Chapter 10 First Knowledge

Although Sanmao seems to understand, he is working very hard to find a way to digest this knowledge. Red Pine Living Buddha sighed and then said, "Unfortunately, people rely too much on animal nerves and let the plant nerves flow freely. They have never asked about the coordination of their own internal organs. They will only go to the doctor when something goes wrong.

The so-called secret cultivation is to open the gap between consciousness and plant nerves through artificial environmental changes and respiratory changes, so that your consciousness can directly control your plant nerves. Many self-cultivation things are actually this principle, such as qigong and yoga, which are all through contact with nature. And adjust breathing to achieve the purpose of improving the internal environment, and make the internal and external coordination of the body become complete by improving the internal environment. This is the real health. Many people look strong on the outside, but in fact, the internal environment is a mess. They have always been in a sub-health state that they don't know, and diseases can bother them at any time.

After saying this in one breath, Red Pine Living Buddha saw that Sanmao was like a second-foot monk - he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that it is difficult for Sanmao to understand these theories. But this matter is not urgent. Therefore, the Red Pine Living Buddha decided to let Sanmao try to start the secret cultivation first, and then talk about this later!

So, the Red Pine Living Buddha said, "Now, do what I say, inhale - keep breathing - feel that your chest is expanding, and you can breathe more air - continue, don't stop - okay, hold your breath - hold on - hold on -"

According to the requirements of the Red Pine Living Buddha, Sanmao held his breath and began to blush in less than half a minute. Seeing this, the Red Pine Living Buddha said, "Okay - now start exhaling, slowly - slowly - try to slow down your speed - like feeling that the spring breeze spit out from your mouth, slowly, for a moment--" Sanmao stretched out his neck, exhaled uncompressing, and finally couldn't hold on, and choked, "I, I Come on, I'm out of breath!"

Red Pine Living Buddha said again, "Okay, take a breath, take a breath, spit quickly, spit out quickly, spit it all out quickly, do it again, suck hard, spit out immediately, okay, now you can resume your usual breathing." Red Pine Living Buddha asked Sanmao with a smile, "How do you feel now?"

Sanmao said, "I'm a little dizzy." Red Pine Living Buddha said, "What else?" Sanmao said, "My heart beats so fast!"

Red Pine Living Buddha said, "This is a fundamental technique of triccultation. Like Qigong yoga, it changes your internal environment through vomitting. Of course, what I taught you is not a real spitting technique, but a simple experiment to let you know that through the change of your animal nerves, you can adjust your plant nerves to make corresponding changes, and you don't have to try again in the future.

And our secret practice is to resist all external ** and adjust the body and mind to the highest level of consciousness control. In short, it is to let you learn to control your heartbeat and pulse, control your gastrointestinal peristalsis, and control the flow direction and flow of blood. When you reach a higher level, you can control your own skeletal joints. The separation and combination control the excretion and absorption of body fluids, and control the feelings caused by all external stimuli to the body.

Red Pine Living Buddha said: " Qigong is accepted to maintain health, as if from easy to difficult, from light to heavy, gradually strengthen the exercise of the body to resist diseases; yoga breathing is pleasant, through contact with nature to make you open-minded and happy, and achieve relief fatigue, so that The body is not easy to get diseases; and our intensive cultivation is to challenge the changing nature with a cruel body, just like a strong medicine to cut off the risk factors that are easy to cause disease in the body. Qigong and yoga can be practiced by everyone, because they go from simplicity to complexity, follow nature, it is easy to get started, and it is difficult for those who practice it. However, not everyone can practice it. It uses thunderous means to select qualified people through natural elimination at the beginning. People who can't meet the requirements often fall ill at the beginning of selection. Life is hard to heal, and there is also a fatal danger. Even if you can pass the selection, the future training will jump up by stairs, and you may fall to pieces at any time.

Sanmao was shocked when he heard the words, "Is it so dangerous?"

Red Pine Living Buddha nodded and said, "Plant nerves follow nature, and the first step for us practitioners to control the plant nerves with consciousness is to violate nature. Many people's bodies can't pass this test, and the consequences are terrible. Let me give you a simple example. There was once a strong monk who wanted to practice secretly, and I tested him with hungry ghosts. You should also know that when people are hungry, they will want to eat. This is a natural physiological reaction. The so-called hungry ghost is to resist hunger. Who knows, only four hours later, he can't resist fainting. Although after full rescue, he has not been saved in the end.

Sanmao doubted, "How is that possible? It's very simple to fight hunger. Even if an ordinary person doesn't eat for four or five hours, there won't be any big problems?

The Red Pine Living Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Do you think the test of hungry ghosts is as simple as you think?"

Under Sanmao's suspicious eyes, Chisong Living Buddha slowly explained: "The instinct of hunger does not come from the habit of eating a meal in a few hours. People will feel hungry, which is a complex physiological process.

You also know that people are moving all the time. Even if you sit, you lie still, your heart is still jumping, and your blood is still flowing. What they need and energy is needed. And part of what we eat is transformed into the ability needed by these organs. First, it is divided into small parts, then finer, and finally turns into sugars and transported to various organs. Under the action of the cells of organs, hydrocarbons and other substances are decomposed for the body to burn and release heat energy.

When the body uses up the energy raised by food, it sends a signal to the brain through the autonomic nerves to indicate hunger. At this time, the organs of the whole body sent a signal of fatigue without motivation, and the empty stomach sent a signal that needed to be filled, and the intestine that kept wriggling for a moment also sent a signal that it needed to find a job.

So, you will feel weak, so you will feel hungry, so you will feel like a drum. And the test of our secret practitioner is that when you are hungry, you will run slowly around a round table, and on the round table, you will continue to put your favorite food that has just come out of the pot--

"Ah..." Sanmao shouted. This test was too cruel. Running with hunger and looking at the most delicious and accessible food, which is too demanding for willpower. It can last for four hours, which has indeed reached the physiological limit, but Yes, how did he die?

Red Pine Living Buddha continued: "Food will always change to ensure its freshness and impact on your visual sense of smell. And a hungry person, out of an instinctive physiological reaction, will secrete gastric acid, which is a strong acid with a pH value of 1. There is a layer of mucous membrane inside the stomach, which will protect your stomach from being swallowed by this strong acid. However, if you keep enduring hunger and let the gastric acid continue to secrete--

Sanmao's eyes widened, and he already knew what the Red Pine Living Buddha was going to tell him. Red Pine Living Buddha said with great pity, "Alas, the monk was too patient to control his internal organs. When we opened his abdominal cavity, one-third of his internal organs had been corroded by his own gastric acid. The cause of his death can be said to be - he ate himself because of hunger!"

There is a trace of fear on Sanmao's face at this time. It seems that he now has a new understanding of the secret cultivation.

How's it going? Is it terrible?" Red Pine Living Buddha asked with a smile.

"Terrible!" Sanmao answered without hesitation.

"Do you want to give up?"

"Give up? Who said he would give up? What Sanmao has determined has never been completed!" Sanmao was first surprised, and then said with a firm face.

"Okay, okay, okay! He is worthy of being my disciple of Chisong! It's worthy of being the last inheritor of this secret cultivation!" Red Pine Living Buddha said three good things in a row, which was enough to show the excitement in his heart at this time.
