Salt woman and white lotus

Cultivating the Tao first cultivates the heart, and those who cultivate the truth must first uphold the self before they can comprehend the method of practice.

In the previous two months, Chi Zhongying had almost cultivated her state of mind.Concentrating on boring work is a temper and test of the state of mind.

Without enough focus, nothing can be done.

It was Chi Zhongying's choice to learn the sword. The basic cultivation methods can be started in any way, so she chose the one she thought looked the most handsome.

"Alright, after you have learned enough sword skills, you can learn about other fighting methods." Bai Yan affirmed her thoughts, "Before the fifth rank at the latest, you can change the content of your cultivation relatively easily. Wait for you to be promoted Let's make a decision after reaching the second-rank immortal general."

Cultivation in this world generally involves exercising the body first, and then refining the qi.Chi Zhongying practiced swords every day according to Bai Yan's request. After practicing for the second month, Bai Yan handed her a book.

"What is this?" Chi Zhongying took it in doubt.There was no title on the book. When she opened it, the densely packed small characters made her a little sick.

Baiyan: "This is the mental method."

The mental method is not used to improve the state of mind, but to assist martial arts and body skills. When you start to practice internal strength, the mental method is also used to guide the rhythm of breathing.

"Let's memorize it first, and I'll teach you how to practice internal strength when you're familiar with it." After Bai Yan finished speaking, he went back to the study.She nestled in the study every day, and Chi Zhongying always felt that she was doing something big.

Fortunately, the book is not thick.Chi Zhongying estimated that it was probably tens of thousands of words.

Chi Zhongying has studied Chinese studies, and has memorized three hundred thousand, disciple rules and the Analects of Confucius.Later, when she was in school, she also liked to pick out some interesting things and memorize them, so that she could give Amway to other classmates and friends.Although she doesn't like reciting, reciting is something she has long been used to.

Chi Zhongying opened the book confidently and turned to the first page.

"The source of the chaos, the vast universe, the spiritual core of Taoism..."

She closed the book expressionlessly.

Open it, it's still those messy words.

Close up.Maybe she opened it the wrong way.

Open it, close it.

There must be something wrong! !Chi Zhongying's forced composure cracked.

She felt suffocated for a while, and the pain from being repeatedly beaten by "The Doctrine of the Mean" came back to her, so clear, so ironic...

Chi Zhongying wept silently, opened the book resignedly, and decided to calm down and read it first.

The mental method is not as long as she thought. After all, this is just a junior mental method for monks who can't become immortals.Chi Zhongying didn't know that she already had immortal-level spiritual power in her body, but this spiritual power was enough to improve her comprehension and memory.

The first half of the mental method is the mental method, and the second half is various applications.How to work, how to maintain, how to immerse yourself in it...

Moreover, just by reciting, Chi Zhongying felt his love for this method.

How should I put it, it was as if there was a cat lying beside her hand, making her want to reach out unconsciously.

This mentality suits her very well.

Endorsing is a difficult process. This time, Baiyan specifically agreed that Chi Zhongying didn't have to continue cooking.Baiyan cooks the food herself. Although she can't compare to Chi Zhongying, the food she cooks is still delicious.

Chi Zhongying was quite embarrassed, but Bai Yan said flatly that she was used to it.

"What's more, since you call me Shizun, I should make you full. I want to eat, so I just made an extra portion for you."

After much deliberation, Chi Zhongying couldn't remember that Bai Yan was a foodie in the original book.Cultivators have their own preferences, but Bai Yan is known for her lovelessness. She never eats as delicately as others, and occasionally she cooks any medicinal materials that she needs.

She still remembered that Baiyan had a very famous story of cooking for the new disciples of Suzhuang.Living in the wild, those disciples had just taken medicine and couldn't move, so she boiled a bunch of messy things in one pot and poured them down.

In the end, those few people were embarrassed and cried.

...It turns out that this is because Baiyan doesn't know how to cook?Chi Zhongying recalled that Bai Yan occasionally followed her to observe when she was cooking.

Ah, happiness.

Let idols cook for themselves, and cooking for others is so unpalatable, only cooking for themselves is delicious.

This is probably called happiness.

Chi Zhongying finished her meal happily, and then continued holding the book with tears streaming down her cheeks.

It's true that you can't escape learning at any time.

It has been two weeks since she finished reciting the heart method.The vest method is an extra task, and the practice of knife method and Lingxiu is not left behind.

Internal strength is also taught by Baiyan.

"First learn the meridian map, and then learn the Qi refining method. I will help you guide the Qi into the body, and then I will guide you to circulate for two weeks."

Bai Yanping stretched out his hand and spread out his palm in front of Chi Zhongying. The pure spiritual power turned into bright lines and interweaved into a three-dimensional net in the air.

"This is the most common meridian diagram. The meridians of the vast majority of cultivators in the world are like this, and they will continue to approach this, and occasionally encounter a few special situations." Bai Yan said, "For example When I was a second-rank cultivator, I met a warrior of the Whale Clan, the meridians of the Fog Whale were not transformed into Taoism due to unknown reasons, so his meridians were different from ordinary people..."

