Blue Silver Grass Strategy

"This is not it, let's check the position of the heart and dantian——"

"The heart... the position of the heart is fine, but Dantian... Dantian, is Dantian... so low——?"

"Hehe... my hand slipped... my hand slipped——"

……

Let us discard the inappropriate and boring content in the second half and focus on what the young lady said at the beginning.

In the traditional Chinese medicine theory of Ling Yi's previous life, the human body is a small world, and the qi circulation veins inside the small world are divided into two categories: regular meridians and extraordinary meridians. There are twelve regular meridians, namely the three yin meridians of the hands and feet and the three yang meridians of the hands and feet, collectively known as the "twelve meridians", which are the main channels for the circulation of qi and blood. There are eight extraordinary meridians, namely the governor, the conception, the Chong, the belt, the yin qiao, the yang qiao, the yin wei, and the yang wei, collectively known as the "eight extraordinary meridians", which have the function of commanding, connecting and regulating the twelve meridians. In addition, there are also the "twelve collateral meridians" and other small meridians that exist as supplements and connections.

Let's not talk about the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians' for now. In his previous life, Ling Yi hadn't discussed this with the young lady yet, and he changed his career to learn foreign languages ​​and found a young girl to learn Russian.

In addition, even in martial arts novels, film and television dramas, those who involve the 'Eight Extraordinary Meridians' are all masters. For Ling Yi, who has just started, it is too early to study these.

Back to the "Twelve Meridians", their names are determined based on their yin and yang properties, the organs they belong to, and the parts they run through. They belong to the twelve organs respectively, and each meridian uses the name of the organs it belongs to, combined with the different parts of the hands and feet, inside and outside, front, middle and back, and is given different names based on the theory of yin and yang.

The names are: Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian, Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, and Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian.

These twelve meridians are connected to each other through the connection of the yin and yang meridians of the hands and feet, forming a cyclical and endless transmission system. Qi and blood can reach the internal organs and the skin through the meridians, and operate the whole body.

The above encyclopedia knowledge comes to an end here for the time being, and Ling Yi begins to focus on the parts that are useful to him.

That is, the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin!

"Is it because most people's martial spirits manifest in their right hands that the meridians on the right hand are used as the entry route?"

Ling Yi pondered secretly: "But, why start from the Shaochong point on the little finger? Instead of the Shaoshang point on the thumb, the Zhongchong point on the middle finger, or the Guanchong point on the ring finger?"

'In addition, Shaoze acupoint is also on the side of the pinky finger nail, but it is closer to the inner side of the ring finger, while Shaochong acupoint is on the outer side. Is there any particularity in this choice? '

Chapter 20: Spirit Qualification

Ling Yi was puzzled as to why the "Basic Meditation Method" chose "Shaochong Point of the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin" as the starting point.

You must know that on the right hand alone, there are three yang meridians and three yin meridians of the hand, a total of six meridians!

There is the 'Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian' on your thumb.

There is the 'Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian' on the index finger.

There is the 'Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian' on the middle finger.

There is the 'Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian' on the ring finger.

There are 'Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian' and 'Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian' on the little finger.

In theory, each of these meridians can be used as a route for meditation and to drive soul power.

As Ling Yi was thinking, he divided his mind into two parts, using his mental power as a guide to drive the soul power in his body to practice according to the route of the 'Shao Yin Heart Meridian'.

Nearly an hour later, the efficiency of practice began to decline. Ling Yi, who was still thinking hard but to no avail, had no choice but to collect his mind, and put the soul power in his body, which had been strengthened by about 5%, into his dantian, and ended his practice.

At the same time, he shook his head slightly in his heart: "After all, there are few known parameters, and it doesn't make sense~"

Thinking of the problem of few parameters, Ling Yi then thought of the sickle swinging style and the axe swinging style in the "Three Farmer's Styles" which have not yet been completely perfected. The main reason is that the number of people who can be observed on a daily basis is relatively small, and it is impossible to obtain more human muscle reaction data corresponding to the limb movements.

He got up from the bed and cast his eyes on the wooden shelf beside the bed, where there was a row of flower pots, each of which contained a few plants of "Blue Silver Grass".

