The light in the library was very dim, but the old man seemed to be extremely familiar with every part of the library. The feeling when he walked around was no different from walking in the garden.
Lin Yi had already stood up. He had already begun to search for other notes from the master of Nanxi Zhai from the third floor. At this moment, he heard the old man's footsteps.
He thought it was the janitor again, but when he turned around and saw an unusually tall and thin old man, he couldn't help but be startled.
The old man's robe is also very old, at least not the style that has been popular in Jiankang in recent years.
Moreover, the old man's expression was very calm, with an elegance and an ancient flavor.
He could only feel this kind of aura from some old monks from Qitian Academy in the past.
Those old monks are very knowledgeable and have a very high level of cultivation.
But when Qitian Academy was abolished, those old monks or loyalists died in battle elsewhere, or wandered, or lived in seclusion without a trace. As far as Lin Yi knew, none of them could continue to stay in Qitian Academy.
As for the old man now, he had never seen him in Qitian College.
After all, this old man is very thin and tall, half a head taller than the average strong man. If you have seen him before, you will definitely have an impression.
Although he had never met before, elders were respected, and the other party was definitely not an ordinary person, so after a moment of astonishment, Lin Yi bowed first and saluted.
"Your name is Lin Yi, and your father is Lin Wangbei?" The old man in an old cloth robe asked softly and calmly.
His eyes fell on the two piles of ancient books beside Lin Yi, and he easily saw a few notes that Lin Yi had specially picked out and put aside. The depths of his calm and gentle eyes gradually began to glow with splendor.
"Exactly." Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the old man, "I wonder who the senior is?"
The old man did not answer his question, but asked instead: "You specifically asked someone to let you come in to read a book. Are you here to check the records of spiritual practice in the era of spiritual desolation?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly. He didn't know what the old man's intention was, but he felt that he had no ill intentions, so he nodded silently.
The old man continued calmly and asked: "What did you find?"
Lin Yi listened to the old man's question and became curious about the old man. He did not hesitate and said: "The spirit wilderness has arrived, and since destiny has been like this, I naturally can't sit still and wait for death. I want to read it from these ancient books.
Is there any valuable practice experience? However, whether I was looking for ancient books outside or here, I didn’t find much useful experience, but I was attracted by the deeds of a northern practitioner named ‘Dajura’.”
The old man nodded, "To me, being able to find the 'Da Jura' shows that you are really serious about it. Even in my opinion, the 'Da Jura' is naturally the most critical point."
While Lin Yi was speaking, he kept looking at the old man's face.
At this time, the old man's expression was as usual, as if he was chatting about an unimportant matter. The tone of the old man's words was also very calm, but when he heard it in Lin Yi's ears, it made Lin Yi's heart beat violently.
"Why is it said that 'Da Jura' is the key? Senior, please clarify." Lin Yi calmed down and asked.
The old man still didn't answer, but asked again: "How much do you know about Da Kura now?"
"We don't know much." Lin Yi said seriously: "And these records seem to be contradictory. There is a book in the north that says that Dajuluo practiced some unique breathing and breathing techniques, and developed a practice that is very different from other practices.
However, there are books in the southern region that record that he ate a large amount of food and refined the energy of grains into true essence."
The old man then asked: "Which record do you prefer?"
Lin Yidao: "I prefer the records of the owner of Nanxi Zhai in the south. It's not that I have any discrimination against the records in the north. It's because I recognize the handwriting of the owner of Nanxi Zhai, and the previous notes of the owner of Nanxi Zhai have good reputations. There are very few
Wrong."
The old man looked at Lin Yi, the approval and surprise in his eyes getting stronger and stronger, so much so that he didn't even want to hide it too much.
His eyes lit up.
Lin Yi was stunned.
He had the illusion that this dimly lit pavilion seemed to suddenly become brighter.
"Have you ever thought about it?"
The old man slowly turned sideways, "Actually, the two opinions are not necessarily conflicting. The northerners say that they created their own breathing method, and the southerners say that they use refining food to guide Qi. But could it be that they used a unique breathing method to make the body extremely strong?"
