Chapter 8: Sermons

In the paper mill, many outer disciples were discussing Liu Yi.

Liu Yi silently walked into the door of the paper mill, listened to the words of the people around him, and remembered these people who had ridiculed and insulted him.

Although Liu Yi has an extraordinary identity and is a disciple of Tang Shouzao, his cultivation is only at the fourth level of qi cultivation, and he is by no means the opponent of these outer disciples.

The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs.

It is precisely because of Liu Yi's low cultivation that these people dare to speak so disrespectfully.

However, Liu Yi is by no means a pustule of insults, he wants to keep these sarcastic faces of today in his heart, and wait for them to be reciprocated one by one in the future.

There was a female disciple with outstanding appearance and temperament, wearing a white dress, holding a little white rabbit in her arms, but she did not ridicule Liu Yi, but just silently looked at her from a distance.

This woman was almost the only one who didn't ridicule him.

Liu Yi secretly remembered the woman's appearance in his heart.

There are many courtyards in the square, and a tall building is built on the central square.

A bronze ancient bell hangs on the roof of the building.

Buzz.

The bell rang three times, and the hour had come.

Many outer disciples scattered in twos and threes, and went their own way.

"Liu Yi, you come with me. ”

Zhuang Dunshen appeared behind Liu Yi out of nowhere, and when Liu Yi turned around, Zhuang Dunshen had already put his finger on Liu Yi's wrist and was taking his pulse. "Your qualifications are not bad, but if you want to make rune paper, you still don't have enough qualifications. Come with me and hear me preach......"

The place where the sermon was preached was the attic in the middle of the paper mill.

The two came to the roof and sat down facing each other.

A large bronze bell, more than two meters high, hangs above the heads of two people. Many runes, densely packed, like tadpoles, are carved on the bronze bell.

Liu Yi raised his head and kept looking at the big bell.

"Since you're looking at this bronze bell, let's start with this big bell. Zhuang Dunshen smiled and pointed to the big bell above his head.

Liu Yi retracted his gaze and thought: "It turns out that this bell is called Tingfeng, and this name is also a bit scholarly and elegant. ”

Zhuang Dunshen said: "This bell is my Zhuang Dunshen's magic weapon, because it is too heavy and too big, and there is no function of changing the size, I hung him in the paper mill, specially used to ring the bell to tell the time." The bronze bell seems to be mighty, weighing more than 2,000 catties, but in fact it is useless, heavy and inflexible, except for being used to smash people, there is not much other use. ”

Liu Yi comprehended and replied: "It turns out that this bell is like a red lacquered toilet, which has no appearance. No matter how beautifully the toilet is made, it is actually still a toilet, except for being used to and pee, there is no other wonderful use. ”

"Yes, you kid does have some understanding. ”

Zhuang Dunshen nodded, quite approvingly, "We cultivators are the most taboo about flashy and unrealistic, and the most taboo about being ambitious. Cultivation must rely on one step at a time, moving forward steadily, and not being sloppy. Therefore, in my Yuxi faction, everyone has to start from the outer disciples, first carrying water and chopping wood, and then learning to make rune paper, grinding cinnabar, preparing a hundred medicines, feeding a hundred beasts, refining lead and mercury, and exercising copper and iron...... After learning all this, you will be able to depict talismans, refine elixirs, refine magic weapons, and cultivate spirit beasts, and only then will you be able to learn the method of flying to the heavens and the earth, and cultivate the power of prolonging life. ”

Liu Yi bowed his hand and said, "The disciple has been taught." ”

"I'm half a generation lower than your master, you can just call me uncle. ”

Zhuang Dunshen said again: "Today, I will talk to you about how to cultivate after the fourth layer of Qi cultivation. ”

The four layers of qi nourishment can give birth to true qi in the body.

When the true qi in the body is full and the true qi is running in the meridians, there is a slight whistling sound, and you will reach the fifth level of qi cultivation.

In the human body, there are twelve canons, plus eight sutras.

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth layers of qi cultivation each need to open up three canons. When cultivating to the ninth level of qi cultivation, it is necessary to open up the eight strange scriptures.

The tenth layer of Dzogchen should penetrate the meridians of the whole body, and the true qi should flow unimpeded.

After the tenth layer of qi cultivation, it is the qi refining realm.

This Qi Refining Realm also has a ten-layer realm.

If you want to call for wind and rain and soar through the clouds, you must break through the Qi Refining Realm and reach the Divine Soul Realm.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a tall building starts from the flat ground.

Qi cultivation and refining are the foundation of the sky.

