After reading four volumes of the Lankavatara Sutra in a row, Li Jiang closed his scroll and meditated.
After a while, he said to Zhang Wuji, who was standing by with bright eyes: "Brother A Niu, this sutra is indeed effective in getting rid of cold poison. However, I don't agree with the theory of the harmony of yin and yang and the balance of hardness and softness in the sutra.
You should also pay attention when you practice in the future!"
Zhang Wuji was confused and said nervously: "Brother Li, are there any consequences of practicing this skill?"
"Well, it's not a big problem in the early stage. After the Nine Yang Magic Skill is completed, even ordinary fists and kicks can use great attack power. It can also automatically protect the body and rebound external attacks. It is very domineering." Li Jiang shook his head and said.
"What about the later stage?" Zhang Wuji was more concerned about the latter issue, because he had finished practicing the four volumes of scripture and didn't feel any hidden dangers.
Li Jiang thought for a while, in fact, Zhang Wuji was the son of destiny. If he didn't tell him, he would still be in danger and become auspicious in the event of death. However, it is unbecoming of a gentleman to treat oneself with sincerity and not tell him after he knows it. Yes,
Li Jiang is so strict with himself.
So he coughed and said: "Brother A Niu, you were still young when you entered the mountain, so you may not know much about Chinese culture. Now I will tell you the truth behind it."
Zhang Wuji blushed and nodded desperately.
"To explain the hidden dangers in the "Nine-Yang Manual", we must first understand its literal meaning. In Chinese culture, nine is considered to be an imaginary number of the highest yang, an extreme number. The "Book of Changes" says, Lao
The number of yang is nine, and the number of old yin is six. So you can think of the "Nine-Yang Manual" as the "Yang-Yang Manual"."
Li Jiang took a sip of water and gave Zhang Wuji some time to think and digest.
Zhang Wuji was very smart. As soon as Li Jiang swallowed the water down his throat, he blurted out: "So, the Nine Yin Manual is the Yangyin Manual?"
"That's right, but it would be better to call it "Yin Yang Zhen Jing"." Li Jiang nodded to him happily.
"But, but the wine-fighting monk said that the Yin Qi in the Nine Yin Manual is too heavy, and only emphasizes softness to overcome hardness, and Yin to overcome Yang, which is not as wonderful as the mutual support of Yin and Yang in the Nine Yang Manual?" Zhang Wuji asked, scratching his head.
"He's bragging." Li Jiang put down the clay cup and said contemptuously.
Zhang Wuji moved his lips, as if he wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, he endured it and just stared at Li Jiang with wide eyes.
Seeing his unconvinced look, Li Jiang twitched his lips and said, "Brother A Niu, you don't have to be dissatisfied. Just listen to me and explain the truth. I guess Doujiu Monk has not seen the "Nine Yin Manual".
The general outline, or maybe he didn’t understand it after seeing it, so he doesn’t know whether he will be able to achieve great success after practicing the Nine Yin Manual, transforming from yin to yang, and finally reach the state where yin and yang complement each other.”
Li Jiang also clapped the "Lenga Sutra" in his hand with his hand and said: "The Nine Yang Sutra is the same. The two sutras, one yin and one yang, end up in the same destination through different paths." After that, he threw the book on the bed.
He continued: "Now that we are here, I will talk about the hidden dangers of practicing the "Nine Yang Manual". This sutra focuses on cultivating the internal strength of the yang attribute. If you work hard at the beginning, you can achieve success in a few years if you are extremely talented.
But at this time, you have to be careful. As the saying goes, if the yin does not give birth, the yang does not grow. When the whole body is full of yang energy, if you are not careful, you will go crazy and die of yang fire. "
"Ah?" Zhang Wuji happened to be right by what Li Jiang said. He had already practiced to the fourth volume of the Sutra, and it was expected that he would be able to achieve success in a year at most. However, he was told that he would go crazy in the future! He was stunned for a moment and said no.
Speak up.
