Li Muchan nodded, took out the thin booklet, and began to flip through it.
The breeze swept over the lake, coming slowly, and it felt indescribably refreshing on the face. There was also the faint sound of clear and melodious singing, curling like smoke.
He Nanshan squinted his eyes and smiled, as if he was intoxicated.
However, he was thinking secretly that this fifth junior brother had a calm demeanor and acted as steadily as a mountain, which could be described as extremely powerful.
I still remember that when I first got this Tianyuan Breathing Technique, I was so impatient that I started studying it immediately without delaying for a moment.
Now, I led him around slowly, not in a hurry, and visited the other six courtyards, just to see what his character was like, whether he was calm or irritable. From this point of view, in terms of concentration, he was far inferior to me.
Yes.
An hour passed. He was not impatient at all, but was very interested. Until he couldn't bear it any longer, he slowly took out the Tianyuan Breathing Technique.
Li Muchan paid close attention and slowly opened the book.
On the first page, there are only a few lines at the beginning: "To move Qi, if it is deep, it will be stored, if it is stored, it will be extended, if it is extended, it will go down, and if it goes down, it will be fixed.
Heaven. The sky is pounded above, the earth is pounded below. If it goes well, you will live, if it goes against it, you will die."
Li Muchan frowned, confused. He recognized these words, but when they were put together, they were all confused. He chewed them in his mouth several times, and vaguely understood.
He took off the beads from his left wrist, held the book in his right hand, and moved the beads with his left hand, slowly one by one, without any hurry or slowness, with a thoughtful look on his face. He looked away from the book and slowly looked towards the lake in the distance.
.
He Nanshan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Fifth Junior Brother, have you seen the first few sentences?"
He continued: "These few sentences are the general outline of Tianyuan Breathing and Inhalation Technique, and every word is like a pearl!... Junior brother, it is difficult for you to understand it now, don't be hasty, you will understand it in the future, just like swimming in water, no matter how clearly you explain it,
If you don’t test the waters yourself, you won’t be able to appreciate it, so just read below.”
Li Muchan nodded lightly, thoughtfully.
A picture vaguely appeared before his eyes. A seed fell from the sky, drilled into the ground, began to sprout, grow, drilled out of the ground, and towered into the sky.
Deep, stretch, go down, settle, solidify, sprout, grow, it seems to be this process.
Heaven and man are one, all things have one principle, and their vitality is always similar. Could it be that this movement of qi is a cycle of life and death?
"Come on, let's skip this chapter and open the second chapter. It contains the specific practice methods." He Nanshan interrupted his thoughts and pointed with a smile.
Li Muchan didn't think too much and slowly turned to the second page. This article was very simple and explained the breathing method in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. It was easy to understand at a glance. No wonder Commander Jin could trust it to him.
"Do you think it's easy?" He Nanshan seemed to read what he was thinking.
Li Muchan nodded lightly: "The road is extremely simple, easy to learn but difficult to practice... I guess there must be many joints in it, so the commander must give personal guidance?"
"Haha, fifth junior brother is really smart!" He Nanshan said with a smile.
He said: "Don't look at simplicity. Inhale deeply and exhale shallowly. Inhale ten times and exhale seven times to condense the energy into Qi. It seems easy, but if you want to really do it, you need long-term training."
Li Muchan nodded lightly, thinking in his mind, and controlled his breathing. This may be difficult for others, but not for himself.
When I started to practice Zen meditation, I started by counting my breaths. Now when I enter meditation, I can even stop breathing through my mouth and nose, and just close my Dantian and exhale from the pores all over my body.
Therefore, his control of breathing is far better than that of ordinary people.
Afterwards, He Nanshan gave detailed instructions and explained the key points one by one. As long as Li Muchan followed them, he then said goodbye and left, leaving him to practice quietly.
Li Muchan just smiled at him without saying thank you. When he returned to the main room, he slowly closed his eyes and began to breathe.
Inhale slowly, pause in the Dantian, save a moment, and then exhale slowly after a while. Inhale ten points and exhale seven points. Do not spit it out completely. This technique is the secret of secrets and the most essential method of breathing in and out.
The lake water is clear, and the fish and water plants swimming at the bottom are clearly visible. There are also small pebbles, most of which are oval and of different colors, making the lake water brighter.
The breeze blew slowly, bringing with it the breath of the lake, which penetrated into his heart and felt indescribably comfortable, fresh and moist. Li Muchan felt that this was a supreme enjoyment.
As he vomited and inhaled, his mind quickly entered a state of concentration. The inner lake was as clear as the bright lake opposite, and every thought was clearly presented without any escape.
The mind is completely focused on the breath, just like the initial meditation practice. There is only one thought, one exhalation and one inhalation, one breath in and one out, ten in and seven out.
I don’t know how long it took, but slowly, the Dantian gradually warmed up, as if a warm atmosphere was born, as warm as the hot spring behind Chengjing Temple.
His heart was clear and calm, his mind was motionless, and his breath became more and more subtle.
According to Buddhism, breathing has four phases: wind phase, panting phase, gas phase, and breath phase.
It is divided according to the thickness of the breath. The human body is a world of its own. Human breath is like the wind in nature, strong wind, strong wind, light wind and breeze, which correspond to the four phases of breathing.
The breath carried by exhalation and inhalation is the gas phase among the four phases of breathing, and he has practiced it to the first jhana and has mastered the skill to reach the breath phase, so he is naturally familiar with it.
As time goes by, the Dantian becomes warmer and hotter, just like the water in a cauldron is constantly heated, getting hotter and hotter, becoming scorching.
