The days passed day by day, and it was late December in the blink of an eye.
Lu Cheng finally opened up the second pulse of Ren and Du and completed the cultivation of "Pulse Refining Realm"!
That night, Lu Cheng went to another world again.
At this time, the winter in the other world is about to pass. The snow outside has become very shallow, exposing yellow soil and large tracts of dead grass. If you look closely, you can see small green shoots sprouting from the dead grass.
Looking up at the treetops, the bones of leaf buds have already emerged.
It won't be long before spring is coming.
Lu Cheng walked to Wu Ding Hall, found his fourth uncle Bai Luo, and said to him: "Fourth Uncle, I have opened up all the meridians in my body and completed the cultivation of the Pulse Refining Realm."
Bai Luo was quite surprised: "So fast? Take off your clothes and let me check!"
Lu Cheng took off his deerskin clothes and the linen clothes underneath, exposing all his skin.
Bai Luo took a jar of yellow-brown liquid and applied it on Lu Cheng's body. Only two minutes later, purple-red meridians appeared on the surface of the skin!
Lu Cheng was even more surprised than the other person: "Huh? Aren't the meridians invisible and intangible? Why do they appear on the surface of the skin? Fourth uncle, what is in this jar of yours?"
Bai Luo replied: "This is the blood of a five-hundred-year-old fire turtle."
"Ah? We have a fire turtle here?" He didn't ask what a fire turtle was, because he had already opened two seeds and knew the origin of the fire turtle. It was a turtle that grew on the edge of the lake of fire. Lives by eating fire ants.
"Yes, go northwest from here, and there is a lake of fire 70 miles away. You can find the fire turtle there. But your skill is too weak, so it is dangerous to go there."
Lu Cheng looked at the jar of liquid with envy and thought to himself: "You don't know. There is a big issue in the acupuncture profession in later generations, which is the question of whether the meridians exist. Long before the reform and opening up, this issue was once listed among the ten It is a major research project, but after many years of research there is no conclusion! What about low resistance, high vibration, and luminous meridians are all nonsense!"
Bai Luo carefully checked the meridians on Lu Cheng's body and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you have indeed completed the practice of the 'Pulse Refining Realm'. Next, you have to enter the second half of the tenth level of martial arts and practice the five internal organs of the liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney." Qi. At this stage, in addition to the basic 'Qi Nourishing Jue', there are also 'Heart Nourishing Jue' and 'Liver Nourishing Jue'... You also need to combine grains and take different elixirs, including Yangxin Pills and Liver Yang Pills... These pills are not many, I can't give them to you casually, according to the rules, you have to buy them with jade coins..."
Lu Cheng already knew a lot of what Bai Luo said. For example, "Heart Nourishing Jue" and "Liver Nourishing Jue" were lower-level exercises, which were used by ethnic groups like the Poi Yi tribe. In his mind There are also several sets of advanced exercises, one of which is called "Five Qi Guiyuan Jue", another is called "Five Qin Xi", and even a "Wu Xian Qin".
"Five Qi Guiyuan Jue" is an advanced version of "Qi Nourishing Jue", which can cultivate the qi of the five internal organs at the same time.
"Five-Animal Opera" is different from Hua Tuo's Five-Animal Opera, but imitates the sounds of five animals. Just like the "Hulu Pheasant" that Lu Cheng previously practiced on Qianfo Mountain, one of the movements is one of them.
"Wuxianqin" is a cultivation method that "enters the five tones into the five internal organs". Heaven has five tones, and humans have five internal organs; Heaven has six laws, and humans have six internal organs. This person corresponds to the heaven and the earth." The five tones correspond to the five internal organs, and the five internal organs are related to the five elements. The three are integrated, and the five internal organs are adjusted by hearing the five tones. "Everyone who listens to the sound is like a pig sleeping in fear; anyone who listens to the feathers is like a horse's cry. In the wild, whenever you listen to the palace, it's like a cow croaking in the middle; whenever you listen to business, it's like a sheep straying from the flock; whenever you listen to a horn, it's like a pheasant climbing a tree and croaking. "
"Gene Era"
Although he knew many cultivation methods, Lu Cheng still listened to Bai Luo's explanation attentively, and then used jade coins to buy several kinds of elixirs, and also bought some grains, such as Lingmai, Linggu, Lingdou, etc.
