Ask Sword

In the next few days, several things happened in the city of Weizhou.

The first is the most important provincial test.

After the examination in the state school, all candidates for this year's Weizhou City have been decided.

And after subtracting those whose spiritual vein talent does not match and those who are over eighteen years old, a list of ten people who are eligible to go to Chang'an and participate in the school entrance examination is obtained.

Among the ten people, Zhai Yiming from the state school ranked first in grades, Song Shaoyuan ranked second, the third to sixth were all other students from the state school, and there were also four Gongju students from other places.

According to the rules, the selected scholars such as Zhai Yiming and Song Shaoyuan all celebrated with burning tail banquets at home, and held different banquets in succession in the next few days to thank teachers, parents, and congratulate classmates and friends. Students from the same country who are taking the exam, build a good relationship.

Li Ang didn't go to any banquet, in fact, he even turned down the banquet of the prefect's family - even though the prefect Ji Chi's daughter also received a letter of recommendation from the school tour this year, and she was a recommended student just like him.

"When I go to Chang'an this time, I need to listen more, see more, and think more."

In the courtyard of the Baoan Hall, Pu Liuxuan smiled and said to Li Ang: "When I was here, the development of the academy was already changing with each passing day. Fifteen years have passed, and I don't know what new ideas and technologies there are.

Ask your senior brother to take you to the Xuegong Library during the open day, maybe there will be some new inspiration. "

Yu State's public library, formerly known as Secretary Province.

Because of the burning of books by the first emperor, most of the book collections in the world were destroyed. In addition, there were only handwritten transcriptions and bamboo slips and silk books in the old days.

It is difficult to preserve and disseminate books. Only the government can collect them on a large scale, and they are hidden in the secret palace in the palace.

Therefore, the institution that specializes in managing the national collection of books is named "Secretary Province", and the person in charge of editing and correcting books in the Secretary Province is called Xiaoshulang.

However, after the emergence of the Academy and the improvement of printing and papermaking techniques, the difficulty of writing books suddenly decreased, and a large collection of books was no longer the patent of the country or the rich and noble.

Some relatively wealthy state capitals have local libraries, collecting books, newspapers and periodicals on the market at public expense every year for citizens to borrow.

"Um."

Li Ang nodded respectfully, hesitated for a moment, and asked Pu Liuxuan softly: "Teacher, what is the sign of feeling aura?

I have been reading "Shangqing Inspiration" for the past few days, and every time I read halfway through, I feel itchy under the skin and my chest and abdomen bulge. "

"oh?"

Pu Liuxuan raised his brows in surprise, "Itching under the skin, bulging chest and abdomen?

Do you still feel that your breathing is smooth, and the time for each exhalation is longer than before? "

Li Ang nodded, "Yes."

"A month?"

Pu Liuxuan's frown slowly eased, and he said with a smile: "This is the precursor of the emotional state.

The "Shangqing Inspiration" is just an introduction. Only when reading the book, the six organs are clean, the heart is clean, and the righteous thoughts are firm, so that the true energy is full and found in the gods, can the energy channels be unobstructed. "

"Pure heart? Is that enough?"

Li Ang said in surprise, "I thought it would be more difficult."

"easy to say, hard to do."

Pu Liuxuan said casually: "Separate greed, anger, ignorance, resentment and hatred. Don't ask, don't rush, don't get lost, just wait quietly.

Some people who are not enlightened think that peace of mind means not thinking about anything, let go and give up on themselves, find a place to sit for a whole day,

As everyone knows, if you want to feel angry, you have to think about it without thinking about it. While the will is extremely firm, take the initiative to restrain and suppress all distracting thoughts, and use the will to sense the existence of heaven and earth aura.

This method must be comprehended on your own, and letting others tell you to suppress distracting thoughts will only make you unable to control your wandering thoughts. "

"So that's how it is."

Li Ang suddenly realized, no wonder Pu Liuxuan only lost a copy of "Shangqing Inspiration", without any additional notes.

"It takes a month to sense the aura, which is not bad."

Pu Liuxuan smiled and said: "However, sensing the aura of the world outside is just the first step. The next thing to do is to feel where your own aura is."

"Well"

Li Ang thought for a while and asked, "Teacher, what type of thing is the spirit vein? Or, in what form does it exist?"

"Lingmai is not like a thing, it is more like a characteristic that a person is born with, like a fingerprint on a finger, a birthmark."

Pu Liuxuan explained: "The difference is that the spirit vein is bound together with the body and soul of a person, it cannot be seen or touched, and it is not a specific organ.

To give a simple example, you can think of the aura of heaven and earth as an endless flow of air,

The human body is the flute.

The spirit vein is the hollow hole in the flute.

Because of the hollow spirit veins, the aura of heaven and earth can be introduced into the human body, and can be manipulated and influenced by the monk's will.

Just like the airflow passes through the flute and Xiao, playing music, it generates various mysterious effects.

Excavating the original spiritual veins is equivalent to cleaning Di Xiao, so that the human body blocked by unclean things and unclean thoughts can be clear again.

The whole process is the initial guide.

After completing the initial guide, it is a sense of qi. "

The example given by Pu Liuxuan was vivid and vivid, and Li Ang didn't spend much effort to understand what was going on, he hesitated and said, "In other words, feeling Qi is the process of sensing the position of the spirit vein and making it unblocked?

Does the location of the spirit vein matter? "

"Location?"

Pu Liuxuan thought for a moment and said: "The spiritual veins are invisible and intangible, but the experience of the sages in the academy and many cases have proved that the positions of the spiritual veins of different people seem to be different.

Concentrate on blood vessels, meridians, or eyes, hands, heart, ears and other areas.

Some sects in the former Sui Dynasty also advocated the so-called ancient method of practice, that is, according to the location of the spiritual vein, practice different Qigong methods-of course, that kind of ancient practice has now been eliminated by the academy. "

"Is it possible that the spiritual pulse will appear in the head?"

Li Ang sat up straight nervously and asked, "After I sense the aura of heaven and earth, sometimes my head hurts slightly, and the scene in front of me suddenly turns black.

It's like having a sword in your head. "

"Head?"

Pu Liuxuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Li Ang nodded heavily, "The disciple is sure."

"How could it be? It shouldn't be."

Pu Liuxuan frowned, and murmured: "The most common place for spiritual veins to appear is the blood vessels, followed by the heart, limbs, eyes and mouth. I have never heard of them growing in the head."
