Chapter 13: The Entrance Is Finally Found
Yin Zhiping lay on the bed and began to practice the method of breathing and breathing on the second layer of "Quanzhen Internal Strength". The practice of this breathing and breathing technique does not have any fixed requirements for posture, as long as it is comfortable and natural, walking, sitting and lying down. When Ma Yu taught Guo Jing to practice in Mongolia, he first asked Guo Jing to practice while asleep.
Spit out the new, spit out the waste gas in the body, and incorporate the new heaven and earth vitality. Breathe lightly, slowly, evenly, long, and deeply. Light means that the breath is light and thin, slow refers to the breath is soothing and not irritable, even the fingers are beaten, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, long means to have a long breath, and deep means deep breath. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly, one breath and one breath, a total of three hundred and sixty breaths for a week.
Yin Zhiping breathed and breathed as required, and after walking for a week, he felt that the situation had improved greatly, and the essence in his body was pervasive, and he no longer felt weak. Yin Zhiping had to wait for a few more weeks when he suddenly heard the bell ringing.
Yin Zhiping opened his eyes and saw that the sky was faint outside the window. It turned out that he was immersed in cultivation last night, and before he knew it, the night had passed, and it was time to do morning classes again. The bell rang and then again. The melodious and heavy bell rang throughout the Chongyang Palace.
Chongyang Palace has a bell every morning and evening, and the number of Tiangang is struck thirty-six in the morning and evening.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Yin Zhiping felt in good spirits and didn't feel the slightest sleep. got up immediately, washed his face, dressed in the mirror, and went out to prepare for morning class. went out of the door, just locked the door and turned around, suddenly the door next to him sounded, and Zhao Zhijing also walked out.
Yin Zhiping glanced at him, and saw that his eyes were slightly bloodshot, obviously he didn't sleep well last night, so he smiled proudly in his heart, and greeted with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao, it's early!"
"Morning!" Zhao Zhijing bumped into Yin Zhiping when he went out, he was slightly stunned, saw Yin Zhiping say hello, nodded and responded lightly, then turned around and closed the door, obviously not wanting to talk to Yin Zhiping more.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you don't seem to have slept well last night, do you have anything on your mind? Why don't you talk to me and see if Senior Brother can solve your problems for you?" Yin Zhiping saw Zhao Zhijing's intentions, so he deliberately stepped forward. As the saying goes, "The enemy's unhappiness is my dark happiness, and the enemy's pain is my happiness." He said something of concern, but his face was smiling, without the slightest attitude and expression of concern, but a look of schadenfreude.
Zhao Zhijing saw his attitude, how could he be angry in his heart, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "It's best for me if you die!"
As he spoke, he closed the door, and then said "oops", "I suddenly remembered something to discuss with Senior Brother Cui, let's go first, Senior Brother Yin go slowly!" The senior disciple Cui he was talking about was Cui Zhifang, who was also a disciple of the king's office, and was second below him among the disciples of the king's office.
Yin Zhiping looked at the back of Zhao Zhijing leaving, looked up to the sky and smiled, in a happy mood, and walked towards the Sanqing Hall with his head held high.
After breakfast, Yin Zhiping returned to his room with his sword and went to Chongyang Palace again. He got the permission of Qiu Chuji last night, and when he went out today, he was even more confident.
Out of Chongyang Palace, Yin Zhiping did not immediately go to the foot of the mountain to find the secret entrance of the ancient tomb, but first went to the mountain where he tried out martial arts yesterday. When I got to the land, I practiced swordsmanship, and then I went down to the foot of the mountain from the other side where there was no one to look for it.
On this day, Yin Zhiping returned in vain.
However, that place will not run away for a long time, and before Yang passes over Zhongnan Mountain, Yin Zhiping is not worried that he will be discovered in advance. Therefore, he is not in a hurry, but just patiently searches carefully every day. If he can't find it, he should only enjoy the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain along the way. Not in a hurry, not impatient, leisurely and leisurely. ...,
On the third day, Yin Zhiping finally found the entrance on the third day.
"It should be here!" Yin Zhiping said to himself with a smile looking at a cave in front of him that kept flowing out of the stream. But whether it's or not, you have to go in to know the way.
There is also a babbling stream in front of the cave, and the water flowing from the cave flows into this stream. Yin Zhiping jumped lightly, and he had already jumped over the stream, which was no more than seven or eight feet wide, and fell into the cave.
The entrance of this cave is quite spacious, high and low, horizontal and wide, and there is always a square circle. Yin Zhiping's foothold is a place where there is no water next to it, and the further he goes, the narrower the cave becomes, and correspondingly, the larger the water in the cave occupies. After about seven or eight steps, the cave turned to the left.
Yin Zhiping turned around to take a look, but saw that the water potential was greater after the bend, and there was no flat dry land for footholding. Or maybe the water is getting bigger, and the cave behind the bend looks a little lower. And it seems that the terrain after this bend is constantly decreasing, and the top of the cave is already a slope. At a depth of about five or six zhang, the water surface has spread to the top wall of the cave, and the rock and water meet.
The cave was already in the shade, and when it turned a corner, the light inside was even darker. Yin Zhiping had enough eyesight to see clearly. The more he looked, the more certain he was that this should be the case.
But whether it is or not, you still have to go into the water to see. Yin Zhiping put down the sword in his hand, untied the burden he was carrying behind him, and then took off the outer robe, wearing only the middle coat, and then except for shoes and socks. Unwrap the baggage and pin the air-filled sacs to your belt. Re-wrap the bag and tie it back to your back.
In this baggage are the things he has prepared. In the past few days, he had already brought things out of Chongyang Palace, and then secretly hid them in a place. Every day before going down the mountain to look for it, I take it out and take it with me, so that I can use it at any time when I find the entrance. Now, he's using it.
After packing up, Yin Zhiping took out a dagger from his coat again, pinned it to his belt, and then turned around and stepped into the water. Although there was no threat in this dark river in the original story, Yin Zhiping still brought a sharp weapon to defend himself, just in case. There was resistance in the water, but the long sword could not be swung away, so he only brought a short, sharp dagger.
The water in early spring is still a little cool, not to mention that this is a shady place, and there is no sunlight. As soon as Yin Zhiping got out of the water, he was so stimulated that he gasped a little, and waited for a while before he adapted. Then he began to explore the underwater path step by step, and gradually walked into the depths.
As he went deeper, his body sank, and the water gradually overflowed his legs, waist, abdomen, and chest. When it reached his neck, he took a long breath, held it and sank down, and his whole body was flooded into the water.
