A Guide to Modern Cultivation

Teacher Yan didn't explain what he meant in his words?After saying this, he looked around the students again: "Today is the first day of our formal class, and your first small week has already run smoothly, so today I will directly teach you the second meridian diagram. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and in mid-air beside him appeared a meridian map in human shape like the first day of military training, on which the meridians flowed.

"The operation of the small circulatory system is to open up the various acupoints and normal meridians. After all the 10 acupoints are opened up, you can run the big circulatory system, accumulate energy, and prepare for foundation building. You need to pay attention when learning the operation of the small circulatory system. Only when you are a The meridian is completely opened up, and it runs smoothly without any blockage. It can be stably completed within about [-] minutes for a small week before you can learn the next one. Never rush forward. This is a major event that lays the foundation for your future. If you don’t want to make mistakes in your practice in the future, then be patient and ponder over it slowly.”

After all, Teacher Yan raised his finger upwards: "Now write down the running diagram carefully, and after you memorize it thoroughly, you can start to try to open up the acupuncture points."

After that, Teacher Yan closed his eyes here, as if in meditation.

Already accustomed to the teacher's style, the students all looked seriously at the human-shaped meridian diagram floating in the air, secretly remembering the running route on it.

Not long after, some students closed their eyes and began to meditate, one after another.

Almost in less than 10 minutes, all the people had closed their eyes, began to meditate and tried to open up new meridians and acupuncture points.

A thought flashed through Yunling's mind before he fell into meditation. He still remembered that when he attended the first military training class, no one could memorize the diagram of meridian movement at that time?Although it has something to do with the fact that the students know that this is not something they will learn right away, but in less than 10 minutes, all the students have memorized it now... I am afraid that this is why everyone has become sharper after entering the Qi refining period. Is it good?

With only a slight distraction in his mind, Yunling quickly gathered his mind, cleared his consciousness again, and began to try a new meridian operation...

About an hour later, Teacher Yan suddenly woke up all the students who were meditating.Many people were still a little confused after opening their eyes, as if they didn't realize where they were now.

Teacher Yan and other students came back to their senses and said: "The daily meditation should not exceed the limit of the body. If the acupuncture points feel sore or the meridians swell when the breath circulates, then stop. The human body has limits. If you don't care about it and think about it If you want to break through, not only will you not be able to save, but you will also damage the foundation, and you may even go crazy. This point will be the same after you learn the Great Zhou Tian in the future, understand?"

The students nodded obediently.

"Now is the time for free questions. If you have any questions about practice, you can ask them. If you don't have any, and you can still meditate, you can continue to meditate here. You can also go back to the dormitory."

Hearing Teacher Yan's words, almost all the students in the class were shocked - this is the first time they have encountered such a free and unrestrained class!

The students couldn't help but look at each other. Today, they meditate for the first time and try to run the second small Sunday. Everyone will have some problems.But because of the experience of getting through the first Xiao Zhoutian, most people can still refer to it and know where their problems are.

Of course, there were also people who raised their hands and posted very sincerely: "Mr. Yan, I feel like I can't control it when I hit the first acupoint with Reiki? I think Reiki seems to be a little floating?"

Everyone looked at the person who raised their hands together, and they all understood in an instant—isn't this Yang Wei who was the first to feel angry, and then almost lost his temper, and was guided by Teacher Yan to complete the first Little Weekend?No wonder his questions are so...not difficult, because the first time he hit the acupuncture points and moved the meridians was completed with the assistance of Teacher Yan!

Teacher Yan didn't show dissatisfaction at all, he still said flatly: "The breath inside the body and the spiritual energy outside are both a kind of Qi. Qi itself is invisible and colorless, so it is naturally difficult to control. Qi is light and difficult to control when it is in the body and in the meridians. There is nothing wrong with your feeling, as long as you are familiar with the sense of breath every day, push it a little bit, and master it, you will find the trick after a long time, this is only your own perception."

After answering Yang Wei's question, the others didn't expect any problems for the time being. Just when Teacher Yan was about to ask the students to do whatever they wanted, another male student weakly raised his hand: "Mr. Yan, I Can you ask a question that is not considered a practice?"

"Speak." Teacher Yan's expression remained flat.

"You said just now that if we want to operate the small cycle, we have to run the twelve orthodox meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians before we can run the big cycle. Then our qi refining period is also like some novels say. It is divided into qi refining layer, The second floor or something? What is the highest level?"

Teacher Yan lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about how to answer. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "There is no clear definition of the level in the practice. At most, there are only early, middle, and late titles for each big realm. Early stage It means that you have just entered the threshold, just like you just had the sense of qi before, even if you have not mastered the movement of Xiao Zhoutian, you have entered the door of the Qi refining period. The middle stage is the basic mastery of all the foundations that should be mastered in the level. In the middle stage of the Qi refining stage , should refer to the fact that you practice all twenty small cycles, learn and successfully run a big cycle. The previous learning is a process of accumulation. The later stage is to integrate what you have learned before, and adjust the essence, energy, and spirit When you reach the realm of Harmony, you are ready to break through and enter the foundation-building stage."

Everyone understood in their hearts, and felt a little bit of a sense of dissonance. This discord refers to a discord that is different from the settings of various cultivation novels they have read before.They originally thought that the early stage refers to the stage before they have learned all the twelve canons of the small circles, and the middle stage refers to the period between mastering all the twelve canons of the small circles and learning the eight extraordinary meridians of the small circles.And the later stage of course refers to mastering all but a small Zhou, before learning the big Zhou and breaking through the foundation building period!

But what Teacher Yan said is also reasonable. They are studying in school, of course they have to listen to what the teacher says!

