069, Stone's Story

Ding Qi took another stone and went to Tan Hanchuan's house to sit down. Pinshu.com Tan Hanchuan spoke but Zhu Shanxian was much more direct and said, "Senior Brother Zhu has just taught you the secret of Qi-seeing technique. Does Teacher Ding understand it?"

Ding Qi: "I understand what I said, but it doesn't mean I can do it."

Tan Hanchuan: "Of course, this is just a reference for you. Your cultivation should be your own realm of observing the body, and the same is true for the furnace and cauldron technique I want to talk about. In fact, the Jianghu Fire Gate Furnace and Cauldron technique is the least like a secret technique in the eight secret techniques, but it seems like a manifestation, because it is very close to the alchemy, and many classics introducing alchemy are publicly circulated.

Of course, there are other secrets in the Fire Gate, even including various despicable means. I will not introduce them to Teacher Ding, but only talk about the furnace and cauldron technique. The so-called furnace and cauldron refers to the human body and the place where the soul lives. According to traditional sayings, it is important to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, refine spirit into emptiness, refine spirit into emptiness...

Teacher Ding already has a foundation, so he can regard it as a reference for a state of mind. The secret method you created is to directly cultivate the mind and nature, observe the human heart from the world, and observe the great thousand from the human heart. It is actually very amazing, almost like the Tao! In time, if you can summarize and create it into a heritage, it will not be under any existing secret method.

But now, Teacher Ding's foundation is not stable. It is precisely because your body viewing is to directly cultivate the mind and nature, so you still lack the ability to cultivate and practice. Brother Zhu's practice of the qi-seeing technique starts with the ability to cultivate and practice, and the practice of other secret techniques has some supporting skills to improve a person's physique, otherwise he will not be able to withstand the need to perform secret techniques.

Teacher Ding, you saw Xiaojing Lake the day before yesterday, and then went to the gate of the yard for a long time. Do you feel tired or mentally tired?"

Ding Qi: "I didn't notice it if you didn't say it. Now if you think about it carefully, I really feel this way. I slept very heavily that night, and my head was stuck in a pillow. The next day, I felt very hungry and ate a lot."

Tan Hanchuan smiled: "You have a good physical condition and have not consumed your body and spirit due to excessive use of secret techniques. It is because you consume a lot of physical strength and energy."

Of course, Ding Qi has a good physique. He has almost never gotten sick since he was a child. Last year, he experienced a series of blows and fell to the ground after drinking New Year's Eve. If he had been sick, he might have fallen ill early, but Ding Qi survived. He smiled bitterly and said, "My body is indeed good, but I can't do it with you. I almost couldn't follow the mountain when I was doing surveying and mapping that time."

Tan Hanchuan: "But you still follow me after all, this is not simple. In fact, the realm of observing the body you have thought about also includes the method of cultivation, so your feelings are not very obvious. I realized it after reminding me.

But you have not yet summarized it clearly, so today I will combine the secret passage of the furnace and cauldron technique to teach you a set of cultivation methods that can be used to observe the body according to your situation. It is easiest for you to practice because you have actually gotten started."

Tan Hanchuan himself did not get the secret of the art of observing the body, but talked about Ding Qi's self-realization of the body. According to his analysis, this is a method of observing the mind and nature. Concentrating the mind and mind to observe inwardly, and the body becomes the heaven and earth, which is internal nourishment; reassuring the mind and mind between heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth are like my body and spirit, which is external refining.

This set of methods of condensing spirit and energy can also be compared with the methods of nourishing energy and spiritual energy passed down by Zhu Shanxian, which is most suitable for Ding Qi today. If Ding Qi's "cultivation" in the future, he needs to summarize the corresponding methods of cultivation based on the secret foundation he created.

After listening, Ding Qi said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother Tan, you are my teacher!"

Tan Hanchuan waved his hand: "You're welcome, you are our teachers!"

Ding Qi: "At first, I thought Senior Brother Tan was going to teach me how to practice martial arts. Your kung fu is really great!"

Tan Hanchuan smiled bitterly and said, "I practice martial arts because my master practices martial arts, so I taught me since I was a child. When I was a child, I practiced ignorantly and confusedly, otherwise I would not be able to endure the suffering or the sin. There are always people who say that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, but this may not be true.

