Chapter 61: Big ambitions
Seeing Zhu Guangfa and his daughter leaving, Shen Shenyuan couldn't wait to call out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner again.
A ray of merit went up to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The golden light, like a golden dragon, shuttles and rolls on the surface of the flag, repairing the Ten Thousand Souls Flag.
The originally dark purple flag surface now glowed with golden light, making it even more luxurious and extraordinary.
Merit is like snake oil, it can be transformed into anything you want and the effect you want.
Therefore, the remaining ray of merit was not used by Shen Siyuan to repair the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, nor to condense his magic power, but to temper his body.
The reason for this choice is that there is no spiritual energy in this world. Even if there is magic power, it is like a rootless duckweed. It will not make any progress unless it has a lot of merit and is converted into magic power, like a bottomless pit.
Using merit to temper the body is like taking a great tonic without any side effects. This is the best way for him to lay the foundation for his weak body.
Coupled with his own training, he will be able to achieve some success in the "Eighteen Signs of the Great Arhat" in a short period of time. This is more cost-effective than using it to condense magic power. After all, there is still a way to reach heaven in external cultivation. , the road to internal cultivation has long been cut off.
As a ray of merit blessed him, Shen Shenyuan did not feel refreshed. Instead, his whole body itched, his joints suffered severe pain, and his muscles spasmed. He screamed in pain, fell to the ground, and shed tears, as if he was having epilepsy. wind.
The severe pain that penetrated into his bone marrow was as if someone had cut his body open with a saw and broken all his bones with a hammer.
Shen Siyuan knew in her heart that this was actually a kind of growing pain. Just like teenagers, when the body is growing, some joints will be accompanied by pain. This is because children exercise a lot and their bones grow too fast.
In fact, Shen Shen Yuan's bones and muscles had already been formed, but now they were broken. A vitality burst out in his body and began to grow again. This process was compressed into a very short period of time, so Shen Shen Yuan could I feel extremely painful.
Just because he knew it, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and assumed the first posture of "The Eighteen Phases of the Great Arhat".
Each of the eighteen phases of the Great Arhat has not only one action, but six actions.
These six movements represent the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind respectively, which are the six roots of Buddhism.
Therefore, the Eighteen Signs of the Great Arhat include a total of one hundred and eight movements.
The first posture in the first phase originally made Shen Shenyuan sweat like rain. Now, not only was it easy to complete, but he also directly completed the six movements in the first phase.
It wasn't until the third movement of the second phase that I got stuck and felt a burst of hunger in my abdomen.
This is already a great improvement. You must know that in the past few days, his first posture had already consumed a lot of energy, and his belly was like a fire. If he forced it down, his body would be seriously exhausted, and he might even lose his life.
But now it was just a ray of merit that allowed him to directly cross the first phase and reach the second level of the second phase.
As I meditated on the exercises, the pain disappeared, and I just felt that my whole body was clear, I stretched my arms and made fists, and my whole body was full of energy.
He lowered his head and touched his abdomen. His originally round belly now showed eight-pack abdominal muscles. He stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly. It felt as hard as iron.
I didn't expect that the first phase had such an effect, and I couldn't help but feel happy even when I was thinking about it.
If you can master all the eighteen phases, in modern society, you will definitely be regarded as a little superman.
However, this requires a lot of merit. Although a ray of merit allows him to reach the second level of the second phase, it seems that it does not require much merit to practice eighteen phases.
But it cannot be calculated this way. The further the Eighteen Signs go, the more difficult it becomes, and the more merit it requires.
I opened the refrigerator and found some high-energy food to replenish my body's energy. The hunger just now disappeared.
Seeing that his whole body was soaked with sweat, he took a change of clothes and entered the bathroom.
Water sprayed down from the shower head, along the top of his head, across his cheeks, and down his shoulder blades.
Shen Shenyuan suddenly clenched his fists, and his whole body tensed suddenly. The water flow immediately seemed to be vibrated by sound waves, turning into small water droplets, shooting out in all directions.
"It's great..."
Shen Siyuan stretched out his arms and sighed in his heart, this is a real man.
But he suddenly thought of the two rays of merit tonight. He could understand that he helped Du Xiuzhi fulfill her wish.
The other thread was just a promise to Zhu Tingting to help her mother re-enter reincarnation, and she could actually gain merit.
You know, this has not happened yet, it is just a verbal promise.
This reminded him of the myths and legends in which the Forty-eight Great Aspirations of the West were enacted and achieved sainthood.
So can I just follow the gourd's example and get credit from Heaven?
Thinking of this, Shen Siyuan's heart couldn't help but pound.
He turned off the shower and stood in the bathroom, naked like this, with a serious expression: "If I attain the Supreme Path, I will definitely restart the cycle of reincarnation, so that all sentient beings, good and evil, will eventually... have compassion for the world, and help others." Save all sentient beings..."
Then——
Shen Siyuan felt that he was a big idiot, a big fool who was naked and swinging a big pendulum. He felt embarrassed and almost dug out two acres of land with his toes.
Even if I think about it, I think it is impossible. If I make a big wish, I can become a god or a saint.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
So from ancient times to the present, I don’t know how many saints can be born in this world.
Through this method, not everyone can achieve enlightenment and become a saint. If you want to get credit, you must have the qualifications.
And Shen Siyuan was able to obtain certain merits through his promise to Zhu Tingting, which shows that he is still qualified, but not much.
Just like a bank's credit line, there is a certain limit, but the limit is not large. If you want to borrow a large amount, it will definitely not be possible, but for a small loan, it should still be fine.
Moreover, the reason for the loan must be pragmatic, with clear goals, and cannot be false or empty, in order to "borrow" merit.
After thinking about this, Shen Siyuan quickly turned on the shower and continued his unfinished business.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Doudou hurriedly getting in through the window with a gust of wind.
"It's not good, it's not good..."
"What's wrong? You're in a panic." Shen Siyuan said speechlessly.
"Brother Sweet Potato, I saw a strange old grandpa."
"Is there anyone stranger than you?"
Doudou:→_→
"Okay, don't squint at me with your little eyes. Tell me, what's going on?" Shen Siyuan picked up a towel and wiped his hair.
"I saw an old man holding a feather duster. He was chasing me. I was so scared that I ran away..."
"Feather duster?" Shen Siyuan was very surprised when he heard this.
"What feather duster?"
"It's just like a lot of Maomao. I've seen it at my grandma's house. Grandpa said that it was used to beat my uncle's butt when I was little. I asked grandpa to try to beat me. Grandpa hit me, but it hurt..."
Doudou Guala Guala said a lot.
"So you're telling me that an old man is chasing you with a feather duster and wants to spank you?" Shen Siyuan looked embarrassed.
But he was thinking to himself, could it be that Doudou met another strange person who could see ghosts?
