Chapter 32: Visualization is not easy (please vote!)
In the room that smelled a little musty, Yu Que stood up straight.
The gray energy surged on his face and the flash of light in his eyes made him want to start meditating immediately.
But Yu Que resisted the impulse in his heart. He had been suppressing it all day long and was not in a hurry for this moment.
Next, he got up, fetched cold water, took a shower and wiped his body. After hanging a sign on the door, he locked the door and then took out the items he had prepared early in the morning.
It was a copper stove with half a container of incense ashes and an incense stick coated with gold paint.
Yu Que wore a loose Taoist robe, held the gold lacquer incense stick, lit it carefully, and inserted it into the copper stove.
This incense is not simple. It was given to him by the Refiner's Guild after he passed the refining test. According to Qian Huazhen, this incense alone is worth ten thousand yuan, and it has a price but no market. It is impossible to buy it on the market. No, it only circulates within the major guilds.
The name of this incense is "God-protecting Incense" and its material is unknown. However, after it was lit, the whole room was immediately filled with a sense of tranquility. Even the sounds in the surrounding area became much quieter and gradually disappeared.
It should be noted that the visualization practice of immortals is not a casual job, and there are many taboos in it, especially for immortals who are new to practice. If you are disturbed during the visualization, it can range from mental fatigue to schizophrenia, liver and gallbladder problems. Split, and even dance to death.
Therefore, when the immortals visualize, they must see no light, no wind, no fire, no knives, no cats, dogs, and people... It is best to hide in an underground stone room to isolate the inside and outside.
Otherwise, if a random gust of wind blows over while meditating, the person's soul may be blown away, and the person's body and mind will disappear on the spot.
This is because the newly condensed Yin God is extremely fragile and is no different from ordinary ghosts. Especially after leaving the human body, for the Yin God of the Xian family, the world is a purgatory of water and fire, and they must suffer all the time. torment.
In the Immortal Scripture compiled by the imperial court, there were many tragic cases.
Some people are very talented, and as soon as they meditate, their souls leave their bodies and form the Yin God. As a result, the Yin God has no incense to protect him, and it is like being naked in a cold pool. He is frozen on the spot, and then is directly breathed by his own body. Damn it.
There are also people practicing at home. However, the family members did not listen to the warning and insisted on serving tea and meals. As soon as the door was opened, the three souls of the practitioner were scattered and the seven souls disappeared without a trace. The practitioner immediately turned into a living dead and could never wake up again. Come.
There are also people who are sitting alone at home with no one or a cat. As a result, they are unlucky. At a critical moment, thunder comes from outside the house. The thunder directly shakes their spirits, causing them to bleed to death.
If the guild hadn't given him the God Protector Incense, which could create an environment like an underground stone chamber and even suppress the sound, Yu Que would never have dared to practice at home.
As soon as he was ready, he finally straightened his back, sat cross-legged, and made hand gestures, as round as yin and yang.
At this moment, the image of the sacred tree in Yu Que's eyes was shaking more and more, as if it was about to come out, but after adjusting his breathing a few times, he lowered his eyes to cover the divine light in his eyes.
The phantom of the sacred tree in his eyes was given to him by the Green Talisman in the refiner's guild, which could help him observe and memorize the visualization diagram as much as possible within seven days to avoid omissions and mistakes.
Such good things cannot be wasted, otherwise the study of the Contemplation Method will be incomplete and Yu Que will have no place to cry.
In the thick smoke, Yu Que soon felt like he was floating all over his body, and his body and mind gradually relaxed.
He felt that a huge pine tree appeared in front of him. Its trunk was curved like a dragon. Its light was white and yellow, and it was so majestic that it made his eyes become bright.
Yu Que looked up at the huge sacred pine tree, and he suddenly felt that he had become a small pine tree. His hands were his branches, his feet were his root system, and his hair was the top leaves of the tree. It was growing slowly. It grows towards the huge sacred pine, becoming more and more lifelike.
When he realized that his body already had some of the aura of the divine pine tree, Yu Que saw the spreading branches and leaves of the divine pine tree, and felt as if the other party was waving an invitation towards him.
So he had an impulse in his heart to leave the place and rush towards the other party.
Yu Que struggled in his heart, constantly imagining himself pulling out roots and shaking branches and leaves.
Suddenly, when he finally struggled out of the place and "walked" forward, he suddenly felt like he was on the air, trembling violently, and a great sense of fear also hit his heart.
At this time, the phantom of the divine pine in front of him shattered, revealing the yellowed wall of his bedroom. His body was leaning forward, almost falling off the bed.
