Chapter 9: Mystery
With the tuna, his dantian became warmer and warmer, and his whole body was like soaking in a hot spring, which turned out to be a beautiful thing in general with meditation.
After the dantian was warm, he no longer breathed in, and began to guide the qi with his gods, along the second vein of Rendu, circulating for a week, and the internal force increased slightly, and he was warm and comfortable.
After a while, his dantian felt full again, so he stopped.
It's just that this time, the Baihui acupoint is not opened, no nectar drips, and the internal force does not grow as rapidly as before, what is the reason for this?
Li Muzen pondered for a moment, thoughtful.
He sat down again, his hands sealed, and he wanted to settle down, but there was a chuckle in his ears, it was the voice of his sister-in-law Zhao Yiyi, he shook his head, unsealed his hands, and left the room.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, silver light was sprinkled all over, Unai clarified, insect chirping sounded in the ears, and Zhao Yiyi's chuckle sounded from time to time.
The moonlight overflowed the entire courtyard, but I saw a family of four sitting around a round table, and the pear wood round table was placed next to the flower garden, and the fragrance of flowers was lingering.
Li Zhuzi, Qin Shi, Zhao Yiyi, and Li Yurong were eating fruit while gossiping, leisurely and comfortable.
Seeing him come out, Qin's beautiful face showed a smile, and he stretched out his arm and beckoned softly: "San'er!"
Li Muchan walked over and sat down next to her, on the other side was Zhao Yiyi, wearing a blue and white broken clothes, Chu Chu was moving, smiled and nodded to him, and the fragrance on his body penetrated into his nose.
"San'er, have you entered the Mei Mansion?" asked Qin with a smile.
Li Muchan nodded and took a piece of watermelon handed over by Zhao Yiyi.
"Okay, since you have entered the mansion, you should do it well, work hard, and don't be looked down upon. Qin said softly.
Li Muchan smiled: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass my mother!"
Qin said with a smile: "You three sisters and brothers, as far as you have a lot of ghost ideas, I don't have to worry about it." ”
She sighed again and shook her head: "Xiaojian's daughter-in-law, she looks good, has a good figure, and is a virtuous daughter-in-law who is suitable for birth and raising, which is really good!"
"Li Jianle crooked his mouth, right?" Li Muchan lowered his head and took a bite of watermelon and said with a smile.
Li Zhuzi coughed and snorted, "Xiaojian, this kid is also out of breath,...... I was a child before, and I came to play with you every day, just like a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, I am going to start a family!"
Li Muchan smiled, didn't answer, glanced at Li Yurong, Li Yurong glanced at him, her eyes were bright, and she hurriedly diverted her words: "Dad, let's eat!"
Qin Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, Yiyi, are you hungry?"
Zhao Yiyi smiled and shook her head: "No,...... Mother, sit still, I'll bring it. ”
She got up, Li Yurong followed, and the two went into the kitchen together.
Li Muchan finally didn't escape, Li Zhuzi continued to talk, shook his head and sighed: "Look at it, Xiaojian is also going to marry a daughter-in-law, and he will be able to hold his grandson after the New Year!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Dad, let's say this to the eldest brother!"
"Hmph, his wings are stiff, and he won't listen to my old man for a long time!" Li Zhuzi snorted.
Li Muchan said with a smile: "Dad, you have wronged the eldest brother, he has been a deputy deacon for a long time, and his tone is naturally hard, why should my father be like him!"
Li Zhuzi sighed: "It's a pity, you can't be vulgar, otherwise, you should get married!"
Qin said: "Old man, don't bother San'er, the emperor only issued an edict last year, and the monk is not allowed to return to the vulgar, so you will break this idea!"
"Alas...... , my life......" Li Zhuzi shook his head and sighed.
After eating, Li Muchan sat with his parents, second sister and sister-in-law and chatted, rambling, nothing more than some parents and neighborhood trivialities.
Li Muchan was not too troublesome, but listened to it with relish.
In his previous life, he felt that a man's husband should pay attention to the world's major affairs, and should not pay attention to these trivial things, wasting energy.
