Chapter 3 Concentrating Qi and Building Yuan, Divi

　　At 5 o'clock, Zhang Yan turned back to his residence. 　　As soon as he returned to his cave, he moved the sealing stone bar to lock the door and proceeded to close the door. 　　The light in front of him dimmed, in the dark room Zhang Yan could not hide the joy in his heart, did not expect to open the veins before the most important method of building Yuan actually so easy to hand? Even with his qi cultivation skills, he could not help but be a little excited. 　　He was not in a hurry to cultivate, but washed his hands and changed his clothes, and lit the incense burner. 　　Sitting serenely and quietly for a moment, he took a piece of white paper and rewrote the entire dharma discipline silently, and as the words appeared one by one under his pen, his entire body slowly relaxed and his mind gradually settled down. 　　When the entire "Yongchuan Xing Pulse Technique" was written, his mind and body state was gradually adjusted to the best. 　　To build Yuan, that is, to condense the internal qi practiced all over the body into the Shen Que acupoint, to merge with the innate mouthful of Yuan qi brought from the mother's womb, thus planting the Immortal Root Spirit Seed. 　　There is a mnemonic that says: "The internal qi is mixed into one, and the first element is born." 　　This was the necessary path before opening the immortal vein, and this step was crucial to whether or not one would achieve something in the future. 　　Sit down on the futon, will all the distracting thoughts one by one out of the mind, he first run into the heart of the introductory skill to straighten out the breath, so after sitting silently for half an hour, his heart is already a peaceful and empty stillness. 　　After all the preparations, he began to recite the mantra, guiding his internal qi to move according to the pulse traveling method. 　　It wasn't long before he stopped. 　　Zhang Yan frowned slightly, in the past, he walked the qi to walk the pulse are smooth and free, the intention to the gas to, just this time but feel a little wrong, not only the breath is intermittent, walking is also quite stagnant, as if a person stumbled in the advance, there is always a stumbling block under the foot. 　　Fortunately, he had just begun to cultivate, so he simply dispersed the internal qi that he had just guided, fixed his mind, and started again from the beginning. 　　However, this time, the situation he encountered was no different from the last time. 　　Zhang Yan's face was stagnant, his eyes opened, and he decisively stopped practicing. 　　Cultivation can never be forced, if you are just trying to be strong, you will only damage your foundation. 　　Could it be that his qualifications were too poor, so he was unable to cultivate this technique? 　　He shook his head. 　　To say that the reason for his qualifications caused him to not be able to practice a certain superior technique, that might be the case, but to even move his qi and go through his veins so poorly, then the problem was by no means here. 　　What exactly was the reason? Could it be the cause of the magic skill itself? 　　Zhang Yan read the recipe again, his mind puzzled. 　　The technique does not have anything such as reverse qi, do not go through the odd meridian, positive and negative flow of tips, a glance can be seen is the most authentic but the Xuanmen Road, how to walk every step, where the line of qi, how to cooperate with the acupoints, how to respiratory correspondence, are clearly stated, in detail, can not be more detailed, almost not in the side of the teacher to supervise the guidance, so that the technique is not still have any problems? 　　If these two reasons are not, then it is possible that he did not find the right way to cultivate. 　　Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's heart moved, picked up the line pulse law repeatedly read a few times, until he saw "flowing water and down, its momentum natural" this eight words, the heart vaguely perceived where the problem lies. 　　Perhaps it was because the method was elaborated in great detail that caused him to be too deliberate when practicing and forget the true meaning of the natural flow of water in the Taoist book! 　　You have to know, the Xuanmen true law some focus on the divine intent, there are also focus on the method, both are indispensable, complementary, but there is a division between the king and the minister, but there is a division between the master and the subordinate; and this magic formula is obviously the divine intent first, the method in the back, he cultivation only obsessed with the "method", but ignored the "intent", the main and the secondary are reversed. When he practiced, he only focused on the "law" but neglected the "intention", reversing his priorities and carving too much, so he naturally fell short. 　　Zhang Yan put down the Dao skill and stroked his sleeve in deep thought. 　　Even though he had identified the crux of the matter, he still had no way to continue. 　　As long as he was bent on cultivating this Dao, that obsession would always exist, which would naturally contradict the divine Will, and in that case, he would inevitably be unable to force himself to continue cultivating. 　　If he were to let go of this, of course he would be able to get rid of his obsession, but naturally there would be no way to talk about raising his cultivation. 　　It was as if this was a dead end within a ring. 　　