Chapter 5 To Resist External Regrets, You Need to Strengthen Yourself

The breeze was blowing, the leaves were shaking, and looking down from the top of the mountain made one feel open-minded, but Wu Yi's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was solemn, and he did not show his heroic spirit, but his sorrow.

Today's experience told him that although there are things like money, friends, and places in the path of cultivating immortals, all of this depends on others and is momentum, and he cannot decide it himself.

He has the master's teachings, but what the master says is not something he can decide. Although today's class is not in vain, it is not very useful to him at present. The most urgent thing is to get angry and open up the true qi seeds, otherwise he will occupy the quota in vain and be ridiculed. Then he might be driven down the mountain.

Wu Yi only has more than a month, and there is a small class every five days and a big class every month. Where does he get so much time to waste? He was nearly five months behind others in the beginning. Those teachers who taught the course decided to explain the course according to the speed of most people's cultivation, which is understandable. There is no reason to find it. The jealous people will probably be angry and choke him to death with a word that someone who does not follow the usual rules.

There is no clear master-disciple relationship in Yiqi Taoist Temple, which means that even if Wu Yi looks for an opportunity to find the master to clarify his doubts, he may not get an answer.

Although these masters are of high status, most of them have no hope of advancement. They seek longevity and wealth and do not want to be involved in worldly affairs. Of course, if you have a talent that exceeds your peers and enter the master's eyes, it is not difficult to get the teachings, but Wu Yi gave up the desire to ask for advice when he remembered the look in the master's eyes when he first looked at him.

Thinking deeply, Wu Yi closed his eyes and stood firmly on the top of the mountain, with no distractions in his mind, letting the breeze blow past, drilling into the wide sleeves, and then drilling out of the sleeves.

Until he felt a little cool, Wu Yi woke up from his meditative state. When he looked up, he saw the sky full of sunset clouds. He had been meditating for nearly three hours, and even if he was irritable in his heart, he calmed down at this time.

After turning back to the cave and having a quick dinner, Wu Yi took out the book "Small Zhoutian Moving Technique" which was pressed in the book pile. He had previously intended to recite it, but this time he intended to practice it.

Looking at the book, Wu Yi smiled, with mixed feelings in his heart. After wandering around for several days, he had hoped to listen to the master's teachings to prevent himself from practicing carelessly and making mistakes. In the end, he still had to rely on himself.

Leaving his hometown, he was alone and weak, and he had just entered the immortal path. Wu Yi was not confident from the bottom of his heart, and he suddenly got the position of a disciple. He urgently needed to prove himself, otherwise he would face the risk of being driven down the mountain.

Being trapped inside and outside, Wu Yi placed his hopes on others, but today he saw that his hopes were gone, and his internal fears and external worries all broke out. How could Wu Yi not be restless in his heart?

"Small Zhoutian Moving Technique" is as its name suggests, mainly explaining the method of luck, and the part of sensing qi is rarely mentioned.

It is worth mentioning that the qi in the qi is not the qi from the outside world, but the innate qi of oneself. Yi means whole and all, referring to all the innate qi.

At the beginning of life, a person receives air from the mother through the umbilical cord in the womb. The fetus's air is connected to the mother's air, the mother's air is connected to the air of the universe, and the air of the universe is connected to the air of Taihe. At that time, there is no mouth and nose breathing, and the two meridians of Ren and Du are connected without any barriers, which is called "fetal breathing". When the fetus is full in ten months, it breaks out of the womb, cuts the umbilical cord, and its orifices are closed. The upper part of its breathing is in the mouth and nose, and the lower part is in the coccyx, which becomes the breathing of ordinary people. Ordinary people's breathing goes down the throat and returns to the lungs, and everyone's breathing is observed. Its air is rough and floating, and the exhalation is long and the inhalation is short. From then on, the air of Taihe in the universe cannot go down to the abdomen, and the innate ancestral air stored in the abdomen, called the innate primordial energy, moves and releases more, and is lost in the universe. Over time, the innate energy is lost too much, the kidney pulse is weak, the root is not solid, all kinds of diseases arise, and death is approaching.

