Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 4: Observe thoughts and see the ocean of mind

The two chatted until nightfall, and Lu Chen finally memorized the essentials of the three techniques.

Lu Chen couldn't wait and wanted to practice on the spot, but Qiu Chuji stopped him.

"Haste makes waste. Cultivation is not about hard work. Taoist martial arts emphasizes being natural and doing things without doing anything." Qiu Chuji said, "Chen'er, you are just growing up. You must not stay up late and use up your energy."

His attitude is stern and his gaze is deep, giving people an irrefutable feeling.

Lu Chen thought of his parents who rushed up to warn him when he was playing on his mobile phone and computer at night. He felt a headache and a warm feeling at the same time. He just smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, yes..."

And just as every parent's words were correct, Lu Chen lay down for a while, his spirit slowly relaxed, and the sleepiness suppressed by the excitement really came over him one by one, and he went to sleep next to the fire pot.

Qiu Chuji sat cross-legged on the side, just sitting and thinking and forgetting to sleep.

He was considered free and easy. He woke up early the next day and left his new disciple alone without saying a word.

When Lu Chen woke up again, he saw no one else in the Taoist temple. It was quiet and peaceful, as if it was separated from the world. The wind and snow outside are getting stronger and stronger, with a lot of wadding blowing, and some gray-white embers are faintly flying upward from the extinguished brazier, mixed with the white snow that occasionally blows in, making it difficult to distinguish the cold hot.

"What a snow."

He was confused for a moment, looking at the snow quietly, his mind empty.

After watching for a while, I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. I touched my new thick clothes and realized that it was not a dream. Thinking of this, my mind cleared up and I couldn't help but smile.

"Martial arts... Hey, I am also a master of martial arts... Well, although it will be in the future... Well, although it may not be in the future..."

stab-

Lu Chen turned over, lit the brazier again, and began to think about the three martial arts that he had written down yesterday.

If I want to learn the most, it must be Quanzhenxinfa.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged and meditated, settling his mind, breathing in and out, and looking for the sense of Qi in his body.

His understanding ability is not bad. Relying on some summarized methodological ideas, when he asked Qiu Chuji yesterday, the questions were often to the point. Qiu Chuji answered them one by one, and he was already 70-80% sure.

It is not difficult to find the sense of Qi now, and I will get the clue in a short time. Under a wonderful feeling, I experienced concepts such as Dantian and meridians respectively.

It was only after he followed that he discovered why he was considered "hopeless" by Qiu Chuji.

According to Qiu Chuji's description, the best age for ordinary people to practice Qi is from eight to twelve years old. At that time, the meridians are initially developed and formed, exquisite and clear, spotless, and most suitable for laying the foundation. This is the so-called boy's skill.

But Lu Chen has reached the end of his adolescence, and his meridians are full of blockage, aging, and damage. Even if he is of good quality, it is still difficult to accumulate internal energy.

If we look for his peers in history, Lu Chen's starting conditions are roughly equivalent to those of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the Shuanglongs of the late Sui Dynasty. However, his difficulty lies in the fact that he lacks a copy of "Secret of Immortality".

"Hey, there is no hope for practicing qi for a while. These meridians are running around, just like a car driving on a dirt road in the mountains without roads. If you are not careful, something will happen. The car fell off the cliff, but I It's a misfortune, but it's also a dead end." Lu Chen frowned, "There's no such thing as the Secret of Immortality that can transform decay into something magical. I can only trouble Master and ask him to use his internal energy to clear my meridians every day, which is a waste of time until I cultivate it. Until you feel vented."

This is hard work, but it is also a necessary price. Otherwise, how can we say that practicing Qi is a child's skill?

Lu Chen sighed for a while, then thought about refining his body, and comforted himself, "If you can't become Wang Chongyang, being Xiang Yu is pretty good."

He stood up and assumed a Namo Fist stance.

Compared with internal strength training, boxing is much simpler. Remember every move clearly and just follow the instructions.

After persisting for several times, Lu Chen stopped with sweat all over his body and his face turned pale, "It is more effective than Qi training, but... well, body training itself is to use the body's nutrients efficiently, but My body doesn’t have any extra nutrients at all. This way, I have to nourish my body with plenty of fish and meat, and then I can achieve certain results in body training.”

