Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…

The law of competition is survival of the fittest.

Only by constantly stepping out of your comfortable living environment can you become stronger and more resilient.

Various physical training methods are designed to simulate extreme environments and induce physical evolution to make it stronger.

Inspired by Yu Liang, Huang Yaoshi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and his profound martial arts foundation began to erupt continuously, and a new martial arts concept gradually formed in his mind.

While he was constantly thinking about it in his mind, he was also explaining his thoughts to Yu Liang.

Learn the essence of "Heisha Gong" and skillfully integrate Taoist ideas of "governing by doing nothing" and "Tao follows nature" into it.

Practicing in a simulated extreme fire environment, using breathing and body techniques to guide the blood and qi in the body to surge like flames, can not only strengthen the physical body, but also achieve the miraculous effect of cleansing marrow and cutting bones.

However, in the process of cultivation, one needs to maintain inner peace and detachment.

This is exactly the realm of "inaction" admired by Taoists - maintaining inner purity and peace in a chaotic world, allowing the physical body to evolve naturally.

After hearing this, Yu Liang nodded repeatedly and secretly asked Huang Yaoshi to study "Black Evil Gong" together. It was indeed a wise choice.

However, to turn this idea into reality and create a complete set of exercises, their existing knowledge reserves alone are obviously not enough.

They need to study Taoist knowledge more deeply in order to inject a deeper foundation into this set of exercises.

Although Yu Liang has dabbled in Taoist theory, he actually doesn't know much. Although Huang Yaoshi has extensive knowledge, he is still far from being a true Taoist master.

"Master, I think we should go to Lin'an!"

After hearing Yu Liang's words, Huang Yaoshi immediately understood what he meant.

"You mean to read the Daozang hidden in the Ouchi Palace!"

"Yeah!" Yu Liang nodded. It's so convenient to chat with smart people. You don't have to say something clearly, the other person will understand it.

Huang Yaoshi stood up and looked up in the direction of Lin'an.

"Back then, Huang Shang was just a scholar, but after reading the Taoist canon, he had an epiphany and created the "Nine Yin Manual", a wonderful book on martial arts."

"Now, I, Huang Yaoshi, will not lose to him and will create a martial arts that is even better than the Nine Yin Manual!"

immediately.

Yu Liang went to Lin'an with Huang Yaoshi and Li Mochou.

Although Lin'an City in the Song Dynasty was a naturally formed capital with an asymmetrical layout, its city planning still followed certain rules and was quite impressive.

The streets and rivers in the city are all in order. Nine compartments and more than eighty squares are arranged in an orderly manner between the grid of streets and rivers.

The Imperial Palace of the Song Dynasty is located at the southern end of the city, close to the foothills of Fenghuang Mountain. The eastern foothills are where the palace is located, and to the north are important official offices such as the three provinces, six ministries, and the Privy Council.

The three Yu Liang people who came to Lin'an City first found a place to stay.

Night falls.

The lights in the palace gradually dimmed.

Yu Liang and Huang Yaoshi sneaked into the deep palace like ghosts.

After finding the library, Yu Liang was surprised to find that there was no one here, not even a shadow of a guard. This made it easier for them to move.

Easily climbing in from the second floor window, their eyes were immediately attracted by the collection of books all over the floor.

Yu Liang casually pulled out a book, only to find that it was covered with dust. Apparently no one had read it for a long time.

This scene made Yu Liangzhong sigh that the royal family of the Song Dynasty was really in a desperate situation. They indulged in eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and were so indifferent to the country's culture and wisdom treasure house. How could they survive?

Sighing, Yu Liang has not forgotten the purpose of his trip. I picked up a few volumes of scriptures, leaned on the window sill, and began to read slowly under the bright moonlight.

On the other side, Huang Yaoshi, like Yu Liang, found a Taoist canon and started reading it.

Some Taoist texts in the Taoist Scriptures are quite interesting.

These characters are composed of multiple glyphs.

