Perhaps because it was difficult for people to understand the state of space and darkness during the practice of hexagram meditation, Master Landers gave several pages of detailed explanations, including many of his self-righteous conjectures. However, in Claude's view, this
It's the simplest. Isn't it just what those who practiced Qigong in the previous life called tranquility and concentration? It's nothing to make a fuss about.
The only thing that puzzled Claude was to use mental power to depict a standard hexagram pattern in the void state, and attract the ubiquitous elemental photons to the six corners of the hexagram, and convert them into his own magic power. Then
The key to the question is, which part of the human body is this state of emptiness and darkness located in?
As those who practiced qigong said in previous lives, qi travels through the Dantian and Qigong travels through the meridians. Although human body science denies the existence of Dantian and meridians, and these two locations cannot be found in anatomy. But I have some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
Everyone knows that meridians are spread throughout the human body, and the Dantian is located three inches below the navel. In addition, the Dantian is divided into three locations: upper, middle, and lower. These are locations that can only be felt but not seen.
If the state of emptiness and darkness is a kind of thinking induction when the head is empty, then the description of the hexagram attracting elemental photons and converting them into magic power obviously does not exist in a state of mental fantasy. Just like practicing Qigong, sensing the movement of luck
The meridians finally return to the Dantian. This state of emptiness and darkness should also be at a certain position in the human body, so there is a saying that one can imagine oneself as a container to hold magic power, and mobilize the transformed magic power in the hexagram to be output to the outside world.
However, Master Landers did not answer Claude's question in his diary. He probably never thought about this problem at all. He wrote in his diary that when practicing hexagram meditation, you can give priority to attracting
Those elemental photons with the highest affinity to themselves drive away those elemental photons with low affinity. In this way, when converting elemental photons into magic power, firstly, it can increase the speed of conversion, and secondly, obtain relatively pure magic power. He also
He discovered this under the guidance of Brother Davari, and it was also the key point for him to be promoted to a first-level rune mage in three months.
The diary said that if the elemental photons attracted when practicing the Hexagram Meditation Technique have various attributes, then it will take a lot of effort and time to reconcile these elemental photons. Some elemental photons will cancel each other out, such as fire elements and
Water elements will devour each other, wood elements and earth elements will resonate, light elements and dark elements will annihilate each other, etc...
Therefore, attracting photons of the same element during practice is the best way to transform magic power, especially the photons of the element with the highest affinity to oneself. It doesn't matter even if you have not passed the test of magic talent. As long as you practice Hexagram Meditation, you can sense where
If the photons of one element gather the fastest, then the cultivator will know which element of photon he has the highest affinity with.
Another point worth noting is that in addition to elemental affinity, the spiritual power of the cultivator is also a very important key. Master Landers believes that he can be promoted to a first-level rune mage within three months, with spiritual power
It played a very big role.
When the magic talent test was conducted that year, Master Landers' affinity to the fire element was nine and his spiritual power was eight. After the guidance of Brother Davari, when practicing the hexagram meditation technique, he specifically attracted the photons of the fire element and drove away other people.
With the help of powerful mental power, he did this effortlessly with the elemental photon of attribute. He even accelerated the speed of attracting the fire elemental photon, filling six triangles in the shortest time.
At the same time, it is transformed into its own magic power.
Claude stayed up all night and read the diary in one breath. However, most of what Master Landers recorded in the later diary was his knowledge and experience of learning the rune magic alchemy array after becoming a rune mage, and
His experience and thoughts as an assistant to those rune mages who helped conduct experiments, this was still too early for Claude.
Claude has read the part of the diary about the practice of hexagram meditation three times carefully and memorized almost all the contents. What he has to consider now is whether he should start based on this part of the practice record in the diary.
How about practicing this hexagram meditation technique?
This is a decision that you can never take back. Claude has to think about it again and again. This is not a martial arts secret book. He practiced hard in private and finally became a blockbuster. This is magic. Currently, it is prohibited in all continents of Farea.
Taboo magic, the consequence of becoming a magician is eternal darkness. As long as someone discovers that he can do magic, he will be hunted down and killed, or he will flee across the continent.
Maybe he can only breathe a sigh of relief when he goes to Shigros Island, where the evil magician lives, but can he go? This diary was left by Master Landers, and Master Landers was the one who helped Riggs.
Baron O. Hill was a key figure in the rebellion against the rule of magicians. Without his improved matchlock gun and that magic crystal explosive gunpowder, Baron Riggs O. Hill would not have successfully captured the city of San Pas, the holy land of magicians.
, drive the remaining magicians to Shigros Island, far away from the Farea continent...
If you go to the island, how should you answer when the magicians there ask about your magic heritage? If you can’t confirm the attitude of the magicians on Shigros Island, it is impossible for you to go to that island. Who knows where it is?
Does the magician have any historical record of the rebellious crimes of Master Landers and Master Davari? Going there with Master Landers's diary is simply throwing yourself into a trap, and this is not how you send yourself to death...
