Hou Zi's practice is on the right track, and his progress can be said to be rapid.
Of course, traveling a thousand miles a day is just his self-perception, compared to the previous slowness of a turtle; in the eyes of a true spiritual genius, this kind of progress is nothing more than that, it is just a normal practice speed, and it is far from amazing.
The pulsation realm is originally a realm that is easy to pass. Based on the principle that the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to enter the realm. There is no simpler realm than pulsation. It is impossible for practitioners to swallow saliva endlessly throughout their lives. In the end Become a drool fairy.
According to the Taoist scriptures, when new practitioners enter the Tao, they will generally stay in the pulse state for one to three months. Within one month, they are geniuses, and beyond three months, they are fools. Like Hou Tzu, the delay lasts for several years, and even fools No, in Taoist terms, such a person is not suitable for practice at all.
Now, everything is on track.
Among the three Taoist books given by Taoist Chongling, he chose the Dragon and Tiger Hui Zheng, which starts from the lower Dantian. There was no special reason. He just tried all the qi-entraining techniques and found that the Dragon and Tiger Hui Zheng had the best effect. , slightly better than Cantongyinyuan and Taishang Daoyin.
Under normal circumstances, if there are elders or Taoist masters around you, they will choose the direction of Qi induction based on each person's different qualifications, personality, temperament, and spiritual root tendencies. This is to lay the foundation for the future, so faster is not always better. .
But for him, there is no one to guide him, and he is already quite old in the practice. He has to make up for the time he wasted before, so he can only practice whichever one he can quickly.
Chong Ling gave him three exercises, two for cultivating the middle Dantian and one for the lower Dantian. The tendency was obvious, telling him that it was best to cultivate the middle Dantian. This was also the Taoist practice philosophy. Most of them were Start your own spiritual path from Zhongdantian.
It is also the standard way to start the game.
The middle Dantian is the Tanzhong point in the chest, called "Jiang Palace". The area in the pit of the heart is where Zong Qi gathers. It is also said that the Juque point is also called Lingtai. Counting from Xia Yin, the length of the trunk is multiplied by 0.618 s position.
The middle Dantian is where the Tanzhong is located. It is twelve floors down from the self-supporting pulp to Huangting. The cowherd represents the heart as yang. The liver, gallbladder, and spleen all have their own specialties and work together to cultivate the heartland. Therefore, there is a saying: "My family specializes in cultivating my own land, which is fertile." The spiritual seedlings live for thousands of years, and they must be irrigated by valley springs. One day, when their merits are fulfilled, they will be Penglai Daluo Immortals.'
The lower Dantian is the Renmai Guanyuan point and the Shenjue point. The place three inches below the navel is where the essence is stored. It is roughly the part around the navel. The Yinjiao, Qihai, Shimen, Guanyuan and Shenque points under the navel of the abdomen , Mingmen and other acupuncture points are also called 'Dantian'.
The lower dantian is the main dantian, which is located under the navel, or is called the sea of qi, where life is stored.
Generally speaking, the intention to guard the Dantian refers to the intention to guard the lower Dantian. Because this part has the closest relationship with the life activities of the human body. It is located in the center of the human body and is the starting point for the movement of qi in the three meridians of Ren, Du, and Chong. The two meridians also directly or indirectly enter the main meridian through the Dantian, and then transfer to the main viscera.
The lower Dantian is the base for the rise and fall of Qi, opening and closing. It is also the place where men store their essence and women nourish their fetuses.
The ancestor of life, the source of vitality, the root of the five internal organs, the root of the twelve meridians, the meeting of yin and yang, the door of breathing, and the place where water and fire meet.
Dharma cultivation favors Dantian, and physical cultivation favors Dantian; practicing martial arts, fighting is strong, and simple and easy to learn. These are the benefits of practicing Dantian, but in terms of spell manipulation, understanding of Zifu, and internal secret transportation, it is better than practicing Dantian. Worse, this is a difference in choice, and it cannot be said to be good or bad.
Hou Zi was chasing time in order to speed up, so he couldn't care about these things. He practiced faster first, and time did not wait for us.
