110. The mind is used by the gods, and there is no way to live without madness.
110. The heavenly mind is used, and you will not survive without being crazy
Nangong Yue subconsciously replied: "I heard it all, and I remember it." When she came to her senses, Wu Jiaming had already hung up the phone. Only then did she remember that Wu Jiaming did not say who the master who secretly helped and guided her was. She was about to call her back to ask, but Bi Ran had already come out to call her to the restaurant for a midnight snack, so she had to give up for a while...
The little rabbit monster was still sitting at the same table with Cheng Tianle to eat. The little rabbit monster was a little uneasy, and the string of fragrant sandalwood beads on her wrist had been quietly put away. Cheng Tianle saw it and just smiled secretly. The girl finally really listened to the advice.
...
The general manager Cheng Tianle did not spend the night in the trading department today, and did not eat a few bites of midnight snacks, so he drove back to the apartment. After washing and bathing, it happened to be midnight. He sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting his body, breathing, and entering the country, following the instructions of the magic formula.
This is the first time he used the seven-staff posture in his practice to show the appearance of five hearts facing the sky. His left foot was placed on his right thigh, his right foot was crossed on his left thigh, and his shoulders were lowered, and his back was lifted, and his seat was straight and peaceful. This kind of sitting posture is not easy, and it takes a period of exercise. Even if someone has better joint flexibility and can do it, it is difficult to have a smooth blood vessel, relaxed and natural from the beginning.
It was difficult for Cheng Tianle to sit cross-legged before, but after practicing body refining, the sensing and control of skeletal muscles was already quite subtle, and now it is natural to achieve success. If you are an ordinary human cultivator, you may need to exercise your body in the first step of your cultivation. However, demon cultivators are different. They need to condense the mysterious pill and turn into human form to learn these.
In terms of this set of magic tricks, it was too early for Cheng Tianle to practice so hard, because he had not passed the demon realm and had not achieved the mysterious elixir. But he had an advantage that other demon cultivators did not have, that is, he did not need to transform into a human form at all. It would be fine if he used the meditation posture mentioned in the third magic trick in advance. Today, he is practicing the way to condense the nature of the material, and the soul senses the three Hetian jade seed materials in his hand.
How to sense the nature of objects? In fact, ordinary people can also try it, but it is not as clear as in the state of concentration. Practicing this path is actually a synesthesia method, using the soul to experience the feeling of an object. Do objects without life also have feelings? Whether there is, people's minds need to be condensed into it, just like this object's mind and spirit. The specific "saurus" is still the external feeling of the soul, but what is sensed is no longer the surrounding world, but the instrument and object, as if the object becomes itself.
Cheng Tianle, who was sitting upright, also formed a strange handprint. His left hand was placed on his left leg, his palm was spreading upward, and three jade materials were held in the palm of his hand, and his middle finger and ring finger were slightly raised upward, forming a curve with the palm of his hand; and the back of his right hand was naturally placed on his right knee, with the palm leaning towards the front, and his index finger and thumb fingers were gently pinched together, and the middle finger, ring finger, and little fingers were spread out in sequence like petals.
This is a Buddhist handprint of "listening to the Dharma". If you observe carefully in some temples, you can still see this shape of Buddha statue. Cheng Tianle was not clear. The great monster who left this set of magic tricks once transformed into a monk, so the method of synesthesia with objects he taught also borrowed Buddhist handprints.
The world seemed to have disappeared, Cheng Tianle was like turning into a stone, and the stone had no facial features, so naturally it could not feel the world. Then the next moment, the world appeared again, because the stone also had a mind, which was Cheng Tianle's mind. But Cheng Tianle saw another scene - the strange inner scene of the soul: he was buried deep in the mountains, feeling the changes in the cycle of the sun and the moon, and the movement of the mountain and the erosion of the wind and rain gradually exposed from the depths of the rock layer. Suddenly one day, a thunder blew up and the mountain torrent broke out, and the huge rock where he was located fell from the cliff and fell to pieces!
Cheng Tianle suddenly lied to Ding in the dark, and opened his mouth and gasped loudly, his whole body was soaked with cold sweat. The rock fell from a cliff in the mountain torrent just now, and the feeling of falling to pieces was really real, just like he was also thrown to pieces. This state of concentration was so terrible!
Practicing the method of synesthesia is just from the perspective of the bystander and using his own mind to experience the nature of objects. However, Cheng Tianle's current state of concentration is not controlled and he actually enters such a scene. This happened naturally inexplicably, and a word appeared in his mind - the Demon Realm Tribulation.
After practicing for so long, the next test I will face has finally arrived. The biggest interference of the "Demon Realm" on cultivation is that illusions arise in the state of concentration, and they are not transferred by human will. What should come will always come, but maybe it is something. It has a subtle connection with the things that are held by human mind and the world around it.
Cheng Tianle knew it well and knew that he was trying to condense the physical nature of these three pieces of jade materials today, but accidentally became an opportunity to trigger the disaster in the Demon Realm. This level is inevitable. You have to pass this threshold before you can talk about the next level.
