Shangguan Shiliu left anyway. The next morning, she reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Xiaolu and Wujia, and then left Wuxin Temple with her father.
Frankly speaking, Lin Xiaolu actually never liked her very much.
But in fact, she is different from Aning. In some aspects, she is the person whose personality is closest to Xiaolu. Her sudden departure at this moment makes Xiaolu feel that life has begun to become deserted.
They were quarreling and bickering together yesterday, but today, she left just like that, so quickly that there was no time for anyone to react.
It was... quite sudden.
Perhaps he didn't know when he started, but he had already become accustomed to life with Shangguan Shiliu.
About a month later, Wu Gu and Liu Yuniang finally set off for Tianzhu.
Before leaving, Wugou reluctantly pulled Lin Xiaolu and talked for a long time.
Faced with the farewell of his last friend, Lin Xiaolu, no matter how big-hearted he was, could not hold back. Finally, he hugged the young monk whom he had known for more than two years tightly in front of the temple, and then watched him leave.
At this point, the only people left in Wuxin Temple were Zen Master Wuxin, Handsome Duck, and Xiaolu himself.
…
…
"Boss, you have almost finished practicing the Essence Method, and now there is only the last step left - no self, no form, ninety-nine returns to one.
As long as this step is taken, the Yi Jin Jing will be thoroughly practiced to the great perfection, which is unprecedented and unprecedented. "
At the dinner table, Lin Xiaolu was eating vegetarian food while listening to Handsome Duck talk. After listening, he asked with some anticipation: "After taking this step, what will happen to my body?"
"It's hard to say yet."
Shuai Shuaiya shook his head and said: "Because no one has practiced the Yi Jin Jing to this step. At that time, Bodhidharma also passed the previous practice and then extrapolated the Yi Jin Jing to this step. But what will happen after this step? Changes are unknown.”
Lin Xiaolu nodded when he heard this, preparing to start the last step of practice in the early hours of tonight.
Zen Master Wuxin on the side also smiled and said: "Donor Xiaolu, according to the last step of the practice of the Yi Jin Jing, according to Donor Duck, you need to mobilize your own true energy to move against the heavens, travel through the meridians of the whole body, and pass through fifty-two single points. Three hundred and nine double points, and fifty extra-meridian odd points.
There are nine days in total. During this period, the little deer donor will enter a state of neither waking up nor sleeping, neither death nor life, neither real nor false.
After all, such a statement is just a theory. No one in the world has actually practiced to this point, so it is very dangerous. At any time, the poor monk will always be by your side to protect the Dharma. "
Lin Xiaolu was overjoyed when he heard this. He laughed and fisted Wu Xin: "Thank you, Zen Master."
At the dinner table, Lin Xiaolu quickly took the rice into his mouth.
In the Dzogchen state of Yi Jin Jing, there is no self or form, and all ninety-nine are unified. In the next nine days, I will not be able to move, let alone eat, so I need to eat more now, otherwise I will starve myself in the middle of practicing. If you die, that would be very sad.
In the afternoon after eating, Lin Xiaolu was doing various stretching exercises. He wanted to adjust his body to the best condition before dawn.
Soon, night finally came. After eating enough rice, stretching his muscles and bones, drinking enough water, he went to the hut. Then he, Zen Master Wu Xin and Shuai Shuai Ya waited for the early morning on the grass in front of the temple.
This practice must be done in the open air, with nothing above your head blocking the moonlight and sunlight.
Zen Master Wu Xin set up a Buddhist formation around the little deer, and then lit a gold ingot candle to observe the little deer's condition.
In the end, he was still worried, so he silently took out the most powerful magic weapon - an unknown relic.
There was no way, no warrior had ever practiced the last level of the Yi Jin Jing, so he couldn't help but be careless.
Time passed little by little, and finally before early morning, Lin Xiaolu walked into the formation arranged by the rosary beads, sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees in a heart-shaped gesture, and then closed his eyes.
The handsome duck next to him held the bamboo slips, looked up at the moonless sky, and then said:
"Boss, the time has come."
The young man who closed his eyes suddenly mobilized the true energy in his Dantian, moving upwards from his abdomen, slowly passing through the internal organs, and then began to run retrogradely through the meridians throughout his body.
This process was very slow. The meridians, acupoints, and organs were felt inch by inch. It took a full hour for the complete reversal to end. Then Lin Xiaolu consciously mobilized this true energy and moved it along the Tianling to the back of his neck. Go up to the back, then turn to the divine court, rush to the stars, and enter Baihui.
After the true energy reversed course through the muscles, veins, organs, and acupuncture points of his body and entered Baihui, Lin Xiaolu suddenly felt five thunders hitting his head, his head went "Boom!", and he immediately lost consciousness.
Next to him, Zen Master Wuxin, who had been holding the relic, couldn't see it, but he was surprised to feel that Lin Xiaolu, who was sitting cross-legged, was smoking!
A plume of green smoke actually rose from the Baihui point on his head.
"Duck donor, this is deer donor?"
"Master Wuxin, don't worry, this is a normal phenomenon." Shuaishuaiya held the bamboo slip and said: "According to the scriptures, this last step of the essence method itself can be regarded as a kind of marrow cleansing.
It's just that this kind of marrow cleansing is the last step of thorough cleaning. The boss is now in a retrograde state of true energy, and the yin and yang are in chaos. He uses his own true energy to perform retrograde cleansing, and then emerges from Baihui with the pickled things.
Firstly, it is to wash one's body thoroughly, and secondly, it is to cleanse the true energy in the Dantian and expel the pickled matter in the true energy. "
Wu Xin was stunned when he heard this: "Is there something dirty in my own life energy?"
The handsome duck nodded: "Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, and qi naturally has its differences between turbid and clear."
"When the dirty things in the innate true energy are expelled, what will the innate true energy become?" Zen Master Wuxin continued to express his question.
Faced with this problem, even the handsome duck doesn't know.
It is not written in the Yi Jin Jing, and it is the first time it has seen this situation, so naturally it has no way of knowing.
After all, this is a theory that has never existed before.
At this moment, Lin Xiaolu was sitting cross-legged and motionless, his head kept smoking, while Zen Master Wu Xin and Shuai Shuai Ya kept watching beside him, for fear that something would go wrong with him during his practice.
Time passed bit by bit, and the dark night gradually began to become brighter. The sun rose, and the sunlight began to shine on the boy's body. But even in the sun, the gas coming out of the boy's head was still very obvious, and it continued continuously. .
Shuai Shuai Ya went to have breakfast by himself, leaving Zen Master Wu Xin alone to continue guarding.
For a long time after that, Zen Master Wuxin stayed by Lin Xiaolu's side, and it was not until three days later that Lin Xiaolu's head finally stopped spewing smoke.
The handsome duck laughed out loud after seeing it:
"It seems that the boss has practiced it correctly. It is exactly as what the scriptures say. Three days and three nights to cleanse the true energy of one's life."
Wuxin asked curiously: "Duck Donor, there are nine days in total, three of which are used to cleanse the life's true energy. What about the next six days?"
