My retreat was on a hill not far behind the residential area, and it was a stone compound that was well decorated, with all kinds of furniture and daily necessities.

"During the retreat, you have one meal a day, and I will bring it to you every day at noon, put it in the living room, and when you are hungry, you will come out to eat," said the senior sister, "Five days later, I will come to protect you, and then I will not be able to bring you food." ”

"Okay, hard work," I said.

"From now on, your two Dharma Protectors will leave for the time being, and they can't get close to here," Senior Sister said, "The movement of the Cultivation Peerless Array is too great, and they can easily be scattered by accidental injuries around you." If there is a spirit nearby, I will naturally deal with it, so don't be distracted and leave me alone. Before you leave the customs, even if you hear me or my senior sister shouting at you, it is an illusion and must not be taken seriously. ”

"Well, I understand!"

She nodded, "That's all, I'm leaving, you can cherish it yourself." ”

After seeing her off, I went back to my room and let out a long sigh of relief. After meditating for a while, I opened the oiled paper bag, took out the Wushuang Spectrum, bowed respectfully nine times, then pulled over the chair and sat down, and began the retreat and penance.

Inside and outside this house, there are twelve protective formations carefully arranged by Senior Sister, so I can meditate with peace of mind without worrying about the interference of spirits. Wushuangpu is a secret technique of heavenly machines, and there will inevitably be demonic obstacles to interfere with cultivation, my sister and senior sister have done everything they can for me, and the rest depends on my own efforts and creation.

After turning over the Five Xuan Sutras and the Heavenly Machine Diagram, the true Wushuang Spectrum revealed its true face in front of me. My sister is right, this is written with the Nine Palace Secret Talisman, if you don't learn the Secret Talisman first, it looks like an undecipherable book from the sky.

Fortunately, I have just finished learning the secret talisman, and while the iron is hot, although it is still a little difficult to read, I can finally understand the content slowly. In this book, the nine Peerless Arrays are arranged in reverse order, the first is the Nine-Star Peerless Array, followed by its urging spell, the Nine-Star Sky Cloud Spell; The second is the Eight Gates Peerless Array Technique, and its urging spell is the Eight Gates Soul Suppression Mantra; The third is the Seven Peerless Array Technique, and its urging spell is the Seven Evil Heavenly Mantra; The fourth is the Six Spirits Peerless Array Technique that I want to learn, and its urging spell is the most powerful and domineering, called the Six Phases Divine Spell.

According to my senior sister's advice, I didn't look at the other formations and spells, and I directly started to learn the Six Spirits Peerless Formation. This is a much more profound Yili work than the Five Xuanjing, its text is simple, concise, and quite jerky and difficult to understand. Fortunately, I have liked history since I was a child, and I often read ancient books in threads, and I have a certain foundation in ancient literature, otherwise I would be really good enough to understand.

To put it simply, the Six Spirits Peerless Array is to start from the perspective of the Six Phases system to interpret the principle of yin and yang changes. Much of the content is subversive, and it is more direct, deeper, and more thorough than the Five Profound Classics. As soon as I saw it, I was fascinated by it, and before I knew it, I was immersed in the wonderful world of magic.

It's like a magnificent temple where the fundamental secrets of all things change are hidden, and I'm like a greedy child, constantly extracting here. Why people who can learn the magic are often obsessed with it, because people yearn for the realm of God, and the magic is a kind of supernatural power, and you can experience some divine happiness if you learn it. The Buddha said that all living beings are unenlightened Buddhas, in fact, I also want to say that there is a god hidden in the bones of all living beings, and he usually hides it very deeply, but once the opportunity is right, such as encountering the number of techniques, he can't help but want to think about it, want to awaken, and want to restore his original face.

Now, my God, awakened.

The first time I realized I was hungry after the retreat started was two days later. The food outside has already been changed once, and my senior sister is not like Ye Huan, she will not come to stop me and make me focus on my body. Of course, I'm not the same beginner as I was now, and if I interrupt casually, the impact will be immeasurable.

I devoured the food in the living room, and in a trance, I "floated" back into the house, closed the door, and continued to study the secret art of Wushuang. I love the feeling of losing my soul, it makes me forget everything and devote myself to the magical world of mathematics. I don't even know if I've ever drunk water, I've never gone to the toilet, my mind is full of no secret charms, what I see in my eyes, what I think in my heart, everything is not the same as it used to be, only the truth of change hidden under the surface is left.

Five days passed quickly, and when I finally learned the Six Spirits Peerless Formation Technique, I vomited blood.

During this time, I only ate three meals, and my body was a little overwhelmed. The mouthful of red blood that spit out suddenly woke me up, so I quickly sat cross-legged and meditated on breathing. If you don't rest at this time, you won't be able to learn the spells later.

Only then did I remember my sister's words that she would come to protect me in five days, and it seemed that she had already counted it in her heart.

After pranayama for about three hours, my state gradually recovered, and I slowly opened my eyes, and everything was normal in front of me. The ancients said that before enlightenment, the mountains were mountains, and the water was water; When you are enlightened, you look at the mountains and the water is not water; After enlightenment, look at the mountains or the mountains, and the water or the water...... Once again, I realized it deeply.

