Chapter 4 Point Star()

It's late at night and everything is silent.

Xu Xian was lying on his small bed and sleeping soundly. When no one knew it, a little green light circulated in his body, not following any meridians. Xu Xian's body was like a container holding water, and that little green light was in the water.

The fish kept swimming. At first it was just a little smaller, like a sprinkled fry, but after swimming for a few hours, it became slightly bigger. When the stars disappeared, the little green light also disappeared.

Hide.

After waking up the next day, Xu Xian rubbed his head and suspected that last night was a dream. Suddenly he touched a book in his hand, picked it up and took a look. Isn't it the hardcover "Tao Te Ching"? Although at a glance

It is a rare ancient book, but this secret book is too bad. At least it should be given the palm of this Tathagata or something!

Xu Xian vaguely remembered what happened last night. The Taoist priest seemed to have put something in his head, but just like the Four Books and Five Classics he memorized, he seemed to know everything, but he didn't know anything. It really gave him a headache.

"Xu Xian, hurry up and go to the private school. You will scold me if you are late." My sister's voice came. Xu Xian jumped out of bed helplessly, ate dinner in a hurry, and walked towards the private school. The so-called sir is just an old scholar, and everyone else

The older he gets, the earlier he gets up, but he becomes more and more sleepy, so he starts lectures late. This also allows lazy guys like Xu Xian to sleep a little longer.

Xu Xian's mind was already far away, just like he was following dozens of children, big and small, shaking his head in a daze.

With a "pop" sound, the ruler fell hard on Xu Xian's table. Xu Xian was a person who had seen big scenes, so naturally he would not be frightened by such little tricks. He slowly raised his head and looked at the old scholar, saying "You

What's going on?"

What the old man hated most was this kind of guy who didn't respect teachers. His beard trembled with anger and he said: "Recite what you just read to me again. If you make a wrong sentence, it will be a ruler." Immediately, countless children snickered.

Xu Xian stood up slowly, with a graceful demeanor and no appearance of panic, which made the old scholar even more dissatisfied.

Xu Xian was ready to be beaten, and then recited in a manly voice: "Sincerity is the way of heaven; sincerity is the way of man. Honesty is the way to achieve without forcing it, and it is achieved without thinking. The middle way is the saint."

Also..." Xu Xian was still a bit difficult at first, but then, the words seemed to jump to his eyes one by one, and he read on easily.

The old man's eyes widened more and more, and he felt like he didn't recognize the person in front of him anymore. However, after not seeing him for a night, the most stupid one among his students could already recite everything by heart.

Xu Xian was so happy that he thought to himself: "Does the Taoist priest's finger increase intelligence? Bah, this is not a game. It turns stone into gold. It turns a stubborn stone like mine into gold."

Little did he know, that simple finger contained so much effort of the Taoist priest. If a human monk wants to become an immortal and realize the Tao, he must survive three great tribulations. The Taoist priest has already gone through it twice, but he knows that the last time will not matter.

If you can't get over it, just find a successor to pass on your Taoism and transfer that bit of Taoism directly into Xu Xian's soul. For ordinary people with excellent qualifications, the first step to start practicing is also very difficult.

It's so dangerous, it's not like he walked in right after sleeping.

But that finger also contains great dangers. People who are not strong-willed and have deep blessings cannot use this technique. Fortunately, Xu Xian is a person with profound merits and can withstand the power of this finger. He has a clear mind.

, it makes sense, but the title of that finger is "opening the mind". It imprints the Taoist mentality into Xu Xian's soul. However, when the Taoist preached, he was worried that Xu Xian would be distracted and only preached the Tao but not the Tao.

Fa. It's like practicing martial arts and only practicing internal skills without understanding the moves at all.

As the night fell, Xu Xian said goodbye to private school and returned home. Xu Xian had a hurried dinner, told his sister about today's interesting things, made her smile, and even praised Xu Xian for being enlightened. Xu Xian was naturally disrespectful and said, "That's right, that's right."

If my sister is annoyed that he is not modest, scold him.

After dinner, Xu Xian hurried back to his hut. He couldn't close his mouth with joy. It turned out that he had really met a god. He couldn't help but pay attention to the things in his mind, put on a five-hearted posture, and worked hard.

Practice. But my legs are numb and I haven’t accomplished anything.

Xu Xian was annoyed, is his talent really that bad? Don't people just learn whatever they want when they travel through time? After practicing for a long time through gritted teeth, I still didn't have any experience.

Finally, I slumped down on the bed and thought with no ambition: When my wife comes, I will let her teach me.

The night was dark, and Xu Xian suddenly thought that his Taoist master might still be there! After putting on his shoes, he walked out. The bridge was empty. Xu Xian walked around twice on both sides and found no one. He just felt that his eyes were bright,

I can now vaguely see clearly in dark places that I normally couldn't see clearly.

After wandering for a while, Xu Xian was upset and lay helplessly on the bridge railing, looking at the black river flowing silently under his feet. The autumn wind and the river flowed through the bridge hole together, singing an unknown song carefully,

Eternal. But in this black river, there are always countless lights flickering faintly.

