The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 11 Practice is Difficult

She has been in this world for more than ten years and has already understood that the strong are respected, strength is supreme, and the weak will only be bullied.

Therefore, you must practice to strengthen your body.

Without strength, you can only be at the mercy of others. If you don't become a monk, you can only obey fate and eventually turn into a handful of loess.

As the ancients said: "The so-called practice is nothing more than changing one's destiny against nature."

Mortals go down along the path, inherit the innate Qi with their father's essence and mother's blood, and build it into an elixir. This is the person's elixir field.

Human beings form a small world of their own, containing endless universe, and the Dantian in it is the source of all things.

Cultivation of immortals is to go backwards, hoping to live as long as Heaven, but Heaven does not allow it, so there are thunder and disasters accompanying oneself, hoping to prevent mortals from changing their lives against Heaven.

Generally speaking, a person's life from birth to death is determined by destiny. The way of heaven is clear and balances all things. Therefore, life has a beginning and an end, accompanied by the cycle of cause and effect.

But greed is the nature of all things. Since there is life, there is no need to die. From this point of view, it is unfair, so I have the idea of ​​cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal and living as long as heaven.

All things in the world have their origins, and when a person opens his Dantian, he is destined to have a destiny with the destiny. The great road is fifty, the heaven is forty-nine, and the person escapes one of them.

If you want to practice cultivation, one of them is consecration.

The so-called consecration is to introduce Qi into the body and open up the shackles of Dantian.

Immediately, the Dantian can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. People can mobilize the spiritual energy in the Dantian to help themselves open up the meridians, allowing the spiritual energy to circulate in the meridians all day long, constantly cleansing the marrow of the body, strengthening the bones and body, hammering the body, and breaking through the shackles of life span.

This is Qi training!
"Everyone knows the art of breath regulation. It requires nothing more than thin, long, and even breathing, and gradually reaches the fetal breath to induce Qi."

"But it's such an easy thing, but it stumps countless people. After all, it's because of the lack of spiritual root qualifications that the progress is slow."

Gu Nian put down the Qi-Entraining Technique in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

Others have already introduced Qi into their bodies in half a month, but she has not seen any movement for nearly three months. The phrase "spiritual root natural chasm" is not as good as it seems.

"Still can't give up!"

She stood up and came to the window, looking at the red sun rising over the mountains. Her eyes were firm. She must set foot on the road to immortality.

At this moment, the sound of lots of water suddenly came from outside.

"Junior sister, Elder Zhao asked us to go to the main hall now. There seems to be something to notify."

"it is good!"

When the two came to the main hall, they saw Mr. Zhao sitting at the table, drinking freshly brewed hot tea.

Seeing the two people coming in, he put down his tea cup and said slowly: "March is here, and today is the assessment period. You two will follow me to the medicine garden."

"Yes!"

The two of them looked solemn and quickly followed Elder Zhao to the medicine garden.

I saw him pointing at a medicinal herb at random and asked: "What is the name of this medicine and what does it do? Duoshui, please answer it."

Duo Shui thought about it for a moment and then said: "Back to Mr. Zhao, this is Xue Qianzi, which belongs to Yang. It ripens once every three years and has the effect of nourishing blood and increasing Qi."

Mr. Zhao nodded, continued to walk forward, pointed to one of the herbs and asked, "What is this and what is its function? Gu Nian, you answer."

"Back to Mr. Zhao, this medicinal herb is called mountain monkey grass. It belongs to the shade. It blooms once a year and ripens only once every ten years. It has the effect of refreshing people. It has five leaves, green on the outside and red on the inside. It can be dried and soaked in warm water. Come and drink, it will be good for you." Gu Nian blurted out.

Hearing this, Mr. Zhao was quite satisfied.

"What about this one?" "This is the yellow phoenix flower, which belongs to Yin. The pollen matures once every three years and can be used as medicine..."

