Chapter Twenty-Six: Into the Mountain
"Yes." Mo Lin's eyes immediately widened, and his "studious" appearance was several times more serious than when he listened to Zhu Pingman's explanation of spiritual energy.
"No matter how worried you are here, that little girl doesn't know. Even if you run into the mountains, your skills are not as good as that genius boy, and you can't even protect yourself, so you can only be looked down upon......" Zhu Ping talked eloquently, analyzing the situation for Mo Lin.
Mo Lin's head kept nodding like a woodpecker, waiting for Zhu Pingman to give him an idea.
“…… So if it's you, I'll go into the mountains and look for the remnants of the meteor. Once you find it, not only the little girl, but also the people in the village will be impressed with you. With this credit, I don't think you will lose your competitiveness to that genius boy. ”
Hearing Zhu Pingman's idea, Mo Lin's eyes lit up.
"Sure enough, it's a good idea, I'll leave for the mountains tomorrow."
"It's okay to go, but I'm going to teach you a few tricks first, remember to practice diligently on the way, if you don't make progress when you come back, I can't spare you."

Early the next morning, Mo Lin packed up and quietly left the village and entered the Sunset Mountains without informing anyone.
Unlike the last time he went to the Sunset Mountains to mine, this time Mo Lin's body was much stronger. After a month of running and training, Mo Lin's physical fitness has greatly improved. Although the joints still make trouble for him from time to time, the impact is not great.
Mo Lin kept Zhu Pingman's advice in mind, and kept the rhythm of breathing when walking, and the muscle coordination ability he learned during running and practicing also made Mo Lin change a lot of redundant movements and avoid unnecessary physical consumption.
"Grandpa's method really works." Although the mountain road is still rugged, Mo Lin is much easier than before. More than a month of cultivation has had obvious results, which made Mo Lin convinced of Zhu Pingman. He believed that as long as he continued to work hard, it wouldn't be long before he could become as powerful as the Ink Artist.
After walking for a full day, Mo Lin didn't even see a ghost shadow in the mountains. At sunset, Mo Lin came to a dense red pine forest.
There was a faint layer of mist steaming in the red pine forest, and the afterglow of the sunset carried the crimson on the girl's cheeks, shining on the mist in the forest, and it was even more intoxicating purple red. (One light click of yours warms my entire codeword life.) Let's watch the fantasy channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! )
Mo Lin kept Zhu Pingman's teachings in mind, and when he saw that the sun was about to set, he stopped hurrying. He wandered around the woods, found a stout red pine tree, and decided to stay on it for the night.
When he went out this time, Mo Lin carried a lot of useful tools, such as the most commonly used flying tiger claws. The Flying Tiger Claw, made of stainless steel, is an essential tool for ink artists to travel in the wilderness, especially for rock climbing, tree climbing, climbing houses and climbing walls. Mo Lin first wrapped the rope he carried around the tree, then tied it around his waist, and then flew tiger claws on his two gloves, clamped the trunk of the tree with his legs, and climbed up.
The trees in the Sunset Mountains are very luxuriant, and the reason why Mo Lin chose this red pine tree is that it has countless branches and leaves. Halfway up the climb, Mo Lin found several thick branches that were entangled, and the branches and leaves on them were intertwined.
Mo Lin used a dagger to cut off some obstructive branches and leaves, and after a little repair, he actually cleared up a spacious world. Although it is not enough to lie down and sleep, it is more than enough to be used for meditation.
This place is more than ten meters above the ground, and the beast will never be able to climb up, so Mo Lin doesn't have to worry about safety at night. He took the dry food out of his pocket and munched on it.
By the time Mo Lin had eaten and drunk enough, the sun had completely set, but fortunately, the moonlight was sprinkled in the forest, and he could vaguely see.
"Woohoo!" Mo Lin's familiar wolf howl sounded. At night, the Sunset Mountains are the territory of the beasts, who come out of their nests to forage for food and begin to rule the night.
Mo Lin is on a tree, so he is naturally not afraid of wild beasts. He slowly relaxed according to Zhu Pingman's teachings, and prepared to continue cultivating into meditation.
There is no very clear boundary between the nine realms of meditation, and it is often just a slight change in the mind that jumps several times. Before, Mo Lin was able to see the stars of the universe, and it was already at the level of stillness.
Mo Lin is now alone in the forest, although the cries of wild beasts are heard from time to time beside him, but there is a rare silence in his heart.
There was a slight wind in the forest, blowing rhythmically like breathing, and whenever the wind passed, the leaves beside Mo Lin would rattle slightly.
"Remember, the real state of mindless meditation is just to observe everything, but not to think. Don't use your consciousness to control distracting thoughts, and there is no end to subduing another thought with one thought. If a distracting thought arises during meditation, just watch it, do nothing, and let it pass slowly. Perhaps after this thought passed, another thought arose. But there is always a gap between thoughts, and that is the present moment. If you meditate for a long time, this gap will increase, and the time spent in real meditation will increase. ”
This is Zhu Pingman's guidance last night, after Mo Lin has his own profound experience, Zhu Pingman's words are equivalent to solving all the doubts in his cultivation.
According to Professor Zhu Pingman's meditation method, Mo Lin sat cross-legged on a tree, closed his eyes, and placed his left palm inward in front of him. The palm of the right hand is also facing inward, and it circles the left hand from the inside out.
The palm of the left hand is first aimed at the Mooladhara at the base of the spine, and from there it is slowly raised until the Sahasrara is slightly higher above the head. Along the way, his right hand kept circling around his left hand, and when he stopped at Sahasrara, Mo Lin's mind flashed and he tied a knot in his consciousness.
After tying the first knot, slowly lower your hands from your sides, quiet for a while, and then do a second time. There are three veins in the human body, so repeat this three times, tying a knot for each of the three veins.
After doing this three times, Mo Lin felt a slight coolness on the top of his head, which was like the taste of mint grass, which was sweet and silky, making people feel very comfortable.
The set of actions taught by Zhu Pingman is called "Opening the Mind", which can improve the body's perception of spiritual energy and have a cool feeling, which means that Mo Lin has made a good start.
After improving the body's sensibility, Mo Lin began the second step, "Holding the Technique". He placed his left hand on the left side of his body with his palm facing up. The right hand is slowly raised from the left side of the body, past the top of the head, and then falls to the right side of the body in an arc like a knife gesture, as if forming a protective shield.
After the right hand is steady, then return from the right side of the body to the left side of the head through the top of the head, and this one is counted as one time, for a total of seven times.
