Chapter 9: Spiritual Practice

Although he didn't know what was going on, Chen Qi could vaguely guess that this black knife was definitely a divine object, and the divine object had a spirit, perhaps because his sentence just now "The domineering person is not the knife, but the person who holds the knife" won the approval of the spirit of the black knife, so there is the current scene next. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are some legends in the Federation about the Divine Blade.

Legend has it that among the real treasures of the gods, there will be a trace of spirituality, and when you follow the original owner for a long time, this trace of spirituality will record the original owner's best and most used martial arts moves, and when the original owner dies, this treasure will wait for the discovery of the destined person. If someone is able to get the approval of the treasure, then it can be called the next owner of the treasure.

And in some coincidental circumstances, the trace of spirituality in the treasure can teach the martial arts of the original owner that was recorded before to the new master.

Chen Qi thought that this was just a legend, but the current situation is obviously the same as in the legend.

These seven wonderful sword techniques are obviously the mastery of the original owner of this black knife!

Chen Qi's heart was hot, although he had not practiced sword techniques before, but at his current age, it was not yet time to finalize the choice of weapons. And this set of seven-style sword techniques is extremely wonderful, far above any martial arts he has ever seen, this is a great opportunity, if you don't learn this, do you want to learn the kind of D-level Dalu goods taught in the martial arts academy?!

So Chen Qi calmed down and carefully recorded every movement of the figure in the sea.

Until the figure used the seven-style knife technique again, with Chen Qi's qualifications and memory, he already remembered eight or nine without leaving ten.

After the figure finished using the third sword technique, Chen Qi thought that he would do it again, but at this time, he suddenly saw the figure raise his head and smile slightly in his direction - don't ask Chen Qi how he knew that he was smiling when he couldn't see the figure's face, but it felt so clear!

After the figure smiled, Chen Qi felt a huge suction force hit him, rolling his spirit out.

Chen Qi opened his eyes violently and found that he had returned to the small dark room of reality, but the seven-style knife technique was imprinted in his mind like an imprint.

He screamed, and he planned to jump off the bed immediately and practice this set of knife techniques.

At this time, he glanced at the mental smoothness meter at the head of the bed, which displayed a large number.

206!

Seeing this number, Chen Qi's whole person was not good.

There is also a mental stability meter in the small black room.

Because according to the Fury Wind Martial Academy, the punishment of imprisoning students in a small black room is secondary, the main thing is to provide an absolutely quiet environment for these students who have made mistakes, so that they can be disturbed by any external objects, so that they can return their attention to the cultivation.

This method is indeed very effective, because if you don't practice, the environment in the small dark room is completely dark and silent, and ordinary people can't stand it.

But......

Is this mental smoothness meter broken?!

206?!

How is this possible?!

When he woke up from a nightmare last night, he glanced at the mental smoothness meter on his bedside, and the number on it was only a pitiful "9".

Moreover, even when he was at his peak three months ago, his highest mental stability was only 187 points!

But now, not only has he surpassed his previous record, but he has also directly broken through the 200 mark!

How is this possible?!

What is the concept of mental stability over 200 points?!

That means that his spiritual cultivation has reached a higher realm, which is called "immovable as a mountain!"

According to the division of scholars in the new era, the mental stability of the entry period is between 60 and 499 points, and it is subdivided into five realms, collectively known as the "five realms of entry".

As mentioned before, the pineal gland secretes hormones to improve the body and develop the body's potential while it also affects people's mood. The better the pineal gland works, the greater the person's mood swings - for ordinary people, the pineal gland is the largest in childhood, and then slowly shrinks and degenerates, so children grow up fast, but they are also easy to get emotional, which is one of the reasons.

After human beings enter the modern society, the amount of information they receive every day is incomparably huge, and the developed pineal gland will cause the human cerebral cortex to be overly active, resulting in mental hyperactivity and even abnormality. The physical manifestation is an increase in distracting thoughts, cranky thoughts, inability to concentrate, and in severe cases, it can even lead to insanity.

This state is obviously harmful to the human body, so under the body's self-protection measures, it will in turn inhibit the operation of the pineal gland, and in the long run, the pineal gland will slowly degenerate.

It is for this reason that the pineal gland has the characteristics of growth and degradation in parallel.

Its degradation is the result of being completely inhibited by the body's protective system.

According to this principle, the first president of the federation that year, His Excellency Hua Lingkong, who was later known as a generation of martial gods, summed up a set of methods for developing the pineal gland by doing the opposite.

