Chen Changsheng successfully embarked on the path of cultivation, without any difficulties that are common in stories. If you let others know, you will definitely be puzzled, but he himself doesn't think there is anything, especially after confirming what the Master asked him to recite the three thousand Taoism.
Of course, this is something to be happy about after all... If you can concentrate, you can fix the stars; if you can fix the stars, you can guide the starlight to wash your marrow; You, the good fortune of tomorrow and the earth, if you can communicate with the secluded, you can gather stars in your body, and you will be free from all diseases. Guilt, or then there is no need to change fate against the sky
Yes, for Chen Changsheng, the purpose of practice is always so clear, and there has never been any deviation. Or you can pursue other things along the way of practice, such as seeing some scenery that ordinary people can't see, experiencing some feelings that ordinary people can't understand, and giving back to those people the humiliation they have suffered. Not important, what matters is the final purpose.
It's just that just after concentrating, not even the first step in the practice, he began to think about the hidden realm of the gods that only existed in legends. Even Chen Changsheng himself knew that this was a bit too much thinking, and it would be easy to be misunderstood if he said it. Joke, luckily he'd never tell anyone.
Compared with his peers, Chen Changsheng was relatively taciturn and calmer in dealing with things, so when he was in Xining Town, he was often thought to be three or four years older than his real age by the people in the town. He knew very well that the most important reason why he was able to concentrate and succeed day and night was because his master had laid the foundation and prepared him well since he was a child, but this definitely did not mean that he surpassed a true genius like Xu Yourong.
The next morning he still got up at 5:00, washed up and had a meal. What happened last night did not have any impact on his work and rest. Only the slightly tired eyes proved that he was not as calm as he appeared. The musty smell in the building has not been eliminated, but he is really happy.
The Orthodox Academy was still bustling. The craftsmen and handymen were busy repairing and cleaning the main building. The library was still quiet. Because of his request, no one came to disturb him to continue his practice.
Marrow washing is the first level of practice, which can be briefly divided into three steps. Gathering the spiritual consciousness is the first step and the prerequisite for all. The second step is to find the star of life. Chen Changsheng wasn't too worried about this mysterious-sounding step. What he was really worried about was the third step, the introduction of starlight into the body to wash the marrow... Only then would he be able to finally determine how his physical problems would affect him. .

The so-called practice is to borrow the power of heaven and earth as human power. After the Heavenly Book came into the world, human beings began to practice, developed countless methods of practice, and tried countless methods. Some practice methods absorb the fire of heaven, and some practice methods get close to nature and absorb the power of the fields. Finally, with the official establishment of the state religion , also because countless years of human practice finally proved that human practice gradually began to be witnessed by the stars.
The hot and fiery magma in the crater can indeed transform the true energy in the human body, helping practitioners become extremely powerful, and the fresh power in the field can also be used by practitioners, but all these sources of energy are not as good as stars .
The stars are in the night sky, their positions are eternal, and they shine on the mainland with a solemn attitude. People living on the ground can see infinite starlight as long as they look up. From their infancy to their old age, those stars have always accompanied them quietly. For the mainland and the people living here, the stars are light, coordinates, energy, and time: because of eternity.
Humans finally chose to turn starlight into true energy, which has little to do with these literary and artistic descriptions. The fundamental reason is that starlight is the purest source of energy in this world, without any impurities, and it is stronger than sunlight, earth fire, etc. Much milder.
Monster races can also absorb starlight, and their physique is special, they don't need any practice skills, they can directly incorporate starlight into their bodies and turn it into their power, so all monster races that can incarnate are always powerful.
Compared with the monster race, human beings cannot directly absorb starlight, or in other words, the efficiency of directly absorbing starlight is too low. Therefore, human beings creatively invented a practice method, and it was from that day that human beings began to dominate the continent. the way.
—Light up the life star.
There are countless stars in the night sky, as vast as the sea, it is difficult to count, and the number is far greater than the number of human beings. If a practitioner among human beings wants to cleanse his marrow, he needs to find his own star among the billions of stars. The star, that is the star of life.
