Qin Tiexin put Ming'an on the bed and tucked him in. The child turned over, facing inward, with his little fists curled up beside his face, and his breathing gradually became steady.
He stood by the bed for a while, listening to the even breathing, then turned to sit on the futon and took out the Jade Slip from his sleeve.
Jade Slip is warm and moist, with five small characters "Sacred Object Qi-Sensing Instruction" engraved on the surface, with simple and round strokes.
He had already read it once during the day. The secret is Marquis Lin's simplified and improved entry-level induction method. It does not require any cultivation or advanced skills. It only does one thing: let the monks open their perception with the Spiritual Qi surge throughout the body, and touch Golden Core Sacred Relic's Principle breath from a distance.
There are only two thresholds, 70% of the spiritual liquid, Foundation Establishment is stable, and the Daoist mind is not chaotic.
Qin Tiexin At present, the spiritual liquid is just at 70%. With this secret, he is stuck at the lowest level.
If it were another 10% lower, it would not even be able to reach the threshold. No wonder Marquis Lin wanted to question his own cultivation level at that time.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, going through the cultivation steps recorded in Jade Slip in his mind.
Cultivation is divided into three steps.
The first step is to calm down and return to the field. Calm down and concentrate, get rid of distracting thoughts. Take back all the scattered Spiritual Qi Dantian around your body, let the spiritual liquid settle down and stop being restless. Your own aura is completely calm, and separated from the chaotic Spiritual Qi outside.
Qin Tiexin Touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth and breathe softly and long. The pool of spiritual liquid in Dantian slowly calms down, and the ripples that were slightly caused by thinking calm down in circles. Finally, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the white-gold pearl light deep in Dantian.
The second step is to fill the body with spiritual tide. Run your own Qi Refining Cultivation Method, and at the same time activate the Method Formula in Jade Slip. Use your thoughts to cause the Dantian spiritual liquid to surge, turning into a continuous Spiritual Qi tide.
Spiritual Qi starts from Dantian, spreads along the meridians, and washes all the limbs, bones, skin, muscles, bones, and acupoints all over the body. There is no need to deliberately control those small meridians, just keep Spiritual Qi the whole body surging and circulating, so that the whole person is transparent inside and outside, and the whole body is immersed in the breath of his own true energy.
Qin Tiexin did this step extremely slowly.
He closed his eyes and ran "Primordial Unity Instruction", cooperating with Qi Sensing Instruction, Spiritual Qi and moving from Dantian together, smoothly throughout his body. Golden, wood-colored, water-colored, fire-colored, earth-colored, the five attributes of spiritual power were twisted together into a mixed color, flowing slowly in the meridians, and every acupoint was soaked through.
The third step is to relax and feel the heaven. After the Spiritual Qi has completely circulated throughout the body, relax the mind slightly without constricting or suppressing. Run the Method Formula in Jade Slip, and let the overflowing Spiritual Qi naturally spread outward, forming a light aura field around the body.
This layer of charm is the Discovery Network, and it is also the most difficult step in this Method Formula.
After the detection net is formed, as long as there is Golden Core Sacred Relic within the sensing distance, its Principle aura will immediately respond, tremble, and pull with the Spiritual Qi surging around the body, thus generating a reaction.
To put it bluntly, it is to transfer your Qi Refining Cultivation Method characteristics to the surface of your body in a special way.
As soon as the breath of spiritual power, Spirit Root, Cultivation Method is released, the holy object that matches itself will respond.
The deeper the match, the stronger the response.
This Method Formula is actually not difficult. With the techniques in it, Qin Tiexin can operate freely with just a little knowledge.
But the most difficult thing about this Method Formula is consumption.
He tried to run it completely, but it only took a stick of incense. Before a complete detection network could be formed, the spiritual power in Dantian was mostly empty.
He had to stop, take out Spirit Stone from the storage ring, and replenish his spiritual power bit by bit. Holding Spirit Stone in his palm, the white gold beads in Dantian rotated in reverse, attracting the spiritual power in Spirit Stone, and merged into Dantian along the meridians of his arm.
Once it's full, practice again.
It was not until the middle of the night that he became familiar with the three-step method and no longer felt awkward. The connection between each step became much smoother, and the gap in the flow of spiritual power was shortened by more than half.
Qin Tiexin collected his power and opened his eyes.
The spiritual liquid has increased by an imperceptible amount. Although it still cannot form a complete detection network, the grasp of this secret is more stable.
