Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 4: Fire and water cannot harm you, life cannot end you

Ji Jingqiu's eyes lit up.

The word "entry" is profound.

He checked ahead of time.

Federal martial arts are divided into physical skills, combat techniques and visualization diagrams.

The three grades, from bottom to top, are: not entering the stream, lower class, middle class and upper class.

It is said that there are further grades above the best, but I can’t find it online.

Since Master Yang mentioned the word "entry", it must be more than just not up to par.

The middle level is also impossible.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t just talk about the entry level.

All in all, it is an inferior martial art!

He checked and found that some martial arts schools and boxing clubs on the Internet openly sell instruction courses on inferior combat techniques, with prices starting at 100,000 federal coins!

However, Ji Jingqiu noticed that Master Yang did not mention the visualization method just now.

Among the three, combat skills are the cheapest, while physical skills are more than twice as expensive. As for visualization methods, he couldn't find any relevant instruction classes at all.

"Excuse me, Master Yang." Ji Jingqiu said again, "I would like to know more about the visualization method. Can Master Yang help me solve this problem?"

"Visualization method..."

Yang Yan was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice,
"If you really want to learn the method of visualization, I can teach you when you enter the realm of true seed."

Yang Yao's face changed and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, Yang Yan gave him a warning look, so he swallowed his words and lowered his head obediently.

"Real seed?"

Yang Yan nodded and said:
"The five realms of martial arts are body forging, true seed, spiritual wandering, shackles, and mind state."

"Visualization is a spiritual practice. Only when the Qi and blood are sufficient can the spirit be vigorous. Therefore, most warriors start to practice spiritual practice after completing body training and entering the true seed stage."

"Starting tomorrow, Yang Yao will teach you how to practice standing meditation. If you are quick, you will be able to complete the body building and enter the realm of true cultivation within a year."

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said:

"I don't know martial arts, so I'll follow Master Yang's instructions. But I still want to learn from you about the specific practice process of visualization first."

Yang Yan was silent in silence.

He noticed that Ji Jingqiu seemed to be particularly obsessed with the method of visualization.

Yang Yan suddenly looked at Yang Yao and said, "Go and inform Liu Zi and Wei Er, and bring those two over. Teaching one is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching."

Yang Yao took the order and left.

After Yang Yao left, Yang Yan raised two fingers:

"Before practicing visualization, there are usually two prerequisites. I will explain it to you in detail later."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. There are two more prerequisites?

Doesn't that mean I've skipped a grade?
Not long after, Yang Yao led several martial arts students into the house.

The man who called himself Liu Xi was also there.

They all called Yang Yan "Master" with great respect, and it was obvious that they were all true disciples.

In addition, there were two boys and girls of similar age to Ji Jingqiu following at the back.

Yang Yan motioned for all the disciples to sit down and said slowly:
"It's just right, you all get to know each other, this is Zhang Xingshan, and this is Luo Xi.

This other little brother is called Ji Jingqiu.

The three of them will continue their studies at the martial arts school. Although they will not be my disciples, you should treat them as your junior brothers and sisters on weekdays."

Everyone looked at Ji Jingqiu with kindness and curiosity.

They had already heard about the specific details from their senior brother Yang Yao.

They had learned about the situation of Zhang and Luo from their master in advance. It was nothing more than an exchange of interests between the master and the relevant departments.

It's a deal, but also a compromise.

But Ji Jingqiu was entrusted by Ms. Mei.

Ms. Mei was the Master’s savior.

Which one is more important and which one is less important is clear at a glance.

After a brief introduction.

"I will show you the visualization diagram of my Yangyan Martial Arts School later, so that you can go back and give an explanation to your family."

Yang Yan looked at Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi and said:

"Also, although I promised your elders, whether you can learn it or not still depends on your own efforts. Remember not to slack off on weekdays."

Zhang and Luo returned the greeting respectfully:

“Students must work hard.”

One of them was calm, the other aloof; both of them looked pretty good, and they were both very respectful at this moment.

Occasionally he would glance at Ji Jingqiu with a curious look.

The reason they were able to appear here was because their family elders paid a considerable price to allow them to follow Master Yang and learn the martial arts school's visualization method.

Whose family is this person from?
Yangyan Martial Arts School became famous in a battle not long ago, and the most eye-catching thing among all parties was their [Hungry Tiger Holding a Knife Diagram]. This is a medium-level visualization method that is rare in the entire East 3 Brilliant Star!

Yang Yan nodded and began to teach:

"Today we will not talk about standing meditation or physical exercises. We will talk about visualization."

“Visualization involves spiritual practice, and you should wait until you step into the true seed before you start practicing.

However, I have my own unique method to guide you to practice spiritual cultivation in advance."

“In today’s Federation martial arts, martial arts is divided into external and internal scenes.

