Chapter 6 The Road to Practice
Housekeeper, Saxi Pavilion, Fang Yuan, the new handyman, this is your number plate!
After Fazhou entered Qingyang Sect, Fang Yuan was separated from the others. He was sent to a low mountain on the edge of Qingyang Sect. In front of a slightly old palace, he saw a tall, thin, somewhat wicked-looking Tsing Yi steward. The steward's surname was Sun, but he was an old man who had served in Qingyang Sect for more than ten years. Now he also managed a dozen handymen like Fang Yuan.
He gave Fang Yuan a set of items, including a special number plate made by the Qingyang Sect, a set of blue robes made of unknown material, exactly what the handymen wore, two qi training pills that can strengthen the body, and a volume of qi training mentality with a slightly damaged cover.
The place to eat is here. There is a meal every morning, noon and evening. The place where you receive your monthly salary is there. Remember to come here on time at the end of each month. It is the place where the disciples of the immortal sect clean up. You can't break into it casually. The back mountain has nothing to say. But there are many ferocious monsters, so if you don't want to feed them with your own flesh and blood, you'd better not enter it casually...
This Guanshi couldn't stop talking. At first, Fang Yuan listened patiently, but later he couldn't help being distracted. He just looked at Qingyangzong's elementary Qi training method and the two Qi training pills in his arms with joy, and Sun Guanshi didn't care whether Fang Yuan listened or not.
Brother, can we also practice?
When the steward Sun introduced to Fang Yuan the dog raised by a bean curd lady selling bean curds in a small town ten miles to the west of Qingyangzong, not long ago, one of the litter of puppies was born like a cat, Fang Yuan couldn't help asking.
That's natural. Didn't you give you both the Qi training mental method and the Qi training pill?
The steward Sun said with a smile: We usually live in this deep mountain, where the wind, cold and dew are heavy. If we don't have any cultivation, our bodies will not be able to bear it. The Immortal Sect asks us handyman disciples to practice some qi training methods. This is the intention. Some handyman disciples are lazy and don't practice. As a result, when it's rainy, the joints hurt so much that they can't stand it, so...
Then... the servants of the immortal sect can also become disciples of the immortal sect?
Fang Yuan automatically blocked what he said later, and asked a key question with full expectation.
Become a disciple of Xianmen?
Steward Sun was slightly startled, looked at Fang Yuan's excited expression, and was surprisingly silent for a while. After a while, he shook his head lightly and said with a smile, Our Qingyang Sect has this rule. It is said that three thousand years ago, one of the suzerain masters of the Qingyang Sect was born as a handyman. Since then, this rule has been passed down. If a handyman disciple can cultivate to the third level of Qi training before the age of 18, and then pass the assessment of the elders, he can formally pay homage to him. Entering the Immortal Sect to practice...
Deacon Qiao really didn't lie to me...
Fang Yuan's heart suddenly became clear, and his expression became lighter.
Steward Sun seemed to want to say something, but seeing Fang Yuan's happy face, he held back and continued to lead the way. He introduced Fang Yuan, including the rules of the immortal sect, the customs, and the likes and dislikes of a certain elder. Delayed, otherwise...
Junior brother understands!
Fang Yuan readily agreed, and he found that the first thing he had to learn to communicate with the steward grandson was to interrupt him.
Oh, the sun is about to go down. Brother Fang, you are new to the fairy gate. Why don't I drink two jugs of wine and cut half a catty of pig's head meat? Firstly, senior brother will catch the wind for you, and secondly, I can continue to introduce you to the customs and customs of our fairy gate...
You don't need to give up, brother, I still have to clean the house today, wait a few days for me to come back to invite brother...
Haha, okay, this is what you said, junior brother, when the time comes, we must drink and talk happily, and we won't return if we don't get drunk...
Fang Yuan was just talking casually, but Guanshi Sun was overjoyed to hear it, and talked about it a lot, and then reluctantly left.
Fang Yuan thanked him, and then entered the hut in front of him, but he saw that the inside was very dilapidated, and the layout was very simple. There was only one couch, one table, one chair, and one cabinet. On the table was an oil lamp with cobwebs on it. It hadn't been lit for a long time. Fang Yuan took out a flint and wiped it a few times, but it was lit. With the help of the dim light, he cleaned the house before sitting down.
