Chapter Eighty-Seven: Everything Begins with Courage
The world outside the window looks small in prison, but you can still feel the arrival of the morning from the warm sunlight.
"Hiss ......"
"Squeak Squeak......"
There are some slight sounds in the wind, which makes the lonely space more life-like.
I don't know if it was because of those voices, or because of the sunshine, Lu Beichen gradually woke up from his confusion.
He stretched out his hand, shielded himself from the glare of sunlight, and slowly opened his eyes.
This is the third day of coming to the Holy Capital.
Although three days is short, for Lu Beichen, it is like spending three years in the mountains.
Because too many things have happened in the past three days, and because he has never been able to deliver the letter to the Holy Emperor.
"Except for the Holy Emperor and the Prime Minister, don't mention the matter of sending letters. ”
That day, the master talked lightly about the matter of delivering the letter, and Lu Beichen had not expected the seriousness of the matter. But now, he felt more and more that the content of the letter must be related to the existence of the beast, and even the fate of the whole world.
Although I am not sure, this is very likely, which is why he just said "It's too late." ”
He regretted it a little, but he also rejoiced a little. Although the general found the letter, there was no way to open it, and there was no way to destroy it, so that the secret of the letter would not be revealed and would not be easily dissipated.
Master's move is probably helpless, right?
The master knew that the road was far away and dangerous, so he cast the formation, but because of this formation, Lu Beichen was unreasonable, and he delayed a lot of time.
If it's a 100,000 urgent matter, is it really right to deal with it like this?
The night rain is known through the window, and it has never stopped. He couldn't see the lightning, but he could hear the thunder, which seemed to mock his situation.
Thoughts, melancholy, dissatisfaction, and anger all of a sudden, welled up in my heart. All the emotions seemed to gather together in an instant, condensed into a resentment, and drove the young man to clench his fists tightly and slam his fist against the wall.
"Master, what should I do now? The prime minister never showed up. And even if the Blue Sea General is a close confidant of the Prime Minister, he has to be cautious. Lu Beichen thought in his heart, eager to sort out a feasible path from his chaotic thoughts
Seeing that the Holy Emperor has to participate in the national examination, and to participate in the national examination, he needs to find Prime Minister Zheng Hangcheng to introduce him.
What if the prime minister never appeared, and he had to obey his master's orders and keep it a secret until the moment he met the Holy Emperor?
Something suddenly occurred to him.
The national examination is an examination for cultivators, so as a teenager who has not succeeded in building a foundation for fifteen years, even if he is recommended by the prime minister, what is the use?
The result of this incident is likely to be that he bothered to enter the national examination and then threw his life on the field.
When Lu Beichen thought of this, he suddenly felt that this was a task that there was no way to complete.
"Hiss ......"
But at some point, those squeaky sounds gradually faded and were replaced by those hissing sounds.
Lu Beichen looked up when he heard the sound and saw a net that had not yet been woven.
It turned out that those squeaky sounds were the sound of birds chirping outside the window.
Those hissing voices did not come from outside the window, but were close at hand.
Seeing the net that had not yet been healed, a faint smile swept across his face.
He remembered a story that Master had told.
"Thousands of years ago, spiders didn't weave webs. Later, due to the invasion of the bee clan, the spider clan faced the danger of extinction. Inspired by the Weaver Girl, the Spider King weaved hundreds of webs in one night and caught countless pests before he was able to compete with the bees in the years to come. ”
"The story is boring because there is only a beginning and an ending. But who would have thought that the spider knows the web in the air and the weaver girl knows the web at home, how can it be the same thing?"
"So one thing they do stupidly, but they think is clever in my opinion, and that's to keep trying. ”
"At the beginning of weaving, the body is still heavy, the net is often broken and often broken; gradually weaving gradually feels that the body is as light as silk, the net becomes a sheet, the line is straight and even; and then weaving, gradually repairing and gradually changing, in one day actually weaves more than ten large and small nets. Just when the spider was very happy, the queen bee actually pierced the webs in an instant. ”
"Most people think that spiders know webs is an innate ability, but they don't know that behind the hundreds of webs in one night, there are actually thousands of failures and attempts. In fact, the Terrans have also gone through countless breakthroughs and attempts to establish themselves on this continent. ”
The story was really boring, and sometimes he even wanted to make fun of the spiders, and if he asked the Weaver Fairy, he might not have to take so many detours.
But today, on the contrary, he felt that the spider was really brave. Because they are brave enough to try and then face the failures that follow.
Besides, how could the Weaver Girl know how a spider should weave a web in the air?
Even if the Weaver Girl knows, can the spider understand if she asks?
