11. Out of body
The general method of getting out of the body is to first take a bath, tidy up the body, then meditate, recite mantras, and pinch the hands, all of which are for the purpose of meditating the mind, and then visualizing after the mind has calmed down, which can get twice the result with half the effort.
In the original work, Hong Yi directly skipped these cumbersome steps, just by writing the word "quiet", he made his mind calm and distracting thoughts, and then used the "Pagoda Visualization Out of the Shell Method" to successfully get out of the body, and the first practice directly completed the two stages of concentration and shelling.
Hong Yi was able to do this, but he relied on his more than ten years of accumulation of reading wisely since he was a child.
Lu Xiao is the same, graduated from a famous university in his previous life, and studied philosophy, not only studying longer than Hong Yi, but also modern higher education has incomparable advantages in ancient times, so the accumulation in this area is also profound.
After crossing into the Devouring Starry Sky, although he did not continue to go to school, he often studied various classics at home, not only did he not regress in his studies, but he was even much more profound than in his previous life.
In addition, not long ago, Lu Xiao had cultivated the genetic origin, and the requirements of the Five Elements Heavenly Cultivation Method in this regard were the same as those of the Divine Soul Out of the Body, all of which were to have a stable mind and not have distracting thoughts, but one was to feel the cosmic energy, and the other was to feel the existence of the Divine Soul, but the principle was the same.
Therefore, for this cultivation, Lu Xiao is still relatively confident.
Before he really started practicing, Lu Xiao first pulled out a long stick of sandalwood from the stone room where he lived, lit it and inserted it on the ground.
Because the human soul is very fragile, it is exposed to the outside when it is separated from the body, whether it is wind, sunlight, thunder and lightning, or human qi and blood, it can cause great damage to it, and if you are not careful, your soul will fly away, leaving only a shell.
In the original book, Hong Yi was out of his body for the first time, and his soul almost flew away, but it was thanks to the little fox that he lit sandalwood to protect his soul from being blown away by the wind.
Since Lu Xiao knew this truth, he naturally had to learn this lesson, light sandalwood before cultivating, and protect the gods with incense, so that it would be much safer.
"The soul of the gods is in the heavenly court, the heavenly court, the place where the gods return, and the spiritual platform of the Buddhas......"
In the stone room of the valley, there was no one around, there was silence, and Lu Xiao was cross-legged on the ground with his feet crossed, and the cultivation methods in the scriptures flashed in his heart, and he began his first cultivation.
Soon, in the process of meditating on the scriptures, he entered a state of emptiness and peace.
The divine soul existed on the Heavenly Court Spirit Platform, and after Lu Xiao kept a stick of incense in a state of meditation for a while, he vaguely felt its existence, but he was bound by the body and could not be separated.
So he began to imagine that there were many Buddha spirit platforms in his mind, and he stood under the spirit platform, climbing up step by step, especially easy at first, and getting more and more difficult later, until he finally stepped on the spirit platform—
Bang!
Heaven and earth are no longer heaven and earth!
Lu Xiao suddenly felt that his body was light, as if he was floating lightly, and he was still in front of his own stone room, the only difference was that this time Lu Xiao saw his body.
It was a small beast of medium size, like a wolf rather than a wolf, like a fox rather than a fox, with a silvery-white body, a slender body, pointed ears and a pointed chin, and a large fluffy tail.
After the spirit broke away from the shell, his body breathed weakly, and his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, and as if he had fainted.
His soul seemed to have no weight, floating lightly above his body, and unlike his beast-like body, his out-of-body soul was humanoid, wearing a silver-white robe, with short hands and legs, and looked like he was five or six years old at most.
Because he lit sandalwood, cigarettes were swirling in the stone room, and his spirit was placed in it, and he only felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, which was very comfortable.
Because he had only been out of the body for a short time, his soul was fragile, and it was daytime, and he didn't dare to go out to wander around before he reached the realm of day travel, so Lu Xiao returned to his body after going around the stone room a few times.
In the past, it was also recorded in the scriptures that there was an original method of strengthening the divine soul, which was suitable for Lu Xiao's cultivation that had just completed the shell.
