Chapter 190 Danfang
Opened the door, invited Lu Xiangyi into the room, and made a pot of hot tea.
“Drink tea.”
“Thank you, have you gone out to practice again?”
“I found a place to sit for a while and think about something.” Wang An said with a smile.
“Your trip to Bagan has kept many people awake!” Lu Xiangyi said with emotion.
What happened in Bagan has been known for a long time, but many of them don't know what happened and what the cause was.
Some people are asking about what happened over there, and some people probably know what happened over there. It is the very few people who know the truth who can't sleep.
Of course whether they could sleep or not had nothing to do with Wang An. What he was thinking about now was the matter of anger.
What Lu Xiangyi is worried about is how the people above him will deal with it after they know that Wang An did it.
“What are your plans next?”
“Go back to your hometown and stay for a while.” Wang And said.
“Still practicing?”
Wang An nodded.
Now that he has cultivated his true energy, he has taken a crucial step to create something from nothing. The seed is already there, and all that needs to be done is to cultivate it continuously and make it grow into a towering tree. Of course, this process may be very long, but fortunately, he has something that can assist him in his practice.
“Practice, practice again, won’t you feel bored if you practice all day long?”
“Practice is like mountain climbing. Each mountain has a different scenery, so naturally you won’t feel bored.” Wang Andao said.
“I want to see it too!” Lu Xiangyi sighed, and Wang An smiled.
"We are investigating the news about Chen Ye. We have already controlled the few people involved in the Wengu organization. They are very ambitious."
"I can tell."
"Let's talk about cultivation. Can you impart some experience?" Lu Xiangyi said after a moment of silence.
“Of course there is no problem. To practice, train your body, train your mind, and train your spirit, you must first develop a strong body. This is the basis and primary purpose of practicing. During this exercise, your will will also be tempered.
After the body becomes strong, it is time to practice strength, to practice the skills of strength and exertion, and finally reach the point where the strength of the whole body is harmonious and can be sent and received from the heart. At this stage, a certain level of kung fu can be considered to be achieved.
Going further down is to practice inside. Internal training of the internal organs, Tai Chi's breathing, and Xingyi's Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound are all internal training methods. If the internal organs are strong and the qi and blood are strong, aging can be delayed to a certain extent. .
Once the internal organs are thoroughly practiced, the next step is to practice qi. "
“Infuriated?”
"Zhen Qi, or Yuan Qi, is essentially a special kind of energy, the energy produced by the combination of body and spirit. The most wonderful effect of the red pill you studied is that it can make people generate Zhen Qi." Wang Andao.
“How about continuing?”
“If you continue going down, you may be able to hold the golden elixir in your body, reach heaven and earth, and become an immortal.” Wang And said.
Become an immortal? Hearing this, Lu Xiangyi couldn't help but take a deep breath. This has been the dream of many people since ancient times. From gods and kings to traffickers and pawns, who has never heard the legend of immortals, and who has never thought about immortality?
“Is there a shortcut for this step by step?”
“Yes?” Wang An said with a smile.
“Ah, is it true?” Lu Xiangyi asked hurriedly.
“Yes, such as the legendary fairy peach, nine-turn golden elixir, and Yaochi fairy grass. If you can find it, you can naturally overcome the hurdles ahead.”
“Those are all legends.” Lu Xiangyi smiled after hearing this and leaned on the sofa. "I haven't mastered the strength of the whole body now, which means that in the second stage, to be honest, I have never seen anyone except You who can master this strength."
“This is a big hurdle.” Wang And said.
“The process of exercise is the process of understanding your own body. Strength training can make you familiar with your muscles and bones, and internal training can let you understand your internal organs.
Once you know enough about your body, you can form relevant pictures in your mind through imagination, achieving an effect similar to inner vision. "
These are understanding, but it is really sad to do it. The novel describes that there are disasters in spiritual practice. The so-called disasters are checkpoints, and the first thing to pass is your own checkpoint.
“Can you show me what Jinli Yuanrong looks like?”
“Put your hand on my shoulder.” Wang An thought for a while and pointed to his shoulder.
Lu Xiangyi stood up and put his hand on his shoulder. The next moment he didn't see Wang An move, he felt a force on the other person's shoulder that pushed his palm away, as if there was a hand pushing there. I feel the same all of a sudden.
