Chapter 111 Five Hearts, Thunder Ocean

After taking the bamboo basket that he had woven earlier and packing the white and black charcoal, Yun Buliu washed himself and began his nighttime homework to study ancient practices and meditate.

Studying ancient practice methods is one of the things you must do every day. Review the past and learn new things. If you think about it from time to time, you may gain new discoveries and insights.

As for meditating and entering concentration, it does not mean that he already knows how to practice, but that he is still in the exploratory stage. He finds that he cannot do such a thing without thinking once he learns it.

He now doubts that those primitive people can easily feel the power of their own blood, not because they are more talented than him, but because their thoughts are too simple and have fewer distracting thoughts.

Yun Buliu felt that he had more distracting thoughts mainly because he had seen more things.

After staying in that world of materialistic desires and information explosion for a long time, it would be strange if our thoughts could remain pure!

Therefore, he felt that it was not because he had no talent for cultivation, nor that he was inferior to those primitive people, but mainly because there were too many temptations in that world.

Otherwise, why would those who practice Taoism and Buddhism stay away from the secular world?

They are actually looking for a quiet place.

As for why those quiet places later turned into lively tourist destinations?

Ahem...I won’t analyze the reasons here. People always have to live!

In short, Yun Buliu felt that he was definitely not without talent, but that the world had given him too many temptations, which made his ideological mirror covered with countless dust.

In order for this bright mirror to shine as it should, he had to wipe away the dust first.

Meditation is the process of wiping away dust. No matter what posture, sitting or lying down, as long as it can speed up this process, anything will do.

However, after trying it again and again, he still felt that this five-hearted posture was better.

In his opinion, this is a very magical feeling, as if this posture has some kind of magic power and can make him calm down faster.

This posture is actually a relatively high-end sitting posture for Taoist practitioners when meditating.

The five centers are the two soles of the feet, the two palms, and the top of the head. It is said that this sitting posture can connect with the energy of the universe and achieve the purpose of quickly gathering energy.

Whether it can be connected with the Qi of the Universe... Yun Buliu couldn't explain why, because he didn't know what the Qi of the Universe was at all.

Perhaps the cosmic energy of this world is that mysterious energy ‘Qi’!

But this sitting position does make it easier for him to calm down. He is now able to calm down, abandon the messy and complicated thoughts, and listen to his own heartbeat and breathing.

Although listening to your heartbeat and breathing is of no use in spiritual practice.

But being able to do this for a long time means that his attention can be focused on one point for a long time, and the distracting thoughts in his mind will not pop up to cause trouble at every turn.

This is actually an improvement. Compared with the situation at the beginning where I felt restless after just a few minutes, it is already much better.

The next step is to dig deeper from this point to see if you can sense the mysterious energy from the outside world, or the power of qi and blood in your own body.

In his opinion, this should be regarded as a subtle level of perception.

Sensing the power of Qi and blood can be said to be internal, and can be regarded as 'internal vision'. Sensing the mysterious energy 'Qi' from the outside can be called 'external', and can be regarded as external.

One is internal and the other is external... Perhaps those primitive ancestors evolved the practice of the ancient ancestors into what it is today because they have mastered the ability to perceive the inside.

Therefore, the original "external training" was moved to "internal training".

The 'external training' here does not refer to the external training of muscles, bones and skin, but refers to the use of external force to condense oneself. The external force here refers to the mysterious energy 'Qi'.

And 'internal training' refers to the power of refining one's own body's Qi and blood.

Practicing one breath internally is quite different from this one.

At some point, there seemed to be a 'buzz' sound in his mind.

In just a moment, he seemed to feel that the world in front of him had changed, and he seemed to be in a sea of ​​thunder.

There was raging thunder all around, and thunder snakes were dancing, which scared him to the point where his heart was pounding.

It was this sudden fright that made him come back to his senses from this weird illusion.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the surroundings were quiet, but soon, the sound of insects could be heard in the grass, accompanied by one or two sounds of geese and geese from the warriors of Go Village.

On the large lake not far away, the stars were swaying, and there was no scene of thunder raging anywhere.

Although the scene just flashed by, like an hallucination, which made Yun Buliu feel a little surprised. But he still felt that this was not an hallucination, but that he might have reached the edge of inner vision and saw what he saw.

Thunder may be the secret to becoming stronger by charging itself.

This conjecture made him a little excited.

As a result of this excitement, he could no longer enter the wonderful realm just now.

He didn't know what time it was now. Seeing that he couldn't enter meditation again, he had to get up and go upstairs to rest.

When I saw him getting up and going upstairs to rest, the little furball who was taking a nap on the roof of the small bamboo building turned over and jumped into the window on the second floor and got into the animal skin of the rattan chair.

The little cubs lying in the hall on the first floor of the Bamboo House...actually can't be considered cubs anymore, they are almost one year old tiger cubs.

Seeing Yun Buliu going to rest, Xiao Jinzi also stood up and followed him upstairs.

Xiaobai, who was curled up in a ball in front of the window on the second floor, holding his little head up as if he was breathing, and his body rising and falling with him, heard the sound of Yun Buliu going upstairs and followed him back to bed.

I don’t know if it’s because someone needs to warm the bed for it, but as long as Yun Buliu doesn’t rest, it will never get into bed first.

But he had no choice but to let this white snake sneak into his bed and do whatever it wanted, as long as it was happy!



The next day, Yun Buliu got up early and went to the vegetable garden to take a look.

Although there is a lot of morning dew in summer and the surface layer of soil in the vegetable garden is a little damp, it is of no use as it dries immediately as soon as the sun comes out.

It has not rained for several days now. It can even be said that it has not rained since the soybeans and millet were planted.

Yun Buliu was a little worried that these seeds would not germinate, so he would get up early in the morning to water the soybeans and millet, as well as the wild vegetables and medicinal herbs he planted.

As a result, today he discovered that those soybeans actually had a hint of green color emerging from them.

This discovery made him overjoyed.
