"If you want to live forever, will you cultivate Kunlun?!!"
Hong Kang repeated.
He had read many Taoist classics and understood that "Kunlun" did not refer to Kunlun Mountain, but to the human mind.
According to modern scientific principles, the brain is the human nerve center.
Taoism has a method for cultivating Kunlun, which is a secret that has not been passed down. In modern language, it is called a brain training method or a brain nerve training method.
Hong Kang looked at Song Zhongqian with burning eyes.
"The Huang Ting Sutra says: "The essence of the three passes is deep, and if you want to live in Kunlun, you will not die. "According to legend, it is the secret method of [returning essence and replenishing brain]."
Song Zhongqian said with some satisfaction: "Mr. Hong is right."
"The hair should have many combs, the face should be worked, the teeth should be tapped frequently, the fluid should be swallowed often, the Qi should be toward the Yuan, the essence should be returned to the top, the three passes should be penetrated, the governor should be clear, and the spiritual beads should be solid. These nine, The so-called Kunlun Dharma is cultivated.”
Hong Kang said: "Could it be..."
Song Zhongqian said: "The "Shang Yuan Gong" in our sect focuses on the Qi of the Du Vein. Combined with the perfect "Zhong Yuan Gong", it penetrates the Ren Du and can replenish the essence and replenish the brain!"
Hong Kang raised his hands seriously and said, "Please give me some advice from Taoist Song."
Song Zhongqian recited loudly: "The first paragraph, the spirit should follow suit, the heart should not be wandering... The second paragraph..."
"...In the eighth section, form the samadhi seal with both hands, sit silently with a clear mind, and store the sacred mud pills..."
"In the ninth section, sit silently and clear your mind, and concentrate on the air points. After a while, you will feel the breath flowing through the tail gate, up the spine, along the jade pillow and up to the mud ball, so that the vitality is filled to the top..."
There are no more than a thousand words, but the secrets and tricks involved make Hong Kang unable to help himself.
At the same time, Hong Kang was also quite moved.
Although Song Zhongqian said that he currently has no apprentice who can pass on the mantle, this is because he is afraid that his family's inheritance will be cut off in his own hands. It is better to meet the right people and communicate more and spread the word.
This was something that was absolutely unimaginable before.
But today's world is developing rapidly, and various emerging ideas are constantly communicating and colliding. Many people who are quick to accept have realized that they need to break the previous cage and look at various things with new eyes.
Some industries can no longer stick to old rules. Only with an open mind and vision can they adapt to the development of the times.
For Song Zhongqian, it means no longer guarding his family's inheritance.
When I meet like-minded friends, I will discuss and communicate with them.
Seeing that Song Zhongqian was so upright and upright, Hong Kang was not a stingy person.
At that moment, he took out the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" and explained it to Song Zhongqian, along with his own experiences of many years of practice.
"The "marrow washing" in this [Marrow Washing Sutra] mainly refers not to the physical body's hair removal and marrow washing, but to the miraculous skill of cultivating the spirit."
"Form the [Zen Meditation Seal] and constantly refine your spirit through "concentrating your mind" to bring your spirit to the pure and flawless state of your infancy;"
"Then the spiritual transformation and sublimation will be carried out to reach the point of "looking inwards at one's own body", and one can even see the spirit in the body even if the spirit is subtle."
Song Zhongqian didn't expect that Hong Kang had such a miraculous ability to keep the bottom of the box.
Seeing that he was willing to communicate and share, he naturally listened attentively.
Hong Kang explained the essence: "All things are not all things, they are the same as me. All kinds of phantoms appear...can penetrate the heaven and earth, and are one with me..."
Both of them gained a lot from this exchange of ideas.
Song Zhongqian obtained the secret method of developing the potential of the physical body, which can greatly enhance his Qi and blood and maintain the vitality of the physical body; he also obtained the miraculous skill of condensing the spirit, which seems to be vaguely complementary to his "Shangyuan Gong".
