229 100 Days to Build the Foundation (I)
Spiritual cultivation is very wonderful, very mysterious, and unpredictable.
In ancient times, people talked more about the soul, but now they talk about the spirit. In the Taixuan Sutra, the cultivation of the spirit is actually the cultivation of the soul. It's just that the soul is something that can't be seen or touched, how can we cultivate?
Bai Xiaosheng feels that this is a kind of passive cultivation, and the process of human growth is a kind of spiritual enhancement, and all kinds of learning cannot be excluded. For those of them who practice martial arts, martial arts practice is also a kind of spiritual cultivation, and the experience of heaven and earth and the unity of nature is a manifestation of the spirit.
The cultivation in the Taixuan Sutra gives a certain division, which is a pure touch of the spirit. It's just that if you look at it carefully, it's too broad. In Bai Xiaosheng's words, the Taixuan Sutra is a means of exercising the spirit, not a detailed method of cultivation.
In the Taixuan Sutra, the first step in spiritual training is concentration! Mental concentration, so that concentration leads to full concentration! It is expressed in one word -- self-forgetfulness!
I believe everyone has felt this way, but how to enter, but it is difficult to say, the method given by the Taixuan Sutra is to invest in martial arts and knowledge. Don't they all say that men who work hard are the most handsome? It's the same thing.
Sitting in the belly of the mountain, Bai Xiaosheng's body flashed and disappeared in place. He appeared in the system space, sitting under the big bluestone. Looking up at Qingshi, Bai Xiaosheng said softly: "System, image the memory in my mind." The bluestone flickered, like a screen, slowly pulling his memory, forming one picture after another.
These pictures are Bai Xiaosheng's past!
He uses the method of looking at his past to devote himself to it.
In the space, Bai Xiaosheng slowly activated his memory as the picture played, and a simple picture evoked a lot of his memories and stimulated his spirit.
Unconsciously, he reclined on the ground and changed into a comfortable position.
To be honest, this method is very effective, just like an old man recalls his childhood, especially when the old man sees a similar experience, it is easier to recall, that is, when he is concentrated.
Bai Xiaosheng thought of this method, so he used the memory function of the system to help him concentrate and activate his spirit.
In this state, Bai Xiaosheng's brain is extremely active, and his spirit is completely restrained and concentrated, although his eyes are looking at the bluestone, it is more just a glance at the picture, and then he concentrates on the memory in his mind, recalling the past.
He went on like this for half a day. Maybe it was the excessive concentration of his mind that made him very tired, and he unconsciously woke up in the middle of the day. He rubbed his eyes and found that they were moist, which were tears.
I don't know when he actually shed tears.
With a wry smile, Bai Xiaosheng turned around the system, walked out of the mountain, and returned to Tianchi. The sky had not yet dawned, but standing high, Bai Xiaosheng also saw a faint light.
It turned out that unconsciously, he had lasted for half the night!
"There was no feeling of exhaustion...... The body seems to be very relaxed...... "Feeling his state, Bai Xiaosheng feels amazing."
For ordinary people, if you concentrate on doing something for half a day, you will definitely be very tired. Bai Xiaosheng is different, his body is not tired, and the fatigue is purely spiritual, so he is not tired.
The body is not tired, but the spirit is not?
To be honest, Bai Xiaosheng's spirit is definitely very strong, and the concentration that lasts for half a day may not be able to be done by ordinary people, but for Bai Xiaosheng, it really doesn't seem like a big event, just like his previous practice, let alone last for half a day, it lasts for two or three days. Not only is he not tired, but his mental activity brings him a kind of exhilaration, which acts on the soothing body and makes him even more energetic.
Looking at the snowy peaks illuminated by the sun, Bai Xiaosheng's body flew vertically, and he jumped on a mountain peak three times in a row. With a wave of his hand, the sword chanted clearly, and the Qinglian sword flew into his hand, dancing with the wind. The snowflakes piled up on the ground were blown up, and the cold wind between heaven and earth whined. The sword bloomed with immeasurable brilliance in his hand, and the sword intent that reached the sky stirred the wind and clouds, as if it had the power of heaven and earth changing color.
The long sword crossed the sky, melting the snow peak with a touch of sunlight, and the cold sword blade had a touch of warmth at some point, making people feel proud.
The sun completely exposed its head, and Bai Xiaosheng's sword also entered the scabbard with a clatter. At his feet, the snow lost its track, and there was a piece of even black earth with a radius of dozens of meters. In the distance, a huge blade stretched away, as if there was no end in sight.
"Haha......" Bai Xiaosheng laughed loudly, the laughter was happy and comfortable, he stood on a high place, his mind was also open, and the whole person was like the rising sun, warm and incomprehensible.
Walking back to the Tianchi, Bai Xiaosheng threw down two long worms, which he caught when he walked back. When Yang Kang saw it, he immediately cramped and peeled the skin, and barbecued the worms. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng with envy on his face. Not only is the mountain far from here, but with Yang Kang's gaze, it is less than Bai Xiaosheng's sword. But he saw a ray of sunshine, competing with the sun beyond the mountain.
