"In fact, foundation building is to temper your body to a more perfect state and make up for more or less congenital defects in the human body. Generally, foundation building can be carried out from an early age, so that you can have outstanding physical fitness and be free from all kinds of diseases since childhood. No invasion." Yun Jinghong said.
"Then why didn't my father help me build the foundation earlier when I was trained and baptized since I was a child, so that I could start cultivating earlier?" Wang Bugui frowned slightly in confusion.
"Although your body has received training and some baptism since childhood, it is not a true foundation-building method. It can only be said that the starting point of your cultivation is stabilized at a very high point. The real foundation-building requires various It was completed with all the treasures of heaven and earth, so your father must not have been so prepared at the time."
"That's why I can only help you make your body closer to perfection. The more flawless your body is, the higher your starting point will be after building the foundation. And if I help you complete the hundred-day foundation building, your foundation will be so solid that it can be called It's a terrifying situation, this will make your subsequent cultivation journey more smooth and smooth." Yun Jinghong answered.
"I see, my father has really good intentions! Master, hurry up and teach me how to build a foundation. My father has been helping me build my body for three years, and now is the time to realize the results of his methods." Wang Bugui waved his hands and said excitedly .
"Don't worry, I'll teach you now. Just sit tight." Yun Jinghong said with a faint smile.
Then he asked Wang Bugui to sit cross-legged on the grass, put his hands together and make seals flat between his legs, relax his whole body and just follow the method he taught him.
"Don't let go of the Taoist seals with your hands, and let your heart go. Don't let go of the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Slowly, saliva will come out in your mouth. Don't swallow it in a hurry. When you have a mouthful, swallow it in three mouthfuls. At the same time, let go of all distracting thoughts in your mind. Just think of the spell I imparted to you.”
"This is the mantra for purifying the heart: Taishangtaixing, endless adaptability, exorcism and binding of evil spirits, protection of life and body, clear wisdom, peace of mind, eternal soul, and no loss of soul." Yun Jinghong carefully taught him the method of building the foundation.
The Pure Mind Mantra is originally the first of the eight Taoist mantras. As the name suggests, it is a mantra used by Taoists to purify the body and mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and calm the mind when doing morning and evening homework and learning talismans. This mantra can make the ordinary mind enter the silence, return to the Taoist mind, enter the tranquility, and have the effect of protecting the soul and soul.
Therefore, Wang Bugui kept his posture still as he said, and at the same time recited the mantras silently in his heart, and his restless heart gradually calmed down. Until the end, his heart was as empty as still water. Coupled with Yun Jinghong's help behind the scenes, he has entered a mysterious and mysterious realm that is indescribable.
At this moment, Wang Bugui seemed to be able to feel that he was gradually integrating with his soul. Looking at the world with his soul, he discovered that the whole world was actually filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
This kind of aura seems to exist in the outside world, but it is not as strong as inside. There are cyan and golden auras falling from the sky, and yellow auras pouring out of the earth mixed with the auras of various exotic flowers and plants. There is a dense purple aura near the purple waterfall.
It was the first time that he knew that this world had such a mysterious side, and he was extremely shocked. Moreover, he found that he could absorb the energy himself. As he slowly breathed out, the turbid air in his body exchanged with these spiritual energies, and he felt as if his whole body had been purified by these breaths.
"It's magical, isn't it? This is the world of monks. Welcome fellow Taoists to the world of mortal cultivation. I have passed the position of Ren and Du's two meridians to you, feel the aura of heaven and earth with your heart, and take them into the body and transform them into inner Qi along Ren and Du. The Du Second Meridian circulates once, and this is the Little Zhoutian. After tempering the whole body, I will also inject a little of my own Qi into you, so you can make use of it!"
Yun Jinghong smiled and then circulated a stream of pure energy into his body. Wang Bugui carefully controlled the energy to transform into energy in his body, and then ran along the Ren and Du Meridians pointed out by Yun Jinghong.
As the Qi moved slowly, he could feel that the meridians of flesh, blood, and bones were undergoing transformation. Although it was almost imperceptible, he could feel the changes slowly taking place.
