Ronan and Xue Lei walked into the room. There were no lights inside. The light outside only illuminated the doorway. Most other areas were filled with shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.
Xue Lei turned around to find someone, but Ronan relied on his mental telepathy to locate Xiu Shen Yu's position earlier.
Xiu Shen Yu is sitting on the cork floor, leaning against the wall on the side of the corridor, with his left leg crossed and his right leg standing upright. He is sitting in a casual posture. Not far in front of him is the Tai Chi ball. I don’t know if it is a factor of environmental rendering.
At this time, Xiu Shen Yu was silent and almost gloomy. He showed no reaction to the two young men who came in.
"Master, Nanzi is here." Xue Lei finally saw where Xiu Shen Yu was and walked over to remind him softly.
Xiu Shen Yu hummed: "Then let's get started."
The straightforward attitude left both Ronan and Xue Lei in a daze.
No matter what the two young people thought, Xiu Shen Yu stood up from the floor and walked to Ronan. He was tall and thin, more than a head taller than Ronan, who was still not fully developed. When he stood, he looked quite impressive.
pressure.
"The time I requested is from 11 pm to 5 am, a total of six hours. Ideally, these six hours a day are enough for the first stage of study. The reason for asking you to arrive earlier today is
Teach the basic techniques and do some tests to get a feel for it.”
Ronan should be so cute.
Although the monastery leader did not make any pleasantries and went straight to the point in his opening remarks, which was quite strange, the logic of his words was still clear. I wonder where Xue Lei's so-called "translation" came from.
At that moment, Ronan followed Xiu Shen Yu's request and lay down on the sleeping mat that had been prepared. Xue Lei lit a burner of incense in an exaggerated manner, saying that it had the effect of helping to relax.
The light was dim and the fragrance was lingering. In such an environment, it was really not difficult to "relax". Ronan closed his eyes slightly, adjusted his breathing slowly, and soon entered the state.
At this moment, Xiu Shen Yu suddenly asked: "Have you learned other breathing techniques before?"
"Yeah, there is."
Ronan's chanting breathing technique, which he has practiced since he was a child, mostly functions in visualization, but it also starts with breathing; and some time ago, he also got a very good demonstration and understanding from the incredible little girl Ruiwen.
The rhythm of "soul breathing".
Well, soul breathing can be considered breathing. Ronan thinks he still has some experience.
Xiu Shen Yu continued to ask: "Have you entered samadhi?"
"You mean a certain state of mind? Yes."
Xue Lei, who was standing next to him, said happily: "That's good. I already have a good foundation and I will definitely make rapid progress."
Xiu Shen Yu glanced at Xue Lei and didn't say anything. He just asked Ronan to continue to relax, and at the same time began to tell him some tips on adjusting his breathing.
At first it was just a general talk, but in this atmosphere, Ronan consciously or unconsciously tried to follow the method he described.
Xiu Shen Yu should have an accurate grasp of Ronan's status, so he suddenly changed the way he spoke, making it more concise, directly touching on the deviations that occurred during Ronan's attempt, and correcting them.
Sometimes, they would directly put their hands on Ronan's body and ask Ronan's breathing and thoughts to focus on these areas.
At the beginning, it was uncomfortable to have someone control even your breathing. Ronan controlled his breathing while focusing on receiving instructions. His nerves were tense and he could not relax at all.
But Ronan had a foundation after all, and he soon discovered that many of the essentials taught by Xiu Shen Yu coincided with his existing understanding, making him quite forward-looking in some details.
Breathing control is more relaxed.
Moreover, Xiu Shen Yu's teachings were not particular about the details. They were like a vague sign lamp, guiding him in front so that he would not get lost. As for how to move, he should follow Ronan's own habits.
It didn't take long for Ronan to get used to it and his mind settled down. He controlled the intensity of his breathing so that there was nothing between his mouth and nose. His mind first focused on the mouth and nose, and then on the throat, chest, and lower abdomen.
The tail vertebrae, etc.; there is also retrograde visualization, which changes back and forth, and finally the breath is so lingering that it can no longer distinguish its direction and direction, and gradually fills the whole body.
In this wonderful feeling, the body is slightly hot, as if wrapped in warm clouds, similar to a sauna, not so stuffy, and quite transparent.
Later, Ronan's energy was completely focused on the changes in sensation, and Xiu Shen Yu's whispers were naturally blocked. In the end, even the perception of his body was blurred, and his whole figure seemed to turn into a cloud, floating in nothingness.
The clouds expand and contract, and there is a slight difference between the inside and outside, but it can be summed up as the rhythm of one in and one out... Yes, it is a bit like Ruiwen, with her wonderful breath resonance, and the blurring of form and spirit.
As soon as the thought occurred, Ronan seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly opened his eyes.
Xue Lei followed Xiu Shen Yu's instructions and looked at his bracelet to confirm the time: "5 minutes and 20 seconds."
"Huh?"
Xue Lei said with a smile: "It has been 320 seconds since you laid down until now."
Ronan was stunned: "So short?"
He thought time passed very quickly, at least an hour or two, but he didn't expect it to be so short. If we only counted the time when he was fully immersed in it, it was less than a minute?
Xiu Shen Yu glanced at Xue Lei's bracelet: "The time to enter concentration is 7 seconds."
"Seven seconds?"
"Being in a certain place, knowing everything in mind. 7 seconds is not bad, but it is not short either."
Ronan didn't understand it at all. At this time, Translator Xue finally appeared. He praised: "It really has a foundation... The meditation you just entered is actually a process of physical self-examination, just like turning on a device and reading
Loading, the faster your brain is, the higher the efficiency will be. You can see within 7 seconds and get the will of Xu Jing, which is very powerful."
Regarding Xue Lei's statement, the master of the monastery was noncommittal: "You can't rely on anything empty, and you can't rely on it for a long time. Just remember that breathing rhythm, and we'll move on to the next step."
Although it was difficult to understand, it looked really powerful... Ronan's teachings to Xiu Shen Yu inevitably gave him a different kind of confidence. He recalled his previous feelings and nodded solemnly.
Two minutes later, Ronan took the guidance of Xiu Shen Yu and re-entered the wonderland where the body was inanimate. The body was like clouds, and the warm heat was always accumulating, but the rhythm of going in and out was there, expanding and contracting all the time, and the heat was not static.
, but flows endlessly.
Ronan couldn't see it clearly at first, but after getting familiar with it, his senses became more and more keen, and he slowly sensed the real meaning from the virtual clouds.
In Xiu Shen Yu's theory, entering concentration is only the preliminary stage of cognition. To practice, you need to eliminate the established concept of the body and reshape it with the feeling of concentration.
This is not to ask people to think wildly in their minds. The entity is still the entity, and the breath is still the breath. It just needs to be consolidated.
Ronan is also familiar with this approach. Isn't it just his method of sketching? The emphasis is not on the fineness of the form, but on the charm and characteristics.
However, Xiu Shen Yu gave a clear set of images:
"The body is like a gathering of mountains and mountains, and the energy is like flowing water."
