Chapter 13: The Deceased
"The so-called cultivator is just absorbing the free vitality of this world to cleanse himself, and the better the quality of the body, the higher the efficiency of absorption and transformation, and of course, the earlier he comes into contact with the cultivation, the more beneficial it will be in the future. ”
In a Qingya inn in Qingping Town, Mr. Mo sat opposite Mu Chuan and explained the basic knowledge to the latter.
Since that day, the two of them have been living in this inn for seven or eight days, during which Mu Chuan only knew that he was carrying the water element body, as for what grade it was, Mr. Mo did not say clearly, but just said that if the rumored top element body, lazy every day, but not necessarily any outstanding achievements in the future, the matter of cultivation lies in perseverance. Speaking of this, Mr. Mo pointed to his heart before continuing, and there is still a heart. Mu Chuan wanted to ask again, but Mr. Mo only left a sentence, and you will know it in the future, so he will not say more.
Today is the day when Mu Chuan officially started his cultivation path.
"Yuan Qi can't be seen or touched, but this is just relative to ordinary people, we cultivators, not with our eyes," Mr. Mo pointed to his forehead and continued: "With our perception, in today's class, your task is to perceive the existence of Yuan Qi. ”
"Close your eyes and meditate. ”
The young man did as he was told, and Mr. Mo's voice continued to sound again.
"Eight Senses Return to the Yuan and Nine Palaces, Nine Dings Refine the Divine Spirits and Clear the ......" Slowly, the shouts of the vendors on the street outside the house slowly etherealized until they disappeared, followed by the clear cry of the yellow oriole in the courtyard, and finally Mr. Mo's slow and rhythmic recitation, Mu Chuan only felt that he had entered a mysterious and mysterious realm.
He no longer felt his body, at first the world was dark, but slowly a glimmer of light appeared, and after a while, these lights surrounded his divine consciousness, Mu Chuan felt that when these lights slowly surrounded him, some light was quietly penetrating into his body, but Mu Chuan did not feel a foreign body entering his body, on the contrary, there was some pleasure slowly diffuse.
Different from Mu Chuan's calmness when he closed his eyes, Mr. Mo's face had a look of suspicion on his face, if he hadn't watched the latter grow up, I am afraid that he couldn't help but suspect that he had already secretly practiced. You must know that Mr. Mo's first introduction to the yuan is not a profound exclusive secret method, on the contrary, this mantra is summarized by an ancient power, which is simple and easy to understand, but also very practical, down to the inferior element, up to the heaven-level element, can be used as a stepping stone, to help these novice practitioners can touch the threshold, as for whether they can cross, how far they can go after crossing, it depends on personal qualifications and opportunities.
After a long time, Mu Chuan opened his eyes, and the moment he opened them, a glimmer of light passed, but it was fleeting, and he suddenly felt refreshed after exhaling a long breath of turbidity, I don't know if it was an illusion, the young man felt that his hearing and vision were better than usual. But seeing Mr. Mo's frowning appearance, he hurriedly sorted out his emotions and asked, "Sir, has the student succeeded this time?"
Mr. Mo really wants to roll his eyes to the young man opposite, what is success? Let you settle down and perceive the vitality, you don't even consciously cycle Xiao Zhoutian, when he was practicing, he was happy for his master for the first time, but compared with the young man in front of him, he suddenly felt that his old face was dull. Mr. Mo's nostrils answered, and a so-so sentence was covered.
"Mu Chuan, you can remember that cultivation is like sailing against the current, no, to be precise, even if it is smooth water, you can't relax the strength of paddling, and there is nothing more taboo in cultivation than this. ”
Mr. Mo, who was watching, explained so seriously, Mu Chuan nodded solemnly: "Students remember." ”
"Now that you have mastered this practice, you can practice diligently every day. Next, I will tell you about the composition of this practitioner's realm. Mr. Mo poured himself a cup of tea, and then said: "The further you go to the realm of cultivation, the more difficult it is to climb. You'll understand that later. ”
"In today's cultivation world, there are mainly five realms, namely the Condensing Yuan Realm, the Foundation Building Realm, the Lingtai Realm, the Wheel Mirror, and the Phantom Moon Realm. Condensing Yuan Realm, as the name suggests, is the place where you can convert the free Yuan Qi into Yuan Liquid in the Sea of Consciousness, that is, the place you will eventually return to after you have just settled down. "Generally speaking, if you can complete a small Zhou Tian operation, you already have a trace of yuan fluid in your body, it's just a matter of how much.
