Chapter 88 The Old Man Teaches!
( ) "Huh?"
Fang Qiu let out a light sigh. . 』.
The old man had no inner energy at all.
Not even like a warrior.
But why are wolves afraid of this place?
Fang Qiu suppressed the doubts in his heart, bowed politely to the old man, and said with a smile:
"Old man, I'm almost out of water. I want to ask you for a drink of water. I don't know if that's okay."
"Yes, yes, but how did you get in this deep in the mountains and wild forests?"
The old man asked, looking Fang Qiu up and down.
"I'm a Chinese medicine doctor. I go into the mountains to find herbal medicine."
Fang Qiu replied.
"That's it..."
The old man nodded and said no more, "Come in."
"Thanks!"
Fang Qiu followed the old man into the house. The old man pointed to the water tank in the corner near the stove and said, "The water is here."
Fang Qiu turned around and pointed.
Finally, I was shocked.
Because the water tank is made of stone, and it is a whole piece of bluestone.
If the old man is not an expert, then this water tank should have been carved by himself after the old man, an ordinary man, found bluestone in the mountains.
I really admire the hard work.
After leading Fang Qiu to the water tank, the old man reached out and opened the wooden cover on the water tank, then took out a palm-sized bamboo tube, handed it to Fang Qiu and said, "Scoop and drink."
"thank you!"
Fang Qiu took the bamboo tube, immediately scooped up a tube of water, raised his head and drank it.
So sweet!
As soon as the water entered his mouth, Fang Qiu felt a refreshing sweetness.
From the throat to the stomach, it is very refreshing.
It’s been a long time since I drank such sweet water.
Such sweet water now only exists in childhood memories.
Finish drinking water.
"Thank you, old man."
Fang Qiu turned around and thanked the old man.
"It's just a little water, you're welcome."
The old man said with a smile.
Fang Qiu looked at the entire house, with stone walls and thatched roof.
Simple, but extremely simple!
He knows something about Yin Yang, Five Elements and Feng Shui configuration.
Naturally, the configurations everywhere in this thatched house are dark and Feng Shui Five Elements!
"Old man."
Fang Qiu turned his attention to the old man and asked with a smile: "Why do you live in this deep mountain and wild forest? And you are alone. Aren't you afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards?"
"hehe."
The old man chuckled and said, "It's just practice. The world is noisy. Find a quiet place to rest."
"As for the jackals, tigers and leopards, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that they won't eat me?"
Are you afraid it won't eat me?
Fang Qiu couldn't help but admire the old man.
What a powerful state of mind!
"You are just a natural thing!"
"I just prefer quiet."
The old man replied with a smile.
"May I ask how long you may live?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"It's already eighty-five this year."
The old man replied.
"Eighty-five?"
Fang Qiu looked at the old man in surprise. He thought that the old man was at most seventy years old, but he didn't expect that he was already eighty-five.
And at such an advanced age, he actually lives alone in the mountains and forests.
Unexpectedly, my daily life is normal, and my walking and living are not hindered.
Really awesome!
"You have such a good body."
Fang Qiu sighed, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "In this deep mountain and wild forest, young people may not be able to come here. How did I get here alone?"
By simple touch and induction.
He has determined that the old man is an ordinary person without any inner spirit.
An ordinary person with an extremely strong mind.
How could he not be curious that such an ordinary person could build a house and practice cultivation in a place where these beasts were looking around?
"If you are willing, you will come naturally."
The old man smiled slightly.
"You are already so old. Don't worry, your family. Don't you miss home?"
Fang Qiu asked.
"I don't even think about myself, so how can I talk about missing home?"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
Hearing this, Fang Qiu was stunned.
I don’t even think about myself, so how can I talk about homesickness?
There is a Zen meaning in this statement!
The old man once told him.
There are two kinds of people in the world who are most worthy of admiration. One is to establish a country, expand the territory and conquer the world.
One is a practitioner who has surrendered his mind.
These two types of people must be brave people. In terms of fearlessness and bravery, the second type of people is better than the first type of people.
It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to conquer yourself!
Comparing martial arts practitioners to these two types of people is like comparing a star to the bright moon, which is just a little bit of firefly light.
The old man in front of him didn't even think about himself and had already surrendered his mind.
Not even a self, not even a heart, not surrendered but already surrendered!
Fang Qiu raised his hands to the old man and sighed with admiration: "You are so powerful. You are not an ordinary person who can do things that you don't even want to do. You are so profound that the younger generation admires you!"
"Not great at all."
The old man shook his head and waved his hands, and said in apology, "The powerful ones are all practicing in the mortal world! I can't reach their level yet, so I can only hide in the deep mountains and forests to escape from the world and cultivate."
"If there is no situation disturbing me, I can be liberated. If there is a situation disturbing me, it is hard to say whether I can be liberated. So I am not powerful at all, and I only cultivate myself and eventually fall into Hinayana."
"You are humble!"
After Fang Qiu finished speaking, he changed his style, pointed to the small vegetable patch outside the door, and asked curiously: "Although you are in good health, at this age, it is not easy for you to hunt, so you rely on this vegetable patch outside the door. Can you eat enough?"
"One meal every two days is enough."
The old man replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Fang Qiu stood in awe.
Wealth, color, food and sleep are the five hindrances of Buddhism.
If you want to practice cultivation, you must break it. The old man has clearly lost his reputation, wealth, sex, sleep, and now food.
admire!
