Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"Lin Beichen, can you walk slower? I can hardly keep up with you." Xia Luyao couldn't help but complain.

Lin Beichen looked back at her and responded with a smile: "I didn't ask you to follow me. If you can't keep up, then don't follow me."

"You..." Xia Luyao was speechless for a moment, feeling that Lin Beichen's words sounded a little strange.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Beichen looked at her puzzledly and asked.

"It's okay." Xia Luyao pursed his lips and responded in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go, we'll be there soon." Lin Beichen didn't think much about it, turned around and continued walking.

Xia Luyao looked at Lin Beichen's back and cursed in his heart, "bastard", couldn't you just wait for her a little while?

The two walked for a few more minutes and finally reached the end of the mountain road. Xia Luyao looked up and saw an old Taoist temple standing in front of him. On the door beam of the Taoist temple's gate hung a severely peeling plaque, on which the three large characters "Xuanzhen Temple" could be vaguely seen.

"It's here!" Lin Beichen said, pointing at Xuanzhen Temple.

Xia Luyao looked around the Taoist temple and couldn't help but sigh at its oldness.

It was hard for her to imagine that Lin Beichen actually grew up here.

"Let's go in."

Lin Beichen said as he pushed open the old door and walked in.

Xia Luyao followed closely into the temple.

"Why is this Taoist temple empty? Where is your master?" Xia Luyao asked puzzledly after looking around.

"Maybe he went out to travel, he often does this." Lin Beichen said casually. In fact, he didn't have a master at all, and the previous excuse was just to avoid being eaten and drunk by others.

Xia Luyao nodded after hearing this, without any suspicion. She remembered that when she watched TV before, those old Taoist priests really liked to travel around.

"Let's go, I'll help you clean the guest room first." Lin Beichen said as he took Xia Luyao to the guest room. Since he had never lived here before, the guest room had never been cleaned. When the two opened the door of the guest room, a cloud of dust blew in their faces.

"Puff" the two raised their hands and waved in front of them at the same time and took two steps back. "Lin Beichen, how long has it been since anyone has stayed in this guest room?" Xia Luyao couldn't help but ask.

"Anyway, I haven't seen anyone living here since I came here." Lin Beichen replied with a light cough. Xia Luyao was speechless.

The two of them spent a lot of effort to clean the guest room. Then they started to prepare lunch. Considering the limited conditions on the mountain, Lin Beichen bought instant noodles in advance. Fortunately, Xia Luyao was not picky about food, so the two of them simply solved the lunch problem.

After lunch, the two of them wandered around the yard with nothing to do. "It's pretty boring on this mountain." Xia Luyao sighed, "By the way, Lin Beichen, what did you do in the Taoist temple before? Was it so boring too?"

Lin Beichen thought for a moment and answered casually, "It's OK. I usually meditate after dinner. Time passes quickly and I don't feel bored." "Meditation?" Xia Luyao's eyes flashed with curiosity and doubt. She had only seen meditation on TV before and always thought it was just a trick played by scammers. But since she met Lin Beichen, he has subverted her perception time and time again.

Many things she didn't believe before were actually confirmed. Could meditation be real? ... "Lin Beichen, can you really meditate?" Xia Luyao asked curiously. Lin Beichen nodded and said, "Of course you don't believe it?" Xia Luyao looked at him and slowly said, "I haven't seen anyone who can really meditate, so naturally I don't believe it."

"You have seen it now." Lin Beichen said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, I will teach you how to meditate today. Then you will know if it is true or not."

Xia Luyao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay." She also wanted to see what meditation was all about and whether it was as magical as what they said on TV. Seeing that Xia Luyao agreed, Lin Beichen took her directly to the Zen room and began to teach her how to meditate.

The two of them walked into the meditation room of the Taoist temple, each found a cushion, and sat opposite each other.

"When meditating, the first thing is to concentrate your mind and clear your mind of distracting thoughts. First close your eyes and do as I say." Lin Beichen instructed Xia Luyao in a calm tone.

Xia Luyao nodded in agreement. Although she was a little confused, she still closed her eyes as she was told, trying to clear her mind of disturbing thoughts and pursue inner peace.

Lin Beichen also closed his eyes and slowly began to guide: "First, you need to clear all thoughts in your mind, then feel the flow of life in your body, and breathe deeply and steadily."

