Popular science says oxygen is poisonous, and the whole internet scolds me for being sick

Chapter 404 One day at a time

Gautama finally found the hermit in front of him.

"Teacher, I have a question that I don't understand." Gautama began to ask Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen knew what impact the person in front of him would have on the world in the future.

"Ask." Ye Zhen sat in the cave.

The surrounding environment is also very barren and does not look like a place where people live.

"Teacher, I grew up in the palace since I was a child."

"I was originally a prince."

"I have never seen the place outside this city wall."

"The only scene outside this high wall I have seen four times since I was a child."

"The first time is a newborn baby, so innocent and innocent."

"The second time I saw it was an old man walking slowly."

"The third time I saw a patient who came to see a doctor and was suffering from a disease."

"The last time I saw a dead man, that was the first time I saw a dead man."

It was precisely because of these four experiences that Gautama felt that the life within this wall was not what he wanted.

Because he was of noble birth, it can be said that he was born with a golden key in his mouth.

His father is a king and his mother is a daughter of another kingdom.

Legend has it that he had a vision when he was born.

Born to be extraordinary, Gautama's father also thought so.

But after growing up and seeing the world outside the wall four different times.

Different ideas gradually came to his mind.

He wants to get out.

After going out, Gautama discovered that the world was so vast.

He had also seen a lot, but seeing so many people could not resolve the confusion in his mind.

Gautama was in too much pain.

After several inquiries, I found the master who was hiding here, who is now Ye Zhen.

He wanted to take Ye Zhen as his teacher and see if Ye Zhen could help him solve his doubts.

Ye Zhen just said softly: "What you see are exactly the four stages that everyone must go through in life."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death."

Birth, old age, illness and death? Gautama muttered silently, as if he knew something and yet he seemed to understand nothing.

"Teacher, how can we escape from this sea of ​​suffering?" Gautama still didn't understand.

Although Gautama looked skinny, the energy in his eyes could not be concealed.

This was a very popular ascetic practice in ancient India.

Even in modern times, this practice method is very popular.

They deliberately allow themselves to experience all the suffering in the world.

Because such penance was the only path available at that time.

Gautama himself practiced this.

Gautama was born with endless enjoyment of wealth and wealth.

But in order to answer the confusion in my mind and let myself feel at peace.

Gautama resolutely became a monk and went to the outside world to practice asceticism.

Just to find an answer.

Ye Zhen smiled, "The body is the capital of revolution."

"If my health is not good, nothing can be done."

"So you have to start changing your body."

Gautama was stunned. This was the first time someone said this.

Because all the masters nowadays practice ascetic meditation and are proud of enduring hardship.

Let your body suffer all the pain.

But Ye Zhen told him that he needed to take good care of his body?

Isn't this the same as when he was in the palace before?

Then why did he come here all the way?

Ye Zhen saw through what Gautama was thinking at a glance, "I'm not letting you have fun."

"But let you exercise your body and make yourself strong."

“This will allow you to go further.”

Gautama suddenly understood, "Is that so?"

"Like some yoga or something like that?"

Nowadays, their main method of physical training is yoga.

Ye Zhen knew that this yoga was the most suitable method for them.

It just so happened that Ye Zhen had just obtained the cultivation methods of the three chakras and seven chakras from those Asans not long ago.

For Ye Zhen now, it can be said that one method can apply to all methods.

For him, he could get a rough idea of ​​these three chakras and seven chakras just by looking at them.

"Now I will teach you the cultivation method of three meridians and seven chakras." Ye Zhen modified the original method of three chakras and seven chakras.

Gautama listened carefully to Ye Zhen's explanation.

Soon Ye Zhen handed over the cultivation methods of these three chakras and seven chakras to Gautama.

Gautama felt as if he had found a treasure, and excitedly kowtowed to Ye Zhen several times, "Thank you, Master, for all your teachings and guidance."

How could Gautama not know the supreme secret method of practicing the three chakras and seven chakras taught to him by Ye Zhen?

Anyway, even based on his experience as a prince back then.

Such a yoga practice method is unheard of.

Gautama knew that this cultivation method directly pointed to the great road.

This cultivation method alone is enough to benefit him for life.

Gautama also knew that he had not found the wrong person this time.

Because what was popular in the world before was to make yourself suffer.

He suffered endless hardships, deprived himself of food, drink, sleep, and suffered all kinds of torture.

Use this method to seek the truth.

This is also the only way Gautama can make contact.

Of course Gautama, who was already well-off and well-off, had never experienced such hardship.

But he still persisted.

So the Gautama Ye Zhen sees now is skinny.

However, such penance did not resolve Gautama's doubts.

But he was still able to persist.

Until now I met Ye Zhen.

"Only a healthy body can better carry out activities and find the truth." Ye Zhen directly told Gautama this truth.

Gautama suddenly understood.

