There is a fairy tower in Baiyun's place

This is something Zuimeng did not have before, this feeling is subtle and clear, the more you look at Qingyu's intimacy, the clearer it is.

Although I don't know what happened, but I can be sure that it should be because of the sapphire. Bai Yunlou raised his hand and applied the sapphire to the center of the forehead and brow.

After taking the sapphire far away, the sense of intimacy gradually weakens, but when you close your eyes, you can still detect the general direction, such as the feeling of listening to the voice to distinguish the position, and the sense of intimacy is far away when you hold it more than ten feet away.

After several attempts, there was no other abnormality, so Baiyunlou put the sapphire in a wooden box and kept it away, and then slowly studied it when he had free time.

Ever since I was a child in Baiyunlou, I have liked to read stories about gods and ghosts. Occasionally, I would go to teahouses to listen to stories about gods and ghosts. The Great Xia Kingdom has been established for more than 3000 years. Protect the Great Xia Kingdom, and let the Great Xia Kingdom stand up to this day.

Baiyunlou has long felt that this world is not just the mortal world, and the trip to Liuyun Temple two years ago also confirmed it. Last night, when he was drunk in his dream, his mind changed because of the sapphire. Although he was surprised, he still couldn't accept it. .

Slightly absorbing his spiritual thoughts, Bai Yunlou sat cross-legged on the futon, gradually sinking his mind.

In the past, Bai Yunlou learned some methods of meditation and meditation from some ancient books, but there were always shallow thoughts disturbing the mind, and he couldn't enter the method. Today, he can achieve it overnight, and easily enter the meditation, calm, pure and transparent.

Then the mind gradually converged, and gathered towards the sea of ​​consciousness one inch inside the eyebrows mentioned in the Taoist scriptures.

Suddenly, his mind entered a bright place, and after Baiyun Tower calmed down his slightly turbulent mind, he finally slowly saw this small world clearly.

The bottom of the mind is like a cloud and mist, and this wisp of my mind floats gently on the cloud and mist. There are many green fluorescent spots scattered around, twinkling like stars. Needless to say, this is my sea of ​​consciousness.

Contemplating this ray of spiritual consciousness inwardly, it is slightly weak, and the expression is light. Suddenly, Baiyunlou is blessed to the soul, controlling this ray of mind to float to a blue fluorescent point not far away.

Chapter 3 will travel far

This ray of consciousness was floating, and after a while, it came to this light spot.

The green fluorescent dot flickered slightly, but there was no abnormal reaction. After a little hesitation, Baiyunlou controlled his mind and rushed towards the light dot.

The green fluorescent spot was successfully wrapped by Baiyun Tower's spiritual consciousness, and gradually merged into the spiritual consciousness.

Baiyun Tower only felt the warmth as if entering a hot spring, and this ray of consciousness was like nectar after a long drought, and it actually felt cheerful.

With the experience of devouring once, this ray of spiritual consciousness rushed to another light spot, and as expected, it swallowed the second light spot smoothly like the first one.

But at this time, the spiritual consciousness felt full, as if it was full, and it didn't want to devour it when it saw other light spots. It seems that there is a limit to the devouring of light spots.

After devouring the two light spots, the consciousness also has a faint blue light, which is a circle larger than ordinary light spots, not as vain as when it first came in.

The first time I entered the Sea of ​​Consciousness, I had such a harvest, and Baiyun Tower was already satisfied.

Looking at the light spots floating around, and looking at the dark sea of ​​clouds below, the turbid clouds are churning, Baiyun Tower dare not try again easily, just accept it when it is good, things are endless, my sea of ​​consciousness, wait until I find out the root cause and try again not too late.

When the spiritual thoughts were emptied, the consciousness returned to the main body, and Baiyunlou moved his hands and feet instinctively, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual.

Looking out of the window, there was just a faint glow in the sky, and it seemed that it was only about a quarter of an hour.

Before coming to the case, Baiyunlou picked up an ancient book on the table, which was the Liuyun Daojing presented by the old Taoist Liuyunguan.

This Taoist scripture was always considered obscure and difficult to understand before, but now when I look at it, my thoughts are flowing like a fountain, and some obscure words and sentences are not difficult to understand. It seems that this Taoist scripture can finally be studied slowly.

There are three chapters in the Daoist scriptures, the first chapter is relatively obscure, and the general meaning of the scriptures is that Tao follows nature, returns to nature, and Tao is the origin of the universe.

After a brief look at the Baiyun Tower, most of the first chapter can be read, but some words and sentences are still unclear. This time, it seems that I will stop by the Liuyun Temple and ask the old Taoist for advice.

The middle part of the Taoist scriptures is much easier to understand. It explains what cultivation is. Cultivation means cultivation of truth.

