Qingtian Pavilion, a monastery.

The residence of Chen Letian and Yang Yueshan, the stream is murmuring.

"Cultivation, above the four realms of spring, summer, autumn and winter, is not the end, do you know?" Yang Yueshan was explaining the realm of cultivation to Chen Letian.

For cultivation, the current Chen Letian only knows the four realms of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and only knows that the pulse is the foundation of qi cultivation. I don't know anything else.

Yang Yueshan is different from Chen Letian, Yang Yueshan has been in the grass house since he was a child because of his noble birth, and later after running away from home, he directly worshiped the grass house and practiced wholeheartedly. Therefore, for all kinds of knowledge in the cultivation world, large and small, he knows much more than Chen Letian.

Probably because his sect did something inauthentic and hurt Chen Letian's heart, Yang Yueshan always felt guilty in his heart, and seemed to always want to make up for something.

Today, when he had time, he gave Chen Letian a lesson.

Chen Letian swallowed melon seeds and crossed his legs, like a senior official listening to a report from his subordinates. In response to Yang Yueshan's question, he shook his head: "This cultivator doesn't know... These melon seeds taste good, you send someone to Liang Guo to bring some more. ”

Yang Yueshan took a branch and wrote two words on the ground: thirty, the first day of the new year. Then he said: "Above the four realms, there are still thirty and one or two mirrors. I heard Master say that two people reached it a thousand years ago, but unfortunately those two were enemies, and they fought a great battle in the wasteland and died together. Since then, no one in the world has ever reached this level. But the master didn't say anything to death, the master said that among the talented people in the rivers and lakes, there may be, maybe it's just that they are low-key and unwilling to show their true skills. ”

Chen Letian said: "The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year? or the thirtieth day of each month and the first day of the new year? What does it mean, and what does the last day and the first day mean?"

Yang Yueshan said: "I don't know, Master may know, but Master didn't say it, maybe he wanted me to think about it myself." ”

After pausing for a while, Yang Yueshan explained the principle of Qi pulse to Chen Letian again.

If a practitioner's body is compared to a mountain that can grow, then there are two things that determine how big the mountain is, one is qi, and the other is the veins.

The more abundant the qi and the thicker the veins, the taller the mountain.

The so-called cultivation is to cultivate qi and pulse.

Confucianism has the cultivation of Confucianism, Taoism has Taoism, Buddhism has Buddhism, and martial artists have martial arts. Confucianism can read the righteousness of Haoran, Taoism can cultivate the spirit of inaction, and Buddhism can cultivate asceticism.

Although the cultivation methods of each sect are different from the point of view of appearance, in essence, they have the same path to the same end.

"Then how should I cultivate? Where do I start practicing? What do you do first when you get up every morning?" Chen Letian no longer leisurely ate melon seeds, but sat upright.

Yang Yueshan said: "I can't teach you this, your situation should belong to Confucianism or martial arts into the cultivation world, and I am a Taoist, which is different from your cultivation method." I have to meditate for an hour every morning before going to bed, and for me, these two hours, morning and evening, are the foundation of the cultivation method to improve my cultivation, and besides, I have entered the spring realm, and you have not yet entered the cultivation realm. ”

Chen Letian rolled his eyes and said, "I feel like I'm about to enter the spring realm, in less than a month, do you believe it or not?"

Yang Yueshan said with a smile: "I hope so, I really hope that you will enter the spring realm as soon as possible, so that you and I can often learn and gain something." ”

While the two were talking, Wang Qinghong came to visit. As the first disciple of the master, Wang Qinghong usually does not have a big shelf, he is very polite to the juniors and disciples, and he is not arrogant to the other students of the academy who did not climb the Shendulou and did not become the disciple of the master. Compared with Ling Yun, the second son of the master, everyone prefers Wang Qinghong.

Wang Qinghong moved a chair by himself, sat down next to the two of them, took the tea handed by Yang Yueshan, took a sip, and said, "Starting tomorrow, the great masters will start teaching, if you have any questions, you must prepare early." Although you are a person from the grass house, you must also cherish this time in the academy, and don't waste it, so as not to disappoint the old man Xuanyuan when you go back, thinking that my academy gentleman has no ability. ”

Yang Yueshan arched his hand and said: "Yes, I will work hard." ”

Chen Letian went with Wang Qinghong to save Sun Zishu that day, but at first he didn't know why Wang Qinghong stopped fighting as soon as the Caolu disciples opened the bull and descended into battle. Later, I heard Yang Yueshan say that it was extremely exhaustive to attack the big formation of Guniu. Maybe after a battle, three or five years of cultivation will be gone. Chen Letian felt guilty and admired Wang Qinghong at this time, he didn't know how long Wang Qinghong had lost his cultivation after he attacked Guniu alone, and only listened to Jia Baguan and Wang Husheng say that after Wang Da's disciple returned to the academy, he went directly into Shendulou and stayed in it for seven days and seven nights before coming out. Seeing Wang Qinghong coming, he hurriedly stood up, and waited for Yang Yueshan to finish before he arched his hand and said: "What Senior Brother taught me is that I will also work hard, and I have been preparing for tomorrow's lecture for a long time." In addition, I would like to thank Senior Brother, thank you for spending the last time to save the Zishu, I am very grateful. After that, Chen Letian took a long look.

