Xu Mo saw it, and his heart suddenly moved, if it was a long breath, this Kuang Master, a Qi refiner who specialized in Qi refining, was not much stronger than his own static breathing. But when it comes to the degree of condensation of the breath, it is far better than him.

Seeing this Kuang Shi piercing the plank in one go, he thought: My breath is similar to his, he can use his breath to penetrate the plank, what about me?

He tried to blow into the palm of his hand, and found that his breath could not be condensed like the other party at all, hitting the palm of his hand, almost not producing much feeling, and he was suddenly a little disappointed, thinking: They qi refiners must have a unique method of refining qi, the length of breath is still secondary, and the most important thing is that it is a special luck method. I didn't have this kind of luck in my hands, and the breath I blew out certainly didn't have that much power. But this method of luck is not easy to cultivate.

He shook his head and continued to look into the middle of the field.

That Kuang Shi blew through the plank in one go, and Emperor Zhizheng praised it, applauded and smiled: "Kuang Dao is friendly and magical, let me take a look at this plank." ”

Master Kuang bowed down and answered. The two guards took the wooden plank and arrived in front of Emperor Zhizheng, who looked at it carefully for a moment, stretched out his hand and stroked the small hole on the board, but saw that the small hole was smooth, as if it had been chiseled with a chisel and carefully polished, he couldn't help but praise: "Good qigong." ”

Master Kuang bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty Xie praised." ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "Kuang Daoyou, in addition to this, there are any clever means, it is okay to display them together, so that I and all Daoists can open their eyes." ”

"Yes. Your Majesty. Master Kuang responded, and then said: "The way of refining qi, broad and profound, the minister has been cultivating for more than forty years, and so far, it is just the first glimpse. ”

Speaking of this, after a little thought, he continued: "Next, the minister wants to perform a small technique of resurrecting the dead, please ask Your Majesty's permission." ”

Emperor Zhizheng's face was surprised, "The dead are resurrected? Can it be saved?"

Kuang Shi said: "It's been a long time since I died. No, the minister can revive the person who has just died. In addition, the man must be dead. And the body must not be destroyed. If it is a natural old age. Or mortally wounded and killed, and there is nothing the minister can do. ”

Emperor Zhizheng was slightly disappointed and thought about it. Then he added: "That's also a great supernatural power." Fellow Daoist, what help do you need?"

Kuang Shi said with a smile: "You don't need help, Your Majesty, it's just this kind of thing, and the minister can't perform it alone, so I have to ask Your Majesty for someone to cooperate." ”

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "Who do you want?"

Kuang Shi continued: "A guard is enough. ”

Emperor Zhizheng glanced at the guards beside him, his eyes fell on one of the guards, and ordered, "You go and cooperate with Kuang Daoyou." ”

"Your Majesty. The guard was shocked, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, there are still sixty old mothers in the minister's family, if the minister dies and the old mother has no one to support, please have mercy on Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhizheng turned to Kuang Shi and asked, "Kuang Daoyou, can your method really save the dead?"

Kuang Shi said proudly: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee his life." ”

Emperor Zhizheng nodded, then turned to the guard, and comforted Wen Yan: "Don't worry, I guarantee that you will not die." Thou art loyal and commendable, and the reward is two hundred taels of silver, go. ”

"Your Majesty. The guard had no choice but to kowtow a few more times and walk towards Master Kuang.

The Kuang master clenched his fists and saluted, "Offended." The guard stopped before him, said nothing, and closed his eyes to death.

Kuang Shi turned his head, then raised his voice and said to Emperor Zhizheng: "Your Majesty, whatever you see later, please don't be afraid. ”

Emperor Zhizheng smiled: "Kuang Daoyou is in charge of himself, this scene is not enough to scare me." ”

Kuang Shi nodded, and then hugged his fists around. Suddenly, he reached out, grabbed the guard, and pressed it into a cauldron filled with water next to him. The guard didn't struggle at first, let him do what he wanted, and when he was about to die, he couldn't help but struggle with the support of his survival instinct. Hands sticking out from behind their backs, scratching and scratching, trying to get out of the water.

