Chapter 5 The Functions of the Talisman
On a branch road not far from home, Lao Mai suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his limbs, as if it was caused by the impact of the wet and cold breath, so he was a little flustered, quickly accelerated the accelerator, and sped away to his residence.
He finally parked his motorcycle in his chicken house (the lowest floor of the local old-fashioned brick and concrete house is all divided into utility rooms, commonly known as chicken houses, one for each household), and the iron gate did not have time to be locked, and he even forgot to pull out the car keys, turned around and rushed home.
Lao Mai already felt a severe pain all over his body, trembling and feeling out the key to the door, he couldn't insert it into the keyhole several times, and finally reluctantly opened the door, and fell headlong on the floor at the bottom of the hall, and actually remembered to stretch out his foot and kick the door shut.
The floor at the bottom of his hall is paved with old-fashioned stepped bricks, which have long been worn out and uneven, and many of the brick surfaces have been somewhat concave in the center.
Lao Mai folded his arms, trembling and curled up on the floor, rolling left and right from time to time, clenching his teeth to prevent the sound from coming out, he still had some reason in his heart, he couldn't tell his neighbors about his adventure today, and he had to beware of the wall having ears.
There are a few slippery little snakes swimming in its own twelve meridians, and occasionally turning to other vein routes along the eight meridians of the strange meridians, like a mining drill expanding the original thin meridians.
All this made Lao Mai feel the pain of piercing his heart, and his whole body was like passing through many hemp ropes, pulling everywhere in his body, which was really unbearable.
Eventually, he felt the pain grow bigger and bigger, until his eyes went dark and he passed out unconscious......
When Lao Mai finally woke up, he opened his eyes and saw the night light scattered outside the window, but he didn't know what time it was.
He moved his limbs and felt that there was no obstacle to his movements, so he slowly sat up with his arms propped up, but he felt weak and couldn't stand up, so he had to sit with his legs stretched out on the spot.
Lao Mai took a few breaths, and suddenly recalled that when he was in college, he had seen a yellowed traditional vertical typesetting booklet on a roadside stall, called "Honorary Records of Practicing Qigong Meridian Routes".
At that time, it was the era when the new school of martial arts novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan was popular, and books that had a little bit of martial arts practice would be very attractive.
He squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and found that it was a big fallacy to refute the martial arts novelist's statement that the two meridians of Ren Du were opened to achieve the innate truth, and that the twelve meridians of the human body, at most, plus the two meridians of Ren Du, are fourteen canons, and there are eight strange meridians that connect the twelve meridians, and the normal human body is through, and there is no blockage.
The so-called cultivation of internal strength, but the route is different, the expression of the exercise is different, the only role is to expand the veins, accommodate the internal qi, store the dantian, walk the limbs, etc., at that time, the old wheat grass grass read it, only put into a smile, the words of the family are not enough to dry.
Looking back now, it seems to make a little sense, compared to this time when I inhaled the wet and cool breath of the old fabric, and wandered around the limbs, it seemed to be very similar.
Think about the last few sentences of the booklet, which says that the twelve meridians and the eight strange meridians are normally connected, and the eight points of the limbs can be practiced to attract external qi into the body, and the internal qi can be released externally, and the innate body can be restored.
Lao Mai then felt his own condition, and found that there was a slight feeling of wetness and coolness in the eight points of his limbs, faintly inhaling, and then opened his right palm, and pushed the curtain in the evening breeze, the curtain was naturally unmoved, but there seemed to be a heat in his palm to overflow.
He was stunned in his heart, could it be that he woke up from a coma this time and had already achieved the innate body, or at least stepped into the innate threshold, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of joy, and said in his heart: "Could it be that I had an adventure and suddenly became a qigong master?"
Lao Mai has experienced the arduous process of "sticking to the navel and treating hemorrhoids", and feels that he has a style of qigong master, remembering that practicing qigong requires cross-knee meditation, so he sat cross-legged, and actually found that he was not difficult to sit cross-legged at all.
Lao Mai meditated for a while, suddenly sniffled, smelled a foul smell, and hurriedly looked around, looking for where the source of the smell was, reflecting the night light, but saw that his clothes were wet, as if full of greasy conditions, and he didn't feel a bone crawling up.
As soon as he stretched out his hand to open the fluorescent lamp at the bottom of the hall, he saw that his body was covered with greasy dirt, and the clothes he was wearing seemed to have not been washed for several years.
Lao Mai held his breath, didn't take a change of underwear, kicked off his shoes and went directly into the bathroom, turned on the water heater, but forgot to open the gas tank valve first, and vigorously washed it against the most violent cold water flow.
After a long time, he finally washed and dried his body and came out, and looked at himself by the fluorescent lamp, and found that his skin had regained a warm luster, and after the forty years passed, his skin began to sag, and some dark brown spots that had gradually grown had disappeared without a trace.
Lao Mai thought happily: "It's worthy of an adventure, we seem to have also become an innate master of martial arts, and we will begin to discharge dirt and toxins from our bodies." ”
Then I regretted a little that I had bought that mimeographed booklet in the first place, or I would have had the pages to refer to it now.