Wang Qinghong waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, it is my duty to save Sun Zishu, he is a candidate of the academy, and he was kidnapped by other countries on the territory of the academy, I must save him, besides, this was not saved in the end, don't mention this matter, my heart is blocked." In case I can't control myself from going to the grass house to make a fuss, I have to wipe my ass with the master, the master is so old, how can I bear it!"

Yang Yueshan saw that Wang Qinghong seemed to have something to say to Chen Letian, and it was inconvenient for him to speak here, so he excused himself to go outside.

Wang Qinghong looked at Yang Yueshan's back as he walked away, and said to Chen Letian: "I know you want to be a disciple of the master, take over the class of our group of disciples, when are you going to climb the Shendulou?"

"Three days later, after attending the lectures of Liu Shi and An Shi, I went upstairs. Chen Letian said.

Wang Qinghongqi said: "So fast, are you ready?"

Chen Letian smiled and said, "I've talked to other senior brothers before, but I don't think it's very useful." Going upstairs, no matter how much you know, you still have to experience it yourself, listen to others say a thousand ways and ten thousand, if you don't go to the real thing, even if you can't jump in the pool every night after you come back, it's worth it. ”

Wang Qinghong nodded, stood up, and pointed to Shen Dulou on the top of the mountain in the distance and said, "You have this mentality, it's very good." Although the master has always taken in disciples, he has always done it casually, and there is no definite indicator. But Shen Du Lou is a must, this is the least test of a cultivator's mind, and only by climbing Shen Du Lou can your mind be worthy of what the master taught..."After a pause, Wang Qinghong said again: "Let me tell you about my experience of climbing the building..."

The first disciple of the Master, Wang Qinghong.

It is rumored that at the age of sixteen, he entered the academy as the first champion of the imperial examination, and on the evening of the day after the entrance ceremony, Wang Qinghong climbed the Shendulou alone, climbed to the top of the building from the sixth floor, and sat on the roof of the building all night. On the second day, on the green tiles on the roof of the building, wait for the sun to rise completely, and then flutter down from the top of the building dozens of feet.

In just one night, he stepped into the threshold of the cultivation world and entered the spring realm with Confucianism, and it was the late stage of the spring realm, and there was only a layer of window paper left from the summer realm.

After entering the academy, Chen Le Tiancai found that this was not a rumor, but a fact. Because from that night to the next day, almost all the academy students, including non-monastic students, gathered at the foot of the Shendu Tower, and thousands of people held torches to look at Wang Qinghong as if they were looking at the lower realm of a saint.

Of course, some details are really just legends. For example, Wang Qinghong had a peerless beauty by his side at that time, and when he went downstairs, Wang Qinghong flew down with the slender waist of the peerless beauty; that night, Wang Qinghong had a faint white light behind him, and at dawn, that circle of light slowly flew into the sky, like a primordial god soaring; on the second day, the master entered the meditation and went out of the body with the primordial spirit, traveled to the heavens, found Wang Qinghong's primordial spirit, and forcibly brought back to the world the 'Wang Qinghong' who was almost taken away by the gods.

These Chen Letian have asked Jia Baguan and Wang Husheng, Jia and Wang said that with beauties and Yuan Shen out of the body, these are pure nonsense, they were staring downstairs that night, with all the students. There was no white light, so he sat alone on the roof of the building all night, and at first the senior brother also recited a few lines of poetry or a treatise or something, and then there was no sound, and he crossed his legs into a fixed state. At that time, it was late autumn, and the night was very cold, at first Wang Qinghong coughed a few times, and said who can send me some clothes to block the cold, so high, none of the students downstairs can go up, send fart clothes, and then the senior brother doesn't seem to be cold anymore, and he doesn't want clothes anymore. That night, the students watching downstairs were very cold, and many students who were not in the monastery suffered from the cold.

Wang Qinghong spoke for nearly an hour before he finished speaking. He told Chen Letian about the difficulties he encountered when he climbed the stairs and his own solutions.

Of course, Chen Letian listened very seriously, but there were many places where Wang Qinghong had said, Chen Letian knew that it was because Wang Qinghong was extremely talented, so he could easily break it, and he was afraid that he did not have such a high talent, and when he climbed the stairs, he did not know how much more and how difficult it was.

But it doesn't matter, keep in mind what Wang Qinghong said word for word now, and use it when the time comes, and if you can't use it, you can play it temporarily.

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your advice. Chen Letian bowed solemnly, then poured tea for Wang Qinghong with a smile, and said, "I want to ask Senior Brother for a favor." ”

Wang Qinghong was puzzled: "Do you remember what I just said?"

Chen Letian immediately raised his hand and said, "I've written it all down, why don't I recite it to you now..."

Wang Qinghong looked at Chen Letian and didn't speak. So Chen Letian really began to memorize, and when he memorized a stick of incense, Wang Qinghong signaled not to memorize it, and sighed: "Erudite and strong kung fu are so good, it's a pity not to take the imperial examination... Okay, remember what I'm telling you, and you're going to be able to draw inferences, you know, what do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Letian smiled treacherously: "Help me beat someone." ”

"Go and go, no jokes. ”

"I'm not kidding you, the person I want you to beat is Prime Minister Li Chengjun. ”

"What are you beating him for? Did he offend you?"

"No, no, he is very harmonious with me, but I chatted with him a few days ago, and I heard him say that he wants to fight with you, but he has no chance. So I wanted to help him. ”

Then I saw Chen Letian like a kite with a broken string, and was thrown by Wang Qinghong to the top of a pine tree more than ten zhang high. Hang there with your feet up and head down, attracting the sideways glances of passers-by.
