Mountain Wild Clouds

Chapter 111 Five Hearts Up to the Sky, Thunder Ocean

After packing the white and black charcoal in the bamboo basket that had been woven a long time ago, Yun Buliu washed up, and then began his nighttime homework—studying ancient cultivation methods and meditating.

Studying the ancient practice methods is one of the things that must be done every day. If you review the past and learn something new, if you think about it from time to time, you may have new discoveries and insights.

As for meditation, it doesn't mean that he already knows how to practice, but that he is still in the groping stage, and he can't do things like no thought and no thought once he learns.

He is very suspicious now that those primitive people can easily feel the power of their own blood, not because they are more talented than him, but because their thoughts are too simple and they have fewer distracting thoughts.

Yun Buliu felt that he had more distracting thoughts, mainly because he had seen more things.

After staying in that materialistic and information-exploding world for a long time, it would be a strange thing if my thoughts could remain pure!
So, he felt that it wasn't that he didn't have the talent for cultivation, nor that he was inferior to those primitive people, it was mainly because there were too many temptations in that world.

Otherwise, why do those who practice Taoism and Buddhism stay away from the world?
They are actually looking for a quiet place.

As for why those quiet places turned into lively tourist destinations later?
Ahem... I won't analyze the reasons here, people always have to live!
In short, Yun Buliu felt that he was definitely not without talent, but that the world gave him too many temptations, which made his thinking mirror covered with countless dust.

In order for this bright mirror to emit its due radiance, he had to wipe off the dust first.

Meditation is the process of wiping away dust.It doesn't matter what position you are in, whether you are sitting or lying down, as long as it speeds up the process, anything will do.

However, after trying it out, he still felt that this five-hearted posture was better.

In his opinion, this is a very magical feeling, as if this posture has some kind of magic power, which can make him calm down faster.

This posture is actually a relatively high-end sitting posture for Taoist practitioners when meditating.

Five hearts, that is, two soles of the feet, two palms, plus the top of the head.It is said that this sitting posture can be connected with the Qi of the universe to achieve the purpose of quickly gathering Qi.

Whether it can be connected with the energy of the universe, this... Yun Buliu can't tell why, because he doesn't know what the energy of the universe is.

Perhaps the cosmic air in this world is that mysterious energy 'Qi'!

But this sitting position can indeed make it easier for him to calm down.He is now able to calm down, abandon the chaotic and complicated thoughts, and listen to his own heartbeat and breathing.

Although listening to the heartbeat and breathing is actually useless in terms of spiritual practice.

But being able to do this for a long time means that his attention can be concentrated on one point for a long time, and those distracting thoughts in his mind will not jump out to cause trouble at every turn.

This is actually a kind of improvement. Compared with the situation where I felt restless after sitting for a few minutes at the beginning, it is much better.

The next step is to slowly dig deep from this point, to see if he can sense the mysterious energy from the outside world—Qi, or the power of qi and blood in his own body.

In his opinion, this should be regarded as a subtle level of perception.

Sensing the power of qi and blood can be said to be inward, which can be regarded as 'inner vision'.Sensing the mysterious energy 'Qi' from the outside world can be called 'appearance', which is considered external.

The two are the inside and the outside... Perhaps those primitive ancestors evolved the practice of the ancient ancestors into what they are today, probably because they have mastered the inner perception.

Therefore, this has moved from the original 'external training' to 'internal training'.

The "external training" here does not refer to the external training of muscles, bones and skin, but refers to the use of external force to condense oneself. The external force here refers to the mysterious energy "Qi".

And 'internal training' refers to refining the power of one's own blood and qi.

Practicing in one breath is similar to this one.

At some point, there seemed to be a sound of '嗞' resounding in his mind.

In just a split second, he seemed to feel that the world in front of him had changed, and he seemed to be in a sea of ​​thunder.

All around was raging thunder, and the thunder snakes danced around, scaring him so hard that his heart kept twitching.

It was also this sudden fright that made him recover from this weird phantom.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the surrounding area was very quiet, but soon, there was the sound of insects in the grass, accompanied by the sound of geese and geese from warriors big and small in Goose Village.

On the big lake not far away, the stars are flickering, and there is no scene of thunder raging.

Although the scene just now just passed away in a flash, like a hallucination, Yun Buliu felt somewhat surprised.But he still felt that this was not a hallucination, but that he had already groped to the edge of inner vision, and the thunder he saw might be the secret to becoming stronger when he charged himself.

This conjecture made him a little excited.

As a result, he was so excited that he could no longer enter the wonderful realm just now.

He didn't know what time it was, seeing that he couldn't get into meditation again, he had no choice but to get up and go upstairs to rest.

Seeing him get up and go upstairs to rest, the little furball who was dozing on the roof of the small bamboo building turned over and jumped into the window on the second floor, and got into the animal skin of the wicker chair.

The little milk tiger lying in the hall on the first floor of the bamboo building...in fact, it is no longer a milk tiger, they are almost one-year-old tiger cubs.

Seeing Yun Buliu go to rest, Xiao Jinzi also stood up and followed him upstairs.

Coiled in front of the window on the second floor, with his little head held high, as if he was breathing, Xiao Bai followed his body up and down, and when he heard Yun Buliu's voice going upstairs, he also walked back to the bed.

I don't know if it's because someone needs to warm the bed. Anyway, as long as the cloud doesn't stay and rest, it will never get into the bed first.

As for this white snake that just burrowed into his bed and did whatever it wanted, he had no choice but to let it be, as long as it was happy!

……

The next day, Yun Buliu got up early and went to the vegetable garden to have a look.

Although the summer morning dew is a bit heavy, and the surface layer of the soil in the vegetable garden is a little damp, it is actually useless, as soon as the sun comes out, it will dry up immediately.

It has not rained for several days now, and it can even be said that it has not rained since the soybeans and millet were planted.

Yun Buliu was a little worried that these seeds would not germinate, so he would get up early these days to water the soybeans and millet, as well as the wild vegetables and medicinal materials he had planted.

As a result, today he discovered that those soybeans had a hint of emerald color bursting out.

This discovery made him overjoyed.
