Chapter 14: The Mind Method
The sunset is sinking, and the sunset is like fire.
Smoke floated from the chimney of the restaurant, and in a short time, seven dishes were placed between the jasper round tables.
Three meat and four vegetables, the color is bright and the style is extremely beautiful, and the steaming thin fragrant mist diffuses the entire dining hall, teaching people's eyes to shine, and the appetite is greatly boosted by shortness of breath!
This beautiful cooking skill is from the hand of Nan Lifeng, and the process of cooking is smooth and skillful and natural, which makes Yang Yifan greedily smell the fragrance, and he has not reacted yet.
The three of them set up the dishes, dishes and chopsticks, and did not sit down directly to eat, but only followed Nanli Fenghou and waited in front of the door for a long time.
The sun was sinking, and the sky was slightly dull blue, and there was still no movement outside the house about half of the hour, and Nan Lifeng said, "Let's eat." ”
Su Yao'er heard the sound as if she had been forgiven, and couldn't wait to grab a nearby position, she threw herself on the table and let go of the posture, and couldn't help but forget that she added vegetables to her bowl and then stuffed them into her pink and tender mouth, and swallowed.
Six of the nine tables and chairs are vacant, and seven dishes are particularly sumptuous. Nan Lifeng first grabbed a piece of meat from an unknown object with chopsticks and handed it into Yang Yifan's eyes, the meat piece was full of sauce, and the color was golden orange and extremely beautiful.
Nan Lifeng smiled: "Although the spirit fruit is nourishing, you should be tired of eating it every day, try my brother's specialty dishes today!"
The meat is smooth and delicate in the mouth, and Yang Yifan gently chews the deliciousness of the meat in his mouth, and the sauce blooms from the tip of his tongue, which is an indescribable delicious fragrance.
Delicious!
Yang Yifan's pupils opened, chewed and swallowed again and again, he stretched out his chopsticks to the plate of deliciousness, but saw that the plate had been washed and all entered into the bowl opposite. Su Yao'er reached out and wiped her pink lips, wiped the sauce at the corners of her lips, and walked towards another plate of wind and clouds.
Although the meat is gone, the other dishes are sweet and delicious, and they are even better than the sauce meat.
Yang Yifan took a few chopsticks and handed them to his mouth, seeing that Nan Lifeng was not in a hurry or eating slowly, and there were few people in the vacant places, no one came over, so he couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, what about the other senior brothers?
Nan Lifeng wiped his lower lip and said with a smile: "I originally thought that I would introduce them to the junior brother one by one when they came back." Among the seven disciples of this lineage, I have been practicing for 13 years at the earliest, ranking first, and I have never left the sect since I entered the inner gate of Mixed Yuan Peak. The second junior sister Long Yu has been in the industry for eleven years, and last year she was in Lei Ze to investigate the flood, and it is estimated that it will take three or five years to come back. The third junior brother Leng Changfeng and the fourth junior brother Mo Yiyun have been in the field for nine years, and they have been returning since they cultivated three years ago and entered the four-layer imperial law realm and traveled down the mountain. The fifth junior sister Su Yao'er has been in the school for three years and four months, and the sixth junior sister..."
Nan Lifeng said to the sixth senior sister, his voice paused, and then continued: "The sixth senior sister of Ye Ning is talented and intelligent, and she started a few days earlier than you, and the master personally guided the cultivation method, and she has a withdrawn temperament and never comes here to eat. ”
Yang Yifan nodded, kept the names of several senior brothers and sisters in mind, and then asked curiously, "What about Master?"
Nan Lifeng smiled and said, "Master, his old man will come over occasionally. However, when you have cultivated to that state, you can replenish your body from the natural aura, and it doesn't matter if you eat or not, you may occasionally satisfy your appetite for a long time and make a tooth sacrifice. ”
Su Yao'er tilted her head, her round cheeks were wrapped in delicious food, and muttered, "Senior brother, junior brother, can you stop talking about it." Eat while it's hot, it's not good when it's cold. ”
Crunch!
