104. The mind is clear and untainted, and it is known to be constant

Xiaobai was alerted that he was infected by Wu Tong's emotions, and became irritable unconsciously frightened Huang Jing. He saw Huang Jing standing in front of him with tears in his eyes. He also felt apologized. He put the kettle on the coffee table and stood up and patted Huang Jing's shoulder and said, "I'm so sorry, I was distracted just now. Are you okay?"

"You scared me to death!" Huang Jing finally said something. When the kettle fell to the ground, she was indeed scared. She was kind enough to pour him tea. Why did Xiaobai suddenly become so fierce? Now when he heard Xiaobai's apology, he finally came to his senses. He stopped crying, but tears fell in his eyes. Xiaobai quickly reached out and put his arm around Huang Jing's shoulder and patted it, saying, "I'm not angry anymore, I'm not afraid anymore!"

Qingchen: "If you apologize, just apologize. Why are you hugging Sister Huang? Your body is covered with tea, which makes other people's clothes dirty!"

Zhuang Ru looked at Qingchen and couldn't help but smile, and said to the side: "Fortunately, Xiaobai's hand is about to catch the kettle, otherwise it would really burn people... A small thing wouldn't be like this, right? Xiaobai quickly go and change some clothes." A small storm passed like this.

That night, Xiaobai returned to his bedroom and sat there and recalled this. Fortunately, he was quick to learn about the spell and did not let the kettle fall to the ground or let the hot water sprinkle it out. Otherwise, a pot of hot water would really hurt people if it fell on Huang Jing's feet. Xiaobai figured out one thing, or it was to figure out one truth, that is, the word "knowing the constant" that Bai Mao said to him. This might be called enlightenment.

No type of practice is meditation and practice within one hour. Walking, sitting and lying down are all practices. He suppressed Wu Tong's mania with his concentration, but he should also pay attention to how this restlessness can be transformed into his own thoughts without being contaminated. Not only did he succeed if he handled Wu Tong at that time. Bai Shaoliu has a good mind and can reach a state of awareness of the past without consciously practicing, but this time it was different. He had to passively accept Wu Tong's emotional infection.

So what is the knowledge of constant? It means to reflect on yourself from time to time, so that the spiritual platform is clear and quiet without being contaminated by troubles, and finally reach a natural and uncontaminated state. This is the stage of the "conservation of desire": you can enter, guard, and break it. Thinking about this point, Xiaobai's behavior will not be abnormal anymore, but the irritable and depressed mood has not disappeared. People cannot be at peace by wanting to be at peace. Xiaobai's skill at this time has not reached the point, but he can only start by reflecting on his words and deeds at all times.

Xiaobai remembered Baimao's advice again, asking him to practice "internal breath and external feelings" at midnight and "outer environment and internal absorption" at midnight to complement each other. It seems that he should not be neglected. His practice started with the combination of body and spirit taught by Qingchen, and finally achieved the integration of body and spirit and the first way to get started. From the usual practice methods, it is generally necessary to first calm the body before the spirit can calm the mind, but if the spirit is not finally safe, the body will be difficult to stabilize. Baimao now requires his practice to be more focused on the shape at midnight and more focused on the spirit at midnight, so as to calm the mind with the body.

After thinking it through, he immediately did as he did it. Xiaobai changed his clothes and pushed the door open to go out. Huang Jing had already gone downstairs and went home. Qingchen and Zhuang Ru were still sitting in the living room talking. Seeing Xiaobai dressed neatly, he was surprised: "Are you going out? What else is there to do so late?"

"You guys have a good rest at home. I'll go out to practice martial arts at night and come back before dawn. Don't wait for me!" Xiaobai had nothing to hide, and he told the truth as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qingchen stood up: "I have to go out to practice qigong at night again, like before? Isn't it possible at home?" What she said before meant that Xiaobai had meditated on the beachfront bridge every night.

Bai Shaoliu: "I can't do it at home, I want to go to the bottom of the Yingliu River." Anyway, Zhuang Ru now knows that Xiaobai is an extraordinary person who practices all kinds of magical magic, so he no longer hides his words.

Zhuang Ru was startled: "The bottom of the river? You are going to run to the bottom of the river in this cold weather, and it's still midnight? Last time I went out in the middle of the night and said it was winter swimming, but I was sick for a week. Why did you go to the winter swimming again? Isn't it happening again? You were in a bad mood when you had supper today."

Bai Shaoliu smiled and explained: "This is my exercise. There will be no more trouble. I will be careful. From today on, I am afraid I will go out every night, so you don't have to worry about me."

Zhuang Ru: "Every night? Are you not spending the night at home?" When she said this, she obviously had other doubts in her heart.

