Chapter 12: Cultivation
The sky is already shining.
When she opened her eyes in the white night, Grandma Feng had already gone out to pick herbs.
Bai Ye got up and went out of the house, and the three little ones were also sleeping soundly, and he didn't disturb them.
As soon as I went out, I saw farmers in several villages carrying hoes on their shoulders, as if they were going to plough the fields, and they said hello after seeing Bai Ye, and Bai Ye also smiled and nodded in response.
A few wisps of smoke had risen from several homes, and it seemed that the women inside were busy with their day's meals.
White Night came to a stream and did a simple wash.
The cool stream touched the skin, as if washing away the greasy and hot skin and dissipating the worries accumulated yesterday.
Because there were no towels or anything like that, Bai Ye had to pick the big leaves of a few unknown plants by the stream, wipe his face, and throw them into the water.
Thump!
The leaves splash into the water, and then drift away like a lonely boat with the slow flow of water.
"White Night!"
A man's voice sounded behind him.
Bai Ye turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was Grandma Feng, he smiled and responded:
"It's you, Grandma Feng, you went to pick herbs so early."
Grandma Feng held a wooden basket with green grass in her hand and stood on the high slope of the stream.
"Yes, you hurry back to the house, I'll cook you some vegetable soup."
"Uh-huh."
Then Bai Ye went up the slope and followed Grandma Feng back again.
After entering the house, Grandma Feng began to cook some soup mixed with sweet potatoes and millet, and Bai Ye also ate it with relish.
After eating in the white night, he said to Grandma Feng:
"Grandma Feng, I don't know if there is a shrine in the village, I want to go there to cultivate."
"Shrine, yes, there is a shrine on a hill not far away, my sister used to worship there, and then after my sister died, I went there, but now I'm old, except for some sacrificial activities, I rarely go there, stay in this village to help the villagers heal and something, you can go there."
"Yes, thank you Grandma Feng."
The reason why Bai Ye asked this was because he felt that his strength had grown relatively fast recently, and since he had helped that Miyamu City Lord to eliminate demons before, his cultivation seemed to have improved again, and he had to stabilize it as soon as possible.
So after Bai Ye said hello to Grandma Kaede, he walked to the shrine on the mountain alone.
When he came to the bottom of the mountain, a large mahogany torii stood in front of him, and this was the so-called torii.
The torii gate, which is an outbuilding of a Japanese shrine, symbolizes the entrance to the realm of the gods, and is used to distinguish the realm of the gods where the gods live and an existence in the secular world.
It consists of two pillars, Kasagi and Shimagi on the pillars, and three parts inserted between the two pillars, and some torii gates are equipped with suke ropes to create an enchantment to prevent calamity from entering the realm of the gods.
According to the Kojiki, the origin of this torii gate is that Amaterasu, the supreme god of Japan, hated Susanoo and hid in a cave and blocked the entrance with a large stone, but the growth of all things was stagnant because there was no sun in the world.
The eight million gods in Japan later came up with a way to build a scaffold and put a lot of roosters crowing to cause Amaterasu to come out, and the world was bright again.
There are also experts and scholars who say that the torii gate originated from China or the Japanese red-crowned wooden door, of course, this is a later story.
White night came to the torii gate, and with a slight step, his feet were like a gust of wind, and after a while, he climbed hundreds of stone stairs and came to the shrine's worship hall.
opened the door of the worship hall, and a light aura came to his face, and Bai Ye stepped into it.
I looked at the objects in the worship hall, and there was no shrine or anything in it, but there was an offering table in front of it, and there were some objects for worship.
There was also a large wooden cabinet next to it, locked by a pitch-black copper lock, and a few white seals.
Bai Ye felt the aura here, which had left a pure spiritual power fluctuation before, and the spiritual eye saw some sky-blue spiritual light wandering, presumably the spiritual power of the bellflower.
Bai Ye walked to the altar, turned his hand and conjured a green gold futon, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate steadily.
