In April, Shi Xuan didn’t have much interaction with his neighbors. That is to say, they would say a few words when they went out to eat every day. Aunt Zhang mentioned her daughter several times, but Shi Xuan’s reaction was indifferent, so she didn’t say anything again. mentioned. I just chatted with the neighbors about some gossip, such as the emperor recruiting Taoist people from all over the world to compile Taoist books; Jiang Xueshi wrote another popular poem in Hangzhou; It is retold every day and is very popular; there is a Chixia Shenjun temple in Liangzhou that is very effective in seeking marriage, but it is too far away; the widow surnamed Wu across the street has remarried a businessman from the Western Regions, with a high nose and deep eyes, which is scary; and what about Mr. Zhang and Li The wife of the Wang family loves to be lazy and so on.
On this early morning in October in late autumn, Shi Xuan drank the Qianyuan Marrow Changing Soup and began to practice the Ten Dragons Subduing Demon Fist in the small courtyard. After practicing for so long, he entered the state quickly and became clearer. Grasp the feeling of body and soul.
Barbarian dragon turns waist, Qinglong Fubo, Fire dragon burns the sky, White dragon freezes the sea, each punch makes the body get a deeper workout, but the feeling of not grasping the essence is getting stronger and stronger. I haven't crossed this threshold in four months, and there seems to be a feeling of anger in my heart that I can't express.
When the Canglong soared into the sky, he suddenly entered a state of emptiness and darkness. His fists followed his heart, his heart followed his mind, and his mind followed his soul's thoughts. Essence, energy, spirit, and soul seemed to be closely connected. That kind of certainty The feeling of being unable to hold back the essence seemed to be broken at once. Shi Xuan concentrated all his strength, drank loudly, and struck out with a black dragon splashing in the water. It was like breaking a layer of barriers. At the same time, he felt a majestic, ancient, profound and profound feeling. , the breath of the dragon that seemed to be able to control the water in the air was released with this punch.
After the punch was struck, Shi Xuan's bones rang softly, and the sound lasted for a while before stopping. It was a sign that the strength penetrated the bone marrow and penetrated every joint. This was a sign of great physical training. Shi Xuan could only control his muscles and bones, but now he feels that his soul power has greatly increased, he is more sensitive, and he can control the depths of his bones and the subtle corners of his body.
At this time, many hot air rose from the bone marrow and penetrated into the internal organs. Shi Xuan was overjoyed and did not dare to neglect. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, controlling the hot air to travel through the five internal organs, pass through the twelve meridians, and finally return to the Dantian. among. Then he closed his eyes and called it a day. His face was filled with joy, and he actually took this opportunity to break through to the stage of nourishing his energy and strengthening his soul.
At the same time, because the physical body had mastered the Eight Extraordinary Meridians before, just because the soul died, the original inner energy also dissipated. This means that Shi Xuan no longer needs to work hard to open up the eight extraordinary meridians one by one, saving a lot of time.
Generally speaking, it takes about fifteen years for an internal master in the martial arts to accumulate inner energy and open up the eight extraordinary meridians. This requires good qualifications, not being addicted to other things, and practicing hard. Those with poor qualifications will take longer. Therefore, there are many internal masters who cannot open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians throughout their lives. As for the kind of talent and adventure, it will take seven or eight years to complete.
Why was Du Bai able to open up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in just three years? There are three reasons: First, what you are practicing is the true teachings of Taoism. Compared with the profound martial arts secrets, there is a world of difference, a world of difference. Secondly, Taoist Kung Fu is highly cultivated, and fighting still relies on spells, talismans, seals, magical weapons, etc. However, no matter what the internal strength of martial arts is, it still has the effect of seriously injuring the enemy. Nourishment will strengthen the soul, and if the soul is strong, you can control the internal Qi better. If the internal Qi is controlled, the effect of opening up the meridians will be much better. Although internal strength still has the effect of nourishing the soul, it is mainly aimed at injuring people and repelling the enemy. Nourishing the soul is By the way, different purposes have different effects. Thirdly, Du Bai himself has very good qualifications, otherwise he would not be accepted as a disciple by Xu Laodao.
Since Shi Xuan has entered the Qi-nourishing period, the medicinal soup and medicinal bath can be stopped. This natural state of entering the Qi-nourishing period means that the body has reached a limit at this stage. Going beyond it will be harmful. What follows is It accumulates internal energy, transforms the body's essence, and at the same time naturally replenishes the body, slowly strengthening the physical body. At the same time, more meat should be eaten every day to meet the needs of practicing Qi. After the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians are filled with internal qi, other small meridians are opened up to form a acquired circulation. This is the peak state of the qi-nourishing stage.
At this time, Shi Xuan’s soul strength can also be visualized. However, Shi Xuan did not immediately go back to the house to meditate, because cultivation matters were slow and urgent. Shi Xuan finally broke through the realm. It was when he was full of joy that it would be harmful to force himself to calm down and meditate.
Moreover, Shi Xuan has always had a sense of crisis since he came to this world. His own strength is not enough to protect himself, so he rarely goes out except to eat and buy medicine. He is holding back his energy to improve his strength, otherwise he will go out. When something happens and you don't have the corresponding strength to back you up, you will inevitably feel aggrieved. This can be regarded as a symptom of the sequelae of time travellers.
Now that Shi Xuan has finally broken through to the Qi-nurturing stage, he is considered a master in the world. With the addition of magic spells and seals, it is more than enough to protect himself. Most of the pressure has been relieved in his heart, so this is the time for Shi Xuan to relax. It is not suitable to practice Qigong during rest.