Hong Kang seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Because "Zhongyuan Gong" can only play an icing on the cake for him, what is really useful is "Shangyuan Gong".
In other words, he used two secret techniques to find one that was useful to him.
But in this category, Hong Kang felt that he was not at a loss!
The reason is that Hong Kang has a feeling in his heart that the "returning essence and nourishing the brain" part of Taoist Song's "Shangyuan Gong" should be beneficial to his progress in the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra".
From the last life to the present, Hong Kang's spiritual power has been stuck at the level of "seeing God" and has never been able to condense the "Mirror Tower".
He guessed that either there was some kind of trick missing, or the world was lacking some mysterious substance.
For convenience,
Hong Kang decided to stay temporarily at Chang Dao Temple and took his two apprentices out of the Xu Mansion.
For some people, it is easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but it is difficult to go from being extravagant to being frugal.
Fortunately, both apprentices are not the kind of people who indulge in enjoyment.
When they arrived at Changdao Temple, Hong Kang asked the two of them to help with some simple farm work besides practicing martial arts.
…
Quiet room.
Hong Kang's hands face each other, lying on his knees to the area below the navel, with the tips of his two thumbs touching, and his right hand placed on top of his left hand.
This is [Meditation Seal].
Being able to suppress impurity with purity.
Gather your spirit and capture your heart.
Then the left hand droops naturally, with the palm facing inward, the index finger pointing straight to the ground, and the fingertips touching the ground.
This is to use the [Earth Seal] to remove distracting thoughts and subdue external demons.
When his spirit became extremely sharp, Hong Kang began to practice Shangyuan Gong.
The route of his internal energy suddenly changed, and it no longer followed the route of "Taihe Gong".
As soon as this changed, it suddenly became a bit jerky.
However, with Hong Kang's minimal control over his inner energy, he adapted to the new movement route in just a few breaths.
The inner Qi travels through the Governor Vessel and arises from the lower abdomen.
It originates from the Qugu point, runs backward from the middle of the lower back to the Changqiang point in the tail and sacrum, and goes up along the spine, passing through Yaoshu, Yaoyangguan, Mingmen, Xuanxu, Spine, Center, Jinshui, and Zhiyang. , Lingtai, Shinto, Shenzhu, Taodao, Dazhui, Yamen acupoints, to the back of the neck to Fengfu point.
According to the records of "Shangyuan Gong", the next step is to move the inner Qi into the brain, along the midline of the head, through the acupoints of Naohu, Qiangjian, and Houding, and up to the Baihui point on the top of the head;
It goes through the acupoints of Qianding, Yanhui, Shangxing, Shenting, and Yintang, along the forehead and down the nose column to the Suliao point on the tip of the nose, through Shuigou, Duiduan, and to the Gujiao point in the middle of the upper teeth.
But,
Hong Kang encountered a problem when the inner energy entered his brain.
The previous "Taihe Gong" did not have the part of "returning energy and replenishing the brain".
During previous exchanges, Song Zhongqian had said that one should be cautious about this skill.
After practicing for more than ten years, I dared to let my inner energy flow to the Qiangjian point, not even the Baihui point.
"No wonder, Taoist Master Song is only a little accomplished in this skill!" Hong Kang said to himself.
The human brain is such an important part.
It is the position of "the leader of the six Yangs".
Naturally, you have to be more careful.
"With my own mental state and micro-level control, I should be able to speed up this process."
“I just don’t know what changes will happen after completing this practice of “returning energy and replenishing the brain”?!”
Hong Kang thought sincerely.
…
Eight months later.
In Qingcheng Mountain in autumn, the green mountains are gradually mixed with a hint of bright yellow.
Deeper in the mountains and forests, the yellow gives rise to more colors, including yellow-green, tender yellow, golden yellow, and bright red.
A small figure was running quickly in the mountains.
It was Wang Qiaoting.
Like a butterfly in the mountains.
