  Chapter 18 Candlelight

  "The academy came out to find teachers and teaching assistants for qualified children, and they all practice hopeful qi. With this Zhiyuyin training disk, they can roughly sense the direction of the spiritual talent.

  Of course, this method is relatively rough, and it is more accurate to cooperate with this gray candle. "

  Cheng Juxiu placed the gray candle in the center of the compass, and said casually: "There are five kinds of cultivation methods mainly taught in the academy, namely talisman, technique, thought, sword, and body.

  The so-called "talisman technique twins, sword and mind are one." '

  Fu is Danshu Fulu, which gathers the aura of heaven and earth and condenses it on the silver hook painted on iron. When a symbol is completed, ghosts and gods will be shocked.

  Skills are thousands of spells, which can patrol clouds and drive rain, split seas and collapse mountains.

  Nian is the mind, and the aura can be driven at will by the mind.

  Sword is kendo, three thousand guests are full of flowers and drunk, one sword is frosty and cold in fourteen states. "

  "Any one of these four methods of practice can reach the Dao, and it takes a lifetime of hard work. Only greedy and stupid people, or true geniuses, will practice both.

  For example, the current Xuegong Shanzhang, who is also the most powerful practitioner in the Yu Kingdom, has also studied Talisman and Sword Dao. "

  Pu Liuxuan added: "Of course, the realm of a mountain leader is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and even many practitioners. Generally speaking, even a genius, if he wants to practice concurrently, he has to choose two relatively similar paths.

   Such as Talisman and Shu, Talisman and Nian, Nian and Sword. "

   Li Ang asked subconsciously: "What about the body?"

"body"

  Pu Liuxuan and Cheng Juxiu looked at each other, and burst out laughing suddenly, "Hahahahaha!"

  The two of them laughed for a while as if they had heard some joke. Pu Liuxuan finally stopped with a light cough, "We'll find out when you go to the academy.

  Although there is no distinction between high and low in the way of practice.

  However, the method of body training differs too much from that of Talisman and Sword Mind, so it is difficult to compare and measure.

  This is not to say that body training is not as good as talisman sword reading,

  The east corner is lost, but the mulberry elm is harvested.

  True masters of martial arts, such as the three generals of Yu State, the commander of the Zhenfu Division, and the priests in the palace, all of them can change everything with one punch. "

   "The east corner of the lost, the mulberry elm harvested"

  Li Ang immediately reacted, "That is to say, only those who have no talent for talisman swordsmanship should go to practice the way of body training."

  Emotional monks also have contempt chains?

   "I didn't say that, you thought it up yourself, don't mention it to others when you arrive in Chang'an."

  Pu Liuxuan waved his hands a little embarrassedly, "In short, as long as you have the talent for spiritual veins, everything is easy to talk about.

  Jixiu. "

"Um."

  Cheng Juxiu responded, and stretched out his hand to grind the candle wick. The candle burned slowly, and an orange flame like a bean sprout rose.

  Pu Liuxuan raised his chin, "Stretch out your hand, pinch the middle of the candle with your thumb and index finger, and keep the other three fingers together. The index finger is in front and the thumb is in the back."

"oh."

   Li Ang took a breath, reached out to hold the candle, and felt cold to the touch, as if touching a piece of solid ice.

"Zhiyuyin Xiupan is a test method that monks have used for thousands of years. According to the color, shape, size, and change of the candle flame, as well as the compass direction that the flame points to, through cumbersome and complicated calculation methods, the number of spiritual veins, diameter, and the suitable path of cultivation."

Pu Liuxuan twirled his beard, and said calmly: "Ten spiritual veins are considered more talented, but fourteen is one out of tens of thousands of people, and sixteen or seventeen spiritual veins may not be able to do it in decades. out one.

  Since recorded in history, the one with the most innate spiritual veins was the head teacher of the Haotian Taoist sect at the end of the Sui Dynasty two hundred years ago, with twenty.