Shi Xuan sat on the ground with his back against the small well. In his right hand he held a small pot of rice wine from Xu Laodao's room, and in his left hand he held a volume of "The Golden Guild Talks about Zhu" collected by Xu Laodao and left by a Taoist senior. "Everything About Ghosts and Gods" not only talks about what heretic ghosts and gods are, but also gives various anecdotes about ghosts and ghosts, which has a strong flavor of a Chinese fairy tale. At this time, the autumn air is crisp and the breeze is blowing. I read a page or two of the book, take a sip of rice wine, and when I am excited, I shake my head and head, and I have plenty of time to read Huang Ting's Carefree.
There is no reincarnation for people in this world after death. If there is no one to offer sacrifices, the soul will slowly lose its memory after seven days, slowly transform into the world after ten days, and completely dissipate after a hundred days, unless there is a big disaster. Resentment and obsession, or encountering a place of Yin Qi, can stabilize the soul body and turn it into a Yin ghost. However, the soul of a Taoist monk is counterattacked by heaven and earth, and his soul will be destroyed when his body dies. Only those who practice to the Yin God stage can resist this kind of heavenly way. . Therefore, people in the world perform multiple sacrifices, and sharing the sacrifices and sacrifices of the same family can keep the soul immortal for several years. The more people perform sacrifices, the longer the immortality time will be. However, unless one can understand the method of transforming the incense and aspiration of the sacrifice into one's own path, , otherwise it will not take more than a hundred years at most. These souls who are sacrificed are collectively called ghosts and gods.
Those who have great resentment and obsession gradually become ghosts. Their obsession is revenge, and their behavior depends on their obsession. There are very few who are sane and sober, and of course there are a few who are not fierce because of their obsession. That kind of person still maintains his sanity, but the cultivation is unconscious. Generally speaking, the older he gets, the better he becomes. Those who have no sanity will gradually gain wisdom after ten years. Those who encounter the land of Yin Qi will slowly become Yin ghosts like before, but the difference is that they have no obsession with revenge and have sanity and wisdom, but there is no inheritance of cultivation. To survive, one must eat blood, food, Yang Qi, or the power of the soul. These two kinds of souls and the souls that survived a hundred days ago are collectively called heretic ghosts and gods.
Because they need blood, Yang Qi, or soul power, heretic ghosts and gods often harm people. However, if they are not cultivated enough, they will often be unable to get close to someone with strong Qi and blood, and they will be killed if they get close. The strong Qi and blood will burn their Yin-surnamed souls, and in severe cases, they will be wiped out in ashes. At the same time, the heretic ghosts and gods who have not practiced to the out-of-body stage often take advantage of the cultivators' cultivation to arouse their emotions and arouse their inner demons, thus leading them to become possessed and giving them the opportunity to absorb the power of the cultivators' souls.
The ability of heretic ghosts and gods to arouse other people's emotions is their talent, and they can be used from a long distance. Therefore, there are three main ways to deal with this kind of talent: one is to arrange a formation to isolate the inside and outside, but Shi Xuan does not know how to do this now; the other is to concentrate on practicing and avoid distracting thoughts in concentration. This method of stimulating emotions cannot What effect does it have? Third, there is a magic weapon that suppresses the soul attribute, but Shi Xuan doesn't have it either.
Having said that, the Ningshen Sandalwood secretly made by Xu Laodao can also help focus the mind and slightly suppress the heretic ghosts and gods. So in general, as long as Shi Xuan does not think randomly when practicing, there will be nothing dangerous. And as long as you are not distracted, if something goes wrong and your soul is hurt, you have to exit the concentration immediately.
Shi Xuan had a pleasant day, and by the evening, he had calmed down and his whole state had reached its peak. Bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, and worshiping heaven and earth. Through this series of steps, the heart and spirit will reach an ethereal and calm state. Of course, when you become more proficient in it later, or when you have advanced in cultivation, you won't need to be so complicated. Step by step, you can often reach this ethereal and calm state after exhaling and inhaling.
Shi Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and concentrated, holding Yuan Shouyi in his arms, and soon entered concentration. After entering concentration, I began to visualize the divine will of the clear breeze and bright moon as described in the "True Dharma of Clear Breeze and Bright Moon Illuminating God" contained in "Baolu". For the first few times, I always got halfway through the visualization and had other thoughts, and then failed. , just like ordinary people who want to concentrate on one thing, but always scatter their thoughts, and then wake up and return to the same place.
Shi Xuan was not discouraged, knowing that this was normal, and began to practice the method of restraining thoughts contained in the "Qingfengmingyuezhaoshen Zhenfa", imagining that he was his own superior master, looking down on his many Thoughts, many thoughts come and go, filling the entire sea of consciousness. As the master, I make these thoughts converge in the sea of consciousness and no longer rise and fall.
Here, we do not mean to eliminate all thoughts. If we eliminate all thoughts, I am afraid that in the end we will become a stone without thoughts or feelings. What is emphasized here is the absoluteness of the God. Control, from above, control these thoughts and stop them from rising and falling. They can calmly watch the thoughts disappear and arise but cannot escape the scope of control. Therefore, the highest state that needs to be achieved here is not "a single thought does not give rise to the realm of emptiness", but "a single thought cannot bring about the realm of emptiness". This is exactly what one sentence of true teaching is, but thousands of books are fake. At the same time, this is also the great way to know the true God.
According to this method, Shi Xuan subdued all kinds of thoughts in the ethereal state, allowing them to arise and die in the sea of consciousness but unable to escape from where they were. Gradually, Shi Xuan felt that his thoughts were focused, and he began to visualize the God of the breeze and the bright moon.
