"Haha, you won't be able to live forever, but if you practice Taoism, you can at least strengthen your body and prolong your life." Taoist Priest Yuqing said with a smile.
"Then I also want to practice."
"This is natural. My teacher will teach you the five arts of Taoism, mountains, medicine, fortune, fortune telling, and divination. As for whether you can succeed in it, it depends on your talent and luck."
"Master, what is a mountain?" Yang Zimei asked puzzledly.
Taoist Priest Yuqing explained to her one by one.[
The so-called "mountain" is a kind of knowledge that cultivates the "body" and "spirit" through methods such as food bait, foundation building, mystical scriptures, boxing techniques, spells, etc., in order to fill the body and mind.
Feeding - is a method of using tonics, wine and daily diet to strengthen physical strength and treat diseases.
Foundation building - is a method that uses Zen and meditation to control essence, energy, and spirit, thereby increasing physical strength.
Xuandian is a way to cultivate the mind and nature based on the thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi.
Boxing - is a method of practicing various martial arts to enhance physical fitness.
Talisman is a kind of psychic and cultivation spell. Its main function is to avoid evil and suppress evil, and to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.
All in all, "Shan" is a kind of knowledge that uses various methods such as meditation, cultivation, martial arts, diet therapy, etc. to cultivate a perfect personality.
After listening to the master's explanation, Yang Zimei was very excited, and was sure that the master was indeed not on the same level as the blind master and other charlatans before, and was truly knowledgeable.
"You are only five years old now, which is the best age to start practicing our Qi Guiding Technique. Now Master is going up the mountain with you while teaching you the breathing and breathing Qi Guiding Technique. Please remember it carefully."
"Okay, thank you, Master."
Taoist Priest Yuqing read out a few formulas.
Yang Zimei quickly remembered and recited it.
Yuqing didn't expect her memory to be so good, so she said a few more sentences. As a result, every time she read it, she recited it clearly, word for word.
"Has anyone taught you this formula?"
Yang Zimei shook his head, "This is the first time I heard this from Master."
"You only heard it once and you know it by heart?"
Yang Zimei nodded, "Master gave me the Book of Changes yesterday, and I have memorized them all."
Taoist Priest Yuqing felt that she was very different from the first time he saw her, but he did not expect that she was a child prodigy. The writings of Zhouyi are extremely difficult, and even those college students with the same level of knowledge would have to memorize the entire book, at least.
It takes a year, let alone a five-year-old child.
"Do you recognize all those words?"[
"I...Dad taught me."
Yang Zimei really didn't know how to explain her sudden genius-like memory, and she didn't know why she suddenly recognized all those rare words. She couldn't say that she had been reborn after two lives, so she could only lie.
*
Yuqing guessed from her slightly twinkling eyes that she was lying.
He knew that her origin must be extraordinary, otherwise, with his cultivation, how could he not be able to deduce her numerology?
If you can read the Book of Changes in one day and memorize it by heart, you are definitely a genius.
He didn't say anything more, but continued to recite the Qi-guiding mantra to her. In order to test whether she really had such a strong memory, he didn't stop, and spoke for ten minutes in one breath, covering the whole thing.
After finishing reciting the Qi-guiding mantras, we arrived in front of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
"Niuniu, please recite the mantra that Master just recited and listen to it."
