Chapter 18: Practice the exercises, cleanse the essence and cut the marrow, and be reborn.
After Wu Tong returned to the college, it was already close to dusk in the afternoon. He did not return to the dormitory, but came to the back of the college.
At dusk, the back mountain is gently embraced by a gentle afterglow, showing an indescribable tranquility and peace. The sky is as gorgeous as a color palette, gradually changing from orange-red in the west to dark blue in the east. The clouds are dyed golden by the sunset, as if they are the most exquisite handicrafts of nature.
Under the reflection of the setting sun, the outline of the mountains becomes soft and warm, as if covered with a thin layer of golden gauze. The branches and leaves of the trees swayed gently in the breeze, casting mottled shadows that intertwined with the fallen leaves on the ground to form a vivid picture. Fallen leaves cover the path, and every step carries the echo of time, which is the trace left by time here.
At this time, in the back mountain, the air is filled with the faint scent of grass and earth, making people involuntarily take a deep breath and feel this gift from nature. In the distance, you may still be able to hear the gurgling sound of the mountain stream, which is clear and sweet, like the sound of nature, adding a bit of life and vitality to this deserted dusk.
Wu Tong walked to the top of the mountain and found a tree. Looking at the tall tree in front of him, Wu Tong nodded.
"That's it. According to the data, it is speculated that the Shaoyang Chapter of the Red Wheel Sutra cannot absorb the essence of the sun around noon. The essence of the sun at that time is too hot. Once absorbed, I will be burned to ashes. Only the early morning and evening The best time to practice Shaoyang chapter is when you are around, and now is the right time.”
Wu Tong murmured to himself while concentrating his soul power and hitting the ground. The pure soul power rushed out of the body, driving the movement of the wind, causing a breeze to wrap around Wu Tong's hand, following Wu Tong's will. , this wind swayed the figure, picking up the dust, weeds and fallen leaves deposited on the ground.
Wu Tong controlled his soul power, and with a wave of his hand, the garbage on the ground flew towards the steep cliff next to it.
Wu Tong did not dislike the exposed brown soil on the ground. He sat on the clean ground and began to run the practice route of the Red Wheel Sutra.
As the Red Wheel Sutra circulated, Wu Tong closed his eyes and concentrated, and his breath gradually became longer. His whole body seemed to have some subtle resonance with the energy between heaven and earth, and the surrounding energy came in like a tide.
With every breath Wu Tong takes, the surrounding air seems to tremble. A ray of sunlight from the sky begins to penetrate the clouds. The light red sunlight shines on Wu Tong's body. The seven hundred and twenty points in Wu Tong's body The orifice began to glow faintly.
These acupoints may be difficult to detect in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Wu Tong, a creator of magic, they are as bright as stars, shining with dazzling light.
As the sun sets, these acupoints seem to be awakened and begin to rotate slowly, like miniature whirlpools, attracting the power of the sun and the surrounding energy. The two energies merge together in the air and become diluted. It became a weakened version of the power of the sun - the power of Shaoyang. With the continuous circulation of the Red Wheel Sutra, the power of Shaoyang was continuously sucked into Wu Tong's body.
After being refined, the power of Shaoyang flows slowly through the meridians, as docile as a sheep, like an arm waving a finger; and the energy running in the meridians is like warm water, majestic and pure, without any burning heat. Instead, Wu Tong felt like he was soaking in a hot spring.
Wu Tong's skin gradually became crystal clear, as if covered by a thin layer of golden gauze, which was a sign that the excess power of the sun was condensed and formed outside his body.
The excess power of the sun condensed on the body surface, continuously refining Wu Tong's skin, flesh, and bones. The impurities in the body were refined by the power of the sun and began to be discharged along the pores.
As dots of black and red impurities emerged from Wu Tong's body surface, they were directly evaporated by the condensed power of the sun, causing an unpleasant smell to emit in the air, but Wu Tong seemed not to smell it and did not make any move. , continue to practice.
Wu Tong's body gradually changed. The circulation of qi and blood became more active. The significantly enhanced qi and blood ensured the nutrition of all parts of the body and promoted the discharge of impurities, making the body healthier.
The muscles begin to become more concentrated, which not only improves the strength of the body, but also improves the posture, making the body shape more symmetrical and harmonious, and the movements more agile and powerful.
Internal organs function optimally. The perfect operation of cardiopulmonary function and regulatory system promotes the balance and stability of the body's internal environment, and improves the body's overall metabolic efficiency and immunity.
Even the brain's nervous system has become more sensitive, which not only improves the body's reaction speed and coordination, but also enables people to quickly adapt and adjust when facing changes in the external environment. As his practice progresses, Wu Tong is evolving towards perfection little by little, even though this process takes countless time.
…
As time goes by, the sun in the sky gradually sets westward, but its light remains undiminished and continues to provide Wu Tong with a steady stream of energy.
Golden mist gradually began to appear around Wu Tong's body, completely wrapping him in it. In this mist, he seemed to have entered a wonderful world where there was no concept of time and only the endless power of the sun was flowing and gathering.
Finally, when the last ray of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon, Wu Tong slowly opened his eyes. The surrounding sun fog began to gradually dissipate.
Wu Tong's eyes flashed with dazzling light, which was the unquenched Shaoyang Qi. He stood up, his body as tall as a pine, and his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of majesty and power.
Feeling the majestic power in the activated acupuncture points in his body, filling every corner of his body, Wu Tong felt that he had expanded now, and even felt as if he could blow up a mountain now.
But Wu Tong knew that this feeling was just an illusion caused by the rapid increase in strength.
Just as Wu Tong was adapting to his own power, the senses that had been blocked during practice began to slowly unblock.
"Hey~ What does it smell like? It stinks so much."
Wu Tong sniffed, and the smell of burned impurities in the air rushed into Wu Tong's nose. After sniffing carefully, Wu Tong found that the smell came from himself.
Feeling the stench coming from his nose, Wu Tong immediately mobilized the Shaoyang Qi in his acupoints and circulated it along the meridians to his legs, then rushed out from under his feet and towards the ground. A huge thrust brought Wu Tong with him. Tong left the spot.
Taking advantage of this reverse thrust, Wu Tong's figure shimmered like a ghost. After a while, he found a small stream in the back mountain. Wu Tong quickly took off his clothes, jumped in eagerly, and began to clean his body.
After washing his body three times until there was no smell anymore, Wu Tong left the stream and looked at his naked body and the only piece of clothing. Wu Tong resisted the urge to throw it away, and used Shaoyang Qi to connect to the stream, controlling a stream of water to rise into the air, swirling and dancing in the air.
Throw the smelly clothes on the ground into the water and control the water to wash the clothes. The pervasive water washes every gap in the clothes, slowly washing away the smell.
After washing, he controlled the stream to slide down to the nearby tree, then reached out to pick up the clothes. As the true energy surged in his hands, the water in the clothes began to gradually evaporate.
After putting on his clothes, Wu Tong looked a little embarrassed when he remembered what happened just now.
‘It seems like you should buy a storage soul guide and prepare some more clothes and daily necessities. Regardless of whether you can use it or not, it’s always good to prepare in advance. ’
Wu Tong thought as he walked down the mountain.
