Fasting for three days, eating only vegetarian food every day, no meat, garlic, chives, ginger, and did not go out to play. This might be unbearable for the energetic young Qin Di, but for the current Old Qin Di, it was a piece of cake.
Before his transmigration, Old Qin Di ate steak and roast duck every day, and he rarely ate vegetables. He was really tired of it!
This time, he could eat vegetarian food. After fasting for three days, he could clear his mind and think about how he should live in the future.
From this day onwards, Qin Di sat quietly in his bedroom, not leaving the main door or the second door. Even his food was sent by the maidservant.
No one came to disturb him.
Because at this time, Qin Di was already fourteen years old.
According to the Old Qin Family's rules, he moved out of the inner residence at the age of twelve, and returned to the inner residence on the night of every full moon. Usually, he had his own small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, with only seven or eight tile-roofed houses. Other than him, there was a manservant, a maidservant, a servant woman, and a strong servant. The manservant was in charge of accompanying him, the maidservant was in charge of daily life, the maidservant was in charge of cooking and cleaning the courtyard, and the strong servant was in charge of the physical work inside and outside.
The manservant was called Qin Shi, and three generations of him were children of the Qin Family. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was taller than Qin Di by two inches. His shoulders were broad, his body was long, and his bones were big, but he was very thin. At first glance, he looked like a man, but upon closer inspection, he was still a simple youth. He was simple-minded, very obedient, and did whatever he was told.
The maidservant was also a child of the Qin Family, and was called Qin Xiaoyu. She was a few months younger than Qin Di. She was beautiful, fair, and of medium build. She had an oval face, thin eyebrows, and bright eyes. She was educated and literate. She did not look like a maidservant, but like a pretty daughter of a humble family.
Qin Di knew that the first maidservant was trained according to the people in the house. However, according to the Qin Family's rules, only sixteen years old could have sex, or they would be beaten to death! Not only would the maidservant be beaten to death, but the young master of the Qin Family would also have one leg broken! This was something that every Young Master of Qin's Residence had been warned time and time again from the day they moved out of the Inner Residence. Thus, very few people dared to violate this rule.
The servant's name was Hu Ma. She was in her forties or fifties, and she used to be a chef in a restaurant. She was good at cooking.
The servant's name was Hu San. He was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was tall and sturdy, and he was Mother Hu's son.
These two people were hired from outside. They had agreed that if they worked for ten years, they would be allowed to change their surnames to Qin and enjoy the treatment of the Qin Family's servants. The two of them agreed immediately and were extremely grateful.
On this day, as soon as he returned home from school, Qin Di instructed everyone, "I'm going to fast. Don't bring any meat or fish! You have to give up onions, garlic, chives, and ginger! "
Hearing this, the manservant Qin Shi grinned outside, while the maidservant Qin Xiaoyu smiled bitterly inside. He thought, "This Nineteenth Master is crazy again! You said that, but when it's time to eat, you'll change your mind! "
However, these words could not be ignored.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoyu instructed Nanny Hu to focus on preparing the materials and to prepare meticulously. She was not to break her precepts. However, she was thinking in her heart, I wonder if Young Master can endure for a day? May the Tongtian River God bless us, I hope Young Master can persevere.
That night, Qin Di ate a vegetarian meal and sat on the praying mat. He calmed his mind and did not think or worry.
He thought of the meditation methods of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism that he had read before. In the end, he chose the Seven Legs Sitting Method. He crossed his legs, straightened his back, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, slightly opened his eyes, and placed his tongue on the roof of his mouth.
At first, it was a little difficult to sit, but he gradually got used to it. After sitting for a long time, he unknowingly saw a white light in front of him. He had reached the state of Illusory Chamber giving birth to white light. His two souls had merged perfectly, and his three spiritual and seven physical souls were compact and twice as solid as before. Moreover, he felt that his belly button was slightly hot, and his whole body felt very comfortable.
Speaking of which, Old Qin had practiced Qigong in the past. When Qigong was hot, he once went to the library to read the Daoist Canon and read the secret manuals left behind by Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Dongbin, and Liu Huayang. Moreover, he practiced what he preached and did not sleep in the middle of the night. He practiced Daoist Qigong until his Dantian was hot, and his hands, feet, and palms were hot. However, due to various reasons, he abandoned it. Other than rarely falling sick, there were no other miracles.
This time, he did not have any Celestial Scriptures on hand. He could only take the messy scriptures from his previous life to experiment. He thought to himself, "I'll just try it as a last resort. Anyway, I won't be able to find any Celestial Scriptures in a short time. I'm just practicing for fun, there shouldn't be any harm. "
Before he transmigrated, he had already stopped practicing for more than 20 years. Every day, he would stuff himself with food, drink, and smoke. He did not have any control over his life. His meridians had long been destroyed, not to mention the feeling of his Dantian being hot.
He did not expect that after transmigrating to a different world, he would return to the feeling of youth after meditating for a few hours!
At this time, he could not help but sigh at the young body in front of him. It was good to be young! Full of Qi and blood, it was easy to cultivate Qi!
At the same time, he also felt that after meditating, his mind was clear, his soul was strong, and his body was incomparably comfortable. There was a kind of feeling of floating in the air. This was something that he could not enjoy before he transmigrated.
He thought to himself, "Maybe there really is Celestial Qi here? Maybe there is a chance to practice Celestial Qi! This is great! "
Under the concerned gaze of the maidservant Qin Xiaoyu and the doubtful wait of the manservant Qin Shi, three days of fasting and meditating passed easily. This morning, when Qin Di opened his eyes, he felt that the world was incomparably peaceful and rich. It was as if he had gained 300 years of cultivation in three days. However, when he stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, his strength did not increase by much.
He knew that this was only the fusion of the depths of his soul, and the improvement of his spiritual realm. It seemed to be related to cultivation, but it was not a real Celestial Qi. Celestial Qi was needed for Celestial Qi. The classics from his previous life were just words to him, and they were not seriously practiced under the guidance of a teacher. Moreover, after so many years, the classics that he was familiar with had become fragmented. These classics could only be a flash of inspiration in the present world, and could not guide him to a higher realm.
"Young Master, it's time for breakfast!" the maidservant Qin Xiaoyu called out softly at the door.
"Alright! I'm coming! "Qin Di answered and stood up.
Today was the day to go out, and it was the first time he seriously fasted to welcome the Peach Blossom Festival. He did not know what would happen, so he had to maintain enough strength.
After eating breakfast, he took a bath and put on new clothes. Then, with the help of Qin Xiaoyu, he combed his hair into a bun and tidied himself up inside and out. Qin Di felt that this was much more serious than when he defended his doctorate!
When everything was ready, he heard someone shouting from outside, "Nineteenth Brother, it's getting late, time to go!"
Qin Di walked out of the small courtyard and saw a clean horse carriage parked at the door.
He lifted his legs and entered the carriage. There were already a few children and nephews waiting inside. When they saw him, they all saluted, "Hello, Nineteenth Uncle!"
Qin Di nodded, "Good!" Then, he sat down and turned his head to look out of the window, not saying a word.
