Chapter 57: Inconvenience in Practice
We chatted until eleven o'clock in the evening, after the lights went out.
Han Hui, the second child with a very nerdy temperament, said very seriously: "The lights are out, everyone should sleep." ”
So the dormitory quickly fell silent.
It was only at this time that Wen Shuo suddenly woke up from his excitement, among the six people, there must be someone who participated in the chat for the sake of face, in fact, people probably prefer to read more books, or, go to bed early.
So when Kang Jinhui, who was lying on the top bunk, opened his mouth and called "boss", Wen Shuo, who was lying on the bottom bunk, interrupted him and replied: "It's time, sleep!"
In the dormitory, it was quiet again.
Some people can't sleep, and sometimes they turn over and change their positions to make a little noise......
From time to time, a breeze shines through the open windows, and the smell of mosquito coils burning on the windowsill permeates the dormitory more and faster after the screen window has been used.
Wen Shuo lay motionless on the bed, but his eyes were wide open, looking at the plank on the top bunk - in recent months, he has been accustomed to sleeping synchronously in a state of meditation and practice at night, not only does it not affect rest, but the quality of sleep is quite high, and it is difficult to fall asleep while lying in bed at the moment - meditating cross-legged in the dormitory, sleeping in the practice is definitely not good, it will look very different, very neurotic, and it will also startle the roommates who get up at night.
Can you practice while lying down?
Wen Shuo closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully sensing the contact between the skin on the surface of his body and the natural five elements aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, and soon, the feeling as before was there, there was no difference. So Wen Shuo opened his eyes, grinned and laughed at himself for practicing stupidly for so long, and only now began to ponder, why do you have to meditate and practice cross-legged?
Lying, standing, walking, lying on your stomach......
Can't you practice?
Old Han Tou's notes didn't say it, and maybe he didn't know it, and the reason why he had to meditate while practicing was purely because of ......
Handed down from the older generation?
Five o'clock in the morning.
Wen Shuo woke up from his sleep - after leaving his hometown, the practice of his first night at Jingcheng University proved that it is possible to practice while lying down!
At the very least, they can perceive the natural fluctuations of the five elements of heaven and earth as smoothly as before, and they can also perceive the true qi in the body, and their minds melt into the true qi, travel and condense in the meridians and the three souls, five viscera and seven spirits, and then slowly accumulate the true qi in the central body.
However, practice has also shown that there is a huge difference in quality and effectiveness between lying down and meditating cross-legged.
To put it simply, it is more smooth to practice qi and blood circulation while lying down, but it is a little easy to sail along the river, lacking the difficulty of the qi formed after the mind is fused with the true qi, and the difficulty of hindering the progress of the body when it is running.
At the beginning of cross-knee meditation, there will be numbness, soreness, or even inability to stretch the legs, or uncontrollable numbness when the legs are extended, which is due to the normal phenomenon caused by the blockage of qi and blood in the legs in the state of cross-knee meditation. The practice of cross-knee meditation is that when the qi is blocked in the meridians in this process, try to advance and expand in the blocked places little by little, and slowly broaden the width of the meridians in the legs and feet, enhance the flexibility of the meridians and the power of qi and blood flow, so that the time that cross-knee meditation can persist will become longer and longer, and the amount and speed of the body's generation of true qi will gradually increase and increase.
Wen Shuo has been practicing so far, in just three or four months, although I don't know how long it will take to get through the body size, but the superficial veins in the skin on the surface of the body have already been combed and smooth, and the normal natural qi is flowing in and out, so meditating cross-legged for six or seven hours is not a problem.
Historically, there have been many people who have attained the Tao and have been facing the wall for days, months or even years, and have been in a state of cross-knee meditation for a long time, and their body functions can not be affected in the slightest, which is the strength of their own body qi, and the continuous improvement of the width of the body's meridians, three souls, five internal organs, six organs and seven spirits, and a kind of cultivation effect formed after the opening of the big and small weeks.
Or rather, an achievement.
In addition, in the state of cross-knee meditation, the human body is in an optimal state of harmony with the five elements, and the natural aura of the five elements of heaven and earth can be more tacitly connected, touched and integrated. It's like using the human body to lay out a magic array.
In this way, meditating cross-legged is more conducive to the practitioner's ethereal state of meditation.
This is the reason why people who have only been practitioners in the past choose to meditate cross-legged and practice, and perhaps there are other ......
It's just that Wen Shuo doesn't know yet.
But just this little realization has already made Wen Shuo quite a little complacent and self-sufficient "Lao Tzu is really a genius": "No wonder Lao Han Tou chose me as the inheritor of the Xuanfa, but it's a pity that the old guy is not kind, and he will let Lao Tzu understand everything!"
In the early stage of cultivation, the body's cultivation intention is not strong enough, the generation of true qi is slow and the amount is small, and the size of the qi is not connected, so the speed of the qi traveling around the body is relatively slow, and the efficiency is also low. When the cultivation reaches an extremely high level, the speed at which the qi circulates in the body will be jaw-dropping in a single thought--there is a sentence in the notes of the old Han Tou that is very fascinating: "Legend has it that there is a master who can think three thousand miles in one thought." ”
Wen Shuo imagined how powerful that qi must be, and if he released the qi from his eyes as a thrust at that speed and quantity......
