Due to exhaustion, Ji Yuan fell asleep leaning on the stone table without realizing it. During his rest, his body was like a tree sprouting branches in spring, with his bones, meridians, and internal organs all stretching. The excess spiritual energy beyond the load also dissipated from his body in the form of smoke, allowing Ji Yuan to return to comfort.
"Mr. Ji, I brought you the book!"
A faint sound was heard outside the courtyard. Ji Yuan, who was half asleep and half awake, squinted his eyes and looked towards the direction of the courtyard gate.
"Liu Rixun, right? Please come in. I am a little tired so I will not come out to open the door."
Anyway, they are all ghost bodies, so there is no difference between entering and leaving. Moreover, Ji Yuan feels that he and "Lao Liu" have become familiar with each other.
Outside the courtyard, two day patrols and four ghost messengers holding large black umbrellas looked at each other, then slowed down their pace and passed through the gate of Ju'an Pavilion. The City God had personally ordered that the ghost messengers of this county must not disturb the tranquility of Ju'an Pavilion and must be respectful to the owner of the pavilion.
Ji Yuan sat up and looked at the ghost messengers who entered the courtyard. There were so many of them!
Looking at the sun in the sky, the two day patrols should have some ability in their job, and the rest is probably due to the big umbrella.
The four Yincha under the umbrella at the back were carrying a bamboo box on their backs. As they came in, the courtyard became noticeably colder.
"Mr. Ji, this is the book that the City God ordered us to bring. Where do you think it should be placed?"
Ji Yuan was a little impatient and pointed at the edge of the stone table.
“Just put it here.”
However, these book boxes and books were brought in through the door by these evil spirits, so they can't be non-physical, right
Fortunately, it turned out that Ji Yuan was worrying too much. The four ghost messengers took off the book boxes on their backs, and the two day patrolmen reached under the umbrella canopy, grabbed the book box and gently placed it on the table.
Ji Yuan could hear the sound of the book box hitting the ground when it was put down. It was definitely a sound that only real objects would make. It must have been a method similar to the ghost moving method rumored in his previous life.
"Mr. Ji, the book has been delivered. I will take my leave now!"
"Uh ok, thank you all!"
Ji Yuan shifted his attention away from the book and politely bowed to the group of ghost messengers. The other party naturally did not dare to be negligent and returned the greeting, then walked out through the door.
After all, they are all ghosts, and even Ren Jiyuan has no intention of being polite and keeping them.
After all the evil spirits had left, Ji Yuan relaxed and looked at the four boxes of books. He immediately went over and carried one of the boxes to the stone table.
It was a little heavy in the hand, but Ji Yuan felt that it didn't have enough weight. Such a large bamboo bookcase should be very heavy if filled with books.
When I opened the book box, I didn't see the piles of books as I had imagined in my blurry vision, but some cylindrical objects.
Just reach out and touch it and you will have a clear idea in your mind.
"Bamboo slips!"
Ji Yuan took out one of the bamboo slips, weighed it in his hand, and then slowly unfolded it.
"The old city god is really thoughtful!"
These bamboo slips are different from ordinary books written with a brush. The words on them are all engraved. Ji Yuan can naturally "read" the contents by gently stroking the bamboo slips with his fingers.
Regardless of whether the old city god did it intentionally or unintentionally, Ji Yuan still felt grateful.
'It seems that there is no need to find someone to help!'
. . .
It was already late at night, but Ji Yuan had no desire to sleep.
As a person whose vision is almost the same during the day and at night, there is naturally no need to light candles. From the afternoon till now, Ji Yuan has been "reading" books in the yard.
Sometimes he held the bamboo slips, and sometimes he spread them out on the stone table and used his index finger to carefully trace each word.
The characters engraved on the bamboo slips were very thin and small, so each slip could accommodate a lot of words. Ji Yuan read very slowly and carefully.
The content inside is a field that Ji Yuan has never touched before, and it is content that any young person in the technological age would be extremely envious of.
Ji Yuan was actually so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"I am such a genius, I can understand things so well!!"
Ji Yuan discovered that he could understand those obscure languages.