Cultivation is actually the process of countless ancestors trying to deduce the Tao to find a path leading to the Tao following nature and the unity of nature and man. There are thousands of paths, but all lead to the same goal.

The middle chapter details several stages of cultivation:

The Qi Condensation Stage is the threshold of self-cultivation. It condenses spiritual energy to refine one's own essence, penetrates the meridians, circulates around the sky, refines the impurities in the body, and strengthens the meridians and the physical body.

This stage is extraordinary but not refined, stepping into the Qi Condensation Stage, the body is nourished by the spiritual energy, and the lifespan can reach the number of small weeks, one hundred and eight years old, due to aptitude and chance, there is no one in a million who can step into this threshold .

After the completion of the Qi Condensation period, you can try to build a foundation. During the foundation building period, you can practice the gasification liquid, the true energy will be substantiated, and the essence, energy, and spirit will be further refined, and the impurities in the body behind the meridians will be completely refined, so as to build a solid foundation for self-cultivation.

Entering the foundation building period, the lifespan can reach more than three hundred years old. In the foundation building period, one can refine the things of one's life and defend oneself with defensive weapons.

It is also a big threshold for the foundation building to successfully break through the golden elixir realm. It needs to use the power of the soul to compress and quench the liquefied true energy. It is extremely difficult for those who do not have great perseverance or great opportunity to achieve alchemy.

The lifespan of a monk in the Golden Core Realm can be up to [-] years old. The monks in the Golden Core Stage have a strong real energy, and their essence, energy and spirit are refined and integrated into one.

The Taoist scriptures did not describe the Nascent Soul Realm of Empress Jindan, and there are only a few sentences, which are only speculations and deduction.

The second part of the Dao Jing is the practice method, but Baiyun Tower has almost no aptitude, the meridians are obscure, and the sense of Qi is hard to find. After several attempts, there is no progress, so it can only be temporarily put aside.

Although unable to cultivate, Baiyunlou was not discouraged. Since he saw the door, he couldn't push it open for no reason. Now that he got a chance from the sapphire, he strengthened his faith even more.

Putting down the Daoist scriptures, his spiritual thoughts reached out to the sapphire in the wooden box beside him, and the intimacy seemed to grow a bit stronger.

After clearing up my mood, I came to the open space outside the study and started to practice the set of cloud-dispelling palms. I played two sets in a row.

After concentrating for a while, the small and mixed sounds from the alley next door entered my ears, the sound of wheels, splashing water, greetings, and the sizzling of oil cakes being poured into the pan, all clearly and clearly distinguishable.

Bai Yunlou rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

After greeting the early-rising lady, Baiyunlou went out of the house and turned into the back alley to visit the morning market.

Strolling slowly from the alley to the end of the alley, I came to a hot and sour soup shop, and greeted the young Xiao Er: "As usual."

Xiao Er cheered up and replied, "Alright, Young Master Bai, you are waiting."

Xiao Er went to the opposite shop to get a catty of scallion pancakes, made a side dish in his own shop, scooped up a large bowl of hot and sour soup, and brought it to Baiyunlou.

Although the cooks of the Bai family are also good at cooking, they still can't taste the taste of this shop.

Slowly eating this delicacy that the gods don't change, watching the smoke curling up in the alley, this morning, it is worth saving, and at that moment, Baiyun Tower's spiritual consciousness is released and absorbed.

After regaining consciousness, looking at the big empty bowl in front of him, I couldn't help but sigh, the delicious food is always eaten without knowing it.

Although Baiyunlou also likes the taste of the mortal city and loves the leisurely and peaceful life, but after all, there is always blood in the heart of a young man.

Having gained a little fame and satisfied my father's small thoughts, it's time to get out of this small Luoshui County and experience the possibly bizarre and colorful world outside.

Satisfied my hunger, I bought some fresh melons and vegetables on the way back, and brought a can of soybean juice for my father.

After Master Bai had finished his breakfast, Baiyunlou took his father to chat about the study tour, everything was insignificant, you should ask questions, everything is good at home, but it is difficult to go out for a day.

There is no shortage of entanglement with the Bai family, and their own cargo ship can also take a short distance along the way, and there is no need to worry about the way to the academy. The Great Xia Kingdom has enjoyed prosperity and prosperity in recent decades, and it has been more than 50 years since the last turmoil.

Although there is still nearly a month before the opening of the academy, since the idea of ​​going out to study has come into being, Baiyun Building can't wait so long, and set the departure date for the day after tomorrow.

At that time, I will take my own cargo ship to rest in a town dozens of miles away, and then stop by the Liuyun Temple to bother the old master of the temple.

A Niang heard that Lou'er was going to travel a long distance in a few days, so she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she took Yunlou to her cloth shop, measured and selected materials, anyway, Baiyun Lou also followed A Niang in her own cloth shop.

