At night, Mu Xue began to practice for the first time entering the mountain gate.

The only lesson Su Xingting left in class was for everyone to learn to "observe the mind and stop thoughts." To put it simply, it means learning to become still.

Entering tranquility is a compulsory lesson for almost all sects of spiritual practice.

This matter seems simple, but in fact it is not easy.

Just because people are born, they will inevitably have various thoughts in their minds, which are called consciousness and also called delusions. If you want to have a clear and clear spiritual platform, it is not easy to get rid of delusions, especially for such a group of lively children.

Not long after Xia Tong meditated, she lay down on the bunk in frustration and said, "What should I do? There is no way to do what the teacher said. There is nothing in my mind."

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xue, who had just finished washing and carried a basin into the house, asked her.

"I accidentally thought that the grilled quail that I had for breakfast today was really delicious. I wonder if this dish will be available tomorrow morning." Xia Tong covered her face with her hands, "I know I can't think about it, but the harder I try,

I tell myself not to think about it, and the more I can't help thinking about it. Now my mind is filled with oily quails flying around. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Mu Xue laughed and comforted her: "Don't be anxious, take your time."

"But you see, Mariko seems to have succeeded."

Yuanzi is another girl in the house. She is fondly called Yuanzi because of her round and fair hair.

At this moment, the fleshy Yuanzi was sitting cross-legged on the couch, with her hands in a seal, her eyes closed, her expression peaceful, and unresponsive to the noise around her, as if she had fallen into a state of concentration.

"Wow, Mariko is so awesome."

"Yuanzi succeeded."

The children in the room exclaimed quietly and looked around quietly.

I saw the girl sitting cross-legged on the bunk with a chubby little face breathing slowly, her chest rising and falling slightly, and slowly letting out a clear snoring sound - it turned out that she was asleep.

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed and shook the confused Yuanzi awake.

The so-called tranquility means that you cannot deliberately think about distracting thoughts, but you cannot completely empty your mind, otherwise you will quickly fall asleep like Mariko, instead of practicing consciously.

Mu Xue sat cross-legged on the bunk, with her hands folded loosely, her thumbs touching each other, her eyelashes lowered, and she relaxed.

I began to recite the mantra taught by Su Xingting silently in my heart.

“The best thing is to save it first and forget it later.” 1

Slowly, she entered a very mysterious realm. She could clearly see people walking back and forth in the room, but she seemed to turn a blind eye. She could clearly hear the voices of people talking in the room, but she seemed not to hear them at all.

The spiritual consciousness is clear and comfortable, just like a small boat in the sea. When the thought arises, the hull rises, and when the thought disappears, the hull falls. No matter how the tide rises and falls, the boat is free and contented.

After being in this state for a long time, my breathing gradually became long and rhythmic, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to gather into my body.

Mu Xue opened her eyes, she could no longer practice.

Su Xingting only taught them how to enter the state of tranquility, but he had not taught them the formulas for the exercises after entering tranquility.

For Mu Xue, it is not difficult to enter tranquility. What is rare is that she enters tranquility too quickly. Some of the habits she has practiced for many years have been engraved in her bones. When she relaxes her mind, she naturally begins to harvest the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for her own use in tranquility.

The practice of Guiyuan Sect is to refine Qi in silence, that is, to refine the acquired Qi into Yuan Qi, thereby strengthening the body, strengthening the body, and achieving the goal of cultivating both life and life.

This is very different from the magic cultivator's technique. For example, she herself entered Taoism through magic. In the process of making magical artifacts with extreme concentration, she attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to refine the artifacts. Later, she gradually got used to directly extracting the spiritual energy and refining it to pure form, and fed back to herself.

Shen. It can be said that it is almost a completely opposite process to the Alchemy of Guiyuan Sect.

In addition to Mu Xue, there are also some children who seem to have found the trick and fell into meditation while sitting upright.

After all, they are the children selected from a million by the Golden Wealth Institute. Most of them have excellent qualifications and are different from ordinary people.

Of course, there are also children who cannot sit still and have already gotten up and walked around. Some even just lie down on the bunk and fall asleep.

For a basic meditation, Su Xingting gave everyone enough time to practice and told them not to force it.

So the kids here don't have much of a real sense of urgency at all.

The laughter from playing in the courtyard came through the paper window.

Xia Tong was straightening his legs with a grin on his face, and kept shouting: "Ouch, my legs are numb, my legs are numb." Yuanzi tilted her body and was playing with the rope with a little girl next door.

Those smiling little faces are carefree, innocent and simple.

Mu Xue's mind slowly recalled faces that were similar to these children.

Those equally young faces were full of tension, anxiety and wariness. Their eyes were full of ferocity, they were a pack of wolf cubs, wolves that were about to starve to death.

How many children were there in that batch of children who were bought back at the same time as him? Was it thirty or forty?

