In the early morning, Shu Guan left the half building in high spirits and went to find his master to learn Taoism.
At dusk, Shu Guan dragged his tired body back to the half building.
Learning Taoism is really laborious!
This was his biggest feeling after learning Taoism for a day.
Just sitting cross-legged like that for a day was a bit too much for his current body. The master looked as if nothing had happened, but he had been a Taoist priest for more than 150 years, and he was only on his first day. Maybe this was the difference. Bar.
Compared with physical strength, mental energy is consumed more.
At first, it was fine to hear the common sense about Taoism. Shu Guan thought it was just chatting with his master. But when Li Zhixia officially started to teach him the Nine Turns of Pure Yang technique, the torture started.
What is "Jing Qi Shen", what is "Yellow Buds and White Snow", what is "Jiang Palace Yellow Room", what is "Baby Maiden", what is "Chonglou Xuanguan"... just these terms are bound to The sight made me dizzy.
In addition, there are other practices such as "rubbing the navel to relieve qi", "adjusting herbs and collecting herbs", "making peace between heaven and earth", "moving the mind to change the tripod", and "nurturing kindness with clay pills". Watching suddenly confused.
In Shu Guan's previous life, he was considered a smart man, but he was by no means a genius. His IQ was slightly higher than the average level of the general public.
So even though he memorized everything Li Zhixia taught him today, he still managed to understand it.
But it was really reluctant. When he walked out of Master Li Zhixia's residence, Shu Guan felt that his whole body was dizzy.
When he came down from the top of the cliff, Shu Guan saw Uncle Qi sitting outside the door of Daozang Pavilion, and ran over to say hello.
Uncle Qi opened his old eyes and smiled strangely at him for a while.
After knowing what happened when he became possessed, Shu Guan believed that Master Qi was definitely a figure before.
A person who is on the verge of going crazy can make a quick decision and use kung fu to restore his mind. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
After saying hello to Senior Uncle Qi, Shu Guan returned to Banpianlou and met Fifth Senior Brother An Zichun on the way.
"Seventh Junior Brother, where did you learn the kung fu from your master?"
"Yes, fifth senior brother, the master asked me to retreat and induce energy starting tomorrow."
"Then Seventh Junior Brother, you should practice hard and strive to succeed in channeling Qi as soon as possible."
"Goodbye, Fifth Senior Brother."
"Goodbye, Seventh Junior Brother."
After saying goodbye to Fifth Senior Brother An Zichun, Shu Guan returned to his half-story building. After having dinner, he took a nap to regain his energy. Then he followed the master's instructions and left at almost eleven o'clock in the night. Entered the quiet room on the second floor.
Because Li Zhixia had confessed that at 11 o'clock in the night, which is Zishi, it is the time when the yin and yang of heaven and earth meet, and he will take the yin and yang avenue in the future, so this time is the most suitable to practice Qigong.
Entering the quiet room, there is only one sitting table with a futon placed on it.
Thinking about himself and sitting on a futon all day long, and now he has to sit on a futon again just after taking a break, Shu Guan felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know when he would get used to being a Taoist priest.
Then he stepped onto the stone platform and sat down cross-legged, recalling in his mind the first level of the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung taught to him by his master during the day.
According to Li Zhixia, the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung was really an amazing skill in the era of the Fifth Yuanhui and the Sixth Yuanhui. The technique had nine levels in total, so it was called Nine Turns of Pure Yang. Yang Gong.
The first level corresponds to the first level of Qi-entraining stage of practice.
The second level corresponds to the initial acquaintance stage.
The third layer corresponds to the fetal movement period.
The fourth level corresponds to the Nascent Soul stage.
The fifth level corresponds to the divine stage. Practitioners in this realm are also called land gods and are considered true immortals.
The sixth level corresponds to the immortals.
As for what realm each of the subsequent seventh, eighth and ninth levels corresponds to, the Kung Fu book that Shu Guan got did not say, and there was no specific formula for the Kung Fu formulas, because Lu Zu founded the Thirty-Six in the World. When he entered the Taoist temple, he only reached the sixth floor.
In the first stage of Qi-entraining practice, you use various techniques that suit you to introduce the spiritual energy from heaven and earth into your body. If it can eventually stabilize in your body and form a cycle of its own, it will be considered as a true success in entraining Qi.
When preaching during the day, Li Zhixia also told Shu Guan that this Qi-entraining period is the most difficult and easiest step in practice.
