On this day, after breakfast in Chunxiangtang, Tang Ping chatted with Qian Chao for a few words, and then walked with Yan Xuan in the direction of his residence.

Yan Xuan thought that the two of them were going back to their residence to continue their practice, but when they arrived at a fork in the road up the mountain, Tang Ping took her hand and walked up the mountain.

"Ah Ping, aren't we going back? What to do in the mountains? Yan Xuan asked puzzled.

"Sister Yan, it's the same everywhere you practice, the room we live in is too cramped and cramped, come, I'll take you to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds and flowers, it's the same practice, you don't have to be stuffy in the room." Tang Ping replied.

Yan Xuan didn't say anything more after hearing this, and followed Tang Ping all the way up the mountain. Tang Ping didn't choose a high mountain, she also released Xiaobai on the way, and the little white fox ran around the two, very happy, and before she knew it, she reached the top of the mountain.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Tang Ping was nothing, Yan Xuan had been living in the deep mansion compound of the Yan family before, and it was the first time he had climbed the mountain when he was so big, and after he arrived at the top of the mountain, he was already powdered and panting.

Tang Ping saw that Yan Xuan was tired, so he took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over, Yan Xuan was not polite to her at this time, and asked if he understood what he was drinking, so he pulled out the stopper and drank two sips to quench his thirst.

"It's good there," Tang Ping chose a clean and smooth big bluestone, stood on it and looked at it with satisfaction, kicked Xiaobai with his toes and jumped up with his toes to drive it away, took out two futons and put them on top of it, and then said to Yan Xuan, "That's it, Sister Yan." ”

Yan Xuan went over, sat down on the futon, just drank something and rested for a while, she felt much better, she said to Tang Ping: "Ah Ping, how long will it take to practice, so that I won't be so tired that I can't breathe?" ”

This question amused Tang Ping, and she replied, "Soon, Sister Yan, really soon." Then he turned his face to Xiao Bai who was squatting beside him and said, "Sister Yan and I are going to work hard, you have to be obedient, don't run around, don't make trouble for us, if you do it, you'll let you play here, if you can't do it, you can only put you in the bag again, understand?" ”

When Xiaobai heard this, where was he willing to go back to the bag, he hurriedly jumped to the side and nodded to Tang Ping.

After adjusting his breath evenly, Yan Xuan and Tang Ping began to practice the top of this small hill.

I have to say that the place Tang Ping chose is really good, although the mountain is not high, but the vision is broad. Although the surrounding mountains are dense, they do not affect the blowing of the mountains, and the soft mountain breeze carries the sweet fragrance of wild flowers from nowhere through the hair and noses of the two.

Yan Xuan soon entered the strange realm of holding Yuan Shouyi, she seemed to float in the forest as if nothing, and seemed to become a whole with the whole mountain forest, for a moment she even felt that she could count how many leaves rustled after a gust of wind.

A few butterflies were circling around a mountain flower tree, and when she looked closely, she found that the transparent wings of the insects were waving so slowly, the more she stared, the more they seemed to freeze there.

An ant in the grass was dragging a grass seed almost the size of it back to its burrow, and every time its six short legs like thin black lines kicked the ground, Yan Xuan could hear a series of drum-like thumping sounds whenever he wanted to.

As time passed, the sun climbed higher and higher in the east, and the warm sunlight shining through the branches and leaves on the shoulders and cheeks was so comfortable, like bathing in warm water.

A weak leaf couldn't withstand the plucking of the mountain wind, and it snapped away with the wind, and a grass seed on the ground slept long enough and was trying to poke out a little curious shoot from the soil, all of which made Yan Xuan fascinated.

Not far away, a bird that wanted to catch insects and eat grabbed the bark of a tall tree and turned a few turns, and the hard and slender beak pecked at the trunk.

was about to lean over to look at the bird, and suddenly heard "Sister Yan, Sister Yan" someone had to call her from afar, but when she opened her eyes, it was Tang Ping who was holding Xiaobai and smiling at her, Yan Xuan listened carefully and heard the sound of the cloud card in the distance in the Spring Ringing Hall, it turned out that the cloud card sound just now was not made by the bird, but I didn't expect that a morning passed unknowingly, and it was time for lunch.

After lunch, the two girls went back to their residence to rest for a while, and when it was time to work hard, Tang Ping pulled Yan Xuan out again, and Yan Xuan let her go.