Because the number of people born from heaven and earth is limited, it is important to know that preserving energy is to preserve life. Therefore, if ordinary people want to seek the art of longevity, they should also seek the method of prolonging life. The cultivation of Taoism is to return to the origin and return to the innate state of an infant to increase life span. The method of breathing allows breathing to return to the root and preserve the innate qi. If the qi is sufficient, all diseases can be cured. Only when the root of life is consolidated can the higher level of cultivation be discussed. The Danjing says that "if you want to light a long-lasting lamp, you must use the method of adding oil." This is true.

The birth of qi means the budding of one's own innate qi. On this road, there are two major difficulties. One is that one cannot sense one's own innate qi. The other is that when mobilizing the innate qi, the exercises are not performed properly, causing the innate qi to be lost in vain and the life span is reduced.

Almost 99% of people are blocked from sensing qi. They cannot cross the first level of entering the immortal path, let alone practice afterwards.

But for those who sense qi, mobilizing the innate qi is more important. If this step is not handled well, they will lag behind others and even be in danger of falling. So be careful.

Wu Yi carefully read the original book and put it away. In fact, he had already memorized these, but he was still worried, especially those Taoist terms. These terms were taught by the master in class, without any text. Now Wu Yi had no choice but to practice by guessing. This was actually one of the reasons why Wu Yi was unwilling to practice independently at the beginning.

Eliminate distracting thoughts, sit cross-legged, hold your knees with your hands, put your tongue against the upper palate, close your eyes slightly, and look inward with light...

According to the requirements of the Taoist book, Wu Yi began his first practice. The night gradually deepened. The insects outside the cave kept chirping, adding some vitality to the quiet night. The candlelight was dim, and the beads emitted bright light.

Dong Dong Dong - the knock on the door woke Wu Yi up. He rubbed his eyes and just wanted to move around, but found that his whole body was sore. It turned out that Wu Yi fell asleep while meditating last night. The posture was not right and his whole body was in pain.

Enduring the pain, Wu Yi simply combed his hair and opened the door to welcome the meal.

Outside the door, instead of the middle-aged man wearing a yellow scarf, he became a young man not much older than Wu Yi. Wu Yi couldn't help but feel suspicious. When he took the meal, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "The strongman before Where did you go?"

A trace of panic flashed in the corner of the young man's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "My father was injured today. I didn't mean to be late." As he said that, the young man repeatedly promised Wu Yi that he would not be late next time.

Wu Yi then took a look at the sky. It turned out that it was already Chen hour. In the past, it was delivered shortly after Mao hour. Today, it was nearly an hour late. Wu Yi, who was too exhausted from practicing, only realized it now.

Seeing Wu Yi looking up at the sky and ignoring him, the young man panicked. In his eagerness, he knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Yi, promising that he would never be late tomorrow.

Wu Yi was thinking about the energy-consuming practice and had no time to look at him. When he suddenly knelt down, he helped him up before he finished speaking, patted the dust on his body, and comforted him: "I got up late anyway. It doesn’t hurt to deliver it later.”

The young man's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked on his words: "I, Lin Li, will never be late tomorrow and delay my cultivation of immortality."

Wu Yi hummed, said a few words briefly, and then let him go down the mountain.

Looking at the vast sea of ​​clouds in the distance, Wu Yi sighed and finally took action.

Today's meal delivery was an hour late, which was a test by those people. Who were those people? Whether they were senior brothers or professors or deacons, Wu Yi didn't know, but he knew that those people must not like him, and they were enemies rather than friends.

Although the young man who called himself Lin Li did not tell Wu Yi what happened, Wu Yi, who had been accustomed to conspiracies since childhood, knew what happened without deduction. It's just that Guanzhu Wang has not seen him in the past few days, which has given some people who can't stand him an opportunity to test him.

Naturally, the first test should not go too far, so he started with the food. It occurred to him that the middle-aged man wearing a yellow scarf was made difficult and even injured by them when delivering the food to him. After the delay, the people retreated and the young man was able to come up. Bring him food.

