Chapter 45: Meditation and Enlightenment

The five of them looked at Dugu Yangming, who suddenly came to his senses, and asked together, "What?"

Dugu Yangming smiled "hehe", shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "I just have a bold assumption, don't say it." In short, it is right to listen to the senior brothers, and try not to go any way in the future. ”

Back in Buzhou Mountain, the fear of the six people was eliminated early. Taking advantage of this commemorative day, the celebration of the six people can be regarded as extremely complete and satisfying.

In the next three months, no one left their cave mansion for half a step, and all of them practiced diligently, participated in the Dharma and enlightenment, and further improved their cultivation.

In other words, since Dugu Yangming was on Wuze Island, after getting a glimpse of the mystery of the first "word" of the secret method, his cultivation did not advance but retreated, and his heart was like a burn, burning his eyebrows. As far as his cultivation was concerned, the only breakthrough was still in the yellow book of the Impossible Secret Method.

After three days of repeated scrutiny, verification, and cultivation, I determined my next cultivation goal, which was the second "word". Compared with the first "character", this second "character" is very simple, composed of five twisted strokes. According to the inference of the lines, it should be the most critical step for the spirit to enter the body, and to stay a little, which can be freely driven by the mind and spiritual consciousness, so as to follow the path to the source

Dugu Yangming came to the Tao from the meridians of the first "word": the final result of the first "word" is to pass through the Yin Hall, Jizhong, and Dantian, so that the spiritual power is integrated with each other. The two spiritual stream canals that are like clear streams born in the body, although they are like nothing, but every time they go through a point of cultivation, this spiritual stream canal begins to be thicker. Corresponding to it is the Divine Ruler and the Ruyi Bead, and its spiritual power has also increased by one point.

If the first "word" is so effective, then according to the shape of the second "word", it should be the dantian jade mansion that will be divided into two, so that it can be interconnected. Although this kind of cultivation secret method is incredible, judging from the fact that his own path does not advance but retreats, it should be the current cultivation, although it is full of spiritual power in the dantian jade mansion opened up by himself, it is probably an illusion contained in some books.

At this time, another problem that Dugu Yangming faced when cultivating was the absorption of spiritual power. Ever since he first glimpsed the path of qi refining, the spiritual power contained in a spirit crystal could no longer support his daily cultivation. In addition, the four times every day require spiritual cultivation, and the cost of spiritual crystals is even more amazing.

However, if you want to use the spirit crystal bead to cultivate, it is not important whether you can sense the spiritual power in the crystal bead, what matters is whether the current forging situation can support the powerful spiritual power in the crystal bead. This is also the reason why cultivators have very obvious physical characteristics at each stage. When cultivating, it is necessary to absorb the supernatural power that condenses the essence of heaven and earth, and without the corresponding strong flesh as the medium, there is no such thing as cultivation.

After a serious and cautious decision, Dugu Yangming took out an amethyst bead, watched the purple veins in the bead flow, the spiritual power wandered, and the light glowed in the dark night, and said in his heart: "Anyway, this precious amethyst bead, I am reluctant to buy things, it is better to use it for cultivation." ”

When he arrived, he was already ready, sincerely hugged one, and began to cultivate.

Hold your hands together, left up and right down, palms close to the crystal beads. The formula is the guide, the consciousness is moving, the spirit is free to feel, and the pulse is born. A faint purple light gradually appeared between the palms, and two pure spiritual powers entered the body from the meridians of the left and right arms, to the middle of the body.

At this point, the mind is quiet and empty, and the form and spirit are one. The palms became horizontal and vertical, stretched out to both sides, and the crystal beads naturally fell, replaced by the driven Ruyi beads and the Zhushen ruler. The three treasures slowly rise, the beads are left and right, close to the palms of both palms. First, according to the mystery of the first "word", the body and the things it touches are integrated. Then, according to the shape of the second "word", it begins to drive away the spiritual power.

The spiritual power passed through the middle of the body and the seal hall, and everything was as usual. When passing through the two dantian jade mansions, according to the guidance of the lines of the second "word", they began to collide violently, and the whole body began to tremble. In the jade mansion opened by himself, the spirit beads trembled violently, and in the jade mansion opened up by mysterious things, a wisp of spiritual arrow seemed to be born on the "golden pill", and it rushed to the location of the jade mansion.

