Chapter 14: Breakthrough and travel

In the past six months, Shi Xuan quietly went to see Fang and his mother and three ghosts, and they had a good time. Xu Tianqi kept his promise, and according to Shi Xuan’s order that day, he invited an old monk to come, pretending to surrender the evil spirits here, and then on behalf of the Xu family, he donated money to convert this house into a temple, dedicated to suppress evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Praying for the blessings, Pudu Bodhisattva, commonly known as Fang Yu, and the virgins under his seat, finally let the old monk hold a grand ceremony to consecrate the temple. In private, he writes various rumors of Purdue Bodhisattva into scripts and dramas, and spreads them around the city, and at the same time shoulders the task of collecting Shinto methods.
Because it was a reconstruction, the temple was completed in just over four months. When Shi Xuan went there, I saw Fang's mother and son using incense willingness to maintain their bodies, and the whole soul body lost a very strong gloomy smell. Even if they appeared in front of people at night, they would not be treated as ghosts for the first time. You can't practice with incense and willingness. Every day there are always two hours of smoke around your body. If there are golden light, auspicious clouds, and Qiongyin, it will look like a real god.
Fang was very grateful to Shi Xuan, he looked like a cow and a horse, but Shi Xuan didn't take it to heart. He just raised his hand, even just moved his mouth. Xu Tianqi arranged most of the things. Fang Shi and Xu Tianqi didn’t think so. Without Shi Xuan’s guidance on the mystery of the gods and the role of sacrifice, they couldn’t figure out how to arrange it even if they wanted to break their heads. Even before that, they didn’t understand why the world paid more attention to sacrifice. He thought it was a performance of filial piety to ancestors, and he did not associate sacrifices with temple prayers.
They think so, Shi Xuan can't stop him, he can't say that he just read a few notes collected by Old Taoist Taoist predecessors to understand, this is just the most basic knowledge in Taoism, and it doesn't involve specific Shinto. The problem of cultivation. If I really want to explain, maybe I have to show them some notes, which is very troublesome.
Of course, Shi Xuan didn't see Xu Tianqi. This guy didn't leave the house and practiced martial arts with peace of mind. He only came with many elders in the family on the day the temple was consecrated, and all the words to Shi Xuan were conveyed through the Fang family. Mu Jin was also about to cry when Xu Tianqi was dragging him to practice martial arts every day.
And Meng Yuqiong and Xu Jinyi left Xia'an Mansion more than two months ago and returned to Luojing. According to Xu Tianqi, these two girls, especially Xu Jinyi, have been secretly inquiring about Shi Xuan’s residence, but the original existence of Xu Lao Dao was only known to the veterans of the Xu family and the group of children who were sent to practice martial arts. It is possible to keep secrets. Those children are either not in the family now or they have been told by Xu Tianqi in private. Besides, they were originally secrets, so they could not find out the whereabouts of Shi Xuan when they left.
Shi Xuan was a little disappointed. Originally, he hoped that Xu Jinyi could come to the door after the news of the Xia family. He was not greedy for beauty, but just wanted to see if she had the talent, patience and perseverance, if any. Will be able to pass on the Taoism of Old Tao to her. By checking Du Bai’s memory fragments, Shi Xuan knew that Xu Laodao had always hoped that there would be someone who inherited his orthodoxy in the family, but he hadn’t found it, so he put out his heart. Now Shi Xuan is not practicing "Guizhen Jing". Naturally, I hope to find someone to pass on this tradition. It would be even better if it was from the Xu family.
Since Shi Xuan didn't come, Shi Xuan didn't force it. It could only show that she didn't have this opportunity. In the future, I will see someone with talent, patience and perseverance, and it will not be too late to pass on.
In the past six months, the Yaxing has led people to visit the yard one after another, but Shi Xuan is not short of money and is unwilling to spend time finding a place to live, so he has been dragging it, intending to sell it before he leaves.
In the dead of night, Shi Xuan sits on a futon cross-legged and five hearts facing the sky, carrying his internal Qi along the route of "The Twelve Rivers and Eight Lakes and Seventy-two Great Rivers in Yushu", passing through the twelve channels and odd meridians. The eight channels and seventy-one small meridians gradually condensed the internal energy, and then under the command of Shi Xuan’s will, it impacted on the node of the last meridian. Although the internal energy was like tide, the node was like a strong embankment. Blocked there and hit three times in a row without success.
Shi Xuan did not expect this last meridian to be so difficult to get through. Originally, after opening the 71st meridian, it is expected that the day after tomorrow will be achieved within half a month, but now one and a half months have passed, and this last one cannot be opened up. Department meridian. Fortunately, Shi Xuan's true method of refreshing the breeze, moon and illuminating the gods is still progressing greatly. Although he still has not touched the threshold of the peak of the soul stage, his soul strength is greatly strengthened, and he has made significant progress in controlling his emotions. Therefore, Shi Xuan is not disappointed now Shrouded in impatience.
Shi Xuan stopped his qi, calmed the emotions that had just surged, and then clarified his thoughts and entered concentration, planning to practice the homework of today's visualization before practicing qi.
