Chapter Seventy-Five: Self-Improvement
After Zhao Xiaoting left, the four teams entered their respective painting scroll small realms in turn.
After Xu Zhenyun, Xiang Tianwen, and Mu Xueqing sat down on the grass, Ji Xiaohua began to explain:
"The cultivation of the second stage of the Eight Grades of Breaking Realm is a relatively easy level."
"In the first stage of the 'Qi Irrigation Spiritual Acupoint', your spiritual acupoint was successfully stimulated and became the pivotal intermediary for each 'vacuum power' and 'star power' to refine the physical body and soul......
"Star power?"
Xu Zhenyun keenly captured this word.
The "blue bars" of the ten series of cultivators can be called "mana" in general; But specifically, each has its own name.
For example, for martial arts practitioners, what is cultivated within the dantian is the "vacuum force".
Xiang Tianwen is also a martial arts cultivator; Then "star power" refers to Mu Xueqing.
A "celestial star stream" that diverges from a "natural stream"? It's no wonder that in the process of her previous cultivation, it seemed that she was meditating and looking at the stars......
Xu Zhenyun immediately recalled some details.
Ji Xiaohua continued to explain: "The 'spirit acupoints' that you each opened up are absorbing the power of the dantian all the time. When the 'vacuum force' and 'star power' in your dantian are reduced to less than seventy percent, this absorption will stop. ”
"This is not allowed to happen. Once the spiritual acupoint is opened, it should never stop absorbing its own strength and feeding back to nourish the body and soul. ”
Xu Zhenyun immediately looked inward and felt that the "vacuum power" in his dantian had really consumed some, but there was always more than ninety percent. Calculating, if you stop cultivating, it will take about seven to eight days, and you will be squeezed below the red line of seventy percent.
Ji Xiaohua is wearing a white robe today and a scribe's crown, and she doesn't feel it from the outside. But now I give lectures on the ground, and I really have a very "lecturer" temperament, which is very different from before.
Ji Xiaohua continued: "The second level is called 'Self-Cultivation', which means that you can be in the 'cultivation' anytime and anywhere, and no matter how you eat, drink, Lazar or sleep, you will not be able to break free from this state of 'cultivation'. ”
"Reaching this level is equivalent to freeing 'cultivation' from boring tasks. Lay the groundwork for the third and final step. ”
"Now you take out your respective exercises and try to cultivate."
Xu Zhenyun took out the "One Brief Book" of "Seven Refining Xuanzhen Gong" according to his words, and "flipped through" it to the end, and sure enough, he found that at the end of the original "book", there was new content.
Xiang Tianwen and Mu Xueqing are the same.
While the three of them were watching the exercises, Ji Xiaohua stretched out her hand and waved. There was a sudden "bang" sound on the carpet in front of him, and there were at least hundreds of bamboo slips, piled up into a small mountain.
Xu Zhenyun read the Taoist technique, and was slightly surprised in his heart, and tried the method described in the book, but he was even more stunned.
Xu Zhenyun raised his head and said, "Teacher......"
Ji Xiaohua smiled: "Think it's very simple? ”
Xu Zhenyun nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
It turned out that most of the extra "second stage" exercises were general introductions, and the specific cultivation methods were only a "small heart guard" with a little more than 300 words.
As long as the "vacuum force" in the dantian is properly compressed, rotated in a specific order and speed, and then slowly disconnected from the divine will, he will enter the state of "self-refining".
It's much easier than the first seven days of vacuum power accumulation and the step of hitting the spiritual acupoint!
Ji Xiaohua said: "Stand up and take two steps." ”
Xu Zhenyun got up as he said and took two steps forward. It was immediately discovered that the "self-refining of behavior" could not be maintained; His own cultivation state has been cut off.
Ji Xiaohua explained: "The cultivation of the second level is not very difficult, it is completely water grinding kung fu, the so-called practice makes perfect, and constantly familiarize and strengthen this state. But unlike the first level, this level can be half distracted. ”
"Half distracted?"
Xu Zhenyun realized.
Ji Xiaohua said: "Aren't you yourself the best example?" ”
"When you sit still, you can easily reach the state of 'self-refining', and at this time, your attention can completely be taken away from 'cultivation' and turn your head to do other things."
"So, this level can be a distraction."
"But if you get up and move around, this state of 'self-refining' cannot be maintained. So, it's only half distracted. ”
"In the preaching system of our Great Jin Dynasty, the 49-day method, the second level of 'self-refining' is a very important part. Its value lies not in itself, but in the fact that this characteristic can distract others, which is just the right foundation for new disciples. ”
Ji Xiaohua pointed her chin forward and pointed to the book in front of her.
"Cultivation itself is not difficult; Can you use this time as a cultural class? ”
This was something Xu Zhenyun didn't expect.
Xiang Tianwen looked at the mountains of jade slips in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but lean back.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaohua flicked her hand casually, and said with a faint smile: "Don't be nervous." It's not a difficult trick in front of you. It's just the common sense, rules, and systems of some monastic circles and the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, as well as customs and people's feelings; Even some of the strange novels are quite interesting. ”
"Pick what you like to watch."