At this moment, wisps of protective incense, and the smoke they burned, penetrated his mouth and nose like wisps of snakes and insects, nourishing his doubtful and horrified mind.
Just now, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave and almost froze to death or fell to death. Fortunately, a cloud of air flew in just in time, held him up in time, and sent him back.
Yu Que's face tightened, and he realized just now that he might have been in danger from his thoughts and almost lost his soul. Fortunately, he had lit the incense to protect the gods beforehand. After pondering for a long time, his complexion improved, but his brows were still tightly knitted together, and his expression was not good.
Yu Gaoqiao said to himself in disappointment: "It seems that I am indeed not a person with the talent of 'becoming a Taoist in one day' or 'becoming a Taoist in one meal'. I am just an above-average person."
Just now he encountered danger and almost lost his soul, but this also proved that his qualifications were better than ordinary people. After the first visualization, his soul was aroused.
Yu Que's soul is so sensitive, as long as he is not lazy to a certain extent and constantly meditates on the divine pines within three years, he will definitely be able to cultivate into a Yin God and enter the path of immortality in the future. This point is exactly in line with Huang Guishan's judgment.
However, in the face of such a situation, the gloom in Yu Que's eyes became even stronger.
He is a person who will take the exam at the beginning of the year. It is already the depth of winter, and he only has three months to complete his exams. He really couldn't spend three years just working on visualization methods.
In an instant, Yu Que's eyes flickered: "Since I'm not a genius and I don't have time, I can only work on crooked ways!"
He was thinking of the various methods of auxiliary visualization mentioned by Huang Guishan and Qian Huazhen.
These methods are all through external objects, or stimulating the human body, replenishing the essence and brain, nourishing the soul at the expense of air and blood loss, or taking medicine stones to harmonize the soul with the power of the medicine stones.
In addition, Qian Huazhen once talked with Yu Que enthusiastically about the "Fangzhongshu" method, which is to touch the human soul through the intercourse of yin and yang and indulge in bliss, and then allow the practitioner to successfully jump out of the body. , concluded the Yin Shen.
According to what the other party said, many refiners and apprentices in the refiner's guild have tried this method with each other. If his old man hadn't been too strict, Qian Huazhen would have tried the Fang Zhongfa practice long ago.

In addition, the yin and yang objects that can be reconciled by the method in the room are not very limited. In addition to human beings, they can also be beyond common sense, such as fierce ghosts and evil beasts.
In the history of the Seventh Chamber Refiner's Guild, there was a refiner who had low qualifications, but was famous for being able to subdue evil foxes alone, and was given the title of "Expert at Subduing Foxes".
This person's reputation spread throughout the Huangshan area, and even spread in other immortal capitals and other immortal cities.
Later, with extremely poor soul qualifications, this person successfully entered Taoism in just one year. Not long after becoming a master, he was specially recruited by Huangshan Taoist Palace. Now he is practicing immortality on Huangshan Mountain and competing for immortality.
In the wisps of green smoke.
Yu Que sat alone, thinking about the above method carefully, and his heart was ready to move.
However, while these methods are quite effective, they also have serious drawbacks.
For example, if you use the method in the room to promote visualization, it is only a small matter to waste your essence. If you are not careful, you may get a stroke or go crazy, and then you will lose your fortune and die in an dishonorable way.
Yu Que thought hard for a moment, unable to make up his mind, so he simply suppressed these distracting thoughts and breathed in the protective incense to clear his mind.
In the middle of the night that followed, he repeatedly tried to meditate on his own, but without exception, it had no effect.
It seems that due to familiarity, his soul is not as sharp as when he first visualized it, but has become like a stone, weighing heavily in the cavity of his body.
Yu Que had no choice but to start thinking about using external forces to promote visualization practice.
He waited until it was completely dawn, then hurriedly left the house and rushed to the Master Refiner's Guild to read various books.
On the first day, he collected several prescriptions such as Shengzhi Pills and Kaiwu Powder and compared them.
As a result, he discovered that the medicinal stone materials used by his predecessors were either lead and mercury, or strong medicines such as Fushou ointment, which he could not easily take now. A single mistake could result in intestinal rupture, abdominal discoloration, and shortened life span.
On the second day, he studied the magic spells such as the Awakening Talisman and the Brain-Raising Charm, but it made him dizzy and felt that his brain was not enough. Moreover, these methods were of mixed quality and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
On the third day, he continued to search and made many friends. He would not refuse any secret recipe that could help with visualization practice...
Finally, on this day, Yu Que determined the concept of external force that suited him:
"Seven Corpses Returning Light"!
