In the past half year, Shi Xuan also quietly visited Fang, mother and son, and the three ghosts, and they were having a good time. Xu Tianqi kept his promise and followed Shi Xuan's instructions that day. He invited an old monk to pretend to surrender the evil spirits here. Then he donated money on behalf of the Xu family to transform the house into a temple to worship the gods who could suppress evil spirits and eliminate disasters. After praying for blessings, Pudu Bodhisattva, commonly known as Fang Yu, and the boys and girls under his seat, finally asked the old monk to hold a grand ceremony to consecrate the temple. Privately, he wrote various rumors about Pudu Bodhisattva into scripts and dramas, and spread them around the city. At the same time, he also shouldered the task of collecting Shinto teachings.
Because it was a renovation, the temple was completed in just over four months. When Shi Xuan went there, he saw that Fang's mother and son had switched to using incense to maintain their bodies, and their whole souls had lost a strong spooky smell. Even if they appeared in front of people at night, they would not be regarded as ghosts immediately, and because You can't practice with the power of incense and aspiration. There are always two hours every day when you are surrounded by smoke. If there is golden light, auspicious clouds, and beautiful sounds, your appearance will look like a real god.
Fang was very grateful to Shi Xuan, acting like a cow and a horse, but Shi Xuan didn't take it to heart. He only did a little work, or even just moved his mouth. Xu Tianqi arranged most of the things. Fang and Xu Tianqi didn't think so. Without Shi Xuan's guidance on the mysteries of Shinto and the role of sacrifice, they couldn't figure out how to arrange it even if they tried. Even before that, they didn't understand why the world paid so much attention to sacrifice. Simply They thought it was an expression of filial piety to their ancestors, and they did not associate sacrifices with temple prayers.
They think so, and Shi Xuan can't stop it. He can't say that he just understood it after reading a few notes of Taoist seniors collected by Xu Laodao. This is just the most basic knowledge in Taoism, and it is not covered in the explanation. The specific question of how to practice Shinto. If I really wanted to explain, I might have to take out a few notebooks and show them to them, which would be very troublesome.
Of course, Shi Xuan did not see Xu Tianqi. As expected, this guy stayed at home and practiced martial arts with peace of mind. He only came once with many elders in the family on the day of the temple's consecration. All his words to Shi Xuan were conveyed through Fang. of. Mu Jin was also pulled by Xu Tianqi to practice martial arts every day until he almost cried.
Meng Yuqiong and Xu Jinyi left Xia'an Mansion more than two months ago and returned to Luojing. According to Xu Tianqi, these two girls, especially Xu Jinyi, have been secretly inquiring about Shi Xuan's residence. However, the existence of Xu Laodao was only known to a few elders of the Xu family and the group of children who were originally sent to practice martial arts. The elders must have known about it. They can keep secrets. Those children are either no longer in the family, or they have been warned by Xu Tianqi in private. In addition, it is a secret in the first place, so they were not able to find out Shi Xuan's whereabouts until they left.
Shi Xuan was a little disappointed. Originally, he had hoped that Xu Jinyi would come to visit her after the news about the Xia family was over. He was not greedy for beauty, but just wanted to see if she had the talent, patience and perseverance to practice Taoism. If If she has it, she can pass on Xu Laodao's tradition to her. By looking at Du Bai's memory fragments, Shi Xuan learned that Xu Laodao had always hoped that there would be someone in the family who could inherit his Taoism, but he never found one, so he gave up his wish. What Shi Xuan is practicing now is not the "Gui Zhen Jing". Naturally, I hope to find someone to pass on this tradition, and it would be even better if it could be someone from the Xu family.
Since she didn't come, Shi Xuan didn't force it. It only meant that she didn't have the opportunity. If she saw someone with talent, patience and perseverance in the future, it wouldn't be too late to pass it on.
In the past six months, Yaxing has brought people to see the yard one after another. However, Shi Xuan is not short of money now and is not willing to spend time looking for a new place to live, so he has been putting it off and planned to wait until he left. Sold.
At Haishi, in the dead of night, Shi Xuan sat on a futon with his legs crossed and his five hearts facing the sky, following the route of the "Yushu Twelve Rivers, Eight Lakes and Seventy-two Great Rivers" to transport the inner Qi through the twelve meridians. , the eight extraordinary meridians and the seventy-one small meridians, the inner energy gradually condensed, and then under the command of Shi Xuan's will, it impacted the node of the last meridian. Although the inner energy was like a tide, the node was as solid as It was blocked there like a levee, and I tried to attack it three times in succession, but failed.
Shi Xuan did not expect that this last meridian would be so difficult to open. After opening the 71st meridian, it was expected that the acquired Great Zhoutian would be achieved within half a month, but now a month and a half later, it still cannot be opened. This last meridian. Fortunately, Shi Xuan's Qingfeng Mingyue Shen Zhenfa is still making great progress. Although he still hasn't touched the threshold of the peak of the soul-strengthening stage, his soul strength has been greatly enhanced, and he has also made significant progress in controlling his emotions, so Shi Xuan is not disappointed now. Shrouded in impatience.
Shi Xuan stopped moving his Qi, calmed down the emotions that had just surged, and then clarified his thoughts and entered concentration, planning to practice today's visualization lesson before practicing Qi.
