Five Immortals Gate

The sun slowly rises from the top of the valley, and birds sing and dance in the forest in the valley. As time goes by, the sun slowly moves to the center of the valley, and then tilts a little bit towards the top of the mountain on the west side of the valley. place, until evening, slowly sinking behind the mountain peaks, the earth is shrouded in darkness, only the chirping sounds of autumn insects come and go.

Time passed like this day by day, and eight or nine days had passed since Li Yan started practicing. Li Yan would only open the door for a while every day to eat and simply wash up, but basically kept the door closed.

In the room, Li Yan, who was already wearing a black gown, sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, his eyes slightly closed, his hands forming a mudra on his abdomen, breathing evenly. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and frowned. He had been practicing diligently for eight or nine days, but still failed to stimulate the energy in his Dantian. During this period, he also asked his teacher. The answer given by Master Ji was that this entry-level practice varies from person to person, ranging from three to five. It can take up to ten days and a half to stimulate the energy in the Dantian. During the practice, the most important thing is to avoid being impatient and restless. You need to be calm and calm. However, it had been almost ten days, and he could no longer find the feeling of cultivation that he mentioned, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He simply got out of bed, opened the door and walked out. Looking at the slowly darkening sky, he walked slowly in the valley, thinking about the meaning of every sentence and word in the mantra, just like that. As I was walking and thinking, I suddenly heard the sound of trickling in my ears. Unknowingly, I had arrived at the pool. Listening to the sound of the mountain spring slowly flowing down the cliff, I looked at the half moon shining down above the valley. The cold brilliance and the sound of water flow kept revolving in his heart. He suddenly seemed to feel something in his heart. Just like that, he stood here quietly and motionless. I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt as if there was something inside his body. The coolness echoed with the sound of the water, and he immediately sat cross-legged by the pool. The "breath guidance technique" that had been lingering in his mind for the past few days went away naturally. Soon after, there was a wave of breath on his face. Black energy appeared faintly, and when it appeared on his face, it didn't look weird, but there was a feeling of cold, deep water covering it lightly, with a slightly transparent color.

At this time, Li Yan didn't know this. He only felt that the sound of the flowing water filled his mind, and with each breath, it began to fill his body. Suddenly, he felt a coolness rising in his Dantian, and he felt the sound of flowing water filling his mind. The meridians guided by the "Breath Guidance Technique" begin to swim slowly. Every time they pass through a place, the coolness of the meridians will suddenly appear, but they do not feel cold. Instead, they feel like a fish swimming in the sea. Just like this Every time the cool air travels around the meridians, the Dantian will feel more cool, making the Dantian more and more cool.

In the stone house on the east side of the valley, Master Ji also sat cross-legged behind the table and meditated with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and said to himself, "Finally, do you feel the energy of heaven and earth?" It seems that we can prepare herbal medicine, which is really exciting." After that, he slowly closed his eyes.

After a long time, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes

\u003c/di\u003e

With his eyes, the valley was still the same, and the trickling water on the cliff was still the same, but the moon had disappeared above the valley. It was already midnight, and he had a look of hesitation on his face. The nights in the mountains in autumn were very cold, but Li Yan didn't care at all. He felt the coolness in the outside world, but because the coolness in his body was stronger, he did not feel any physical discomfort. Instead, he felt that his ears and eyes were clear and his whole body was light. However, he remembered that the "Breathe Guidance Technique" said that stimulating the energy in the Dantian should be warm currents. Why was his the opposite? Did he make a mistake in his practice? If so, would he think of this like his senior brother before? He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Just as he stood up hesitantly, he suddenly felt that the coldness in the Dantian in his body was stagnant, and it actually became uncomfortable. He couldn't help being stunned, but a voice sounded in his ears: "Li Yan, You have finally completed the introduction, which is really good.”

Hearing this sound, he was immediately startled and turned around quickly to see a man in black robes standing silently behind him. He immediately felt relieved because the voice was that of the teacher. He quickly saluted, "Teacher, you haven't rested yet." He felt a little surprised in his heart. The teacher's internal energy was so profound. He just had some changes in his body, but he knew it immediately. It was serious.

Although the moonlight in the valley had gone by now, under the starlight in the sky, Li Yan could vaguely see the teacher's slightly smiling face. He continued with a little hesitation, "Disciple, disciple, I am not sure whether it will be successful or not."

"Oh? I feel your aura that stimulates the energy in Dantian, so that's it." Master Ji said calmly.

"However, disciple, it is not as the formula says, the Dantian produces warmth, but a slight coolness." After saying this, Li Yan showed uneasiness on his face.

After hearing this, Master Ji was stunned at first, and after a moment he said with a smile, "I haven't explained this to you in detail. The Qi-Entraining Technique only stimulates the Qi in the Dantian, and when everyone is stimulated, they will feel soreness, numbness, itching, cold, and heat. There are many, but generally speaking, warmth and heat are the most common. I only list the common sensations for the tips given by the teacher. Don’t worry about this.”

After hearing this, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and his worries disappeared, and he thought, "It seems that in the future, I can just ask the teacher directly for these things. It makes me think wildly, but I scare myself."

As if he could see Li Yan's expression clearly in the dark night, Master Ji chuckled and said, "You have been very tired these past few days. You don't need to practice anymore today. Go to bed early and you can practice formally tomorrow." "Mu Yin Gong's method."

"Yes, teacher, the disciple has resigned." Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. In this way, he had already entered the door and was qualified.