The two of them found a pond this time, and a clear spring in the mountain was poured into this pond, and the water in the pond was clean and clear, and flowed out quietly from the other side, forming a quiet stream. So they sat down cross-legged on the edge of the pond.

Tang Ping also took a closer look at the water and found that there seemed to be fish swimming among the aquatic plants under the pond, so he said that he would find a fishing rod to play here in a few days. Yan Xuan also felt that the scenery here was very good, but they didn't come here to see the scenery, so they pushed Tang Ping's arm, and the two began to work the edge of the pond.

This afternoon, Yan Xuan felt as if he was a leaf falling into this pond, floating quietly on the water, surrounded by the white clouds and blue sky reflected in the sky, indescribably leisurely.

She was casually overturned by a fish that ran to the surface of the water to breathe, causing a circle of ripples on the surface of the water, and then her mind followed the fish into the water, walking through the wood-like aquatic plants or chasing and playing with other fish.

It wasn't until the sunset that the two girls were reluctant to leave the pond.

"Ah Ping," Yan Xuan asked as he walked, "when will we start practicing according to the mental method of the Jade Sea Sutra?" ”

"Sister Yan, in fact, as long as you can enter the Baoyuan Shouyi smoothly when you meditate, you can do it, but my sixth grandfather once told me that this meditation kung fu is the most basic, and now we are cultivating the "Jade Sea Sutra" is the most basic mental method, and in the future, we will be able to enter the inner door to practice various other high-level mental methods, this meditation is still the foundation, although the spiritual roots of the two of us are not bad, but I don't think we have to be greedy, now we might as well lay the foundation firmer, not worse than those few days."

Yan Xuan listened to it and thought deeply, nodded and said, "Well, listen to you, Ah Ping." ”

Unlike the calmness of these two daughters, Qian Chao ran into trouble.

The source of this trouble, of course, is his spiritual root.

Qian Chao expected that his spiritual root would probably drag down his cultivation, but in his heart, he didn't care very much. Just like when he practiced calligraphy when he was a child, he watched his father's writing of dragons and phoenixes dancing, and the momentum was extraordinary, and even the words written by his mother were also very beautiful and spiritual. Only when he lifted the pen and landed on the paper, it was not horizontal or vertical, and between the lines of the pen was like a drunken man pushing a cart and a lame donkey pulling a grinding.

For this reason, he was very angry with himself at the beginning, but then he calmed down and eliminated his playful thoughts, and copied them in a serious way, and over time, his words could make his father bow slightly, which made him feel very satisfied.

However, it took him a few years to practice calligraphy, and this cultivation is only one year in this Youming Valley, and if he can't enter the inner door after a year, it is really not interesting to go to the outer door. First, Qian Chao felt that it would be very embarrassing if he entered the outer door, but he didn't do anything behind; Second, if you can't succeed in refining your body in this Youming Valley, who can guarantee that you can succeed in the outer gate?

If not, will you return to Qian's house?

Therefore, after Qian Chao was able to meditate skillfully and entered Baoyuan Shouyi, he began to practice the "Jade Sea Sutra".

After reading the "Jade Sea Sutra" again, putting down the book, and reciting it silently in his heart, thinking about the essence of the short few hundred words in his heart, recalling the chapters that the senior brother Guan Shanqi had focused on explaining for himself, as well as the distribution of the human body's qi and veins, after penetrating before and after, Qian Chao thought that his understanding of the "Jade Sea Sutra" had been fully comprehended, and he began to officially start with a little nervousness.

However, it backfired, I thought I could experience what it was like to practice, but if I threw a stone into a well, I thought I would hear the sound of splashing water after the stone entered the water, but unexpectedly, the well was like a bottomless abyss, and the stone thrown into it seemed to fall all the time but never to the end.

His dantian is quiet, without abnormality, just like an abandoned dry well, no matter how Qian Chao urges according to the heart of the "Jade Sea Sutra", but it has been silently changing, until the sound of the cloud card sounded, and when the time for lunch came, Qian Chao opened his eyes stupidly and went to the Spring Ringing Hall sullenly.

After returning to his residence and resting for a while, the tide of money began again. I don't know how long it took to finally have a feeling, from the dantian like a thin ant crawling out, cowering and slowly crawling along the veins of Qian Chao, if it weren't for Qian Chao's constant attention and urging, maybe he would have to turn his head and climb back, so he barely climbed for a week, Qian Chao opened his eyes again but was tired.

