Infinity, starting from eternity

Chapter 428 Ye Fan asked
"In ancient times, people lived to be a hundred years old and were still active."

Ye Fan closed the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and was fascinated by the ancient times recorded in the Su Wen chapter.

For modern people living in cities, the ancient times are undoubtedly a period of mystery and temptation. Seeking immortality and asking for the truth are extraordinary and otherworldly. Since ancient times, everyone from emperors and sages to merchants and ordinary people have been fascinated by it.

Ye Fan is no exception, especially after he made some achievements in the business world. He no longer has to rush around like ordinary people and can calm down to read ancient books and absorb the wisdom of his predecessors.

Many big bosses in the business world will buy a bunch of ancient books to save their face even if they don't understand anything.

Those bosses believe in these things more than anyone else: feng shui, luck, and burning incense and praying to Buddha.

Many people's success is largely due to luck, you can believe it even if you don't believe it.

Therefore, for Ye Fan, this is not only a hobby, but also a means of communication and chatting. He can strike up a conversation with those bosses who are interested in this aspect and do business smoothly.

Often, no matter how hard you work in business, it is not as good as a word from the big boss. Ye Fan knows this very well. In this era, choice is more important than hard work.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have some ability, rather than trying to please or curry favor. Ye Fan, who has only graduated from university for more than two years and still has a bit of scholarly spirit, cannot learn that kind of behavior.

"Feng Shui Master."

Ye Fan thought of something that happened not long ago, and his thoughts became a little distracted.

He likes to read ancient books of this kind. He has dabbled in Huangdi Neijing, Yijing, Tao Te Ching, and Buddhist scriptures. He doesn't dare to say that he is a master of metaphysics, but he thinks he has a certain understanding of it. He also has a respectful attitude towards things like Feng Shui.

But as to how useful it is, Ye Fan is also skeptical, mainly because there are too many scammers in the market who dare to call themselves masters while wearing Taoist robes or monk's clothes.

You don’t even have a national Taoist or Buddhist license, so how can you pretend to be a master?

However, something that happened not long ago made Ye Fan change his mind.

"Perhaps Feng Shui metaphysics really exists in the world, a legacy of the ancients." Ye Fan was a little absent-minded. The brewed green tea gradually cooled down, and he did not react. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine in his hand stopped at the Su Wen chapter.

…………

Three days ago, in a small courtyard somewhere in the Magic City.

Ye Fan was invited by his business partner to visit a master.

The master's surname was Li. He didn't talk about Feng Shui, Buddhist scriptures, or karma. He was dressed in modern casual clothes and chatted with them. He looked very young, with fair skin and rosy glow. He looked even younger than Ye Fan when he was a college student. He had a kind of vigorous vitality and an extraordinary temperament.

Compared to some masters who are swindling, have sallow skin, talk about money all the time, and set up formations, what this master surnamed Li said shocked Ye Fan a little.

Master Li said: "Feng Shui? It's not that mysterious. According to modern scientific analysis, it is just some phenomena caused by the distortion of magnetic field."

"The human body also has a magnetic field. If you keep a happy mood, it will be much better than these external Feng Shui magnetic fields."

"That can't be said. I have a master from Taiwan who helps me set up the formation and adjust the positions of the doors and flower beds. The whole person is different inside. I have made a lot of money in recent years."

Ye Fan's business partner did not agree with what he heard. He was a superstitious person and admired Taoism and Buddhism. He loved reading ancient books. The concept of scientific magnetic field was a fallacy to him. If Master Li talked about the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and meditation and asceticism, he would have offered a gift instead of making a fuss about it.

"Magnetic field?" Ye Fan's heart moved. He was a college graduate with a genuine academic degree, and he was quite interested in the modern theories mentioned by Master Li.

It was the first time I heard a Feng Shui master say this, smashing his own signboard, and his face looked a little strange.

Li Pingan glanced at the two people in front of him and smiled. "Changing the layout of the room just proves the role of the magnetic field. This is some basic knowledge of modern architecture and design. If you open a window in the room, the sun is shining, the air is flowing, and you eat well and sleep well, how can you not feel happy?"

"When people are in a good mood, they will be more energetic in doing anything and their chances of success will be higher. This is normal."

Li Ping'an's remarks made Ye Fan's business partner frown, but he felt that there was nothing to refute.

Ye Fan nodded secretly, there is indeed some truth in it.

True and false, false and true, these masters are better at talking than anyone else. He believes that if a boss who is more inclined to modern science were to come over, he might believe in Master Li's stuff even more.

However, Ye Fan also knew that this might be a personal setting.

This master has his own set of theories, which are very effective for some people but repel others. However, it is better than wavering and pleasing no one.

Those masters who say one thing to one person and another thing to another person are easily "exposed" and their reputation in the circle is ruined, so they are excluded, which is not worth the loss.

"Well, then I'll take you to experience it." Li Ping'an glanced at the two of them. The famous Ye Fengchu still believed in this on Earth.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem surprising that I've only graduated from college for three years, drive a Mercedes, have some connections, and am interested in ancient books, so thinking about these things doesn't seem surprising.