The bright moon was shining, and the breeze was blowing, Shi Xuan felt that his soul became stronger and more ethereal in this time of moisturizing and removing impurities. He felt that the divine consciousness could control every corner of the soul, and everything was under his control.
Shi Xuan was suddenly alert, and his thoughts suddenly rose up, looking down at his soul from a downward attitude. Unexpectedly, he was a little irritable in his heart and almost lost his mind. In the visualization, if there is a feeling that he can control every corner or something similar, then It is a precursor to getting into trouble.
Fortunately, Shi Xuan always cooperated with the practice of visualization according to the method of realizing the gods and receiving thoughts according to the true method of the gods, so that he can be vigilant at the critical moment and get rid of his thoughts. After waiting for a while and calming his mind, Shi Xuan began to visualize again.
After visualizing it, Shi Xuan could not imagine that after this almost ecstasy, his soul was more transparent, and light appeared faintly. The peak of the soul-strengthening stage that he had never thought about, now seems to have touched some thresholds, no longer like before. No direction found.
After quitting from Dingzhong, Shi Xuan didn't immediately move his inner Qi, but got up and punched a set of small boxing techniques included in Xu Lao Dao's silk boxing. The fist wind converged, his footsteps moved, and a set of fist techniques came down. Shi Xuan sweated slightly on his head, but his spirit was exceptionally calm.
Shi Xuan saw that his body and mind had been adjusted to the best after the previous set of boxing techniques, so he sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, and regained his inner Qi. In this qi movement, Shi Xuan confined all the thoughts of opening the meridians, as if he had forgotten, but simply controlled the movement of internal qi.
Shi Xuan felt that his serious twelve meridians were twelve large rivers, and seventy-two large rivers continued to flow into the river, while the eight large lakes regulated the large rivers and the large rivers. If there is less water, the lake will enter the river; if there is more water in the river, the water will enter the lake; Between breathing, the body seemed to become a complete whole, but there was a shortcoming conspicuously there.
Naturally, internal qi accumulated and rushed towards the last meridian. Shi Xuan's newly strengthened soul can control this internal qi more easily than before, making it thinner and making it rush towards faster That node. Shi Xuan seemed to feel a boom in his body, and the accumulated internal energy had already rushed through the node, expanding and moisturizing the meridian. Shi Xuan endured the tingling sensation, let the inner qi pass through this meridian, and finally rushed back into the river. The real air flow in the body is endless, like an arm making a finger, chic and free.
Controlled the internal qi to calm down, but did not interrupt the natural circulation of internal qi. This is one of the signs of the day after tomorrow. The internal qi can circulate on its own, so you are not afraid of cold and heat, and you can naturally defend yourself when you encounter enemies. Under normal circumstances You don’t have to deliberately mobilize your internal energy when you make moves.
Shi Xuan opened his eyes, and only felt that the dimly swaying candlelight in front of him was warm and stable. It seemed that he could hear the wind blowing over the leaves, over the water, and over the clouds in the distance, and saw the whirlpool in the air. , Seeing the flying dust, I sensed the motion pictures everywhere in the small courtyard.
It's finally the day after tomorrow, and it's finally time to leave here.
Although it was time to leave here, Shi Xuan still had a lot of things and items to deal with, so he couldn't leave it for a while.
In the next few months, Shi Xuan was busy dealing with the debris in the yard and consolidating his cultivation base, because all he needed to take away were two sets of clothing (including one set on his body), silver, Guizhen scriptures, talisman seals, mirrors, and special products. The incense sticks and the utensils used in the practice and several Taoist notes, so there are a lot of other debris that needs to be processed, such as Xu Laodao’s clothes and personal belongings, Shi Xuan took them to his grave and burned them, and then worshipped a sacrifice. Fan, it's a goodbye.
During this period of time, all the materials of Fu Zhuan have been transformed into Fu Zhuan. Shi Xuan now draws more than 30 pieces of Fu Zhuan besides the sixteen pieces left by Xu Laodao. There are sixty-five pieces of seals painted by Du Bai. However, the Fu Zhuan was not put in the package. They were all sorted into the pockets, waist and arms of the sleeves of the Taoist robe for easy access.
Shi Xuan destroyed all the utensils used to boil the medicinal soup and filled the medicinal bath, and then took them to the outer suburbs and buried them with a soil-gathering technique. In short, the artifacts related to the Taoism are handled in this way. Shi Xuan handily gave the extra clothes to the beggar on the street.
In addition, when he brought people to see the yard again three months later, Shi Xuan did not bargain and sold it at the buyer's price of 270 taels of silver. Shi Xuan finally got two hundred and twenty-nine taels after the office deed and tax payment, plus the income from the Yashang. In this way, Shi Xuan had a total of two hundred thirty-five taels of silver and some copper plates on his body.
In this way, one day in March, Shi Xuan put a package on his back, following the crowded crowd, stepped out of the gate of Xia'an Mansion, left the place where he had stayed for more than a year, and embarked on his path of seeking immortality .
