Chapter 8 First Practice
"If you want to practice meditation, you first need to get yourself into a state of concentration through meditation. This is not difficult, but it takes a while for most people."
"When you enter a state of trance, you will feel the energy around you, but don't worry about it. That is the energy of our world that cannot be absorbed. I will act as your guide and capture a pure energy to give to you.
You, what you have to do is to use your own thoughts to guide this pure energy into your body, and try every means to retain it and not let it spill out."
"The power of thoughts is very important. If your thoughts are not enough to activate energy, then you have no talent for cultivation."
"But as long as your body successfully absorbs the first energy, your path to spiritual practice will be open."
Lin Yue's words rang in Li Yi's ears.
At this moment, Li Yi sat with his eyes closed, trying to get himself into concentration.
Lin Yue pointed out Li Yi's sitting posture, breathing, and some meditation details to help him get into the state faster.
As time passes little by little.
Li Yi's body gradually lost consciousness. His consciousness seemed to be plunged into darkness, as if he was about to be swallowed by the abyss. A helpless feeling of fear surged into his heart. This feeling made him wake up instantly and directly
Exited the state of meditation.
"Are you scared?" Lin Yue looked at him with a smile.
Li Yi wiped his forehead and found that there was no cold sweat, but at this moment he still had lingering fears: "I feel like my consciousness is going to be swallowed by darkness, and I will never wake up again."
"Don't be afraid. This is a normal feeling. Your consciousness has been integrated with your body for twenty years. Now you have to give up your body and move alone. It is normal to feel fear. The reason why there is darkness is because your consciousness has escaped from
In addition to the influence of the five senses of the body, just imagine that one day you wake up from sleep and can't move your body, can't hear with your ears, and can't open your eyes, would you be scared?" Lin Yue explained patiently.
"What you have to do is to overcome this fear, adapt to that feeling, and then continue to be silent. As long as you cross that level, your consciousness will generate a new perception on its own. That perception is not vision or hearing, it is a
A special existence."
"I know, I'll try again." Li Yi nodded, then closed his eyes again.
The second time he entered samadhi, perhaps because he spent more time to overcome the fear caused by the first practice.
This time, Li Yi's consciousness fell into darkness again, and the feeling of fear came again.
Only this time, he didn't fight against this fear, but allowed it to wrap around his body.
However, his consciousness seemed to be trapped in a darkness, with no direction and no time, like a cage.
soon.
Li Yi trembled and woke up again, and directly exited the state of meditation.
"Failed again?" Lin Yue asked.
Li Yi nodded: "My consciousness is trapped in darkness, and an instinct makes me want to escape."
"This is your brain determining whether your body is dead, so your consciousness is forcibly recalled. But don't worry, the human body is very adaptable. If you do it a few times, your brain will
Understand that the state just now was not death, and such a situation will not happen in the future."
"Practice is not such a simple thing. During this period, you have to overcome various mental states, and you also need to exercise repeatedly to make your body and mind adapt to that feeling. Some people say that there is great horror in practice. This is right, but if you can't even do this,
If you can't get over it, then I advise you to give up practicing."
Lin Yue said seriously.
"I understand, I'll try again." Li Yi took a deep breath and said.
Lin Yue said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take your time, there is plenty of time."
Li Yi nodded.
Although he didn't say anything, he knew very well that he didn't have much time to be stable, and trouble would soon come to his door. Before that, he had to step into practice and determine whether the half of the sword coin in his hand was a rare object.
.
Continue to enter meditation
I don't know how long it took.
The office door opened.
Uncle Biao walked in cautiously at this time. He took a look and motioned to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue walked out with light steps.
Uncle Biao asked in a low voice: "How is Li Yi's practice?"
"The progress is not going very smoothly. He has not really entered meditation yet." Lin Yue shook her head and said.
"It's okay, it's normal. Wasn't it the same for me at the beginning? Please be patient. After all, it's his first time to come into contact with spiritual practice, and he didn't understand anything before." Uncle Biao said.
Lin Yue said: "Uncle, do you still remember the situation when Li Yi's father, Uncle Li, was practicing for the first time?"
As she spoke, she raised a finger: "Uncle Li fell into concentration once, and then he began to absorb the energy of the universe and officially entered practice."
Uncle Biao snorted and said: "His father is a real genius. This is incomparable. Otherwise, how could he become a Silent One? Anyone can be a Silent One if you are a Silent One. It's not like the first batch of cultivators practiced too fast.
, everything has not been figured out yet, and it became like that when something went wrong.”
"Niece, tell me, does Li Yi have the talent for cultivation?"
After speaking, he bumped Lin Yue's arm and asked.
Lin Yue pondered for a while, and then said: "I can't tell now, but he also entered samadhi in one go. He was just inexperienced and was frightened, and then exited the state of samadhi. However, now the cultivation talent is no longer measured by the speed of entering samadhi, but
It depends on how efficiently it absorbs the energy of the universe."
