Imagine the world

Chapter 252 Liu Xiahua

This stone pavilion is much more majestic than the square pavilion with four ridges and pointed roofs in Fufeng Garden. It is made of pure white stone with fine and smooth body, and it is actually a structure with double eaves and hip roof.

The eaves are nearly nine meters long and five meters wide, with the bridge as the base, and the front and rear pavilions are the bridge railings.From the perspective of Changti, there are two columns on the left and right. If you look at the direction of the bridge hole from the water, it is the front. There are four columns on the left and right, and there are eight stone columns in the pattern of three rooms and one entrance.

Hua Zhenxing came from under the big willow tree, and there was a pair of couplets engraved on the two stone pillars on the east side——

The Wind Moves Thousands of Silks and Listens to Willow Colors

water painting thousands of ripples watching sparkling sound

When Hua Zhenxing saw this pair of couplets, he couldn't help but stop, and was in a trance for a moment.It's not that he read it wrong, the inscriptions on the stone pillar are "listen to the willow color" and "watch the sound of Lin".How does Liu Se listen?Listen to the wind to know its shape, know its color from its shape, feel its spirit from its color, and its spirit is alive.

This sentence contains the realm of "close your eyes and listen to the shape", and it has a deeper meaning.And closing the eyes and listening to the shape is Hua Zhenxing's summary and formulation of the first-level assessment standard of Yangyuanshu.

Yang Yuanshu formula was taught by old man Yang, but many related things were verified and explored by Hua Zhenxing himself.Old man Yang never said that he could be issued a certificate for practicing the Nourishing Technique, and he has never heard of such a thing since ancient times.

Since ancient times, the realms of practice, one to nine realms are also called respectively in alchemy Taoism: Inner Vision Realm, Shape Refining Realm, Great Medicine Realm, Alchemy Realm, Returning Realm, Golden Soup Realm, Fetal Movement Realm, Infant Realm, Yangshen Realm.

To practice each level of realm, you must go through kalpas. For example, to reach the inner vision, you must first go through the kalpa of lust. , bone-changing calamity, and bitter sea calamity.

After going through the sea of ​​suffering and cultivating to the Yang God Realm, it is the end of the mundane law, and one step further is the legendary soaring through the heavenly punishment.These old men Yang usually introduced them to Hua Zhenxing as if they were telling stories, and Hua Zhenxing himself had read about them in many Daoist materials.

The levels of Yangyuanshu assessment roughly correspond to it, except that the fifth level and transition level are divided into five and six levels, and the step-by-step assessment standards will be formulated in the future.But on the other hand, it is slightly different from alchemy practice.

Of course Hua Zhenxing is aware of the existence of these doomsdays in practice, but the formula of Yangyuanshu does not deliberately emphasize these doomsdays, it just tells the practitioner what to do in each link.

Yang Yuanshu minimizes the influence of these catastrophes as much as possible. The main purpose is only the realm that can be reached by the body and mind. Even if the cultivation of each level is not successful, as long as the practitioner's physical and mental state is in good condition, usually there will be no problems in cultivation, at least after becoming This was the case before the senior master of nourishing Yuanshu.

This is like an unlimited number of upgrade qualification exams, and you can pass the exam when you reach the level.

Since ancient times, practice has been difficult and dangerous, the difficulty lies in the cultivation base, and the danger lies in the inevitability of doom.If the problem of doom and danger is not resolved, it will be impossible to carry out large-scale promotion, let alone incorporate it into the curriculum of compulsory education.

Calamity is not about any accidents encountered in the process of practice. Although many times it happens in the form of accidents, it is inevitable, as long as one takes a certain step, it will inevitably happen.

For example, before getting started, the so-called sex y does not only refer to sexual desire, but sex can refer to "real objects".The feeling of starting to practice nourishing Yuanshu is vitality, and the effect is sharp senses. As the vitality becomes more and more sensitive, the disturbance and stimulation of external objects will become more and more intense, and one's own emotions and desires will be invisible. enlarge……

If you don't go through this step, you won't be able to cultivate your senses beyond ordinary people, and you won't be able to talk about all subsequent cultivation realms.

So what to do?Do whatever you want!Speak clearly so that everyone at the beginning of practice knows what they will face and why it will happen?