Fang Yuan probably didn't mind that he was going to live here for a long time in the future. He was born in a poor family. He lived in the house of his uncle and aunt in Taiyue City. At least the house looked solid and wouldn't leak. It's just that it was windy at night in the mountains. After sitting for a while, he felt a little chilly all over his body, so he hurriedly got up and closed the window.
Sun Guanshi is right. The wind, cold and dew in the mountains are heavy, and ordinary people really can't stand it!
As he thought to himself, his eyes fell on the book on the Qi training method on the table, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Then start practicing and resist the cold air!
Fang Yuan is no stranger to the cultivation of mind, even the essentials of meditating and breathing. He has already consulted Mr. Zhu, but because of the school rules, Mr. Zhu cannot teach him the mind of Qi training. This is the first time he has come into contact with this mysterious method of Qi training!
But he is no stranger to the principle, it has already been explained in the lessons of Fairy Hall.
The so-called practice is to breathe in the heaven and the earth, improve one's physical fitness, and step by step, master the power between the heaven and the earth.
The road of practice is divided into six realms, which are Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Huashen, and Mahayana.
And the first step of Qi training is a process of introducing spiritual energy into the body and improving one's physical fitness. To achieve this goal, one must first feel the ubiquitous, but unpredictable spiritual energy. In the mental method, this point is clearly introduced, and the method of guiding breath and the method of moving spiritual energy in the body are clearly written and very detailed.
Fang Yuan has a good memory, after only reading it a few times, he memorized the first qi-guiding method, and then went through it carefully in his mind. After confirming that he had figured it out thoroughly, he sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusted his breathing, and tried to clear his mind.
This is not easy to do, and distracting thoughts will arise at every turn, and the mind is like a wild horse, uncontrollable.
However, Fang Yuan was very persistent and patient. He knew that there was no need to rush this matter, and if he failed the first time, he tried a second time.
The first day after entering the Qingyang Sect, he passed through repeated and tireless attempts. Fang Yuan didn't know how many times he had failed, and he didn't even remember whether he had succeeded. It wasn't until he woke up the next day amidst the chirping of birds and insects that he realized that he had fallen asleep unknowingly.
If he can't achieve the state of concentrating and calming the mind, and being open-minded as mentioned in the Qi training method, it is naturally impossible to sense the aura between the sky and the earth through the breath-guiding method.
That's it, Fang Yuan started his life in Xianmen silently. During the day, he needed to clean the large Changming Hall. It was said to be a hall, but in fact it had nineteen rooms in front and back, four rooms in front and back.
But what made him look forward to it was the practice at night.
Although this qi training method was extremely difficult at first, he persisted.
In the past few days, he failed to control his mind, sensed the existence of spiritual energy, and did not take the qi training pill issued by Xianmen to strengthen his physique, because he once heard Mr. Zhu say that the essence is to practice one way, understand the world, meditate and practice qi.
And pills, no matter how good they are, are only auxiliary means after all. He doesn't want to rely on the power of pills as soon as he enters the path of cultivation.
Therefore, he made up his mind that he would never take any pills until he cultivated the first spiritual energy!
Under this perseverance, Fang Yuan spent seven or eight consecutive days sitting in meditation. Even though he couldn't meet the requirements mentioned in the Qi training method at first, he still persisted. Finally, one night on the ninth day, he unintentionally entered an extremely mysterious state. He seemed to disappear and merged into the world, like floating in the ocean...
At this moment, he was still habitually exhaling according to the method of breathing in the qi training method. Unconsciously, it seemed as if something had come out of nothing. Faintly, between the heaven and the earth, there seemed to be some kind of elusive power that entered his body.
That night, Fang Yuan sat for a whole night. When his mind returned, he opened his eyes and saw the room full of sunlight!
I... I cultivated the first spiritual energy?
When he realized the changes in himself, Fang Yuan couldn't even believe it.
I finally embarked on the road of cultivation?
He hurriedly looked inside according to what he said in his heart, and he sensed the faint aura in his body that was almost hard to find, and he laughed immediately.
I am very satisfied with my smile!
