Chapter 11: Change and Meditation
In the early morning, Xu Qing sat cross-legged under a big banyan tree, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing was dense, he was quite orderly between exhaling and inhaling, and his whole body breath was faint, as if he wanted to blend into the surrounding environment.

He was trying to sense the aura of heaven and earth.
After a while, Xu Qing opened his eyes helplessly, frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's still a little bit worse." ”
It has been three days since the day I went to the flower and bird market to purchase, and these three days, for others, the days are still the same, but for Xu Qing, there have been some more changes.
Let's start with the changes in space.
The vegetable seeds sprinkled in the ground have sprouted the next day, broken out of the soil, and one day at a time, the tall and fast, the green seedlings look gratifying, and the seedlings can be transplanted in one or two days.
The soaked rice seeds are even more exaggerated, germinating the next day, and the white buds will be drawn out at night, Xu Qing had to spend half a day to open an acre of paddy field in advance and sprinkle it in.
In order to save trouble, he even saved the step of raising seedlings, anyway, it was in space, so why bother.
Xu Qing compared, the same crop in the space grows three or four times faster than the outside world.
For example, it takes three or four months for rice to ripen outside, and it is estimated that it can be harvested in a month.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the crops are all ordinary crops, if you plant a large tonic herb such as ginseng and shou wu, the growth rate may not be so fast.
The effect of space was a bit unexpected to Xu Qing, after all, Qingsong Lao Dao repeatedly emphasized that the earth's aura was thin, which invisibly made him not have much expectation for the planting effect of space.
Now that I think about it, it should be that the psychological standards of Qingsong from another world are too high.
Also, after all, the Sumeru precept is a magic weapon, nourished by aura, and it is not uncommon for it to give birth to crops.
The maturity cycle has been shortened, but I don't know what the quality is, but no matter how it is said, it is watered with spiritual water, and it stands to reason that the quality is stronger than the outside.
As for those fry, they were in good spirits, and they didn't see much change for a while.
Except for the fields and ponds, the rest of the open spaces were full of tender green grass, but Xu Qing didn't know what kind of grass it was.
Then there were the changes in his body.
After a few days, the benefits of ventilating the qi veins finally slowly appeared, and Xu Qing could clearly feel that under the nourishment of the small air mass of the dantian, the body's flexibility, balance, perception, endurance, strength and other qualities have been slowly increasing.
These increases are still within the scope of human beings, and they are not exaggerated to the extent that they can lift a thousand pounds and scare whoever they want.
When the body becomes stronger, the spirit will naturally be vigorous, energetic, and the quality of sleep will be improved.
These changes are all good things, but with them comes another change.
The small air mass in his dantian has become much smaller, compared to the beginning, it has shrunk by more than half, if it was a table tennis ball before, then now it is a quail egg, it looks pitiful.
Nourishing the physical body requires the consumption of spiritual energy, and if it continues like this, if it is not replenished, the air mass will disappear.
Once the air mass dissipates and there is no nourishment of the aura, then the originally newly opened qi veins will be blocked again.
Xu Qing naturally didn't want such a thing to happen, but although he had a qi vein, it was the skill of opening the spirit talisman, and he actually didn't know anything about cultivation.
In that case, what else, no? Learn.
In the past three days, he has finished reading the two ancient books "The Law of Eating Qi" and "The Theory of Qi".
Although it is a classical Chinese text, the content in it is relatively simple, the words are concise, and the description is appropriate, although some terms of the Taoist Buddha Tibetan Buddha Tibetan Danshu Buddhist scriptures are borrowed, but it is still relatively easy to understand.
I think that when Qingsong Lao Dao wrote, he didn't pretend to be mysterious and write something in the clouds.
It is not easy for the old Taoist priest to leave a legacy, not only to be proficient in the languages of the two worlds, to act as a translator, but also to fully consider the cultural differences, so as not to be incomprehensible to future generations.
Speaking of which, Xu Qing admires Qingsong very much, with the ability of the old Taoist priest, in that superstitious era, as long as he wants, he can turn on the protagonist mode at will, stir up the wind and clouds, and show a few tricks, and others have to bow their heads, not to mention calling the king the emperor, even if it is called the saint as the ancestor, it is not a difficult thing.
Think about Liu Bang's uprising, and he had to cut a white snake to fool his subordinates, you know that the ancient people worshiped extraordinary power.
But Qingsong never thought about this, he just wanted to go home, and spent most of his life walking between the mountains and forests, and his appearance was not obvious.
This is really treating fame and fortune as floating dust, and this heart is not worse than that of a saint.
After admiring it, let's go back to cultivation.
"The Law of Eating Qi" and "The Theory of Practicing Qi" are the two most basic methods of cultivation left by Qing Song.
"Qi Eating Method" mainly talks about how to absorb Reiki, such as the steps, hours, places, postures, breathing and other techniques of swallowing Reiki.
"The Theory of Xingqi" is about how to use aura, such as the flow of breath, the operation of large and small weeks, and the tempering of the body.
The two are used in one place, just in harmony and complement each other.
According to Xu Qing's situation, he first had to cultivate the "Qi Eating Method" and eat spiritual energy to fill the dantian, so as not to re-block the qi veins that had just been passed due to the lack of spiritual energy nourishment.
But he was stuck at the initial level of induction, sensing aura.
The reason is that the mind is not quiet enough.
On the way of practice, the first emphasis is on meditation, the mind is quiet, then the gods, then the body is thorough, you can reflect your own body, you can perceive the heaven and the earth, it can be described as wonderful.
However, people's hearts are impetuous, complex and unpredictable, often a thought does not disappear, and a thought arises again, and so on, and finally it is inevitable that there will be many thoughts and cannot be calm.
Therefore, the first step of cultivation is to practice meditation first, and when the mind is calm enough, can it sense and capture the ethereal and unpredictable aura, draw qi into the body, and open up the spiritual veins.
It is also said in the "Qi Eating Method" that the disciples of the Lingfu Sect, before they really step into the cultivation, often practice meditation for several years, and the latest one, it took a full ten years to successfully induce qi into the body.
Not everyone can be as lucky as Xu Qing, with the help of the Spirit Opening Rune, even in the Spirit Rune Sect, the Spirit Opening Rune is quite precious.
Xu Qing has been trying to sense the aura for two days, but although he has a peaceful personality and does not have many distracting thoughts, coupled with the qi vein, with the bonus, he can only vaguely sense the existence of the aura, and cannot induce the qi into the body.
It seems that I am not a genius, and after failing again, Xu Qing came to a conclusion.
It stands to reason that after opening the Lingtong vein, it is quite easy to sense the aura, but I didn't expect it to work, it is always a little worse.
There is only one other way to do it.
It is said in the "Law of Eating Qi" that if you are not deep enough to meditate, you can use some auxiliary things, such as burning incense, writing, painting, playing games, listening to music, etc., to help you enter meditation.
To put it bluntly, if you can't calm your mind with your own concentration, then find a goal for yourself, focus on it, and slowly achieve the effect of meditation.
It's just that relying on auxiliary things to enter meditation is much less effective than self-meditation.
Xu Qing complained at the time: I didn't expect to cultivate a line, and it would also come with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills, which is similar to the standard for entering the Qinglou industry.
I originally wanted to test my qualifications, but now I know that I am not that kind of demonic genius, so what are you waiting for?
