"Second brother, why are you sweating all over?" Bai Yiyue asked strangely.

Two hours have passed......

Shen Xingchen, who was dressed up, looked at Bai Xianyue and asked, "Don't you feel anything abnormal?"

Bai Xianyue shook her head and said, "It's okay! It's good, have you encountered any problems?"

Shen Xingchen asked again, "Big brother, do you feel abnormal?"

Rixi shook his head.

Could it be that only the Immortal Mountain Seal has an impact on the cultivation?

With a "squeak", the afterglow of the setting sun shone in, and a figure slowly appeared at the door.

As the door closed, the figure slowly became clear.

Shouchuan smiled, "How?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Shouchuan walked up to Rixi first and asked, "Rixi, how is it going?"

"The size of a fist. Rixi's answer was simple and clear.

Shouchuan nodded, but seemed to be a little disappointed, and asked again, "What about the instantaneous moon?"

"It was originally the size of a basin, but I refined it again and shrunk it to the size of a bowl. ”

I saw that Shouchuan's eyes lit up, and there was obvious joy on his face: "Well, that's good, what about the stars?" Shouchuan continued to ask.

The first stage of practicing the path of Jindan is to gather qi and condense it. The eldest brother and the third brother don't know all the methods like themselves, so they must practice step by step according to the records of the codex, so what Shouchuan asks will naturally only be the size of the gathering qi.

As far as Shen Xingchen knows, it is normal for a person with normal qualifications to practice Taiyi Zhengong to gather qi to the size of an egg on the first day, and those who exceed it are people with higher qualifications, but when the eldest brother said that it was as big as a fist, Shou Chuan obviously felt disappointed, could it be that in Shou Chuan's eyes, the eldest brother is not just such a qualification? Could it be that the seal on the eldest brother's body will also restrict his cultivation?

Shen Xingchen asked, "Uncle Shi is talking about the size of the gathering qi?"

Shouchuan nodded: "Otherwise, what do you think I'm asking?"

"Scattered. ”

Shouchuan was surprised: "Scattered?"

Shen Xingchen nodded.

"Rixi and Instant Moon will go out first. Shouchuan said slowly.

Bai Xianyue and Rixi glanced at Shen Xingchen strangely, and walked out of the door together.

"What do you mean by scattered?"

Shen Xingchen said unhurriedly: "The size of an egg in the Condensation Qi Refining Dao will naturally disperse, I have tried many times, and the result is the same." ”

"Are you sure it's scattered?" Morikawa seemed a little incredulous. "Have you noticed the picture of the hundred mountains on your body, is there anything unusual?"

Shen Xingchen didn't hide it: "I don't know, even with the naked eye, I can see that the gathered qi is disappearing around the Baishan Diagram." ”

Shouchuan muttered to himself, "That may have been absorbed by the seal." ”

That's right! Why didn't I think that the gathered qi would disappear around the Baishan Diagram, it should be that the seal was absorbed! Originally, it was recorded in the book that there were two ways to lift the immortal mountain seal. One is an external force, and the other is that the sealed person lifts it by himself, but the head master tried it with the Heavenly Punishment Array on the day of the canonization. Will the seal be unsealed after absorbing it to a certain extent? Will this be the key to lifting the seal on its own?

"Uncle Shi, what should my nephew do?"

"Did you think of the key point in breaking the seal?"

Could it be that Morikawa's thoughts are consistent with his own?

"Uncle Shi is saying that it is like a qi rush, and when the seal is absorbed to a certain extent, it may be the time when the seal is lifted?"

"Do you still know what Xingqi Chong Guan said, didn't you follow the steps in the Codex?"

Oh no, the Xingqi rush level on the codex is mentioned, but that's in the back, it's really wrong......

"I heard from a senior brother who was cultivating before, and I just started after reading everything in the codex. Shen Xingchen could only argue.

"It's not completely impossible!" Shou Chuan didn't doubt Shen Xingchen's ability to read books, but said thoughtfully. "From now on, you gather your energy every day to see how the seal has changed. ”

Shen Xingchen nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Shi." ”

"In the future, you can enter and exit the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion at any time, and check the Taoist scriptures more to see if it will help your practice. ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

"Go and rest!"

"Yes. Shen Xingchen walked out of the room.

"Second brother, what's the matter, what did Uncle Shi say to you?"

"Uncle Shi said, with our qualifications, my eldest brother and I may have been restricted by the seal. ”

Bai Xianyue: "What do you mean?"

Shen Xingchen: "Let's talk as we go." ”

The three of them walked towards their residence in the back mountain......

Shen Xingchen: "People with normal qualifications gather qi for the first time to condense and condense, and it is normal to refine the size of an egg, and those with the size of a fist are high-grade qualifications." However, Uncle Shi was not very satisfied with the results of his eldest brother's practice. ”

Speaking of this, Rixi's face did not change much.