Now that he is practicing the real Kung Fu, he actually has the urge to practice the Kung Fu right away, but he also knows that this matter cannot be rushed, and in the past ten days, although his physical strength has not been consumed much, his mind is really strong. He was tired, so he walked towards his stone house. After he walked a few steps, the uncomfortable feeling in his Dantian suddenly subsided a lot. He couldn't help but secretly admire the teacher's skill. He had no inner breath before. I didn't feel this way before, but now that I have this little inner breath, I also feel the pressure brought by the teacher.

Looking at Li Yan's disappearing back, Master Ji also turned around and disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in his room. He swept his sleeves behind him and the door closed silently. He crossed his legs again. Sitting behind the table, his face became cloudy and clear, and he kept thinking in his heart: "It turns out that the first thing he senses the energy of heaven and earth is water. In this way, the black energy he saw when he tried the needle last time was the real thing. , then it is not the best choice to practice wood-type skills, but fortunately he has mixed spiritual roots, and judging from his last performance, the green energy is still there, second only to the perception of water , can also be cultivated, but it will definitely take a longer time, but I don’t know if I can suppress this poison until the day he succeeds in cultivation."

After thinking for a moment, the third military commander shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's good luck to be able to guard against the arrival of this second person. I'm thinking too much. Can I get a better result than this? Then, tomorrow we will Let's get started, no matter what, my body can't wait anymore." Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yan woke up and felt refreshed. His mood was as good as the blue sky in early autumn outside the window. After breakfast, he came to the teacher's house early. Just like last time, he had just arrived at the stone house. In front of him, the voice of Master Ji came out, "It's Li Yan, come in."

Although Li Yan only occasionally left his house a few times in these days, he probably knew that his teacher would only go out every few days and would always practice behind closed doors in the stone house in the valley.

After Li Yan went in, it took him another half a day. After he came out, Master Ji slowly walked out, called Chen An and Li Yin to give instructions, and then he went straight to the second stone house. . Soon after, Chen An and Li Yin carried an exquisitely crafted copper stove to Li Yan's room. Li Yan obeyed the teacher's instructions and waited in the room. When he saw the two of them coming, he called them to take care of it. The copper stove is placed inside the house. His stone house is also spacious, so he can just find an open place to put it down.

This copper furnace is about half a person tall and made of fine copper. The whole body is glowing with copper light. The bottom is a solid jade base. There are three purple dragons carved around the furnace body. The dragon's head is raised upward, forming a lifting shape. On the dragon's body There are a few empty spaces between the furnace body and the furnace body, and the scene inside the furnace can be vaguely seen. At this time, the furnace is already burning red, but I don’t know what the fuel is.

\u003c/di\u003e

There was no smoke coming out at all, but waves of heat came out of the furnace.

About a quarter of an hour later, Master Ji walked out of the second stone house with a tired look on his blue-grey face. Chen An and Li Yin immediately entered the stone layer, and after a while they took out a copper basin from the stone house. There was also hot steam coming out of the basin. He then carried the basin to the back of Li Yan's stone house and placed it on the three dragon heads of the copper stove. After saluting Ji Junshi and Li Yan, the two closed the door. Went out.

The third army commander came to the copper furnace and said to Li Yan with a smile on his tired face, "Have you memorized the mental formula I mentioned this morning?"

Li Yan also stood in front of the copper furnace and responded respectfully, "Disciple, I have already remembered this."

"Well, although there are not too many formulas for each level, the meaning of the formula is profound and exquisite. It needs to be understood and understood. I spent half a day to solve your doubts, so that you can fully understand the first layer of formulas. Usage, the rest is up to you to practice hard. As the saying goes, "Master leads you in, and practice is up to you." This is an eternal truth." Master Ji nodded.

"Disciple should practice diligently. Thank you teacher for your guidance." Li Yan replied respectfully.

At this time, hot steam was already billowing out of the copper basin on top of the copper stove. Looking closer, under the smoke in the copper basin, you could vaguely see many herbs tumbling in the juice, with traces of green and black hair rising upwards. The energy lingers on the copper basin.

"Well, the preparation of these herbal medicines is a secret method of our sect. This pot of herbal medicines can be used repeatedly for seven days. After seven days, these herbal medicines will lose their effectiveness and need to be prepared again, but the dosage will be different. Increase by a few percent. After repeating this for seventy-seven forty-nine days, your meridians will go through the process of marrow cleansing and cutting, and finally become extremely strong. Only such meridians can withstand the overbearing internal force of the sect later. Just this As far as the meridians are concerned, the merit achieved in just these forty-nine days is not much compared to the second or third-rate masters in martial arts. But for ordinary people to reach this point, it is impossible to achieve it without the merit of the past ten years, and our sect You can reach this point through the secret method of washing scriptures, but it is also very painful, and it cannot be completed by those without great perseverance. You have to get through it one by one, you understand." Said this, the voice of Master Ji. He couldn't help but become harsh.

"Disciple knows that he will live up to the teacher's expectations." Li Yan looked at the teacher firmly. He had been told this repeatedly in the morning. He was also a man of tenacity and knew that there was no gain for nothing. Since our martial arts was so domineering, training must have its harsh aspects, and he had already been prepared for it.

"Okay, then let's get started. My teacher has been guarding the gate for you outside the house these days. If you have anything wrong, I will solve it for you in time." After that, without saying more, he opened the door and left. Go out, then close the door from the outside again, sit cross-legged on the stone table outside the house, close your eyes and meditate.
