Chapter 23 About the trivial matter of breaking through twice a day
Zhou Zheng slept until the next morning, when he was gently awakened by Ao Ying's soft humming.
After getting up, Zhou Zheng was not only full of energy, but also energetic; he felt as if his strength had become much stronger, and his right hand with the triple immortal seal was also full of power.
"How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Ao Ying came in from outside and asked nervously, holding a plate of carefully arranged fruits in her hand.
"Nothing strange, I feel pretty good."
Zhou Zheng looked at himself in the half-length mirror. The three marks on his wrist were really... conspicuous and eye-catching.
I can finally practice with peace of mind without any doubts.
He grabbed a piece of apple and stuffed it into his mouth. He quickly changed into a short sleeve shirt and said, "I'm going to practice. It's already time for classes to start."
"Hey! Eat something first!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll eat more for lunch!"
Zhou Zheng opened the door, turned around and gave Ao Ying a thumbs up: "The apples are cut well, see you at noon."
Ao Ying held the fruit plate and nodded gently, with a slight smile on her lips.
When Zhou Zheng closed the door, she just hummed softly: "It doesn't matter if you praise me, the apple is delicious because it grows well, what does it have to do with how I cut it."
Of course, such complaints from the 'husband' behind his back cannot be heard by Zhou Zheng.
As soon as Zhou Zheng rushed to his seat, Fairy Bing Ning appeared in front of the nine people accompanied by the fairy light.
Bing Ning said: "You have been practicing here for a while. You meditate and practice every day. Let's change the content today."
Most students' eyes lit up.
They discussed it yesterday in a small group with only students. This special training class should not only let the immortals teach them the exercises to practice, but also definitely include magic classes, refining magic pills, and some experience in fighting enemies in battle.
teach.
Bing Ning paused for a moment, then her eyes passed over Zhou Zheng and landed on Xiao Sheng who was standing beside him.
"Xiao Sheng, go run aside for a few steps."
"What the hell? What did you say?"
Xiao Sheng, wearing a headset, listened intently.
With a gentle touch of Bing Ning Su's hand, Xiao Sheng's headset was immediately attached to the ice cubes, and his red and swollen ears miraculously returned to normal.
"Eh? I'm fine?" Xiao Sheng pinched her earlobe and felt happy for a while.
Bing Ning said: "Go for a few steps."
Xiao Sheng rolled his eyes, but sat there leisurely, obviously intending to sit till the end.
What is he afraid of? We are all former ministers of the Heavenly Court. In his previous life, he was the general of the front palace. Although he and the chief maid of the Caixiang Palace are not in the same system, they are still very different.
Men, you should be tougher!
Xiao Sheng turned to look at Zhou Zheng and raised an eyebrow at Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng groaned a few times and pointed kindly behind Xiao Sheng; the latter turned around and his hair stood up instantly.
Xiao Sheng gritted his teeth at Bing Ning, lowered his head and walked aside, starting to run around the outside of the practice area, walking loosely and listlessly, like a heavenly soldier who had been defeated in a battle.
Bing Ning frowned slightly and wrote a few comments on the jade talisman in her hand.
"As you can see, this way of running is based on the strength of the body, and the purpose is to get yourself to the position in front."
The eight students who were studying seriously nodded at the same time.
"You come."
Bing Ning ordered a female student to stand in front of him, and then asked the female student to raise her hands and stand on one foot.
Repeat this several times and perform several warm-up poses in succession.
To Zhou Zheng, this was like some kind of radio gymnastics or aerobics, except that the movements were much softer and more natural.
"Do you remember these movements? Do them several times in succession."
The female student did as she was told, and her coherent movements were quite beautiful.
"Get ready for running," Bing Ning said, "Recall your daily practice state, find that state with a standing posture, let the breath in your body circulate around, and maintain the normal circulation during running while meditating and practicing.
"
"Okay, teacher, let me try," the female student said, keeping her standing posture and adjusting her breathing with her eyes closed.
I don’t know whether it is because she is too nervous or because she is used to meditating for many years, but this female student can never find the state and can’t let herself enter concentration.
Bing Ning signaled her not to be nervous and replaced her with a female student to continue trying.
Soon, all six female students tried it, and the one who was in the best condition could only keep running for a few steps before she came out of the trance state due to the tremor of her breath.
To meditate and practice, you need to enter concentration, but it is impossible to enter concentration while running.
Bing Ning frowned slightly.
She actually didn't want to name Zhou Zheng today. After all, there were nine people in the entire special training class. During this period, Zhou Zheng had some problems with his practice and had given him too much attention.
As a teacher, you cannot favor one over the other.
But this situation greatly affects her teaching effect.
"Zhou Zheng, come on."
Zhou Zheng let out a breath, stood up and ran to Bing Ning, facing each other sideways.
Bing Ning put her palm on his arm and led him through a set of warm-up movements. Zhou Zheng faintly felt that the breath in his body seemed to be activated.
