Qian Chao tried his best to suppress the surging excitement in his heart. With a slightly trembling hand, he took out another feather from his sleeve and raised it gently above his head. Then he thought something silently in his heart and released his fingers. Due to the trembling of his fingers, The feathers slowly rotated and rolled, but no matter how they moved, they never fell to the ground.
"Senior brother once said that where the spiritual veins run, you can test it with the fish's eyes according to the light. If there is light in the fish's eyes, it is a spiritual vein. If there is no corresponding light, you can also test it with a feather. If the feather hangs without falling, it is considered to be a spiritual vein. pulse."
He silently recited the passage in Qian Shoulin's "Five Spirits Notes" about how to find spiritual veins in his mind.
It seems this is it.
However, to verify the authenticity, the stupidest and most practical method is needed.
After calming down his agitated mind, Qian Chao sat cross-legged on the soft grass, with the two feathers above his head. After sitting down according to the rules of meditation, he strictly guarded his mind and soon entered the holding Yuan Shouyi, and then Only then did I begin to experiment with exercising my mind according to the scriptures in the Jade Sea Scripture.
I don’t know how many times I have run the mental method Qian Chao from the "Jade Sea Sutra". Every time, my Dantian is as silent as a dry well. The slightest feeling is as disappointing as the crawling of weak ants. It has been going on for many days, and the physical exhaustion and mental anxiety after every practice have been tormenting me.
So this time he was truly terrified, fearing another failure.
Qian Chao, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly saw a flush on his face and his body was trembling slightly.
At first it felt like countless soft jade hands caressing his body all over, making him itchy and embarrassed, but then his Dantian, which was like a dry well, now surged and raged like a river embankment bursting during a flood. The breath was like a savage beast rushing through all the veins in his body.
Qian Chao was really happy and surprised.
I was happy at first because it seemed that I had finally found my spiritual vein. In the future, my practice would no longer be so difficult, and I had hope of entering the inner gate.
Later, he was shocked at how to control the aura in his body. He had never encountered such a situation before!
Soon Qian Chao discovered that even if he wanted to stop now, he couldn't.
He couldn't control that breath at all. It was like a group of frightened wild horses galloping on the grass. Over time, Qian Chao's meridians and organs would be shattered by the impact of this overbearing breath. However, Qian Chao's body was extremely stiff at this time, as if It was pinned down by countless big hands with malicious intentions, and it was tightly shackled, making it impossible to struggle free.
Qian Chao's abdomen was swollen like a drum at one moment, and his chest collapsed at the next. Not to mention his complexion, even the two hands folded together were bright red.
I'm afraid Qian Chao will bleed from his mouth and nose and die suddenly if this continues.
Qian Chao, who was in extreme panic, had no good plan, so he had no choice but to exercise the mental method of "Jade Sea Scripture" again and again in vain, in order to calm down the violent aura.
I don’t know how long it took, but Qian Chao began to sweat profusely. His dirty green robe, which had been running around for days, was soaked through by his sweat. His head and face were also washed with water, but at this time his complexion calmed down slightly. Somehow, his body seemed to have some suction, and the two feathers fell towards him, one on his head and one on his shoulder.
When Qian Chao began to meditate and practice Qigong, the cloud tablets of Chunxiang Hall in Gu Nei were knocked, and the disciples in Gu Nei went to eat one after another.
In the Chunxiang Hall, Tang Ping met Lu Pingchuan. She knew that Lu Pingchuan and Qian Chao lived close to each other, so she sat next to Lu Pingchuan. During the meal, she asked Lu Pingchuan if he knew where Qian Chao had gone. It's just that Lu Pingchuan really didn't know where Qian Chao was at this time, and Qian Chao had promised not to tell others about his trip to Xiaolianhua Lake, so he told Tang Ping that he didn't know, and Tang Ping had to give up. .
After lunch was over, all the disciples either went back to rest or found a place to study, or they were all playing and messing around in small groups. Tang Ping had no choice but to follow Yan Xuan.
The sun slowly moves towards the west after noon. As the mountain wind blows, the shadows of the trees on the ground become longer and longer, and the sky gradually darkens. When the sun becomes a dark sky in the west, At the red round hour, the cloud sign of Chunxiang Hall rang again, and the afternoon passed like this.
Tang Ping and Yanxuan were in the Chunxiang Hall. Not only did Qian Chao not see this time, but even Lu Pingchuan did not come to eat. Only the man named Li Jian came to eat on the way. Tang Ping noticed that as soon as Li Jian walked by , there were a few boys staring at Li Jian's back with hatred.
After dinner, the sun had completely set. The jewel-like stars on the dark blue sky began to brighten, and a bright full moon was slowly rising to the center of the sky.
No matter how hard you study, you still need to eat, Tang Ping thought in her heart, hoping that the boy would be okay, so she had no choice but to go back to her residence with Yanxuan.
I don’t know how long it took, but the full moon finally climbed to the center of the sky, and the soft and bright moonlight enveloped the entire Young Ming Valley.
It was probably at this time that Qian Chao opened his eyes.
