Chapter 143: Exploring Ancient Texts
Oracle bone inscription, also known as 'oracle bone divination', was used in ancient times for divination.
It inherits the original carved symbols, and the bronze inscriptions below, many of which are pictographs, and the traces of the original pictorial characters are still obvious.
In just over a month, he has mastered the meaning of thousands of oracle bone characters, and has learned everything Xu Fu knows.
In the past month, the two have been getting along day and night, Xu Fu has become more and more interested in Bai Fan, sometimes when he encounters doubts and difficult problems in his practice, he unconsciously ponders and mutters to himself, and is accidentally heard by Bai Fan, and casually answers for him, which makes him admire and respect him unconsciously. In the past, it was just out of gratitude for those two pills, but now it is from the heart.
Bai Fan didn't care too much, the so-called art industry has a specialization, speaking of which, he is also an old monster who has been cultivating for more than a hundred years, and his comprehension of the way of cultivation is definitely not low, and some things are seen from different angles, and the things he sees are completely different, and the so-called stone of his mountain can attack jade is this reason.
The days passed, and when Bai Fan was about to finish his studies, Xu Fu sincerely proposed to let Bai Fan continue to live with him, Bai Fan had nothing to do, this was also what he hoped for, and before the time came, he also needed to continue to wait by Xu Fu's side. Moreover, in the Great Qin Empire at this time, it was indeed a lot of trouble for an unidentified person like him to live in the city openly.
In this mansion, there are four or five large and small courtyards, but except for Xu Fu, there are only two waiters who help him with alchemy, and ninety percent of the rooms are vacant. Because Bai Fan wanted to study the 'secret of longevity', he chose the most secluded courtyard and cleaned a bedroom to live in.
Subsequently, Bai Fan stayed closed all day long, and the waiter who delivered the meal came every three days, which was ordered by Xu Fu.
On this day, the boy came back from delivering food, carrying a food box in his hand, and after seeing Xu Fu, he opened the lid and said respectfully: "Master, Mr. Bai's food has not been moved." ”
Xu Fu glanced at it and hesitated: "It's only the first day?" ”
The boy pinched his fingers and thought for a while, and replied, "It's been twenty-seven days, so it can't be that something happened to the gentleman, right?" ”
Xu Fu stroked the long beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said: ""Zhuangzi Wandering Away" said: The mountain of despise Gu shoots is inhabited by gods and men. The skin is like ice and snow, if it is a virgin, it does not eat grains, sucks wind and drinks dew, rides the clouds, and flies the dragon, and the saying of swimming in the valley outside the four seas has been recorded in ancient times, Mr. Bai is from 'Bai Yujing', and it is not surprising to know such a secret method. ”
"Bigu?" There was a puzzled look in the boy's eyes.
Xu Fu waved his hand and said: "Bigu means not eating grains, sucking wind and drinking dew." The meat eater is brave and fierce, the grain eater is wise and skillful, the gas eater is god and longevity, and the person who does not eat is immortal and godly, which is the method of self-cultivation and immortality. From today on, there is no need to bring food to Mr. in the future, lest you disturb Mr.'s practice. ”
The waiter still didn't understand it, so he agreed in a daze, and then retired.
Xu Fu frowned at this time and muttered: "Your Majesty has urged the Immortal Pill to be tighter, and I am still at a loss, and the combination of the two pills is also clueless, hey...... The ancient immortals and gods are all legends, who knows if there is immortality, I wonder if Mr. Bai can help me solve my doubts......"
Bai Fan naturally didn't know that his natural behavior caused Xu Fu's high interpretation, in fact, during the foundation building period, he couldn't completely get rid of food, but he needed very little, with his current cultivation, there was no problem at all in Bigu March.
And he was also frowning at this time, looking annoyed.
The ancient book of Changsheng Jue was spread out in front of him, staring at the oracle bone inscription on it, chanting words in his mouth, pausing from time to time, and at the same time, there would be a puzzled look in his eyes, and then his brows would wrinkle even tighter, like an inverted figure.