Afterwards, Mr. Zhao asked about many medicinal herbs, but Gu Nian had no problem and could basically blurt out the answers.

In three months, she had memorized every word of that book. As for a lot of water, if you encounter a simple question, you can still answer one or two after a little thinking, but if you encounter a more difficult question, you will hesitate for a long time and can't say a word.

Mr. Zhao didn't pay much attention. He also knew that many people were illiterate and it was not easy to answer some questions.

Mo Yue recognized dozens of medicinal herbs, and Zhao Lao took the two of them back to the alchemy room.

"I can see that your homework has not fallen behind. You just need to study harder and identify all the herbs as soon as possible. It is still early today, so I will teach you how to make elixirs first."

"You are the medicine boys of the Rejuvenation Valley, and you also need to learn one or two simple elixir refining methods so as not to disgrace me in the Rejuvenation Valley."

Both of them were a little excited. After all, alchemy was Mr. Zhao's unique secret method, and he was the only one in the entire Taiyue Sect who could be said to be proficient in alchemy.

The alchemy room has been cleaned by Gu Nian.

Mr. Zhao took out two wooden barrels and handed them to the two of them respectively: "Alchemy is a process that is endlessly wonderful. I have spent half my life in vain, but I have only scratched the surface, and in the end I have not understood its profound meaning."

"Various medicinal herbs may produce different medicinal effects when mixed in different proportions, so the dosage of medicinal herbs must be accurate, and the pharmaceutical process must be careful and not sloppy."

"The "Hundreds of Herbs" given to you is only the tip of the iceberg of the vast world, but it is enough to benefit both of you for a lifetime."

"But medicine is three parts poisonous, so before making an elixir, one thing is needed, and that is "Yang Earth" and "Yin Earth"."

Gu Nian grasped the key words, frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what is Yang soil and what is Yin soil?"

"The so-called Yang soil has been reflected by the purple air for thousands of years. As for the Yin soil, the shadow falls in it. The harmony of the two, one Yin and one Yang, can remove the toxins in the medicinal herbs."

Mr. Zhao chuckled and led the two of them out of the alchemy room and walked outside the Valley of Rejuvenation.

"The Valley of Rejuvenation is remote, and these two types of soil are not available, but there is a sharp mountain outside the valley with nothing on all sides. It is illuminated by the sun and moon all year round, forming this yin and yang soil. This is why I want to live in the Valley of Rejuvenation. "

The three of them soon arrived outside the valley and walked a few hundred meters westward. The terrain gradually became flat and wide. After a while, they saw a sharp mountain with a height of several hundred feet standing in the center of the plain.

Arriving at the east side of Jianshan Mountain, Mr. Zhao suddenly raised his hand. Unexpectedly, a thin long sword appeared in his hand. Clear light burst out from the sword. He merged his two fingers and suddenly pointed forward.

boom! ! !
The long, thin sword instantly pierced the mountain, exploding rocks, earth and wood flying everywhere, and the ground trembled slightly.

Gu Nian and Duo Shui's eyes widened for a moment, their hearts were so shocked that their hearts stagnated for a moment.

This is the monk!
But while talking and laughing, breaking up mountains and rivers is as simple as drinking water and eating. No wonder so many people yearn for the road to immortality!

The two looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

After the dust dispersed, Mr. Zhao said to Gu Nian: "Under the rock formation is the Yang Earth. You need to take the upper half of the bucket and bring it back to the alchemy room later. If you have more water, come with me."

With that said, he led a lot of water towards the land of Shanyin.

Gu Nian didn't dare to delay, so she took the wooden bucket and started filling it with soil. But as soon as she held two handfuls in her hands, she heard a loud noise from behind the mountain, which startled her.

By the time she finished loading the soil, Lotus Water had already returned with the bucket filled with soil, which was extremely easy.

Gu Nian couldn't help but clicked her tongue. It's good to be strong, it makes doing things much easier.

By the time the three of them returned to the alchemy room, a lot of time had already been spent.
