In the cabin in the middle of the ship, Ye Xing sat down, shielded his facial features, and gently adjusted his body and breath. Due to his poor mood, he was unable to enter the state for a long time.
After Ye Xing adjusted his body and breath for an hour, he finally reached a state of tranquility and began to practice the method of leaving the body with true energy.
It's very strange. In the past, a trace of spiritual consciousness could only leave the body for ten feet, and all the spiritual consciousness could only leave the body for twenty or thirty feet. Now, when 90% of the spiritual consciousness and all the true energy are combined, it can actually leave the body for hundreds of feet.
But after a while, Ye Xing realized that something was wrong, and his head felt slightly dizzy. It turned out that doing this would consume his true energy.
I thought that true energy is an eternal existence, but now I know that this is not the case. True energy will also be consumed, but it is much less compared to the consumption of internal energy.
Infuriating energy is extremely difficult to replenish, it is the essence of one's own body.
Ye Xing tried again to put 90% of his spiritual consciousness and the zhenqi light group into the space ring, and unexpectedly found that doing so did not consume the zhenqi, and the faint zhenqi seemed to be nourished.
When I think about it, I immediately understand that the space ring contains all five elements and is extremely dense in spiritual energy. It can nourish both spiritual consciousness and true energy. Although it cannot be enhanced, it can be repaired. This space ring is really super precious. baby.
As a result, only one-tenth of the spiritual consciousness and internal power were left in Ye Xing's body. The rest of the true energy, spiritual consciousness, and internal power all entered the Phoenix Space Ring, and he became just an innate master.
Repeatedly practicing, trying, practicing again, and testing again, because the derivation was extremely successful, there was no obstacle, just repeated practice. After three hours, Ye Xing had completely mastered these skills, and could use them. His true energy, spiritual consciousness, and inner strength are hidden in the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet.
In just three hours, Ye Xing came out. He had turned himself into a pure innate master, and became a first-level innate master. Only 10% of the internal energy was left in the Dantian, and 90% of the internal energy was dispersed throughout the body. acupuncture points.
Seeing that it was already afternoon, Ye Xing and Qin Xinyue got off the boat and went to the city to find delicious food.
The two changed their clothes from yesterday. The key was to change the road. Every time they found a snack place, Qin Xinyue would buy two portions. If it was convenient, she would buy more for her sister.
There is a holiday every ten days in the Song Dynasty. There are no classes in the colleges and no official offices. Today is not a holiday. Of course, the students have gone to study. The streets are immediately missing most of the people. The scene of everyone reciting poems is gone. The city seemed immediately deserted.
Of course, now you can quietly appreciate the unique inner cultural atmosphere of this famous city.
There are two kinds of buildings in Pingyuan City. First, there are many pavilions. There is a pavilion not far away. Each pavilion has stone tables and chairs for people to relax and study. Second, there are many academies, and there are many academies on each street. , generally there are many students, and the students come from all over the Song Dynasty, and there are also many from other countries.
The colleges in Pingyuan City also charge fees. Some of the famous colleges are very expensive, but of course there are also cheap ones, and some even charge very low fees.
The college here does not provide accommodation, so it has spawned many industries that serve students. Various services such as renting houses, laundry, publishing books, pen making, paper making, sending letters, running errands, etc. are particularly developed.
The famous cultural city has a lot of cultural products. The two of them went in and out of many bookstores and bought some high-end paper and pens. Ye Xing also bought some books, mostly recreational works, but also a few medical books.
Qin Xinyue bought a lot of folk legends, romance novels and the like, and asked Ye Xing to put the space ring in while no one was watching.
In the evening, Qin Xinyue was also tired from walking. She just walked into a very small inner alley. The two of them passed by a small academy. It was very remote and small. Qin Xinyue wanted to get closer and take a look. The reason for the academy is that there is a couplet at the door. On it are the words "Gui Zang" carved in stone. Then there is nothing left. Neither of them knows what it means.
The two hesitated at the door for a while, but no one came out, and finally decided to knock on the door.
After a long time, an old man came out. He couldn't tell his age, he must be quite old, but his steps were still light. He asked, "What do you two want?"
Ye Xing pointed to the stone carving and asked, "Old sir, what do these two words mean? We are people walking by and don't understand, so we want to ask for advice."
The old man nodded, opened the door, and allowed the two of them to enter. There were two small rooms inside, one with the door open, only a young man reading inside, and the other with the door closed.
