Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 581: Cultivation and Development of Saint Thieves, Zhang Jingqing Inspects the Customs of Longhu Mountain
After finishing the conversation with Isaac, Zhang Zhiwei continued to study the techniques of cultivating the soul, and he talked to himself in his heart.

Although the ultimate effect of Uncle Master Qingxuan's method of cultivating the soul is to transform the soul and absorb the essence of heaven and earth for eternal existence, the initial practice begins with the body.

By cultivating the seven energy bodies of the body, we can feed back to the soul and transform it.

Once the transformation is complete, one can break free from the constraints of the physical body and gain freedom. Not only can one absorb the essence of nature and live forever in the world, but one can also take over the bodies of other people at will.

"It sounds wonderful, but without the protection of the physical body, leaving only the soul in the world is still a little too empty. Not to mention the Samadhi True Fire, if you encounter the Soul-Containing General, you will be directly detained and have no power to resist."

"It just echoes what Lu Zu said in the 'Song of Knocking on the Yao'. Only cultivating destiny but not nature is the first problem in cultivation. If you only cultivate nature but not destiny, it will be difficult for your soul to become a saint after ten thousand calamities."

"If you use it as a supernatural skill, it's not reliable, but if you just use it as a means of protecting the way and a supplement to the cultivation of life, then it's still good!"

Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself.

Immediately, he began to recite the method silently in his heart and thought about how to complete it.

"This soul-cultivation technique and the Six Treasury Immortal Thief among the Eight Wonders are both methods of sage thieves, absorbing the essence of nature for their own use."

"It's just that one affects the body, and the other affects the soul. Although the results are somewhat different, the purpose of practice is similar, so it is still worth learning from."

"The Six Storehouses of the Immortal Thief are the six stores of the cultivator, which refer to the six organs in the human body that absorb energy, namely the large intestine, small intestine, stomach, triple burner, gallbladder, and bladder. This creates a perfect digestive system and eliminates other internal factors. This is the most basic practice concept of the Six Storehouses of the Immortal Thief."

"And the seven energy bodies that Uncle Qingxuan needs to cultivate in his soul cultivation method are actually the seven spirits among the three souls and seven spirits."

The words "hunpo" and "po" often appear together, and many people think that hunpo is actually the name of the soul.

But in fact, soul and spirit cannot be confused, just like the "body" and "mind" in "body and mind" are not the same thing.

Taoists believe that after the soul enters the fetus, it distributes energy to the seven chakras in the human body's central channel, forming seven energy bodies, which are the seven souls of a person.

Therefore, the seven souls are unique to the human body. After a person dies, the seven souls will dissipate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his fingers and tapped the top of his head, between his eyebrows, throat, heart, dantian and other parts.

Wherever his finger pointed was the location of the seven souls in the human body.

These locations are all on the chakras of the human body.

Chakra is the term used here. If it is changed into Sanskrit, it is translated as chakra. It is a point that every practitioner cannot avoid.

Because of this, the seven spirits are called differently in each system.

In Taoism they are called corpse dog, hidden arrow, sparrow's vagina, thief swallower, non-poisonous, filth remover, and stinking lung.

In Buddhism, they are called Tianchong Po, Linghui Po, Qi Po, Li Po, Zhongshu Po, Jing Po and Ying Po.

In medicine and martial arts, they are also called the root chakra, navel chakra, solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, brow chakra and crown chakra.

No matter what you call it, it's actually the same thing.

"Six storehouses... seven souls..."

Zhang Zhiwei murmured these two words, and his heart suddenly moved. It turned out that there was indeed a connection between the Six Storehouses and the Seven Souls.

Although the seven souls and the six storehouses are not directly equal, they can influence each other.

The "Purging of Filth" among the Seven Souls corresponds to the Sanjiao among the Six Storehouses, and at the same time affects the Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian of the hand, which can dominate nervous emotions.

"Non-toxic" corresponds to the gallbladder in the six storage organs, and also affects the foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian. The corresponding emotion is anxiety.

"Fu Shi" corresponds to the stomach in the six warehouses, affects the stomach meridian of foot yangming, and dominates the clarity of impatience.

"Swallowing thieves" corresponds to the large intestine and small intestine in the six storages, and affects the hand yangming large intestine meridian and the hand taiyin small intestine meridian at the same time, and can dominate the emotions of regret and sorrow.

"Queyin" corresponds to the bladder among the six stores, and at the same time affects the foot-taiyang bladder meridian, which can dominate depressed emotions.

Of course, the two cannot be completely equated. It just means that the seven spirits have a more obvious influence on these organs, after all, they involve the entire twelve meridians.

"However, what about the two extra souls among the five out of the seven souls in the six storehouses..." Zhang Zhiwei pointed to his heart and lungs.

The two extra souls are "corpse dog" and "stinky lungs", and the corresponding organs are not the six internal organs, but the heart and lungs.

