Chapter 4 Diary
At night, Tang Muzhi took out the seagull watch, and when the time was about the same, he went to bed and meditated cross-legged.
There are also roommates who don't sleep, of course they will see it, but there are many people who learn martial arts in this era, and meditation is also a legitimate behavior, which is not a strange thing. In the 21st century, you might be suspected of being a banana element, and you might be dragged to talk by the principal.
In the dead of night, apart from the sound of snoring and the rubbing of clothes in the bedroom, the quartz watch can only be regarded as a white noise. Tang Muzhi closed his eyes and didn't move, his breathing was steady, and there didn't seem to be any distractions in his heart, in fact, he could hear the sounds, but he wouldn't think about the source of those sounds, his soul seemed to turn from the outside to the inside, monitoring his body: the sound of the heart beating, the sound of stomach acid digesting food, the sound of intestinal peristalsis, the length, width and height of the ventricles, and the frequency of the vibration of the five organs,...... It's as if everything inside can be seen and heard.
For ordinary people, meditation cannot reach this level. The more desperately a person pursues something, the harder it is to get the desired result.
For example, if you think about it all the time, there are no distracting thoughts in your heart, and distracting thoughts come like demons in your heart.
When people have nothing to do, people's thinking is extremely divergent: for example, when you think of seagull watches, you think of Shanghai; When you think of Shanghai, you think of the Pearl Tower; Then I thought of bungee jumping; Thinking of Mount Everest...... At the end of the day, when you try to sort out your thoughts, you'll find it interesting.
It's just that Tang Muzhi seems to have lost this ability, in the infant and even in the fetal period.
Two hours passed, Tang Muzhi opened his eyes, his legs were a little sore, he hadn't crossed his legs before, and today he just came to sit on his wishful - that is, put his left leg on his right leg. He used to watch those masters on TV, but they were all regular double plates, and he couldn't do that posture without practicing for a few years.
Tang Muzhi's face was a little solemn, not that he couldn't calm down, but he found that when he sat quietly, it seemed to be no different from when he was usually alone!
Ask Guang Shao tomorrow. Tang Muzhi lay flat. He wasn't sleepy, he didn't feel tired, but now he had nothing to do, and it was time to rest, so he had to sleep.
The next day, Tang Muzhi went to the classroom of the first class of high school, the seats were not divided, there were not many people in the morning, everyone sat at random, the two people who slept with him sat in the middle of the classroom, and he went straight to the last row by the window, and there was no one in the last three rows, so he sat alone.
After a while, Guang Shao arrived in the classroom, and when he saw Tang Muzhi, he walked next to him and sat down and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten breakfast?" β
Tang Muzhi nodded.
"Yesterday's uh-something seems to have gone wrong with the cultivation."
Guang Shao said: "What? Leg cramps? β
Tang Muzhi explained the situation to him.
Guang Shao said solemnly: "It's normal to not feel anything. As for this meditation and being in a daze, it is completely different. Now, come to my bedroom after lunch, and I'll lend you my diary when I first started practicing qi!" Let's start with the lesson. β
At exactly seven o'clock, the class bell rang, and the head teacher Zhang Tao came into the classroom, "Come, hurry, let's adjust the position." The things that have been placed on the table do not need to be moved, the students sitting in the front row stand on the podium, and the students in the back stand against the wall...... I'll choose a place by myself if I call a name, the first one: Tang Muzhi! β
I didn't expect this set to become popular in this era. A freshman in high school changed seats and did so many moths, damn it!
Tang Muzhi returned to his original seatβthe last row. Zhang Tao glared at him quietly and didn't speak.
Soon, more than 60 students had chosen their seats. Unexpectedly, Guang Shao, this guy, ran to the third row and sat next to the second girl named Zhao Shuyi in the class.
There was one less table, so Xu Jingrong, who was the last in the class, stood awkwardly in the eyes of a group of people, so ashamed that his ears were red.
