Chapter 52: Other Ways of Cultivation
Zhao Hanyu found the directory from the drawer in the side room of the library, and then walked into the long bookshelf. It took him no time to find the first book he was looking for.
This book is called "The Fifty Levels of Practice of Taoism"
The name of this book is very simple. You can tell at a glance that it is about the knowledge about getting started with Taoism. It is precisely because it is simple, so it is also very common.
In order to fight against those demons with terrifying power and extremely powerful combat talents, the human world prohibits the introduction to basic methods such as cultivating body, bodybuilding, and body-enhancing, and marrow-cleaning, as secrets. Of course, major sects naturally have their own stronger methods. The basic methods of practice appear freely in front of everyone, just like natural rain and snow.
This introductory book is a practice method that can be bought in big cities and towns.
But Zhao Hanyu really hasn't read it, because in the past years, almost all the books he has read in Jingyang Sect are isolated books, and most of them are traditional Chinese in the previous dynasty. Now this book is the simplified font.
He picked up the fifty-pass scripture book, walked back to the door, sat on the clean floor, and opened the first page with the light from the sky sprinkled outside the door.
I saw eight words written on that page.
"Read the book a hundred times and its meaning will be revealed."
The first page is the title page, which is as blank as snow, with only eight thick ink and large characters, which are extremely clear. No matter who opens this book, it is impossible to miss it.
When ordinary people see this scene, they will first think carefully about what true meaning is hidden in it, and then continue reading with their understanding of these eight words. Zhao Hanyu is different. Instead of continuing to turn the next page, he got up and walked to the bookshelf, found several books related to the introduction to the Taoism, and quickly turned it around. He found that the title pages of these books all had the same eight words, and then sat back on the floor to continue reading, his mind fell on the book paper, and there was nothing else left.
The text of the Fifty Levels is very concise. He read it carefully and finished the first article soon after. This article talks about how to cultivate spiritual consciousness. He did not stop here, think or try, but continued to read backwards, and then several articles were gradually remembered in his mind.
He only took half an hour to finish reading, then closed the pages and began to close his eyes and meditate.
After more than ten breaths, he opened his eyes and turned on the pages again to read them repeatedly.
This time he used it for a shorter time than the first time, and he finished reading it again after only counting the incense sticks.
Then he closed his eyes again and began to meditate on the contents of the book.
After counting breaths, he opened his eyes and started reading again.
After repeating this several times, the sunshine that shone out from the window was still so fierce.
He closed the pages of "The Fifty Levels of Practicing the Way" for the last time, but never opened them again.
He took out his pen and ink, did not turn over the book, but only started to record some of his thoughts when he was reading the book based on the memory in his mind.
Soon, a lot of words appeared on the paper.
The moment he finally put his pen on the inkstone, the content of the entire book "Fifty Levels of Practicing Taoism" was recorded in his mind like carvings of stones.
The most important thing is that this is not mechanical memory, but real understanding.
This is how Zhao Hanyu reads.
This method is very special. It is a precious wealth he and his senior brother Li Zhe have obtained after more than ten years of hard study. In the seven years of Youyunfeng of the Jingyang Sect, Master Huayang found a vast book like the sea. If you want to memorize so many books in the shortest time, you naturally need some very special abilities.
Before this reading method, a book did not need to be read first and then read thinly and then read thickly. In fact, most of the books in Youyunfeng are still as new as before, but the contents in the book have been completely remembered by him.
The most important part of this method is the last step of notes. Whether you take notes on paper or in your mind, you are re-examining and confirming the entire reading process. Only by completing this step can you say that the reader has completely transformed the content in the book into his own knowledge.
After reading "The Fifty Levels of Practice of the Tao" and closing the pages, it is naturally not the end. Learning and practicing it from time to time can be done in your mind and notebook, but what is the purpose of reading and learning? It is practice. The purpose of his reading "The Fifty Levels of Practice of the Tao" is to be able to understand what kind of 50 barriers it is.
The moment he closed the pages, he began to be confused.
About four-fifths of this book talk about the problem of the Lun Light Realm, five chapters talk about the troubles that Dongxu may encounter, and two chapters briefly describe the reactions that the Tianxuan Realm should have, but compared with him, it is useless.
His biggest purpose is to find the true essence in the book after passing through two orifices that are different from ordinary people, and to experience what the true essence is, and how much the nature of the true essence is similar to that of normal people or what.
This is one of his biggest secrets. Although Master Xuanwei has some judgment and will be no different from ordinary people after understanding the two orifices, it is ultimately speculation that for tens of thousands of years, he is the only one who has such a unique personality and has not even a reference object.
Zhao Hanyu was stunned for a long time and realized that the book might not be able to solve this problem. He was not as disappointed as he had just discovered that he had no hope of practicing, nor was he desperate. That feeling was of no help to practice.
"Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will be revealed."
Even if there is no direct solution in the book, as long as there is indirect help, it can satisfy his desire.
A sudden flash of inspiration in my mind, and I thought to myself, why not do this?...
He turned the book in his hand to the last page, looked at the dense titles recorded on it that were similar to the book, then stood up, went to the long bookshelf, found all the books recorded on the last page of "Fifty Levels of Practicing the Way", and then carried the thick stack of about fifty books back to the original place, and began to study them carefully one by one.
He skipped the chapter of the Lunar Light Realm and started directly from the cave, reading it page by page, volume by volume.
After reading the thirteenth book, he felt a feeling in his heart. He put down the book in his hand, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
In about half an hour, he frowned slightly, opened his eyes, looked a little confused, and picked up the fourteenth book and continued to study.
This repeated situation occurred for the third time, and there was only a lot of books left in front of him. Zhao Hanyu carefully felt the different gains of the three meditations, and felt that he seemed to have grasped something, as if he had vaguely seen the thread end in a mess, but the thread end was erratic, and it was difficult to grasp it tightly.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't understand it. He shook his head, continued to pick up one of the remaining three books and continued to read.
He did not notice that in the shadow beside the bookshelf, Taoist Qiu Feng had been standing here secretly for more than an hour and had a strange look on his face.
Zhao Hanyu had a bold idea. Although he failed to reach the orifice, he had already known all kinds of reactions and changes in the Lunar Light Realm after reading the collection. All the introductory books recorded similarities and the core content was the same.
He read all the descriptions of the cave realm in the books, and secretly observed and experienced the feelings of the wheel light realm at the level of the operation of the true essence of the cave realm.
If this move is known by the solemn and upright seniors, they will be furious and scolded him for his whimsical thoughts and even think that he has entered the path of devils. You must know that the path of cultivation is always a step-by-step progress, step by step, and such disobedient ideas, practical means and guidance methods of famous and upright schools are absolutely incompatible.
However, Zhao Hanyu received the teachings of the Jingyang Sect Shuode Huayang Zhenren, and was good at integrating different kinds of knowledge to form new knowledge and insights. With this premise, he involuntarily made bold attempts involuntarily with the flash of inspiration.
Unfortunately, because of his shallow cultivation, he has not even entered the first realm, so this practice can almost be called a failure. However, during the entire experience, he seems to have such a slight gain, and his accumulation in the future may not bring a new world.
Zhao Hanyu finished reading all the books about introductory books, but after practicing it, he failed to confirm his ideas. He did not discourage him, returned the books one by one, then sat down cross-legged again, and used his spiritual sense to guide his "semi-finished" true energy to continue rushing to the point.
This time, my introspection seems to be a little different than before.
The outline of the mountains inside the body seems to be clearer?
The stream is more spacious?
The color of the fog has become a little lighter?
Is the gray airflow outside the several huge acupoints more obvious?
......
Zhao Hanyu condensed a thick stream of true energy, and tried his best to condense it into a sharp and sharp cone shape, piercing it hard into the eighth dark golden acupoint that was unique and hidden.
The pointed cone collides with the gray airflow and pierces into the airflow...
After half an hour passed, the tip of the cone still could not penetrate, but after entering a small thread, it could no longer enter.
Zhao Hanyu's face turned red and his forehead was swollen and painful.
He knew that he had reached his limit, and no longer forced him. He slowly withdrew his true energy, dispersed and returned to various parts of his body, then stopped his power and opened his eyes.
He recalled carefully that he had just stabbed the barrier, and vaguely felt that there had been a little progress compared to the past, and it seemed that he had gone deeper.
This discovery made him quite excited. The hard work of several months of hard work was a little progress, and it was not completely futile.
He stood up and jumped on the spot for a few times. For him as calm as he was, it was almost impossible for him to happen on weekdays.
At this time, Taoist Qiu Feng walked out from behind the shadows and called out with a smile: "Child, I am very pleased with such diligence and hard work." After that, he smiled and walked towards him.
Zhao Hanyu was shocked when he heard this. He turned around and saw Taoist Qiu Feng. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Uncle Master praised him. My nephew is already behind, so he dare not be lazy and delay."
Taoist Qiu Feng walked up to him, reached out to pinch his shoulders, elbows, and waist. He thought of the spiritual consciousness that he had just felt as if he had rushing to the orifices, and was a little surprised. This young man had excellent roots and bones, and his foundation was extremely solid. In addition, his character was pure and successful in his practice in the future. The Taoist entrusted him to him is really the best choice.
Taoist Qiu Feng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Child, your master has something to bring to you, and has prepared a meeting gift for you. How about it, are you happy?"