In fact, after thinking about this, Wu Yi still had some doubts. The young man didn't look like he was being forced. Most people usually avoid to protect themselves after being oppressed by power. After those people did this, if no one brought food to Wu Yi, they would definitely arrange it themselves. The quality of the food It is conceivable, and why the young man came, is it just because Wu Yi once showed kindness to his father? Yes, Wu Yi had already suspected the young man, and this was one of the reasons why he didn't ask what happened.

Sitting at the table, Wu Yi has not eaten for a long time. He is planning how to deal with it. When he was studying in the Imperial College, he also encountered similar things. He just stayed put and waited for an opportunity to be exposed. However, he could not use the same method to deal with the same encounter. As for other things, even if he files a lawsuit, no one will necessarily pay attention to him, and those people can easily push it away without getting any dirt on him.

Thinking of this, Wu Yi couldn't help but glance at the Taoist book on the table. Sure enough, Wang Chuchen's path was the most correct! Strengthen yourself, improve your cultivation, remain unchanged in response to all changes, and let others have their tricks. My realm is already incomparable, so what should I be afraid of?

All the problems seemed to have been put back in place, and although there were endless solutions, none were available.

Wu Yi, who was exhausted mentally and physically, finished his meal quickly. It must be said that Wu Yi had never practiced cultivation before and did not know the benefits of this meal. Now that he has practiced too much and eats it, it actually has the effect of warming and nourishing his spirit. It is no wonder that those people start with the meal. , that is, if you don’t practice, you will feel hungry if you don’t eat just one meal.

After closing his eyes and concentrating for a while, Wu Yi came out of the cave. The warm sun was shining on his body, the breeze was blowing, and the mountains in the distance were picturesque. When Wu Yi exhaled and inhaled, his abdomen and chest bulged, allowing the air to stay in the body for a longer time. The energy of heaven and earth senses one's own vitality. This is a kind of breath-taking technique, and it is a method when anger is not going well.

Wu Yi knew that he was a little impatient. According to common sense, it is common sense to be angry in January, and it is common sense to be angry in three months. Within half a year, it is considered to be less qualified. If you are still angry after that, it may be due to excessive energy consumption or poor meridians. In short, it is difficult to open up.

What Taoism pays attention to is letting nature take its course. Once you understand and feel it, there will naturally be no need for realm barriers.

In the next few days, Wu Yi practiced breathing skills every day and felt innate energy at night. His life was dull and fulfilling.

It is worth mentioning that since the young man who called himself Lin Li brought him food that day, it was the young man named Lin Li who delivered food to Wu Yi every day, and he was never late again.

Five days later at night, Wu Yi originally thought that the day would pass like this. He was planning not to practice today and to recuperate his energy. Even if the professor did not teach the method of getting angry tomorrow, he still wanted to share the experience of getting angry with other brothers. I have the slightest idea that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and perhaps they can be improved.

But not long after Wu Yi lay on the bed, before he fell asleep, he saw the red beads shining brightly, as if there was something strange. After the frightening night last time, Wu Yi dared to ignore it. A carp rolled up and jumped up, watching intently. bead.

"Boy, do you want to become an immortal?" A mysterious voice came from the beads, and Wu Yi believed that he heard it correctly.

He held his right hand tightly behind his back. Even when his nails pricked his skin and blood flowed out, Wu Yi remained calm. He tried not to show panic and fear, pretending not to hear the previous voice.

Recalling the changes in the beads in the past few days, Wu Yi secretly regretted that he had forgotten to analyze the changes in the beads.

Since the bead changed that night, Wu Yi found that the bead often jumped with the flickering candlelight during the day, as if it had a spirit, and even knew how to behave normally when there were outsiders present. But even if he knew this, Wu Yi himself didn't know the reason, and there was no one to ask. In addition, he felt a sense of intimacy with the bead. Although he was confused, he planned to talk about it later.

Wait, Wu Yi narrowed his eyes for a moment, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Before, the bead had some magical things happen during the day, and returned to peace at night. Wu Yi originally thought that the bead also had its own schedule and rested at night, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Moreover, at this time, Wu Yi has been practicing hard for many days without results, and he is worried. People outside who don't like him are ready to make a move. Tomorrow is a small class. It can be said that this is the most anxious time for Wu Yi.

At this moment, the voice sounded again, and Wu Yi, who was immersed in his own thinking, suddenly stood up.
