Chapter 45: Introductory Practice
By the time Xue Zilin returned to Cuizhuzhai for the next time, it was already the west.
At this time, in the courtyard dam, in the past half a day, Xuan Xuozi was still lying on the leisurely chair in the courtyard as usual.
And this Li Xinmei was a little idle, so she took Lin Yifan to reclaim a piece of wasteland in front of this Cuizhuzhai courtyard, and prepared to make a vegetable garden and plant some fruits and vegetables.
When Li Xinmei took Lin Yifan and returned to the small courtyard with a hoe, Xue Zilin had just entered the courtyard.
After a short period of greetings, for some reason, Li Xinmei found that Xue Zilin was a little different now, but she couldn't say what was different.
Now, Xuan Xuozi, who was still lying on the easy chair, had also finished the game of Zhou Gong, opened his eyes from the haze, and looked at Xue Zilin, who was cleaning up herbs in the courtyard, and greeted: "Oh, Zilin, when will you come back......"
Xue Zilin saw that Qi Xuanxuzi was greeting him, so he stopped what he was doing, turned around and responded: "Master, I just came back from the mountains......
"Oh......" Xuan Xuozi replied, and asked again: "Zilin, this half a day...... I wonder if you can get it now?"
"Xie Shizu's noon to the disciples, Zilin has benefited a lot today......"
"Hmm...... Yes, it's good to have gains...... Xuan Xuzi nodded, praised it, and then continued: "I have gained today, so I hope that in the future, on this mountain, I must correct my body and calm my mind, and finally I can get a glimpse of the avenue, do you understand......"
"Zilin understands ......"
"Well, it's good to understand...... Xuan Xuozi finished speaking, then he looked up at the sky that was already setting in the west, and then ordered: "Look at this hour, it's also the right time, you clean up, and take the little cub to go back to Longtan and teach some simple methods of spitting!"
Hearing this, Xue Zilin hurriedly responded: "Okay, Master, then I'll go to ...... in a while."
"Hmmm......"
Xuan Xuzi responded, slowly closed his eyes again, and began to wander into the void.
And this Xue Zilin, after collecting the herbs that were drying in the courtyard dam, he took Lin Yifan to return to Longtan according to Xuan Xuozi's instructions.
......
At this time, on the huge reef by Huilongtan, Lin Yifan was facing Huilongtan in accordance with Xue Zilin's requirements, sitting quietly on it, looking at it, the first lesson of meditation in this introduction, he also learned well.
Although Zhixiao has no interest in this cultivation, however, after so many years, under the influence of Ye Qing's ears and eyes, Lin Yifan has more or less some understanding of these simple methods of entering the Dao, so he has also saved Xue Zilin a lot of trouble.
Now, Xue Zilin, who was on the side, was constantly correcting Lin Yifan's movements, and looked at Lin Yifan in front of him as if he was a little upright, so he began to sit cross-legged and practice his own exercises.
The only regret is that the good times didn't last long, Xue Zilin's side had just started the exercises and entered the meditation realm, but Lin Yifan, who was on the side, suddenly burst out with a sentence that interrupted Xue Zilin's meditation realm: "Brother Xue...... My legs are a little numb......"
Hearing this, Xue Zilin hurriedly collected the exercises, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Lin Yifan, who had no more than half a sitting posture, and said: "Yifan, this is all very normal, slowly you will get used to it......"
"Habit? Oh, I think it's better to forget it......"
Lin Yifan was a little impatient and wanted to retreat, so he reached out and rubbed his somewhat numb legs, and then continued:
"I said, Brother Xue, why don't you teach me some interesting spells! I once heard my master say that this cultivator usually plays some kind of sword technique, volleying void...... What the hell...... How about you teach me North? It's really not interesting to meditate and absorb qi......
In fact, from the smallest to the largest, Lin Yifan is not unable to endure hardships, but he feels that this meditation and acceptance of qi really makes him feel a little bored and bored, and there is no fun at all.
Therefore, at this time, he very much hoped that Xue Zilin could teach him something more interesting and practical, and he really didn't want to continue to learn this meditation and qi!
"Hehehe......"
When Xue Zilin heard this, he could only smile bitterly before he said slowly: "Yifan, do you know this sword technique, as well as this volley void and other kung fu, how can you learn it if you want to?......
"In addition, this meditation and qi acceptance is the most basic lesson on the path of cultivation, and only when you really learn to meditate and absorb qi and build a successful foundation can you take the first step on this long path of monasticism, so ah...... If you want to achieve something, you should first obediently meditate and absorb your qi, and then think about the rest when you have succeeded in building the foundation!"
Xue Zilin's words were like a basin of cold water, and the little enthusiasm that had finally ignited in Lin Yifan's heart was instantly extinguished.
"Oh, so that's ......" Lin Yifan is now like a frosted eggplant, and he has no energy at all.
"Otherwise, hurry up, let's practice the Dao Entry Method first......" Xue Zilin looked at Lin Yifan's very impatient appearance and persuaded him.
"Alas......" Lin Yifan sighed, and then reluctantly responded: "Okay, okay...... Meditate, meditate!"
After the words fell, Lin Yifan reluctantly practiced according to the method of tuna given by Xue Zilin. Slowly, with the passage of time, Lin Yifan also seemed to gradually enter the state.