"I finally got through it!" Qian Chao said secretly. The danger at the beginning when he was practicing in this spiritual vein made him still have lingering fears.
In fact, let alone Qian Chao, a child from a commoner in the world, even if a child from a big family has the opportunity to practice in this spiritual vein, there will definitely be an elder watching over him from the beginning, in order to help in an emergency. , to prevent children from being overwhelmed by the strong spiritual energy.
How could Qian Chao know this!
Being in a dangerous situation at that time, he also regretted it immensely. He secretly blamed himself for not being so impatient, even if it was not too late to ask that girl Tang Ping first before starting.
But in that situation, he really had nothing to do. He could only treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and use the "Jade Sea Scripture" as a life-saving straw to run it in his body over and over again. Finally, he didn't know how many times he ran the "Jade Sea Scripture". When reading "Hai Jing", the violent spiritual energy in the body began to become orderly, and began to move along the Qi meridians and apertures under the guidance of Qian Chao's thoughts.
However, the speed of this breath still shocked Qian Chao. It usually took only a week for this breath to circulate in his body for more than ten weeks.
Not only that, the feeling of numbness and pain in his Qi veins and limbs became stronger and stronger. However, at this time, the tide of money was like riding on the back of a crazy horse running wildly without saddle and pedals, and it could not stop at all. I didn't even dare to jump off, so I had to let it go. When this crazy horse gets tired, just stop there.
Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Qian Chao, who was already exhausted, accidentally discovered that he seemed to be able to control the powerful aura in his body. Only then did he start to try to slow down bit by bit, and it really worked. He also speeded up the aura to speed up again, and he was also able to control it completely.
Later, he stopped completely and could feel that the breath completely returned to his Dantian. When he ran the "Jade Sea Sutra" again, the breath began to circulate in his body again.
It was only then that he was convinced that he had truly narrowly passed this level.
Qian Chao leaned back and lay completely on the soft grass, savoring the strange feeling after his first practice.
At this time, for him, the full moon in the sky was as close as if he were face to face. The moonlight was different from the sunlight, and slowly splashed with a slight chill all over his body, giving him an indescribable feeling. of benefit. And those bright stars were shining quietly in front of him, making him more and more lazy after watching them for a long time.
There were dark mountains all around him. Qian Chao, who had been afraid of the dark since he was a child, had no fear in his heart at this time. As far as he could see, the trees in the mountains and the nearby grass were still the same color as in the daytime. The mountain breeze is caressing, the branches and leaves are whirling in the night, and there are countless grass and insects singing among the trees and grass.
Qian Chao tried to use his consciousness to find the singing grass insects, and found them quickly, one, two... many. He looked at them quietly. They were either on the ground or on the ground. The wings vibrated slightly on the grass tips and made a wonderful sound.
He really wanted to sleep here comfortably for a night. These days of running around every day made him exhausted. However, after the practice, he discovered that his robe was actually damp. At first, he didn't notice it, just thinking it was wet from the night dew. But now he smelled a fishy smell similar to sheep felt, and raised it over his arm. He smelled his sleeves in front of him, and sure enough it was his own smell. He scratched his face with his fingers, and found that his face was slippery and sticky.
It seemed that something must have happened when he was concentrating on meditation, but he had no impression at all. After all, Qian Chao was a person who liked to be clean, so he slowly got up from the grass and walked down the mountain, always wanting to return to his own Give your place a good wash and change into some clothes.
When going down the mountain, Qian Chao kept thinking about the idea that he had in his mind before. As he approached his residence, he heard the thunderous snoring coming from Lu Pingchuan's room in the distance. He couldn't help but smile. He found his spiritual veins and there was hope for his cultivation. Then Brother Lu was really a good candidate.
After returning to the room, he endured his sleepiness, pinched his nose and washed himself thoroughly, and then climbed into bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when Qian Chao got up, it was already bright outside. The Yun Pai breakfast in the valley could not wake him up, but the fatigue of these days seemed to be gone. After changing his robes, Qian Chao opened the door and took a look at the sky. It was estimated that the cloud sign for lunch would ring soon. He was feeling hungry at this time, so he planned to go to the spiritual pulse place after lunch. Practice everywhere.
When he walked to Lu Pingchuan's room, Qian Chao took a look and found that Lu Pingchuan had already disappeared. He didn't know where he was. Qian Chao secretly thought that he would spend more effort on Brother Lu next.
During lunch, Tang Ping was surprised to see Qian Chao, so she and Yanxuan sat at the food table next to him. When she was about to talk to Qian Chao, Tang Ping found that Qian Chao was a little different from the past. His figure and appearance had not changed at all. However, Tang Ping found that this boy Qian's look and temperament had changed a lot, but she wanted to say What exactly had changed, she couldn't tell.
"Hello!"
"Um?"
"What are you doing these days?"
"What else can I do? Of course it's practice."
"So...how is your practice going?"
"It's hard at the beginning. Now, I'm just getting started."
Hearing Qian Chao talk about getting started, Tang Ping's heart moved. She looked Qian Chao up and down and asked, "Have you really started?"
"It's almost the same. We need to verify it again." Qian Chao said.