Xia Luyao closed her eyes and followed Lin Beichen's guidance, but she could not feel the state that Lin Beichen described.

"Why can't I feel the airflow you mentioned?" Xia Luyao couldn't help but open his eyes and asked in confusion.

She really couldn't feel any airflow. Was Lin Beichen playing a trick on her?
When Lin Beichen heard her question, he opened his eyes, looked at her, and then sighed softly.

"You can't feel it because your mind hasn't completely calmed down yet."

"But I've tried my best not to think about anything," Xia Luyao showed a confused expression, "How is it possible to have no distracting thoughts at all?"

Lin Beichen sighed again, and then explained in a more detailed way: "How about this, you put your hand on mine, and I'll show you how to experience it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and placed it flat in front of Xia Luyao.

Xia Luyao looked at Lin Beichen's hand, feeling a little hesitant.

Noticing Xia Luyao's hesitation, Lin Beichen asked softly: "What's wrong, don't you want to continue learning? It doesn't matter, if you don't want to learn..."

"No, I want to learn." Xia Luyao interrupted him hurriedly, then slowly stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on Lin Beichen's hand.

The moment her fingers touched Lin Beichen's palm, she felt the warmth of his palm and her heart couldn't help but tremble.

This was her first time having such contact with a boy!

This thought flashed through her mind, and Xia Luyao unconsciously looked up at Lin Beichen, a faint blush quietly creeping up her cheeks.

Lin Beichen was about to guide Xia Luyao into a state of meditation, but suddenly noticed the blush on her cheeks. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong with your face? Why is it so red?"

"Ah? I..." Xia Luyao raised his hand and touched his cheek. He did feel a little hot and felt a little flustered.

She hurriedly explained: "I, I just think this room is too hot and stuffy."

After saying that, she lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look Lin Beichen in the eye.

Lin Beichen looked around and nodded. The ventilation in this room was indeed not very good and it was indeed a bit stuffy.

"Okay, don't worry, once we start meditating, you'll feel cooler once you calm down."

After hearing this, Xia Luyao nodded randomly, hoping to change the subject quickly.

……

"Okay, now, close your eyes and relax your body and mind. I will guide you into the state." Lin Beichen said to Xia Luyao in a gentle tone.

The two of them slowly closed their eyes, and Lin Beichen began to use his true energy to slowly guide Xia Luyao.

Xia Luyao followed Lin Beichen's instructions and tried his best to relax himself and put aside all distractions.

Then, she was surprised to feel a warm air flow from Lin Beichen's palm slowly flowing into her palm. This air flow started from the palm, slowly flowing through her whole body, passing through her limbs and bones, and penetrating into every acupuncture point in her body.

Under the influence of this true qi, Xia Luyao felt as if the acupuncture points in his body were opened one by one, and he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

As the true energy flowed in her body, she felt her whole body filled with heat, as if every acupuncture point was awakened by this power.

After a while, the airflow gradually dissipated, and Lin Beichen's voice rang softly in her ears: "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

Xia Luyao slowly opened his eyes and looked at everything around him, feeling as if he was in another world.

"How is it? Did you feel it this time?" Lin Beichen let go of her hand and asked softly.

Xia Luyao nodded: "Well, I feel a stream of air flowing through my body, as if all the acupuncture points in my body have been opened up."

"See, I didn't lie to you!" Lin Beichen looked at Xia Luyao with a smug smile on his lips.

Xia Luyao adjusted his neck uncomfortably and said calmly, "That's it. You do have some truth to it."

After this experience, she really believed what Lin Beichen said about meditation.

However, she didn't want this guy to be too proud, so she deliberately didn't act that surprised.

"That's all, right?" Lin Beichen frowned, feeling helpless after hearing this.

No way? He had brought her to experience it firsthand, but Xia Luyao still didn't believe him?

At this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in his ears.

【Faith value +1000. 】

After hearing the notification tone and seeing Xia Luyao's pretending to be arrogant, Lin Beichen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It seems that although his little apprentice didn't say it, he already believed it in his heart. This is really a double-talk!

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Luyao noticed the smile on Lin Beichen's lips and asked curiously.