From the perspective of cultivating Yuanshu, it is enough to be a normal person. In this state, maintain a normal behavior, experience it well, gradually adapt, and return to the normal state while maintaining the normal state.

What if you can't do it?That is, it cannot be practiced!There is a characteristic of Yangyuanshu. If you fail to practice it, it’s no big deal. Just continue to be a normal person. Even if you don’t get the first-level certificate, you can exercise your body and mind and prolong your life.

There is another characteristic of the so-called kalpa, it is not that it doesn't matter if you achieve this level of cultivation, but it runs through the whole practice.For example, S Yujie, even a peerless expert, as long as he is still in the world, will also be affected by emotions and desires.

When Hua Zhenxing saw this couplet, the first thing that came to his mind was the Nourishing Technique he had practiced and the assessment standards for each level he had formulated for it.

The willow color moving in the wind can not only symbolize the closed-eyed listening form in the first-level assessment, but also the spiritual consciousness drawing form in the second-level assessment, and it can also symbolize the physical touch in the third-level assessment standard.As for the fourth-level assessment standard, lighting up the luminous beads with mana is actually a magical form... What about the next level?

What Hua Zhenxing practiced was not just Yangyuanshu. The road he walked was much more difficult than the later learners. When he reached the bridge, he suddenly felt touched. After standing still for a while, he walked to the center of the pavilion.

In the center of the pavilion is a soft straw mat, which looks like the handicraft of Uncle Mo, but there is nothing else.Hua Zhenxing sat down on the straw mat.

In the small courtyard with bamboo fences in the distance, old man Yang came back with Manman, and first planted a row of peppers on the lower ground.When the vegetable field was finished, old man Yang rubbed his hands with a satisfied expression.

Taking advantage of his old man's happiness, Manman asked: "What did Xiaohua do wrong, you keep punishing him not to eat?"

Old man Yang smiled: "I didn't punish him, I just asked him to fast. Sometimes you have to practice bigu, otherwise you can't sit for many days. Fasting for three days, then you should be almost done."

Manman asked curiously, "What is Bigu?"

Old man Yang: "I also have to teach you. Although it is impossible to truly bigu if you are less than the seventh level, and you don't have to be bigu when you reach the seventh level, it is also necessary to start in advance."

Old man Yang explained the bigu technique to Manman again, and the way he explained it was different from when he taught Hua Zhenxing last night.After the lecture, Manman was still thinking about it. Although there were still some things she didn't understand, she had remembered it and knew how to practice.

Manman, who was thinking, inadvertently looked up into the distance, and suddenly asked, "Why is Xiaohua missing?"

Hua Zhenxing was sitting in the gazebo, and Manman's eyesight was also very good, and he could see it from this position.What she was talking about was just a feeling that Hua Zhenxing seemed to be no longer there, as if invisible.

Yang Tehong: "With the magic of the magic circle, his body and spirit have been integrated into this world. He is running the magic circle and not running the magic circle, so you have this feeling...Leave him alone, and don't bother him." He, go to the front and help me build a loofah shelf."

Manman: "You always want to grow loofah? Great, I still remember the loofah soup that Xiaohua made!"

Hua Zhenxing was sitting in the bridge pavilion, when a gust of wind blew by, the big willow trees at the head of the bridge fluttered over the stone pavilion.His position is actually the center of the Yangyuan Valley formation, and the Fufeng Pan is placed in the center of the bridge arch under the seat, and he is experiencing this world through the Fufeng Pan.

He had a similar feeling in Sanhu Town, and he could clearly perceive everything in the magic circle, as if it was everywhere.But now that the Fufeng Pan is placed here, the three old men have initially built a more mysterious cave formation. He can detect everything in Yangyuan Valley through the Fufeng Pan, but it's just to find out, and he doesn't have any other actions.

So old man Yang said that he was operating the magic circle and not running the magic circle, just like a person who is breathing without deliberately breathing.At this moment, Hua Zhenxing is actually experiencing a feeling similar to the "inner vision" at the beginning of his practice, but the content of inner vision is different.

At the beginning of practice, one experiences desire and calamity, the senses become more and more acute, and the turmoil and stimulation of the outer edge become more and more intense. The movement becomes clear and observable gradually, this is the so-called inner scene, that is, inner vision.

