Chapter 41 The Innate Way, Originating from One Qi
The eleventh year of Daye, the golden autumn is September.
In a manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou, Ji Ning woke up from a nap, yawned while stretching, slowly walked out of the room and came to the courtyard.
The beautiful trees in the courtyard are lush and the strange flowers are shining. A clear stream in the area is winding and swaying from the depths of the flowers and trees under the rock gaps. A rockery sits north and south, flat and wide.
There are flying buildings on both sides, and a stone bridge with white stone as the railings surrounded the edge of the pond. There are pavilions on the bridge, stone tables and benches in the pavilion, and a recliner woven bamboo and rattan beside the table.
Ji Ning lazily lay on the rattan chair, then took out a book woven from his sleeve and read it casually.
It was dusk that he walked out leisurely.
In the east of Yangzhou City, there is an abandoned manor with weeds. Most of the buildings have long been disrepaired due to years of disrepair, wind and rain, and ants and borers. Only a small stone house shrank in a corner, and the roof of the tiles that penetrated the hole was sealed with wooden boards, which could barely be used as a place to live.
This is the residence of the future "Yangzhou Shuanglong", Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Both of them were miserable children. Their parents and family members were killed by thieves during the war and fleeing, and became orphans without fathers and mothers.
It was also a fate that was determined by heaven. Two twelve and three-year-old boys happened to meet each other and had a similar intention. They depended on each other for their fate, and their love was greater than that of their brothers.
Kou Zhong is older, sixteen years old this year, and Xu Ziling just turned fifteen.
A gust of wind blew, and Ji Ning appeared quietly outside the stone house.
In the room, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were chatting again. The two of them imagined the future. After they had enough money, they would abandon the secret and turn to the light and join the rebel army.
At this time, the Great Sui court lost its vitality because Yang Guang fought against Goryeo three times, and was unable to suppress the peasant uprisings in various places. The spark had become a prairie fire.
The most important thing is that the officials and families in various places have also begun to feel uneasy.
People with knowledge understand that the future will inevitably lead to a situation where the world is in chaos and the heroes compete.
"Tu tuk!"
Ji Ning knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Kou Zhong was shocked and turned over and sat up, thinking in his heart, could it be that the fat sheep he touched this morning came to him, and that would have been a disaster.
Ji Ning said: "In Ji Ning, there is no malice. Please come out and see you."
The two of them quickly went out and saw Ji Ning dressing in gorgeous clothes. They immediately imitated the way people in the world and bowed and said, "Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling has met Mr. Ji."
Ji Ning waved his hand and said, "No need for politeness."
After looking at the two teenagers in front of him, he nodded and said, "It's indeed two rough jades."
Kou Zhong asked carefully: "I don't know what instructions do Mr. Ji has to ask for us."
Ji Ning said: "This is not a place to speak, follow me."
As he said that, he walked out of the yard.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling hurriedly followed with all their doubts.
Since the other party came to the door, they could only respond to the moves and adapt to the situation.
If you fight head-on, you will be the only one who is unlucky.
The two of them understood this truth a long time ago.
Ji Ning took Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling all the way to the manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou.
This manor is located on the riverside, surrounded by green willows and continuous flowers, making it very elegant and quiet.
After entering, the entire manor was divided into small worlds by mountains, rocks, plants and trees. There was a garden outside the courtyard and a courtyard outside the garden.
Kou and Xu followed Ji Ning back to the outer corridor along Zhou, winding through the beautiful scenery of the garden, and finally came to a yard.
"I don't have servants here. You two go to boil water by yourself, and then take a shower. I'll get you some clothes."
After Ji Ning finished speaking, he left the yard.
Kou Zhong and Ji Ning walked away, then said in surprise: "A place that big is actually living alone. Xiaoling, why did you say that the person invited us just now?"
Xu Ziling said, "How do I know? We have no money or relatives, and we are not afraid of him greedy for anything. You go chop firewood and I go to make fire. There is a saying that goes, since we come, we will be at ease."
The two of them acted quickly.
When Ji Ning came to the yard with his clothes, he heard sounds coming from the wing room.
"Xiaoling, use force."
"Okay, go a little further, yes, that's it."
"Ah, it's so comfortable. Come on, let's just lie down..."
Ji Ning stepped forward, knocked on the door, and handed the clothes in his hand in.
After a while, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were dressed neatly and walked out one after another. The clothes were a bit big, but they were countless times better than the beggar outfit they wore before.