Zhang Yan stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, pondering how to cultivate. 　　On the path of cultivation, there are always all sorts of obstacles and difficulties, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the wrong path, or your cultivation will go backward instead of advancing, and the foundation of the Dao will be damaged, or you will go into the devil, and you will have to worry about your life. 　　This time to see the benefits of having a teacher, they can not only often ear, the critical moment will also be out to protect the law to support, cultivation of natural dangers greatly reduced. However, Zhang Yan is only a named disciple, neither teacher, and no fellow guidance to discuss, so can only rely on their own slowly fumble, break the heart barrier difficult. 　　Zhang Yan knows that this time is not urgent, but more to be calm, otherwise once the demonic obstacle blinded spirit platform, will only sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire. 　　After pondering for a long time, he realized that there was a way that was feasible. 　　That was to go out and travel. 　　Visiting famous mountains and scenic spots, observing the landscape and waiting for the time of the day in the Heart of Forgetfulness, when the time comes, the water will naturally flow into the water, and the work will be complete, which can also be said to be the cultivation method that is most in line with the true nature of Taoism. 　　However, this method was immediately dismissed by Zhang Yan, one is too long, two is too many variables. 　　This was only before the opening of the veins, if he were to obtain similar profound methods in the future, could it be that he would first travel to the mountains every time? This would be too much of a waste of time. What's more, the reason why he chose to close his eyes immediately was because he had a feeling that tonight was the best time for him to build his Yuan, and if he missed it, he didn't know when he would have to wait next time. 　　He couldn't help but close his eyes and contemplate, since he had seen the technique from the travelogue, he was already considered a "person of destiny", and it didn't make sense that the senior would leave such an obvious flaw. 　　There must be a way, and it must be hidden in the book! 　　He stared at the densely written words on the paper and read them back and forth a few times until his eyes ached, then suddenly, his back shrugged, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind! 　　Right! How did he forget that this Dao book was originally written in etching text? 　　Eroded text seems to be simple but is actually complex, the meaning is vast, each word reflects the truth of heaven and earth, a few strokes can say everything under the sky life and death and wither and flourish, this Taoist book of the law after he interpreted it, into thousands of words, but with the etching of the text to write, but only a mere 600 words. 　　This six hundred words has been the law of all said a clear through, the book of the predecessor of the etching has been the most shallow and straightforward, he refers to the interpretation of the transcript of the cultivation, it is not a borrowed mirror to see the moon, to seek the far? 　　So ...... 　　Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, simply put up his pen and dipped it in ink, took a piece of white paper, and rewrote the entire "Yongchuan Pulse Method" in etchings. 　　The entire "Pulse Method" had just been written, and the breath in his body that was originally frozen actually moved inexplicably. 　　Zhang Yan could not help but be energized, knowing that he had found the right method, he penned without stopping, writing the whole method in one breath, not seeing him stopping after writing, then pulling out a piece of white paper, putting up the pen and writing again. 　　Gradually, the body was originally like stagnant water like a thick internal gas like a submerged dragon stirred up, to the limbs of the diffusion of the hundreds of veins, the flow of swimming up, to be in the circumference of the sky walking once, and then in the Dantian convergence embrace, and so on and so on and so on and so on, and so on and so on and so on. 　　The whole process is natural, all depends on the true qi automatically, Zhang Yan did not deliberately pursue, his mind has been fully immersed into the etching of the pen. 　　The whole body's breath began as a trickle of fine water, dense, with the line of veins law written over and over again, the breath is also more and more powerful, to be later on has been like a big river rushing, the Yangtze River waves, in the circumference of the body up and down the drumming more than the rushing. 　　However, Zhang Yan heart no joy, no sorrow, completely do not care about it, write to the end, the pen in the hand has been no ink, but he in the eyes, an etching is still from the pen gushing out, even if he did not have his intention to guide, the internal qi also follow the recipe in the qi veins in the circle, will be blocked meridians one by one to wash open. 　　After three hundred and sixty-five revolutions of the circumference, the whole body's internal qi was like a tidal wave that rose and fell, squeezing the various orifices in waves on Zhang Yan's body. 　　When this vast breath reaches the apex, originally located deep within the umbilicus, since birth will be closed orifices suddenly shock, actually open a gap, surging internal gas as found a way to vent, have to influx, a moment later will disappear completely, a time, the body has become empty, the whole person is terrified as swinging in the void. 　　