Chapter 6 It’s time to practice
The sunset has dispersed, the night has risen slightly, and the cold moon is like a hook.
After Chu Yi finished his conversation with layman Pinghu, he sat in the yard and pondered the authenticity of spiritual practice. By now, he had become seventy percent convinced.
It's just that the spiritual practice he is currently exposed to is not as magical as he originally thought. It is probably to maintain good health and practice martial arts, and he will be healthy and live a hundred years. There may be people with strong skills who can fly over eaves, walk over walls, and break bricks with their palms, but those are all.
Within the range that ordinary people can accept, as for those magical powers and spells that soar in the clouds, ride in the mist, move mountains and fill the sea, they are probably all imagined by the ancients...
Um...maybe...
Thinking of this, Chu Yihu stood up, stretched, looked up at the crescent moon on the horizon, and murmured: "Well, Gu Zezhi is right, daydreams are useless, practice first and then talk."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard another message from my phone. When I opened it, it turned out that it was Gu Zezhi who had sent me the training method of tiger shape and bear shape. The text was detailed and easy to understand, making it very suitable for beginners to start practicing.
Seeing this, Chu Yi smiled and said: "I came just in time. I have nothing to do tonight, so I just want to practice my martial arts."
After saying that, he took out the wooden tablet recording the seven postures of the bear form from the wooden box and practiced according to the diagram.
The bear shape governs the spleen, and the five elements belong to earth, which is related to the inside and outside of the stomach. It combines with the flesh in the body, and the earth nature is in the middle. It can harmonize the internal organs, move the five elements, and sort out the qi...
"Practitioners should know that this exercise aims to work from the outside in, seeking tranquility while moving. Although the body moves, the mind remains calm, although the energy moves, the spirit remains peaceful... Although I cannot achieve the goal of seeing the emptiness of my mind,
state, but I can do it and only think about one thing, that is to practice! The first pose of bear pose, bear support pose, raise your hands in the sky and stand on the ground, tighten your whole body, put your toes slightly, fall together, and breathe out
,Hehehehehehe..."
Under the clear light of the cold moon, the young figure began to move around in the small courtyard. His movements gradually changed from clumsy and jerky to smooth and skillful. In his many years of sculpting career, he had already learned how to be steady, steady, and calm at the same time.
Geometry?
If the mind is as steady as a mountain, focused on one thing, and the mind and object are united, one can gradually enter a state of selflessness; only by being calm and aware of the body can one be able to feel Qi in the dark.
Although I can't find the sense of Qi now, under the stimulation of the changes in breathing and exhalation movements, the long-hidden Qi in the body has begun to gradually wake up, and the changes in the atmosphere in the body are like the eyes of a blue dragon...<
/p>
In ancient times, there was a painter who painted a dragon on a wall and clicked its eyes. The dragon came alive, burst out of the wall, and soared into the sky!
......
By the time Chu Yi had practiced the seven bear poses a hundred times, it was already late at night.
The winter night was cold and the north wind was howling, but he didn't feel cold at all. Instead, his whole body was steaming with heat and sweating, as if he had gone through a long-distance running race, but his physical strength was not consumed too much, and even his breathing seemed a little too steady.
However, Chu Yi knows that sweating too much at night in winter is not necessarily a good thing, especially when he does not have a water heater at home. If he cannot take a hot bath in time, he may be exposed to the wind and cold, and end up with a cold, fever, and diarrhea.
If the nasal discharge is severe, it is not impossible to have a stroke and hemiplegia...
No, not long after he stopped, Chu Yi felt that the body temperature was rapidly draining, his clothes were wet and cold, and a chill rushed down his spine and into the back of his head. He shivered from the cold, and then hurriedly got into the kitchen.
, immediately stuffed a few dry firewood into the earthen stove to light a fire for warmth, and also heated a large pot of hot water.
In a poor family, bathing is a troublesome thing.
To be honest, after these years of development, Yuezhou is no longer as poor as it was in the past. The prosperity and bright lights of Ningbo City have already entered the ranks of new first-tier cities. Even in remote rural areas, most households
I also built a small villa early and moved into a small bungalow. Its interior decoration is neat and beautiful, which is not much better than the buildings in the city. The living standards of the residents have soared. It is rare for people as poor as the Chu family to be.
.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Who is calling the old Chu family unlucky!
Although the ancestors of the Chu family ran a medical clinic and may have had some financial resources at the time, the incident happened suddenly and the great-grandmother and her grandfather, who was still a child, fled back to the old house for refuge in a hurry, so they did not bring much money with them...
.
Grandpa once said that it was my great-grandmother who sold all the trousseau jewelry she was wearing, and she managed to get through the most difficult days.
Later, after liberation, the family was allocated a few pieces of thin farmland, and life got a little better. However, my great-grandmother left early because of overwork...