"Visualize the aura of the stars penetrating through the top, going deeper inch by inch, combining with the divine soul, and the illusion is reborn. The soul can be cool, hot, sour and spicy, and you can see the evil ghosts of Shura, and you can see the Bodhisattvas of the Heavenly Maiden...... You can feel that you have fallen into reincarnation, you can feel the warm fragrance of nephrite, and you can feel that your body is rotting and your bones are full of white bones......"
Lu Xiao pondered the scriptures carefully, and after comprehending them one by one, he suddenly closed his eyes and visualized the golden Buddha in his mind, and at the same time held his hands in front of his abdomen, his thumbs facing each other, and held the Mida seal.
After a stick of incense, he sat quietly and began to think about the starry sky in the sky, imagining the light of the stars in the sky, and one of the wisps of light shining down, initiating in, inch by inch into the sea of consciousness, and combining with his own soul.
In this process, Lu Xiao suddenly felt the coolness of his whole body, as if bathed in the breeze, breathing fresh air in the pores of his whole body, and the whole person was fluttering and extremely comfortable, making him want to moan.
However, Lu Xiao knew that this was just one of the various illusions that occurred when he visualized the starlight entering his body, so he guarded his mind and remained unmoved.
But after that, all kinds of sweet and sour tastes swept through the body, and after surviving, there were Shura hell, nephrite warm fragrance, corpse mountains and sea of blood, and white bones and rotten flesh...... All kinds of illusions change in his mind, one better than the other, trying to disturb his mind.
In general, there are only one or two illusions encountered by ordinary contemplation gates, but the illusions of the Mida Sutra are repeated one after another, overlapping and overlapping, as if there is no end.
If ordinary people meditate like this, they would have been full of demons in their hearts for a long time, but the true meaning of the past sutra is that the past cannot be changed, and when meditating on the image of the golden Buddha, it will remain true as its true nature, and all kinds of illusions will be added to the body, and I will not move.
As stated in the Mida Sutra: "All these illusions, regardless of everything, keep your mind and mind, visualize that there is a Buddha in the void, named Amitabha, and knot the Dharma Seal of Amitabha, this Buddha is the original face of all beings in heaven and earth, guarding the original thoughts, not being moved by everything, and can avoid calamities." ”
After all the illusions were over, when Lu Xiao thought that everything was finally coming to an end, the starlight of the visualization seemed to be combined with his own divine soul-
In an instant, in the void of the sky, an irresistible force came from the underworld, wanting to tear his divine soul out of his body and float upward.
It is as if a seeker who has gone through all kinds of hardships and overcome them one by one has finally passed the final hurdle and is about to complete his merits and ascend to the heavens.
This feeling is extremely real and beautiful, especially for people like Lu Xiao who have a strong desire to seek the truth, the temptation is very great.
Just when his mind couldn't help but begin to waver, the Buddha who seemed to be his previous life suddenly appeared in the starry sky, and the spirit that wanted to break away from his body and soar to the sky instantly calmed down.
At this time, Lu Xiao came to his senses, and layers of cold sweat appeared on his back.
You must know that he has only been out of the shell for a short time, and he has not reached the realm of night and day travel, at this time, if the soul goes to the sky, there is no incense in the void, and the wind will blow the soul away.
"The illusion of this last level is really powerful! Attaining the Dao and ascending is indeed the greatest temptation for cultivators. Especially after many tribulations, I was pleasantly surprised, thinking that I had finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish. At this time, I'm afraid no one can control it. Even if it is a saint, there is an ideal of dying at dawn. Lu Xiao thought silently.
After the illusion of the last level, Lu Xiao sat down again, and continued to run this contemplation idea, cultivating his soul in all kinds of illusions until he was finally exhausted.
The soul will also be tired, which is the same as reading and thinking too much, the soul is consumed too much, and it must be recovered by resting.
So Lu Xiao supported his body and walked to the quilt next to him, which was wrapped in a thick animal skin, and he lay on it, sleeping in warmth and comfort.
At the same time, his main consciousness turned back to the Devouring Starry Sky World, because of the time flow rate of 1:3, this time was the second day after he finished cultivating his genetic origin.