He knew that it was caused by Bai Xiaosheng's martial arts. How could he not envy such martial arts?
After eating breakfast, Yang Kang couldn't help but say, "Senior, I, can I cultivate new things?"
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him and said, "If you want to, let Yang Tiexin teach you." His surname is Yang, and you are also surnamed Yang, and he learned his Yang family gun, which is just right. His words are very meaningful, Yang Kang understands, but Yang Tiexin doesn't understand.
He snorted angrily and said, "My Yang family's robbery is an ancestral skill, how can it ...... How can you ......" He didn't say anything, but he also understood that he couldn't teach Yang Kang as an outsider.
This made Yang Kang very angry, it is precisely because the Yang family gun is an ancestral skill that you should teach me even more.
Bai Xiaosheng didn't care about Yang Tiexin's words, and said: "Back then, the Yang family generals didn't stop others from learning their Yang family guns, and they also specially taught them to the sergeants, which won a great reputation. Why is it in your hands that there is such a rule? Yang boy, you teach him what I taught you, and let him teach you the Yang family gun. Leaving this sentence, Bai Xiaosheng turned around and left.
He did not enter the Tianchi Ice Cave, but walked around to soothe his body and mind. After practicing all night, although you are not tired, you should also relax. The combination of work and rest is the right way!
Here, Yang Kang also has a bullish temper, and he really wants to learn new kung fu, he doesn't look at the Yang family gun, but Yang Tiexin's words make him angry and make him angry.
This Yang family gun, Lao Tzu has also learned!
Under the threat of Yang Kang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Yang Tiexin agreed to teach him the Yang family gun, perhaps because of guilt in his heart, Yang Kang pulled Yang Tiexin hard and let him learn the basic internal skills of Bai Xiaosheng's teaching.
In terms of foundation, Yang Tiexin is stronger than Yang Kang, although he is old and his qi and blood are weak, but after so many days of nourishment, it is not a problem to practice internal strength.
One of them is happy to practice, and the other is also serious about learning, and wants to pass it on to future generations. What about Bai Xiaosheng? No wonder there are many strange people hidden in Changbai Mountain, this is really a big treasure house! He just walked around the surrounding peaks twice, and found a lot of medicinal materials, some of which are very old, and a snow ginseng he picked is three or four hundred years old.
It was almost noon, Bai Xiaosheng walked back, and Yang Kang over there also began to prepare food, he called a pheasant from nowhere, Bai Xiaosheng was even more excessive, and actually dragged a black bear over.
Looking at this nearly two-meter-old black bear, Yang Kang really didn't know what to say. They can't eat such a big animal, but it's good to change the taste.
In the afternoon, Bai Xiaosheng entered the Tianchi Ice Cave and continued to concentrate on spiritual cultivation in the system, while Yang Kang and Yang Tiexin were also practicing their newly learned things outside.
In the evening, Bai Xiaosheng came out, and the three of them began to eat dinner again, still the breast.
In the evening, Bai Xiaosheng went to practice again. This time, he lasted longer than last night. After cultivating three times, Bai Xiaosheng also found that the time for his mental concentration was slowly increasing.
He felt that if he concentrated to the limit, he would definitely feel tired, which is the so-called mental fatigue. And after three times of cultivation, he didn't feel tired, which showed that his spirit was far from reaching the limit, and it also showed that he couldn't fully use his spiritual power.
Driven by this thought, Bai Xiaosheng worked harder, Yang Kang also worked harder, only Yang Tiexin, who had a lot of free time after cultivation, stopped all the cooking on his body.
Half a month later, the three of them left Tianchi, and Bai Xiaosheng took Yang Kang and Yang Tiexin out unhurriedly. Five days ago, he entered the ice cave and practiced as usual. But this time, he practiced for three days and three nights, completely immersed in the spiritual world. This is a span of his cultivation, the previous time, he only lasted for a day, but this time, he directly maintained it for three days and nights, which made Bai Xiaosheng, who had come awake, feel incredible.
What made him even happier was that he felt tired. When he woke up, the mental fatigue made him feel very weird.
With the feeling of tiredness, it means that he has touched the limit of his spirit, and it means that he has completed the cultivation of the first step of the Taixuan Sutra, how can he not be happy?
As soon as he was happy, he agreed to Yang Kang's request, took the two of them out, and left this white-headed Tianchi.
The three of them stopped and went, and Bai Xiaosheng didn't concentrate anymore, but studied the Taixuan Sutra to prepare for the next step. The second step of Taixuanjing's spiritual cultivation is spiritual relaxation.
This kind of relaxation is a kind of antecedent for entering the state of emptiness, which is very mysterious. It is not the same as the relaxation of the flesh. The physical relaxation is enough for you to lie down on the bed, but the relaxation of the mind requires you to enter a hazy state.
In Taoist parlance, it can only be understood but not spoken!
For nearly a month, he has been researching and trying to enter this realm, but he has never succeeded, either falling asleep or waking up suddenly, which makes him very helpless.
However, Yang Kang's kid has made great progress, especially the Yang family gun, which has already played a good role.