The door of the dining hall suddenly made a soft noise, and someone pushed it open from the outside. The three of them were eating, and they all looked up, only to see a young man in black brocade walking in with a folding fan.
The person who came was in his early twenties, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and a bit of chic and extraordinary temperament. He entered the door, a pair of sharp eyes fell straight on the dining table, slapped the folding fan in his hand in his palm and closed it, and said with a smile: "Just in time, just in time!"
Nan Lifeng's face was slightly stunned, then showed a hint of joy, and said with a smile: "It's the fourth child who is back, sit down quickly." ”
The third child in the south is the fourth junior brother Mo Yiyun who just talked about it. The young man pulled out the bench and sat on it, took a deep breath of the aroma, and said with a smile: "I can smell the aroma of 'fried onion rabbit meat' and 'green pepper bamboo shoots' from outside the mountain.
Click, a pair of chopsticks fell on the porcelain bowl and made a crisp sound, Su Yao'er's chewing action suddenly paused, and her watery eyes were moistened with a layer of mist.
Mo Yiyun pouted: "Senior Sister Su, what's wrong?"
Su Yao'er choked up, picked up the chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "No, no... Probably, maybe the big white is too delicious..."
Nan Lifeng stroked his forehead, the injured white rabbit before was under Su Yao'er's 'careful' care for half a month, and finally became a minor injury, and the serious injury did not heal until he was dying this morning. Su Yao'er threw it into the dining hall to make the best use of it, and this is why tonight's plate of fried onion rabbit meat was presented. However, now that the food has been distributed, it has all entered Su Yao'er's lower abdomen.
Nan Lifeng said: "Don't joke about the fourth brother, how can the senior brother know the method of the prophet, isn't this another new junior brother, make a delicious meal to celebrate." In the past few years that you and Changfeng have not been on the mountain, in addition to this little junior disciple Yang Yifan, the master has also accepted another new disciple. ”
Mo Yiyun's eyes moved away from the table full of dishes, and only then did he notice the half-tall child next to Nan Lifeng. His eyes narrowed, bent into the shape of a crescent moon, and said with a light smile: "My name is Mo Yiyun, and Little Brother Yifan calls me Fourth Brother or Fourth Senior Brother Ducheng." This time I came back in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts, this folding fan is a welcome gift first, and I will definitely bring you something delicious next time!"
Yang Yifan didn't politely shirk it, took the folding fan handed by Mo Yiyun, and smiled obediently: "Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother!"
Su Yao'er buried her head in the dishes, and suddenly raised her head sharply with an "ah", she reacted and stared at Mo Yiyun, and screamed strangely: "I said why did someone talk to me just now, the voice is still familiar, it turned out to be you! Mo Yiyun, why did you come back, where is my third senior brother?"
Nan Lifeng looked at the door, and asked curiously: "Fourth, didn't the third junior brother go down the mountain with you to practice, why didn't you see him when you came back?"
Mo Yiyun casually took a few bites of food, and there was no smile on his face, and he whispered: "The two of us... The two of us encountered a little trouble near the southern Xinjiang, and the third junior brother couldn't get out of it for the time being, so I slipped back this time to check the classics over there, and don't tell the master that I'm going to go over for a while!"
Su Yao'er stood up suddenly when she heard the sound, her red little face was full of anger, her eyes burst into flames, and she shouted, "What happened to the third senior brother?"
Speaking of Southern Xinjiang, Nanlifeng's complexion has become very ugly, and no matter how mature and stable his mentality is, he can't help but get nervous at this moment. He knew very well that the kind of ancient fierce land had always been there and never returned, but it was a territory that the sect ordered to strictly prohibit his disciples from setting foot in!
Nan Lifeng frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?"
Mo Yiyun frowned and sighed, how could he still be free and easy when he came, and said: "It's the Great Wilderness Mountain, the Great Wilderness Mountain at the intersection of Middle Earth, Dongzhou and Southern Xinjiang! We explored a historic site, and the third child accidentally triggered the ban and was locked in an underground palace, and I came back this time to see if there was any record of the collection and rescue method of that mountain." ”
Su Yao'er frowned, threw the bone slag in her hand at him, and scolded angrily: "Mo Yiyun, you bastard! Why wasn't it you who was locked up?
