So Shi An went to find Zhen Qing again.

In the study, Zhen Qing was about to send Zhang San to find Shi An, and just when he saw him come in, he said, "I was about to look for you, but you found it yourself, did you ask about the pill?"

Shi An didn't have much confidence in the Blocking Spirit Pill, and when he saw Zhen Qingzhi asking himself proudly, he pushed the boat down the river and said yes.

"The spirit blocking pill has been refined, the attributes of the five-flavor spirit grass are all wood attributes, and the combination is relatively easy, that is, the water beast pill is complicated, the main thing is that the beast pill has not been used before, so it took a few days of hard work to ponder, and it was refined last night, there was no accident, a total of thirty-six, I left two for further research, and the remaining thirty-four are all for you." Zhen Qing took out a jade bottle and handed it to Shi An.

"Thank you, Senior Zhen. Shi An opened the cork and looked at it, a bottle full of round blue pills the size of a rosary, with a fresh medicinal fragrance. He hurriedly put away the jade bottle.

"Don't take this elixir yet, I still have to study what its function is. ”

"Got it, Senior Zhen. Shi An didn't know how to answer.

"Your husband hasn't come to pick you up yet?" Zhen Qing seemed to have just remembered that there was such a thing.

"No, I'm still waiting for him, and I may have to stay here for a while. Shi An said apologetically.

"It's okay, such a big Danfang doesn't need you to eat a mouthful. Zhen Qing said, "Have you read your book?"

"After reading it, there is nothing wrong with "General Theory of Lingcao", and there are still some details in "Introduction to Dan Dao" that I don't understand. ”

"Have you finished reading it all?" Zhen Qing was a little surprised, "There is nothing wrong with the "General Theory of Lingcao"? "There are only details in "Introduction to the Dan Dao" that I don't understand?" "I think that when he was in the Qi refining period, he was praised by his family as the most likely to become the next generation of alchemists of the Zhen family, and it took him nearly half a year to understand these two books, so Zhen Qing felt unbelievable, so he asked, "Then let me ask you, what is Huanglong Dan?"

Huanglongdan is the second Dan prescription annotated in the "Introduction to Dan Dao", Shi An has long been familiar with it, so he said without thinking: "Huanglongdan is a tonic and gain pill used in the Qi refining period, the main function is to directly inject the aura in the spirit grass into the Qi Sea, generally used in the third to eighth layers of the Qi refining period, and the preparation raw materials are five parts of Huanglong grass, two parts of three black grass, one part of red oil flower, one part of five-flower leaves, and one part of fire cloud ginseng. Huanglong grass, the elixir of the earth, is produced in the shade of the mountain, likes to be born under the Kuimu tree, and often grows with the iron plum grass. It sprouts in two years, blooms in ten years, and sets seeds after half a year, and usually survives for 100 years. It can be used in medicine for more than three years after the seeds are set, and it must be stored in a wooden box after picking to prevent the loss of spiritual energy. The main effect is to act on the qi sea acupoint, which has the effect of stimulating the growth of the qi sea. The melting point is low, and it can be melted for half an hour with three percent of the earth's fire. Sanwu grass, water elixir ......" after talking about a cup of tea, Zhen Qing was dumbfounded.

After a while, he reacted and muttered, "Is this really only seven days old?" Not only can you tell the composition of the elixir, but you can also combine all aspects of the spirit grass in the general theory of spirit grass, which ...... This...... This can't be, Zheng'an, are you really just a scholar?"

"I studied medicine for a few years before I became a scholar for my husband, so I knew some herbs. Shi An said vaguely.

"No wonder," Zhen Qing patted his head and said, "I said, there must be a foundation for being so familiar with elixir." I have a foundation in elixir, and I also have a certain understanding of Dandao, and I may also become an alchemist in the future, Zheng'an, why don't you learn alchemy with me. ”

"Thank you Senior Zhen for your love, I don't dare to think about the future now, I just want to cure my soul-absorbing physique as soon as possible. ”

"Also, if you can't build the foundation, you won't be able to be an alchemist. I'll also check the information about that elixir again to find out if it can cure your physique as soon as possible. ”

"Senior Zhen, I also want to ask you if there are any books on divine consciousness here?" Shi An asked.

"Yes, yes, but you have to see what it does, and now you can't cultivate. Zhen Qing was a little puzzled.

"I just wanted to know something about the Divine Sense, and I don't know anything about it. ”

"Okay, there are books about the Divine Consciousness everywhere, and I have one here, so I'll have to figure out where to put it. However, the mental method of cultivating divine consciousness cannot be given to you, this is the family's, and only the children of the family can cultivate. After saying that, he rummaged through the bookshelves for a while, and found a booklet called "Miscellaneous Treatises on Divine Consciousness" in the corner and handed it to Shi An.

Back in the cabin, Shi Ann began to read the book.

