"Supervisor of chores, Sawash Pavilion, newly promoted handyman Fang Yuan, this is your number plate!"
After Fazhou entered the Qingyang Sect, Fang Yuan was separated from the others. He was sent to a low mountain on the edge of the Qingyang Sect. In front of a slightly ancient palace, he saw a tall and thin man with a sinister appearance. The steward in Qingyi, whose surname is Sun, is an old man who has served in the Qingyang Sect for more than ten years. Now he also manages a dozen handymen like Fang Yuan.
He gave Fang Yuan a number of items, including a number plate specially made by the Qingyang Sect, a set of cyan robes made of unknown materials, which were worn by the servants, and two pieces that could be used by people. Qi training pills to strengthen the body, and a volume of Qi training methods with a somewhat damaged cover, and then led Fang Yuan through the mountains, forests and palaces, talking to him about the rules.
"The place to eat is here. There is one meal each day in the morning, noon and evening. The place where you receive your monthly salary is there. Remember to come on time at the end of each month. This is the place where the disciples of the Immortal Sect clean up their cultivation. You can't just do it casually. Breaking in, the back mountain is not allowed to enter, but there are many ferocious monsters, so if you don’t want to feed them with your own flesh and blood, it’s best not to enter casually... "
Manager Sun couldn't stop talking. At first, Fang Yuan listened patiently, but later he couldn't help but get distracted. He just looked at the Qingyang Sect's primary Qi Refining Heart Technique and the two pieces in his arms with joy. Qi Lian Dan, but Manager Sun actually didn't care whether Fang Yuan listened or not. He just kept talking in front of him, looking very excited. It seemed that as long as he talked happily, that was enough.
"Senior brother, can we also practice?"
When Manager Sun introduced Fang Yuan to the dog owned by the young lady selling bean curd in a small town ten miles west of Qingyang Sect, she had just given birth to a litter of puppies, one of which looked like a cat. , Fang Yuan couldn't help but asked.
"That's natural. Didn't I give you all the Qi training methods and Qi training pills?"
Steward Sun said with a smile: "We usually live in the deep mountains, where the wind is cold and the dew is heavy. If we don't have any cultivation at all, our bones will not be able to bear it. The Immortal Sect allows us handyman disciples to practice This is the meaning of some Qi training methods. Some handyman disciples are too lazy to practice. As a result, when it comes to rainy days, their joints will be in unbearable pain, so... "
"Then... Immortal sect servants can also become immortal sect disciples?"
Fang Yuan automatically blocked his next words and asked a key question with great expectation.
"Become a disciple of the Immortal Sect?"
Steward Sun was slightly startled and looked at Fang Yuan's cheerful expression. He was surprisingly silent for a while. After a while, he gently shook his head and said with a smile: "Our Qingyang Sect has this rule. It is said that three thousand years ago, one of the sect masters of Qingyang Sect was born as a handyman. Since then, this rule has been passed down. If the Yiza disciples can reach the third level of Qi training or above before the age of eighteen, then After passing the examination of the elders, you can officially join the Immortal Sect to practice... "
"Deacon Qiao really didn't lie to me..."
Fang Yuan suddenly felt confident and his expression became lighter.
Manager Sun seemed to want to say something, but seeing Fang Yuan's happy look, he held back and continued to lead the way, introducing Fang Yuan in detail, including the rules of the immortal sect, the customs, and the behavior of a certain elder. All his likes and dislikes were not left out, and he was taken directly to the back of a big hall in the mountains and in front of a dilapidated house built at the bottom of the hillside. He smiled and said: "You will live here from now on, and your duty is to sweep the people in front of the mountain." Ming Palace, no one lives there now, but we can’t delay this work, otherwise..."
"Junior brother understands!"
Fang Yuan readily agreed. He found that the first thing he had to learn to communicate with Manager Sun was to interrupt him.
"Oh, the sun is about to go down. Junior Brother Fang, you are new to the Immortal Sect. Why don't you buy me two pots of wine and cut half a pound of pig head meat? Firstly, Senior Brother will help you catch the wind, and secondly, I can continue to serve you. Let me introduce the customs and customs of our fairy sect..."
"Senior brother, there is no need to waste your time. I have to clean the house today. I will come back to invite you in a few days..."
"Haha, okay, this is what you said, junior brother, when the time comes, we must have a good time drinking and talking, and we won't go home until we are drunk..."
Fang Yuan was just being polite, but Manager Sun was overjoyed and talked a lot before reluctantly leaving.
Fang Yuan thanked him, and then entered the small room in front of him, only to see that it was very shabby and the decoration was very simple. There was only a couch, a table, a chair, and a cabinet. There was an oil lamp on the table. The cobwebs had formed and had not been lit for an unknown period of time. Fang Yuan took out a flint and rubbed it a few times, but it lit it. With the dim light, he cleaned the house before sitting down.