Qingchen stood up and said, "Brother Xiaobai, I'll go with you!... You said you go to practice qigong, we should also know where you went to rest assured. Sister Zhuang, are you right?"

Zhuang Ru looked at Qingchen and Xiaobai, nodded and said, "I have to take care of you in the middle of the night to relax. Why don't I go with you too?"

Bai Shaoliu smiled bitterly: "It's better to go and take a look, but you'll feel relieved when you know it. Sister Zhuang, don't make a fuss. You have to work during the day. Besides, what does it look like when you run to the wilderness in the middle of the night? Who makes breakfast?"

Zhuang Ru: "Then wait, I'll prepare something. Do you want to drive there so far? Put everything in the car." She ran into the house and prepared a bath towel, blanket, thermos bottle with hot tea, white wine, portable hair dryer, etc., and packed a large bag and handed it to Qingchen. Just prepare it. Xiaobai didn't say anything. He didn't want to drive to Yingliuhe at night, which was no slower than driving, but Qingchen insisted on going with her, so she had to drive. Qingchen also took a piece of stuff, which was a vine grass cushion used to sit in her bedroom. It seemed that she had not forgotten her nightly practice.

The Yingliu River still flowed as usual, and there was no way to see the fierce fight that had happened here. The first thing Xiaobai did when he went to the bottom of the water was to touch something, of course it was his small shovel inserted into the stone. He had not had time to take it away that day, but unfortunately the hook rope was broken and could not be found again. He went into the water to find the reef but found it empty, and the shovel disappeared!

Bai Shaoliu was born with the ability to position in water, so he would not find the wrong place. He even touched the gap left by the shovel inserted into the rock, but he couldn't find the small shovel. Did you lose it? This small shovel was given by Luo Shuihan. Later, Xiaobai was born and died with him. Although it was a thing, he had feelings. It was really a pity to lose it.

If you can't find a small shovel, you still have to practice. Xiaobai lowered his body and sat cross-legged on a gentle reef at the bottom of the Yingliu River. The feeling of meditating in the water is completely different, because the existence of buoyancy is almost equivalent to sitting in the air. When you sit in, you can relax your whole body and not be nervous. First of all, you need not be nervous. Few people can do this underwater.

Hold your breath and concentrate and practice the method of "observing breath". How can you observe breath when you dive into the water and cannot breathe at all? This is what internal breath is? The sentence "the internal and external are mutually in touch, and the heaven and man are open and closed" is very mysterious. The first step to reach this state of self-consciousness is to experience the inner feeling, or a kind of "inner vision". Xiaobai sat under the water to experience the flow of vitality and spirit in his whole body, and the movement of the internal organs and meridians seemed to be clearly perceived in a strange state.

In fact, he had been able to do this, but he had never deliberately practiced this mental method. At this time, he was observing breath in the water, and his spiritual consciousness was unprecedentedly clear and clear. Xiaobai felt that his "perception" extended under the water, and everything around him, including flowing water, reefs and even the clear dust sitting on the shore could be "observed" in a strange state. This was a very quiet and thorough state, and he felt extremely subtle. He was unprecedentedly awake, as if everything within the extension of his spiritual consciousness could communicate with his strange breathing of his body and mind.

This feeling is very wonderful. He has had it since he was a child. For example, he can feel the water flow and the location of reefs and river banks underwater. It is an intuition that does not need to be seen with his eyes. However, the practice at this time allows this talent to be fully utilized, from spontaneous to self-consciousness, which is a completely different state. No wonder Baimao once praised his aptitude and blessings. This is really a method that is naturally suitable for him.

If a Kunlun practitioner heard him describe this state, he would smile and say, "No, good, the spiritual consciousness turned into spiritual awareness. Everyone has this spiritual awareness, but only practice can extract such a free body and mind." If a Western magician heard about this, he would also praise, "What a clever puppet eye technique!"

However, Xiaobai cannot have these distracting thoughts when practicing "internal and external sensations" underwater. He just entered this state and lowered the mysterious free body and mind in extreme silence. Obtaining this free body and mind is called the appearance of the primordial spirit in the alchemy. The so-called "yuan" word in the primordial spirit refers to the beginning of the spiritual consciousness and the beginning of the body and mind. In such a state, Xiaobai has forgotten all the irritability and depression in this day and has been transformed.

Qingchen on the shore disappeared after seeing Xiaobai enter the water and did not make any noise. If she talked about diving underwater, she could hold on for a long time. She found a shelter on the shore, put down her seat cushion and sat cross-legged, and still insisted on her own way of practicing form and spirit. However, just as Qingchen sat down, she immediately stood up and looked into the distance.

