Dedicate One’s Mind

"Ding——." Wu Yi spent a lot of effort and finally read out the first word of the Qingxin Mantra. As the first word was read out, Wu Yi suddenly felt that the Dao rhyme in his body was much more lively and vivid.

It worked. Wu Yi was overjoyed and wiped the sweat off his face. He did not plan to rest and was ready to read it all in one breath.

What made Wu Yi extremely excited was that after the first word was read out, it was like a flood that broke through the door and could not be stopped. He actually read it all in one breath.

"The broken Ding and the broken furnace are very hurtful. From now on, I will wash my old liver and intestines. Hang the Qin sword high to drive away evil spirits, clean the Lingtai and worship the King of Law..."

Wu Yi muttered to himself and read out the Qingxin Mantra word for word. His speech speed became faster and faster. At the same time, the Dao rhyme in his body also beat faster and faster, as if dancing in joy.

"Sweep away all causes without stains, be pure and quiet to be an immortal," Wu Yi finally read the last sentence at such a fast speed, but when he was about to read the last word "Tan", Wu Yi suddenly felt a warning in his heart. It was the Dao rhyme that warned him.

Wu Yi immediately woke up from the state of being almost possessed. When he looked at the state of the Dao Yun in his body, his face changed greatly. The Dao Yun that was originally pure and white suddenly became much darker. It is not difficult to imagine that if he really recited the last word, the Dao Yun that he had finally realized would collapse or become completely turbid and lose its effect.

If it were not for the fact that the Dao Yun had felt that it was about to be polluted and warned him, Wu Yi would probably really regret it, but fortunately, there was such a slight difference, and God left Wu Yi such a glimmer of hope.

Suppressing his fear in his heart, Wu Yi calmly examined why he had recited the Qingxin Mantra quickly and restlessly like a demon.

The main reason should be that he was eager to learn this Qingxin Mantra, and he had repeatedly hit a wall before, which made him very impatient. After hard work, he successfully recited the first word, which made him very surprised. The gains and losses made Wu Yi's heart fluctuate, and he could not calm down for a long time, which made Wu Yi almost possessed.

After understanding his problem, Wu Yi continued to infuse Dao rhyme into the scroll that wrote the Qingxin Mantra. The originally complicated and obscure Xuanwen became understandable in Wu Yi's eyes, but the Dao rhyme was turbid before, that is, it was mixed with many different Dao rhymes, among which the most obvious should be the Dao rhyme of the Great Dao of Movement. If Wu Yi and the Heart Demon competed with Dao rhyme at this time, Wu Yi would definitely lose.

The turbid Dao rhyme made the Qingxin Mantra that Wu Yi could see clearly much darker than at the beginning, but if he looked closely, he could still see it clearly.

He didn't dare to recite it as recklessly as before. Although Wu Yi had the desire to recite the Qingxin Mantra as quickly as before, it seemed that the faster he recited, the faster his Dao rhyme would grow, but he stubbornly abandoned this extremely tempting desire and recited it word by word, taking a breath after each word before continuing to recite.

Relying on his strong self-control, Wu Yi finally finished reciting the Qingxin Mantra calmly. As the Qingxin Mantra was recited completely, the fear that Wu Yi had originally suppressed in his heart also dissipated a little bit, and the turbid Dao rhyme also became brighter a little bit, but it was still far inferior to the original whiteness.

Without urgency, Wu Yi continued to recite, but this time he recited more slowly, reciting one word every two breaths. There was always a voice in his heart urging him to recite quickly. There were many reasons for the urging, the inner demon was gradually getting stronger; the main body of the demon had not been resolved; the children of the Yuan family came to seek revenge; the battle for the true inheritance was about to begin...

Wu Yi gradually understood why he had gone astray before. This was because he had always had a string in his heart that was tight. This string had always existed since he entered the Dao Gate. He had no family support behind him, and he depended on others. His own strength was weak, swaying between many forces, and became a chess piece thrown by everyone. All of this made Wu Yi feel a sense of urgency, forcing Wu Yi to seek to make his cultivation progress faster.

