Shen Chaixing saw that in the dead of night, although he didn't know where he could sleep, it was inconvenient to disturb others, and seeing that the tea house was spacious, he simply meditated here and practiced. This practice is different from the past, if you practice according to the book method, you should practice each picture for a few years, and then practice the next one step by step after the success, Shen Chaixing used to enter the next picture immediately after practicing one, and the cycle repeated. But yesterday, inspired by the Vajra statue of the Heavenly King Palace, and today he realized the way of existence and non-existence, except for the last picture, he can already cultivate the other nine pictures at the same time. If you practice like this for an hour, the effect is nine times that of a single practice. It's just that such cultivation is extremely difficult, people often say "one heart and one mind", if you can achieve "one heart and two uses", it is already very difficult, such a heart and nine uses, ordinary people can not imagine. Secondly, this is extremely risky, ordinary people cultivating a true qi may still go mad, the slightest mistake in the nine true qi or mixing, colliding, will immediately dissipate the true qi, burn the scriptures and die, it is indeed extremely dangerous, therefore, since ancient times, no one has ever practiced like this.

Of course, Shen Chaixing didn't know how dangerous it was, he just thought it was very interesting to practice like this. I saw him meditate like an old monk, and in a moment, the nine true qi in his body came as promised, and at the same time, it slowly started from the dantian and the eight veins, and under the control of his mind, he slowly ran between the meridians according to a certain route. After the nine True Qi were running at the same time for thirty-six weeks, the speed began to increase little by little.

Shen Chaixing felt that his body was getting lighter and brighter, and as the speed of his true qi continued to accelerate, he slowly felt that his body was disappearing, getting closer and closer to the state of "nothing", but the true qi in his body was getting stronger and stronger, faster and faster, as if it was about to explode at any time. At this time, Shen Chaixing's body and mind were divided into two different individuals, and the body seemed to be enjoying a strong inexplicable pleasure, until the true qi exploded and reached the "nothingness", while the mind was reminding itself to maintain a state of "non-nothingness". In the wrestling between the two sides, with the faster and faster high-speed operation of the Nine Dao True Qi, the body or True Qi occupied the upper hand, and the power of the mind gradually fell to the downwind. The control of consciousness runs at high speed on its own, and a vortex is generated as the center of a dantian, and at the same time, a sphere composed of true qi is produced with the vortex as the origin, which is expanding little by little, the center shrinks inward, but the sphere expands outward, these two completely opposite forces, but they are combined for no reason, which is unbelievable. At the same time, energy matter is constantly being sucked into the void. All this can't be seen in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the feeling of Shen Chaixing's body, it is true.

At this time, Shen Chaixing could no longer feel the existence of the physical body, he only felt that he had become a huge ball of light and existed, the temperature was getting higher and higher, higher than his own understanding, everything could not be stopped, only the explosion of the ball of light could end the operation. The last bit of strength in Shen Chaixing's mind told himself that it would be absolute nothingness and darkness.

"Perhaps, that's where I belong. The "I" in Shen Chaixing's heart comforted. Then he closed his mind••••••

In an instant, a crisp wooden fish sound came, and Shen Chaixing's weak heart shook, like a drop of cool and sweet spring water dripping into the dry earth, and then, drop by drop, with the dense sound of wooden fish, the water droplets turned into streams, and the streams converged into rivers, and the rivers flowed into the sea. The temperature is getting colder and lower, and the rough sea is gradually returning to calm.

Shen Chaixing seemed to wake up from another world, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The bald-headed little novice glared at him nervously. Seeing that he woke up, his tense little face showed joy, and he just wanted to shout, but he hurriedly covered his mouth and waved his hand behind him excitedly. Ji Tan Zongxi, who was not far behind Shami, put down the wooden fish in his hand and smiled. But Shen Chaixing noticed that Ji Tan Zongxi's body was soaked with sweat, and he was still trembling slightly at the moment.

At this time, Ji Tan Zongxi seemed to be suddenly dozens of years old, and wanted to get up and walk, but he couldn't catch it and couldn't stand up. Xiao Shami was about to step forward to help, but Shen Chaixing's mind moved, and his body had already come to Ji Tan Zongxi's side and helped him up.