There was a stone table and a stone bench in a corner of the yard. After Ji Ning sat down, he said to Kou and Xu, "Sit."
After the two of them sat down, he asked, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"
"What?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed. The two of them immediately left their seats and knelt down and shouted, "Master."
Looking at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's anxious look, Ji Ning sighed very much. These two people are indeed smart and know how to seize opportunities. No wonder they can become the masters as gangsters.
No one desires strength more than the lowest-class people, and they have never been willing to be ordinary.
In the original work, when the two of them were gangsters, they learned that Shi Long had secretly learned martial arts in the temple. Later, they met Fu Junmao and Li Jing, who wanted to become disciples whenever they had the chance, and this shows their desire for martial arts.
Ji Ning reached out and helped the two of them up, saying, "You two are very talented and talented, and they are the best martial arts genius. Unfortunately, you have to start practicing martial arts from the baby, and you two have missed the best time.
The way of martial arts is like climbing a dangerous peak, without any omissions. The most important period is the ten years from the age of five to fifteen.
Once this period of time passes, if you enter a dead end on the dangerous peak, no matter how hard you work, you can only wander in the middle and cannot climb to the upper level, let alone the scenery above the peak!"
Kou and Xu's expressions changed several times. In dejected, they suddenly grabbed a flash of inspiration and said, "Please give me some advice. You came to us and said so much, so you must have some concerns."
Ji Ning nodded, took out a strange book supported by the mysterious gold thread and placed it on the table, and said, "This is the secret of immortality, one of the four great books in the world, combining yin and yang, derives the five elements, seizes the creation of heaven and earth, and invades the mystery of the sun and moon!
If you can understand the mystery of this book, and rebirth is just an ordinary thing, it is not impossible to enter the supreme heavenly way.
Unfortunately, this "The Art of Eternal Life" can only be practiced by people who have never practiced martial arts. Moreover, those who practice must have excellent qualifications and excellent understanding, so they have one or two hopes.
I'm asking you two to come for this. Now, you two tell me, would you give it a try?"
"I'm willing." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling said in unison.
Ji Ning opened the Changsheng Jue on the stone table and watched it with Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.
The previous pages were full of words, which looked a bit similar to the talismans drawn by Taoist priests on the street. The two of them were dizzy and dizzy, with one head as big as two.
"The story of immortality is said to be left by the ancient immortal Guangchengzi. There are not many people in the world who can understand these ancient characters. The key is the human figures.
Each picture is a method of luck and practice. The line above is the meridians and the point is the acupoints, such as the roads and towns of the human body.
Before everyone practices martial arts, they must understand the meridian acupoints in the human body. This is basic common sense. From today on, you will follow me every morning to learn how to recognize meridian acupoints.
After you have some understanding, choose any picture you like and practice it accordingly.”
After Ji Ning finished speaking, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling both claimed "yes".
From that day on, Kou and Xu lived in the manor and learned the basic knowledge of martial arts with Ji Ning.
These two people have excellent talents and strong understanding. They can learn it at a glance and understand it at a glance. The most rare thing is their imagination and often ask some strange questions.
Some of them just play the piano randomly, while others can bring a lot of inspiration to Ji Ning.
Half a month later, Ji Ning brought back a young lady who was pretty and cute, petite and delicate. Although she was wearing a cloth dress, she could not hide her charming charming charm in her bones, which was heart-wrenching.
The young lady was older than Kou and Xu, so Ji Ning asked them to be called "Zhen Sao".
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the spring of the twelve years of great cause.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling live in a manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou. They are really happy. Their diet is taken care of by Wei Zhenzhen, who is skillful. These days, not only have they grown a lot taller, but also have become much stronger.
However, the two of them thought hard every day but couldn't figure it out.
On this day, Kou Zhong was wearing a loose robe and laying on the bed, holding the story of immortality, and studying the portrait graphics inside over and over again.
Xu Ziling sat on the floor, with his hands wrapped around his bent legs, his back facing the wall, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Kou Zhong suddenly spoke, "Xiaoling, do you think we can really practice this immortal art?"
Xu Ziling sat quietly, as if he hadn't heard it.
After a while, Kou Zhong threw away the "Quansheng Jue" in his hand, walked to Xu Ziling, sat down, and stopped talking.
The room suddenly became quiet. After a while, Kou Zhong gritted his teeth, stood up and took the Eternal Life Skill, and looked through it again.
In the following days, except for eating and sleeping, the two of them meditated according to the image. However, not only did they fail to develop any reputation, but they looked weak and had an abnormal temperament. Even Kou Zhong, who likes to talk the most, became taciturn.