I walked over, raised my hand and stroked a few of the grass leaves, feeling the faint yet vigorous vitality contained in them. My chaotic thoughts were slightly relieved.

The sharp and piercing cicadas' cries outside the window seemed to be calling tirelessly and endlessly, reminding Ling Yi how hot it was outside at the moment.

Calculating the time, by now, Grandpa Ling Changqing and Dad Ling Xiaoshan should have already cut a lot of juicy grass and be on their way back, right?

Ling Yi thought so.

Feeling the subtle tightening sensation in his meridians, and the slight strange feeling when he absorbed his soul power back into his dantian, Ling Yi focused his attention on the past hour or so of practice and began to summarize.

'It took about an hour, and the soul power continued to run in the meridians. In addition to the soul power itself, there were also particles from the outside world, or... spiritual energy! '

Ling Yi began to pace slowly in the room to relieve the stiffness of his limbs and the stagnation of qi and blood caused by sitting cross-legged for a long time.

At the same time, he stared at the "Blue Silver Grass" on the wooden frames in all directions of the room. Occasionally, he cast his eyes to the open window, looking out the direction of the old forest outside the house, looking at the lush and verdant jungle canopies.

Watching it this way, the mental energy consumed by previously dividing the mind and maintaining concentration during long periods of practice was relieved.

"As Yan Bin said before, soul power training cannot be too long each time. Depending on the talent of each person, the length of time for training in a day can be long or short. If it exceeds this time, not only will the efficiency become extremely low, but if you are not careful, it will also cause damage to the body..."

'Now it seems that in addition to the fact that my concentration decreases over time and my mental energy consumption gradually increases, my meridians are also being washed away by external spiritual energy, so I have to stop practicing before my mental energy gets out of control and my meridians are damaged!'

"I think that those soul masters with high innate soul power and strong martial soul qualifications should have more resilient meridians, a higher degree of control over soul power by mental power, and more soul power wrapped in more external spiritual power..."

'More spiritual energy intake, longer practice time, higher practice efficiency, so the speed of practice is naturally very different! '

Although he has not seen the practice of other soul masters, Ling Yi feels that this inference should be popular in the world view of Douluo Continent.

"Speaking of which, in the original plot timeline, Tang San practiced the highest internal skill of the [Tang Sect] in the martial arts world of his previous life, the "Xuantian Gong"~" Ling Yi hugged his chest with one hand and supported his chin with the other, and began to recall the novel he read in his previous life:

"I remember that not long after he became Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, Yu Xiaogang gave him a book that he said he had compiled himself, which contained the routes and techniques for meditating and cultivating soul power..."

'At that time, Tang San secretly sighed that although the soul power running route given by Yu Xiaogang was not as good as the "Xuantian Gong", the "Xuantian Gong" was the result of the hard work and experience of countless generations of Tang Sect ancestors, and Master Yu Xiaogang was only one person.'

Not to mention that Tang San just "fell" step by step under the "astonishing wisdom" of Master Yu Xiaogang. Through this passage, Ling Yi inferred that the meditation practice of soul power is most likely to control the movement of one's own soul power and transport it in the meridians.

However, compared to the 'low-level martial arts' that mainly refines essence into qi, the Douluo Continent of this fantasy floor tile can directly absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world due to the convenience of the martial soul, and rise to the level of 'middle martial arts'.

"Ayi~Ayi——!"

At this moment, amid the noisy cicada sounds outside, a sudden call was heard.

It was Zhang Lei. Hearing this familiar voice, Ling Yi felt his body, especially his legs, no longer stiff. His spirit also relaxed a lot. He responded loudly, "Here it comes——!"

He took two steps to the door, pushed it open, and came to Ling Changqing's yard.

Just then, Zhang Lei also pushed the door open from the courtyard gate. Seeing Ling Yi, he hurriedly ran up to him with a smile, grabbed Ling Yi's arm, and ran out of the courtyard.

As he ran, he said, "Ayi, I have collected all the "Blue Silver Grass" seeds you asked me to collect for you!"

After running for a while, I arrived at Zhang Dahe's house. When I entered the yard, I saw a straw mat spread on the ground and a pile of dark blue, almost black "sand" piled there.

