Chapter Seventy-Three: The Bridge of Heaven and Earth

In the depths of the endless snow-capped mountains, the north wind howled, snowflakes flew all over the sky, and the wind blew through the snow caves in the snow-capped mountains, making a sound like a hungry ghost in hell.

In the depths of the snow-capped mountains, an old man and a young man are advancing against the wind and snow.

Cai Lao was wearing a windbreaker made of snow foxes, and walked on the snow with great strides, leaving almost inaudible footprints on the snow, and those snowflakes automatically floated away within three feet of him.

And Qin Chen was more unlucky, his whole body was wrapped like a dumpling, bursts of hot air came out of his mouth, two icicles hung on his nose, and he would sink into the snow with every step, and it would take great effort to pull it out, if it wasn't for Cai Lao's deliberate slowdown, Qin Chen would have known where he had been thrown out.

Damn, with such a strong strength, it's better to cover me in it, and say that in order to comprehend the aura of heaven and earth, you should have more contact with nature. Of course, Qin Chen only dared to think about it in his heart, and did not dare to show anything.

"Bang. With a bang, Qin Chen hit Cai Lao's wide back, because his legs were sunk into the snow, Qin Chen could only see Cai Lao's back, and he didn't know what was happening in front of him.

Cai Lao conjured a pot of liquor out of thin air, drank a big sip of it himself, and then threw it to Qin Chen in the back, Qin Chen hurriedly caught it, and hurriedly poured a big sip, and suddenly felt a fire burst out of his lungs, burning all over his body, and becoming much warmer.

"Let's go! It's just an illusion that the spirits warm you, but it's actually your energy that drains you, and you can cross this snow-capped mountain in one go, and below you are the Far North Ice Field. Cai Lao continued to stride forward, and Qin Chen, who was behind, finally saw the scenery in front of him.

They were standing on the side of a snow-capped mountain, and from here, they were two small black dots on the snow-capped mountain, and they were already behind the most part of the snow-capped mountain, and in front of them were endless ice fields. The surface is covered with snow, very smooth, and it seems to be deserted, but from time to time you can see some small animals unique to the snow running around, and in the extreme distance, Qin Chen even saw an ice forest.

Qin Chen shouted loudly, surging full of momentum, and ran with all his might, wanting to get out of this sea of suffering.

Cai Lao cursed, directly dragged Qin Chen's big robe, and ran wildly on the snow. It turned out that Qin Chen's shout caused an avalanche, and the entire mountain top collapsed, if it weren't for Cai Lao's quick eyes, Qin Chen would have slept under the snow mountain for a long time.

In a place that was already forty or fifty miles away from the Snow Mountain, Qin Chen saw that the avalanche that had finally stopped not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Cai Lao was by his side, otherwise with his own speed. There is absolutely no escape.

Cai Lao snorted coldly, "The most taboo thing in the snow mountain is to shout, if you make such a mistake again that time, I will leave you alone on this ice field." Leave you alone to walk back. Qin Chen shook his head like a wave drum, walked back alone, what kind of joke was made, Qin Chen would definitely freeze to death.

Cai Lao pointed to a snow rabbit eating weeds in front of him. "What do you see?"

Qin Chen won't be fooled this time, he looked at Cai Lao with a respectful face, "Cai Lao." The kid saw life. ”

Cai Lao was stunned and scolded angrily: "What life, this is dinner, this is our dinner, don't catch it quickly." Qin Chen hurriedly ran over, this snow rabbit was originally eating grass quietly, it was not afraid at all since it had never seen a human, and as a result, it became a roasted snow rabbit with honor.

Skillfully peeling the skin and removing the bones, and finding a leeward place, Qin Chen blew a small song, roasting the snow rabbit comfortably.

Cai Lao pointed to the ice field in front of him: "The environment here is very special, half of the year is day, and half of the time is night. It's all daytime now, you have to get used to it, or you won't be able to sleep. ”

Qin Chen nodded, he understood the phenomenon of extreme day and night, but he couldn't say it.