Qingchen's current situation is quite special. His cultivation level is still there but he cannot use any internal magic power. However, the spiritual sense is still sharp. He should be above Xiaobai in terms of cultivation. Someone came from a distance, and she discovered that there was no one here during the day. Who ran to this place in the middle of the night? While he was puzzled, a white figure came to the night. It was a woman wearing a pure white windbreaker. When Qingchen saw her figure from afar, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little nervous. This person was Gu Ying!

"It's you!" Qingchen whispered.

Gu Ying walked up to him and bowed to Qingchen and bowed: "Miss Qingchen, it's great that you're fine! Last time you saved us, I never had the chance to thank you for your life-saving grace. Today I can finally say thank you in person!"

As soon as she met, she thanked Qingchen. Qingchen couldn't be too aggressive to her and said lightly: "Actually, you don't have to thank me, I should thank you. It's me that I want to kill Hong Hequan myself. You took the initiative to help me and were injured."

Gu Ying: "My injury is nothing, it's fine long ago. I heard from Xiaobai that you were injured too. Now, your injury has healed?"

Qingchen's injury or her current special situation can't be seen on the surface. Qingchen was unwilling to admit to Gu Ying that she had lost her strength now, and nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

Gu Ying looked back at the white car parked on the river beach in the distance, smiled slightly, and pointed to Yingliu River: "Is Xiaobai below? Are you protecting the Dharma for him?"

Qingchen: "He is practicing under the water, you'd better not disturb him."

Gu Ying: "Of course I won't disturb his practice, just wait for him with you."

As soon as he said this, waves in the Yingliu River flipped, and a man flew out of the water and jumped onto the shore and stood in front of the two of them, saying, "Gu Ying, why are you here? Qingchen, give me the bath towel!"

Xiaobai felt the internal breathing underwater. He had just reached the state of internal and external sympathy. As soon as Gu Ying appeared, he "knowed" and immediately stopped the exercise and flew out from the bottom of the water. Gu Ying saw Xiaobai about to speak and suddenly turned slightly red. It turned out that Xiaobai was dressed in an indecent manner at this time, barefoot and only wore a pair of underwear. The underwear was wet and stuck to her body. Basically, she could see any outline clearly.

Xiaobai would definitely not go into the water wearing clothes. If Qingchen hadn't accompanied him, he would have fallen into the river barely and didn't even wear underwear. This was convenient and easy to do. But he didn't expect that it would jump out of the water and fall directly in front of Gu Ying. Seeing Gu Ying's reaction, he realized that his appearance was really shady. Qingchen glared at him and his face turned red. He went to the car and took a big bath towel and waved it to him and said, "Gu Ying has something to do to find you!"

Xiaobai wiped a few randomly, put the bath towel on his body and asked, "Ms. Gu, I found this place in the middle of the night. Is there anything urgent?"

Gu Ying: "Why are you calling me Miss Gu again?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Sorry, I forgot, I should have called you Gu Ying, is there anything you need to ask me?"

At this moment, I heard Qingchen snorting softly not far away. Gu Ying pretended not to hear and asked with a smile: "Did you leave something behind at the bottom of the Yingliu River?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Yes, did you take my little shovel?"

Gu Ying: "I took it away, and I knew you would come back to get it, so I told you."

Bai Shaoliu: "Thank you so much, where is the little shovel?"

Gu Ying: "The hook rope behind the shovel is broken and needs to be repaired again. I will not repair it. The shovel was specially customized for you by Mr. Luo. Only he can find someone to repair it, so I will hand it over to Mr. Luo. It should be repaired in the next few days, and Mr. Luo will give it to you with his own hands."

Bai Shaoliu: "He gave it to me with his own hands?"

Gu Ying: "Yes, Xiaoxi invites you to visit Luoyuan and attend a family dinner. I came here to deliver the invitation."

Bai Shaoliu: "You are so interesting to send the invitation to the river in the middle of the night! What kind of family dinner? Why do you suddenly remember to invite me? Do you still need an invitation to have a meal?"

Gu Ying: "You are not the only one who invites you, but also my teacher, Miss Wiener, Marquis of Lington from the Kingdom of Spia, and Mr. Feng Junzi, who has a good relationship with you. Although it is just a supper, it is not an ordinary supper. It should be a social or diplomatic occasion, but it is just a private dinner. Xiao Xi really hopes that you can go, and I also hope you can be present. You will not refuse while holding a grudge against Mr. Luo, right?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Holding? I have never hated Mr. Luo. It is a good thing that he invites me to dinner... I know Marquis of Lington. Miss Wiener and Mr. Feng are going to sit at the same table to have dinner? Interesting! I will definitely go, thank you for your invitation."

