Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 402 Practice

It's quiet at night.

With a "whoosh" sound, Zhang Miao woke up from her sleep.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and listened to the silent night outside. He suddenly smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Buddhism is really terrible, and it almost made me fall. I didn't come here to understand Buddhism!"

"I'm here to look for Magu... we can't get the priorities wrong."

Over the years, Zhang Miao has become so stupid in reciting sutras that he almost doesn't even distinguish between priorities. Fortunately, today my dream came back to me, and I finally remembered my main mission.

From that day on, Zhang Miao began to deliberately slow down his progress. His performance also slowly changed from second place in the elite class to fifth, ninth, and even to the bottom.

The decline in his grades made the monk who had been paying attention to him very anxious. He had to send someone to comfort Zhang Miao to see if there was anything wrong with him.

However, at this time, Zhang Miao had already understood the priority of the matter. He said to the visitor with some sadness: "Tell Master Shenzhi that I feel that my studies are very heavy now and I am already a little overwhelmed. I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with the progress."

After hearing this, the visitor conveyed Zhang Miao's meaning to the monk Shenzhi. Monk Shenzhi was also very depressed. Why did the seedling he was optimistic about suddenly fail?

Monk Shenzhi must have never heard of the story of "Injuring Zhongyong". In the days that followed, Zhang Miao continued to study hard, but her grades got worse and worse. She once again got low grades in the quiz in the class, and was finally thrown from the elite class to the ordinary class.

After entering the ordinary class, he received a lot of looks. People who fell from the elite class to the ordinary class will naturally receive cynicism. But Zhang Miao didn't care about this. He continued to study and waited for the third Buddhist exam.

The third Buddhist exam came as scheduled, and Zhang Miao got an average score as expected. If his grades are not good, he will naturally not be assigned to a good Buddhist academy and can only study in the Vajra Academy.

Kongangyuan is one of the eight courtyards of Honglian Temple. Each Buddhist temple in Honglian Temple occupies a "petal". The disciples of Diamond Temple are relatively slow to Buddhism, so they mainly practice "Vajra Dharma". They practice both Buddhism and Buddhism, but they have decided that they are not interested in Buddhism. If you are sensitive, you will not pay attention to the practice of Buddhism. The disciples who enter the Vajra Academy mainly practice Buddhism.

The so-called 'Vajra Dharma' refers to the Buddhist Dharma of Honglian Temple, which is the Buddha's Dharma Protector Vajra. The noble masters immersed themselves in the study of Buddhism, while the masters of the Vajra Academy wanted to protect the Dharma and Taoism and eliminate all uneasy factors. Generally speaking, those masters from high-level Buddhist monasteries go there to become Buddhas, while the masters from these low-level Buddhist monasteries serve as thugs for the more promising masters.

After Zhang Miao entered the King Kong Academy. He got a volume of the Diamond Sutra. In addition, he received a monk's bowl for eating, can now wear Xuanyi (that is, black clothes), and is allowed to move around Honglian Temple. But after entering the Vajra Academy, he had to do odd jobs. These chores include cleaning the temple, going out on business, protecting the mage, etc. Only after completing these chores will the courtyard continue to support him.

The noble Buddhist masters do not need to do this kind of work. They are still like novices and only need to study Buddhism seriously.

After entering the Vajra Monastery, the first ceremony is the initiation ceremony. Zhang Miao now has a 'professional title', which is the mage level. Then he can obtain mage-level mana through the initiation ceremony. This is the way of Buddhist practice. The realm of Dharma power is determined by the realm of Buddhism. As long as the realm of Buddhism is reached, the realm of Dharma power is within easy reach.

The initiation ceremony at the master level is not complicated and is hosted by each Buddhist temple. Zhang Miao and several newly promoted masters of the Vajra Academy knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and were hit on the head by the presiding master of the Vajra Academy with a stick.

This is called 'a wake-up call'. After being beaten, a pure Buddha power is instilled into the body, and the Buddha power is transformed into magic power, and this is it. Once you have Dharma power, you can practice Buddhism. At this time, you can follow the way of cultivation in the outside world, step by step, slowly accumulate mana, and then be promoted.

You can also continue to practice Buddhism, and when your level of Buddhism improves, you can improve your Dharma realm through initiation rituals again. But similar to Zhang Miao's situation, if he wants to be initiated next time, he will have to pay a large amount of resources to the temple.

After the initiation ceremony, Zhang Miao can formally practice the Diamond Sutra. This scripture is a scripture that strengthens the spirit and improves the body. After cultivating to an extremely deep level, his physical body is as indestructible as a diamond.

