The word "mana", I used to come into contact with it, it was all in literary works, but now that I can contact it in reality, I am excited to wait for the godmaster's teaching.

I saw the godfather stand up and walk into the back room slowly, I was full of anticipation, I wanted to wait to see how the godfather would let me exercise my mana, I saw the godfather take out a book from the back room, look at this book cover, this book is quite old, probably a book from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

The godfather handed me the book and said, "You can take it home first, copy it yourself, and then return this book to me." I took the book and opened it with joy, but as I looked at it, my joy gradually cooled and even became uneasy.

I asked Xiang Ganye uneasily: "These contents are very similar to the things I saw in my cousin, but some of them are exactly the same, although the spells are slightly different, but the names are the same!" ”

The godfather didn't seem to take my anxiety into account at all, he was still peeling peanuts and eating, and said casually: "Sure enough, you can understand the content, so it saves me from teaching, you can just read the book and learn by yourself." ”

I replied in amazement: "The book only says how to use it, not how to practice, I can only understand how to use it, I don't know how to practice."

The godmaster glanced at me and muttered secretly: "Could it be that I guessed?" ”

I didn't hear what the godmaster was muttering, so I asked, and the godmaster casually responded twice and said: "You turn the first page to see if there is a water case, you can take your cousin's altar, or ask your cousin to help you build an altar." Just use the water bowl to start this, just ask your cousin about the specific situation, anyway, he understands how to do this. So what else do you want to ask? ”

The godmaster's irresponsibility made me very embarrassed, and asked me what I wanted to ask, I had a lot of questions, but if I asked too much, maybe his old man would be unhappy, I hurriedly turned over the law book and picked out a few more important questions.

I asked the godmaster, "Well, these are all water methods, just like their usage, which is to fill a bowl with water and recite a spell on it, and then what should I do?" Drink it? ”

The godfather glanced at me meaningfully, which made me a little hairy, and he said with a smile: "You kid can't understand it yourself, it's just like what you think." ”

I was suddenly complimented, and a little happy, and continued to ask, "How many times does that have to come?" ”

The godfather replied: "It is best to do it one hundred and eight times each, and twenty-one times if it is less, and it will last for forty-nine days without interruption. Isn't it easy? ”

I frowned and sighed, "This thing is harder to practice than I thought." ”

The godfather seemed to be aroused by my words, and his tone became a little brisk, and he asked me curiously, "What's so difficult to just draw against the water bowl?" Fools can do it. ”

I organized my language and replied, "It's not difficult to recite a spell and draw a talisman against a bowl, and any able-bodied person can do it." But the key lies in the number and the number of times, and at a cursory glance, there are thirty or forty water methods, each of which is best one hundred and eight times a day for forty-nine consecutive days. I've roughly calculated that I have to have it 100,000 times, that is, I have to repeat this move constantly, up to more than 100,000 times? I almost want to challenge people's patience, many things don't seem to be difficult, but I am most afraid that things will be boring and boring, and I will have to repeat them many times, so there will be many people who can't persevere. Practicing water has all the above conditions, so I sigh that it is so difficult. ”

The corners of the godfather's mouth curled up with a smile, different from the previous one, this is not with banter, but a smile from an old man who agrees with his juniors: "I didn't expect you to be able to find the hardest part of practicing spells by yourself, that's right, practicing spells is not difficult like learning other things, the difficult thing is perseverance, and the process of learning him is extremely boring." That's right, you kid is not my grandson, if you don't understand anything, just ask me. ”

I feel as if I have made the godmaster identify with myself more, and in order to strike while the iron is hot, let the godmaster tell me more about it. I hurriedly flipped to the number of pages of those hand-made decisions on the Fa book, handed it to the godmaster and asked, "How can you pinch these decisions, godmaster, they draw too abstractly." ”

The godfather looked at the puzzled preach: "It's quite simple and clear, huh?" Forget it, you give me both hands, and I'll tell you how to pinch them. ”

Although the godmaster's understanding of the picture is no longer normal, but the ability to teach people is still very good, under the hand-in-hand teaching of the godfather, I learned the three mountains to know, the sword finger, the iron bull to know the basic knowledge of the water law...... How should these hands end?