Gu Ying took out an invitation from her pocket and handed it to Bai Shaoliu and said, "This is an invitation written by Xiaoxi. It's Saturday night. You'd better go early and go in the afternoon. Mr. Luo has something else to do when he finds you."

He stretched out a hand to pick up the invitation, but Qingchen had already walked over and said, "I'll take it, his hands are wet."

Gu Ying gave the invitation to Qingchen without saying anything, nodded politely to her, turned around and said, "Then I will say goodbye and wait for you in Luoyuan on the weekend."

Gu Ying left. This was the first time she saw Qingchen's strange face. She was also surprised, but she did not show any disobedient expression from beginning to end. After she left, Qingchen took the invitation and bulged her cheeks and said, "Luo Xi invites you to dinner. Can I go with me?"

Xiaobai scratched his wet hair: "You must go there, then go together. Isn't it just a meal? Just add a seat."

Qingchen touched his sharp ear and said, "Forget it, I didn't invite me, just say this to you, I'm not really going... It's really interesting that Mr. Feng and Avtena are going to meet. You go and have a look. Actually, I haven't seen the legendary senior Feng Junzi, and I'm very curious."

Bai Shaoliu: "What's the curiosity? He looks no different from others, but he just feels very unusual. How do you describe it? It should be 'Budian', yes! It's just the word 'Budian', and many of my supernatural powers are useless to him." His behavior was unconsciously infected by Wu Tong's emotions, and he woke up and his behavior was no longer abnormal. He only returned to stability after practicing at the bottom of the river. When he mentioned Mr. Feng, he suddenly thought of the word 'Budian', it seemed that this was indeed a transcendent state.

Qingchen: "Is it so magical?"

Bai Shaoliu: "It's not easy to describe it. It's easy to see him. I'll take you there one day. He often stays with Senior Xiao Zhengrong. Senior Xiao, you know the naval officer who fought with you in this Yingliu Valley. The sword he used at that time was Mr. Jiefeng."

Qingchen: "That sword has a sharp murderous aura and special spirituality. It is simply a legendary magic weapon. It looks like a magic weapon and a weapon, but it is different from my purple gold spear. Is Mr. Feng a sword like this, and is he also a martial arts master?"

Bai Shaoliu smiled: "No, he is not. Mr. Feng is not very good at martial arts. You will know when you see it."

Just the next day after Xiaobai received the invitation, it was almost eight o'clock, a car parked downstairs in a residential community in Qixianling, Wuyou City on the side of the road. The driver got out of the car, opened the rear door with his left hand and held it on the upper side of the door frame with his right hand. He stood up straight with his upper body and legs together. He knew that he had received professional training by looking at his standard movements. A beautiful blonde girl walked out of the car, looked at the community, and walked into a unit. She didn't know who opened the corridor door and didn't close. She went upstairs directly.

Xiao Yunyi had just finished packing the dishes in the kitchen and was about to enter the room to watch TV when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. The knocking sound was very rhythmic and sounding, both light and heavy, just like a piano key. She ran to open the door but was stunned. A blond and blue-eyed exotic woman stood outside the door.

Avtana saw that the person who opened the door was a woman, about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a slightly pointed face and a big chin with bright eyes. She was looking at her curiously, and the two looked at Avtana in a daze.

Before anyone could speak, he heard the gentleman who had a stroke in the study and shouted unhappily: "Who moved my bookshelf again!"

The voice scared both of them. Xiao Yunyi turned her head and said loudly: "Husband, what's wrong?"

Feng Junzi was sitting in front of the computer in the study and wrote an article when he suddenly wanted to check the information. He kicked his feet and didn't stand up. He slid to the bookshelf behind him with a wheel. He didn't turn his head back and pulled out a book from the bookshelf. He moved quite casually. He originally wanted to draw a book "New Words on the World", but when he got it, he saw it was "A Brief History of Time". If he draws the book on his bookshelf, he must have been moved by someone, so he shouted in dissatisfaction.

Hearing Xiao Yunyi's words, Feng Junzi ran out of the study without putting on slippers in his home clothes, patted the book in his hand and said, "Did your mother come to clean the room again? Why do you need to tidy up the bookshelf?...Huh, Miss Vina, why are you here to my house?" He just said halfway through his words and saw Avtana standing at the door.

Avtina sighed secretly, feeling like she had knocked over the Wuwei Bottle and felt all kinds of feelings in her heart. On the surface, she said politely: "Hello, Mr. Feng, I came to visit him specifically. Is this your wife?"
Chapter completed!
