[018] Cultivation tactics finally enter the avenue (2/2)
"Feng Yi, after this Zhongyuan Festival, I will go down the mountain to experience it."
"Ah?" Feng Yi turned his head, and Xu Ming's face was dim under the faint lights by the stream, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. "Well, this is a good thing." Then he met his serious eyes again. After thinking for a moment, Feng Yi, who understood, couldn't help laughing: "Well, I know what you want to say--thank you!"
Xu Ming nodded and said seriously: "You go up the mountain with me, I don't want you to fall halfway."
Feng Yi smiled a little more confident: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Xu Ming. Although you took a few steps ahead, I will definitely follow you!"
——
The next day.
As usual, Feng Yi got up to clean up and wash, then practiced sword skills in the courtyard for half an hour, and then went to the dining hall for breakfast. However, unlike in the past, he did not continue to go back to his room to read the scriptures today, but walked towards the main peak with the warm light of rising to the rising sun.
The time is ripe, and it is time to go up the mountain to pay homage to Master.
When Feng Yi reached the main peak, the sun shone brightly.
He found his master Shang Zhengliang in the backyard of Donglai Palace, but some surprise was that his uncle Tong Zhengning was also present. Two elders of the master sect sat in the courtyard, as if they were drinking tea and chatting.
Feng Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Disciple, please pay homage to Master, Uncle Tong!"
"You--" Shang Zhengliang didn't notice anything when he saw him at first, but after a few more glances, he finally noticed a faint change. He stood up in surprise, walked around the stone table in the courtyard and walked straight to him, "Good boy, did you really do it?"
"Senior brother?"
Tong Zhengning also stood up. Since she succeeded as the leader, she had not seen Shang Zhengliang so shocked and lost her composure. Her eyes also followed Shang Zhengliang and looked at Feng Yi. When she saw it, she felt something was wrong. A moment of surprise flashed in her eyes. After she looked carefully and confirmed it again, she spoke in surprise: "Feng Yi, you have such rhythm - can you have touched the 'mysterious' state of mind?"
Before Feng Yi could speak, Shang Zhengliang, who had been staring at him for a long time, said first: "Junior sister, you shouldn't be wrong! This kind of Taoist rhyme will be revealed only when Chuchu breaks through and can't control it at will - this must be a 'mysterious realm'!"
"But, how is that possible?"
Tong Zhengning's face, which was indifferent on weekdays, was incredible astonishment. She looked at Feng Yi, who was in front of her and said, "How could the 'Mysterious Realm' be so easy to understand?" Shang Zhengliang said, "Well, you can encounter the 'conscious obstacles' before you practice. It is not unacceptable to comprehend the 'Mysterious Realm'? But I did not expect that he would make a breakthrough so quickly!"
Tong Zhengning was silent for a moment, and finally calmed down. He sighed when he heard this: "I remember that he had just been up the mountain for four or five years. It's really unbelievable!"
"Master, uncle?"
Feng Yi saw the two division commanders talking and left him aside, and couldn't help but speak out to show his existence.
"Well, Feng Yi, you get up first." Shang Zhengliang replied with his expression on his face, but the shock in his eyes could not be concealed. "Are you here today to tell your teacher about this?"
Feng Yi said: "Master, I have been lucky enough to understand something, and I can accidentally break the 'mystery'. I am here to ask Master, can I start practicing?"
Shang Zhengliang looked at him deeply and said, "The 'mysterious realm' is not a 'lucky', and it can be easily broken by 'accident'. You can break this realm in just a few years, and you are proud of your teacher, which shows how diligent you practice on your daily life. - As for your practice, if you have a 'mysterious' state of mind, the 'conscious obstacles' should no longer be an obstacle. Well, today, I will be a teacher for your time, so I personally protect you. You can enter into meditation and practice here!"
Feng Yi took a deep breath and focused his attention: "Yes, Master!"
Shang Zhengliang took the cushion and put it down in this quiet courtyard, giving it to Feng Yi to meditate and practice. After Feng Yi bowed again, he sat cross-legged in the cushion and slowly closed his eyes. He had been waiting for five years at this moment, and he had been a little impatient.
However, when practicing, it is most important to avoid being impetuous and unable to calm down. Feng Yi spent some time adjusting his mind, and then tried to relax his mind and enter into the "synchronicity" of practice using the method of "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao". Not far in front of him, Shang Zhengliang carried his hands on his back, and Tong Zhengning looked at Feng Yi with his eyes focused, both staring at Feng Yi.
"I've entered into a state of meditation."
Shang Zhengliang said in a vague way. Tong Zhengning, who heard the sound, turned to look at him. However, he, who was focused on the changes in Feng Yi, did not notice the flash of his expression in his junior sister's eyes.
Yes, as Shang Zhengliang judged, Feng Yi quickly entered a state of tranquility and ethereality that he had never experienced before after trying for a while. The feeling was very wonderful. He seemed to have lost his perception of the outside world and his perception of time for a while, but his mind was unprecedentedly concentrated and awake.
Then, as if in a moment, Feng Yi felt that the world he was in had undergone a huge change - the world widened, and he himself turned into dust and merged into the world, and an unprecedented vision occupied his entire vision!
That is, the spiritual energy that spreads like silk threads between heaven and earth!
Enter into meditation, and then immediately become "synchronicity"!
Tong Zhengning also saw the changes in Feng Yi's body and whispered in surprise: "It's worthy of comprehension that I have first realized the 'mysterious realm'. From 'entering meditation' to 'synchronicity', it's almost the same time! I think he may be able to 'induce qi into the body' today, and his luck is everywhere!"
