Cultivation of Immortals: Start with blind thinking

Chapter 18 Cultivating the Upper Dantian

While meditating, Jin Ziming experienced deep tranquility.

Flesh and bones are first virtualized, leaving only an empty shell.

Then the skin is also melted away, and the whole person is transformed into air or aura, and the consciousness travels freely in the world, as if coexisting with the long river of time.

This made him realize the profundity, etherealness and mystery. Everything looks so pure and simple, but it also implies Taoism.

A kind of enlightenment welled up in his heart, he seemed to be enlightened, and he could discover the essence of things faster.

The feeling of an empty shell begins to come when you want it, and the feeling of complete nothingness can often be touched.

After a year of insisting on this kind of practice in harmony with the heaven and the earth, he condensed the colorful soul energy into a tight ball, like a bright pearl.

Practice like an ascetic monk is not always efficient. In the dark, he feels that without new exercises, it will be difficult for him to improve.

The human brain has its limit. Since the skills have come to an end temporarily, in the absence of a guiding light, the only way is to calm down and polish the state of mind.

Once, Huang Xiucai's family was going to offer incense in a temple on the mountain. In order to deal with the intrusion of wild animals and bandits, they dragged him along with them by force.

In the temple, smelling the sandalwood, listening to the Buddha's voice, and looking at the devout believers, he found that his colorful soul energy felt more mellow and mellow.

The host also said that he had a predestined relationship with the Buddha and gave him many scriptures. After returning, Jin Ziming read by the river when he had time.

The Heart Sutra made him understand that all human troubles come from unfulfilled desires. He is only in his twenties now, so it is impossible to have no desires.

He can still set lofty goals, but when he encounters troubles, he temporarily lowers his original demands.

Set up a stage goal that is easier to achieve for yourself, so you don't have to worry about unfulfilled desires;
After achieving it, gradually raise the goal and lead yourself to keep going upwards.

There is a young man named A Ming in the martial arts school, and his childhood sweetheart, regardless of his vows, is engaged to a new talent instead.

This made him miserable, gave up on himself, and affected the practice of other students in the martial arts hall.

Lao He was very annoyed, and wanted to clean up this little guy, but was dissuaded by Jin Ziming.

He called the boy to his room, took out a pen and paper, and said:

"Amin, now you write me twenty shortcomings of that girl."

"Okay, Master Jin." Under his coercion, the young man reluctantly picked up the pen, deliberated for a long time, and finally wrote four things:

"Sometimes she treats me badly", "My mother doesn't like her very much", "She has a weird personality, sometimes I don't understand what she wants", "I don't know how to cook".

After that, Xiao Ming couldn't write anything else.

Jin Ziming inspired:

"Xiao Ming, think again.

For example, whether she is filial to your parents, whether you are interested in her hobbies, his attitude towards your martial arts training, and if you do not have a stable income in the future, will she treat you well? "

Amin suddenly opened his mind, and listed nearly thirty shortcomings at once.

Jin Ziming picked up the piece of paper, looked at it with satisfaction, then threw it on Xiao Ming's face, and said bitterly:
"Since this girl is such a type, you are so stupid, still thinking about it so much?

You should ask your brothers out for drinks right away, and celebrate getting rid of this chick with all the problems ahead of time.

Congratulations on being freed from this and finding a better girl. "

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, it really made sense, he hurriedly thanked him, and excitedly took him to drink.

When you can't get someone or something, think of him as worthless.

In this way, the troubles are relieved, and you can happily rush to the new future, why not do it?
In addition to continuing to play chess with others, Jin Ziming began to spend more time observing ordinary people's daily life.

See their joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, and even experience the hardships of the lives of the lower classes.

Gradually, some changes took place in his mentality.

One winter night, after he was in a daze by the river, he met a middle-aged couple in plain clothes on his way home.

The two happily held hands, the man looked like a worker carrying goods at the dock, only to hear him say excitedly:
"Honey, I'm very lucky today. I've been working all the time, and I've earned twenty-three copper coins in total."

The woman seemed to have just returned from her helper, and she also happily responded:
"I also earned twelve copper coins today."

"Then let's go to the East Gate now, to Grandma Wang's shop, and grill a few more skewers to celebrate."

"Okay, okay, go now!"

In the cold night, although the cold wind was blowing, this simple conversation was heartwarming and touching.

Standing in the darkness, Jin Ziming was first moved, then peaceful and harmonious, and then a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, making him suddenly realize:

It turns out that a person's life is like climbing a mountain. Some people just stand at the foot of the mountain, such as this couple, but they can still be content and happy;

Some people can climb to the mountainside, turn their heads and look at the ordinary life of the people below, and they can be happy and satisfied by comparison;

There are also a few people who, through unremitting struggle and hard work, finally climbed to the top of the mountain to see the magnificent scenery in the distance and the busy people below.

