Chapter 101: Visualize as one's own body
I have to say that Chu Shaoqiu is indeed a little special.
Although Zhang Dayan and Lu Qiming were close at hand, at that point in time, they did not notice the difference. He only began to get nervous when he saw that Lu Qiming's expression was different after he opened his eyes. He asked tentatively, "Qiming, did you fail?"
"It's not about failure, it's just," Lu Qiming frowned slightly, "This picture has become my second visualization." β
"At the level of the 'Great Five Elements', it's not enough to become your natal visualization?!" Zhang Dayan was shocked.
Visualizations are made with great care, and even more so with the Great Five Elements - it has been improved over countless generations that they are far more accessible to practitioners than anything else. In this case, if there is anything that can overpower the Great Five Elements Diagram, then I really don't know what a precious treasure it is;
Zhang Dayan was so curious that he couldn't do it, and hurriedly asked, "Then what is your natal visualization?"
Lu Qiming's expression was a little strange, and he paused for a long time before saying, "I." β
Zhang Dayan said: "What are you?"
Lu Qiming sighed, also a little helpless. He said, "Visualize the appearance of the object as it is myself." β
"This ......" Zhang Dayan didn't expect this answer at all, he muttered: "How can a visualized object be a living person? Even if it is the Feng Clan, it shouldn't be like this! Although the Dragon Clan and the Feng Clan are full of treasures, they canβ"
Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows, this statement is very strange...... He said faintly, "Master?"
Zhang Dayan laughed dryly, and immediately decided to take the dragon clan as an example, and continued: "I have indeed heard of people picking up dragon horns and dragon remains in strange places as visualization objects - of course, they were all destroyed by the dragon clan later, but in this case, the visualization objects are already inanimate things. But enlighten you like this......"
Lu Qiming was silent.
In fact, this kind of "visualizing one's own body" is similar to the practice system of his previous life.
In that world, the practitioner cultivates the mind inward. Legend has it that after reaching a certain advanced realm, a "true self" will be gathered - the reason why it is only a "legend" is because in the era in which Lu Qiming lived, time and space were shattered, and a hundred paths declined, and we could only get a glimpse of the prosperous era of cultivation when the Chengyuan God was in his heyday from ancient books.
Since he had not personally experienced it, Lu Qiming was not sure what the state of his natal visualization was similar to or different from the legendary "true self".
The self in the sea of consciousness was sitting cross-legged, but his expression made Lu Qiming a little unfamiliar, even uncomfortable; no, it should be said that there was no obvious expression, but it gave him a strange feeling for no reason-naΓ―ve and ruthless? Maybe this description is a little more appropriate.
Because of this, even if there is no difference between that appearance and Lu Qiming, Lu Qiming still can't completely equate it with himself.
While thinking about it, Lu Qiming suddenly heard Zhang Dayan ask: "Is it stable?" β
Lu Qiming did not directly comment on whether it was or not, but described it to him: "It's like another 'me' composed of countless tiny particles, sometimes solidified, sometimes virtualized. The two states have been alternating all the time. β
"That's not good. Zhang Dayan frowned and said, "Natal visualization is the foundation of your spiritual cultivation in the future, how can you do it if it is unstable?"
Lu Qiming shook his head and said: "I don't think it can be said to be 'unstable', and it can't be used alone." But if Master, you're referring to the point of 'whether it is easy to be destroyed', then it is much stronger than the big five-element diagram. β
Zhang Dayan understood a little, nodded for a while, and said, "That's right." Since this strange natal visualization of yours can squeeze out the 'Great Five Elements Diagram', it must be much stronger. Let me think about what you're in this state like......"
"'Dao'?" Zhang Dayan said one word first, frowned, and said: "What I'm worried about is -- will you be similar to those who practice 'Kendo' and 'Qin Dao'? It's just that those things that can't be seen and touched are turned into concrete visualizations, right? You say that the visualizations are very similar to you, but there can be no entities in the sea of consciousness, so the most likely guess is related to your state of mind." β
Lu Qiming was a little admired, nodded and said, "There is indeed a connection." I can feel it. β
Zhang Dayan said that Lu Qiming thought of it from the beginning, but it was because of some similar concepts in his previous life. And Zhang Dayan is the "aborigine" of this world, and it is not easy to guess in this direction so quickly.
