Chapter 4: The Art of Heart Zen Returning to Oneness
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
At night, Gu Yuanqing was sitting quietly cross-legged, and his clothes suddenly bulged, and an invisible breath swept away, making all the frivolous things around him fly.
In his body, thirty-six acupoints sparkle with light, echoing each other, driven by vitality, and the formation forms on its own!
“Finally, I have reached the ninth level of Yuan Shi. The thirty-six acupoints of the Xuantian Skill have been tempered and formed into the Xuantian Formation. As long as the secret secret of martial arts is opened, one can achieve true martial arts.”
Gu Yuanqing quietly operated his skills to consolidate his realm. After half an hour, he let out a long breath.
“These days, I have read a lot of books and gained a lot of insights into practice, but I still have little idea of how to start Zhenwu practice. At this time, I am like a blind man touching an elephant, unable to get a full picture of it. .”
“Still have to. Find a way to get a real secret book of practice, otherwise even if I have superior understanding, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."
With all kinds of thoughts, he entered the state of mountain viewing again, and saw that the old servant was no longer in the house. I guess I dug into the crack again.
“There must be hidden mysteries underground in Beiquan Mountain, but I am not yet able to sense them.”
Gu Yuanqing watched the mountains every day, and his connection with Beiquan Mountain became closer and closer. When he calmed down, he seemed to be able to vaguely feel the rhythm of the entire mountain, opening and contracting like breathing.
The virtual image in his mind became clearer and clearer, like a mirror reflecting the entire Beiquan Mountain, and the range of his induction gradually spread towards the foot of the mountain.
“The so-called mountain viewing means that Beiquan Mountain is constantly blending with my consciousness. If one day, Beiquan Mountain and I become one and can control it as desired, then Beiquan Mountain will no longer be just a residence, but... a dojo. ! "
An hour passed, and Gu Yuanqing "saw" that the old man had found nothing.
“It’s time to go to sleep. Tomorrow there will be another delivery from the mountain. I hope there will be useful books.”
The next day, after Gu Yuanqing practiced, he looked at the intersection going up the mountain from a distance. When he saw the young eunuch, he walked over quickly.
Before Gu Yuanqing could speak, the eunuch waved his hand, and a sergeant pulled out a large pile of books from the basket.
"Thank you, thank you so much. It's a pity that I am here on the mountain and have nothing to offer, so I cannot repay my father-in-law and the soldiers." Gu Yuanqing took it with a smile on his face.
The young eunuch was about to show a smile, but he immediately suppressed it. Then he turned around and winked at the sergeant, and the group hurried down the mountain again.
Gu Yuanqing looked a little embarrassed, thinking: "Even if you are worried about what I will say, it won't be like this, right?"
Gu Yuanqing took the books back to the study room as usual, and put them on the bookshelves in categories.
When Ke got a book, he suddenly froze.
"Returning to the One Secret of Heart Zen?"
Gu Yuanqing picked it up and flipped through it, and found that it was actually a book of practice methods!
From the Yuanshi realm to the Zhenwu realm, and even the methods of breaking through the masters are all included.
The words in the book were not printed, but hand-copied. The handwriting is beautiful. Judging from the color of the pen and ink, it was clearly written in recent times.
Look at the back, there are explanation notes, explaining one by one what needs to be paid attention to in each level of small realm.
"This seems to be written for me. Who is it? The handwriting is clearly written by a woman. Could it be Yuanying?"
Gu Yuanying is also a concubine of the royal family and has a close relationship with Gu Yuanqing. To be close.
"Probably not. The method of cultivation that leads directly to the master can only be practiced completely by the legitimate son in the palace. The art of returning to one heart and Zen has never been heard of in the palace. Judging from these remarks, it is also It’s definitely not something that a noble scholar can write. What’s more, a concubine from the Gu family can’t send this thing up the mountain!”
"Could it be..." A thought flashed through Gu Yuanqing's mind, and then he shook his head to deny it. He had never known her, so if something like this happened, not killing him would be considered merciful.
After thinking for a long time, Gu Yuanqing was not sure who sent it.
"Forget it, this cultivation method can be regarded as solving my urgent need. If I learn about it in the future, I will express my gratitude." Gu Yuanqing hurriedly put the other books on the bookshelf, and picked up this secret book again to study it carefully.