However, it didn't take long for a burst of "Huh~Zzz...... Huh~Zzz" sounded on the edge of Longtan, and with this burst of snoring, Lin Yifan's body also swayed left and right with this sound......
"Hehehe......" Xue Zilin looked at Lin Yifan, who was already asleep, and after chuckling helplessly, he raised his hand and patted his body and said: "Okay, okay...... Yifan, wake up...... Wake up......"
"What's up...... What's up...... Brother Xue......"
Under Xue Zilin's call, Lin Yifan opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand to wipe the Hadazi who had already flowed down three thousand feet, and asked blankly.
"Not much...... No, Yifan, I see why are you asleep?"
"Oh, are you asleep? How do I feel as if I've entered a meditative realm, and I'm too empty......"
"Meditation Realm, iQue is too empty......"
Xue Zilin looked at Lin Yifan, who was not afraid of blowing the cowhide to the bragging, and was also helpless for a while: "Yifan, I think I'll be here today...... Let's come tomorrow morning......"
Xue Zilin knew that this Lin Yifan had no enthusiasm for this cultivation path, but now that this had just begun, too much imposition would backfire. Therefore, I decided to stop here for today, and to bring him here early tomorrow morning.
"Come back tomorrow morning?......" When Lin Yifan heard this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Xue Zilin looked up at the sky that had already darkened, and then stood up from the reef and said, "Of course, the day is in the morning, so don't think about sleeping lazy tomorrow......"
"Okay, okay......"
When Lin Yifan heard that he couldn't sleep lazy, he was even more reluctant in his heart. However, there is nothing he can do now. Therefore, after answering Xue Zilin, he followed his steps and stepped onto the bluestone path leading to Cuizhuzhai by the side of the back to Longtan.
"Alas, Brother Xue, you said that you and my sister-in-law often see you meditating and cultivating, but you see that our old man, in addition to lying on that chair and sleeping all day long, where do you still need to meditate?"
Lin Yifan asked his doubts as he walked. He was a little puzzled, these were all cultivators, why the old man could sleep a lot every day.
"Hehe......" After Xue Zilin chuckled, he stopped and turned his head to look at Lin Yifan and said, "Yifan, if you can reach the realm of your ancestor in the future, you can also sleep a lot every day...... No need to meditate......"
Hearing this, Lin Yifan asked with some curiosity: "Oh, Brother Xue, then what realm do you say our old man has reached......
"Well, I don't know...... However, I guess we have already reached the state of the Great Perfection, and as for which stage of the Great Perfection it is, only the Master Ancestor himself knows......"
"Dzogchen...... Isn't Dzogchen great?"
"As for whether I can afford it, I don't know, anyway, there are only a few people in our Immortal Cloud Sect who can reach this realm...... Think for yourself!"
"Well, it seems that the old man does have some ability...... Lin Yifan nodded and agreed, paused, and asked again: "Brother Xue, you said that if the old man goes further, will he become an immortal......
"Becoming an immortal...... In this world, can people really break through that realm and become immortals?"
Xue Zilin also asked this question silently in his heart, and he Xue Zilin had never thought about this question about this path of cultivation. Because he knew that he and his wife had chosen to embark on this path, just to survive...... As for the rest, how could they have other extravagant desires at that time......
After fixing on some complicated thoughts, Xue Zilin said: "I don't know about this, you can ask the ancestor when you go back......"
"Oh...... Well......"
"Let's go...... Whenever you see it's dark......"
"Hmmm......"
When the two of them returned to the courtyard, Xuan Xuozi was still lying on the leisurely chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, until the two entered the courtyard, then he opened his eyes and greeted the two: "Zilin, you are back......"
"Hmm,...... Master, we're back. ”
"How is it? This little cub can still listen to the greeting......" Xuan Xuzi glanced at Lin Yifan behind Xue Zilin and asked.
"Well...... okay"
"Oh...... Just listen to the greeting......" Xuan Xuozi nodded, as if he was still a little satisfied, and then turned to Lin Yifan and asked, "Little cub...... How did it feel on the first day of the ......?"
"How does it feel...... Old man, you ask me......"
"Okay, you little cub, if you don't ask, it's hard to ask me......"
"Oh, old man...... To be honest, this meditation has made me have back pain and leg cramps, and there is no special feeling......"
"Hehehe......" Xuan Xuzi chuckled lightly at Lin Yifan's face, and said, "Are you asleep...... Huh?"
"No, no...... Where did I fall asleep, I just sat and sat and I was too empty, do you think I'm a genius?"
"Hahaha...... Also a genius...... Just like you, the door hasn't been touched yet, and you're still too empty, and you're just fooling me when it's dark?" Xuan Xuzi scolded with a burst of laughter.
"Alright, alright...... I'm not going to tell you...... I'm hungry, so I'm going to see my sister-in-law to get the rice ready...... The two of you talk slowly on your own...... Okay, I'll call you ......."
Lin Yifan saw that he was bragging big, not very round, so he hurriedly dropped the fluttering words, turned away, and after Lin Yifan turned to leave, Xue Zilin on the side saw that his Xuanxuzi was also retreating without any instructions.
