Chapter 191: Spiritual mountains and beautiful waters for spiritual practice
“Have you ever thought about it, if a person with a disability starts practicing Kung Fu, it will be half the effort with half the effort. It will be very difficult for him to practice to a high level in his lifetime. As for making up for the deficiencies, it is basically impossible.”
After all, this kind of thing only exists in novels and stories, and no one has ever seen it in reality.
“Then if a person can practice Kung Fu to the point where he can make up for the missing parts, and develop the legendary Qi, can he help others change their tendons, cut their marrow, and cure their diseases?”
“You want to save someone?”
Hearing what Xu Qi said, he didn't mean it for himself, and Wang An could also tell that Xu Qi himself didn't seem to be disabled, and his blood was considered strong.
“A friend of mine was seriously injured in an operation and will never be able to stand up again. He was injured while trying to save me.”
"It's really hard to say. After all, no one knows the specific magical effects of zhenqi. It's even more unclear whether it can heal people by entering their bodies as described in the novel. "Wang An said.
He has developed his own Qi. Judging from the recent days, his strength has increased slightly after the Qi circulated, but that's all. As for the benefits of increasing his true energy in the future, he still needs to experiment and explore by himself.
"According to the analysis of relevant research departments, the so-called zhenqi is a special kind of biological energy, which will have a series of effects on the human body, such as accelerating the recovery and healing of wounds, making bones harder, etc." Xu Qi said These words surprised Wang An a little.
“Research, how did you do your research? Has anyone actually developed Qi?” Wang An asked curiously.
"Earlier, about ten years ago, we caught a very powerful person. He should have developed the legendary Qi." After Xu Qi was silent for a moment, he said something that asked to be kept secret. matter.
"Oh, where is he now? Can I see him?" Wang An said hurriedly after hearing this. After all, it is much better to have someone to communicate with than to figure it out alone.
“He has passed away.”
"Died? What a pity!" Wang An couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
“He had already passed away when we caught him. During the dissection of his body, we found that the indicators of his body tissues and organs were far better than those of ordinary people.
At that time, we estimated that he was at least seventy years old, but his body organs were like those of a teenager, and his bones were as tough as a Siberian tiger.
According to the test results at that time, if he had not been killed by us, his final lifespan would probably have been more than 150 years old or even longer. "
“Easy tendons and cleanse marrow.” Wang And said.
“Yes, it should be the legendary Yi Jin Marrow Cleansing and Rebirth.” Xu Qi nodded.
“What kind of kung fu does that person practice?”
"Swordsmanship, his surname is Cui, he is known as Taoist Cui, and he is known as the master of swordsmanship. The swordsmanship is indeed powerful. When an iron sword is used in his hand, it will flash like lightning, and his movements are fast, fast. Most people can't see it." Xu Qi still has lingering fears when he mentions Taoist Cui. He is the most terrifying person he has ever encountered in his life. Of course, maybe the person in front of me is on par with that Taoist Cui.
"Swordsmanship?" Wang An was a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that the man was actually a swordsman. "Why do you want to arrest him?"
“Because he killed innocent people indiscriminately.” Xu Qi said after hesitating for a moment.
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Looking at Xu Qi's expression, Wang An guessed that there might be a twists and turns in the story.
“Does he have a disciple?”
"Yes, Meishan in Shuzhong. According to the description of his disciples, he got a sword manual from nowhere and practiced according to it for more than forty years. Suddenly he became enlightened and then practiced it. That amazing swordsmanship." Xu Qi said.
"Meishan in the middle of Shu? That's a good place. There are countless blessed places in the world." Wang And said.
"It's a good place." Xu Qi nodded. It was also the place that impressed him the most in his life. Several of his best friends fell there. If he wants to meet again, he may have to wait until the next life, if there is an afterlife.
Xu Qi didn’t ask many questions about official matters, but quite a lot about private matters.
"You have a medicinal smell on your body. Are you injured?" The smell on Xu Qi's body seemed familiar. He had smelled it on Yan Qing's body before.
“It’s not an injury, it’s just that some special medicine was applied.” Xu Qi said.
“But the medicine that Li Xixiao used?”