When he arrived in this world, he suddenly realized that among the little things like the joy of life, it is interesting not to be stumped by it, to look down on it, and to savor it.
The night was dark, Li Muchan urged everyone to sleep, and missed the meridian nap, which caused great damage to the body of the second elder.
Everyone dispersed in amazement, and Li Muchan returned to the West House.
Three main houses, the middle is the living room, Li Zhuzi and Qin in the east, Li Muchan lives in the west, Li Yurong in the east wing, and Li Mufeng and his wife in the west wing.
Li Mufeng often smiled bitterly, and the status of the three sisters and brothers in the family could be seen from the house where they lived.
It was quiet outside, the moonlight was shining, the breeze was swirling among the flowers and leaves, his ears were greatly strengthened, he could hear clearly, and the more he felt that the courtyard was quiet.
With a peace in his heart, he blew out the lamp and went to the couch, sat on his knees, his hands were sealed, his body was loosened, his expression slowed down, he smiled slightly, and soon entered the realm of meditation.
With the passage of time, his heart lake was clear, his consciousness was clear, a few wisps of distracting thoughts quickly fell silent, and a faint joy flooded up, eager to stay here forever, assimilating with heaven and earth.
This is to enter the realm of the first Zen, his mind moved, a wisp of warm breath of dantian floated out, bet on the perineum, and then follow the pulse of the governor, successfully passed the three levels, and entered the Baihui.
Internal force, his mind is not moving, distracting thoughts are not born, and he clearly feels the warmth of internal force, which flows endlessly in Baihui.
After circling for a few breaths, suddenly, a drop of nectar fell from the Baihui Cave Sky, and suddenly the internal force sank, turning clouds into rain, descending the twelve floors, and falling into the dantian.
The dantian suddenly became extremely warm and swelled slightly.
He was slightly happy in his heart, and the heart lake quickly calmed down with a slight wave, and continued to use his divine qi to derive a small wisp of internal force from the dantian, rising along the Du vein, to Baihui, and then a drop of nectar, and down the Ren vein.
For three weeks in a row, his dantian soured, so he stopped, slowly came out of the state of meditation, and with a smile on his face, he knew that he had solved a great mystery.
The wonder of the human body, it is really unimaginable, the top of the nectar, such a wonderful scene, if you say it to outsiders, I am afraid that it will feel absurd, it is talking about mythology.
From this point of view, if this technique of breathing is cultivated alone, it is just a matter of following the line and superintendent, although the strength increases every week, but the increase is not as good as the nectar falling from the sky.
I don't know what the mystery is, and we need to explore it slowly.
If you want to open the cave and rain nectar, you have to enter the realm of the first Zen, without a trace of distractions, for ordinary people, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Buddhism is divided into two sects, no sect says that the four are empty, these four are earth, water, wind and fire, these four constitute the heaven and earth, and the qi belongs to the wind.
Once the mind is focused on qi, it is very easy to fall into the demonic obstacle and fall into the yin realm, which is extremely harmful.
People in the martial arts are cultivating qi and guiding qi with intention.
It stands to reason that the two have different paths to the same end, and when they practice to a high depth, they are both pure in their minds and without a trace of distractions.
But this special path is a lot worse, Buddhism practice the heart, compared with the martial arts heart, is much more special, there is a difference in straight lines.
He sat down and paced slowly in the room, smiling slightly, so it seemed that his deep meditation was of great help to the cultivation of internal strength.
It's just that the secret book of Tianyuan Tuna only talks about the practice method, not the level, I don't know what the third layer is, looking at the appearance of the three senior brothers, it must be extremely difficult.
He thought for a while, put it down, leaned over and opened the small bedside cabinet, and wanted to take out the volume of "Watching the Heavens and Gods and Gods to Shine on the Scriptures" to study.
"Huh?!" he opened the door, his face changing dramatically.
He smiled bitterly, and took out a torn booklet, the top half of which was missing, only the bottom half, and the left half of the middle of the bottom half was missing.
Flipping over, you can vaguely see a lotus flower breaking out of the lake, slim and elegant, this damaged booklet is "Watching the Heavens and Gods Illuminating the Sutra"!
