The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 32: Concentration Method

"According to this, black magic not only does not improve one's nature, it actually does not improve one's life either." Li Zhen said thoughtfully.

This is clearly reflected in Li Zhen himself.

He was ill and his body was getting weaker and weaker, so it was impossible for him to improve his "life". The book of the Twelve Black Magic Techniques did not mention this at all.

As for "sex", let's not even mention it.

Where is the discussion of inner cultivation in black magic?

It is a quick-learning technique known for its bloody cruelty and easy entry, and has nothing to do with "inner cultivation of the mind".

Master Danyang's eyes became a little surprised.

Sorcerers are generally cruel and ruthless.

But Li Zhen seems to be different from other sorcerers.

Not only does he have principles, but he also has a clear understanding of the black magic he practices.

This made Master Danyang even happier.

It is a good thing if the other party can listen to what you say.

"Black magic is indeed a kind of evil magic. It doesn't improve one's life, nor does it improve one's character. Using the will of an ordinary mortal to manipulate the power of evil beings to harm others, how can there not be trouble?"

"People who practice black magic are generally more extreme in character. After being exposed to bloody things, such people usually become even more extreme and violent. Once they are corrupted by evil spirits, how can they not fall astray?"

"Ancient texts say that the art of talismans is used to summon gods and exorcise demons, but if one's heart is not right, one will bring disaster upon oneself. That's exactly what it says."

After a moment of silence, Li Zhen asked, "Master Danyang, do you have a method for inner cultivation of 'nature'?"

If one acquires this method of cultivating one's "sexuality", can it reduce some of the negative effects of black magic, such as making one become extreme and irritable?
"Of course there are." Master Danyang nodded and said, "In our sect, the cultivation of 'life' focuses on breathing in qi and using talismans to nourish the physical body, while the cultivation of 'spirituality' focuses on the method of preserving the spirit."

"Although my master has passed away many years ago, I have never forgotten his teachings and have always persisted in cultivating both my body and soul."

Li Zhen's mind moved, and he continued to ask, "What is the meaning of this method of storing the spirit?"

Master Danyang patiently explained, "The method of concentrating the spirit is a way of cultivating the primordial spirit, elevating the mind and nature, making the practitioner's mind clear and clear, and gradually detaching from worldly thoughts."

Just like when he asked for blood before, Li Zhen didn't mince words and asked directly, "Can this method of spiritual concentration be passed on to others?"

He thought that Master Danyang might hesitate or even refuse directly, but unexpectedly, Master Danyang replied, "Okay."

This surprised Li Zhen greatly.

In his impression, this kind of master-transmitted method would not be easily passed on to others.

He didn't expect that Master Danyang would agree to teach him so easily.

This was beyond Li Zhen's expectations.

To be honest, he originally just wanted to take the opportunity to find Master Danyang to help the two ghosts reincarnate, and at the same time make some money, asking Master Danyang for some talismans and some blood.

Now it seems that there will be unexpected gains...

This must have been due to the fact that he handed the two ghosts over to Master Danyang, which made him have a better impression of him.

As for whether I can practice it, that’s not important. I’ll just get it and study it for a while.

Master Danyang noticed Li Zhen's surprise and shook his head with a smile: "Don't overthink it. This is not ancient times anymore. Many things are no longer secrets."

"Moreover, the deities preserved in the Divine Concentration Method are righteous deities. As long as one contemplates them daily, they can make one's mind clear and bright. If you can persist in practicing, that would be something I would be happy to see, so why not teach it to you?"

Li Zhen sighed sincerely, "Master, you have a very broad mind." Master Danyang laughed and said, "I don't deserve it. I just don't want to see you go astray, so I want to help you."

"Don't treat this method as some mysterious secret manual. It requires you to visualize the righteous gods, but in this day and age, how could the righteous gods easily give feedback to ordinary people?"

"I'm just using this as a way to cultivate my character, so don't expect too much."

"However, this method of concentrating the mind also requires mobilizing the circulation of Qi and blood during the meditation process, which can enhance physical vitality and also has a certain effect on life cultivation."

"You look sick. You should practice more on the art of preserving your spirit and refrain from killing others, lest you bring disaster upon yourself through an unrighteous heart."

After expressing his sincere gratitude, Li Zhen picked up the teacup again and asked an irrelevant question as if he were asking something casually: "Master Danyang, do immortals exist in this world?"

Upon hearing this question, Master Danyang shook his head bluntly and said, "If you're asking about living immortals, I can't say whether they exist or not. I can only say that I've never seen one, nor has my master, nor my master's master."

"Also, I don't think I'll ever see any immortals in my lifetime."

"Ordinary people see me drawing a few talismans, seeing that I know some Feng Shui secrets, and occasionally performing rituals, and they think I have some amazing skills. In fact, I am just a few trivial techniques."

Li Zhen's tone was somewhat melancholic: "Has no one ever achieved immortality through cultivation?"

Master Danyang still shook his head: "I don't know if there were such people in ancient times, but at least I have never known such a person."

Li Zhen said softly, "This is truly a hopeless situation."

Master Danyang disagreed: "Lifespan is determined by heaven. Everyone will die eventually. If you pursue longevity too much, you will fall into the lower realms. Only by following the laws of nature can you achieve the highest level of life."

Li Zhen laughed and said, "According to this theory, if a person is terminally ill, he should just quietly wait for death?"

This topic is a bit heavy.

Master Danyang was silent for a moment, organizing his words before speaking, "Life and death are the same, so why not be more open-minded and face the rest of your life? Of course, I'm not against treatment, but I'm against excessive anxiety and fear."

Li Zhen nodded silently, as if agreeing with Master Danyang's words.

After a while, he looked up and said with a smile, "Can I learn the talisman technique from you, Master?"

Master Danyang said: "To learn the art of talismans, one must first learn it. If you are willing to give up your black magic, then I am willing to teach you the art of talismans."

Li Zhen changed the subject and said, "I'm about to go on a long journey and don't know when I'll be back. Before I leave, I'd like to ask Master Danyang for some yellow talismans and some of his blood."

"These are all trivial matters." Master Danyang looked a little regretful, but his tone was very straightforward. "I drew some talismans early this morning and will give them to you later. As for my blood..."

Li Zhen had obviously already thought about how to get the blood: "Master Danyang doesn't need to cut himself to get the blood. I can ask someone to come and use professional blood transfusion equipment to get some blood."

Master Danyang was stunned.

He wanted to say that only a little blood could be taken out.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen actually asked someone to draw his blood.

How much blood will be drawn from him?

After chatting with Master Danyang for a while, Li Zhen took the yellow talisman given by Master Danyang and said goodbye and left.

Master Danyang finally warned again: "Your eyes are red and bloodshot, which is a sign of rising heart fire."

"Your complexion is pale and bloodless, indicating that you are ill. Furthermore, your face is bluish, which is a sign that evil spirits have entered your body."

"You'd better cultivate your character recently. Avoid bloody things, don't fight with others, use less evil magic, and don't let violent emotions control you, otherwise your body will find it difficult to support it."

Li Zhen smiled and wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered something and said to Master Danyang, "The matter at the bottom of the building is not simple. The evil spirits were created by human factors. If you have the opportunity, you can investigate according to the conditions."
