Chapter 4:
Ling Fei was a person who could bear her temperament. During her lifetime, she volunteered in the countryside while preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. She had no entertainment and no place to go shopping. She is the only teacher left in the school on weekends, and she can stand it even if she often spends a day in the school dormitory reading books.
In this respect, Li Canghai was stronger than Wu, Wu, and Li.
Li Canghai retreated for another ten days. On this day, she needed to go out to wash her hair and take a bath. In summer, it was definitely the limit to practice the exercises day and night without taking a bath for ten days. Her eldest maid, Luyi, took four little maids to serve her. Li Canghai was still just a Luo Li, and in her memory, the original owner was also served by maids in this way.
When she first came, she didn't want to be recognized for changing the core, and of course she refused to be served without showing that she was afraid of life. She also planned to wait for her to grow up, and then insist on taking a bath by herself, so as to avoid the servant girl's service.
She used two buckets of hot water to take a bath and her hair, and the maids put on a wide robe for her.
It was sunny outside, and she planned to dry her hair, but when she got to the garden, she saw a few gardeners trimming the flowerbed.
Li Canghai hadn't enjoyed such a time when he didn't have to do anything for a long time.
She ordered the maids to move out of the imperial concubine's couch and put it in the shade at the door.
She was leaning lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, her wet hair hanging behind the couch, and casually watching the gardeners work, in fact she was just in a daze.
While watching, I was in a daze, only to feel that the eyelids got heavier, and I fell asleep unknowingly.
Dazed, ups and downs, gently fluttering. —Suddenly, she returned to the teacher's dormitory of Ling Fei's school, where there was still a bush at the door of her dormitory. She was cooking them, and after loosening the soil and fertilizing, she took out the scissors and trimmed off the old branches of the flower. In this way, it will pull out more and stronger new branches, and only from the new branches can flower buds be pulled out, and the fragrant and beautiful blossoms will bloom.
Li Canghai woke up suddenly, his mind was ethereal for a moment, reaching a mysterious state.
Like the accidental and inevitable inspiration of any brilliant inventor and scientist in his own life. It's like the sudden realization of Newton's head being hit by an apple; it's like Heidi Lamar got a flash of inspiration from the musician George Antel, and thus invented the "frequency hopping" technology by borrowing the practice of the automatic piano.
Li Canghai thought: Life needs exercise, but during exercise, people often waste their energy. But in real life, people who are diligent in exercising must have better health. Is it because the energy is consumed again and again, the energy circulates and flows, but the energy of the person will become larger and larger.
"Internal strength" and "energy" are not equal, but there are also related places. Is there a similar "dao"?
Now, in order to break through the first level of "Changchun Immortality" as soon as possible, the four including her are in continuous retreat to cultivate internal skills, and they are reluctant to spend a trace of true qi on weekdays. But isn't it like being reluctant to prune old branches?
When she was in college, she was in the craze for Chinese studies. Although Ling Fei studied science and biology in college, she was also very good in liberal arts and had excellent Chinese grades. She loved Chinese studies since she was a child. She has also read Tao Te Ching and Zhuang Zi, and Taoist philosophy is very suitable for her heart and spleen. Since the time of crossing, she has never thought that martial arts have such a big relationship with those. After all, the martial arts mentality still teaches her how to be lucky.
But this time, she combined the dream with the books she had read, and had an epiphany about the "circulation movement" and "the rise and fall of yin and yang":
It is often adversity that inspires progress, just as a flower grows and thrives when its branches are pruned.
"Eliminate" stimulates "long"; because the cup is empty, water can be filled; only when there is "loss" can "gain" be achieved; one side of a scale must be suspended in the air, and something must be placed on the other side, otherwise it will fall to the ground.
In Taoist Taiji Diagram, Yin and Yang are interdependent. Suddenly, if you cultivate external energy as yang, and internal energy as yin, then only yin and yang will grow and flow, and everything will be alive. Isn't the ebb and flow of yin and yang the origin of "Tao"?
Li Canghai didn't ask Xiaoyaozi if she was thinking right, but she gave herself time to experience it. After she wanted to have a real experience and support with practical data, she might ask her master to get more.
But Li Canghai has an advantage over her brothers and sisters, that is, she has no psychological pressure. The three disciples of Xiaoyaozi's family are vying to be the head of the sect. She, the four disciples of the gift, did not want to beat them, but only wanted to beat the self of yesterday, so she is not afraid of "trial and error", and she can afford the price of "trial and error" .
Li Canghai simply returned to the meditation room after having a meal. He immediately took out his sword and practiced a set of free and easy swordsmanship. This is the basic martial arts of the master.
She kept practicing and repeating until she couldn't hold her true energy anymore, then she lay down and fell asleep according to the spit of the Xiaoyao sect.
The next day, Li Canghai, who slept well and had enough food, felt full of energy again, but at this time, she retreated to practice the internal skills of "not old school".
Li Canghai wanted to verify whether it would be more beneficial for her to practice "not old-fashioned" by using the method of combining movement and stillness with growth and decline.
In the beginning, Li Canghai spent half of his time practising "not old skill", which seemed to be a huge disadvantage at first glance.
But Li Canghai didn't give up, because although her progress didn't speed up, it didn't seem to slow down much either.
…
Time flies, another year.
