The day after receiving the admission letter from the Department of Archaeology of Kyungyang University, it began to rain lightly from the early morning.

Wen Shuo studied his homework alone at home for a while, feeling a little tired, so he sat cross-legged on the stool and closed his eyes to practice, trying to enter an ethereal state of concentration—he would insist on meditating and practicing every night, but he was never able to use his flexible consciousness to sense the fluctuations of the qi in his body in the ethereal state of concentration.

Sometimes it is inevitable to be irritable and sulking: "In the notes of the old Han Tou, why don't you elaborate on how to do it." ”

But when he was done, he would continue to try. He really couldn't coexist with ethereal concentration and consciousness induction, so he recalled some of the occult knowledge that Old Han Tou had taught by his words and deeds, or analyzed the detailed process of several practices and summed up his experience.

If you can't sense the fluctuations of the qi in your body, you won't be able to perceive the generation and operation of the true qi in the meridians and the three souls, five viscera, six internal organs, and seven spirits, and if you can't perceive vipassana, you won't be able to give birth to the true qi and guide the true qi to be stored in the central body, which is the so-called dantian. If you can't store enough true qi, it will be difficult to do the method, because the practice is essentially to use the true qi of the void mind, the spell and the semi-nihilistic state to cooperate, and after the true qi is out of the body, the state of the mind will instantly impact the aura of heaven and earth, triggering the fluctuations of the five elements of nature, thus producing various supernatural phenomena.

Since it is necessary to impact the aura of heaven and earth, change the balance of the natural five elements and cause fluctuations, then, it is necessary to have enough true qi. The longer the practice, or the more subtle and advanced the practice, the greater the demand for true qi.

However, the old Han Tou can do it during his lifetime, and after his death, he can give Wen Shuo some true qi to use, and the spells and talismans can allow Wen Shuo to use the yin and evil qi to do it......

As for why he could use Old Hantou's true qi method, Wen Shuo himself was confused.

What are the subtleties in this?

Wen Shuo analyzed that since the external true qi can be used for the practice, and the essence of the practice is that the true qi in the body is emitted outward, it means that there must be some kind of interactive connection between the two.

Based on this analysis, when Wen Shuo meditated and practiced in the past few days, he had a clear starting point for meditation and induction.

Several attempts were unsuccessful.

It was ten o'clock in the morning.

Because the windows were open and it was raining outside, the stuffiness in the house had been dispelled by the coolness, but it felt a little cooler and damper.

Wen Shuo, who still couldn't sense the qi, had just been angry and angry in the process of forcibly meditating, and felt the humidity in the air on the surface of his body, which made him suddenly realize that perhaps, his previous cultivation induction had fundamentally stubble.

The induction of qi should not be entangled in the body, but start from the surface of the body.

In this way, it can explain why Old Han Tou can give him the True Qi Method, and why he can use the Yin and Evil Qi Method.

Because these two kinds of qi are attached to the surface of the body, they do not need to flourish out of the body, but under the action of thoughts, spells, and talismans, they produce subtle inductions with each other, and then cooperate with the five elements of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and finally form a mystical method.

Thinking of this, Wen Shuo suppressed the excitement and hope that rose in his heart, and tried to experience a little bit of the subtle feeling when the skin came into contact with the air, which he didn't care about before.

During this period of insisting on practice, although he failed to achieve the ethereal state of meditation and failed to sense the fluctuations of the qi in his body, he made Wen Shuo more and more calm, and his consciousness became more and more keen......

Sensed!

It is a qi machine, and there is a qi machine on the surface of the body, and the qi that is naturally generated from the inside of the body produces a subtle, imperceptible force on the surface of the body and the air, just like a small bubble, after gushing out of the pores of sweat, it adheres to the surface of the body, and when it comes into contact with the air, it bursts very happily, spews out a little bit of true qi, and then disperses, and then there are bubbles born.

At the same time, the skin that surrounds the pores of the sweat will be soaked in the moisture of the air as the pores spit out bubbles and burst openly.

What is this phenomenon?

Wen Shuo's heart was full of curiosity and joy, and his consciousness followed the wonderful phenomena on the surface of his body, tracing back to the source, and naturally noticed countless thin veins leaning on the capillaries, almost parallel, and continued to explore, and came to the branches of the eight veins of the Qi Jing.

I don't know how long it took, when the door lock sounded outside, Wen Shuo didn't notice it at all, until his mother called his name and pushed the door in, and Wen Shuo suddenly woke up from his meditation.

"Shuo, what are you doing here?" Li Qin looked at Wen Shuo, who was sitting cross-legged on the chair, his body was straight, and his palms were naturally placed on his knees, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed to reveal a trace of worry.

Wen Shuo was stunned, his brain spun quickly, and he grinned: "It's okay, I was thinking about some archaeological knowledge just now." ”

"Then you seem to be meditating...... Li Qin felt more and more strange.

