Chapter 11 Summer Solstice
Summer solstice raindrops are worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Hazy raindrops hit the fields, which were bare and smelled of earth. Wheat ripens early in the south, and the new wheat has been harvested, tied into bunches, and planted in the fields.
Farmers greet each other on the field ridges, and oilseeds, vines and mustards are also being sown for harvest in late autumn.
Li family.
Li Tongya and Li Changhu looked forward to the stars and the moon, living their lives on their fingers, and finally looked forward to the summer solstice.
As soon as the sky turned gray, the two men took up the table and knelt in front of the case together with Li Xiangping.
The legal book is supported by the chilong-patterned mirror frame. On the table are the first new wheat harvested in the summer solstice, several types of melons and fruits, and three cups of tea made from the summer rain.
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison:
"Li Changhu/Li Tongya/Li Xiangping, disciples of the Li family, respectfully request Xuanming's wonderful method to calm the mind and practice Taoism."
"You should show your merits at the right time, and if you live up to your promises, you should be burned in a urn, and your body should be thanked by Taiyin."
The colorful flowers on the mirror were flowing, white light flashed continuously, and three white pills suddenly appeared in the mirror and flew towards the three of them.
The three people hurriedly sat down cross-legged and followed the method guidance talismans in the "Jie Yin Method" to receive the method.
Watching the white pill fall into the three-person Niwan Palace, Li Chijing withdrew his gaze, sat cross-legged, fell into deep concentration, looked at the white moonlight in the Qihai Cave, and thought:
"It's all refined based on the Dharma. Eighty-one rays of moonlight have been refined. On the summer solstice, the weather is about to start, and the sun is dimming. It's a good time to make a breakthrough!"
A calf is not afraid of tigers when it first emerges. With a thought in his mind, Li Chijing formed a seal with his hands, and the waves surged in the Qihai Cave. Eighty-one wisps of moonlight spiritual energy gathered rapidly, and they chased each other in the Qihai Cave, swimming tail to tail.
"Enter the Niwan Palace on the top to form one place, and go down to the twelve rings of the Chonglou... Therefore, it has the shape of soaring, with vitality curling up. It goes up to the twelve rings of the Chonglou, rising from the orifice under the tongue..."
Li Chijing silently recited the method of condensing the Xuanjing Wheel in the "Taiyin Breathing and Breathing Wheel Sutra". The moonlight jumped over the twelve floors, gathered in the Niwan Palace, condensed into liquid, and then flowed down one after another, in the Qihai Cave. Gather into a clear pool.
"rise!"
He shouted softly, and a bright silver arc of light emerged from the clear pool like the moon in the water. This arc of light was crystal clear, like an extremely thin crescent moon, and was extremely beautiful.
"The twelve-story tower penetrates the sea of qi, and the Xuanjing Wheel emerges from the clear pool."
Looking at such a scene, Li Chijing couldn't help but admire, and immediately activated the magic formula to solidify the Xuanjing Wheel, trying his best to restrain its shape.
It's just that time is flowing slowly, but the Xuanjing Wheel has yet to truly settle. The crescent moon is crystal clear, floating gently in the pool, sparkling and floating, looking like it will dissipate at any time.
Li Chijing was exhausted at this time, struggling to maintain the shape of the Xuanjing Wheel. Big drops of sweat slipped from his handsome face, soaking his light blue robe.
When he was in a dilemma, the clear pool in the Qihai Cave receded with a splash, and a white talisman pill suddenly flew up.
The talisman pill was round and bright, and it was fixed on the Xuanjing Wheel. The clear crescent moon suddenly stabilized its shape, and the magic power in the clear pool gradually stabilized. Li Chijing let out a long breath, and his luck came to an end.
After Xuanjing succeeded, the Yuehua spiritual energy in his body was transformed into Yuehua mana, and Li Chijing had become an immortal cultivator in the fetal breath realm!
He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Dharma Book on the case that was looming in the halo of the moon, and bowed before him.
"Given the immortal method, condensing the moonlight, and completing the Xuanjing, the Li family is extremely grateful for the kindness. Year after year, the incense continues and the sacrifices continue."
Li Chijing's still somewhat immature voice was extremely solemn. This boy who had always been under the wings of his brothers had suddenly become a teenager.
"Jing'er."
Li Mutian stood quietly under the moonlight, looking at his youngest son gently.