The Qi Refining Realm emphasizes refining the true qi of one body, turning it into the true element, containing the five qi, and running through the three flowers. It contains five qi, which refers to the five internal organs, which breeds the breath of the five elements, so that you can cast the five elements of small spells to make wind, fire, thunder and lightning. As for the three flowers, the three flowers are talking about essence, qi and spirit, which are the three treasures of people, and all three are indispensable.

"There are three treasures in the sky for the sun, moon and stars, the earth has three treasures for water, fire and wind, and people have three treasures for gods, qi and essence......"

Zhuang Dunshen shook his head and said a lot, regardless of whether Liu Yi understood it or not, and then took out a volume of "Papermaking Jingyi" from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi took the "Papermaking Sutra" and asked: "Uncle Zhuang, is the essence in the essence, qi, and god the essence in our man's body? In this way, can't we marry a wife and can't get close to women?"

"Oh?"

Zhuang Dunshen raised his eyebrows, "So, you like women very much?"

"I don't like it very much. ”

Liu Yi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Chromophobia, if I say I don't like it, I guess you won't believe it, uncle." ”

"You are only fourteen or fifteen years old, and you are a hairy boy, and you are also worried about women? You can't teach you! You should read this "Papermaking Sutra" carefully, and after lunch, you will go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo, and come back according to the method in the scriptures, and start making paper for me!"

Zhuang Dunshen seemed to be angry with Liu Yi and walked away.

There are only three or four pages of "The Papermaking Sutra", Liu Yi read it several times, and memorized the papermaking steps recorded in it, and it was almost lunchtime.

At noon, the paper mill has a half-hour break.

Liu Yi ate in the cafeteria and went back to his room to practice once, this time he deliberately didn't put the feather on his body, and the cultivation speed really became the same as usual.

On the twelfth day of the exercise, Liu Yi hid the feather close to his body, and thought: "Wait until the evening, I will put the feather on my body again, if the cultivation speed becomes tripled, then the reason for the change in my cultivation speed must be because of this feather...... When I reach the Divine Soul Realm, I will be able to learn spells and practice the methods of cultivators!"

Leaving Kunzi Courtyard and receiving a firewood knife in the paper mill, Liu Yi came to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo.

The bamboo is a moso bamboo, only the size of a middle finger, and glows with a bluish purple color.

Boom!

Liu Yi slashed down, and the firewood knife came back from a shock, almost injuring himself.

Looking at the bamboo again, it was only cut out of a shallow trace.

"It's fucking hard!"

Liu Yi sighed in his heart, ran his true qi into his hand, and slashed at the bamboo with a clenched firewood knife, only to cut a little deeper.

It took hundreds of slashes in a row to cut off the bamboo.

By dusk, Liu Yi had cut five bamboos, but more than a dozen blood blisters had been ground out on his hands.

It's just that it's getting late, and Liu Yi has to go down the mountain.

"Oh, isn't this our Senior Brother Liu?"

This person's name is Fan Jian, and he is also an outer disciple who works in the paper mill, and when Liu Yi came to the paper mill in the morning, he was the most vicious in his face.

Now seeing Liu Yi coming back with five bamboos, Fan Jian walked over again and sneered.

"Senior Brother Liu, you cut a lot of bamboo!"

"Senior Brother Liu, you can be regarded as breaking the record of our paper mill, it is simply unprecedented and unprecedented, and there is no one who will come after, and you will miss the world for a long time......"

Fan Jian was like a green-headed fly, constantly harassing Liu Yi.

"Get out!"

Liu Yi was annoyed, and when he saw Zhuang Dunshen standing under the bell tower from a distance, he turned around sharply and spit on Fan Jian's face.

"Wow, wow!"

Fan Jian pulled his sleeve and wiped his face, and rushed towards Liu Yi, "You are too fat, you dare to spit on Lao Tzu's face, today it is your Senior Brother Liu who made the first move, and I will be disabled later, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of my classmates." ”

Many outer disciples stood aside, just waiting to see the excitement.

The female disciple who was holding the white rabbit in her arms before also stood in the crowd.

"Fan Jian!"

Zhuang Dunshen floated over and snorted coldly.

Fan Jian's face was full of anger, and he pointed at Liu Yi, "He did it first!"

"The gentleman doesn't move his hands!"

Liu Yi was polite and said to Zhuang Dunshen, "Uncle Shi, I am a gentleman. ”

At this moment, the white-clothed female disciple also walked out, her expression was as cold as an ice lotus, and her eyes swept over Zhuang Dunshen, "Senior Uncle Zhuang, it was Fan Jian who provoked Liu Yi first. ”

"Lu Ningshuang's words and nephews, I can naturally trust them!"

Zhuang Dunshen nodded.