"look--!"

Arriving in front of the 'sand pile', Zhang Lei said cheerfully to Ling Yi:

"Three thousand pills! No more, no less!"

"According to your request, these seeds are full and pure in color. Those that are shriveled, cracked, and gray in color are all discarded—!"

Looking at the pile of "Blue Silver Grass" seeds in front of him with satisfaction, Ling Yi raised his hand and gently tapped Zhang Lei on the shoulder, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Lei..."

"Hey! What are you thanking me for?" Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "It didn't take much effort. Erwa, Xiaoniu, Huahua and I, about 20 other people, did what you said and cut the "Blue Silver Grass". We came back to knock down the grass seeds and sent the grass leaves to your chicken coop and rabbit house. Then each of us picked out a hundred or so seeds that met your requirements. It only took us half an hour."

"Besides, Ah Huang and Miao Miao caught a lot of food this morning, and we had enough meat for lunch~"

"Erwa and the others said that they would definitely come again next time there is such a job—"

Listening to what Zhang Lei said, Ling Yi nodded, squatted down, put his hand into the seed pile, felt the comfortable feeling when the grains touched his palm skin, and said lightly: "Tell them not to worry, we will ask them for help later, and there will be enough meat!"

"Hmm~" Zhang Lei also squatted down, watching Ling Yi's movements, and asked: "By the way, Ayi, what are you going to do with these seeds?"

"Let's go~"

Ling Yi gathered the scattered seeds together with his hands, then grabbed the four corners of the mat on the ground, scooped up the seeds, raised his head towards Zhang Lei, and said, "Go to my house first and soak these seeds in the same water tank that was used to soak the ginseng seeds..."

In the previous three years, from the age of three to six, ever since Ling Yi first discovered ginseng in the old forest north of Shanhai Village, he often asked Ah Huang and Miaomiao to look for ginseng that was swallowed by birds and then excreted along with feces in the old forest.

After finding it, they don’t dig ginseng directly, but pick ginseng seeds, process them, soak them to germinate, and finally plant them.

Although Ling Yi had no experience in growing ginseng in either his previous life or this life, he could, in the first year, plant it in different locations, use different soils, and use different watering and lighting conditions, and finally refer to the growth conditions of those ginsengs. Starting from the second year, he could basically develop in a good direction.

After all, this is a world with the extraordinary power of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it is natural that some phenomena that seem unscientific would appear.

Ling Yi’s goal is to make the old forest in the north of Shanhai Village his first ginseng planting base!

In the past, I could only drink ginseng chicken soup once every few months, but now I have to drink it once a month, once a week, or even every day!

Now——

It is better to deal with the three thousand "Blue Silver Grass" seeds first.

Chapter 21: Breaking the Obstacles of Knowledge and Perception

"Brother Lei, how do you feel about practicing the Basic Meditation Method these past two days?"

In Shanhai Village, at the corner of Ling Yi's yard, Ling Yi opened a hole in the bag wrapped in the mat and sprinkled the "Blue Silver Grass" seeds inside evenly into the long wooden trough.

Next to him, Zhang Lei used a dark yellow gourd ladle to scoop water from the bucket at his feet and then slowly poured it into the sink.

Hearing Ling Yi's question, Zhang Lei kept moving his hands, thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay~"

"I can now mobilize the soul power in my body to follow the instructions in the Basic Meditation Method~"

At this point, Zhang Lei paused while holding the water scoop, and complained with an awkward expression: "It's the "Basic Meditation Method". I don't know who created it, but I know all the words. Let's read them together. OK! It took me a lot of effort--!"

"This meditation method is much more troublesome than the 'swinging hoe method' you taught me, Ayi!"

Over the years, Zhang Lei is the person who has spent the longest time with Ling Yi. Even Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Xiaoyu, a couple, have not spent as much time with their biological son Ling Yi as they have with Zhang Lei, their cousin.

Therefore, whether it is the logic of speech, the cognition of things, or the style of doing things, etc., they are all deeply influenced by Ling Yi.

Apparently, the descriptive words in the "Basic Meditation Method" that confused many six-year-old soul warrior apprentices who had just awakened did not stump Zhang Lei, a country boy. It just made him ponder for a while.