He also pondered, "And if you want to be as successful as Xiang Yu, Guan Yu, and Li Yuanba, you must be extremely talented and have better bones and skin than ordinary people. Otherwise, you have to wait until you are successful in practicing qi and feed it back to the physical body... After all, essence, qi, The three paths of God are never independent."

He thought about it and shook his head again, feeling a little lack of oxygen.

This boxing technique consumes so much energy that I can no longer practice it for a while.

Lu Chen thought again, "Let's try refining the gods again!" Then he crossed his legs.

Lian Shen Dao is very similar to Lian Qi. They both involve sitting and meditating, but the objects of meditation are completely different. Practicing qi is about your body, but practicing qi is in your mind from the very beginning.

The key to this method is to visualize your mind as a lake in your heart, in which there is an evil dragon rolling over the river, and the waves are endless. How hateful!

Those churning water splashes, one after another, are all distracting thoughts that hinder people's understanding, practice, and all behaviors. As long as it is not removed for a day, there will be no freedom.

Only when the evil dragon is captured and the river waves calm down, only the roar of the dragon can be heard, and the sea is clear and the river is clear, can the soul be at peace.

…It’s pretty abstract, to be honest.

He couldn't train his Qi, couldn't train his body, and Lu Chen didn't put his hope in this seemingly more difficult form of god training at this moment. I thought to myself that I should give up practicing martial arts, go back to the Southern Song Dynasty to do business and become a rich man... and then I thought about what novelties could be invented in this era... In the future, if I make money, I can also make friends with some heroes... I would treat it as a star chaser... marry Wife and children... be willing to be ordinary...

He thought about it, thinking that he would be seventy or eighty years old and have a peaceful life, which was acceptable.

The mind unconsciously settles down according to the "mind-moving Long Yin Guan thought".

When I came back to my senses again, I saw that the world in front of me had changed. It was no longer a Taoist temple, but a vast ocean and waves of water vapor. I was floating in the air, and when I looked down, I saw thousands of miles of blue and vast expanse, but it was one place. Jianghai.

"This is... my inner lake... but it's better to say it's more like the inner sea..."

After staring for a while, he suddenly realized.

After this idea appeared, I saw waves sprouting when the wind blew. But under the waves, thick and dark shadows were wandering. At a glance, there are black shadows everywhere in the sea. There may be thousands of them within a few miles.

Wow, one of the shadows squirmed and rose into the sky. It turned out to be a dragon with a ferocious face, sharp teeth and claws, which was very terrifying. The dragon turned and threw itself into the sea, which stirred up wind and waves. Every time the wind blew and every wave formed, the sea water everywhere it passed became filthy, smelly, black and smelly.

Immediately afterwards, in this vast sea of ​​​​mind, other dragons also rose and fell from time to time. The situation was normal, the wind and waves were also aroused, and the sea water became black and smelly.

Of course, some dragons would not get up for a while, and the black smell of the water gradually faded away and became clear and clear.

In this way, a sea is undergoing similar changes all the time. The water is white one moment, and black and smelly the next. The water is black and smelly one moment, and white the next. It is like a person's mind, occasionally having some distracting thoughts, and occasionally Some distracting thoughts disappeared, and the sea water was sometimes black and sometimes white, with no stable state.

Lu Chen was startled at first. The frequency of the dragon's rise and fall increased greatly, and the black water in his heart increased.

But he gradually understood and felt calm. The black water gradually washed away the rotten smell and became clean and flawless. But outside of that, there's still a lot of black water.

"So that's it. As soon as my heart moves, there is a reflection here. No matter whether my heart is confused or evil, or whether my heart is righteous and calm, I can see it with my eyes. It seems that it is a bit difficult for me to practice Qi and body. Only practicing the God-refining method has no obstacles. .”

Lu Chen thought, "Although the method of refining gods has no effect in the acquired stage, it is still the only way. I want to kill these evil dragons one by one, and once I reach the innate realm, I can steal the 'Heaven's Secret' and reach the Things were very different then.”

As he thought, he observed the sea in his mind. Unexpectedly, I found that as long as I concentrated my thoughts, there would be several areas shining with blue light, which would be peaceful and peaceful, without any disturbance.

