casket of old days

Chapter 10 Entry

"The secret talisman of the Purple Mansion?" Qiao Zhi shook his head when he heard the words: "However, the word 'lu'... usually includes the official position of the gods, real name, Rituals of the Ritual Festival, and inscriptions on casting spells, right?

Those are all Taoism, what is needed for the cultivation of the divine way. In the 25 orthodox method, there are also Taoist techniques that belong to the divine way, but I have never heard of the secret script of the Purple Mansion. It should be something that is not popular. Where did you hear it? "

Chu Qiguang smiled to hide his disappointment: "I heard it from a few old men at the entrance of the village before."

He thought in his heart: "The Secret Talisman of the Purple Mansion may be my only hope to return to Earth, and I don't know if I can still find it."

"Those old men know how to brag and fart all day long, just listen to what they say." Qiao Zhi continued: "Let's talk about cultivating the Tao. There are many ways to get started in the world, and each school has its own way to get started. There are countless precepts, scriptures, rituals, and qi refining. But these are too messy, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between the realms.

Fortunately, the founding father of the Han Dynasty, Zhongwuhou Qi Mingde, was ordered by the emperor to collect Taoism from all over the world, and used ancient scriptures to divide the spiritual realm before entering Taoism into five levels. "

Just listening to the flick of the cat fairy's tail, the voice sounded in Chu Qiguang's heart like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening: "It is for the five realms of concentration, tranquility, tranquility, and worry."

"Today, I will teach you the first step to enter meditation. You must not underestimate this first state. Many practitioners may not be able to enter this state after sitting in meditation and reciting sutras for more than ten years."

"But after all, you are an exiled immortal in the sky. If you practice hard, you should be able to do it in ten days."

Hearing what Qiao Zhi said, Chu Qiguang's heart was beating secretly. His family knew his family affairs, and he was nothing like a fairy in the sky, but an old fritter on earth. How could he have any talent in cultivation.

"If I practice kung fu for ten days and a half months, I don't have any achievements. I don't know if this cat will doubt my identity..."

Chu Qiguang had already sat cross-legged under the guidance of the other party, closed his eyes, and could only hear the whistling night wind and Qiao Zhi's voice from the bottom of his heart.

"Ordinary people walk, sit, and lie down, thinking a lot, and all kinds of distracting thoughts are endless.

The first step in cultivating the Tao is to get rid of distracting thoughts, settle down, not be disturbed by external objects, and keep the altar clear.Meditation can also replace part of sleep, and persistence can enhance memory and response, making you sharp and flexible.

However, it is still difficult for you to reach the state of samadhi when you practice the Tao for the first time.Now write a quiet word in my heart first, and try my best to gather all the thoughts until only this quiet word is left in my heart..."

After a while, Qiao Zhi stopped suddenly, looked at Chu Qiguang who was motionless in front of him, and said in surprise: "You actually got into meditation for the first time? This breaks the first level of cultivation? I have seen the ancestor There are quite a few wizards and geniuses, but the fastest one took four full days to successfully break through the first stage, this kid's aptitude is too good."

"Worthy of being a banished immortal descending to earth, with a lot of talent."

The orange cat kept licking its fur happily, and said with a smile while licking, "It's all right, now I'm sure to let you enter the Tao within five years, and there will be another top-notch cat lover in the world. "

Chu Qiguang feels that he is not thinking about anything at the moment, but he understands his own situation and the surrounding environment very clearly.

In this state of samadhi, he felt his body and mind relaxed, and his brain seemed to have unloaded countless burdens, and he was in an unprecedented cultivation.

But after a long time, Chu Qiguang felt distracting thoughts in his heart gradually rising again, his forehead seemed to be a little itchy, he could hear the wind constantly in his ears, his waist was a little sore, and his stomach kept feeling hungry...

As distracting thoughts abounded, Chu Qiguang finally couldn't bear it any longer and withdrew from the state of trance.

Seeing how he opened his eyes and scratched his face, Qiao Zhi smiled and said: "Although you have successfully entered meditation for the first time, but the spiritual realm is not a permanent proof, and there is a danger of falling if you are not careful. So it is more necessary to guard the heart at all times.

The so-called conquering the country is easy, but defending the country is difficult. The same principle applies to cultivation.If you can maintain a state of meditation anytime, anywhere, you have broken through the second level. "

Chu Qiguang recalled the feeling he had just entered into samadhi, and said happily: "Cultivating the Tao is so simple? Are there no such mysterious and mysterious things as spiritual energy, golden elixir, and Yuanying?"

"Easy? Do you know that it's just this step, and I don't know how long it has stopped ordinary people. If it weren't for your past life wisdom, it wouldn't be so easy."

Qiao Zhi explained: "As for the mysterious and mysterious things, they can only be comprehended by real masters. Because human language can no longer describe the state they have reached, learning that kind of thing at your current level is a dead end. Learning 100 Don't even think about cultivating real things for a year."

After explaining casually, Qiao Zhi changed the topic again and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk less and continue to practice.

Every meditation is the ultimate relaxation and maintenance of the spirit. People usually think too much, and the spirit is too tired every day. Only in this way can the spirit be strengthened every day.

Just like the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, the key lies in the word "raising". Only when you eat well, drink well, and get enough sleep every day can soldiers become strong.

And meditation is the best maintenance for the spirit, the so-called rejuvenation is also. "

Qiao Zhi flicked his tail, continued shaking his head and continued: "If you insist on maintaining your spirit every day, your spirit will gradually become stronger, and your memory and reaction will increase bit by bit in the future. If you persist in daily meditation for a long time , you will become more and more discerning, your mind will be more flexible, and you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in everything you do.”

Chu Qiguang closed his eyes, and tried to practice concentration again, but this time it was more difficult to achieve concentration than before. There were always distracting thoughts in his mind, and it took a long time before he entered the state.

After entering meditation, Chu Qiguang once again felt a kind of relaxation of the whole body and mind, and his brain was also fully cultivated.

After about a cup of tea, Chu Qiguang couldn't bear the agitation in his heart again, and withdrew from the state of samadhi, stood up and moved his hands and feet, and was urged by Qiao Zhi to continue practicing.

Just stop practicing like this, Chu Qiguang felt that it was getting more and more difficult for him to enter meditation, and every time before entering meditation, there were more and more distracting thoughts, various heartbeats, itchy skin, and even the feeling of the night wind blowing over his body, all were overwhelmed. Infinitely magnified, so that his heart can no longer calm down.

Finally, after exiting the samadhi state again, Chu Qiguang found that he was extremely irritable and couldn't get into samadhi again.

Seeing his state, Qiao Zhi judged: "You have reached your limit. If ordinary people reach this point, they will not be able to continue practicing today, but I naturally have a way."
