Chapter 64: Cock Crow

Pushing away the water offered by Old Mitou and glancing at Chen Xiaodao, Feng Zhibai said, "From today on, you two must get up every day at cockcrow to cultivate your character. You must not slack off, and certainly not fool me."

"When the cockcrows?"

When they heard about self-cultivation, they didn't feel anything.

But when they heard that they needed to get up and cultivate their bodies and minds at the crowing of the rooster, they both exclaimed at the same time!

At four o'clock in the morning, was she sure she was cultivating her character and not trying to cause them to die prematurely?

I went to bed so late the day before and got up so early the next day to exercise.

Isn't this clearly telling the King of Hell: My life is short, please arrange for someone to pick me up as soon as possible?

Putting away the fan, Chen Xiaodao said anxiously, "Grandma, it's not that we don't want to, it's really too early! Can we postpone it a little? Six or seven o'clock is fine!"

"Is it still too late after the cockcrow? Oh, I didn't realize you were quite diligent, little Daodao. If that's the case, I'll move the time forward a bit."

Hearing Feng Zhibai say this, Chen Xiaodao's eyes widened.

It was obviously too early for him to speak!

What kind of ears does this person have?

"No!" He sat next to Feng Zhibai again.

Feng Zhibai leaned sideways and immediately reached out to block him: "Hey! Men and women shouldn't touch each other, don't go any further! Be careful or I'll sue you for molestation!"

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm not interested in you!"

Reacting quickly, Chen Xiaodao jumped up and said hurriedly, "What I mean is that the cockcrow is too early! The sun won't even come out by then! Can you relax a little?"

With his hands pressed on his knees, Feng Zhibai raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Oh? So you mean you want to get up at three in the morning to exercise? Fine, at worst I can sacrifice my rest time and get up at two in the morning to exercise with you."

Old Mitou gasped and almost fainted.

Chen Xiaodao was even more shocked!

Even if he didn't understand just now, he understood now!

The implication of Feng Zhibai's words was that there was no changing it, it had to be at cockcrow.

If you don't want to get up at cockcrow, choose between 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning.

joke!

He would rather suffer a little than die early!

Raising his hand to make a pause, Chen Xiaodao looked at Feng Zhibai seriously, "Grandma, I suddenly feel that getting up at cockcrow to cultivate one's body and mind is the best time! At that time, the Yang energy is slowly rising and the Yin energy is declining. Meditating facing the rising horizon and absorbing the Yang energy is simply wonderful!"

He clasped his hands together and looked out the window at the dark winter sky, his face full of longing.

This look stunned the old man beside him.

Who just said four o'clock is too early?

How come, after all the intimidation, you just accept your fate?

Too cowardly! Young people are really too cowardly!

Looking at Chen Xiaodao with disdain, Lao Mitou raised his head in dissatisfaction and said to Feng Zhibai, "Girl, I think this time is especially good! I'm very energetic now! Don't wait, let's go exercise now! I want to be the first one to enter the park today!"

After saying that, he rushed into the bedroom without looking back.

Chen Xiaodao was left alone staring at his back in a daze.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you go quickly?"

He shouted at Chen Xiaodao in annoyance.

He sighed, turned around and went into the bedroom to pack his things.

Feng Zhibai gave them a very clear goal.

To cultivate oneself and improve one's character, one must first cultivate one's mind and body and then improve one's character.

After spending some time together, Feng Zhibai had a clear understanding of the life traits of Lao Mi Tou and Chen Xiaodao.

Chen Xiaodao is extremely talented in Taoism and has a very good foundation, but he lacks accumulation, experience and practical experience.

Chen Xiaodao only made one plan for him.

That is to let him meditate first to calm his mind, and then learn more knowledge.

Finally, I took one to two hours every night to go out and catch ghosts.

After I come back, I have to write a report on my experience of catching ghosts.

For example: what kind of talisman was used, what kind of formation was set up, what kind of ghost was caught, how was it caught, the effect of the talisman, and the effect of the formation.

This is called implementing theoretical knowledge in practice.

Chen Xiaodao has a good foundation and is born into this field, so these things are a piece of cake for him.

But Lao Mi Tou might be a little less interesting.

However, he doesn't need to know how to draw talismans or set up formations, he just needs to be able to protect himself.

Lao Mi is a little older, and his bones, hands and feet can't keep up, so he has to start from the most basic solid training.

In order to improve his physical condition, Feng Zhibai chose conservative treatment.

Tai Chi.

Tai Chi is an exercise for the mind, spirit, form and soul.

Considering Lao Mi's physical condition and current state of mind, Tai Chi is the most suitable and useful.

But learning Tai Chi well is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Therefore, Feng Zhibai started the second plan.

Meditate.

Meditation is the foundation of spiritual practice.

During meditation, one's mind will be empty and one's heart will be much calmer.

For many people who have successfully practiced spiritual cultivation, meditation is an inevitable and extremely important step.

Meditating during the period when Yang energy is rising can effectively absorb Yang energy and allow the body to reach an optimal state for subsequent exercise!

