"There are two initial foundations, one is clearing emptiness, and the other is detachment. If you can clear emptiness, there will be no obstacles. If you can detach it, there will be no obstacles. Without obstacles and obstacles, you can enter and exit concentration. Knowing this, you can enter the path. There is a foundation, and what it says is that clearing the qi is the marrow cleansing, and removing the changes is the muscle-changing."
The changes of the sun and the moon seem to never stop, and the stars change, painting one star map after another, implying the truth of the world, but overlooking the vicissitudes of the world.
Gu Chen stayed on Bald Mountain for a night. This desolate and lonely mountain gradually lost the attention of the busy people and fell into silence. In this silent night, the leader's voice was extremely clear and reached Gu Chen's ears. Listening to his words, Gu Chen fell into deep thought.
During this short period of time together, General Kui taught Gu Chen his cultivation technique. It was a meridian cultivation method, and it was not so much a technique as it was his innate magical power, because it was his innate magical power. Innate and used by chance.
Kui Jiang himself is a mountain spirit. He is close to the earth and away from the water by nature, but he is also full of curiosity about things in the water. Once he accidentally saw a snake coming from the land into the water on the shore, so he wanted to observe the water snake. Before he could react, he , has allowed himself to merge with the body of the water snake, with the meridians connected and the energy shared.
The two meridians did not interfere with each other and complemented each other, which greatly improved the general's abilities and shocked Gu Chen at that moment.
If the root cause of the severance of the path to immortality lies in the severance of the immortal veins and the incompleteness of the meridians in the human body, then if the meridians can be completed, can a path to immortality be opened?
Gu Chen doesn't know if his idea is correct. However, although the road to immortality is closed, there are many outstanding people in the world. In fact, many people are already exploring this road. For example, the way of imitating pulses is one of them. The cultivation of pulse requires a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and they are all rare and hard to find. It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain them. The general's cultivation method also makes Gu Chen feel that it is a little difficult.
"The theory of marrow cleansing means that when a person is born with sexual desires, once they fall into the tangible body, and all the internal organs and limbs are stained by the filth, they must be washed clean, without a single flaw, before they can step beyond the ordinary and enter the door of the holy. This means that there is no foundation for advancing. The person who cleans the marrow wants to clear the inside, and the person who changes the tendons wants to strengthen the outside. If you can be quiet on the inside and strong on the outside, if you can reach the longevity zone between the ears on the back of your hands, there is no need to worry about failure. "
Gu Chen murmured and shook his head slightly. Since people are born with feelings, if they deliberately cut off feelings, it would not be the right way in his opinion. In addition, General Kui knew about this method but did not know why. It can be applied but has no theoretical basis. , Gu Chen needs to organize and analyze it himself to form a method that can be practiced by himself and even others, but he doesn't know if this explanation is completely correct.
The general was a little confused. He couldn't understand Gu Chen's troubles and said, "You can do it as long as you think about it. It's not difficult in itself. What are you worried about?"
Gu Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Kui General, we are different. People are very complicated. The meridians accompanying their birth limit their growth. They are also rich in emotions and have many desires. But you were born as a monster, with pure thoughts and no The limitations of the meridians mean that a single thought can open up the meridians in the body. However, human meridians are naturally fragile and easily damaged, and can cause harm if they act recklessly. Moreover, a single thought can cause desires to arise, which is incompatible with this Dharma."
The general was even more confused.
Gu Chen knew that he couldn't understand it, and he didn't force it. As long as Kui Jiang remained like this, it was the most suitable for him. However, Gu Chen still needed to think more about this method.
It is said that human beings are the best of all things. Gu Chen feels that monsters like Kui Jiang are uniquely endowed. Those advanced skills are their innate magical powers that they are born with. They can master them without learning, while others can't learn them even if they want to. You may not be able to learn it.
"Tenns are the meridians of the human body. Outside the joints, within the muscles, and throughout the limbs, there are no tendons, no meridians, or collaterals. They connect the whole body, pass the blood vessels, and supplement the spirit. For example, a person's shoulders can bear, The ability of the hands to capture, the ability of the feet to walk, and the ability of the whole body to be lively and agile are all due to the strength of the muscles."
