Chapter 117 The Temperament of a Gentleman

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the light shining through the windows slowly becomes dim.

Until the entire bedroom was plunged into darkness.

"Uu——"

Fang Cheng opened his eyes, took a long breath, and shook his head slightly.

I just used my concentration skill and tried to meditate, and I almost fell asleep.

I felt quite relaxed and comfortable, but I didn't reach the so-called "meditation" state at all.

I deliberately gave myself a day off today.

Fang Cheng played snowball fights with Wen Xin and Zhou Xiumei in the morning, and then went to the supermarket to shop.

After that, I stayed at home and practiced meditation, but I still got nothing out of it.

So, I went to the audio-visual store in Wu Datong in the afternoon and borrowed a few discs about how yoga masters and Buddhist monks practice spiritual practice.

After watching it for half a day, I gained a more comprehensive knowledge base.

But in the actual practice process, Fang Cheng always felt that something crucial was missing.

As a result, I can only achieve a preliminary state of "tranquility", but cannot successfully reach a higher level of "concentration".

Fang Cheng vaguely felt that the mental state when using the concentration skill was actually very similar to the "stopping and observing" in Zen Buddhism.

The so-called "stopping and observing" is a method of blessing practice before reaching concentration.

Samatha is the process of focusing on an object, such as breathing or a specific thought, through meditation, sitting in meditation or other methods, in order to stop distracting thoughts and achieve inner peace and concentration.

Contemplation, on the basis of cessation, involves in-depth observation and thinking of the object of focus, understanding its essence and meaning, and ultimately opening up a certain wisdom.

It’s just that the “focused” state has stronger purpose and practicality.

And when you devote yourself wholeheartedly to an activity, you will often feel a high degree of excitement and satisfaction.

However, "stopping and observing" seems to emphasize more on a peaceful and tranquil state of mind, seeking to cut off the five senses' perception of the outside world so that emotions cannot arise at all.

Fang Cheng guessed secretly.

The real difference between the two may be the key to whether one can reach the state of "meditation".

"It seems that I need a master to teach me how to do this systematically..."

Fang Cheng raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the postcard with the spell written on it.

Maybe... I can enter that mysterious space again, contact the guy who sent me the letter, and ask for the answer.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Fang Cheng shook his head and rejected it flatly.

No one knows whether the other party has any malicious intentions.

Before your strength has been significantly improved, it is best not to take the initiative to encounter some unpredictable dangers.

After thinking about it, Fang Cheng decided to go to the meditation class upstairs in the club and sign up for it to give it a try.

Then he silently calculated the available funds in his wallet.

Today is only January 1th, and there are still more than ten days until the salary payment date on the 8th.

In order to purchase weapons and equipment, he had already advanced 20,000 yuan.

There is less than 9 yuan left in the bank card. This money has to be kept for my grandfather's surgery and cannot be touched anymore.

Fortunately, after receiving Ma Donghe's blood recovery reminder, he also picked up a few submachine guns and two valuable items in Wu Shihao's office.

Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt a little more confident.

In a few days, let Ma Dong Hyuk help take care of it, and there should be enough money to solve all the problems.

While thinking, I suddenly felt a slight pain in my head.

Fang Cheng rubbed his brows and quickly got up from the bed.

I'm going to go to the bathroom downstairs to take a hot bath to relax, and then go to bed early after dinner.

Because I fell into a state of madness last time and was mentally overdrawn too much, I haven't fully recovered yet.

You need to try to get enough rest during these two days.

....................................

The next day.

Jiangdong District, Global Elite Fighting Club.

On the training ground, muscular and energetic trainees can be seen everywhere, some lifting barbells and doing strength training, while others punching and kicking sandbags vigorously.

The sound of "Huha" cheering continued to ring out, mixed with the smell of sweat in the air, and the training atmosphere was very strong.

Fang Cheng had just finished a sparring class and looked at his increased 5 points of Sanda experience.

Then he sat on the ground and changed his shoes, preparing to leave after get off work.

Several professional players nearby were discussing a super battle between the Black and White Devils held at the KFC game last night.

"Razor really has an iron chin. If I were to go up there and punch him, I'd be knocked out!"

"White Bear's punches are powerful and his fighting style is flexible. It seems that he has a great chance to challenge Zheng Haokang's defending champion..."

Amid the discussion, a Sanda player turned his head to look at Fang Cheng, who seemed to be worried, and said:
"Ah Cheng, did you not sleep well last night?"

"what happened?"

Fang Cheng looked at him with a little surprise.

The contestant smiled and said:
"Look in the mirror and you'll see. Your eyes are as red as a rabbit's."

"Oh, yes."

Fang Cheng seemed to suddenly realize something, then he raised his hand to rub his eyes and yawned.

"I stayed up all night watching DVDs last night. I'm a little tired. I have to go home early in the afternoon to catch up on some sleep."

Everyone started to laugh at him when they heard this, wondering if he had overdrawn his energy because he had a girlfriend.

Fang Cheng smiled slightly and did not argue.

After being reminded, I remembered that there was another very important thing that needed to be done immediately.

After walking out of the club door, Fang Cheng did not go downstairs directly, but went to a brand eyewear store on the same floor.

The lighting in the store is soft and the atmosphere is quiet and elegant.

A shopping guide came up to me with a smile on her face:

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

After taking a look at the dazzling array of glasses in the glass cabinet, Fang Cheng replied:

"I want a pair of plain glasses, preferably one that can block out the harsh light and make my eyes look softer..."

After listening to the specific requirements raised by the customer, the salesgirl quickly selected several suitable pairs of glasses from the cupboard and asked Fang Cheng to try them on one by one.

A few minutes later.

Fang Cheng, wearing a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses, stood in front of the mirror and admired himself.

The handsome guy in the mirror had a completely different temperament. He became so gentle and elegant that he looked nothing like his original self.

If he doesn't take off his shirt and show his strong muscles, he will be a typical "gentlemanly scoundrel".

Of course, these are not important.

The most important thing is that the faint red light flashing in the pupils was finally concealed to a certain extent.

If you didn't get close and look closely, it would be difficult to notice anything unusual.

"Sir, these glasses really suit your temperament. You look like the second male lead in an idol drama."

The salesgirl cupped her hands and praised the product highly.

"Yes, yes, it's really very gentle!"

Not only her, but the other two female sales clerks also came over, with little stars twinkling in their eyes.

Fang Cheng's face darkened when he heard this.

Aren’t the second male leads in idol dramas always third parties who are dedicated to destroying the relationship between the male and female protagonists, or innocent lickers who silently give their all?
Although he had some complaints about their reviews, Fang Cheng was still very satisfied with the quality of the glasses themselves.

What's more, the price of more than 200 yuan is not expensive.

After paying the money readily, he simply put on the pair of gold-rimmed glasses and walked out of the store.

At this moment, a phone rang in the bag.

Fang Cheng took out his cell phone and glanced at the number displayed.

"Is it Lin Chuqiao?"