Strength and reaction are indeed practiced, but may not be beneficial to health. In the past, there were many martial artists, but they were not in good health and did not live long. There are many martial arts that are powerful, but they are prone to leaving all kinds of hidden injuries. This is even more so if you always fight with people, such as the most likely to hurt your lungs, so you should use the cultivation of kung fu as a supplement.

Now it is not the era of cold weapons. The so-called martial arts defense is also good at dealing with a few little hooligans. In fact, if you really want to fight with people, you can get a master's secret technique, which may be of greater use. And the eight major gates' tricks often don't have to deal with anyone who wants to deal with them."

Ding Qi: "I have learned the tricks of the eight gates in the world for a while, and it's amazing! I give this stone to Senior Brother Tan. I don't know what kind of advice should I give you, but I can tell you all the suggestions I have to do to A Quan, Lao Zhu, Xian Hao..."

Tan Hanchuan took the stone and said, "Thank you, I know how to use it. I can use my mind to sacrifice and refine it with my state of mind when I saw Xiaojing Lake."

Ding Qi came out of Tan Hanchuan's house and it was already eleven o'clock. He looked up and saw Shang Ni standing at the door of the master bedroom and waved: "Teacher Ding, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Originally, Xian Hao said that she and Tan Hanchuan and Zhu Shanxian had discussed that they would tell Ding Qi the secrets of Yin E art, Qi-watching technique, and Furnace and Cauldron Technique respectively, but they didn't hear that Shang Ni also wanted to teach the Heart Plate Technique? But this little girl obviously knew the situation and took the initiative to greet Ding Qi.

Ding Qi came to Shangni's house to sit down. Shangni lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Teacher Ding, I have just started my mind and have not mastered it yet. I can't teach you at this level."

Ding Qi: "It doesn't matter. You didn't accept me as a disciple, and Lao Tan and the others didn't accept me as a disciple."

Shang Ni: "One is that I have not mastered it myself yet, and two is that I have not received my master's permission. I cannot teach the secret of Fengmen Heart Pan Technique to Teacher Ding now. But I can tell you the experience of using Heart Pan Technique and the experience of discovering Xiaojing Lake. In fact, I got the guidance of Teacher Ding first, and then I discovered Xiaojing Lake..."

Shang Ni was not talking about how to practice the mind plate technique, but directly talking about how to operate the mind plate, what kind of experience it is when operating the mind plate, and what kind of state a person is in. Ding Qi did understand that Shang Ni did not hide his own personalities in this aspect. But she did not introduce the secrets of practicing the mind plate. She had no mind plate and how to operate it, but just gave Ding Qi a reference.

After listening, Ding Qi handed a stone and said, "This is for you, can you use your heart plate to it?"

Shang Ni: "I have communicated with A Quan. Doing this is not like a heart plate technique, but more like a microscopic technique."

Ding Qi: "Senior Brother Tan just talked to me about internal cultivation and external refining. Heaven and earth can be like form and spirit, and form and spirit can be like heaven and earth. From the big to the small, a stone can be a mountain and river, and a mountain and river can be a stone. What you are looking for is to see the state of Xiaojing Lake. The focus is not to use the Heart Pan technique, but how can you see Xiaojing Lake with the help of the Heart Pan technique? I gave A Quan the same advice. This is the most important thing. Don't forget what our purpose is."

Shang Ni: "I know what to do, I'll try it these days. That, that... Teacher Ding, if you summarized the secret of observing the body, the wonderful function is to see the unknown world. Can you teach me in the future?"

Ding Qi smiled: "Of course!"

Just after midnight, the people living in this small building had already talked with Ding Qi alone and received the stone he gave him. Early the next morning, Ding Qi walked out of the backyard and walked through the bamboo forest into the mountain to "practice". The methods of internal cultivation and external cultivation that Tan Hanchuan taught him yesterday were actually what Ding Qi had been doing, but now it has summarized it more clearly and pointed out some key points.

He is already very familiar with this mountain path. He can walk freely with his eyes closed, practice outside, and wait until he arrives under the slumstone and sits quietly inside. Ding Qi also holds a stone in his hand, which is the largest of the nine stones. It is not that the bigger the better, but the smaller the more convenient it is, because this thing needs to be carried with him, so he tried his best to give it to others.

Coincidentally, the shape of this stone is vaguely similar to that of the slumstone, and Ding Qi feels even more in his hand.

