When we came out of the palace, the setting sun had already covered half of the sky.
Standing on the stairs and overlooking the surrounding fields, you can have a panoramic view of the many buildings in the royal city, the sunset illuminates the green tiles, and the ground is covered with pear flowers in the evening. This seemingly lofty dome is also under another world.
Martial arts has entered its twilight years, and the truly cruel era is about to come.
Zhao Shun let out a long sigh, Zhou Pianran didn't know why and cast a questioning look. She shook her head: "Nothing, just thinking about something."
"Don't follow me. I just saw you walking in a trance."
Seeing that it was late, Guanzhu Liang asked them to stay there first, and would meet them if he had the chance in the future. As for what counts as fate, no one knows.
The person leading the way was a young Taoist with a white face and no beard, who called himself Min and Shunxing. He was extremely polite to them and kept smiling all the way. When they arrived at the accommodation, he answered everyone's questions for half a quarter of an hour.
"If you need anything, just go to the miscellaneous office at the front and ask for food, clothing, travel, carriages and horses. Everything is available." Min Shunxing followed Yourong, showing a complacent look.
A large courtyard separated by an eaves wall. There were green bamboos on the left, where Liu Ziyi lived, and flowers on the right. Zhou Pianran pulled Zhao Shun in and didn't want to leave.
Wang Chuyan was able to live with them thanks to Wang Fang. The three of them had a wing room each. Zhou Pianran chose the one under the flowers, while Zhao Chun preferred the one in the corner near the well.
Although the sun had completely set, Zhao Chun did not feel sleepy at all. After finishing the meal that was delivered to her, she lit a candle, leaned on the table, and began to study the Synaesthesia True Consciousness Dharma Sutra she had received.
The first page is a warning, warning readers that everything cannot be accomplished overnight. Turning the page is an interpretation of the Five Elements. He talked about the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and also explained why it is better to have fewer spiritual roots.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of biting off more than you can chew. The more spiritual roots you have, the more spiritual attributes you can introduce.
But this is not a good thing. The total amount of spiritual energy introduced in one breath is fixed, and the attributes of the pseudo-spiritual roots are too complex. After the spiritual energy is divided, the quantity of each type will be small. The reason why a single spiritual root is precious is that it can only introduce one kind of spiritual energy naturally, and its cultivation speed is much faster than others.
Next, how to introduce Qi into the body.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flows outside the human body and cannot be seen by the naked eye. The Dharma Sutra teaches an art of breathing and breathing, which can nourish the body, sense the spiritual energy outside, and then activate the spiritual roots to call the spiritual energy into the body. This quick step only takes a moment, but as for the slow step, it is recorded in the book that the longest step was by a disciple of the Qing Chan Sect, who had not introduced Qi into his body for three years.
Zhao Chun recalled Cao Wenguan's words that there were only five years to prepare a disciple. Introducing Qi into the body was only the first step, and the meridians and acupuncture points must be cleansed and opened. If it takes too long at the beginning, it will be difficult later.
She took out a piece of white paper and wrote a line of words.
Introduce Qi into the body and gain speed.
Next, we will talk about the meridians. After the spiritual energy enters the body through the skin and flesh, it is guided to the Dantian by the spiritual roots. The cultivator needs luck to make it enter the meridians. Humans are originally made of mortal flesh. There are too many mortal impurities in the meridians, and the spiritual energy cannot flow to form the heaven. After successively washing with spiritual energy and opening up the twelve meridians, you can enter the acupuncture stage.
The principles of the acupoints chapter are the same as those of the meridians chapter, but they are more complicated. There are twelve meridians, but there are hundreds of acupoints that need to be broken, and they cannot be done at will. Fifty-two single acupoints start first, followed by 300 double acupoints, and finally fifty extra-meridian odd acupoints. The acupoints have the function of accumulating spiritual energy, promoting the direction of spiritual energy, and accelerating the movement of the heavens. Therefore, clearing the acupoints is an indispensable part of practice.
Zhao Shun traced a simplified diagram of the human body's meridians and acupuncture points on paper, and silently set aside the order of punching the acupoints.
"Everything has its beginning and end, and everything has its beginning and end. If you know the sequence, you will get the shortcut." She thought to herself that the principles of her ancestors are indeed applicable everywhere.
Zhao Shun wanted to turn back and found that he had reached the bottom. At the end of the book, there is an additional sentence: "After preparing disciples to get started, you can expect to read the next volume." You know that you will not be able to see the follow-up for a long time.
But this knowledge is enough for her. She can try the induction formula first to nourish her body. You should also memorize the meridians and acupuncture points. You can do as many basic things as you want this month to save time in the future.
Without further ado, she turned back to the page of the secret formula and began to memorize it silently.
The words were still the same, but when combined they became obscure. She seemed to have returned to campus, to those days when she was dealing with words.
If the meaning of the sentence cannot be understood, the difficulty of forced recitation will only increase sharply. She disassembles each paragraph, understands it word by word, and finally connects one sentence to come up with a summary.
The Heart Jue was too mysterious, and it was her first time to come into contact with such secrets. After only roughly understanding a few sentences, she felt mentally exhausted.
"Don't be greedy for too much of anything. If you continue to explain it, you will only make mistakes. It is better to rest first and recharge your energy before starting work tomorrow."
She rubbed her eyes and put out the candle.
Maybe he really consumed his energy too much, and Zhao Shun fell into a very deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that "the sunrise was three poles high, and the color was red and yellow."
She took a breath and stood up to get dressed. After putting her hair up a few times, she pushed the door open and went out to get some water to wash up. If she remembered correctly, there was a well outside this wing.
When I got to the well, I found that there was no equipment to draw water. Zhao Shun turned back to get the bucket, but was stopped when he turned around.
"Do you want some water?"
Wang Chuyan changed out of her bright clothes and wore only a simple moon-white sarong. Her face was clean, and she must have washed up early.
"Yeah, but I didn't see the one with water. I was about to get it."
"No need, there is no water in this well." She pointed far away, "The path in front goes around and there is a place for washing. Today is the first time. They can't figure out when we will get up. They have to go to the miscellaneous office to register first, and then Someone brought water."
Zhao Shun thanked her, and she smiled and said: "There is nothing to thank you for. We all come from the same place, so we must help each other."
This was very meaningful. The two of them clearly came from different places. If they insist on establishing a relationship, they can only say that they are both from the Chu Kingdom. Zhao Shun asked: "The same place?"
Wang Chuyan said in surprise: "Don't you know? My brother told me that it was not just Chu State, but other countries were recruiting disciples. For example, Jin State and Wu State selected more disciples than us. She lowered her voice, "Brother said that Deacon Cao even lost his temper."
Zhao Shun looked solemn and replied: "If you hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known." The road to cultivation is also a competitive road. Only by studying hard and practicing hard can she not be squeezed out by others.
"You don't have to worry too much. Go and freshen up quickly. Deacon Cao has an extraordinary background and a high status in the outer sect. With him around, others will not dare to look down on us."
Her brother is Cao Wenguan's junior brother. He loves the house and the bird, so he is naturally protected by him.
And Zhao Shun was only selected by him. Strictly speaking, it was Cao Wen who showed her the way. She did not dare to expect that Cao Wenguan would be kind and take care of their few preliminary disciples.
After saying goodbye to Wang Chuyan, she walked forward through a camphor forest and saw several empty water platforms. Zhao Chuanxiang finished washing up hastily, and planned to go back to the house to continue the vest technique.
