Chapter 14: Meditation
As the most well-known institution in the country, the Royal Academy of Pangya still has a rich curriculum, such as painting, calligraphy and so on. Among them, there is a history of the Pangya Kingdom, but all students are required to learn.
Classes began the day after the opening ceremony. The first section is history. Long Tianxiang didn't have any likes or dislikes for this kind of east, west, north and south, but he listened to some things related to magic very seriously.
In the afternoon, Long Tianxiang's long-awaited lesson related to magic finally appeared; In the classroom are futons one by one. When it was time for class, Long Tianxiang looked at the teacher, but it was Feng Xian'er. When she came to class, she dressed even sexier, which caused the boys below to swallow wildly.
Just seeing her lips lightly opened, her teeth slightly exposed, and a sweet and pleasant voice came to the ears of everyone present, "Today, I will teach you the basics of magic. The so-called magic is one's own spiritual power to control the elements between heaven and earth for one's own use. In order to be able to do this, a cultivator must do two things: first, your spiritual power must be able to be released, and second, your spiritual power must be strong enough.
Let's start with the first point. Our spiritual power can't be touched or seen, so how can we let it out? Yes, those of you who may have a foundation already know that it is the mantra that helps us to get to this point. By chanting mantras, we can connect with the elements of heaven and earth and control them. But that's what we're going to learn later, because before that, we first need to have a strong enough mental strength, which is the second point.
Similar to the meditation of a martial artist, the method of a magician to improve his mental power is called meditation. Next, I will tell you the essentials of meditation, which is the focus of today's lesson. There are many discussions in the wizarding world about the principle that meditation can improve mental power, which needs to be understood after everyone improves their level in the future, or even discover it for themselves.
The reason why we can live in this world is because the elements of this heaven and earth are orderly. And the unconscious elements work in an orderly manner, we think, because they are infused with the will of God. God's will is, of course, stronger than man's, but there is not much essential difference between the two. Magic was born from this idea. At the same time, it also shows that people's mental power is born to control the elements.
But in fact, almost no one can feel the presence of the elements, let alone control them, without training. This is because people's mental power in the usual state is mixed and not focused enough. Your five senses will perceive different things, and your mind will constantly think, and these activities will make your mental power have no time to feel the elements.
So meditation is a way for you to eliminate distractions and concentrate on feeling the magical elements. In the process, your contact with the elements will increase your mental power, allowing you to control more of the elements, or control them more finely.
Canonical meditation requires sitting cross-legged. The specific requirements are in the textbook, so I won't talk about them here. I'm going to focus on a few caveats. First of all, the textbook allows you to experience the magical elements that you are gifted with in this sitting position, but please note that the experience is to have the correct meditation posture first, and if you feel the elements before you have mastered the correct meditation posture, it does not mean that you are a genius, but that you fell asleep and dreamed again after meditation. (laughs)
Secondly, most of you here have a very good foundation, and you may know more or less what I just said, but there may be irregularities in the methods you have mastered, so please revise your cultivation methods again according to the textbook and what I have said.
The last thing to add. The posture of meditation is not fixed, as long as you can enter a state of concentration and feel the magical element, any posture is okay. So if you can achieve this, you don't have to work hard in a cross-legged position. Well, let's start meditating according to the essentials, and I'll point out your problems one-on-one. ”
So the students began to do as requested, and Feng Xian'er pressed a certain place on the wall, and suddenly, a cyan light curtain was attached to all parts of the classroom. This is a simple wind circle, also known as an enchantment: a soundproof enchantment. In an instant, everyone seemed to be in another world, and all the noise outside disappeared.
Feng Xian'er went down and walked around, correcting the wrong posture when she saw it, and also making more detailed descriptions of those things that were difficult to speak. She spent a lot of time on Long Tianxiang, but no matter what, Long Tianxiang just couldn't feel the so-called elements between heaven and earth, and Feng Xian'er could only give up. Long Tianxiang also knew that this was only affected by his extremely weak talent, but he was not discouraged: if the talent is not enough, practice more.
It's night, and the moonlight is like water. Long Tianxiang didn't sleep. He could experience the magic of magic when he saw it, but he couldn't get over this hurdle, and he was still a little anxious in his heart. He allowed himself to meditate, but not only did he make no progress, but he became more anxious. When I thought of the words of "exerting spiritual power to feel the elements, I suddenly thought, if the elements are very strong, can I feel them even if my talent is very poor?"
Long Tianxiang has always had infinite motivation for magic cultivation. With this thought, Long Tianxiang got up and walked out of the dormitory. The first thing that came to his mind was water. There is a lake in the academy, which is where the water elemental gathers. When he reached the lake, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, hoping to feel the call of the water element. But after a long time, all he could feel was the darkness in front of him.
Below that is the fire, the fire elemental seems to be more active, and perhaps easier to feel. Long Tianxiang found a small forest, collected some dead branches, and set them on fire with flint with great effort. He quickly began to meditate, but he still found nothing but the heat.
Long Tianxiang had no choice but to return to the dormitory. Sitting on the bed, he struggled to think of any possible way. All the things that had to do with magic in my memories were mobilized. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered what Sister Tina had said, "There are six elements, and they make up everything in heaven and earth", so if his meditation wants to perceive the six elements, shouldn't he feel the whole heaven and earth?
There are elements of wind, fire, and water in the air, and the earth is naturally the element of earth. It's good, there's moonlight tonight, if it's so dark...... Thinking of this, Long Tianxiang blew out the candles, then sat cross-legged on the moonlit ground and began to meditate. This time, he kept fantasizing about his surroundings in his head: moonlight above his head, air around him, land below, and shadows in the corners......
Suddenly, the darkness in front of Long Tianxiang's eyes changed. There was a white glow above the head, surrounded by blue light surrounding the red and blue light spots, and in some places there were even places obscured by black veil.
Long Tianxiang was overjoyed, but he suddenly got out of the state of concentration. The strange sight vanished. But Long Tianxiang, who had already seen that his method was effective, was not in a hurry at all, and at the same time, he also vaguely understood that he seemed to be different from others, and the cultivation path of the entire magic talent had to be walked by himself!