Zhang Dayan continued: "That's even worse. Originally, how safe our cultivation is, how can it become like this as soon as you mix it? If it has something to do with the state of mind...... Isn't it possible to hurt yourself if there is a big fluctuation in your mood?"
Breaking through the state of mind can lead to the improvement of the realm, but if the state of mind is damaged, it can also be injured or even go mad and endanger one's lifeβisn't this the same as the characteristics of cultivation in previous lives?
Lu Qiming frowned slightly, could it be that the memory of his previous life really had such a big impact? His body is from the Feng clan, and the exercise method is "Feng Yan Jue", and the method he used just now is purely a method of cultivation, and it has nothing to do with the cultivation of his previous life--it's all like this, can there still be such a big involvement?
Lu Qiming glanced at Zhang Dayan, knowing that he was not at ease, and smiled: "It's really nothing." Master, you also know that as long as your cultivation touches the height of the 'Dao', this kind of danger is inevitable. β
"Can that be the same?" Zhang Dayan rolled his eyes and sighed, "In cultivation, 'Dao injury' has always been the most difficult to recover. What kind of sword path and sword path are those martial cultivators, and the danger is the highest and there is no way to recover - by the way, Qiming, I see that you are also cultivating the sword path, right?"
Lu Qiming smiled and only said, "It's just a beginner." β
"You know that a lot of martial arts cultivators have been practiced well, why do you suddenly have to take such a hassle to cultivate martial arts at the same time? As a result, you're good, once something goes wrong, not only do we not get the benefits of our cultivation, but it hurts even more......"
Lu Qiming couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Master, there's no need to be so pessimistic, right? I'll be careful." β
Zhang Dayan looked at him for a long time, and said: "Anyway, don't go back to Zhongzhou first, stay here for a few days to observe, and if something is wrong, I will send you directly to my grandma." β
"......" Why do you feel weird every time you hear the phrase "Master's grandmother"? Lu Qiming slandered.
Lu Qiming nodded and said, "It's okay." But I still have a hand-to-hand combat lesson the day after tomorrow......"
"Why haven't you returned it yet?" Zhang Dayan said strangely. He originally thought that Lu Qiming would withdraw from all the freshmen's classes and leave only one technique.
Lu Qiming said honestly: "Because I am very poor." β
"Come on!" Zhang Dayan said: "With the strength of your Feng clan, you can knock the teacher down with one punch." Eh, who is so unlucky, unfortunately, it happened to be your class that day! What should I do if something happens, and I will be responsible for the work injury, and let me, the dean, be responsible for it!"
Lu Qiming: "......"
"I mean really, if you want to practice the skills of hand-to-hand combat, I'm afraid no one in Zhongwu can teach you. Our teacher has only one physical cultivation, but his path is not suitable for you. Zhang Dayan thought for a while and said, "I think you can only look for it in the Taoist Academy." At least you have to find someone whose physical strength is not worse than yours, right? Otherwise, with your speed and strength, it will be enough to make up for the gap in skill. β
Lu Qiming said helplessly: "I know it too." But you can't stop practicing because of this, is it really a waste to wait for a year from now that the Taoist Academy recruits new students? β
"Or," Zhang Dayan pouted him and said, "You asked the elders of your clan to come over and greet the courtyard and walk through the back door?"
Lu Qiming: "......"
However, how to practice melee combat really needs to think of a more feasible method.
......
Five days passed quickly, and Zhang Dayan was finally relieved of Lu Qiming's special natal visualization object, and allowed him to return to Zhongzhou first.
As soon as he left the Wind Dew Valley, Lu Qiming stopped again, and he sensed a familiar aura.
Lu Qiming smiled slightly and looked back. He was thinking about how to get to know this person in depth a few days ago, and his wish really came true.
Chu Shaoqiu.