The meaning of these spliced ​​words is precisely described by the individual words and sentences that make up it.

For example, on the left side is the word "body" and on the right side is the word "Dan".

The combination of the two words "body" and "dan" means: body pill is a furnace!

There is a word 'C' on the top and a word 'fire' on the bottom.

The combination of the two characters ‘bing’ and ‘fire’ means: Bing fire means burning.

The precious treasure of the body is jade; the water of one's own family is medicine; the mind of human beings is the dharma; until one becomes a cultivator...

Therefore, a short line of words in the Taoist Scriptures contains the meaning it wants to express, but it is a scripture.

…

In the dead of night, Yu Liang felt a little hungry.

"Master, do you want something to eat?"

Huang Yaoshi was looking at the book in his hand intently and shook his head slightly.

Seeing the master's reaction, Yu Liang smiled softly, turned around and left the library, quietly entered the imperial kitchen, took some food, and returned to the library to continue reading.

…

There are so many books in the library.

Yu Liang spent two years and only read a small part of it.

But even so, he and Huang Yaoshi jointly created a brand new skill: "Tao Fire Body Training Technique".

Only when you are trapped in purgatory can you plant golden lotus in the fire.

In Lin'an City, in a courtyard.

Huang Yaoshi held the "Tao Fire Body Training Technique" that he had just compiled.

Due to the far-reaching intention and difficult practice of this technique, even the creator himself had doubts about whether it could be successfully practiced.

"Master, why do you want to do that? You will know if you can succeed in cultivation if you try it!"

Yu Liang strolled into the practice room that had been renovated.

As soon as the door opened, a scorching heat wave rushed towards his face instantly, as if it was about to swallow him whole.

In the center of the practice room, a stove was burning, and the firelight reflected on the walls, forming dancing spots of light.

However, Yu Liang did not approach the stove directly. Instead, he chose a relatively low-temperature corner of the practice room and prepared to start his practice.

Yu Liang took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. As he adjusted his breathing, his body movements gradually began to unfold.

Every breath and movement, every change of movement, seems to be having some kind of mysterious communication with the surrounding environment.

In the process of transporting qi and blood in the body, Yu Liang gradually felt wisps of fire constantly integrating into his body. With the flow of qi and blood, these fires seemed to shuttle through his meridians, giving him an unprecedented feeling.

This is the first stage of the "Tao Fire Body Training Technique": introducing fire into the body.

The so-called "drawing fire into the body" does not literally mean directly absorbing the hot energy of the flame.

Instead, by being in a hot environment, the qi and blood in the body are infected by the environment, so that it has properties similar to that of fire, that is, it produces the same fluctuations as fire energy.

When the fluctuations of qi and blood are the same as those of fire, qi and blood will have the same yang attribute as flames, showing extremely strong destructive power against all cold and cold things.

In order to achieve this goal, Yu Liang constantly adjusted the frequency of his movements, breathing, and blood transport, trying to find the fluctuation frequency that matched the hot fire in the practice room.

This process reminded Yu Liang of his experience practicing "fish swimming skills" in the lake.

At that time, he needed to completely integrate his body with the water flow, feel the feeling of resonance with the water flow, and mobilize the power of the water flow with every move.

Now, he also needs to imagine this hot practice room as a hot body of water and let his body resonate with this "water body".

Time passed little by little, and Yu Liang was completely immersed in practice.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, he felt that the energy and blood in his body reached a wonderfully harmonious state with the fluctuations of fire energy in the practice room.

A wonderful change quietly occurred in Yu Liang's body.

His energy and blood seemed to be infused with the essence of the flame, acquiring the same yang attribute as the flame.

This change in attributes made his blood flow like a burning flame.

Yu Liang clearly felt this change. When the qi and blood in his body were circulating, it was like fire rushing through the meridians, making him full of strength.

"It's done!"

Yu Liang murmured to himself, with a satisfied smile on his face.