"No wonder I have been practicing hard and trying all kinds of methods to endure hardship, but I haven't gotten any results."

This is what everyone does, how they practice hard and gain enlightenment.

Naturally, Gautama did the same thing and was more able to endure hardships than ordinary people. The purpose is to find the truth and relieve the doubts in your heart.

However, since the beginning of the penance, the doubts in Gautama's heart have not diminished but increased.

Until now, Ye Zhen figured out the key.

"This hard training has no effect at all." Ye Zhen said directly: "You must persist in practicing the methods I teach you."

Gautama nodded, "Follow your teacher's instructions."

But that's just the physical aspect.

What about thinking?

Gautama's understanding can be said to be very high.

What Ye Zhen taught him, he learned in less than a day.

After learning the cultivation methods of the three chakras and seven chakras.

Gautama had already opened the Sushumna channel on the first day and started the first round.

This surprised Gautama. This was the first time he had ever felt like this.

"Teacher is indeed a god." Gautama felt the changes in his body.

Little did he know that Ye Zhen was even more surprised.

Although the cultivation method of these three chakras and seven chakras has a low threshold and has been improved by myself.

It is even easier to get started.

But Gautama actually opened up the central channel in less than a day and opened the first round.

The speed of this cultivation is simply shocking.

Ye Zhen suspected that his pineal gland had been turned on when he was born.

Ye Zhen thought about the records in history about when he was born.

What a step leads to a lotus.

Pointing one finger to the ground and the other to the sky, he said the words "I am the only one in heaven and earth".

Now it seems that all this may not be groundless.

Gautama walked over happily, "Teacher, I have already started the first round."

Ye Zhen just nodded indifferently, "Don't be proud, you still have a long way to go in the future."

Gautama said humbly: "Yes, Teacher."

Ever since I learned how to exercise and make myself strong.

Gautama made sure he had enough to eat and drink every day, and he continued to practice every day.

But before that, Gautama also had several pursuers.

Because in ancient India, only those with great perseverance and piety could achieve this asceticism.

Such ascetics often have seekers who follow the ascetics in pursuit of the truth.

Although Gautama was born a prince, he was pampered in his early years.

But when it comes to practicing hard, he is more ruthless than others.

So Gautama himself also had followers.

But when Gautama's followers saw Gautama, he actually started to take a bath.

Wash off all the dirt and dust from your body, and start eating like a normal person.

His followers began to crumble.

"Sir, how could you do this!"

"Have you given up your ascetic practice?"

"I really misjudged you. You actually gave up on the truth and the avenue."

"It's a waste that I followed you for so long, you actually gave up like this!"

"No! Why are you doing this! Brahma will curse you!"

These followers felt that the sky was falling.

Gautama explained to these followers: "Physical pain cannot help me understand the truth."

"The body is the capital of revolution." Gautama stole these words directly from Ye Zhen.

But these followers simply do not have Gautama's ability to comprehend.

Of course they didn't understand, they just felt that Gautama had given up on pursuing the truth.

These people left angrily and no longer followed Gautama.

If it were the past, Gautama might not understand.

But now after meeting Ye Zhen, Gautama felt that Ye Zhen was the real master.

During these three days, Gautama practiced whenever he had time.

And he started eating and drinking normally.

The body recovered quickly.

And it was one realm a day, directly breaking through to the third round.

This speed of cultivation made Ye Zhen feel abnormal.

Generally speaking, the speed of cultivation in the future will be slower than that in the past. This is common sense.

But this common sense did not apply to Gautama.

It's almost one chakra per day, and it's already the third chakra in three days.

Gautama is no longer the scrawny appearance he was three days ago.

Gautama also understood that the previous six years were wasted.

"Six years of hard training turned out to be a waste of time." Gautama smiled.

Ye Zhen heard Gautama's words from the sidelines.

"What you said is wrong." Ye Zhen shook his head.

Gautama didn't understand, "Teacher, didn't you say that this ascetic practice is useless?"

Ye Zhen explained: "This hard training is indeed useless, but it tempers your will."

"It also helps you eliminate a wrong path and lets you know that this path will not work."

Gautama realized, "So that's it."

It's not scary to go the wrong way. What's scary is not knowing you're going the wrong way.

Although six years were wasted in penance, these six years allowed Gautama to eliminate a wrong path.

It's still very worthwhile.

But Gautama still has not found a way out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Still can't get rid of the doubts in my heart.

And this is more doubts than I had before doing penance.

In fact, only after eating and drinking enough can people have the energy and time to think about other things.

Just like mathematics, music, art and philosophy.

Only after you have eaten and drank enough will you do such a thing.

Otherwise, how could you have the energy to think about other things if you haven’t eaten your last meal?

This is why Gautama had such doubts in his mind at first.

Because he was originally a prince and had no worries about food and drink, he had mental doubts.

It was because of sufficient material conditions that Gautama had higher spiritual pursuits.
