"Don't run around all day long. Cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. How can you practice if your mind can't be calm?
I think the reason why those places outside the world choose overseas fairy islands or deep mountains is to avoid worldly interference and practice peace of mind. "
"What you say makes sense. It may take many people many years to understand this truth, or even a lifetime." Zhuo Siwei nodded after hearing this.
"Second level? Once you get to first level, you'll be able to protect yourself, so why don't you just wander around?" Wang Zhe thought to himself.
On the same day, Zhuo Siwei left Guobei County with two colleagues.
Ganzhou, Dingyang Houfu,
A middle-aged man wearing a vermilion robe, with a square face and thick eyebrows, sat upright on the Grand Master's chair, like a lion that was not angry but mighty.
Sitting on his left side was a thin, middle-aged man, wearing a green robe and with three long beards.
"Taoist Yu Liu and Baihe are both dead. There is a second-grade swordsman in Guobei County who has understood the meaning of the sword."
"Second rank, could it be that the swordsman master robbed the tribute from the Marquis?" said the thin middle-aged man.
"It's not him. Earlier, Yu Liu and Taoist Master Baihe wrote that the robbery of tributes was done by monsters. As for the swordsman, maybe he just happened to meet him?"
"Whether it's by chance or intentional, I think this tribute matter can be settled on him. Robbery of tributes is a serious crime. Are there not many second-level masters locked up in the capital's sky jail?
Which one of them was not a person who was once all-powerful and domineering? "The skinny man said, twirling his beard.
"Well, what you said makes sense, sir. I will write a note and hand it over later."
...
Guobei County,
Wang Zhe was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed. He was not meditating, but studying a book of exercises.
"Nanzhai Sword Code",
Nanzhai refers to Nanqiu Jianzhai, which is a world-famous training place and is famous for its swordsmanship.
This sword manual is the kendo practice gained by successive masters of Nanqiu Jianzhai. Although it is only a fragment, it is enough to benefit people a lot.
That Yu Liu was able to cultivate so much in swordsmanship was all thanks to this sword manual.
Wang Zhe lay on this rocking chair, swaying, and the day passed before he knew it.
He hadn't seen the head catcher Zhu Xiao for a few days. He heard that he was preparing for the martial arts examination, so he went to take care of him.
In Dayong, whether you were taking part in the imperial examination or the martial arts examination, you could not pass the exam just by having knowledge and skills. You also had to manage relationships.
It's really hard to get a few hundred taels of silver each.
"No wonder that Zhu Captou is so buttoned up on weekdays!"
After a symbolic circle on the street, Wang Zhe returned home.
During the recent period of practice, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have hit a hurdle.
Therefore, I would go home and meditate every day after midnight. It was like this for several days.
That feeling was like a layer of fog blocking oneself, which could not be broken or driven away. It was very uncomfortable.
After practicing for a day, this is still the case.
This made him a little confused. In the past, his practice was basically a matter of course, and he never encountered any obstacles or difficulties. This was the first time he encountered a situation like this.
However, Zhuo Siwei was not around, so he had no one to communicate with, so he could only comprehend on his own.
There was nothing going on in the yamen anyway, so he simply took three days off to think about it at home.
Three days passed quickly, and his internal strength had increased to a certain extent, but he had not yet broken through that "hump", and instead became more and more confused.
As a result, it is inevitable that I will feel a little anxious.
"Could it be that you've hit a mental block?"
I read a few "Qing Jing Sutra" to drive away the anxiety.
"That's all. Since you can't see through it for the time being, let's let it go."
Wang Zhe was no longer so persistent and went directly to the kitchen, took some noodles and prepared to make a bowl of noodles.
Egg, mix the dough, knead repeatedly,
Boil water, make soup with big bones,
A bowl of noodles is also very particular.
This was to distract him and put aside his spiritual practice for the time being.
In the next few days, he did not practice day and night, but spent the day quickly watching the people in the city coming and going and being busy. He chatted with a few acquaintances and talked about the shortcomings of his parents.
Listen to Lao Hou talk about family affairs, read the scriptures,
On this day, the weather was a bit gloomy, with faint thunder.
After a while, the raindrops fell from the sky and fell on the roof, making a crackling sound.
Wang Zhe stood under the eaves, looking up at the rain, looking at the clouds in the sky, and listening to the thunder.
He didn't think about anything, just watched quietly, entranced.
Boom, suddenly a bolt of thunder and lightning pierced the clouds, fell from that day, and fell into the distance.
There was a click, like a crisp sound, like the sound of window paper being punctured.
Wang Zhe's body trembled slightly, and he felt a heat pouring into the back of his pillow. The rain in his eyes suddenly became blurry, and soon became clear again, very clear.
He saw the veins of the leaves of the laurel tree at the entrance of the alley, and heard the sound of the spider's web under the eaves.
Close your eyes and let your consciousness spread out,
Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet...
There are women cooking, men drinking, rats digging holes in the ground, birds flying through the rain, and the city god being worshiped in someone's home...
Wang Zhe took a deep breath,
The true energy in the body is like a river flowing eastward, flowing endlessly, as if there is a faint roaring sound, breaking through holes and breaking holes along the way, and it becomes stronger every time it goes around.
He "saw" the meridians and organs in his body.
Slowly raising his hand, the wind and rain in front of him tilted, and he stepped into the rain. All the wind and rain began to tilt and bounce away two feet away from his body, as if he had encountered an invisible barrier.
Turn the gas into gangbang,
True energy connects hundreds of meridians,
Spiritual consciousness explores all directions,
The sky and the earth are still the same, the wind and rain are still the same, but in Wang Zhe's eyes they are still different.
Whoosh, he disappeared, and in two flashes he came to the city wall. A moment later, he came to the river outside the city, and then returned to the city, in the courtyard,
He made a cup of tea, lit a lamp, picked up a book of scripture, and began to read softly,
That night, he watched the wind and rain and broke through!
Speaking of joy, of course there is some, but it is not the kind of ecstasy, just a small sense of accomplishment.
It turns out that spiritual practice is not too difficult!
The next morning, the sun was rising, the sky was high, and the autumn sky looked particularly blue.
Wang Zhe clicked and fished as usual.
The county lieutenant had approached him privately several times, intending to promote him to be the head catcher, but he declined every time.
Peaceful days are always short,
In the afternoon, when he was grilling lamb chops at home, a familiar face appeared on the wall.
"Brother Wang, I'm back!" Zhuo Siwei came in cheerfully carrying a bottle of wine.
"Well, it smells so good!"
"Why are you back again?"
"Come to handle the case. The last case of the tribute being robbed has been reported to the capital. The Holy Emperor was furious after hearing this and ordered Baiqisi to arrest the person who robbed the tribute as soon as possible." Zhuo Siwei stared at the roasted lamb chops.
"Isn't it the work of monsters?"
"That's not what Marquis Dingyang's memorial said. He said that the second-grade master teamed up with monsters to loot the tributes. The Holy One naturally believed what he said.
This time I was just ordered to take a forward position. Experts were sent from the capital, three second-grade experts! "Zhuo Siwei held out three fingers.