Tang Ping nodded, hoping that this boy Qian was not lying, but looking at his expression, it seemed that he had just recently solved a big problem in cultivation.
After lunch, Qian Chao was called to Tang Ping again outside Chunxiang Hall, and the two chatted for a few more words before they separated.
After Qian Chao and Tang Ping separated, he still walked towards the spiritual vein he found yesterday, but he didn't notice that there were several boys slowly following behind him. But coincidentally, after he passed by Li Jian's residence, Li Jian also walked out of the room, closed the door and walked along the path in the valley to the place where he often practices practice.
The boys who were following Qian Chao were so timid when they saw Li Jian in front of them that they didn't dare to follow them. I heard that a few days ago, Li Jian fought against eight people by himself and beat those eight until he was still unable to move. Who dares to provoke! He could only hang far behind. When Li Jian turned along the road and headed up a hill, he saw that the boy Qian Chao was nowhere to be seen, so he could not help but turn back bitterly.
Along the mountain road, Qian Chao came to this huge stone again. He had also looked for this huge stone at the entrance of Chunxiang Hall. He didn't expect to see it there, but it was very inconspicuous in the mountains and forests. Along the way, he was still thinking about whether he could see a pillar of green smoke. It must be Lu Pingchuan grilling prey in the mountains and forests again. If he could find Lu Pingchuan, he would have to give him some persuasion and let him practice well, not every day. Wandering around in the mountains and forests, it was a pity that Lu Pingchuan was nowhere to be found along the way.
Today's practice is much smoother than yesterday. With yesterday's lessons, Qian Chao has been careful since the beginning of practicing the "Jade Sea Sutra" mental method. However, he went straight to the good point without any surprises. It was also because of his greed. After practicing for a few more days, I walked for a few more days. When I opened my eyes after practicing, I found that the full moon, which was slightly missing than last night, was already hanging high in the sky. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that I had missed it again. After dinner, I had to go to bed hungry.
However, despite this, he still enjoyed the feeling of being able to hear and see clearly after practicing. Looking up at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The cold moonlight was shining down. In the dark blue sky, there seemed to be a vague white line stretching out in the air, surrounding him. The chirping of grass and insects was familiar yesterday, but it sounds even more pleasant today.
I touched my robe with my hand and found it to be dry and clean. I sniffed it carefully with my nose and found that there was no fishy smell from yesterday. I was relieved. You need to rest early today and don't miss breakfast tomorrow. Well, go back and see if Brother Lu is there, and talk to him while he's still asleep.
Thinking of this, Qian Chao stood up from the grass, thinking that it would be better to bring a futon tomorrow, so he slowly walked down the mountain road.
After walking for a while, Qian Chao's sense of intelligence had still not dissipated. Because of this, after he heard something from a distance, he flashed in the dark shadow of a big tree.
"We sisters come here just so that we are not like the elders in the family. Why do you want us to do such a thing in this valley." A woman's voice came, and you could hear that the voice was full of shame and anger.
"I don't have to ask you to do this, but this is my condition. You don't have to do it, but if you want something from me, you can only do it. Otherwise, let's not talk about it." A man's voice came.
The woman's voice said: "Mr. Qin, it was not like this at first. We had agreed, how could you change your mind?"
"It was indeed agreed at the beginning, but the things are mine. What can you do if I change my mind? Although I changed my mind, the thing I gave you changed from one to two. Don't say you are not tempted."
"Hmph! That's fine, but you must give me the things before you do anything."
"No, I can only give it to you after the matter is completed. Don't forget, it may not be easy for me to deal with him, but I don't have so many worries about dealing with you."
After not hearing the voice for a while, Qian Chao turned out from behind the tree. He looked towards the place where the two people were talking and saw two figures walking back into the valley from a distance.
He had never heard the woman's voice, and he didn't know who it was, but he could tell the man's voice as soon as he heard it. It was Qin Suijie who had instructed Liang Bake to cause trouble for him on the way here, not to mention the man's voice. The woman also said the word Mr. Qin.
Who are they planning to harm? Who can make Mr. Qin worry about finding a woman to serve as an internal agent?
First of all, he can be sure that it is definitely not him. If the woman's voice was that of Tang Ping or Yan Xuan, maybe Qian Chao would think of him, but Qian Chao had never heard the woman's voice before, and it was very strange. Besides, Tang Ping seemed to have a big feud with Mr. Qin, and it was impossible for him to conspire with Qin Suijie to deal with him. Besides, if he really wanted to deal with him, it would take so much trouble to find someone to intercept him on the road.
Then who is this Mr. Qin plotting against?
Qian Chao couldn't understand, and thought that his background was different from the children of these aristocratic families. The children of these aristocratic families might have had some grievances due to their family relationships, so it was better for him not to get involved. However, this incident reminded Qian Chao that Mr. Qin was narrow-minded and evil-minded. He had offended him severely before, so he should be careful to guard against his revenge.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the thunderous snoring again, and realized that he was almost at his residence. After hearing Lu Pingchuan's snoring, he secretly thought that he would have to get up earlier tomorrow to stop Brother Lu.
