Chapter 642 17: Gluttonous Technique, Temple of the Five Viscera (Part 2)
The monk Not Greedy smiled and said, "It's all on you."
"When I meet the Buddha in the future, I'll say the same."
The monk No Abstention was overjoyed. Recently, he had been pondering how to outshine that demoness. The youth was still finding his way, and if the demoness seduced him, it would all be over.
It was around midday.
The monk Not Greedy sat down, as usual, the young man had prepared a large table of food and drink. However, upon hearing the next words, the young man was surprised and said, "Master Not Greedy wants to teach me martial arts?"
Oh?
Why does it feel like the East is favorable for me, meeting all these extraordinary individuals eager to form a good relationship?
The monk Not Greedy was rather carefree, nodding and saying, "The world is chaotic today, and with your astonishing talent, you will make great accomplishments in the future."
"I have a Secret Technique named the Technique of the Glutton."
"If you are interested, you can learn it. In the future, should the world fall into hardship, I only hope you remember that I imparted the technique to you today."
Upon hearing this, the young man also became serious and nodded slowly, "I will certainly keep it in mind."
This monk Not Greedy always had an aura somewhat similar to Lu Shanjun.
The monk No Abstention got up to leave, but the monk Not Greedy shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother, stay."
"Teaching one is teaching, teaching two is also teaching."
"Lady Benefactor,"
"If you are interested, feel free to stay and listen."
Lady Jade Face wanted to get up and leave, but upon hearing this, she sat back with a playful smile. The monk Not Greedy's cultivation was extremely high, and even if she couldn't master this Secret Technique, gaining some related insights from listening would be beneficial.
The monk Not Greedy preferred to resolve karmic ties without leaving any earthly connections. It was somewhat similar to Lu Shanjun having no debts of gratitude.
These last few days of indulging in food and drink, Lady Jade Face had also prepared diligently.
This great monk poured himself a cup of wine, slightly opened his mouth, the wine entered mid-air, he joyfully drank it all, and humbly said, "This Secret Technique is something I created myself; it cannot be considered profound."
"It mainly trains the five internal organs of the human body, corresponding the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys to the Divine Soul."
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon mentions the spirit dwelling in the five organs: the heart houses the spirit, the lungs house the soul, the liver houses the temperament, the spleen houses the intention, and the kidneys house the will."
He turned to look at Duncan and praised, "Your temperament is extremely strong."
"And you have gathered the form of a tiger."
"You must have received guidance from an expert. Practicing this Dharma Gate will only yield better results."
Tiger Soul.
Even though he hadn't met Lu Shanjun, the monk Not Greedy could detect a hint from the youth's essence, energy, and spirit. The soul was so strong that not even the bull-headed or horse-faced spirits could take away the youth's three souls and seven spirits.
As soon as the monk Not Greedy spoke, Lady Jade Face turned serious—this was no ordinary Dharma Gate.
It even had a feel of ancient Secret Techniques.
The monk Not Greedy continued, "The five organs are temples; the spirit transforms into Qi—heart fire is the ruler, kidney water is the foundation, the rotation of the five Qi opens the path to the Heavenly Dao."
"If the liver wood is not flourishing, miasma will arise; if the lung metal is weak, Qi will disperse and功 will collapse."
"To practice my method, the five Qi must rotate."
"Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys."
"None can be missing."
An expert's words immediately betray their depth.
This great monk was too humble.
The three people present all wore grave expressions, remembering it well.
The foundation of monk Not Greedy is much stronger than Lu Shanjun!
Lu Shanjun was self-taught, and while the Dharma Gates he taught the youth sometimes hit the mark by luck, the fundamental doctrine was not clear. If someone with less talent were to practice, they would surely suffer Qi deviation.
The Dharma Gates of monk Not Greedy, however, could be learned by anyone but were extremely difficult to master.
"The kidney temple is the arcane water guide."
"The ocean's tides belong to the cold abyss, the water of Kan condenses essence, aiding me to reverse the heavenly river!"
"The heart temple is the karma fire forge."
"The seven emotions are kindling, deluded thoughts are flames! Burn away karmic obstacles, and reveal the glassy heart!"
"The spleen temple is the transformation of impure earth."
"Ingest a hundred poisons as soil, transform the five grains into essence, the Earth God governs the center, everything is my food!"
.........
The monk Not Greedy spoke faster and faster, and all three people present tried their utmost to remember. After chanting the Magic Formulas, he taught them breathing techniques— "With Xu print (liver), with He print (heart), with Hu print (spleen), with Si print (lungs), with Chui print (kidneys)."
Five Qi cycles, five elements give birth to each other.
But for some unknown reason, everyone present felt something was missing, as if this technique were incomplete.
Monk Not Greedy poured himself another cup of wine, drank it happily, and then embarrassingly said, "My master says I have innate wisdom, but I actually don't remember much."
"This Technique of the Glutton is not yet complete."
"After training the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, there ought to be a way to condense the spirit, soul, mind, intention, and will."
"It's a pity that I am shallow in knowledge and can only stop here."
Self-mockingly, Monk Not Greedy added with a smile, "I originally intended to name this practice Five Organs Temple, but I mainly practice the Spleen Temple, and also train in the Sleeping Dream Arhat Skill."
"All day, all I do is eat and sleep; how fitting for a glutton."
He gazed at the youth before him with a look of anticipation, "With your astonishing talent, if you can complete this practice after entering the Dao, come find me at Baima Monastery."
This was definitely not a martial Dharma Gate.
The more Lady Jade Face listened, the more shocked she became. The ability of monk Not Greedy to eat and sleep so much was because he internally practiced the five organs, reaching an extraordinary level.
If this practice is successful, entering the Dao would not be so simple.
It could be called 'attaining the Dao.'
Currently, Daoist alchemy practices are flourishing, and this method of ritualizing the five organs was very similar to the ancient secret techniques she had seen before.
How strange.
This monk Not Greedy seemed to have a predestined kinship with the Daoist sect. His self-created Technique of the Glutton, though not complete, bore the shadow of Daoist influence, yet he had joined the Buddhist sect and even became an esoteric disciple.
The three present knew they couldn't practice it all in one breath.
Lady Jade Face could only practice the Kidney Temple; the Kan water condensed essence, and it just so happened she had mysterious Yin True Qi. With this method, she could greatly improve the efficiency of refining essence into Qi, but if she practiced ritualizing the five organs, her eating capabilities would surely increase unless, like ancient cultivators, she could live off the wind and dew, or else they would all need to be able to eat and sleep well.
