Legendary Pharmacist

On the second day after Zheng Qiu and Master Mingzong left the village, strange things happened in the village. One by one, the villagers fell down and fell asleep with their eyes closed. After sleeping for a whole day, these villagers woke up one after another.

However, the villagers seem to have forgotten what happened for nearly half a month. They only know that there is an extra patient in the village, which was picked up by Orion from the mountain.

And ten days later, under the stone wall of Cangqiu in the rotten swamp, a huge boulder was shaking slightly, and gravel and thatch kept rolling down from the side of the boulder. enter.

Struggling to crawl out of the gap, a thing lay in the swamp, covered with mud, stopped for a while, and then, in a strange way, twisted its thin limbs like bamboo poles, and climbed to the slope of Cangqiu.

Back at Fangcao Peak of Qianyunzong, Zheng Qiu ran to the Fangcao Pavilion to meet his grandfather and Yunyou, while Master Ming Zong locked himself in the Fangcao Building. For five days in a row, Master Ming Zong didn't give Zheng Qiu any lessons, so Zheng Qiu had no choice but to wander around Fangcao Peak, practicing finger folding with chopsticks.

On the sixth day, the master found Zheng Qiu and asked him to attend classes on the forty-fourth floor of Fangcao Building.

Sitting at the table with his chin resting, Zheng Qiu waited for the master to start the lecture, but the master did not speak, but just threw him a booklet. It is said to be a booklet, but it is actually a large stack of white paper, but a hole is pierced in the upper left corner of the white paper, and it is tied together with a rope.

Zheng Qiu flipped through the booklet, and found that the words and sentences in it were scribbled and changed, as if they were typed drafts.

Zheng Qiu looked at it over and over again, but he couldn't understand it, so he had to ask his master: "Master, what is this writing? It's a bit like a martial art, but it doesn't look like it. I don't understand it."

"Ahem." Master Ming Zong cleared his throat and replied, "This needs to start with the wood spirit on your body, and you will understand after you finish."

"What is a wood spirit?"

"Apprentice, do you still remember the hundreds of chrysanthemums I asked you to plant?"

"remember."

"That's where we start..."

Master Ming Zong talked about the stone tablet of Wentian Pavilion from chrysanthemum and grass, and then from the stone tablet of Wentian Pavilion to the cave in the rotten swamp, and then from the spiritual roulette in the cave to Zhenjiu.

Zheng Qiu was taken aback for a while after he said some words.

He rubbed his stomach, looked down, and found it unbelievable: "Master, you mean, there is something called a wood spirit in my body?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is a kind of power, not a thing."

Master Ming Zong pointed to the booklet in Zheng Qiu's hand, and continued: "According to my last investigation, the wood spirit in your body should have been awakened. The first thing written here is the improved one, the man with the air tire Practice method, you try to practice it again."

Under the guidance of his master, Zheng Qiu followed the steps in the booklet and started his first practice.

If you want to cultivate, you must first have a good root, because to enter the realm of air tires, it is inseparable from a good root.

The so-called air tire is actually to develop the first trace of Qi in the meridians. This first trace of Qi determines the type of exercises suitable for the practitioner, and also determines the direction of future cultivation.

To cultivate the first trace of energy in the empty meridians, this is a process from scratch, and the difficulty is quite huge. After thousands of years of research, countless capable and wise men in Yunxiu Continent have figured out the three key points of getting into pneumatic tires.

Roots, external stimuli, and talent.

A good root bone represents a good meridian and body, which is the seedbed for the birth of energy. External stimuli refer to the methods of cultivation and the medicines taken.

As for the third talent, it is entirely a matter of luck. There will always be people who do nothing and get into a flat tire inexplicably after sleeping. Therefore, the cultivation of Yunxiu into a pneumatic tire starts with the first two key points.

Nowadays, each major sect has its own formula to improve the root bone, and also has special external stimulation methods, such as taking powerful pills to promote formation, meditation to regulate breathing,

Exercising the physical body is stimulated by fatigue, and so on in a variety of ways.

The external stimulation method of Qianyun School is a way of regulating breathing through meditation.

However, Master Ming Zong believes that the manifestations of wood spirits in the meridians are very similar to qi energy, so the meridians and the physical body cannot be used as a seedbed for cultivating qi energy to cultivate new qi energy, but the wood spirit should be regarded as the one that has been cultivated. Energetic, to be cultivated and strengthened.

Therefore, the first step Master Ming Zong asked Zheng Qiu to do was to sit quietly with his eyes closed, and find out the wood spirit in his body.

"If you meditate without self, you will not know the world... If you meditate without self, you will not know the world..." Zheng Qiu recited the formulas written in the booklet to help him enter the state of introspection.

Entering the state of introspection requires the practitioner to calm down completely and block the perception of the outside world. Only in this state can the practitioner see the situation inside the body. Of course, looking here is not really seeing with the eyes, but a picture imagined in the mind of the cultivator through the body.

After an hour and a half of meditation, Zheng Qiu finally entered the state of introspection, and he saw the meridians in his body for the first time.

It was a series of criss-crossing pipes, leading to all parts of the body. The color of the pipes could not be seen clearly, it was very blurry, but it existed clearly in Zheng Qiu's perception.

He remembered what the master said, to find the "wood spirit", so he moved his eyes and searched inch by inch along the meridians. When he found the position on his chest, he saw a wisp of light green mist floating in the meridian pipe in a spiral shape.

Zheng Qiu didn't know why it was light green, but when he looked inside his body, he could only see a blurred outline of gray and black. But that wisp of mist gave him a definite feeling, an instinctive feeling, that it should be light green.

Zheng Qiu wasn't sure if this wisp of mist was the "wood spirit" that his master said, so he searched for other meridians again, but there was nothing, the meridians were empty, only the chest was covered with mist. Then this wisp of mist should be the "wood spirit" that the master said.

Now that the "wood spirit" has been found, the next step is to capture it.

Zheng Qiu's eyes slowly moved towards the mist, and just when he felt that he was about to touch it, the mist seemed to be disturbed. It twisted left and right, stretched from a spiral to straighten, flew away from its original position, and flew far away along the meridians.

Zheng Qiu hurriedly followed, trying to move his eyes to prevent the mist from running away. But the mist flew very fast, and the intricate meridians seemed to be its home, and he was familiar with the road everywhere. After turning more than a dozen turns in a row, the mist completely disappeared from Zheng Qiu's sight.

Outside, Master Mingzong carefully observed his apprentice's physical condition. After Zheng Qiu entered the state of introspection, about three hours later, his body suddenly shook.

The shaking only lasted for a short time before stopping, and then Zheng Qiu broke away from the state of introspection.

He opened his eyes and told the master in frustration: "Master, it is running too fast, I can't catch it!"
