Chapter 26 Waiting
It seems very simple to sense qi and spiritual communication. The meridians only have five acupoints, which can only improve internal strength. Its main function is to feel the inspiration, while the side effect is to be smart and clear-eyed. Since humans were born, they cannot feel the spiritual energy in this world independently. Occasionally, there are no one in millions of people with such talents. Most people still need special methods to increase their understanding of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This method is the most basic method of introductory Taoism. The qi and spiritual communication techniques of various sects are basically the same, and there is no difference between high and low.
Life in the world begins with the mother's fetus. At this time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the most compatible, but wisdom has not been born and there is no spiritual knowledge. After birth, as we grow older, various impurities and dirt gradually grow in the body, and the compatibility with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is getting lower and lower. Therefore, the older we are, the lower the chance of sensation and spiritual communication. The Taoist sect takes the age of 12-15 as the condition for entering Taoism, which is the result of comprehensive consideration. Li Ji is now 22 years old and values Dharma. Fairy Yun is not optimistic about him.
In this way, he hits the acupoints every day, and sometimes practices swords and fists, and almost never leaves the house. After seven days, the Jizhong point opens. The next point is Lingtai. Fortunately, during Li Ji's previous internal skills practice, this point also opened, so he began to hit the Dazhui point. This rush took fifteen days to break, leaving only the last Naohu point. Because of the fineness of the human brain, Li Ji had to be careful and stiff here for a while.
Seeing that August is approaching, Shenfang City is gradually becoming lively. Children of wealthy families, officials and wealthy merchants in various cities around him gathered in Shenfang to prepare for their children to participate in the five-year enrollment of the New Moon Gate. The Taoist Sect is not unfamiliar with the fireworks of the world, so various conspiracies and plots, interests are divided and combined, and undercurrents are surging.
These dirty things have nothing to do with Li Ji. He was as low-key as a grain of sand on the beach, trying his best to hide his uniqueness. He would not change this way of dealing with the world before he came into contact with and mastered the mysterious secrets of Taoism.
In early August, Li Ji went to Xiaoyue Temple and recognized the road. Xiaoyue Temple was only 30 to 40 miles away from Shenfang City. The road was very wide, and he did not want to go to the ancient temple of Zhongming Temple. It makes sense to think about it. Every five years, a large number of wealthy and powerful so-called Taoist children went to practice the truth and enter the Tao. After hundreds of years, even the mountain was leveled.
Most Taoist people in Xiaoyue Temple are ordinary people, and they are peaceful and easy to get along with. Li Ji ate a vegetarian vegetarian meal here, cooked a few sticks of incense, and left ten taels of incense and returned directly. He didn't go to the master of the temple. It's better to have less trouble than to have more things. It's better to be low-key to go to the back door to get into the lineup.
Time flies, and it is August 15th. The August 15th in this world is also a full moon night, but there is no festival. Li Ji asked the restaurant to send a table, and he drank by himself alone, and he was free. Since he traveled to this world, his closest relatives have become memories. He can never hear the complaints from his parents again. He can only know how to cherish them when he loses them, but he cannot look back.
Missing him silently surrounded him like the moonlight, making him more clear about what he thought. The reason why he was so determined to be in the Tao was not just for immortality, but also thought about finding a way home.
I haven't drunk for a long time, and I feel a little refreshed after a little indulging, so I continue to rush to the acupoints. Maybe it's the natural result of continuous efforts for more than 20 days, or maybe it's the more I've been controlling my internal strength after drinking. After two failed attacks, I increased my internal strength for the third time. I felt a "boom" from my brain, and the barrier rushed past. The internal strength began to circumnavigate. Li Ji suppressed his excitement and, as shown in the Taoist Simplified, his waist, spiritual platform, spine, Dazhui, and the inner energy went straight through dozens of times before he stopped.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the courtyard in front of him seemed to be a little different from the past, with a clearer vision and a more sensitive ear power. His nose could even smell the fragrance of cold dishes on the stone table not far away... This is perception, so magical... Although he could not sense the inspiration in the air, just this level of improvement has already made him a very considerable help as a warrior.
