Chapter 18: Visualizing the Deities Shi Feizhe looked at the "Record of the Divine Shadow of Youquan" with great satisfaction. This secret book was filled with simplified Chinese characters, internet terms, and a large number of pinyin even changed "有" into "U1", "无故" into "无瓜", and abbreviated "真气" into "ZQ". Even aliens would not be able to understand this secret book. The world is full of ups and downs, what if I get myself into trouble somewhere? When others get this book, their expressions will be very interesting! Stretching lazily, Shi Feizhe looked at the secret book with great satisfaction. When he looked up, he saw that it was getting dark and other people in the accounting office were already urging him to get off work and go to eat. Before he knew it, he had been transcribing for the entire afternoon. Oh, I really miss the comfortable days of slacking off until I get off work to eat! Shi Feizhe smiled and went to eat with the accountant. After a day's work, he also knew that these two people, one named Zhang Lianglong and the other named Wang Chengfeng, were from Sancai Town. Shi Feizhe was so full after not having dinner for a long time that he couldn't help but sigh that it was a blessing to be full. After finishing his meal, Shi Feizhe walked towards his rental house. Only then did he realize that Sancai Town had become more lively at night. Some were people from Sancai Village who had spent a day visiting the Forest of Steles and were returning to Sancai Town, and some were people who worked in Sancai Village and were returning to Sancai Town. In addition, there was no curfew in the town, and hotels, gambling dens, and brothels were also open, making the town seem different from the bustle in Yiyang City.
At night in Yiyang City, shops are closed and there are shouts of killing. When I returned to the rented house, the landlord couple had already gone to bed. After having a full meal, Shi Feizhe can finally start practicing "The Record of the Divine Shadow of the Nether Spring"! After escaping from Yiyang City, he met Hua Xiaomei by chance and came to Sancai Town. After many twists and turns, he finally learned about "The Record of the Deep Spring God" from Hua Xiaomei. Without Hua Xiaomei, he didn't know when he would be able to obtain a martial arts technique. Even if he had acquired the martial arts skills, Shi Feizhe would not have been able to practice the "Blood and Qi Gate" training method without the food at Sancai Manor. There is no way. You really can’t practice martial arts if you don’t have enough food. The poor are good at literature but good at martial arts. To strengthen the blood and qi, one not only needs to eat a lot of meat, but also needs to take a medicinal bath in order to succeed in practice. Many people were stuck at this level. Martial artists are brave and aggressive, and it is hard to say whether it is because only by fighting can they obtain the resources for training. "Record of the Divine Shadow of Youquan" corresponds to the blood and qi gate, and is divided into four training methods: rewarding good punches, punishing evil kicks, Yinlu stance, and checking stances. Shi Feizhe first started with Shangshan Quan, a vigorous and powerful boxing style with a peaceful internal energy, which is mainly used to strengthen the body and improve physical fitness. Shi Feizhe was sweating profusely after punching in a routine manner at the beginning. His physical fitness was too poor now, and he was lucky that he was not killed by that man's palm. The Punishment Kick is a method of stimulating the body with high-intensity training, which requires basic physical fitness and medicinal baths to avoid hurting the body. Otherwise, if you practice the Punishment Kick for a while, you might end up hurting yourself. The Yin-Lv Stance requires that the Rewarding Good Fist and the Punishing Evil Leg be practiced to a certain degree, and that the physical fitness and flexibility reach a certain level before one can stand in the stance. Combined with a special breathing method, it induces the vibration of the bones and meridians, thereby strengthening the blood and qi. After the first three have been mastered, Shi Feizhe has not yet understood the special boxing training method. He needs to wait until he reaches this stage, when his mentality and body are different, and then he can understand it. After just three punches, Shi Feizhe was sweating all over, his hands and feet were weak, and he could only sit in the yard and breathe heavily. He knew that he had reached his limit today. Martial arts are practiced in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. Only by practicing hard every day can you gain results. He is not the kind of person who can keep practicing by cheating! Given his physical condition, it would take him several months of training to improve. Fortunately, he is now a working ox and horse, with a stable environment and income. I think after working in Sancai Village for a few years, he will have the means to protect himself. He cannot practice the blood and qi barrier techniques, but he can still visualize the gods and practice the "spiritual barrier" techniques. I fell asleep while meditating the night before last, and I couldn’t fall asleep this time no matter what! He went to his room and read the visualization method carefully. How to calm the mind and gather distracting thoughts, how to visualize the sea of consciousness, how to use the mind to outline the gods, he read it carefully, and after reading it several times, he began to try. Sitting upright on the bed, Shi Feizhe looked up to the sky, silently gathering his thoughts. But people's thoughts are rolling all the time, and only the dead have no thoughts.
There is a trick to this step, which is to always think about one thing, focus on it, and thus eliminate distracting thoughts. In the visualization method, the first person that comes to mind is King Qin Guang, the first of the Ten Courts of Hell. Slowly, slowly, Shi Feizhe felt himself calming down. There was only darkness in his head, and a little light shining faintly. According to the records in the visualization method, this bright light is Shi Feizhe's "light of mind" and "light of spirit", it is Shi Feizhe's "I" and Shi Feizhe's "God"! At this time, Shi Feizhe's "god" did not manifest, it was just a ball of light. What he had to do was to use "God" as a pen to sketch out the appearance of King Qin Guang. Then, he used his imagination to replace King Qin Guang, and let his "God" become the King of Hell who controls life and death in the world and good and bad fortune in the underworld! The image of King Qin Guang is a leopard with eyes and a lion's nose, a long beard, a square crown on his head, and a hu tablet in his right hand in front of his chest. Shi Feizhe manipulated the "divine" light bit by bit and began to outline the appearance of King Qin Guang. There are two ways to visualize and sketch. One is to sketch part of the deity first, such as arms, legs and feet, and then complete it little by little. The other is to sketch directly and then fill in the details little by little. There is no difference between the two. The ultimate goal is to visualize the deity in more and more detail, and finally make it lifelike! Shi Feizhe chose the second option. He planned to use a few strokes to sketch out the general appearance of King Qin Guang. The result...he failed. The "divine" light moved, gently cutting through the dark sea of consciousness, and indeed could not leave any trace. I tried many times, even changing the outlining method, but it didn't work. what happened? Could it be that there was something wrong with my visualization method? Shi Feizhe exited the visualization state and took out the "Record of the Deep Spring God's Shadow" to read it carefully. After reading it several times, he found a few words that he had overlooked. "Harmony with God"! These four words mean that one should merge one's consciousness with the spiritual thought of visualization. In other words, the three views should be consistent. When ordinary people visualize gods, it is very easy for them to substitute themselves with the gods, but Shi Feizhe does not believe in gods! How can non-believers substitute gods? Especially the Ten Kings of Hell, there was only one picture in his mind. That is a monkey sitting in the palace of the King of Hell, stepping on the King of Hell with his boots. The King of Hell begged for mercy again and again: "God, please calm down, God, please calm down!" What to do? You can’t let me visualize the monkey! What to do when you encounter difficulties? Unlock amazing wisdom!