As Bai Yan spoke, he changed the graphics in his hand and showed her the main meridians of ordinary people.

"A cultivator draws qi into the body and develops internal strength. After ascending to the immortal, the internal strength is transformed into spiritual power, and the mortal body becomes an immortal body..."

This lecture is one day.

Chi Zhongying waited for her to finish speaking before realizing that the sky outside the window was already dark.

And she didn't feel hungry.

Maybe this body is more resistant to hunger... What's more, compared with cultivating immortals, eating is indeed not a temptation.

Chi Zhongying slowly raised her hand to signal that she had something to say.

"...Master, can we eat first?"

After finishing dinner, Bai Yan took Chi Zhongying to sit down in the tea room.

"In the late stage of cultivation, the aura naturally circulates to communicate with the world, but if you are not proficient in the early stage and don't understand the meridians, it is necessary for monks to use traditional practice methods to meditate and meditate."

Bai Yan signaled to Chi Zhongying.

"Sitting and forgetting itself does not require posture, but the more you relax naturally, the more you can get rid of the negative influence of the body and sense the outside world." Bai Yan simply sat cross-legged, with his back straight and his hands on his knees.

It's not the same as what Chi Zhongying thought, she thought it would be something with five hearts, but Bai Yan's posture is very ordinary sitting cross-legged.If her face was replaced with that of Chi Zhongying's mother, Chi Zhongying even felt that she was going to talk about homework in the next second.

Of course, Bai Yan's dignified and indifferent face still has the atmosphere of cultivating immortals.

Chi Zhongying also sat cross-legged according to Bai Yan's posture.

But Baiyan said, "Don't learn from me."

Chi Zhongying:? ?

Baiyan: "You need to find the posture that relaxes you the most and at the same time allows you to feel the outside world and yourself. Your shoulders, back and ankles are all tight right now."

"Oh, you need to relax." Chi Zhongying adjusted quickly.

relax... relax...

Chi Zhongying moved the angle and posture of the shoulders and back, and finally made a very decadent look - a meditator.

Bai Yan sighed softly, got up and came over, "Sitting like this is not conducive to smooth breathing. Imagine that you just ran a long distance and gasped for breath. Is this posture comfortable?"

Uncomfortable and aggrieved.

Bai Yan stood behind her and touched Chi Zhongying's back. He could feel her bones along the spine line.She pressed her fingers at the end, and touched them one by one.

Chi Zhongying trembled all over, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Master...?"

"Don't move, you're touching the bones." Her voice was calm, and there was no overstepping.

Chi Zhongying calmed down slowly.Yes, this is white salt.

But she hasn't been touched like this by anyone other than her family for a long time, let alone this relatively private place.

... a little itchy.

After Bai Yan finished touching the spine, he went to touch the muscles of her back and waist and hips.

After checking carefully, she pressed Chi Zhongying's abdomen and back with her hands one after another, and adjusted her sitting posture for her.

"Straighten up a bit more, yes, raise your head... No, don't straighten your waist forward, don't inhale and draw in your abdomen." She pointed at Chi Zhongying's lumbar spine.

Chi Zhongying blushed and tried her best to adjust, even if she didn't think in the direction of ambiguity, she was too close!

Moreover, although Chi Zhongying doesn't care much about Romance, Danmei, and Baihe, she at least knows that master and apprentice are CP hotspots!

Bai Yan adjusted the posture of her upper body, and only then did she see her flushed face.

"Is it itchy?" Bai Yan recalled the past when he gave advice to his nephews, "You can laugh."

Chi Zhongying said with a straight face: "It's okay, I can bear it."

Bai Yan looked puzzled, watched Chi Zhongying nodded calmly to her, and continued to touch the muscles and bones of Chi Zhongying's legs.

The legs are much better than the back, and the leg bones are much more recognizable than the spine.Bai Yan adjusted her posture, stepped back a few steps and looked again.

"Huh... that's not right." Bai Yan frowned slightly.Chi Zhongying's shoulders and legs are adjusted according to her flesh and blood, but why are all the muscles in her body starting to stiffen?

According to the correct posture, Chi Zhongying should not have muscle stiffness, let alone be tired...

Bai Yan rubbed his brows, and said helplessly: "It seems that you are not suitable for meditation. If you are not suitable for sitting, there is actually another way..."

Chi Zhongying slowly put a question mark in her heart.

Bai Yan grabbed Chi Zhongying's ankles and pulled her suddenly, causing her to lie down on the ground.

With question marks on her forehead, Chi Zhongying watched Bai Yan come up, pulled her hands away, and let her lie down on the ground in a large font.

"It's also possible to lie down. You don't have to sit to sit. It's most convenient to feel the world and people lying down. It's just that it's easy to fall asleep while practicing lying down, so it's not often used."

As Bai Yan said, his whole body floated up, and he pressed his palm on Chi Zhongying's heart, "I'm going to start next. Feel your heartbeat."

