celestial reincarnation

Chapter 8 What is Practice
Liancheng led the three of them down in front of a temple on a high peak, and a rainbow flashed around the temple from time to time, it seemed that there should be some kind of restriction.Liancheng put away the magic weapon and shouted loudly: "Senior brother Wang, I brought a new disciple to collect the things!"

As soon as the words were finished, the door of the palace hushed and opened automatically.Seeing this, Liancheng took the lead and walked in without hesitation, followed by Ling Chen and the other three into the hall.

Ling Chen was surprised that the space inside was much larger than what he saw from the outside. He guessed that some kind of formation should be set up in this palace.

On the left side of the main hall is a row of weapon racks, including weapons such as knives, guns, swords and axes, all exuding bursts of spiritual power, and they seem to be some good magic weapons.There are a few cabinets on the right, I don't know what's in them.

A calm middle-aged man stood up from the futon in the corner of the hall, and asked in confusion: "It's not time to recruit new disciples yet, why did you bring so many disciples here today? Hair is still so short?"

Liancheng said with a smile: "This time, it was personally recommended by Mr. Mo Li from Haotian Pavilion. They are all very talented. The master master told me to bring them to collect the belongings of the new disciples."

At this moment, this 'Senior Brother Wang' stared at Ling Chen and the three of them for a few moments, and said in surprise, "Master Mo recommended it? The senior master of the sect also ordered it himself? Then it seems that they are all very talented people. Just come with me to get something."

As they spoke, they walked towards the weapon rack, and each of them received a Qingfeng sword, a leaf-shaped flying weapon, and two moon-white robes from the cabinet on the right.

"There are only so many things. After you get them, go away. You must practice hard in the future, so don't waste such a good qualification." Senior Brother Wang urged.

The three of Ling Chen nodded, Lian Cheng also bid farewell to Senior Brother Wang, and led the three of them out of the hall.As soon as a few people walked out of the main hall, the door of the main hall slammed and closed automatically, and the surrounding of the main hall was surrounded by rays of light, and the restriction in the entire hall was restored.

Liancheng took the three of them away on the flying saucer again, and finally brought the three of them to a low mountain. The place is very simple, with several thatched houses hidden among the towering old trees. There is a stone table under the tree in front of the house. The stone bench looks very peaceful and natural.Although there are no pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, it is as peaceful and peaceful as a paradise.

"The two of you live here. This junior sister's residence is on Qixia Mountain opposite. Do you want me to take you there or you will go there later?" Lian Cheng explained to Ling Chen and Su Yatong.

"It's not far away, I can go there by myself, this time there is Senior Brother Luo Lian." Su Yatong said crisply.

"Let Su Yatong go to that hill alone? Could it be that she lives there alone?" Ling Chen asked with concern.

"That's not true. The other hill is a bit different from yours. Although that hill is not high, there are two proud daughters of our sect living there, both of whom are very talented." Lian Cheng shook his head and said.

Hearing that there were still two women living there, Ling Chen and the two were also relieved. After all, Su Yatong was only a woman, if she was allowed to live alone on a mountain, she would inevitably be afraid.

Zheng Hao looked at those thatched huts, curled his lips and said, "This is too simple, isn't it just these few thatched huts?"

"Just be content with it. It would be nice for disciples who have just entered the sect to have an independent residence. In fact, everything around this mountain belongs to you. You can make good use of it, and you can also build houses yourself. Besides, the environment is poor. It can sharpen your xinxing, and it will be good for your future practice." Liancheng explained with a smile.

"You guys rest first. Someone will bring you three meals a day. As for the practice, judging from the attitude of the head of the sect today, the elders should be arranged to come here to give you advice. You should first take what I said today. Clear up the knowledge, just wait with peace of mind." Liancheng explained a few more words before driving away on the flying saucer.

"The daggers I picked up are all high-grade magic weapons, and the ones given by the sect are low-grade magic weapons. How stingy." After Liancheng left, Zheng Hao couldn't help complaining.

Ling Chen chuckled, and said with relief: "We have just entered the mountain gate, and the sect can't give you too good a magic weapon. Now we have to calm down and practice hard, so that we can return to Kyushu in the future."

The three chatted while playing with the magic weapon they had just received.Not long after, a boy brought food. After the three of them had eaten, they got acquainted with the environment around the dwarf mountain, and went to the opposite mountain with Su Yatong.

Before reaching the top of the mountain, I heard a soft and pleasant voice from above, "This is Su Yatong, Junior Sister Su, right? Brother Lian came to tell us just now, let's go, I'll show you where you live. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful young woman walking over with a light smile. Her black hair was tied up with a carved wooden hairpin, and her light green dress fluttered in the wind.

Just as Ling Chen and the others were about to follow, another glamorous and charming girl appeared next to her, and said coldly: "Qixia Mountain Top, it's inconvenient for you men to enter, please go back."

Ling Chen was a little worried, he really didn't know how Su Yatong would get along with this ice-like woman.After waving goodbye to Su Yatong, the two returned to the dwarf mountain.