Li Jiang felt secretly happy when he saw that he had been frightened. He coughed and woke him up, and comforted him: "However, Doujiu Monk has also considered this situation. Otherwise, how could he have the shame to boast that the magical skills he wrote down have the interplay of yin and yang?"
How wonderful is it?"
"What is it? Brother Li?" Zhang Wuji immediately asked after hearing that he had a solution.
"That is to break through the two channels of Ren and Du, and reach the wonderful state of yin and yang changing each other, and water and fire supporting each other." Li Jiang told the answer, but he sighed and was not in the mood to talk anymore.
At this time, Li Jiang was very disappointed. He had longed for the "Nine Yang Manual" before, not because he wanted to practice it, but because he wanted to see if there was anything in the scripture about how the wine-fighting monk found the "Xuan Guan Yi Qiao" in martial arts.
Disappointingly, he didn't find it. This sutra is indeed top-notch in terms of internal strength. As long as the practitioner crosses the innate threshold, the practitioner's true energy will be endless and the energy will return very quickly. Even his own "Shen Zhao"
The Bible is incomparable.
However, because this sutra carries the personality genes of the founder Doujiu Monk, who is fierce, fierce, brave and radical, it is only briefly mentioned in the explanation of how to open up the two channels of Ren and Shu.
Therefore, if you want to practice the "Nine Yang Manual" to perfection, you must at least have a pure personality, and it is best to be a child. Otherwise, playing with Yang energy all day long will eventually lead to self-harm.
At this point, Ren Huang Shang did a good job and left a general outline of Qi training methods. As long as you practice according to it, you will eventually have the hope of advancing to the innate level step by step. Unlike the "Nine Yang Manual" which can be cracked with brute force
, if you can make it, just pass it, if you can't make it, just wait for death!
Well, my own "Shen Zhao Jing" is somewhere in between, neither fast nor slow. It seems better?
Li Jiang and Zhang Wuji each thought about their own thoughts, and the earthen house became quiet for a while.
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Jiang finally turned a corner and laughed at himself: Li Jiang, Li Jiang, if you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t build a river. If you want to increase your dimension, you can only become stronger.
No matter how bad the "Nine Yang Manual" is, it is still top-notch and worth learning!
Thinking of this, Li Jiang's mind suddenly cleared up. He glanced at Zhang Wuji, who was still frowning in thought, and said: "Brother A Niu, don't worry, it's still early for you to get to that point! If I'm there then, I will try my best to help you.
overcome obstacles."
Zhang Wuji raised his head, showing a confused face, and asked: "Oh... Brother Li, do you think I should still practice the Nine Yang Manual?"
"Practice! Why don't you practice? I can practice it. The "Nine Yang Manual" also contains many martial arts principles. As long as you understand it, all the martial arts in the world will be admirable to you in the future, and there will be no trace of it.
Difficulty."
"I understand, Brother Li." Zhang Wuji didn't mind Li Jiang's talk about practicing the "Nine Suns Manual" and reluctantly agreed.
In this way, Li Jiang stayed in this valley.
Zhang Wuji took care of him every day, changing medicine and cooking for him, while Li Jiang also explained to Zhang Wuji the problems he encountered during his cultivation.
That's right, Li Jiang has mastered the "Nine Yang Manual".
When he cultivated the first trace of inner Qi from this sutra, Li Jiang felt a thread of fire moving inside his body.
As his practice progressed, Li Jiang discovered another problem. It turned out that due to the growth of Jiuyang Zhenqi, the meridians were clogged, causing the Shenzhao Zhenqi that had been sitting there to change.
Shenzhao Zhenqi originally flowed in the meridians on its own, but the Jiuyang Zhenqi became thicker and thicker, thus crowding out the territory of Shenzhao Zhenqi, making it unable to operate smoothly. So Shenzhao Zhenqi became angry, and from the Dantian
Set off and begin to devour the internal energy of Jiuyang along the way.
Zhenqi is a higher level of energy than inner qi, and Jiuyang's inner qi has no resistance to it. The consequence of this is that Shenzhao Zhenqi has changed from having no attributes to Zhenqi with a trace of fire.
