Identity? What identity? I was stunned for a moment, in my heart my master is a lazy master, but he is willing to be dull in his ability, is it possible that he still has some identity?

But although I am only ten years old, and I belong to the kind of child who is not sensitive at all, seeing the old man Jiang talking about it so seriously, I still thought of some things, the mysterious special line that my father went to call, the small courtyard in the town, and the vigorous grave relocation work, it turned out that the township leader promised to give the work, and I thought it would all be counted on the old man Jiang's head. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)

I hadn't thought about these things before, but at this moment, all of a sudden came to my mind, and I really felt that my master was mysterious.

"Although I like idle clouds and wild cranes, I do things for the country." Old man Jiang said.

"Doing things for the country?" I looked at him suspiciously, the workers and peasants of the country were so lazy that he was afraid that the country would not be able to be built, and I really did not see him doing anything serious.

"Strictly speaking, when the state wants me to take action, as long as it is a positive thing, I will take action. At that time, my condition was that I would never do anything to anyone alone, and would only do things related to the national economy and people's livelihood. "After all, I'm just a child, Old Man Jiang explained to me as plainly as possible.

"But," my head can't turn a little, "But wasn't it broken a few years ago?" ”

"It's not people who have real skills, there were too many liars in the past, so that the people were ignorant, and people who really had the ability couldn't cultivate it, and they were mixed, and there were even some people with ulterior motives, these things were too complicated. Moreover, Taoist metaphysics is like a sharp knife, do you think a sharp knife can be handed over to the bad guys? Can you give it to a child? ”

"Am I just a child?" That's not good, I'm about to become the target of the four olds.

"Lao Tzu, this is a metaphor!" Old man Jiang was furious, "Just like many people who are ignorant of the world, just like children, they suddenly learn one trick and two styles, and they are easy to be instigated, do you understand?" And there are too many metaphysical restrictions, compared to science, it is not easy to transform into productivity, as long as there are a small number of people with real skills, help watch the country, and help deal with some things, do not cause panic among the people, let the people live a good life, that's it. ”

I nodded as if I didn't understand, and asked, "Master, your official is very big?" "Anyway, I saw that the people in the courtyard were respectful to the master, and I also saw that the township leaders came forward.

"In fact, the power in the world is useless to me, I will slowly tell you some things in the future, more detailed things about my identity, now that you are too young, just remember that I will do things for the country." Old man Jiang thought about it for a long time before he told me this.

"Then Master, why do you want to help the country? Didn't you say you like to be at ease? ”

"Of course, Taoist people have to follow the way, and those who help the Tao, you don't understand this at all after reading the Tao Te Ching for so long? Besides, this is the order of your master, he has already said that in the future, the place where a few of our disciples will settle down is to help the current ZF, because they are the ones who have won the great avenue of the world, and they also represent the country! Doing things for the family and country is for great virtue and great goodness. Old man Jiang said it very simply, and he didn't mention this topic anymore.

And I only have a simple idea, my master still attaches great importance to the accumulation of virtue.

Since then, the content of my daily homework has become more and more heavy, "Tao Te Ching" is not copied or read, this reading, writing and writing for three and a half years, even if I want to forget it, it is impossible, as for what can be realized, this is my own business.

But the "Tao Te Ching" is not read or copied, but suddenly there are a bunch of things for me to memorize, the first is the complicated mantra about drawing symbols, I used to think that the Tao Te Ching has been obscure and difficult to understand, but these mantras for me are the real 'book of heaven'.

These formulas Jiang old man will not let me write on paper, when he taught me, it was also directly passed on by word of mouth, and then specific to each word, the formula of the entry charm is relatively simple, generally only 4 sentences, but how to pronounce it, the specific meaning, can make people's heads explode.