If he had not learned magic, the life path arranged by his father would be considered very stable and safe. A year and a half later, he would go to the continent of Nubisia and seek refuge with the godfather he had never met, Tiersi.
Viscount Jerryhausen Van Kruse, the governor of the Mu region, enlisted in the army. Although such a life is full of variables, it is better than being afraid of being discovered all day long after learning magic...
But I was unwilling to learn magic. I finally traveled through time, and arrived in a magical world, but I couldn't learn magic due to safety issues. This was really painful...
Claude knew very well that he was now faced with another life choice. One was the military path arranged by his family. This path was safe and stable. In the future, he could predict that he might become a famous local man like his father.
Man, live this life peacefully. The other is the path of magic with an uncertain future. Choosing this path means choosing darkness and danger. Maybe you will die young and become an unknown person on the escape road.
corpse...
Do you really want to learn magic? Claude actually knew in his heart that he had already made a choice. Even if he found many reasons for not learning magic, as a time traveler, he could not convince himself not to learn magic, especially
Now that all the prerequisites for learning magic are complete, he cannot restrain his desire to understand the mysteries of magic...
It was already dawn, and not long after, the horn bell of the Temple of War rang again. Bailu Town woke up from the silence, and soon resumed the bustle of carriages and horses.
Claude rubbed his face with his hands. He had not slept all night again and had to catch up on his sleep at school. But now that he has made up his mind, starting from tonight, he will learn to practice the hexagram meditation technique.
Take the first step towards magic.
On the way to school, Bockal brought good news to everyone. The target business in which everyone invested in a silver thaler finally came to an end. In just half a month, 172 targets were sold, leaving some
In addition to preparing funds, everyone can get a dividend of three silver thalers. This news made Erikson and Viricolo excited, but Claude's mind is not on making money now.
He just smiled to show that he was happy too.
After class, Bockaar secretly told Claude that his Sullivan gold coin would probably be sold soon. Yesterday, his father invited some friends to a party at home to talk about raising funds for the expedition. Bockaar
Pretending to pack his things, he accidentally dropped the Sullivan gold coin on the ground, which attracted the attention of many of his father's friends. Bokoal said that when he picked up the gold coin on the ground, he clearly felt that many eyes were staring at his hand.
The Sullivan gold coin inside.
Claude asked him strangely, doesn't his father care about doing this?
Boker smiled like a fox that had stolen a chicken, and replied that he had told his father everything, and that his father also knew that he had another Sullivan gold coin in his own collection. To his father
, it is enough to collect only one, there is no need to collect both Sullivan gold coins. At the same time, he also praised Claude for being very economical and knowing how to sell the extra one.
Bockard proudly told Claude that within three days, his father's friends would find an excuse to meet him by chance and discuss the Sullivan gold coin he dropped on the ground. He would definitely give it to Claude then.
Ask for a good price. Because collecting coins is very fashionable among his father's friends, having a Sullivan gold coin as your own collection is something worthy of showing off in front of your friends.
Okay, I'll leave it all to you. Once I get a good price, I'll treat you to a big dinner. Claude said casually, and then started to catch up on his sleep in class.
After school, Claude hurried home after rejecting Ericson's suggestion to invite everyone to go fishing at the pier. He planned to catch up on some more sleep so that he could be awake at night and practice the hexagram meditation technique.
Before dinner, it was his sister who came up to wake up Claude. Claude simply washed up and went downstairs to the restaurant. He explained to his father his hobby of learning the ancient Hertzian language during this period. Because many languages in the mainland are ancient Hertzian.
It is a variant of the language, so learning the ancient Hertzian language well is very useful for learning other languages. Maybe when I return from the army in the future, I can seek a position as a diplomatic envoy in the kingdom. If not, being a translator is also very promising.
This explanation satisfied Mr. Morsant, so he was not going to pursue Claude's behavior of wasting lamp oil last night. After a simple dinner, Claude played with his sister and brother for a while, teasing them again.
After a while, the little snow dog returned to his small attic under the pretext of studying. Next, it was time to practice meditation.
It can be found from the diary records that there are no specific postures for practicing Hexagram Meditation, such as sitting on your knees with your feet crossed, your five hearts facing the sky, and your back straight. It doesn’t matter whether you are sitting, standing or lying down.
Just do it as long as you feel your body can relax and feel comfortable. No matter what posture your body is in, the most important thing is that your mind can enter the state of emptiness and darkness as soon as possible.
Claude experimented for half an hour, standing, sitting, and lying down, but he couldn't find a position that made him relax. He always felt that a certain part of his body was stiff, whether it was his legs or hands, even if he didn't move.
I felt like I couldn't relax, or my back was itchy, and I wanted to reach out and scratch it. By the end of the struggle, Claude himself was anxious...
It wasn't until he saw the silver moon hanging in the sky that Claude had an idea. He climbed out of the small attic from the window and lay down on the roof, bathing in the silver moonlight. Soon Claude felt peaceful and comfortable.
, the body gradually relaxed, and the spirit soon felt the feeling of emptiness...
