The Ninth Elder smiled and pointed ahead: "Sink to the bottom of the pool first, learn to meditate and begin!" ”

Following the direction of the Nine Elders' fingers, I found that we were standing at the foot of a mountain peak more than fifty meters high, at the top of the peak, a waterfall more than three meters wide was inclined down like a silver belt. At the top www.biquge.info of the peak, next to the waterfall, there is also a simple thatched house, which is quite meaningful!

"Due to the problem of my cultivation, I can't get a good peak, and there is basically no one to interact with in Pingsuli, so it seems a little deserted, but this is better, and it is more suitable for your cultivation!" The Ninth Elder said with some embarrassment, "Although I can't teach you too many things, it's still no problem to introduce you, and with my understanding of the Observation Lord, after your cultivation surpasses me, he is likely to teach you in person, although the Observation Lord usually sees the beginning and the end, but he is a brilliant person, with his teaching, coupled with your talent, I believe that in a few years, those elders are probably not your opponents!" ”

"Those elders are not easy to get along with, you offended them for me today, when you don't have enough self-protection ability, it's better to keep a low profile. Although there is a watchman pressing on the top, they don't dare to deal with you blatantly, but secretly, there will definitely be no less small actions! ”

"So let's hurry up and cultivate, I also said before, our Qingyun Temple pays attention to the cultivation of the Inner Dan, so you have to learn to meditate first, only if you know how to meditate, can you look inside your dantian, and then gather the essence and spirit of the whole body, otherwise without the Dao of the blessing of the spirit and spirit, it will be a papier-mâché tiger, without a little deterrent! This pool is located on the back of the mountain peak, and there is no sunlight all year round, so the water is extremely cold, although the process is a little painful, but it will help you calm down quickly! After you learn to meditate and enter the realm of emptiness in your mind, I have other plans! ”

"Uh-huh!"

What the Nine Elders said is not unreasonable, cultivating Dao Arts, not the better the heart, the kinder the heart, the more powerful, in the final analysis, it is still about understanding and talent. Some people have an excellent heart, but their poor understanding is also in vain, and some people have an average heart, but they have a high understanding, which is also a helpless thing. Therefore, in turn, this also proves why some disciples who are proficient in Maoshan art will go down the mountain to harm others for their own selfish desires!

Although I thought so, looking at the waterhole in front of me, I hesitated a little, and I hesitated for a long time before I said embarrassedly: "Master, I don't seem to know how to swim!" ”

Hearing this, the Ninth Elder was obviously stunned for a moment, and then showed a disgusted expression: "No, a young man in his twenties still can't swim?" Then you can only start from the edge of the pool, just learn how to swim, the critical moment can not only save your life, maybe also have an unexpected effect! "The Ninth Elder has a sighing beard, seeing that it is long and narrow, and when he speaks, he can always feel a lewd and sullen temperament intentionally or unintentionally!

It turned out that the Ninth Elder was not a serious person, and his originally slightly shrunken appearance coupled with his sullen heart was really amazing. I smiled in my heart, and according to the instructions of the Nine Elders, I jumped directly into the pool.

Sure enough, as the Nine Elders said, the water in this pool was extremely cold, and the moment I jumped in, it was as if I had plunged into an ice cellar, and goosebumps broke out all over my body, plus I couldn't breathe at the bottom of the water, and the water pressure around me was pervasive, and I lasted less than three seconds before I rushed out of the water!

Seeing this, the Nine Elders laughed and said: "Haha, after sinking to the bottom of the water, try to relax, try to throw away all distractions, to perceive the flow of the water around you, and when you close your eyes one day, you can also sense the direction of the water around you, then you have a preliminary understanding of how to meditate!" ”

I nodded, took another breath, and sank into the water.

The human mind is controlled by the organization of the cerebral cortex, and there are thousands of distracting thoughts at all times, so it is difficult to concentrate on only one thing after closing your eyes. For the next three days, I was almost immersed in the pool, I didn't learn to meditate, but I learned to swim first, I dare not say how powerful, at least I couldn't drown in this five-meter-wide pool.

"It's been three days, do you feel anything different?" Three days later, the Nine Elders stood by the pool and asked.

I nodded and shook my head: "There is no way to get rid of all distractions, but I feel that my thinking and spirit have been condensed a lot, as if steel has been tempered, I believe that after a few days of hard training, you should be able to enter the state you described." ”

The Ninth Elder nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Well, that's good, but don't be too anxious, your progress is already very fast, and if ordinary people want to reach the realm of selflessness in meditation, it will take more than two or three months to say the least, even if they are considered to be the Lord, it took a week to enter the success at the beginning." Your talent is better than that of the Lord, and I estimate that after two more days, you will be able to have nothing in your mind! ”

"That's right!" The Nine Elders seemed to remember something, and then said, "It's okay, you can take a look at the Qingjing Sutra, since it can be ranked among the three major Zhenguan scriptures of the Qingyun Temple, it has its reason, don't waste it in your hands!" ”

With that, the Nine Elders turned around and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

Hearing this, it dawned on me that the Nine Elders had said before that the Pure Tranquility Sutra was conducive to a quiet heart and a state of emptiness, so why did I forget it?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly took out the Qingjing Sutra and turned the first page of the Qingjing Sutra.

The first page records the origin of the Qingjing Sutra in the form of vernacular text: the full name of the Qingjing Sutra is "Taishang Laojun Says Changqing Jingjingjing", which is said to be dictated by Laojun and Wang Xuanfu. The main thrust of the scriptures is deduced from Lao Tzu's theory of "quiet and non-action", and the most important thing is that at the end of the scriptures, Ge Weng, Zuo Xuan Zhenren, and Zhengyi Zhenren are all remarkable figures in the history of Taoism.

In addition to the foregoing, the scriptures are not long, only 580 words, but the sentences are vague and incisive, and after reading for a long time, I can only barely understand the literal meaning.

"Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, and the world of fertility is born; The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon...... The lady is so clear, but her heart is disturbed; People's hearts are quiet, and they want to ......"

After reading it several times, I still couldn't understand the meaning of the scripture, so I simply closed the scripture, recited the scripture in my heart, and sank to the bottom again.

……

"Brother Sun, do you think this is really good? What if I find out? ”

"What are you afraid of when I'm here? I've been looking for someone to keep an eye on here, the Ninth Elder has just left the mountain, and now he's alone here. He has only been in Qingyunguan for three days, is he still afraid of him? And this time, we invited Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wu is the best among the disciples of the last session, and he has mastered a lot of Taoism, hehe, Qingjing Sutra, it's mine! ”

Shortly after I dived, three people sneaked up at the bottom of the hill and walked quickly in the direction of the waterhole...... (To be continued.) )
