Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 9 Cultivate the idea of ​​visualization, visualization of the true self!

There are no secrets in the palace!
Even if Dagan Shengtianzi has issued an order to keep silent, no one is allowed to talk about the theft of the emperor's seal.

However, many people still saw Xu Yan's six firework warnings, and the scene where Habayashi Guard Commander Zhongyong Hou He Guang found the bronze box from Feng Bao's body.

Even Xu Yan, a hundred households of the Habayashi Guard, became famous in the entire Divine City in an instant, and was known by many people.

The immediate consequence was that before Xu Yan could return to his military dormitory in the palace with his thoughts on mind and soul, he was surrounded by a group of Habayashi guards who watched, congratulated, questioned, and sniffed.

"What are you all doing here? Everyone, everyone. There is an order from the commander-in-chief. No one is allowed to discuss or inquire about what happened tonight. Violators will be severely punished!"

Just when Xu Yan was having a headache.

His superior, Du Bo Yang Cheng of the Habayashi Guard came over, shouted everyone away, and rescued him from the enthusiasm of the Habayashi Guards.

Dubo, the position of military officer in the Dagan Dynasty, can command 500 troops, equivalent to five hundred commanders, and the imperial court is a general of the eighth rank.

Above Dubo, there are captains, school captains, superintendents, generals, etc.

"I've seen adults!"

Although Xu Yan has been transferred to the imperial court by Yang An, the Holy Son of Heaven, and awarded the post of sixth-rank school lieutenant, the rank of military commander is still higher than that of Du Bo, Yang Cheng.

But before the imperial decree was issued, he was still just a small head of a hundred households, taking orders from Yang Cheng.

"No need to be too polite!" Yang Cheng waved his hands kindly, and praised with a smile: "Xu Baihu is worthy of being the grandson of the old general. He is not only courageous, but also meticulous and discerning. !"

Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "My lord is too praised, how can a humble job deserve such praise, it's just good luck."

"Haha, luck is also a part of strength. Xu Baihu has made such a great contribution tonight, and he will be on the top of the sky in a short time. Don't forget me, an old friend!"

Yang Cheng joked, his eyes full of envy.

He also felt that Xu Yan was lucky enough to get such a great achievement for nothing.

If it was me who was guarding the Donghua Gate tonight, I would also be able to find out that the eunuch Feng Bao was wrong, and even use the power of the Five Elements Armor to directly capture Feng Baona's rebellion without releasing six fireworks as a warning to attract The whole palace was in chaos.

It's a pity that, as the captain of Habayashi Wei, I was only on duty during the day, otherwise the credit would definitely be my own.

Yang Cheng said sourly in his heart, like everyone else, he thought that Xu Yan was lucky to be able to take such a great contribution for nothing and be rewarded by the Holy Son of Heaven.

"How could it be? Your Excellency's kindness to me, I will always keep it in my heart, and I will never forget my lord no matter what."

Xu Yan said solemnly, but what he thought of was that when he first joined the Habayashi guard, the guy in front of him made things difficult and excluded him, so that he had been in the job for a month, and he was on duty for 28 days at night, and he didn't even have the chance to go out of the palace and return home. .

Such a great kindness, he has always kept it in his heart.

Hearing the word "graciousness", Yang Cheng's face was also a little unnatural, and he smiled awkwardly: "Ah Yan can think so, naturally it is the best, I also strictly follow the requirements of your father, and I have strict requirements on you. The most important thing is to allow you to integrate into the life of Habayashi as soon as possible and become a talent as soon as possible."

When Xu Yan heard such shameless words, he laughed without saying a word. He just looked at his boss quietly, as if saying, "Make it up, keep making it up, do you think I believe it or not?"

"Haha, it's getting late, Ah Yanyou should go to bed earlier."

"The commander-in-chief said that in view of your performance tonight, you are allowed to take a rest for ten days, and you don't have to go on duty tonight. I will personally guard the Donghuamen later."

As if Yang Cheng didn't see it, he just laughed and said, conveying the commander's order.

Take a rest for ten days?
When Xu Yan heard this, his face showed surprise, and he couldn't help thinking about what Uncle Zhongyong meant?
Is it true to give yourself a vacation and let yourself rest?

