Xiao Qing is really a good person. I used to think he was a bit handsome and cool, but more of a bit cold. I didn't expect that this guy who is usually silent can actually care about people.
When he woke up the next morning after moving, Chen Fan had breakfast at home, feeling like he was at home in Suzhou. Buying a house is just an episode, cultivation must continue.
The Scripture Collection Pavilion was a bit lively today. When Master Jia brought Chen Fan to the Scripture Collection Pavilion, he happened to run into Palace Master Xu and Xiao Qing.
"Master Xu, are you here to teach your apprentice today?" Master Jia took the initiative to greet him.
"The main thing is to test how he has learned in the past two days. What about you?" Palace Master Xu asked.
"I plan to explain Tongming to Daoxuan. I probably won't have time after school starts. Daoxuan happened to be reading the Tongming book these two days. I thought about it and told him about this situation."
"Well, it's okay to understand it, but when it comes to cultivation, it's still important to practice Qi to perfection first. After all, true energy is the foundation." Palace Master Xu kindly reminded Master Jia and Chen Fan.
"What Palace Master Xu said is absolutely true. I just want to let Daoxuan understand it first. I think Daoxuan is not good at fighting with others. I guess he will be lacking in swordsmanship and Taoism. The only way is to let him cultivate his true essence and calm his mind. Put more effort into your soul." In Master Jia's eyes, Chen Fan is smooth and quick-thinking, but he is not good at fighting with others.
"That's not necessarily the case. I think Daoxuan's poems contain the idea of advancement. If you really take action, you will be stronger than most people." This is not his apprentice, so it doesn't matter if he praises him. It's good to say it's right, it's better to say it's wrong. Anyway, the pressure belongs to others. At that moment, Palace Master Xu praised Chen Fan without hesitation.
"I hope so. Let's teach first and see later." Master Jia didn't refute much. He cupped his hands, and he and Palace Master Xu each brought their apprentices into the room.
Although Chen Fan already knew the meaning of transparency, he still listened carefully to Master's explanation. There are always differences. What puzzles Chen Fan is that the master said that practicing enlightenment requires a large amount of true energy to open the acupoints, but Chen Fan feels that the acupoints are there and can be practiced directly without spending any true energy. In addition, it is reflected in the order of cultivation. , the master emphasized the need to practice in order to prevent the backlash of the skills. The insight given by "Chengying" is that the order can be reversed. Chen Fan didn't dwell on the similarities and differences in his mind. In Chen Fan's opinion, it was correct to follow "Cheng Ying's" perception, and the techniques may vary from person to person.
As a master, in addition to preaching and teaching, you also naturally have to answer questions. It is probably a habit that masters have with their disciples after teaching. After Master Jia finished explaining Tongming, he looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Does Daoxuan still have any doubts?"
Opportunities are rare, so if you don’t understand something, you should naturally ask.
"Master, when do you usually start practicing transparency?"
"You have to wait until you have mastered qi training. Generally, those with good talent can start practicing in about ten years. There are also some very rare geniuses, or those with great opportunities, such as Yuantong, who can practice in less than a year."
Chen Fan decided not to mention that he had cultivated enlightenment in the future, and continued to ask: "Master, you said before that when collecting the five qi, the two qi of water and fire must be balanced. How do you distinguish between the two qi of water and fire?"
"This requires visualization. If you look inside your lower Dantian, you can find that the true energy has colors. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to the five colors of gold, green, white, red, and black respectively. You need to try to keep the white and red colors equal in the body. "
"Master, does the spiritual power in the air also have color?" Chen Fan could now sense the presence of unusual substances in the air, and suspected that it was spiritual power, so he asked.
"It is colorful. If it is inside your body, you can discover it through visualization; if it is in the air, you will have to wait until you reach the middle stage of your fugue to see it with your spiritual consciousness."
"Can I sense the spiritual power in the air during the quiet stage?" Chen Fan was a little curious about what the abnormal substance in the air he sensed was. Although he suspected it was spiritual power, he still asked.
"Those with particularly sensitive spiritual senses will be able to detect abnormalities in the air, but to specifically capture spiritual power, one still has to rely on spiritual consciousness."
"Thank you, Master." Chen Fan saluted Master.
"Okay, Daoxuan, that's it for today. You can practice on your own. If you don't understand something, ask your teacher." Seeing that Daoxuan didn't ask any more questions, Master Jia stood up and ended today's teaching.
"Yes, Master." Chen Fan stood up and sent Master out of the room. It was time for lunch. He walked to the door of the room where Master Xu and Xiao Qing entered. The door was not closed, and only Xiao Qing was left inside.
"Let's go eat." Chen Fan greeted.
Xiao Qing looked up and saw Chen Fan, smiled and said, "Okay. By the way, Daoxuan, how are you doing with your practice?" Xiao Qing, who had never talked much, actually asked Chen Fan about the progress of his practice today.
Chen Fan was unwilling to deceive Xiao Qing. Chen Fan was even more unwilling to tell Xiao Qing the truth. After all, he didn't even report the matter of practicing enlightenment to his master. If this spread, how could he still do it?
