"Hong Yi, you are now their teacher. Help them categorize their books!" Looking at the bookshelves full of books, Cheng Hao rubbed his forehead. There were so many books that he could not figure out which of them were Immortal Cultivation Method manuals.
"Alright, now I suspect that the main reason they hired me to teach is to categorize the books!" Hong Yi sighed helplessly and began to organize the books.
"Sirs, sorting is a delicate job. I'm afraid it will take a few days. You can stay in this valley for the next few days. We will prepare all the tea and food." The old cunning fox was a little embarrassed as he cupped his hands.
"It's okay. You can go ahead. There are so many Cultivation Method manuals that you can read for free. It's no trouble to sort your books."
Cheng Hao's purpose in coming to this world was to find a way to become an immortal. Now that he had so many books, although martial arts manuals accounted for less than one percent of them, it was enough to make Cheng Hao very excited.
After the old cunning fox left, Cheng Hao patted Hong Yi's shoulder happily. "We have made a lot of money this time. There are so many books, and some of them are the only copies. You can't buy them even if you have money!"
"Brother Cheng Hao, where do you think the Fox Tribe of West Mountain came from? Why do they have so many books? How does it compare to your Ding Country Marquis Mansion? "
"Haha, the books in my Ding Country Marquis Mansion are less than one percent of the books here. Most of them are abridged books. There is no comparison at all. Look at those bookshelves. There are many scriptures from the Great Zen Temple. The Fox Tribe should have lived in the Great Zen Temple. The Great Zen Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. The books in it are immeasurable. When the temple was destroyed by the imperial army, many of the scattered books were moved away by the Fox Tribe, "Cheng Hao said with a smile as he looked at the Tripitaka, Avatamsaka Sutra, Reincarnation Sutra, and other scriptures on the bookshelves.
"Hong Yi, you sort it out first. I will read for a while. If you are tired, you can read and rest for a while!"
At this moment, Cheng Hao had already found a book called "Dao Scripture" on one of the bookshelves. He could not help but start flipping through it.
"The world is like a sea of bitterness, and the human body is like a raft that crosses the sea. However, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and the raft will eventually decay. Only the soul is strong, so it can abandon the raft and swim to the other side of the sea of bitterness with its own strength."
This was the opening of the Daoist Scripture. Just as the Martial Scripture emphasized the importance of the physical body, the Daoist Scripture also talked about the importance of the soul and belittled the use of the physical body.
Flipping to the next page, the entire page was very mysterious. Most of it talked about morality, commandments, and all kinds of commandments to be obeyed. For example, being loyal to the emperor, being patriotic, not passing down Dharma indiscriminately, not revealing immortal arts, not doing evil, and many other things like karma.
For these brainwashing things, Cheng Hao only glanced at it briefly and then turned to the next page. This page talked about a visualization method called "Pagoda Visualization Out of the Shell Method", which could let the soul leave the body.
This method of letting the soul leave the body first required one to take a bath, clean the body, then sit quietly, recite incantations, and make hand gestures. After waiting for one's heart to completely calm down, one could visualize an extremely high pagoda with seven floors. One would climb up step by step. At the highest floor, one would suddenly leap up, and the soul would leave the body.
At the same time, there were many complicated incantations and hand gestures recorded on it. One needed to recite the incantations and make hand gestures before visualization.
Regarding this, Cheng Hao could not help but rub his forehead. The main reason was that these incantations were difficult to understand and were especially complicated. Even if his memory was amazing, he still felt a little dizzy for a while.
As if sensing Cheng Hao's troubles, Hong Yi walked over. After looking at the pagoda visualization method for a while, he gave his own suggestion.
"Cheng Hao, I feel that these Daoist who compiled the Daoist scriptures created so many incantations and hand gestures just to let the person visualize calm down. As long as one's state of mind can be like water, there is no need to go through so much trouble!"
"What you said makes a lot of sense!"
After putting down the scriptures, Cheng Hao began practicing the Tiger Demon's Bone Honing Fist in the library. After he finished practicing all two hundred and six moves, he felt his entire body become unobstructed. His entire state of mind was much calmer.
After feeling his state of mind calm down, Cheng Hao closed his eyes and visualized a seven-floored pagoda above his head. When he reached the highest floor, he suddenly leaped up with all his might!
Hmm?
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still sitting in the same spot. His soul had not left his body at all.
"What happened? You didn't succeed?" Hong Yi asked from the side.
"Indeed, I didn't succeed. Wanting the soul to leave the body isn't as easy as imagined." Cheng Hao shook his head. "Hong Yi, you can give it a try. Let's discuss with each other and strive to achieve the soul leaving the body as soon as possible!"
Hong Yi nodded. First, he ground an ink stick and spread out a piece of paper to write. After his state of mind calmed down, he began to visualize according to the pagoda visualization method. However, after a while, he opened his eyes helplessly.
"It's indeed not easy to have the soul leave the body. Could it be that we haven't found the trick?"
"Hmm, there should be a trick. It's just that we haven't thought of it yet!" Cheng Hao nodded. He looked at the seven-floored pagoda pattern in the scriptures and fell into deep thought.
"Cheng Hao, could it be that the pagoda we visualized is just a figment of our imagination and we haven't seen it in real life, so we can't experience the feeling of jumping out of the pagoda?"
"That makes sense. The key point of this visualization method is to jump down from a high place. It doesn't necessarily have to be a pagoda!"
Cheng Hao nodded thoughtfully. Then, he sat cross-legged and meditated again. This time, he didn't visualize the pagoda. Instead, he visualized the tall buildings in the cities on Earth. At that time, he was just an ordinary person. He climbed the stairs of the tall buildings to reach the top of the building.
Standing on the top of the building, he looked down at the pedestrians below like ants. When a strong wind blew, he felt dizzy and his legs went weak.
"Yes, this is the feeling!"
Although he knew that this was visualization and that as long as he jumped out of the pagoda, Cheng Hao's heart still trembled when he stood on the top of such a tall building. This was the 33rd floor. Even a Connate master would be crippled if he didn't die if he fell directly.
"Jump out, jump out!"
Gritting his teeth, Cheng Hao made up his mind. Finally, he jumped from the top of the building and fell from the top of the building.
Boom!
In the process of falling, it seemed that the world had changed. Cheng Hao felt his body suddenly become light. His body suddenly stabilized in the air. The scene in front of him changed instantly. There were no more tall buildings. What was left was the library filled with bookshelves.
Of course, it wasn't that there were no changes. For example, while he was standing in the air, he saw himself and Hong Yi sitting cross-legged on the ground below. He also saw Hong Yi's soul, who was also standing in the air and had just left his body!
"Congratulations, Brother Cheng Hao. Your soul has finally left your body!"
"Congratulations, congratulations. Brother Hong Yi is not bad either!"
"Hahaha …"
