Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique
Chapter 170 Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique
"Brother, how can I awaken my senses and nourish my Yin?"
Chen Miao humbly sought advice.
It was only then that he realized the importance of passing on traditions.
In the process of inheritance, techniques are important, but the experience of our predecessors is even more important!
Although the master leads you through the door, the practice depends on yourself.
But having a master and not having a master makes a big difference.
"There is a general method for this, and that is to test it."
"Use your yin energy to probe and infiltrate little by little. If you don't encounter any obstacles, continue."
Zhong Cai spoke with great seriousness.
"Remember, don't rush. Even if it's a little slower, it's better than something going wrong."
"If you encounter any obstacles and experience discomfort in the affected area during the infiltration process, you must stop."
"We'll try again after we feel better for a while."
"If the same thing happens after three tries, then try a different approach."
Chen Miao nodded, then asked, "Can we only try three times?"
Zhong Cai looked at Chen Miao with a serious expression.
"I know what you're thinking. Everyone has a gambling instinct; everyone thinks that if they try again, they might succeed."
"In fact, there is indeed a gamble involved in getting to the point."
"Some people may succeed on the fourth, fifth, or tenth attempt, but most of them ruin their own path because of this gambling mentality."
"Three times is the safest number of times, as concluded by our ancestors."
"The chances of problems occurring in the first three times are very small, but once you've gone through three times, an unpredictable crisis could arise at any time."
Seeing Zhong Cai's serious expression, Chen Miao nodded.
"I understand, I won't joke around with my health."
Chen Miao would be even more cautious than Zhong Cai about this matter, because his path is not limited to entering the underworld, and there is no need for him to fall into this trap.
Seeing Chen Miao's attitude, Zhong Cai was also very satisfied, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Actually, some people believe that which of the nine orifices can be nourished is determined by birth, saying it is a kind of talent, but this talent can only be seen when entering the Yin realm."
"Some people may succeed within three attempts, regardless of which of the nine orifices they have."
"It's like a person with a congenital heart disease. They have three chances, but it's not suitable for such a person. As long as they choose to stay in a 'heart-protecting cave,' they will be in danger every time."
“Some people are born with nine orifices that cannot nourish yin. Even if such a person is a genius in magic, they cannot go any further if they cannot nourish yin.”
"Such geniuses usually refuse to accept their fate. They either fail during the process of enlightenment, switch to other fields, or even go astray."
Chen Miao listened attentively and thought about many things.
For example, that evil female practitioner from before.
Was the art of raising livestock her only option after she was unable to enter the underworld?
If so, there are probably quite a few such people within the cult.
"If you want to open up your acupoints and nourish your Yin in the future, my suggestion is to try all the acupoints first and see which ones you can open within three times."
"Then, from these techniques, choose the one that best aligns with your lineage!"
"Your incense burning method would be very suitable if it could open the sublingual folds."
"Of course, most people can only grasp one aspect of it and have no choice at all."
"This is also why many traditions decline as they are passed down. Without the key to their own lineage, the power of their techniques will be greatly reduced."
At this point, Zhong Cai sighed inwardly.
He's in his forties; he still has a chance to live on.
But once they're raised, whether they can develop good skills, or even whether they can develop any skills at all, is a question.
"By the way, these are common methods."
"Some families and sects, due to issues of inheritance, have only cultivated a few specific skills over thousands of years. Naturally, they will have more sophisticated methods for unlocking these skills."
"But these are things that others cannot know."
Chen Miao nodded, once again acknowledging the importance of passing on traditions.
"How can I be sure I've successfully entered the underworld?"
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "When you find that you can use the yin energy within your orifice as a guide to stir up the yin energy in the surrounding environment, that means you have successfully entered the yin realm."
"Furthermore, when you have been nourishing your Yin for a period of time, you will find that the abilities corresponding to those acupoints are gradually manifesting in your body, and then you will know."
Chen Miao was stunned for a moment.