It's the same as how ghosts and zombies like to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon at night.

So this is why Feng Zhibai chose to meditate at the crowing of the cock.

After packing up, the three of them walked to Qingcheng Garden.

Finding a quiet corner where no one would disturb them, Feng Zhibai asked them to adjust their breathing and start meditating.

At first, the two of them couldn't get into the state, until the sun slowly rose above the horizon, they were able to calm down and meditate.

Feng Zhibai sat beside them, browsing his phone.

She played on her phone for as long as they meditated.

It was not until dawn that more and more people came into the park and the noisy sounds brought them back to their senses.

Both of them were covered in sweat. When they opened their eyes, although there was not much change, one could still notice that their eyes were not as cloudy as a few days ago.

Feng Zhibai didn't have time to deal with them anymore. He put away his phone and yawned.

Compared with the two of them, she is the most decadent one now.

Back home, Chen Xiaodao and Lao Mi Tou excitedly shared the changes in their bodies.

When she was about to ask Feng Zhibai what to do next, she said: Don't disturb my rest before dark.

Then, he slammed the door and fell asleep on the bed.

Only two confused people were left there.

Feng Zhibai really slept until night!

And he got up on time and called Chen Xiaodao to go out and catch ghosts.

Chen Xiaodao didn't dare to disobey, so he picked up the yellow cloth bag and the peach wood sword and went out to look for the ghost.

As a result, I was disappointed on the first night.

There was no mass grave nearby, not even a cemetery. Let alone an evil ghost, he couldn't even find a little ghost!

Before twelve o'clock, he came back carrying his body.

Feng Zhibai didn't say anything, just told him to go back and rest and continue tomorrow night.

So, early the next morning, in Qingcheng Park.

While Lao Mi Tou and Chen Xiaodao were meditating, Feng Zhibai asked Yan Kuan for a map of Qinghai City and learned about Fu Chengmei's recent situation.

Only after she learned that the situation was normal did she begin to study the map of Qinghai City.

The Feng Shui pattern of Qinghai City is very good and top-notch.

Look up along the map.

The east side of Qinghai City looks like a galloping divine horse, the west side looks like a divine bird spreading its wings, and the north side looks like a winding long snake.

There is a long river for hundreds of miles in front of us for irrigation! We live close to the mountains!

The divine horse is the Azure Dragon on the left, and the divine bird is the White Tiger on the right, with the mountain behind them and the water in front, embracing them on both sides.

The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger entered the game.

This is the most typical feng shui pattern, which is really good.

The scenery, in particular, is beautiful and pleasant, and is of top quality.

However... she was looking for the map not for feng shui, but to help Chen Xiaodao find places like mass graves and circles of the dead.

Finally, after two hours of searching, she found a suitable place.

They are all people who have died before, and died tragically.

Only after telling Chen Xiaodao about the geographical location did Feng Zhibai feel much more comfortable.

I went back to sleep happily, and waited for the right time at night to call Chen Xiaodao to go find ghosts.

Chen Xiaodao knew he couldn't escape, so he took his things and went out at night without waiting for Feng Zhibai to call him.

Lao Mi Tou couldn't help, so he could only send him to the gate of the community and then told him: Come back early.

In the first few days, he didn't come back until one or two in the morning, and every time he came back, he was covered in wounds.

The scratches on his face and body were all broken.

Old Mitou wiped his wounds, but he kept cursing, saying that the evil ghost was unethical and kept scratching him.

Feng Zhibai just sat on the sofa and listened to him scolding. After he finished, he started to scold him: "If you are incompetent, then you are incompetent. Don't put the blame on the ghost."

These words directly stimulated him.

The next morning, Feng Zhibai and Lao Mi Tou didn't get up yet, so he got up first.

He rushed into the room, woke everyone up one by one, and without saying a word, he carried his bag and headed to the park full of energy.

This really got Old Mitou involved.

Neither of them gave in and almost swept up Feng Zhibai, the scoundrel.

Maybe the hard work paid off.

In the following few days, Chen Xiaodao came back earlier and earlier, with fewer and fewer injuries on his body, and brought back more and more Feng Guiwengs.

From one at the beginning, to two, three, and four later.

Although the skills of the little ghosts inside are not very high, it can be seen that Chen Xiaodao is indeed making progress.

Feng Zhibai was also very satisfied. The boy was able to display his abilities.

At the end of the month, when preparing to summarize, Feng Zhibai didn't even ask him for a summary, but he took out a ghost-catching summary of nearly thirty pages!

The content is: the types of ghosts caught and the formation of ghost energy.

What kind of talismans, formations, and steps are used.

What are their respective functions, how to unfold and write them, how to draw the talisman, what is the talisman head, and what seal is used.

It's so clear!

Even the pictures of the symbols are there!

In conclusion, he also wrote the story of the little ghost.

Feng Zhibai sat in the room, turned on a small lamp, and read the ghost catching summary written by Yi Yechen Xiaodao.

Finally, he revised his ghost-catching summary and made it into a book.

What is written in this book will be the most valuable experience in Chen Xiaodao's monastic career.
