Chapter 6 6. Vipassana
There was a roar of thunder.

As a loud rumbling sound echoed in his ears, Xu Qing's consciousness, which had flown high into the sky, fell back into his body.

The moment his consciousness returned, Xu Qing immediately felt some unique changes taking place in his body.

He didn't know what specific changes had taken place, he just had that feeling.

"Is it related to the repair of the innate foundation?"

Xu Qing guessed that it was related to this.

But I didn't spend too much time to explore what changes had happened to my body.

Because no matter what changes occur, they are all for the better.

but
"Just now my consciousness seemed to suddenly fly into the sky, taking in the scenery of the world. Were those scenes all illusions?"

Xu Qing was thinking about what he had just seen.

The mountains are rolling, the rivers are winding, and the stars are across the sky.
He didn't understand why he suddenly saw this.

But when his consciousness was elevated, the feeling that the world was at the center of him and he was in control of it was so wonderful that he couldn't help but want to do it again.

I don't know.

Taoist Qingning, who had been paying attention to Xu Qing, widened his eyes when he noticed that Xu Qing's consciousness was moving abnormally.

The rune light that was flashing and changing in his eyes was so startled that it stopped for a moment.

Taoist Qingning suspected that he had seen it wrong.

The instantaneous change that just occurred to that boy.
It is clearly "introspection"!
But how is it possible?!
“Introspection” is a method that only practitioners in the realm of spiritual cultivation can access!
Notice.

Of all things created by nature, man is the most precious.

This is because only humans can best emulate Heaven and follow the laws of Earth.

The sky has the sun and the moon, the earth is divided into two poles, and humans have two eyes; the sky has five stars, the earth produces five elements, and humans have five internal organs; the stars are arranged in a circle according to the number of celestial bodies, and the human body also has thirty-six and five major acupoints to correspond to the stars.

There are four seasons, and people have four limbs; there are mountains on the earth, and people have shoulders and knees; there are twelve months in a year, and people have twelve festivals.
All these things are the correspondence between man and heaven and earth.

Therefore, there is a saying that the human body is a small universe, and the universe is bigger than the human body.

“Introspection” is about observing the concrete little world of the human body.

But how could an ordinary person who had just started practicing cultivation reach such a mysterious state? !

See this.

Taoist Qingning became more and more curious about Xu Qing.

With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Xu Qing's talent was not obvious because of his lack of innate foundation.

Now that I have learned the method of building the foundation and rebuilding my roots, it is like a dusty pearl wiping off the dust on its face and shining again.

"What a great seedling!"

When Taoist Qingning looked at Xu Qing again at this time, his eyes seemed as if he was looking at a rare and precious treasure.

"Uncle Qingning, what happened?"

Of the four Taoist priests waiting on the side, the young Taoist priest who was chatting with Chen Jingxin earlier couldn't hold back and said:
"Why did this disciple recruitment meeting last so long?"

"It's been an hour!"

As per usual.

The second concern test of the disciple-recruiting conference is that the foundation-building method will only be passed down to new disciples for two quarters of an hour to comprehend it.

Afterwards, the Taoist priest who presided over the meeting would give advice and instructions to the new disciples regarding their performance in practicing meditation.

After that.

Apart from the daily morning and evening exercises, the temple allows new disciples to practice on their own.

"Uncle Qingning has his own considerations, so just stay calm." Chen Jingxin signaled him to be patient.

"Junior Brother An Ran." Another Taoist priest also spoke up, "Those who seek the Tao must avoid being impatient."

The young Taoist priest Sun Anran slapped his lips.

"No more, no more."

at this time.

Taoist Qingning, who was sitting cross-legged on the boulder, seemed to have heard Sun Anran's complaint and suddenly said:

"Okay, stop practicing and open your eyes."

The Taoist's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Some of the disciples, who were of lively temperament and had been unable to sit still for a long time, suddenly opened their eyes and stood up as if they had been pardoned.

The others who were calmer in temperament also ended their practice as instructed.

Taoist Qingning looked around.

not bad.

After only an hour and a quarter of an hour, five people had already glimpsed the way and reached the stage of entering into a state of meditation and condensing nectar. Unfortunately, no one could persist.

It is difficult to calm your mind and to maintain a peaceful state of mind for such a long time.