The difficulty lies in the fact that most people in this world cannot truly successfully induce Qi. Just like Taoist Chen, the master of Taiyi Temple, he has worked hard all his life, but in the end he has not been able to truly take this step.
But for those who have the talent for cultivation, this is the easiest level on the path to immortality. It is said that in ancient times, some geniuses could successfully induce Qi in just a few breaths.
And by the fifth and sixth Yuanhui, those with excellent talents can successfully draw Qi within a few hours to a few days.
"But today is different from the past. Back then, it took me three months and six days to successfully induce Qi. But now among your senior brothers in Guan Nei, the one who succeeded the fastest in guiding Qi is your sixth senior brother, who took four months. Eighteen days ago, if it were a hundred years ago, Lao Liu's talent would actually be higher than that of Shi Shi."
"As for Lao Qi, you can see the Seven Spirit Grasses before you practice, which means that you can already feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Then you may be able to successfully attract Qi faster than Lao Liu!"
Shu Guan himself didn't have much confidence in his master's expectations for him.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Shu Guan closed his eyes and muttered something in his mind:
"Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, hold your Yuan and keep one, breathe first nine shallow and one deep, then three shallow and two deep, then three deep and two shallow, it should be heavy and soft... Huh, Huh, Huh, Huh~huh~..."
Shu Guan began to adjust his breathing rhythm according to the breathing and breathing method that was commonly used when building the foundation of any exercise that Li Zhixia taught him and memorized several times during the day.
"This is the most basic breathing and breathing method for practitioners, and it can help you enter the state of practice that holds the essence and maintains oneness as quickly as possible."
At that time, Li Zhixia said this in a particularly emphatic tone.
Just like the head teacher of Shuguan in his previous life said meaningfully to the students in the class: Focus on the key points and take the test here.
Shuguan kept changing his breathing rhythm. At first, he felt a little uncomfortable, because it was really uncomfortable for normal people to breathe like this.
But after a while, Shuguan gradually got used to this rhythm, and then he felt that this rhythm was a bit familiar.
It was as if something related to this rhythm had been with him for many years.
"Hoo, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho... ho, ho, ho, ho, ho..."
The feeling of familiarity is getting stronger and stronger.
Along with that familiar feeling, a sense of sleepiness also began to arise in his body.
He had obviously just caught up on his sleep, so why did he feel sleepy again so soon... Shu Guan was a little puzzled.
But it was this feeling of sleepiness that made Shu Guan finally remember why he felt familiar with this breathing rhythm.
...the old cripple...the old cripple's snores...
Such a thought flashed through Shu Guan's mind like lightning.
For many years, Shu Guan slept in the same room as the old lame man. From the beginning he was held by the old cripple to sleep, and later he slept in separate beds, but he always slept in the same room.
Because Shuguan liked to fall asleep listening to the old cripple's snoring. He could always fall asleep quickly and sleep very peacefully amidst the old cripple's snoring.
Like this moment.
……Very sleepy……
Then Shuguan fell asleep.
Still sitting cross-legged on the futon, he fell into the deepest sleep.
The snoring of the old cripple seemed to ring in his ears again.
…
I don't know how long I slept for, but Shu Guan slowly opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
It's true that I can even fall asleep while practicing... It seems that in my previous life, I still had the magic ability of sitting up straight in class but being able to nap.
But is it true that I am not suitable for cultivation at all?
Shu Guan was a little disappointed.
Forget it, let’s try again.
Then he closed his eyes and prepared to start breathing again.
The next moment, Shu Guan suddenly opened his eyes again.
Because when he looked inside intently just now, he found that there was something extra in his body.
It was a warm current flowing up and down his body.
It starts from Baihui, passes through Dantian, Magpie Bridge and Chonglou, then goes straight down from the middle Dantian to the lower Dantian, passing through the perineum, Weilu, Mingmen, Jiaozhi, Dazhui, Jade Pillow, and then returns to Baihui.
Is that spiritual power?
If it is spiritual power, this spiritual power has already formed a small cycle in his body just now.
According to Master Li Zhixia, this is a sign of truly succeeding in entraining qi and entering the realm of a practitioner.
So... I took a nap... and then succeeded in entraining qi?
At this moment, Shu Guan sat on the futon in a daze, not feeling the joy of successfully entraining the Qi, but just a little at a loss, a little unbelievable, and even a little weird.
Until something even weirder happened.
That's when he suddenly heard someone calling him. It was a sweet and a bit feminine voice of a girl.
"elder brother!"
Shu Guan was instantly frightened and his hair stood on end.
Have you gone crazy?