After closing his eyes, Bai Ye tried to use internal force to open up the veins of the whole body, stabilized the qi, blood and mood with the spiritual power of the golden pill in the dantian, and silently recited the "Pure Sutra" in his mouth:
The avenue is invisible, the fertility of the world, the avenue is ruthless, the sun and the moon run, the avenue is nameless, the long nourishment of all things, I don't know its name, the strong name is the Tao, the husband is the Tao, there is clear and turbid, there is movement and quiet, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet...... The three are enlightened, but they can only be seen in emptiness; Watching the sky is also empty, empty and empty; There is nothing in the emptiness, nothing in the absence of nothing; Nothing, nothing, nothing, and silence; When there is no loneliness, how can desire be born? If you want to not be born, you are truly quiet.
The faint scriptures echoed in Bai Ye's mind, and in his spiritual sea, many Daoyin scriptures gathered together and turned into a golden white lotus flower, half-open and half-closed, and the petals exuded the ghostly light of calming the gods and calming the gods.
But what he didn't know was that when he was concentrating and cultivating, his whole body was also exuding a golden aura.
The scriptures recited silently in his mouth became solid golden words floating around his body, and gradually, a little brilliance appeared on Bai Ye's forehead and eyebrows, which was a symbol of a small breakthrough in his condensation of his divine heart and comprehension of the Dao.
And those golden words also turned into white lotus flowers blooming, and the fragrance floated, attracting the spiritual power that remained in the hall and entering the center of the eyebrows of the white night.
And at this time, in the white night, his own primordial spirit was also in the spiritual sea, sitting on the golden green lotus, and also closed his eyes to recuperate, and the blue spiritual power absorbed from the outside world was like a trickle slowly flowing into the lotus platform, nourishing the lotus.
The lotus flower under the White Night Seat gradually became more and more golden, and there were some cyan mixed colors, but they were also pure rhyme.
His eyes opened at some point, and the lotus flower suspended around him also dissipated in an instant.
Bai Ye knew that he had finished cultivating, so he slowly put away his mind and spit out a mouthful of turbid breath in his nasal cavity, and his mind regained its clarity.
He was about to get up when the navigator spoke.
[Congratulations to the host for a breakthrough in cultivation, and a pair of Yunshui Mirror and Sanqing Bell are now being issued. 】
After navigating the words, Bai Ye had an extra palm-sized rectangular mirror and a silver Sanqing bell in his hand.
Bai Ye looked at the two objects in his hand with a little curiosity, so he asked the navigation:
"What's the use of this cloud water mirror? I know these three clear bells, but what is this cloud water mirror used for? Wouldn't you give me a way to look in the mirror and dress up? ”
[The cloud water mirror is a high-level spiritual weapon, which can peep through the cloud water mirror, of course, the peeping object is determined by the host's strength, and Sanqing Ling has the effect of suppressing demons and clearing the gods, and has now introduced the usage into the host's memory sea. 】
Bai Ye felt that he had something more in his mind, it should be the use of the spirit weapon that had been transmitted from the navigation just now, and he would probably be familiar with it after browsing for a while.
[Please note that the host has entered the free adventure mode, and this navigation is based on the principle of serving the general public, and the host is hereby informed that in the future, this navigation will issue random rewards according to the breakthroughs and tasks done to help the host grow faster. 】
The electronic sound of the navigation falls.
"Got it~ But this cloud water mirror can peek into the scene, I'm a little curious, otherwise I'll try it first."
So he put away the three clear bells, his mind moved, he used his mana, and threw out the cloud water mirror in his hand.
The Yunshui mirror became bigger and Bai Ye's height was the same, and Bai Ye was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this small mirror to become so big.
At the moment, I also came back to my senses, and I was still a little excited, because this mirror is a necessary "voyeur artifact" for home travel and good families! Much better than those modern monitors.
Then, with a slight touch, the mirror rippled and swayed, gradually revealing a scene......