It is estimated that he will live here for a long time in the future. Fang Yuan doesn't mind that much. He comes from a poor family and his uncle and aunt's house in Taiyue City didn't live better than here. At least this house looks like it. It was relatively strong and would not leak. However, it was windy at night in the mountains. After sitting for a while, he felt a little chilly all over his body, so he quickly got up and closed the window.
"Guanshi Sun is right. The cold wind and heavy dew in the mountains are really unbearable for ordinary people!"
He thought to himself, then his eyes fell on the book of Qi Training and Heart Methods on the table, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"Then start practicing and resist the cold!"
Fang Yuan was no stranger to the art of cultivating the mind, and even the essentials of meditating and breathing. He had asked Mr. Zhu for advice a long time ago. However, due to the sect rules, Mr. Zhu could not teach him the art of practicing qi. Now he is also It was my first time to come into contact with this mysterious Qi training method!
However, the principles were not unfamiliar to him, as they had already been taught in the Fairy Hall classes.
The so-called practice is to breathe in the heaven and earth, improve one's own physique, and master the power between heaven and earth step by step.
The path of spiritual practice is divided into six realms, namely Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Yuanying, spiritual transformation, and Mahayana.
This first step of Qi training is a process of introducing spiritual energy into the body and improving one's physical constitution. To achieve this goal, one must first feel the ubiquitous yet elusive spiritual energy in the world. , regarding the mental method, this point is introduced clearly, and the method of guiding the breath and the method of circulating the spiritual energy in the body are written clearly and in detail.
Fang Yuan had a good memory. He only read it a few times before memorizing the first Qi Guiding Technique. Then he went through it carefully in his mind. After confirming that he had understood everything, he sat cross-legged on the bed and adjusted He took a breath and tried to empty his mind.
This is not easy to do, as I often have distracting thoughts, and my mind is like a wild horse, out of my control.
However, Fang Yuan was very perseverant and patient. He knew that this matter could not be rushed. If it failed the first time, he would try a second time.
The first day after joining Qingyang Sect passed by repeated and tireless attempts. Fang Yuan didn't know how many times he failed, and he didn't even remember whether he succeeded until the second day. Waking up to the chirping of birds and insects, he realized that he had fallen asleep unknowingly, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. Practicing practice is indeed not an easy task!
If he cannot reach the state of "concentrating his mind, calming his energy, and being open-minded" as mentioned in the Qi Training Method, it is naturally impossible to sense the aura of heaven and earth through the method of guiding the breath. He has no choice but to get up and do things for the time being. Continue in the evening.
In this way, Fang Yuan started his life in Xianmen silently. During the day, he needed to clean the large Changming Hall. It was said to be one hall, but in fact it had nineteen rooms in four compartments, in addition to There are statues of gods in the main hall, scripture storage pavilions in the side halls, etc., which are swept, cleaned, and even repaired roof tiles every day. After this day's work, I often have backache and exhaustion.
But what he was looking forward to most was the evening practice.
Although this Qi training method was extremely difficult at first, he persisted.
In the past few days, he had not been able to control his mind, sense the existence of spiritual energy, and did not take the Qi training pills distributed by Xianmen to strengthen his physique, because he had heard Mr. Zhu say that practicing a way, comprehending the world, meditating and practicing Qi, That's the essence.
And elixirs, no matter how good they are, are only auxiliary means after all. He doesn't want to rely on the power of elixirs as soon as he enters the path of cultivation.
Therefore, I made up my mind that I would never take any pills until I could cultivate the first spiritual energy!
With this perseverance, Fang Yuan spent seven or eight consecutive days meditating and exhaling. Even though he could not meet the requirements of the Qi training method at the beginning, he persisted and finally on the ninth One night, he unintentionally entered into an extremely mysterious state. He seemed to have disappeared and merged into the world, like floating in the ocean...
At this time, he was still breathing in and out according to the breathing method in the Qi Training Method. Unconsciously, it seemed as if something was coming out of nothing. Faintly, there seemed to be something indescribable between heaven and earth. The elusive power entered his body. The cold wind was heavy in the mountains, but he felt a warmth, like a small snake swimming inside his body, gradually making him forget the cold wind around him.
That night, Fang Yuan sat down all night. When his mind returned, he opened his eyes and saw the room full of sunshine!
"I... I cultivated the first spiritual energy?"
When he realized the changes that had happened to him, Fang Yuan even couldn't believe it.
"I finally embarked on the path of spiritual practice?"
He hurriedly looked inside according to the instructions in his heart, and sensed the almost undetectable thin spiritual energy in his body, and he immediately laughed.
Smiling very contentedly!