Another boy actively raised his hand: "Teacher Yan, what are the levels of our cultivation world? Can we really become immortals in the end?"

In this first class, it was destined to satisfy the curiosity of this group of students first. Teacher Yan’s voice was still flat, and he answered the student’s questions: “Because the aura on the earth is exhausted, many of the previous classics are no longer. But With the recovery of spiritual energy and the appearance of fragmented spaces one after another, the practice world has roughly sorted out a part of the realm of practice."

All the students looked at Teacher Yan very seriously with their ears up.

"If you want to embark on the road of practice, you first need to exercise your body. According to Buddhism, the human body is a treasure boat to pass through the world. According to Taoism, the human body is the place where the soul communicates with all things in the universe. Therefore, to enter the door of practice, you need to cultivate yourself first. Body training is the first level of entry. Afterwards, refining and transforming qi, transforming the body's essence into qi, meditating and breathing, connecting meridians, and mastering various superficial Taoist techniques is the qi refining stage."

"Get rid of the mortal body, mobilize the aura of heaven and earth for your own use, modify your own body constitution, and lay a solid foundation for the Dao Foundation, which is to build a foundation."

"Having a sense of qi, cultivating the soul, refining qi and transforming the spirit to make the heart feel, sense the world, and master more spells is the period of concentration."

"The spirit and soul are stable, and the practice is strengthened. In the practice, one finds one's own path, explores one's heart, and builds a foundation for the future road to become a golden elixir. This is the golden elixir stage."

"The true qi is condensed in the dantian, concentrated and dense, full of true qi, emanating from the gods, like a baby, it is a nascent baby."

"Afterwards, it was rumored that there would be a catastrophe about a thousand years after the Nascent Soul was achieved. Some said that there would be three catastrophes, once every thousand years. They also said that there would be four catastrophes. After that, there were rumors that one could become a god after experiencing the five declines of heaven and man. But The following statements are only seen in gossip and stories, and it is temporarily impossible to determine what the situation is."

The students were stunned for a while, and one student asked eagerly without raising his hand: "Then is there no content behind the inheritance in our school?"

Teacher Yan nodded: "Currently, the relatively complete inheritance obtained in this cave space only reaches Yuanying."

The other students were also discussing: "Does that mean that after cultivating the Dao Nascent Soul, you have to figure it out by yourself?"

"I don't know if it's the same in other schools?"

"What's the rush, the heavens and the earth haven't merged yet, I'm sure we'll be able to find a more complete technique in the future!"

"Why do I feel that even if I reach the Nascent Soul, my lifespan is not too long? The thunder tribulation once in a thousand years seems to be quite short..."

……

Faced with the students' discussion, Teacher Yan only smiled slightly, and waited for the discussion to subside a little before speaking again: "You all know that practice is to cultivate longevity."

The students shut their mouths one after another, looked straight ahead again, and nodded to express their understanding of Teacher Yan's words.

"The country with the highest average life expectancy in the world today is only in its eighties. It is recorded in ancient books that as long as a practitioner does not die halfway, he can live for a hundred years during the Qi refining period-in today's days when most of the living conditions are good, it may be as long as It will be higher. It’s just that the recovery of spiritual energy is only about ten years old, and no one who has just started cultivating in these years has reached the limit. In the foundation building period, you can live for [-] years, concentrate your mind for [-] years, Jindan [-] years, and Yuanying [-] years old.”

After finishing speaking, he paused slightly: "Although you don't know how old you are when you practice, but when you can really cultivate to Yuanying, the outside world has already changed, and your old friends have been gone for a long time... Cultivation methods, secret books, these foreign things, even if you can't find them It’s not necessarily impossible to create it yourself, it just depends on whether you have the perseverance and the opportunity.”

Hearing this, the eyes of the students sparkled again. They all grew up under the impact of various knowledge and stories.So for self-creation, my fate is up to me, etc., but I really believe and look forward to it-yes!Even if we don't have the following practice methods, we might still be able to create our own!

They are still too young, what kind of realization is it that the former old friend in the teacher Yan's words is leaving?For the so-called centuries and millennia, it only stays in the concept of numbers, and only thinks that the bigger the better, the more powerful.

But self-cultivation is such a thing that allows young people to hone their own unique color from being ignorant of youth and having a heart higher than the sky.

Even if only one of the people present today can see the scene after Yuan Ying, for Mr. Yan, it is enough to make him feel relieved - even if he has become an old friend at that time.

What he said at this time and the delusion in the hearts of the students, even if they are illusory and difficult to realize, they may not be a path.Even though it is difficult, aren't the exercises they have obtained now are left by their ancestors?

Cultivating the Tao means cultivating the mind.Therefore, Mr. Yan was not dissatisfied with the students' little complaints before, nor did he feel that what he said just now and the excited look in the eyes of the students were too high-spirited.

Everyone has their own ideas. Because they are young, they may be frivolous and reckless, and occasionally they will open their brains to the point of brain twitching.But people all grow up from this age, and people all have their own different personalities and characters.

Since he came here to become a teacher, he treats all students equally, no matter how arrogant, ignorant, and frivolous they are in their hearts, it is his duty to teach the knowledge and guide their paths.There is no distinction between teaching and learning, not to mention human beings, even if there are some vegetation, ghosts and ghosts in front of him, they are all his students.

"Teacher Yan, can I ask your age? Also, what are you... now?" A girl raised her hand full of curiosity and embarrassment.

Teacher Yan looked at the girl, and then looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window: "I am in the concentrating period, and I can't remember the exact age. It should be... over 200 years old."

There was silence in the room.