He glanced at Ming'an on the bed. The child was sleeping soundly, with his face pressed against the pillow and a ball of flesh squeezed out.
Qin Tiexin got up, sat cross-legged on the couch and adjusted his breath until dawn.
During the day, while Qin Tiexin continued to practice, he would chat with Ming'an.
He found that Ming'an lived really well in Lin Residence. His face was rosy, he had grown a little longer, and he also had some fat on his body. He was not as thin as before.
I don't know if it's because of "Clear Heart Sutra", but Ming'an is not only physically stronger, but also energetic. He jumps up and down every day, always with a smile on his face. His memory and understanding of Buddhist scriptures are also much better than before.
Qin Tiexin gave him the little Storage Bag. There were already many scriptures stuffed in it. Ming'an treated it like a treasure and carried it with him wherever he went.
"Ming'an, have you practiced well?" Qin Tiexin asked.
Ming'an nodded vigorously, nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice. "Yeah, senior brother, Ming'an practices well every day, Ming'an is very obedient."
Qin Tiexin looked at him and asked, "So Ming'an, do you think it is better here or our small courtyard?"
Ming'an raised his face and said without thinking, "Anywhere is fine. As long as I am with my senior brother, Ming'an will be very happy."
Qin Tiexin was silent for a long time.
He looked up at the sky. There were a few clouds slowly drifting away in the sky above the yard.
"Ming'an." He suddenly spoke, his voice a little lower than usual, "If one day, senior brother is going to a place far, far away and will not come back for a long, long time. Are you willing to go with senior brother?"
Ming'an blinked and tilted his head. "How far is it? Is it further than Zhaoming Temple is here?"
"It's much further than Zhaoming Temple to get here."
Qin Tiexin knows in his heart that his days at Heavenly South Domain are numbered.
It has been almost a year since he and his senior brother came out. Once the one-year period is up, they will have to return to Falling Star City and follow the caravan back to Azure Xuan Region.
Although Ming'an is small, he is Heavenly South Domain's root, and his roots are here. Whether he can leave or not, he has to ask himself.
After Ming'an heard this, he ran over and hugged Qin Tiexin's thigh. His little arms were tightly wrapped, as if he was afraid that he would disappear in the next moment.
"Ming'an doesn't want to be separated from senior brother." He buried his face in Qin Tiexin's legs, his voice was muffled and stubborn, "Wherever senior brother goes, Ming'an will go."
Qin Tiexin touched his bald head, placed his palm on the round head, and rubbed it gently. The smooth touch came from the palm of his hand, warm and real.
"Then if senior brother wants to rebuild Zhaoming Temple, what about making you the abbot?"
He said this partly as a joke and partly as a test.
Ming'an, this child, has a deep affection for Zhaoming Temple. Sometimes in his dreams late at night, he would call Master with tears in his eyes. His voice was so small and broken that it made people's hearts tighten.
Ming'an always carries Master's spiritual plaque with him, and burns incense morning and night without interruption.
Qin Tiexin knows that his feelings for Zhaoming Temple are much deeper than his own. If he can rebuild Zhaoming Temple, maybe he can let Ming'an stay and save himself the hassle of running around.
At that time, I will entrust Marquis Lin and Madam Lin to help take care of it, but don't worry too much.
Ming'an let go of his hand, took a step back, shook his head, and nodded again.
"Ming'an is still too young to be an abbot." He said seriously, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something big.
"The abbot should be my senior brother. When Ming'an grows up to be as tall as his senior brother, Ming'an wants to be the elder of the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion and read Buddhist scriptures every day, and he will be very happy."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to gesture to the top of his head and then to Qin Tiexin's chest. The gap in between made him stick out his tongue.
Qin Tiexin said, "Then do you want to rebuild Zhaoming Temple? Senior brother can ask the emperor to help rebuild Zhaoming Temple."
Ming'an's eyes first lit up, like two black grapes being lit up. The bright light only flashed for a moment, then he shook his head and his voice became softer, as if he was saying something he had already figured out.
"Zhaoming Temple We are the only two senior brothers. Wherever we are, we are Zhaoming Temple."
Qin Tiexin looked at him, this child sometimes spoke more clearly than adults.
He squatted down, looked level with Ming'an, and reached out to touch his bare head again. Ming'an's face was very close, and there was still a childish look between his eyebrows, but the light in those eyes was so calm that he didn't look like a child.
"Sooner or later, senior brother will work with you to build a bigger Zhaoming Temple."
Ming'an listened, nodded heavily, grinned, his two front teeth were white.