According to the book, the starting point of this consciousness is the five senses of the human being. The five senses are color, sound, fragrance, taste, and touch, which are produced by the five senses of the person, color is vision, from the eyes, sound is hearing, from the ear, fragrance is smell, from the nose, taste is taste, from the mouth, touch is touch, and comes from itself. From this arises the five consciousnesses, namely the eye, the ear, the nose, the tongue, and the body. In addition, there is the sixth consciousness, which is the consciousness of consciousness, that is, the prototype of divine consciousness, which is generated by the ancestral senses, which is the perception of the five senses that is formed by touching the five senses, and is captured and recognized in the sea of consciousness. For example, the eye can see all kinds of things, which is called color, and this is the function of vision. Eyes can only see, not distinguish, and must project their eyes on the sea of consciousness, and use the "Dharma knowledge" in the sea of consciousness, that is, consciousness, to distinguish these items, such as this thing is a spirit stone, and that thing is a jade slip. So consciousness comes from the other five senses and is a higher product of the five senses.

There are also levels of consciousness in functioning.

The first level is our consciousness in the general sense, and the initial role is to discriminate, such as for newborn babies, we can distinguish that the appearance of the parents is different,** There is also a difference between the smell of and the smell of; then there will be various concepts, the one with a long beard is called the father, and the one who feeds himself every day is called the mother, the sweet smell is called milk, it is fragrant, and the sour smell is, it is smelly, etc.; and then there are emotions such as likes and dislikes, dislike the father who has a straight face every day, and prefers the mother who smiles at him every day, likes the fragrant milk, and hates the smelly feces. Then there are various deeper understandings, such as the reason why my father keeps a straight face every day is because of the heavy burden of supporting the family, he also loves himself, and although stinks, it is also an indispensable step in the physiological process. Then there are memories and fantasies, and finally there is the cognition of the natural world and social groups, intimacy and alienation, love and hate, honor and disgrace, etc.

The second level is the so-called divine consciousness, and the position where the divine consciousness arises is the ancestral aperture in the middle of the two eyebrows, and it is collected in the sea of consciousness. Just as there are differences in spiritual power cultivation, there are also high and low realms in divine consciousness.

The first realm becomes out-of-body and is usually attained during the foundation building period. This stage is divided into two levels. In the first level, the consciousness cannot be released, but can only be used to look inward and observe one's own condition. As you deepen your cultivation, you can reach the second level, where your divine consciousness can be released to explore a wider range, which is a further expansion of the five senses, such as reading the contents of the jade slips, and so on. The higher the level of cultivation, the wider the scope of exploration.

The second realm is called the transfer of objects, which is generally attained by monks after the attainment of the Dan. In this realm, after the release of the divine consciousness, it can also manipulate tangible objects like an aura, which is called the divine consciousness imperial object. A monk like Yuan Miaozi can achieve the flight of the sword by means of the release of spiritual energy or the release of divine consciousness, but Yuan Miaozi's divine sense cultivation is not good, and he has not yet reached this realm, and he can control the magic weapon to attack and defend, but the flight of the sword can only rely on spiritual power.

The third realm is called touching the gods, which is to further expand the ability of the five consciousnesses so that they can probe the sixth consciousness consciousness of others, that is, to observe the Dharma consciousness of others, which is often referred to as the art of mind-awareness. This realm can read the minds of others, but it requires that the realm of the divine consciousness being observed is much lower than that of the observer, so that it can come and go without a trace, otherwise once it is detected and guarded, there will be an oolong incident that is difficult to get his true thoughts and is misled by it.

This book ends abruptly here, and at the end it also introduces the general practice of cultivating the divine consciousness, that is, strengthening the five consciousnesses, using elixirs, and practicing the spiritual method.

To strengthen the five senses is to pay attention to the daily exercise of the five senses. The improvement of spiritual cultivation will also increase the sensitivity of the five consciousnesses, and the daily unremitting training will also have a positive effect on the improvement of the realm of the divine consciousness. With the help of elixir, it is possible to improve the realm of divine consciousness through natural, acquired elixirs, of course, the acquisition of such spiritual objects depends on personal creation. Practicing the Divine Consciousness Mind Method is the safest and most reliable method, but there are very few Divine Consciousness Cultivation Methods in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and their rarity far exceeds the Spiritual Qi Absorption Method, but the only Divine Consciousness Mind Method is also uneven, like the Zhen family's Divine Consciousness Mind Method, but it is just the lowest grade, even if you want to practice it, it is even more difficult.

It's been two days, and he has read through "Miscellaneous Treatises on Divine Consciousness" several times, and he already knows the truth in it. Shi An secretly thought that he could now look inward, and he had indeed reached the requirements of the first level of out-of-body appearance, although he had not yet reached the foundation, but the second level of out-of-body could also make some attempts. It's a pity that there is no jade slip in his hand, so it is better to go to Zhen Qing to see if there is a chance to ask for a piece.
