Chapter 6 Liuguanshu
Coming out of the palace, the setting sun has already covered half of the sky.
Standing on the stairs and overlooking the surrounding fields, you can have a panoramic view of the many buildings in the royal city, the sunset illuminates the green tiles, and the ground is covered with pear flowers in the evening. This seemingly lofty dome is also under another world.
Martial arts has entered its twilight years, and the truly cruel era is about to come.
Zhao Shun let out a long sigh, Zhou Pianran didn't know why and cast an inquiring look. She shook her head: "Nothing, just thinking about something."
"Don't follow me. I saw you walking in a trance just now."
Since it was already late, Guanzhu Liang asked people to help them settle down first, and he would meet them in the future if he had the chance. As for what counts as fate, no one knows.
The person leading the way was a young Taoist priest with a fair face and no beard. He called himself Min and Shunxing. He was extremely polite to them and kept smiling all the way. When they arrived at the accommodation, he answered everyone's questions for half a quarter of an hour.
"If you need anything, just go to the miscellaneous office at the front and ask for food, clothing, travel, carriages and horses, everything is available, everything is available." Min Shunxing and Yourong Yan showed his expression A smug look.
The spacious courtyard is separated by an eaves wall in the middle. There were green bamboos on the left, where Liu Ziyi lived, and flowers on the right. Zhou Pianran pulled Zhao Shun in and didn't want to leave.
Wang Chuyan was able to live with them thanks to Wang Fang. The three of them had a wing room each. Zhou Pianran chose the one under the flowers, while Zhao Chun preferred the one in the corner near the well.
Although the sun had completely set, Zhao Chun did not feel sleepy at all. After finishing the meal that was delivered to her, she lit a candle, leaned on the table, and began to study the Synaesthesia True Consciousness Dharma Sutra she had received.
The homepage is a warning, warning readers that everything cannot be accomplished overnight. Turning over it is an interpretation of the Five Elements. He talked about the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and also explained why it is better to have fewer spiritual roots.
In the final analysis, it is a truth that you can bite off more than you can chew. The more spiritual roots you have, the more spiritual attributes you can introduce.
But this is not a good thing. The total amount of spiritual energy introduced in one breath is fixed. The properties of pseudo-spiritual roots are too complex. After the spiritual energy is divided, the quantity of each type will be small. The reason why a single spiritual root is precious is that it can only introduce one kind of spiritual energy naturally, and its cultivation speed is much faster than others.
Next, how to introduce Qi into the body.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows outside the human body and cannot be seen by the naked eye. The Dharma Sutra teaches an art of breathing in and out of the heart, which can nourish the body, sense the spiritual energy outside, and then activate the spiritual roots, so that the spiritual energy can be called into the body. This quick step only takes a moment, but as for the slow step, it is recorded in the book that the one who took the longest step was a disciple of the Qing Chan Sect who had not introduced Qi into his body for three years.
Zhao Chun recalled Cao Wenguan’s words that there were only five years to prepare a disciple. Introducing Qi into the body was only the first step, and the meridians had to be cleansed and the acupoints opened. If it takes too long at the beginning, it will be difficult later.
She took out a piece of white paper and wrote a line of words.
Introduce Qi into the body, quickly.
Next, we will talk about the meridians. After the spiritual energy enters the body through the skin and flesh, it is guided to the Dantian by the spiritual roots. The cultivator needs luck to make it enter the meridians. Humans are originally made of mortal flesh. There are too many mortal impurities in the meridians, and the spiritual energy cannot flow to form the heaven. After successively washing with spiritual energy and opening up the twelve meridians, you can enter the acupuncture stage.
The principles of the acupoints chapter are the same as those of the meridians chapter, but more complicated. There are twelve meridians, but there are hundreds of acupoints that need to be broken, and they cannot be done at will. Fifty-two single acupoints start first, followed by 300 double acupoints, and finally fifty extra-meridian odd acupoints. The acupoints have the function of accumulating spiritual energy, promoting the direction of spiritual energy, and accelerating the movement of the heavens. Therefore, clearing the acupoints is an indispensable part of practice.
Zhao Shun traced a simplified diagram of the human body's meridians and acupuncture points on paper, and silently set aside the order of punching the acupoints.
“Everything has its origin and its end, and everything has its beginning and end. If you know the sequence, you will get the shortcut.” She secretly thought that the principles of her ancestors are indeed applicable everywhere.
Zhao Chun wanted to turn back and found that he had reached the bottom. At the end of the book, there is an additional sentence: "After preparing disciples to get started, you can expect to read the next volume." You know that there will be no follow-up for a long time.
But this knowledge is enough for her. She can try the induction formula first to nourish her body. You should also memorize the meridians and acupuncture points. You can do as many basic things as you want this month to save time in the future. Without further ado, she turned back to the page of the secret formula and began to memorize it silently.
The words were still the same, but when combined they became obscure. She seemed to have returned to campus, to the days when she was dealing with words.
If the meaning of the sentence cannot be understood, the difficulty of forced recitation will only increase sharply. She disassembles each paragraph, understands it word by word, and finally connects one sentence to get a summary.
The Heart Technique is too mysterious, and it is her first time to come into contact with such secrets. After only roughly understanding a few sentences, she felt mentally exhausted.
"Don't be greedy for too much of anything. If you continue to explain it, you will only make mistakes. It is better to rest first and regain your energy before starting work tomorrow."
She rubbed her eyes and put out the candle.
Maybe he was really exhausted, and Zhao Chun fell into a very deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that "the sunrise was three poles high, and the color was red and yellow."
She took a breath and stood up to get dressed. After putting her hair up a few times, she pushed the door open and went out to get some water to wash up. If she remembered correctly, there was a well outside this wing.
When I got to the well, I found that there was no equipment to draw water. Zhao Shun turned back to get the bucket, but was stopped when he turned around.
"Do you want to fetch water?"
Wang Chuyan changed out of her bright clothes and wore only a simple moon-white sarong. Her face was clean, and she must have washed up early.
"Yes, but I didn't see the water container. I was just about to get it."
"No need, there is no water in this well." She pointed far away, "There is one that goes around the path ahead. The place to wash up. Today is the first time. They don’t know when we will get up. They have to go to the miscellaneous office to register first, and then someone will bring water.”
Zhao Shun thanked her, and she smiled: "There is nothing to thank you for. We all come from the same place, so we must help each other."
These words are very meaningful. The two people were clearly born in different places. If they insist on establishing a relationship, they can only say that they are both from the Chu Kingdom. Zhao Chun asked: "The same place?"
Wang Chuyan Surprised: "Don't you know? My brother told me that it was not just Chu State, but other countries were recruiting disciples. For example, Jin State and Wu State selected more disciples than us." She lowered her voice, "Brother said, Deacon Cao even lost his temper."
Zhao Chun looked calm and replied, "If you hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known." , is also a competitive road. Only by studying hard and practicing hard can she not be squeezed out by others.
“You don’t have to worry too much, go and freshen up quickly. Deacon Cao has an extraordinary background and is quite well-known in the outer sect. With him around, others will not dare to look down on us.”
Her brother is Cao Wenguan's junior brother. He loves the house and the bird, so naturally he is protected by him.
And Zhao Shun was only selected by him. Strictly speaking, it was Cao Wen who showed her the way. She did not dare to expect that Cao Wenguan would be kind and take care of their few preliminary disciples.
After saying goodbye to Wang Chuyan, she walked forward through a camphor forest and saw several vacant water platforms. Zhao Chuanxiang finished washing up hastily and planned to go back to the house to continue the vest technique.