If there is no famous teacher to guide, once a cultivator encounters such a situation can not help but panic and suspicion, the mind is restless, which will lead to the failure of the effort, but Zhang Yan has experienced the cycle of life and death, the mind is firm, still calm as usual, deep inside the waves can not be heard, to the body of all that is happening in the body do not ask and do not listen to, let it be natural. 　　As expected, not long after, the disappearance of the internal qi again by the Dan orifices slowly spit out, just which seems to be mixed with a trace of the innate yuan qi, and then by the Dan orifices again inhaled, so round-trip breathing eight times, the internal qi and innate yuan qi and the innate yuan qi is a natural one, not distinguish between them, when the internal qi the ninth slowly returned to the Dan orifices, is located in the umbilical cord of the Shen Que point suddenly jumped! 　　Boom! 　　Zhang Yan back of the head seems to be gently knocked by a jade mallet, the ears came a clear sound, in front of the eyes first white, and then the light is bright, the mouth of the liquid self-generated, berth into the throat, along with a hot gas sinking down, and finally fell in the umbilical cord in the depths of, and finally settled down. 　　Zhang Yan pen suddenly stopped, raised his head, found that all over the ground are the paper he wrote. 　　The hole left on the cave wall in front of him had a white light penetrating into it, and without realizing it, it turned out that a night had already passed. 　　At this moment, instead of feeling tired, he was refreshed, his five senses were clear, and his heart was peaceful. 　　His whole temperament has also changed, vaguely having the air of dust. 　　If he can see himself, he can find that his face at this time a layer of crystalline jade color floated, in the flow of the head, eyes are as bright as stars, which means that, from today onwards, he has stepped into the "condensation of yuan show meaning" realm in the construction of yuan, from the last step of the construction of yuan, "yuan into the real! The last step of the Yuan Construction process, "Yuan Cheng into Truth", is just a hair's breadth away. 　　Zhang Yan threw the brush in his hand, quickly walked a few steps, took the sealing door stone bar, pulled open the door, a step out. 　　Walked out two steps before he stopped, surprised to look at both hands, this sealing stone weighs more than three hundred pounds, although he is strong and fit, but in the past when moving is also quite a struggle, but just now just gently lifted, the sealing stone will be moved to one side. 　　He couldn't help but realize that he had often heard people say that after a cultivator builds a yuan, "his arms have a thousand kilograms of strength, his eyes can see through heavy smoke and mist, and his ears can recognize insect lines and birds' voices, so he is close to being an immortal", so it seems that this legend is true? 　　Zhang Yan hands clenched fists, took a deep breath, secretly reminded himself that this is only the first step on the road only, can not be complacent, there are more dangerous passes behind waiting for their own, this time to rejoice is too early. 　　At this time, a clear and pleasant crane cry came, a long time. 　　Zhang Yan turned his head to look, at the moment when the sun is rising, the clouds and fog open dispersion, the mountain forests are dyed with golden haze, the long winding river under the cliff is like a white line of jade belt, from time to time there are three or two white feathered cranes from the foot of the trestle flew by. 　　He stood at the edge of the cliff, the cold morning wind brushed by, although only a Taoist robe, but do not feel the slightest bit of cold, let the sleeves swing in the wind. 　　After three years of practicing the introductory heart method, the upper level of the method once into the hand, overnight will be condensed qi to build yuan, can be described as a thick accumulation of thin hair, the water to the channel. 　　He couldn't help but think, if at this time he was still practicing hard in the cavern every day, just waiting for the Heavenly Dao to give him alms and focusing on chance, would he still have today's encounter? 　　The answer is obviously not. 　　Cultivation of the road, such as thousands of troops and horses on a log bridge, there is no concession, the only way forward, any of his thousands of difficulties and obstacles, but also to be seen as a straight path. 　　The former I Ching once said "the end of the day dry dry, repeated Road also", is not precisely that the gentleman to self-improvement, regardless of good times and bad times have to be repeatedly insisted on, which can be in line with the right way of masculinity? 　　Visible themselves to forge ahead, and to forge ahead, it is the move on the heavenly way. 　　In a word, people must help themselves and heaven help! 　　Thinking of this, he was again enlightened. 　　At this moment, his complexion moved and he suddenly turned his head to look towards the other end of the trestle. 　　Now that his five senses were sharp, he could hear from afar that someone was hurrying towards his side. 　　