Chapter 7: Meditation
()013-09-01
While chatting and laughing, the two of them arrived in front of the main hall where Xie Ling had just arrived last time. Only then did he notice that there was a three-story attic behind the main hall. The overall atmosphere was magnificent, and several Cang Yue Sect disciples were guarding the door.
"We're here, let's go in!" Zhang Meng pointed to the attic opposite.
The guarding disciples checked that the Cang Yue Order was correct and then put them inside. There were two doors on the left and right sides of the hall. Zhang Meng walked towards the door on the left. Xie Ling noticed the four words "First Peep at the Door" written on the lintel.
"Token—" an old man with long eyebrows behind the table on one side of the room glanced at them and said lazily.
The two handed him their Cang Yue Tokens, and the long-browed old man simply swiped them on a white jade disk on the table. The basic information of the two people was immediately displayed on the surface of the white jade disk.
"Trial students, hehe, they only have ten basic contribution points given by the sect——" The long-browed old man threw the tokens to them again without moving his eyelids and said: "There are opportunistic people every year, but so far I still
I don’t see many who can stay, so you two can take care of yourself!” After saying this, he closed his eyes and ignored them.
Zhang Meng and Xie Ling put the tokens in their arms, looked at each other, and then walked straight in.
The books in the room only need numbers, names and brief introductions. If you want to get the magic formula, you only need to report the number to the old man with long eyebrows guarding the front. Each exchange will deduct contribution points from the redeemer's Cang Yue Order accordingly.
There are at least nearly a thousand books displayed on the bookshelves inside, but most of the starting redemption points exceed ten contribution points. After searching for a while, Xie Ling finally found the 'Hercules'. Just like Zhang Meng said
, it has nine levels of magic, and the exchange price of the first level is ten contribution points.
He took a look at the introduction and found that the first three levels of 'Hercules' were not of much help to him. He put the introduction back to its original position. Xie Ling became more determined about the purpose of this trip. He searched the room for a long time.
Finally, he found what he wanted in a remote corner - the art of mindfulness!
He couldn't wait to open the introduction of the book. The introduction inside was the same as the one in the book. It focused on training people's spiritual consciousness and telepathy. After reaching the first level of cultivation, you can have the ability to use spiritual consciousness to pick up objects from across the air.
He looked at the price tag below. The first level of redemption standard, ten contribution points, OK, that's it!
Zhang Meng obviously had a goal before he came and had already chosen it.
"Water Cloud Technique! Yes, it is very suitable for you." The old man with long eyebrows heard him report the number. He just pointed his right hand back, and saw a flash of light in the row of bookshelves behind him, and a jade slip flew out. He grabbed it
He paused, glanced at the two of them and said: "This is the first time you have exchanged the skills, so you must first make a blood oath. Before the golden elixir is completed, you are not allowed to give or receive the skills you have received privately without the permission of the sect.
, if you violate the oath, you will no longer make any progress in your cultivation in this life, and once you find out, you will discard what you have learned before and be expelled from the sect, do you understand!"
"Got it!" they both said in unison.
Then, in front of the long-browed old man, the two of them swore a blood oath.
The old man with long eyebrows threw the jade slip in his hand to Zhang Meng. After Zhang Meng took it, he happily put it on his forehead. The jade slip flashed with brilliance, and countless characters rushed into his mind!
"You?" The long-browed old man looked at Xie Ling, and threw the jade slip back with his right hand, and it landed firmly on the bookshelf behind.
Xie Ling reported the number. To his surprise, the long-browed old man's originally lazy face condensed. His electric eyes carefully looked at Xie Ling opposite him again, and after a while he said: "I remember correctly.
If so, you are now testing in a gravel field!"
"This junior is indeed testing in the gravel field. Is there any problem with this?" Xie Ling said.
"Then why didn't you choose the 'Herculean Technique' instead of the 'Nian Shen Technique' which has no meaning to you?" said the old man with long eyebrows.
"I thought this name sounded better than the rustic 'Hercules', so I chose it. Isn't it wrong?" Xie Ling naturally can't tell the truth, and the other person looks weird, so he should be careful.
wonderful.
"Nothing. Of course!" The long-browed old man returned to his original lazy look. He also moved his right hand slightly backward, and a jade slip flew out in a flash of light.
After the exchange was completed, the two of them quickly left the Sutra Pavilion and continued working in the afternoon. The time was very tight.
When they walked out of the room, the old man inside seemed to have changed. Ru Yuan Ting Yue Zhi looked at their leaving figures and murmured: "Interesting, although these two boys are only low-grade immortals,
, but one of them is filled with very pure water aura; the other's bones and meridians are very strong, not comparable to ordinary people. He should have been soaked in potions that strengthen muscles and bones since he was a child. But the most interesting thing is that he actually chose that
Most people don’t understand the mystery of this ‘Nian Shen Jue’, but it is a useful technique that can be practiced to the golden elixir stage!”
After staying up until nightfall, Xie Ling returned to the stone house and took out the journal from the stone wall, which recorded some of Yi Tianxing's experiences while practicing this technique.
Spiritual thoughts are the manifestation of power after the concentration of consciousness. Yangshen is the process of exercising the focus of consciousness and strengthening one's own spiritual consciousness. This step cannot be rushed, it must be accumulated little by little.