The method of practicing qi and spiritual communication was not only helpful to him. In the following days of practicing sword, Li Ji found that the connection between him and the heavy sword Wufeng was closer. Wufeng had emotions, which he had known for a long time. Now he was more sure of this, and seemed to be able to vaguely feel whether it was happy or angry, as if a baby in the womb was trying hard to express something... This is really a crazy world, and the sword is about to become a spirit?
On the first day of September, the post road leading to Xiaoyue Temple in Shenfang City at Zhongtiao Mountain was full of people, and there were traffic. A child was often accompanied by several family and friends, and more groom followers, and the noise was extremely quarreling. Li Ji was mixed in the abortion, just like a bodyguard guard of a noble family. At his age, no one would think he was coming to the New Moon Gate.
There were much more people on the road than I thought, even if most of them were just companions. In Xichang, Lao Cangtou said that there were only dozens of disciples selected each time, and here, the number of Taoist children must be hundreds of. This is very abnormal. Is there such a big difference between taking disciples once every five years and once every three years? Li Ji had to recall what Qi Chongfa once said, "There is a difficulty in the Xinyue Gate being defeated?" So he accepted disciples more than he had? So the standards were lowered?
This does not seem to be a good sign, but Li Ji has no choice. Apart from the Xinyue Sect, which sect can allow him to enter? As the world's highest profession, Taoist sect has never been a luxury for poor people. With such an opportunity, Li Ji is already very satisfied, even if there may be risks.
Thirty or forty miles will arrive soon, and the hillside outside the Xiaoyue Temple in Zhongtiao Mountain is already crowded with people. Only Taoist children are qualified to enter the temple. This is a rule, no one can overcome it. Even if it is a royal family, in front of Taoist schools, the secular power and wealth are a bit ridiculous.
So, when Li Jishiran walked into the Taoist temple gate, many people were waiting to see his jokes, but they were disappointed.
In the open space outside the front hall of Xiaoyue Temple, more than 200 Taoist children stood quietly and waited quietly. New Taoist children continued to join behind. Li Ji wanted to find a less conspicuous place, but found that this was in vain. He was more than six feet tall than 1.8 meters tall in his previous life. Compared with a group of teenagers who were no more than five feet on average, he was truly outstanding.
On the high platform of the front hall, two Taoists stood, Xiaoyue was watching the master Fang Song and Shen Fangcheng Road official river. Both of them closed their eyes and rested, as if they were not aware of Li Ji, the alien.
An hour later, a cloud board sounded, and the Taoist boys walked towards the back hall under the leadership of several middle-aged Taoists. There seemed to be no discernment process, but Li Ji knew that things might not be that simple. These Taoist boys studied in the Taoist Palace in Shenfang City all year round. People should be very clear about whether there are any Taoists who are mixed with fish eyes.
Seeing that more than 200 Taoist children were almost gone, Li Ji stopped a middle-aged Taoist and handed over the jade slips given by Chongfa. The Taoist seemed to have insufficient identity, so he presented the jade slips with Fang Song, the head of Xiaoyue Temple on the high platform. Then Li Ji saw the owner of the temple and waved to him.
"I have met the old immortal master in the country of Xiananli..." Li Ji walked over and took a deep oar.
"Well, Nanli Country is not close, so it's hard to run around for you..." Fang Song Gujing Bubo. "My fellow Chongfa Dao has an old age and the elder Fangshan of our sect. I am also familiar with the old Taoist. Since Chongfa recommends you to come, I can't stop you from the way of the way... In this way, can you learn the method of sensation and spiritual communication?"
"Reported to the Immortal Master, what I learned." Li Ji replied respectfully.
"My fellow Master Chongfa wants to give you an opportunity, which is to enter the blessed land to feel the energy and end the cause and effect. As for whether it is successful or not, it is only up to you, do you understand?"
"Success is in heaven, something is in man... Whether it is accomplished or not, it is enough to be content."
"You are kind-hearted and Fayuan, please bring this friend in. All the rules and regulations are just like Taoist boys." Fang Song waved his hand and said.
It was done, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had expected it, he was still a little nervous when things were about to come. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and the next step was all dependent on his own ability.