And it's not just about reading the scriptures. If you have any insights or problems in your cultivation, you can come and ask me. You and I, teachers and students, have a frank exchange. ”
Although Xiang Tianwen and Mu Xueqing nodded, they all chose to choose jade slips from Ji Xiaohua first, looking to see if there were any more interesting novels.
Xu Zhenyun sat down again, causing Dantianzhong to return to the state of "self-refining", and immediately said, "Teacher, I have a question. ”
Ji Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and her voice was faintly brisk: "You say." ”
It was not the first time that he had served as the teacher of the disciples of the Nine Grades. According to experience, in the level of "self-cultivation of behavior", disciples often "read" on their own while practicing, and very few communicate with teachers.
After all, there is a large gap between the cultivation of the two sides, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a kind of "generation gap", and most people choose to complete the accumulation silently, rather than being willing to show timidity in front of others.
So he brought enough "Yijian Shu" to feed the three of them.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhenyun did not choose Yu Jian first, but chose to communicate with him.
The first-ranked genius disciple is still "specially recommended" by his Ji Xiaohua to enter the Dao, and it is really extraordinary!
Xu Zhenyun pumped his backhand, and pulled out the iron rod almost horizontally on his shoulder, and said, "This is what my father-in-law built for me." ”
After sitting down, Xu Zhenyun's sense was clear - the dantian did not move, but only moved his arms, which did not hinder the state of "self-refining".
Ji Xiaohua glanced at the iron rod, and her gaze froze: "It is really commendable that everything can be exercised to such a pure quality......
"You're going to use it as your fetters?"
Xu Zhenyun nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Successfully opening the topic, Xu Zhenyun took the opportunity to say: "My father-in-law is from a blacksmith family, so I also learned some truths about the 'Law of Things' and 'Soldiers of Bonds'. But there is one point in it that is very difficult to understand. ”
Ji Xiaohua said: "You say." ”
Xu Zhenyun said: "The process of the achievement of this 'law of things' is to cultivate it with true power since childhood? Are there any special tricks in the middle that are not passed on? ”
Ji Xiaohua was stunned and said, "What special trick do you want?" Why do you have such thoughts? ”
Xu Zhenyun quietly observed Ji Xiaohua's expression, and said slowly: "Between immortals and mortals, the boundaries are clear. At the beginning of cultivation, this system of material laws was all mortal. With its own cultivation, it can really leap into the dragon gate and become an existence that cannot be forged with top-notch spiritual materials? ”
"If this method can be accomplished, wouldn't it be equivalent to a special kind of 'alchemy', which breaks the boundary between the ordinary and the extraordinary through its own cultivation?"
Ji Xiaohua smiled and said, "You have such an amazing talent in Shigong cultivation, why can't you see through such a simple truth?" ”
"Of all things in heaven and earth, man is the most precious. One person, one thing, one thing. Together, the feelings are harmonious. Long-term cultivation is not only the nourishment of mana, but also the reflection and understanding of human nature and soul for a long time. ”
"It is the sustenance of 'meaning' that makes it reborn."
"As for using this method to refine everything extraordinary, that is a fool's dream. Once we have a utilitarian mind, the 'meaning' is no longer pure, and the law of things cannot be achieved. ”
There is no special secret, it is really just the long-term cultivation of Zhenli, and the sustenance of a mysterious and mysterious "meaning......
Xu Zhenyun's brows furrowed imperceptibly, but he said, "Disciple understands." ”
Ji Xiaohua was very satisfied, took a book at random, evolved into a book, and looked at the first line of text It seemed to be "Huangmao Daxian Journey to the East", and read it with relish.
Of course Xu Zhenyun was not satisfied with Ji Xiaohua's answer.
Although Ji Xiaohua did not make such a fuss as last time, her attitude undoubtedly showed that mortal things can achieve or even surpass the extraordinary through the cultivation of the law of things, and it is not a strange "consensus" in this world.
After experiencing the amazing discovery on Zhao Zhenting just now, Xu Zhenyun became more and more convinced-
It's not that you're short-sighted or fixed-minded. This world of Xinyuan Continent really has its own bizarre things that it can't understand; Or even the incredible horror!
And the only thing I can rely on and gradually deepen my understanding of this world is the "Dao Heart Chessboard".
Xu Zhenyun glanced at Mu Xueqing.
Raiders big white sheep, there is no time to wait!
"Find a reason to finish a fist bump with her."
"Like asking the sky, do you want to make a 'gambling contract'......"
Xu Zhenyun was holding a jade slip in his hand, seemingly concentrating on hard reading; But in fact, it is out of the world.
Half an hour has passed, and seventeen or eighteen plans have been designed in my mind, none of which are reliable.
It's so hard to find a suitable excuse to bump fists with a girl......
"No! Isn't it ridiculous that the hardware conditions are all in place, and it is too ridiculous to get stuck on the so-called 'right reasons'...... Don't be a giant of thought, a dwarf of action! ”
"Isn't it just a fist bump? What do you want to do with all the uselessness? ”
This thought flashed, and Xu Zhenyun only felt that his thoughts were through, and his spirit was lifted; got up abruptly and walked towards Mu Xueqing!
