Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 65: The Decision to Learn Magic

Perhaps it is difficult to understand the emptiness of the practice of Six-Mountain Meditation, which has been explained in detail by the Landers Mage for several pages, not least of which is his self-righteous speculation. But in Claude's view, it's the simplest, isn't it, the so-called quieting and deafening of Qi Kung in previous life? No big fuss.

The only thing that makes Claude wonder is that in the underworld, spiritual force engraves a standard six-mounted star pattern and attracts ubiquitous elemental photons to the six corners of the six-mounted star and transforms them into their own magic. So the question is, what part of the human body is this empty state?

As those who practiced Qi Kung in previous life said, Qi walks through the fields and performs the scriptures. Although the presence of dantian and ganglia was denied in human science, neither of these positions could be found in the anatomy. But those who know about TCM know that the meridians are all over the body, and Dantian is three inches below the umbilical cord. In addition, Dantian is divided into three positions, which are unintentional and invisible.

If emptiness is a state of mind sensation in which the mind is emptied, then what is said later is that drawing the photons of the six light stars and transforming them into magic is obviously not present in the state of mental imagination. Just like practicing qigong, it senses luck walking through the meridian and eventually returns to Dantian. This hollow state should also be somewhere in the human body, which is why it is said to imagine itself as a container for magic and to mobilize the external output of the transformed magic in the six stars.

But Master Landers did not answer Claude's question in his diary, which he should not have thought of at all. In his diary, he wrote that when practicing Six-Mountain Meditation, priority can be given to attracting those elemental photons that have the highest affinity with themselves and driving away those that have low affinity, so that when elemental photons are converted into magic, they can either increase the speed of conversion or obtain more pure magic. He also found this at the point of Brother Davary, which was also a key point of his promotion to a first-degree scribe in three months.

According to the diary, if the attracted elemental photons have a variety of properties when practicing six-mangle meditation, light tuning and these elemental photons will take a lot of effort and time, some elemental photons will offset each other, such as fire and water elements will swallow each other, wood and earth elements will coincide, light and dark elements will extinguish each other, etc...

So attracting the same elemental photons during practice is the best way to transform magic, especially with elemental photons that have the highest affinity for themselves. It doesn't matter if you haven't been tested for magic talent. As long as you practise Six-Mounth meditation, you can sense which element photons converge fastest, then the practitioner will know which element photons have the highest affinity with you.

It is also noteworthy that, in addition to elemental affinity, the spiritual strength of the practitioner is also an important key. In the opinion of Master Landers, his spiritual strength played a very significant role in being able to advance to a first-degree scribe within three months.

When the magic talent was tested, Master Landers' fire element affinity was nine and mental strength eight. After Brother Dawari's pointer, he specializes in attracting elemental photons from fire and driving away elemental photons from other properties when practicing Six-Mounth Meditation, and with the help of strong mental power, he did so without any effort. It even accelerates the speed of attracting fire element photons, filling six triangles in the shortest amount of time while transforming into its own magic.

Claude stayed up all night and finished reading this diary. It's just that most of what the later Diary Landers Mage has documented is his knowledge and experience of learning the alchemy of the puzzle magic after becoming a puzzle magician, as well as his experiences and feelings as an assistant to those puzzles, which is a little too early for Claude.

Claude, the part of the diary about the Six-Mountain Meditation practice, has looked carefully three times and has carried almost everything down. What he's thinking now is, do you want to start practicing this six-mounted meditation based on this part of the diary?

It was a decision to take a step forward and never come back, and Claude had to think again and again. This is not the secret book of martial arts, private practice ultimately strikes amazing. This is magic, which is currently forbidden and taboo throughout the Farea continent, and the consequence of becoming a magician is eternal darkness, so long as one is found to be magical, it will be hunting and killing one's self, or fleeing all over the continent.

Maybe I can only relax to Higros Island, where the wicked wizard is, but can I go myself? This diary was left by Master Landers, who was the one who helped Riggs. Baron O'Hill is a key figure in the rebel magician's reign, without his improved fire rope gun and that magic crystal burst powder, Riggs. Baron O'Hill will not succeed in seizing the magician's holy city of San Paz and driving the remaining magicians to Higros, far from the Farea continent...

If you go to the island, the magician over there asks you what to say about your magic inheritance. When it is impossible to confirm the attitude of those magicians on Higros Island, it is impossible to go to that island yourself. Who knows if the magician over there has a history of the rebellion of Master Landers and Master Davari. He went there with the diary of Master Landers himself. It was a self-throwing net, and that's not how he died...

