Chapter 31: The Realization of the State of Mind
Since there was no hope of breaking free, in desperation, Chen Xiaoben had to give up the plan to break free and concentrate on resisting the cold air that kept pouring into his body from the pool water.
I don't know how many years of cold air has accumulated in this mountain, how can it be seen casually, at the beginning he was still able to swim with ease, after a long time, the more he felt that this pool of water was cold to the bone, and it was endless, not a place where a person of his strength could stay for a long time.
But his body couldn't help but be at this time, the old man didn't know what he was fishing, and he wouldn't take the bait for a while, and the old man was very patient, just waiting for the thing to take the bait.
It's only bitter for him, and I don't know how long I will stay in this bone-chilling pool. If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid you will really freeze to death in the pool.
He carefully recalled the content recorded in the "Taishang Wuji Mysterious Sutra", but unfortunately although it was all-encompassing, there was no lack of exercises and mental methods to deal with the situation at this time, but unfortunately there was no need to cultivate as a foundation. No matter how many changes you have, but if you can't keep up with your cultivation, you won't be able to escape this doom after all.
On the contrary, it was the "Golden Light Mantra" that he had cultivated before, which might be able to slightly prolong the time for him to survive under the pool.
"Golden Light Mantra" is the supreme method of Xuanmen refining and protecting the body, and the cultivation is very simple, as long as you sincerely recite the mantra, you can practice and prolong your life. And its real effect can form a layer of protective golden light on the outside, blocking the damage of the outside world.
Chen Xiaobei has been cultivating this supernatural power since he got the "Taishang Wuji Mysterious True Sutra", and he has never stopped, but it has only been nearly a month now, and the power is not much stronger.
Although this mantra was quite powerful when he first cultivated, for such a long time, he only increased his power after he absorbed the pure spirit qi that time, and the rest of the time he progressed slowly like a snail.
This made him guess that the power of this talisman golden light completely depended on his own cultivation, and the higher his cultivation, the higher the power. Fortunately, it was precisely because of this that he had a trace of self-preservation power in this pool of water with his current cultivation.
However, he said that Chen Xiaobei was single-minded, reciting the golden light mantra to protect himself on the outside, and running the true qi on the inside to drive away the cold.
He was bent on getting through the difficulties, and his whole body and mind were completely immersed in it, and before he knew it, his body and mind fell into a state of unaware external objects, just like a muddy nightmare, but there was a trace of spiritual awareness, so that he would not die in a coma in a daze.
In such a state, Chen Xiaobei suddenly realized that his mind seemed to be shrouded in a hazy aura.
Heartbreaking!
Chen Xiaobei's heart shook violently, and he suddenly woke up from this mysterious state, I don't know when it started, he was completely in a state of heart and mind shrouded in his body and mind, but he didn't realize it.
A chill poured out of his body, and Chen Xiaobei instantly recalled the introduction of the heart shatter that he had seen in the "Taishang Wuji Mystery Sutra".
"The heart is evil, because of the heart, because of the evil, gathering the changes of the virtual and the real, or like the waves of the river, or like the scorching flame, which can not only rise by the wind, but also lurk minions. ”
The meaning of this passage is that the heart evil arises because of the fluctuation of the heart, and because of the external evil qi and really reveals its form, it may turn into a form like a river or a flame-like form, and it can change in a myriad of ways, which can not only be clearly manifested on the outside and affect people's behavior, but also can be latent in people's hearts and minds, and subtly change people's minds.
The evil qi lurking in his heart is thought to have arisen because he practiced his magical powers again not long ago, but this time it seems to be hidden in his heart, secretly affecting his behavior.
But now that he has noticed the heart, he has had the experience of expelling the heart, and the time to exorcise it again is to be caught.
In the final analysis, the most terrifying thing about the heart is that it is silently generated, unconsciously affecting people's behavior. As long as you are aware of it, there is nothing to fear.
However, it is not easy for the mind to be confused by evil qi to be self-aware, and if he hadn't accidentally fallen into that mysterious state this time, I am afraid that he would not have been able to detect it until he died.
At the moment, Chen Xiaobei didn't care about the cold qi invading his body, and visualized Taishang Laojun in his mind to suppress the heart evil, and then slowly introduced the evil qi into the sword of the present and the past, and finally completely cleared the heart evil in the body.
However, this is only to temporarily curb the influence of the heart evil, as long as there will be a heart in his heart, as long as there is still unresolved evil qi in his body, the heart evil will continue to be generated.
The most fundamental way, of course, is to no longer accept evil qi to cultivate supernatural powers and improve cultivation, without evil qi, there is naturally no way to give birth to evil spirits. However, after trying this method of rapidly increasing his strength, he could no longer endure the days of polishing his true qi little by little.
During this time, he felt a sense of urgency all the time, the threat from Zhou Haotian, and the gradual approach from the high school entrance examination, which forced him to keep running forward. With a little rest, he could be in a situation from which he could never recover.
Under such a compulsion, how can he maintain a normal heart, and how can he calmly face the various dangers that are about to come like a tide?
He can only seize any method or opportunity to quickly improve himself and grow up until he has the ability to gain a firm foothold in this turbulent current!
Compared to other dangerous methods, this method is already considered to be much safer, at least he knows the way to resolve his heart, and there is no sequelae of rapid improvement after that.
In fact, there is another way to avoid mental evil, and that is to improve the state of mind. If you can't think about it, you will naturally be distraught!
Mood, the "Taishang Wuji Mystery Sutra" he practiced places great emphasis on the state of mind, saying that the state of mind is the foundation of cultivation, and only the state of mind that matches the cultivation can calmly control one's true qi and quickly improve one's own cultivation.
And the education he received since he was a child was that unless there were some bottlenecks, as long as he had a sufficient supply of spirit stones, his cultivation would be as fast as riding a boat with the wind. What is the state of mind? Does it have anything to do with cultivation?
In the past, although his cultivation was trembling, he did not dare to be the slightest bit different from what was described in the book, but in fact, it came from the influence of his education since childhood, so that his understanding of the Gu Immortal Law was not profound, which was equivalent to "painting a scoop according to the gourd".
In particular, he equated his understanding of the state of mind with the mood, taking it for granted that it was just an addition by the ancients in order to educate the world.
Now, he finally got a glimpse of the meaning of the state of mind from the influence of this mental evil, and from then on, he finally entered the door in the cultivation of the state of mind, and he would be handy in cultivating in the future.
Just when he was planning to cultivate his state of mind in the future, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be slowly shaking with the pool water. He didn't care much at first, but it was the ordinary fluctuation of the pool, and suddenly he thought that the deep pool in the mountains was like an ancient well without waves, and if there were fluctuations, it must be an underwater creature swimming.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei was shocked, and looked around, only to see that in the depths of the waterhole, in a dark place, there was indeed a huge black shadow approaching, could it be said that it was something that the old way was waiting for?
