Chapter 23: Meditation

In the endless wilderness, a small group of mercenaries slowly moved forward in a wide carriage.

Lias rode alone in the center of the group, his black mage robe and hood covering his whole body, and the mercenaries who were guarding him cast awe-inspiring and curious glances from time to time, and he was unconscious, immersed in the meditation of his daily practice on the back of a bumpy horse.

The elemental spirits sang around his body, responding to his will, responding to his call, constantly going in and out of his body, the magic power in his body slowly began to grow, and the skillful application of spiritual power was the prerequisite for completing this qiē, so that the spirit and magic power slowly increased over time, and when the quantitative change accumulated the qualitative change, it was logical to break through the rank.

Meditation is a compulsory course for every mage, and it is the first major characteristic that distinguishes a mage from other transcendent professions.

The teaching in the carriage expands from the most basic theory to the meditation part......

“…… Mage's meditation is a purposeful way to exercise mental strength and magic, there are many ways to meditate, each mage has his own most suitable method, pay attention, is the most suitable! Meditation has no steps, just a key core ......"

Wu Chen looks like a good student now, his attention is highly concentrated, his eyes are full of interest and eagerness, if he has this energy when he is in school, Peking University and Tsinghua University are not a problem.

This thirst for knowledge has been seen so much that no one can remain indifferent to magic any more than a dragon can refuse the temptation of treasure.

"What's at the heart of this key? It's simple, the best way to communicate with the elemental elves! ”

"Teacher, I don't understand!"

Yuris didn't have any objection to Wu Chen's anxious title, but smiled more kindly and patiently: "This is a kind of understanding, a feeling, only when you are in it can you comprehend, okay, let me take you into a meditative state, the rest needs to be realized by yourself, in the communication with the elemental elves, no one can help you, just because a thousand mages have a thousand methods, there is no best, only the most suitable!" ”

"It's hard to get into meditation for the first time, and now we're using some small means to give you a direct experience, and with this experience, it's easy to get into this state next time...... Come...... What do you do with your eyes closed? No, now stretch out a finger, yes, an arm's length, erect between your eyes......"

"Okay, now don't think about anything, just look at this finger of your own, observe it, observe its texture, observe its pores, its hair...... Attentively, just observe, observe............ Okay, slowly withdraw this finger and watch it retract, retract it to the tip of your nose, and then you will find that you have a hard time observing it...... It doesn't matter, just because it's still in place, yes, the original location, do you see it? ”

Undescribeable Yuris's voice, like a hypnotist, this warm sound like a breeze caressing, made Wu Chen's mind involuntarily run according to his description, at this time, the fingers on the tip of the nose were ignored, and Wu Chen "saw" a finger at an arm's length, hallucination? No, it's a very strange state of mind, some of which are like images that remain in the brain that have been temporarily restored.

"Yes, I saw ......," Wu Chen replied in a sleepwalking tone.

"Okay, now I need you to take back this finger again, yes, just like you just did............ Very good, you did a good job, did you take back this "finger"? ”

"Yes, teacher......"

"So, what do you see now?"

"It's coming again, it's coming again......"

"Then what are you waiting for, yes, just like you just did, slowly, incredibly naturally, take it back......"

…………

Repeated like this six times, Wu Chen felt that his consciousness was like an "onion" that had been peeled off layer by layer, the position of the tip of his nose became heavier and heavier, his thinking took off "layer after layer", his feelings became more and more keen, and he became more and more ethereal.

Of course, Wu Chen is not aware of these now, the retraction of the "fingers" is repeated again and again, and the "weight" of the tip of his nose is getting heavier and heavier, as if forming a whirlpool, trying to pull and inhale his eyelids and more and more ethereal spirit!

At this moment, Yuris's warm and comfortable voice came: "You want to close your eyes, you want to sleep, yes, don't resist this feeling, close it......"

"Yes......"

"Very good, do you feel that there is too much retraction, too heavy?"

"Yes, teacher......"

"Well, this time you need to send them all back...... Yes, which position do you feel the most "empty"? ”

“…… Eyebrows, pineal gland~~"

The expression on Yuris's face was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, he recovered, "Then let's start......

The weight that has been solidified on the tip of the nose and constantly "superimposed" slowly points to the position of the center of the eyebrows, "boom~~", like piercing a layer of skin, like opening an invisible "eye", Wu Chen "sees" again, this kind of "seeing" is completely different from the sight of the eyes, which is constructed by countless colorful color areas......

The world has faded to its original appearance, and what is presented in Wu Chen's "eyes" is an "oil painting", yes, countless colors are mixed and gradually become colorful images!

These images are moving...... No, the tiny particles that make up these colors are moving, Wu Chen observed them in this state of seeming to sleep but not sleeping, seemingly thinking but not thinking, for a long time, this state became more and more stable, a desire to get close to them appeared naturally, without delay, he began to summon these tiny particles without a teacher......

At this time, Wu Chen understood the first step of spiritual power, the wordless invitation, the invisible shout, which was countless times faster and more accurate than the expression of words and bodies.

This is the first time that the mind exerts an influence from the inside out, no one teaches him, no one tells him what to do, but he just learns, like a baby who has just escaped from its mother, the first breath, the first cry, the first swallow of breast milk......

And those colored particles were indifferent to his summoning, a very small part of the "curiosity" swam to his side, and immediately lost interest and swam away, Wu Chen was not discouraged, and there was no discouraged thoughts and ideas at all, and time passed quietly in such attempts again and again......

Until, the weariness weighed down like a mountain.