Chi Zhongying looked at her and slowly closed her eyes. She heard her heart beating, bang bang... bang bang...

Accelerated slightly due to nervousness.

She felt something flowing down Baiyan's palm, and a similar soft "flow" emerged from her limbs, intimately converging with the spiritual power from Baiyan.

Operate according to the meridian diagram just learned.

Chi Zhongying closed her eyes, but "seeed" the surrounding situation.She saw the smoke-like aura flowing in the tea room, and realized that the lightly fragrant tea leaves in the tea room were actually fairy grass.

She saw that the empty bowl of the dinner she had just had was still placed at the door of the tea room. The tiny bright spots left in the bowl proved that what she had been eating all along was also precious spiritual plants.

And Chi Zhongying herself, when she saw herself, she remembered that period of "drifting".Her body wasn't a body, but an unrecognizable mass like that.But when she wanted to explore carefully, she felt that it was indeed a mass of pure spiritual power——Chi Zhongying's body was not diabolical.

The most important thing to ignore is white salt.Because there was a ray of spiritual power in Chi Zhongying's body, she and her spiritual power were connected, so Chi Zhongying saw Bai Yan's spiritual power.

Baiyan's body is not spiritual power, but a mass of nothingness.

Empty, deserted.Not a trace of life.

Two weeks later, Baiyan disconnected from Chi Zhongying, and the most conspicuous presence in Chi Zhongying's eyes disappeared.Baiyan's strength is so strong, it's not something she can detect.

Chi Zhongying continued to run her spiritual power, and she felt the power in her body gradually gather, until Chi Zhongying felt that she was about to be unable to control it, and then slowly stopped.

She opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at her hands.

Bai Yan looked at her and said indifferently: "You are born with a fairy body. You are a mature adult with no father or mother. Since you became conscious, you have been unrestrained. Your path of cultivation will be smooth."

——Spiritual adult, no father and no mother.

——Bai Lianhua, the head of the Bai family, was born in Chengshu in 32 years, and her parents have passed away.

Chi Zhongying raised her head and slowly smiled at her.

"Maybe, I don't know what I am now." Chi Zhongying looked at Baiyan who was close at hand, and suddenly felt a strong urge to analyze and confess to her.

She has always been trusted by Baiyan.

She asked, "Baiyan, can I trust you?"

Ever since Bai Yan confessed his identity before, the two rarely called each other by name.

"Baiyan", "Xuanhua", "White Lotus"... These names seem to be taboo, neither Baiyan nor Chi Zhongying are willing to mention them.

Bai Yan called Chi Zhongying, and most of them directly called her apprentice, and Chi Zhongying only called her Shizun, and occasionally called her sister Shizun nondescriptly.

Bai Yan didn't respond at all, and just let her go with a mocking laugh.

At this moment, Bai Yan and Chi Zhongying were standing and sitting, but they looked at each other with the same calmness.

They are a kind of people, and they can feel that the other party has no malice.

Bai Yan didn't answer, but Chi Zhongying had already seen the answer in her eyes.A person who is alienated by nature and never credulous, has put her by his side with confidence for so long.

She laughed in her heart, laughing that she hadn't noticed anything.

"Chi Zhongying, Chi of the pond, Zhong of love, Ying of cleverness. This is my name."

"Chi Zhongying..." Bai Yan murmured, raising her hand to stroke Chi Zhongying's hair.

The soft and cool hair runs through the fingertips.

Baiyan smiled, "Your name sounds nice."

"Baiyan, can I call you Baiyan from now on?" Chi Zhongying grabbed her wrist, her eyes sparkling.

The smile on the corner of Baiyan's mouth grew stronger, and Chi Zhongying felt that she was going to agree, but she saw her smiling and tapped her on the head, scolding with a smile: "No, you have no rules, I am your master! "

Chi Zhongying looked at her pitifully, her big eyes blinking.

Bai Yan was unmoved, "Practice more today."

Chi Zhongying was honest.

"Then, Master, can I not be called Bailianhua or Bailian? I want to change my name."

Bai Yan looked at her kindly, "Don't think about it. The name has already been handed back to the sect. If you want to change it, you can change it yourself, Bai Lian."

The relationship has actually changed a long time ago, but it was only revealed today.Chi Zhongying is trusted by Bai Yan, and she can also trust Bai Yan.

She looked at Bai Yan who was close at hand, and the illusory feeling in her heart finally came true.Chi Zhongying has someone to rely on in this world.

She can think of Baiyan as her family.

If she had an older sister, it might be someone like Bai Yan.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Nothing moves people more than unreserved trust.

She was tempted, but Chi Zhongying, who thought she was a straight girl, was a little dull, and didn't realize what was going on with her feelings.

Trust isn't all that real.Chi Zhongying's fan filter is too thick, and she didn't notice that it was impossible for Bai Yan to trust her 100% from the beginning.

The fact is, Bai Yan is a suspicious character, otherwise he wouldn't have been secretly observing Chi Zhongying's actions, and then fell in love with her.