After he became a mage, the monk Shenzhi did not come to recruit him as a disciple, nor did he force it. But like other newly promoted masters, he worshiped an old master from the Vajra Academy as his teacher. This old teacher was already very old. His life was about to end and he could not teach much. After giving Zhang Miao and the others a few lectures, he asked Zhang Miao and the others to meditate and practice on their own. If they didn’t understand anything, they would go there. ask him.

In this case, practice naturally becomes difficult. But Zhang Miao didn't care. With his identity as a mage, he could move around Honglian Temple. Now that he had become ordinary, there were very few constraints on him.
-

Yehuo Honglian Temple is very big, and the whole temple is like a small city. Although the mage Zhang Miao can travel to most places, there are still many places that he cannot go to. For example, the residence of senior monks, the Sutra Pavilion, the pagoda forest, etc. Access to these places requires a pass.

Zhang Miao has a low status and weak strength, so naturally there is no way to enter such a place. Therefore, Zhang Miao decided to practice for a period of time.

Zhang Miao was unwilling to choose the orthodox Buddhist practice method. This path received too much attention and was not suitable for him. If the orthodox one doesn't work, then try the unorthodox one. Buddhist monks can also be promoted like Taoist monks by accumulating magic power.

In terms of spiritual practice, Zhang Miao thinks that she is no worse than others.

He set up a formation in his single dormitory to attract spiritual energy to gather. By reciting scriptures, the magic power is continuously improved. Zhang Miao is a person with "Su Hui". His cultivation speed is very fast and there are no bottlenecks. In just three months, he reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training.

After reaching the Great Perfection of Qi training, the next step is to build the foundation. Building the foundation in Buddhism is not called building the foundation, but opening the chakras. The so-called chakra is the abbreviation of three chakras and five chakras. The three meridians are the left, middle and right meridians, which are the channels of mana. The five chakras are the crown chakra, the throat chakra, the heart chakra, the essence chakra and the base chakra.

If it is a normal Buddhist monk, as long as the Buddhist theory reaches the master level, he can directly open the three chakras and five chakras through the initiation ceremony, and suddenly become a monk with fully opened chakras, which is similar to the perfection of foundation building. As for Zhang Miao, who has no theoretical cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, he can only open his own pulse and open his own chakra.

In Taoist practice, there will be elixirs to assist from the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage. There should be similar elixirs in Buddhism, but unfortunately, Zhang Miao did not find out about this. Almost all the monks here rely on initiation to achieve success in one step. After all, the Buddhist and Taoist theories that need to be mastered from a mage to a master are not too difficult. If it really doesn't work, you can just practice it for twenty or thirty years. Zhang Miao had no choice but to practice hard on his own. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Array, he relied on mana to open the central channel. Once the central channel is opened, Zhang Miao will enter the 'Foundation Building Realm'.

Sushumna is a very important nadi because it runs through the five chakras from the crown chakra to the base chakra. Among the five rounds, the Jing Wheel is the best for Zhang Miao. Because the Jing Chakra represents the 'energy' of the human body and is the source of power. The Diamond Sutra specializes in this.

If you want to open the Jing Chakra, you must reserve a large amount of Jing Qi. The source of energy is movement.

Life lies in movement. During movement, the nutrients of the human body will be converted into energy. If you have enough energy, you will be in good spirits, and your whole person will be positive and full of vitality.

Therefore, Zhang Miao chose to work in the kitchen of Jingangyuan. He first used a small formation disk he made himself and lied that it was brought by his family. Relying on this small formation, he bribed the master chef of the kitchen. Then he became a glorious cook.

After becoming a cook, stealing food is a matter of course. As the saying goes, if the cook does not steal, the grain will not be harvested. The monks in the Vajra Monastery practice the Diamond Sutra and need a lot of nutritional supplements every day. Most of these nutrients come from eating. Zhang Miao relies on her position to always keep a portion for herself when cooking.

As the saying goes, geese are better than plucking their hair, and water is better than drinking water. He would eat part of every meal that passed through his hands. Sometimes I even secretly turn on a small stove for myself. He secretly made the spiritual rice and spiritual meat in the kitchen. The master in charge couldn't say anything because he took his 'family heirloom', and even had to help him cover it up.

After eating and drinking like this for more than a month, Zhang Miao went from a standard figure to a fat man weighing more than 300 kilograms. When he felt that it was almost done, he quit his job in the kitchen, returned to his dormitory, and began to refine the body's nutrients into essence.

After three days and three nights of refining, his weight of more than 300 kilograms was reduced to less than 50 kilograms, and his whole body was so thin that only skin and bones remained. But his sperm chakra opened smoothly!