"The formulas corresponding to each talisman are different, you have to understand its meaning, and this is just an entry, in addition to the mantra when the talisman is drawn, each talisman corresponds, and the mantra of the knot talisman, some are silently recited in the heart, some need to be read with words, some are to be read out loud, hey you pay attention to the sentence break, the focus of pronunciation is on which word." This is how Old Man Jiang responds to my complaints, and usually the final result is that I am being trained.

God knows how much I want to actually operate, and go to draw a talisman to see the effect, but Old Man Jiang just glanced at me: "The little stupid baby who has no skills, it is also a piece of waste paper to draw it, and I will practice for Lao Tzu." ”

Yes, practice!

From that day on, what I was going to practice was not a simple self-cultivation method, but the real 'cultivation of truth', which is not the art of immortality as understood by the world, maybe it used to be, but now it is indeed a little far away.

To put it simply, I began to practice real qigong, and the old man Jiang once told me that those who cultivate and achieve great success will eat qi and have their own spirit in qi, and the highest breathing method is the art of fetal breathing.

I almost fainted when I heard it, first of all, I couldn't accept not eating, just drinking the northwest wind, and I wouldn't do it if I was a god. Second, what is the art of fetal breathing? To put it bluntly, it is not to breathe through the mouth and nose, but to use the skin of the body to breathe in the natural qi, the vitality of heaven and earth. Internal Qi flows through the acupuncture points. When I think about it, I feel like it's going to suffocate me.

Facing my emotions, Old Man Jiang felt very funny: "Gua Wa'er, you think too much, this food qi is the vitality of heaven and earth, but it is different from the yin and yang qi that breathes through the mouth and nose, can you reach that level?" You can get to that level, Lao Tzu cooks for you every day. As for the technique of fetal breath, it is good to occasionally reach that realm for half an hour, you have practiced the technique of turtle breath for me in this life, haven't you seen that the turtle is particularly long-lived? ”

"When I got to that level, I still need you to cook and eat? I drink air every day, no, no, isn't it good to have the vitality of heaven and earth? Master, are you fooling me? "I have been fighting wits and courage with Old Man Jiang for a long time, and I have summed up a wealth of experience in struggle, and I know the loopholes in his words as soon as I hear them.

"Yes, yes, then I'll be angry with you." Old man Jiang smiled.

"What are you doing? Can you still fry? Can it still be steamed? Can you still stew wild pigeons? I said dismissively.

"Why can't you do it, can't I fart for you every day? Isn't a fart just a breath of gas? Old man Jiang tilted his head and said proudly.

At that time, I was about to meditate and practice, and I almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood in my throat, I endured and endured, my face was red, yes, yes, just like I owe this cheap master in my last life!

However, when it came time for me to actually practice, Old Man Jiang was more nervous than anyone else, although he had repeatedly explained to me the unique tricks of our pulse exercises, and carefully taught me his experience, but he was still nervous.

This qigong is not for fun, if you are not careful, you will practice, and even go crazy, it is understandable that the old man Jiang is nervous, so the Taoist teacher is very important, without the guidance of the master, unless the talented and powerful, ordinary people must not try it easily.

It's just a beginner's qigong, it's already very difficult, I spend a lot of time on this every day, but the entry is very slow, the first hurdle to pass is the sense of qi, the sense of qi is a very ephemeral thing, before catching 'it', you can only rely on thinking about qi, this thinking is simple to say, but all the mind is focused on one thing, it is a very mind-consuming thing, I at the beginning, often less than half an hour, there will be a feeling of dizziness and vomiting.

In the face of this situation, Old Man Jiang often encouraged me; "Your talent is high enough, at the beginning, after thinking for less than ten minutes, I would lose my concentration, and it would be even more painful to do it forcibly, take your time, my apprentice is very powerful."

This encouragement contains a strong friendship, and the feeling of protecting the short-term is even stronger, and I often sigh that in fact, my master is very good to me, and often makes me very moved, of course, at these times, I have to try not to think about his scoundrels, such as letting me eat fart or something.
