Chapter 11: Eleventh Air Entrainment
If there is any difference in the early morning in Hengyun World, Zhao Chun feels that it is probably because the air is fresher.
Pushing open the Xuan window, the three senior sisters have already received their errands and gone out. Yesterday happened to be the end of January, so they had a day off. Normally, they would have to go out before dawn and return after sunset.
With so many hours taken up every day, the pace of practice naturally slows down. The handymen are diligent and can only get fifteen stones in a month. Life is tight, so I have to continue to immerse myself in it. Go ahead and sink in day after day.
Zhao Shun closed his eyes and concentrated, sighing.
"Why are you sighing all the time?" Zhou Pianran pushed the door out of the room and invited: "Let's go have breakfast first. After that, we have classes."
Prepare the disciples to have a large class and a small class. There are small classes twice a month, taught by disciples who have officially started, and large classes once every ten days, taught by elders in the foundation-building period.
It was the first day of the new year, and there was a small class that started at Chen hour and lasted until the end of Wei hour, with no breaks in between.
The teaching location is in the classroom behind the disciples' quarters. The disciples of Feihu Small World are divided into thirty-nine courtyards. Each courtyard has a thousand people, and the seats are sorted according to their cultivation and talent.
The ones in front are naturally the senior brothers and sisters who have reached the third level of Qi training in the courtyard and are about to enter the middle stage, then the second level and the first level of Qi training, and finally those who have not yet introduced Qi into their bodies. Newcomer.
When the cultivation levels are the same, those with better talents will be ranked higher.
Zhao Chun's position is behind the first-level Qi training disciples and in front of most newcomers. When she arrived, there were already many people, and she quickly found a place to sit down, which was in the middle of a row of old desks.
There were people sitting on the left and right, all with unfamiliar faces. Peng Zheng was in the back row of her, and the other two Sanlinggens in Feihu Small World were sitting closer. Unfortunately, Zhao Shen didn’t recognize them and couldn’t speak to them.
There are always advantages to walking alone. She took out the Synaesthesia True Consciousness Dharma Sutra from her cloth bag, spread it out on the table, and memorized it silently.
In the lobby where thousands of people were gathered, the first half was completely silent. The newlyweds in the second half did not dare to make any noise, and only whispered to get to know each other.
Zhao Chun was closing his eyes and concentrating on both sides, but there were two talkative ones in front of him. Their voices were high and low, like the senior brothers who had learned first were answering questions.
“I would like to ask my senior brother, what is the method for teaching this class?”
“Our college has always been a great disciple in the late stage of Qi training. Senior Brother Xun Xian teaches, he is the Three Spirit Root Water He is a monk, so he is more detailed in teaching water magic. Senior Brother Xun has ten years of teaching experience, and there are few outsiders who can surpass him in the basics of practice."
"This Xun. "Brother Xun, how are you doing?" >
In this way, it is a bit like some professors in Zhao Chun University.
The teacher just talks, whether students learn or not depends entirely on their consciousness. The good ones are better and the bad ones are worse. Polarization occurs in the classroom.
When Zhao Chun came in, he saw the monks on the third level of Qi training in front of him. They ranged from children of her size to young men of seventeen or eighteen years old. The combination of innate talent and acquired hard work resulted in such a wonderful phenomenon. scene.
She memorized the diagram of meridians and acupuncture points twice more, and Xun Xian came in with his hands behind his back, sat down cross-legged on the stage, and said: "Xun Xian, the top disciple of the outer sect, is responsible for the lectures in the Thirty-ninth Academy."
He is a senior brother in terms of seniority, but his disciples will not really call him that. They all call him "Sir Xun" to show respect.
Xun Xian was worthy of being in the late stage of Qi training. He had the basic knowledge at his fingertips, such as introducing Qi into the body and cleaning pulse points, and explained it in great detail. Zhao Chun was afraid of missing it, so he only dared to write down some notes while he was drinking tea in the middle.