With bursts of pain, blood oozed from the corners of Dugu Yangming's mouth. Half an hour later, the spiritual arrows emitted from the jade mansion opened up by the mysterious thing violently pierced the barrier of the mansion and quickly melted into the jade mansion opened up by itself. The two jade mansions in the same dantian are finally interconnected. When the momentum of the spirit arrow gradually weakened, the spirit channel from the middle of the body to the dantian was formed again, but it was too weak. So far, two or three spiritual channels have been formed in the body.

At the same time, because the spiritual arrow turned into the jade mansion opened up by himself, many small spiritual power dewdrops were formed, so that the excess spiritual power that Dugu Yangming incorporated into his body had nowhere to go. If you want to forcibly fill the Jade Mansion, it will only cause the Jade Mansion to be damaged and the cultivation will be lost.

Just as this spiritual power was wandering and rushing, a clear feeling suddenly appeared at the spiritual platform, and a more powerful thought was born, injecting this remaining spiritual power into the body. This spiritual power is like the water of Jingyue Lake, which only pours into the lower dantian, and is contained by the spiritual canal born of the "golden pill" in the dantian. Suddenly, the three spiritual channels were evenly balanced, the body slowly rose an inch high, the meridians were smooth, and a wisp of purple smoke was born.

Dugu Yangming roared in his heart, and his body, which was almost weakened by the impact of powerful spiritual power, could no longer support it, and his body slowly lay flat on the ground.

When I woke up, it was noon. After getting up to make tea, he sat on the stone chair in a daze, and said, "Right now, I can't drive the spiritual power that exists in the three 'Golden Pills' at all, and there is no sign of any possible drive. If I can drive it, I don't know what kind of realm of cultivation it will be. ”

He also pondered: "This cultivation secret method, the comprehension of the first 'word', I have spent nearly four years, but the second 'word' is so easy. Could it be that these 81 'characters', in the order of precedence and order, will also be divided into the big and small calamities mentioned in the book? It seems that I still have to go to the library to find relevant books, and maybe I can solve many problems that I don't understand. ”

Since breaking through the second "word", Dugu Yangming has successfully broken through the second-order Dao method and the third-order Dao method he has cultivated in just twenty days, and he has cultivated to the first level at the first glance. At this time, his confidence began to soar, and the urge to go down the mountain to experience it surged again.

However, on the premise that no one provokes him, Dugu Yangming is probably a very quiet person. Even after a breakthrough in cultivation, he still kept his heart and practiced quietly for more than two months. Further strengthen the existing foundation of practice.

From ancient times to the present, where there are people, there are comparisons. In the same session, the sixteen people led by Gong Yingyi, Fu Ziang and others had already cultivated the second-order Dao method to the second level, and they were in the limelight when the sect cleaned up Wuze Island. Their performance created a momentum for the elders of the sect to accept their own disciples a year later. Some of the elders who are anxious can't wait. At the same time, Dugu Yangming's original most dazzling contribution to the limelight has gradually been suppressed by them and is being forgotten by people.

This is the innate gap between people. Ordinary and humble disciples, no matter how hard they work and how much they have to contribute, they often can't withstand the impact of that undercurrent. It seems to be a matter of practice that they are often easily replaced by people with innate advantages.

In fact, Dugu Yangming's cultivation progress in the Ning Yuan Realm has begun to lag behind the sixteen people who are most valued by the sect, but it is also an indisputable fact. Fortunately, in terms of cultivation, he is a casual person, and he also shows that he is at ease with what happens, and never competes with others. Therefore, he would not use the tedious and difficult cultivation of the Dao method he had chosen as an excuse.

In terms of cultivation, the role of spiritual materials and spiritual pills cannot be overemphasized. Correspondingly, there are also spiritual weapons. If you start cultivating, you can cultivate with the Dharma weapon that you are capable of, and the income from your cultivation and your entry into the realm are another realm.

In this regard, Dugu Yangming's achievements are indeed beyond ordinary people. However, compared with Gong Yingyi and others, it is also an obvious shortcoming. The magic weapons carried by the children of these families or families are all treasures that have been passed down for thousands or even more than 10,000 years in the family. The spiritual power is abundant, not to mention the power, and the driving of magic weapons has long been understood by the predecessors and sages. The younger generations only need to practice according to the law, and the trivial things that are saved during this period are self-evident for the Terran monks who only strive for the day to cultivate.