Li Muchan looked at it, shook his head with a wry smile, and slammed the wall hard: "Alas-!"
There was a muffled "bang", which startled him.
Suddenly, just after practicing the Tianyuan Breathing Technique, his strength increased a few points, but he didn't notice it, it seemed that the meditation kung fu was still insufficient, and as soon as he was disturbed by external objects, his five senses immediately lost their sharpness.
"What's the matter, San'er?!" Qin knocked on the door hurriedly outside, and as soon as the door "creaked", Li Yurong's soft voice came, clear and mellow: "Little San'er, what are you doing?"
Li Muchan stepped forward and opened the door, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, it's time to take care of our rats!"
Qin Shi stood outside the door wearing a single coat, looked at him in the moonlight, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, what's the matter with the rats getting in your way?"
"Look at it!" Li Muchan took out the "Viewing Heaven and Man God Illumination Sutra", and said angrily.
Qin Shi looked down and couldn't help laughing: "I don't blame me, it's all your father's fault, I said I wanted a cat, but he didn't agree, saying that the cat was a destroyer and couldn't be raised!"
"Giggles, Dad likes to eat fish, he's afraid that cats will rob him!" Li Yurong chuckled.
Li Yurong was wearing a moon-white monk's robe, and it seemed that she hadn't fallen asleep, she glanced at the booklet, pursed her lips and smiled: "San'er, what kind of secret is this, so precious?"
She knows this younger brother, the surname is quiet, the divine will is transcendent in the world, ordinary things can't move his heart at all, such a look, this thing must be unbelievable.
"Dead girl, don't make me up!" Li Zhuzi's voice came from the east room.
Zhao Yiyi also wore a pink dress, her hair was shawl, and she was a little more charming under the moonlight.
She looked at the booklet and said softly, "Uncle, are there any fragments left?" I'll help you glue them!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Those are all filled with rat stomachs!"
"Then it can't be helped. Zhao Yiyi pursed her lips and forced a smile.
"Mother, you have mistaken my big event!" Li Muchan shook his head.
Qin pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Okay, it's all mine, isn't it...... I didn't tell you, they were too bold to dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head!"
Li Yurong stretched out her hand and copied it, snatched it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Watching the heavens and the gods follow the scriptures...... , what kind of sutra is this, I haven't heard of it!"
The pamphlet was bitten to pieces, except for a lotus flower, and the following words remained.
Li Muchan sighed: "This is a gift from a senior monk before his death, I have never understood the mystery, and now I am dead!"
Li Yurong pursed her lips and smiled: "It seems that you are destined for it!"
"Second sister, you are gloating!" Li Muchan snorted angrily.
"Okay, go back to sleep, it's so late!" Li Yurong coaxed in a childlike tone.
It was rare to see the third brother so angry, she really thought it was funny and couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, go back to sleep, Yiyi, you have to go back to your parents' house tomorrow, don't sleep too late,...... San'er, the matter has come to this point, you can relax, you should be accidentally lost by yourself!"
Qin Shi said a word, smiled and turned around.
Zhao Yiyi pursed her ruddy little mouth vigorously, looking strange, glanced at Li Muchan, and hurriedly turned around and went back to the west wing.
After everyone dispersed, Li Muchan was helpless, so he could only shake his head, go back to the house, and sit on the couch.
After a while, his heart was calm, he was not alarmed, his anger and unwillingness were all dissolved, and peace and joy were restored.
With his hands sealed, he entered meditation again, mastered it with ease, and soon his mind sank into tranquility and serenity, and everything around him disappeared, only a thought lingered.
Suddenly, his thoughts struck him, and he remembered the lotus plant.
In a clear lake, a lotus flower breaks open the surface of the lake, slim and elegant, under the bright sunshine, the bright lotus petals are like thin jade pieces, crystal clear, one petal, two petals, three petals...... , a total of nine petals.
The water of the lake is the same as that of the Ming Lake in Meifu, which is so clear that it is almost transparent, and the mud, stones, swimming fish, and aquatic plants below can be seen in the past.
I haven't seen Ming Lake, I don't know that the lake water can be so clear, a little clearer than the hot spring behind Chengjing Temple, and the mood of the view is suddenly clear.