There is no need to explain how important the heart and lungs are in the human body. The generation of Yang Five Thunders is mainly based on the generation of Qi in the heart and lungs.

"The meridians corresponding to the six storages in the practice center are all yang, which is undoubtedly abnormal. The yang is strong and the yin is weak in the body. The emotions affected by the yin meridians are bound to fluctuate."

"If the mind cannot sit high above the spiritual platform and not be affected by delusions, it will surely become a slave to emotions and desires!"

"That is to say, although the Six Treasury Immortal Thief has six treasuries, the five internal organs cannot be left out, and the most important one is the heart."

"And Uncle Qingxuan's method happens to include the part of cultivating the mind, that is, cultivating the corpse dog. In comparison, it seems to be more perfect and has fewer side effects."

"However, her practice seems to be inadequate, or perhaps she is biased in one area, which is why the following situation occurred."

"If everything goes as planned, to achieve balance, we must focus on the cultivation of the two energy bodies, Corpse Dog and Stinky Lung."

"In this case, no matter how Grandmaster Qingxuan practiced this method, I will follow my own philosophy of practicing thunder magic, starting with the corpse dog and the stinky lungs, and then the other souls will be born."

With this thought in mind, Zhang Zhiwei closed his eyes and began the experiment. Since it concerned the mind and soul, he was very careful in the experiment and would not allow for any mistakes.

the other side.

Tian Jinzhong was practicing the Tiantong Finger. He stretched out his fingers and made some empty gestures in the air. Earlier, during the evening class, Zhang Huaiyi found him and taught him the method of practicing the Tiantong Finger with silver thread.

However, after thinking for a while, Tian Jinzhong did not practice according to Zhang Huaiyi's suggestion.

My senior brother once said that wanting everything will only hurt yourself.

The so-called Tiantong Divine Sword that condenses the Qi in the hand is not suitable for him.

What he needs now is a powerful method similar to palm thunder.

Tiantong Index is undoubtedly the best choice.

Lu Jin, on the other hand, regarded the Tiantong Sword as a treasure.

His fighting style is to activate the reverse life state and then overwhelm the opponent with force.

In this situation, it is undoubtedly not cost-effective to shoot people from a distance. The only way to unleash his maximum strength is to condense a "light sword" and rush over to chop people.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a big tree, holding a thin silver thread between two fingers and stabbing it back and forth. With the pull of Qi, the thread was stretched straight.

When piercing, Lu Jin always remembered Zhang Huaiyi's instructions. When piercing, the thread is just an auxiliary tool, not the thread as a force carrier. The Qi is used to pierce the tree, not the thread. In this way, there will be great progress. Listen to others' advice and eat a full meal. Lu Jin has always done this.

Every time he stabbed the sword, the silver wire would glow and stretch straight, but the moment he retracted the sword, the silver wire would soften.

The reason for this is that he does not have enough control over Qi now, the Qi is not strong enough, and of course, it is also because the silk thread is too fragile.

However, what is wanted is the fragility of the thread.

If you replace it with a real sword, you won't be able to better train the Qi attached to it, which will cause the Qi power that is stabbed out by the finger to be blocked.

Lu Jin practiced again and again, using the silver wire to pierce the trees.

At the beginning, it could only leave marks on the tree but could not penetrate it.

Gradually, he was able to penetrate it.

It's just that the silver thread will bend when it is pierced through, and ordinary people may think it's harmless.

But Lu Jin felt that it was not up to standard and kept on stabbing. Only a complete penetration could be called a Qi penetration. Only then could he try the next step.

Although Lu Jin is reckless, he is very serious about his practice. He likes to simplify the big practices.

This was the truth his master Zuo Rutong told him when he first came into contact with the third level of reverse life.

At that time, he asked his master why there were three levels of the Three Important Stages of Rebirth Against the Current. Why couldn't it be just one level and become an immortal directly? That would be great.

The master did not scold him, but patted his little head and told him softly that the reason there are three levels is because when completing a big goal, you cannot think about doing it all at once, because it is very difficult.

In this process, people's confidence and interest can easily be eroded, causing them to lose their motivation and ultimately fail.

It is best to divide the big goal into several small goals from easy to difficult, and then complete them step by step, accumulating small gains into big wins, so there are three levels of reverse birth.

Lu Jin has always remembered his master's teachings and has always followed them.

Lu Jin took a deep breath and looked at Tian Jinzhong standing next to him.

At this moment, it was already late at night, and Tian Jinzhong was still practicing finger techniques. Even though the Qi in his Dantian was empty, he was still poking the tree with his fingers. He had poked a hundred transparent holes in the tree.

Looking back, one can see Zhang Huaiyi sitting cross-legged in meditation not far away, with golden light emanating from his body. One can tell at a glance that he is using the Golden Light Mantra to temper his life.

