Chapter 7: The Role of Civility
This area is quite remote, the house seems lonely, there are some houses around, but the dark appearance, no lights, no human voice, most of them are deserted dwellings. The clearing is covered with trees and looks lush. I don't think it's like anything during the day, and I think it's a quiet place. When Twilight looked at it like this, it became eerie.
Thinking of the madman's grotesque behavior just now, Uncle Wang shuddered inexplicably.
Chen Youniao stepped forward to take a look, stretched out his hand to pull out the incense, and threw it to the side.
Uncle Wang opened the door, and when the young master came in, he quickly closed the door, for fear that something would follow behind.
Soon, the house was lit with oil lamps. The lights lit up, banishing darkness and panic.
There was firewood stored in the kitchen, so Uncle Wang went to make a fire to boil water and prepare hot water for Chen Youniao to bathe.
Chen Youniao entered the main house and sat under the oil lamp in a daze, still thinking about the future direction.
After a while, Uncle Wang fetched water.
After a simple bath, Chen Youniao's whole person was refreshed.
Uncle Wang came in again to clean up, and said respectfully: "Young master, you have been running all the way, you should rest early." ”
Chen Youniao nodded: "You too." ”
Uncle Wang went out, put things away, and went back to the right room.
Chen Youniao took the lamp back to the room, the wooden bed and other things, originally there, although no one lived in it for a long time, but it was well preserved, and after cleaning up, he could sleep. As for pillows and quilts, they are their own luggage.
In terms of diet and daily life, Uncle Wang has done a very careful and excellent job.
Chen Youniao didn't feel sleepy, thinking that because of studying "Wenxin Carving Dragon", he hadn't practiced Daomen exercises for several days, so he blew out the lights first, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to do his homework.
In the dark, swallow and absorb, and the breath is melodious.
This is the kung fu of "Laoshan Tongzhen Sutra", although this door recipe is ordinary, but it is used to lay the foundation, but it is a very pure Taoist exercise. When I was in the dojo, there were Taoist masters to teach and give advice.
After going to the mountain for ten years, in addition to daily chores, chopping wood and carrying water, Chen Youniao really took a lot of classes, but he didn't have talent and understanding at that time, so he learned and learned, and his cultivation was slow. has been pausing in the introductory stage of "refining", hovering on the threshold, and not allowed to enter.
In fact, this is not surprising, it is the norm of Taoism.
Year after year, the four major avenues in the world, as well as other large and small Taoist temples, I don't know how many famous Taoist children, but those who can refine and refine qi are one in a hundred. As long as you can successfully transform qi, you can become a real Taoist priest, and you can register in the yamen and receive your identity.
With the degree in hand, Huo Ran's identity is different.
So, it's not an easy step to really get started.
Chen Youniao's plan is to gain a future through the imperial examination, but it does not mean that he will give up the Taoism. On the awning boat, he successfully passed through the curtain door with the performance of "Piercing the Wall", which rekindled his confidence. Originally, I thought that I would use the brick wall to verify it when I came back, but I just entered the city today and was busy cleaning up the yard, so I haven't tried it yet.
There is no hurry, practice the Dao first, and it should be the final preparation. After all, it is no longer a soft cloth to be worn, but a real brick wall, which cannot be missed. If you miss and hit your head against the wall again, the tragedy will repeat itself.
Practicing the "Laoshan Tongzhen Sutra" can only stop at the realm of "refining and refining qi", and if you want to go further, you need a more advanced secret practice. However, for Chen Youniao, I will talk about it later, take the first step first, and only then can we talk about other things.
The words of the mantra have long been familiar with it, and the trick of luck is also well known.
Immediately begin to meditate, luck, and breathe.
Whew......
WhewW......
Feel the sense of qi, from the beginning of the difficulty, to the slow round, from the beginning of the faint, to gradually take shape......
The changes are unprecedented.
Chen Youniao Huo Ran opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise.
He didn't succeed in turning into gas, but the whole process, he felt completely different, and thus saw the hope of success.
In the past, luck either couldn't capture the sense of qi, or it was intermittent, like a stuck neck, stunned and very uncomfortable.
However, luck was quite smooth just now. It's like running water in a ditch, if there is a build-up of sediment in the ditch, it is very difficult for the water to flow through. But if the ditch is smooth and clean, the water is flowing smoothly and unimpeded, and the effect is very different.
What's going on?
Suddenly, it was like an enlightenment.
Could it be the effect of the fusion of souls......
Chen Youniao was puzzled and suddenly felt very tired.
This feeling is familiar, and I thought about it, and went to check "Wenxin Carving Dragon", and after counting it, I found that the literary tone had decreased by a full five.
For this tone, Chen Youniao remembers the quantity, whether it increases or decreases, he knows it in his heart.
Now I haven't written anything, it's just pranayama luck, and the tone is missing a whole five.
"I see!"
He immediately understood that it must be that Wen Qi had a good tonic effect on the Dao, and by depleting Wen Qi, he could promote the progress of his cultivation.
The tone of writing still has such a role!
As the saying goes, "the text carries the Tao", but I didn't expect it to be explained like this in this world.
Chen Youniao was overjoyed.
The increase in the atmosphere of writing can be accumulated through a lot of reading comprehension, study immersion, and so on. It's just that I didn't know what it worked on before, but when I practiced today, I discovered it and directly opened up a new world.
"Good!
Chen Youniao's face was full of joy, and the effect of Wen Qi had this effect, which meant that the hope of refining and refining Qi had greatly increased. If you continue at this pace, you will be able to successfully transform the gas over time.
How long this "time" will be, but it is impossible to say, it depends on the actual situation and chance.
The predecessor has been cultivating for ten years, accumulating over time, although the progress is slow, but after all, a certain foundation has been laid, and once it is stimulated, it will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort.
As long as you refine and refine the qi, you can officially become a Taoist priest. Although you still have to find a dojo for assessment and verification, only if you have cultivation, nothing else is fine.
At this moment, cultivation is expected.
Of course, the reserve of literary qi is the main premise, and who knows if the demand will increase greatly after cultivation? If the cultural qi is insufficient, then it will have to be stuck again.
Goo-goo!
Chen Youniao was thinking about rejoicing, and his stomach protested, and a strong feeling of hunger surged into his heart.
Counting the time, it was only about an hour before dinner. The meal he ate at the restaurant tonight was quite satisfying.
Hungry so soon?
There is no doubt that this is a "side effect" brought about by the outstanding effect of refining and refining gas.
There are many explanations for the essence of "jing", but no matter which one it is, it is closely related to diet, after all, diet is the main source of energy for people. Even if you become an immortal, the so-called "Bigu" just means that you don't eat ordinary fireworks in the world, you have to eat other things, devour vitality, and eat more advanced elixir jade liquid, elixir fairy fruit, etc.
"I'm so hungry!"
Chen Youniao called out unbearably.
But I just settled down today, and the kitchen was empty, without any ingredients, so I had to go out to eat on the street.
He didn't have any money with him, so he had to ask Uncle Wang for it.
Immediately strode out, babbling, opened the door, and went outside.
It was already night, and in the night sky, a bend of the moon shone with a cold glow.
By the moonlight, Chen Youniao saw a strange black shadow standing outside the ear room on the right. Looking at the location of that room, isn't it where Uncle Wang sleeps?
This black shadow has a slender head and a long body, and its belly is bulging like a balloon, and the pestle is there, indescribably weird. It seemed to be waiting, like it was looking for a way into the room...... It heard the door open and jerked back.
When Chen Youniao saw this, his whole body was cold, and he exclaimed: "Who are you?"