That night, Qin Chen was satisfied with eating half a roast snow rabbit and had a good night's sleep in the sleeping bag that Cai Lao took out.

Although Cai Lao looked sick, Qin Chen hadn't seen him sleep, as if he just meditated, Cai Lao's hand had an extra sign that looked like gold and non-gold, like jade and not jade, looking at the four big characters on it, Cai Lao sighed, "I can't go back, I hope my apprentice can go back, inherit his position, and avenge the revenge of the year." ”

After saying that, the sign in Cai Lao's hand disappeared, and sitting on the cold ground, Cai Lao sat up.

The next day it was not dawn, so I couldn't say that, because it was never dark at all, in short, after four or five hours, Cai Lao dragged Qin Chen out of his sleeping bag and continued to live an ascetic life.

On the vast pathogen, Cai Lao pointed to everything in front of him, "Look, although the environment here is treacherous, there are still life, their lives are short, but they still never give up life, animals are still like this, as the spirit of all things, how can we be an exception." ”

"Life is everywhere, you see, this shrub, after cutting off its branches, you will see the annual rings, this is the proof that it has lived, this snow fox, you can tell its age by its bones, the animal wheels in its teeth, the bones, the teeth are the evidence that it has lived. ”

Qin Chen was puzzled: "But Old Cai, what does this have to do with breaking through the Spirit Realm?"

"Shut up. Cai Lao gave Qin Chen another look, Qin Chen didn't remember how many times he had been beaten, "You can only answer when I ask in the future, otherwise shut up for me." ”

"This is the proof that life has lived, and we humans are the same, we also have things like the rings of trees, the wheels of beasts, we call them wheels, and as for what is a wheel, we will tell you later. ”

"What is the purpose of cultivation, cultivation? Of course, for the sake of immortality, in order to live longer. The original lifespan of human beings is only sixty or seventy years old, so we have to cultivate and let ourselves live longer, and the key to how to live longer lies in Luntai. ”

Cai Lao pointed to the position about three zhang below his navel, "Luntai is here, we have many kinds of names for him, the most common is dantian, of course, there are qi sea, ancestral aperture, spirit platform and the like, but they are all the same thing." Lower Dantian, the house of Tibetan spirits, middle dantian, the house of Tibetan qi, and upper dantian, the house of Tibetan gods. You have to remember what I said, it will be very helpful for your cultivation in the future. ”

"Do you have any questions?" asked Elder Cai.

Qin Chen pointed to his dantian: "I also know the way of dantian, but Cai Lao, since the wheel is something similar to the annual rings of a tree. Then it is predestined, live for one year and add an annual ring, so how can we increase our own lifespan? It should be that we have a life cycle first and then a growth ring, not a growth ring and then a life span. ”

"That's a good question. A smile appeared on Cai Lao's face, "Have you ever seen the annual rings of a tree? On a stump, it is covered with annual rings, and there is not a trace of gaps. If the stump is several times larger, and the rings occupy only the middle, the tree will live for many years as long as there are no accidents. And the same is true of the wheel, expand the wheel several times, so that you know in advance how much life you have to live. Got it. ”

Qin Chen opened his mouth wide, how did he come up with such an idea of going against the sky, this is no longer a fight against the sky, but an increase in longevity for himself, if this is the case, wouldn't Lord Yama be unemployed, and the book of life and death would be useless.

However, Qin Chen still felt that something was wrong: "Old Cai." According to what you said, as long as the wheel platform is expanded, wouldn't it be possible to live forever, and then it will be a fart. ”

Cai Lao sighed gloomily. "That's right! But it is not so easy to expand the wheel, how many people can't expand the wheel in their lifetime, and they die helplessly. And cultivation is, in essence, the cultivation wheel. ”

Then the voice changed, "But the wheel platform is only so big." No matter how big you can be, you will eventually die, so the wheel platform is only a method of internal cultivation, and there must also be a method of external cultivation, both internal and external cultivation, so that you can live forever, but how can you cultivate externally? Our ancestors gave the answer. ”

"We human beings are inferior to demon beasts in physical body, uneven in wisdom, and weak in soul, but why can our human race occupy a place in the heavens and ten thousand worlds, it is because we can learn, of course, it is considered plagiarism by other races, we get the method of internal cultivation from trees, and where do we get the method of external cultivation?"