After returning from the mountain, the six people had breakfast together. Zhuang Mengzhou, Fan Yang, and Ye Xing had not arrived yet, so there was nothing to say. Everyone exchanged their experience in practicing secret techniques. After the meal, everyone went to their own room and closed the door to compete with a stone - this was all good things Ding Qi did.

Shi Buquan agreed to Bang Dingyun to copy the scriptures, and Ding Qi also agreed to Bang Dingyun to contact the library. He remembered this in his heart. He was about to call after breakfast, but Monk Dingyun had already contacted him on his own initiative. In many occasions, Dingyun's face is quite useful. For example, he had already contacted the library.

Ding Qi went downstairs to find Shi Buquan, and Shi Buquan happened to come to him to say hello. Monk Dingyun had just contacted Shi Buquan. Shi Buquan then went out and said that he didn't have to wait for him for dinner. He might or might not come back. If the completion time is completed, try to come back as soon as possible.

Zhuang Mengzhou came almost lunch time, and Ding Qi was about to go out. Zhuang Mengzhou entered the door and wondered, "What's going on today? It's so quiet, it seems that no one lives here."

Ding Qi: "Everyone is thinking about stones in the house."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Oh, I almost forgot about this... Is Teacher Ding a preparation class?"

Ding Qi: "Yes, I still have to work. I have an appointment this afternoon."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "When will Teacher Ding be free?"

Ding Qi: "How about tomorrow afternoon? I will spare time in the hospital first."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon."

Shi Buquan did not live in the apartment today and rushed back before dinner. He just went to the library to get in touch, and the construction has not officially started. Of course, Ye Xing and Fan Yang came here after get off work.

During dinner, Fan Yang and Ye Xing felt a little weird, as if the people at the table had become a bit unreasonable or abnormal. Zhu Shanxian, Tan Hanchuan, Shi Buquan, Shang Ni, Xian Hao, and Ding Qi all used their hands to eat with chopsticks, and did not hold the bowl with the other hand, but held a stone.

Seeing this, Fan Yang took out the stone and ate with one hand. Ye Xing hesitated for a while and simply did the same thing to show his spirit of participating in collective activities.

Only Xian Hao was left-handed in the nine people, so she ate with her left hand and squid the stone with her right hand. Ding Qi observed it very carefully. The most special thing about the nine people was Shi Buquan. He ate with his right hand for a while, and then changed his left hand. The stone fell back and forth on both hands.

Shi Buquan's left and right hands are as flexible as the left and right hands. Ordinary people can't tell whether he is left-handed or right-handed. Seeing Shi Buquan changing hands and chopsticks there while eating, Ding Qi couldn't help but remember a question this kid asked when chatting with everyone: "If you use two fingers to clip copper coins out of the oil pan, how many ways are there to clip?"

Who knows this! Seeing that everyone was puzzled at that time, the boy replied proudly: "There are twenty ways to clamp, namely the thumb and index finger, the thumb and finger, the thumb and ring finger, the thumb and little finger, the index finger and the ring finger, the index finger and the little finger, the index finger and the little finger, the finger and the little finger, the ring finger and the little finger, the ring finger and the little finger."

Shang Ni: "Those are ten kinds!"

Shi Buquan: "You have to know both the left and right hands, aren't you twenty kinds?"

Shang Ni: "You really have squeezed copper coins out of the oil pan. Can't you fry the pig's trotters with your hands?"

Shi Buquan: "The old man is sometimes quite perverted, just teaches me these anti-human things. But at first, I mixed vinegar into the oil pan, but it was not too hot when it boiled, but it was just a little hot. Later, the vinegar became less and less, and in the end it was pure oil. That was a real oil pan! I have to hold copper coins from it, and I have to pay attention to quick hands and eyes, calmness and calmness."

Shang Ni: "That's not right. No matter how fast your hands are, you can avoid being scalded by oil, and the copper coins are also scalded!"

Shi Buquan explained: "Not only should you enter the oil pan quickly, but you should also get out the oil pan quickly. Put a bowl of water next to it, and the copper coin clip will be put into the bowl instantly, and the oil flowers will float... After practicing this, the old man asked me to practice the cloud-kneading hand."

Shi Buquan actually practiced every finger of his hands to this level. His master was indeed perverted. If he was a thief wallet, he would be invincible! Fortunately, he didn't have this hobby, and there was no need to have this hobby...