He remained standing, closed his eyes, and thought about the state of being 'as if he were asleep', and soon his mind sank.
Although he remained standing, he was already in concentration.
Bing Ning's palm gently pushed Zhou Zheng's shoulder, and Zhou Zheng closed his eyes and began to run forward. The breath in his body trembled, and his eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was trying to break free from his trance.
But when he opened his eyes, they seemed to have no focus, and his expression did not have any fluctuations. He turned around in front of him naturally and chased Xiao Sheng.
The state of cultivation has not retreated!
Zhou Zheng's breathing began to become lighter, and his running pace became more firm and powerful. The swing of his arms seemed to be able to attract spiritual energy, and when his feet took turns to step on the ground, they seemed to be stepping on invisible barriers.
The students are by no means mediocre. At this moment, they have discovered that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy seems to have increased a lot by maintaining a trance while running.
Xiao Sheng, who was running carelessly for fun, couldn't help but stop and looked at Zhou Zheng running past him, his eyes full of surprise.
Does it really work?
Bing Ning put her hands behind her back, with a faint smile on her lips, and asked Zhou Zheng to continue running around the outside, and began to explain the essentials of this method to others.
“There is yin and yang in heaven and earth, and there is stillness and movement in all things.
"For a long time, our understanding of spiritual practice is to start by quietly absorbing spiritual energy, whether it is a monk or a demon clan, it is like this.
“But does it always have to be the best?
"With oneself conforming to the great road of heaven and earth, why can it only be still and not move? There is an ancient great immortal named Zhen Yuanzi, who is the ancestor of the earth immortals and the master of the earth immortal world. Three years ago, he appeared in the ruins of the heaven and returned to heaven.
Meng left behind a few techniques that he improved, and then disappeared again.
"One of the techniques is very special. It does not point to a certain avenue, but helps monks who have not become immortals to practice. It is the "Bidding Technique". The running state of entering meditation is the first introductory form of "Bidding Technique"
…”
"Instructor," Li Zhiyong suddenly spoke, concisely and concisely, "please pay attention to the monitor's status."
Bing Ning turned to look at Zhou Zheng, who was running behind him, and saw that Zhou Zheng's eyes were filled with cyan light at this moment, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and there seemed to be a cyclone rotating in his abdomen as he ran.
The wind is blowing under your feet, but it is neither urgent nor slow;
The light condensed in the palm, as if it was affected by invisible force.
Zhou Zheng slowly stopped, keeping his eyes unfocused, and breathed out softly. The divine flower dropped from the top of his head, and the halo of light slowly rose up from the soles of his feet, meeting next to his naturally hanging palms.
Ping!
Everyone seemed to hear a soft sound, and then the breath in Zhou Zheng's body slowly rose.
There is a light jade color flowing under the skin, and the muscle lines that were not obvious at first can be faintly seen through the clothes at this moment, and the muscles all over the body have become tighter.
Body forging realm, fifth level!
Zhou Zheng stood there and realized it quietly for a while, then stepped forward again.
This time, his eyes gradually regained their brightness, and he no longer subconsciously ran in circles. He could actually turn his head and look at his classmates who were sitting in their respective seats in a daze, as well as Bing Ning, who was standing quietly with his hands behind his hands and a smile.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
Yue Wushuang asked in surprise: "Monitor, are you still practicing?"
"Well," Zhou Zheng lowered his head and glanced at himself, "It seems that there is no need to deliberately activate it. The mana is keeping the movement of the sky on its own."
Question marks hung above everyone's heads.
Xiao Sheng stared at Zhou Zheng with big eyes, and his eyes gradually heated up.
…
"Huh huh huh~"
Amidst the gentle sound of running water, Ao Ying was floating in the bathtub wearing a simple swimsuit, with two children's armbands hanging on her fair arms, holding her mobile phone to watch the latest love anime.
The phone vibrated slightly and a message popped up.
'Sister: Ao Yitian has already left for Longchen.'
Ao Ying was stunned for a moment, then stood up directly in the water, her expression slightly annoyed, and then she fell into thinking.
What should I do if this second brother goes too far?
Could it be using the True Dragon Order?
But once the True Dragon Order is used, several dragons from the nearby human world will rush over to support. If there is no emergency, it will embarrass everyone.
"Why can't this guy hate others?"
Ao Ying patted her forehead and began to think hard about countermeasures.
It is impossible to leave.
After finally getting acquainted with Zhou Hun, he does not exclude her here, and she also likes to hide next to him. The Internet in the city is fast, and the human world has many resources. She can learn a lot every day, but this is the nominal second brother.
…
Make the fish head bigger.
…
On the small playground, nine students were jogging in twos and threes.
Three men... or rather boys, ran side by side at the front of the team, each breathing at the same pace and looking for a state of practice.
Li Zhiyong learned the fastest. Zhou Zheng took him to run two laps, and he was able to "run into concentration" intermittently.