“The strength is mellow, the strength penetrates the hair, and the whole body is full of punches.”
Lu Xiangyi sighed lightly, the gap was too big. It had been a long time since he had calmed down to practice kung fu.
He is like this, let alone the people above. That's why they place their hope in foreign substances such as elixirs. This is actually similar to a kind of "get something for nothing" mentality.
I don’t want to exercise hard, but I also want to get benefits. To put it bluntly, I just want to use the power in my hands to exchange for it.
“The higher authorities may send other people to contact you, so you must be prepared.”
“For what purpose?”
“Contact and solicitation are of course only possible. After all, only a few people know what you are doing in Bagan.”
“Well, thank you.” Wang And said.
After drinking three cups of tea here, Lu Xiangyi left.
After he left, Wang An took out a pen and paper and quietly wrote down a prescription.
Hundred-year-old ginseng, century-old Polygonum multiflorum, Poria cocos, meat floss paste, and Achyranthes bidentata
This is the reward he received after cultivating his true qi, a pill recipe with a simple name - Yiqi Pill.
This prescription comes in time, just like you have just planted a tree, and then the fertilizer is delivered to you.
However, the medicinal materials in this recipe are obviously very precious. They all require wild medicinal materials. Not to mention, the words "hundred years" are added to the first few items.
Looked at the prescription, held the piece of paper in the palm of his hand, shook his palms together, and then the piece of paper turned into pieces.
This Qi-Yi Dan is just a tonic to him, but to ordinary people, it is a fatal thing.
It should be noted that taking too much tonic is the same as taking poison. If this elixir is prepared and eaten by ordinary people, it will most likely be life-threatening.
“Let’s go to the medicine hall tomorrow to see if we can get these medicinal materials.”
Wang An went to bed early to rest, and got up early the next morning to practice Tai Chi in the yard. He consciously followed the red lines in the boxing manual to guide the flow of true energy in his body.
Moves, strength, and true energy are integrated into one from the outside to the inside.
[Tai Chi experience +1. ]
The sudden prompt made Wang An slightly startled.
“Is it true that this step is Qi training? Is it the same with Vajra Zen Palm and Xingyiquan? When Kung Fu reaches a high level, it is like rivers flowing into the sea, with different paths leading to the same destination.”
Wang An started practicing again according to the cultivation methods in "Yi Jin Jing".
He practiced these twelve movements once, and unexpectedly found that when practicing this skill, the speed of the true energy flow seemed to be slightly faster than that of Tai Chi. This is also an unexpected discovery.
Then he went to the famous Heruntang in Hu'an. A regular customer came, and the service staff here were naturally very enthusiastic.
“Mr. Wang, you haven’t been here for some time. Is this still the same as before?”
“No, I want something else this time. Let’s talk somewhere else?”
“Okay, please come this way.”
The staff member invited Wang An to the reception room nearby.
“I want a hundred-year-old ginseng, a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, plus Poria cocos”
Hiss, the staff member took a deep breath after hearing this.
"Mr. Wang, to tell you the truth, in all the years I have been here in Runtang, I have only seen the century-old ginseng three times. As for the century-old Polygonum multiflorum and the sixty-year-old Poria cocos, I have only heard about them but never seen them. I don't dare to I promise you, all I can say is try to find out as much as possible.”
“Okay, let me know as soon as possible if you have any news.”
Although several other medicinal materials are relatively rare, they can be purchased with a little effort.
After coming out of Heruntang, Wang An went to Maoerjian to continue practicing.
Li Xinzhu was very happy when he heard that he was back. In the evening, he hosted a banquet for him in a newly opened hotel. The hotel was located in an antique courtyard and looked very elegant.
“How is this place? It’s a private restaurant that was recently opened and is very famous in Hu’an.”
"It looks good." Wang And said, "There weren't any sequelae from the last time, right?"
“No, I just woke up suddenly in the middle of the night when I was sleeping in the first few days, but it’s gone now,” Li Xinzhu said.
While the two were chatting, a young woman wearing a cheongsam came into the room to make tea.
"We can do it ourselves. You can go out first." Li Xinzhu took the tea.
“Have all those guys been found?”
“Some were found, some were dealt with, and some escaped.”
“Sooner or later we will find them,” Li Xinzhu said.