The room was dark, and when I opened the door, I found that it was already night, and I had already missed the time for dinner, and because I was tired, I simply climbed into bed and fell asleep.

On the second day, after breakfast, Qian Chao sat again in his room, this time the same as yesterday, the dantian is still as silent as a dry well, near noon Qian Chao and felt that it seems that a weak black ant-like breath finally came out of the dantian slowly, at this time the lunch cloud card sounded, simply Qian Chao did not go to lunch, concentrated on urging the weak breath to wander between their own qi veins, when the last Sunday was finished, the sun shadow had already slanted westward, it is estimated that it will not be dinner time.

The two-day practice made Qian Chao's heart feel sad.

When he preached the scriptures that day, the senior brother Guan Shanqi once said that this practice will have the feeling of spiritual wind entering the body and like a spring breeze, and after a long time, there will be a boat in the lake, although there is no tree or oar, but it can also walk slowly, and after running for a week, people can be deaf and clear, and the body is light and healthy.

Senior Brother Guan said it very well, but Qian Chao felt that when he was lucky, the breath in his body was like a dying person, and he was even more tired and exhausted after running Zhou Tian.

I didn't expect the Linggen Poor to be so dragged down!

At dinner, Qian Chao hurriedly wanted to go back to his residence, but he didn't want to be called by Tang Ping from behind, the girl asked Qian Chao about his cultivation with concern, Qian Chao didn't say that his cultivation was difficult, only that he didn't make much progress.

Tang Ping told Qian Chao that this cultivation should be a water mill, and he must not have the mind to achieve it overnight, and that he might as well find a quiet place in the nearby mountains and forests for meditation and practice on weekdays, which is better than being stuffed in a room.

After a few days like this, Qian Chao also followed Tang Ping's words and found a place in the valley with beautiful mountains and rivers to practice alone, but the result still disappointed him like the previous two days.

Maybe it was because he was anxious in his heart, and he was unstable in his cultivation, and in the next few days, he sat dry for a day in a row, and there was not even a trace of weak breath in the dantian, which made Qian Chao even more anxious.

As a last resort, on the fifth day, Qian Chao went to Xiaozhuxuan in Tingtao Pavilion to find Senior Brother Guan Shanqi for guidance.

This Xiao Zhuxuan was located on the highest floor of Tingtao Pavilion, but when he got there, he found that there were a lot of people waiting outside, and many of them were female disciples who came together, and their faces were both nervous and expectant.

Qian Chao waited patiently for nearly an hour before being called in, and Senior Brother Guan sat behind a case, his long hair was useless for a hairpin, so casually draped in a relaxed manner.

After the salute, Qian Chao asked this senior brother about the difficult things in his cultivation.

After listening to this, Senior Brother Guan asked Qian Chao a few questions from the "Jade Sea Sutra", and Qian Chao answered them one by one.

After listening to this, Senior Brother Guan couldn't help frowning slightly, because Qian Chao's answers were basically correct, but why didn't the cultivation go well?

So Senior Brother Guan asked Qian Chao what his spiritual root was, and then said some innocuous words, telling Qian Chao that his understanding of the "Jade Sea Sutra" was not deviated, which was a good thing, so that Qian Chao should not be anxious, and the matter of cultivation should come slowly, not be impatient, let him go back without distractions, perseverance, and will definitely gain something and send him out.

Qian Chao understood that Senior Brother Guan must have guessed that his spiritual root was a mess, so he would be like this, and he had no way to solve it, but to say something good and send himself away.

Thinking of this, the money tide is even more annoying.

Unlike Qian Chao's boredom, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan, the two girls, went smoothly, and the two finally began to practice the "Jade Sea Sutra".

Because of their good qualifications, the two of them can smoothly urge the breath of the dantian to wander through the various qi veins in the body, and after completing a week, Yan Xuan finally realized what the feeling of fluttering immortals is, although he is still sitting cross-legged, but he feels that if he gently touches the ground with his fingers, the whole person will float. At this time, when I look around, I only feel that the light is colorful; As far as the eye can see, the smallest details can be distinguished, and the joy in the heart cannot be expressed.

The same is true for Tang Ping, she didn't work hard before, but now there is a Yan Xuan supporting each other, but she is no longer lazy, and she is not slow to improve.

