Chapter 4484 Chapter 4486 [Meditation Method]
After that, Xiang Nan suffered from headaches for almost a month. It felt like his head was being held in a band. He had headaches all the time and was extremely uncomfortable.
Xiang Nan knew that this was because too much knowledge was crammed into him in a short period of time, causing his brain to be overused. If he hadn't been so smart, his brain would have been burst.
Just like using a Pentium chip to run "Black Myth: Wukong", the chip can directly work to 100%. The fan has no time to dissipate heat, and the chip may eventually be burned.
This also made Xiang Nan frightened for a time. It was almost a month after the headache healed that he dared to hold the crystal skull again.
This time, he wanted to learn the "spiritual development" course of the Saint-Songers/Faithless Clan.
The so-called "spiritual development" means cultivating the mind, which means exercising one's mind and soul. Because the power of the body always has limitations, but the power of the soul has no limit.
Due to their innate physical limitations, the saint-song/faithless clan will never be able to become giants. But they find another way. By exercising the power of their souls and combining the power of the whole clan, they can influence the emotions of many powerful creatures.
Make them like the saint/faithless one so they won't bully them easily. And when they relax their vigilance against the saints/betrayers and reveal their flaws, they can easily be killed by the saints/betrayers.
This is how the saints/betrayers were able to thrive in the chaotic, dark and dangerous last era.
Holding up the crystal skull, Xiang Nan stared into its eyes again, and soon a massive amount of information quickly entered his mind.
Xiang Nan held on as long as he could. When the headache became unbearable, he forced the crystal skull to the side and forcibly disconnected it from the crystal skull.
And the gain this time was not small, he finally got many ways to train his mind.
One of them is "Crystal Meditation", which is to meditate on a flawless and transparent crystal ball in your heart. Once there are distracting thoughts, the crystal ball will become cloudy.
At that time, you need to use your mind to eliminate distracting thoughts, eliminate them over and over again, and purify them over and over again, so that your soul will become more and more transparent and focused.
One is the "Dark Night Meditation Method", which involves placing yourself in complete darkness, imagining that there are scary creatures approaching in the darkness, which may kill you at any time, and then use your own courage to get through this level.
One is the "Happy Meditation Method", which means that when a man and a woman are united, no matter how tempted the other party is, they must be completely free of lust, in order to exercise their mind...
There is also an incomplete method called "Forging Meditation". This meditation method is more dangerous. It is to visualize your soul being repeatedly forged like a hard stone, gradually removing impurities and becoming a piece of gold with 100% purity. ingot.
This process is full of hardships and dangers, and even carelessness may lead to soul injury or death. Not many even the saints/betrayers dare to try this method, so it is considered taboo.
However, data shows that some people have indeed gained powerful spiritual power through this method, and have even become the objects of worship by saints.
…
Xiang Nan then started to have a headache again.
This time because too much information was injected, his headache was worse than last time. It is estimated that he will need to rest for at least two or three months before he can completely relieve it.
Xiang Nan waited for the headache to slowly subside and began to practice according to these techniques.
Joyful meditation is what he practices most often, because he often hangs out with mermaids, Amazons, etc.
When he is alone, Xiang Nan likes to practice crystal meditation.
He did not dare to use the forging meditation method for the time being, because this meditation method was still incomplete and too dangerous, and he did not dare to practice it easily in the short term. Moreover, he has not yet fully deciphered the secret of the Crystal Skull. Perhaps there is a safer and more efficient way to practice.
"The heart is like crystal, transparent and moist. It should be wiped away from time to time to avoid distracting thoughts..." Xiang Nan sat upright, forming a meditation seal with his hands, and meditating. There is a crystal ball in his mind, which is clear and round.
Soon the crystal ball was meditated by him. After all, he had practiced in the world of "Myth" for more than two thousand years, and his spiritual thoughts were also very powerful.
But as soon as the crystal ball came out of meditation, many distracting thoughts appeared immediately, making the originally clear and transparent crystal ball immediately become turbid and dirty.
Xiang Nan knows that these are the selfish thoughts deep in his heart, which are usually hidden deep in his heart and will not show up easily. But now when I use the "Crystal Meditation Method" to exercise, they finally appear without any trace.
Just like you don't usually see many bad guys on the street, but when it comes to cracking down on gangs and evil, these bad guys are all caught out from the corners.
Xiang Nan examined these selfish thoughts and found that he had quite a lot of selfish thoughts.
There are selfish motives that are greedy for money, there are selfish motives that are lustful, there are selfish motives that are afraid of death, there are selfish motives that are deceptive... there are all kinds of them.
Xiang Nan felt deeply ashamed after seeing it. He didn't expect that deep down in his heart, he was so dirty.
"No wonder there is a saying that is good, only the human heart and the sun cannot be looked directly at." He couldn't help but sigh.
This was still him examining his own heart, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't bear to look at it. If someone else saw it, he would really die on the spot and be ashamed of himself.
Afterwards, Xiang Nan eliminated these selfish thoughts one by one.
This process is naturally not easy. The so-called doing good is like ascending, doing evil is like falling. The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread spinning.
These selfish and distracting thoughts are "diseases", which are diseases in the heart that come and go quickly. To eliminate these selfish and distracting thoughts, one must put in one thousand percent effort.
Only through constant review, constant correction, and constant repentance, day after day, year after year, can we achieve success.
Although the efficiency is not high, the "Nirvana Sutra" Xiang Nan obtained in "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is much better than before.
According to Xiang Nan's estimation, the efficiency is almost three to five times that of the Nirvana Sutra.
…
While Xiang Nan was practicing, another warship was sent to Port Royal, which was the newly designed and built British warship HMS Interceptor.
The biggest advantage of this warship is that it is light and fast. When the wind is downwind, the speed of an ordinary three-masted sailboat is only about 14 or 15 knots.
However, the Interceptor warship adopts new construction technology, the hull is lighter and thinner, and the sail layout is more reasonable. Therefore, the speed of the ship can reach up to 18 knots, which is much higher than the average three-masted sailboat.
Therefore, it can be said that it is invincible when used to intercept ships. In the entire Caribbean, it is estimated that only the Black Pearl can run faster than it when the wind is downwind.
And another big advantage of the Interceptor is that there are fewer sailors required to operate the ship. It is said that if you are an experienced sailor, even one person can operate the ship.
The addition of the Interceptor greatly strengthened the military strength of Port Royal.
Xiang Nan's military rank was also promoted from major to lieutenant colonel in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the security of Port Royal.