The old man asked the two of them to sit down at the wooden table in the courtyard and poured tea for them. The tea set was very ancient and the tea was very fragrant.
The old man said, "My surname is Yi, and I am the dean of Guizang Academy. This is also my home!"
Ye Xing said, "My surname is Ye, and this person's surname is Qin. He came to Pingyuan to study. I was passing by here and was very curious about these two words, so I took the liberty to ask for advice."
The old man smiled faintly and said, "In a few days, someone will come in and ask because of these two words. Indeed, there are too few people who know these two words now."
He paused and continued, "I also relied on these two words to recruit students."
Qin Xinyue said, "Mr. Yi, please explain to us the origin of these two words. We are also here to learn."
Yi Lao nodded, added more tea to the two of them, and then said, "Guizang is actually the name of an extremely ancient scripture. It may be tens of thousands of years old, or it may be an ancient book older than that. It is no longer circulated now, but It should have been a very famous book in ancient times."
The two listened quietly, and Yi Lao continued, "My ancestors dozens of generations ago were lucky enough to read a fragment of this book, so they copied it. Later, fearing that it would be lost, they carved it on a piece of stone and it has been passed down to this day. Today, only a small half of the stone carvings remain, and the text is no longer decipherable. What I am passing on now is the Guitang Sutra written by the ancestors of previous generations based on oral transmission through the generations."
Yi Lao looked at the two of them and said, "If you two are willing to learn, I can also teach it to you. By the time my generation has no descendants, I don't want to let them disappear from the world. But this requires extremely high comprehension ability." , you may not be able to learn it, and my understanding may not be correct. Everything depends on your own conditions and fate.”
Qin Xinyue asked with interest, "Yi Lao, what does the Guizang Sutra mean and what is its use?"
Yi Lao smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what the use is! It's just that the words have beautiful rhythm and the words are all about ancient things. I only know the pronunciation but not the original meaning. What you heard that young man reciting is the scripture rewritten by my ancestor. arts."
Ye Xing and Qin Xinyue looked at each other, both feeling a little bit cheated, thinking that the old man was selling fake goods, but they still listened quietly to the young man's chanting for a while. It was indeed very beautiful, and the rhythm was very strange. , just don’t understand its meaning.
Qin Xinyue said, "Mr. Yi, I don't understand why that young man came to study the scriptures."
Yi Lao said, "This young man's father is an official in Pingyuan City. He came here to study scriptures when he was young. He felt that after reciting the Guizang Sutra, he felt at ease. When he studied other things, he would become enlightened easily. Later he learned It’s done.”
"Last year, I sent my son to learn this sutra, and this young man has been learning to recite this sutra for a year. Now his health has improved and he is quieter. It can be said that he has completely changed his appearance. He has changed from a naughty boy to a very calm one. ”
With such effectiveness, after listening to the young man chanting quietly for a while, Ye Xing and Qin Xinyue looked at each other, both feeling a strange rhythm, but they didn't know how to describe it.
Yi Lao added, "In fact, there are many people who can benefit from it, but it is not understanding, but intangible benefits. Everyone who comes here to study this sutra will gain more or less, but everyone's The benefits are different.”
Qin Xinyue asked curiously, "Yi Lao, didn't you say that everyone has different benefits when they understand it differently? Since it is completely incomprehensible, why can there be different benefits?"
Yi Lao hesitated for a while and then said, "Maybe it's because of the chanting itself!"
Ye Xing was distracted as he listened to the young man's chanting. His heart suddenly moved and he asked, "Lao Yi, how much tuition will we pay for coming here to study scriptures?"
Yi Lao said, "One hundred taels of silver per person until you learn to recite sutras, no time limit."
Qin Xinyue tugged on Ye Xing's clothes to show that she didn't want to learn. Ye Xing had already taken out three hundred taels of silver and handed it to Mr. Yi, saying, "There are three of us, and we will start learning chanting tomorrow."
Seeing that Ye Xing had said this, Qin Xinyue stopped talking, but still frowned her beautiful eyebrows.
Yi Lao nodded, went into the room and took out a roster, asking them to write down their names. Ye Xing looked through it and found that there were dozens of names in just a few pages.
Ye Xing wrote on the roster, Donghai County, Ye Ming, Qin Xin, Qin Jing.
After setting a time to come to study tomorrow morning, the two said goodbye to Yi Lao and left.
