Li Zhixia didn't notice the flash of embarrassment on Shu Guan's face, and continued to explain Shu Guan's teachings.
"What I just said to my teacher is all what I want from the Dao realm of the first awareness realm."
"Of course, there are also specific methods of cultivation in the First Awareness Realm."
"The practice of the First Consciousness Realm still focuses on introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body. However, what is different from the Qi-Entraining Phase is that the purpose of introducing Qi into the body during the Qi-Entraining Phase is to temper the physical body and strengthen the meridians. But in the First Consciousness Realm, The goal of introducing Qi into the body has become to mainly temper the acupuncture points in the human body."
"There are a total of 830 acupoints in the human body, most of which are distributed in the twelve meridians. The cultivation method of the first consciousness realm is to introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, temper these acupoints, and transform them into It is tempered into a place that can accommodate and store spiritual power just like the Dantian."
"The more places we can store spiritual energy in our body, the more intense the spiritual energy in our body will naturally be. The longer we can perform Taoist magic, the stronger its power will be, and the Qi will be generated in many places, so the magical effects of the changes will be limited. more."
"However, this is not the most important purpose of tempering the acupoints. Just like our cultivation, the ultimate goal is immortality. The so-called Taoist magical powers are just to protect us along the road to immortality."
"So the real purpose of tempering the acupoints in the first realm of consciousness is to prepare for the cultivation of the Tao fetus."
"Once you are in the Tao realm, you can see the heaven and earth with your Tao mind, and the physical body has completed the tempering of the acupoints, then the first awareness realm is complete, and you can officially start to nurture the Tao fetus and enter the fetal movement realm."
"As for the strength level of the first level of knowledge, in our Taoist sect, the two characters "Chonglou" are generally used as the steps, from easy to difficult. Each time a point in a meridian is tempered, it is called climbing to the first level of the building. Knowing the Nine-layer Tower, when you climb the Nine-layer Tower, it means that in terms of cultivation, you have reached perfection for the first time. It depends on whether your Taoist heart has seen the heaven and the earth, and whether it can move the fetus."
After hearing this, Shu Guan suddenly asked with some confusion:
"Since there are twelve meridians in our body, why is there only the Nine-layer Tower in the First Awareness Realm?"
"Because most of the exercises in the first realm of cultivation in the world of cultivation can only allow you to temper ten meridians at most, and among the twelve meridians, two are strange meridians, and very few exercises can temper you. These two magical sutras must almost be unparalleled techniques that surpass the techniques of heavenly beings."
"In addition, among the 830 acupoints in the human body, the twelve meridians only connect 780 of them. There are also 50 extra-meridian dark acupoints, which are almost impossible to temper at all."
"However, before the Fifth Yuanhui, there were legends that someone could complete the tempering of all 830 acupoints in the First Consciousness Realm, but that was just a legend after all."
"In fact, as long as the acupoints in the nine meridians can be successfully tempered, it is enough to give birth to a Tao fetus."
"So the peak of the first acquaintance realm usually ends at the Nine Layers Tower."
"Old Qi, have you brought the Nine Transformations Pure Yang Technique?"
Finally, Li Zhixia asked.
Shu Guan nodded quickly.
"Bring it here, since you have completed the first level, I will help you explain the key points of the second level. After two months, after you have stabilized Zhou Tian Gong, you can practice it on your own. .”
In the next two hours, Li Zhixia helped Shu Guan explain in detail how to practice the second turn of the Nine Turns Pure Yang Kung Fu.
After Li Zhixia finished speaking, she asked Shu Guan about the progress of the things he had been investigating during this period, such as the identity of the "swallow" and the foreign object in the river. If any new clues had been found in these matters.
After Shu Guan hesitated for a while, he finally revealed some of his hidden worries from the past few days.
That's why all their actions seem to be known in advance.
Of course, Shu Guan did not say that there was a traitor in his suspicions, but he only vaguely told Li Zhixia about those concerns.
As for the reason why he finally told Li Zhixia about these concerns, naturally he could doubt anyone in the temple, but he could never doubt his master Li Zhixia.
After Li Zhixia finished listening, he didn't speak for a long time. He frowned slightly with his thick, straight, black eyebrows and stared at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shu Guan also lowered his head in silence and said no more.
"Okay, my master knows, you can go back first!"
Finally, Li Zhixia's dull voice came to Shu Guan's ears.
Shu Guan said yes and quickly stood up. Without even daring to look at Li Zhixia, he turned around and walked out the door.
But just as he was about to step out of the threshold, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the mirror at the door.
Yes, there is always a standing mirror at the door of Li Zhixia's room.
Because Li Zhixia is a very strict person, no matter how she behaves, talks, or dresses.
Whenever he appears in front of his disciples, his Taoist robes are always neat and clean, and the Taoist crown on his head is worn neatly.
And this mirror is usually used by Li Zhixia to tidy up her clothes before going out.
Shu Guan's eyes swept over the mirror, and then he found Li Zhixia staring at him from behind, her eyes so strange.
And this strange feeling came from the fact that Li Zhixia's eyes were shrouded in ink-like black at this time.