When the green spiritual energy absorbed last time was flowing through his body, he could also feel the so-called meridians and acupoints clearly. What he lacked was only the names and understanding of these acupoints and meridians, which he could learn from books.
Ji Yuan read very slowly, not wanting to get any misunderstandings. When he read the later paragraphs, he would keep flipping back to the earlier ones to understand them.
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Desolations and Six Directions, feel the agility of all things in the mountains, rivers, and marshes, draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cleanse yourself and refine yourself to practice the truth!
The book in Ji Yuan's hand is a Qi Guiding Technique. The name is very simple and it is indeed a very common book. In the cultivation world, it is a very common basic refining technique. There are many of the same type, and there are also more advanced ones that are specifically for Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
But for ordinary people and even the powerful people in the world, this wonderful book is still out of reach.
For Ji Yuan, this is also the most precious treasure, and it is the enlightenment book that will guide him into spiritual practice!
Since we have come to this world, who doesn’t want to be different? Who doesn’t want to live long and healthy life
'It turns out that the scenery of mountains and rivers in my body that I saw for the first time in the inn was not because I was special, but because it was a strange sight that people who receive spiritual energy for the first time have a chance to see.'
The inner scenes seen by each person will be different. For example, some people see meridians like rivers, while others see raging flames. It is related to one's own aptitude and state of mind.
There are not many people who can see this kind of vision in the body, and they are often looked up to by their teachers and have higher expectations of them. Although it is not absolute, the achievements of such people are often more likely to be expected.
"I am a genius after all!"
Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this, but then the smile disappeared after a few seconds, because the book said that the purer the strange scenery you see, the better, such as seeing snow and blazing fire, which are all good, and the more complicated it is, the worse it is.
Ji Yuan thought about it and felt like he saw the beautiful scenery of the world, mountains and rivers. This was too complicated...
Forget it, don’t think about it!
Ji Yuan studied the Qi Guiding Art until late at night and had almost completely understood its contents. In the book boxes, apart from a volume of "Essence of Magic Techniques" which summarized some common magic techniques and included several minor spells, there were no other books on cultivation. The remaining bamboo slips contained some martial arts secrets and chess manuals.
"Try it!"
Muttering to himself, Ji Yuan sat up straight on the stone bench and relaxed his body and mind.
There is a big world outside and a small world inside the body. From the tiny meridians and acupoints to the internal organs, they all correspond to the mysteries of yin and yang, the five elements, the stars in the sky, etc. The so-called cultivation is to comprehend the vastness of the world and grasp the power of the universe.
Ji Yuan breathed in and out slowly, with the breath entering his chest and abdomen, rolling inside his body and extending to his limbs and bones. His consciousness was vague, as if it was flowing in his body with the breath, and as if it was exhaled out of his body with the breath and spreading to the vast world around him, in this way he felt the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The secret method of "Guiding Qi" creates heaven and earth!
No matter what kind of spell one is practicing, no matter if it is in the fairyland or in the ordinary mountains, no matter how old or young one is, how many people are stuck at this first level!
Ji Yuan was getting into the groove without realizing it, and didn't feel the difficulty of this level at all.
Ji Yuan felt that the feeling at this moment was actually very close to the magical feeling when he first received spiritual energy into his body, except that the infinitely expanding body and the world at that time were the internal scenes of the body, while the spread of the flow of consciousness at this moment was the transformation into the real scene.
It seems to be there and not there, and it seems to be everywhere. The so-called spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth can be "seen" by Ji Yuan.
It was as if he turned into a magnet in the blink of an eye. The spiritual energy was attracted and gathered together, finally gathering around Ji Yuan, and seeping into his body through his skin.
There was no numbness, itchiness or soreness, just like the spring rain falling on the earth, moistening everything silently, bringing Ji Yuan only comfort and freshness.
The amount was not as large as the previous time when he drew in the spiritual energy with the needle, but it was extremely comfortable and fitting, and even purer. Ji Yuan vaguely felt that this was the right way to absorb spiritual energy!
However, the existence of the Zhizi style named by Ji Yuan himself gave Ji Yuan the confidence to improve the efficiency of his practice.