Kuang Shi looked calm, firmly pressed the guard, but did not let him come out, the guard struggled for a while, suddenly stopped, and was silent.

Kuang Shi still pressed him into the water and didn't let him out, and after a while, he let go of his hand. The guard's body slowly softened, and Kuang Shi supported him and gently placed him on the ground.

When Xu Mo saw it, he couldn't help but think: Is it artificial respiration? If it is just artificial respiration, many people can do it in reality, but it is really nothing. However, looking at the momentum of this Kuang master, I am afraid that it is not so simple.

But I heard Emperor Zhizheng ask: "Kuang Daoyou, this guard is dead, do you plan to revive him now?"

"No, Your Majesty. Kuang Shi replied: "This guard is not dead for the time being, and there is still a breath in his chest, which is held and cannot come out, so he is just faking his death." Now to save him, not only the minister, anyone can do it, just press his chest hard, and the guard will wake up when the breath in his chest is smooth. ”

Emperor Zhizheng obviously had not heard this truth, and said strangely: "Oh! ”

Kuang Shi replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." After speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "It's better for the minister to wake him up first and show it to His Majesty." However, this guard faked his death once, his body was weak, and the next time he did it, he would have to change someone. ”

Emperor Zhizheng agreed, "It's okay, Daoyou quickly woke him up and let me take a look." ”

"Yes. Kuang Shi agreed, walked to the guard, and was about to save people, when he suddenly remembered something, and said to Emperor Zhizheng again: "Your Majesty, the minister just said that this guard is a fake death, not only the minister, anyone can save him, in order to confirm the minister's words, it is best to ask His Majesty to send someone to do it." ”

Emperor Zhizheng nodded, and instructed the other guard next to him, "You go." ”

"Yes. The guard said yes and walked over to Kuang Shi.

"There is labor. Kuang Shi said politely, and then instructed the guard: "You press from here, ...... here" pointed to the body of the guard who faked his death. Point out to the guard.

The guard squatted down as he said, and pressed on the other guard's body according to Kuang's instructions. Kuang Shi pointed out: "Use more force, this person's breath is very closed, and his strength is too light, so he can't go well." yes, that's it, punch hard here, punch hard here, punch hard, ......"

The guard did as he told. Do it one by one. Another punch slammed into the chest of the suspended death guard, and the suspended death guard's breath was smoothed, and he suddenly coughed and sat up. Spit up a lot of water out.

"Wake up. I really woke up. Emperor Zhizheng looked surprised. I couldn't help but praise loudly.

Kuang Shi said lightly: "Your Majesty, this person is just faking his death, so he wants to be saved." It's much easier, not only the minister, anyone can do it, and next, what the minister wants to perform is really dead. Please send another guard to cooperate. ”

"That's you, you don't have to come back, cooperate with Kuang Daoyou, just like this person just now, you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver. Emperor Zhizheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the guard who had just saved people.

"Yes. The guard had no choice but to agree.

The other guard was glad that he had survived, and hurried back to his post. Emperor Zhizheng called him over and asked a few words, probably how he felt about faking his death just now, and the guards answered them one by one.

"Offended. Kuang Shi said to the other guard. Then he reached out, held down the guard, and pressed it into the pot. The guard, like the previous one, did not struggle at first, but when he was dying, he could not help but struggle.

Kuang Shi held him firmly, and like the previous guard, after a while, this guard also faked his death, and Kuang Shi put it on the ground.

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "Kuang Daoyou, what are you going to do now?"

Kuang Shi said: "Back to Your Majesty, this person is only faking his death now, so the minister has to wait for a while, and when he is really dead, he will try to save him." ”

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "How long will it take?"

"A stick of incense will take as long as it takes. Kuang Shi replied.

"Light the incense. Emperor Zhizheng commanded, and a guard lit a stick of incense and placed it in the middle of the field. The next thing is to wait, and after a while, the incense is burned.

Kuang Shi said: "Your Majesty, now this person is really dead, the same method, ordinary people will be able to save him." ”

Emperor Zhizheng nodded and turned to the group of guards, "Do any of you remember the method of saving people that Kuang Daoyou taught just now?"