While listening and writing, some things that were not mentioned in the Dharma scriptures have already become clear to Zhao Chun.
In addition to attributes, spiritual roots also have potential. Some people’s potential is equally distributed to each type of spiritual root, but some people will focus more on one or two attributes. Zhao Xun himself is a man of metal, fire and wood who emphasizes metal and fire, but he can choose one of them as the main cultivation attribute. For example, Xun Xian, wood, water, earth and three spiritual roots, emphasizes water alone. He focused on practicing the water attribute and finally achieved something.
So the spiritual roots that have a certain emphasis are better than the spiritual roots with equal attributes. Zhao Chun wrote down the two words "gold and fire" on the paper, and probably chose one of them to practice.
It is not that there are no monks with multiple attributes, but it is too troublesome to practice. She needs to break away from her status as a preparatory disciple before making other considerations.
The content of introducing Qi into the body is only at the beginning of Xun Xian's lectures. The following is more knowledge about meridians and acupoints. Zhao Chun listened to the important ones, focusing still on his own needs.
After talking about theoretical knowledge, it’s time to clear up doubts. The newcomers were all digesting the rather large lecture contents, and those who were really confused were mostly the disciples on the second and third levels of Qi training.
Zhao Chun understood it almost, and just wanted to go back to the room to practice it. He raised his head and looked behind him. Most of the students who had just entered the school had a sad face and wanted to immerse themselves in the book. Several of them were lying on the desks, sleeping soundly.
The others had nothing to do with her, except for an acquaintance, Xie Baoguang, who was holding his head on his hands and squinting his eyes half way up.
But he is not asking for anything, Zhao Chun shook his head.
The bell rang three times, which meant that the half-month lesson was over. Xun Xian didn't care if there were still disciples who needed to answer their questions. He stood up and said: "That's it for today. If you still have questions, I'll wait until the next class." Give me some more answers!"
The disciple watched him go out and said in a low voice, "How can you remember what happened in the next hall?"
Zhao Xun was thinking in his heart. Xunxian is full of useful information, which is very useful for new monks like her.
The only drawback was that get out of class did not end in the middle. She and Zhou Pianran were empty-bellied and hurriedly packed their things and headed to the cafeteria.
After dinner, it was no time to return to the house. Zhao Chun closed the door and prepared to start introducing Qi into the body. According to what Xun Xian said in the book, you must first activate your spiritual roots, sense the surrounding spiritual energy, and then slowly draw it into the Dantian.
Zhao Shun closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
After losing her vision, her other senses became particularly keen. She could feel the warmth from her palms on her knees, as well as the old and slightly decaying smell of the house's wood.
I can’t see anything, but I seem to see everything.
Three colors appeared in the darkness in front of me. The golden and red shadows entwined and bitten each other, leaving the verdant green shadow trembling and hiding underneath.
Zhao Shun secretly thought that this should be a success in stimulating the spiritual roots. Then he looked around and saw gray mist floating in the darkness, flowing like water.
She wanted to touch it, and a glowing hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The hand was not big, and she could tell that the owner was a child, and it was her own hand!
The field of vision floated upward, turning from her hands to her body. The plain white fluorescence outlined the outline of her body in the darkness. Three shadows rushed into her abdomen, but the mist completely bypassed her and flowed outside her body.
Man is the spirit of all things. When he is born, there is still a trace of innate aura. However, as he grows up, the aura dissipates and the filth of the world seeps into the skin and flesh, blocking the meridians, acupoints and even the skin. People no longer have a spirit. Fall into mortal form.
The way of a monk is to rise from the mortal body and become a spiritual body again. The first step in maintaining the body in "The True Consciousness Sutra of Synaesthesia" is to dredge the skin and flesh and build a bridge for the entry of spiritual energy. .
Zhao Shun tried to draw the spiritual energy closer to her body, but to no avail. The mist circled around her body without entering at all.
