Day and night tour

Chapter 55: Boil the Eagle
Yuan Buyu exclaimed in surprise, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be twisted into two words - "incomprehensible".

Zhou Xuan glanced at the open folding fan next to the incense burner and the moved wake-up stick, and asked Yuan Buyu: "Old Yuan, have I been enlightened?"

"Wait for me for a moment."

Yuan Buyu walked over to Zhou Lingyi, who was standing with a parasol and watching the ceremony, and said, "Boss, I'm afraid the walls have ears."

Zhou Lingyi smiled and said, "There is no one on the battlefield outside the courtyard."

In order not to delay Zhou Xuan from lighting incense, Zhou Lingyi asked five senior brothers to help clear the place in advance, and then dismissed the five senior brothers.
There are no outsiders in the outer and inner courtyards.

"Better be careful. I, Old Yuan, have suffered a lot in this regard." Yuan Buyu reminded.

Zhou Lingyi also agreed, untied the cowbell from behind her waist and shook it towards the ancestral tree.

The umbrella-like tree canopy shook violently, casting many black shadows that swam towards various corners and passages in the Zhou family's inner courtyard.

"These puppies are nourished by the ancestral tree, and naturally they are also restricted by the ancestral tree. If they dare to reveal any secrets that are detrimental to the Zhou family, they will be killed as soon as they think of leaking secrets."

There are puppies watching every corner of every passage in the yard, and the puppies are good at keeping secrets, so Yuan Buyu is not afraid of having ears around.

He breathed a sigh of relief first, and then he shouted: "Xuan Zi, are you being polite?! I have seen the world, how can I get such a quick revelation? Is that polite, is that polite..."

Yuan Buyu still couldn't help it, and a series of "That's decent" came out of his mouth, which made him let out a sigh of relief and feel a little better.

"Old Yuan, am I really inspired by God?"

Zhou Xuan was also surprised. Old man Yuan had just said that lighting incense to enlighten the gods was a physically demanding job. Not only was it hard, it also took time. Three days would be considered fast.

Yuan Buyu did not deny it: "The folding fan opened without anyone touching it, and the wake-up stick sounded without anyone hitting it. This is clearly a sign of divine revelation from the storyteller. There is no way I can be wrong... By the way, tell me, what did you see when you lit the incense?"

Zhou Xuan first talked about how he felt the incense, how he urged the incense to grow stronger, and how it turned into a fire dragon, roasting him uncomfortably.

"So far, everything seems normal."

Yuan Buyu nodded.
Zhou Lingyi disagreed and said, "Master Yuan, my brother is no longer normal. When the disciples first felt the incense, their minds were in a mess. It took a whole day just to see the incense head, not to mention stimulating the incense..."

Zhou Lingyi naturally has a say in lighting incense.

Yuan Buyu smiled bitterly and said, "Master, how could I not know the key point you mentioned? To stimulate the incense, we must rely on our perception to connect the incense with our heart.

Just like a baby's hands and feet, although they can't exert force and are not very flexible, their hands and feet are already their own. Ordinary people don't have enough perception, so their hands and feet grow slowly. Naturally, it takes a day to activate the incense.
But Xuan is not an ordinary person. He is a psychic of the Blood Well. After seeing the Blood Well, his perception is extremely strong. Before he entered the hall, his perception was comparable to that of the Yin people of the psychic lineage. It is not too difficult for him to activate the incense! "

"After listening to what Mr. Yuan said, it is indeed true."

Zhou Lingyi's understanding of the Blood Well was not as deep as Yuan Buyu's, but Yuan Buyu had taught a disciple who could communicate with the Blood Well, so he had rich teaching experience and could understand Zhou Xuan's abnormality more clearly.

"Xuan Zi, you can activate the incense so quickly, which shows that you have extraordinary perception and talent, but this is normal. At most, your talent is two or three levels higher than that of normal disciples, which is still within the range of understanding..."

Yuan Buyu is a master who has seen and experienced a lot. Ten years ago, he was one of the most famous storytellers. He has seen many talented young people.

