Chapter Twenty-Three: Refining the Divine Formula
It is very clear in the Divine Refining Formula that ordinary people can only feel foreign objects through their faces, see with their eyes, hear with their ears, smell with their noses, and taste with their mouths. In addition to this, people also have a kind of perceptual ability, that is, divine thoughts, and if they cultivate it, they can feel more things.
What is a divine thought? It is an innate ability, but it is hidden in the body and has not been discovered and explored. For example, when a person arrives in a dangerous place, he naturally feels creepy, and instinctively produces a sense of vigilance and fear.
The method of refining the gods is divided into four layers, namely: concentrating, refining the gods, delusion, and breaking the void.
The so-called condensation is to condense the divine thoughts, condense the originally chaotic divine thoughts into bundles, and achieve free retraction. Then there is the refining of the gods, so that the divine thoughts can be enhanced, and with the growth of cultivation, the distance and range of induction are constantly expanded. Then he will be a fantasy, and through the casting of divine thoughts, he will penetrate the truth and uncover the obstacles of spells. Finally, it is to break through the void and nothingness through divine thoughts, allowing cultivators to see farther and more truthfully.
Concentrate, it's easy to say, it's hard to say. Because of the existence of several senses in the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, people's perception of the outside world is very mixed, and their attention is distracted by various senses, and it is difficult to really concentrate on feeling a single thing. Therefore, concentrating is to eliminate the interference of other senses and concentrate one's attention.
In order to practice concentration, Yi Jiuxiao hung a coin in front of the window, then sat on the bed, staring at the coin, it was unbearable at first, and he couldn't see it for long, so he couldn't help blinking, and tears came out of his eyes uncomfortably. After a few hours, you can gradually stare at it for a few hours, and after half a month, you can stare at it for a day and a night without blinking, and you can do it without distractions, and there is nothing else in your eyes but this coin.
During this period, the cultivation of the Open Heaven Fist and the Dredging Palm did not fall, and they took the time to cultivate. During this time, I didn't find Wan Shumad to learn again, and before I found a way to crack it, the result of the discussion was obvious, and Wan Shumad seemed to be practicing a kind of exercise diligently, and the two of them were safe.
In addition to practicing concentration, but also to practice subtlety, Yi Jiuxiao replaced the coin with a fly hanging in front of the window, staring at a distance of two zhang away, at first the fly was just a small black ball, and he couldn't see any details. But as time went by, the fly gradually grew bigger in Yi Jiuxiao's eyes, and it increased exponentially, from one to ten times, and then to a hundred times the size, and the little fly became like a giant beast in his eyes, from head to toe, as well as the lines and fluff on his body.
The fly was still too big, Yi Jiuxiao replaced the fly with a small ant, tied it with hair and hung it in front of the window, staring at it every day, and finally the ant became the size of a horse in his eyes. Even the hair was as thick as a pillar, and all the details in it could be seen at a glance.
The whole world has changed in Yi Jiuxiao's eyes, even a tiny dust fluttering can't escape his eyes, every move around him can be vividly seen, as long as he wants to see, he will definitely be able to see it, even without his eyes, he can perceive a lot of things, and all his senses have become very sharp.
Is this God's mind? Not yet. Concentration and subtlety are just the basis for concentrating, and only if you continue to cultivate will you have divine thoughts.
Yi Jiuxiao sat on the futon, closed his eyes tightly and became in a state of concentration, his breath was even and long, all his energy was concentrated in his mind, and he felt every move around him with his heart, but he didn't get anything in the first few days.
Until the seventh day, when he was meditating, he felt something flying in through the window, very slightly, and then he felt that it was a fallen leaf, and after a few hours, he could feel that it was a yellow fallen leaf, and after two hours, he could feel that it was the leaf of the laurel tree in front of the window, and the leaf lines gradually became clear, and although his eyes were closed, everything was as real as he saw in front of him.
Yi Jiuxiao knew that this was the Divine Thought, and he had finally cultivated the Divine Thought, and it took half a year before and after, and it had been closed in a blink of an eye. He took a long breath, stood upright, walked out of the door, walked out of his yard, and came to Wan Shufang's residence, which was already dusk, and Wan Shufang was standing in front of the door.
"Crazy, I have cultivated my divine thoughts. Yi Jiuxiao said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"How is this possible, only monks have divine thoughts, only monks after the foundation is built. Wan Shu's crazy expression seemed to be listening to a joke, the funniest joke.
"Really, just now, I had a divine idea, and I don't believe we can give it a try. ”
"Okay, be careful!" Before Wan Shufang made a move, he first warned him, but as soon as the words fell, a white light came out of his hand and went straight to Yi Jiuxiao.