In the afternoon, Baiyunlou carried two catties of stewed meat and two cans of shochu along the river bank to the old gentleman's house at the east end of the street, talked with the old gentleman for a long time, talked about the upcoming study tour, and received a bunch of reminders .

In the evening, I declined the old man's dinner, bid farewell to the old man, and walked home slowly in the sunset.

The sun is shining, and the boy will travel far.

Chapter 4 See the Sea of ​​Clouds

Send a message to Ling Yunzhi, and the spring breeze sends wanderers away.

At the Green Bamboo Pavilion by the Liuhua River, my father and mother, even the shop assistants and cooks, came to see them off. My mother took Baiyunlou, stuffed a small cloth bag with a tight mouth, and said: "The peace talisman I asked for in the temple a year ago, I will return it to you." If you have a little bit of silver, don’t waste it.”

Bai Yunlou put it away carefully close to his body, and said: "Mother, you know me, I'm so talkative, I can't treat myself badly no matter where I go, hehe."

Looking at the cargo ship waiting at the ferry, Baiyun Tower said to A Niang: "The auspicious time has come, the calendar has a load, and it is beneficial to travel far, A Niang, don't worry, I will ask for a leave to return home after a few months, when the time comes I'll bring you the Qianyun Cake from Fucheng, it looks like the wind is blowing, and you should be able to reach Liuyun Temple before dark."

Upon hearing this, A Niang hurriedly went to tell the boatman to go. Taking advantage of this time, she greeted Dad, and Baiyunlou stepped on the board and boarded the cargo ship.

Baiyunlou stands leisurely at the bow of the boat, the silver ribbons that tie her hair fluttering in the wind, she is dressed in green clothes, with a dragon scale sword on her waist, her eyebrows and eyes are full of heroism, and she is a handsome young man.

Seeing that Master Bai was very relieved, thinking that he should have looked like this when he was young.

The merchant ship took up the rope and set sail, sailing with the wind, looking at the figure fading away under the bamboo pavilion, two parts of nostalgia, three parts of longing, five parts of pride, lingering in the heart of Baiyun Tower, this nostalgia silently imprinted into the sea of ​​consciousness of Baiyun Tower .

Looking back blankly for a while, Baiyunlou collected his mind, recalling the situation of the past two days, there was still a little excitement in his heart.

Since the encounter in Qingyu the day before yesterday, Baiyun Tower has made many attempts, and probably figured out some ways.

It is best to enter the sea of ​​consciousness every day, and it is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world. Swallowing the green fluorescent spots in the sea of ​​consciousness can strengthen the consciousness. The stronger the consciousness is, the more light spots can be swallowed.

In the past two days, Baiyun Tower has devoured six blue fluorescent spots one after another, and his spiritual consciousness has become more solidified, and the induction with Qingyu has already increased to ten feet or two.

It is obviously easier to concentrate on reading and practicing calligraphy. After concentrating, the hearing becomes more acute, and the vision at night is somewhat clearer.

After the spiritual consciousness grows, the thoughts become more transparent, and some vague memories before become clearer as long as they concentrate on thinking back.

I remembered that in a few miscellaneous scriptures and strange talks, divine consciousness was mentioned, but there were only a few words.

Liuyun Daojing has some descriptions of spiritual consciousness. The Taoist scriptures say: People have energy and spirit. Those who cultivate the Tao refine their essence and transform their energy, circulate around the sky, and then concentrate their energy to refine their spirits. The threshold of enlightenment.

The spiritual consciousness grows slowly with the cycle of the sky, and the accumulated practice can only slightly condense the spiritual consciousness, and the essence of cultivation can be filled with energy.

The more concentrated the spiritual consciousness is, the more diligent the practice can be. Therefore, essence is the foundation of cultivation, and spiritual consciousness is the foundation of cultivation.

Baiyunlou couldn't help but sigh with emotion, before he searched hard for a path of cultivation but couldn't find it, but now he has this unusual method of strengthening his spiritual consciousness, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

This study tour passed by Liuyun Temple, and I went to the old Taoist for advice on the way, and it should be rewarding.

About Qingyu's abnormality, I didn't tell my father to know about it, and I will go out soon, so that my father will not be worried if he finds out.

Yesterday, I deliberately played with my father with sapphire, and mentioned that the forehead was refreshing, but my father applied it according to his words, but there was nothing unusual about it.

It seems that I got the benefits under some kind of chance, this kind of fate is really rare, Baiyun Tower is well aware of the magic of sapphire, and has already kept it close to me.

Read idle books along the way, watch the scenery along the river, sail along the wind, enter the river along the river, and arrive at a pier by the river in a hurry for half a day.

