Chapter Twenty-Five: Leaving the Teacher is Unfavorable
Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao followed Xuan Qingzi to the courtyard outside, and Heng Hao had already left the courtyard at this time.
Xuan Qingzi looked at Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao and said: "There are tens of thousands of cultivators, one or two enlightened people, and there are many cultivators, and I am just one of the many pedestrians, but although my cultivation is not high, I will still teach you, I hope you can be blue."
Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao nodded in unison.
Xuan Qingzi continued: "How much do you know about the four key points of cultivation, 'Fa Cai Duo Land'? ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, "I probably understand." ”
Song Xiao looked puzzled, looked at Xuan Qingzi, and then at Hu Qianqiu, completely unaware of what the two were talking about.
Xuan Qingzi stroked his beard, "Fa Practitioner, which means the method of cultivation, this is the first thing to practice, if there is no correct method, it is empty talk that other conditions are sufficient." ”
Hu Qianqiu nodded, thinking deeply.
Xuan Qingzi continued: "Our lineage, tracing back to the roots, still belongs to the Zhengyi Sect that evolved from the Heavenly Master Dao in the late Han Dynasty, and the Quanzhen Sect's dual cultivation of life, we are mainly attacking to exorcise ghosts and subduing demons, and we can also draw talismans and chant mantras, and the exercises are perfect for you." ”
"Wealth is divided into internal wealth and external wealth, external wealth refers to all the expenses needed for cultivation, you are just starting out, you don't need to worry too much, and internal wealth refers to the capital that the practitioner himself has, that is, we often call qualifications, what are the qualifications of the two of you, you will know later."
"Couples, that is, Taoist couples, are not things involving men and women as ordinary people think, but the original meaning refers to people who are like-minded and practice together, after all, there are thousands of pedestrians on the path of cultivation, and it is really difficult to walk alone.
"The earth, refers to the place of practice, at the beginning of the practice, this is still extremely important, because at the beginning of the practice, the practitioner often can not be pure, the mind can not stop, the spirit is difficult to calm, easy to be affected by external objects, fortunately, we Ling Xuan is nothing else, it is secluded, this point is not to worry much, and in the later stage, the spirit slowly blends, the heart is settled, the mind is stopped, everywhere can be a dojo, this is not so important."
Xuan Qingzi looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you understand?"
Hu Qianqiu nodded, and Song Xiao said without thinking: "What's so difficult about this."
Xuan Qingzi nodded, "That's good, I'll teach you a breathing and breathing exercise first, and you will practice it first." ”
At that moment, Xuan Qingzi taught the mantra of this exercise to Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao, and asked them to practice on their own first.
Although there are many ways to breathe and breathe in the world, they are basically the same, this exercise taught by Xuan Qingzi is also similar to many qigong and yoga breathing methods, Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao are not stupid, they have basically mastered this method after trying a few times, although they have not yet experienced how amazing this breathing method is, but breathing in this way can indeed relieve the fatigue of the body.
Xuan Qingzi looked at the learning ability of the two of them, and nodded, "Yes, now you find a comfortable place for yourself to close your eyes cross-legged, use this breathing method to slowly clear the distracting thoughts in your heart, and try to feel the heaven and earth aura floating around your body." ”
Hu Qianqiu and Song Xiao nodded, each found a place in the courtyard, swept the dust on the ground, sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes and settled according to the method Xuan Qingzi said, and tried to feel the ethereal aura of heaven and earth around them.
Hu Qianqiu breathed slowly according to the way Xuan Qingzi taught, trying to clear the distracting thoughts in his heart and feel the aura around him, but Hu Qianqiu tried like this for a while, not to mention the aura of heaven and earth, and even the wind around him didn't feel it.
After a while, Hu Qianqiu still didn't feel anything. At this time, Song Xiao, who was cross-legged and closed-eyed like Hu Qianqiu, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up, shouting, "I feel it!" I feel it! ”
Hu Qianqiu was taken aback by Song Xiao, opened his eyes and squinted at him, "What are you doing?" ”
Xuan Qingzi looked at Song Xiao, nodded at him, and said, "Not bad, this kind of speed is already very rare, you continue to feel the aura around you, imagine that your body is a void, and gradually merge with these aura, transforming them into a part of your body." ”
Song Xiao nodded, and continued to close his eyes cross-legged, feeling the aura around him.
Xuan Qingzi turned his head to look at Hu Qianqiu again and asked, "How?"
Hu Qianqiu shook his head, "I haven't felt anything yet." ”
"It's okay, don't rush, take your time."
Hu Qianqiu responded, closed his eyes, and continued to try to feel the aura around him.
But after a long time, Hu Qianqiu still didn't feel anything, and he didn't feel a little anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't feel anything, and he even began to feel that Song Xiao's so-called feeling the aura of heaven and earth was just his own fantasy.
