Luo Nan and Xue Lei walked into the room. There were no lights on inside. The lights from outside only illuminated the entrance. Most of the other areas were filled with shadows, making it hard to see clearly.
Xue Lei turned his head to look for Xiu Shenyu. Luo Nan relied on the advantage of his mental senses to lock onto Xiu Shenyu's position a step earlier.
Xiu Shenyu was sitting on the cork floor, leaning against the wall on one side of the corridor. His left leg was crossed and his right leg was upright. His sitting posture was casual. Not far away from him was the tai chi ball. He didn't know if it was because of the environment, but the current Xiu Shenyu was silent, almost gloomy. He did not react to the two young men who came in.
"Dojo Master, Nanster is here." Xue Lei finally saw where Xiu Shenyu was. He walked over and whispered.
Xiu Shenyu grunted, "Then let's begin."
Her straightforward and direct attitude made Luo Nan and Xue Lei a bit stupefied.
No matter what the two youngsters thought, Xiu Shenyu simply got up from the floor and walked to Luo Nan's side. His figure was tall and thin. He was a head taller than Luo Nan, who had yet to fully develop. He gave off quite a bit of pressure when he stood.
"The time I requested is from 11 pm to 5 am, a total of six hours. Ideally, six hours a day would be enough for the first stage of learning. I asked you to come a little earlier today so that I can teach you basic techniques and also do some tests to get a feel for you. "
Luo Nan obediently complied.
Although this Gym Master Xiu did not engage in any pleasantries or opening remarks, going straight to the main topic rather strangely, his words were still logical and clear. It was unknown where Xue Lei's so-called 'translation' came from.
Luo Nan immediately complied with Xiu Shenyu's request. He lay flat on the sleeping mat that had already been prepared. Xue Lei, on the other hand, lit a pot of incense in a very exaggerated manner, saying that it had the effect of helping people relax.
The light was dim, and the fragrance lingered in the air. In such an environment, it was not difficult to 'relax'. Luo Nan's eyes narrowed slightly. He slowly adjusted his breathing and soon entered a state.
At this time, Xiu Shenyu suddenly asked, "Have you learned other breathing techniques before?"
"Yes, there is."
Luo Nan had been practicing the chanting breathing technique since he was young. The majority of its functions were in visualization, but he also started with breathing. Also, he had obtained an extremely good demonstration from this inconceivable little girl, Rui Wen, some time ago. She had comprehended the rhythm of soul breathing.
Cough, Soul Breathing is also considered breathing, right? Luo Nan believed that he had some experience.
Xiu Shenyu continued to ask, "Have you entered meditation?"
"You mean the Stationary State? Yes. "
At the side, Xue Lei said happily, "That's good. You already have a very good foundation. You'll definitely improve at lightning speed."
Xiu Shenyu glanced at Xue Lei but did not say anything. He just let Luo Nan continue to relax. At the same time, Xiu Shenyu began to explain to Luo Nan the essentials of adjusting his breathing.
In the beginning, Luo Nan only spoke in general terms. But under this sort of atmosphere, Luo Nan subconsciously and unconsciously followed the methods he had described. He carried out experiments.
Xiu Shenyu probably had an accurate grasp of Luo Nan's state. He suddenly changed the way he spoke. He was shorter, directly touching on the deviation that occurred during Luo Nan's attempts, and he corrected it.
Sometimes, she would directly reach out and press on Luo Nan's body. She wanted Luo Nan's breathing and thoughts to be mobilized and concentrated in these areas.
In the beginning, the taste of having someone controlling his breathing was unpleasant. Luo Nan controlled his breathing as he split his attention to receive guidance. His nerves were taut, and there was no way he could relax at all.
But Luo Nan had a foundation in the end. He soon discovered that many of the essentials Xiu Shenyu imparted to him happened to coincide with his current understanding. It gave him quite a bit of foresight when it came to certain details, and the specific control of his breathing became more unhurried.
Moreover, Xiu Shenyu's teachings were not harsh on the details. It was like a faintly discernible lamp that led Luo Nan in front of him, so that he would not get lost. Luo Nan still followed Luo Nan's own habits and actions.
It didn't take long for Luo Nan to adapt. His mind settled down. He controlled the intensity of his breathing, making it faintly discernible between his mouth and nose. His mind first resided in his mouth and nose. Then it moved to his throat, chest, lower abdomen, tailbone, and so on. He also visualized in reverse, changing back and forth. In the end, his breath became continuous. It was impossible to distinguish the direction and direction, and it gradually enshrouded his entire body.
Luo Nan's body became slightly hot under this marvelous feeling. It was as if he was wrapped in a warm cloud. It was similar to a sauna, but it was not that stuffy. It was rather transparent.
In the end, Luo Nan's energy was completely focused on sensing the changes. He naturally blocked out Xiu Shenyu's whispers. In the end, even his body's senses became fuzzy. It was as if Luo Nan had transformed into a cloud, drifting in the void.
The cloud qi expanded and contracted, showing the difference between inside and outside. But when it came down to it, it was a rhythm of entering and exiting … That's right, it was a bit like Rui Wen. Her breath resonated at the pinnacle of perfection, and her body and soul were blended together. Luo Nan suddenly opened his eyes as if he had awoken from a dream.
Xue Lei followed Xiu Shenyu's instructions and checked the time on his wristband. "Five minutes and twenty seconds."
"Eh?"
Xue Lei smiled. "From the time you laid down until now, it's been a total of 320 seconds."
Luo Nan was stunned: "That short?"
He thought that time had passed very quickly, at least an hour or two, but he didn't expect it to be so short. If one only counted the time when he was fully engrossed, it would be less than a minute.
Xiu Shenyu glanced at Xue Lei's wristband. "Seven seconds."
"Seven seconds?"
"Spirit Galloping, Heart Illuminating the Eight Extremities. Seven seconds isn't bad, but it's not short either. "
Luo Nan didn't understand at all. Translator Xue finally appeared at this time. He praised, "Sure enough, there is a foundation …. The meditative state you just entered is actually a process of body self-examination. It's like turning on a device, reading and loading. The faster your brain, the higher the efficiency. Seven seconds of inner vision, obtaining the edict of void and stillness, is quite amazing. "
Gym Master Xiu declined to comment on Xue Lei's words. "You can't rely on the void. You can't stay full for long. Remember that breathing rhythm. We will proceed to the next step. "
Though it was hard to understand, it really did seem quite amazing …. Luo Nan couldn't help but have a different kind of confidence in Xiu Shenyu's teachings. He recalled the feeling from before and nodded solemnly.
Two minutes later, Luo Nan entered the strange state of his body's invisibility once more under Xiu Shenyu's guidance. His body was like a cloud. Warm heat was constantly accumulating, but the rhythm of entering and exiting was there. It expanded and contracted all the time. The heat was not static, but it flowed endlessly.
Luo Nan couldn't see it clearly at first, but after familiarizing himself with it, his senses grew sharper. Slowly, he was able to perceive substance within the invisibility of the cloud.
According to Xiu Shenyu's theory, meditative state was just the initial stage of cognition. Cultivation required one to eliminate the established concept of the body, using the feeling of a meditative state to reconstruct it.
This wasn't to let one's imagination run wild in the mind. The body was still the body, and the aura was still the aura. One just needed to take a complete form.
Luo Nan was familiar with this method. Wasn't this his method of drawing simple sketches? He didn't care about the fineness of the form. He focused on the charm and characteristics.
However, Xiu Shenyu gave him a clear image.