The Great Wilderness Mountain, the foothills of the mountain have extended to the 'Southern Xinjiang' region, and it is extremely dangerous. Even the Seven Saints of Cangli dare not easily set foot in the forbidden area!
Nan Lifeng's face darkened, and he was silent for a moment and said: "The records of the third row of the ancient Tibetan Palace, the fourth and fifth floors of the Ding position, the Great Wilderness Mountain and the Underground Burial Palace, you have to read carefully, the fourth. ”
Mo Yiyun squeezed out a wry smile and said, "Thank you Senior Brother for your advice..."
The mountain has been living with the barren mountains and wilderness all day long, and the life is hard, which is better than the craftsmanship of the senior brother on the mountain. Mo Yiyun was preoccupied, so he ate some casually and went away.
Su Yao'er puffed out her cheeks and looked resentful, and when she saw Mo Yiyun leaving, she also got up and scolded and followed. Yang Yifan stayed to help the senior brother clean up the leftovers, and it was already time for the night to be busy.
Leaving the Shang Dining Hall, the two did not return to the remote hut in the morning. Instead, I walked not far away, and went to a nearby courtyard, where the flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom, and the maple bamboo swayed quite elegantly, and the south left the wind to open the door, and the three-bedroom room was particularly spacious.
The house was bright, and Nan Lifeng smiled slightly: "There are not many yards on the mountain, and there are people in the remote and provincial area who disturbed your cultivation, so the little junior brother will live here in the future." In the next few days, Senior Brother still has important things to do, so I can't accompany you, so I'll teach you a few words of the "Jade Xuan Sword Codex" tonight. ”
The heart method is an important method for cultivating and entering the Dao, and the disciples of the Cangli Sword Sect are using the "Jade Xuan Sword Codex" as the foundation of cultivation to cultivate the true qi and enter the way of the sword.
Yang Yifan looked happy and nodded. The two took off their shoes and sat down cross-legged on the big bed.
Nan Lifeng coughed, cleared his voice and said, "Before learning the mental method, I will tell you about the relevant matters. ”
"The path of cultivation in the world is a total of five realms, collectively known as the 'Immortal Dao Five Heavens'. The first three sects of the Cloud Wilderness have different cultivation methods, and they are said to be different, and generally speaking, they are also comparable according to the division. The first three layers of the Dongzhou Sword Sect are collectively called Yuan Ling, Huashen, and Tianhe, and each of them is divided into ten layers of small realms. Don't look at the five realms, but in the cloud wilderness, nine out of nine monks are stuck in the first level, and they can't enter the second level in their lifelong practice. ”
Yang Yifan listened carefully and remembered it in his heart, and Nan Lifeng said: "The way of cultivation is the most important talent and opportunity. Chance is too mysterious, pay attention to luck and fate, too ethereal and not easy to force... And those with outstanding talents, the seventy-two qi points around their bodies can be quickly opened, and their breath and exhalation can be ten times the strength of ordinary mortals. Because of the limited longevity of human beings, the path of cultivation is almost influenced by qualifications, if you can't enter the realm of dual gods before the cultivation is 100 years old, it is almost impossible, even if the peak age of the Yuan Spirit realm is only 300, it will turn into a dry bone. ”
Yang Yifan's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Senior brother, what are my qualifications? Can I enter the realm of transforming gods?"
Nan Lifeng smiled lightly, stroked the young man's head with his palm, and said with relief: "Your qualifications are at least better than mine... If you practice hard, you may have more hope of stepping into the realm of transforming gods. ”
If you enter the realm of transforming gods, you will be able to stand out from the thousands of immortal cultivators and become a sword venerable existence that is admired by people like a master!
Yang Yifan's heart is not yet mature, he only listens to the words of encouragement, and he is excited and smiles, and he understands the bitterness in Nan Lifeng's words. Nan Lifeng has been struggling in the fourth-layer realm for thirteen years, and then the fifth-level sister who has only been in the beginning for three years is close to the fourth-layer realm, and ten years is just like a chasm, and he knows that his qualifications are extremely poor, and he has long lost hope in transforming into a god.