For ascetics, time always passes very quickly, because every time you practice the path, you need to devote yourself wholeheartedly. When you finish doing the exercises you should do, you will find that a long time has passed in the day. And this becomes more and more true in the later stages. Some monks measure their time in months and years as soon as they meditate and practice in seclusion. Some people even get stuck in one place and don’t know how to take the next step, so they will go into seclusion for tens or even hundreds of years.
And the true immortals and powerful ones in the prehistoric and ancient times are even more durable. The true immortals live as long as the heaven and the earth, and it is not a problem to remain in seclusion for tens or millions of years. A powerful person also has a period of seclusion for ten thousand years, and after appearing, he directly attains enlightenment and ascends to immortality.
"Wake up, kid, don't be too hasty in practicing Taoism. Take a rest." Yun Jinghong woke Wang Bugui from the mysterious realm.
"What's wrong, Master? I've only been practicing Taoism for about half an hour?" Wang Bugui's face was full of confusion. He knew very well that he had only been practicing Taoism for less than half an hour, so why did the master wake him up and let him take a rest? , can't be too hasty
"I know you think your cultivation time is only about half an hour, but now it's been three hours." Yun Jinghong looked at his puzzled face and smiled helplessly.
"What?! Three hours? Six hours have passed?" Wang Bugui could not believe that he had practiced Taoism for so long.
"Haha, when monks practice Taoism, they often forget about themselves and time. Because practicing Taoism requires full concentration, they feel that time passes too fast. It is expected that you would have such a reaction. In fact, time is really nothing to former monks. , because even after building a foundation, one can live three hundred years longer than ordinary people, and the lifespan of a powerful person is tens of thousands of years."
"It's just that the world has changed now and is no longer suitable for practicing Taoism. Even if I have reached the realm of great power, I will only have a life span of three thousand years. But even so, monks are still willing to pass time like this when cultivating Taoism. After all, only by fully investing their body and mind can they be effective. You It’s good to be able to experience this for the first time in practicing Taoism. But don’t be too impatient. To practice Taoism, you need to gain a firm foothold step by step. If you rush to achieve success, it will be difficult to make up for the shortcomings later.”
Yun Jinghong explained the truth carefully, and Wang Bugui nodded after hearing it. It turns out that cultivating Taoism is such a long time but it takes a blink of an eye.
"Okay, that's it for today. Come with me to dinner. You can continue practicing if you want after dinner." Yun Jinghong patted Wang Bugui's head and said with a smile.
"Ouch!" This slap almost knocked Wang Bugui over, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only cover his head and leave with him. After all, he only had enough food to have the strength to practice. Now he has imagined in his mind all kinds of delicacies that he has never seen before, as well as all kinds of animal barbecues.
However, the reality is very cruel. There is nothing like Lanzhi's magical soup, purple waterfall boiled fish, or barbecued exotic birds and beasts that he imagined.
"Is this my dinner? I must not have woken up yet, right?" Wang Bugui looked at the green vegetables and white steamed buns on the stone table and felt that he must have not woken up from his dream. This is not as good as the time he spent wandering around these days. The food is good.
"What haven't you woken up from? This is the fact. People who practice Taoism can drink nectar to satisfy their hunger and not eat the fireworks of the world. You are doing well now. After you build the foundation, try your best to live without grains and eat some fruits every day." Yun Jinghong He shook his hand and said.
"Then why do you have chicken, duck, fish and meat on your table?" Wang Bugui said with a dark look on his face, saying that he didn't like the fireworks of the world, but it turned out that there was wine and meat on his table, all good things.
"At this level, I no longer need to control what food I eat. Moreover, I am traveling around the mortal world, so I would like to experience the life of a mortal. Besides, if I eat these foods in front of you, it will also be a test for you." Yun said. Jinghong said with a smile, he didn't show any respect for his master at all, he looked like a wretched person with a face as thick as a city wall.
Wang Bugui was so angry that his teeth chattered, but he had no choice but to pick up the steamed bun and start chewing on it, one bite of steamed bun and one bite of green vegetables.