The first lesson that the master taught at that time was to pour spiritual energy into all the children's bodies without any care, and to open the governor's channels around the sky. Not every child can bear the spiritual energy to open the governor. On that first day, he poured spiritual energy into the body of all the children.

Several people died from explosions.

At that time, little Mu Xue stood shivering among the fallen corpses.

She didn't dare to look back and see how many people had died. She just went all out and practiced crazily.

All the children are trying their best to escape the terror of being overtaken by death at any time.

In such crazy and focused practice, Mu Xue finally realized the Tao through magic and became an weapon refiner.

When she looked back, there were only a few people left behind her. Most of the forty children of similar ages who were struggling to survive were gone.

At night, Mu Xue had recurring nightmares.

In the dream, the pale children stood crowdedly around her, as if they were still practicing together in that cruel teacher's school. They could never break away from the dark school.

Mu Xue ran desperately in the darkness. She was surrounded by falling figures one after another. She did not dare to stop and was unable to pull anyone up.

Honglian grabbed her and ran together, "Don't look back, go forward. Live, as long as you can live."

"The netherworld shines brightly, like the moon facing the river. It eliminates your miscellaneous worries and protects your mind. Evil fire does not arise, and magic is difficult to invade. You can observe the mind and gain enlightenment, and the spiritual platform is quiet and bright."

A clear and clear voice rang in Mu Xue's ears, like the sound of a pleasant bell, the tinkling sound in her heart blew away the nightmares that had clouded her mind.

Mu Xue woke up,

This is someone using the Taoist method of transmitting sounds into secrets to wake her up and prevent her from being obsessed by the inner demons.

Mu Xue got up and opened the window a little, and the bright moonlight immediately leaked into the house through the gap in the window.

On the roof opposite the courtyard, a young fellow student was sitting.

Mu Xue had seen this person before. On the night when she first arrived at Huayutang, she was inspired by spiritual energy and her consciousness wandered around. She was frightened back by this person guarding the courtyard.

This time, the man just looked over impatiently and motioned for her to go back to the house and sleep.

It turns out that this is a special arrangement by the master, allowing these senior brothers with advanced Taoism to stay on duty at night to guard them, newcomers who have just started to practice and are prone to making mistakes.

Mu Xue lay back on the bed, pillowed her arms and closed her eyes.

I slowly felt calmer in my heart.

The darkness shines brightly, like the moon over the river, dispelling your miscellaneous worries and protecting your mind.

Eliminate your worries and protect your mind.

It turns out that a real master should look like this.

Fu Yun, who squatted on the roof for several nights, felt a little depressed.

When a new disciple starts, as a rule, the sect will send outstanding disciples to take turns to keep vigil at Huayutang.

It was his turn on the first day. That night, he clearly noticed a powerful and unfamiliar consciousness flashing past in the dark.

Therefore, he was worried and specifically applied to be on duty for several consecutive days.

But he didn't find any of the strange and powerful enemies with evil intentions in his imagination. Instead, every night there were little babies who woke up crying in the middle of the night, wet the bed, and clamored to go home to find their parents, which made him miserable.

No, there was a little bun who had practiced too much and had a nightmare just now. As a result, he had to use the secret sound transmitter to wake her up. Fortunately, the bun didn't cry for him to comfort her.

Thinking of the white little face that had just poked out of the crack in the window, Fu Yun, who already had dark circles under his eyes, sighed and decided to change the person tomorrow night and never do this kind of thing with a baby.

I just woke up from the early mist, and the morning sun is about to spit out.

In the early morning, the Jiulian Mountains show deep and light green.

Halfway up the mountain, the long bells of Chongxu Temple could be heard ringing.

Those mountain peaks that are always covered by white mist can vaguely reveal the golden light of beautiful buildings and palaces. It arouses people's imagination and makes people yearn for it.

In a square paved with blue bricks, Ye Hangzhou led a group of sturdy young disciples to box.

I was taught a set of Jiugong grapples, with a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one moves. The fight was vigorous and continuous. After a set of punches, my whole body was filled with infuriating energy and I was sweating slightly. It was very refreshing.

Compared to meditating and becoming quiet, this kind of boxing is more popular with these young and active disciples.

Not every young child can transition from sitting to silence so easily.

Some children simply cannot sit still, and it is very difficult to force them to calm down during meditation. But it does not mean that these children are not suitable for practice.

Therefore, Su Xingting specially arranged for Ye Hangzhou, a talented apprentice in martial arts, to be responsible for teaching these lively and active children a set of boxing techniques.

Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, guide them from movement to tranquility, and achieve the same goal through different paths.

The only thing that makes Ye Hangzhou a little regretful is that the people who are willing to learn boxing from him are all boys, and there are no girls. Originally, girls are physically weaker and should learn some physical fitness training at a young age than boys.

The martial arts is the right one.