On the training ground not far away, there were several Taoists from Longhu Mountain practicing and exchanging moves.

Lu Jin looked towards Senior Brother Zhang's room again. Although he didn't know what Senior Brother Zhang was doing, the light in the room was still on, so he guessed that he was not idle either.

"Is this the atmosphere in Mount Longhu? How can these Taoist priests look like free and unrestrained wanderers? And this hedgehog guy, which puddle has he gone to practice martial arts? He likes to dive into the water so much. In my opinion, he should be called loach instead of hedgehog!" Lu Jin complained in his heart.

The reason why Lu Ci likes to practice in the water is because he can feel the shock waves more intuitively through the ripples of the water.

At this time, an old man with gray hair and beard and the gait of a dragon and a tiger appeared on one side of the training ground. It was the Heavenly Master Zhang Jingqing.

Zhang Jingqing looked around in the training ground and then walked towards them.

When the people who were practicing saw the Heavenly Master coming, they immediately stopped practicing and came over to pay their respects.

"You don't rest well in the middle of the night, you are really hardworking!"

Zhang Jingqing looked at Tian Jinzhong and nodded with some satisfaction. This kid finally got it.

Immediately, he noticed the tree that Tian Jinzhong had poked with hundreds of transparent holes. Suddenly, a "well" character appeared on his forehead, and he scolded:
"This tree was planted by me when I was a child. It has been growing for decades. It is a small thing in the mansion, but it is not precious at all!"

Lu Jin, who was about to poke the tree with the silver thread, suddenly paused and put down the silver thread in his hand in disappointment.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Lu Jin and said, "Don't stop, keep going. That tree was planted by Yi Qian, so it doesn't matter if it gets damaged by thorns!"

Lu Jin recalled Yi Qian's appearance in his mind and quickly waved his hand and said, "Senior Tianshi, that Taoist priest seems to be difficult to deal with. I'd better not give up!"

Tian Jinzhong looked aggrieved and panted, "Master, isn't this for the purpose of practicing to get a feel for the skill?"

"Practicing Kung Fu?" Zhang Jingqing glanced at Tian Jinzhong's bloody hands and said, "This is what that evil creature Zhang Zhiwei did."

Tian Jinzhong quickly wiped the blood off his fingers on his Taoist robe and said:

"Master, there is nothing wrong with my method. It's just that I don't have enough Qi, so this happened!"

"What can you do with dead things?" Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Huaiyi next to him and said, "Huaiyi, go fight Jinzhong."

"Huaiyi, I don't have much Qi now, you have to take it easy!" Tian Jinzhong reminded.

"Do not worry!"

Immediately, the two began to compete. Strictly speaking, it should be a sparring match. Tian Jinzhong made a move, Zhang Huaiyi received it, then made a feint, and then continued to receive the move.

After a few rounds, Zhang Jingqing shook his head. He walked to Tian Jinzhong and grabbed his hand that was pointing like a sword.

Tian Jinzhong was a little flattered and at a loss.

Zhang Jingqing said in a deep voice: "Hold your breath and concentrate, pay attention to your surroundings."

Tian Jinzhong hurriedly did as he was told, and soon he felt that Zhang Huaiyi in front of him seemed to be breathing, sometimes long and sometimes short.

But this kind of breathing is not as simple as breathing through the mouth and nose, but the Qi in the body is breathing.

And in the interval between breathing, the master grabbed his hand and stabbed Zhang Huaiyi fiercely.

Zhang Huaiyi tried to block Tian Jinzhong's attack with all its force, but failed and was poked and staggered.

"What...what's going on?"

Tian Jinzhong looked at the scene in amazement. Although it was the master who was holding his hand, the strength remained the same, so why was the effect completely different?

Zhang Jingqing let go of Tian Jinzhong's hand and said, "This is the application of skills. If an extraordinary person wants to use a method, he needs to circulate Qi. When Qi runs along a certain trajectory, he can exert his ability. This process is divided into the beginning of Qi circulation, then to the peak of the magic, and finally to the decline. This is called changing Qi."

"The time between one Qi and another is just like the critical moment between Yin and Yang. In those life-and-death fights between evenly matched opponents, what matters is the skill of exchanging Qi, and of course the abundance of Qi. The two sides are fighting each other, like air bags stabbing each other, and it all depends on who leaks the slower."

"This is also the reason why no matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to resist an army of thousands. If you don't hide, the army will surround you and kill you wave after wave without giving you a chance to change your Qi. No matter how powerful your methods are, it will be in vain. The 10,000-man enemy, the innate double-pupil person Xiang Yu, and even the Martial Saint Guan Yu were all surrounded and killed in this way."

At this time, Lu Jin raised an objection: "But Senior Tianshi, I remember Senior Brother Zhang is in Bincheng..."
