"This Cave God Scripture, this, this..." Cao Meng hesitated.
Seeing Cao Meng hesitating, Nanfeng frowned, "The Dongshen Scripture is not a profound scripture, what can't be said
"It's not that I can't explain it, but it's difficult to explain it clearly. I'm afraid that what I said is wrong and will lead you astray." Cao Meng explained hurriedly.
Nanfeng was puzzled and asked again. Cao Meng was not good at expressing himself. After talking for a long time, Nanfeng understood that Dongshen Sutra was not a martial arts secret book in the true sense. It was just a sutra, although it contained Qi training content. , but it does not provide specific guidance on how to practice Qi. Practitioners need to combine their personal understanding of the scriptures to figure out the specific methods of practicing Qi.
The Dongshen Sutra is very simple, and most Taoists have similar understandings of it, and the Qi training methods they have worked out are also roughly the same. However, Cao Meng is worried that the Qi training methods everyone has worked out may not be the best Qi training method, so he dare not tell him. south wind.
"The acupuncture points, meridians and the art of exhalation and inhalation are both common. This can be said to you." Cao Meng said.
"Oh, tell me." Nanfeng answered casually. He was already familiar with the nine scriptures including the Dongshen Sutra. As Cao Meng said, the scriptures did not contain detailed records of Qi training methods.
Nanfeng had lived in the mountains for more than half a year before, and had heard about some meridians and acupuncture points. The human body has 365 main acupuncture points, and more than 2,000 small acupuncture points. There is no need to remember the small acupuncture points, and it is impossible to remember them. It is not easy to memorize these more than 300 acupuncture points.
To talk about acupuncture points, we need to talk about the meridians first. The human body has twelve regular meridians, and eight extraordinary meridians. The meridians are like the roads of a country. The twelve regular meridians are the twelve main roads, and the eight extraordinary meridians are eight small roads. This Twenty roads connect north and south and traverse east and west.
Acupoints are the passes on the meridians. Most of the acupoints are located on the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians. The ultimate goal of Qi training is to open these passes so that spiritual energy can move freely throughout the body.
In order to open up the acupuncture points and open a path for meridians, the prerequisite is to have military strength. The purpose of breathing and exhaling is to condense and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use.
To recruit troops and buy horses, you must have barracks. The Dantian Qi sea is the barracks. The spiritual energy gained through breathing is stored in the Dantian Qi sea. When it accumulates to a certain level, you can send troops to break through the acupuncture points. Once the acupuncture points are broken through, they will never be destroyed. will be blocked again.
There are often many acupuncture points on a meridian. These acupuncture points cannot be broken through at one time and can only be done in stages. This type of breaking and opening up Qi training is very time-consuming. Most practitioners, including those who have reached the level of cultivation above the mountain, cannot Master Qi has not opened up all the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, but has only opened up a few of the more important meridians.
The Rendu Meridian, which connects the front, chest and back, is the first choice for most qi practitioners. The Rendu Meridian is commonly known as Xiao Zhoutian. After penetrating the Little Zhoutian, you can reach the limbs, commonly known as the Great Zhoutian. The two meridians of Ren and Du plus the four meridians of the hands and feet make a total of six meridians. Most practitioners develop these six meridians, and there are eight more meridians belonging to the hands and feet. , and the six extraordinary meridians other than the Ren and Du meridians are all in an innate state and have not been exploited.
Different from the Taixuan Sutra, which only has 32 sentences, the Dongshen Sutra is more than 300 sentences long. One thing is described in more than 300 sentences, which has reached the level of detail. No matter who is doing the research, The results are similar. Even if 10,000 people come to see the Dongshen Sutra, the conclusions they draw will not be much different. They should start from here and move forward. There is no other choice.
For a person who failed the eight exams, his understanding and talent were not much better. When he asked about the method of breathing, Nanfeng asked Cao Meng to write down the meridians and acupuncture points, and then let him go.
After obtaining the breathing method, Nanfeng was not in a hurry to practice. Tian Yuanzi once said, don’t be in a hurry to get on the road. Before setting off, you should think about where you are going and which way to go. In addition, you have to guess various possibilities. And come up with countermeasures. You must not rush into the road without adequate preparation.
After Cao Meng left, Nanfeng wrote down the Dongshen Sutra and read it for a long time. In the second half of the night, he wrote down the Gaoxuan Sutra and the Shengxuan Sutra. He compared the three and found out through careful analysis that these The three scriptures are closely related and can be read as one scripture.
In addition, these three scriptures do not leave much room for speculation by practitioners. There is little room for modification in the qi training methods deduced from the scriptures. This situation is like having mountains on both sides and only one road. You must follow this Way to go.
After confirming this point, I gave up. After being promoted to the third level of Cave God, Gao Xuan, and Xuan Xuan, I had to practice steadily. There were not even any side roads around me, let alone any shortcuts.