Master Bai arranged for Uncle Li, an old man from the rice shop, to accompany him, so he could help with the arrangements on the way.

When the boat arrived at the pier, Uncle Li took his luggage and followed Baiyun downstairs to get off the cargo ship, and found an inn at the east end of the town to settle down first.

Seeing that it was still early, Baiyunlou asked Uncle Li to wait for him at the inn for two days, and left the inn with a bundle.

Follow the road to the north of Zhenbei, head towards Liuyun Temple on Chuyun Peak, and arrive at the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour, and a few pilgrims come down from the mountain sporadically.

Baiyunlou came to Liuyun Temple with A Niang, but I remember the path, walking in the courtyard, I have entered the mountain gate, and arrived at the other courtyard in the middle of the mountain.

I handed the worship post to the little Taoist priest guarding the mountain, and then I realized that the old Taoist Guanzhu has gained a lot in his cultivation recently, and he has gone to retreat in the back mountain for more than a month. It seems that he will not be able to see him this time.

The little Taoist looked at the worship sticker in his hand, the handwriting was neat and elegant, and when he saw the inscription "Student Baiyun Tower worships", his eyes were filled with surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "But Mr. Bai from Luoshui County?"

Baiyun Tower cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."

The little Taoist hurriedly said: "The master of the temple has given instructions before retreating. If Mr. Bai comes to watch, you can do things cheaply during the visit. Don't be polite, Mr. Bai, you can give orders at any time if you have something to do."

Baiyunlou was astonished, how could this old Taoist have the ability to calculate by magic, and he actually counted the things he came to observe.

That being the case, anyway, it is still early before the opening of the academy, so I will stay in the other courtyard for a few more days, read the Taoist scriptures, and look at the clouds.

I told the little Taoist priest that he would stay in another courtyard for a few days, and the little Taoist priest naturally agreed.

Lead the Baiyun Tower to the innermost quiet room in the other courtyard. At the door of the quiet room, there is a tall ginkgo tree showing new buds, revealing vitality in the setting sun.

Next to the quiet room is the study of the other courtyard, the little Taoist looked at the study and said: "The Lord has something to say, this study, Mr. Bai, is free to read at will."

Baiyun Tower heard the words and said: "I am sorry for the temple master. If the temple master leaves the customs, don't forget to let me know, so I can thank you in person."

The little Taoist promised to resign, and Baiyunlou had a fast meal in the dining hall of the other courtyard, and it was already dark when he returned to the quiet room.

The quiet room is not big, but it is also elegant, with bamboo couch, bamboo chairs, a wooden table, and four flowing characters "quiet as flowing clouds" hanging on the wall.

Pushing open the window lattice on one side, what comes into view is a quiet valley. Under the moonlight, the mountains rise and fall, there is a curved stream, several shallow pools, and the shadows of pine forests are really beautiful.

There was nothing to do at night, and Baiyunlou was a little restless, so he took the oil lamp and went to the study on the other side to look for books.

In the past two days, the spiritual consciousness has gradually strengthened, which has given Baiyunlou new hope for Taoism. In order to verify the deliberations, I found several medical scriptures on meridians and acupoints, among which there is a hand-painted meridian diagram, which is really unexpected happiness.

The empty mountain is quiet, and the leaves are falling and insects are singing.

Back in the quiet room, Bai Yunlou sat quietly on the bamboo couch for a while, picked up these medical scriptures and studied them carefully.

There are indeed many benefits to a strong spiritual consciousness. In less than two hours, I have read seven or eight out of ten of these books. Seeing that the night was getting dark, I tidied up a little, then sat cross-legged on the side of the couch and fell into samadhi.

Perhaps Izumo Peak had sufficient aura, and after a short concentration, he entered the sea of ​​consciousness. This time, he devoured the green fluorescent dots very smoothly. After swallowing four in a row, his consciousness felt full.

Early the next morning, Baiyunlou woke up naturally after sleeping until he came to the window, and what he saw was a billowing sea of ​​clouds, with the rising red sun shining on it.

The rosy clouds are draped like brocades, and the tops of several mountains are slightly exposed, appearing in the clouds and mists from time to time, just like a fairyland.

Chapter 5 On Taoism

Standing against the window, Baiyun Tower looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds, and couldn't help but wonder if the turbid clouds floating in the lower layer of the sea of ​​consciousness were the same as this sea of ​​clouds, and there was another world beneath it.

In the middle of the night, Baiyun Tower entered the sea of ​​consciousness, and the divine consciousness was emitting a faint green light. He was slightly concentrated, and used his spiritual thoughts to observe the turbid clouds churning below the sea of ​​consciousness.

There is also a faint blue light flashing among the turbid clouds. It seems that there are also blue fluorescent spots in the turbid clouds.