"Father, I have condensed the Xuanjing Wheel."
Li Chijing stood up and looked at his father with a smile. He gently opened his left hand, and a milky white mana appeared in his hand.
"The first step of practice is called fetal breath. In the fetal breath state, six wheels need to be condensed, which are called Xuanjing, Chengming, Zhouxing, Qingyuan, Yujing, and Lingchu. This Xuanjing wheel is the door to the Tao."
"Okay, okay." Li Mutian said with great relief.
Waving his hands to disperse the magic power, Li Chijing sat cross-legged again and consolidated his cultivation.
————
"Good technique!"
Li Xiangping opened his eyes first, smiled, stretched, stood up, picked up the teapot on the table and took a deep sip.
"I obtained the Wheel-raising Sutra and a method called Water Avoidance Technique."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tongya woke up from his trance. He raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction:
"I have obtained a magic technique called exorcism."
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Changhu opened his eyes, stared at his three younger brothers helplessly and said helplessly:
"The technique is called the Clothes Purification Technique."
After all three brothers woke up, Li Chijing, who had been patient for a long time, spoke excitedly:
"I have condensed the Xuan Jing Lun!"
"So fast?"
Li Xiangping exclaimed and tilted his head in confusion.
"It all depends on the power of law."
Li Chijing looked at the law book on the case and said sincerely:
"This jianzi will condense the moonlight, and it can be used to temper the power of the moonlight, which will really get twice the result with half the effort."
Li Tongya and others suddenly realized. Li Changhu touched Li Chijing's head and said with a smile:
"I heard in the book that the human body has a spiritual orifice, and if the magic power penetrates the body, we will know where it is. Jing'er can take a look for us."
However, Li Changhu felt that it was extremely difficult for him to receive the invitation, and he was not as comfortable as his two younger brothers. He secretly doubted his talent for cultivating immortals.
Looking at the three brothers, Li Chijing put his left hand on the nearest Li Xiangping's shoulder, closed his eyes and searched for the spiritual orifice.
"The energy is rising, the breath is not stopping, and it is like a fish jumping..."
Li Chijing silently recited the descriptions in the Tuna method, and the magic power circled in Li Xiangping's meridians.
After about a stick of incense, he opened his eyes in shock and murmured to himself:
"No…"
He was stunned, then quickly put his hands on the shoulders of his two brothers and tested the magic power.
"No, how come there isn't?!"
Li Chijing's face was a little pale. He sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes and meditated. His magic power penetrated his whole body. As expected, there was no so-called spiritual orifice.
"The "Taiyin Breathing and Nourishing Wheel Sutra" clearly states that the spiritual orifice is the foundation of the great road. No matter what kind of magic tricks are used, without the spiritual orifice, nothing can be said..."
"This this……"
Li Chijing's mood kept fluctuating, and he couldn't even maintain his concentration. With trembling lips, he looked at Li Mutian who was playing with the tea leaves and said softly:
"Father!"
"You are right, this Dharma Book is also the cause of my family's destruction."
"If any true cultivator learns of this thing, not only will our bodies and bodies be destroyed, but our souls will be trapped in the hands of others. The entire Lijing Village and even the entire villages of Guli Road will be wiped out."
"I have refined the Xuanjing Wheel, and my magic power circulates throughout my body. Unless I abolish my cultivation, those Qi practitioners will not be able to use my magic power to detect the location of my spiritual orifice."
Li Chijing stood up in horror and solemnly told:
"As for my descendants of the Li family, they must not show off to the public before they have achieved the Xuanjing after being given the Xuanzhu talisman!"
"Exactly."
Li Mutian took a sip of tea and looked at the few people solemnly.
"When Jing'er was able to practice, I just thought it was because Chi Jing was gifted. Han Wenxu once said that there is no one in a thousand who has a spiritual acupoint. Maybe Jing'er is that one."
He smiled self-deprecatingly and continued:
"Now it seems that this Dharma Jian is really an amazing fairy. It can turn decay into magic. With this talisman, mortals can also have a glimpse of the immortal way."
Several people were both happy and frightened, looking at their father in silence.
"Okay, you go ahead and practice. I'll go take a look at the fields." Li Mutian was silent for a while and then said.
"yes."
A few people naturally bowed their heads in agreement and went back to their rooms to practice.
Li Mutian respectfully asked for the Dharma Jian, cleared the desk, and went to the field with his hands behind his back.