Three days later, Ling Chen and Zheng Hao were sitting chatting at the stone table outside the house, when an old man with a rosy complexion and a fairy air floated in front of them, and introduced himself: "I am Ning Zhiyuan, the elder of Yunxia Sect. Brother Men asked me to be responsible for teaching you how to practice."

Both Ling Chen stood up and saluted, "I have met the elder."

"Don't be too polite."

The two asked Elder Ning to sit on the stone bench, and began to ask various questions about cultivation. Although Liancheng told them about the realm of cultivation in the morning, they still didn't know much about cultivation.

"The world is made up of material and spiritual phenomena. Everything in the world is made up of smaller units, and our bodies are the same." Elder Ning Zhiyuan explained with a faint smile.

The two of Ling Chen nodded, expressing their understanding.This is just like the saying on the earth that the human body is composed of countless cells. Under the cells, there are basic substances such as protein, sugar, and water, and then there are elements, even molecules and atoms, etc., which are endless and inexplicable.

"Cultivation can be subdivided into 'cultivation' and 'action'. The so-called practice is to constantly think and explore the origin of life and understand the rules of heaven. The so-called practice is to practice with one's own words and deeds combined with one's own state of mind. The so-called practice is practice in deeds, every word and action is practice.”

The two of Ling Chen nodded half-understood. What they said was a bit mysterious, as if they were talking about philosophical issues.

Elder Ning Zhiyuan continued: "Since the human body is made up of countless tiny units, then practice can also be simply understood as constantly breaking the shackles of one's own body, tapping the endless potential of these small units, and cultivating to the depths. It is necessary to understand the nature of the way of heaven. The process of practice is the process of proving the way. The beginning of practice is to ask questions. It is the process of cognition, the so-called true law is unpleasant, and the process of exploration is tortuous and bumpy, and those without great perseverance cannot do it. Knowing is the result of cognition, and understanding is the real knowing. Practicing the Tao is doing it personally, and only practicing the Tao can finally Proving the Tao. Under normal circumstances, hearing the Tao, knowing the Tao, and practicing the Tao are intertwined, inseparable and indispensable.”

Elder Ning Zhiyuan explained many things about cultivation, which made Ling Chen and Zheng Hao have a certain understanding of it.

Zheng Hao couldn't wait to ask: "Since we have passed the level of asking questions, can we practice?"

"Now you have a lot of spiritual power accumulated in your body. If you practice blindly with only a half-knowledge of practice, you will not only waste this spiritual power, but also may destroy your foundation if you practice improperly. Don't be too ambitious. Knowing more about practice knowledge is good for you to lay a good foundation. Only by laying a good foundation can we go further on the road of practice."

The two nodded hurriedly, they finally had this opportunity to become immortals and prove the Tao, and besides, their hope of returning home depends entirely on their practice, so naturally they don't want to step into a land of eternal doom at the beginning of their practice.

Elder Ning Zhiyuan said slowly: "In the entire Great Desolate World, there are many cultivation systems and countless cultivators, but each cultivator's practice begins with refining and transforming Qi and opening up the Zifu dantian."

Ling Chen asked in a timely manner: "Then where is Zifu Dantian?"

Elder Ning pointed to Ling Chen's navel, and said: "The Zifu dantian is located three inches below the navel, about the size of a fist. It is the place where the body's essence is stored, the source of vitality, and the root of the internal organs. No Zifu dantian has been opened up. Ordinary people can only passively store essence and spirit, and cannot actively use it, but monks who have opened up the Zifu dantian can fully refine the essence in the Zifu dantian into true essence, and can store true essence in it to prolong life. "

Ling Chen was still a little puzzled: "Then how will it be developed?"

"To open up the dantian of the Zifu, you must first sense its location during meditation, and then you need to refine the essence scattered in the body into true essence. At this time, the true essence will circulate in the limbs and bones, and the true essence will be continuously tempered when it circulates. The essence in the body turns into true essence.

The Zifu dantian is on the route of the true essence cycle. When the true essence is strong enough, it can hit the Zifu dantian, knock out a gap in it, and slowly refine the dormant essence overflowing from the gap. After it is completely refined into true essence , in order to accommodate one's own true energy in the dantian of the Zifu.If the refinement is not completed, the true essence has already entered the dantian, which will cause the true essence to be impure and the foundation will not be firm.

However, everyone's Zifu dantian is as solid as a rock, and it is difficult to break through it. They must be guided and helped by other monks to succeed.

For a period of time from now on, you should first sit quietly and sense your own Zifu dantian, and when you feel it, I will teach you the method of refining and transforming qi, and when necessary, I will guide you to open up the Zifu dantian. "

Seeing that Ling Chen and the others were thinking, Elder Ning Zhiyuan smiled faintly and said, "I will come here every day to teach you some knowledge about cultivation. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them one by one. Let's talk about it first today." Here, you should carefully understand what I just said, and I will explain to you tomorrow if there is anything you don’t understand.” After finishing speaking, he swung his right hand and flew away in a rainbow light.
