Chapter 372 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 43

After the Autumn Examination, Jia Lang rested for several days. Only after he recovered completely did he start to check the information in his mind. The jade slip recorded the cultivation methods, which contained four cultivation methods, among which the Seven Emotions and Six Desires cultivation method practiced by Fairy Jinghuan was one of them.

The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Method, as the name suggests, is to practice by experiencing the seven emotions and six desires of the human world. It is a kind of experience method similar to entering the world and leaving the world. The advantage is that the method is powerful and the practice speed is very fast. There are thirteen levels in total. After each emotion is successfully practiced, it will become a level. When all thirteen levels are practiced, one can completely become a god in charge of the seven emotions and six desires of the human world.

But this technique also has its shortcomings. If one does not have a full experience and cannot see through it while practicing it, one will go astray. Not only will one not be able to become a god, but one may even completely become a mortal.

Jia Lang read the requirements for practicing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Falun Dafa and suspected that Fairy Jinghuan must have taken a shortcut. Practicing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Falun Dafa requires one to enter the world and experience all kinds of emotions, but Fairy Jinghuan used the fairy herbs in the Grand Illusionary Realm to collect the corresponding emotions.

Jia Lang's own situation is very suitable for practicing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Dharma. After all, he can be reborn into many people to experience different lives. But Jia Lang thought about it carefully and was sure that there were some emotions that he might not be able to let go of. The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Dharma had too high requirements for one's character, and Jia Lang had no confidence.

In this case, he could only look at other ways of cultivation. In addition to the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Method, the jade slips also contained the method of Zen meditation, the method of life and death, and the method of merit.

As the name suggests, the method of Zen meditation requires the practitioner to perceive with his whole body and mind, to perceive the mountains, rivers and streams, to purify himself, to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, to abandon his own desires, and to devote himself to the communication between man and the universe.

The law of life and death is quite special. You can either comprehend the great truth between life and death, or choose to devote yourself to one of the two paths, either the path of saving people and seeking survival, or the path of killing people and seeking death.

The last method of accumulating merit is similar to the so-called sainthood through merit, which is to gain merit by doing good deeds and then wait for the merit to accumulate to a certain level before upgrading until one finally becomes a saint.

These four methods are: one is to cultivate emotions, one is to cultivate the body, one is to cultivate choices, and the last one is to cultivate morality.

Jia Lang looked at it and found that except for the second one, which was for physical cultivation, he could not practice it, he could practice the other three. But Jia Lang had no confidence in the first one, and Jia Lang had no medical skills and did not want to kill people, so he could only practice the last one, which was for moral cultivation.

Although Jia Lang is sometimes not very moral, she believes that she has been influenced by the mainstream socialist values. She may be a little indifferent about small matters, but she has no problem when it comes to major issues.

Besides, choosing the fourth technique has another advantage for Jia Lang, which is that it does not require a certain environment.

Unlike the Seven Emotions and Six Desires method, which requires one to be in the whirlpool of various emotions, the way of Zen meditation requires one to be in an environment with abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the way of life and death is even more troublesome, at least requiring a society with less sound laws to practice. Only the way of merit does not restrict the environment, whether it is modern society, ancient society or other worlds, as long as one does good things recognized by the way of heaven, one can gain merit.

This is really perfect for Jia Lang who has signed a contract with the system.

After making the decision, Jia Lang stopped worrying about it. He put aside the cultivation methods of the other three techniques in his mind and focused on checking the cultivation method of the Way of Merit.

The first step is to get into position and begin to feel the power of cause and effect in your body according to the method taught in the jade slip. The second step is to follow the various cause and effect lines wrapped around your body and find the golden line that belongs to merit.

Jia Lang's first step went smoothly. She didn't expect that she would soon feel the power of cause and effect in herself as soon as she closed her eyes. After thinking about it, perhaps this was related to the fact that she had absorbed the energy of heaven and earth from the spiritual jade before. At that time, her mental power had the ability of internal vision, and this must be the reason for this.

But the second step was not so easy. Jia Lang was entangled with countless causal forces. Following the extension of these lines, Jia Lang found that except for a few connected to the people in this world, most of them extended to nowhere.

I guess it should be another world, right? But if that's the case, then when I go to another world and meet other people, there will be many more causal lines. How can I practice when I'm tangled up in causal lines?

Fortunately, the solution to this problem is in the jade slip. The causal line can be cut off by severing cause and effect. Jia Lang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it could be cut off. It seems that he will have to go to the previous worlds again in the future. Otherwise, it would be too tiring for the eyes to always have so many causal lines hanging around.

After practicing for a few days, Jia Lang finally found the merit lines on his body. The good news was that Jia Lang had quite a lot of merit lines on his body. The bad news was that it was very difficult to absorb the merits, and Jia Lang could not achieve any results in a short time.

While Jia Lang was studying and practicing, the results of the autumn examination came out. Jia Lang performed as steadily as ever and got the first place. When the person who brought the good news came to the door, Grandmother Jia was so happy that she not only spent a lot of money, but also planned to host a three-day banquet to celebrate for Jia Lang.

Jia Lang had to persuade Lady Jia with all his might. On the other side, Jia She wanted to make trouble again. Fortunately, the people from the second house were very helpful and they said something to suppress Jia She.

Not long after, Jia Lang left and his first stop was Gusu.

Now that Lin Daiyu and Jia Lian are still staying in the Lin Mansion and have not returned, Jia's grandmother wants Jia Lang to take over Lin Ruhai's network of connections among the literati, so she specifically finds Jia Lang and gives him some advice. The Jia family is of noble origin and has no connections among the literati. If Jia Lang does not have help, it will be difficult for him to make a name for himself in the future.

Grandmother Jia was well aware of this. From what Jia Lang told her about the future, she realized that if the Jia family wanted to regain their glory in the future, they could only rely on the imperial examination. If they did not plan ahead, once Lin Ruhai died, the entire Jia family would only have Jia Lang, a scholar, to support it, and that would be detrimental to the Jia family's revival.

Judging from Jia Baoyu's temperament, he is not a good student. Grandmother Jia can only count on Jia Lan's generation. Fortunately, after learning about Jia Baoyu, she found out that with the example of Jia Lang, Jia Huan from the second room studied diligently under Jia Zheng's arrangement, and Jia Zhong from the first room was chosen by Xing as the hope for the future and is also studying now. Needless to say, Jia Lan, the son of Jia Zhu, has his father's fame in front and the hope of the Li family behind him, so he is naturally willing to study hard.

If this continues, once Jia Lang has established himself, the younger generations in the Jia family will probably have someone to rely on and will be able to study more attentively.

Jia Lang was shocked by Jia's mother's desire to drain all the assets of the Lin family, but he had to agree that what Jia's mother said was right. It was just that Jia Lang was unwilling to do so, but he did not expect that Lin Ruhai himself was quite willing to do so.

Looking at the letter Lin Ruhai wrote to Jia's mother, Jia Lang was completely confused. Lin Ruhai entrusted Lin Daiyu and all of the Lin family's millions of wealth to Jia's mother before his death. This was no different from his previous life. The only difference was that in his previous life, when Lin Ruhai entrusted his mother to the care of his mother, he also mentioned the engagement between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, but in this life, Lin Daiyu's engagement partner changed from Jia Baoyu to himself.