Isn't it said that the hormones produced when the pineal gland works cause mood swings?

Then I will find a way to calm down my spirit, so that the hormones secreted by the pineal gland will not affect my spirit, and naturally it will not cause harm to the human body, so the body's self-protection measures will also temporarily turn off the inhibition of the pineal gland.

To use a simple analogy.

The human spirit is like a big tree, and the distracting thoughts generated by the work of the pineal gland are equivalent to the wind around the tree.

As long as my roots are solid enough, no matter how strong the wind is, it won't cause me any damage!

Mental stability is equivalent to the root of the big tree of spirit.

The higher the degree of stability, the deeper the roots of the tree, the better the effect of the pineal gland work, the faster the pineal gland itself grows, and the greater the degree of development of the body's potential.

Of course, this effect is mutual.

The higher the mental stability, the more hormones secreted by the pineal gland, the greater the impact on the spirit, simply put, the stronger the distracting thoughts, the stronger the demons!

In such a situation, the more difficult it is to maintain mental stability, and the more difficult it is to practice spiritually.

The average person's mental stability is generally between 30-50, and only after entering a deep sleep will the mental stability occasionally exceed 60.

The 60 points is the threshold for lifting the human body's self-protection system and opening the pineal gland work.

When the mental stability reaches more than 60 points, it can just offset the side effects caused by the work of the pineal gland, remove the restriction of the human body's protective mechanism on the pineal gland, promote the secretion of hormones by the pineal gland, improve the human body, and enter the state of "spiritual practice".

However, this state is very difficult to maintain, because when the pineal gland starts to work, the hormones stimulate the emotions, all kinds of distracting thoughts will arise again, and the mental stability will fall again, so that they will leave the state of practice.

Therefore, a score of more than 60 is called a "first glimpse of the door".

At this stage, the mental stability will basically fluctuate back and forth in the 60s, and between the ups and downs, the intermittent work of the pineal gland will not have any beneficial effects on the body.

When the newcomer is familiar with the state of the first glimpse of the doorway and adapts to the distractions of distracting thoughts, the mental stability will gradually increase, and then reach 80, and then enter the next state - the mind is as calm as water.

The so-called heart is as quiet as water, and the heart here refers to the human spirit, which precipitates the spirit like water, quiet and peaceful, which is the realm of the heart is as quiet as water.

Cultivators in this realm can be regarded as officially opening the treasure of the body, as long as they keep it, they can slowly develop the potential of the body, but the speed is a little slow, and they can't stand the interruption, and if they are not careful, their cultivation will be interrupted.

There is a saying that "the wind rises and blows a pool of spring water".

A little interference from the outside world, such as the wind and grass, someone talking, or even accidentally farting, may break the realm of "calm as water".

However, it's nothing to break, after all, all the people at this stage are newcomers, and their spiritual power is still in the process of development and growth, so it won't be like going mad and flowing backwards, but being awakened from the state is inevitable, and if you want to enter the state of calm like water next time, it will take a lot of effort.

Just imagine, a beginner finally let himself enter a state of "calm as water", and before it lasted long, he was awakened by the wind and grass outside, and then he tried to enter, and he was awakened again after a long time......

After such a few times, who can continue to cultivate calmly?

When the children of wealthy families first started cultivating, they would basically practice in the "ashram" that they had spent a lot of money at home, lit with the expensive soothing incense inside, and there was a special person to protect the Dharma outside. Even more tyrants, they will spend a lot of money to hire professional hypnotists to help them find the feeling of "calm as water" through hypnosis.

So that's why, when the Angry Wind Martial Academy recruited Chen Qi, who graduated from junior high school, to come here, Chen Qi specially put forward a condition, that is, to give him a top-level ashram and give him the right to use it for free for three years.

This kind of top-level quiet room is almost completely soundproofed, even if there is lightning and thunder outside, as long as someone does not deliberately slam the door, the people in the quiet room will not be disturbed at all.

Therefore, in such an ashram, it is very conducive to practice.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary students to have such a good treatment, although they live in a single room, and the rooms are also soundproofed. But that kind of sound insulation is better than nothing at best. If there is a slight disturbance outside, and the rain blows the flowers, it is very likely to interrupt the hard-won state of cultivation, and the speed of progress will naturally be much slower.

Therefore, some students from slightly wealthier families do not live in the dormitories provided by the college at all, they either rent them outside, or have quiet rooms in their own homes. It's better to waste more time on the way to and from the academy than to make sure that you are not disturbed while you practice.
