Chapter five hundred and twenty-four
What is true qi?
According to Yu Daofu's "Wu Lin Zhengkai": "The internal strength is the true energy of heaven and earth."
In other words, there is a kind of "true qi" between heaven and earth. When we practice internal strength, we must artificially create this "true qi" and achieve various magical effects.
But this still doesn't mean what true qi is.
Let’s look at Baoyangzi’s “Daotonglu”: “The heaven and earth are chaotic, and all things are born, which is the beginning of the primitive and true nature, so from one to ten thousand, from ten thousand to one, where the chaotic energy is located, the heaven and earth are born from this”.
Since Yu Daofu is the disciple of Baoyangzi, he once wrote "Baoyangzi Notes" to explain the words and deeds of this metaphysicist master. His words can often find the root and confirmation in Baoyangzi's works.
Then, the two passages are combined to understand - the so-called internal true qi is the legendary chaotic qi!
Moreover, there is another side syndrome.
"Is this the esophageal worm?" Cha Jin stared at the little bug in the glass bottle curiously.
"That's right, the ancient alien insect that can only survive by swallowing the chaotic one vitality." I said, "Of course, no one has ever seen the true chaotic one vitality. I only know that this insect must be nourished with the internal true energy. But since this insect can be born in the world, it means that in addition to the internal true energy cultivated by humans, there must be natural true energy in the world."
"But this statement can never be confirmed." Cha Jin said, "because the chaotic energy in the legend exists in the sky outside the sky, the underground land, the end of the world, and the ruins of the universe."
"If it is really impossible to prove it, why does this statement appear?" I asked back.
"So this is a myth." Cha Jin smiled, "It is said that there are gods outside the sky, and there are all kinds of legends, deeds and treasures, but why is it that no one saw it with his own eyes?"
"Even if there is, it will become a legend." I said.
"As the saying goes: heaven, earth, man, ghost, god." Cha Jin said, "Heaven can see, earth can touch, man is by your side, but this ghost is the existence in the dark, and it is ultimately illusory."
"Some things can't be explained in a thousand words, so let's not study them." I smiled bitterly, "I'd like to close my qi and me to release this esophageal worm."
"Are we going to block it?" Liu Bei asked.
"Are you practicing martial arts skills?" Cha Jin asked back.
Liu Bei retreated awkwardly.
When practicing qi, only the qi and energy produced by the unique skill level internal skills can be called true qi.
What is a skill?
It is because it can produce something out of nothing, turn the virtual into the real, break through the innate limits, and condense nine attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, wind, and thunder.
Let me give you a simple example, which is to spit fire, shoot water, and grow leaves {our three small tricks}.
This is absolutely impossible for ordinary level exercises.
From another perspective, no matter how powerful the power of ordinary-level martial arts is, as long as they cannot convert attributes, they will not be ranked among the top skills.
Just like the powerful eagle claw skill, although it is completely comparable to some unique skills in terms of power, its level is only ordinary martial arts after all, because it cannot overcome this limit.
Actually...
The people in the martial arts world can do this, which is very close to the legendary gods.
Maybe in a certain era in the future, we will be respected as immortals by the people...
"Open it." Cha Jin said to me.
"Oh." I came back to my senses from my imagination.
Open the bottle cover.
At the same time, I used the technique of locking acupoints at the amenorrhea, and sealed the 134 qi channels in my body, leaving only one.
The esophageal insect in the glass bottle flapped its wings weakly and flew out slowly.
I stretched out a finger, and the true energy was slowly released from my fingertips.
The esophageal worm smelled the smell of true qi {God knew that this thing still had a smell}, and immediately became excited, and then fell on my fingers and swallowed it greedily.
But I immediately sealed the last qi channel.
The esophageal worm fluttered and seemed very irritable.
Without further ado, I immediately threw the esophageal insect into the open space.
It caught off guard and suddenly fell into dust with its six legs facing the sky.
"You don't care about such an expensive thing." Old Master Cha felt distressed when he looked at it.
Esophageal worms are very rare and their prices are naturally extremely astonishing. However, since the Zhongzhou insect king Jia Rudao successfully breeds two male and female esophageal worms, its price has dropped sharply.
The one in our hand was bought for 500,000 taels.
How expensive is it before the price is reduced?
It is said that our net worth is only two at most.
"It's okay." I didn't care, "I served so well and disobedient."
As I spoke, I took out another small bottle and poured some powder out of it and sprinkled it on my body with Mr. Cha and me.
"What is this?" Cha Jin asked.
"Free the flavor powder." I said, "This is given by insect sellers, and it is said that it can eliminate the smell of true qi."
"There is still a smell of true energy?" Mr. Cha was indeed surprised.
"I will know immediately if there is one." I smiled.
Sure enough, the esophageal worm landed on the ground. First, it turned over, and then looked over for a while, then spread its wings and flew in a certain direction.
When this guy is hungry, he will naturally track the residual smell of true qi in the air and find the source of the true qi.
But because the true smell on Cha Jin and I were eliminated by the smell removal powder, it could not smell it, so we could only change our target and find the "clay man".
"I didn't expect that after a few days, I could still follow it. This esophageal worm is really magical." Old Master Cha exclaimed, "I was afraid that that clay man would never have dreamed that he would have been exposed by the trace of true energy left by himself."
"Chasing!" I was the first to follow.
The esophageal worm did not fly fast, so Mr. Cha and I could only patience behind us to see where it was going.
Before I knew it, I came to a strange rocky valley.
The esophageal worm landed on a dead branch, restraining its wings and not moving.
This is its physical strength that it has reached its limit and cannot be used in a short period of time.
"Next, we have to rely on ourselves." I took the esophagus back into the glass bottle, poured a few radisus of true energy into it, and let it have a full meal.
"This valley is a good place for Tibetans." Old Master Cha frowned and looked around.
The valley is full of dead trees and rocks, and the terrain is very undulating. If you hide in a corner, you may not be able to find it for three days and three nights.
At this time, the advantage of large populations is reflected.
"From left to right, there is one person standing every ten steps, and everyone walks forward at the same time. If you see anything strange, shout immediately." Liu Bei directed the widower and other bodyguards to conduct a carpet-style search in the valley.
"Wait!" I called him, "If that clay man really hid in the valley, I'm afraid you will find him, that is, when you enter the coffin."
How terrifying is the strength of the clay man?
If you encounter ordinary bodyguards and gangsters, you will definitely be done.