This is a beautiful world that people on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain cannot appreciate, and it is another level of happiness.

Everyone can be content with whatever happens, and be content at different levels. How about yourself?
Mountain climbing has just begun, so you might as well set your sights higher.

Look at the people on the top of the mountain more, and stimulate more upward momentum, and maybe you will have a day when you can see all the small mountains.

As soon as I thought through this section, I felt a roar in my head, and the colorful air beads that had been polished to perfection were completely solidified.

It is strung on the blue tube that runs through the lower dantian and Baihui, and it rotates happily and spontaneously.

He suddenly realized that his primordial spirit had been promoted to the early stage of the third level, and it could already spread a distance of nearly seven miles.

Wherever you go, everything is vivid.

What surprised him even more than the Yuanshen breakthrough was: he cultivated the upper dantian!
"Xiao Chong, your end is here." The corners of Jin Ziming's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile.

The soul worm seemed to feel an extreme danger, and it began to struggle desperately, trying to get out of Jin Ziming's spiritual space.

But at this time, the shield has been deformed, turned into an open silk cocoon, and suddenly closed to wrap it in it.

Jin Ziming used his soul power to transform a sharp blade, and was about to pierce it in, but the Gu worm that had been tormenting him for several years was killed with one blow.

Suddenly, his soul received a piece of information, which was actually the bug's begging for mercy:

"Don't do anything first, I am willing to recognize you as the master, I come from the noble blood of the soul worm clan.

After a severe injury, most of his memories were lost, and he fell into the world. After changing hands several times, he was accidentally obtained by that low-level monk named Tan Wu.

I will definitely become stronger again in the future and will be of great help to you. "

"I don't believe you, especially you are still in my soul, it's too unsafe."

"No, I can swear in the name of the soul master, I will serve you as master.

And you are stronger than me now, you can set up a soul cage and imprison me in it.

When needed, a thought can call me out to assist your attack. "

Jin Ziming thought about it, now that he is too weak, it would be a good choice to have such a helper, he can be imprisoned first.

As for the oath, he couldn't believe it, and he would let it out to harm people when he could completely control the bug in the future.

It's just that right now, whether it's useful or not, at least there's no harm in letting this guy swear.

So the two enemies, who had been fighting to the death for many years, reached an agreement and got peace. Jin Ziming set up a cage in the corner of Shenhun and threw the bug into it.

Jin Ziming was twenty-three years old, his body was stronger and stronger, and his eyes were deeper. He knew that it was time to leave Youtang City.

After the last three years of cultivation, in addition to the promotion of Yuanshen, his cultivation has reached the peak level of Dzogchen in the Qi Refining Period, and he may break through to the Foundation Establishment Period at any time.

In terms of sword technique, the unity of human and sword has already been practiced, but the sword posture has not been realized.

The "thousand layers of waves" has already produced three hundred and twenty-eight layers of waves, which is extremely powerful, and it may be able to compete with the late foundation establishment period or even the Dzogchen monks.

There are still more than six years before the age of [-]. Since he does not know the entry examination time of the Lingyun Sect, Jin Ziming must complete the foundation building as soon as possible, and then rush to Nanfeng Island.

He put foreign boxing techniques and sword manuals on the table, and simply edited a book, leaving it to He Ning, and then drifted away.

Jin Ziming first went to a medium-sized city and teleported to Qilin City in the northeast of Xijinzhou.

Then it was sent to Chaosong City in North Kuizhou, and then changed to walk and headed south.

All the way to go with the situation, to visit and understand with a relaxed and happy mood, what he needs most at this stage is to see more and understand more.

He tastes food and wine in the city, goes to the market to choose what he likes, and experiences tranquility and harmony in the small town;
Watch the smoke and butterflies flying in the fields, watch the morning mist by the lake, hunt wild animals in the forest, and recall the life in the dark forest.

The polishing of his state of mind made him only a piece of paper away from the foundation building period, but what kind of opportunity is needed to break it?
Along the way, Jin Ziming visited many Taoist temples and temples.

After reading many collections and scriptures, he admired their great wisdom from the bottom of his heart.

More than a year after leaving Youtang City, Jin Ziming climbed up an unnamed mountain along a mountain road paved with gravel.

On the top of the mountain, there is a small temple named "Jiuxia Temple".

　It is very effective to use the Heart Sutra and the method of enumerating the shortcomings to comfort the lovelorn. I have used it to comfort several people who are in pain.

　　The conversation between the couple in the cold winter and the subsequent insights came from the conversation I met with a couple in the mountain city many years ago. The middle-aged man is a "bang bang".