Xu Xian suddenly raised his head. The vast stars were shining, the sky and the earth were empty. Xu Xian's troubled mind suddenly became insignificant and not worth mentioning. Xu Xian was only a hundred years old, the river was endless for thousands of years, and the stars were eternal.

Xu Xian suddenly realized that the so-called way to seek immortality is to abandon the troubles of this world, be with the river, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the stars? But let alone mortals, they are real immortals and Buddhas. Compared with this universe, they are nothing.

What? Not even a bit of stardust! A mayfly that lives and dies, an indescribable summer insect. This is the relationship between humans and immortals! While the summer insect laughs at the mayfly, how is he himself?

What about the shallowness of my body? My body also has a limit, and the Tao also has no limit. Isn’t it crazy to use a body with a limit to seek the limitless Tao?

People don't know that the so-called night now is just the shadow of a star, and the sun has not disappeared even in the dark night.

Xu Xian probably could not have imagined that the astronomical knowledge he learned in his previous life would be used in this way in this life. His unique world view gave him a more special understanding than the so-called immortals and Buddhas in this life. Regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, the essence of cultivation

Above is the word "heart". When the state of mind is clear, all dharmas can be understood.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes were watching this scene, and the shock in his heart was no less than that of the old scholar. He wanted to give this disciple one final pointer tonight, and then test his character without showing up. Xu Xian gave up without the willpower.

When he was searching and lying slumped on the bridge, the Taoist priest was still disappointed and felt that he was being entrusted to someone else.

But just now, he saw with his own eyes that bit of green light in Xu Xian's soul suddenly surged, turning from green to red, glowing with blazing light, no longer swimming, but standing in the middle, illuminating the darkness in the entire soul.

"Sun Star! Can anyone really light up the Sun Star?" Taoist priests murmured to themselves. Their sect is called "Xingxiu Sea", and the Taoist methods they practice are also consistent with the stars. Although they are the same method,

But in the hands of different people, there will be different paths. The decision of this path is what star corresponds to that little bit of blue light, which is the second level of practice, "pointing the star."

Different stars have different effects, but they can also be distinguished. The highest one lights up the fourteen kinds of stars in the Big Dipper and the South Dipper. The ordinary ones are all other miscellaneous stars. But the highest one lights up the Ziwei Star Emperor.

That is something that is rare in thousands of years. Stars are nature, and stars are fate. The first star determines the path of spiritual practice in a lifetime.

The Taoist priest's name is Taiyin Zhenren, because the first star he lights is the Taiyin star, which is also commonly known as the moon. The Taiyin star is extremely bright, slightly higher than the Big Dipper and the South Dipper, but it depends most on fate. If it is a full moon night,

, when the star power is strongest, even Ziwei may be slightly behind it, but if it is the beginning of the month or the end of the month, the star power is extremely weak, at most it is only the power of miscellaneous stars. And the Taoist priest calculates his third heavenly tribulation, it is in the star power

When he was at his weakest, it was fate and he was helpless.

But there is one star that only exists in the concept of "Galaxy", and that is the sun. The stars are at night, and their sect practices at night. Of course, it is also night when the stars are pointed. At this time, the sun disappears, which is the time of extreme yin.

According to their concept, the sun has already set, so how can it light up? Xu Xian succeeded in lighting up the stars the next day. This is already a rare talent, and the thing that lit up turned out to be the sun, which is impossible to light up.

The stars made the Taoist himself feel incredible.

There were also people in the door who tried to light up the stars and the sun during the day, but it was very easy to do so, and they were incinerated on the spot by the real fire of the sun. So no one tried it again.

Be it the crape myrtle or the lunar moon, the sun rises and the stars set, and the sun rises and the moon disappears. What do you, the Lord of the stars, mean to you? In the solar system, only the big fireball is the protagonist.

The Taoist priest sighed slightly: "It seems that I have accepted a great disciple!" I originally wanted to give Xu Xian some advice, but now looking at the dazzling brilliance in Xu Xian's soul, my interest was somewhat waning. I am afraid that my own advice may have turned Xu Xian off.

If you take the wrong path, you will disappear quietly in the darkness.

Xu Xian stood at the end of the bridge, immersed in that wonderful state. It was not until dawn that Xu Xian felt his body burning hot and he came back to his senses. The sun in the daytime was still not something he could bear.

Xu Xian, who hurriedly ran home, still didn't know that he had laid the most important step for his spiritual practice. The main star was determined, and then he would build a star palace. But if the sun is used as the main star and the stars disappear, how to build it?

What about the Star Palace? This was the Taoist priest's only worry. But it didn't bother Xu Xian. After one night of enlightenment, he felt that his mind had never been more open. He could now let go of many things that he cared about, and he felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

.

He is not without worries about the poverty he lives now. He also thought about copying a few poems to improve his life. Anyway, this is the Xia Dynasty, and it is no problem to copy Tang poems and Song lyrics one by one. But for such a child, under such a famous reputation