One of the guards agreed, "Your Majesty, the minister remembers." ”

Emperor Zhizheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered: "You go and try it." ”

The guard said yes and walked over to Kuang Shi. Kuang Shi stretched out his hand and pointed at the dead guard, "Please." The guard crouched down, reached for the dead guard's chest, and as soon as he touched his body, he noticed that the guard's body was already cold.

The guard was frightened, and pressed the dead guard on the chest for a while, and punched him a few more times, according to the method he remembered. The guard was really dead, and he didn't react. Seeing that it had no effect, the guard stood up and said to Emperor Zhizheng: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent. ”

Emperor Zhizheng didn't blame him, and said lightly: "Retreat." ”

"Yes. The guard said yes and stepped back.

Emperor Zhizheng turned to Kuang Shi, "Kuang Daoyou, it's up to you." ”

"Yes. Master Kuang agreed, and walked over to the dead guard and stood still. He was not in a hurry to do anything, first raised his head and took a deep breath, this breath was inhaled, and his whole body swelled again.

Then he said to Emperor Zhizheng: "Your Majesty, this guard's body is already cold, and if you want to save him, you must first warm up his body." Strangely, he took a breath, but when he spoke, that breath did not leak at all.

Emperor Zhizheng said: "Fellow Daoist, please show it to me." ”

"Yes. Kuang Shi squatted down, his hands were linked, and he slapped the guard quickly, he inhaled enough, his body was swollen so much, but every time he slapped it, he seemed to find an outlet, and the qi on his body was vented. I slapped the road many times in a row, and slapped every part of the guard's body, and the breath in his stomach was discharged.

But the guard still showed no signs of coming back to life, so he helped the guard to his feet, took another breath, stretched out his hands, pressed his chest and back, and squeezed hard.

His movements looked like he was pressing an accordion, and the guard's chest and back seemed to be sucked in by the palms of his hands, contracting and expanding with the movements of his hands.

With Kuang Shi's movements, the qi in his stomach slowly leaked out as before. At the end of the day. He suddenly shouted, "Wake me up." "Pull hard with both hands, followed by another pull.

"Ahem!" the guard coughed violently and suddenly opened his eyes.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, and Emperor Zhizheng exclaimed: "The resurrection of the four people is really a miracle skill." ”

Kuang Shi let go of the guard, bowed to Emperor Zhizheng, and saluted, "Your Majesty Xie praised." ”

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "Daoist friends are so powerful, what are your opinions about immortality?"

Master Kuang cleared his throat. Only then did he say: "The minister is a qi refiner." Therefore, this way of immortality is also related to qi refining. ”

"Oh!" Emperor Zhizheng then asked, "What do you say?"

Kuang Shi replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, the reason why the living are alive and the dead are dead. The difference is nothing more than a breath. There was a breath in the chest of the living. So it can be born. When a dead person is out of breath, he will lose his breath before he dies, so he has to die. Therefore it is life or death. The minister thinks that it has a lot to do with this tone in people's chests. ”

When Emperor Zhizheng heard this, he became even more interested, he sat on the chair, leaned forward slightly, and said eagerly: "Fellow Daoist, please continue." ”

Kuang Shi smiled indifferently, looked proud, and continued: "People are in the prime of life, breathing smoothly, so they are healthy, when they reach old age, it becomes difficult to breathe, the older they get, the more difficult it is to breathe, and when they reach the most difficult time, especially when they are dying, there is only breath out, no breath in, and after this breath is out, the person will die." Therefore, the minister thought that if you want to live forever, you must also consider the aspect of qi. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Emperor Zhizheng again.

Kuang Shi smiled: "Your Majesty, please try to take a deep breath and see what it feels like." ”

Emperor Zhizheng took a deep breath according to his words, this breath was inhaled, and soon his lungs were full, he couldn't inhale it, his face was red, he stopped, and said to Kuang Shi: "Kuang Daoyou, I can't breathe in." As he spoke, he let out a breath and involuntarily exhaled the full breath in his lungs.

