The Qi training method of the Jin people is very similar to that of the modern Xiao Zhoutian. The only difference is that they use the lung meridian. The five internal organs of the human body are made of gold. You can get more spiritual energy through practice, and spring, summer, and winter are good times for the three tribes of wood, fire, and water to practice. The earth tribe's method of practicing qi is not affected by the seasons.
But his bloodline is different from everyone else in the Xia Dynasty. He absorbs the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth instead of a single spiritual energy. This situation determines that although he uses the Jin clan's Qi training method, he has the same Not affected by seasons.
Wu Dongfang couldn't remember the qi training methods of the Mu and Tu tribes, but he remembered that these two qi training methods were the same as the qi training methods of the Jin tribe. They both required sitting cross-legged and double lotus. There were many basic things without the guidance of a master. I can't even understand it. However, he had learned hard qigong in modern times. Hard qigong also has qi training methods. Although he didn't learn it well, he had some basics.
A calm mind is the foundation of Qi training. If the mind is not calm, the Qi will be unstable. Unstable Qi will lead to behavioral problems. The main manifestation of Qi training in the early stage of Qi training is farting. Farting is not to eliminate turbid Qi, but to cause chaos in the breath in the body. It is somewhat similar to the usual Cha Qi. In the early stage of Qi training, there is almost no spiritual energy in the body. A small amount of spiritual energy going astray is not as uncomfortable as Cha Qi.
If there is spiritual energy in the body and then goes astray, it will be more uncomfortable than when the spiritual energy goes astray. The degree of discomfort depends on the amount of spiritual energy in the body. The more spiritual energy there is, the more uncomfortable it will be. If there is a lot of spiritual energy in the body and then the spiritual energy goes astray, it will be If you are possessed, the spiritual energy will run around in the body uncontrollably, which will not only make you uncomfortable, but may also damage the meridians and even the mind. This is why the higher the cultivation level, the more extreme quiet is required when practicing Qi.
To put it bluntly, the early stages of Qi training are like chasing chickens and chasing away dogs. If you get bitten by them, it won’t be a big deal. The middle stage is about holding cows and training horses. At this time, being bitten by spiritual energy will be very uncomfortable. When you reach the advanced stage of Qi training, you are riding a tiger and controlling a dragon. If you can control it, it will be extremely powerful. If you cannot control it, you will be torn to pieces by them.
Wu Dongfang did not fart, because although he was sitting, he was not in a hurry to practice Qi. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. This is an old saying, which means that you must be fully prepared and clear before doing something. In the right direction, think about the problems you may encounter, and make detailed plans and arrangements. The early preparation process directly determines the success or failure of a matter. Persistence is victory, but the prerequisite for persistence must be that the direction is correct. If you go in the wrong direction, the more you persist, the worse your death will be.
Without a detailed plan in advance, the chance of success will be much smaller. Even if you succeed, you will have to put in many times the effort than others. This is what is commonly said to be half the result with twice the effort. This is because it is easy to think and correct something in your mind, but once it is done Once you start working on something and find something goes wrong, you will have to pay a lot of money to correct it, which will waste a lot of time, energy or money.
Wu Dongfang likes excitement and is very courageous. There is nothing he dare not do. But when performing a mission, he will immediately enter an extremely quiet state. As a commander, he needs to observe the environment, analyze the situation, and formulate a battle plan. His personality is very suitable for practicing Qi. Being calm is the best way to practice Qi. The basics, and whether you are brave or not directly determines the speed of Qi training.
Sit cross-legged and meditate. Breathe, exhale. Gather, guide. These are the three processes of Qi training. Sitting quietly in the lotus position is for meditation, adjusting breathing is for exhalation, and gathering spiritual energy is for future guidance.
Calm down, take it in, control it, and walk slowly.
"Go away, I'm not dead." Wu Dongfang finally couldn't help but speak. Ever since he sat down, the prince had come over to check his breathing more than once.