"Clang-"

With a sound that was neither loud nor soft, Zhang Lei threw the scoop into the empty bucket. Zhang Lei shook his arms and stretched out his right hand. With a flash of gray light, a hoe as tall as him finally appeared in Zhang Lei's hand.

"Boom-"

Zhang Lei turned his martial spirit "hoe" upside down and leaned it on the ground, with his right hand's palm half-circled and his palm against the long handle, with five fingers spread out and facing Ling Yi.

"Ayi, look~" Zhang Lei raised his left hand and pointed his index finger at the middle finger of his right hand: "I can now almost control my soul power from here, pulling those green and yellow light spots outside... Hmm~ Those white, black and red light spots are few and disobedient..."

After saying something off topic, Zhang Lei continued to move his hands, from the top of the middle finger along the fingertip to the palm, then all the way to the wrist, arm, elbow... Stroke upwards, and finally return to the side of the concave area in front of the elbow, nodded, and continued: "At this point, I feel that the soul power is not so obedient. With those external green and yellow light spots, although they are still moving upwards, they move on their own, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and twist from time to time, like fish in water-"

Listening to Zhang Lei's words and watching Zhang Lei's instructions, Ling Yi's hands, which were rolling up the mat, moved slower and slower.

The handsome little face that seemed always calm and composed now had a slightly frown on its brows, showing a hint of melancholy.

Here, Zhang Lei, who was talking excitedly, glanced at Ling Yi's face and his voice became lower and lower. Finally, he asked in a worried voice: "Ayi, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"call--"

Ling Yi let out a long breath, trying to restrain his turbulent mind, his face regained its composure, and his voice was as calm as ever: "Nothing, Brother Lei——"

"I just heard what you said. I have some new thoughts about the practice of the Basic Meditation Method..."

"Let's not talk about me~" Ling Yi changed the subject: "I'm fine, don't worry~~ Or tell me in more detail some of the details of your meditation practice——"

"Oh~"

Seeing Ling Yi say this, his expression didn't seem to be wrong. Zhang Lei, who was only nine years old, didn't think much about it. He nodded and continued to share with Ling Yi enthusiastically, narrating every detail of his cultivation.

After a while, Zhang Lei finished talking about everything he paid attention to and could remember.

After all, I have only been practicing the "Basic Meditation Method" for two days. I am just at the entry level, so naturally, the things I can introduce are limited.

After listening to Zhang Lei, Ling Yi nodded and warned: "Brother Lei, I told you before that you should practice in moderation. When you feel tired or the channels where your soul power is running feel uncomfortable, you should stop. Don't rush for success and hurt yourself..."

"We are only a few years old now, take it slow, don't rush, and make steady progress—"

"Hmm~" Zhang Lei nodded obediently when he heard that. He had the greatest trust in his cousin. Even his biological father Zhang Dahe was not as tall as Ling Yilai in Zhang Lei's mind.

Can Zhang Dahe speak these truths? No, but Ling Yi can!

Can Zhang Dahe come up with so many ideas for making a fortune?No, but Ling Yi can!

Can Zhang Dahe summarize the effective hoeing style for physical training based on the villagers' work in the fields? No! But Ling Yi can!

and also,

When Zhang Lei was declared to have no innate soul power, Zhang Dahe could only keep his fate and accept the result, comforting Zhang Lei not to be sad, but Ling Yi was able to encourage Zhang Lei to face it optimistically, thinking that perhaps the soul power hidden in his body was too little to be detected. As long as his body became stronger, perhaps the soul power would increase until it could be sensed...

"It's always good to eat more, sleep more, exercise more, and keep your body in good shape." Ling Yi said at the time.

The final result was just as Ling Yi had guessed. Zhang Lei did possess innate soul power, but it was too little. At the moment when he was about to be stimulated by the crystal ball, he had a physiological reaction, but it came to an abrupt end because the detection time was up. He himself was so excited at the time that he was completely unaware of this.

Now, Ling Yi compared Zhang Lei's soul power with his own half-level soul power. Zhang Lei's soul power has reached level two!