A breeze blows, the lotus petals tremble, bright and flawless, he contemplates the lake and the lotus flower, and his heart is full of joy and silence.
He practiced meditation and meditation with only the method of stopping, eliminating distracting thoughts, and making his thoughts as pure as glass.
I also know a thing or two about the Fa Meditation, and I also practiced it at the beginning, but I just tried it and didn't cultivate deeply, because the Dharma Observation requires the guidance of the master on the side, and there is often a risk of going mad.
He once heard a secret story from his master's surname, when the Buddha first turned to the Dharma, he once taught his disciples to view the Dharma with white bones, and many disciples committed suicide after cultivating, which shows its danger.
Since his master's surname was Yuan, he didn't dare to practice the Fa, and only stopped reciting one door.
He once visualized the whole picture, and it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't imagine it, when the picture was gnawed by mice, and only the lotus flower and the lake remained, he was tempted to visualize this remnant picture.
When he practiced Buddhism to a certain level, he faintly felt that there were countless threads connecting heaven and earth, and realized the existence of "fate".
He had seen the lake during the day, and his heart was happy, but when he imagined it, he did not feel any difficulty, but gave birth to a slight joy, and his whole body was comfortable, as if he had turned into a lotus flower, bathed in the bright sunshine, blowing a soft breeze.
I don't know how time passes, I don't know how long I have been contemplating, and suddenly, he will open a hundred holes, and a drop of nectar from the sky will fall softly.
The nectar drips from the Baihui acupoint, falls accurately on the lotus, and then is absorbed by the lotus pod, disappears, and the lotus faintly blooms with a trace of light, looming, as if it has really become a warm white jade.
He was overjoyed at first glance, but the picture in front of him suddenly turned into pieces and exploded, and his eyes fell into darkness again.
Slowly opening his eyes, he let go of his handprint, unseated himself, pushed open the window, and the moonlight poured in, shining on his bald head, shining.
Looking up at the sky and thinking about it, he deduced that now is the turn of the meridian, when the yin qi is at its peak.
He also observed himself, and his spirit was vigorous, as if he had woken up from a deep sleep, and his whole body was refreshed, and he did not feel sleepy at all, so he sat down on the couch again and entered meditation.
He used meditation instead of sleep, and the effect was wonderful, and the meditation was more wonderful and the rest was more adequate than sleeping.
The next day, after breakfast, I went to Li Jian's house, and the two went to Jinyang City together.
As he walked, Li Jian looked at him twice and said with a smile: "Mu Chan, you slept well last night, I see that you are in good spirits." ”
Li Muchan was dressed in a gray monk's robe, wearing Buddhist beads in his hands, and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck.
He smiled: "You didn't sleep, are you thinking about your daughter-in-law?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Jian blushed.
Li Muchan smiled: "My daughter-in-law is still satisfied, right?"
"It's okay...... The order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can I speak!" Li Jian pursed his lips.
Li Muchan smiled: "Okay, don't be pretty, your father and mother can beat you?!"
Li Jian smiled, the two talked and laughed all the way, and when they arrived in Jinyang City, they separated in front of the Chaoran Building, Li Jian entered the Chaoran Building, and he went to Meifu.
At the gate of the Mei Mansion, there are still four big men standing in two rows, with sharp eyes and solemn expressions, and together with the two stone lions, they constitute a forest and a momentum.
A square-faced man took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Little Master Zhanran, the commander asked you to go directly to him!"
"Okay, thank you. Li Muchan nodded, saluted, stepped into the Mei Mansion, and then went straight west along the Ming Lake to the martial arts training ground.
The martial arts training ground was very lively.
Under the bright sunshine, some practice fists and feet, some swing swords, or some are motionless, like wooden chickens, practicing pile skills, and some are running like flying, practicing light skills.
Jin Kaitai was standing on the high platform in the center with his hands behind his back, his body was slightly arched like a black bear, his eyes were like eagle falcons, he saw him from a distance, his eyes fell, he only felt his body tight, and he was busy retracting his mind.
