Chapter 22: Method of reading

The first page is the title page. The blank is like snow. There are only eight characters in thick ink. It is very clear. No matter who opened the book, it is impossible to miss it.
Ordinary people see this scene, they will first carefully think about the true meaning hidden in it, and then continue to read with the recognition of these eight characters. Chen Changsheng is different. Instead of continuing to turn the next page, he got up and walked to the bookshelf, found several books related to washing the marrow, and quickly turned up, and found that the title pages of these books had the same eight characters before sitting back on the floor. Continue reading on the page, the mind falls on the book paper, and there is no other thing.
The text of "Principle Washing" is very concise. He read it carefully, and he had finished reading the first one in a short time. This article is about how to cultivate consciousness. He did not stop here to think or try, but continued to read backwards, and the content of the subsequent articles was gradually remembered by him-mainly about cultivating consciousness, looking for life stars and Introduce the three aspects of starlight into the body.
It only took him half an hour to finish reading, then he closed the pages of the book and began to close his eyes and meditate.
After more than ten rest hours, he opened his eyes and opened the pages again to repeat reading.
This time, he spent less time than the first time, and he read it again in only a few seconds.
Then he closed his eyes again and began to meditate on the contents of the book.
After counting interest, he opened his eyes and started reading again.
Repeating this several times, the sunlight shining from the window is still so blazing.
The last time he closed the pages of "Principle of Washing", he never opened it again.
He took out the pen and ink, did not turn the book, just started to record some of his thoughts while reading the book based on the memory in his mind.
Not many times, many words appeared on the paper.
At the moment when he finally put the pen on the inkstand, the entire content of "Principle Washing" was like a carved stone, remembered in his mind.
The most important thing is that this is not a mechanical memory, but a real understanding.
This is how Chen Changsheng studied.
This method is very special. It is the precious wealth he and his fellow brothers have obtained after more than ten years of hard study. Although the old temple in Xining Town is unremarkable, the collection of books in it is vast like a sea. To memorize so many books in a time, naturally needs some very special abilities.
Prior to this method of reading, a book did not need to be read thick first, then read thinly, and finally read thick again-in fact, most of the books in the old temple in Xining Town are still new as before, but the book The content of it has been completely remembered by their brothers and sisters.
The most important part of this method is the final note. Whether it is using notes on paper or still remembering it in my mind, it is a reorganization and confirmation of the entire reading process. Only after this step can we say that the reader has completely converted the content of the book into himself knowledge.
After reading The Theory of Washing the Pith, closing the pages of the book is naturally not the end. Learn from time to time, can be carried out in the mind and notebook, but what is the purpose of reading learning? It is practice. The purpose of his reading "The Theory of Washing the Marrow" is to be able to successfully practise marrow washing and begin to practice.
The first step in washing the marrow is to condense the consciousness-the consciousness is the spiritual power of mankind, which is explained in more popular language, that is: "thinking". As long as the thought is strong enough and specific enough, it will become a kind of power.
It sounds not difficult, as if you just desperately squeeze your brows into mountains and rivers, you can imagine yourself moving freely in the magnificent mountains and rivers, but this is not the case. Because the creation of Divine Consciousness depends entirely on the strength of the Divine Soul. The Divine Soul Strength is a pure talent. It has nothing to do with hard work. Even if an ordinary person tries harder, can his Divine Soul Strength be stronger than Tianfeng’s reincarnation?
Chen Changsheng has been preparing for practice for many years. More precisely, since his body changed at the age of ten, he has been silently waiting for this day to come. He knows that there are some problems with his meridians, which is what Master said I am sick-the nine-segment meridians cannot communicate, and his soul cannot be circulated in the body, but can only be forced to be expelled by sweat-although after ten years old, he was calmed down by the master with drugs, and the essence of the soul did not continue to be lost. But this is still a problem. Otherwise, the black sensory stone will not be able to perceive any consciousness in his body during the assessment in the Heavenly Taoist Academy.
If the soul is not strong enough, how to condense the mind?
Without consciousness, how to diverge?
How to take this first step of washing the marrow?
Chen Changsheng is not as lost as those who have just found himself hopeless to practice, let alone despair.