In the darkness, Cheng Tianle adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind, but did not give up his practice just now. He entered the state of concentration and practiced his skills again. The demonic state is not only seen by the soul, it is the scene experienced in the state of concentration. He fell from a high cliff, smashed to pieces, and was washed away by mountain torrents, constantly rolling down, sometimes bumping on the rocks, sometimes rolling in the torrents.
Most people will not experience this state of concentration. This is a magical refining technique. Stones do not require breathing, but if they are replaced by a person's mental sensing, as long as their thoughts are involved, the body in the state of concentration will suffocate. Spiritual sensing can sometimes hurt the body. At the very least, the state of concentration is dispersed and unable to practice, and at the worst, the internal injury will be inexplicably injured.
The rolling down of rocks is a long process. It stays in the cracks of rocks and walks in the torrents. The stone that Cheng Tianle's mind has become the size of a fist, and has quietly spent hundreds of years in a valley. The valley gradually dried up and turned into a Gobi. Many years later, a heavy rain turned the Gobi into a swamp. The silt in the swamp was washed away, and it was swept into a river, rolled in the torrent, and finally fell from a waterfall.
When falling into the deep pool, the impact force of the water surface caused the stone to eventually crack into three petals, and then lying at the bottom of the pool for many years... When the water flow impacted, the three stones would collide with the gravel next to it, and the surface became smooth. Later, the pool dried up, the waterfall above disappeared, becoming a deep valley in the mountains, and the Hetian jade seed material was born in this way.
Hetian jade materials have the difference between "mountain materials" and "seed materials". Mountain materials are directly mined in mountain rock strata, while seed materials are often called river materials. After being sharpened by nature and washed by thousands of years of wind and rain, they are generally smaller in size. What’s strange is that as a stone, mountain materials and seed materials are completely the same material and composition, and they first came from the same place, but the hardness of the seed materials is higher than that of mountain materials and larger than that of mountain materials.
Geologically, the hardest part of the rock can be preserved in the erosion and refining of history. But on the other hand, it is difficult to explain, that is, the experience of the artifact is like the cultivation of humans, and some characteristics have changed in this process.
Why did Cheng Tianle just pick up these three pieces of jade in a lot of jade? It was because these three pieces of jade in a good and the same stone was divided into three petals. Among all the jade materials he saw on that day, no matter whether they were of good or bad or at a high price, he could never find three such stones. Cheng Tianle just felt moved at that time and picked them up. At this moment, he practiced the method of synesthesizing with objects in the state of concentration, and finally understood what was going on. No wonder he felt that these three pieces of jade were one in such a large pile of jade.
After finishing the work, it took him a long time to get rid of the immersion state of terrifying impact. Although it was only two short hours, he was struggling in the torrent!
In theory, he was just experiencing the soul, and what he saw was just an illusion of the stone refracting into the soul, but it really exhausted his spirit. He was so tired that he could hardly even lift his arms up. He let go of his body and lay on the bed, sleeping until noon before getting up to eat. Looking at the three pieces of jade materials placed beside the pillow, he was still lying there quietly, but there was a little more warm air, as if it was Cheng Tianle's own breath again.
This weapon refining technique is indeed not something Cheng Tianle can master at the current cultivation level. He just used it to condense the soul and sense the physical nature, but it triggered such a violent demonic disaster. This is an opportunity, which means that his spiritual cultivation has reached the point. But opportunity may not be a blessing. If he is not careful in practicing, he will worry about "being into a demon".
There is a saying in art that says, "If you don't have crazy devils, you won't survive"; the same is true for practicing magic tricks. You cannot condense the mysterious pill without going through the demon realm.
If the demon realm disaster has not arrived, Cheng Tianle can still choose by himself, just be a "expert" with low cultivation and live his free life. But it has accidentally triggered the demon realm, and it is unlikely that he will be free again. From now on, as soon as he enters the state of meditation, illusions will arise and difficult to distinguish, but not only the sensing of those stones.
Practicing qigong is no longer a kind of enjoyment but a kind of tempering. There are always various demonic realms coming. However, he is not living in seclusion in the mountains and fields, but he is still a person in the world. In addition to practicing, he also has to be the general manager of the trading department. When practicing, he is disturbed by the demon realm. When he does not practice martial arts, he will naturally think about relaxing his body and mind.
Last time I went shopping, I didn’t leave any contact information for Luo Luo and the others, and I don’t know which heartstring touched. Cheng Tianle thought of that little Su again and thought that the girl was very cute. He is already twenty-six years old this year and has some small achievements in his career. It is natural and normal to have ideas on personal relationship issues. So he thought about Wu Jiaming if he could ask her again. When he was thinking this way, Wu Jiaming took the initiative to call. It turned out that Miss Luo Luo wanted to ask him again.
Cheng Tianle said happily: "Okay! Don't forget to make an appointment with Xiao Su. If you have any good arrangements, just go and play. I trust you."