Kuang Shi said: "That's it, people inhale into the lungs, and the capacity of the lungs is limited, to a certain extent, when the lungs are full of air, they can't breathe in. At this time, you can only exhale, not inhale. When a person dies, it is the same, he cannot inhale and inhale, but can only exhale outward. Therefore, if you want to live forever, you must at least think of a way to inhale the qi into it. The so-called refining of qi is this kind of qi. ”

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "Then how can we refine this qi?"

Master Kuang said: "The minister thinks that the method of refining qi is divided into three classes, the first class is the inhalation of ordinary people, and the capacity of ordinary people's lungs is limited, so no matter how you inhale this breath, it cannot exceed the capacity of the lungs, and once it reaches the limit of lung capacity, it can no longer be inhaled." ”

Emperor Zhizheng nodded thoughtfully.

But Master Kuang continued: "Qi refining starts from ordinary people, and the first thing to refine is to inhale more qi, but since the capacity of the lungs is limited, where can these more qi be inhaled?"

"Where do you suck it?" Emperor Zhizheng subconsciously asked.

Kuang Shi replied, "Suck it into the human body." Your Majesty, please see what changes have been made in the ministers. As he spoke, he took another deep breath, and as he inhaled it, his chest swelled, and then his whole body swelled.

Emperor Zhizheng observed him for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, you seem to have gotten bigger. ”

Kuang Shi said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like electricity, and you can see at a glance that the minister has indeed become bigger, just because the minister inhaled this breath into his body. ”

"Oh!" Emperor Zhizheng thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did Daoyou transfer this breath from your lungs to your body?" I just saw that your chest first bulged, and then your whole body. ”

"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. Master Kuang continued, "This is the second stage of Qi refining, which transports the Qi that cannot be stored in the lungs to other parts of the body and stores it, so that the human body can store more Qi. ”

Emperor Zhizheng asked again: "What is the effect of storing more qi? Could it be that the more qi the body stores, the more it will make people immortal?"

Kuang Shi shook his head, "No, Changsheng still needs the third step, exhaling while inhaling." When people are dying, they vent their anger outward, and the more they vent their anger, the more they discharge, the more they cannot replenish it, and they cannot control it. Therefore, when the anger is exhausted, the man dies. A qi refiner like Ruchen refines qi, refining to the stage of Chen, although he can store more qi in his body, but he can't replenish it, he only comes out of the qi and does not enter the qi, and when he reaches the most point, he still can't avoid death. ”

Emperor Zhizheng couldn't help but ask again: "In that case, how can we live forever?"

Kuang Shi replied: "Your Majesty, when a person is dying, the qi leaks outward, which is not under his control, at this time, for ordinary people, if they want to inhale, they can't inhale, but if they can't inhale, the qi in the stomach can't be replenished, and after all, the person will die." Therefore, if you want not to die, you must find a way to replenish your qi. Qi refiners refine qi, and it is this breath that is refined, inhaling while exhaling. ”

"Inhale while exhaling?" Emperor Zhizheng was a little surprised, because Kuang Shi's words sounded quite simple.

"Yes. Kuang Shi agreed, and continued: "Your Majesty, when a person is dying, he begins to lose his anger, and if he has something to replenish, his anger cannot be exhausted, and if he is not exhausted, he will not die. Therefore, before a person dies, when he is about to die, if he is not dead, he is also called not discouraged. ”

"It's just that this inhale and exhale sounds fairly simple. Emperor Zhizheng continued.

Kuang Shi smiled: "It's easy to stand up, but it's difficult to do, why not give it a try." ”

Emperor Zhizheng tried it according to his words, inhaling and exhaling at the same time, but he immediately found that he couldn't exhale when he inhaled, and he couldn't inhale when he exhaled, and he couldn't do it after trying for a long time, so he shook his head again and again, "It's difficult, it's difficult." ”

Kuang Shi said: "This is the third step of qi refining, inhaling and exhaling into one, and there is no division, it is the highest realm, and only when you reach this step can you not die." (To be continued......)
