Chapter 8: The Soul Out of the Shell (This Chapter is Free)

Compared with the "Martial Classic", the book "Tao Classic" is much more mysterious.

The whole article is full of mysterious principles, and most of them are moral and precepts. It is a warning to those who practice Taoism, how to have no distractions and not have evil intentions, and to abide by various precepts, such as loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, not spreading the Dharma indiscriminately, not revealing immortal arts, not doing evil, and there are many things like cause and effect.

Hong Yi skipped and ignored these things. Because he knew that the ancient Taoist immortal arts did not have these things. These precepts, morals and so on were all mixed with scholars in order to rely on imperial power.

Hong Yi has read the principles of scholars so well that he doesn't have to review them. What he is going to see now is the essence of the cultivation of ancient Taoist immortal arts. In his opinion, these morals and precepts are all seemingly wrong, which is different from the orthodox sutras, and they have no effect after reading them. After all, they are mixed four different things.

If you read too much, you will naturally remove the rough and big leaves. So Hong Yi reads books very quickly.

"Hey, can you visualize the shell method of the pagoda? Bathing, handwriting, chanting scriptures, mantras, gestures? These methods can calm the mind and then the soul will come out of the shell?"

Just as Hong Yi was watching it with all his eyes, suddenly, a long-term practice method caught his eye.

The practice method recorded in the article is very complicated. It is called "The Method of Visualizing the Shell of the Pagoda".

It is a way to leave the soul out of your body. First, you need to bathe and clean your body, then sit quietly, recite mantras, and pinch your hand techniques. After waiting for your heart to calm down, you can visualize the seven-story pagoda, and you step up step by step, and suddenly jump up on the highest level. The soul is out of the shell.

The mantras above are very complicated and the gestures are very complicated. You can feel dizzy at first glance. It can be imagined that it takes a long time to practice.

"What a complicated spell, hand trick. But..."

Even if Hong Yi saw these hand techniques, mantras, and those mantras, there were some precepts. If you think about it, you will feel that you have a big headache. You can't memorize and practice it at all.

"Hmm?" Hong Yi suddenly remembered a comment in Caotang's notes.

"The great way is simple, and those Taoists have to come up with complicated hand techniques and mantras. In fact, bathing, chanting mantras and hand techniques are all a way to calm the mind. Once a scholar sits down, his mind will naturally be as calm as water and he doesn't want those things at all."

After thinking about this, Hong Yi felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There is a table next to the stone room, with pen, ink, paper and ink on it.

Hong Yi sat on the stool at the table, pouring water and grinding ink. Listening to the sound of grinding ink "Huohuo, Huohuo, Huohuo...", his mood gradually calmed down.

After settled down, Hong Yi spread out the paper and wrote three words "quiet" on the paper.

Between writing, the expression is peaceful.

Although Hong Yi cannot achieve the state where the great scholars can be as calm as water as they sit down, he can calm down through a series of actions of grinding ink and writing.

After settled down, Hong Yi closed his eyes and visualized that there was a seven-story pagoda above his head. When he reached the top floor, he suddenly jumped hard!

"Huh? No soul has emerged? Is it okay?"

After Hong Yi imagined that after leaping, he opened his eyes, but did not notice any abnormalities. He was still himself, and he still felt something when he pinched his hands.

The surrounding environment has not changed.

"Why can't the soul come out of the shell? Is there any key point? Could it be..."

Hong Yi calmed down again and calmed down. After trying once, he still couldn't do it.

So he fell into deep thought.

"Pressing onto the pagoda and jumping out... The key point should be here..." Hong Yi comprehended this method of practicing.

“Have…”

Hong Yi suddenly realized in his heart.

He closed his eyes and remembered the scene when he followed his mother to kick the "Baoyue Tower" in the first tower of Yujing City when he was a child.

There are thirteen floors of the "Baoyue Tower", one by one, almost overlooking Yujing. At that time, my mother held her hand and arrived at the roof of the building. The wind blew. Seeing that the pedestrians below were only big with fists, she felt dizzy and her legs were weak.

“That’s how it feels…”

Hong Yi said in his heart: "Jump out, jump out..."

Although it was an illusion, Hong Yi still shivered when he recalled his childhood. Suddenly, he turned his heart and jumped up violently! He jumped downstairs!

Boom!

Heaven and earth are no longer heaven and earth!

With this thought, he jumped off the cliff in the illusion. Hong Yi suddenly felt his body lightening, as if he was floating gently. The scenery in front of him was still a scene, with books on all sides and stone caves on all sides.

But, the only difference is!

But Hong Yi saw his body!

To be precise, he was light and floating on his head without any weight, and saw his body.

My body breathed weakly, my eyes closed, as if I was asleep, and I seemed to have fainted.

"Our soul has left the body!"

A thought rose in Hong Yi's heart.

Hong Yi was not panicked, and his thoughts changed: "It is no big deal for people who are rumored to be weak in their bodies when they are sleeping in their nights."

After looking around, the scenery was as usual. He flipped through the book with his hand, but found that his soul could not flip through the book at all. Obviously, the soul was an invisible and qualitative thought.

Take a look.

There is no shadow under the light, as if it does not exist at all.

Invisible and intangible.

"Are you dreaming or the soul has emerged?"

Hong Yi was wondering again whether he was dreaming and falling asleep.

Because in sleep, such things happen sometimes, you see your own body.

However, it is unconscious in the sleep, that is, for a moment, that is, it is impossible to experience it. But now it is done by oneself. You can experience the feeling of jumping out of your mind.

This feeling is very mysterious and unbelievable.

Huhu! Huhuhu!

Suddenly, a burst of blew in from outside the stone chamber, and there was a strong cold.

When the wind blows on his body, Hong Yi feels that he is standing naked in the snow and ice. He is trembling with coldness and will be moved to death at any time!

At the same time, he seemed to be a drowning person who could not swim in the water and fell into the vast ocean and was about to be destroyed at any time.

Helpless, powerless.

It feels very uncomfortable and horrible.

"No wonder, the scriptures say that the body is a treasure raft that crosses the sea of ​​suffering. It turns out that the soul of the soul leaves the body, just like a person who falls into the sea from a boat, so terrifying!"

At this moment, Hong Yi had this thought in his mind and eagerly returned to his body.

It is not an easy thing to make the soul come out of the shell, it is such a dangerous place outside!

However, I couldn't move at all, as if I was frozen, drowning was swept into the vortex, exhausted.

The mind gradually blurred.

"It turns out that the soul is so dangerous..." Hong Yi felt that he was about to lose his soul.
