Chapter 9 Washing the Pulses
In the room, Xu Muyang continued to tell Tang Jie about the world of immortal cultivation.
"Cultivation is divided into five realms, and each realm is divided into three levels. Only the Immortal Platform Realm is only two levels, so it is called the Fifth Realm 14th Level. Among them, the Spirit Platform Realm is divided into Lingquan, Linghu, and Linghai, which mainly refers to the amount of spiritual energy accumulated in the body. Immortals cultivate spiritual energy, so this first realm is mainly based on the absorption and use of spiritual energy. The Spirit Platform Realm improves physical fitness and improves the amount of spiritual energy by breathing spiritual energy, so the Spirit Platform Realm is often also called the breathing stage or the Qi training stage."
"At this time, the immortal cultivators are still physically mortals and have not yet reached the stage of true rebirth. They can learn magic, but they can only use spiritual energy in their bodies to display their power, and their power is limited. Therefore, the immortal cultivators at this stage are generally also called spiritual disciples. The spells they use are generally only called magic, not magic. Only after entering the realm of mortal exile, can they use the spiritual energy in their bodies to use the spiritual energy in the world, and they can use the real magic. This period is also the stage when the immortal cultivators truly reborn from the mortal body and enter the spiritual body, so it is called the realm of mortal exile. Because building a spirit body and getting rid of the mortal body is the basis for cultivating immortals, there are often statements about the foundation building stage or the spiritual body. Do you understand?"
"Brother Xu said it simple and clear, and I have understood it. Simply put, the realm is the improvement of quality, and the level is the improvement of quantity, right?" Tang Jie replied.
Xu Muyang smiled and nodded: "This statement is fresh and interesting, and it makes some sense. Even if it is not complete, it is not far away."
Although the realms are the same, the effects of different cultivation methods are different.
According to Xu Muyang, the human body has many compositions such as meridians, qi and blood, muscles and bones, and the five internal organs. Each composition has its own unique uses and meanings. Different cultivation methods and processes will bring different changes to the practitioners, making their strengths different. Even the simplest basic magics such as wind swords, frost swords, fireballs, and electric chains are different in the hands of practitioners with different cultivation methods.
Experienced people often can roughly determine the other party's direction and background by just seeing the move.
Furthermore, not every exercise can be compatible and inclusive. The key is whether there is conflict between them. For example, the Heavenly Fire Sutra is mainly engaged in the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of Hand. The qi is dispersed in the heart and returns to the liver and gallbladder. The liver belongs to wood and is responsible for sublimation. The heart belongs to fire and is responsible for the spirit. Therefore, the fire is strong. After the cultivation is successful, the Heavenly Fire will be powerful. However, the Water Condensation Sutra mainly practices the Shaoyin Kidney Meridian of Foot, which originates from the spleen and returns to the kidney. The spleen belongs to earth and is responsible for transportation and transformation. The kidney belongs to water and is responsible for storing essence. After the cultivation is successful, there will be a hero of the sea and the river.
But the two are not subordinate to each other and independent of each other.
This is just independent of each other and even more contradictory. If you practice together without understanding the truth, you will get half the result with twice the effort.
Therefore, practicing martial arts is not about getting better, but about the origin, and it is better to complement each other.
"This is also another reason why I am unwilling to teach you the inheritance of the Xu family." Xu Muyang said: "The Dongxu Sutra of the Xu family mainly practices the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, and the main focus is on breaking the Xu and Donghuan. The Xiyue School mainly practices the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, and the center of gravity meridian. Both sides do not belong to each other, but the heart is the master of the five internal organs and the official of the king. From a basic perspective, it is better to use the Purple Jade Heart Method of the Xiyue School and the Shenxiao Sword Classic as the foundation."
"That is to say, if you practice the Purple Jade Heart Method of the Xiyue School and the Shenxiao Sword Book, you may not be able to practice the Dongxu Sutra of the Xu family. However, if you practice the Dongxu Sutra, you may not be able to practice the Ziyu Heart Method well. Is that what does that mean?" Tang Jie asked.
"Yes, that's what it means. The Xiyue School is a great sect with a vast mind and strong tolerance. With this as the foundation, there will be no problem in learning anything in the future and a bright future."
"I understand, it's like using the sea to support Lake, which can accommodate all rivers, using the lake to support the sea, and the vast oceans are raging."
"Yes, that's it." Xu Muyang smiled.
Tang Jie is a kid with a very good mind and can see through everything at a glance. He is also very happy with such a student. Although he does not accept Tang Jie as a disciple, he actually treats him as a disciple.
"So, then, will it be useless for me to practice the Zangxiang Sutra again?" Tang Jie asked again.
"The Cangxiang Sutra is just a method of rushing the gate and washing the meridians. It does not focus on any meridian, so there will be no problem in practicing. Moreover, no matter what, this Cangxiang Sutra is also a method created by the soldiers. I always feel that it is not that simple. If you practice it well, you may not be able to tell if you have any other gains in the future. My tendons and veins are solid, and this Cangxiang Shui is useless to me." Speaking of this, Xu Muyang shook his head and sighed.
The so-called meridian cleaning is actually the tempering and expansion of meridians.
After the Yumen is opened, the qi flows through the meridians. Different ways of qi circulation are different exercises. Cleaning the meridians is actually to expand the meridians, making more spiritual energy pass through, and the meridians also have stronger bearing capacity.