Shu Guan's heart beat violently.
He instinctively stopped and looked back.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Li Zhixia blinked and looked at Shu Guan in confusion.
Shu Guan looked into Li Zhixia's eyes.
There was indeed some confusion in those eyes, but other than that, there was nothing unusual about them, let alone "black".
"It's okay! Master, I'm leaving."
Shu Guanqiang smiled, and then hurriedly walked out of the door.
...Maybe I saw it wrong...
Shu Guan thought so when he walked out the door.
...I must have seen it wrong...
Shuguan told himself this as he walked.
But his steps suddenly paused.
Because Shu Guan suddenly remembered that this was not the first time he had seen the blackness in Li Zhixia's eyes.
The last time was when I first entered the school, during the ceremony of choosing the path, when I entered the stone room in the Zushi Pavilion, I accidentally looked back and saw a strange "black" flashing in Li Zhixia's eyes.
Shu Guan's heartbeat suddenly became a little faster.
Did I get it wrong both times?
Shu Guan can't be sure, and he doesn't dare to be sure.
He recalled Li Zhixia's words and deeds over the past year, but found nothing unusual.
Not at all.
...So maybe I just saw it wrong...
Shu Guan comforted himself in this way.
But then, he remembered something again.
It was the first time I met a girl at the Lanxin Theater. Master Sanmu of Guiyuan Temple once asked Li Zhixia. He asked about Li Zhixia's practice and whether there was any problem.
In fact, as the sect leader of the two major sects of the Seven Immortals Alliance, it was very impolite for Master Miki to ask such a question, so Shu Guan, who was standing next to him, was a little strange after hearing this.
That's why he had some impression of this matter.
Thinking back on it at this time, Shu Guan's expression became more solemn.
...Why did Master Miki ask the master like that?
This question lingered in Shuguan's mind.
Master Miki is a person born with spiritual wisdom, so he is able to cultivate the clairvoyance that almost no one has accomplished nowadays.
So did Master Miki really see something?
Otherwise, why would he ask the master that question for no reason.
"Old Qi, what are you doing?"
At this time, an old voice interrupted Shu Guan's meditation.
Shu Guan looked up and saw that he had walked to the door of Daozang Pavilion unknowingly.
At this time, Master Qi was sitting on the recliner outside Daozang Pavilion, looking at him with confusion and a look of confusion on his face.
"Uncle Qi, I'm fine."
Shu Guan quickly replied.
Today, Uncle Qi looks older, his old eyes are full of turbidity, and his energy is getting worse and worse. He spends most of the day dozing with his eyes closed.
However, this old man who only had half of his life left after becoming possessed was still stubbornly alive.
Shu Guan sat down on the steps outside Daozang Pavilion.
"Lao Qi, how is your practice now?"
Uncle Qi seemed very happy that Shu Guan could sit down and talk with him, and asked with a smile.
"This disciple has completed the Zhou Tian Gong yesterday. I was listening to the master's next practice just now."
"Have you completed the Zhou Tian Gong? Well, well! Lao Qi, you are indeed a disciple of Lu Zu Qinze. How come you have reached the peak of the Qi-Entraining Stage so quickly?"
Master Qi smiled even happier.
...It's not that fast...Sixth Brother's Qi-entraining period was completed much faster than me...
Regarding Master Qi's preference, Shu Guan still grumbled.
"However, you have just completed the Zhou Tian Gong. You cannot be too hasty in your practice. You should stabilize it first and wait for two months before thinking about breaking through. On the road to practice, the most important foundation is not solid. If you are too hasty, you will become obsessed in the future. The risk will be much greater.”
Then Master Qi continued.
"Thank you, Master Qi, for your concern. The master also told the disciple just now."
Shu Guan said gratefully, then his heart moved, and he pondered for a moment and asked:
"Uncle Qi, I want to ask you something, but I don't know if you will be angry."
"Haha, it's okay for you to ask, Old Seventh. As long as my uncle knows something, he will definitely tell you."
Uncle Qi said indifferently.
"...Uncle, how did you become possessed in the first place?"
Shu Guan asked cautiously.
The smile on Master Qi's face suddenly disappeared.
"Uncle Qi, I'm sorry, it was my disciple who took the liberty. If you don't want to say anything, just pretend that I didn't ask."
Shu Guan apologized quickly.
After being silent for a while, Master Qi laughed again.
His smile was very old, and all the wrinkles on his face seemed to be immersed in memories at this moment.
"...Actually, there's nothing bad to tell you..."
"Back then, I wanted to kill a mortal, but due to heaven's rules, I was unable to kill him. I could only watch him live happily."
"Then one day, when I first encountered fetal movement, I became obsessed with it. It's as simple as that."
After a long time, Master Qi said this calmly.
It does sound simple.
But Shu Guan understood how painful and torturous this was for a practitioner, especially when he had just heard from Li Zhixia not long ago how important the Tao mind was in the process of practicing the realm of first consciousness.
Master Qi obviously had the power to kill that mortal easily, but he couldn't kill him due to heaven's rules.
If you don't kill, it will be difficult to stabilize your Taoist mind.
