Chapter 23 Meditation
On the vast wilderness, a small group of mercenaries surrounded a large carriage and slowly advanced.
Leas was riding alone in the middle of the team. His black mage robe and hood covered his whole body tightly. The mercenaries guarding around him occasionally cast awe and curious eyes. He was ignorant and immersed in the meditation of daily practice on the bumpy horse's back.
The elemental elves sang around his body, responding to his will and his call, constantly entering and leaving inside and out of his body, and the magic in his body slowly began to grow.
Meditation is a compulsory course for every mage and is the first main feature of mages to distinguish other extraordinary professions.
The teaching in the carriage begins from the most basic theory to the meditation part.
"...The meditation of the mage is a purposeful way to exercise spiritual strength and magic. There are many methods of meditation. Each mage has his own most suitable method. Pay attention, which is the most suitable! There are no steps in meditation, only one key core."
Wu Chen now looks like a three-good student, with high concentration and high interest in his eyes. If he had such a spirit when he was in school, Peking University and Tsinghua University would be fine.
"What is the core of this key? It's very simple, the most suitable way to communicate with the elemental elves!"
"Teacher, I don't understand!"
Uris had no objection to Wu Chen's name, but smiled more kindly and patiently: "This is an enlightenment, a feeling, only when you are in it can you understand something. Okay, let me take you into a meditation state, and you need to understand the rest yourself. In communicating with the elemental elves, no one can help you, just because there are a thousand methods for a thousand mages, there is no best, only the most suitable one!"
"It's very difficult to enter meditation for the first time. Now we use some small means to give you a direct experience. With this experience, it's very simple to enter this state next time... Come...why do you close your eyes? No, now stretch out a finger, right, an arm, and stand between the two eyes..."
"Okay, don't think about anything now. Just look at your finger, observe it, observe its texture direction, observe its pores and hair... Be careful, just observe, observe... Okay, slowly retract this finger, watch it, and retract it to the tip of your nose. At this time, you will find that you have encountered difficulties in observing it... It doesn't matter, just because it is still in place. Yes, have you seen it in its original position?"
Uris' voice cannot be described, like a hypnotist. This warm, like a breeze caressing, made Wu Chen's thinking involuntarily operate according to his description. At this time, the fingers at the tip of the nose were ignored. Wu Chen "saw" the fingers that were one arm away from the hallucination? No, it is a very strange mental state, some of which are like images remaining in the brain, temporarily restoring.
"Yes, I saw it." Wu Chen replied in a sleepwalking tone.
"Okay, now I need you to retract this "finger" again. Yes, just like what I did just now...... Very good, you did it well, have you retracted this "finger"?"
"Yes, teacher."
"So, what have you seen now?"
"It's coming again, it's coming again."
"Then what are you waiting for? Yes, just like what you did just now, slowly and extremely natural, take it back..."
…………
After repeating this six times, Wu Chen felt that his consciousness was peeled off layer by layer. The position of the tip of his nose became heavier and heavier, but his thinking was taken off "layer after layer". His feeling became more and more sharp and more ethereal. This state is really indescribable. Only those who have experienced it personally can experience its magic and weirdness.
Of course, Wu Chen didn't realize these now. The "finger" was retracted again and again. Gradually, the "weight" on the tip of his nose became heavier and heavier, as if a vortex was forming, which wanted to win over his eyelids and increasingly ethereal spirit and inhale it!
Just then, Yuris' warm and comfortable voice came: "You want to close your eyes, do you want to fall asleep? OK, don't resist this feeling, close..."
Wu Chen closed his eyes.
"Very good, do you feel that it has been taken back too much and too heavy?"
"Yes, teacher."
"Well, you need to send them all back this time... Yes, that location you feel the most "empty"?"
“…behind the eyebrows, pineal gland.”
Uris was stunned and recovered in a blink of an eye, "Then let's start."
The weight that has been solidified on the tip of the nose is slowly pointed at the center of the eyebrows, "boom~~", it is like piercing a layer of skin, like opening an invisible "eye", and Wu Chen "saw" again. This "seeing" is completely different from the naked eye's sight, and is constructed by countless colorful color areas.
The world has faded its original appearance, and what is presented to Wu Chen's "eyes" is a "oil painting". Yes, countless colors are mixed, gradually turning into colorful images!
These images are active... No, the tiny particles that make up these colors are active. Wu Chen observed them in this state of sleep but not sleeping, thinking but not thinking. After a long time, this state became more and more stable. The idea and desire to get close to them naturally appeared without delay. He began to call these tiny particles without any delay.
At this time, Wu Chen successfully understood the first step of applying spiritual power, silent invitations and invisible shouts, which were countless times faster and countless times more accurate than language and body expressions.
This is the first time that thinking has influenced from the inside to the outside. No one taught him or told him what to do, but he just learned it, just like a baby who had just left his mother's body, breathing, crying, and swallowing breast milk for the first time...
However, those particles of color are indifferent to his call. A very small part of "curiosity" swam to his side and immediately lost interest and left. Wu Chen was not discouraged, nor did he have any discouraged thinking and thoughts. Time passed quietly in such attempts again and again...