At that moment, Chen Fan thought about his words and said: "It's okay. Master just explained the second volume of Transparency and asked me to practice it after I have achieved great success in Qi training. It's just that it's too difficult to achieve great Qi training. Fortunately, I don't have to do it either." Hurry, wait until you have memorized the previous volume, and then concentrate on cultivating the true energy. Now, how is your progress?" Chen Fan told the truth, but he was vague and did not directly answer where he had practiced, and then changed the subject.
"I have entered Shouyi and am ready to start practicing Qi collection this afternoon."
"Then your progress is also very fast. The most difficult thing is to enter the quiet Shouyi. The entry time varies from person to person. After the Shouyi, it usually takes one or two days to enter Qi collection. When it comes to practicing Qi, Yuantong you It is much faster than ordinary people. Others will be stuck in the qi training period, but you can quickly practice qi. Oh, do you want me to envy you? No wonder you are concerned about my progress today." Chen Fan wanted to prevent it. Xiao Qing continued to ask about his progress, so he had to make fun of Xiao Qing first.
"not me……"
"What am I? You don't want to show off in front of me, do you?" Chen Fan decisively interrupted Xiao Qing's words and continued to joke.
"No." Xiao Qing stared at Chen Fan and said seriously.
"I know, you are not that kind of person. I was just joking with you." Chen Fan stopped playing games. It would be bad if the joke went too far.
"Yesterday I saw you practicing in the pavilion and called you. You didn't respond, so I called Master Huang. Master Huang said that you have entered a state of enlightenment and people must not disturb you. I asked Master today , Master said that when you are in this state, it should be because you have an epiphany, and you are obsessed with thinking about the problem, and ignore the things around you. Also, this state will also appear when you practice visualization in the future, and you need to prevent being attacked by others, because if you are at this time, Without protection, it is very dangerous.”
"Yuan Tong, thank you, I will be careful in the future."
"You're welcome. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me and I can help you."
"Okay, I've written it down."
In the afternoon, Chen Fan borrowed the third volume to read the "Wandering of the Gods". The "Wandering of the Gods" is divided into three stages: channeling the spirit, channeling spirits, and realizing reality.
Tongshen is to store the gods in the five internal organs of the human body, allowing the true energy to be charged into the liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, and spleen respectively, forming a god shaped like Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn, which will automatically sense the soul of the human body. To communicate with the gods.
Channeling involves cultivating the Dantian, which is located between the eyebrows, which is different from the position of the brain used in the practice of transparency. It allows the brilliance to condense within a square inch, which means that people's induction can be condensed, and then it can be released like silk. Sensing the spiritual power of the outside world is called channeling.
To come true, the most mysterious thing is to cultivate the Yuanshen. When the essence, Qi and spirit of the human body are condensed, the human soul will be sublimated and become the Yuanshen.
As night fell, Chen Fan and Xiao Qing met Hou Feng at the door of the road as usual, and returned home together. The family was complete, including their eldest brother who had left early in the morning.
Chen Fan was overjoyed and immediately asked his eldest brother, "Eldest brother is back. Did you see anyone at the Nanfeng Pavilion today?"
"I saw Yuying, but not Yajun. According to Yuying, Yajun has something to do and has left Gusu. It is not clear when he will come back. He is not from Nanfeng Pavilion in the first place and can come and go freely. . In addition, I have told Yuying your address here. When Yajun comes back, he will come to visit with Yajun. By the way, he also thanked you for the song "East Passing Water" that you gave him, which is very popular with guests. ."
"That's because Yuying sang well. Is he okay?" Chen Fan was slightly disappointed with Yajun's departure.
"He's pretty good. I plan to go back to Hudu tomorrow. When do you plan to leave? I'll pick you up then."
"Brother, if it's convenient, come and pick us up on the 25th. We'll go back to Hudu on the 26th, and we'll go back to Gusu on the 28th. I've asked, the 29th of the Taoist Temple is for new disciples to report, when they arrive Xiao Qing and I are also going to participate." Chen Fan quickly calculated in his mind that today is the 21st. It will take two days to copy the fugue. He will reserve two days to visit Liang Xiu and Dean Lu and set off on the 26th. Just in time.
"Have you asked the eldest brother to travel back and forth between Gusu and Hudu during this period? Is your time schedule too tight? Why don't you go back with the eldest brother today and come back earlier." The eldest brother started with Chen Fan. He made a joke and then made a suggestion, which saved the big brother a round trip.
Copying scriptures must be done in one go; visiting Liang Xiu and Dean Lu is definitely necessary, especially if there are things to ask for help from these two later.
"Brother, these two days are very crucial for Xiao Qing. He will start practicing Qi soon. Palace Master Xu will definitely not let him leave now. I estimate that on the 25th, he will succeed in practicing Qi. Where will he go then? His master Everyone would agree with a smile." With a ready-made shield, he naturally had to use it, and he immediately pushed out Xiao Qing's reason for practicing without hesitation.
"Xiao Qing is going to practice Qi so soon? There is no time to delay." The eldest brother was a little surprised at how fast Xiao Qing practiced.
"It's just that we have just collected Qi. We are not sure yet when we will practice Qi." Xiao Qing carried forward his usual modest and cautious style. At the same time, he glanced at Chen Fan. I don't know if he was expressing his gratitude to Chen Fan or something else.
