Volume 1 Fortunately, I met the immortal who first enlightened me, and then went to Xiangyan to seek the true Dharma. Chapter 7: Practicing Dharma in the Palace and Seeing the Spring Essence
Watch the rain curtain by the spring on the top of the mountain, and collect the clouds and mist on the cliff in front of the palace.
Although he had no wife, He Zimei, to accompany him, he slept on the couch leaning against pine and bamboo.
——Visiting the side peak of Xuantai and viewing the cave house·Miro
Miro's cave is located on the top of the mountain. The overall shape is built to imitate the mountain, blending in with the quiet environment around it. On the rock wall beside the cave entrance, there are lush green vines and creepers.
On the right is a flat area with a platform in the middle. The raised area near the cliff has been trimmed to become a Dharma platform ten feet long and wide.
There is a magical spring on the left, the water is clear and misty, and it is dotted with green bamboos all year round, making it even more magical.
A wisp of clear air surrounded the entire cave.
Among the many caves prepared by the sect for inner disciples, this one is not the best, but it is very suitable for Miro.
The most important thing is that the previous owner of this cave has been gone for ten years. Not only did he leave behind a sufficiently complete infrastructure, but after being vacant for many years, the remaining energy inside had long since dissipated. Miro only needed to do some simple tidying up before he could move in.
He took out the jade token representing his identity and chanted a spell. Layers of spiritual light, like water waves, spread outwards with the jade token as the center.
After a moment, a beam of water light rose into the air from the spiritual spring and turned into a palm-sized fish. It carried the water vapor and landed in front of Miro, staring with its big watery eyes and making a gesture similar to lowering its head.
"I am the spirit of the cave nurtured by the spiritual spring here. My name is Aquan. Nice to meet you, Master Miro."
"It's actually a spring spirit?"
Mi Luo was a little surprised to see A Quan. When he was in the outer sect, he heard that the caves of the inner sect disciples all had housekeepers and servants.
All along, Miro had always thought that this housekeeper and servant was a first-class spell spirit and talisman spirit with condensed magic.
I didn't expect that my own cave was actually a spring spirit.
You should know that the elves born from this kind of spring water have very high requirements for their living environment. If the spring water is overused or polluted, it may cause them to die.
Miro looked at the spring beside his own cave, then looked at A Quan, feeling a little worried.
According to his original idea, he wanted to plant his own spiritual pine beside the spiritual spring, and then cultivate some simple spiritual plants, so that he could harvest them when he returned from going out.
But if the spring water has already given birth to elves, this idea will not work.
As if sensing Mi Luo's thoughts, A Quan hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, sir. Although I was conceived by this spiritual spring, I have practiced for three hundred years and have gotten rid of the constraints of this spiritual spring. You can use it freely. If you are worried about the impact, you can leave the work related to the spiritual spring to me. I have received the first-class evaluation from the sect's instructor in the care and cultivation of spiritual plants, the use of spiritual springs, and the planning of caves."
As he spoke, A Quan swayed in the air. His small tail rolled up streams of mist and projected several certificates.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Miro did not hesitate to hand over his spiritual pine tree to A Quan, and then followed A Quan into the cave to listen to it introduce the current situation of the cave.
"Although the interior of the entire cave was built according to the sect's standards, the previous owner had high requirements for details, and the actual situation of the cave is one or two levels higher than the sect's standards. There is currently a quiet room, a study, an alchemy room, three storehouses... In addition, there is also an expanded kitchen. Among them, except for the kitchen, each room has the basic formation prepared by the sect. If the master wants to change it, he needs to go to Deming Peak and tell him in advance."
A Quan took Mi Luo for a walk in the cave, demonstrated the lighting and formation layout of each room, and briefly introduced the spiritual materials used. Then he came to the outside of the cave and continued explaining while swimming in the air.
"Outside the cave, in addition to a platform for practicing magic, a magic platform for gathering energy, and a sufficient area for specific spiritual plants, we have also built four acres of spiritual fields and a spiritual spring. If you need anything, you can also let me know. There are six acres of open space around the cave that can be used freely. As long as it does not exceed the standards required by the sect, we can freely build the buildings we need or plant spiritual plants according to our needs."
