After Cheng Ling had chosen a wing to rest, the old man took him around the Taoist temple. Finally, he came to an attic and said, "This is the library of my formation hall. There are There are many formation books and some cultivation techniques that you can choose to practice!"
Cheng Ling said: "Master, please tell me your name, otherwise I won't know how to call you. Also, I don't know much about the cultivation techniques, so please choose a book for me!"
The old man nodded, selected a book in the attic, and said: "My master's name is Xuan Lingzi. This "Phaseless Skill" is an excellent Qi training method in the sect. You can practice it first."
"How to practice?"
Xuan Lingzi paused and asked, "Have you ever practiced the Qi-Entraining Technique before?"
"No!"
"Well, it seems that your talent for cultivating Taoism is not high. I will teach you how to practice tomorrow morning! It's late today. You should study the book on Taoism for a while and then go to bed early!"
After saying that, he left.
Cheng Ling felt vaguely that he had something important to ask, but he couldn't remember it for a while. I could only choose a book "Basic Formation" in the library and returned to my room.
After returning to the wing, Cheng Ling opened the "Basic Formation" to see what the formation was about. Fortunately, after opening it, I still knew the words, but I could barely understand the content inside.
He knew the "Twenty-Eight Constellations", which seemed to be related to astronomy, but what were the "Six Lords of the South Dou" and the "Seven Numbers of the East"? He was not a star researcher, so how could he understand them.
He put the "Basic Formation" aside and then opened the "Phaseless Technique" to read. Who knew that at first glance, he was even more confused. He didn't know what to say about "five hearts facing the sky", "three essences transforming into qi", "one long and three short", and "introducing qi into the body". .
After thinking hard for a long time, it seems to be similar to some internal power in martial arts novels. Is this cultivation of internal power? Then you must keep your childish nature! He is only eight years old now. In his previous life, he lost his virginity when he was eighteen. Cheng Ling asks himself whether he can hold on for another ten years!
But can this "Phaseless Skill" work? I remember that the most powerful one is the "Nine Yang Magic". The old Taoist Zhang Sanfeng can still hold up the sky when he is over 100 years old. Do you want to go back and see if there is such a skill?
While thinking wildly in his mind, he suddenly felt hungry in his belly. Suddenly I remembered what that very important thing was.
good! That was eating. The old man didn't tell him where to eat, and there was no kitchen in the Taoist temple. Cheng Ling went crazy and searched everywhere in the Taoist temple, but could not find Xuan Lingzi at all.
Nowadays, it is already dark, the mountain road is very narrow, the path is unfamiliar, and I dare not go down the mountain easily to find food. He had no choice but to tighten his belt so that he could not feel the emptiness in his stomach. After returning to the private room, he hypnotized himself vigorously and fell asleep in a daze.
In my sleep, I was chewing on a large bowl of chicken legs when I suddenly felt a shaking and I quickly opened my eyes. Looking out the window, I saw that the sky was already dim and bright. The old man was shaking himself and said: "Ling'er, get up and follow me to do your morning lessons!"
Cheng Ling hurriedly climbed up, grabbed Xuan Lingzi's hand, and said, "Master, you are finally back. Where were you last night? This disciple has been looking for you for a long time!"
Xuan Lingzi felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that Cheng Ling would become so attached to him after being his master and apprentice for just one day. It felt so good. In the past, I only focused on comprehending the formation path and cultivating. I had no relatives or disciples. I have been alone for hundreds of years. For the first time, I felt the admiration of my descendants.
He said warmly: "Ling'er, master went down the mountain yesterday to ask for some pills to help you practice. He never explained it to you. Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" After saying that, he gently stroked Cheng Ling's head a few times. .
"Master, you didn't even tell me where to find food. My disciples have been hungry all night!"
"Uh...!" It turns out I'm hungry!
Xuan Lingzi shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said: "Master, I will take you to do morning lessons first, let's go!" After that, he pulled Cheng Ling straight towards the outside of the Taoist temple.
Cheng Lin endured the hunger in her belly and had no choice but to follow him.
After walking for a while, the two of them came to a cliff. Xuan Lingzi sat down cross-legged, glanced at Cheng Ling, and closed his eyes.
Cheng Ling also knew the opportunity and sat cross-legged and listened to him say: "Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the form of one long and three short, carrying it around the sky, and storing the spiritual energy in the body, this is Qi refining."
Cheng Ling was confused and asked: "Master, this disciple doesn't understand!"
Xuan Lingzi opened his eyes and wondered: "Don't understand? Have you never practiced before?"
Cheng Ling was shocked and said hurriedly: "I don't know. A few days ago, I was severely beaten by those handyman disciples and lay in bed for three days. Later, my mother also died. There were many things that happened to me. I can’t even remember it.”
"After you were injured, you suffered a lot of stimulation. It's obvious that your soul was damaged, poor child. Don't be afraid, no one will bully you as a teacher, and you will slowly recover in the future." Xuan Lingzi With a look of pity on his face, Haosheng comforted him.
Cheng Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting over it. Then he said: "Master, I am really hungry. Can you eat something first?"
Xuan Lingzi shook his head and said: "My Taoism is based on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The whole grains that people eat will produce impurities in the body, which will affect the aptitude for Taoism."