This sense of urgency may have made Wu Yi dare not slack off at first, and he quickly entered the door of cultivation, which was very helpful to him. However, as his cultivation progressed, this string never showed any signs of loosening, but became tighter and tighter. Even though he often had the habit of looking at the scenery from afar, he was always thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, how to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

If at the beginning, he was like a shrimp, and the biggest predator he saw in a pond was just Liu He and Sun Zhijie, who were like fish and shrimp, but he gradually grew up and became a fish, and began to swim out of the small pond that restrained him and entered the river. The predators he faced also became stronger, and giant fish and crocodiles came on the scene one after another, and even hidden whales like Bai Ze also came out.

At this time, simply spurring himself on to continuous improvement has lost its effect. In the eyes of an elephant, he doesn't care whether an ant has grown sharp mouthparts. This is a gap formed by several great realms, which cannot be eliminated in a short time. Wu Yi is strong and proud by nature, and his temporary forbearance is buried in his heart, ready to be released. He has the ambition to be on par with those great powers, but he lacks the ability to do so in a short time. There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two. Wu Yi has no good solution yet, so he can only force himself to continue working hard like a madman. In this way, the restlessness in his heart accumulates more and more.

Reciting the Pure Heart Mantra very fast was an explosion in such a state, and this explosion almost destroyed Wu Yi himself. The first time he recited the Pure Heart Mantra, Wu Yi's long-hidden impatience burst out. The Pure Heart Mantra actually helped Wu Yi did a big favor. After understanding the great help that the Pure Heart Mantra had to him, Wu Yi turned his head and looked at Bai Ze, his eyes gradually glowing. No matter what Bai Ze's purpose was behind him, the Pure Heart Mantra he gave Wu Yi was ahead of schedule. It detonated the powder keg that had been hidden in Wu Yi's heart for a long time.

As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If the Qingxin Curse hadn't exposed Wu Yi's own problems in advance and broke out a month or three months later, he might really have lost his Taoist charm and even his cultivation by that time.

The calm lake surface sparkles under the sunlight, but the dirt hidden at the bottom of the lake can only be revealed after a shower stirs up the lake water, and only at this moment do people know that the dirt buried under the crystal clear lake water is How much dirt there is.

In the next few days, Wu Yi chanted the Pure Heart Mantra all the time, but the Taoist image manifested by the Taoist rhyme was far from restored to its original whiteness. If Wu Yi's original Taoist rhyme was compared to a lake, the dirt in this lake would It was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to the agitation. What Wu Yi had to do now was to completely change the water. This process was destined to be tiring and slow to produce results.

By chanting the Pure Heart Mantra for a long time, Wu Yi forgot everything, including time and space. He only remembered reciting the Pure Heart Mantra simply and mechanically. Each mantra was transformed into fist-sized gold characters, floating around Wu Yi, as if a god was alive. , anyone who sees Wu Yi will feel inexplicably calm in their hearts.

What Wu Yi, who was in an inexplicable state, didn't know at this time was that the blood burning technique and blood light were gradually speeding up when he recited the Qingxin Mantra. They were speeding up spontaneously, unlike Wu Yi who took the initiative to speed up in order to forcefully improve his cultivation.

At the same time, the nine movements that Wu Yi has practiced for a long time are about to complete the final step. The nine movements that have not been merged into one movement for a long time are about to reach their peak.

Buzzing——, like the fluttering and vibrating wings of a wasp, Wu Yi’s whole body suddenly shone brightly, and the source of the sound was Wu Yi’s head. To be precise, it was the Lingtai, which is the place where the heart of the sea of ​​consciousness resides. If it is not a Yangshen , the soul needs to always live in the spiritual platform.

Xuanyin scattered, awakening Bai Ze who was dozing. For Bai Ze, cultivation is to inquire into other people's privacy and complete his own path. He does not have to meditate all day long like most people.

After Xuanyin filled his ears, Bai Ze turned his gaze, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. However, even though he was well-informed, he only showed a slight surprise, and then he closed his eyes and continued to construct his dream.

The spiritual platform began to emit sounds, and then sounds came out from everywhere in Wu Yi's body. The two sounds were slightly uncoordinated at first, but soon, the sounds gradually became harmonious and merged into one.

The nine movements have now been officially integrated into one movement, but its impact is far more than that. The fusion of these last two movements touches on the fusion of Dharma and strength, which is already the ability of the Half-Step Golden Pill.

