Chapter 34: Innate Minor Supernatural Power
The phenomenon of "the soul leads the hundred meridians to move" is a precursor to the soul's out-of-body state mentioned in the "Baolu", "Guizhen Jing" and even "Yigui Dafa". Shi Xuan was happy and quickly withdrew from the visualization. The appearance of this precursor has shown that the time is ripe. Before the breakthrough, the soul can no longer grow.
However, breaking through the realm is not that simple. Shi Xuan still has to make some preparations, especially calming the mind, adjusting emotions, and making the mind and body state reach the best.
In the next few days, Shi Xuan did not practice. He either went up the mountain to hunt with Yan Jujian, or went to the city with Ding Mingde to shop and eat some delicious food. In the evening, he pointed out some content related to the soul practice of the two. Mainly, Shi Xuan was very satisfied with his observations of the two in the past few days. He could tell them about this aspect, but he just didn't teach them so systematically.
Yan Jujian himself is at the level of half a step into the subtle realm, but there is little content about tempering the soul in the martial arts secrets, and there is no special method to strengthen the soul. Only by accumulating for a long time can there be a glimmer of hope to reach the subtle realm. Now with Shi Xuan's guidance, it is like opening a new door. He is thoughtful all day, sometimes frowning, and sometimes rejoicing.
It was the last day of November, the sun was shining, and people could feel the warmth in the winter. Shi Xuan adjusted all aspects of his condition to the best. After dinner, he told Yan Jujian and Ding Mingde that he would practice a magic tonight, and it would be inconvenient to guide the homework later.
It was late at night, and the moon was bright. Shi Xuan closed the door, took out three special incense sticks, bowed three times to the void, inserted the incense sticks into the bedside, and lit them with the ignition technique.
These incense sticks made by Xu Laodao can not only calm the mind and calm the emotions, but also protect the soul. They are prepared for the first few times of the soul leaving the body.
A faint sandalwood scent entered his nose. Shi Xuan felt more ethereal with a peaceful mood. He sat cross-legged on the bed and carefully recalled the contents of the "Baolu" he had read these days. After reaching the state of soul out of body, you can practice the "Shangqing Yu Yu Secret Inner View Five Thunder Method" in the "Baolu". This is the derivative method of the "Baolu" at this stage, but the most core "Five Directions Thunder God True Form Diagram" is the visualization method that can be compared with "Qingfeng Mingyue Zhaoshen Zhenfa".
In the "Baolu", after the soul out of body state and before the golden elixir stage, "Five Directions Thunder God True Form Diagram" and "Qingfeng Mingyue Zhaoshen Zhenfa" are the only two visualization methods that must be practiced, and neither can be neglected.
The Secret Inner Scenery of the Five Thunder Methods of Shangqing Yu Yu can only be practiced after reaching the soul out of the body realm, but visualizing the True Form Diagram of the Five Thunder Gods can be practiced in advance when the soul out of the body realm is reached, because it can greatly increase the possibility of successfully breaking through this realm. It is a supreme method that is better than the blood sacrifice of forty-nine living people by the two-headed tiger, so Shi Xuan looked down on the contents of the Ghost-Training Method before.
After Shi Xuan circulated the internal energy for one week to activate his body, he adjusted his breath and entered the visualization state. This time, Shi Xuan wanted to visualize the True Form Diagram of the Five Thunder Gods.
The Eastern Thunder God is called Kui, a gray-gray, one-legged, hornless ox, belonging to the wood element, in the liver. After Shi Xuan visualized this Thunder God, he felt that the liver of the physical body was vaguely connected to the soul visualization.
The Southern Thunder God is called Gong, with a monkey face and a pointed mouth, like a strong man, naked and bare-bellied, with two wings on his back, belonging to the fire element, in the heart. After visualizing this Thunder God, the soul visualization sensed the heart of the physical body.
The western thunder god is called Ji, with a pig's head and a scaly body, two fingers on each hand and foot, holding a red snake and biting it, belonging to the metal element, in the lungs. This thunder god allows the soul to visualize and connect with the lungs.
The northern thunder god is called Ze, with a dragon's body and a human head, and his belly is bulging, belonging to the water element, in the kidneys. After the visualization of this thunder god, the soul in the visualization state felt the kidneys, but the connection points were only vague and not clear.
The central thunder god is called Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun, with a human head and a human body, a majestic face, and a third eye in the forehead, belonging to the earth element, in the spleen. When the visualization of the central thunder god was completed, Shi Xuan's soul seemed to be suddenly enlightened. The five internal organs connected the five elements of the soul, and there were thoughts in the connection points. Shi Xuan suddenly understood that this was the divine thought mentioned in the "Baolu", and this was the first time he felt it clearly.
What people generally call "soul out of the body" is basically the divine thought out but not the soul, otherwise, the soul would have been blown away by the wind, and how could it wake up. After death, the soul is transformed into a ghost, which is another situation.
In the visualization, the five internal organs are connected to the soul while driving the body. Shi Xuan feels that the breathing of the body and soul can be heard. When he thinks, the power of the body can be transmitted to the soul. It is the body that belongs to the five internal organs, and the five internal organs belong to the soul. With the power of the upper and lower parts, how can Baihui not be broken?
With the blessing of the power of the body, Shi Xuan's soul has reached an unprecedented level of strength in the visualization, and the feeling of loosening of Baihui acupoint is getting stronger and stronger.
Seeing that the fire is enough, Shi Xuan began to meditate on the steps of the soul leaving the body. The soul climbed higher and higher in the purple mansion, just like climbing a cliff. When it reached the top, it gathered all its strength and jumped down suddenly.
