XVIII. Loss

After returning from Wudang, we have gained a lot. I, in particular, also got a Neidan by chance.

Since then, I have been practicing more diligently, and I basically spend my free time in the exercise (there are relatively few taboos in the primary exercises, and I can practice them at any time).

With the addition of Nedan, my skills have also shown a steady improvement. The two most obvious aspects are that concentration and perception of spirits have become stronger.

In terms of concentration, I used to watch a horror movie and jump out of a ghost or zombie, and when I was driving, I would be nervous and break out in a cold sweat. But during that time, no matter what kind of thing jumped out, I was very calm.

Speaking of perception, I could only sense spirits that were aggressive towards me. For example, Chang Mei Niang in the Northeast. But after cultivating, I can basically feel the primary spirit body within a radius of five meters, and if the other party's ability is not very strong, I can still see a rough outline.

Another interesting application of this perception is to determine whether an object has actually been illuminated. When I touch something that has been lit up, I can feel the spiritual pressure on it. It is even possible to judge the strength of the ability of the person who has opened the light based on the strength of the spiritual pressure.

One night, Xiao Ji and I were talking, and I suddenly felt a burst of spiritual pressure, but this spiritual pressure was not aggressive, on the contrary, it was more comfortable, and there was a feeling of fresh breeze on my face. I looked in the direction of the senses. It was found that near the ceiling of the bedroom, there was a long black shadow spinning in circles. It is said to be a long strip, but in fact, it is more like a long black scarf, which is being danced by.

But the black scarf is not surrounded by strips of cloth, but something that resembles black smoke. This thing was spinning around irregularly near the ceiling of our bedroom.

Xiao Ji was gossiping interesting things about their unit to me, and found that I suddenly didn't react, staring straight at the ceiling, so he asked with concern, "You have a nosebleed?"

"What, do you see there's something up there?"

"Yes!"

"What do you see?"

"Chandelier, round, why are you like a newcomer!"

I was afraid of scaring her, so I didn't talk to her in detail. But the thing kept spinning on it for about 10 minutes before it suddenly disappeared. Aside from being hypnotic, it didn't seem to have any effect on us, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Who knows, two days later, the "scarf spirit" came again, still spinning around on the roof of the bedroom, still feeling not aggressive. But I don't know how long it took the second turn, because I fell asleep watching it. It's hypnotic!

The next morning, I called Master and told him about it. Master said, "That's a guy with good cultivation. ”

"So what is he that has changed? Scarves can also be turned into essence?" I was more curious.

"Don't talk nonsense, I feel like it's a personal soul, but it's cultivated, and I should have a good impression of you. If he comes back next time, you can take him in!"

"Accept it, is Master going to give me the magic weapon again?"

"I don't have the money to buy it! It's not that kind of collection, it's just to invite him to cultivate with you and become your friend of the Xuan Netherworld. I'll show you how to invite him into your necklace pendant. "Master passed on a simple mantra to me.

However, the embarrassing thing is, I don't know if it's because I called him "scarf essence", he got angry. He hasn't been here since.

After another period of time, one time, I took An An to the early education class, the teacher was taking the children to play games, so I walked around the classroom alone, the early education class classroom was very large, full of all kinds of toys.

As I walked, I suddenly felt a hint of spiritual pressure. Looking in the direction of the spiritual pressure, I vaguely saw a series of small footprints, walking towards me. When I saw it, it was a boy, naked, with a bare ass, and quite cute. It's so pitiful to die at such a young age.

I didn't know what to think at the time, but I actually remembered what the master said last time that I could invite them, and said to the little ghost nonsensically: "If you want, you can come with me~". Unexpectedly, it was this casual sentence that made this little ghost really become part of the later story. And, played a major role in the most horrific Lady in Red incident I've experienced so far!

After another period of time, the company's affairs suddenly became busy, and I had a small meeting every day. Sometimes I work overtime until the wee hours of the morning before I can go home. In addition, An An is still young, and there are more things at home, which are more miscellaneous. During that time, I basically didn't practice.

This went on for about two months.

One day, two months later, I worked overtime until 2 a.m. before I got home. After a brief wash, I fell asleep.

It didn't take long for me to enter a state of nightmare.

I felt like I was in a small two-story building. On the second floor of the building there is a bedroom, which is very simply furnished, just a bed and two bedside tables. I sat on the bed and meditated.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flew through the window. The shadow pounced on me and I couldn't move in no time.

I thought to myself at the time, I'm a person with Neidan, and I've been practicing the exercises for so long, I'm still afraid of you?

So I immediately recited the Golden Light Spell and tried to fight the Black Shadow.

However, as soon as I confronted me, I realized that I couldn't even pronounce the second sentence of the Golden Light Divine Mantra, and the whole person seemed to be immobilized. I can't move, I can't shout. I recited all the incantations I could think of in my head, but to no avail. That dark shadow condemned me to death......

At that moment, I was really about to collapse, I even wanted to beg for mercy, I wanted to shout for help, but I couldn't even shout a word......

Gradually, the dark shadow completely enveloped me, and I felt helplessly as it corroded me. I felt the energy in my body being sucked in by him little by little, and gradually, I lost consciousness and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt like I was falling apart. Remembering the perilous experience of the night before, I have palpitations. I tried to use the luck power, and found that the remaining power was less than one achievement, and that Dan no longer belonged to me......

Master said, "Neidan."

Neidan is the point where the body's yang energy gathers, and it generally appears in a circular state.

At the same time, Neidan also has the function of warning, and generally when encountering special aura or special fluctuations, Neidan will have an obvious reaction.

Moreover, the yang energy of the cultivator and the shape of the inner pill are complementary to each other. That is, the more vigorous the cultivator's yang energy, the greater the inner dan.

Nedan is not a physical object, it is a virtual body, and when you don't pay attention to it, it doesn't feel anything, but when you need it, it will echo with people's consciousness.

The most important thing is that the biggest taboo in cultivating Neidan is to "look at the appearance", blindly visualizing Neidan will only allow you to enter the demon path. In cultivation, it is important to avoid the view that "what you see is true", because what you visualize is very likely to be an illusion, and if you pursue it one by one, you will go crazy and become mentally ill.

Therefore, in the practice of Neidan, we should pay attention to discerning what is true and what is like. The easiest way to do this is to go with the flow!

Remember, whether it is Neidan or skill, it needs to be obtained through one's own efforts, and you can't pursue the giving of the outside world, if you don't strengthen your self-cultivation, you just hope for some adventures, which is a manifestation of demonization in itself. Over time, you can become mentally ill!