After teaching my hand, the godfather pointed to the secret method in the law book and began to explain: "Look at this sentence, Jupiter in the East has nine qi...... The liver is woody, and the qi is cyan in the east...... These branches tell you which days to nourish the liver, and the branches can be exchanged for the hour of meridian flow, you can know when the main liver is used to nourish the liver qi every day, the liver is in the three souls and seven spirits and the main soul is the main soul, and the wood can make fire, which means that the relationship between the liver and the heart is mutual. The five organs correspond to the five elements of heaven and earth in the body, and they are mutually reinforcing...... In this way, you can ventilate the blood veins, and the five qi will be the yuan. Then you are officially entering the threshold. Do you understand? ”

I was silent for a moment, digested the content and replied, "I don't understand it very well, but I still understand the meaning." ”

When I got home from a lot of new things, I went to consult another professional, my cousin. I asked too many questions, so that he complained about the godfather, talking so much insider content to give me a new entry, what kind of stuff? Let him spend a lot of words to explain.

After nightfall, everyone went to sleep, and in the dead of night, I began to practice the water method.

Why practice at night? Because my cousin only borrowed his altar for me at this time. I put incense on the incense burner, took up the copper bowl filled with water, picked up my sword and pointed in the water and began to draw charms, and began to recite the mantra of the water sect in my mouth. After the spell and the talisman had been repeated three times, I put down the water bowl and picked up Zhang Shuwen to press my fingerprints with ink. Then he picked up Shuwen and knelt in front of the altar and began to read the content of Shuwen.

The content in the text is probably that I started to practice the water method at a certain place and at a certain time, and asked the Meishan Patriarch, the immortals and ghosts of the ten directions, and the ancestors of the dead souls of the underworld to bless me with good luck in practicing the Fa and succeeding in my cultivation. After reading the content of Shuwen, I took a copper basin and threw Shuwen into it to burn.

Then he began to chant the mantra while tapping the joints, and finally with his right hand he lit some water and sprinkled it around and under his feet. This kind of spell is called Nine Phoenix Breaking Filth, and it is used to cleanse the altar, after all, if there is something bad nearby, it will interfere with cultivation or practice.

Then I picked up the three mountains and picked up the water bowl and began to practice water, as an ambitious person, of course I have to practice one hundred and eight times.

I drew over and over again in front of the water bowl, and I was unfamiliar with it at the first few times, and I practiced it very slowly, but later I became more and more proficient, and I memorized all the spells in the first water method. But by the time of the fourth or fifth water method, my heart began to crumble, how many times have I painted it, why are there so many? How long do I have to draw? The whole person began to go berserk, and negative emotions began to appear.

By the time I reached more than 20 water methods, my whole body had stopped thinking, just mechanically drawing talismans and reciting mantras, my brain was blank, and I didn't think about anything.

Because as long as you think about it, the whole person will be very irritable and painful, and want to stop. I wanted to give up and continue practicing, and I even began to complain that I couldn't do enough, why should I draw one hundred and eight times, but twenty-one times is fine. I know it's hard, so why don't you choose a cheap one.

Although I was complaining in my heart, I was a strong person, and I said that if I chose one hundred and eight times, I would do that.

When it came to the last water method, I was counting in my heart every time, desperate for it to end quickly, and because of this, my whole attention was on counting, and I felt that my time was longer.

By the time of the last time, the whole person relaxed at once, the exhaustion immediately swept over the brain, the eyelids immediately became unusually heavy, I looked out of the window into the room, the sky outside was already a little white. Did I practice all night? No wonder it's so painful. Hurry back to the altar, drink half of the water in the bowl, bow and thank the gods, cover the water bowl with a red cloth, and leave half a bowl to use next time you cultivate.

I dragged my tired body back to the cozy little bed and fell asleep.