Along the gravel road in the middle, to the high platform, he tithes: "Commander!"
Jin Kaitai kept looking at him, his eyes were like an awl, and Li Muchan was calm and unaware.
After looking at him for a while, Jin Kaitai let go of his eyes, softened, bowed his head lightly, and said in a deep voice: "How are you practicing?"
Li Muchan said: "The second senior brother has told me, and there are still some questions that I don't understand. ”
"Tell me about it. Kim Kaitai nodded.
Li Muchan said: "After two weeks of internal force, the dantian began to rise, what is going on, does it matter?"
"Wait!" Jin Kaitai frowned and said in a deep voice: "You said that the internal force has been turning for two days?!"
"Well, two weeks later, the dantian has risen, and I don't dare to practice anymore. Li Muchan nodded.
Jin Kaitai frowned: "You just started practicing the Tianyuan Tuna Technique, and you can feel the internal force?"
"Yes, after an hour, the dantian was full of anger, rushed out by himself, went up from behind the pulse, and then came down from the front of the Ren pulse, and after returning to the dantian, it rose a lot. Li Muchan said slowly.
"Wait!" Jin Kaitai hurriedly waved his hand and looked him up and down, Li Muchan's expression was calm and his eyes were peaceful.
Jin Kaitai pressed his temple with his left hand, seemed to have a headache, thought about it, frowned and said, "The mouth is not clear, you can practice it for me to see." ”
"Here?" Li Muchan looked at.
“...... Let's go, go back to the Heavenly Academy!" Jin Kaitai turned around and strode down the high platform.
Li Muchan followed behind him, and the two soon arrived at the Heavenly Courtyard Courtyard, which was silent at this time.
"They all went out to practice, and it happened to be quiet!" Jin Kaitai saw Li Muchan looking left and right, as if he was looking for someone, and said.
He pointed to the porch again, and the two of them went over and sat down in the porch.
Between the scarlet pillars were wide logs, forming benches, wide and flat enough to sit cross-legged, with several futons on them.
Li Muchan sat down cross-legged, Jin Kaitai sat behind him, put his right palm on his vest, and said in a deep voice: "Zhan Ran, you can do your luck." ”
Li Muchan nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and began to breathe.
After a few sips, the dantian warmed up, as if a fire was lit under the ding, and it was slowly warmed.
Soon the dantian gushed out an internal force, down the perineum, straight through the three levels, hundreds of meetings, and then down the twelve-story building, into the dantian, to complete a week.
His body was warm, like soaking in a hot spring, and it was extremely beautiful, so he guided the internal force to turn for two weeks, and the dantian slowly rose, and then he received the gong, and the qi was in the dantian.
He let go of his hand, turned to Jin Kaitai who was standing in the corridor and said, "Commander, is there anything wrong?"
Jin Kaitai's eyes widened at this time, looking at him in a daze, with a strange expression.
Li Muchan's words woke him up, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Zhan Ran, you really haven't practiced internal skills?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I have been practicing Buddhist meditation kung fu, and I have never practiced internal strength. ”
"What the hell!" Kim Kaitai muttered to himself.
"Commander?" Li Muchan hurriedly said: "How can I practice to the third level, there is no level written on the secret book." ”
Jin Kaitai looked at him strangely: "Third layer? hehe, you have completed your practice,...... It's done!"
"Practiced?" Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "In this way, I can go home at night?"
"My words count!" Jin Kaitai nodded hurriedly, and then said, "Zhan Ran, did you eat any elixir when you were a child?"
Li Muchan shook his head.
Jin Kaitai still didn't give up, looked at him, thought about it, and said, "Then how can you, the second vein, the governor, be so easy to penetrate?"
"When I was practicing meditation, it seemed like I had unintentionally opened up the ,...... What's wrong?" Li Mu said.
Jin Kaitai slapped his thigh: "It turned out to be the power of Buddhism...... No wonder!"
He hurriedly smiled again: "Hehe, not only is there nothing wrong, but it is a great joy...... Zhan Ran, do you know the twelve meridians of the body and the eight meridians of the strange meridians?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I heard the second senior brother talk about it yesterday, but I don't know very well. ”
"Then I'll tell you about it. Jin Kaitai said.
