The morning sun was shining, the room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, a pair of slender white hands with ten fingers were gently tapping on the keyboard, and when he finished typing the above row of words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Whew!" Finally figured out the synopsis of the new book, and now those bastards can't be picky, saying that the synopsis I wrote is fooling them. ”

Turning off the computer, Zhao Futu picked up the water cup on the side and drank it all in one gulp.

Getting up early every day with a glass of warm water is a habit he has been developing for many years. He was not in good health when he was a child, his foundation was weak, and because he was frightened a lot when he was young, he was always afraid of the dark, afraid of a person, prone to fever, and sick. It wasn't until he got a little older that things got better, but some one-sided memories of his childhood indirectly prompted him to be curious about some mysterious things.

Sandalwood, this is something that ordinary people are familiar with, but rarely use.

Generally speaking, there are not many places where sandalwood is lit except for temples and other places. Sandalwood has many special effects, but the most obvious effect is calming and calming the mind. Sandalwood has unique aphrodisiac properties, but it can dispel anxiety and soothe the mind.

The ancients said that 'burning incense and bathing' was the first to recommend sandalwood.

The sandalwood lit in the room is secret, and it is basically impossible to buy it with money on the market, which is Zhao Futu dragged the relationship and customized it from some channels, just such a box is equivalent to a month's salary of ordinary white-collar workers. Lighting such extravagant sandalwood in the room, of course, is not just for enjoyment, in fact, Zhao Futu is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, the reason why he does not hesitate to spend a lot of money is actually for another purpose.

"I finally understand why money should be put first in modern times." Zhao Futu took a look at the sandalwood that had not been lit, pinched it off, and prepared to keep it for next time. The savings in his hands are not abundant, and his little manuscript fee alone cannot fully support his consumption. Prices have skyrocketed in recent years, and it is a little bit to be able to save a little.

was young and sick, which made Zhao Futu's life path deviate from others.

That is, from the age of fourteen, he began to come into contact with Dan Dao, which is commonly known as 'Nei Dan Shu'. Qigong is an extension of this, which was hot for a while in the 80s, but eventually calmed down.

The so-called health preservation is actually an idea that is born when people feel that they are not in good health.

If a person is in good health, unless he has read too many martial arts novels and Xianxia novels, it is difficult to think of this aspect. When Zhao Futu first came into contact with Dan Dao, he hadn't had much contact with novels, so his purpose at that time was very simple and direct, that is, to recuperate his body. His health is not good, his congenital foundation is weak, and it is not enough to exercise alone, but he also needs to be warm.

This led him to the path of the traditional Dan Dao, which took eight years.

There are no apprentices, and there are no cheats.

Zhao Futu also thought that he didn't need these things, because his fundamental starting point was not Taoist cultivation and becoming immortals. He is looking for the remnants of ancient books that have been handed down little by little, sorting them out by himself, exploring them by himself, removing the dregs, taking the essence of them, and finding his own path little by little. His purpose is to recuperate his body and make up for his congenital deficiencies, nothing more.

Eight years, water mill work.

Some people who didn't believe in it at once have now experienced it themselves and are beginning to believe.

Some people who originally believed in it, but now they realize that it is just some people who are deceiving people, and they understand that the road is their own.

"Sandalwood, vegetarian, Lantian jade."

Dan Dao is a bit mysterious, but it is not mysterious at all, the key is just a 'quiet' word, but this simple word, but there are many people who have no way to understand it in their lives. At first, it was something very superficial, but the later you go, the higher the requirements for 'stillness', which is not just about adjusting your breathing.

It takes talent, also known as aptitude!

It is very difficult for people without qualifications to really be still, so there is no way to feel the qi, and there is no way to condense the qi, and finally turn the qi into the body's original energy. People's talents are high and bottom-based, some people are quick in thinking, but their minds are active, and it is difficult to calm down, and some people have a simple personality, but their minds are pure, and they are often easy to get started.

This is talent, expertise, whether you can get started with Dan Dao, the key is in this word 'quiet'.

But.

This world has its own cause and effect, everything is not absolute, and there is often a way to remedy.

It's like a person with a huge mind, it is difficult to concentrate his mind and really calm himself, but he can use external objects to achieve the effect of concentrating and calming his mind. In some novels, there is a saying that 'seizing the heavens and the earth and creating it for one's own use' is not without reason. A person with a lot of thoughts, if he can achieve a vegetarian diet every day, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and then pair it with sandalwood and other soothing things, then he can achieve the effect of calming the mind.

Allow yourself to be truly still.

"Let's go to the store." Zhao Futu moved his muscles and bones a little, and then fried a few poached eggs for himself, which were medium-rare, and after eating, he planned to go to the store to have a look. He doesn't have a regular job, and people prefer freedom, so he writes something in exchange for manuscript fees. However, due to the national conditions, there are very few people who are really willing to spend money to read books, and the income from manuscript fees is quite reluctant, and he writes something more just as a hobby, and the real source of income is still a clothing store.