If you don't learn magic, the path your father gave you in life can be considered very safe and secure. A year and a half later, he went to the Nubian mainland to run off to the godfather he'd never met, Governor Jerry Hawthorne of Tilsim. Viscount Van Cruise enlisted in the army, a life full of variables, but better than a fearful fear of being discovered after learning magic all day...

Without learning magic, I was unwilling to learn magic myself. I finally crossed it once. In a magical world, I couldn't learn magic because of safety issues. It really hurts my balls...

Claude knew very well that he was now facing another life-choice. One is the path of military enlistment arranged at home, which is safe and secure, and it can be expected that in the future, I may become a famous person in the place like my father, and live my life in peace. Another is the magical path with an uncertain future. Choosing this path means choosing darkness and danger. Perhaps you will also die young and become an unnamed body on the escape route...

Do you really want to learn magic? Claude really understood that he had already made choices, even if he had found many reasons not to learn magic, but as a traveler, he could not convince himself not to learn magic. Especially now that all the prerequisites for learning magic were fulfilled, he could not restrain his desire to learn magic mysteries...

When the sky was bright, the horn clock of the temple of war rang again, and Bai Lu Town woke up from the silence, quickly regaining the hustle and bustle of the horses.

Claude rubbed his face from his hand and stayed up all night again, having to feel better at school. But now that I've made up my mind, I'm going to start tonight, and I'm going to learn how to practice that six-mounted meditation, and I'm going to take the first step on the magical path.

On the way to school, Bok Al brought you good news. Everyone invested in a Silver Tall target business and finally ended up selling one hundred and seventy-two targets in just half a month, leaving part of the money to prepare, and everyone could get three Silver Tall dividends. The news excited Ericsson and Verricolo, but Claude wasn't thinking about making money right now, and he just laughed to show that he was happy.

After class, Bok Al secretly told Claude that his Sullivan gold coin was likely to be available in the short term. Yesterday, his father invited some friends to a party at home to talk about raising money for an adventure. Bok Al pretended to pack up and accidentally dropped the Sullivan gold coin on the floor, attracting the attention of many of his father's friends. When Bok Al said he picked up the gold coin on the ground, he obviously felt a lot of staring at the Sullivan coin in his hand.

Claude asked him strangely, wouldn't his father care?

Bok Al smiled like a fox who only stole chickens, and he replied that he had already told his father everything and that his father knew he had another Sullivan gold coin in his possession. For his father, a collection would be fine, and there was no need to hide both Sullivan coins. At the same time, Claude was praised for being economically smart and knowing that he was going to make an extra one.

Bourke Alderman tells Claude that in three days, his father's friends will surely find an excuse to meet him and discuss the Sullivan gold coin he dropped on the floor, and he will surely give Claude a good price. Because the coin collection is fashionable among his father's friends, having a Sullivan gold coin as his collection is something worth showing off in front of friends.

All right, I'll leave that up to you. I'll definitely buy you a big meal when I sell you a good price. Claude spreads his mouth and starts remediating in the classroom.

After school, Claude rushed home after rejecting Ericsson's suggestion to invite everyone to go fishing at the pier. He was going to make up for it, and he was going to wake up at night and practice that six-mounted meditation.

Still before dinner, her sister woke up Claude, who went downstairs after a simple wash to explain to her father her hobby for learning Gukherz during this time. Because many languages on the continent are variants of Gukherz, learning good Gukherz is useful for learning other languages. Perhaps when he or she returns from retirement in the future, he or she will be able to pursue the post of a diplomatic envoy in the Kingdom and, if he or she is not able to do so, there will be great prospects for an interpreter.

That explanation satisfied Mr. Morsan, so he was not prepared to pursue Claude's waste of light oil again last night. After a simple dinner, Claude played with his sister and brother for a while, teased Snow Dog again and went back to his little attic under the pretext of learning. Next, it's time to practice meditation.

It can be seen from the diary that practicing the Six-Mountain Meditation has no particular posture, like those kneeling with their feet crossed, five hearts facing the sky, straight back of the waist and nothing at all. Whether you're sitting, standing or lying down, you can do whatever you feel comfortable with. Whatever your body's posture, it is the spirit that enters the underworld as quickly as possible that counts.

Claude tried for half an hour, standing, sitting, lying, and couldn't find a position to relax the whole person. I always feel stiff in one part of my body, either my legs or my hands, I can't relax even if I don't move, or my back itches and I really want to reach out and scratch. In the end, Claude herself was in a hurry...

It wasn't until he saw the silver moon hanging from the sky that Claude moved and climbed out of the window, reclining on the roof and bathing in the silver moonlight. Soon Claude felt calm and comfortable, his body slowly relaxed, and his spirit quickly felt that feeling of underwater in the fluttering...