Once the Jing Chakra is opened, energy will be generated continuously, which can prevent people from feeling sleepy even if they don't sleep for a year, and they will not die suddenly from mental and physical exhaustion.

After the sperm chakra was opened, Zhang Miao spent a few days recuperating her body and returning her body to a normal weight. At this time, he will consider opening the second round - the bottom round.

The so-called bottom chakra is the plantar chakra. In fact, in the era when Buddhism was not yet established, it was the era of Buddha. The bottom chakra is the first chakra that most Buddhist monks open. why? Because in order to drive the bottom wheel, you need to keep your feet on the ground. Of course, this kind of keeping your feet on the ground is not a race walk. Instead, there must always be one foot standing on the earth, absorbing the earth's energy, thereby opening the bottom wheel.

This was not difficult for Buddhist monks at that time. Because the Buddhist monks at that time spent their time walking and begging, and they slept standing up. At that time, the Buddhist monks were working hard. They relied on begging for food to survive. It was very difficult to become fat like Zhang Miao and open the Jingchakra. Instead, the simplest thing is to walk every day to absorb the earth's energy. The first chakra to open is the bottom chakra.

Zhang Miao started walking non-stop in order to open the bottom wheel. He walked from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and then from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, wherever he could go in the entire Red Lotus Sect.

I walked like this non-stop for more than a month. Suddenly one day, a cool air came from under his feet, and the bottom chakra opened. When the bottom wheel is opened, it can absorb the air of the earth, and when combined with the fine wheel, it is a perpetual motion machine. After the bottom wheel is opened, it actually has some magical powers that allow it to walk through water without any trace or dirt. From now on, Zhang Miao will never have to worry about getting athlete's foot...

The base chakra and fine chakra are opened, and the next step is to open the crown chakra. The so-called crown chakra is the brain. Many monks who specialize in reading scriptures and studying Buddhism will unknowingly open the crown chakra. Therefore, the way to open the crown chakra is to chant more sutras and think more.

This aspect is not difficult for Zhang Miao. He is not really a fool, he just recites sutras. He sat in his dormitory every day and started chanting sutras continuously for twelve hours a day. It is said that if you read the Bible a hundred times, you will see its meaning. If you read the Bible more, even a fool can understand some truths in it.

After Zhang Miao read the Diamond Sutra unremittingly for a month, he finally realized it. Then the crown chakra opens, and a faint ring of wisdom rises behind the head. Monks who have opened the crown chakra will all have this vision, but some are obvious and some are not. Obviously, the obvious wisdom ring indicates that the person's crown chakra is stronger. Zhang Miao does not pursue the smartest master, so he only needs to open his crown chakra.

Once the top chakra is opened, it will connect with the bottom chakra. The uppermost chakra and the lowermost chakra are connected to form a cycle. Under this cycle, the left channel will naturally be opened.

After the three chakras and two chakras are opened, only the throat chakra, heart chakra and right chakra are left. In fact, as long as the throat chakra and heart chakra are opened, the right chakra will naturally be opened.

If you want to open your heart chakra, you must master the fact that your mind is as calm as water. But this is difficult to master. For some schools of Buddhism, such as Zen Buddhism, a calm mind as water is a compulsory course for entry. If you cannot master this ability, then there is no need to practice Zen Buddhism. But for Red Lotus Sect disciples, this is precisely the most difficult thing.

The disciples of Karma Fire Red Lotus Temple have the power of Karma Fire to burn their hearts. Whenever disciples want to meditate, they will be affected by the fire of karma, which is very difficult for them. Therefore, many disciples rely on initiation and directly skip this process. But Zhang Miao has to rely on herself.

Fortunately, Zhang Miao is not a pure disciple of the Karma Fire Red Lotus Sect. He has his own way of meditating and concentrating. After sitting for three days and three nights, he finally achieved inner peace and successfully opened his heart chakra.

There are two ways to open the last throat chakra. The first is to practice closed-mouth meditation and remain silent for six months and a year, and the throat chakra will be opened. The second is to speak openly, speak non-stop for twelve hours a day for one to three months, and the throat chakra will also be opened.

Zhang Miao did not choose to keep silent. This took too long. He chose a chanting room to chant sutras, and he chanted sutras non-stop, the kind of chanting without thinking. Finally, after a month and a half, his throat chakra also opened.

Once the throat chakra is opened, Buddhist monks will have a special charm when speaking. This is reflected in the fact that as long as these monks speak, others will hear them. As long as the monks think, then his words will be very clear in your ears and there will be no objection.

When the throat chakra and heart chakra are opened, the right chakra will naturally be opened. The three chakras and five chakras are fully opened, indicating that Zhang Miao is already a serious monk and is qualified to condense relics.