Although Gu Chen was analyzing his own innate magical power, and logically speaking, he should be the most familiar with this method, but listening to Gu Chen's whispers, the general felt that he did not understand a word, so naturally he could only say a few words. He didn't listen to the words, he just sat quietly next to Gu Chen and watched over Gu Chen.
One was sitting and the other was deep in thought. Gu Chen, who could not continue his thoughts, would chat with General Kui from time to time and ask General Kui to demonstrate his innate magical power. Then he seemed to suddenly realize it and fell into deep thought again. But this time, Gu Chen was silent for a long time.
"Using the meridians of other species to supplement... No, it should be said to expand the meridians of one's own. However, the two have different origins. How can the two be combined into one, so that they can complement each other without affecting each other?"
Gu Chen is worrying about this problem. Humans are not monsters like Captain. If they have contact with other species rashly, they may be distorted. In addition, this method may have hidden dangers, and it may not always bring good things. result.
Gu Chen's train of thought reached a dead end and his thoughts returned to reality.
It was late at night, and the sky was full of stars. Because Gu Chen didn't talk to him for a long time, General Kui was bored after sitting for a long time, so he started practicing under the moonlight. Motionless, he was like a huge boulder on the bald mountain, vaguely connected to the whole mountain. Bald Mountain merged into one, Gu Chen's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the leader carefully.
I saw Kui Jiang blending into the night, blending into the world, and connecting with Bald Mountain. A mountain-shaped meridians in his body extended straight down, all over Bald Mountain.
"It turns out that the mountain also has meridians. Those are the meridians of the mountain. If you have the meridians, you can practice cultivation. You can swallow the essence of the sun and the moon and become refined over time. That's why Kuei Jiang exists."
Gu Chen thought thoughtfully and said: "The essence of the sun and the flower of the lunar yin, the two qi blend together to transform all things."
I remember Qingyangzi told him some contents written by immortals, and there seems to be a passage like this: "The ancients who were good at swallowing have become immortals for a long time. The secrets of their methods are unknown to the world. Even if they have close friends, they have no firm will, and Without perseverance, it is a vain thing, and there are few people who have achieved success."
"In addition to the treasures of heaven and earth, the things that the ancients swallowed may be the essence of the sun and the moon. In fact, the immortal cultivators in the world have been imitating the spirits since the beginning. The spirits themselves are the signposts on the road to becoming immortals."
Gu Chen was startled by his bold idea, but he did not stop thinking about it. His artistic conception suddenly broadened and he became excited because he had such an idea.
"Anyone who practices internal practice, from the beginning to success, and throughout his life, should not worry about busyness or external affairs. If he practices the power of swallowing without interruption, it will not be difficult to achieve the path to immortality."
Gu Chen said, fell silent, and then murmured: "It's not difficult to achieve the path of immortality..."
He closed his eyes and let his thoughts go. His whole person entered an ethereal state, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth. The moonlight shone on his body, seeming to illuminate the meridians in his body. They were a pair of sword-shaped meridians. Those sword-shaped meridians It extends faintly and is connected with the veins of Bald Mountain. It is like a sword stuck in the mountain, waiting for someone to come and pull it out.
At the end of the night, dawn comes.
Almost at the same time, Gu Chen and Kui Jiang opened their eyes, and Kui Jiang looked at Gu Chen with some surprise.
"Have you finished practicing?"
Gu Chen nodded and said: "But my state is somewhat similar to yours. I can use it, but I can't fully understand it."
General Kui wondered: "Since it's good if you can use it, why do you have to understand it?"
Gu Chen told him frankly: "I have a friend who lost half of his meridians while trying to save me. I think this method might be useful to him, so I have to understand it first before I can teach him."
After hearing this, General Kui said sincerely: "I hope this method will be useful to him."
If it weren't for General Kui, he would probably not be able to pass this skill on to others easily, but General Kui had no selfish intentions at all. If it weren't for Gu Chen, he would probably be surprised after hearing General Kui's words, but Gu Chen There was no trouble on his face, he just felt that this was a matter of course.
Although they have known each other for a short time, they have already become close to each other. They don't know yet that just because of their acquaintance, they will eventually take each other on completely different paths. In the end, this world will be reborn because of them.
