Chapter 3 Condensation and Strengthening, God is dry

At the time of unitary, Zhang Yan turned to his residence.

As soon as he returned to the cave, he lifted the stone strip that sealed the door, locked the door, and began to retreat.

As soon as the light dimmed in front of him, Zhang Yan in the dark room could not hide the joy in his heart, he didn't expect that the most important Yuan Building Dao method before opening the pulse would be so easy to get his hands on?

He was not in a hurry to cultivate, but washed his hands and changed his clothes, and lit a qi-nourishing incense burner.

After meditating for a while, he took a blank piece of paper and wrote down the entire method again, and as the handwriting appeared one by one, his whole body slowly relaxed, and his mind gradually settled down.

When the entire "Yongchuan Xingmai Method" was written, his psychosomatic state was gradually adjusted to the best.

Zhuyuan, that is, condensing the internal qi cultivated by the whole body into the Shenque acupoint, and the innate vitality brought from the mother's womb is completely integrated, so as to plant the immortal root spirit seed.

There is a mantra that says: "The internal qi is mixed, and one yuan is born." ”

This is the only way to go before opening the immortal vein, and whether there is something to achieve in the future is very important.

Sitting down on the futon, and expelling all the distracting thoughts from his mind one by one, he first used the entry method to straighten out his breath, and after sitting in silence for half an hour, his heart was already peaceful and empty.

After everything is ready, it is only then that the mantra begins to be silently recited, guiding the internal qi to move slowly according to the pulse method.

It didn't take long for him to stop.

Zhang Yan frowned slightly, in the past, his qi and pulse were smooth and free, and he felt angry, but this time he felt a little wrong, not only his breath was intermittent, but he was also quite sluggish when he walked, as if a person was stumbling forward, and there were always stumbles under his feet.

Fortunately, he had just begun to cultivate, so he simply dispersed the internal qi he had just guided, settled down, and started from scratch again.

This time, however, the situation was the same as the last time.

Zhang Yan's face froze, his eyes opened, and he decisively stopped his practice.

You can't be reluctant to cultivate, if you blindly do it, you will only damage your foundation.

Could it be that my own qualifications are too poor to practice this formula?

He shook his head.

If it is said that because of his qualifications, he can't practice a certain multiplication technique, then he maybe, but even the flow of qi is so poor, then the problem is definitely not here.

What is the reason for this? Is it because of the Dharma itself?

Zhang Yan read the trick again, and was puzzled.

There is no trick such as retrograde qi, don't go through the strange scriptures, positive and negative flow, you can see at a glance that it is the most authentic but the number of Xuanmen paths, how to go each step, where to go to the qi, how to cooperate with the acupoints, how to correspond to the breath, are all clearly stated, so detailed that they can't be more detailed, just almost without supervision and guidance on the teacher's side, is there any problem with such a method?

If these two reasons are not the case, then it is possible that his cultivation method is not correct.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's heart moved, picked up the pulse method and looked at it several times, until he saw the eight words "flowing down, its potential is natural", and he faintly realized where the problem was.

Perhaps it was because the method was elaborated in great detail that he was too deliberate when cultivating, and he forgot the true meaning of the natural flow of water in the Dao book!

You must know that some of the true laws of Xuanmen pay attention to the divine will, and some pay attention to the method, both of which are indispensable and complement each other, but there is a distinction between the monarch and the minister, and this method is obviously the will of God first, and the method is second, he only obsesses with the "law" when he cultivates, but ignores the "will", the main and secondary are reversed, and the deliberate carving is too heavy, so he naturally falls into the inferior.

Zhang Yan put down the Taoist recipe and groaned with his sleeves.

Despite finding out the crux of the problem, he still had no way to continue.

As long as he wholeheartedly cultivates this Dao method, that obsession will always exist, which is naturally contrary to the divine will, and in this way, he will inevitably be unable to forcibly cultivate.

If he is allowed to let go of it, of course, he can get rid of his obsessions, but it is impossible to improve his cultivation naturally.

It's like a dead knot in a ring-within-a-ring.

Zhang Yan stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to cultivate.

On the way of this cultivation, there will always be all kinds of obstacles and difficulties, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the path, at least the cultivation will not advance but retreat, the foundation of the road will be damaged, and the worst will go mad and have the worry of your life.

