Chapter 34 Eating and sleeping are important things

Could it be that this rare night's sleep was due to the fact that the bed beneath me was made of cedar?

Cedar trees do have the effect of nourishing energy and calming the mind, but there are also two big cedar trees in front of the cave inside my Xuanji Gate. I don’t feel such an obvious feeling every time I meditate under the trees!

Could it be that besides the cedar tree, there are other unknown reasons for its calming effect?

How long has it been since you slept peacefully like this?

It seems that when I was a child, before I entered the sect, I had such a sleepy and thoughtless night beside my parents.

When I was a child, I didn't seem to enjoy much of such a night. I quickly discovered my spiritual roots and began to practice enlightenment with my family members.

From then on, it was the lights at the third watch and the chicken at the fifth watch.

Before going to bed, you should think about which spells you have not mastered today, which clan members are younger than you, how dare you fall asleep, and which nights do you not recite the Tao secrets silently in your heart until you fall asleep!

Sometimes I am so anxious that I toss and turn, feeling ashamed for my uncontrollable sleepiness.

Every morning I was woken up by my father and hurried into the practice hall. Together with everyone else, I solemnly accepted the inspection of the previous day's homework by the elders of the clan.

Everyday meals and sleep are rushed, just to maintain the basic needs of the body.

After entering the master's sect, he was cut off from sleep. A bottle of Bigu Pill and a futon were enough to meet his daily needs. He practiced continuously during the day, and at night he had to meditate and gain enlightenment. He wished he could have twelve more hours in a day.

Come.

From morning to night, and from night to day, all I can do is repeat the cycle, practice spells, absorb spiritual energy, take elixirs, and transform elixirs... It has become a habit.

Sometimes after returning from training, I am so tired that I fall down on the stone bed and fall asleep for two days. However, I have never fallen asleep so peacefully and woke up naturally, surrounded by soft quilts and the subtle fragrance floats.

On the second day after falling asleep and waking up peacefully, Qi Ning recorded:

"It was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year 1,562 of the Qing Dynasty. I had a good sleep last night, very peacefully."

Remembering this, Qi Ningzhi couldn't help but reflect: He had not practiced cultivation all night, but he was able to sleep peacefully in this strange environment, and he slept so soundly. He really lived up to the expectations of his parents and teachers...

Qi Ningzhi quickly put away this feeling of guilt, because after living in Shaoqing Mountain for a long time, if he felt guilty for every thing that was not in line with the common sense of Taoism, his Taoist heart would definitely collapse.

So he went on to write down his thoughts:

"The road to cultivation is long! It is a long-term plan and a plan for the master. It is important to understand the current situation and not follow the path of cultivation!"

Qi Ningzhi found a reasonable reason that could be explained from the righteousness of monasticism, and lived a mountain life on Shaoqing Mountain with peace of mind.

Every night, Qi Ningzhi still reviewed his master's mental skills and cultivated his spiritual power as usual, but he had been able to control the time well. He stopped before midnight, briefly recorded what he had gained that day, and then went to sleep peacefully.

Every morning, Qi Ningzhi jumped out of bed with a sense of satisfaction. That refreshing feeling was indeed more pleasant than meditating all night.

When he had breakfast and dinner with everyone, he was able to chat with everyone more and more familiarly, and sometimes he would also chat with the pearl fisher aunt.

It turns out that chatting with friends while eating is such a good feeling!

Spiritual rice, fairy mushrooms, and ordinary meals are all appetizing, and the warm aroma of pots and pans like this on Shaoqing Mountain really seems to fill a vague missing piece in his heart. When he returned to Fuxiangju to practice again, he felt

I feel more spiritual and energetic!

Several obscure points in my previous practice were unknowingly loosened and passed smoothly.

What's more, the food on Shaoqing Mountain is really good!

After he started coming to have breakfast and dinner with everyone every day, he realized that the name "Zhiweitang" was really worthy of its name! He had never seen everyone's appetites taken care of so well in the Xuanjimen Dining Hall, which was known as the first in the welfare of Taoist disciples.

Food!

Zhiweitang not only has ordinary food that ordinary Taoist people look down on, but also has many immortal delicacies that Taoist people are reluctant to eat.

Polygonatum and Poria cocos, which are more than a century old, are common. The side dishes that accompany rice and porridge every day are star mushrooms or crested mushrooms that are sold by the piece in the market.

Every once in a while, my aunt would bring out a large pot of milky white soup made from Lilong fish or Hengmao fish.

Lingbeiqi crabs found deep in the Guiyun Sea are rare on the mainland, and can often be eaten here.

There were also several times when Qi Ningzhi felt that the animal bones were strange after eating them, but could not tell what they were. At this time, he was no longer embarrassed and asked questions.

Young Fu Shouxuan told him in a nonchalant tone, that is, the white-antler deer from Tianyu Mountain, the Guishan cattle from Wutuo Mountains, etc...

In his opinion, aren't these treasures that have the effect of nourishing the mind, exercising the body, and condensing Qi? They are all used to boil medicine and make elixirs, and here they are either used to make soup or stir-fry!

Everyone is so accustomed to eating it.

Well, Qi Ningzhi has become accustomed to it.

Especially after he figured out the reason, he was not surprised at all.

Shaoqing Mountain has mountains and rivers, and the land is close to the East China Sea and the sea of ​​clouds. There are wandering cultivators here and there. The major island owners all bring some fresh local products to barter with Lingyi's disciples.

There are many local products that are expensive outside, but they are sold locally. You don’t need to exchange them for spiritual stones, so you can use them as you like.

The Blue Sky Stone in Shaoqing Mountain and the tool formations refined by Rusong are all things that everyone likes. In addition, many monks want things that cannot be exchanged for spiritual stone treasures, such as the unique and ingenious stone refined by Rusong.

Small utensils, and some advice from Ling Yan.

Even if Ling Yan's golden elixir is damaged, his realm is still there. After years of accumulation, his vision and strength can crush the vast majority of golden elixir stage monks, even comparable to some Nascent Soul monks; he also studied under the world's top Taoist sect, and gave some advice

The righteous method of cultivation is better than the many days of meditation and understanding of ordinary ascetics. This is why most of the major island owners in Guiyun Sea have good relations with Shaoqingshan. Even a sparring session with his disciple Yunqing is not enough.

It’s very helpful!

I guess everyone knows what Shao Qingshan likes. As time goes by, the supplies become more and more abundant.

Therefore, Zhiweitang in Shaoqing Mountain can be said to have gathered most of the delicacies of the Blue Sky World.

These local products from all over the world may be as rare as spiritual stones in the outside world, but to local monks who are well versed in the key points, they are not that rare.

In the short time since Qi Ning arrived, he had seen two monks dropping bulging mustard bags outside the mountain gate and saying hello to the mountain guarding formation, "The owner of the floating umbrella island Xiang Lingzhenren"

"Congratulations" and so on, without receiving a reply, he just flew away without caring.

Xiyan Rusong and others in the formation accepted the things. Once they threw out a box of blue sky stone marrow as a return gift, and another time they just said thank you twice and ended the deal. It can be seen that this kind of thing is extremely common.

What's more, most sects don't have a master of weapon refining like Song, who constantly uses his best skills to improve the spirit fire stove. How can there be a dedicated housekeeper like Auntie Pearl, who is busy changing the stoves for everyone every day?