"We are looking for those races that have obtained a relatively long term, demon beasts, elves, spirit trees, desolate beasts, divine dragons, and even phoenixes that can be reborn in Nirvana. But this can't work, because these creatures will also die, even if their lives are a thousand times longer than the human race, they will still die, so we are confused, we don't know the direction of our own path, we can't find the external cultivation method that belongs to our human race. ”

Cai Lao's face showed a look of yearning for that, "In that era, our human race fought with the sky, the earth, and the ten thousand races, and we all survived, how could a small method of external cultivation stop our pace, so when a great power looked up at the stars again, he finally found the method of external cultivation of our human race." ”

"Looking up at the endless starry sky, the stars in the sky have not changed in the past, they will not change now, and they will not change in the future, so why don't we learn from this starry sky? Or rather, we can learn from this universe. The universe is eternal, and if we humans become another universe, won't it be eternal?"

Qin Chen gasped, what kind of genius or madman could come up with such a method and learn the universe, is this something that human beings can imagine?

Cai Lao pointed to the stars in the sky, "You see, the universe is composed of endless stars, and human beings are composed of countless fine particles, aren't our blood vessels just those interstellar channels? Even if there are some differences, we will try to become like that, but the next problem comes." ”

"What's the problem?" Qin Chen was already sluggish, and just asked Cai Lao mechanically.

Cai Lao didn't care about Qin Chen: "That is how to learn, is it to create a practice? or what to do, we don't have the slightest experience." As a result, another power appeared, saying that we can 'communicate' with the universe, borrow something from the universe, and let this thing transform our human bodies into the way the universe looks. ”

"It was a hard time, human beings looked for a lot of things, and finally found that these heaven and earth aura around us are the most suitable for us human beings, this is really an irony, two searches only to find that the most suitable for ourselves is around us, but then there is a problem, how to inhale these heaven and earth aura into the body to transform our body. ”

Qin Chen wanted to complain, it was obvious that these problems had been solved, so you just told me what to do, why bother talking about this big pile? Is it to popularize the history of the human race for me.

"That's the bridge between heaven and earth, Xiao Chenzi, do you remember the Holy Emperor Sutra?"

Qin Chen nodded, of course he remembered. On the day Huihui built the foundation, he still asked Huihui to follow him?

Cai Lao nodded with satisfaction, "There is a paragraph like this: I dare not think about all things, I dare not do what I dare to do, I take over the creation of heaven and earth, and incarnate the universe." Deceive the big universe with the small universe, store the spirit in the body, and conceive it with the heart of the universe. Immortal Miao Cheng, stepping on the bridge of heaven and earth, crossing the rooftop, endowing the shrine, knocking on the gate of heaven, and the hope of longevity. This is the true meaning of practice, and what I am talking about today is in these few words, and these few words contain the whole meaning of practice. When you understand it all, it's time for immortality. ”

I really don't dare to think about all things, I dare not do all things, I want to win the creation of heaven and earth, incarnate the universe, deceive the big universe with the small universe, store the spirit in the body, and conceive it with the heart of the universe. This "Holy Emperor Sutra" was written by the great power of the human race? This is too wicked. The immortal seedlings here appeared when Zhuji stepped into the Refining Body Realm, and the Bridge of Heaven and Earth would appear when he stepped into the Transformation Realm. According to the scriptures, there are three realms behind it, after which you can live forever.

At this time, the two of them had already come to the extreme depths of the Arctic Ice Field, and even Qin Chen didn't know where he had been.

Cai Lao pointed to the vast land. "There is an aura here that is second only to the depths of the vast mountain range in the world, and it is not inferior to the Chaoxi Divine Mountain, and it is the best way to communicate with the bridge between heaven and earth here. ”

Qin Chen hugged his head first and asked, "Old Cai." How do you communicate the bridge between heaven and earth?"