He sat on the railing, looked at the lake as clear as a mirror, and said slowly: "The human body is very mysterious, the inside of the body is similar to nature, these twelve canons are like big rivers, and the internal qi is like a river, flowing in the twelve canons. ”
Li Muchan nodded lightly and listened carefully.
"And these eight meridians are like lakes, and the lakes are interconnected through the twelve meridians. Jin Kaitai said slowly.
He added: "However, the eight veins of this strange meridian are born with yin, and there are several checkpoints to isolate the connection with the twelve canons, just like this Ming Lake. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the clear lake in front of him, the surface of the lake was calm and unwavering.
Li Muchan nodded slowly, signaling understanding.
Kim Kaitai continued: "Only when the lake is too full can it overflow into the river, or if the river is too full, it will also flow back. ”
He also said: "When normal people practice martial arts, they often bypass the eight veins of the Qi Sutra and practice the 12 Righteous Scriptures, so as to guide the qi with the intention and circulate within certain Orthodox Scriptures to enhance their internal strength,...... Don't you know that these enhanced internal forces are all overflowing from the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and they are very small, so the cultivation of internal forces must be accumulated over time, and they must not be fast. ”
Immediately, he perked up and turned his head violently: "But the Tianyuan Tuna Technique is different!"
Li Muchan nodded slowly, Tianyuan Tuna Technique is indeed different.
"Tianyuan Tuna Technique is to start directly from the second pulse of Rendu, with the internal force obtained by spitting, impact the second pulse of Rendu, once it is opened, it is like connecting a lake, there is naturally a spring in this lake, and the internal force will be born in a steady stream, compared with the occasional overflow, the world is different!"
At this point, his eyes lit up and his spirits were high.
Immediately, he sighed again: "It's a pity, this Tianyuan Tuna Technique is too difficult, and none of the four disciples of the Heavenly Lord's Court have practiced it!"
He shook his head and sighed: "These guys are eager for quick success, and some of them regret it later...... Once you cultivate other mental methods and go through the twelve canons, it will be difficult to climb to the sky and the eight veins of the Heavenly Wonder Sutra in the future!"
"Why is that?" asked Li Muchan.
Jin Kaitai sneered: "The internal strength heart method is the twelve canons, like the famous "Shaoyang Sutra" in our Meifu, and the hand Shaoyang and the foot Shaoyang two meridians,...... As soon as the qi in these twelve canons is full, it overflows into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, reinforcing the level, the deeper the skill, the more it overflows, and the higher the level of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the stronger it is,...... After accumulating like this, it is unbreakable at all, and I want to break away...... , hum, dream!"
Li Muchan nodded and was silent.
He felt that his brain was extremely flexible today, and Jin Kaitai's words were remembered as soon as he heard them, and he understood them as soon as he heard them, and he faintly felt that it was because of the observation of heaven and man.
His mind was racing, and he thought to himself: In this way, if you want to impact the second pulse of Ren Du, meditation is better than this Tianyuan Tuna technique.
At the time of entry, the internal qi overflows the dantian, naturally gushing out, impacting the second pulse of Ren Du, at this time, the mind is still firmly in the air, the mind is not moving, and the whole body is relaxed.
And the Tianyuan Tuna Technique, when the internal force impacts, he unconsciously has the idea of rushing away, and the body is invisibly tense, and the level naturally becomes more and more solid.
Of course, being able to ignore physical abnormalities, distracting thoughts, and unmoved hearts naturally requires extremely deep meditation skills, which few people can do.
However, the method of concentrating internal qi in this Tianyuan Breathing Technique is even more special.
Jin Kaitai wiped his face, his passionate expression disappeared for a moment, and he returned to peace.
He turned his head to look over and said in a deep voice, "Zhan Ran, what do you want...... Now that you've cultivated the Tianyuan Tuna Technique, you can choose an internal strength heart method!"
Li Muchan said slowly: "Commander, I want to cultivate the Vajra Immortal Skill!"
"King Kong is not bad for divine skills?" Jin Kaitai's brows furrowed again.
