Tonight I can finally practice with peace of mind.
The practice that was interrupted by the uninvited guest last night has finally come to perfection.
The moment she succeeded, it was as if a veil covering her senses had been pierced, and she suddenly became enlightened.
Song Yushan had never felt so relaxed. The distance between him and the world seemed to be much closer, and he had a wonderful sense of transparency.
The Body Tempering Realm has reached Great Perfection, and the next year will be a crucial year for advancing to the Qi Condensing Realm.
After that, she needs to start working on the mental method when the moon rises and stop when the moon sets, so that the month in front of her forehead follows the rotation of the moon in the sky and changes into a big cycle, which is one year.
At the end of one year, the moon in front of the forehead reflects the Dantian, and the moon in the belly is born, opening up the sea of qi. From then on, the moon in the belly acts as the core to convert the absorbed moonlight into one's own true qi, condensing and transforming the first ray of true qi, and condensing the qi state. That’s it.
This year, even if it was windy or rainy, or the moon was dark, she had to run her mind on time without interruption.
If there is a break, all the previous daily practice efforts will be wasted, and the one-year period needs to be calculated again.
The mother-in-law's practice experience record says that there were predecessors in the sect who had to wait for more than ten years to complete the full one-year period because accidents always happened.
This is really not an exaggeration.
The time when the moon rises and sets is not fixed, which is very different from the time when the moon attracts the moonlight on weekdays.
After sunset, without the influence of the sun, the moonlight becomes more pure, which is suitable for practicing the moonlight mental method.
But the moon does not rise after sunset.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law left a poem "Ding Taiyin" in the record of her experiences, recording the approximate time of the rising moon, and Song Yushan had already memorized it in advance.
"Three Chen five four eighty five rise, the tenth day of the lunar month comes before the thirteenth day.
In the 15th year of the 18th year of the twelfth lunar month, the 18th day of the lunar month was recorded.
On the 23rd day, the hour comes out, and on the 26th day, the ugly hour goes.
On the twenty-eighth day, the Yin time comes out, and on the thirty-ninth day, the last round is at the end of the month. "
Tomorrow is the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month. According to "Ding Taiyin", the moon should rise around Zi time.
However, Song Yushan was not in a hurry to start practicing for a period of time.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, and tomorrow is the last day the bookstore will open its doors to welcome guests.
She also has to prepare gifts for her father's old friends and people in the industry.
The moon rises at Zi hour and the moon sets at noon.
Song Yushan simply decided to take advantage of these few days to arrange everything for the next year and explain the situation to people he knew well.
Try to nip the possibility of unexpected surprises in the cradle in advance, strive for smoothness, and pass the critical period of practice in the next year.
So on the morning of the 23rd, Song Yushan left Jingniang and Dabai Goose to look after the store, while she went to the market to prepare for the Spring Festival gifts.
After his father's death, there were only two families who had close contact with each other, the Yuan family of the pen and ink shop across the street and the Lu family of the magistrate of Fushui County.
Song Yushan, the magistrate of Lu County, also known as Shibo, was a classmate and good friend of his father.
Yuan Shibo and Lu Shibo took good care of her after her father passed away. She needed to put a little thought into the etiquette of the two families.
In terms of property, there are three places: Fumanzhai, workshop and bookstore. They follow the practice of previous years.
When she came out today, in addition to setting the gifts for the Spring Festival, she also made a list of gifts for the next four seasons of the year with several shops that she often interacted with, and asked them to deliver them to the corresponding places on time.
In the afternoon, I went back to the bookstore and took Jingniang with me to take inventory of the bookstore's account books for this year and put them into storage.
Finally, the bookstore was cleaned and the notice that it was open to welcome guests on the 16th day of the first lunar month was hung, and then the door was closed.
On the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Qing and the two stewards at the bottom of the workshop came with this year's account books of the Song family workshop.
Ordered the whole day's account.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Yushan invited Uncle Qing, Jingniang, Uncle Jin and several other stewards to have dinner at Fumanzhai.
She indicated that in the next year, she would focus on her spiritual practice, asked them to pay more attention to matters related to her property, and provided a certain amount of profit dividends to the managers at each location.
Finally, she drew up a specific time period according to "Ding Taiyin" for closing the door and thanking guests, and asked them to try to avoid these times if they came to see her for something.
If there is an emergency during these times, Uncle Jin and Uncle Qing can discuss it together.
In addition, the due date for next year has been moved to after the Spring Festival.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Yushan went to the Yuan Mansion with the festival ceremony to confess to Yuan Shibo.
The moon always rises in the daytime during the first few days of the first lunar month. She is preparing to start her one-year practice on the first day of the first lunar month and cannot spare time to pay New Year greetings.
"Good girl, there is no need to be so polite with Shibo. Shibo is not one of those ignorant people.
Cultivation is more difficult than studying to test for fame, but once you achieve something, the world will be much broader than studying.
If you have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation, cultivation will naturally come first.
You can practice cultivation with peace of mind and leave the worldly affairs to the people below you. Your father had screened the people in the industry several times during his lifetime, so you don’t have to worry about them in recent years.
Besides, there are me and you, Lu Shibo! "
Shopkeeper Yuan touched his beard and liked the only descendant of his old friend more and more, and he felt a bit proud.
It was an old friend who had great foresight. Before his death, he found such a good master for his daughter and truly embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
He has read stories about ghosts and monsters for so many years, but he has never found that Granny Hua is a real person.
Song Yushan heard that Yuan Shibo not only didn't mind, but also supported her in putting her practice first. She didn't seem to regard the monk as a magic stick like other people in the county, and she also spoke highly of the monk's ability.
It was not surprising that Yuan Shibo was interested in monks. Yuan Shibo had bought every book about monsters in the bookstore. He even wrote a book for her bookstore to print and sell for free.
I just didn't expect that he really believed in the monk's ability. This was not like someone who only read stories about monsters.
"Has Shibo ever seen other monks or experienced any weird things?" Song Yushan asked curiously.
There seemed to be excitement in Shopkeeper Yuan's eyes, and he whispered to her mysteriously:
"Stories about strange things are not all made up. There are especially many mountain spirits and wild monsters outside the city. Did you know that on the way to the exam, the mountain spirits and wild monsters are the first test for scholars.
Only those who are truly talented and upright can avoid evil and avoid danger.
Back then, your father, me, and you, Lu Shibo, all went to the county town to pass the exam.
Over there in the county, the existence of monks is not a secret..."
Song Yushan and Yuan Shibo spent several hours talking and had lunch at Yuan's Mansion. It was already afternoon when they left Yuan's Mansion.
She yearned for the county town even more.
Yuan Shibo said that the cultivation atmosphere in Linjiang County was excellent.
There are many monks with exquisite magic skills there, and the people respect them as immortal masters.
Everyone in the county and town dreams of becoming a disciple of an immortal master and practicing cultivation. If they are destined to be immortals, it will be more glorious than being named on the gold medal list.
Fushui County is a quiet corner, and compared with the county town, the news is still too limited.