"Mom, you don't know. Wen Shuo said nonsense: "What is the archaeological contact? Ancient tombs! I have heard that many dried corpses in ancient tombs have been found all over the world, but they do not decay when they die, and the corpses are still intact and preserved, but they have become the appearance of dried meat. A small number of the corpses were not lying flat, but sitting in a very natural form, you say, is it possible that the deceased deliberately sat and died on his own? So, when he was dying, he sat and waited for death, what would he think in his heart? Can the body hold on?

Li Qin felt a chill in her back when she heard this, and hurriedly waved her hand impatiently to interrupt her son's statement: "Stop talking nonsense, why are you thinking about all this all day long?"

"Archaeology ......"

"If you learn these things in archaeology, then you should not study them. Li Qin is obviously very taboo about this kind of thing.

"Mom, this is knowledge!"

"Anyway, you can't talk about this at home!" the gods are babbling weird and scary......" Li Qin muttered and turned her head and went out.

Wen Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, he had to pay attention to his cultivation in the future.

However, thinking back to his cultivation process just now, he suddenly became excited—this was the induction of the qi in his body in the state of concentration and etherealism. Entering the ethereal state does not mean that the consciousness really does not want anything, but is completely immersed in the induction of the qi, so as to achieve a state of self-forgetfulness, forgetting everything external, and having no joy, no sorrow, and no emotional factors.

From this, Wen Shuo judged that the legendary attained masters who had been in retreat for days, months, or even years were not thinking about anything in their minds, but thinking and traveling mentally in a state they wanted to achieve, thus forgetting time and everything.

But today's cultivation is only a little bit of gain.

How is true qi generated, how does it run in the meridians and meridians in the body, the three souls, the five internal organs, and the seven spirits, what are the laws of operation, and how is it stored? Why does true qi continue to be produced but not much, and if it is passed in nature outside the body, then what is the relationship between true qi and the five elements of heaven and earth in nature......

Wen Shuo is not clear.

Han Kehu said in his notes that the master led the door to practice in an individual, and the Xuanfa attaches great importance to his own understanding, and no matter how clearly the master explains, the apprentice may also be confused.

Time passed.

Wen Shuo went out to collect waste and pick up scraps less and less.

With all kinds of government grants, scholarships, and the money he earned from collecting scrap and picking up rags, the family now has nearly 20,000 yuan in savings, which is enough for all the expenses of his first year of college. And human nature is like this, with the experience of collecting waste products like picking up money in those days, and then going out to earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, Wen Shuo's heart is a little repulsed and depressed.

Of course, the main reason is that school is about to start. First of all, he had to be busy studying to make up for the shortcomings of his real grades, and secondly, he had to be diligent in his cultivation and speculation and research on the occult method, so he had no heart and time to go out to collect waste and pick up rags.

Perseverance in practice has yielded remarkable results. However, the progress of the specific practice is fast or full, and Wen Shuo is not clear. Because there was no comparison and reference of the characters or clear stages of cultivation, he was completely alone in the groping, comprehending the mystical method described in the notes left by the old Han Tou.

The induction of qi is also the basis of practice.

After sensing the qi and becoming clearer and clearer, according to the teachings of the old Han Tou in the notes, Wen Shuo began to consciously comb the fine veins of the skin on the surface of the body, and perceive the subtle touch between the qi and the natural five elements aura in the outside world when it leaked and restrained.

It's a familiar process.

The veins on the surface of the body are combed smoothly, and the sensitivity to the outside is becoming more and more acute, when there is a slight abnormal change in the five elements aura between the external heaven and earth, he can detect it at the first time, and make preparations and decisions on whether to deal with this abnormality.

Like what:

Once there are evil foreign objects and yin evil qi nearby, that is, ghosts as ordinary people know, the balance of the five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth will appear, and there will be special changes. Experienced and advanced cultivators can instantly judge the embodiment of evil and foreign objects by virtue of their keen senses, whether they are demons, demons, monsters, or ghosts......

And a mystic, perceiving the appearance of an evil foreign body nearby, will inevitably depend on the situation, either by expelling or even destroying the evil foreign body, or by ignoring the appearance of the evil foreign body.

This, I have to mention another key point in the foundation of practicing the mystical method - opening the eyes of the heavens!

At the beginning, Wen Shuo had Han Kehu set up a magic circle before his death, and after his death, he crossed a wisp of true qi on the river embankment for his use, helping him to temporarily open his heavenly eyes, so that he could see the bruises produced by Liu Mao and Yin Tang, the four layers of Yin and evil qi infection.

The last time I set up an altar in the old mansion, and after inviting Han Kehu's soul to appear for the last time through the magic circle, the layer of true qi on Wen Shuo's body was also exhausted.

Now, in addition to using the Yin and Evil Qi sealed on the last copper coin, Wen Shuo can also do a small thing, under normal circumstances, even if he detects the appearance of evil foreign objects nearby, he can't see what the hell is.

If you don't open your eyes, how can you be a mysticist?

Therefore, the focus of Wen Shuo's next practice is to open the Heavenly Eye.