"The human body's small magnetic field is actually very similar to the large magnetic field of the universe. From a modern perspective, the closest thing to this is sleep. The human body's awakening and sleeping are just like the rising and setting of the sun."

Before Ye Fan's business partner could speak, Li Ping'an waved his hands twice. The speed was neither slow nor fast, but in the eyes of Ye Fan and his friends, it was as if everything else had stopped. All they could see was the movement of the white hands wavering, and everything around them was quiet.

Ye Fan had many different feelings all of a sudden. His eyes followed the shaking of Li Ping'an's palm, which made him immersed in it. Following the arc, he came into contact with different things, the world, nature, and vitality...

There are many things, but the most obvious one is a warm current in the body, which spreads from the limbs and bones to the forehead.

Gradually, Ye Fan fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dusk. Rays of sunlight fell on the leaves, which reflected and flickered as the wind blew.

Ye Fan felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and joy. I wonder if anyone has experienced this before. It was just like when I was in high school and college, I woke up one afternoon and felt relaxed and full of energy from the bottom of my heart.

"This is!"

Ye Fan quietly admired the dusk in the yard, and then at a certain moment, he saw Li Pingan sitting opposite him and drinking a sip of tea. He suddenly woke up with a cold sweat.

How could he fall asleep so easily?
Ye Fan glanced at his business friend again. He saw that the other party was still sleeping soundly and seemed to be unaware of anything. He shuddered.

"Well, this is the effect of sleep, which stimulates the human body's small magnetic field." Li Ping'an looked calm. The tea in his hand was the ancient tea of ​​enlightenment that he had just bought from the Immortal Mountain not long ago. The taste was pretty good.

"Sleep..." Ye Fan's expression changed.

He knew that he had met a true master.

Feng Shui metaphysics is so popular, there must be some reason for it. I heard that some masters know acupuncture and acupressure, and this method of waving hands to make people sleep may be one of them.

The effect is naturally very good.

Ye Fan felt that this was the best sleep he had ever had since he started working and doing business after college.

However, the method of making people fall asleep without any warning made Ye Fan's heart ring with alarm. If someone had the intention of killing him for money at this time, he would be doomed.

Ye Fan suppressed his inner turmoil, pushed his companion next to him, and tentatively spoke without showing any emotion.

"Master Li is indeed amazing, no wonder he is so highly respected. I slept very well. In the past, I have only heard of masters with such miraculous skills."

“But those people seem to need the help of incense, pendulums, and various auxiliary instruments. They are not as powerful as Master Li.”

"This sleep is the best sleep I've ever had since I graduated... Oh no, I should say it's the best sleep I've ever had in my life." Ye Fan shook his head and exclaimed, his tone changed. It was obvious that Li Ping'an had shocked him a lot. His business partner also gradually woke up.

"You have just entered deep sleep. Scientific studies have shown that deep sleep is deeper than normal sleep, allowing the body to relax and truly rest. Few ordinary people can experience this, but there are still many people who can enter this state."

Li Pingan answered calmly.

Ye Fan thought thoughtfully, "Is this the switch of the human body's small magnetic field?"

He felt that after this sleep, his brain was much clearer and many puzzles became easy to solve. He did some math in his head and his face changed slightly. He felt like he had gone back to high school and was at the peak of his knowledge.

If he could be like this every day in his senior year of high school, he felt that he would have no problem getting into Peking University or Tsinghua University.

If you can always be in this state when doing business, grasping inspiration and seizing opportunities, it would be really amazing.

Is this a true master? No wonder so many people respect him. Ye Fan’s eyes changed when he looked at Li Ping’an.

"Awesome! So awesome!"

Ye Fan's business partner kept exclaiming in surprise, and his attitude changed 180 degrees. He no longer questioned anything and even wanted to buy a few lessons from Li Ping'an and ask for his magic weapon to be blessed.

Li Pingan shook his head. "I don't have these things here. I just have some sleeping positions and gestures. If you are interested, come and see."

Afterwards, he did not confiscate the money from Ye Fan and the other person, and sent them away, without paying attention to their invitation to dinner.

"I'm glad you can come again. Thank you, Master Li. We'll be leaving first." Ye Fan patted his business partner on the shoulder. He saw that the other party was a little dejected, but he was also very curious.

I was interested in this method of assisting sleep, but it was obviously a secret weapon of a master, so how could I get it so easily?

Ye Fan understood in his heart that this was very common inside and outside the circle, just like Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage, with everyone carrying his fancy sedan chair. If a master had the ability, he would visit more often, and it would be easier to talk to him after he became familiar with him.

Just looking at Li Ping'an's calm and extraordinary temperament, Ye Fan was a little dazed. Does such a person need those means to make money?

"Huh, I have an appointment with Master Li today, I have to go there quickly."

Time goes back to the present. Ye Fan came back to his senses, looked at his watch, put down the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, picked up the Mercedes-Benz key and walked out.