Five days later, the Wu Peng boat sailed away from Shendu. It took another twenty days to cross Xinyi Continent. Fifteen days later, it was about to leave Pelican Continent. Next was Bianzhou Baishazhou, and the northernmost part of Baisha was Biancheng.
Liuyang City.
A few days ago, Lao Qi and his son's Wu Peng boat followed a large passenger ship. It was a large ship that carried nearly a hundred passengers. The ship had three floors and was very grand. The water system of Anhe country was spread all over, and of course the shipbuilding industry was very developed.
Passenger ships like this are not unusual in Anhe City, and there are even bigger ones than this.
Because we are sailing against the current, the wind direction is not convenient at this time of year, so we mostly rely on poles and oars for sailing, which is more difficult for boatmen. For experienced boaters, following another boat can save some effort, which is also done by relying on the water.
The skill of eating.
After a few days, they left when the big ship left, and they stayed when the big ship stayed. They were not the only small boats like theirs. Several small boats followed the big passenger ship and borrowed money, forming a string. It was very interesting.
At dusk today, the large passenger ship parked next to a wild ferry, and several small boats were also moored. Lao Qi set up a fire to cook, and had a very simple meal, which was nothing more than cooking cakes bought on the shore and a freshly cooked pot.
Fresh fish soup.
Hou Zi didn't care about this. He thought it was very good. The ingredients were fresh and caught in the river, which was better than any cooking method.
When you are in a good mood, you have a good appetite and it tastes delicious when you eat it.
After clearing the dishes, Lao Qi handed over two cotton balls and said, "Sir, when it gets dark, will you plug your ears with cotton balls? Don't take them off even when sleeping. You can only take them off at dawn tomorrow."
Hou Zi was surprised, "Why?"
Lao Qi looked serious, "From today on, we have entered the Yaoshui River section. There is a water monster here that never appears during the day and only comes out at night to harm people;
They don't go ashore, they only deal with passengers on passing passenger ships. At night, they will sing beside the passenger ships, which is very beautiful. If someone can't control it, they will naturally and unnaturally walk into the water and become their prey.
So plug your ears to minimize the temptation of the singing."
This is the first time Hou Zi has heard of such a thing. I haven't heard of such a monster in the Qingtang River near Fufeng City. Maybe it's because the water system is different, and each has its own abilities, right?
"If the sound hits my ears, I'm afraid even a cotton ball can't completely block it, right?"
"It's always much better. Don't take it lightly. I know you have read a lot of books, but this kind of thing cannot be solved by reading a lot."
Hou Zi took the cotton ball. He couldn't refuse the boatman's kindness, "What song is so attractive? It can actually make travelers throw themselves into the river?"
Lao Qi said seriously, "It's not necessarily the sound of singing. I heard knowledgeable Taoists say that the sound sounds different to different people's ears, and it varies from person to person.
For example, if you hear it to the ears of scholars, it means being named on the gold medal list, Chunwei High School; if you hear it of businessmen, it means that business opportunities are emerging and you must not miss them; if you hear it of officials, it means that you will be promoted and make a fortune, and your descendants will last for generations; if you hear it of generals, it means that you will destroy the city.
Village, victory thousands of miles away...
In short, you can hear whatever you look forward to most. On the contrary, we low-level boatmen have no ambitions and do not have much knowledge. We are just trying to make ends meet, so we have little impact."
Hou Zi finally understood, this is the situation that arises from the heart!
"Thank you, husband. I will definitely plug it in tonight."
As night fell, Hou Zi continued to work hard. How could he stuff this thing? Ordinary people can do it. How can he practice Taoism if he has no self-control?
After some hard work, this matter was forgotten.
After practicing, I was concentrating and meditating. I felt vaguely like there was some fairy music coming from me, which made me extremely comfortable.
...Condensing the surface of heaven and earth, I never miss the lonely front. There are images but they are empty and blurry, and it is natural to forget the form. The Renzi era begins, it is the Jiashen year. The clouds return to dance with the music, the flowing water follows the singing strings. The stone marrow is as fragrant as rice,
Zhi Fang is as crisp as a lotus. Stop at the Luanyan Yao River, and the sky will be bright on the way back.