He firmly believes that countless years ago, there must be countless people with great wisdom who have solved this problem in advance, because there are many people like himself. In Taoist books he has read, there are often records similar to the way a frustrated person found a genius and became a peerless powerhouse, such as Wang Zhicai. But he was not prepared to do that, because his meridian problems did not see the same case in the books-Master said that there is no cure, that is life-he did not have extra time to fight destiny, and did not think I have a way to think of new geniuses in a short time. He likes to walk along the water. He thinks he can condense his consciousness according to the existing methods in the world and start to practice. He believes the wisdom of his predecessors more than anyone else.
"The book is read a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident."
All books related to washing the marrow have such striking eight words. Obviously, these eight words are the most critical part of washing the marrow. They are also the parts that the predecessors want to tell the descendants, but only to read. Which book is it?
Chen Changsheng looked at the dense cover of the back cover of "The Theory of Washing the Essence", looked at the titles of those who were in the middle of peace or swordsmanship, and shook his head. He did not expect to continue to live in Xining Town after coming to Kyoto. .
In places such as Tiandao Academy or Star Picking Academy, if students need to break through the level of marrow washing, some teachers naturally tell them that the most important thing for marrow washing is to read a lot of related books to strengthen the soul and thus condense in one fell swoop. The purpose of consciousness.
"Principle Washing" is only a general outline, the real need to learn is the 49 books on the back cover.
Of course, this does not mean that all students must read the forty-nine books a hundred times before they can cultivate the soul to the level of condensing the consciousness. Most of the time, they only need to go to the reader’s consciousness on the way. It has been condensed and completed the process.
This process is not completed as soon as possible. If you only read a book ten times, you will condense your consciousness, and that person must be the weakest cultivator of consciousness in history. Conversely, the more books you read, the more the number of passes, the more the soul is cultivated. The more powerful it is, it still hasn't broken through the thin layer of paper, and it is only when the consciousness is finally condensed that such consciousness is truly powerful.
If someone can read all the forty-nine books in the "Principle Washing" catalog one hundred times before condensing his consciousness, then he will be able to reach the most perfect state by using starlight to wash the pith. It's just that this situation is very rare. Except for those lucky people who have talented blood, basically no one can do it.
This is a very exciting process. As time goes by, as reading books and the number of passes increases, you can expect yourself to become a powerful genius of consciousness, but it is also very likely that in the end you will not be able to condense consciousness at all, and you can only be an ordinary person.
Hope and disappointment will continue to be magnified with the reading process, and eventually this will become a huge gamble. No one knows the result of the game, but when you finish reading these books, after reading a hundred times, the result will automatically appear.
The book is read a hundred times and its meaning is self-evident.
This is the meaning.
...
...
After reading "The Theory of Washing the Essence", Chen Changsheng didn't feel any changes in his body, he didn't feel the soul of the gods, and naturally he didn't feel the consciousness. He didn't immediately read the books on the back cover, but started to do it. Calculation.
He believes that his reading efficiency is higher than that of ordinary people, so he may not need to read it a hundred times, twenty or thirty times or just enough. Note that there are a total of forty-nine books, based on the average efficiency of his reading. In the first round, only a maximum of seven books can be read in one day. After reading the first one in seven days, even as time goes by, the speed gradually increases. To speed up, it will take at least half a year to read all these books. Does he have half a year? No. So what should I do? After coming to Kyoto, he felt some distress for the first time.
If you let others know his distress at this time, there must be different feelings, because in his calculations, it is obvious that he must condense all his forty-nine books before he begins to condense his mind, if he can condense God In other words, from the beginning to the end, even in the subconscious, he always thought he was a character of the same level as those of genius, or even higher.
No wonder when Tang Sanshi and he met him for the first time, he thought he was very arrogant-he seemed reticent and cautious, but in fact, his absolute self-confidence in many ways made him give An extremely arrogant feeling.
...
...
While thinking about it, suddenly the wind blew, and the shadow fell, covering the words on the back cover.
Chen Changsheng looked up and saw a pretty little girl, looking at herself with a sneer.
He was sitting on the floor at this time, and the little girl was naturally condescending.
The little girl was Shuang Er of the Eastern Royal General's Mansion. She looked at the text about marrow washing on the page next to Chen Changsheng and understood what he wanted to do. Late?"
Chen Changsheng said rightly: "There is a sequence of smells, and then they come first, and then they come first."
Shuanger didn't expect to hear such an answer, stunned, and then said contemptuously: "Forty-nine books, one hundred times, ten days, this is the number left by my young lady when she was four years old and condensed. First come? Where can you go first?"
After thinking for a long time, Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer.
