Chapter 7: The First Attempt at Divine Skills
I was about to continue teasing Ailian, but at this moment, the door was pushed open again, and it was none other than my father Liu Zhengxiong on earth! My father was just an ordinary elementary school teacher, and his long teaching career made him form a gentle and elegant temperament, and there was always a smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze, so that people would not doubt that my father must have been a handsome boy when he was young! I myself have also inherited my father's excellent genes, although I am not as good as Pan An, but that kind of temperament and appearance are the same as my father!
It's just that my mood today is different from usual, after all, I have just opened the inheritance mark, so I know my other identity! Everything is like a dream, very unreal! My heart is like an extra treasure, I want to share it with others but I dare not say it! After all, all this is too unbelievable, I am afraid that no one will believe it if I say it, maybe they will take me as a monster and study it, or directly drag me to a mental hospital! Fifteen-year-old me, although I am young, I still have this IQ!
So I have the feeling I have now, when I see the two most intimate people in the world right in front of my eyes, and Xiaolian's shy face, everything is showing my identity as another earthling! This feeling of being separated from the unreal and the real is very uncomfortable, but I think I will slowly get used to it!
These thoughts crossed my mind, and it was a few blinks of my eyelids!
At this moment, my father had already come to the bed and said, "It seems that our young man is recovering quickly!"
It seems that my dad also heard our conversation just now!
"You take care of your son, you have to be like a monkey!" the old mother began to nag again!
"Monkey mother, don't go around saying bad things about your monkey son, okay?" I deliberately teased my mother, I was in a very happy mood today, maybe I was cured and full of energy, or maybe I had such an adventure, I inexplicably had a kind of confidence in my heart, and my thinking was active!
Dad is as stable as Mount Tai, he doesn't buy my account at all, he turned his head to look at Ailian, and said with a smile, "Yo, Xiaolian is here, and I haven't traveled outside this summer?"
Our family likes Xiaolian very much, and we have long regarded her as a family, I have a lot of fate with Ailian, and I have been in the same class and table since elementary school, and I am still in junior high school, which is a proper childhood sweetheart!
Ai Lian was amused by my "monkey mother" just now, covered her mouth and snickered there, heard her father's question, and quickly replied politely, "Uncle, you know that I don't like crowded places, and my health has always been bad, so it's better to stay at home honestly and review my homework! I heard that if I am sick with water, I came to take a look!"
Ailian's health has not been very good since she was a child, she is weak and sickly, she can't blow the wind, and her little hands have not been warm all year round, and they are often cold and distressing! I often laugh at her for being a cold-blooded animal!
After hearing this, my father nodded and said, "Yes! Then during the two months of summer vacation, you can come to our house to play and do homework when you have time, and you can bring more with you! His grades are not as good as yours!"
"Okay!" replied Elaine obediently!
At this time, I was busy parrying my mother, and she was still in a big rage because of my "monkey mother" just now, desperately pulling my ears, completely ignoring that I was still a patient! I could only beg for mercy, and my father watched helplessly, Ailian's eyes blinked and she didn't know who to help speak!
The sunset shines through the windowsill, covering us as a frolicking family, and the mellow fragrance of life fills the whole room!
There was nothing to do that night, Ai Lian also went home early, and my father also went back, only my mother had to stay with me!
I slept enough during the day, but I didn't feel sleepy at night! Lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, my mind kept flipping through the memories of the dream back to the heart, it was a bit strange to say that I was flipping through them, these memories have been buried deep in my mind, I should say that I am a memory!
However, there are some memories that give me a headache as soon as I touch them, as if to warn me that I can't read them, that I don't have enough permissions!
Just like this dream of returning to the heart, the five realms mentioned in my memory, refining the body, entering meditation, gathering the spirit, breaking the body, and selflessness! I can only recall the first of the two realms of refining the body and entering the meditation! I can't remember the detailed descriptions of the other realms! Maybe the cultivation has not yet reached the fire, and they refuse to let me know in advance. I didn't expect that these inherited memories still have such a setting, but this ignited my curiosity even more!
The first layer in the realm of refining the body is very easy to understand, it is called skin refining!
It is mentioned in memory that the sun and moon are the guardians of day and night, and the breath of yin and yang is also the guardian of all life.
Of course, there are also a very small number of galaxies that do not shine with light, but there is still life, and the life forms that survive in this environment are mostly distorted but powerful, and are feared by other life races in the universe!
Refining the skin is to first absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, refining and evolving, and when it reaches a high level, the skin will be as hard as iron, and it will be difficult to pierce with knives and guns!