The clothing store was left to her by her mother, and after her mother died, he gave it all to Aunt Lan to take care of.

Aunt Lan was a good friend of his mother's life, and the two had a good relationship, and later partnered to invest in this clothing store, and now there are two branches, and the business is not bad. Aunt Lan is a very good-hearted woman, originally after Zhao Futu's mother passed away, she could completely set up her own door and open a separate store, because the customers were in her hands, and Zhao Futu was not good at business.

But she has always insisted on this, and the store still has half of Zhao Futu's shares, although he basically can't help.

Zhao Futu is a single-parent family, and Aunt Lan is also a divorced woman, perhaps it is because of the same illness that she will become close friends with Zhao Futu's mother. Aunt Lan only has a fourteen-year-old daughter, so she has always regarded Zhao Futu as her own and taken care of her, the only bad thing is that Aunt Lan is stricter than her mother, which often makes Zhao Futu a little helpless.

It's like the money in the store, and he often doesn't let Zhao Futu handle it, because Aunt Lan is afraid that he will learn bad if he has money.

Men become bad when they are rich!

This truth is considered by many women to be a wise saying.

Therefore, Aunt Lan often educated Zhao Futu, and said bitterly: "Little Futu! This money can't be handed over to you for the time being, it's your mother who asked me to keep it for your daughter-in-law to buy a house. You see that prices are so precious now, how can you save more? Give it to you now, I'm afraid you'll learn badly if you have money! ”

In fact, Aunt Lan is not old, she is only thirty-six years old this year, she looks like she is just in her early thirties, she has a natural baby face, and she is very well maintained, according to the novel, it is the age when the charm still exists.

Therefore, whenever she said so bitterly, Zhao Futu was always helpless.

Over the years, in addition to buying him the three-bedroom and one-bedroom living room where he lives now, Zhao Futu has to earn his own expenses at other times, and Aunt Lan still keeps his money bag.

However, he didn't really care about it.

Because Zhao Futu was originally a very casual person, he did not have too high a pursuit of materialism.

"Xiao Zhao? Go out! Downstairs, a middle-aged aunt asked with a smile.

Zhao Futu nodded, revealing a somewhat stiff smile, and said, "Yes, go to the store and have a look." ”

With that, he trotted away.

Mencius has a cloud: "Dwelling and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body." ”

Most of the people who have achieved something in the path of cultivation are in a peaceful state of mind and are born with an aura that makes people feel friendly. This is a definite thing, because without such a state of mind, there is no way to break through the later levels, and there is no way to enter the fate with 'quietness'. Strictly speaking, if you can't reach such a state of mind, it is impossible to break through the obstacles behind you and enter a deeper realm.

Therefore, many people who are called cultivators on the Internet, and then spit on each other, in Zhao Futu's opinion, don't evaluate it.

Zhao Futu is very popular in this community, but the bad thing is that many middle-aged aunts want to introduce their own girls or other people's girls to him. This is also the reason why he smiled a little stiffly just now, for him, these things are not urgent, as long as the cultivator is not from the true background, he does not have the same set as a monk, although he also has to refrain from **, but he does not advocate absolute abstinence.

If you can't cultivate immortals, you have to suffocate yourself, isn't it cost-effective?

However, Zhao Futu is now at a critical moment of breaking his life, and it is not suitable to talk about his girlfriend now, so he can only avoid it.

If you want to talk about cultivation or something, it's not mysterious at all.

There are two schools of cultivators now, one is a latent cultivator like Zhao Futu, the starting point is health preservation, most of them know how to recuperate because of poor health, and then as they go deeper, they begin to understand some things outside the world. Such people generally do not casually proclaim that they are cultivators, and they do not teach the exercises everywhere at all, they are just like ordinary people, no different.

The other faction is the Divine Stick School, which always likes to talk about some specious and mysterious things, and the biggest feature is that it is a good teacher!

The people who spit on each other on the Internet are basically people from this faction.

Cultivation is not magical, true qi is not magical, there are many ancient Chinese medicine with true qi with acupuncture to treat people, Zhao Futu spent eight years, but also warmed out the true qi, he has not practiced martial arts, but in the case of matching the true qi to exert strength, he can easily open bricks empty-handed. If you want to say anything supernatural, this divine light, that holy light, colorful, colorful and so on, he doesn't believe it at all.

Sometimes when he hears what those gods are fooling people there, Zhao Futu can't wait to pick up a brick and snort!

How long has science been developing?

The current environmental degradation has gradually proved that science is not the best way forward.

As a cultivator, one should neither be superstitious about those legendary immortals and attaining enlightenment, nor superstitious about scientific materialism. All the answers are the things that I have confirmed all the way, groped all the way through, and witnessed the understanding of my own witness.

In one word, it's called.

-- Evolution.

These are actually two different evolutionary paths.