I have learned the Six Spirits Peerless Formation, and then look back at the Five Xuan Sutra, I think it is so basic, thinking back to some of the formations that I have broken before, I suddenly feel childish and ridiculous, but my mentality is a lot calmer, in the face of the great way of creation, I have more respect, in the face of the chaotic world, I have more calm. The puzzle of life is like magic, when you can't see through it, you feel very magical, because you feel that the magic will have panic, if one day you seem to see through the secret, then you will not be curious, and you will be calm, down-to-earth, and then face any new things, you can deal with it calmly.

This is the joy of monasticism, and the beauty of it can only be understood, not described.

Now it's time to learn the Six Phases Mantra. The Musou Mantra is different from ordinary mantras, it is not complicated, but it has a deep secret meaning, and it needs to be practiced quietly with different mental methods. To put it simply, we must first mobilize the inner six phases, refine them into shape, and run them freely, and then merge the outer six phases with the inner six phases, so that the spirits between heaven and earth can freely choose and use them for my use.

It doesn't sound complicated, but it's very difficult to cultivate. With just one method of the inner six phases, I practiced for three days, and my body was sometimes in unbearable pain, sometimes it was itchy and unbearable, sometimes my whole body was convulsed, and sometimes I was in a trance. Compared to the happy time of cultivating the Liuhe Peerless Formation Technique before, it is simply like a year now.

But in the end, I gritted my teeth and persevered.

Then the illusion began to appear, on the first day of my cultivation of the Outer Six Phases, I saw a huge red firebird in a trance landing in the courtyard, I had never seen such a beautiful bird, its eyes were blazing, its eyes were fierce, and it was breathtaking. It flew around the yard, trying to fly away but couldn't, and finally it got angry and tried to storm the house to attack me. But Senior Sister's protective formation made it helpless, and after more than a dozen impacts, it screamed, turned into a ball of fire, and disappeared.

This is the first level, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, and it tests my mind. When it hits the lattice, if my heart is shaken by the slightest fear, I will be consumed by its fire of vengeance.

I thought the second level was supposed to be on the second day, but I was wrong, and shortly after Suzaku disappeared, my body tightened, and suddenly there was a surge of water around me.

I know, I guess Xuanwu is coming.

I didn't get distracted, I continued to cultivate wholeheartedly, and after a while, everything around me faded away, and then slowly disappeared. I heard the sound of water in my ears, as if I was in the middle of the sea, and at this moment, a huge Xuanwu Divine Beast split up and flew into the sky. Everything about it was so real, so real that I could feel the cold texture on its skin through my soaked pants.

I told myself that all this was an illusion and that I couldn't take it seriously, but the truth is that when I was really trapped in an illusion, there was no difference between what I felt and what I felt in reality. I was thrown into the sky by Xuanwu, and then fell into the sea, when I flew up, I was nauseous and wanted to vomit, and when I fell, the sea choked so much that I couldn't breathe, and I almost fainted with suffocation.

Is this fucking an illusion?

I can only silently tell myself that the Xuanwu main water, it is fighting with me for willpower, I must not retreat, but if there is a trace of giving up, it will drown me in this boundless sea of suffering.

In the end, I won.

After two levels in a row, I had a night's rest without any interruptions. The next morning, before I could make up my mind, a muffled thunder in the sky outside announced the arrival of the third test. This is the famous green dragon, and it came early in the morning as if it was afraid that I would slack off.

But this time I learned well, and just as it was about to trap me with an illusion, my mind moved, and I called up the Suzaku that had already been submitted. The Vermilion Bird is fire, and the green dragon is wood, I think to myself that you two are fighting slowly, don't interfere with my meditation and rest.

Not to mention, this trick is really smart, the wind and thunder suddenly broke outside, and the two divine beasts fought inextricably, but I was as steady as Mount Tai, and I became more and more energetic when I rested.

After such a start, the rest of the days will be easy, the white tiger came, I asked Suzaku and Xuanwu to go up together, and beat it together. Gou Chen came, my green dragon and white tiger flanked left and right, and I didn't wait for it to attack and obey it. Within two days, I had already subdued five of the six spirit beasts, and only that special one, Teng Snake, was left.

Among the six phases, the Teng snake is the earth of the god of fire, soft and poisonous, the main demon is weird, and the thing that bewitches the elves, it can fly to the sky, it can enter the water, it can escape to the ground, it is prosperous when it is fierce, and it is a dragon in case of robbery, and it is a divine beast that is particularly difficult to surrender. I knew that it was the last level, so in order to deal with it, I first used spells to match my mind, and set up the five divine beasts that had been subdued into a formation, just waiting for it to arrive.

However, after waiting for a long time, it did not appear.

I've forgotten how long I've been in retreat, but if it doesn't appear, the six-phase mantra will be broken, and the merit will not be complete, so I can only wait patiently, anyway, everything else will come out, and it will come sooner or later.

Just when I made up my mind to hide the five spirit beasts, the door opened, and Senior Sister walked in, looking at me with a solemn face, "Lin Zhuo, Senior Sister is here, don't practice yet, she has something to tell you." ”