"You have been sitting for five days. If you don't eat, you will be close to death." The prince said.
As soon as his attention was distracted, Wu Dongfang immediately felt dry and extremely hungry. He opened his eyes and stood up to drink water and cook.
"How is it?" The prince came to the fire.
"Very good, try not to disturb me in the future." Wu Dongfang said. Qi training is a process of sailing against the current. Once you return to daily life, the previous feelings will subside. It has not yet reached the stage where habits become natural, and your thoughts are interrupted. It's hard to pick up the feeling from before.
"How long will it take for us to leave here? Is ten years enough?" the prince asked.
"If you hadn't disturbed me just now, I would be able to answer your question in a few days." Wu Dongfang lit the fire absentmindedly. He spent most of the previous five days thinking deeply, and it took less than a day or two to start practicing Qi. , the seeds have not yet germinated, and the first step has not been taken, there is no way to estimate how long it will take from germination to growing into a big tree.
"Okay, okay, eat quickly and continue after eating." The prince said.
"Is there any more wine?" Wu Dongfang tilted his head and looked at the wine jar in the corner.
"I didn't touch it at all." The prince said proudly.
Wu Dongfang nodded. Most people can't control themselves. Let alone a fox, the prince's ability to endure not drinking is indeed something he should be proud of.
After relieving himself and eating, Wu Dongfang sat down again. Before closing his eyes, he said to the prince, "It's time to drink. In the summer, the Mu people will come to dry the salt. It's impossible for them not to bring wine. You can go and steal them." of."
"I even figured out where they live." The prince smiled evilly.
Wu Dongfang closed his eyes again.
Cultivation methods are all created by people, and those created by people have certain personal characteristics, such as the angle of the tongue in the mouth, the frequency of swallowing body fluids, whether the eyes should look inward, whether the ears should listen to external sounds, and what kind of eyes should be used to observe the nose. , nose and mind, he doesn't care about all these. There is no need to completely follow other people's practice methods. As long as the direction is right, it is up to you to decide which route to take, whether to run or crawl. Make yourself comfortable however you want. The more comfortable you are, the calmer you will be. If you are less restricted, you will have full freedom. With full freedom, you will have enough initiative. Although practice is difficult, it is not painful. If you think practice is very painful, then explain the method of practice. wrong.
Cultivation is a very emotional thing that mainly relies on feelings. To put it bluntly, it relies on understanding. The level of IQ has nothing to do with practice. If your thinking is rigid, you will become complacent and follow the rules. It is not good to think too fast. Thinking too fast can easily lead to distracting thoughts and disorder. It is necessary to master a certain speed. This speed is like a kite. It can fly at will, but there must be roots underneath so that it can fly out and still fall down.
The function of breathing is to absorb spiritual energy. He uses the Qi training method of the Jin clan, but what he absorbs is the energy of the five elements. When the five elements are complete, there are no five elements. They are the yin and yang between heaven and earth. The spiritual energy is absorbed. The process of reaching the Dantian Qi Sea is not very difficult. What is difficult is to make the spiritual energy in the Qi Sea move. Only by making them move can the spiritual energy absorbed into the body be tempered. In modern terms, it is purified.
And if you want the spiritual energy to move, you must dig a channel for them to flow. The digging of the channel is what is usually called opening up the Rendu and Du meridians. There are twelve acupoints on this road, and these twelve acupoints are the twelve acupoints. Levels need to be conquered one by one with troops. What is a soldier? The spiritual energy stored in the sea of qi is a soldier. As long as these twelve acupuncture points are opened, a cycle will be formed, and the spiritual energy can travel along this route.
Whether to conquer it all at once or in stages, Wu Dongfang chose to conquer it in stages. He was worried that if he recruited too many troops, he would be unable to control it. If he couldn't control it, he wouldn't even have a place to vent. The sea of qi stored a large amount of impure spiritual energy. It will break into the body and cause irreparable consequences.