The broken cobwebs on the eaves looked lonely against the clean walls around them. But the next scene makes people feel more emotional when they watch it.
A spider struggled to crawl towards the broken web.
There was always a heavy humidity in the Ocean Palace, so much so that the surrounding walls were a little damp. And due to the damp walls the spider climbs to a certain height and will fall.
It climbed up again and again, and fell down again and again......
Looking at the little spider that suddenly appeared in sight, Lu Beichen's heart was filled with a trace of emotion - even if he had learned to weave a web, the spider had to face failure in different environments. But even so, the only thing the little spider was doing was to keep trying, and then try again when it failed.
Lu Beichen's head moved forward slightly, and he said to himself, "That note, that's probably what it means?"
Thinking of this, he took out a small cloth bag from his clothes.
During his seven years of growth in the academy, Master Ming taught him excellent calligraphy, a very smooth mind, and many other things outside of practice. And this small cloth bag is the reward received on the first day of school.
In that entrance test of "who can get to Lian Gu Ya faster", Xiao Beichen inadvertently became the first person to arrive. And this cloth bag is the reward of the year, that is, the private inheritance that the master said.
The bag is very ordinary, and it contains only two notes.
But strangely, there was a note without words.
The Master said that when the time comes, the words will appear on this note.
On the other hand, there are three simple words written - "Don't be afraid." ”
On that day, he thought that the master's private transmission was some important shortcut to cultivation, so when he saw these three words, he was really a little dumbfounded.
At that time, he was thinking, how could these three simple characters be the private inheritance of the master?
Until now, he seemed to understand something. It turns out that what the Master has always wanted to tell himself, or what he has been taught in the past seven years, is a kind of learning about courage and trying.
In this way, he was more sure of his heart.
"Cultivation is very important. This is the conclusion that Lu Beichen came to after entering the Holy Capital.
He didn't feel that way before, and even if he couldn't practice, he still had those lovely books. However, after coming to the Holy Capital, everyone here ignored him, intentionally or unintentionally, because of spiritual problems.
Just last night, or a long time ago, he already had some ideas. And now, he's sure he wants to try.
That day in the stone chamber, he was bent on helping the little stone palm get out of the stone body, so he did something that now seems incredible according to her guidance.
The reason why it is unbelievable is because he never thought that the hurdle that had never been overcome seemed to have been overcome overnight.
For a long time, the reason why he couldn't practice and build a foundation was because that cold qi deeply affected the operation of his own aura.
From those scriptures that have been included in the orthodox Taoist collection, it is almost unanimously mentioned that the foundation building is divided into soul fixation, divine summoning, condensation, and spiritual induction, all of which are indispensable.
In some Taoist books, these four steps will also be called in detail as "Calm the Heart", "Recognize the Array in the Breath", "Qi Shen Dantian", and "Nourish the Qi Latent Spirit".
All methods are inseparable from "determination". The so-called soul concentration is to sit and meditate, and only then can you feel the subtle changes in the breath.
Every breath in the world has a unique wave array. Therefore, in the process of soul determination, it is actually necessary to perceive the wave array of heaven and earth aura and one's own vitality until one can clearly distinguish the difference between each breath. If you can discern it clearly, then the awareness of God will be awakened. This is the call to God.
As for Ning Yuan, it is a Qi Shen Dantian. In fact, once the consciousness is awakened, it can completely and smoothly run its own breath through consciousness, and then condense some of its own vitality into the dantian.
The spirit is to use the perception of God to attract the corresponding heaven and earth aura to irrigate the vitality condensed in the dantian, build the lotus seed, and after a short period of cultivation, the lotus seed will soon develop into a small lotus flower.
This process generally takes 100 days.
A hundred days to build the foundation, the first appearance of the spiritual lotus, this is the case.
In the days when he was studying in the academy, Lu Beichen probably read some of these books, although he didn't deliberately memorize them, but these things spontaneously poured into his mind like lead, and it was too simple to think about them.
In the past, he thought it was a big problem, unable to build a foundation but still able to remember those spiritual knowledge—it was like setting a table of colorful candies in front of a seven-year-old child who loved to chew gummies, but the child was changing his teeth.
But today he found it interesting.
When a child changes his teeth, there will always be a time when he will regrow his teeth, right?
(The calm after the waves is often the moment of precipitation.) Have you ever thought about it, in fact, you don't necessarily have to go to the prime minister for introduction, Lu Beichen actually has many ways, such as going to the gate of the holy palace to make a big fuss? Or analyze it earlier, is it really enough to have the prime minister's help? In fact, you have found that many things in life have never reached that point, and you can't think of so much. )