Bai Fan looked at this page for two hours, and finally shook his head to show disappointment, and moved to the next page, but it still looked extremely unsmooth, and the color of distress became deeper and deeper, I don't know how long it took, and when he finished turning the last page and closing the book, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
The sigh echoed in the quiet room, both helpless and relieved, if anyone hears it, they will be confused.
In fact, he himself didn't know whether to be sad or happy at this time, this was the fifth time he had translated and studied the oracle bone inscription on the 'Recipe for Longevity', but the taste was indescribable.
The general meaning of these ancient texts, Bai Fan has already understood, is indeed the key to cultivating the secret of longevity.
The oracle bone inscription next to each figure records a corresponding mental formula, but this recipe is not an internal force for cultivation, but a spiritual force, which is very magical.
At this time, he realized that the reason why the figures of the Immortal Recipe could not be cultivated according to them was that the exercise routes marked on these figures were complex and mysterious, and each line was extremely draining, not to mention that several lines were running at the same time. Ordinary people don't have such a strong mental power to control, and if they are not careful, they will not be able to control it, and their true anger will be chaotic, so that they will go crazy and fall into a state of no return.
Looking at all the people who have obtained the longevity formula after Guangchengzi, it is a coincidence that Shuanglong can be cultivated; Bai Fan is because his spiritual power is inherently several times stronger than ordinary people, coupled with the subtle effect of the Taiyin True Spirit, Yitu cultivation is naturally handy. In addition, almost no one has practiced it anymore, and with the help of nearly a hundred years of spiritual power and Dao Ji, it is still very difficult to cultivate.
The key to everything is in these oracle bone inscriptions, and the mental formulas corresponding to each picture can be cultivated at the same time when the internal force is running, suppressing the riot of true qi, and the two are paved with each other, which not only solves the drawbacks, but also promotes each other, which is worthy of being a secret legend of the ancients.
These mental formulas are simple and mysterious, and after Bai Fan studied them carefully, he seemed to see another path, which was completely different from the cultivation path based on the Qi Sea Dantian, and it was the path of the divine soul. It was like a door, and after it was opened, he saw another incomparably vast world.
It's just that these mental methods can only open a gap in the heavy door, so that he can get a glimpse of it but not see the whole leopard. With his vision at this time, he could also see that this was a matter of course, after all, the cultivation level was there, and it was impossible for him to come into contact with the true Divine Soul Dao during the foundation building period, and it must be accessible to him when he reached a higher level of cultivation. Therefore, I also accept it calmly, between gains and losses, it is fate, and it is not advisable to suffer from gains and losses.
Unraveling the secret of the oracle bone inscription made Bai Fan relieved, but it also gave him a headache.
The reason is that the heart recipes are all written by Guangchengzi in ancient grammar, and the gap between them and later generations cannot be calculated, and Rao is his extraordinary attainments in ancient books and classics, and it is difficult to fully understand. At the same time, these are all without punctuation, and different sentences can easily lead to completely different meanings, and they are not as detailed as 'Xiao Zhoutian's body protection and qi'.
Therefore, the current situation is like knowing that the treasure is in front of him, but he must break through a labyrinth to get it, there is only one real path, but there are hundreds of forks in the road, and every time he makes a mistake, he may be seriously injured and even worry about his life.
However, at this stage, he will not give up the mental method that can improve the mental power, although the spiritual power does not improve the combat power at this time, but the role in other aspects is very large, whether it is to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, or the resistance to illusion, it is closely related to the strength of the spiritual power.
Besides, even if he didn't need these mental methods to cultivate the Immortal Secret himself, the other disciples of the Immortal Gu Sect couldn't do it, so he had to figure out the correct interpretation of these mental methods.
Time passed silently, and I don't know how long it took, Bai Fan suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, got up and opened the door, and walked towards the courtyard where Xu Fu was.
After a while, I came to the courtyard where I had been drinking, and the weather was fine, and the sun shone through the leaves, forming mottled shadows and spots, like a light guide, which not only kept the freshness under the canopy, but also gave people a warm sense of light.