Based on the original "Bei Ming Zhen Qi", the three young masters practiced "Immortal Qi". The early stage was very smooth, but they lost a pure word, and the more they went to the back, the more stagnant they became.
In the end, there is a sense of conflict between the "not old practice" and the internal strength that they have cultivated in their original practice, and this is what Master wants them to overcome.
There are four levels of "Not Lao Gong", and each level has nine stages, which coincides with the number of forty-nine. Wu Xingyun and Wu Yazi have practiced the sixth stage of the first stage, but Li Qiushui has only reached the fifth stage.
They changed to practice "not old-fashioned" in the middle of the process. At this stage, they are at the time when the two kinds of exercises are fighting each other. In fact, it will affect their original martial arts progress.
At this year's sparring gathering, Xiaoyaozi tested the progress of his disciples. What surprised him the most was that his little apprentice Li Canghai had already reached the third stage, which also surprised her three classmates secretly.
Wu, Wu, and Li were also competitive. When they found out that this little junior sister had caught up, they couldn't help but feel anxious, so they practiced harder. However, when they reached the seventh stage of the first stage of cultivation, they were almost stagnant and difficult to advance. The original "three great powers" on their bodies strongly counteracted the operation of "not old skills". , the "Three Miracles" can still accommodate it, but now they seem to feel threatened.
As a result, the "Bei Ming True Qi" in their bodies was also divided into two parts, half of which performed their original "three great powers", and the other half wanted to perform "not old powers", which tortured the three disciples unbearably.
After another half a year, they still did not break through the seventh stage because of the conflict between the two exercises on their bodies.
At Xiaoyaozi's practice conference, everyone was shocked that Li Canghai, the younger sister, had also reached the seventh stage of his practice.
At this time, Xiaoyaozi sat cross-legged on the head, with a childlike face, the wind was elegant, the clouds were light and the wind was light.
Xiaoyaozi asked Wu Xingyun, the eldest apprentice indifferently, and said, "You have made little progress in practicing Qigong, where is the difficulty?"
Wu Xingyun said, "I didn't know how it was when I first practiced this magic skill, but now every time I practice this skill, I only feel colic in the dantian, qi and blood surging, and the disciple can only hold on for a moment before adjusting his breath."
Xiaoyaozi asked Wuyazi and Li Qiushui again, and Wuyazi and Li Qiushui said, "My disciple is the same as Big Sister."
Xiaoyaozi and Li Canghai: "Canghai, how about you? Is there any stagnation?"
Li Canghai shook his head and said, "The 'Changchun Immortality' is extensive and profound. Although the apprentice's aptitude is dull, it is not like the situation of senior sisters and senior brothers."
Li Qiushui looked at Li Canghai, with no taboos in his heart, and thought to himself: Could it be that I have passed through, and I have inherited the memory and talent of the original owner, so I am not as good as her young local girl?
No, in the original book anyway, it was Wu Yazi who took over the head, not her little sister.
Li Qiushui also thought that Wuyazi's kung fu in the original work was "Beiming Magic", not "Changchun Immortal Kung Fu". Could it be that they didn't practice it in the end?
Li Qiushui thought about his smooth and mysterious "Small Wuxiang Gong", and became a little tired of the so-called "Changchun Not Old Gong" whose progress was stagnant. If she uses this time to practice Xiaowuxianggong, she must have achieved something. Moreover, the internal skills of the Xiaoyao School all have the art of keeping the face, and it is not necessarily necessary to practice "not old skills".
Wu Yazi wondered: "I don't know how the younger sister practiced? But the situation is different from me?"
Li Canghai said: "I just practice according to the secrets, yin and yang go hand in hand, although at the seventh stage, luck and practice are very complicated, and there are often times when the qi goes against the human body's zenith, but there is nothing that the senior sisters and brothers said The moment when dantian colic and blood surges."
The three of them were even more astonished when they heard it. They couldn't help thinking, could it be that their celestial appearance is so different from that of the younger sister?
Li Qiushui was the first to lose his temper and begged: "Master, your disciple has disappointed you. But please ask your master to clear up your doubts."
Xiaoyaozi smiled slightly, but asked Li Canghai, "Do you have any ideas?"
Li Canghai looked at the three of his classmates, then met Xiaoyaozi's gaze, pondered for a moment, and said lightly, "Senior sisters and brothers are far better than me, but..."
Wu Yazi said: "Little Junior Sister may wish to speak bluntly."
Seeing Xiaoyaozi also nodding, Li Canghai said: "Everyone in the world has a mind of gain and loss. The brothers and sisters are too concerned about their gains and losses, and they are still unwilling to give up. That's why they are troubled. 'Not old', they have two kinds of magic. Although the two kinds of magic have the same origin and can temporarily coexist, they are different after all. ', but if the 'master' feels threatened by the 'officer', the 'master' will oppress the 'official', otherwise the 'official' will bully the 'master'. The 'officer' gradually becomes larger, the 'lord' guards against the 'official', and the 'official' has no small ambitions, and the 'world' will be in chaos."
In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, there is a distinction between "monarch and minister" in the analysis of the five internal organs and the method of drug use. While internal energy operates in the human body and exists in the five zang-organs and meridians, the operation of gong methods affects the whole body with one hair.
Therefore, how can there not be a "monarch, minister and subordinate" when there are several exercises on the body? And at this time, it is necessary to change the original "monarch-subject relationship", how can it be so easy?