Mu Chuan nodded, as Mr. Mo said, when he returned to the original place, he had already gathered a water tank-sized amount of Yuan liquid, if Mr. Mo heard this, I am afraid that he would have to suspect that his old eyes were dizzy and even lost his ability to investigate the Yuan body.
After taking a sip of tea, Mr. Mo continued: "The Foundation Building Realm and the Lingtai Realm are both a qualitative transformation process, and the liquid becomes solid, which not only tests the cultivator's control of the vitality, but also tests the solidity of the cultivator's basic skills. If the control is not enough, and the basic skills are not solid," after a pause, Mr. Mo picked up the two teacups on the table, one deep and thick, and the other thin and shallow, "It's like half of this tea set, which one is stronger and which one holds more, so I don't need to say more." ”
Mu Chuan thinks that this truth is easy to understand, just like the fishing boat used by the village to go to sea, the big boat with fine workmanship and materials will definitely be able to drive farther, and the more fish it will load, and vice versa, the less.
"In the cultivation world, there are two things that are most taboo, Mu Chuan must remember. One is that wealth is not exposed, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons among cultivators, and every yuan stone and medicinal herb you expose is a reason for people to remember you. The second is not to probe into other people's realms and exercises at will, which is only a lot more dangerous than the former. Mr. Mo sipped his tea lightly and said earnestly. The latter keeps every word in mind.
.........
In the middle of October, the autumn in Qingping Town was crisp, but the autumn tigers at noon were still very vicious, and the shops on both sides of the street were scattered with pedestrians sitting to escape the heat, and the rich ones were expelling four copper coins, shouting loudly for a plate of pickled radishes and a bowl of frozen mung bean soup; those who had no money were shy next to the black wooden counter and whispered to ask if a bowl of white water would be successful? The merchants in the town were probably much kinder, and the grunting guys still came out of the back hall carrying a pot of inferior tea, and each person still managed a bowl.
The list of the general election is also posted on the notice board at the entrance of the town yamen, but after a few months of wind and rain, not only the red of the paper has faded a little, but the names below that are far away from the eaves are also blurred a lot, but the names of the top few are still clear, especially the top of the list, which is said to have been written recently, and it is not indispensable.
Under the afternoon sun, an old man and a young man slowly approached, looking at the top of the list, the old man asked softly, "Is it a pity?"
"If it was before, it's a pity. But now, it's not a pity. The young man was slightly silent and replied.
"Let's take a look again, maybe I won't have a chance to look at it again in the future. The old man sighed and moved his steps towards the shade of the tree.
The horseshoe crashed against the smoothed stone pavement, and the crisp and rhythmic sound shattered the silence of the street. The tall Lin Horse looks extraordinary in the sun, and the carriage pulled behind it is even more dazzling, and the wall of the car with silk gold lines flowing out, writing a strong "king" word.
"Woohoo" Lin Ma stopped obediently, and when the owner of the car got down, he snorted happily.
The people in the car are also old and young, the young man is dressed in gorgeous clothes, heroic and compelling, but he looks dressed in black, and he does not smile. The two walked to the notice board and stood about twenty paces in front of the notice board, and the two teenagers looked at each other, it turned out to be old people.
"I've seen the list, as expected, without this son, this group of mediocre people can't fight you at all, congratulations. Although the words are congratulatory, there is no hint of congratulations.
"Thank you. The boy replied lightly.
The young man in Chinese clothes can't see him like this, and he doesn't even ask why Ben Gongzi doesn't take the exam? Do you think that Ben Gongzi is not worthy of being your opponent? A nameless fire arises spontaneously in your heart, you are a cheap bone born with mud legs, what are you pretending to be indifferent to fame and fortune in front of Ben Gongzi?
A gentleman who is indifferent and does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice? The young man in fancy clothes sneered in his heart, those hypocrites who looked otherworldly on the surface, didn't they melt their bones when they came to Qian Quan in the end? As soon as he greeted him, the group of self-respecting teaching gentlemen all ran to the house with their eyes in the hope that his rich father would reward him with a job and a half of his job, so as to ensure that he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Maybe there are those kind of people, but the young man in Chinese costume has not seen it.
Looking at the young man in sackcloth who was as tall as him on the other side, the latter had no expression on his face, his eyes were bright, and he just looked at him calmly.
Let you, the frog at the bottom of the well, see what it means to be a master! You will never be able to compare with me in your life!
At the same time as facing those eyes, the young man in Chinese clothes could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and burned wantonly.