And the qualification is divided into bones and understanding. The root bone is affected by the innate constitution, and the comprehension is the degree to which the intelligence is the comprehension and thorough understanding of the mental method, and the two complement each other to become talented. If you are only good at the root and have no understanding, and if you are mentally retarded, you will not be able to delve into the mind and practice. If the root bone is very poor and the perception is extremely high, it will not be able to know but not reach, and the realm will not be able to catch up with its own understanding, and the longer the time passes, the sword will be uncertain, and the heart will be impetuous, which will lead to madness.
Nan Lifeng also knew that Yang Yifan might have a good understanding, but his roots and bones were really not good, and he was above average among thousands of disciples. If according to the strict conditions for accepting apprentices from the Cangli Sword Sect, at most one outer disciple will be in the name of Banhori Peak Lingming City, and he will be doing miscellaneous labor. The little junior brother can worship the inner door, it is really the master's extrajudicial grace, and I am very happy!
Nan Lifeng coughed, and then said: "All the monks are in the realm of the Yuan Spirit, and the Yuan Spirit has ten layers, namely Sword Void, Condensation Void, Qi Gathering, Yuan He, Imperial Law, Soul Snatching, True One, Spirit He, Jian Gang, and Tianxuan! Among them, the Imperial Law is also the Imperial Sword, and the monk can only be called Xiaocheng when he reaches the five-layer Imperial Sword realm. ”
Yang Yifan's eyes lit up, Edgeworth was a cultivation that fascinated him, if he wanted to travel through the wasteland, it was possible to at least reach Edgeworth... Most mortals can't get out of the cloud desolate state with only two legs for half their lives, and they don't know the vastness of heaven and earth.
Nan Lifeng paused, and said with a serious face: "What the senior brother said next is related to the foundation of the sect, the Jade Xuan Sword Code is a secret that will not be passed on, and anyone who reveals the heart of the sect to outsiders will be regarded as a major crime of betrayal, so junior brother, you have to swear!"
Yang Yifan saw that Nan Lifeng's face was cold, not like he was joking, he immediately accepted the pleasure, his little face tightened, and he raised his right hand above his head and said solemnly: "Disciple Yang Yifan will respect the teachings of Master and Senior Brother, and will never reveal the heart and secrets of this sect.
A smile appeared on Nan Lifeng's face and said, "You can just keep these words in your heart." ”
Nan Lifeng said as he took out a small bag from his arms, and carefully opened it to contain two neatly wrapped booklets. Yang Yifan took the two booklets handed over by Nan Lifeng and opened them, one was full of swordsmanship moves and footwork, and the other began with eighteen rules and thirty-two small precepts. Turning it back again, there are dense small characters, and there are circles and long notes written between the lines.
Nan Lifeng said: "The Sword Void Realm is to practice swordsmanship and footwork, integrate the two hundred and seventeen styles of swordsmanship and footwork of this sect, and turn the tangible sword style into the invisible sword style to achieve a small success." This realm focuses on external cultivation, and it takes as little as three or five years to learn and comprehend for decades. The second layer of the condensation realm focuses on internal breath, and can be practiced at the same time as the first layer of sword void. ”
Yang Yifan pondered for a moment, as if he had an understanding.
Nan Lifeng said: "The human body has seventy-two qi apertures, mortals are born with both the mouth and nose and the two orifices, and the acquired seventy orifices are broken through by the cultivation of true qi or true spirits. The qi aperture is also called the 'door', which can gather the true spirit to absorb the vitality, and take the jade Xuan heart method as the guide to comprehend the heaven and earth spirit yuan to absorb one's own body, do the body to run the meridians in the whole day and nourish the meridians, and finally sink into the Danfu, and the second layer of the condensation realm is considered to be completed. ”
Yang Yifan seemed to understand something, and asked, "Is it true that the more qi apertures are opened, the bigger the door will be, the more true elements of heaven and earth will be absorbed, and the cultivation speed will be faster?"