Xiao Sheng never got the point. If he forced himself into trance, his hands and feet would become uncoordinated when running, and he almost hit the wall in a straight line several times.
The six girls are still in the exploratory stage, waiting for Zhou Zheng to finish teaching Li Zhiyong and Xiao Sheng and come to take them to run dozens of laps.
In the middle of the small playground, Bing Ning sat in a lacquered wooden chair, with a small coffee table beside her.
Sometimes she took a sip of tea and appreciated the wonderful taste of the immortal tea. Sometimes she took out a jade talisman and read the Taoist scriptures inside.
Regarding Zhou Zheng, Bing Ning is a little unsure now.
The special training class has been open for more than sixty years, and she has taught thousands of students, including many reincarnations of immortals from heaven.
But this was the first time she encountered a student like Zhou Zheng.
I entered school with zero basic knowledge, and I was once a heavenly god in my previous life. However, my understanding was extremely high, and it was incomparable with the Five Elements of Wood.
Bing Ning speculated yesterday that Zhou Zheng was probably born with Taoism, but today she has overturned this speculation.
Being born with the Tao refers to two situations. One is the birth of the Tao. The birth is interconnected with a specific Tao. It is the will of the Tao. Practice not only gets twice the result with half the effort, but the fruits of the Tao can be picked up with just one hand.
For example, that stone monkey caused great trouble thousands of years ago.
The other is that a powerful person has a premonition that there will be a disaster that he cannot avoid, and prepares for himself in advance. If his body dies but his path remains intact, he can then rebuild it through reincarnation.
This is no longer considered practice, it is more accurate to call it 'restoring strength'.
Bing Ning carefully compared Zhou Zheng's situation last night and found that it was neither the former nor the latter.
First, there is no Tao charm surrounding Zhou Zheng's body, and there is no sign of Tao fruit.
Secondly, Zhou Zheng did not show any magical powers when he burst out his spiritual power in his previous life.
When she used magic to limit the release of Zhou Zheng's spiritual power, she also truly felt this spiritual power, pure, powerful, and with a strong sense of majesty.
This basically eliminates the possibility of being ‘born along the road’.
So, what's going on with him?
Innate Tao body? Or wood spirit treasure body?
Bing Ning pondered for a moment and decided to continue observing for a while to see when Zhou Zheng's cultivation speed would slow down.
Although the initial progress was fierce, it may also be due to Zhou Zheng's idleness for many years before, and it is unlikely that he can continue this speed of cultivation to the innate realm.
This is quite an interesting thing.
A charming smile appeared on Bing Ning's lips. Just as she was about to continue reading the jade talisman in her hand, she suddenly felt something and looked up at the figures running by in front of her.
There, Zhou Zheng, who had been jogging, suddenly started to speed up.
He took a big step, and a shallow whirlpool appeared in his abdomen. The meridians in his body seemed to come alive, and there were green dragons roaring and roaring in his body.
He ran faster and faster, gradually turning to tiptoe to the ground and swinging his arms sideways.
Wherever he passed, lotus flowers were left on the ground; wherever he went, spiritual energy gathered around him like flowing water.
finally!
Zhou Zheng's eyes burst out with divine light, and he jumped up, holding Yuan in mid-air with both hands, and the shadow of Jianmu faintly appeared behind him!
The first level of "Qinghuang Heaven Protecting Technique" is to achieve perfection.
Bing Ning breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. She thought Zhou Zheng had achieved another Dao realm breakthrough.
Hey, no, if you take a big step in your understanding of the technique, it will probably trigger the Taoist realm...
Zhou Zheng slowly fell from mid-air, exhaled softly, and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were so clear.
There seemed to be a green light flashing above his head, but Zhou Zheng hesitated slightly and took the initiative to press his hands to suppress the green light.
He has already felt that he still has many incomplete understandings of the current Tao realm, and would rather waste a small amount of spiritual energy than move forward in a hurry.
If you take too big a step, your hips will be pulled easily.
"Um?"
Zhou Zheng noticed something was wrong with the looks from the side. He turned around and saw that the six girls had extremely complicated expressions.
Li Zhiyong smiled and seemed to be actively showing kindness;
On the contrary, Xiao Sheng was extremely excited. He rushed over more than ten meters in one swift step and directly hooked Zhou Zheng's neck.
"Brother Zhou, I see that your bones are amazing, your features are clear and your eyes are beautiful, and the divine light from the spiritual platform reaches the sky. You will definitely be extraordinary in the future. I wonder if you have the intention to follow me and pay homage to me? I will have no problem becoming my little brother."
"Uh, why?"
Zhou Zheng was a little caught off guard. He felt that Xiao Sheng was not the type to "look at others' choices".
Xiao Sheng's lips trembled, and he raised his head and let out a long sigh:
"Brother, let me have some luck! You are obviously lucky! I am the only one...it is so embarrassing that I have been stuck for six years!"
