall to stimulate the body to cultivate, you can quickly increase your strength. However, this method cannot be sustained. Every once in a while, you need to stop your cultivation and rest, and you need to use a segmented type of cultivation.
This is because, with this method, the body will be constantly tempered by the impact of the waterfall. If it continues, the body will not be able to bear it at all, which will lead to a breakdown of body functions. In the same way, the method of 'fiery' has similar problems as the method of 'depth of water' that Ding Qi is going to carry out now. It's even more serious than the 'deep water' method.
From the news he heard before, Ding Qi learned that ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, if they use the method of 'deep water' to cultivate, the effective cultivation time of a day is about one and a half hours, and at most no more than two hours. This is because cultivators have to rest for an hour almost every half an hour to relieve the fatigue caused by the impact on their bodies.
A small number of cultivators with strong physique can appropriately increase the time of each cultivation, or shorten the time of rest.
Ding Qi didn't know how long he could last at a time with his physique.
"I've always remembered in my mind what it takes to reach the limits of my body. When the time comes, as long as you stop cultivating. Thinking of this, Ding Qi didn't think about it anymore.
Then, he assumed the posture described on the brocade silk and began to operate the innate skills and practice.