In an instant, Yi Jiuxiao saw all the movements of Wan Shufang clearly, from casting spells to the release of the Wind Shattering Knife, as well as the trajectory of the Wind Shattering Knife's flight, the swift flying knife was so slow in Yi Jiuxiao's eyes that he could grab the handle of the knife very calmly, and the Wind Shattering Knife struggled desperately twice in his hand, and then he couldn't move.
"Wow", I saw Wan Shufang open his mouth and spurt out a mouthful of blood, this magic weapon is connected to him and his mind, and now the spell is broken, the magic weapon is caught, which naturally hurts his mind, so he vomits blood.
Seeing this situation, Yi Jiuxiao was taken aback, he didn't know what he found, but it was Wan Shumad who was so angry that he vomited blood for a while because the magic weapon was taken away by him.
Give it back to you, Yi Jiuxiao handed the knife back to Wan Shumad, after the knife came back, Wan Shumad's mind calmed down, it was really dangerous just now! The fighting method between monks is different from that of martial artists, it is not a matter of suffering from a little skin, it will hurt the vitality at the lightest, and the foundation will be injured if it is serious, this time Wan Shumad will hurt the vitality, and he has to practice to recover.
"You do have a divine thought, it's incredible, how did you do it?" Wan Shufang looked at Yi Jiuxiao with an innocent face, knowing that he had injured himself by mistake just now, Yi Jiuxiao was not a cultivator, and he shouldn't understand the connection between the magic weapon and the cultivator. At the same time, he was also curious about how Yi Jiuxiao could cultivate his divine thoughts without a spiritual root.
"I have the method of cultivating divine thoughts in that set of Open Heaven Fist, but I didn't know how to cultivate before, since the last time we competed, I only knew the importance of divine thoughts, I have been cultivating for half a year, and I only cultivated today. ”
"Oh, this set of Open Heaven Fist is really amazing. Wan Shufang sighed sincerely, but he couldn't cultivate.
"How did you get hurt just now, I didn't seem to have touched you, didn't I?"
Wan Shufang laughed silently, and said in his heart, I am not so generous, it seems that I have to explain, otherwise this guy will definitely not know, and he will not know how to deal with and control it when he fights against other monks in the future.
"The Wind Shattering Knife is my magic weapon, it is connected to my heart, and if you catch my magic weapon, it will naturally hurt my heart, so you will vomit blood. In fact, the physique of the magic cultivation is the weakest, and it is easy to be injured after the spell is broken, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to confiscate the magic weapon between the same level of law cultivation, your martial arts is really an outlier, and you can actually capture the magic weapon of the same level. I thought that spells could restrain you, but instead you became the nemesis of magic cultivation. ”
Wan Shu paused for a moment and continued: "It is precisely because I know the weakness of the physique of the Fa cultivation that I thought of the double rest of the Fa body, but the double cultivation of the Fa body is very difficult, and it takes more effort than other monks, but fortunately, when I met you, I can continue to break through the bottleneck in the body refinement." Okay, I'll talk about it another day, I'll have to go back to my room to meditate and heal. ”
Yi Jiuxiao also returned to his room, today's competition with Wan Shumad, he thought about it carefully, in the past few years, he has basically practiced behind closed doors, except for Wan Shumad, he has never played against others.
However, in the preface of martial arts cultivation, it is said that martial arts cultivation still needs to fight, constantly fight, promote cultivation with war, and stop fighting with martial arts. Without the experience of fighting, it will be difficult for martial arts cultivation to reach a higher realm.
After the New Year, it is approaching the national examination, there are only three months left, from Kaizhou to the capital Bozhou is thousands of miles away, you must set off in advance to arrive, many candidates with poor family backgrounds, set off half a year in advance. Because Wanfu has fast horses, riding horses, it is not a problem to drive two hundred miles a day, Yi Jiuxiao did not leave for a long time.
Just as Yi Jiuxiao was packing up and preparing to leave, he suddenly received an invitation, which was sent by Ji Hai, inviting him to go to Beijing with him, and there was another candidate Teng Buyue, who happened to be the top three in the state exam. Yi Jiuxiao is still happy to accept this invitation, after all, the journey is long, it is very boring to be alone, and it is naturally good to have someone to accompany him.
Wan Shufang also agreed, Yi Jiuxiao went to Beijing alone to take the exam, he was a little uneasy, after all, Yi Jiuxiao was only seventeen years old and still a teenager. The road is so far away, if there is no one to accompany you, there are still many dangers, and now Ji Hai takes the initiative to invite him to go along, which is really a great thing.
In addition, Wan Shufang is a little interested in Ji Hai, as a foundation-building monk with the best spiritual roots, to participate in the imperial examination with ordinary mortals, the plan must be not small, but I don't know what he is planning.
