The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 505 Heart to Heart
There is a barrier between practitioners and the secular world.

Although Pan Yun had not received any systematic training, he knew that there were very few cultivation books circulating in the secular world.

If one wants to practice cultivation, one can either join a martial arts sect to enter the Tao through martial arts, or join various Taoist or Buddhist sects. Among them, most Taoist temples do not have cultivation scriptures and are all deceptive.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably knew this, so he exercised extremely strict control over monks and Taoists.

The royal family must have had manuals on cultivation, but perhaps due to the influence of heaven, talent, and acquired factors, few people were able to practice it.

She didn't know whether the Mu family had it, but judging from the situation of Mu Xi and Mu Lin, they had never practiced it, and even if they had it, they didn't know how to use it.

Once the words were spoken, they became promises. Pan Yun couldn't go back on her word. Besides, she did have a martial arts book that was very suitable for Mu Xi to practice.

It's not from this world, it's the skills from her previous life.

It is very common to learn the "mental power training method" after entering middle school. To put it simply, it is the training of consciousness.

She has memorized this set of exercises by heart since middle school, and practiced it from middle school to college and then to graduate school. It can be said that it is a set of exercises that she will never forget even after her death.

So she could write it down with her eyes closed.

Pan Yun took out a piece of paper and started drawing pictures. He drew seven or eight decomposition diagrams before he began to write the exercises.

After writing and drawing for an entire night, she went to find Mu Ang with dark circles under her eyes.

When Mu Ang saw the technique she sent him, he was surprised and suspicious: "Spiritual training technique? This... could it be a technique that can lead directly to God?"

Pan Yun: “…”

Pan Yun smiled awkwardly: "General Mu, you are really bold, even bolder than me. This god is not that god, this god refers to the divine consciousness."

Alas, isn’t it that the practice needs to be simplified and concise, so she also summarized it in the title of the book?

"The so-called spiritual training is to train the spiritual consciousness, awareness, and spiritual body," Pan Yun said: "Mu Xi relies on consciousness to control the insects, so this technique is most suitable for him."

Mu Ang: "...Master Pan also said that this set of exercises is suitable for Lin'er."

"Yes," Pan Yun said, "Mu Lin is very smart. He will become even smarter after practicing this set of skills."

She nodded and said, "General Mu, there is Niwan Palace here, which is the upper dantian. Martial artists cultivate the lower dantian, those who understand the Tao can open the three orifices, and those who cultivate the spirit cultivate the Niwan Palace."

"The so-called opening of the orifice is to refine the spirit, to extend the orifice and develop more orifices. This is also one of the ways to communicate with the spirit."

Mu Ang understood: "My son and grandson don't have the qualifications to cultivate the lower dantian, so you let them cultivate the upper dantian."

Pan Yun smiled at him and praised him, "Smart."

Mu Ang smiled and accepted the technique. "There are some techniques in the palace. In the early years, some members of the royal family were curious about your world, but it was very hard to practice. The royal family's resources were invested, but people did not succeed in practicing. Instead, they gradually became greedy. Later, Emperor Taizu ordered people to burn the classics and issued a secret decree that members of the royal family, nobles, and high-ranking officials were not allowed to practice. Otherwise, members of the royal family would be expelled, nobles would be stripped of their titles, and high-ranking officials would be dismissed."

Pan Yun was surprised: "How could this be?"

Mu Ang had a blank expression on his face: “You have never experienced that era so you don’t know. When the previous dynasty fell, the world was in chaos and demons and ghosts were rampant.

After Emperor Taizu Gao had pacified the country, the world was not at peace. Demons and ghosts lured Emperor Taizu's relatives, including his own sons. "

Mu Ang is the son of Mu Ying. He was still young at the time and didn’t know much, but from the few words he heard from his father and brothers, he knew how chaotic the situation was at the time, and how vicious and chaotic the things those nobles did were.

"For the sake of power and immortality, they indulge their desires and often eat the flesh and blood of women and children. They are extremely cruel." Mu Ang stroked the technique that Pan Yun had memorized stroke by stroke and looked up at her: "Master Pan, does your technique only cultivate the spirit? Do you need any help?"

Pan Yun said in a deep voice: "This set of skills can only be mastered through diligent practice. There is no shortcut, so there is nothing to help you."

Mu Ang raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Very good, I like this kind of practice."

He put down the set of exercises and said solemnly: "Next, I will trouble Master Pan to teach Mu Xi and Mu Lin." Pan Jun nodded and agreed: "I will start teaching them today."

She paused, then continued, "General Mu, once they enter the gate and Mu Xi controls the corpse worms, can I return to the capital?"

Mu Ang raised his eyebrows: "Master Pan wants to return to Beijing?"

Pan Yun nodded.

Mu Ang pondered and said, "You were sent by His Majesty. His Majesty's decree did not say that you should return to the capital, but it did say that if you do not want to stay in Yunnan after the matter here is over, you should go to the Longhushan Academy to study. Aren't you studying in the academy?"

Pan Yun: "The academy hasn't started yet."

Mu Ang smiled: "Master Pan is very confident. It won't take long. Even if you teach my stupid son and grandson tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow, it will be the end of March when you leave Yunnan and reach Jiangnan, right?"

The academy starts in early April.

Pan Jun pursed his lips and said, "My father and brother are still in the capital, I want to go back."

Mu Ang advised her: "Master Pan, although you are smart, the person in charge is confused while the bystander is clear. In my opinion, if you return to the capital, it will do more harm than good to your father and brother."

Pan Yun frowned.

Mu Ang said: "I just said that the royal family and the court are very taboo about cultivators. In this dynasty, only the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain has a title, and they are second-rank officials. But except for matters of the mysterious way, the Zhang family never talks about state affairs.

Even the official posts of the Imperial Observatory were held by the Zhang family half of the time, and the Imperial Observatory was only of the fifth rank."

Pan Jun seemed to be thinking about something.

"I heard that before leaving the capital, a bird demon caused chaos in the capital and attacked the imperial prison. Did Taoist Pan fight it?"

Pan Yun nodded.

Mu Ang asked her, "Can this be spread outside?"

Pan Jun blinked and said, "We didn't cover it up at the time. With such a big noise, many people must have seen it."

"News travels very quickly. As you traveled south, did you hear people talking about this?"

Pan Jun thought for a moment and shook his head: "No sound at all."

Mu Ang said: "Not only is there no news among the people, but there is also no news among the officials."

Pan Jun opened his mouth slightly.

Mu Ang: "If you are not closely related to my Mu family, I would need to inquire about your abilities. I am afraid I would not know at this moment. It may take years before I can hear something from my nephew."

Pan Yun looked suspicious: "Are you officials so tight-lipped? Aren't you always gossipy?"

Mu Ang choked and said, "Yes, the officials who are always talkative are keeping silent about this matter. Why do you think it is because?"

Pan Jun's eyes rolled: "Of course it can't be because of me, I'm not that important. So, is it because this matter involves cultivators and monsters?"

Mu Ang nodded.

“Although few people in the officialdom know about you now, officials above the third rank probably know about it. You have a high level of cultivation and are young. If you go to the capital, they will definitely be cautious and don’t want you to have too much contact with government affairs.

Your father was wronged. Both the person who wronged him and the bystanders knew that he was wronged. He made people feel sorry for him. But if you go to Beijing, the situation will be different. "

Mu Ang said to him, "The capital is already in chaos, and your father is having a hard time. You should stop making things worse."