Seven days later, he opened his eyes again. Some spiritual energy in his body gave him night vision. It was night and he could clearly see the situation in the cave.
Happiness is inevitable, but he is not very excited. Unlike ordinary people who can't persist without some sweetness, he has enough patience and is not anxious if he doesn't see any rewards in a short time.
The prince was not in the cave, and he didn't know where he went crazy. Wu Dongfang walked out of the cave and moved his body to the seaside. The seaside was now at low tide. The living environment has a great impact on people's mood. The majestic mountains can It makes people feel calm, and the vast sea in front of them can make people open their minds.
"Why did you come out?" The prince's voice came from the junction of the beach and the woods in the south.
Wu Dongfang turned around and saw the prince running towards him.
"What are you doing?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The prince quickly ran closer and said, "Look at the turtle, how are you doing? How long do we have to stay here?"
"It's hard to say, we have to wait a few months to find out." Wu Dongfang said. He felt that he had vaguely touched the threshold of Shangchu, but when could he enter Shangchu, and whether he needed to open up the Ren and Du meridian to enter Shangchu. He doesn't know that this is the problem of not having a master.
"Didn't you say a few days last time? Why..."
"Has anything happened recently?" Wu Dongfang knew what the prince was about to say, so he interrupted him.
"Does it count if there are too many turtles?" the prince said casually.
"Don't run around, I'm going back." Wu Dongfang turned and walked west.
The prince responded and ran towards the junction of the beach and the woods again.
After he was convinced that he could control the spiritual energy with his consciousness, Wu Dongfang began to circulate the energy. The twelve acupoints and twelve passes needed to be conquered one by one. First, go down and attack the perineum. This is not difficult, but the further down you go, the more difficult it becomes. , the reason is not that each of the twelve acupoints is more difficult than the last, but that in the process of driving the spiritual energy to attack the pass, every time it passes by a previously conquered acupuncture point, some of the spiritual energy will be left behind. If these acupoints are not filled, the spiritual energy will be lost. The way to move forward is to gather energy again.
This process lasted for a long time. At the beginning of summer, the turtle laid eggs. When the prince stole the eggs and ate them, he broke through two acupuncture points. At the end of summer, when the prince stole wine and drank, he broke through the third acupuncture point. At the beginning of autumn, when the prince was seduced by him, When he had diarrhea after eating crabs for a few days, he broke through the fourth place. In late autumn, when the two of them were picking fruits everywhere in the mountains and digging wild sweet potatoes, he broke through another place. In the winter when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, he broke through three places in a row.
At first it was a few days, then a few months, and finally the prince simply stopped asking because he discovered that Wu Dongfang himself didn't know how long he would live here.
Next year when the vegetation sprouts and turns green, Wu Dongfang opens the last acupuncture point, connecting Ren and Du's two meridians.
Before the Ren and Du meridians were opened, he stayed outside the Shangchu Gate. Once the Ren and Du meridians were opened, the five sensations of soreness, numbness, pain, itching, and swelling reappeared. They slowly subsided after ten minutes. When the five sensations completely subsided, the body's changes continued. When it appears, the ears are clear and the eyes are bright, the mind is calm and the body is light.
He is not sure whether the current changes indicate that he has reached the upper level of cultivation. He can only guess that it is like this. Without the guidance of a master, there are too many disadvantages.
It took nearly a year to enter the junior high school. Wu Dongfang was somewhat disappointed. Ming Yue once said that there are three major levels of cultivation, and the three major levels are divided into nine small steps. He has only taken one step now, and even if he takes one step a year next, It would take seven years to reach the beginning of time, and before that he still couldn't go out, and he would still be beaten if he went out.
But disappointment was quickly replaced by surprise. At the beginning of summer when the turtles appeared again and the prince started stealing eggs again, the five sensations of soreness, numbness, pain, itching and swelling appeared again. It was less than three months since the last time this feeling occurred...