"It's dark inside, let's talk outside."
The old man said to Fang Qiu.
"good!"
Fang Qiu nodded.
Then the two of them walked out of the house and came to the two big blue stones next to the vegetable field.
Fang Qiu touched it with his hand and found that the big bluestone was not cold, so he did not stop the old man from sitting down.
One old and one young.
Sitting on the big bluestone.
The mountain breeze blows on my face, and the forest birds sing happily.
This picture is indescribably beautiful.
"Senior, I have a very curious question, and I would like to ask you to answer it."
Fang Qiu was ready to ask out the doubts in his heart.
"you say."
"I met a wolf three miles away. The wolf didn't dare to come here no matter what. When I came here, I didn't notice that you were any different from ordinary people. So why didn't the wolf dare to come here, as if he was afraid of something? have to?"
After Fang Qiu finished speaking, he waited patiently for the old man's answer.
"You said wolf."
The old man chuckled and said, "It and I are good friends. I rescued it once. I am good friends with many animals here. I guess it was because you chased it and it ran away and wanted me to help, but it didn't dare to go when it arrived. Maybe I’m leaving because I’m afraid you’ll hurt me.”
As he said that, he gave Qiu a deep look and said, "You are not just a simple Chinese medicine doctor, nor are you an ordinary person?"
Fang Qiu smiled and changed the subject: "Senior, I don't know, is there anything strange around here?"
He was going to ask the old man for information about Dibao.
Maybe the other party knows?
"Strange place?"
The old man did not continue to ask whether Fang Qiu was an ordinary person, but thought for a moment and said, "There is a place thirty miles east of here. You can often see the bones of various ferocious animals there. Many of my animal friends went there. He’s not coming, and I don’t know why.”
Hear the words.
Fang Qiu's heart moved.
The bones of various ferocious animals?
In this deep mountain and wild forest, those ferocious animals that the old man said were enough to be kings, how could they often turn into bones?
Could it be the guardian spirit beast of heavenly materials and earthly treasures?
Only spiritual beasts could kill so many ferocious animals.
There is a great possibility of finding treasures everywhere!
Fang Qiu immediately put down the backpack behind him, opened it, took out a wild ginseng and two Ganoderma lucidum, handed them to the old man and said respectfully: "Senior, these are some herbs I found in the mountains. I treat them as repaying you for helping me solve the problem." I still have the feeling of sending water to you, and I wish you a long life."
Who knows.
"don't want."
The old man shook his head and said, "What do I need your herbal medicine for?"
"These herbs are all wild, please take them to replenish your health."
"Weng," Fang Qiu said sincerely.
"There's nothing wrong with my body. It's life and death, no matter what it does."
The old man shook his head again, "Besides, the most important thing in the world is sleep."
Speaking of which.
Old Wengqiu glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said: "Since you are a Chinese medicine doctor, let me tell you something that cannot be learned in Chinese medicine books."
"Please tell me."
Fang Qiu said respectfully.
"Actually, a person's real sleep time is only two hours at most. The rest is a waste of time."
The old man's words were astonishing.
"They are all dreaming while lying on the pillow. There is no one in this world who does not dream. As for those who wake up and feel that they have not dreamed, it is because they have forgotten."
"Usually two hours of sleep is enough for a person, so why would someone need to sleep for seven or eight hours?"
"That's all because of the habit of staying in bed and resting on the pillow. Anyone who meditates and does kung fu knows that as long as you close your eyes and fall asleep for three minutes at noon, it is equivalent to sleeping for two hours, but this requires The time is right at noon. At night, you should fall asleep at midnight. Five minutes of sleep at that time is equal to six hours."
Fang Qiu was slightly shocked when he heard the old man's words.
He didn't expect that the old man actually understood this.
It was confirmed by the old man himself.
Sure enough, it is not recorded in Chinese medicine books!
"The knowledge gained at this time is already great."
After pondering for a moment, the old man continued, "It has something to do with the laws of the universe, the laws of the earth, the principles of Yin and Yang of the I Ching, and you will feel that there is a force coming down from the bottom of the heart, merging with the power of the Dantian, water and fire are combined, and suddenly, Then you’ve had enough sleep and you’ll feel more energetic.”
"So, if you have insomnia or really have to stay up late, you must go to sleep during the twelfth hour, even if it is only twenty minutes. If you can't fall asleep, you must train yourself to fall asleep. After about half past twelve o'clock, you will not think about it. When you fall asleep, it feels terrible.”
"What's more serious is that when it's almost dawn, around four or five o'clock, or between five and six o'clock, you're so sleepy that you'll feel dizzy all day long if you fall asleep at this time."
"So, just like today, the human body also has day and night. If you want to replenish yourself, you have to replenish yourself and sleep. No matter how good the herbal medicine is, it is still a foreign object to your body."
Having said this, the old man stroked his beard and smiled.
Quite a sense of contentment.
"I admire you, senior, you are really amazing."
Fang Qiu sighed.
I didn’t expect that there is so much knowledge about sleeping.
He also knew about Wu Shi Zi Shi before, but he didn't say it so clearly as the old man did.
"brat."
The old man smiled, glanced at Qiu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since you and I are destined to be together, and we are both medical students and familiar with herbal medicine, I will teach you a way to treat stomach problems."
"Juniors are all ears!"
Fang Qiu said happily.