The dishes were served quickly. Not to mention the taste, they looked very delicate.
“Come and have a taste.”
“Well, it tastes pretty good.” Wang An picked up a piece of vegetables and tasted it before nodding and saying, “I’ve been working hard these days.” Wang An looked at the calluses on Li Xinzhu’s palms.
“I don’t dare to let it go.” Li Xinzhu said, “I have to spend at least two hours every day to practice Qigong. This is the ability to save my life.”
“It’s a good idea to have this idea.” Wang An smiled after hearing this.
“Since you are back, take the time to teach me.”
"no problem."
In the following days, Wang An was thinking about the little bit of Qi in his body every day. After more than ten days of practice, he felt that the Qi had increased a little.
He seemed to have returned to the time when he first learned Tai Chi, starting from the most basics. The difference is that at this stage, no one can teach him anymore, and he can only slowly explore everything by himself.
“It would be nice if there was someone we could talk to!” Wang Anpo said with emotion.
Li Xinzhu would come every few days to practice boxing with him.
Spring in Hu'an City is relatively short, summer comes quickly, and the temperature rises quickly.
He also knew the person sent to contact Wang An, the bearded Xu Qi. The place where the two met was in the small courtyard where Wang An rented. Xu Qi came to visit with a box of tea.
"I hope Mr. Wang doesn't mind if I come to bother you." Xu Qi's posture was very low. There was nothing he could do about it, the man in front of him was too fierce.
“No need to talk about nagging, please have some tea.”
"Thank you, Mr. Wang has been in Hu'an these days?" This is a question knowingly.
“I took a long trip to the south a few days ago to do some personal business.” Wang And said.
“Did things go well?”
“It went smoothly.” Wang An nodded. Xu Qi smiled after hearing this.
“The movement wherever you passed was not ordinary!” he thought to himself.
“What are Mr. Wang’s plans next?”
“Live as usual, practice as usual.”
"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Xu Qi nodded after hearing this. They were really afraid that the person in front of them was not finished yet and would continue to investigate. If so, they would have to take special measures. No one wants to get to that point.
“I have a question I would like to ask. Mr. Wang, does he think one can reach a higher limit by practicing Kung Fu?”
“Of course you can, the key is how you practice.” Wang An said bluntly.
For example, he now feels that even if his cultivation level is no longer improving, his body can remain in this state for a long time, maybe decades, or even longer.
“How high can the upper limit be raised?”
"It depends on how far you have practiced. If you can practice to Zhou Dian's level, you can become a land immortal."
“Why don’t some famous kung fu masters in modern history actually live very long?”
"for example?"
Xu Qi named several people. These people were all famous boxing masters. Wang An had also seen them in some materials.
"In fact, quite a few of the people you mentioned were already long-lived in their time. Most of these people were brave and fierce when they were young. They will inevitably get injured when fighting with others, and they may also leave hidden injuries during their daily practice. .These hidden injuries may accumulate and may occur when you get older. Practicing Qigong requires practice on the one hand, and maintenance on the other. The so-called medicine and martial arts do not separate.
Among the legends I know, people with high cultivation and long lifespan, such as Patriarch Bodhidharma, Zhang Zhenren, and Zhou Dian, may have fought with others when they were young, but later they paid more attention to self-cultivation, and they also had to practice kung fu. Practicing mind-nature leads to Nirvana in Buddhism. Taoist parents attach great importance to mind-nature. "
Xu Qi nodded, "With the advancement of science and technology, the population is increasing, but there are fewer and fewer Kung Fu masters. It's just that the character of the mind is hard to determine."
“The world today is so wonderful, how many people can calm down and practice and study Kung Fu for many years?” Wang An said calmly.
Xu Qi stared at the tea cup in his hand in silence for a while.
“It is rumored that Patriarch Bodhidharma can regenerate the weak to make up for the missing. If one practices his kung fu to a high level, can he really achieve that level?”
“Why do you ask this question suddenly?”
“Just wanted to ask.” Xu Qi said with a smile.
“Well, I think it depends on the situation. If a piece of meat is missing, it is possible to grow it back. If an arm is broken, the possibility of it growing back over time is much lower.”
Wang An wondered if he could make up for the lost to a certain extent now.
"Is it really possible?" Hearing this, Xu Qi sat upright involuntarily.