In the blink of an eye, in the busy cultivation, three months flew by. Countless young people have spent their time on cultivating the true realm, all of them longing for the supreme realm of the Heavenly Dao.

At the end of the day, Dugu Yangming was reading a book in the cave when he suddenly heard a quick knock on the door. When he opened the door to look, it was Ju Zhengqi and others who came to find him together.

Dugu Yangming asked: "If you don't cultivate well, do you come to disturb me again? If you are bored and idle, I will not accompany you!"

Lu Qiu Leyu smiled and said: "Naturally, I have something to find you! Don't grind, let's discuss and discuss." As he spoke, he first squeezed into the cave and sat on the stone chair with a big grin.

Several people entered one after another, Huang Shi looked at a delicate bamboo chair, "oops", and said loudly: "Good guy, Senior Brother Yangming has added new furniture!"

Dugu Yangming said angrily: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go." It's okay, it's better to focus on cultivation, don't mess around here and waste your time. ”

Ling Hu Xu was just smiling and making tea for everyone, and Lu Qiu Leyu watched everyone sit still, and then the mystery came one by one.

It turns out that in the territory of Yuezhou in the quicksand world, there is an ancient barren mountain, which is called Qiyu Mountain by later generations. This ancient mountain range, full of spiritual energy, is shrouded in thick dense fog all year round. The various spiritual materials generated in the mountain are collectively called "discrete materials" by the four associations, and they are one of the most valuable sources of all spiritual materials of the same grade. For this reason, countless monks would rather venture to it, but found some cultivation materials and treasures.

The trend of this mountain range is from due north to southwest, and the terrain is obliquely inserted, vertical and horizontal, like a dragon lying in the southeast of the main boundary of Hongmeng. The deeper you go into the mountains, the more powerful demon beasts will appear, which will be daunting and intimidating. So far, it has been explored by people, but it is only a hundred feet away. Within this hundred zhang, there are still demon beasts rampant, and danger is coming at any time.

Recently, it has been rumored that there is a vision in this mountain range, and it is likely that there is a treasure that resonates with heaven and earth, and will appear in the world. This kind of treasure that can resonate with heaven and earth, no matter how many dangers lie ahead, cannot stop the monks' enthusiasm for treasure hunting. If you can find it, it will be the fulfillment of the immortal fate that the monk always yearns for. How can this kind of temptation not make people's hearts warm.

Dugu Yangming listened to Lu Qiu's words, and thought: "If there is really such a thing, it must have alarmed all forces, including the Zhenwu Palace." This mountain range is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is too dangerous to rush to find it. Thinking of this, he said: "This kind of rumor is not to be believed. If you want to go, you go, I won't go, I want to cultivate hard and reach the primordial realm as soon as possible. ”

When the five of them heard this, they laughed, and Shangguan Canghai said with a straight face: "You are not ashamed! Since the era of the human race, there have not been many monks in the Guiyuan Realm, and the number of monks in the Supreme Realm has not reached a slap in the face, so you dare to say that you have cultivated to the Taichu Realm of the Immortal Body." Tsk!"

Ling Hu Xu said solemnly: "Second brother, actually, now our cultivation has reached the accumulation stage, not the realm obstacle stage. It is also good to take advantage of this opportunity to go down the mountain and practice. Besides, a few of us don't have as many spiritual material reserves as you. ”

Huang Shi gave a thumbs up and said, "Senior Brother Xu Zheng is right! Among the six of us, Senior Brother Fat and Senior Brother Canghai are refining formations, Senior Brother Ju has chosen to domesticate spirit beasts, and Senior Brother Xu Zheng is refining weapons. All of them are lacking in spiritual materials and are difficult to sustain. If you really want to exchange spiritual materials for spiritual crystals, and then exchange them for spiritual materials, it will be too much of a loss. It is far less realistic than traveling and exploring by oneself and directly obtaining the corresponding cultivation spiritual materials. ”

Dugu Yangming looked at the expressions of these people and asked in a deep voice, "You have already decided to go?"

The five nodded in unison without hesitation.

Dugu Yangming sighed and said, "It's okay to go, but you have to prepare well as I said." When you're ready, we'll go down the mountain. ”

The five of them said in unison: "Good!"
