Chapter 127 Qimen Dun Armor

Wankou Port, conference hall.

Gan Ning was wearing military uniform and full of energy. He had been outside the door and inside the room. Zhou Yu and Zuo Ci had been talking at night for two hours.

Zhou Yu stared at Zuo Ci with his wise eyes and asked, "Senior Zuo, are you determined?"

Zuo Ci responded to Zhou Yu's gaze and said, "I have been traveling around the world and being home for my country over the years. I am tired of such a life. I have returned to my hometown to take root and carry forward the skills I have learned, so I will not let down the expectations of my master Taiyi Zhenren."

Zhou Yu said loudly: "Okay. I will send someone to Tianzhu Mountain tomorrow to renovate your residence, build a new Taoist temple nearby, and add an alchemy furnace for your use in the future."

Zuo Ci laughed and said, "You young man is really cute and you are decisive. Since you spend so much money, I should repay you some, right?"

Zhou Yu was happy, but hurriedly said, "Where are there... I will do these things without asking for rewards."

Zuo Ci smiled freely and said, "You little young man is right and wrong? Haha, I have nothing to repay you, so I will pass on you a set of art of Dunjia. How about it?"

Zhou Yu was not polite, so he bowed and said, "A disciple Zhou Yu will meet the master!"

"Oh haha~~" Zuo Cichang laughed a few times, helped Zhou Yu up with both hands, and said proudly, "Advisor~~Come on, please. Today I picked up a bargain and accepted this good disciple, and I was satisfied. Brother Yu, you have made a trick of giving the sword of the spirit snake. It's not just to give him the sword of Chunjun to him, right? Now, you are one step behind me, and he is the one who takes me as your teacher first. Don't blame me in the future, haha."

Shu County, Lujiang Prefecture.

In the back garden, Zhou Yu sat on the ground, with his head, palms, and soles of his feet facing the sky, practicing breathing skills. Zuo Ci's earnest teaching echoed in his mind.

Qimen Dunjia originated more than two thousand years ago when Emperor Huangdi of Xuanyuan fought against Chiyou. At that time, our ancestors Huangdi and Chiyou started an unprecedented battle in Zhuolu. Chiyou was seven feet tall, with an iron head and bronze body inseparable from swords and guns, and would call for wind and rain; creating fog on the battlefield, causing Huangdi's troops to lose their direction.

One night, when everyone was sleeping in the middle of the night, suddenly, a shocking sound and a very strong light came from Xuanyuan Hill, awakening Huangdi and everyone. So everyone hurriedly got up and ran over to see that a rainbow slowly descended from the sky. A fairy with bright light walked out of it. The fairy held a nine-inch-long and eight-inch-wide jade box in her hand. Huangdi took it and opened it. There was a divine seal script book, Dragon Armor God Chapter inside. Huangdi made a guide cart based on the records in the book and finally defeated Chiyou.

In addition to recording the methods of building weapons, the Dragon Armor God Chapter also records many military strategies for marching and dispatching soldiers and generals. So Huangdi asked his prime minister Feng Hou to interpret the Dragon Armor God Chapter into Chapter 13 Military Art, Chapter 12 Guxu Method, and 1,080 games of Qimen Dunjia.

Later, after being passed on to Zhang Liang by Jiang Taigong of the Zhou Dynasty and the old man of Huangshi in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang simplified it and became the Qimen Dunjia as we know now.

What is the meaning of "Qimen Dunjia"? It is composed of three general principles: "Qi", "men" and "Dunjia".

"Qi" means the three strange things of Yi, Bing, and Ding; "men" means Xiu, Sheng, Wu, Jing, Death, Shock, and Open the Eight Gates; "Dun" means hidden, "Jia" means Liujia, that is, Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin, "Dunjia" is the most noble among the ten stems. It hides but does not appear and hides under the six rites. "Six rites" are Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui.

The principle of seclusion is that Jiazi is the same as Liuwu, Jiaxu is the same as Liuji, Jiashen is the same as LiuGeng, Jiawu is the same as LiuXin, Jiachen is the same as LiuRen, Jiayin is the same as LiuGui. In addition, it is also combined with Peng, Ren, Chong, Fu, Ying, Rui, Zhu, Xin, and Qin nine stars. The divination of Qimen Dun is mainly divided into three plates of Tian, ​​Gate, and Earth, symbolizing the three talents. The nine palaces of the Tianpan have nine stars, and the eight palaces of the middle plate (the middle palace is sent to the second palace) are distributed in eight gates. The eight palaces of the earth plate represent eight directions and are still. At the same time, on the heaven plate, each palace is assigned a specific Qi (Yi, Bing, Ding) ritual (Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui six ritual).

In this way, based on the specific time and day, the Six Ordinances, Three Odds, Eight Gates, and Nine Stars are arranged, and the relationships, characteristics, and movements of things are measured, and the auspicious times and auspicious directions are selected, which constitutes a unique category of Qimen Dunjia in the mysterious culture of China.

Qimen Dunjia was misunderstood by many people as a magic trick used for divination. In fact, Qimen Dunjia is a practice of cultivation, which contains a very high internal and mental method. Taoist practices first, inside and then outside, and the skills will naturally come true.