Looking closely, there are still dots of black spots on her body, blending into the black background, like small holes.
It seems that there is something wrong with the step of keeping in good health, and it does not meet the standard of entraining qi.
Knowing where the problem lies, the rest of the task becomes easy. Zhao Shun stopped sensing inspiration. After taking three deep breaths, he turned to silently reciting the mantra to continue nourishing his body.
On days when there are no classes, Zhao Shun stays in the house to practice most of the time, but Zhou Pianran is restless. She has a gentle temperament, is quite sociable, and has made some friends in the Hemerocallis Garden. friend.
When the two of them are together, she likes to tell Zhao Chun the new news she has learned, so that Zhao Chun will not completely separate from the outside world.
For example, Zheng Chenqing, who made Elder Lin couldn't help but be delighted at the beginning. After meeting the leader, he found that he was extremely suitable for practicing the sect's secret skills. He was accepted by the leader as his direct disciple, and he rose to the top in one step.
Another example is the elder Qiu they met on the day they came to Hengyun World. Her name was Silhouette. She was still in her infancy when she was adopted by the master. With the resources of three spiritual roots, she broke into the world at the age of twenty-five. During the Ning Yuan period, he was also famous in the Hengyun world.
What Zhao Shun heard the most was the trivial matters of the struggles among the disciples of the Lingzhen Sect.
There are many sects in Hengyun's world. In addition to sects, there is also a family system supported by great monks. They are closely connected with the sects. The elders in the family serve as elders, and the younger ones become disciples of the sect.
Disciples with backgrounds behind their backs are naturally different from ordinary people. The outer sect of Lingzhen sect is vaguely divided into three types of disciples: small world origin, Hengyun world origin, and Xiuzhen family origin. Their status and honor increase from front to back.
All the thirty-nine courtyards are from small worlds, so the atmosphere is more peaceful. In some courtyards, disciples from the three lines coexist, and fights often occur.
Zhao Shun did not want to get involved. He only focused on cultivation and hoped to become an official disciple as soon as possible. He also asked Zhou Pianran to stay away from disputes. There was no one behind them and no one could be offended.
"I understand. I only ask about this occasionally and don't dare to attract other people's attention." Zhou Pianran had a gap in her heart and knew how powerful it was inside.
She held a cup of hot tea in both hands and asked: "How are you doing over there? I have seen you become more and more withdrawn recently, always staying in the house and not coming out."
It has been seven days since I started practicing the health formula, and the dark spots all over my body have completely dissipated. Zhao Chun felt that it was almost done, so he said: "Success or failure depends on tonight, I am fully sure!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news. ! Senior Sister Lian also said that after you become a formal disciple, you will give them some easier things to do. "
"Senior Sisters treat me sincerely, and I will never let them down." Zhao Xuan cultivated hard. During her days, the senior sisters took good care of her and took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although they were betting on her, their kindness to her was real.
It was night, and Zhao Shun was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Cui Lan'e found it for her from the warehouse. It was inconvenient to practice on the bed, so the monks always prepared a futon instead.
The body, as bright as white jade, is located in the darkness. The surrounding mist is no longer as repulsive as before, but surrounds the skin, tentatively touching it.
Zhao Shun knew that this was the opportunity, and immediately activated his spiritual roots, and the long shadows of three colors condensed into a vortex, pulling the spiritual energy towards his body.
The spiritual energy was frightened at first and was unwilling to obey. After sensing the goodwill released by Zhao Shun, he hesitated to move forward. Finally, under the constant attraction of the spiritual vortex, he chose to penetrate it!
Zhao Shun felt more energetic and began to breathe on her own!
One thing leads to another. The spiritual energy gradually enveloped her and moved towards Dantian in the spiritual vortex. It no longer rejected her, but became close to her.
At this point, the introduction of Qi into the body is completely completed, and Zhao Chun has officially entered the path of spiritual practice, becoming a first-level monk in Qi training!