"What I can't understand is that the gods wanted to suppress your character, but you were able to break free so easily."

"When did he ever suppress my character?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Just when you urged the incense to burn, the fire became a dragon. The fire was caused by the gods. He saw that you were too talented, so he lit a strong fire so that you would suffer.

When you have one foot in the coffin, he will take the initiative to reduce the fire. Then he will wait until you have recovered and then fuel the fire again. This will repeat over and over again. It is painful and unbearable. If you can still hold on to the end, it means that you are sincere in lighting the incense."

"Why does it sound like staying up all night?" Zhou Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"It's to train your spirit to be stronger and your temperament to be calmer..."

After Yuan Buyu finished explaining, he also talked about some of the difficulties encountered by the disciples when they lit incense. Because burning incense can take as short as three days or as long as four or five days, meditation cannot stop, and you have to close your eyes when eating and drinking, and always focus on the incense in your mind, and you can't let it get distracted. If you get distracted, you have to start all over again. Fortunately, when you light incense, the gods are in your heart and you don't feel sleepy, otherwise it would be even more difficult.

Some disciples couldn't bear it, so the master took a rattan stick and whipped their buttocks and thighs, using the pain to sustain their spirits.

If he beat me hard, my butt would be bruised and my pants would bleed.

"The incense that the disciples lit was not incense, but a series of beatings with rattan sticks. Come on, tell me in detail how you broke free from the fire dragon?"

"Just take a look."

"How do you see it?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I didn't think about anything. I cleared my mind and looked at the incense stick with my eyes wide open. I just kept looking at it."

"Just watch?"

"Ok!"

"Is it enough to just look?!" Yuan Buyu felt his brain was a little crowded and couldn't think straight.

This person is so annoying. The fire lit by the gods can be put out without any action?

At this point, it was completely beyond Yuan Buyu's understanding.

"If any disciple of the Incense Hall could light up the incense just by looking at it, he would have to suffer fewer beatings!"

Yuan Buyu felt sorry for his disciples and also for himself. He was beaten with a cane for four days while lighting incense.

“By the way, when I was lighting incense, I encountered a strange thing…” Zhou Xuan recalled.

"Really?" Yuan Buyu perked up and said with a little excitement: "I knew it wasn't that simple. Telling it out loud will help me feel more balanced!"

Zhou Xuan said: "When I don't think about anything, I feel like I am not standing, but sitting on a white-sailed boat. There is a low table on the boat, and on the table there is an incense burner with a stick of incense lit."

Yuan Buyu calmed down after hearing this and said, "This is normal. That is your divine secret realm."

He explained that no matter whether it is a ghost or a god, after lighting incense, a secret place will appear in the heart.

The secret realm of the Yin people is called "Zou Yin Secret Realm".

The secret realm of gods and men is called the "Secret Realm of Divine Revelation".

"The Secret Realm of Divine Revelation is your spiritual path. The gods light up your way forward through incense. The scenery along this road is generally bright and sunny for gods and gloomy for ghosts, but there are slight differences for each person."

Yuan Buyu said: "The first incense stick is attracted by the external incense, and the second incense stick is to be found in your secret place. You sit in the boat, and when the boat moves, you are looking for the second incense."

After he finished speaking, he murmured, "There are signs of divine revelation and a divine secret realm. This is a serious divine revelation, but why are you lighting the incense so quickly?"

"I also think it's too fast." Zhou Lingyi looked at Zhou Xuan carefully and said, "It doesn't seem like he is just talented..."

On this point, Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu reached a consensus that it is okay to have high talent, but there must be a limit.

Take the most primitive jumping as an example.
A person with average leg strength can jump one to one and a half feet.

For those with strong legs, two to two and a half feet.

For those who are extremely gifted, three and a half feet is the limit.

But suddenly there was a person who could easily jump three meters high... Is this a talent? He could fly with two wings!
"Mr. Yuan... do you know the reason?" Zhou Lingyi asked Yuan Buyu.