"Master, the food you cook is too unpalatable!" Wang Bugui has never eaten such unpalatable vegetables.
"This is not fried by me, but specially packaged for you. This is called stir-fried bitter melon, and the one over there is called green phoenix tail, which is lettuce." Yun Jinghong said with a bad smile, which made Wang Bugui roll his eyes. Throw it away.
"And white jade clear soup!"
"Isn't it just tofu soup?"
"This is called Purple Tree Blossom!"
"It's obviously fried eggplant."
"There's another Izuku beauty here!"
“One salad tomato makes it so high-end!”
Yun Jinghong tore the big pieces of meat with his mouth while he chuckled and introduced the good names of each dish. All of them were simple light vegetarian dishes, which made Wang Bugui feel dizzy. But he still finished eating with a dark face, otherwise he would really be hungry at night.
After the shabby dinner, Wang Bugui went back to practice meditation in front of the purple waterfall. Late at night, he returned to the side hall to sleep. It was bound to be difficult for him to fall asleep tonight, because his stomach had already begun to growl.
In this way, Wang Bugui started his foundation-building journey every day. He got up at dawn every day, and then went to the Purple Waterfall to build the foundation. After that, Yun Jinghong would ask him to take a medicinal bath in the evening when faced with those tasteless vegetarian steamed bun meals.
The water is collected from the purple waterfall, and the medicinal materials are also various exotic herbs that grow around the purple waterfall. These are the Purple Spirit Foundation-Building Liquids specially prepared by Yun Jinghong for him. Every time he soaks them, he feels that his body has been tempered and become stronger.
Yun Jinghong was right. Although it is a long time for monks to practice Taoism, every time it takes is just a snap of a finger. After Wang Bugui gradually adapted to the life here, he felt that time passed faster. This night was already the 100th day of foundation building.
"Master, why is today's Foundation Building Liquid so effective?" Wang Bugui noticed something strange as soon as he soaked in the medicinal bath. Although it was still purple medicinal liquid, he could clearly feel that the effect was far more powerful than before, and the purple liquid was still flowing towards him. With other color transformations, this medicinal solution can even be worth the potency of the past ninety-nine days.
"You have been a hundred days old, and this last foundation-building liquid will completely solidify your foundation, so I have added all the medicinal materials that have been in the Yuxu Pure Land for tens of thousands of years. There is also the Yuxu Body Tempering Liquid passed down by the ancestors. , now there are only two people left, and I will give them all to you."
"This time I will devote all my resources to you alone. If you can reproduce the power of my human emperor, it will be worth it. If not, I will be a sinner for the ages. At least I believe in your father's judgment and the ancestor's judgment. "
Yun Jinghong said seriously, and Wang Bugui was very moved after hearing this. Although this master was usually careless and unreliable, he never gave up on his own affairs. He could even be said to be extremely serious. He secretly made up his mind to do whatever it takes. He also lived up to the high expectations of all those who believed in him.
"Buzz"
Waves of Taoist sounds came from the medicinal liquid, and various runes intertwined with the medicinal liquid and blended into Wang Bugui's body. Then Yun Jinghong also cast a spell to help him blend with the medicinal liquid. In the end, he only saw a flash of five-color glow in the sky, and Wang Bugui After completing the foundation building, he stood up from the medicine basin.
His whole body was filled with radiant five-color treasures, and his whole body was filled with purple energy. His eyes were as clear and bright as black jade, and his whole body looked as ethereal and elegant as a banished immortal who had fallen into the world of mortals.
"Very good, the effect is better than I expected. Go to bed early today, and tomorrow I will help you draw Qi into your body and start the formal cultivation of the Immortal Path." Yun Jinghong nodded and smiled, and you can see a kind of heartfelt expression between his brows. Feeling proud, he was pleased that he had such a good apprentice.
Wang Bugui smiled back at him with his big white teeth, and then returned to the side hall to go to bed. He was also looking forward to how he would draw Qi into his body tomorrow.