Not long after, a seventeen or eighteen year old woman's figure came into view, her head was pulled up in a Dao bun, her body was covered in narrow-sleeved long clothes, a man's attire, and there was also a sword at her waist, at a glance she was quite heroic, only that her chin was slightly sharp and thin, which gave people the feeling that it was not good for them to get close to her. 　　She came all the way to Zhang Yan, looking at him with a gaze filled with ill will, asking, "You are Zhang Yan?" 　　Zhang Yan had never seen this woman before in his life and replied, "Precisely my humble self, who is the girl?" 　　"My name is Zhao Ying." The woman waved her hand with a cold face and said, "Quickly pack up your gifts and follow me down the mountain, if you are late, things will change." 　　Zhang Yan only felt puzzled and questioned, "What does Miss Zhao mean?" 　　"You this little ......" upon hearing this Zhao Ying anger from the heart, would like to swear, but look at Zhang Yan elegant, temperament and elegance is even more outstanding, after that "thief" word can not swear out! He only stared at him fiercely and said, "You still have the face to ask? It is you who caused my brother to suffer!" 　　In her heart, she cursed that this guy was born with a good skin, no wonder he was able to fool her brother! 　　Zhang Yan was stunned at his words and looked at the woman's appearance, which vaguely resembled Zhao Yuan's. On second thought, he suddenly realized and asked, "But is there something wrong with Senior Brother Zhao?" 　　Zhao Ying snorted coldly, his face filled with resentment. 　　Zhang Yan understood and secretly sighed, he had long since seen that Zhao Yuan, a person who was joyful and angry, had an uncertain mind, and had warned him to be prudent in his cultivation, but he did not expect that something had still gone wrong. 　　It turns out that last night, Zhao Yuan began to listen to Zhang Yan's words, but the book of the road in the hand and said to endure to endure? Repeatedly observed after the unconscious practice up, who knows that this piece of magic do not about the trick, he used too much effort too quickly, so out of order, even spit out a few mouths of blood after fainting. 　　Because of the Cangwu Mountain in the past few days there is a big thing happened, he was originally in Tai'an Guan cultivation of his little sister Zhao Ying coincidentally also mountain, after hearing the anger, thought Zhang Yan is just a liar, ran to ask Min Lou why he harmed his brother? 　　Originally Zhang Yan's business Min Lou also only and a few close brothers and sisters talked about, many people do not know, now in order to protect their own reputation, had to come forward for Zhang Yan eyes. 　　This result triggered a chain reaction, Cangwu on the mountain is now gathered three view of the disciples, Dexiu Guan's disciple Hu Sheng Yu is also among them, and that sold "Yongchuan traveling water book" Bianqiao is the steward of this person. 　　When Bianqiao learned of this, his first reaction was that someone was trying to defraud him, and he didn't care. Later, once Min Lou came forward, he felt that the matter was not simple, Min Lou had long been recognized by the master, sooner or later, he would be a disciple of the Dexiu Guan, he would never believe in the truth. 　　Someone actually interpreted the etchings in private? 　　He was shocked and furious in his heart, the servants of the three guangs were also frequent exchanges, although they did not verbally pick out, but no one fished over the line, Zhang Yan's move to help Min Lou and Zhao Yuan and others to decipher the etchings was in his opinion that was to cut off his own financial path ah! 　　Only Zhang Yan is a good abyss view disciple, he is not good directly out to take people, and then thought, Zhao Yuan this matter just gave him an excuse, then pretended to sympathize with the door to visit some, said to let Zhao Yuan relaxed, he will be for the moral cultivation of the view to seek justice. 　　Zhao Yuan woke up soon after and was shocked to learn of this incident, and called Zhao Ying over and scolded her, telling her to come over and apologize to Zhang Yan immediately, and letting her arrange for Zhang Yan to go down the mountain to avoid the storm. 　　Zhao Ying was not willing to apologize. In her heart, she still thought that Zhang Yan was a liar, but she didn't dare to disobey Zhao Yuan's words, so she only thought to drive Zhang Yan down the mountain and forget about it. 　　Zhao Ying said a few more words to Zhang Yan reluctantly, and although his words were veiled, Zhang Yan still roughly understood the cause and effect. 　　Once this incident occurred, it seems that he has already attracted the attention of some people in advance, which is faster than expected, Zhao Yuan can send people to inform themselves overnight, without fear of danger and refuge, indicating that this person is worthy of deep friendship. 　　Zhang Yan looked calm and said, "You go back and tell brother Zhao that I already know about this matter, thank him for informing him in time, and ask him not to worry, I have my own arrangements." 　　Zhao Ying was unwilling to work for Zhang Yan from the bottom of her heart, and now that she saw that he refused to go down the mountain, then she was even more happy to do so, and she herself was not considered to have disobeyed her elder brother's wishes, and her heart was even more secretive, saying, "I don't know what to do with the little thief! I don't know Bianqiao's power, wait for that evil slave to arrive, then there will be a good show for you!"