Completing the inner scene to nourish the vitality, make the five internal organs, qi and blood flow to achieve a congenital perfect health state, and eliminate hidden injuries and hidden diseases, this is the state of physical training.After practicing the form, all the senses can be connected and spiritual consciousness will be born. When the fire is pure, the primordial spirit will manifest itself, and can detect and control external objects. Even if you sit in the room, the primordial spirit can see everything outside the body. This is the so-called external scene.

The last time I came to this valley, Hua Zhenxing realized an unprecedented state, as if he had turned into the consciousness of heaven and earth, feeling and understanding the existence of everything (see 115 for details, vivid and colorful), that is his breakthrough of the four realms opportunity.

But at this moment, his form and spirit seemed to have really transformed into this world, as long as the area covered by the Yangyuangu formation was his form and spirit.

He could hear and see what old man Yang and Manman said and did, including everything that happened in the valley, but he turned a blind eye and heard nothing.

He has now accurately known the scope of the formation.This valley is more than ten kilometers long and several kilometers wide, but this is only the area of ​​the valley at the foot of the mountain, while the scope of the Great Array is much larger, with the surrounding ridgeline as the boundary, the longest point is about [-] kilometers, and the widest point About ten kilometers, with a total area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers.

All of this was originally an exterior scene, but now it seems to have become an interior scene in form and spirit. The exterior scene and interior scene are integrated, and there is no difference between sound and color.

What needs to be emphasized is that this is not a kind of imagination, not imagining the state of heaven and earth in my body and spirit, but a kind of practical experience.If imagination is used instead of experience, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive the catastrophe of the demon realm, break through the four realms, let alone a higher realm.

Hua Zhenxing can't do this with his own cultivation alone. How could his spiritual consciousness cover an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers? He only had this kind of experience with the help of the ancient formation. status.

With the help of the Fufeng Pan and the Yangyuan Valley formation, Hua Zhenxing turned this world into an interior scene in form and spirit. This is the feeling he only had when he broke through the five realms of cultivation, and he realized it in advance.This is a kind of silent advice. Only after some realms have been experienced, do I know what I should do.

In the past three days, Hua Zhenxing did not just sit still. Although his soul is strong, it is impossible to always urge the Fufeng Pan to transform the form and spirit into a heaven and earth covered by the entire formation.He basically maintains a normal schedule, cooking for old man Yang every day, Manman consciously helps out, and the two also help with farming.

There are more than 20 irregular vegetable fields scattered in the small courtyard, which add up to less than three acres. It is actually easy to handle with old man Yang's great magic.But his old man didn't. Instead, he let Hua Zhenxing and Manman help him plant the plants one by one.

Even if Hua Zhenxing and Manman don't use supernatural powers, their hands and feet are very agile.Manman also helped Mr. Yang build four armchairs and two coffee tables, which were placed on both sides of the main room and can be used for entertaining guests in the future.

Hua Zhenxing has been fasting in bigu all the time, except for drinking clear spring water, he has not eaten anything. He collects and refines the essence of life in the world every day to cultivate his body and spirit. This is the fundamental formula of nourishing vitality.The man also looked a little ignorant, always distracted, and seemed to turn a blind eye to everything, but he was not seen walking and hitting the door.

In the early morning three days later, Hua Zhenxing felt that his body and mind were clean, and walked up the embankment again to the couplet.This time he didn't enter the stone pavilion, but just sat down under the big willow tree.The sensuality and color are all in one body, and all sounds enter the form and spirit, and then enter a state of mystery and mystery.

This sitting for three days and three nights, he didn't move at all.In the morning three days later, the rising sun slanted from the east, but there was a drizzle in the sky.

The willow trees that haven't yet sprouted new leaves can't stop the rain from falling, but the rain bypasses Hua Zhenxing's figure and doesn't wet his clothes at all.But at some point, the situation suddenly changed. The rain fell on his hair and body, and he seemed to have merged into the misty rain.

At this moment, this world turned into the inner scene of Hua Zhenxing's Yuanshen.The scope of the Yuanshen inner scene is the area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers covered by the Yangyuan Valley formation.This time Hua Zhenxing didn't use the Fufeng Pan, let alone the big formation in Yangyuan Valley, he didn't do that in the past three days.

With an epiphany at this moment, he himself has reached such a state.

　Please take a leave tomorrow and continue to update the day after tomorrow.
