Chapter 132 New changes to the panel, three flowers? Five Qi?
Du Ruo's joke silenced Xiang Yuanyuan.
But this is really just a joke. We are all adults, who will control you every day? So in the end it depends on Xiang Yuanyuan herself. The most difficult days are over, and as long as Xiang Yuanyuan can restrain herself, there will be no problem.
After returning to the city, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan declined their cousin's invitation to dinner and decided to go straight home.
However, Du Ruo still did not refuse the various specialties that his cousin brought.
"Let's go, you can come over and play when you are free."
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Li Qiyao and his cousin, then drove towards Huangshan with Xiang Yuanyuan.
“It seems like I haven’t been back for a century, and I don’t know what the pub has become.”
Xiang Yuanyuan looked out the window. The vehicle had already entered the highway and the scenery became monotonous. Xiang Yuanyuan couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"If you don't go back, the tavern business will probably be in trouble."
Du Ruo smiled. Yang Ling reported to him about the situation of the B&B every day. It had not been fully booked for two consecutive days. Part of the reason was the weather, which was too hot, and part of the reason was that Xiang Yuanyuan had not appeared in the tavern for quite a long time.
"It doesn't matter. Business will be good when I go back anyway."
Xiang Yuanyuan doesn't care about this and is confident about it.
She has always been posting some short videos online, but before they were videos of her drinking or drinking alone, but a few days ago they turned into travel videos. She has revealed that she will return to the pub soon, and she believes that the pub will be lively again soon.
"Du Ruo, when are you going to travel? Do you have any plans?"
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at the scenery outside the window and started asking about Du Ruo's itinerary.
"I'm not sure, but my goal is to go deep into the mountains to observe wild animals up close. The specific location is still being planned."
Du Ruo hasn't thought about it yet, and will have to wait until after today to decide the details.
"Fine……"
……
By the time the two stopped their car, the sky had begun to darken. Du Ruo had just stopped the car when a voice sounded not far away.
"Du Ruo, come and have a drink."
"Chen Guang, are you okay? You came just in time. I brought some local specialties. You can take them back. Where did you go just now?"
Du Ruo saw that it was Yang Chenguang. He looked fine, at least he didn't look drunk like he did that day.
"Secretary Yang, Du Ruo, I'll be back first, you guys chat."
Xiang Yuanyuan got out of the passenger seat, took some of her things, and walked towards the second floor of the pub.
"Madam boss, let's have a drink together tonight."
Yang Chenguang ignored Du Ruo's question and said hello to Xiang Yuanyuan who was about to leave. After all, they used to drink together, so he should invite her now. It was just a matter of adding more pairs of chopsticks.
"No, you guys go ahead. I've been quitting drinking recently. I'll go get myself something to eat later."
Xiang Yuanyuan waved her hand and started going upstairs.
"She went to the hospital some time ago and was diagnosed with liver damage. She needs to take care of her liver for more than a month and cannot drink alcohol during this time."
Du Ruo explained on the side.
"Don't mention it, she really drinks less. When she drinks, she drinks too much. I get scared just by looking at her."
Yang Chenguang nodded in agreement, and then began to help Du Ruo move things from the car, and continued:
"There was a fight between a couple in the village this afternoon. I have been doing all kinds of ideological work and persuading them. I just finished it and it's time to go back for dinner. Let's go. You haven't been home these days. I guess there's nothing to eat at home. Let's go to my house to have a bite and drink."
"Fighting? Isn't that the women's director's job? Can you stop them?"
After putting the things away, Du Ruo carried the specialties prepared for Yang Chenguang's family, and brought a bottle of medicinal wine by the way. She did not even close the door and followed Yang Chenguang to his home.
"Is there anything I can't persuade? I went there to prevent the two sides from fighting. Poor couples have many troubles. In the end, it's all because of money..."
Yang Chenguang walked in front, saying all the time that every family has its own problems. As a village cadre, he actually spends most of his time dealing with trivial matters.
Du Ruo drank the most in the evening, but it was Yang Chenguang who was drunk, so after dinner, Du Ruo did not stay long and returned to the yard where he rented.
As usual, Du Ruo performed a few rounds of boxing before opening the attribute panel and adding points.
And when Du Ruo added the "Spirit" attribute points to 10, the system unexpectedly showed some unprecedented changes, which had never happened before.
Name: Du Ruo Age: 31
Fine:
Qi:
God:
Attribute points:
Three flowers: 10%
Five Qi: 8%
Skills: slightly
Special skills: Omitted
"Three flowers? Five Qi? How do I cultivate these? Can I add some?"
Du Ruo looked at the changes in the attribute panel and suddenly felt a little confused. How come what was originally a good Chinese martial art suddenly became something mysterious?
However, soon, a large amount of unfamiliar knowledge suddenly flooded into Du Ruo's mind, which instantly allowed Du Ruo to understand the principles. At the same time, he also knew for the first time what the spirit, energy and essence represented.