That means that after entering the Yin state, he can gather Yin energy without needing to be in a Yin-gathering state.
It seems to be of little use...
"Thanks, brother. With your explanation, I've really learned a lot."
“If I really did enter the underworld, without what you said, brother, I’m afraid I would be in big trouble.” Zhong Cai waved his hand.
"We don't talk about this between us."
Zhong Cai then told Chen Miao some other miscellaneous points that needed attention, which Chen Miao noted down one by one.
"Is your injury any better? I also have some unique ointments here. They may not be as effective as the medicines from the Bureau, but they don't cost any points."
Chen Miao smiled and said, "Then thank you, brother."
Zhong Cai got up and took a stack of homemade plasters from the house for Chen Miao.
"I brought you twenty pieces. This stuff isn't difficult to make, it just takes a long time. I'll make more next time I make it."
Chen Miao smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to put the plaster away, he suddenly saw Zhong Cai take out another folded piece of paper.
This scene seemed familiar.
"This is the Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique. It's not anything precious. You can practice it and nurture it for three years. It will still be a useful skill."
Chen Miao was stunned.
"Brother, what you're doing..."
Zhong Cai waved his hand.
“I’ve already said, we don’t talk about this between us. Without you, all these things of mine would be buried in Fengmen Village.”
Chen Miao looked at the paper, then stood up.
"Hey bro, I'm going to get something from the car."
After saying that, Chen Miao turned around and walked outside.
Zhong Cai seemed to have guessed what Chen Miao wanted to exchange for it, and immediately wanted to say no.
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he hesitated.
What if he guessed wrong?
Saying "No need" would be like reminding Chen Miao to exchange something for it.
Zhong Cai sat down with some hesitation, and made up his mind that if Chen Miao really tried to exchange something for him, he would definitely not accept it.
Thinking this, Zhong Cai patted Xiao Bai's head.
“Xiaobai, your Uncle Chen Miao is a trustworthy person. This kind of person always wants to repay others tenfold when they do something for them.”
"But actually, we help him not for anything in return, right?"
Zhong Cai smiled as he looked at Xiao Bai's bewildered eyes.
"It's okay if you don't understand now; you'll gradually understand in the future."
As they were talking, Chen Miao had already returned.
"Brother, you can keep this."
"Chen Miao..."
Just as Zhong Cai was about to say something, he saw Chen Miao take something out of his bag.
Zhong Cai's gaze was like iron drawn to a strong magnet; no matter how hard he tried to look away, he couldn't.
“Brother, your peach wood sword was destroyed before, right? I happen to have a hundred-year-old peach wood here, you should be able to use it.”
"Gulp... Chen Miao, this is too valuable."
Zhong Cai didn't know why he changed the words he was about to say into this sentence.
Chen Miao smiled and said, "We don't talk about these things between us."
As he spoke, Chen Miao put the plaster and the Tianxin Suoyang Secret Technique into his bag.
"Besides, you can use the leftover scraps of this century-old peach wood to make some peach charms or other items for Xiaobai, as a gift from me to Xiaobai."
Zhong Cai opened his mouth, then said with difficulty, "Then, thank you, brother."
"Where is it."
Chen Miao smiled.
The two then chatted about Fengmen Village and other random things.
"Brother, I have to go. I haven't been back to the funeral home in a long time, I need to go back and take a look."
Chen Miao said after checking the time.
"Okay, okay, then I'll take you there."
Watching Chen Miao drive away, Zhong Cai patted Xiao Bai's head.
"Xiao Bai, although sometimes the purpose of doing certain things is not to seek reward, when you treat people with sincerity, you will naturally meet people who treat you with sincerity."
Zhong Cai smiled as he looked at Xiao Bai's bewildered eyes.
"It's okay if you don't understand now; you'll gradually understand in the future."
Zhong Cai gripped the century-old peach wood tightly in his hand and led Xiao Bai back to the courtyard.