"What is absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"
"Use one long and three short breathing methods to take the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body. One long means inhaling for a long time, and three short means exhaling turbid air for a short time. This is the basis of cultivation. You can do it again as a teacher. .”
Cheng Ling saw his breathing pattern and couldn't help but be speechless. Can this air be eaten? Can you really take care of yourself? But he was helpless, looking at the old man's posture, it was obvious that he was teaching himself carefully. He had no choice but to follow Xuan Lingzi.
After persisting like this for more than half an hour, the hunger in my belly was unbearable, so I had to say again: "Master, no, I am too hungry. I need to find something to eat first."
Xuan Lingzi shook his head with a wry smile, took out a pill, and said, "Well, after taking this pill, you won't feel hungry."
Cheng Ling was doubtful, but he was really hungry, so he didn't care. He took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to feel satisfied in my stomach, and I was no longer hungry.
He calmed down and asked, "Master, what do you mean by five hearts pointing to the sky?"
"The five hearts are the heavenly heart on the top of the head, the palms of the hands, and the hearts of the feet."
"Where are the three essences transformed into qi?"
"People who practice Taoism classify the energy in the human body into essence, qi, and spirit. They are Yuanjing, which mostly refers to the qi of reproduction. Qi is the absorbed spiritual energy, and god is the soul. Refining qi, refining qi, and refining spirit, and refining qi to become god. Xu, this is the basic technique of cultivating Taoism!"
Cheng Ling secretly thought, no wonder it is said that the cultivation of a boy's body is more powerful. It turns out that essence is the foundation! He asked casually: "Master, are you a boy?"
Xuan Lingzi paused, this kid knows a lot, does he know the magical effects of being a boy at such a young age? He nodded and said: "I have practiced Taoism all my life as a teacher and have never been lewd by women. Naturally, I am a boy!"
"May I ask how old your master is?"
"In five years, I will be eight hundred years old!"
"What!" Cheng Ling asked in shock, "Master, you are eight hundred years old? Can people like you live that long?"
"No, the ultimate goal of practicing Taoism is to live forever, and lifespan is also related to the level of Taoism. A teacher's cultivation level can only live up to eight hundred years old."
"What? Master, you mean you only have five years to live?"
"Yes, according to my past teacher's temperament, you were so lazy that I ignored you a long time ago. But now that my life is about to end, I want to teach you everything I have learned in the past few years, and also lay a good foundation for you to practice Taoism. , So Ling'er, never let me down!"
Cheng Ling felt sour in her heart, remembering her father's sincere words when he left home. Gradually, sparkling eyes flashed, and he nodded cautiously: "Yes, master, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations!"
Xuan Lingzi nodded happily and said, "Okay, then let's continue and practice the basic Taoist cultivation techniques first. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time!"
"Yes!" This time, Cheng Ling's attitude became more serious. In just five years, he would lose his backer. If he wanted to survive in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, he could only achieve success in cultivation!
He continued to take long and short breaths, and after a while he asked again: "Master, will your cultivation level decline if you lose your boyish body?"
"That's not the case. It's just that love in the world is just a bond. Except for some evil dual cultivation techniques, it is of no benefit to cultivation!"
"Is there really a dual cultivation method? How to practice it?" Cheng Ling's eyes lit up and he asked quickly!
Unexpectedly, Xuan Lingzi slapped him on the head without hesitation and cursed: "You little brat, why do you always care about the dual cultivation technique? I tell you that the Wuxiang Sword Sect does not have such a technique! Why don't you calm down?" , carefully sense whether there is a sense of Qi in the body!"
Cheng Ling was greatly disappointed and muttered to himself, I just wanted to try to see if it was possible to do it eight times a night after practicing...! But since I don’t have that kind of skill, I can only express my deep regret!
Finally, he calmed down, collected his mind, and tried sensing his body. After a while, he asked again: "What is Qi sensing?"
Xuan Lingzi laughed angrily, this young disciple was really out of his mind and had no peace at all. It's just that I don't know if my life is approaching or if I fancy his talent, I always feel angry.
He explained helplessly: "The sense of Qi is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that you have absorbed and stored in your veins. It is warm and burrowing around inside like a little mouse. You have to guide it to carry it around!"
"What is Zhoutian portage?"
"The movement of the Zhoutian is to circulate the spiritual energy in the muscles and veins according to the route of the exercise, and finally return to the Dantian. This is considered a Zhoutian! Different exercises have different circulation routes. The more powerful the exercise, The more muscles and veins are involved, the more complicated the route will be!"
Cheng Ling followed Xuan Lingzi's words and carefully felt the little mouse in his veins. He didn't know how long it took before he finally felt a trace of warmth. He was greatly surprised and hurriedly started operating according to the route of the technique.
Seeing that he was concentrating, Xuan Lingzi closed his eyes and said, "After circulating the heavens, return the spiritual energy to the Dantian. How about it? You can feel it!"
After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a rushing sound and opened my eyes to look. Cheng Ling said sheepishly: "Master, I have a feeling of qi, but after turning around in a circle, I also feel a sense of urination. I have to finish peeing first!"