Nan Lifeng nodded with a smile and said, "The son can be taught." ”
"There is also an unwritten rule in this sect that disciples will only teach the two layers of mental methods above the realm. In addition to listing the precepts of this sect, the following is the mental formula that records the realm of condensation and qi gathering, and the senior brother has used it to explain everything he doesn't understand. Junior disciple can listen to my thoughts in the crosshairs, you must keep in mind that you must not miss a word or a half when practicing, otherwise your life may be in danger!
Yang Yifan understood, took a deep breath and nodded heavily. He opened the book and looked at the mental method behind him, and Nan Lifeng recited the mental formula at the same time:
"The mystery of the mystery begins in the heart, the shadow of the heart is in the dust, the wisdom and sensitivity are sensitive, there is no que, there is no loss without vain, so there is no heart without dust and no consciousness without vain!
Nan Lifeng read very slowly, and Yang Yifan looked at the interpretation of the law in the center of the book with a pair of eyes, and looked very seriously. Maybe it's memory loss, the brain is blank, Yang Yifan's memory is very sensitive after waking up, and all the classics he has read, the things he has seen in his eyes can be completely presented in his mind, which is comparable to the talent of unforgettable.
The mental method of condensing the void, the whole article is fifty-one sentences, and the first twenty sentences are mainly to teach people how to empty themselves, calm their minds, how to enter the Tao from the mortal, and abandon the mortal dust to open up the immortal heart. The last 31 sentences are the method of guiding breathing and breathing, teaching people to perceive the true essence of heaven and earth into their own bodies, and urging them to run Zhou Tian Shen in Danfu through specific meridian behaviors in the body. This realm doesn't seem to be too difficult, as long as the captured Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is sent to the Mortal Mansion. Compared with the seventy-eight mental formulas in the Qi Gathering Realm, it is really mysterious and obscure, Yang Yifan struggled to look at the dense codex annotations, and his scalp was numb, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Nan Lifeng recited seven or eight sentences of the Qi Gathering Method, paused, and simply stopped reading. He taught Yang Yifan to sit cross-legged, spread his hands evenly on his knees, and formed a sword finger, directly trying the method of entering the Condensation Realm.
Yang Yifan directly took a deep breath and held it in his chest according to the method explained in the book, and at the same time urged the heart method to drive the stuffy breath in the chest into the meridians in the body, trying the path of Zhou Tian's operation.
However, the airflow drilled into the meridians, as if there was life coming to life, the airflow was very naughty, no matter how Yang Yifan urged, the airflow jumped up and down and did not run according to the meridian path at all, and the mental mantra that he was in a hurry to recite silently became impatient, and the airflow suddenly became disordered, not advancing and retreating, stimulating the meridians, and the whole body was like a knife. Yang Yifan trembled and sweated, and his face turned pale and shook out that breath with an "ah".
Nan Lifeng saw it in his eyes and knew it as well as his chest. The junior disciple made the mistake that new disciples would encounter when they first learned to practice, and once again admonished: "The path of cultivation should be calm and distracting, and you should not bring it into your mood, let alone be impatient and reckless. It is necessary to gradually explore and comprehend from the mental method, and understand it thoroughly. Any word that is just wrong is very likely to cause the operation to lose momentum and go crazy! So, take your time..."
Yang Yifan wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, exhaled a few breaths, nodded and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Yifan understands." ”
Running the mind is an extremely mind-consuming act, at least from a beginner's point of view, everything is esoteric, incomprehensible, and incomprehensible.
Yang Yifan was cautious, not impatient, and urged his mind as slowly as possible, and the inhaled air flow was like the sand in his hand, and the wind in the air could not be grasped and touched, and he had no way to start.
Once, twice, three times...
From a high concentration to a slow sleepiness, Yang Yifan patted his cheeks and refused to admit defeat, and he didn't realize when Nan Lifeng left in the middle of the night. When he kept running the mantra for the tenth time, he couldn't stand it and crooked his neck, so he fell asleep on the bed......