The internal energy cultivation of Qimen Dunjia is divided into five levels. The first to the third level are the basic internal energy. The internal energy practice of breathing and suction can be achieved in half a year. The fourth level is the small Zhoutian, and the internal energy is in the body along the Ren, and the Du meridians are circulated for one week. That is, the internal energy starts from the lower dantian, passes through the perineum, passes through the anus, passes along the Du meridian, connects the coccyx along the spine, connects the three gates of Jiaji and Yuzin, and goes to the Niwan on the top of the head, and then goes down from the cheeks of the ears and cheeks, and then goes down to the tip of the tongue (or to Yingxiang, walks on the Magpie Bridge). It connects with the Ren meridian and returns to the Dantian along the middle and lower chest and abdomen.

The fifth level is the Great Zhoutian, which is the process of practicing qi and transforming spirits. Its internal energy flows along the Ren and Du meridians, and it also flows on other meridians. Relatively speaking, the range is larger than that of the small Zhoutian, so it is called the Great Zhoutian. In the stage of the Great Zhoutian, the acquired essence is enriched and gradually returned to the innate essence, so the innate Bagua diagram is used for guidance.

Only after practicing the internal skills and mental method to the fifth level can one use the Qimen Dunjia technique.

What Zuo Ci taught Zhou Yu was to practice the internal skills of Qimen Dunjia. After Zhou Yu practiced for a few days, Zuo Ci was shocked to find that Zhou Yu was talented and had excellent roots and bones. His internal skills were improved a thousand miles a day, and he soon reached the third level. While he was happy, Zuo Ci also secretly worried that Zhou Yu would not lay a solid foundation, so he told him to practice diligently every morning and evening to lay a solid foundation.

After giving instructions, Zuo Ci taught Zhou Yu the mental method of practicing the fourth level of internal strength, and left Lujiang and went to Tianzhu Mountain to refine alchemy.

On this day, Zhou Yu chose a clean room, open windows and close the doors, fresh air, avoid wind direction, then loosen his clothes and unwrapped his legs, fold his legs naturally, sit on the bed, straighten his body, not bend his spine, straighten his spine, and not bend. His buttocks slightly backward, his abdomen slightly bulges, his chest slightly bent forward, and his hands were held under his abdomen. Then close his eyes slightly, calm down, not think, not look, not listen, not move, his tongue touches the upper jaw, and his mouth is filled with saliva.

After a while, Zhou Yu felt a heat in his dantian slowly rise, so he guided the heat from his dantian down, along the lower abdomen, reaching the Zhongji point four inches below the navel, passing through the perineum, passing through the valley path to the coccyx, upward along the spinous process of the Jiaji, reaching the Baihui point on the top of the head, then down the face, passing through the throat, and entering the dantian from the midline of the chest and abdomen.

After a cycle, Zhou Yu felt refreshed, so he paused a little, and continued to follow the previous method, and continued to cycle twenty small cycles.

After practicing, Zhou Yu felt that his energy was extremely abundant and his limbs were full of strength, so he stood up and randomly practiced a set of boxing techniques. This boxing technique was created by Zhou Yu, imitating the trajectory of the sun, moon and stars, learning from nature, and surpassing nature. His moves were not fixed, and he moved with his heart and was free to send and receive. Zhou Yu named it "Invisible Fist".

After a set of boxing techniques, Zhou Yu felt even more light as a swallow, as if endless new powers were rushing from his dantian to various parts of his body. He was very happy. Suddenly, he heard a "crackling" sound of applause. When he walked out the door, he saw that the little fish was standing outside the door in a pretty face.

"Brother Yu... Oh no...Master Zhou," Xiao Yuer glanced around with her phoenix eyes. She saw a guard walking towards this direction. She quickly changed her words and said, "Your boxing style is very good. I have never seen it before. What is this boxing style?"

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Just think it looks good, you can tell me what's so good about this boxing technique. I'll tell you the name of this boxing technique."

Seeing that Zhou Yu seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for him, Xiao Yuer's pretty face turned slightly red and said angrily: "You really think I can't see it. Let me tell you that your boxing style seems messy, but in fact it has its own rules. Sometimes it is as majestic as the red sun in the sky, sometimes as delicate and graceful as the bright moon at night, and sometimes as hazy and subtle as the stars in the night sky. If you hit this set of punches, others will be confused, and this is your chance."

Zhou Yu nodded frequently when he heard this, stretched out his thumb to Xiaoyuer, and said, "Awesome~~Awesome~~Our Xiaoyuer can now understand some of the mysteries of martial arts. Your speed of progress has made me admire you."

Xiaoyuer raised her head proudly and said, "I knew you looked down on us female soldiers! Let me tell you that our female soldiers have expanded again, and now there are five hundred people. The sisters train hard day and night, hoping that one day they can go to the battlefield to show their heroic posture. How about it, give me a chance?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "There are so many opportunities, but do you really dare to kill someone?"

"I underestimate others again!" Xiao Yu'er's pretty face changed color and she shouted.

Zhou Yu was about to explain that Xiao Yu'er's pink fist had already been whispered out with the sound of wind. Zhou Yu hurriedly resisted it and said with a wry smile: "Little Yu'er... Sister Yu... My little ancestor... stop making trouble, okay?"