Shen Chaixing helped Ji Tan Zongxi outside the bamboo house, at this time the sky was already bright, the early birds were chirping in the bamboo forest, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Ji Tan Zongxi sat down on a stone bench, and Xiao Shami made new tea for the two of them on the stone platform. Shen Chaixing thanked him, but Sha Mi just smiled and shook his hand, probably not to be polite, and then bowed away.

Shen Chaixing looked at his figure in the forest, he had never seen him speak, and he was wondering if this child was mute? Ji Tan Zongxi smiled: "This child is not dumb!" Shen Chaixing moved his gaze to Ji Tan Zongxi, at this time Zong Xi had recovered the appearance he had when he first met. Shen Chaixing was not surprised at all that he could see through what he was thinking, and he had the so-called "Six Divine Powers" when he practiced to a certain level, and "His Heart Skills" was just one of them.

"Nine years ago, on a snowy winter morning, I was meditating in the meditation room when I suddenly got up and went outside the temple. On the stone steps of the mountain gate, a baby wrapped in brocade was crying, and his little face was red from the cold. It was an abandoned baby. I quickly picked up the baby, a healthy baby boy, dressed in silk and satin, and a letter with his birth date written on it, but without a signature or name. Look at this child who has experienced life and death since birth, and thinks of the sorrow of life, resentment, love and separation, and can't ask for it! ”

"I can't be smart and clever since I was a child, whether it is Buddhist scriptures or martial arts, I can understand it at one point, and I can draw inferences from one another. In addition, he is kind-hearted, lively and cheerful, talks non-stop all day long, and can talk to anyone, and all the monks love him. ”

"It wasn't until last spring that I couldn't wait to see the big bird in the tree feeding the bird, and suddenly I thought about it and shed tears. Since then, he has been silent and sullen. The crowd didn't know why, so they asked him three questions, and he only answered one. I saw what was on his mind, so I deliberately provoked him with words, if you really don't speak, it is better to practice 'Shut Up Meditation' for a year, and maybe when the time comes, I will allow you to go down the mountain and find your biological parents. ”

"As soon as he heard what I said, his face was happy, and the whole person became cheerful, but he really kept silent and practiced closed-mouth meditation!"

When Shen Chaixing heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Then how long has he been repairing?"

Ji Tan Zongxi laughed: "After all, you are a teenager, don't you want to ask yourself what you just experienced?"

Shen Chaixing smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to ask, it's just that I have a feeling that I've been in a big disaster, and I'm afraid that you will blame me!"

When Ji Tan Zongxi heard this, his face showed kindness, and he said slightly: "You are really a person of temperament, pure feelings, I like it very much." You and I have a very deep fate, if you look at the martial arts you have practiced, you have to call me master, if you count from your grandfather Wu Wang Zhang Shicheng, you have to call me grandpa. I am most qualified to 'blame' you!" Then he said to him with a serious face: "Just now, you walked away from the ghost gate, and it was extremely dangerous. It's just that I can't talk about you right away, deliberately diverting your attention elsewhere. At this moment, you are completely one body and mind, and after the dangerous period, I will talk to you. ”

"The things between heaven and earth and the universe can be roughly divided into two categories, one is something that can be seen and touched, or something that you can feel even though you can't see or touch, such as the true qi cultivated in your body. There is also the power of the mind. These two types of forces are cultivated at the same time and complement each other, that is, they are cultivating the Dao, that is, the 'life' in the eyes of all beings!"

"If you only cultivate one aspect to the extreme, or if you cultivate at the same time, but the two are high and low, and they cannot complement each other, you will enter the 'demon', and the result will be 'death or destruction'. Of course, 'life' and 'death' are just two directions or sides of the same thing, and there is no right or wrong. ”

"Your method of cultivating True Qi has surpassed that of your predecessors, reaching a realm that no one has ever stepped into before, even if I am ashamed of myself. However, if you have deviated in the cultivation of the mind, in the final analysis, it is just one word -- 'attachment'! You are both 'attached' to 'existence and non-existence' and 'non-existence and non-existence,' and you have to understand the truth that 'emptiness is also emptiness.' ”

"The Buddha's smile is the enlightenment after going through the rolling red dust and seeing through birth, old age, sickness and death. If you only rely on the quiet room and think hard and build the car behind closed doors, of course, you will not be able to achieve positive results. Therefore, you have to go through a lot of hardships, see all the states of life, taste the ups and downs, feel the grievances and hatreds, maybe one day, by chance, suddenly look back, and suddenly come to an enlightenment. ”