At this time, his mind is still still, letting it get hot, and his thoughts are focused on breathing in and out, inhaling ten times and spitting out seven times, thin and even, continuous, like silkworms spinning silk.
Suddenly, the perineum point jumped, and the energy in the Dantian suddenly turned into a stream of heat, flowing straight down, like a flood draining a box, penetrating into the perineum, but stopped suddenly, like flowing from one lake into another, and the awe-inspiring momentum suddenly stopped.
end.
The scorching internal force lingers motionlessly, like a ball of flame rolling in the perineum.
This mass of hot air lingers endlessly, but cannot break out of the perineum and is bound by invisible forces.
The general outline of the opening chapter suddenly came to his mind, which means that if it is deep, it will be accumulated, if it is accumulated, it will be extended, if it is extended, it will go down, if it goes down, it will be settled, and if it is settled, it will be solid.
At this moment, he understood these sentences clearly.
A smile appeared on his face, this feeling was very familiar, he had already experienced it.
After practicing to the state of first Zen, all the meridians in the body are connected, and the breath circulates on its own, penetrating the two meridians of Ren and Du. Although he ignores it, he can see it clearly.
Now he experienced it again, but it was the internal force that came out of the body that broke through, rather than the spontaneous energy in the body.
If it is solid, it will be cute, if it is cute, it will grow, if it grows, it will retreat, and if it retreats, it will be heaven. At this point, he has completely understood these sentences.
My mind returned to calmness, and I focused on breathing in and out again, without being impatient or impatient. The hot breath from my Dantian kept penetrating into my perineum, and my perineum became more and more swollen, hot and swollen, like a volcano about to erupt.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my perineum point, and the hot air swirling in it rose up into the sky, like a dragon leaping through the sky, rushing straight up, with its tail, jia ridge, and jade pillow rushing all the way.
"Boom..." Thunder exploded in my ears, the roar continued, stars flashed in front of my eyes, and the ground shook.
The internal force went straight into the Baihui point and hovered for a few breaths. The Baihui point became slightly sore and suddenly opened.
Baihui Point then cooled down, as if a drop of water fell from the sky.
When the water drops fall into the Baihui Point, the internal force becomes suddenly heavier, as if the clouds turned into rain, pouring down along the twelve-story building, like a waterfall flying three thousand feet, and falling in the Dantian.
With the injection of this internal force, the Dantian cooled down rapidly, turning from scorching hot to warm, neither cold nor hot, warm and comfortable, making me wish I could fall asleep.
The Dantian feels slightly stretched, as if it has been stretched after a full meal, and the breath seems to be much stronger.
He knew clearly in his mind that when he practiced meditation, he had invisibly opened up his Qi meridians, so it was easy to circulate around the sky. If the Qi meridians were not connected, it would be difficult to rely on this internal force to rush through the building.
At this time, his whole body was smooth and beautiful, and he was so light that he seemed to turn into white clouds. The gentle breeze seemed to blow him away.
He was so blessed that he no longer breathed in and out, but directly used the spirit to guide the Qi, split the Qi in the Dantian into a small stream, used the spirit to destroy the luck, went down to the perineum, up to the three passes, and then down to the Chonglou, following the meridians for a week.
Returning to the Dantian, this small internal force is no longer what it used to be. It is three to four times stronger. The Dantian is even more swollen, slightly sore and numb, like an inflated rubber ball.
He didn't dare to exercise any more, so he stood up from his seat, paced back and forth along the verandah, and looked through the Tianyuan Breathing Technique.
This volume of Tianyuan Breathing Technique is very thin. Apart from the general outline at the front, the following two pages contain the key to breathing, but there is no mention of the transfer of internal energy.
With a helpless sigh, Li Muchan calmed down. There was no need to rush this matter. He would just ask Commander Jin about it tomorrow. As soon as his mind returned to his body, he noticed something unusual.
The feet are light and fluttery, as if they are stepping on cotton, and the body is light, as if if the legs and feet exert a little force, they will fly into the sky like a white crane.
My whole body was full of energy, and I wanted to let it out. I felt that the thick vermilion pillar on my thigh was not worth a blow with this punch.
He took a deep breath, instantly extinguished his desire to vent, walked slowly, and returned to his mind, observing the abnormalities in his body and adapting to such changes.
After nearly an hour, he stopped and the internal energy that was about to stir finally subsided.
He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, showing a slight smile. He found that his eyesight had also become stronger.
From the gaps in the willow branches, the water-lurking beasts on the eaves of the island in the center of the lake can be clearly seen. There is an ant crawling on a willow tree. It is struggling to carry a grain of rice and climb up.
He practiced meditation, and his facial features were already better than ordinary people's. Now that he had internal strength, his eyesight was even better.
"Haha...haha...that's fun! It's really fun!" Suddenly, loud laughter came from the distance.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached, and the two of them entered Tianshu Courtyard. They stopped as soon as they stepped in. They both looked at Li Muchan, their eyes flickering faintly.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you here? No one can enter here!" A chubby young man asked loudly.
Li Muchan heard that it was him who laughed just now.
He wore a blue silk shirt, a band around his forehead, a square piece of white jade, and a jasper ring on his hand. He exuded an aura of wealth and nobility.
He was white and fat, with a round face with a lot of flesh on it. He looked very ferocious and was glaring at Li Muchan fiercely.
"Brother, may I ask your name, why do you come to Tianshu Academy?" Another young man asked with a smile, clasping his fists.
He is also wearing a blue shirt, has a slender figure, a face like a crown of jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and is very heroic. Standing there like a jade tree standing in the wind, he is really a handsome man.
Li Muchan admired, this man's appearance is not inferior to that of his elder brother.
The young man immediately frowned and looked around: "Hey, where is the second senior brother?"
