Chapter 146: The Opportunity (Part I)
The heart is born in things, dies in things, and the machine is in the eyes.
Ronan seems to be asleep but not asleep, as if awake but not awake, as if in a fixed state.
He did see the imaginary figure spin in the void, but at the same time, there were countless paradoxical shadows, permeating the inside and outside. Every shadow is similar to his figure, it seems to be everywhere, and there is no reality.
Then, Ronan's mind sank, and he pointed straight to the center of the inward ball, and fell into a deep prison. The Shadows, who were truly "shadowy", followed suit.
In the trill, thousands of dark chains move in unison, intertwined like a net, and in the deep area, the lukewarm fire swayes, illuminating the cascading chaotic phases, blending and intersecting with thousands of shadows, indistinguishable, and like a swarm of bats, the shadow dances, and the waves are treacherous.
"I", which is "I"?
In a trance, Ronan's perspective changed again, as if looking down from a height, seeing the light coming up, his eyes and fire combined into one place, shining brightly, suppressing the demon shadow, he also woke up.
When the eyes opened, it was a little blurry at first, also because the room was dim. The sky was not bright, only the light of the figurines and stone lamps illuminated the entrance hall, and the light and shadow were mixed, forming a piece of outline on the miscellaneous objects in the room. The mediocre image gives him an inexplicable novelty...... I don't know if it's a psychological effect.
Ronan rolled over and sat up, the blanket he was covering slipped off. The chill of the morning flowed through the open doorway, causing him to shrink his neck.
In the corner of the room, a low voice suddenly sounded, it was Xiu Shenyu: "Empty its qi, smell it, have a blessed field, and don't think about it." It's time for you to do morning class, as you did last night. ”
Ronan closed his eyes and opened them again, this time finally erasing the aftermath of the dream and truly waking up. He looked at the bracelet, it was a little past four in the morning, no wonder it was so dark outside.
Xiu Shenyu didn't speak again since that sentence, but Ronan could feel that his eyes were resting on him, supervising his homework.
Yes, since last night, the hard days have begun.
Ronan didn't say much, and after settling his mind, he spit out his breath into his hand, and the breath of his mouth and nose gradually became dense.
After finding the rhythm of entry and exit, Ronan did not further exercise, first massaged the face, especially the acupuncture points around the eye sockets, and then reached out to cross his feet, clasped his fingers, pressed with special techniques, and then rubbed his feet, and the lower hands had specific positions, but the movements were not very good-looking.
"Hard!" Xiu Shenyu's supervision was very timely.
Ronan unconsciously increased the force on his hands, and soon his hands and feet were warm and his tendons were unblocked. Then he turned his back and pressed the area on both sides of his back as hard as he could, in a series of movements, like doing an exercise - or an older version.
As he was doing it, Ronan had a pain in his back, and he was fingered by Xiu Shenyu, and his voice entered his ears again: "Here, you have to work harder." ”
Ronan's breath was chaotic, but he quickly adjusted, and according to Xiu Shenyu's requirements, he hooked his hand and touched it, and continued to press until it was sore.
And that wasn't all, Ronan sat down on the cork floor, twisting his body and bending his hands. The most important thing is that no matter which part it is, the eyes will follow each other when it moves, and it must not be separated for a moment, and if there is a slight deformation and dislocation, the cultivator Yu around him will make a statement to correct it, and even take a shot to pull it back.
If it is nine times, don't look at it almost not leaving the same place, but the consumption is extremely high, and Ronan has already seen a layer of sweat on his body.
Especially the eye area, which has to move with the hands and feet all the time, and is massaged, it is already slightly hot at this time, as if there is heat steaming in the eye sockets, and almost tears.
Ronan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind was hidden, so far it was considered a success.
This series of movements, which I just learned last night, was taught by Xiu Shenyu hand in hand, how to massage the head, face, hands and feet and torso, how to bend and stretch the limbs, supplemented by breathing, including parts, strength, feelings, reactions, etc., in detail.
This is the "stupid method" that Xiu Shenyu said, with a board and a glance, there is almost no room for divine contemplation, let alone the slightest vanity.
Xiu Shenyu said: "The shape is like a bowl holder, bearing its weight, but excluding it; God divides into a wisp and imprisons it, but the tail is too big to fall. If you want to correct it, the first thing is to break through the layered barrier between the 'essence, qi and spirit'. Only by starting from the physical remains, cultivating both inside and outside, strengthening the body's functions and cultivating vitality...... It's like adding a fire under the bowl saucer to warm the tip of the iceberg with the temperature of the body and get a piece of the pie. If the 'temperature' is to be up to standard, it should be purely quiet. Gong can no longer be practiced, you have to work hard in walking, sitting and lying, and your vitality and functions must be put into operation.
According to Xiu Shenyu, Ronan is now practicing all of his body, but he is imprisoned by the external law, and his physical body is weak, and he only has nine knots to reach the inside and outside.
The so-called nine orifices, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and lower body two orifices. There are also nine tricks and three important sayings, the eyes, ears and mouth are the most important, among which the eyes are the gods, and the Yin Fu Sutra has the saying that "the heart is born in things, dies in things, and the machine is in the eyes", which is really the essence.
Ronan's practice is at the spiritual level, and it is difficult to use the physical body, so at this time, it is even more necessary to make use of the natural physical properties of the form, such as a canal to divert water, gradually become a scale, and then seek a breakthrough.
Ronan didn't understand the theory of cultivating Shenyu, and only knew that he had to start with the "eye". Speaking of which, in his early years, he did not achieve a self-format, and only had some small abilities manifested, in addition to the "big stomach" that strengthened the digestion and absorption ability of the viscera, the real explicit means "hypnotist" is to use the eyes as a medium to intimidate people's minds.
Compared with his own experience, Ronan has gained a little.
The morning class lasted nearly an hour and didn't end until half-past five. Ronan washed up again, and when he stepped into the courtyard again, he saw Xue Lei sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and he went to help, but was refused:
"Save your energy, I'll go to school in a while, but there's no bus."
"Run? Is it a little late today? ”
From the Taoist Hall to Zhixing College, it is nearly fifty kilometers. It's not like Ronan hasn't run this kind of journey, but it's almost six o'clock now, and judging his ability, he doesn't think he can arrive before class.
"Hey, hey, good spirit!"
Xue Lei grinned and gave Ronan a thumbs up, but then shook his head: "I ran to go." Your current body is not suitable for the upper volume, and the public bicycle point here in Boshan Building can also be ...... Hmm, Nanzi, you look good today. ”
Ronan also feels good about himself. At this time, the pain on his body has not disappeared, but his mind is condensed, and his breath is smooth, which is quite different from yesterday.
He probably knew what was going on.
It has been nearly a month since his self-format achievement of "my heart is like hell" and he stopped the consistent process of taking medicines, and there is no practical way to practice, most of the time, it is just the soaring soul power that makes him tired and very passive, even if he ponders some skills, it is scattered and unsystematic.
Now in Xiu Shenyu, the number of roads is real, and every section and item is a step, even if it is a "stupid method", but there is a grasp.
Ronan is not afraid of hard work, only afraid that hard work is meaningless.
Compared with the big goals of verifying the correctness of the "format theory" and correcting the name of his grandfather, the small goals set by Xiu Shenyu for him are really within reach.
Whether it was the decomposition of the target or the self-comfort, the depression in his heart was really relieved a lot.
"As far as the eye can see, the place where the candle shines, don't indulge or lose, it's all right."
Xiu Shenyu didn't know when he came out, stood on the wooden corridor, and looked at the two young people in the courtyard: "It's not too early, you guys go." ”
