Fourth, condensation

After staying for a long time on this page with the two Taoist rhymes of life and death, Meng Tongchen closed the book, closed his eyes and recalled, and after confirming that he could clearly remember the shape of these two words, Meng Tongchen changed his sitting posture and put on a standard posture with five hearts facing the sky, ready to start trying to enter the meditation.

Meditation is difficult to say, easy to say, nothing more than not to have distracting thoughts. However, people have seven emotions and six desires, and all kinds of thoughts are complicated, and it is not easy to talk about not having distracting thoughts. Meng Tongchen has lived for more than 20 years in his previous life, and with the self-control he has cultivated through hard study in the cold window in the past, he has tried his best to clear many distracting thoughts in his mind, and the effect seems to be okay.

One thought after another in his mind was like a bubble rising and bursting, Meng Tongchen didn't pay attention to them, but just silently recited the content of the first part of the "True Classic of Life and Death" over and over again in his heart, and he seemed to have the feeling of reciting the text back then. As the scriptures in my mind flowed over and over again, the ripples brought by the ups and downs of many thoughts became weaker and weaker, and at this moment, a thick and long bell suddenly rang, as if it came from a far away, but it was unusually clear and not harsh.

Listening to the bell, Meng Tongchen only felt that the spiritual platform was unprecedentedly clear, and suddenly felt that his perspective was suddenly raised, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a vast sea under his feet, in which there were waves from time to time.

"This is my world of thought?" Meng Tongchen suddenly seemed to have an understanding in his heart. Then the camera plummeted from a great height, straight into the sea. Meng Tongchen was clear at this time, not in a hurry, still silently reciting the words in the classics, the speed of the perspective falling suddenly decreased, and when he was about to touch the sea, he had stopped, Meng Tongchen was looking at it, there were only black and white in front of him, and among the black and white colors, two big words were faintly highlighted: one was "life";

In the next moment, black and white flowed, life and death changed, Meng Tongchen only felt dizzy for a while, and fell backwards suddenly.

When he opened his eyes again, there was already a gray-white roof in front of him, and Meng Tongchen found that he was also in a state of falling on all fours and on his back at this time. Finally struggled to get up, but Meng Tongchen suddenly felt unbearable hunger in his belly, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately ran to the small table, grabbed the gourd, tore open the lid, poured a handful of Bigu Dan in his hand, and swallowed it directly, only then did he feel better in his stomach.

Swallowing the Bigu Pill, Meng Tongchen only felt that his body was warm, and the pill quickly turned into a stream of heat when it entered his abdomen, flowing all over his limbs and hundreds of remains, making his body full of strength immediately. Moreover, after the heat flow through the large and small meridians on the body, it converges in the dantian, where there is a small black and white two-color air mass, which grows slightly by half a thread with the heat flow.

True Qi? I have cultivated True Qi? Meng Tongchen stood on the spot, unable to react for a while. Then, he suddenly sat down cross-legged and immediately began to exercise according to the description in the "True Classic of Life and Death".

The black and white true qi in the dantian slowly began to rotate with the operation of the palace formula, and traces of black or white true qi flowed out, flowing all over the body along the meridians, stimulating the acupoints around the body, and allowing the acupoints to be nourished by it.

After a Zhou Tian's true qi was finished, Meng Tongchen opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. If you maintain this speed all the way, although it is still impossible to directly break through to the Nazhen realm before the entrance test, it is enough to lay a solid foundation and will not be dragged down in the subsequent realm.

Meng Tongchen, who was happy in his heart, immediately wanted to strike while the iron was hot and hurry up to cultivate his true qi, but he couldn't settle his mind for a while, and he couldn't enter a state of tranquility, so he had to laugh at himself helplessly: "Sure enough, he is not a person with a steady mind." ”

He had always looked at it, and since he couldn't continue his cultivation at this time, he stopped, picked up the book again, and prepared to look at the back part first.

The "True Book of Life and Death" is only a thin volume, first, its Chinese characters are concise and profound, and there is no need to repeat too much, and second, this volume actually has only two articles, only until the part before it is condensed into the meaning of the law, and the subsequent part can only be taught until it reaches the corresponding realm or makes merits.

Although the book is very thin, Meng Tongchen is very fascinated by it, and often falls into contemplation because of one of the sentences, and the time of an hour or two is fleeting, but he has not realized it at all. It wasn't until a gentle bell sounded in his ears that he looked up from his book.

"Another bell? No, it's different. Hearing the bell again, Meng Tongchen suddenly remembered the sound he had heard in his cultivation, but the voice sounded directly from his heart, and the rhyme flowed, thick and long. The bell ringing in my ears now was clearly coming from somewhere in the Netherworld, and it was soft, but it had a unique magic that attracted attention.

When he was wondering about the source of the bell, there was a sudden knock on the door, Meng Tongchen opened the door, a little boy was waiting there, he bowed slightly and saluted and then said: "Today is the day of preaching in the Santu Temple, please go as soon as possible." ”

Today is already the seventh day? Meng Tongchen's heart suddenly set off a stormy wave, fortunately, he had the experience of his previous life, not a fifteen or sixteen child, so he controlled his expression in time and said calmly: "I know, this is over." By the way, what is this bell?"

The boy chuckled, straightened his chest with a little pride, and said: "Master, you don't know when you first arrive, this bell is a treasure in the door, called the Awakening Heart Bell, because I am afraid that the little ones will disturb the master's cultivation, so I ring this bell first, so that the master can withdraw from the silence and not be disturbed." ”

He said simply, it seemed that this bell only had the function of reminding everyone, but Meng Tongchen immediately thought that this bell could make people release from a state of silence, so if it was used in the fighting method, would it also interfere with people's minds and make people unable to focus?

After cleaning up a little, Meng Tongchen walked upstairs and found that the little boy and Feng Sheng Qian An were waiting there, but when they saw Meng Tongchen, their expressions seemed to be a little unnatural.

The abnormal expressions of the young girl couldn't hide from Meng Tongchen, just when he was puzzled, Qian An seemed to finally couldn't hold it back, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng is really the hardest among us, it seems that he has really forgotten to sleep and eat these days." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing more and more, and Meng Tongchen suddenly reacted to what he was laughing at.

Before going out just now, I forgot that I had just finished a seven-day meditation, and I just washed my face and went out, and my image at this time was probably ·····