The wind blew slightly, and one could see that underneath the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine was a pile of books, newspapers, scientific research, etc. related to the human body, sleep, etc. It was obvious that Ye Fan had done a lot of research in the past three days.

"arrive."

Ye Fan drove very quickly and came to Li Ping'an's courtyard again. He parked the car and walked in.

Then his eyes flashed with surprise.

She was a woman in a white dress, extremely beautiful, with a gentle temperament and a delicate face like a fairy. Ye Fan had never seen such a beauty, who was many times more beautiful than any modern celebrity actress.

The woman was standing beside Li Ping'an, helping him grind ink.

"Are you here?" Li Ping'an waved his brush, leaving a big "heart" on the rice paper. He looked up at Ye Fan with a slight smile on his face.

Ye Fan reacted and hurried over, "Master Li."

He respected Li Ping'an very much because it was the first time in his life that he saw an ability that was beyond the scope of ordinary people and seemed not so ordinary.

Being able to make people fall asleep by waving the hand is too powerful. Not to mention the possibility of murder and robbery, it is an extremely beneficial thing for countless people suffering from insomnia. Don't be too easy to get rich.

Talking about money is an insult to Master Li.

However, Ye Fan still gave a gift box, which contained gifts that he had spent a lot of time to buy, so the gift was not shabby.

Li Ping'an accepted it with a smile and asked Zhao Linger to do other things.

'Zhao Linger.'

What Ye Fan thought of was an ancient fairy-tale drama that was popular in China in the early years. Taking a look at Zhao Linger's fairy-like face and temperament, he inexplicably had some associations in his mind, but then he laughed.

How could the characters in a TV drama appear in real life? It's just a name. China has a population of more than one billion.

What's more, this Zhao Linger is much more beautiful than the 'Zhao Linger' in the play. Her temperament is so extraordinary. Ye Fan exclaimed in his heart. It's strange to say, after Zhao Linger left, Ye Fan still had a vague idea of ​​her appearance in his mind, and his heart was always calm even though he was amazed by her beauty.

"Teacher Li, I came here this time to learn from you about sleep problems. I have also experienced insomnia."

Ye Fan quickly started talking. As he was successful in business, his conversation and speech skills were naturally extraordinary. Although not as gentle as a spring breeze, they were able to make people smile.

"Sleep? You want to learn? I can teach you." Li Ping'an smiled slightly and didn't keep anyone in suspense.

Ye Fan was delighted and bowed quickly. "Thank you, Master Li."

He was almost about to bow forward, like the ancients who kowtowed three times and nine times when they sought to become a disciple. The main reason was that Ye Fan was not very clear about which sect or school the Master Li in front of him belonged to, and whether these were required.

"There's no need to do that. It's just some normal experience." Li Ping'an didn't care about the conventional etiquette and started to follow the formal rules.

Coming to the world of Zhutian, he got the chance to be a master in the city. Naturally, he is not idle, he has just been studying some things recently.

"I have already explored all the fragments of the fairyland in this world of Shrouding the Sky and the strange world next to it. The sea of ​​the heavens is also within my sight. I have also explored the Soul River, the floating earth of the four poles, the burial pit, the road of reincarnation... I have also explored most of them. There are only a few supreme beings lying dormant."

When Li Ping'an entered this world, he was able to crush everyone with his strength. He could be said to have completed most of the main god's mission.

The difficult task of becoming an immortal in the mortal world can be accomplished by both him and Yuanshi's incarnation. As soon as Yuanshi's incarnation entered this world, he achieved perfection in the Tao and reached the pinnacle of immortality. Later, he became an immortal king more easily and is currently consolidating his cultivation.

On the contrary, the Emperor Li Pingan, who had attained the Dao, had not yet gone through this process, but he did not care. His mind was not on the task, but on exploring the trilogy worldview behind the world of Shrouding the Sky.

I have had some gains and speculations recently, so I am back to Earth.

After all, this is the key node. In addition to Ye Fan, there is also the Corpse Immortal Emperor. Li Pingan is unable to find out the other party like he can sense the weirdness, so he can only wait and see for the time being.

With his mind somewhat scattered, Li Pingan looked at Ye Fan in front of him, smiled slightly, and said: "Sleep is also a kind of practice, then do you know how to practice?"

"Practice?!"

Ye Fan was startled. He knew that Master Li was no simple man. Was he going to reveal his cards?

However, Li Pingan ignored him and continued: "In the Diamond Sutra, Subhuti asked Sakyamuni, "To become a Buddha, how to subdue the mind?"

"In one sentence, the true meaning of practice is revealed. In four words, conquer the mind."

“Cultivation exists in any era and never becomes obsolete, regardless of the environment or the changes in the world.”

"The mind has great powers, so Sun Wukong is also called the Monkey King of the Heart. Every person's heart is a Sun Wukong. If you can subdue the Monkey King of the Heart, you can become the Fighting Buddha."

“Sleep is the beginning of spiritual cultivation.”