At this time, I can see the benefits of having a teacher, not only can they always hear about their lives, but they will also take action to protect the Fa at critical moments, and the danger when cultivating is naturally greatly reduced. However, Zhang Yan is just a registered disciple, and he has neither a teacher nor a colleague to guide and ask for advice, so he can only rely on himself to slowly explore, and it is difficult to break through the mental obstacles. ,

Zhang Yan knew that he couldn't be in a hurry at this time, but he had to be more peaceful, otherwise once he was blinded by the demonic barrier, he would only fall deeper and deeper into the quagmire.

After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that there was a way to do it.

That's going on a long trip.

Visiting the famous mountains and scenic spots, observing the artistic conception of the landscape, waiting for the day in the heart of forgetting worries, waiting for the time when the time comes, the natural flow will come naturally, and the deeds will be complete, which can also be said to be the most suitable for the cultivation method of Taoism.

However, this method was then denied by Zhang Yan, firstly, because the time was too long, and secondly, there were too many variables.

This is only before the pulse is opened, and if he obtains a similar advanced method in the future, will he go to the mountains and rivers first every time? This is too much of a waste of time. What's more, the reason why he chose to retreat immediately was because he secretly felt that tonight was the best time for him to build a yuan, and if he missed it, he didn't know when he would have to wait next time.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and ponder, since he had seen the trick from the travelogue, he was already considered a "destined person", and there was no reason why that senior would leave such an obvious flaw.

There must be a way, and it must be hidden in the book!

He stared at the dense text on the paper several times, until his eyes ached, and suddenly, his back shrugged, and a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind!

By the way, how did I forget that this Taoist book was originally written in etched scripts!

The etching text seems to be simple and complex, the meaning is vast, every word reflects the truth of heaven and earth, a few strokes can say the life and death of all things in the world, the law of this Taoist book has been interpreted by him, and it has become thousands of words, but it is written with etching, but it is only 600 words.

These 600 words have already explained all the tricks clearly, and the etching used by the predecessor who wrote the book is already the most superficial and straightforward, but he instead refers to the interpreted manuscript to cultivate, isn't that looking at the moon through the mirror, and seeking the near and far?

So......

Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, he simply dipped his pen in ink, took a piece of white paper, and re-wrote the entire "Yongchuan Xingmai Method" in etched text.

The entire Pulse Method had just been written, and the originally stiff aura in his body actually moved inexplicably.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but perk up, knowing that he had found the right method, he kept writing, finished writing the entire method in one go, and didn't stop after writing, and then took out a blank piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote it again.

Gradually, the thick internal qi of the whole body that was originally like stagnant water seemed to be stirred up by a hidden dragon, spreading and spewing to the limbs and veins, circulating and swimming, and after walking around Zhou Tian, it gathered and hugged at the dantian, and so on, endlessly.

The whole process is natural, all based on true qi automatically, Zhang Yan did not deliberately pursue it at all, his mind has been fully immersed in the pen etching.

The breath of the whole body is still like a trickle at the beginning, dense and dense, and as the pulse method is written over and over again, the breath is getting stronger and stronger, and later it is like a big river rushing, the long river is rippling, and it is surging and galloping up and down Zhou's body.

However, Zhang Yan had no joy or sorrow in his heart, he didn't care about it at all, and when he wrote to Zuihou, there was no ink in the pen in his hand, but in his eyes, one by one the etched texts still poured out from the pen, even without the guidance of his thoughts, the internal qi also followed the formula in the qi veins and began again, and the clogged meridians were washed away everywhere.

After three hundred and sixty-five turns of this week, the internal qi of the whole body rises and falls like a sea tide, generally squeezing all the points in waves.

When this huge breath reached its peak, it was originally located in the depths of the umbilicus, and since it was born, it was tightly closed, and suddenly there was a shock, and a gap was opened, and the surging internal qi seemed to have found a way to vent, and it poured in, and after a while, it disappeared completely, and for a while, the body became empty, and the whole person was panicked as if in the void.