Next, the diary detailedly introduced the precautions for cultivating the mind. Xie Ling did not close the diary until he understood it. After thinking about it silently, he felt that there was nothing missing, so he started for the first time.
Practice!
First, he focused his thoughts on the Zuqiao point between his eyes, near the tip of his nose. After a while, he felt a little tightness between his eyebrows. Later, he started to beat slightly and regularly. He knew that this was the stirring of spiritual thoughts.
!
After a night of sitting cross-legged and meditating, Xie Ling felt a little sore and numb in his legs, but his mental state was excellent. In this way, he completed the tasks assigned by Hao Mingli every day in a slow and unhurried manner. Ten days later,
Finally, in the Cang Yue Order, he saw the two contribution points awarded after completing the mission.
The remaining trial students received different contribution points based on the number of tasks they received. The highest one received ten contribution points, while the lowest was only five contribution points.
The gravel field is now a little noisy. Groups of three and four are talking quietly. They are waiting for Hao Mingli to come back and announce the workload for next month.
This is the first time Xie Ling has received a mission, and he is a little excited. The amount of missions and contribution points are directly linked. To become a foundation-building monk, you must obtain enough contribution points!
"Senior Brother Hao is back!"
While he was thinking about it, Hao Mingli walked out of the doorway in the earthen wall with small steps. Suddenly, the gravel field became quiet. Everyone held their breath, waiting for him to announce the number of tasks and rewards.
standard.
Hao Mingli glanced at the fourteen people present. He enjoyed the feeling of looking down from above. He cleared his throat to make himself look more majestic and said: "The task of our gravel yard this month is black iron."
Three million jins of ore and two million jins of bronze ore. The basic task for trial students is 300,000 jins of black iron ore or 250,000 jins of bronze ore. The sect’s contribution point reward is eight points. The basic task is
Above, for each additional 20,000 kilograms of black iron ore or 15,000 kilograms of bronze ore, one contribution point will be awarded. There is no upper limit. Those who are capable can work hard to obtain more contribution points. Of course, once the task is received, it cannot be changed.
, if it is not completed, one contribution point will be deducted for every 10,000 kilograms of black iron or bronze ore that is not completed. You can estimate how much you can deduct, and don’t say that I didn’t remind you beforehand.”
Xie Ling began to evaluate the amount of tasks he could complete in a month. In the end, for the sake of safety, he only received the basic tasks. Qin Pei and Long Xiang received an additional 100,000 and 60,000 black iron ore tasks respectively.
They plan to use two months to gather the contribution points to redeem the third layer of 'Hourglass Technique' and 'Hercules Technique'.
According to Yi Tianxing's understanding of the "study of mental recitation" in his annals, it is necessary to be steady during the stage of mental rest. The longer it takes to settle, the wider the road will be in the future. Don't be impatient.
Therefore, Xie Ling let go of his obsession and decided not to worry about the length of time. He meditated every night, and during the day, after the spiritual consciousness was initially released from the body, he followed the tips that Yi Tianxing understood on his own, adding the auxiliary practice of spiritual consciousness during the stone crushing process.
In order to cover his ears and eyes, he specially found a straw hat and put it on his head, so that no one could see that he had his eyes closed every time he hammered. Although this was a bit weird, no one would meddle in his own business and think he was afraid.
Sunbathing. Hao Mingli shook his head when he saw it, but didn't say anything except contempt in his heart.
So Xie Ling started to practice with his eyes closed in a big way. At first, he was still a little unfamiliar, and the hammer often did not land at the position locked by his spiritual consciousness. However, with the passage of time and repeated training, in the end, his spiritual consciousness became clearer than his eyes.
And accurate!
One day, two days, three days, in the days to come, as long as there is a chance, he will use his spiritual consciousness to perceive everything around him. With such repeated training, his spiritual consciousness grows at an astonishing rate. From the beginning, he can only
It locks onto the target within a foot range and slowly expands to cover a distance of three feet. Within the area sensed by the divine sense, not even a needle can escape its search.
The first step of the first level of the 'Psychic Thought Technique' is initially achieved, and the second step is to exercise the power of divine thoughts. Xie Ling had tried this once in the stone house. It can be said to have failed that time.
Within the area of spiritual awareness, even a fallen leaf cannot move it.
Xie Ling knew that there was no rush and it would take a certain amount of time to accumulate. During the day, he still used his spiritual consciousness to sense everything outside. Although it made him dizzy every day, as long as he adjusted his mind according to the 'Nian Shen Technique'
After a night of rest and meditation, he will fully recover. No, it should be said that he is stronger than yesterday. Now he is not only using his spiritual consciousness to sense everything outside, he is trying to penetrate his spiritual consciousness into the black iron ore and start to naturally
It's impossible to do it, you can only get in through certain lines.
Through the induction of his spiritual consciousness, he learned that the black iron ore was actually made up of many small pieces put together under huge pressure. The lines on it were exactly where they connected when they were put together, so he only needed to hit the intersection of them hard.
, the black iron ore will split into pieces along the lines.
Noticing this, Xie Ling added the power of his spiritual thoughts every time he hammered down! One hammer, two hammers, he added the power of his spiritual thoughts every time he hammered, and practiced repeatedly.
Chapter completed!