No one can explain, what is the principle of the fate star, why the star will form an unbreakable relationship with you, why the star can echo with the human beings across countless distances, even the greatest scholar in the history of the state religion Unable to explain.
…
…
Everyone has their own star. But only those who successfully condense their spiritual consciousness can find their own star, form an indescribable connection, and finally light up that star with their own spiritual consciousness.
There are countless stars in the night sky, as long as you can spread your spiritual consciousness, you can always find your own star, and this relationship is like many relationships, it is absolutely exclusive, as long as you establish contact with your own star, there will be no more People can take it away.
Then there is a question, what kind of star is most suitable as the life star of a practitioner
There is basically a consensus in the mainland now that the farther the fate star is, the better. Because countless generations of scholars of the state religion have conducted follow-up surveys on countless practitioners, and after exhaustive data collection and statistics, it is confirmed that this inference is absolutely correct.
But why
If the practitioner directly absorbs the energy of the star, shouldn't the star be as close to the ground as possible
In order to explain this phenomenon, Chinese scholars have established a model backwards from the objective reality. In this model, practitioners do not directly absorb the energy of the life star, but use the night sky as a wall to light up the life star. The star nailed a nail on this wall, thus tied a thread between itself and the night sky, and finally used this thread to swing back and forth, absorbing the elegant energy of the stars in the night sky.
In this model, the invisible thread is like a wet cotton thread, and the starlight in the night sky is like catkins flying all over the sky in late spring. The thread floats slowly in the spring breeze, and it can be dipped in More and more willow catkins finally fell into the hands of the lineman. If the line was long enough, from the tallest building in the imperial palace to the top of Tianshu Mausoleum, the catkins in the entire capital could be searched clean.
Tungus, a scholar of the Mozu University, severely criticized this theory of the state religion, thinking that it was an uneconomical and purely false inference. In this regard, the Pope of that generation mercilessly fought back, saying: Only inferences that can be established are the inferences closest to the truth.
Next, the demon scholar sent a letter to the entire continent, in which he asked: Where is that thread
If there is really a line between the practitioner and the star, then the theory of the state religion can be established, because through the observation of nature, it can be easily found that the longer the line, the greater the amplitude, and the greater the energy that can be generated naturally , as Liu Xu said earlier.
The problem is, no one ever sees that thread.
The Pope gave a brief answer to this question in Kyoto: "Since there is a connection between the star of fate and the practitioner, there must be a thread between the two. We can't see it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Tungus, a scholar of the Demon Sect, sent another letter to the whole continent, saying: "If you can't reach it, it has no effect on the objective world. So whether such a thread exists or not is meaningless to us, so it should be a non-contact." existing."
After thinking about it for several months, His Excellency the Pope gave the most famous answer to this fundamental assertion.
"That thread is fate."
Yes.
The unexplainable connection is fate.
The stars in the night sky reflect the fate of all beings in the world.
…

No one taught Chen Changsheng how to choose his life star. His master must have known it, but he never said it.
Of course, he knew what the lord Pope said, that there will be three thousand volumes in the Daoist collection, and there will be no such story that will go down in history.
Since the connection with the fate star is fate, he behaved very cautiously—after he was ten years old, these two words were what he cared most about.
From early morning to dusk, he has been familiar with the process of the divergence of divine consciousness. He doesn't know how much of the divine soul remains after the change at the age of ten, but he is a little relieved that the process of divine consciousness divergence is the same as that in the book. There is not much difference in writing.
With his eyes closed, he let his consciousness come out of the sea of consciousness, and drifted in the quiet library. He obviously didn't look at it, but the surrounding environment vaguely appeared in his mind, which was a little blurry, and the light was a little psychedelic. That is a brand new perception.
After night fell, he was not like other beginners who were still obsessed with the perception of the outside world with his spiritual sense, without the slightest nostalgia. The tiniest fluff of the nocturnal bird, the tiniest water vapor particle passing through the fading clouds, passing through the flocculation of the extremely cold wind, finally came among the countless bright spots of light.
That is the ocean of stars.