  As for the more ancient mythological period, it cannot be considered true without physical evidence and historical reference.

  In addition, the number of spiritual veins is not a decisive factor in practice.

   More importantly, understanding and opportunity.

  Lingmai is equivalent to a river, twenty rivers can transport water, and ten rivers can also transport water. It's just that at the beginning of practice, those with more spiritual veins can avoid detours.

  Don't think about it, concentrate and calm down. "

"oh."

   Li Ang let out a breath of foul air slowly, pushing out the nervous and distracting thoughts from his mind.

  Under the gaze of the three, the orange flame at the top of the gray candle slowly expanded at an extremely slow speed.

   "If there are few spiritual veins, the candle will be weak; if there are many spiritual veins, the candle will be strong.

  Those with deep spiritual veins have thinner candle flames, and those with shallow spiritual veins have thicker candle flames.

  If there is a spirit vein in the brain, the candle will be golden.

  If there is a spiritual pulse in the hand, the candle will be blue.

  In addition, the candlelight will also show visions such as crosses, triangles, and pentagrams according to the direction, shape, and circuit of the spiritual veins.

  For example, Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty, when he was ten years old, he used the Zhiyu Yinxiu disk for the first time, which made the candlelight show a cumbersome and gorgeous image of a candle dragon, so that the emperor Longyan was very happy, and he was appointed as the prince."

  Cheng Juxiu's voice of explanation became weaker and weaker, and the expression on his face became more and more exciting.

  I saw the candle in Li Ang's hand, slowly splitting into two, then four, until it was divided into twenty-four extremely thin leaves, spreading out above the Zhiyu Yinxiu disk.

what is this?

  Lotus? orchid? peony?

   It can't be a big octopus, right?

   Li Ang didn't know why, so he didn't dare to move his hand away.

   Fortunately, the ash candle was very flame-resistant, no candle oil melted, and the feel was still as cold as ever.

   Cheng Juxiu frowned and said, "It looks like a lotus with twenty-four petals, but the leaves are too thin."

Pu Liuxuan also frowned, and added: "There are also some problems with the shape. The upright twenty-four petals of the lotus should point to the '姤', 'Ding', 'Xun', 'Gu', and Shi of Zhiyu Yinxiu respectively." Just wait for the word.

  Try using Tiangang method to calculate? "

   "Well. One name is Jiuchang, and he lives in it to escape form. The second name is Yuchang, and it turns into vegetation and everything. The third name is Maochang, and it turns into mountains and hills."

  Cheng Juxiu closed his eyes, and the five fingers of his left hand bounced and collided quickly, chanting words, as if he was talking about some complicated and obscure calculation rules.

  Time passed bit by bit, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and said slowly, "Seven things."

  Li Ang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Huh?"

   "The gray candle can be released. Calculated, it should be seven."

  Cheng Juxiu nodded, and said earnestly: "Although one of them appears to be weak, it is indeed true of the seven. It may be caused by excessive sorrow and mental distress recently."

   "Seven things."

  Pu Liuxuan slowly relaxed his frown, nodded and said, "It's enough."

   "Well, it has already passed the admission standard of the academy.

   Later, I will draw the candle flame pattern, write down the calculation formula, attach the teacher's recommendation letter, and send it back to Chang'an Academy, and there will be no problem.

   It really doesn’t work. When you arrive in Chang’an, ask a professor to give you another test. It may be more accurate. "

  Cheng Juxiu smiled, extinguished the gray candle with a wave of his hand, and said, "Don't be discouraged, Junior Brother, Teacher and I only have about ten spiritual veins.

  As long as you have passed the sensory energy and body storage state,

  The cultivation of the seven spiritual veins is not much slower than others.

   Now it is different from the previous ancient practice. "

   "Ah, I'm fine, but just now I thought the twenty-four petal lotus is the twenty-four spiritual veins, and I was shocked. Emotions are not divided by shape."

  Li Ang said with some embarrassment: "By the way, senior brother, what is Gan Qi and body hiding place?"
