Chapter 51: Learning Begins
The feeling of being talented is not so wonderful. Li Jingxuan didn't know how others felt, in short, he was inspired by his teacher Xia Di to make such a move, but he didn't feel very good. In the golden light, Li Jingxuan only felt that countless needles were densely stimulating his skin. It makes itself painful, itchy, and tender. For a moment, the vitality in his body swam wildly, and there seemed to be signs of developing in the direction of going mad. At this moment, his face involuntarily showed a sad look.
"Hurry up and restrain your vitality and make it ...... standard" Xia Di saw the pain on Li Jingxuan's face, he was slightly stunned at first, and then realized what was going on. At that moment, he shouted loudly beside Li Jingxuan, and sent the words of vitality into Li Jingxuan's ears, which made him wake up suddenly: "Don't be too nervous, talent is also a kind of qi, and it can also swim according to the tendons." It's just that it increases in a different way than the vitality. You are now cultivating the Yuan Qi Xiaocheng, and the talent qi that has just entered your body is instinctively regarded by your body as a different kind of true qi. You don't have to think so much, you just need to guide it, use your vitality to contain it, drive it, and incorporate it into your Tanzhong acupoint. Talent is based on Tanzhong acupoint as a dantian. ”
"Understood!" Xia Di's words made him nod lightly in Li Jingxuan's ears, as a cultivator who had endured hardships, he did what Xia Di said at the moment, endured all kinds of uncomfortable feelings from his body, and ran his vitality in the meridians, and bit by bit wrapped the talent that pierced into his body.
Parcel?
That's right, it's the wrap and not the fusion.
In Li Jingxuan's view, although these talents that enter his body are also a kind of qi, he is still very different from the vitality generated in his body. If the vitality is like water, then the talent seems to be like oil, the two can be mixed together, but there are still corresponding boundaries. Oil is oil and water is water.
So how to pour such a clear boundary of "oil" into your own meridians, let it slide along your own meridians, and move your own meaning to Tanzhong****?
Li Jingxuan thought of the skein method. That is, to treat the talent as a silk thread, wrap it around it with its own vitality, so as to entangle it and strand it, and then move it in the meridians.
Li Jingxuan believes that this should play a role in the smooth transfer.
And in fact, this is exactly the case.
Moreover, with such a twist, the "qi" instinct that wanders in the meridians is much thicker, and its speed seems to be more rapid. Under the control of the same mind, the efficiency of using this "twisted qi" to move seems to be 30% faster than that of ordinary energy—which is quite a significant increase.
"Well, it seems that I will often use this method to move my vitality in the future. This makes my energy output run much more efficient. Li Jingxuan thought to herself.
It's all for later.
As for the moment, Li Jingxuan's own mind is divided into two purposes: while guarding the spiritual platform and not being stimulated by external feelings, while manipulating the vitality to make it act according to the original trajectory, while transporting Zhou Tian's qi cultivation and cultivation yuan, he will also move the talent that has not entered his body to Tanzhong little by little, and store it in it.
It wasn't something that happened overnight, on the contrary, it was a long journey. From the time of the first day of the voyage to the evening of the fourth day of the voyage, after two days and two nights, Xia Di took the book that had exhausted his talent from the top of Li Jingxuan's head.
At this time, the scroll, which had already seemed very quaint, was even more old, and the inexplicable luster that circulated on it disappeared, leaving only the yellowed pages trembling in the process of grasping, and it looked like it was going to fall apart anytime and anywhere.
"How do you feel?" Xia Di gently turned the scroll aside and asked Li Jingxuan.
"It's a little weird, I just feel that my chest is a little swollen, as if it is about to explode at any moment. Li Jingxuan frowned slightly, and stroked his heart with his hand, telling his feelings.
"That's the ancient time when you added so much talent out of thin air. Now your talent has reached the pinnacle of your ambitions, and even slightly exceeded. It's just that this is completely foreign, and you suddenly have such a great 'power', no wonder you can't bear it. Xia Di saw at a glance the problem that Li Jingxuan was talking about at the moment, and explained to him in a low voice: "You are like a child wielding a sledgehammer now, no matter how you look at it, it is a little weird." ”
"Then, how do you get rid of these discordant feelings?" Li Jingxuan hurriedly asked. You must know that it is his own body that has this feeling of disharmony, and he doesn't want this feeling to continue until one day he suddenly has a seizure and takes his own life.
"What should I do? I think the teacher must have a way. Li Jingxuan looked at Xia Di eagerly, hoping that he would show him a clear way.
"As I told you, talent is different from vitality, and there is no way to enhance it by moving vitality and circulating meridians. If you want to strengthen your control over these foreign talents, you must calm down and study the text. Just like ordinary students. Xia Di explained with a smile.
"Isn't this the same as before?" Li Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't this back to the old road that took a long time?"
"No, it's not. Because you have talent in you, and these talents will develop your intellect little by little over time, so you are still different from those students who come up step by step. To put it simply, if you have the talent first, you will learn much faster than them. Xia Di said with a smile.