??????55.??????
"Although someone can absorb ten copies of the cosmic energy in one breath, he can only retain one or two copies. Such a conversion rate shows that his cultivation talent is very poor."
"But someone can absorb up to five copies of the cosmic energy, but he can retain it all with a 100% conversion rate. Such talent is very high and has great potential. If he cooperates with a guide, he can reach the level of a genius."
"Of course, there are still people who, although their conversion rate is low, can capture a hundred copies of the cosmic energy in one go. Even if they can only convert 20%, that's incredible."
"Which type Li Yi belongs to has to be tested before I know."
"Then I'll leave everything to you. Uncle, I'll treat you to dinner later." Uncle Biao said with a smile.
Lin Yue rolled her eyes: "No, I'm going to say something ugly earlier. If Li Yi has no talent for cultivation, I can't do anything about it. After all, I am only a human being, not a god. I can give others the talent to cultivate immortality. As for Li Yi's talent, I will give him some advice.
You’ll know in three days.”
"Haha, how could it be possible? The tiger father has no dog son. This kid Li Yi must be very talented. Don't worry, three days is enough for him." Uncle Biao said.
It's not that he has confidence in Li Yi's talent for cultivation, but he knows that Li Yi is a very sensible kid. If there is no progress in three days, he probably won't continue to trouble Lin Yue.
"I hope so."
Lin Yue said and suddenly hissed: "He seems to have successfully entered samadhi. Uncle, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go see him and test his cultivation talent."
Uncle Biao nodded, and then quietly left.
At this moment, Li Yi, who had entered a state of trance, began to adapt to the feeling of his consciousness sinking into darkness.
He was in a calm state of mind, without the slightest trace of panic or panic.
After the consciousness broke away from the influence of the body and began to adapt to the darkness, some new changes began to appear.
Some light gradually appeared in the darkness.
Those lights filled the surroundings, flowing around like a river, but the color was a bit strange, showing a gray-white color, as if it had been polluted in some way, making people subconsciously want to reject it.
"This should be the polluted spiritual energy that fills reality. These things cannot be absorbed." Li Yi had such a clear understanding in his heart.
But soon, in this gray-white world, there was another strange light. This light was simple and clear, like a sharp knife light that instantly tore open a hole in the polluted areas, and then
The light expanded and gradually formed the shape of half a knife coin.
Within the scope shrouded in light, pure cosmic energy flows, and under the induction of consciousness, it is as bright as a galaxy in the universe.
At this moment, Li Yi became a little excited.
He understood that the half sword coin in his hand was really an incomplete and strange object, which could bring its own energy field to purify the polluted spiritual energy. In this way, his cultivation speed would not be as fast as a thousand miles.
But now is not the time to get excited.
Li Yi tried to guide that energy with his thoughts.
At the beginning, there was no change in the energy, but after a while, a few bits of light slowly poured into his body, as if being pulled by some kind of force.
The thought guidance was successful.
It seems that I have the talent for cultivation.
However, the cosmic energy that was directed overflowed quickly before it was absorbed, then merged into the gray-white world, and was finally assimilated completely.
"Failed?" He recalled Lin Yue's words.
Directing cosmic energy into the body is only the first step; the second step is to retain it and absorb it.
If the second step cannot be achieved, then no matter how much cosmic energy you direct, it will be useless.
Li Yi tried again.
Several more amounts of pure cosmic energy enter the body.
This time the result was still the same. The energy dissipated, was assimilated, and completely disappeared.
But Li Yi is not discouraged, because the cosmic energy in that energy field is simply endless for him now, and he can try and make infinite mistakes.
The third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time, a piece of pure energy was bound by his thoughts and stayed in the body without dissipating. Instead, it began to melt, as if it had been absorbed, and at the same time a cool feeling surged.
There is an indescribable spirit and comfort in my mind.
Success!
After five attempts, I finally succeeded once.
Li Yi continued to practice.
At this time, he discovered that the polluted gray-white world around him suddenly had a few sporadic points of light. They seemed to be the cosmic energy overflowing from the wormhole, but the amount was only smaller than the cosmic energy in the energy field.
It seems pitifully rare.
"Why are those energies coming towards me?"
Suddenly, Li Yi discovered that a few bits of pure energy in the gray-white world seemed to be drawn by other forces into his body.
"Is it Sister Lin who is helping me guide?"
He thought this, but he didn't hesitate and tried to absorb it.
Some Li Yi successfully absorbed it, and some failed. The energy that was not absorbed can only be wasted and polluted by the world.
Generally speaking, the probability of failure is relatively high, and only a few are successfully absorbed.
In this way, Li Yi gradually immersed himself in practice.
Chapter completed!