He thought about it, then meditated cross-legged again on the brick floor at the bottom of the hall, naturally absorbing the damp and cool breath of the outside world, and continued to think about what happened this day and night.
That piece of old cloth that is not paper or silk is actually a foreign body, and the breath emitted by sticking to the navel can improve one's physique and restore one's body to the baby's congenital fetal breath state.
"Congenital fetal breath?" Old Mai suddenly thought of something, and immediately held his breath.
I saw that there was a warm breath in the body escaping from the dantian in the lower abdomen, slowly following the twelve meridians and the eight strange meridians to flow, and then returning to the dantian, thus forming a natural cycle, and the damp and cool breath absorbed from the outside faintly replenished the qi in the meridians, gradually thickening and strengthening this cycle process.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, did not feel a little stuffy, looked at the watch was almost five o'clock in the morning, and thought: "Is this the meditation, it has been more than an hour, and I don't have to breathe and it's fine, isn't it okay to dive and fish at any time!"
Lao Mai subconsciously touched the fabric on his belly, and found that it was naturally absorbed, and he could tear it off with a light peel, so he ripped it off and took it in his hand to look at it.
He suddenly felt that there was some more stream-of-consciousness content in his mind, not specific words, and the divine thoughts or divine consciousness could automatically decompose the meaning.
The meaning is vaguely that this strange piece of cloth is called rune skin, it is a kind of inheritance rune carrier of cultivation content, and the outermost layer is dedicated to the energy of the inheritor to break through the innate body, which will automatically fuse and absorb, cut the hair and wash the marrow, and re-transport the fetal breath, so that people can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, enter the meridians of the human body, and then transform from the dantian into true yuan power, which can also be collectively referred to as spiritual power and mana.
Immediately afterwards, there was a blur in front of him, and the characters on the fabric flew towards his face like staves, and suddenly he had already entered his mind, feeling that his scalp was tight, and the characters were wandering in his mind by himself, and when he looked at it again, there was another batch of characters on the cloth, but it was gray and dim.
The characters floating in the brain slowly convey a kind of stream of consciousness, just like the human brain in a movie, its connotation is still gradual, and it is not fully displayed, and it is not yet possible to understand the meaning for the time being.
Lao Mai realized that this piece of material was not a fabric, but a talisman skin, which was like a photoelectric book that would convey affection.
Those characters are a kind of rune, that is, the rune characters of the cultivation realm, which enter the sea of human consciousness, not to see with the eyes, but to comprehend through the decomposition of divine consciousness and divine consciousness.
The runes flying in his mind were decomposed, some of them slowly faded, revealing a lot of vague meanings, and there was also a picture of the human body that looked like a 3D diagram, and then, the warm breath circulating in his body automatically flowed along the meridians in the diagram.
Lao Mai already understood the content of it, which meant that this was a first-layer exercise of the soil system, which was only suitable for pure earth people to cultivate, and it could be called the earth aura absorption and operation exercise.
Once this exercise is urged by manpower to run for a week, it will run automatically, absorbing the spiritual energy of the outside world day and night, and storing it in the dantian to transform it into true yuan power for one's own cultivation.
Lao Mai remembered that he wanted to try the internal qi just now, and the action when he hit the curtains, he was a little anxious to wait for the rest of the Fu Culture to understand for himself.
When the sky outside the window was bright, the remaining runes were finally dissolved, and two other exercises were formed, one is the Qi Collection Method of the Four Limbs and Eight Acupoints, which is a supplement to the absorption of the earth aura, and you can take the initiative to absorb the external earth aura through the eight acupoints of the human body at the same time, and incorporate it into the meridians of your own body.
Another exercise is the Qi Guarding Body Exercise, which says that the human body is first restored to the innate body, and the skin, flesh and bones are as weak as a newborn baby, and it is necessary to operate the exercises to release the true yuan force and form a protective air film on the body surface to protect oneself from accidental injury.
At this time, the electronic clock in the bedroom suddenly rang, and Lao Mai listened to it, it was the alarm clock that usually wakes up in the morning, and then looked at the wall clock on the wall It was already pointing to seven o'clock in the morning.
He took a long breath, and there was actually a white smoke puffing out, and he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that if he often spewed smoke in a crowded place, wouldn't it be a monster, well, when doing this habitual action in the future, you should pay attention.
Although I had breakfast yesterday morning, it is almost a day and a night now, and my stomach does not feel hungry at all, Lao Mai stood up at this moment and looked around, and suddenly felt cold all around, and looked down to see that he was really like a newborn baby, not an inch, and he went in to take a bath without taking clothes just now, and he came out naked.
He covered his crotch in a panic and ran into the bedroom to find clothes to wear, fortunately the curtains at the bottom of the hall were mostly covered, otherwise he had been active here for half a day and one night, and he would have already leaked the spring light to the family members and aunts and sisters of the residents in the opposite building outside the window.