"Ah...... This is really good news. Being able to learn quickly, that's exactly what I want. Li Jingxuan suddenly rejoiced when he heard this. However, he was happy for a while and then put it down: "It's a good thing that having talent in learning can improve the effect of learning." Why hasn't such a good approach been popularized? Is there any harm in this?"
The reason why it has not been popularized is that no one will cherish something that is too easy to obtain. If you learn all the knowledge by yourself, you will definitely cherish it and get the corresponding precipitation from the process of learning. However, this method makes the whole learning process short, although the knowledge obtained in the end is no different, and the cultivation of the mind that can be obtained from the process is also gone. This is a big disservice for those young people. Xia Di sighed and explained: "Cultivation is also the cultivation of the mind, and if the heart is poor, it will naturally not go far." This is something you will need to overcome later. ”
"I understand!" After listening to Xia Di's Chunchun teachings, Li Jingxuan nodded and accepted.
He moved for a moment and sat cross-legged for two days and two nights, his slightly numb body, and then asked, "Teacher, now that I have talent, how should I practice next?"
"Now that you have a rough understanding of the Analects and the I Ching, you should now go through all the remaining knowledge of the Four Books and the Five Classics. Xia Di thought for a moment and replied. As he spoke, he walked to the wooden box in the corner of the cabin, took out a few books from it, and handed them to Li Jingxuan: "You can read the four books first." "Analects", you have already learned a little, then then learn "University", "The Mean", "Mencius". Here are three more of the four books, and there is also a "Commentary on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" that you can take back and study, preferably in a comprehensive manner. Of course, this may not be easy for you as a newbie, so I'll ask a little lower - I hope you'll memorize them all in seven days. ”
"The University", "The Mean", "Mencius" plus "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences"...... The classic text in this plus the interpretation of seven, seven, eight, and eight is not afraid of 100,000 words. memorized 100,000 words in seven days, the teacher ...... Are you sure you're not kidding?" Li Jingxuan felt that Xia Di's request was a little too difficult for herself.
"Is this difficult?" Xia Di looked at Li Jingxuan with a smile, and even winked at him a little mischievously: "Don't be frightened by the words on the surface. In fact, you can give it a try...... I think once you actually try it, you'll understand that it's not going to be hard. ”
"Really?" Li Jingxuan couldn't continue to defend when he heard Xia Di say this, so he immediately took the book handed over to him by Xia Di and turned around and returned to his cabin.
After saying hello to Tang He, who was in the same cabin, he gently opened the first chapter of "The Mean" with the oil lamp of the size of a bean, and leaned down to read: "The destiny of heaven is sex, the way is spontaneous, and the way of cultivation is teaching." Those who are in the Tao do not need to leave in a moment, and they can leave without the Tao. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear. Don't see it, don't see it. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness have not yet occurred, and they are in the middle. It is said to be the sum of the middle sections. Those who are in the middle are also the great capital of the world. Those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured. ”
The classics of the ancients pay attention to the subtle words and meanings, and the words are beautiful. The content in "The Mean" is naturally no exception. The first chapter of "The Mean" is only a hundred words, but the truth it affirms is very mysterious. According to the explanation in the "Annotations to the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", it seems that the paraphrased text will be multiplied several times.
"What do you mean by micro words? I understand this. Li Jingxuan frowned helplessly. As a traverser, to be honest, he is not interested in these at all, but because these are closely related to controlling the breath in his body that is bulging to the extreme. In order to be able to calm down this bulging talent as soon as possible, Li Jingxuan had to pinch his nose, use his brain, and recite even if he was unwilling.
Endorsement, especially memorization of ancient texts, was a difficult thing to reach in Li Jingxuan's original thoughts. But at this time, he really began to memorize and recite, but Li Jingxuan unexpectedly found that things may not be as difficult as imagined - he just read the text of "The Mean" and the related interpretations in the "Four Books and Chapters and Sentences Commentary", and he had already memorized seventy or eighty percent of it in his heart, and after reading through it two or three times, he had completely memorized the content in it. When it comes to reciting, as soon as he closes his eyes, a huge scripture is presented in front of his eyes. This is no longer an endorsement, but a direct reading.
"Is this the effect of talent?" Li Jingxuan closed his eyes, carefully comprehended it, and found that the words he was looking at appeared clearly in front of his eyes at this time, but they were not dimmed, and what supported the manifestation of these words was not a side object, it was the talent that had just submerged in his body.
"I didn't expect talent to really have such an effect. It's no wonder that the teacher ordered me to memorize all four books in seven days. With this talent as a support, why is it still difficult to memorize these books? Alas...... It was a relief to me. Li Jingxuan thought.
His heart, which had been held high, suddenly let go, and his tense mood suddenly relaxed. And as this heartstrings relaxed, the stomach that had not been felt until now made a rumbling sound. This cry woke Li Jingxuan up, and at this moment he really felt hungry.