"Yes, research has proven that this medicine can make people's skin tougher. The medicine can also penetrate into the body through the skin. Long-term use can also make people's muscles and bones tougher, far better than ordinary people." Xu Qi said . This is the result of secret research in the institute and is being promoted and used on a small scale.
“Sir, if you want anything, I can send you some.”
“Are there no side effects?” Wang And said.
This medicine has no effect on him, but he can use it on his grandpa and grandma, especially his grandpa, although his old problem of back pain has basically disappeared after this period of exercise. If he uses this medicine again Perhaps eradication is possible.
“There are no side effects for the time being.” Xu Qi said.
"temporary?"
At this moment, Xu Qi's phone rang. He lowered his head and glanced at the phone number, frowning slightly.
“Sorry, I’ll take a call.” He came to the yard.
“Hello, I am, what’s the matter?”
"What? Did I hear it wrong, or are you crazy? Don't even think about this kind of thing. I don't care who means it or who I love." Xu Qi chatted angrily for a few words and then hung up. He picked up the phone, entered the room and drank all the tea on the table.
“Excuse me.” Xu Qi stood up to leave, but stopped after taking a step. "I would like to ask, sir, have you mastered your true energy?"
Wang An smiled calmly and said nothing.
Xu Qi suddenly understood. When he walked out of the yard, he stood at the door for a while, then turned and looked back at the yard.
“It’s simply unbelievable, it’s hard to believe, but you can only do that by practicing your true energy, right?”
Xu Qi’s visit is more symbolic.
Two days later, Wang An returned to his hometown. Perhaps because it was surrounded by mountains and forests, the temperature in his hometown was several degrees lower than that in Hu'an, making it feel much more comfortable.
When he returned home, the two old men were sitting under an old locust tree in the village chatting. They were very happy to see him back and carried the horse back home.
After returning, the first thing Wang An did was to take the pulse of the two old men, check their bodies, and determine their physical condition. The two old men were in good health, which made him relieved.
From the early morning of the next day, he went up the mountain to practice early.
Through his previous practice and attempts, he discovered that the effect of cross-training "Yi Jin Jing" and Tai Chi is that one plus one is greater than two.
Practice Zhenqi on the one hand to increase the amount of Zhenqi, and on the other hand to let it spread throughout the body, all around the world. The first step in his practice is the Little Zhoutian method, which is to let the true energy circulate in the two meridians of Ren and Du.
In the "Book of Changes", there is this small Zhoutian luck method, which uses external actions as a guide to promote the movement of true energy. There is a similar description in the Tai Chi spectrum, but it is done through meditation, which is static work.
Wang An plans to try both methods, starting with the "Yi Jin Jing".
The true energy starts from the lower Dantian, passes through the perineum, passes through the anus, along the Du Vein of the spine through the three passes of Tailu, Jiaji and Yuzhen, all the way up to the head, enters the Niwan Palace, and then goes down through the two ears and cheeks. To Yingxiang, walk across the Magpie Bridge. Connected with the Ren channel, along the middle of the chest and abdomen, it returns to the Dantian.
It is not difficult to say that the path is also short, less than two meters in total, but it is not easy to actually practice.
Wang An used the movements of the Yi Jin Jing to guide him and stimulate the little bit of true energy. It was a little difficult to go up after passing the tail gate. After finally reaching Jiaji, he could no longer go up. Then he retreated along the original route.
“Not bad!” Wang Anxin said.
He didn’t expect to be able to master it all at once and directly open up the Ren and Du channels. After retreating, he urged the true energy to start from the Dantian, go up along the midline of the abdomen, pass through Shenque, Xiawan, go up to Juque, stop, and then return to the lower abdomen.
At this moment, he was like a toddler, walking slowly and leisurely like a scholar.
Practice internal strength in itself is a matter of tempering one's mind and cannot be rushed. Wang An's character has been tempered in recent years. In addition to practicing Qi, he has not fallen behind in boxing skills. He still practices Tai Chi and Vajra Palm regularly.
Just like this, the days passed day by day.
He Runtang has received news that they have found a century-old ginseng, which costs more than one million. Other precious medicinal materials such as Cistanche deserticola have also been purchased, but there is no news about the century-old Polygonum multiflorum and Poria cocos. Wang An thought for a while and asked Li Xinzhu to inquire.