In addition, Nanfeng also discovered a very interesting thing. The content of the scriptures is not only how to practice Qi. From another perspective, the content of the scriptures is also consistent with martial arts moves. Taoist scriptures have them. It has the characteristics of both yin and yang, combining movement and stillness. If we say that meditation and Qi training are both tranquility and yin. The martial arts moves are movement and Yang.
The martial arts hidden in the first three scriptures have already been discovered and excavated by the senior colleagues. It is the Five Elements Boxing practiced by the Taoist priests of Xiahe Temple.
Feeling interesting, Nanfeng silently wrote down the three scriptures of Dongxuan, Sandong and Dadong. Compared with the first three scriptures, the three middle ones were much more obscure and profound. Nanfeng couldn't understand it clearly, but he looked at these three scriptures. The purpose of the three sutras is not to understand the specific meaning, but to compare with the first three sutras. The result of the comparison is that the contents contained in the three middle sutras begin to have ambiguities during study and understanding, and most people take the broad path. Outside, paths began to appear.
At the moment, he could only find that there was a small road beside the main road. He could not figure out whether the small road was a dead end or where it led.
The three scriptures in the middle also have hidden martial arts moves. Like the obscure Qi training methods, they are hidden between the lines and are difficult to discern. However, Nanfeng learned from the past and compared them with the martial arts practiced by the Taoist priests of Zhongwei Hall. Sure enough, it was true. , the martial arts hidden in these three scriptures have already been summarized and promoted by the senior Taoists. It is the Liuhe Quan and Baguazhang used by the Taoist priests of Zhongwei Hall.
Time will pass quickly if you concentrate on thinking about the problem. At this time, it is already dawn, the bell is ringing, and everyone begins to go to the main hall to perform morning classes.
Nanfeng didn't go. He hadn't slept all night and was already sleepy. Now that he was going to do morning classes, he could easily sleep in the main hall.
After everyone left, the south wind burned the paper with the scriptures written on it, blew out the lamps and candles, closed his eyes and thought about the three sutras of Jushan, Dongyuan and Taixuan.
These three scriptures were more profound, and it was extremely painful for him to understand them. He couldn't even see what martial arts skills were hidden in them. He only recalled these three scriptures for one purpose, and that was to see if there were more paths contained in these three scriptures. .
But in the end, he failed to do so. The prerequisite for finding a small road was to know where the main road was. He couldn't even find the main road, let alone a small road.
After a night of hard work, it seems that there is nothing to gain, but in fact, the gain is huge. The most important point is to take the main road honestly in the early stage, and don't try to take shortcuts by taking shortcuts. There are no shortcuts at all. In the mid-term, you have to take the high road. The path most people take is not necessarily wrong. If you insist on being smart and playing tricks, you may die miserably.
The one who really has room for development is the third level of purple energy after entering Jushan, but that is a very distant thing, and it is useless to think about it now.
After confirming that no tricks could be taken, Nanfeng became even more anxious. Tianqizi had no idea where he had gone. The Sanqing Dharma Conference on the ninth day of September next year was very important to him. What he valued was not the position of head teacher, but the direct teaching of Taixuan. If the reward is given to Tai Xuan, he will leave here immediately. There are enemies everywhere here, and sooner or later he will get into trouble if he stays here.
Not long after, the sound of carriages and horses was heard outside. Nanfeng stood up and moved the toilet out. He chatted with the handyman who dumped the toilet for a few words, then pulled a few pony tails and left the lower hall.
It didn't take long for him to come back, and he tied the ponytails around Tianqizi's door. If the ponytails were broken, it meant that Tianqizi had come back.
When he woke up, he had missed his meal. Nanfeng was hungry, so he slipped down the mountain and went to the town to find something to eat.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Nanfeng bought two more fruits and walked out of the town, eating and walking along the same path.
Just as he lowered his head and hurried on, he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the road down the mountain. He tilted his head and saw two Taoist nuns being stopped on the road in the distance. One of them was his enemy Lingyanzi. , and the other one is the little Taoist nun who lives in the same room with her.
The person who stopped them was a middle-aged man in gray clothes. He must be around forty years old. He had a face as long as a donkey and as thin as a pole. He had two whiskers at the corners of his mouth and wore a young man's hat on his head. , holding a white flute in his hand.
At this time, the middle-aged man was blocking the two of them from moving forward with the flute in his hand. At the same time, he was saying something to the two of them with a playful smile, while Lingyanzi and the little Taoist nun were yelling at him.
Seeing that his enemy was in trouble, Nanfeng was very happy about his misfortune. He stopped by the roadside and tilted his head to look down.
The middle-aged man was a man of martial arts. Lingyanzi and the little Taoist nun were in conflict with each other and could not go around. The two of them moved their hands in desperation, but the punches and palms they threw were not able to touch the hem of the middle-aged man's clothes. Never encountered them.
After a few rounds, Lingyanzi and the little Taoist nun stood motionless. It was obvious that their acupoints had been sealed by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man stopped the two of them without delay, holding them one in each hand, and jumped into the woods beside the road.
"Hey, let's go watch the show." Nanfeng became evil-minded, threw away the fruit core and went into the woods, and groped from the forest to the area where the three of them were...
