Chapter 72
Inside the Wentian Pavilion, Master Mingzong stood in front of the stele again. He carefully read the words on it, looking for possible omissions.
After reading it again, I didn't find any omissions. The stele indeed regards "spirit" as the power of heaven and earth, which is consistent with Zheng Qiu's phenomenon of absorbing the power of heaven and earth. Where is the problem? Why did the amount of "wood spirits" not increase after a month of high-intensity practice.
Master Ming Zong stared at the stele in a daze, thinking about the answer to this question in his mind.
Suddenly, he thought of a point that should not be overlooked by him. This stone tablet pointed out the location of the spirit detection roulette, and there were twelve such stone tablets in the cave where the spirit detection roulette was hidden.
These steles were all carved by a person named Mumeihua, but no stele has ever been written on, and the total number of steles is only thirteen.
Yes, it must be the problem. The more Master Mingzong thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the answer.
He remembered the twelve stone tablets in the cave, each of which recorded something, and he could not find the record of one thing at that time.
Judging from the things recorded in other steles, this missing thing is exactly how Mumeihua controls and uses the "spirit".
Master Ming Zong's eyes slowly lit up, yes, at that time I was still surprised that Mumeihua found a way to control and use the "spirit", but there was no record. From this point of view, there are other steles left outside, which happened to record this aspect.
He walked towards the stairs, thinking in his mind, it seems that he is going to the Treasure Tower to make a list, calling on the treasure-hunting disciples to look for the stele, how much should he be paid?
Hanging a hundred heavenly crystals seems to be a bit cheaper. Hanging six thousand heavenly crystals will be too expensive, and it’s not good to attract attention. It’s better to hang a thousand heavenly crystals first, and then add more.
The next day, Zheng Qiu came to the Fangcao Building and sat on the straw mat in the middle of the courtyard to practice kung fu as usual. The master came very late today, and it was almost noon before his figure appeared in a hurry.
Master Mingzong entered the courtyard, took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to the apprentice.
"This is the exercise I found. It should be a kind of life exercise. You can practice this first."
Zheng Qiu took the book and found that it was a scroll. The scroll was very long, more than ten feet wide open.
The name of the scroll is "Snake Tun Body Refining Sutra". From the first sentence, it is about how to exercise the body and strengthen the muscle meridians. There is also a small illustration in the middle, showing how to use the correct posture to exercise.
Zheng Qiu was puzzled: "Master, didn't you say that you can only practice one kind of life skill? I use wood spirits to practice, and it seems that it has nothing to do with this."
"I didn't let you practice according to this exercise."
What the master said made Zheng Qiu even more confused, how can he practice without following the practice?
Master Ming Zong pulled the scroll to the second half, pointed to the words on it and said, "Don't worry about the body training part, start here..."
This "Snake Swallowing Body Training Sutra" is a pure body training method, which requires practitioners to exercise their bodies for many years to beat their bodies to the point where they are as strong as tigers and beasts.
However, this is only the foundation, the premise of truly practicing this technique.
After having a tough and powerful body, the practitioner must use the secret method in the "Snake Tun Body Refining Sutra" to extract energy from the flesh. This step is completely using blood to generate vitality, and using flesh to generate energy, which is very similar to the principle of cherishing the medicine qi sea blood thunder.
Therefore, this cultivation process is very dangerous. If the practitioner's physical body is not strong enough, it is very likely that the flesh and blood will be drained and eventually die.
Master Ming Zong wanted Zheng Qiu to directly use this secret method to extract energy from the flesh and blood. Anyway, the apprentice had the "wood spirit" body protection, so no matter how hard he tossed about the next day, he would still be running around.
As for the refined energy, it should be warmed in the dantian and mixed with the "wood spirit".
Because the energy produced by using flesh and blood is exactly the same as that of Zheng Qiu's body, the "wood spirit" does not reject Zheng Qiu, so naturally it will not reject this energy.
Master Mingzong’s idea is,
Mix the refined energy with the "wood spirit", and at the same time wrap the "wood spirit" with energy when driving the "wood spirit" to travel through the meridians of the whole body.
This kind of vigor can naturally bring the power of the "wood spirit", it has no effect on the cultivation of the "wood spirit" directly, and a detour may be a way.
As for the future, Master Mingzong also left a way out.
At the end of this "Snake Tun Body Refining Sutra", there is also the exercise content about Snake Tun.
Snake swallowing is actually the safety guarantee left by this kind of exercise for practitioners. When a practitioner is unable to carry his body through the energy training, he can use this method of snake swallowing to swallow food, medicine, and even other cultivation methods. The person's vigor to quickly replenish their own consumption.
Master Ming Zong had already planned to find the lost stele and figure out the control and usage of the "spirit". Let the apprentice use the snake swallow to absorb the qi he has cultivated, so that the apprentice can not only have the cultivation base, but also have the opportunity to use the "wood spirit" correctly.
Genius, what a genius, for a moment Master Mingzong felt so good about himself that he exploded, and he laughed wildly in his heart: "Hahaha, only I Mingzong can come up with this idea, who said I can only plant grass but not teach apprentices Yes, I will teach you one, hahaha..."
Zheng Qiu found that the master suddenly stopped in the middle of what he was saying, and after a while he was shaking his head and laughing alone, he couldn't help being a little scared.
It's scary, master, what's wrong, it's been weird for the past few days.
He stretched out his hand and pulled the master's robe: "Master, master..."
"Ah? Ah!" Master Ming Zong came back to his senses, seeing Zheng Qiu's expression, he immediately realized that he had lost his composure.
Damn it, in front of him is his apprentice, but not the suzerain, it will lose face as a master.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat and straightened his face, "You start with this Qi Jin, and then use Qi Jin..."
Zheng Qiu recited the cultivation method by heart, then closed his eyes and entered the state of introspection.
According to the "Snake Swallowing Body Refining Sutra", he needs to find a circle of meridians at the heart, and then use his spirit to guide the blood in the heart, break through the limitation of blood vessels and flow into the meridians.
Next, he will use the incoming trace of blood to form the serpentine pattern drawn on the scroll.
Just when the serpentine pattern was formed, a powerful suction erupted from this position, sweeping the blood in the entire heart. Zheng Qiu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if a huge boa constrictor appeared here, and his whole body's strength was being swallowed by it continuously.
His body trembled violently, and his whole body lost all color in an instant.
Soon, snot, tears, and saliva dripped from his face, and his arms and cheeks dried up quickly. Before he could hold on enough to drink a glass of water, he collapsed with a thump, his tongue drooping and motionless.
Master Ming Zong stroked his beard, and said to himself: "This "Snake Swallowing Body Training Sutra" is quite powerful, the effect is so strong, it seems to be from the hands of an expert, you have to put it up when you return the book How many floors. Hmm... more than six hundred floors are fine."