Later, Lu Cheng went to the Witch Temple.
He asked the witch for advice: "Master, have you ever seen a five-stringed qin?"
Wu Huan said: "I've seen it before. In the early years, people from the Jiu tribe came here and brought five-stringed qins with them. I thought it was interesting, so I bought one. But after I bought it, I didn't know how to play the qin, and it didn't sound good to me by myself. , so he put it in the back hall."
Lu Cheng was overjoyed: "Master, can I take a look and gain some insights?"
The Wu Huan walked inside and came out after a while, holding a harp in his hand and said: "This is made of five-hundred-year-old sycamore wood. The strings are made of dragon sinews. This harp cost me a lot of money." One thousand, five hundred jade coins. If you can come up with one thousand jade coins, you can take the piano away! If you want me to give it to you for free, that won't work."
Lu Cheng felt happy and said, "Master, I'm going to find someone to borrow jade coins."
"Can you borrow that much?"
"Let's give it a try, senior brother Wu Guang, senior brother Wu Fan..."
"Don't call me, I've run out of jade coins!"
"I don't have a few either."
Lu Cheng walked out of the Witch Temple and wandered around for a long time. Then he walked back and took out 1,000 jade coins: "Master, I was lucky, I borrowed it."
Wu Huan asked: "Who did you borrow it from?"
Lu Cheng replied: "A few days ago, I picked up two jade bracelets in the valley. I dedicated one jade bracelet to 'Yiniang'. She gave me some jade coins, and I borrowed some from my elder brother Beiqian. .”
The "Yiniang" he refers to is the patriarch's eldest wife.
"Can you still pick up the jade bracelet?"
"I still have one in my hand, Master, look at it."
Lu Cheng took out a homemade Russian blue and white jade bracelet and wanted to get rid of this matter.
Wu Huan took the jade bracelet, fumbled around for a while, and said, "The workmanship is extremely fine, but it's a pity that jade like this lacks aura and cannot be used for storage. It just looks good."
He handed the five-stringed qin to Lu Cheng: "Take it away! There is only the qin and no music. I hope you won't regret it!"
"Haha, I don't regret it, thank you Master!"
Lu Cheng took the five-stringed qin and returned to the modern world from another world.
The next morning, Jiang Qiuyun saw the banjo on the table in the living room and couldn't help but reach out and play with it twice. The sound was extremely pleasant to the ear.
She asked: "Lu Cheng, where did this piano come from? Why does it only have five strings?"
Lu Cheng said: "I bought it online. I ordered two pianos, but the other one hasn't arrived yet."
"What are you buying it for?"
"How about we learn piano together?"
"Why? Pick up a new interest?"
"For practicing Qigong." Lu Cheng explained the principle of the five tones entering the five internal organs and the significance of cultivating the Qi of the five internal organs.
"Okay, I'll learn with you." Jiang Qiuyun agreed.
Lu Cheng searched for local "guqin private lessons" on the Internet, and twenty or thirty of them popped up. There were also institutions that specialized in teaching guqin and offered classes.
He selected five people, all of whom had good backgrounds. They were either teachers from art colleges or graduate students majoring in Guqin.
Then he called one by one and told the other party that he wanted to learn the "five-stringed qin", not the common "seven-stringed qin", "nine-stringed qin", and "thirteen-stringed qin".
This one requirement stuck three of them, and the remaining two said they could be taught. One of them is very young and can teach at home; the other is sixty years old and refuses to teach at home and requires students to go to the teacher's home.
