Chen Yu didn't hesitate, and followed his heart and curiosity and moved closer to the light.
Then it was blocked and unable to reach nearby areas.
He tried to squeeze in, toward the wisps of fluorescent light, but he could only see a hint of deep darkness.
Soon, his mind became disturbed, and the calm state could no longer be maintained.
On the bluestone, Chen Yu crossed his legs and opened his eyes.
He was still thinking about it at the moment, and the previous scene appeared in his mind for a long time and was difficult to get rid of.
It was a sight that he had never seen before. Although the details were unclear, he guessed that it was probably related to his upcoming mental transformation.
After possessing the Lanting Divine Fruit that can temper his spirit, he felt that his mental power became stronger and stronger during this period of time, and he even felt faintly top-heavy.
The vague brewing feeling deep in the consciousness is getting stronger and stronger.
Chen Yu wondered if it was the end, and something had been cultivated from the huge spiritual accumulation.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, trying to enter that state again.
However, my mind was ups and downs, and it was suddenly difficult to calm down again.
Several attempts ended in failure.
"It would be great if there were Heel Breathing Techniques and Qi Movement Techniques."
Maybe it will work wonders.
The Hesha Dharma School cultivates Qi and combines the evil spirits, and it has quite a few things in terms of calming the mind, calming the Qi, and dispelling pure thoughts. But if you really want to explain the true Taoist skills of seeing the nature of the mind and focusing on oneself, you have to look at the Jingming Dharma School.
It's a pity that he didn't master it completely, and not many of the various methods passed down by the old Taoist priests were left in the memory of his predecessor.
Forget it, wait until your mind is calm and try again.
Chen Yu put down his thoughts and pinched his eyebrows instead, thinking about what the light was just now.
Yuanshen? True spirit? Simple aggregation of spiritual power?
Or something else?
At this time, when I look back and feel it, although I cannot calm down and witness it again, I can vaguely detect a faint feeling of stagnation between my eyebrows if I take a closer look.
It was difficult to notice at first, but upon closer inspection, I found that it was not an illusion.
It seems that a certain part of the skull in front of the forehead is opening and contracting, beating slightly like a heart.
Pineal gland? No, in Taoist terms, this should be called the Heavenly Eye. Some general understanding of this part flashed through his mind, but he could never connect it with the light group he saw.
Can't guess.
Chen Yu, who couldn't figure it out, had to give up for the time being. As long as the misunderstanding was not caused by chance, it would definitely be possible again.
Withdrawing his complicated thoughts, he continued to perform the exercises. His spirit returned to the present moment again.
In recent times, with the consumption of the Lanting Divine Fruit, my mental power has continued to grow, but I can clearly feel the increasingly rich and thick changes, but it is still as difficult to touch as if there is a layer of gauze.
So Chen Yu thought about whether he could mobilize his spiritual power through certain methods, break through the membrane, and gain insight into the changes in the depths of his consciousness.
I was trying it today, but it was just an accident that I fell into the chaos and saw the light ball.
Guangtuan couldn't figure it out for a short time, but after experiencing such an encounter, he made some unexpected progress in driving his mental power.
…
What is spirit?
The memory of the previous life will tell him that it is something called ‘consciousness’ produced by the neural activity of the brain.
In Taoism, the concept of spirit has different differentiations. For example, the inner alchemy theory of the past life believes that everyone has essence, energy, and spirit. Essence is the tangible change of the energy of the human body, and spirit is the condensed expression of the human will. Another example is the water and soil here.
, although there is no theory of the Three Treasures of Jing, Qi and Shen, it is still believed that spirit is the innate symbol of why people are human. Without spirit, people will be stupid and ignorant of human ethics.
Of course, since it is very likely that no Taoist priest has developed true spirituality in the past and present, let alone the Yin Shen's night tour, the Pure Yang's departure from the body, etc., so the discussion of spirituality can still only be regarded as chatter and brainstorming.
.
The philosophical meaning is profound, but in practice it stretches the hips.
However, Chen Yu is different now. He is truly aware of the existence of spiritual power.
Every time you pry the soul, you need to work hard to stir up waves in the ocean of consciousness - those waves are the embodiment of the spirit.
But it couldn't be used by him. At most, it could only be driven to a limited extent in the boundless ocean, and several times he found that he could only make it move, but could not suppress it to make the sea quiet.
The only time it was calm was when I entered the mountains.
It was also an accident.
But what he has to do now is to mobilize and use it outside the sea of consciousness, and the difficulty is suddenly several times higher.
Even if you don't want to leave the body, it is difficult to do it.
At least that's what it should have been. According to Chen Yu's idea, during this period, he would first explore the various characteristics of the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness, and then use the various methods of expelling gods recorded in the Taoist scriptures to try them if they are useful or not. If nothing works.
, and then think of other ways.
However, things in the world always work wonders, and an accident allowed him to vaguely grasp the traces of spiritual power.
"Looking at it now, there are definitely some methods in the Taoist sect that are useful, but they probably won't be very useful."
Chen Yu, who had become enlightened, felt more and more that this was the case. Without further delay, he directly took out a small method to exorcise gods recorded in "Huajing Ten Lives Record".
It is said that this method was left behind by a certain great master of the Jingming Dharma sect - just listen to this, don't take it seriously.
Every year at the foot of the mountain there are rumors of a certain Taoist becoming immortal and ascending to heaven, but no one comes out to show off his holiness, only an extra tablet is seen on the desk.
After months of self-cultivation, Chen Yu quickly became focused, his eyes closed, and his field of vision was filled with silence.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, with an expression on his face as expected.
Taoism's method can indeed allow him to feel the fluctuations of mental power outside the sea of consciousness, but it cannot be driven at all.
The records on the method were too vague, and when it came to specific details on how to control spiritual power, they were vague and vague. Chen Yu was too lazy to guess, lest he make a big mistake.
It seems that the powerful person who has achieved Taoism is either at a too high level that the method described is not suitable for ordinary people like him who have no experience in the world, or the other person has not really used his mental power.
Chen Yu thinks the latter is more likely.
Although the "Huajing Ten Lives Record" also described spiritual power and what many Taoist sages and sages had done once they attained Taoism, he had serious doubts at this moment that the spiritual power in his eyes was probably not what the Taoists said in this world.
It's not the same thing.
Just like 'spiritual energy'.
However, unlike spiritual energy, Chen Yu was very sure that what he found was the "spirit" that countless practitioners had been searching for and could not find, and nothing else.
In other words, it was not that he was looking for the wrong one, but that the entire Taoist sect was astray.
This was further verified in several subsequent attempts. There were a total of five methods to exorcise spirits, three of which allowed him to feel spiritual power, while the other two were just nonsense and completely useless.
But even if there are three remaining gates, they are all limited to this without exception, and cannot provide a practical and effective driving method.
Logically speaking, it can be sensed. How come it has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and there can always be some breakthroughs.
And it won't be like this now.
Thinking about it this way, it is very likely that ordinary people do not have mental power, or that the depths of their consciousness are hidden and require certain qualities to guide them before they can be discovered. Simple meditation and martial arts practice cannot achieve this.
In other words, throughout the ages, he was probably the first and only Taoist priest to come into contact with spiritual power.
As for what the so-called characteristics were, Chen Yu didn't think much and looked directly at the water bag hanging on his waist.