Or do you want to lure the snake out of the hole, use yourself to fish, and lure the person behind the purple-robed eunuch Feng Bao?

"Thank you sir!"

Xu Yan kept pondering in his heart, but said with a grateful expression on his face, he made up his mind that during the ten-day vacation, he would not go anywhere, and just hide in the barracks of the Imperial Palace Habayashi Guard and practice hard.

After a few polite conversations.

Xu Yan sent Yang Cheng away and returned to his room in the barracks.

Habayashi Guard Hundred Households, although they are only the lowest rank among military officers of the imperial court, they are still an official after all, and they don't need to squeeze into the Datong shop with ordinary Habayashi Guards.

This also made it easier for Xu Yan to practice martial arts and cultivation in secret, without worrying about affecting too many people.

After Xu Yan returned to the room, he calmed down, took out the jade box from his bosom, and began to practice the thoughts of the Ten Thousand Dao True Self Gods and Spirits.

This is a divine conception.

The only difference is that the facial features of the gods are hazy, and the eyes, nose, mouth and ears are also very hazy and illusory, as if there is nothing, just like a faceless god.

However, when Xu Yan carefully observed the portrait of the faceless god on the animal skin scroll, there was a strange force that made him fall into it involuntarily, and the faceless god on the animal skin scroll also gradually changed and manifested. In addition to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, eyebrows, etc.

The facial features manifested, and there appeared a portrait that made Xu Yan feel extremely familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar.

"This is?"

"Is this what I looked like in my previous life?"

After a while, Xu Yan finally figured out why the portraits of gods on the animal skin scroll were so familiar.

Because this portrait of the faceless god is exactly the same as his face in the previous life, it is completely the biggest portrayal and plot in his heart.

Project the real me, visualize the real me!
Thinking of the core of the thoughts of the Myriad Dao True Self Gods and Spirits, Xu Yan had a great understanding in his heart.

Obviously, some kind of magic has been performed on this animal skin scroll. No matter who it is, when practicing the Ten Thousand Dao True Self Gods and Spiritual Thoughts through the animal skin scroll, it can manifest the self-appearance in the depths of its heart.

Replace the portrait of the faceless god with his own portrait.

Taking one's own body as the object of visualization, continuously accumulating spiritual power and soul power, and finally sensing the existence of soul power, stepping into the first realm of Taoist practice, the Taoist realm.

Taoist, Taoist, mage, real person, celestial master, celestial being!
These six realms are the six great realms of the spirit and immortality. At the end of the practice, one can achieve the status of the heavenly immortal among the five immortals of "Heaven, Earth, God, Man and Ghost".

Among them, the Taoist boy senses the soul power, the Taoist priest condenses the soul, the mage cultivates the magic power, the real yin god emerges from the body, the celestial master manifests his true form, and the celestial immortal casts the yang god!
What Xu Yan has to do now is to use the spiritual will left on the animal skin scroll to record the first portrait of the true self in his mind, cooperate with the meditation method, visualize the true self, and sense the existence of thoughts and soul power .

Of course, the so-called thought and soul power can also be understood as a person's spiritual power.

Turn the invisible spiritual power into a tangible soul.

This is obviously not an easy task.

Therefore, in the conception of Myriad Dao True Self Gods and Spirits, only after the first visualization of the nine visualizations has been completed and completely imprinted in the heart, can the existence of soul power be sensed and step into the realm of Taoism.

And the sign of the great success of the first visualization map of the idea is that the existence of the visualization map can be portrayed in the mind instantly after the thought arises.

The following eight visualization pictures are a gradual process of the first visualization picture, through continuous adjustment, increase, and change of the way of visualizing the patterns to enhance the power of the soul.

Calm down, calm down, stay calm...

Xu Yan emptied his mind and concentrated his attention on the first picture of the real self god on the animal skin scroll. With the help of the magic of the animal skin scroll, he quickly completed the picture of the real self god in his mind.

Immediately, a lot of visualization experience skills floated in his mind, which gave him a deeper understanding of visualization ideas.