Unexpectedly, Li Xinzhu came to the village about two weeks later, bringing a wooden box with him. The box contained a large piece of strange-looking stuff, like a lump of wood.
“This is Poria cocos?” Wang An also saw some pictures and text descriptions about Poria cocos, and looked at this wooden lump like Poria cocos.
“Well, Poria cocos, I asked someone to identify it. What do you want this for?”
When Wang An asked him to find these medicinal materials, he agreed without saying a word. Now that he found one of them, he asked about it to satisfy his curiosity.
“I want to learn medicine.” Wang An said matter-of-factly.
“Pharmaceutical, what kind of medicine? This lump costs hundreds of thousands!” Li Xinzhu said.
“How much, I’ll give it to you.”
“Hey, this is a revelation. If you have mastered the medicine, just give me some to try.” Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
“What do you do with the medicine?” Wang An said with a smile.
“Anyway, I think what you come up with here is definitely good.” Li Xinzhu said.
"By the way, I encountered some problems while practicing boxing. I always feel that my strength is not consistent. Can you give me some advice?" Li Xinzhu immediately practiced boxing in the yard. Wang An watched carefully and just raised his strength. There is no way to connect and blend with straight energy.
“Go and practice in the water.” After Li Xinzhu finished practicing, Wang An thought about it and gave his own advice.
“Go to the water to practice? Swimming pool?”
"Yes." Wang An nodded, "To master the strength, you need to practice more and think more. You may gain unexpected gains after practicing in the water for a while."
This is all based on experience. Wang An gained a lot in the swimming pool.
“In addition, don’t let go of the Wu Qin Xi I taught you. Regular practice can strengthen your body and even repair the hidden wounds in your body.”
“I know, I practice every day and never fall behind. I’ll try the method you mentioned when I get back. How long do you plan to stay here this time?”
“Let’s talk about it after the summer. In addition, I want to find a mountain nearby to practice.” Wang An has always had this idea since he developed Qi.
Find a quiet place to practice, which will make it easier to refine pills in the future. The refining process of Yiqi Pill is quite rigorous, and it is clearly stated that the refining effect should be better in a place with beautiful mountains and beautiful waters.
“Are there any specific requirements?”
“Lingshan, beautiful water, cave, heaven and blessed land, don’t be too far from here.”
“Hiss, your demands are quite high. The Cave Heaven Paradise is now a famous scenic tourist area in the empire, and we can’t buy it.” Li Xinzhu said matter-of-factly.
"You don't have to buy it. Look at how many people who are cultivators in Taiyi Mountain and Taihe Mountain. Did they buy the entire mountain? They just borrowed a place to practice." Wang An said with a smile.
He found that Li Xinzhu now has the mentality of a rich man. If there is something good, the first thing he thinks of is to buy it.
“I’ll send someone to inquire immediately.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll look around too.” Wang And said.
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. A strange thing happened in the land of Yanzhao a few days ago, and troops were mobilized. It is said that a monster called the red-haired animal was discovered in the mountains and ate it. Several people."
“The land of Yanzhao, Hongmao?” After hearing the news, Wang An couldn't help but think of Yan Muyun.
“What kind of monster do you think this is?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never seen it, why are you suddenly paying attention to the affairs of Yanzhao?”
“I have a business partner who is from Yanzhao. I heard him mention this matter. It is said that people from several villages have moved because of this matter.”
Li Xinzhu arrived at the village at noon and left in the afternoon. Before leaving, he asked Wang An whether there were any vacant houses for sale in the village. If so, he planned to buy one. He said he would stay here for two days and spend time in the countryside. Life seemed good, too.
Two days later, Wang An was surprised that Xu Qi came to the mountain village and brought him a small jade box.
"What's this?"
"Ointment, it is the ointment used by Li Xixiao to practice martial arts." Xu Qi said.
“I didn’t expect you actually brought it, thank you.” Wang An opened the jade box, which contained black ointment with a unique medicinal smell.
When Wang An looked at this ointment, the first thing he thought of was the "Black Jade Intermittent Ointment" in the novel.