The inner scene is the human body, the outer scene is the universe, and the bridge between the inner and outer world is visualization. "

“Without visualization to connect the inside and outside, no matter how strong the body is, it is just a prison for the warrior. It is trapped in the four corners of the sky and it is difficult to know the vastness of the outside world.”

“Spiritual practice is difficult, it’s hard to get started, and even harder to master it!

The first step can be summed up in four words: Subdue your own heart.

Master Yang turned on the projection in the room.

In an instant, strange postures appeared out of thin air, some sitting, some standing, some even making strange hand seals, with eyes wide open...

In short, they are strange and bizarre, but give people a unique charm.

Ji Jingqiu felt that it looked strangely familiar.

It seems very similar to the yoga poses, Buddhist hand seals, Taoist mantras and so on in the previous life.

"As for spiritual practice, it was actually popular in the planetary era. At that time, our ancestors looked up and down at the heavens and earth, imitated the operation of all things in the universe, and created many postures, hand seals, and mantras to subdue the mind and gain peace and freedom at the spiritual level."

"But this kind of practice is destined to be a slow process, too slow, and it often takes several years or even more than ten years to see the slightest sign of progress."

"Until ten thousand years ago, there was a supreme grandmaster who saw all living things in the world and saw his true self. Finally, he combined the ancient methods, brought forth new ideas, and finally opened up a new path for the martial arts of the world.

And this path is the method of visualization.”

"Master, which supreme grandmaster in history are you referring to?" Liu Xi raised his hand and couldn't help asking.

Yang Yan said in a deep voice:
"Not just one, but seven! The seven founding marshals who laid the foundation of the federation ten thousand years ago!
They are not only the founders of the Federation, but also the pioneers of today's martial arts, and they are also the ones who cut through the thorns and blaze the trail!"

Luo Xi, who was standing by, had a look of admiration in his eyes, and he shared the same honor with Rong:
"Ji Tianxing, one of the six marshals, was born in our Dongsanhuang Star!"

At this point, everyone showed a sense of sharing the honor.

"Hero's Residence"

This is the only label worthy of praise for Dongsanhuang Star, which has long been reduced to a frontier planet.

Ji Jingqiu is well-versed in federal history.

I know that they are talking about seven heroes who made great contributions at the beginning of the federation.

Without these seven, there would be no Federation as it is today.

As for why Master Yang said there were seven founding marshals, while Zhang Xingshan only said there were six, this involves a federal scandal that has not yet been concluded.

On this side, Yang Yan continued to introduce:
“The first stage of spiritual practice is called meditation.”

"What is meditation?"

"To put it bluntly, it means having no distracting thoughts and being clear and bright."

“It sounds simple, but it’s actually very difficult to do.

The mind is as changeable as a monkey, and it is faster than a wild horse when it is unbridled. To subdue one’s mind and keep it free of distracting thoughts for a long time requires extremely strong willpower.”

Master Yang's voice came slowly and he spoke in great detail.

Ji Jingqiu listened very carefully, not missing a single word.

Although Master Yang didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that today's class was held temporarily because of him.

“After entering into a state of meditation, one can construct images in the inner landscape of the mind, imprinting the spiritual form of the visualized image into the spiritual plane.

At this point, the practice of visualization is on the right track.”

"So your first goal is to enter into a state of meditation."

"The sooner you enter into a state of meditation, the more beneficial it will be for your martial arts practice!"

"There are many benefits to entering a state of meditation. It can make your thinking more agile, your judgment more calm, and allow you to enter a deep sleep freely."

“Deep sleep is also known as golden sleep. Two to three hours of deep sleep is enough to keep people energetic for the whole day and speed up the body’s recovery.

Take Zhuang Gong as an example. Modern Zhuang Gong has a strong effect and is very harmful to the body. If you can master the state of meditation and enter deep sleep, your recovery after training will be far better than others, and you can further develop the potential of your body. "

Someone raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, what is after entering into samadhi?"

Yang Yan nodded: "After entering into the state of meditation, there are the stages of staying in the state of meditation, steadying the state of meditation and fetal breathing. But don't aim too high. Entering into the state of meditation is the starting point of spiritual practice, but it is also the end point for many warriors."

"Teacher, what realm are you in now?"

As soon as this question was asked, it immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

Especially Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi.

At a martial arts performance not long ago, the old master of Yangyan personally killed two masters of an underground organization. The strength and spiritual realm he displayed made the Public Security Bureau and the Security Bureau unable to help but step forward to win him over.

"I am now in Zhuding, and only one step away from Panding. I just don't know if I will have the chance to take this step in this lifetime."

Yang Yan shook his head with regret, then said with longing in his eyes,
"If one can cultivate to the point of stability, water and fire will not harm him, and his life will not end. Not only can his life span be greatly increased, but he can also endure the sufferings of the world. Even if he falls into a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and suffers all kinds of pain, he will not frown even once!"

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu's eyes lit up.