Once there is any disturbance, the idea will be in vain and all the efforts will be wasted.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. From the generation of true Qi, to the meeting of golden fluid and jade liquid, and then to the filling of nectar into the major acupoints of the human body, every step cannot be taken lightly.

“This is the skill of entering into a state of meditation.”

Taoist Qingning retracted his gaze, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he said earnestly:

"It seems simple, just closing your eyes and meditating, but in fact meditation is just a form. The important thing is to be peaceful in your heart."

"There are many ways in Taoism, whether it is the higher or the lower level, they all cannot escape the word 'quiet'."

"If you understand the magic of the word 'quiet', you can slowly pursue the great path."

"Okay, today's teaching ends here." Taoist Qingning turned to look at Chen Jingxin and the other three who were waiting on the side, "Next, the four of you should take these disciples to the dining hall and the Taoist children's courtyard."

"I will obey the orders of my uncle."

Chen Jingxin and the other three bowed their heads in Taoist style and accepted the order in unison.

Taoist Qingning nodded, and finally encouraged the new disciples:
"I hope you will practice well and build your foundation soon."

"Once the foundation is established, the Qi and meridians will be unobstructed, and the body will be strong and healthy, free from all diseases, and one can live to be a hundred years old."

Living to be a hundred years old does not mean extending one's lifespan.

But when a person is healthy and free from disasters, he can live to be a hundred years old.

However, there are always disasters like this in the world, and most people are busy with various trivial matters and supporting their families, which leads to the loss of a lot of life.

Such encouraging words do not have much effect on the children of wealthy families, because they can achieve the same goal by taking health-preserving medicines.

But for the lower-class people whose average life expectancy is only 40 years old.

If one achieves foundation building, not only can one become a formal disciple of Yuanfu Temple, but one can also live to be a hundred years old without any illness or disaster, which is extremely attractive.

Among this group of people, disciples who came from poor families accounted for far more than half.

Therefore, all of a sudden, everyone's motivation and enthusiasm for practice soared.

Taoist Qingning before leaving.

He glanced at Xu Qing inconspicuously.

He did not give Xu Qing any special care because of his special situation.

He planned to observe secretly for a few more days to see what kind of character Xu Qing was.

The fastest time to build the foundation is more than a month. No matter how good your talent is, you have to follow this rule, so there is no need to rush.

People are already in the Taoist temple, how can he run away?

After Taoist Qingning left.

Chen Jingxin and four other Taoist priests took a group of new disciples to the Taoist Temple.

Daotongyuan is a large compound divided into four small courtyards in the east, west, south and north. Each courtyard has two side rooms. Apart from two large bunk beds against the wall, there are no other extra furnishings in the side rooms.

The environment is simple, but fortunately it is clean.

Xu Qing and Fatty Li were assigned to the East Courtyard, which was managed by Chen Jingxin.

"Xu Qing, you said swallowing saliva, no, what's so difficult about the foundation-building method?"

Xu Qing and Fatty Li didn't have much stuff, so it was easy to pack up. After packing up, the two began to chat.

When talking about the topic of foundation building, Fatty Li's eyes flickered with light and his look was disdainful.

"As soon as I sat down and closed my eyes, I felt a sweet taste in my mouth."

"Isn't this the clear and sweet nectar that the old Taoist priest talked about?"

"Xu Qing, tell me, could I be that one in a million genius in cultivation?"

At this time, Chen Jingxin just walked in. After hearing the words, she glanced at Fatty Li, and her expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Junior brother, did you eat anything before practicing your skills?"

"I ate three big meat buns." Fatty Li blurted out, "Oh, and a pancake Xu Qing gave me!"

"Junior brother, is there a possibility?" Chen Jing carefully considered his words, thinking about how to say it so as not to offend Fatty Li, "Your saliva is sweet because the food in your teeth has not been completely digested?"

Fatty Li: “.”

"No way, senior brother." The fat on Fatty Li's face trembled and his expression was extremely awkward.

"How about you skip dinner tonight and try the foundation-building method?" Chen Jingxin said with a smile.

Fatty Li took a look at Chen Jingxin's expression and couldn't hold it anymore, so he quickly raised his hands to cover his fat face.

When the other people in the room saw this scene, they burst into laughter.