I thought that I wouldn't be able to reach my head in this way, but I didn't expect Cai Lao to shake his hand, and Qin Chen spun like a spinning top. Drill the ice a foot deeper.

Crawling out of the ice in embarrassment, Cai Lao told Qin Chen how to communicate the bridge between heaven and earth.

In fact, this bridge of heaven and earth is just a statement, it will not really appear in the air such a bridge, or it can also be said that there is such a bridge, this bridge does not manifest in time, but directly appears in the position of the wheel, others can't see it, even you can't touch it, so no one knows whether this bridge is true or false.

How to communicate?

The human body communicates with the universe and steals the aura of heaven and earth from the universe, which is a great rebellion, of course, it can't be stolen all at once, it should be stolen slowly, stealing a little at a time, deepening the amount every time, and stealing enough aura unconsciously after the most luke, which is the same as the principle of boiling a frog in warm water.

Our human body has one hundred and eight meridians, three hundred and sixty-five large acupoints, and as for those small veins, it can be said that the sky is full of stars, and no one can count them clearly, just like the stars in the sky.

Among the one hundred and eight meridians, the twelve canons that constitute the foundation of the human body are the twelve canons, but these twelve canons are the most important, so they will not be directly used to communicate the aura of heaven and earth.

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 Pulse Vein, the Yang Stilt Vein, the Yin Dimensional Vein, and the Yang Pulse of the Qi Meridian. They are different from the twelve canons, neither directly under the viscera, but also have no relationship between the outside and the inside, and their lines are different from the strange deeds, so they are called the strange scriptures.

In short, it is a sentence, what master opens up the second vein of Rendu, this is all a lie, don't look at the eight veins of the Qi Jing have such a big reputation, in fact, they are not important at all, plus their meridians are naturally thick and relatively stable, so they will choose the eight veins of the Qi Jing as the primary communication point.

Ren pulse, line in the midline of the ventral surface, its veins and hands and feet three yin and yin veins many times intersect, can always be any body of the yin meridian, so called: "the sea of yin veins".

Governor pulse, line in the middle of the back, its pulse and the hands and feet of the three yang meridians and yang vein intersection many times, can be the governor of the yang meridian, so it is called "the sea of yang veins".

Chong pulse, up to the head, down to the feet, through the whole body, become the key of qi and blood, can regulate the twelve meridians of qi and blood, so it is called "the sea of twelve meridians", also known as "the sea of blood".

Belt veins, starting from the season, obliquely descending to the belt vein points, around the body, such as a belt, can restrain the longitudinal veins.

Yin stilt vein, yang stilt vein: stilt, there is a light stilt stilt meaning. It has the functions of nourishing the eyes, opening and closing the eyelids and moving the lower limbs.

Yin and Yang veins: Dimension has the meaning of maintenance. The function of the yin dimension is "the yin of the dimension", and the function of the yang dimension is "the yang of the dimension".

The distribution of the eight meridians of the odd meridian interacts with the twelve meridians vertically and horizontally.

Among the eight veins, the Du Pulse, the Ren Pulse, and the Chong Pulse all originate from the cells and all come from the perineum, in which the Du Pulse runs in the dorsal midline, the Ren Pulse runs in the anterior midline, and the Chong Pulse runs in the abdomen and meets the Zushao Yin Meridian.

In the Qi Sutra, the belt veins run horizontally around the waist, the yang stilt veins run on the outside of the lower limbs, the shoulders and head, the yin stilt veins run on the inner side of the lower limbs and the eyes, the yang veins run on the outer side of the lower limbs, shoulders and head, and the yin veins run on the inner side of the lower limbs, abdomen and neck.

The first step in communicating the bridge between heaven and earth is to absorb the aura into the body and open up the eight veins of this strange meridian. (To be continued......)

PS: Conceive and conceive again, and find that it is really difficult to write about the true meaning of cultivation, please forgive me for not writing well.