It is strong and can digest food in large quantities, so that Qi and blood are extremely strong."
The old man's words were not a definite instruction, but seemed to be an exploration. However, when the voice fell in Lin Yi's ears, it was like thunder, just like when Chen Baobao told him that the spiritual wilderness was definitely coming.
"It makes perfect sense." He lost his voice a little, "But the Qi and blood are exceptionally strong, which can naturally explain the amazing strength of the physical body and the extremely fast recovery from injuries. But the records say that his true energy is so different, how can anyone explain it? The physical body is strong, it seems.
It will not affect the advancement of Zhenyuan cultivation, and it is even less likely to cause Zhenyuan to undergo many changes that are completely different from those of other cultivators."
The old man asked again: "What is the principle of turning spiritual energy into true essence?"
Lin Yi was startled, but knowing that there must be a purpose, he immediately replied: "Absorb the spiritual energy into the body, fuse the qi, blood, and internal qi, and turn it into true essence."
The old man said calmly: "In addition to spiritual energy, can other vitality be admitted into the body?"
Lin Yi's breathing suddenly stopped.
Naturally, his subconscious answer was no.
According to what he has learned before, or the principles followed by the entire world of practitioners, the reason why spiritual energy is called spiritual energy is that among the countless types of spiritual energy in the world, only this one is specifically called "the spiritual energy of heaven and earth".
, can be accepted and integrated by practitioners.
The spiritual energy is transformed into true energy, which can nourish and strengthen the physical body. Only then will the practitioner's strength increase steadily, falling into a virtuous cycle.
But according to his knowledge, even if the rest of the Qi can be forced into the body, isn't it the "turbid Qi" that practitioners must exclude in order to keep the physical body clean?
Not to mention that this vitality cannot nourish and strengthen the physical body, it is actually harmful to the body.
But at this time, there was another voice in his mind.
This voice kept reminding him that the most critical crux seemed to be right here.
"The earliest beginning of the world of practitioners is to prolong life, maintain purity through meditation, and have an open-minded and unrestrained mind, so that they will naturally be healthy and live a long life." The old man's voice sounded again in this dead library, "But here
During the process of meditation, the earliest monks gradually discovered the spiritual energy in the vitality of heaven and earth that was useful for the physical body. Then they began to truly practice, using spiritual energy to nourish the physical body and strengthen the body. Later, they even figured out how to swallow large amounts of spiritual energy. The earliest ancient books
That’s why the so-called dining clouds come from this.”
"But have you ever thought about it, if eating ordinary food is enough to nourish the physical body and make the physical body very strong, what does it matter if spiritual energy can nourish the physical body?" The old man paused and continued slowly.
Said: "If this great Jura only needs to find a large amount of ordinary food to make his physical body extremely strong, and even the physical recovery ability is far beyond that of a powerful practitioner, then even if he absorbs some harmful energy into his body, he will be able to withstand it as much as possible.
Then any vitality will be the same in his eyes. The key lies in which vitality can be better integrated with the inner energy in his body, and which vitality transforms into true energy, which can be more powerful than the true energy transformed into spiritual energy."
Lin Yi's body trembled slightly.
In just this moment, he had already figured out that this was definitely possible.
The old man did not turn to look at him.
At this time, the old man slowly walked towards the front he was looking at.
There was a bookshelf in front of him. When his hand fell on the bookshelf, the bookshelf was moved by him without any weight.
Behind the bookshelf, there is a natural grid on the wall, which seems to have been used to place fixed oil lamps.
But now there are several ancient books and notes placed in this grid.
"But all these inferences may only be possible." The old man took out these books and handed them to Lin Yi, "Just like these notes you saw, there are many speculations about the records of Dajuluo, but most of them are just local records.
It’s strange and strange, and it’s just told as a story, but no one really gets to the bottom of it, and no one dares to really try it.”
"You can take these books and notes with you. Wait for me here for a while. You have obtained the letter of sponsorship from Nantian Yuan and are going to report to Nantian Yuan. I happen to have a letter. You can help me take it to Nantian Yuan."
After saying these words, before Lin Yi could react, the old man turned around and went downstairs. (To be continued)