Although Hu Qianqiu heard that Song Xiao's performance when he didn't have to go rock climbing like himself was just his disguise, Hu Qianqiu's feeling at this time was indeed real, he rarely made up his mind to do anything, but once he made up his mind, he had to work hard to fight for the first place, at this time, seeing Song Xiao showing a higher cultivation talent than himself, although he was not jealous, Hu Qianqiu was still a little unconvinced in his heart.
Xuan Qingzi looked at Hu Qianqiu, who closed his eyes but frowned, and shook his head a little helplessly.
And at this time, Heng Hao, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared next to Xuan Qingzi, "How?"
Xuan Qingzi shook his head, sighed and said: "Although he is smart, his mind is too heavy, his thoughts are too mixed, and his thoughts are too many to calm down, so it is difficult to make progress for a long time, and although Song Xiao is not as smart as him, his mind is purer and there are not so many twists and turns, so he is better than Hu Qianqiu in this matter."
Heng Hao nodded and said, "This is being smart but being mistaken by being smart, but this can't be completely blamed on him."
Xuan Qingzi responded, "We can't help him with this kind of thing, we can only rely on himself." ”
And Hu Qianqiu's expression at that end was extremely hideous at this time, the more he wanted to empty the thoughts in his mind, more and more, and all kinds of ideas popped up, making him fall deeper and deeper, and it was difficult to sort out his thoughts.
Originally, Hu Qianqiu breathed according to the method taught by Xuan Qingzi, although this method was simple, but it required the breather's thoughts to be relatively stable.
Just when Hu Qianqiu was about to breathe in due to lack of oxygen, he felt as if his spirit had been stripped of his body, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer in Ling Xuguan, but in a darkness.
"What's going on......" Hu Qianqiu was a little confused.
He looked around and noticed some faint light above him.
Hu Qianqiu looked carefully and found that there were four lights, three of which were arranged in a zigzag shape from low to high and then to low, and the fourth light was above the lamp in the middle, as if it was pressing the three lamps below.
And the color of the lamp at the top is also a little weird, not like the color of ordinary candles, but a faint green, which looks a little weird.
Hu Qianqiu was about to take a closer look, but there was a huge pulling force behind him, as if someone was holding his collar.
Hu Qianqiu only felt that the darkness around him was distorting rapidly, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to Ling Xuguan, and his posture was still sitting cross-legged, as if it had not changed, and at this time Heng Hao and Xuan Qingzi were standing behind him, and Xuan Qingzi's right hand was grabbing the collar at the back of his neck.
Hu Qianqiu felt as if he had just experienced a long-distance run, and the muscles all over his body were very sore, sweating like pulp, and his mouth was dry.
Xuan Qingzi patted Hu Qianqiu on the shoulder and asked, "What happened?"
Hu Qianqiu adjusted his breathing and said slowly: "I seem to have entered a strange space just now, where although it is dark, there are four lights above my head."
Xuan Qingzi and Heng Hao looked at each other, and at the same time showed a stunned expression, and they were speechless for a long time.
After a while, Xuan Qingzi said slowly: "You have been staying here just now, maybe your thoughts are too chaotic, which causes the internal breath to go badly and has a delusion, you should rest for a while and don't think too much."
Hu Qianqiu nodded, stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and moved his body.
Hu Qianqiu turned to look at Song Xiao's side, and Song Xiao threw his eyes cross-legged at this time, like an old monk who had settled down, and he didn't notice the situation here at all.
Hu Qianqiu shook his head helplessly, and at this time, Heng Hao and Xuan Qingzi had silently walked aside.
"It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought." Xuan Qingzi said in a low voice.
Heng Hao nodded silently, "It seems that the ghost eye can't completely balance the thing in his body, and that thing has begun to be restless." ”
"We don't have a suitable thing to win now, and we can't help him, so we can only rely on his own cultivation to suppress that thing. However, the more you rush him, the more anxious he is, the slower the progress will be, so you can just know about this matter, don't tell him for the time being. ”
Xuan Qingzi nodded, "That's what I plan to do." ”
Hu Qianqiu over there didn't notice the conversation between Xuan Qingzi and Heng Hao, he didn't close his eyes cross-legged to feel the so-called heaven and earth aura, but fell into deep thought.
Although Xuan Qingzi said that what he saw just now was just an illusion, Hu Qianqiu was skeptical about it, after all, when he was a child, the goddess said that he was born with four lights, and what he saw just now, no more, no less, just four lights.
What do those four lamps mean? Why do you see them?
Hu Qianqiu shook his head after thinking for a while, he didn't think about it anymore, he didn't know much about it, but fortunately, there were many books in the side hall of Ling Xuguan, maybe there would be relevant records.