The two of them were studying the techniques of immortality together. Kou Zhong practiced an image that seemed to be walking. The meridian acupoints were marked with red dotted lines, which seemed to be the thick black arrow at the beginning, facing the Tianling acupoint above his head.
As for the arrows below since then, they are divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Each arrow looks like telling a completely different set of exercises. Not only are the paths different, but the selected acupuncture points are also very different.
Many of the acupoints and meridians were not mentioned before by Ji Ning, or they were noted in time to indicate that they had nothing to do with practice.
Xu Ziling practiced a picture of lying on his back. The thick black arrow at the beginning pointed to the Yongquan point of the right foot, and the seven-color arrow finally attributed to the Yongquan point of the left foot. Unlike Kou Zhong's picture, he had to return to the Tianling point above his head.
The two pictures have exactly the opposite way of qi circulation, and the complex parts are not the same.
At night, there was a sudden thunderstorm. The two of them could not sleep and both got up to practice.
Kou Zhongru often strolls in the courtyard, while Xu Ziling simply lay on the ground and practices their own practices. His mind naturally followed the instructions of meridians and meridians that he had already remembered to roll his claws and meridians. Sometimes he practiced red arrows, and sometimes he practiced other colors. Although it seemed that there was no special effect, he was persistent.
Later, Kou Zhong suddenly woke up and walked around the yard with his eyes closed in his eyes, while Xu Ziling had to lie down to feel comfortable, each movement and a quietness, and his own interests were different.
The thunder sound roared, and all thoughts were destroyed.
After a while, both of them were forgotten, and they entered a strange state of sleeping but not sleeping, and they were about to wake up.
A wonderful thing has come.
Xu Ziling's soles felt hot and burning like fire. Then the heat rushed up and rushed into the various large and small veins. The feeling was so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, the cold rain water penetrated the window and hit the face, quenching the pain a little.
Xu Ziling was very happy in his heart. He ignored the pain in his body and the true energy that was running around in his body. He kept his mind and kept his mind alone.
Kou Zhongze had another situation. A stream of extremely cold true energy penetrated into the top and then flowed into various large and large veins, which made him almost dead. He ran involuntarily, so that his qi and blood could still remain smooth.
The two of them held on for two hours. By dawn, Kou Zhong finally couldn't support him and fell to the ground. At this moment of death, all the meridians in his body seemed to explode, and then he fell into a coma, not knowing the situation.
Xu Ziling found that the heat in his body that almost burned him to death quickly subsided like a tide, and he was unable to fall for a while and lost consciousness.
At noon, Kou Zhong woke up first, and felt that the sun was soaked in his body, which was not afraid of fire poison at all, and was extremely comfortable.
He still couldn't figure out what was going on. He was still scared when he remembered the situation last night and sat up in a daze.
At a glance, I saw that the whole world became much clearer. Not only was the colors richer, but many subtle situations that I usually overlooked were also touched by my heart. Even the subtle changes in the wind that I usually ignored were not missed by his sensitive hearing.
The strangest thing is that no matter the sky and earth, a stone or a grass, they all live like they are connected to him, and they become one of them, and they are no longer unrelated.
Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, then an indescribable ecstasy surged into his heart, causing him to jump up.
Kou Zhong first thought of Xu Ziling, shouted loudly, "Xiaoling, I have mastered it. Look, how light my body is, I can make somersaults."
After he turned over two somersaults, he rushed to find his good brother.
Xu Ziling gradually woke up when he heard Kou Zhong's call. He felt warm all over and there was no cold feeling at all. He got up and walked out of the door, then he knelt down with a shock, looking at the world in front of him with incredible magnitude.
"The heaven and earth are transformed into all things, and the heaven and man are one, they are all from Tao and assimilated into Qi!"
Ji Ning, who has been paying attention to the situation of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, has not missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The mysterious veil shrouded in "The Eternal Life Skill" was taken off. At this moment, countless inspirations suddenly surged out from his heart, "The innate way comes from one qi, and one qi derives yin and yang, which never stops day and night, and flows and rises and falls.
Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth, the principles and disciplines of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death..."
In the following days, Kou and Xu, under the guidance of Ji Ning, quickly mastered the true energy of immortality in their bodies.
Xu Ziling likes quietness, but what he cultivates is a hot true energy, while Kou Zhong is active, but what he cultivates is a extremely cold true energy.
The two true qi comes from the same source, and yin and yang complement each other, making them use endlessly.
