Chapter 10: Meditation, Visualization

Li Yunuan sat under the leafy tree, the sunlight shining through the gaps.

In front of her was a picture scroll of Buddhist scriptures.

This is yesterday's professor Liu Zhenhua's method of concentration, through visualization to get rid of delusions, to enter into non-phase, to get rid of all the different views, to feel the vastness of the universe, the impermanence of the avenue.

It's a pity that when I went to the library to borrow the picture scrolls of the Buddha statues, most of the picture scrolls in the library had been borrowed, and all that was left behind were some defective products that were not eye-catching. Li Yunuan chose to no avail, so he had to take a picture scroll that looked quite hideous and vicious, the pale yellow picture scroll was embroidered with countless incomprehensible ciphers, and the lotus flower on the other side sat a blue-faced and fanged golden Buddha, with a seal in his hand, a red sun on his head, and Guanyin standing behind him, and the two Bodhisattvas were enchanting, each with golden light.

Seeing that the Buddha statue was strange and did not understand the ciphertext, after Li Yunuan saw the Buddha statue, he recited the meditation mantra sung by Uncle Liu, calmed his mind, put aside all the distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, learned the posture of the Buddha statue in the center, sealed his hands, and began to visualize.

......

Because of his limited talent, he has not been able to absorb the qi of heaven and earth, although he has been in the Ten Thousand Origin Sect for nearly half a year, Li Yunuan still does not have much understanding of Xiuzhen, and he is forcibly supported by an obsession. When the unknown golden particle first entered her body, she panicked, but soon immersed herself in the wonderful sensation it brought to her body, like a blank sheet of paper for the other party to smear.

After realizing that she might have embarked on a path of cultivation that was different from that of everyone else in the Ten Thousand Beginnings Sect, she had no fear, and after finishing her chores every day, she went to the library to read the ancient scrolls, trying to find traces of golden particles. Sit and meditate on each gain, imagining in your mind that the golden particles enter your body and flow through the meridians throughout your body, feeling the warmth and comfort it brings to your body.

She didn't know that this golden particle was one of the most domineering methods in the Heavenly Sect, the power of star dust. They are hard and domineering, and they can even forcibly widen the meridians of cultivators in order to run smoothly, and even blast a new meridian out of flesh and blood. For thousands of years, countless cultivators had been unable to endure the tremendous pain it had brought to their bodies, and eventually their blood qi retrograde, and their whole bodies exploded and died.

Moreover, although the cultivation of the power of the stars is always accompanied by suffering, at the beginning of cultivation, it can bring not many benefits to cultivators, and because the star chips that exist in heaven and earth are extremely rare, cultivators will inevitably make slow progress, and even decades will not be able to complete the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, let alone build a foundation. For 10,000 years, the only person who has truly cultivated the power of star dust to the realm of the Tribulation Realm is the legendary Ghost-faced Demon Venerable. However, even this amazingly talented Demon Venerable, who had been cultivating for nearly 10,000 years, had only cultivated a sixfold heavenly tribulation, and was finally suppressed by the Moon God Monarch who had survived the eightfold heavenly tribulation. The complete method of cultivating the power of star chips has since been lost, and it has been occasionally excavated in later generations, but it is only a fragment.

Li Yunuan, who didn't know that he was in front of the threshold of danger of his soul scattering, sat under the tree, his hands were sealed, imagining that he was a Buddha, hanging in the void, with a round of red sun above his head, the sunlight blessed his body, turned into tangible silk threads and turned into his body, slightly tingling, but compared to the sharp pain when the golden particles first entered the body, it was much gentler.

She meditated quietly, imagining that the brilliance would enter her body, flow through the five internal organs along the meridians, nourish the dantian, reach the four directions and corners, and go up and down the organs, surround the heart, pass through the throat, and go straight into the sea of knowledge.