And the first level of the other meditation realm is called Jiyi, which is not difficult, but it is a bit like the zazen meditation in Zen Buddhism on earth!
Hold one, that is, hold a word or a sentence, do not stop or intermittently, concentrate on the same, in order to achieve a state of meditation!
It's just that which of the two realms should I practice first, I don't know how to choose! That mystery is that I fell into a deep sleep, and I have no one to ask, so I have to decide to start practicing step by step, starting with the first layer of refining the skin in the realm of body refining! This practice can't be messed around, in case it goes crazy as mentioned in the novel, it will be over! I am very cautious in this regard!
Refining skin, according to my understanding, isn't it just basking in the sun, I guess it's not a big deal, it should be easy to master, you can try it first! What I didn't expect was that I was really afraid of something, and in the end I almost went crazy! However, this is a later story, so I won't say much here!
After deciding on this, I continued to look through my memories of various galaxies and life forms in the universe, and was immediately fascinated by this colorful world!
In my sleep, I seemed to open the eyes of heaven again, and saw countless strange particles around me, and they were endlessly colliding with each other, and the purple light, like ocean waves, washed my whole body layer by layer, I felt bathed in a pool of cool ice springs, comfortable!
What a good night's sleep!
The next morning, I woke up early, I only felt energetic, not at all I woke up groggy in the past, it was amazing! Looking out the window, just a touch of morning sun morning light came in, and occasionally a few crisp birdsong came outside, and the gentle morning breeze blew, revealing a clean and fresh smell!
I took a deep breath and couldn't help but be fascinated, I had never thought that the air in the morning was so attractive, and I used to sleep lazily, what a waste of time!
Next to my hospital bed, my mother was sleeping on a temporary marching bed, I didn't wake her up, I gently lifted the quilt and walked to the balcony, ready to start my practice plan, the first refinement of the body refining realm!
The sun shone on my young face, and it was brilliant!
Who would have thought that the fate of a bean boy would have quietly changed at this moment!
After I came to the balcony, after taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, I began to stand on the pile, my feet were separated and shoulder-level, my hands intersected, stacked on the dantian, raised my head slightly to meet the rising sun, and began my so-called sunbathing with the heart of the skin refining mantra in my memory!
There is one thing that needs to be overcome when practicing skin refining and collecting sun essence for the first time, and that is the glare of the sun's rays, and practitioners must constantly train themselves to get used to this strong light.
Today's sun is exceptionally clear and soft, like a poached egg hanging in the sky, red but not dazzling, cloudless and slightly blue in the sky!
I opened my mouth slightly and pressed my tongue on the top of my palate, took a deep breath, thinking that this poached egg changed from big to small, from far to near, and was swallowed by me in my mouth, down my throat, mixed with my saliva straight into the dantian, and then exhaled with a mouthful of turbid air!
After seven times, close your eyes, and think that the sun essence absorbed these seven times will precipitate in the dantian, accumulate into a ball, and turn clockwise, like a red sun, absorb all the essence, and then emit the dross!
In this way, seven or forty-nine counts, just as he was comfortable, a purple light suddenly flashed in front of his slightly closed eyes, and he actually felt a slight heat surging in his abdomen! Could it be that this is the legendary purple qi coming from the east!
I adjusted my breathing and slowly closed the exercises, this first exercise, it seems that I have already touched the trick, a few strokes of the slightly hot cheeks, my heart is excited!
It seems that we have to find a time to try to collect the essence of the moon! However, this collection of moon essence is very particular! The essence of the sun can be practiced in the early morning, when the sun is about to rise, and even in the evening when the sun is about to set, you can also practice! The essence of the moon can be different, it must be a few days before and after the full moon of the fifteenth day of each month, and if it is raining and windy, you can't practice yet!
This is the difficulty of the path of cultivation! Sometimes it is not that if you make up your mind, you will definitely reap the rewards, everything needs to be combined with the right time and place!
Count today's day, and it will be a week before the night of the full moon! It seems that I can't practice in the past few days! However, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry!
I turned around contentedly, but saw that my mother had already gotten up and sat up, and found that I was nowhere to be seen, and was looking around for me!
I smiled and shouted, "Mom, I'm here!"
"Yo, stinky boy, the sun is out in the west today, so early!" said my mother in amazement.
"Mom, I'm going to get up so early every day and exercise!" I made this decision with a smile!
"Hmph, I think you can hold on for a few days!" Mom didn't believe me at all. "Hey, your eyes seem to be glowing today, like a little light bulb, and they're powered on!"
"Mom, am I handsome today?" I proudly showed off!
"Bah, I'm not irritable!" said Mom!