"Oh, could this be what I'm thinking right now? Let me try..."

Lu Chen immediately thought about things again, and transferred the contents of dozens of obscene novels he had read in his previous life to his body. Sometimes it was about beauty, sometimes about power, sometimes about wealth, sometimes about martial arts...

Sure enough, those areas suddenly became dark and stormy.

With a crash, more than a dozen dragons were seen rising and falling, full of power. The middle of them was stirred up into a whirlpool, and black water kept pouring from the bottom up.

And above, it was as if a hole had been opened in the clouds, causing the Milky Way to pour in. Large black rain fell, pouring down as much as it wanted. There was even a faint hint of thunder in the rain, and thunderbolts flashed across the sky. It looked really scary for a moment. .

To be honest, it's okay not to think about those desires on weekdays, but when I think about them, I never have time to stop. Lu Chen himself was originally confused, confused, and really fell into the beautiful prospect he had painted. Fortunately, the terrifying scene of destruction in front of him was so shocking that he stopped the car and wiped out everything.

As soon as I stopped thinking, those scenes of darkness, turbulence, whirlpools on the ground, toppling of the sky, dragons rising and falling, thunder and lightning, all disappeared in an instant.

"Huh... It's so dangerous, but now I understand it. Just look at the sea of ​​​​mind, and you can control your mind. Don't be happy with things or sad with yourself. This is equivalent to a 'mind constant detector'. Once it exceeds the limit, You have to call the police!”

Lu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and roughly understood the situation, "But this is just a basic function. According to what the master said, what we really need to do is to kill those dragons one by one and turn them into real dragons, which is to fundamentally soothe the temper and improve Be self-restrained, neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor arrogant."

Thinking like this, I looked around, but doubts arose again, "But how vast is what I see? Just as my thoughts changed, it was only a small area, what about the other parts? I don't care about the lust, or the My mind is calm and peaceful, but they are all changing as usual. They seem to have nothing to do with me, but they appear in my meditation. Why?"

"And when the master described this skill, he only mentioned the word 'heart lake'. Was there ever any 'heart sea'?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and came to a conclusion: "... Could it be that this 'mind sea' is the 'subconscious' or 'unconscious' described in the previous life, and because of my time travel, the two souls merged, Or for some other reason, this area was actually manifested?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. After Lu Chen realized this, he suddenly felt that his brain was clearer than ever before, and a sentence emerged in his mind.

"All magical changes are self-contained...Ah, these words are..."

Lu Chen remembered that these words were originally said by Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. But what he really knew came from martial arts novels. Fu Cailin, the master of Korean martial arts, "Master Yijian", means that everyone is a deep treasure house with unlimited potential, but they are just obsessed by various obsessions. Blinded, missing the point.

And in a sense, these words are similar to the expression of the "subconscious" he is thinking about now.

"what!"

At this time, there seemed to be movement in a sea area in the distance, and it suddenly shone with golden and blue light, which was very brilliant. It flickered for a while and then returned to its original state.

Lu Chen suddenly realized, "Yes, you gave me these words. It was you who came out to explain your own words - it turns out you are me!"

These words were a flash of inspiration, and then there were more flashes of inspiration. Lu Chen turned around and looked around. Everywhere he looked was the sea, but there was also brilliant golden light everywhere. During the flash, one after another appeared in his mind. I don’t know what words were written down.

"The great hero serves the country and the people."

"People in the arena involuntarily."

"Life is really as lonely as snow..."

"Only one who can excel with love can be extremely powerful with the sword!"

"A true celebrity who is both crazy and chivalrous. He can cry and sing in style."

……

……

……

"I see... the novels I have read, the martial arts I love, the principles I believe in, the tragedies I sigh, the stories I thought I had forgotten, my ambition that was worn away by life... it turns out that I have not forgotten them, I have not forgotten them. …”

Lu Chen smiled, raised his head, then suppressed his smile and looked at the sky.

He said to himself, "Old Yang, Old Yang, I really want to call you!"

Lao Yang, Lu Chen's class teacher in middle school, once hunted Lu Chen for his martial arts novels. He famously said, "Everyone who reads martial arts novels should be a fool."

He was wrong.