However, I heard from my grandfather that the ancestors of the old Chu family had been practicing medicine for generations. Although they had a little reputation, they did not have any high-ranking officials. However, my great-grandmother was the daughter of a wealthy family in Wuyue.
Exquisite medical skills cured Grandma's grandfather, and the two families formed a good friendship, which led to the marriage between Grandpa and Grandma.
It was really difficult for her to let such a clean-blooded lady take care of things in the farmhouse. However, if my great-grandmother had taken her grandfather back, she would have brought disaster to her parents' family. Precisely because she understood this,
That's why the great-grandmother would rather choose to go back to the Chu family's old house and raise her children alone with painstaking efforts.
Later, my grandfather, who was in his thirties but could not find a wife because his family was poor, met his grandmother who was also a refugee under the introduction of the village. After the two got married, they had a daughter, and the family was finally managed by her grandmother.
I lived a stable life, and my situation gradually improved... But fate played a trick on me, and not long after, my grandma also passed away.
The tragedy of fate seems to be happening again. This time it is the grandfather who has gone through all kinds of hardships to raise his daughter.
At the end of the story, the daughter who was three months pregnant dropped out of school and returned home. She endured the strange looks from others and still stubbornly gave birth to the child. However, she also contracted the root cause of the disease. Even though her grandfather had been taking good care of her, she could not recover.
After suffering from illness for several years, he passed away quietly one night.
That year, Chu Yi was seven years old.
After many twists and turns, the Chu family seems to have returned to the most difficult years. After the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, Grandpa seemed to have grown old overnight, but he still managed to hold on to the Chu family.
Raised.
But people eventually live long. When Chu Yi was fifteen years old, his grandfather passed away while basking in the sun in his yard.
That year, Chu Yi became an orphan and had no relatives.
Later, with the help of his village neighbors, he was able to continue his studies and was successfully admitted to a local college. However, an unexpected incident completely ruined his studies... In desperation,
They can only enter the society and work in the city to make a living.
Finally, on a snowy night, Chu Yi, who was hungry and cold, met his master. Although he was still poor in the following days, under the care of his master, he could still have enough food and clothing. The master and apprentice occasionally took on a big job, and he
You can also share some pocket money.
However, Master really likes to drink. He always misses work because of drinking. The originally given construction period is generous enough, but he always delays a lot of time because he is drunk. Almost every time at the end of the construction period, Master and Disciple 2
Everyone has to work overtime day and night to catch up on work; but the strange thing is that even so, there has never been a delay, so it has an excellent reputation in the industry...
Perhaps because of this, people in the industry gave Master the nickname of a drunkard. However, according to the older generation, Master actually had the nickname "Drunk and Carving a Dragon", and he once worked with seven other folk craftsmen.
Collectively known as the "Eight Southeast Asian Monsters", this happened many years ago...
Chu Yi originally thought that such days would last for a long time, but a few years later, his master also passed away, leaving behind a set of carving tools and an old Qiling Red Star van...
......
When Chu Yi came back from his thoughts, the water vapor in the pot was already boiling, and bubbles were popping up.
Seeing this, Chu Yi quickly found a ladle, scooped all the boiling water into the bucket, then mixed some cold well water into the boiling water, stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, it was just slightly hot, and then carried the bucket in
The east wing was also his original residence.
After closing the doors and windows tightly and putting down the plastic curtains, Chu Yi quickly took off his clothes and got inside. He wiped his body with a towel dipped in hot water several times and then finished washing.
Although it is located in the southeast where summer is hot, the temperature in winter is far less low than in the north, but the humidity and cold are quite severe. If we don't hurry up, we may really catch wind and cold. In poor families, bathing is really a troublesome thing.
After putting on a set of dry clothes, Chu Yi got into bed. After working hard for so long today, he was already exhausted physically and mentally. As soon as he touched the pillow, his consciousness sank.
The long night was long and the countryside was quiet. When Chu Yi was sleeping in a daze, he seemed to have had a dream. Half asleep and half awake, he felt that his body seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, and he felt like he was floating in the air.
Wandering dragon, straight up to the nine heavens.
As he flew higher and higher, in a daze, he saw a layer of clouds and mist above his head, wrapped in a hazy moon hanging high in the sky.
Chu Yi stretched out his hand, trying to push away the clouds and mist to see the bright moon, but no matter how hard he tried to tease it, it was still out of reach, just like a stubborn monkey fishing for the moon, only to increase its smile.
With no choice, he could only stare at the full moon in a daze. After staring for a long time, he felt that the moon seemed more and more like someone's eyes... Yes, he had seen it once not long ago.
, those are a pair of eyes as bright as the stars and the moon.
The quick glance at that moment is still fresh in my memory...
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a cry that resounded through the sky. Chu Yi felt his heart startled, his eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly woke up. He looked around and realized that he had just woken up from his dream.
At this time, the east is beginning to look white, and it is already dawn...