I'll it!
In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong uses a somersault cloud, a somersault is 108,000 miles, and the efficiency is simply amazing!
That's probably how it came to be, right?
Although Wen Shuo would not be ambitious and unrealistically imagine the kind of realm that the old Han Tou had not been able to achieve, let alone hope that one day he would be able to fly three thousand miles with a fart, but he was used to meditating cross-legged while sleeping while practicing, and he was very entangled and sad in his heart—not to mention how high his future cultivation would be, just saying that lying down and sleeping affected the progress of his cultivation, which made him feel that he had caused a huge waste of time.
And waste......
It is intolerable in the concept of Wen Shuo!
So he woke up early in the morning and was satisfied with his talent in cultivation, but after breakfast, his mood plummeted.
How is it good?
Looking at a few more roommates, why is it so unpleasant?
Wen Shuo gritted his teeth and wondered if he should be ruthless and generous, spend money on sleeping pills, and secretly feed these guys every night, or prepare a wooden stick to dry them all and faint every night!
In the morning, there was a class meeting, and there was only one class in the Department of Archaeology, with eleven freshmen, nine boys and two women, which can be described as a serious imbalance.
Even so, Wen Shuo still felt that the two girls were not normal.
In the future, when we set off to practice at the field archaeological site, the girls are simply a burden, and they lack physical strength to work, and they scream in the cemetery from time to time, especially at night, because of fright......
it!
If you're not afraid of ghosts, you're afraid of people!
Besides, women belong to yin, and doing this kind of work is too much of a loss to the body.
The head teacher's name is Yang Jingbin, who is not yet 40 years old, but he is already an old man at Beijing University, who studied in the Department of Archaeology until he stayed on to teach after graduating with a master's degree, and now he is studying for a doctorate and has been rated as an excellent teacher many times.
Teacher Yang's hair is thinning, he still has a parted head, and he speaks slowly, with a clear eye, as if he is afraid of saying the wrong word. In addition, he is dressed very plainly, so it can be said that he is a little dirty. Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of students, this head teacher, who doesn't know each other well, must be a bookworm with rich archaeological experience and knowledge, but is old-fashioned and serious.
And in the eyes of Wen Shuo, who is burdened with mystical methods, this relatively young head teacher, is not simple.
There are many experts and professors in the world because of their profound knowledge, accumulation of humanistic essence and professional knowledge and thoughts, so that the body and mind have developed the momentum of evil and difficult to invade, and Yang Jingbin's aura and momentum are beyond the aura formed in the accumulation of humanistic essence and professional knowledge and thoughts of ordinary experts and professors.
This made Wen Shuo extremely curious, could it be that he could meet a fellow practitioner of the Xuanfa in the capital university?
So in the process of Teacher Yang Jingbin's speech, Wen Shuo secretly opened the Heavenly Eye and carefully observed, although because of the lack of cultivation for low true qi, he only briefly opened the Heavenly Eye for less than a minute, but Wen Shuo already had a more accurate understanding of Yang Jingbin's extraordinary aura - it was by no means the result of practicing the mystical method.
It is because Mr. Yang has been in frequent contact with ancient tombs and antiquities all year round, especially in the ancient tombs that have just been discovered, thousands of years have precipitated a strong yin and evil atmosphere and the thick stagnation of the antiquities in the tomb in time, constantly impregnating Yang Jingbin, plus he has more understanding of this kind of thing than many people, so he can resonate with the rich yin and evil qi of the history of the ancient tombs and antiquities, and it is easier to attract the atmosphere of the ancient tombs and antiquities to his body and mind.
In this kind of situation, the breath of ancient tombs and antiquities is not to moisten the body, but to invade the body!
The victim will have symptoms of mental illness such as bumping into passengers and ghosts.
In severe cases, it can be fatal!
And Yang Jingbin was not only not violated, but in the resonance of qi and thought, he cultivated an extraordinary, unknown, and unaware aura that even he was unaware of, which is also another kind of ideological sublimation - to put it bluntly, Mr. Yang has achieved an extremely advanced cultivation in the pursuit of archaeology.
At the class meeting, Yang Jingbin and the students made a brief introduction to each other, and then solemnly and seriously told the new students about the significance of archaeology, from the neo-old and old stone tools to the modern historical changes, from the proud long civilization history of the Chinese motherland, to the primitive tribes that still exist in Africa, from the tableware used by families in various periods to the majestic layout of the palace, the military defense mode of the frontier city, from the unearthed cultural relics such as utensils, burial goods, ancient buildings, etc., to the humanistic society, politics, The development of the military situation and so on all require archaeologists to study, reveal and prove in their work for many years.
After a slow and meticulous speech, it made the freshmen present feel that they had shouldered a historical mission, and that choosing the major of the Department of Archaeology was an incomparably correct decision, and what they wanted to do in the future was a great cause of great historical significance and great contribution to mankind......
