Chapter 68: Linghu Cave Mansion Hug Pu Shou
"I remember that Zhang Wuji practiced the "Jiuyang True Scripture" in Yitianzhong, and it took five years before and after. I've only used it for three years now, two years faster than him. However, the most advanced state of the Great Perfection is a quick achievement, but I can't compare to this. If you count the one or two years it took me to reach the Great Perfection realm, it is similar to the time it took Zhang Wuji. ”
In the afternoon of this day, Yin Zhiping used the kung fu he used today to cultivate the "Nine Yang True Scripture". Suddenly, he remembered that he was the only Zhang Wuji who had cultivated the "Jiuyang True Scripture" to the realm of the Great Perfection, and couldn't help but compare himself with Zhang Wuji.
As a result, it turned out that the time it took for both of them to cultivate the "Nine Yang True Sutra" to the Great Perfection Realm was about the same. However, if he practiced all the nine-layer kung fu before the Great Perfection, he was two years faster than Zhang Wuji. But this conclusion did not bring him much complacency.
First, after three years of seclusion in the mountains, his qi cultivation kung fu has already reached a higher level, and it can be said that it has reached the level of "not being happy with things, not being sad for himself". This kind of self-crooked comparison will not make him lose his temper.
Second, when he cultivated the "Nine Yang True Scripture", the starting point was higher than that of Zhang Wuji. When Zhang Wuji cultivated the "Nine Yang True Scripture", he still had the cold poison of the "Xuanming Divine Palm" in his body, and the Jiuyang True Qi that he had just begun to cultivate needed to be used to dissolve the cold poison in his body. Therefore, the Jiuyang True Qi he cultivated in the early stage would be constantly offset by a part, and naturally it would slow down some progress accordingly. And when he began to practice the "Nine Yang True Scripture", although his dantian was also broken and his martial arts were abolished. But it has already partially recovered.
This part of the internal force that was restored was when he began to cultivate the "Nine Yang True Scripture". Within a few days, all of them were transformed into Jiuyang True Qi. Let him practice the first layer of kung fu in just a few days. Not to mention that the twelve canons, the eight veins of the strange meridians, and various acupoints in his body have already been opened, and there is no need to spend time and effort to get through them again. Moreover, he had already been a master of martial arts before, and he knew a lot of key points and principles in cultivation, so he started practicing from scratch, which can really be said to be a strategic position. In addition, he also has various auxiliary cultivation methods such as the "Yi Tendon Forging Bone Method" in the "Nine Yin True Scripture" and the "Breathing and Breathing Technique" in the "Quanzhen Internal Strength", plus his own qualifications are not bad, at least at the upper middle level.
These advantages are all combined, and the speed at which he can practice the nine-layer divine skill of the "Jiuyang True Scripture" is not as good as Zhang Wuji's half-sized boy who had a very poor martial arts foundation at that time, so he might as well just find a piece of tofu and crash it to death. So. There's really nothing to be complacent about in this regard, it's just a matter of course.
After making a comparison with Zhang Wuji and coming to a conclusion, Yin Zhiping didn't think about anything more. Instead, he got up and down from the cross-legged cloud bed, ready to go out of the cave and wander around the mountains at will.
The cave where he lives now was obtained from the old Taoist priest whose Taoist name was Dongxiao Zhenren, who his two Taoist boys originally served, and after he helped the two Taoist boys bury the old Taoist three years ago, he took over the two Taoist children together with this cave mansion.
This cave is a naturally formed cave with some artificial carvings. It has been operated by the old road for several years, and it is very clean and tidy, and there is an underground stream flowing through the cave, and it has formed a small waterfall from a high place.
The cave is quite large. The height is two zhang, the width is more than three zhang, and the depth is nearly five zhang. It is a gourd shape with a small front and a large back. Because of its shape, Dongxiao Lao Dao ordered it to be "Linghu Cave".
After Yin Zhiping received it. It has not been modified. Including the two Taoist boys, he did not change them. still follow the old road of Dongxiao for them, one hugs Pu, and the other is clumsy.
Several stone chambers were excavated in the cave because of the shape of the place, and Yin Zhiping, Bao Pu, and Shou Clumsy each had one each. In front of the stone room, there is a heavy wooden door as a block. Yin Zhiping's daily cultivation or retreat is in his own cave. However, Yin Zhiping's room was dug by himself later, and it was built at the highest point in the cave, which was far away from the stone chambers below, and it was also larger.
After getting off the cloud bed, Yin Zhiping walked to the door, opened the wooden door in the stone room, stood on the platform in front of the door and glanced at the cave below, and found that Bao Pu and Shou Er Daotong were not in the cave. He was not surprised, but he jumped lightly, landed at the bottom of the cave, and walked out of the cave.
Only when he was in retreat for a long time, he would ask at least one of them to be in the cave at all times to deal with any unexpected situations. For example, being accidentally intruded by outsiders or wild beasts shocked him to retreat and practice. When he practiced on weekdays, he would not be so rigidly demanding, and the two of them could leave the cave at will and do something else. He estimated that at this time, the two of them would either practice outside the cave, or play in the mountains, chasing birds and beasts, and picking some wild fruits by the way.
During the three years of seclusion in Wudang Mountain, although he was still dressed as a Taoist priest, and he also studied some Taoist classics left by the old Taoist of Dongxiao on weekdays, and claimed to be a Taoist hermit when he met outsiders, but he would not strictly abide by the rules and precepts of Buddhism and be an ascetic as in the Quanzhen Sect. He did not avoid meat and fish, abstained from alcohol and meat, nor was he very strict with his own asceticism, and he was also gentle and generous in his treatment of simple and clumsy children, and did not suppress their youthful and playful nature.
He walked all the way out of the cave, but he didn't see Bao Pu and Shou Cun's two Daotongs, it seems that the two of them really went to play in the mountains. He turned his head to look aside, but saw that not far from the left side of the cave entrance, there was a hut made of mountain stones, and there were several vegetable patches opened up next to the hut, and some vegetables for daily consumption were planted, and a small courtyard was surrounded by a fence.
At this time, in the vegetable field in the courtyard, there was an old farmer about fifty years old with dark skin wielding a hoe. This old farmer was specially hired by Yin Zhiping, three years ago, the age of Baopu and Shou Clumsy Erdao Tong was too young, they were only thirteen years old, not only the strength was cautious and immature, many things could not be done, and he really couldn't bear to drive this kind of child labor.
So he hired such a widower who lived alone in a village near the bottom of the mountain, and hired him to cook on weekdays and go down the mountain from time to time to buy rice, noodles, vegetables and other things. Later, he cultivated a few plots of land and got this small vegetable garden to grow vegetables by himself, but it was also his own idea. He worked and contributed by himself, and sometimes the two Daotongs who held Pu and Shou were clumsy helped him, but Yin Zhiping didn't pay much attention to it. He only paid his wages every month, and he didn't bother with the rest. This old man's surname is He, Yin Zhiping, Bao Pu, and Shou Clumsy, and they call him "Lao He" on weekdays.
"Yin Zhenren!"
At this time, Lao He turned around after hoeing and his party, and saw Yin Zhiping out of the cave, and hurriedly lowered his hoe and saluted Yin Zhi.
Yin Zhiping nodded in response, and didn't say much. Turning his head to look at the sun, which was already hanging to the west, he then looked out at the mountain scenery. (To be continued......)