Zhang Tao lifted the chair on the podium, "You put the schoolbag first-Tang Muzhi, and go to other classes to find a vacancy after class." Classes first! β
Tang Muzhi didn't have a schoolbag at all, and the books were all brought after reading the class schedule and put them on the table.
Xu Jingrong went to the front row and brought a green handbag with a panda or something embroidered on it.
Tang Muzhi knew that the girl was thin-skinned, so he took the initiative to reach out and take the bag.
Xu Jingrong's face was still red, and he whispered: "Thank you." β
After class, Tang Muzhi said to Xu Jingrong: "Let's change positions, I don't like to sit in the front row." β
Xu Jingrong thought to himself, is the penultimate row also considered the front row? As a result, Tang Muzhi had already moved the table over.
Then Tang Muzhi sat firmly in the last row, and there was no need to change seats. The table in his original position was blocked by radiators, and it was already a whole row shorter, after moving the table, Tang Muzhi and Xu Jingrong's table were close, and a few male classmates stared at the two of them non-stop, because Xu Jingrong looked like a coquettish good girl, but she was actually quite good at dressing up.
After eating at noon, Tang Muzhi went to 311 to read Guang Shao's notes. He's the only one in their bedroom! It looks much more spacious. Tang Muzhi was a little envious, "Why do you live alone?" β
Guang Shao said helplessly: "I have to meditate at noon and night, and it will not affect well when I am seen. If you want to live, tell Zhang Tao to change the bedroom in a few days, I'll make a bed for you, I'm bored in this bedroom alone. β
"Okay." Tang Muzhi was naturally willing.
Then Guang Shao handed him a black notebook, "Look at the pages I folded." β
Tang Muzhi opened the notebook, and Guang Shao's handwriting was crooked, folded only three pages, and the content was from August 15, 1990 to September 25, 1990.
8.15, the first time I meditated yesterday, I didn't settle down, and my legs were numb.
8.16, unsettled, back pain, numb legs, sleepy all day.
8.17, not settled, legs are not numb, still sleepy.
8.18, I don't remember the meditation process, but I seem to feel something. Today's mother's birthday, I met the person I didn't want to see, and I did something I didn't want to do, mlgb.
8.19, sleepy to death, meditate, bought the Taoist Three Classics in the morning, and my father said that if I was confused all day long, I would be killed, damn! My mind is full of these things, cultivating the Tao, cultivating a fart!
8.20, meditate, insensitive. There is an article in "Zhuangzi": "Yan Hui said: 'I have no way to advance, dare to ask his way.'" Zhong Ni said: 'Zhai, if I have a heart to do it, it is easy to be evil? Those who are easy are not suitable for Gaotian. Yan Hui said: "I go back to my home and are poor, but those who don't drink alcohol or eat meat will be fine for a few months." In this way, can it be fasting? He said, "It is a sacrificial fast, not a heart fast." He replied, "Dare to ask your heart." Zhong Ni said: "If you have a will, you will listen to your heart without listening to it, and you will listen to it with your heart without listening to it!" Hearing stops at the ear, and the heart stops at the symbol. Those who are angry are also those who are empty and treat things. Only the Tao gathers the void. The void is also fasting. I sat silently for two days, and I don't know when I fell asleep. I think it was when I meditated, my mind was focused, I couldn't see or hear, and I didn't have any desires the next day.
8.21, meditating, I sensed that I was born with a Qi, in my stomach, I can now read the secret method that Kampot gave me, but I can't understand it, and I want to go to the library again. In the afternoon, I had some feelings, sat quietly for a while and took a look at the watch, it was six o'clock, I sat for three hours, and I was a little tired. I tried to pout the spoon with my mind, but I broke the chopsticks.
8.22, meditate, it took five days to finally get started, the old monk did not lie, I will call Mr. Kampot in the future, save people's lives, otherwise I really don't know what to do in this life, but unfortunately I have to explore by myself later, and now I am thinking about apprenticeship, but I can't find anyone. I wanted to go to Sakya Monastery to find someone, and my dad said he was going to break my leg.