As the visualization gradually deepened, more and more sunlight was blessed on the body, and Li Yunuan, who did not know that his meridians had been polished and broadened by the power of star chips, felt that his body was like a water tank that could never be filled, and no matter how much sunlight he inhaled in the visualization, he could not feel full. Li Yunuan, who mistakenly thought that this was evidence that his body could not contain the qi of heaven and earth and that his visualization had failed, so he redoubled his meditation, completely unaware that the sea of consciousness was already full of brilliance, and a small fireball was faintly condensed. The fireball was surrounded by golden star chips, slowly spinning, absorbing all the brilliance that flowed into the sea of knowledge through the dantian!

The fireball spun faster and faster, and it became more and more brilliant, and suddenly, the fireball in the sea of consciousness burst, and countless rays of light flew out, exploding Li Yunuan's headache like a split, his eyes turned black, and his consciousness fell into the endless Shura hell!

Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

The terrifying scenery that can only be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the sky is a deep red and black that the flames are about to burn out, the atmosphere is wafting with the stench of sulfur flames, the barren earth is cracked, the magma is faintly visible in the cracks, and death is everywhere as far as the eye can see. Millions of spears stood on the ground with half-decomposed corpses, and she lowered her head to see countless demons in the crimson and dark muddy water, with their festering hands stretched out and lunging towards her!

Even on the night when the Southern Tang Palace was breached, I had never seen such a nightmare!

The sudden terror frightened her to the ground, and she was about to scream for help! However, the horror had just formed, and suddenly changed in front of her eyes, and the hideous demon yaksha melted into a black goo with foam, and a demon god wrapped in purple-black poisonous gas rose up, and her huge fingers like a small mountain moved slightly, the crimson sky cracked, and hot magma erupted, about to turn her into ashes!

......

Not good!

A hundred meters away from Li Yunuan, Liu Zhenhua, who was inspecting the visualization results of the outer disciples, suddenly got up with a serious expression.

Visualization and meditation are both the most basic aspects of practice, but they are also the most easily tempted by demons, and if you have distracting thoughts during your meditation, you will be lured by delusions, and you will fall into the hell of Shura, and you will not be able to get out, and even your soul will be scattered.

Although the Buddhist scriptures and picture scrolls that outer disciples can borrow from the library are all introductory Buddhist scriptures, and the cultivation is shallow, even if they accidentally fall into the inner demons, they will not cause terrible consequences. But there are disciples who are close at hand, and if they don't save them when they see death, they will inevitably cause discussions.

Therefore, although he only vaguely sensed that someone was falling into demons, Liu Zhenhua still came over immediately, ready to help.

......

Consciousness was trapped in Shura Hell, Li Yunuan's face was full of pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans condensed one by one and fell to the ground.

She had no idea that a safer visualization would encounter such danger.

The Buddha picture scroll she obtained from the library was not an ordinary cultivation entry file.

As a great sect of cultivation that has been inherited for thousands of years, the library building in the inner mountain has a special person responsible for management, but the library at the outer gate is borrowed by the disciples of the outer gate, which is inevitably mixed. The picture scroll of this Buddhist sutra she borrowed is the secret method "Mahavi Luchana Blessing Sutra" lost hundreds of years ago in Luchana Temple, one of the ten major Buddhist temples of Tantra in the Western Regions. The people who entered the temple to steal the secret method, in order to avoid being stolen by the tantric Zen masters, mixed into the Wan Shi Sect and hid the scroll in the corner of the library, and only waited for the wind to calm down and take it out. Unexpectedly, this person died shortly after leaving the Ten Thousand Beginnings, and the scroll was also obscure because of the obscure text on it, and the Buddha and the Bodhisattva were born strange and strange, and no one cared about them for more than 300 years.

Of course, if Li Yunuan hadn't inadvertently introduced the power of star chips into his body and widened the meridians, even if he picked up the Mahavilujana Blessing Sutra, he would have been unable to accommodate the operation of the meridians because of the domineering majesty of the sun's true fire, and he would have burned to death in all five areas.