Ah Quan paused here and continued, "The bamboo growing beside the spiritual spring is the result of the reproduction of the spiritual bamboo roots left by the previous generation. It has been nourished by the spring water over the years and has barely recovered some of its spiritual energy. It can be considered a spiritual material. If you need it, you can use it. If you don't like the spiritual bamboo, you can remove it and plant spiritual pine there."
"It's not easy for spiritual bamboo to grow, so there's no need to uproot it. Just arrange the location of the spiritual pine."
Miro saw that A Quan seemed to have some feelings for the spiritual bamboo, so he naturally would not be the bad guy. After explaining it to him, he came to the platform for practicing magic, opened the surrounding magic restrictions, and flipped through the three magics he had chosen.
Among them, the practice of observing qi cannot be achieved in a day. It takes years and months to see the effect, so let's leave it aside for now.
Taking medicine is more used to assist in digestion of pills and food. Cultivation is also combined with diet and Qi training, which can also be put aside for now.
Miro picked up the last spell, Wind Control, and began to try to practice it.
"Valuing emptiness and advocating the mysterious, grasping the essence and holding the root, forgetting both existence and non-existence, all differences are one, pure and empty, inaction... strive to be high and not compete, and be in harmony with heaven and earth. Move in the utmost emptiness, wander the mind in the great nothingness, gallop outside the square, walk without a door, listen to the soundless, see the invisible, not bound by the world, not tied to the customs..."
Recite the mantra silently in your heart and make hand gestures to attract the vital energy.
It was normal at first, but when the first wisp of vital energy fell into Miro's control, wind suddenly arose on the platform, raising clouds of dust. The vital energy around it was like koi fish being fed by someone, seeing food, and rushed towards Miro frantically.
In the blink of an eye, strong winds surged and swept in all directions, stirring up the magical bans around the platform and suppressing the vital energy.
Runes glowed with precious light and appeared and disappeared under the impact of the vital energy. A Quan was also alarmed and ran over.
After a cup of tea, the vitality around him finally recovered, and Miro, who was previously unprepared, was covered in dust and looked very embarrassed.
Mi Luo, who sent
After thinking for a while, Miro recalled that Yun Changkong once told him that he was a Zhuanzhou Daoist body and was more talented in casting spells than ordinary people.
However, before building the foundation, because Miro did not have the ability to cast spells directly and his understanding of his own turning boat body was not clear enough, he did not realize that when he cast spells, he could easily draw on the vitality of heaven and earth, which consumed little energy but increased his strength several times.
The characteristics of this Taoist body caused Miro to try to cast a spell. Although he was clearly following the standards recorded in the jade slip, it resulted in an outcome that was unclear whether to call it a success or a failure.
In the next few days, Miro searched for information about the Zhuanzhou Dao body while trying to practice various techniques.
If one can understand the principles of heaven and earth, know the relationship between yin and yang, and see where the spirit is hidden, then fate can be changed, life can be saved, and heaven and earth can be reversed.
This is the Miaoyou school’s explanation of the turning boat path, and Milo’s practice is just as described in this passage.
Miro has an inexplicable intuition about the laws and principles of the universe and the rules of vital energy. Every time he casts a spell, he is always in the most harmonious state. Now, all the spells he comes into contact with, he can cast them successfully in one go, and with considerable power.
At the same time, Miro instinctively knew how to follow the laws of the changes of yin and yang, and the circulation of essence, energy and spirit, and to mobilize the most vital energy with the least amount of effort.
This seems to be a good thing, but it also makes the experience of Miaoyou Sect in practicing magic basically useless to Miro.
It was difficult for him to control the power of the spells he unleashed. Many introductory spells used to assist in daily life would become extremely lethal in his hands.
The fire technique of creating flames for ignition and lighting, after conforming to the principle of the changes of yin and yang, is not only difficult to extinguish , but also has a certain adhesion ability. It is even more powerful than the fire spell that can ignite mountains and forests.
It is usually used to put down books, or at most move a chair. When Miro tried it, his vitality was in accordance with the law and he summoned the book and the stone table together, almost hitting himself.
After repeated attempts, even Miro himself would not be affected by the many spells and the direct damage caused by the impact on his vital energy.
But if something like a flying stone table comes, you still have to dodge it.
After repeated humiliating experiences and the consumption of repairs, Miro finally decided to put the practice of magic on hold and first take care of his new magic weapon, the Golden Money Sword, and replace the existing talismans in his hand.
Before that, Miro needed to go to Xuantai Peak to borrow some relevant information.