The book only has tens of thousands of words, but every time he reads a few sentences, Gu Yuanqing has to turn to the back to check the notes and explanations.
Around 1:00 p.m., Gu Yuanqing finally saw the end of the volume.
“Fortunately, there are annotations. If I were given only one secret book, I would probably be confused. There are all kinds of metaphors, code words, and fake words in the book. Ordinary people would not be able to figure it out if they got it. I understand."
Putting down the book, Gu Yuanqing took the notes he had compiled a few days ago and compared them with the secret books he read today, and gradually got an idea of the next path to practice.
“The Heart Zen Gui Yi Jue is obviously a level higher than the Xuantian Kung Fu I practice. It requires tempering seventy-two acupoints to reach the ninth level of Yuanshi.”
“Zhenwu The secret treasures are divided into six levels; They are Human Martial, Earthly Martial, Tianwu, Xuanwu, Shengwu, and Shenwu Secret Treasures. Tempering the thirty-six acupoints of Xuantian Technique can open up the Tianwu Secret Treasures, and the Heart and Soul Returning Technique has the possibility of opening the Xuanwu Secret Treasures!”
Gu Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"I currently have three choices. This Heart Zen Guiyi Jue contains the method of refining the spirit, and the method of finding orifices, fixing acupoints, and sensing secrets. I only need to learn a few things from them, and I can use Xuantian Kung Fu as a guide. The foundation opens the Tianwu Secret Store. "
"The second option is to practice the Heart Zen Gui Yi Jue and re-temper the acupoints, which may open the Xuanwu Secret Store. "
"As for the third one...the legendary holy martial arts and divine martial arts of the Master of Xuanwu Secret Treasures!"
Gu Yuanqing thought carefully about his path of cultivation, and after a moment he whispered to himself: "Using Xuantian Gong as the foundation to open the Tianwu Secret Treasure must first be eliminated. The possibility of becoming a master on this path is too low!
I am imprisoned here now. I am not in danger for the time being, and I am not in a hurry to become a true martial artist. With the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with my current qualifications, I can re-temper the acupoints very quickly!
When my cultivation qualifications and understanding improve again in the future, I may not be able to... Then let’s keep the two and fight for the third! "
After making the decision, Gu Yuanqing re-study the secret of returning to oneness of mind and Zen.
"These seventy-two acupoints are the same as those of the thirty-six acupoints I tempered earlier. There are eighteen acupoints, which means I still need to temper fifty-four acupoints. The journey is long, but it’s worth it! ”
……
The wind and clouds are calm outside, but the years are long in the mountains.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Yuan stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched out his hand. Several birds jumped on his hand, flying up and circling around him from time to time, and then landed on his shoulder and head, pecking at his head. hair.
His demeanor is leisurely and contented, elegant and elegant, which is more and more in line with the green mountains.
Reading, practicing, practicing swordsmanship, watching mountains, or you can do nothing all day long, just lie on the cliff and look at the scenery, look at the sky, and be in a daze.
"It's quite nice to be in this mountain. I can be with the mountain, walk with the birds, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and don't worry about my deception or danger."
"I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have no worries. Is it flatter than lying in the palace?"
Gu Yuanqing smiled, lowered his head and looked at the foot of a tall pine tree on the cliff, which was the location of the newly dug cave. This was already where he saw it. We've arrived at the third place.
With a thought in his mind, he turned around and looked back, and the figure of the old man appeared in his eyes. At this time, he was carrying water, but his eyes were looking at where Gu Yuanqing was.
Gu Yuanqing smiled slightly, maybe he was worried about whether I would discover the mystery below.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the surrounding birds flew away.
Gu Yuanqing closed his eyes, and the entire scene of Beiquan Mountain came into view. Compared with a few months ago, he and Beiquan Mountain were more in tune with each other. It seemed that he only needed an opportunity to become one with the mountain. .
In his body, all the seventy-two acupoints of the Heart Zen Guiyi Jue have been tempered, but he is in no hurry to become a true martial artist. His understanding of the way of cultivation is not what it used to be, and many of his insights are gathered in Deep down in his heart, a method that is most suitable for his practice has taken shape!