With a roar, Shi Xuan felt that what he saw was different from the past. The room was surrounded by fog, the left side was cold, and the right side was hot. There was a strong wind from left to right, and a thunder from right to left. The soul actually felt dissipated. At this time, a burst of sandalwood came, and Shi Xuan suddenly woke up. The strong wind and thunder suddenly drilled into his body and disappeared completely.
The room was the same as before, except that there was another Shi Xuan sitting cross-legged behind him. Shi Xuan then realized that he had successfully broken through the barrier and reached the state of soul leaving the body.
Shi Xuan floated lightly in front of his body. The sandalwood in the air made him feel that his soul was more solid, not like before when it felt faintly scattered.
Shi Xuan's soul was only slightly humanoid. With a thought, it turned into its previous appearance. With a sigh, it turned into its current appearance. After carefully observing the current state of his soul, Shi Xuan found that there were a few more ancient and mysterious inscriptions in his soul, which looked like talismans but not talismans.
The inscriptions were connected by the essence of his soul. To be precise, they were part of his soul. After Shi Xuan carefully identified them, he found that each inscription was a mixture of ancient thunder patterns and ancient cloud seals, which seemed to represent some kind of magical power.
Shi Xuan focused his mind on these inscriptions, and some information suddenly appeared in his mind. It turned out that since these inscriptions were the essence of his soul, the information they carried was naturally a part of himself. There was no need to think about what it was. It was just that he was not used to this state.
Shi Xuan knew before that after the soul leaves the body, it will directly communicate with the world for the first time. According to the essence of the soul, the practice method, and certain laws between heaven and earth, it will produce miraculous minor supernatural powers. Except for the two basic minor supernatural powers, the other minor supernatural powers are different. Of course, people who practice the same practice method will have most of the same other minor supernatural powers, but there will be one or two differences.
Basic minor supernatural powers refer to the minor supernatural powers produced by the special state of the soul. Everyone has the same two minor supernatural powers, namely Yin Yang Eyes (that is, the primary heavenly eyes) and Qi Wang.
Other minor supernatural powers, some people have one or two, some people have four or five, generally speaking, most of them are between two and four. Like Shi Xuan, he belongs to the top state, and has five other minor supernatural powers. So with Yin Yang Eyes and Qi Wang, Shi Xuan has a total of seven inscriptions.
Shi Xuan's five minor supernatural powers are: Xiao You Qing Feng Dun, Jin Ren Shen Feng Zhan, Shang Qing Shou Shu Pivot Thunder, Jin Long Armor Curse and Invisibility Qi.
Xiaoyou Qingfeng Dun is a method of escaping by incarnating the breeze. It comes and goes like the wind, very fast. Even when Xiaoyou Qingfeng Dun is cultivated to the sixth level of magic, it can ride the wind and fly into the sky, traveling more than 3,000 miles a day.
There are four types of Taoism (magic), namely magic, Taoism, immortal magic (immortal magic), and the Great Dao. The latter are all fundamentally leapfrog than the former. Some magics are at the level of Taoism or immortal magic as soon as they are practiced, because the cultivators have directly learned the essence.
These four magics are divided into nine levels. After each magic is cultivated to perfection in the ninth level and the essence of the magic is comprehended, it can be promoted. For example, after the magic is cultivated to the ninth level, and the essence of the magic is comprehended, it can be promoted to Taoism.
Immortal magic and the Great Dao are encountered only in the realm of Yuanshen. Without reaching the level of Yuanshen Zhenren and experiencing the pass of life and death, immortal magic and the Great Dao cannot be learned and promoted.
In the Qi training stage, most of the time, magic is used, but only when you reach the Jindan realm, can you talk about practicing magic, because only when you reach the Jindan realm can you engrave the magic pattern on the soul through visualization, and combine it with the soul essence and magic power. At this time, the magic can also be called supernatural power.
The "small" in the innate minor supernatural power means that it is only combined with the soul essence, not with magic power. After all, magic power is the product of the combination of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and its own internal energy in the Qi-inducing realm.
However, the innate minor supernatural power can also be practiced now, after all, some magic has been engraved on the soul through the first communication with heaven and earth. Although it has not yet combined with magic power, it is just that the speed of practice is slower, the speed of display is slower, and there is some turnover in application.
Therefore, the magic that Shi Xuan knows now, except for the innate minor supernatural power, can only be practiced when he reaches the Jindan stage. Before that, they are only first-level magic.
After reaching the Jindan stage and starting to practice magic, the time of practice varies due to the differences in the magic itself. Generally speaking, it only takes a few days to practice to the second stage, nearly a month to practice to the third stage, more than half a year to practice to the fourth stage, more than a year to practice to the fifth stage, about four years to practice to the sixth stage, nearly ten years to practice to the seventh stage, twenty years to practice to the eighth stage, and about forty years to practice to the ninth stage.
As for those who learn to be Taoist magic, they are either the methods of the sect or they are hard to come by. Shi Xuan's "Baolu" has a few of them, even immortal magic and the great way, but those Taoist magics are marked as not to be practiced until the Jindan stage, and forcing them will only lead to death. However, the magical powers that are practiced by borrowing external objects are marked as Taoist magic! And you can practice one in the out-of-body stage!
The practice of magic here is similar to the sacrifice of prohibitions. They are all based on their own skills, and the talismans are added in sequence every day, and then they are nurtured. So not all the time in a day is used to practice this magic or sacrifice this prohibition. Only when you encounter a pass, you need to retreat for a long time to practice it in one go.
PS: I sent the revised manuscript to my work QQ before going to bed last night, but I didn’t receive it today. I don’t know if I sent it to the wrong person or it was swallowed by Tencent == Fortunately, there is a draft in the office, and it has only been revised now to be completed.