The bright moon shines down and the breeze blows. Shi Xuan feels that his soul is getting stronger and more ethereal as he nourishes and removes impurities again and again. He feels that his divine consciousness can control every corner of his soul and everything is under his control. .
Shi Xuan was suddenly alert, his thoughts suddenly heightened, and he looked down at his soul. Unexpectedly, he was a little impatient and almost went crazy. In the visualization, if it appeared that he could control every corner or something similar, It feels like that is a precursor to becoming obsessed.
Fortunately, Shi Xuan has always cooperated with the method of visualization and practice according to the true method of knowing God and collecting thoughts, so he was able to be alert and get rid of his thoughts at the critical moment. After waiting for a moment and calming down, Shi Xuan started to visualize again.
After visualizing, Shi Xuan did not expect that after this near-obsession, his soul would actually become more transparent, with faint light coming out. He had never thought of the peak of the soul-strengthening stage, but now he seemed to have touched some thresholds, no longer I can't find my direction like before.
After withdrawing from Dingzhong, Shi Xuan did not immediately transfer his inner energy. Instead, he got up and practiced the small boxing technique collected by Xu Laodao in the small room. The wind of the fist restrained, the steps moved, and a set of punches came down. Shi Xuan was sweating slightly, but his spirit was exceptionally calm.
Seeing that after the previous set of boxing techniques, Shi Xuan had adjusted his body and mind to the best, he sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and moved his inner energy again. During this movement of qi, Shi Xuan restrained all thoughts of opening up the meridians, as if he had forgotten about it, and simply controlled the movement of his inner qi.
Shi Xuan felt that his twelve main meridians were twelve rivers. Seventy-two rivers continuously merged into the rivers, while eight large lakes regulated the rivers and rivers. If there was more water in the rivers, the rivers would flow into the lakes. , if there is less water in the river, the lake water will flow into the river; if there is more water in the river, the river water will flow into the lake; if there is less water in the river, the lake water will flow into the river. Between the breaths, the body seemed to become a complete whole, but there was a flaw that conspicuously appeared there.
Naturally, the inner energy accumulated and rushed towards the last meridian. Shi Xuan's newly powerful soul could control this inner energy more easily than before, making it thinner and faster. Rush towards that node. Shi Xuan seemed to feel a roar resounding in his body, and the accumulated inner energy had already opened up the node, expanding and nourishing the meridians. Shi Xuan endured the numb and itchy feeling, letting his inner energy pass through this meridian, and finally rushed back into the river. The true energy in the body flows endlessly, like an arm moving fingers, freely and freely.
Controlling the internal energy to calm down, but not interrupting the natural circulation of the internal energy, is one of the signs of the acquired Great Zhoutian. If the internal energy can circulate on its own, it will not be afraid of cold or heat, and will be able to defend itself naturally when encountering enemies. Under normal circumstances, you don't need to deliberately mobilize your inner energy to make moves, as your movements will be natural.
Shi Xuan opened his eyes and felt that the dim and flickering candlelight in front of him was warm and stable. He seemed to be able to hear the distant sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, the water, and the clouds, and saw the sound of the wind whirling in the air. In the small swirl, I saw the flying dust and sensed the movement in the small yard.
Finally, the day after tomorrow was achieved, and it was finally time to leave here.
Although it's time to leave here, Shi Xuan still has a lot of things and items to deal with, so he can't leave for a while.
In the next few months, Shi Xuan was busy dealing with the debris in the yard and consolidating his cultivation, because all he needed to take away were two sets of clothes (including one for himself), silver, Guizhen Sutra, talismans, There were mirrors, special incense sticks, a few utensils used in the practice, and a few Taoist notebooks, so there were a lot of other sundries that needed to be dealt with, such as Xu Laodao’s clothes and belongings. Shi Xuan took them to his grave and burned them, and then paid homage to him. After some sacrifices, it was considered farewell.
All the materials for talisman seal scripts have been transformed into talisman seal scripts during this period. In addition to the sixteen talisman seal scripts left by Xu Laodao, Shi Xuan has also drawn about thirty of them, plus the remaining ones he used. There are a total of sixty-five talisman and seal scripts drawn by Du Bai before. However, the talismans were not placed in the package. They were placed in hidden pockets on the sleeves of the Taoist robes, on the waist and in the arms for easy access.
Shi Xuan destroyed all the utensils used to make medicinal soups and medicinal baths, and then took them to the outskirts and buried them all using a soil-gathering technique. In short, artifacts related to Taoism are treated in this way. Shi Xuan gave the extra clothes to beggars on the street.
In addition, when he took people to see the yard again three months after Yaxing, Shi Xuan did not bargain anymore and sold it according to the buyer's price of two hundred and seventy taels of silver. After registering the house deed and paying taxes at the yamen, plus the income from Yaxing, Shi Xuan finally got two hundred and twenty-nine taels. In this way, Shi Xuan had a total of two hundred and thirty-five taels of silver and some copper plates.
In this way, one day in March, Shi Xuan carried his parcel on his back and followed the crowds of people, stepping out of the city gate of Xia'an Mansion, leaving the place where he had stayed for more than a year, and embarked on his journey to seek immortality. The path of seeking the truth.