Without the guidance of the Master, once a cultivator encounters such a situation, he will inevitably panic and be suspicious, and his mind will be restless, which will lead to a fall short, but Zhang Yan has experienced the cycle of life and death, and his mind is firm, he is still calm as usual, and he does not ask or listen to everything that happens in his body, and let it be natural.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the disappeared internal qi to be slowly spit out by the Dan Qi, but it seemed to be mixed with a trace of innate vitality, and then inhaled again by the Dan Qi, so after breathing back and forth eight times, the internal Qi and the innate Yuan Qi were integrated, regardless of each other, when the internal Qi slowly fell into the Dan Qi for the ninth time, the Shenque acupoint located in the umbilicus suddenly jumped!,

Rumble!

The back of Zhang Yan's head seemed to be lightly knocked by the jade mallet, and there was a clear sound in his ears, first there was a white expanse in front of him, and then the light was released, and the liquid in the mouth was self-generated, and it was parked in the throat, and with a stream of hot air sinking, Zuihou fell deep in the umbilicus, and finally remained unmoved.

Zhang Yan's pen suddenly stopped, and when he raised his head, he found that the floor was full of paper written by him.

A white light penetrated through the hole left in the cave wall in front of him, and before I knew it, it had been a night.

At this moment, instead of feeling tired, he was refreshed, his five senses were clear, and his heart was peaceful.

His whole temperament has also changed, and there is a faint smell of dust.

If he can see himself, he can find that a layer of crystal jade has emerged on his face at this time, circulating on his head and face, and his eyes are as bright as stars, which shows that from today on, he has stepped into the realm of "Ning Yuan Manifestation" in Zhuyuan, and it is only a line away from Zhuyuan Zuihou's step "Yuan Cheng into Truth".

Zhang Yan shook the brush in his hand, walked a few steps quickly, took the stone strip of the sealing door, opened the door, and stepped out in one step.

After taking two steps, he paused, and looked at his hands in surprise, this sealing stone weighed more than three hundred catties, although he was strong and healthy, but he usually felt quite strenuous when moving, but just now he just lifted it slightly, and moved the sealing stone to the side.

He couldn't help but suddenly feel that he had often heard people say that after the cultivator built the Yuan, "his arms are self-reliant, his eyes can penetrate the heavy smoke and mist, and his ears can distinguish insects and birds, almost immortals", it seems that this legend is true?

Zhang Yan clenched his hands into fists, took a deep breath, and secretly reminded himself that this was just the first step on the road to the road, and he must not get carried away, there were more dangers waiting for him in the future, and it was too early to rejoice at this time.

At this time, a clear crane chirped and lingered for a long time.

Zhang Yan turned his head to look, at this moment, it was the beginning of the rising sun, the clouds and mist dispersed, the mountains and forests were dyed with golden glow, the long river winding under the cliff was like a white jade belt, and from time to time there were three or two cranes with white feathers flying over the plank road under their feet.

He stood on the edge of the cliff with a high spirit, the cold morning breeze blowing, although he was only a robe on his body, he didn't feel cold at all, and let his clothes swing in the wind.

After three years of hard practice, once I started the multiplication method, I condensed the qi and built the yuan overnight, which can be described as a thick accumulation and a matter of course.

He couldn't help but think, if he was still practicing hard in the cave every day at this time, just waiting for the heavenly way to give alms, and blindly paying attention to chance, would there still be today's chance?

The answer is clearly no.

The path of cultivation, such as a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops, has no way back, only to move forward, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, it must also be regarded as a smooth road.

In the previous life, the Book of Changes once said, "Dry all day long, repeat the Tao", doesn't it just say that a gentleman must be self-improving, and he must persist repeatedly in good times and bad, so that he can conform to the masculine and righteous path?

It can be seen that he is determined to forge ahead and work hard, which is exactly the move of Shanghe Heaven.

In a word, people will help themselves and God will help them!

Thinking of this, he realized something again.

At this time, his expression moved, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the other end of the plank road.

Now his five senses were sharp, and he could hear someone hurrying towards him from a distance.

After a while, the figure of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman came into view, she had a bun on her head, a long-sleeved dress with narrow sleeves, a man's outfit, and a sword pinned to her waist.

She came all the way to Zhang Yan, looked at him with a look full of unkindness, and asked, "You are Zhang Yan?"

Zhang Yan had never seen this woman in his life, and replied: "It's a contemptible person, who is the girl?"