Essence represents the fundamental force of life.
Qi represents the life force of the human body.
God is concerned with the survival of life.
The three flowers and five qi are actually very easy to understand. They represent the realm and goal of spiritual practice. The three flowers refer to the three energies of "essence, qi, and spirit" of the human body gathered at the Baihui point on the top of the head, which is also the Niwan Palace. As long as the essence, qi, and spirit are integrated into one, the three flowers will gather at the top of the head.
As long as you reach this state, your whole body and mind will be sublimated, and your entire spirit will be transformed.
What is now on Du Ruo's attribute panel are the three flowers, which are actually the three flowers gathered at the top of the head. Of course, the three flowers now only represent the essence, energy and spirit. Du Ruo still needs to condense them. Only after condensation, can they be integrated and gathered at the top of the head.
The Three Flowers are also called the Three Huas, which refers to the sublimation of essence, energy and spirit. The Three Flowers are divided into the Human Flower, the Earth Flower and the Heaven Flower. The Human Flower refines essence into energy, the Earth Flower refines energy into spirit, and the Heaven Flower refines spirit into emptiness.
Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness do not represent states of mind, but rather a method and means to train essence, Qi, and spirit.
The corresponding skill is actually the one that Du Ruo acquired: Hunyuan Qigong. As long as he continues to practice it, his essence, energy and spirit will be mixed in his body, and eventually they will gather into one and converge at the Baihui acupoint. This is the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.
The percentage behind the three flowers on Du Ruo's panel represents the degree of refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness.
You just need to increase the progress of the Three Flowers to 100%, that is, when your Qi is full and you don't want to eat, your Essence is full and you don't want to have sex, and your Spirit is full and you don't want to sleep, then naturally it means that your practice has reached the highest level of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.
The five qi are another important goal of cultivation. The five qi refer to the qi of the five internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney. They correspond to spirit, soul, intention, spirit, and essence respectively, and are also divided into fire, wood, earth, metal, and water.
Chao Yuan refers to the Qi of the internal organs of the human body being combined into one, returning to their original positions, and achieving unobstructed meridians.
At that time, the body will naturally evolve and become immune to all evil and diseases.
If you want to exercise the five energies, the easiest way is to practice various martial arts. In traditional martial arts, whether it is internal or external boxing, or Southern boxing and Emei boxing, all the techniques can strengthen the five internal organs.
And the charm of boxing that Du Ruo experienced, for example, the horse-shaped collapse fist belongs to the wood among the five elements, and the eagle claw phantom in the eagle shape actually belongs to the gold among the five elements. As his understanding of the charm of boxing deepened, this is a way to keep the meridians unblocked and let the five qi return to their origin.
Du Ruo practiced traditional martial arts to strengthen the five energies, and then understood the charm of it, and the percentage of the five energies naturally increased.
"So, after the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, have I reached the pinnacle of my spiritual and physical training? Doesn't that mean I have reached the level of Taoist immortality?"
Du Ruo was a little confused. In the past, he had some understanding of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, but he did not have such a clear understanding as he did now. Now, after absorbing the knowledge given by the system, Du Ruo seemed to have seen a road to the sky.
"Can modern people really reach that level?"
Du Ruo felt like he was dreaming and kept asking all kinds of questions, but no one answered him. Only the panel in front of him seemed to tell him: everything is possible.
"Anyway, the road has appeared. No matter if there are immortals or gods at the end, I have to go up and take a look."
So Du Ruo stopped worrying about it and decided that he would be able to see it naturally when everything arrived.
Du Ruo went to the bathroom, stood under the faucet, let the cold water wash over his body, trying to use the cold water to force himself to calm down.
However, the effect of cold water seemed to be limited. Du Ruo did not sleep well the whole night, with complicated thoughts in his mind. This was the only time he tossed and turned in bed and had difficulty falling asleep since he acquired his skills and embarked on the path of martial arts. The change in the system this time had a huge impact on him, and even though he was mentally strong, he still found it difficult to accept.
……
At six o'clock in the morning, Du Ruo opened his eyes. His eyes were clear. He did not sleep the whole night, but there was no trace of sleep on his face and eyes.
After a night of thinking, Du Ruo calmed down again. The future was still unclear, and it didn't seem like he would be able to cultivate to the highest level immediately. It seemed too early to think so much now, so Du Ruo opened his eyes and returned to his life again.
As I said, he couldn't give up his current life just to practice martial arts. He was a little greedy.
After getting up and washing, Du Ruo looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and found that there seemed to be some changes in her body.
The eyeballs of his eyes are clearly black and white, without any other colors. His hair and eyebrows seem to be darker. The occasional white hair on his temples has disappeared. His face has become smoother and more delicate. The sagging of the skin after the age of thirty has disappeared, and the whole person seems to look more handsome.
Although Du Ruo's temperament changed greatly after practicing martial arts, before practicing martial arts Du Ruo had no posture when sitting or standing, and was a little hunched over.