Shen Xingchen hurriedly said: "However, eldest brother, don't be discouraged, after leading our uncles and uncles to find a way to break the seal on our bodies, our cultivation will definitely soar to the sky one day, and each of us can practice according to the codex." ”

Rixi nodded.

Shen Xingchen continued: "Uncle Shi also said that we can casually go in and out of the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, consult various scriptures and scriptures, as well as different methods, and find a more suitable way of cultivation based on our own characteristics. ”

Bai Xianyue hurriedly asked, "What about you, second brother, what do you mean by 'scattered' just now?"

"It's just that cohesion can't make ......"

"What?" Bai Xianyue shouted, "Can't the true qi condense?"

Shen Xingchen hurriedly covered Bai Xianyue's mouth and said, "You be quiet." ”

Bai Xianyue looked around, gently pushed Shen Xingchen's hand away and said, "What's the matter with the second brother?"

Shen Xingchen smiled bitterly: "After we condense our true qi, we need to condense it in order to ensure that it is not leaked, but I can't condense the true qi, that is, it is possible that we will not be able to cultivate Taiyi true qi." ”

"Can't cultivate?" Bai Xianyue shouted in surprise again.

Ay...... It's useless to cover your mouth again.

Shen Xingchen replied helplessly: "Hmm." ”

Bai Xianyue: "How can this be?"

Shen Xingchen: "It may be a problem with the seal." ”

Bai Xianyue: "Didn't Uncle Shi find a solution?"

Shen Xingchen shook his head and replied. Then he smiled and said, "Now among the three of us, only Instant Moon has the most outstanding achievements, you have to work hard." ”

"Hey, what I just said is quite modest, I have condensed that breath three times, but I think it is too fast, I didn't finish reading the codex when I read it, I don't know what to do next, and I am worried that the true qi will run away, so I simply condensed it into the size of a bowl. ”

Could it be that the Yin and Netherworld Seal is helpful to the practice of Taiyi Zhengong?

"Just as we expected. Shouzhen looked at Shouqing and asked, "What do you think, junior brother?"

Shouqing: "Very likely, so do we need to give him a hand?"

Shouchuan hurriedly added: "Two senior brothers, I don't think this matter can be rushed, why don't you let him practice on his own for a while and observe the changes in the seal, so that we can make a decision?"

Shouqing: "Senior Brother Shouchuan is right, we can observe for a while before making a decision." ”

Shouzhen: "You just said that Rixi may also be affected?"

Shouchuan nodded: "Well, although Rixi's cultivation has surpassed that of ordinary people, I think that if there is no seal restriction, there should be better results." ”

"It's also highly likely. Shouzhen: "What about Bai Xianyue?"

When asked about Bai Xianyue, Shouchuan finally said with a smile on his face: "He is definitely beyond the imagination of the two senior brothers. ”

Shouqing smiled: "What's the explanation?"

Shouchuan: "According to his own words, he has repeatedly refined his true qi, and finally has the size of a bowl. ”

Shouzhen smiled: "That's good, there is finally a person who is not affected by the seal, so we can also worry a lot." ”

Shouqing: "Senior brother, although Bai Xianyue's cultivation results are good, you also need to pay attention from time to time. These three people have been in the Taizhen Hall recently, so they need to worry about the juniors and disciples. ”

Shouchuan nodded and said, "I and the other senior brothers will take it to heart." ”

Scripture Pavilion

Located in the backyard of the Taizhen Palace, there are five floors in total, and the mahogany is built into a tower.

On the first floor, there is a desk next to the door, a guard disciple is meditating, four red pillars in the hall are supported by each other, the building is nearly two zhang high, the left side is the staircase, and there are eight bookshelves scattered in the middle hall.

The shelves are filled with all kinds of Taoist scriptures.

"So many?" Bai Xianyue picked up a scripture book casually and said, "How long will this be practiced?"

Shen Xingchen picked up a book of scriptures and flipped through them casually and said: "There are many Taoist classics here, reading them when you are cultivating the Dao, it will help you cultivate your body and mind, and most of the others are martial arts classics. ”

Bai Xianyue walked to the top of the stairs and leaned upstairs and asked, "What are there on the second floor? Is it the same book? Or is it a higher-level method?"

"Huh. Shen Xingchen hurriedly stopped Bai Xianyue: "Xianyue, Senior Uncle only let us check our sect's exercises on the first floor, you better not run around, otherwise the guard brother on the second floor will be unkind to you." It is a felony to steal the scriptures of the Scripture Pavilion without permission. ”

Bai Xianyue said reluctantly: "Got it!"

Shen Xingchen picked up one of the martial arts classics and quickly flipped through it, and after a while, he changed to another book to continue to consult......

Every classic book was only roughly read once and then put down, as if there was no one that could arouse Shen Xingchen's interest.

"Second brother, don't you like any of this? ”

Shen Xingchen looked at Bai Xianyue blankly and said, "I've seen it all!"