"My name is Zhao Ying. The woman had a cold face, waved her hand and said, "Quickly pack up and follow me down the mountain, and it will change later." ”

Zhang Yan only felt inexplicable, and asked, "What does Miss Zhao mean?"

"You little ......" Zhao Ying was angry from his heart when he heard this, and he wanted to scold, but seeing Zhang Yanqi's Yu Xuanang, his temperament and demeanor were even more outstanding, and the word "thief" in the back couldn't be scolded, so he only glared at him fiercely, and said: "Do you still have the face to ask? It's that you hurt my brother!"

She secretly scolded in her heart that this guy had a good skin, no wonder she could deceive her brother!

Zhang Yan was stunned when he heard this, looked at the woman's appearance, vaguely similar to Zhao Yuan, thought about it, and suddenly realized, and asked, "But what's wrong with Senior Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Ying snorted coldly, his face full of resentment.

Zhang Yan was surprised, and sighed secretly, he had already seen that Zhao Yuan was full of joy and anger, and his mind was uncertain, and he had warned him to practice carefully, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong.

It turned out that Zhao Yuan listened to Zhang Yan's words at first last night, but he held the Taoist book in his hand and said that he could endure it? After repeated observation, he unconsciously began to practice, who knew that this method was related to it, and he worked too hard, so something went wrong, and he fainted after spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Because there was a major event in Cangwu Mountain in the past few days, his little sister Zhao Ying, who was originally practicing in Tai'anguan, happened to be on the mountain, and was furious when she heard it, thinking that Zhang Yan was just a liar, and ran to ask Min Lou why he killed his brother?

Originally, Zhang Yan's affairs Min Lou had only talked about it with a few Jiaohaode brothers, and many people didn't know about it, so in order to maintain his reputation, he had to stand up for Zhang Yan.

This result triggered a chain reaction, Cangwu Shangshan is now gathering Sanguan disciples, and Hu Shengyu, the introductory disciple of Dexiuguan, is also among them, and Bian Qiao, who sold the "Yongchuan Xingshui Book", is the person in charge.

After Bian Qiao learned about this, his first reaction was that someone was swaggering and cheating, and he didn't care. Later, as soon as Min Lou came forward, he felt that things were not simple, Min Lou had already been favored by the master, and sooner or later he would be an introductory disciple of Virtue Cultivation, and he would definitely not say anything.

Someone actually interprets the etching in private?

He was furious in his heart, the servants of Sanguan also often came and went, although they did not make it clear verbally, but no one crossed the line, Zhang Yan helped Min Lou and Zhao Yuan and others to decipher the eclipse in his opinion, it was to cut off his own financial route!

It's just that Zhang Yan is a disciple of Shanyuanguan, and he is not good at taking people directly, and then he thought about it, Zhao Yuan's incident just gave him an excuse, so he pretended to come to visit, saying that Zhao Yuan was relieved, and he would definitely seek justice for Dexiuguan.

Zhao Yuan woke up soon after, and was shocked when he learned about this, and called Zhao Ying over and scolded her, asking her to come over and talk to Zhang Yan immediately, and asked her to arrange for Zhang Yan to go down the mountain to avoid the limelight.

In his heart, he still believed that Zhang Yan was a liar, and he didn't dare to disobey Zhao Yuan's words, so he just thought about driving Zhang Yan down the mountain.

Zhao Ying reluctantly said a few words with Zhang Yan, although the words were secretive, Zhang Yan still roughly understood the cause and effect.

As soon as this incident happened, it seemed that he had attracted the attention of some people in advance, which came faster than expected, Zhao Yuanneng sent someone to inform him overnight that he was not afraid of danger and took refuge, which showed that this person was worthy of deep friendship.

Zhang Yan looked calm and said: "You go back and tell Brother Zhao that I already know about this matter, thank him for telling me in time, please don't worry about him, I have my own arrangements." ”

Zhao Ying was unwilling to work for Zhang Yan in her heart, and now seeing that he refused to go down the mountain, then she was even happier like this, and she was not against her brother's instructions, and she secretly said in her heart: "I don't know how powerful Bian Qiao is, when the evil slave arrives, there will be a good show for you to watch!"