When Wu Yi got the "Dongyuan Sensing Book", he originally wanted to write it down first and start practicing spiritual consciousness in the future.

But at this moment, Wu Yi's spiritual platform underwent earth-shaking changes, and a mysterious light came out, illuminating Wu Yi's whole body. When the mysterious light passed by, the dust scattered everywhere, as if it was pushed away by an inexplicable force. If there was a person with extraordinary vision on the side, It is not difficult to find that this mysterious light is the mind, or more accurately, it should be the spiritual consciousness. Wu Yi spontaneously condensed the spiritual consciousness without practicing the "Dongyuan Induction Book".

Wu Yi was in the Jing Pavilion, and his every move could not hide the spirit of the Jing Pavilion that Bai Ze had gone to find before, that is, the old man. What's more, Bai Ze made a special trip to seek help for his son, and the old man's attention to Wu Yi was also unknown. Far better than others, he noticed the changes in Wu Yi's body immediately, but he never spoke. After Wu Yi's body changes were about to be completed, he said twice: "Variables, variables."

He and Bai Ze have been friends for many years, but the old man only talked to Bai Ze twice, and they only exchanged two words. But at this time, he was uncharacteristically different, but explained from the side how Wu Yi's changes had touched him.

Why is there such a big difference between Bai Ze and the old man? It is because they focus on different things. Bai Ze's way of cultivating secrets emphasizes exhausting the world's secrets, knowing astronomy and geography, and becoming a know-it-all; while Jing Pavilion's What he cultivates spiritually is the great way of truth. In order to achieve this truth, he seeks it from books, which is in line with his duties.

What Bai Ze values ​​​​is that Wu Yi has merged strength and qi in the realm of qi refining. Of course, he has just embarked on this path. There is still a long way to go until the two paths are completely complementary. Although such a disciple is very There are few, but they are still there after all, and they cannot contribute to Bai Ze's avenue.

When the old man selected the scriptures for Wu Yi, he followed the Tao. Based on his many years of experience in managing the scripture pavilion, this kind of thing would have been a sure thing. However, the "Dongyuan Induction Book" he selected for Wu Yi contained an article that condensed spiritual consciousness. In his calculation, Wu Yi should use this chapter, but Wu Yi has not practiced this chapter yet, so he condensed his spiritual consciousness because of other methods. It may not be innocuous in the eyes of others, but to the old man, it is his Taoism. Wrong, this problem is huge.

Looking at the other two books that the old man selected for Wu Yi, it is easy to see the old man's proficiency in this way. At a glance, he can see through the scriptures that Wu Yi needs most. They will not overlap with other methods that Wu Yi currently practices. Those are definitely first-class and suitable. Wu Yi's unerring scriptures.

But to cultivate to the level of an old man, what is needed is to constantly check for omissions, fill in the gaps, and improve oneself. Any slight flaw will become an obstacle for him when he improves.

The old man has not found his own flaws for a long, long time. For him at this level, if it is not a bottleneck, it is basically the end of the road, but the old man is neither of them. He has a long life after entering the Taoism. The person who sent the Patriarch to this place at the same time, and he was far from reaching the bottleneck.

There is no way forward. This is the reason why the old man looks lifeless. Now, after endless time, he has rediscovered his own shortcomings. A vitality is born under the old man's stale aura. This is the real reason for the changes in his connection.

At the same time, a crystal line of cause and effect also connected the old man and Wu Yi. Wu Yi had some influence on the old man. Although it was a bit far-fetched, the cause and effect was on both sides. Not just looking at the facts, the old man believed that the changes in Wu Yi's body had a negative impact on him. Help means that the old man owes Wu Yi a cause and effect.

And this line of cause and effect is much thicker and more solid than the original line of cause and effect connecting the two people. The asymmetry between the two parties will naturally lead to such a result.

Wu Yi gradually opened his eyes after the voice urging him to continue practicing in his heart gradually stopped. What shone in his eyes was a hint of calmness from the heart.

The Qingxin mantra selected in this chapter comes from Chapter 24 of the Seven Rules of Fuyang Immortal Jue Golden Elixir Guide written by Taoist Fuyang in the Qing Dynasty. Interested readers can search for the original text.