If the human body is compared to a country, then the meridians are roads, and each acupoint is a station. The wider the road, the more developed the traffic will naturally be, the more spiritual energy it can be transported, and the stronger the power it will be.
There is an old Chinese saying, "If you want to get rich, build roads first."
There is also an old saying in the world of immortal cultivation, saying that if you want to cultivate immortality, you should first wash your pulse.
In addition to washing the meridians, the new immortal cultivator also needs to open up spiritual eyes, that is, where spiritual energy is stored. Only by opening up spiritual eyes can the absorbed spiritual energy be stored, expanded, and form basic energy that can be used for spells.
However, different practice methods have different ways of opening the spiritual eye, and even the locations are different. Therefore, Xu Muyang did not teach Tang Jie the method of opening the spiritual eye - he will join the Xiyue Sect in the future, where there are better skills to learn than the Xu family.
Therefore, cleaning the meridians is to lay the foundation, but if you don’t open your spiritual eyes for a day, Tang Jie will not be considered a formal apprentice of immortal cultivation for a day.
"That means, I have to wait until I enter Xiyue Academy before I can start formal practice?"
"What? Are you anxious?" Xu Muyang asked with a smile.
Tang Jie blushed, but he did not make any arguments: "It's just a moment of dedication."
"I can understand your mood." Xu Muyang smiled and said, "But cultivation is not a matter of overnight success. Only when the foundation is well established can practice twice the result with half the effort. In fact, children of your age have not yet grown up, and cleaning the meridians is the most suitable time. Unfortunately, many people cannot stand their desire for magic and magical powers, so there are always people who want to be happy for a while... For this reason, they have passed the difficult and painful rush to the door, but failed to be this simple meridian washing, resulting in limited results later."
He said this seriously, and Tang Jie felt awe-inspiringly, knowing that this was Xu Muyang's advice to him.
At this moment, he said solemnly: "I understand. No matter where you are, no matter what you do, patience is the key to our success."
"Well said!" Xu Muyang slapped his hand: "You don't have to worry. The expansion of meridians has its limit. The meridian washing can usually be completed in a year or two, and you can officially practice. At that time, I will introduce you to the Xiyue Sect. With the face of my great formation master, there should be no problem."
He did not say that he was based on his Tianxin Zhenren's face, but only the face of the great formation master, which shows how strong his confidence in his formation.
From this day on, Tang Jie began to practice the Tibetan Sutra and cleanse the meridians every day.
Although he is young, his soul is the soul of an adult. He has long passed the stage where a young man is beating and does not know how to control himself. Therefore, he will not repeat the mistakes after rushing once. His steadyness surprised Xu Muyang.
"It's obviously a deceitful mind, but he's young and mature, so it's really hard to see through." Xu Muyang had to admit that perhaps he was not the best in terms of cultivation qualifications, but in terms of being a person, he really couldn't regard the other party as a child.
Although he was busy with cultivation, Tang Jie did not neglect to take care of Xu Muyang. He still cleaned the yard carefully every day, and went out to work during the day to earn some household income.
Xu Muyang still stays in the house for most of the time to recuperate his injuries. No matter how long his injuries grow, his injuries are getting better and better. He can come out and walk around at any time. Occasionally, he will punch a set of fists to move his tired and lazy muscles.
Today he was idle and was wandering around the yard to enjoy the scenery. Suddenly he found that the rockery, pavilions, stone tables and surrounding flowers and plants were arranged inadvertently in line with some principles of heaven and earth. He thought that if he had a little change, he might be able to be arranged into a formation and immediately started to study it.
He was born with a preference for formations. In order to study formations, he could even ignore the position of the head of the Xu family.
Some time ago, he devoted himself to recuperating and had no time to study. Now that he is in good condition, he naturally has the heart to do what he loves to do.
At this moment, under his command, patterns flew out from under his feet, connecting the rockery, pavilions and other objects in the courtyard, and bright light flashed. In just a moment, a small array had been formed.
Then Xu Muyang pointed at the small formation: "Hidden!"
I saw that the flashing array pattern gradually dimmed and disappeared without a trace. If no one reminded me, no one would know that there was an array in the courtyard.
"Not bad! Not bad!" Looking at the new work he had just completed, Xu Muyang nodded with satisfaction. This formation was just arranged by him, but during the arrangement, he felt that many good ideas suddenly arose in his heart. With the inspiration burst out, he did not hesitate and hurried back to the house to write down his feelings when he set up the formation one by one.
After I finished writing everything, Xu Muyang's emotions were vented to the point of being refreshed. I felt that there was nothing left out. Then I looked up at the sky and found that it was already dark.
His Xu family's Dongxu Meridian is one of the major eye veins, and he regards the night as day, so he fails to notice the arrival of the night.
"Strange, why haven't that kid brought food yet?" Xu Muyang whispered in surprise.
Usually, Tang Jie should have come back at this time and he will prepare the supper and send it over.
Suddenly realizing something, Xu Muyang slapped his head: "Oh no!"
He rushed out of the room and saw Tang Jie circling around the yard. His eyes were confused. He obviously couldn't figure out the direction. He shouted from time to time: "Brother Xu!"
But the sound could not be heard outside the formation, so Xu Muyang didn't hear it at first.
Seeing this, he had been trapped inside for a long time.
"Huh! Fortunately, it's just a illusion array." Xu Muyang was also scared and sweated coldly.
Chapter completed!