Xia Luyao looked at the smile on Lin Beichen's lips with confusion, wondering in her heart whether he had seen through her heart.
Lin Beichen noticed the twinkle in her eyes, smiled and said easily: "I just think it's funny, what's wrong, Instructor Xia, you can't even laugh?"

"When should I care about your smile?" Xia Luyao was speechless. She didn't care whether he smiled or not.

Lin Beichen just smiled after hearing this, and then said bluntly: "I plan to continue meditating. If you want to join us, then continue. If not, then go out for a walk."

Xia Luyao thought about it for a moment and whispered, "I'd better meditate with you. There's nothing to see on this mountain."

"It's up to you." Lin Beichen responded calmly, then closed his eyes and began to meditate.

He has only reached the first level of the Tai Shang Jiu Zhuan Qigong he has been practicing. Recently, he has been meditating frequently to practice Qigong, hoping to break through to the second level as soon as possible. When he was in the military camp, the training was heavy, so he could only practice when he had time. Today, he finally had some free time, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.

Seeing that Lin Beichen had entered into a state of meditation, Xia Luyao also closed his eyes and began to meditate according to his instructions. The afternoon sun shone in obliquely, and the dust in the air fluttered in the sun. The two sat opposite each other, meditating quietly, and time passed quietly.

They meditated in the meditation room for the whole afternoon. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest. The night in the mountains was particularly quiet, and perhaps because meditation relaxed the body and mind, they both slept particularly soundly that night.

The next morning, the morning glow gradually dyed the sky red.

Xia Luyao got up early and took a deep breath in the morning light.

The environment in the mountains is indeed pleasant, with quiet nights and fresh air in the mornings.

After washing up, Xia Luyao went to the front yard to look for Lin Beichen.

"I wonder if he's gotten up yet." She muttered to herself as she walked. When she walked into the front yard, she saw Lin Beichen sitting in the open space, looking down in deep thought.

"Lin Beichen, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Xia Luyao asked curiously. When he got closer, he found a Bagua formation drawn in front of him.

Lin Beichen looked up at Xia Luyao and said calmly, "It's nothing. I was bored so I told him a fortune."

"Divination? What did you figure out?" Xia Luyao asked curiously. Last time, Lin Beichen's master predicted their mission to Yun Province, and the results came true one by one. She couldn't help but become interested in Lin Beichen's divination.

Lin Beichen looked at the Bagua diagram and said slowly: "We'll talk about it later, let's eat first." He was worried that once he told Xia Luyao about the hexagram, she might not be in the mood to eat.

"Why do you have to wait until later?" Xia Luyao asked in confusion. Lin Beichen glanced at her and said slowly, "Because I'm hungry." Xia Luyao was speechless and had to follow him to eat.

The breakfast was simple and delicious. Lin Beichen cooked porridge and boiled eggs.

After eating, Xia Luyao asked: "Lin Beichen, what are we going to do this morning?"

After learning meditation yesterday, she felt refreshed and developed a strong interest in Taoist practice methods.

Lin Beichen looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, go pack your things and get ready to go back."

Xia Luyao was surprised: "Go back? It's only morning now." They still have one day of vacation, why do they have to leave so early?

Lin Beichen explained: "I told you about your destiny this morning, and it turned out that you will have new tasks soon, so it's best to prepare in advance." Xia Luyao was skeptical, but at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.

When Xia Luyao saw that it was a call from the military district, he quickly picked up the phone.

"I am Xia Luyao!" she said in a firm voice.

"Captain Xia, this is an urgent mission. Please return to the military region immediately. I will explain the details to you when you return." An urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand. I'll be back right away." Xia Luyao responded. After hanging up the phone, she turned to Lin Beichen.

Before she could speak, Lin Beichen said, "It seems you have an urgent mission, go pack your things."

Xia Luyao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered Lin Beichen's previous prediction, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lin Beichen, besides knowing that I'm going on a mission, what else do you know?"

Lin Beichen smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "Some things, if you tell them out loud, will shorten your life."

Xia Luyao frowned and was about to get angry, but Lin Beichen continued, "However, considering our friendship, I will reveal a little."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Xia Luyao urged.

Lin Beichen spoke slowly: "This trip is related to the southwest. Amidst the swordplay, you will go to Manla Village. There, an evil force is wreaking havoc." (End of this chapter)
