Chapter Eleven: The Evil Ghost in the Pool Gets Gravel
To test the method, it is natural to choose a place where there are no people around.
Chen Changsheng walked around the alley, but never found a suitable place. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
But when he turned around, he saw a sealed courtyard.
He paused and looked up, only to see that the yard was in a dilapidated state, as if no one had lived there for a long time.
“This is a great place.”
He stepped forward and clicked the bolt.
"Is anyone there?"
"Is anyone here?"
Seeing that no one agreed, he felt relieved.
He glanced at the wall, then took two steps back, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and used his legs to push over.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Changsheng discovered that the courtyard was even more dilapidated than he imagined.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, as were the cracks in the eaves, and the house was covered in spider webs.
There seems to be a fish pond on the side of the yard, with a huge stone in the middle, but there is no water in it, so it is empty.
Chen Changsheng didn't care. He found a place with few weeds and sat down cross-legged. He spread the page of Qi training techniques copied in his arms in front of him and started reading.
"Don't look around, and the mind returns to the heart, which is the foundation of tranquility. Refining the mind can be divided into four steps, namely, close the mind, keep one mind, stop thoughts, and enter tranquility..."
Chen Changsheng then looked down and found that the content inside was somewhat similar to what he knew in his previous life.
Refining spirit, refining qi, and refining essence belong to the day after tomorrow.
Shuntian Dao is the foundation building, including the three practical skills of refining the spirit, refining the qi, and refining the essence, which are acquired. Going against the sky is the superior immortal power, which is the level above the elixir, including refining the qi, refining the qi, and refining the spirit.
Xu, the transformation power of Xu and Dao is innate.
"Qi training, spirit training, essence training, which one should I try first?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a while, he was going to die soon, and then he would only have thoughts. It would be better to start with God Refining, maybe he could practice during his "death" time.
He was told to sit down, so he did it with his legs crossed as described in the Dharma.
Pinch the Ziwu Jue with your hands, with your left hand on top and your right hand on bottom. The thumb of your left hand pinches the tip of the middle finger, and the thumb of your right hand pinches the root of the ring finger of your left hand. Purify your mind for a moment, gather your spiritual light, and look at the white at the tip of your nose. When it turns white, close your eyes and note the sun and moon.
Tiangang, which is the upper part of the "pin" between the two eyes and the third eye, must be used lightly.
Chen Changsheng's thoughts calmed down.
Connect the spirit and run the mind.
However, within a moment, a cyclone appeared at Chen Changsheng's Tiangang point, and gradually his thoughts seemed to come into contact with something.
Gradually forget yourself, as if you have entered the void.
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes fiercely.
He looked at himself in disbelief.
"I……"
"Did I succeed?"
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
So easy?
Something is wrong!
Logically speaking, such a method should be difficult to control, but he succeeded this time?
"Could it be that... I'm a genius?"
Chen Changsheng frowned, as if this was the only explanation.
He kept trying.
Just as he thought, in just a moment, he forgot about himself and entered that void state again.
Forgot the existence of the body.
"That's wrong!" Chen Changsheng suddenly reacted.
He is very familiar with this feeling!
"Isn't this similar to the state I will be in after my 'death'?"
I can't hear anything, I can't feel my body, I can only hear my inner voice.
"I'll just say it."
Chen Changsheng sighed and understood at this time.
It turns out he is not a genius.
It's just that he was already familiar with the feeling of entering the void of oblivion, that's why it was so easy.
As for why he couldn't practice spirituality in the "dead" state before, Chen Changsheng guessed that it might be because he didn't have the blessing of mental techniques.
However, what he didn't know was that in the blink of an eye, the sun had already set.
The last afterglow disappeared.
Chen Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the dilapidated courtyard, was in disarray. Just like last time, he turned into gravel and dissipated.
And all this happened in the blink of an eye.
He "died" again.
…
After Chen Changsheng’s ‘death’.
Slowly withdrawing from the state of refining the gods.
When he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't feel the existence of his body, he also knew that the time had come.
"The twentieth time..."
This is the twentieth time he has died.
"I don't know if I will wake up sooner after practicing, or whether I will live longer."
Chen Changsheng thought like this, and he felt that there might be a chance.
As a result, he continued to sink into the refining of gods, waiting for the next time he woke up.
Cultivation is his last resort.
If this couldn't solve the curse of the ephemera, then he didn't know what to do.
…
The moment Chen Changsheng's body dissipated.
One grain of gravel dissipated from his body was pulled by a force and failed to disappear with the wind.
This power comes from the thirsty pond in the dilapidated courtyard.
The gravel fell into the pond and slowly moved under the stone.
Under the stone, there was a mass of black energy surrounding it. The stone was like a sealed object, pressing on the mass of black energy, preventing it from escaping.
"roar……"
A slight roar came from under the stone.
Xie Sui seemed to be excited because he got this grain of gravel. The next moment, a steady stream of power poured out of the gravel and began to nourish Xie Sui, causing his strength to continue to grow.
But the suppressed evil spirit seemed to be able to absorb it bit by bit because the power of the gravel was too great.
It's a little slow, but it's better than nothing.
…
After nightfall, Qiuyuefang slowly calmed down.
until midnight.
A group of evil spirits appeared in the dilapidated courtyard.
The old city god stood in front of the dried up pool and looked at the stone pressing on the evil ghost.
He raised his hand and saw a golden light emitting from the stone. It was the power of incense and merit, specifically designed to defeat evil spirits.
The old city god looked at the solid seal, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It shouldn't be anything serious."
Hong Sancai said: "My subordinates checked it three times and did not dare to miss any loopholes."
"You are becoming more powerful now."
The old city god said: "The last Yin Ghost Envoy was not as careful as you."
Hong Sancai said humbly: "Your Majesty, City God, has given you too much praise."
"If you can be appreciated by Mr. Chen, you must be outstanding."
The old city god turned around and said: "Although the seal has been strengthened, the patrols in recent days need to come here more often to check, so as not to allow this evil ghost to take advantage of it."
"I'll wait for the order!"
"Um."
The old city god nodded and said, "Let's go back to the temple."
A group of underworld patrols followed the City God back to the City God's Temple.
The dilapidated courtyard became quiet again.
But under the boulder, a light suddenly flickered, and it was the grain of gravel from Chen Changsheng.
"Hehe..."
The suppressed evil spirit let out a bone-chilling laugh.