After hearing this, Shang Zhengliang couldn't help but speak: "If it weren't for this, the 'Mysterious Realm' would not have become the only way for his fellow sects to break through the 'Shangqing'. At first, I thought it would be great if he could understand 'Mysterious' within ten years, but who would have thought it would be only five years-" If Feng Yi had heard Shang Zhengliang's words at this time, he would have been very surprised.
Indeed, in the past five years, Feng Yi gradually understood that the "mysterious realm" was more important than he imagined and more difficult to achieve. But he probably never thought that comprehending the "mysterious realm" actually means breaking the barriers of the "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao" from "Yuqing" to "Shangqing"!
There are many people who have reached the extreme of "Yuqing" in Qingyun Sect, but not many people who may break through "Yuqing" and reach "Shangqing". However, those who can improve their cultivation to "Shangqing" are qualified to serve as "elders" no matter which lineage in the seven veins.
"Senior brother," said Tong Zhengning, "Does your mood still have a breakthrough?"
Shang Zhengliang looked stagnant and said awkwardly: "Well, junior sister, you also know that for more than a hundred years, you have to squeeze out time for your brother to practice. Where can I have time to read the scriptures and realize the truth?"
"Yes, you and I have been distracted for more than a hundred years. Whether it is practice or enlightenment, they are abandoned." Tong Zhengning looked at Feng Yi's eyes, and there was a hint of expectation. "But these efforts are ultimately worth it! With the sky we support, Feng Yi and others must have gone further than us, right?"
Shang Zhengliang gently stroked his whisper and remained silent.
One day of practice will pass quickly.
When Feng Yi came down the mountain road from Chaoyang's main peak, he was a little unreal and trance, but his spirit was unprecedentedly excited. In just one day, he seemed to be able to "draw qi into his body" and practice the Qi and fortune cycle! When he achieved this level in one day, Feng Yi knew what this meant.
That feeling of help from God made him feel at ease from the bottom of his heart.
"It turns out that the 'mysterious realm' is not about breaking the 'conscious obstacle' or ending. Perhaps it is the most accurate to call it the 'start'!" Obviously, he knew that he could practice successfully for the first time and then to achieve the level that Xu Ming was far from that. The "mysterious" state of mind that took him five years played an important role, and this was just the beginning of his practice!
In front of you, outside the narrow stone steps.
The clouds and mists are floating on the mountainside, and the vast earth is majestic and heavy.
Feng Yi walked around for a few years, and after a while, he had already familiarized himself with this stone staircase, and was no longer as frightened as he was at the beginning. Even as he walked, he still had time to distract himself and he recalled the concerns of his master when he left--
"Feng Yi, after your practice, you will be taught by your teacher. If you don't understand, you can come to me! As for swordsmanship, you can learn more swordsmanship when your cultivation is deeper. I, Chaoyang Peak, use the best way to "sword control" to make you live a good practice. Don't waste your swordsmanship, do you know?"
After his practice was on the right track, Feng Yi practiced step by step. When he was tired, he practiced three sets of sword techniques, or picked up the Taoist scriptures and read them again to relieve his mind. He didn't know what other people's practice was, but for himself, almost every day, he could clearly feel his progress.
The feeling of watching yourself become stronger step by step is really fascinating. Perhaps this is also the charm of practice! And as it continues to become stronger, the process of gradually controlling one's destiny made Feng Yi feel at ease from the bottom of his heart.
A month later, Feng Yi successfully opened all the acupoints in his body and was able to circulate thirty-six complete great circumferences in one breath, indicating the perfection of the first level of "Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao". After Feng Yi obtained the second level of practice from Master Shang Zhengliang, he obtained his guidance and knew that he could already learn and practice new sword techniques.
However, what surprised him and was a little scared and terrified was that when he came to Zhuxia Peak the next day, he found that not only his senior sister Mu Huiqiu was waiting for him, but also his uncle Tong Zhengning!
"Sir, uncle?"
Tong Zhengning actually smiled: "Feng Yi, I will teach you your sword skills in the future! I can give you a promise - as long as you can learn, as long as you are willing to learn, the uncle will never hide his own personalities to you!"
Mu Huiqiu next to him was shocked when he heard this!
She secretly glanced at her master. After seeing that her expression was serious, it was definitely not a false statement, she couldn't help but look at Feng Yi with strange and curious eyes - when did Junior Brother Feng get such recognition from his master?
Even Feng Yi was shocked and hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "My uncle's teachings, please remember them in mind!"
He knew that the origin of swordsmanship for many people in Chaoyang Peak was in this uncle's body. Even those who practiced supernatural powers were mostly guided by Uncle Tong. Her cultivation may not be higher than Shang Zhengliang, but she has made great achievements in swordsmanship and is very suitable for teaching disciples to practice.
Feng Yixi said that the uncle said this, and there might be a way for him to learn any magical secret techniques he wants to learn in the future!
However, the following swordsmanship teachings made Feng Yi frightened and extremely profound—
Swish~bang!
"The most important thing is that those who practice swordsmanship are fast and fast. If they are so slow to draw the sword, what kind of sword technique can they practice? Come again!"
Whoosh~bang!
"The sword moves at will, and the intention is to the sword first - you can understand it well, come again!"
Swish~bang!
"No matter what situation you encounter, the sword in your hand must not be messed up! Come again!"
......
Feng Yi grinned and couldn't help but breathe down Zhuxia Peak.
Chapter completed!