And Tantra takes the path of becoming a Buddha by body, and each level of refinement needs to fight against the demons of the heart, and only those who are determined can keep their hearts, otherwise they will fall into thousands of obstacles, and eventually destroy their bodies and spirits.

Fortunately, Li Yunuan is far more resolute than others because of the ups and downs. When she confronted the purple-black demon god in the sea of knowledge, she thought that this was a test that she had to face in order to introduce the golden particles into her body.

- Just taking out the bracelet will trigger the karmic fire of the Heavenly Tribulation, and it is also appropriate to practice the exercises in the bracelet and pay a hundred times the price of ordinary people.

In the great sects of the world, when disciples and disciples practice, they will have teachers and teachers to protect the Fa, reducing the possibility of encountering danger when cultivating. However, Li Yunuan took the path that no second person in the world took, and she was not valued by the sect, so naturally no one could protect her for her.

I've even survived the calamity of the Heavenly Tribulation, and what can I do with the fire of the demons in my heart!

The girl stubbornly thought that she wanted to forcibly cross the tribulation with her own heart, but she didn't want to think about it, but she secretly followed the laws of tantric cultivation.

Tantra majors in the original spirit. The demons of the heart, the demons of the primordial gods, if they can't surrender with their own hearts, even if they have to be helped by external forces and barely get through, they will inevitably break their Dao hearts in the future and repeat the mistakes of the past!

Before the mountain-like palm of the Purple Black Demon God fell, her body was already on fire, and she looked down and saw that half of her body was wrapped in magma, and she was about to turn into ashes!

But I have no right to give up, I am a rootless waste, and only by enduring a hundred times the suffering of ordinary people can I achieve something, and I can kill Kuze to avenge them!

I have to insist, this is the only way out for me!

Suddenly, the mind that had collapsed condensed again, and in my mind, the golden Buddha reappeared!

In the sea of knowledge, she imagined herself as a golden Buddha, with a red sun on her head, and two Bodhisattvas serving left and right, letting the demonic flames on the ground be monstrous, but she did not move.

More brilliance mixed with the sun's true fire flew into the girl's body, and the leaves gradually withered and scorched because they couldn't stand the domineering heat of the sun's true fire. The girl's thin body was fished out of water, soaking through the dirt from which she was sitting.

The body is getting hotter and hotter, and the confrontation between the heart demon and the heart Buddha sets off a thousand flames, roasting the body to the ground!

But she didn't give up, she absorbed the true fire of the sun motionlessly, and according to the teachings of the inner uncle, the golden-red brilliance was introduced into her body, and it flowed slowly.

After three weeks, the fiery heat that almost scorched people began to retreat, and after another sixteen weeks, the demonic flames of the Purple Black Demon God began to melt. After thirty-two weeks of operation, the golden Buddha in the sea of consciousness suddenly flourished, the Buddha's light shone, and the sea of corpses and blood quickly melted like ice and snow!

Whew~Whew~

Zhihai finally began to recover and clarify, Li Yunuan, who had already reached the limit, opened his eyes, his dry lips opened and closed, and before he could speak, he fainted to the ground.

Liu Zhenhua, who was only waiting for her to enter the demon and came to the rescue, also breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this. Although he still doesn't know why this girl is falling into demons. But it was clear that her mind was the most resolute and patient among the outer disciples he had ever come into contact with!

No wonder he has no talent, but he has to look at the ancestor differently.

Liu Zhenhua smiled, picked up the Buddha scroll on the ground, stuffed it into Li Yunuan's arms without looking at it, and called the female disciples again, ordering them to help the prostrated junior sister back to Haoyueju.

Not far away, on a mountain peak, a pair of eyes that are not stained with fireworks are quietly watching everything.

The owner of the eyes is high-crowned and broad-belted, with long sleeves flying, and a superb temperament, but in the depths of his eyes, there is always a faint sadness.

"You didn't disappoint me. ”

The man spoke quietly, and the breeze blew, and the figure melted.