Ding Qi was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Xian Hao whisper in his ear: "Ding Qi, what's wrong with you? Why are you smiling at Senior Brother Shi?"

Ye Xing said with a slight interest: "Teacher Ding, why do you look at A Quan with this expression? I seriously suspect that you are straight and curved!"

Shang Ni also said, "Don't look at A Quan so lustfully. Did you make a mistake? You should also look at Sister Xian!"

Xian Hao's face turned slightly red, he glared at her, not knowing how to respond. Ding Qi quickly explained: "I was distracted just now. When I saw A Quan's hands changing, he could use chopsticks on both sides of his left and right hands, and remembered the matter of catching copper coins from the oil pan that he said."

Everyone laughed, and the laughter resolved the embarrassment just now. Tan Hanchuan smiled and said, "A Quan talks a lot and says everything!"

Shi Buquan became interested, put down his chopsticks and said, "When talking about catching copper coins in the oil pan, I remembered a lesson I learned, which contained a story. In order to compete for water sources, the two villages gathered to set up a simmering pan. Ten copper coins were placed in the pot. Representatives from both sides took turns to fish for the fishing. Whoever fished out the water source was distributed according to the rules.

I thought, if I were there, I walked over and took out all the fish, and then all the fished out, and the village opposite..."

Zhu Shanxian stopped the verb and said, "You must fight, wait and start a big fight among villagers!"

Everyone laughed again. Continuing to eat, Ding Qi was still observing everyone's hands inadvertently. In fact, he had discovered that it was like a summary now. Tan Hanchuan is not a left-handed, and he is also used to using his right hand, but his left hand is far away from ordinary people's common hands. After all, he has practiced the Yunshuo hand, but he is not as perverted as Shi Buquan.

As he was eating, Ding Qi discovered that Zhuang Mengzhou had also changed to holding chopsticks in his left hand. The situation today was a bit special. None of the other eight people drank, only Zhuang Mengzhou was drinking by himself, and he was the only one who did not eat with a stone.

Zhuang Mengzhou was obviously not a left-handed person. He didn't seem very skilled when changing his left hand to eat, but as he drank, the chopsticks on his left hand became more and more flexible. According to Ding Qi's summary of drinking status, almost just after entering the stage of mental excitement, Zhuang Mengzhou's chopsticks on his left hand could be used freely, and even the slippery fried edamames were clamped firmly.

Ding Qi couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zhuang, why did you change hands?"

Zhuang Mengzhou put down his chopsticks and said, "I was about to say that you don't have to play with stones when you eat, which will affect your appetite! You have to hold the stones. In addition to A Quan, you have also used the wrong hands! Walking, sitting and lying down, Changde is not bad. Which hand should you use to hold the stones? Of course, you are used to use your hands!"

This makes sense. Zhu Shanxian took the lead in changing the stone to his right hand, and everyone else changed it. Except Shi Buquan, everyone at the table all started to eat with chopsticks in their backhand. Shi Buquan, Tan Hanchuan and Zhuang Mengzhou were all fine, but the others felt more awkward, but on the other hand, they felt much more comfortable holding the stone.

Shang Ni suddenly said, "A Quan, I also want to practice the Yun Tong Shu."

Shi Buquan: "I have taught you all the tricks. You can practice more by yourself. I have something wrong these days, so you can also ask Senior Brother Tan for more advice... But don't set up oil pan to catch coins, that's too dangerous! Practicing small sport with empty hands is similar to playing Tai Chi. I am better at this aspect. After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child."

In short, the meal was a bit strange from beginning to end. At least everyone here experienced this scene for the first time. After dinner, everyone returned to their room with stones, and the small building quickly became quiet. Seeing this, Fan Yang also took his stone to the backyard pavilion, and only Ding Qi and Ye Xing were left in the living room.

Ye Xing said with some complaint: "Teacher Ding, it's all good things you did. You use a stone to make everyone look like a lunatic."

Ding Qi smiled and said, "It's okay, don't forget that I'm still a psychiatrist. I did it, and I'm responsible for the treatment. If Mr. Ye is fine, wash the dishes with me. You have to find some work to do whatever you can!"

Early the next morning, A Quan went out to the library. Zhuang Mengzhou came for lunch. After lunch, he greeted Ding Qi and said, "Teacher Ding, are you ready?"

Ding Qi: "I was ready yesterday."