Bai Xianyue: "You turned so fast!

Shen Xingchen has a wonderful void, in a small wonderful void, he has the world's martial arts classics and the more important methods of the world's various sects, for the various martial arts classics of Baixian Mountain in front of him, although Shen Xingchen knows that it is not as good as what his master Zhao Qin taught, but he does not mean not to put it in his eyes.

For most of the classics, although Shen Xingchen has read them in the past, he also knows them by heart, and in the books here, there will be more detailed explanations and the perceptions of the disciples who have practiced in the past dynasties, so Shen Xingchen can just read it cursoly. In fact, in the process of flipping through, Shen Xingchen still saw a lot of classics and scriptures that he had not read before, as well as some insights into the martial arts and exercises of other sects.

Shen Xingchen smiled: "I have taken every one of them seriously, but I have had a skill since I was a child, ten lines at a glance, and I will never forget it, so when I see it, I can basically record it in my heart as long as I glance at it." ”

Bai Xianyue suddenly remembered Shouchuan's verification of Shen Xingchen: "Yes, you still have this ability, it's really good, you don't need to waste time watching anything." ”

"Big brother, Instant Yue, there are still a lot of martial arts of our Baixian Mountain here, you all learn some. ”

Bai Xianyue: "Is it useful to practice so much?"

"Traditionally, our cultivators have divided their cultivation into two kinds, one is the Tao and the other is the martial arts. ”

Bai Xianyue and Rixi put down the books in their hands and looked at Shen Xingchen.

At this moment, the guard disciple who was still meditating just now also slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Xingchen.

"Dao practice is to cultivate the divine consciousness through the practice of qi and condensation, and you can exert different exercises and spells. The methods of each sect are different, and in terms of martial arts, it is actually about practicing martial arts. However, practicing martial arts and Taoism can also enter the Tao in a certain realm, which is only different from the Tao in direction. ”

Bai Xianyue and Rixi glanced at each other and looked at Shen Xingchen again.

Shen Xingchen continued: "Cultivators can use the true power in their own body to exert their power, or they can use the power of the outside world to exert greater power. Martial arts into the Tao, in fact, is to practice martial arts after sticking to the element, strengthen its own physique, refined in the primordial spirit, even if there is no practice of divine consciousness, qi meridians, it can also achieve a very powerful effect, martial arts has a body sanctification. Once a person has become a saint in the flesh, his mind is extremely strong, and even a person with a strong Taoist practice may not be able to suppress it. The two are obviously different, for example, a magic weapon, a person who cultivates the gods and enters the Tao can use his divine sense to urge the power of the magic weapon in the air, just like we see the flying sword of Senior Brother Yihuan, which can be controlled from the body, and the person of the martial arts can also use it after cultivating to a certain extent, but the weapon must not leave the body, so that the power of the magic weapon can be exerted. There is a book here that records that there are many people who have entered the Tao with martial arts in Buddhism. If such a person fights with others, it is basically a melee combat. Of course, there are also many people who double cultivate martial arts, complement each other and help each other to improve their skills. Shen Xingchen also put down the book in his hand: "In fact, there are people who are born unable to cultivate divine sense, so they can choose martial arts." ”

"Second brother, how can you enter the Tao with martial arts?"

Shen Xingchen: " In fact, the beginning is very simple, that is, continue to practice martial arts moves, when you practice to a certain extent, your body will have a certain perception of everything in the outside world, and the body will respond quickly, which is a bit like the formation of divine consciousness, but you can't extend your divine consciousness outward like a person who has cultivated himself and entered the Tao, and will only have a perception of everything that is close to himself, and usually we keep repeating martial arts moves just to subconsciously use the moves we usually practice after being perceived, so I ask you to learn more martial arts moves and practice more。 In this way, even if you encounter a close opponent in the future when you can't submit your opponent with martial arts, you can also use martial arts moves to fight. There is also a record in the book here that the practice of Puzhao Temple began to be like martial arts, sticking to the original essence and sealing one's body, but their exercises are not only as direct as martial arts, and they can also extend their divine consciousness after they have achieved success. ”

"Is there anything so clear here?Which one?I'll ......take a look at it too," said Bai Xianyue, who walked to where Shen Xingchen was standing, looking for the classic book that Shen Xingchen had read just now.

"I'm a little tired, so I'd better go back first! Shen Xingchen hurriedly pulled Bai Xianyue and Rixi and walked out, "Aren't you wasting time! I will tell ......you what I see in the future."

The disciple of the guard looked at the back of the three of them leaving, got up and walked to the position where Shen Xingchen was just standing and picked up a book and opened it at will, feeling that it was wrong, he put it back and changed it, and then changed it, and then changed it......

"Did you mention any of the books here? I didn't pay attention to them before, and I think I'll have to take a good look at them in the future......" He said as he closed the books in his hand and put them back on the shelf, picking up another book and opening it......