Similarly, Li Jian also realized the beauty of this practice, and after meditating for a few days, he felt that he could enter the realm of holding Yuan Shouyi at will, but his realm should be suitable for holding Yuan Shouyi. Because there were still one or two places in the "Jade Sea Scripture" that he didn't understand very well, he also went to Naxiao Zhuxuan to ask Senior Brother Naguan, but he went late, and only met Qian Chao at the door of Tingtao Pavilion.

Senior Brother Guan asked about his spiritual root as usual, and then patiently explained his doubts until Li Jian understood the entire "Jade Sea Scripture" before thanking him and leaving.

Then Li Jian did not go back to his residence, but walked and found a secluded place at random, meditated on the ground, and began to practice according to the mental method of the "Jade Sea Sutra".

This Li Jian's qualifications are only upper-middle, and his progress is much slower than that of Tang Pingyanxuan's second daughter, Rao is so, if Qian Chao can know about Li Jian's first revision of the "Jade Sea Sutra", it is estimated that he will die of envy.

The dantian breath was driven by Li Jian's mind along the qi veins around his body, and when a week was over, Li Jian opened his eyes again and felt that this feeling seemed to be very familiar, and when the mountain wind blew, whether it was the gentle shaking of the branches or the green leaves in his eyes, it was no longer a piece of scattered sand, but there was a first and a last, and it was scattered, he could clearly know which two branches would touch together, and he could also know which leaf was finally not affected by the wind and swayed. This feeling was really like when he was fighting at the head of Luo Jingcheng that day, he could feel every sword that slashed at him, the spear that stabbed him, and when every feather arrow shot at him would be added, but at that time, he only thought that it was his instinct between life and death, but he didn't expect that feeling to come back after a week of "Jade Sea Sutra", and it became clearer and clearer.

Looks like I'm destined to come here to practice! Li Jian sighed in her heart.

Only Lu Pingchuan, who has the best qualifications, is the most carefree one at this time, he doesn't take that cultivation as a thing at all, and he doesn't practice at all, he has been drilling into the mountains for several days, identifying the traces of wild beasts, drinking two sips on the edge of the mountain spring when he is thirsty, and looking for a few wild fruits when he is hungry. He has roasted wild eggs and scooped wild beehives. Today, I don't know where I caught a few pheasants, so I plucked the pheasants and cleaned them up, put them on sharpened sticks and put them on a pile of bonfires to roast, and the roasted fat dripped into the fire from time to time, and the smell of roasted meat wafted in the mountains and forests with green smoke.

At this time, Qian Chao pushed open the door in annoyance, and after entering the room, he threw himself on the bed, and it was another day of no progress.

At dinner just now, Tang Ping seemed to have something to ask Qian Chao, and stopped when she saw Qian Chao's depressed face.

In fact, Qian Chao himself also wanted to ask Tang Ping how to practice this "Jade Sea Sutra", but it was obviously his poor qualifications that led to the dilemma of today's practice, even if he asked her, what was the use?

Will she have a solution to this problem of poor qualifications?

It's even more impossible, even if she is a child of a family, she is just a little disciple of body refining like herself, so what can she do about what Senior Brother Guan can do about her little girl?

Besides, even if she had the means, why did she help herself so much? With your inferior spiritual root, you probably want to enter that outer gate, how can you, a future outer disciple, be qualified to let the granddaughter of a great monk help you? Not long after they met, it can be said that they met in Pingshui, and the only thing they have in common is that they are just eating in Chunxiangtang.

Thinking of this, the fear in Qian Chao's heart when he first saw the children of the family came back, and it was even stronger, he knew that this was probably inferiority.

It's ridiculous that he taught Tang Ping how to make friends on the bronze carriage, and now it seems that Tang Ping's way of making friends is the right reason, when you are too different from others, even if others are willing to make friends, how can you climb high?

Isn't it a joke?

He suddenly sounded that there was still his burden in the cabinet, and there were two books in it, one of which was red-skinned, which was the cultivation experience of his ancestor Qian Shoulin, and the ancestor said when he was about to leave that if he was struggling to practice, he could learn from one or two, otherwise don't look at it, after all, everyone's practice is different, isn't it difficult enough to suffer now?

All of a sudden, Qian Chao jumped out of bed and opened the cabinet.