Killing is against the rules of heaven.
Perhaps at that time he had seen his own world through his Taoist mind, but unfortunately he could not live freely in his own world.
It was in this contradiction that Master Qi's Taoist heart was damaged, causing problems when he broke through.
Shu Guan roughly understood the reason why Master Qi went crazy back then, and then sighed.
This should be the reason why many disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance have gone crazy.
Then Shu Guan stood up from the steps.
"Uncle Qi, I want to enter the Daozang Pavilion and choose some Taoist techniques."
"Aren't you basically practicing all the Taoist arts in the pavilion, except for those earthly immortal arts..."
Uncle Qi was speaking casually, but suddenly paused, frowned and said:
"Lao Qi, didn't you just tell me not to be too anxious about practicing?"
"I'm just going to take a look at those earthly magic skills first and get familiar with them, so that I can get started early when I practice them for a while."
Shu Guan said with a smile.
"Oh, that's it. Then Lao Qi, you can go in and pick out your own, but remember not to take too many. The Earthly Immortal Technique is our Shan Jiguan's art of suppressing and contemplating. After reading one volume, you can take another one."
So Uncle Qi waved his hand nonchalantly, then closed his eyes and continued to take a nap.
Shu Guan walked into the Daozang Pavilion alone.
He actually lied to Uncle Qi just now.
Originally, he was really not in a hurry to enter the realm of first consciousness, but just now, Shu Guan suddenly changed his mind.
He planned to enter the realm of first knowledge as soon as possible and practice those earthly immortal arts at the same time.
This change came from some inexplicable worries that Shu Guan had in mind.
Shu Guan didn't know what he was worried about. Maybe it was because Jingcheng always gave people a depressing feeling that a storm was about to come.
So Shu Guan wants to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Although he possesses a huge ox-horn bow and an ox-ear sharp knife, he is not afraid of any opponent in the Nascent Soul realm, but the more things like strength are always better.
Shu Guan walked into Daozang Pavilion, walked directly to the second floor, and walked to a wooden frame at the back of the second floor.
On this wooden shelf, there are five dark purple wooden boxes quietly placed.
In these five dark purple wooden boxes, there are the five earthly immortal arts of Shanjinguan.
The five earthly immortal techniques and the three treasures of the watch are the true foundation of Shan Si Guan. They are also the most important weapon for Shan Si Kuan to adhere to the rules of heaven and suppress evil spirits.
Shu Guan took a deep breath, and then opened the five purple wooden boxes one by one.
His eyes slowly swept over the five volumes of Taoist secrets in the wooden box.
"Dou Mi Taoist Technique"
"Thousand Water Sword Technique"
"The Art of Moving Mountains"
"Corpse Puppetry"
"Thunder"
Shu Guan actually already knew the names of these five earthly immortal arts.
Among them, Dou Mi Dao Technique is a divination technique. Shu Guan has seen his fifth senior brother An Zichun perform it many times.
Thousand Waters Sword Technique is a sword-controlling technique that is more powerful than Qingping's sword-controlling technique. Third senior sister Rui Jianqiao spent all day sitting under the waterfall by the small lake to gain enlightenment. What she learned was the swordsmanship of Thousand Waters Sword Technique. However, Shu Guan has never seen Third Senior Sister perform this sword-controlling technique, and it is said that she has not been able to truly master this earth-immortal-level sword-controlling technique.
Mountain Moving Technique, according to records in the secret book, if this Taoist technique was mastered a few Yuanhui ago, it can really move a mountain away from its original place. As for how big the mountain can be moved, it depends on you. The state of cultivation.
However, no disciples of Shanjingguan currently practice this Taoist art, because practicing the mountain-moving art requires practitioners who follow the path of earth.
Of course, if Shu Guan wants to practice, he can still practice it, because so far, he has not encountered any obstacles on the road.
As for the reason why there are no road barriers, it is unknown whether it is because he is taking the Yin-Yang Avenue or for other reasons.
As for the corpse puppet technique, Shu Guan was even more familiar with it, because every month he and Li Zhixia would use this technique to help Han Biao wake up.
The last Earthly Immortal Technique is Thunderbolt. As you can tell from its name, it is a Taoist technique that follows the path of thunder. Currently, only Li Zhixia in Shanxi Guan has practiced this Taoist technique.
Shu Guan had seen his master perform this thunderbolt once before. He raised his hand and summoned nine thunderbolts, which completely destroyed the Fuhua Warehouse covering an area of over a thousand square meters.
...Then, which Taoist technique should I practice first...
Shu Guan's eyes wandered over the five volumes of Taoist secret books, hesitating a little.
... Dou Mi’s Taoist Technique? ...No need to worry, the most important thing now is to improve your combat power first.
...Mountain-moving technique? Even if he could restore the Taoist magic to its original power, he would only be able to move a real mountain if he only had the strength of the Qi-entraining stage.
If you just move a bigger stone, it doesn't make sense.
Shu Guan finally looked back and forth for a long time on the two secret books of Qian Shui Jian Jue and Thunder Wan Jun.
Then he gritted his teeth, reached out and picked up the volume of Thunder.
