"Preach to you and give you karma, and they are your reborn parents. You must listen to Master's teachings, honor Master, help him when he is in trouble, take care of him when he is old, inherit his mantle and will, and do not disobey the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Can you do all of that?"

"Yes!" Zhang Jiabao replied loudly, feeling a little sacred in his little heart at this moment.

"Very good! From now on, you and I will be brothers!" Li Bangcang helped him up. Untied the rope string around his neck, there were five square hole coins, and three were given to him.

"This is a fortune-telling object that has been with Master for many years, and it was given to me when I was twelve years old. It is used for divination, if you meet an invincible person, drop your own essence and blood in it, recite a mantra, you can incarnate the ether and enter the hole, and instantly reach dozens of miles away, saving a life. ”

"There were six pieces of this treasure coin, and Master took one of them five years ago, and there were five left. You three and I two, keep it well, don't use it until you have to, use it once and break one piece. ”

has seen the miracle of the disintegration of thousands of branches, Zhang Jiabao did not make much waves in his heart. The shape and size of these three copper coins were similar to those of today, except for the incomprehensible font engraved on one side, nothing else was special.

"It's written in ancient times, and even Master can't read it. Li Bangcang explained with a smile, "Be particular when you use it, where the side with the word is facing, you will teleport in which direction." This secret must not be left in the hands of the enemy, otherwise even if it is used, it will not escape tracking. ”

"Wow......" Zhang Jiabao suddenly cried, he could feel that Li Bangcang really regarded himself as a junior brother and gave him precious things, and his love was overflowing. I can't help but think of my father and mother, and Shangguan Naiya, who doesn't know where to go. How are they doing? Are they worried and thin?

"Silly junior brother, what are you crying about? Li Bangcang squatted down, held Zhang Jiabao's small fist with his warm big hand, and clutched the three copper coins, "I'll pass you a spell now, you remember it." Then he spat out a long series of strange sounds that knotted his tongue.

"What does that mean?" asked Zhang Jiabao, sobbing.

"In today's words, it is: Turtle grandson, if you can't catch me today, I will beat you 10,000 times in the future. ”

Zhang Jiabao burst into tears and laughed.

"Are you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy. ”

"If you are not sleepy, you will sleep first, and I will start teaching you tomorrow. ”

......

The two slept by the waterhole all night, but in fact, there was no day or night at the bottom of the abyss, and the long arc that split the sky was still as gray as ever. Zhang Jiabao's clothes had dried, but Li Bangcang had no clothes, so he smeared a layer of mud shell on his body again, and picked up a piece of tender lotus on the waterhole to cover his crotch. Knowing that Zhang Jiabao had not even stepped into the Lotus Realm, Li Bangcang taught him to cultivate the truth from the beginning.

"Start with the basics. Like me, squat slowly with your feet shoulder-width apart and your five toes gripping the ground. Li Bangcang put on a posture of Zama step, and the lotus leaf floated up slightly, faintly revealing the big black bird, which looked quite funny.

"It's not hard. Zhang Jiabao couldn't help laughing, and made one like him, he had secretly watched Shangguan Naiya do it before.

"There are some essentials in this," Li Bangcang asked Zhang Jiabao to stand up and showed him the details of the movements, "with his feet slightly outward, slightly bent his knees." Then turn your toes forward and gradually squat deeper, squatting no more than your knees do. In this way, the muscles of the entire middle and lower disc can be mobilized. ”

Zhang Jiabao didn't expect that there were many exquisites in such simple movements, and only after Li Bangcang's repeated corrections did he make a qualified horse step, and his legs began to weaken after squatting for a long time.

"After squatting, move your feet to two to three feet apart, you don't have to take that big steps now. Li Bangcang walked around Zhang Jiabao and inspected his movements, "Chest up, don't arch your waist, fall down, don't put your hands on your knees, you are called a fork and stride." Stretch your arms flat forward with palms facing down. ”

"Okay, okay?" Zhang Jiabao felt that he was about to lose his bearing.

"Where is this? Adjust your breathing and calm your mind. The mind sinks to the soles of the feet, and imagines that there is a trace of acquired essence injected into the body in the gushing spring points on the soles of the feet. ”

"How do you feel now?"

"Sour ......"

"What else?"

"Tired ......"

"Don't you feel hot on the soles of your feet?"

"No ......" Zhang Jiabao can calm down according to what Li Bangcang said, the muscles of his two thin legs trembled, and he couldn't help but swing.

"Senior brother, I can't hold on!" Zhang Jiabao couldn't maintain his balance and fell backwards.

"How is this good, you have passed the best age for beginner cultivation, and the physique foundation is still so weak, how can you condense a high-grade essence foundation. Li Bangcang shook his head helplessly, "This Zama step is like this today, you have to remember the essentials of the movements, practice every day, and be able to maintain it for more than half an hour, you will be qualified." ”

The movements that are taught next are more difficult. After some stretching and warm-up, Li Bangcang let Zhang Jiabao stand on one leg, supported the ankle of the other leg with both hands, hugged it above his head, and straightened both legs into a line. This is the key action to concentrate the acquired essence in the body to the lower dantian.

In any case, Zhang Jiabao couldn't do it, and after some tossing, the hamstring seemed to be broken, and there was a tearing feeling at the root of the thigh.

"Take your time. Li Bangcang sighed. The physical plasticity of the junior disciple is no longer as good as when he was a child, and it is very difficult to develop at this time, even if the lotus of the essence base blooms in the future, the grade will not be high.

There are many basic movements in the Lotus Realm, and Li Bangcang taught seven more, with a set of techniques for breathing and breathing. Zhang Jiabao practiced every day under the strict supervision of his senior brother, and his body was devastated and he complained of misery.

After about half a month, Zhang Jiabao finally managed to grasp these actions. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will be adapted to get through it. In the first five days, my whole body was sore, numb, and painful, but in the end, I felt light. Recovery has also been significantly enhanced, and the practice time has changed from two hours a day to six hours.

"Don't slack off, follow this law, and practice every day. I'll teach you something else today. ”

"Cultivation is not separated from the eight realms, it has developed for thousands of years, and there is a common law. The main trunk is the same, but each has its own carving in the details. However, the world's sects have studied hundreds of ways, and each has its own expertise and unique learning, and it is not passed on. ”

"Among these vast and complex methods, the method of making seals by hand is an outstanding one. The hand is the epitome of the human body, and it is also the channel of communication power, which is formed according to the curved and straight, the amount formed by the overlap, and the potential according to the direction. The five-fingered hand is unique to the human race, which is one of the reasons why monsters are keen on the human form. ”

"The Dragon and Tiger Sect, where the master is located, is a Taoist lineage. The law of the town religion should be the nine-character mantra, which is: pro, soldier, fight, one, all, array, column, front, line. ”

"With the nine characters as the mantra and the mudra as the contract, you can reach the treasures of your own meridians, mobilize your spirit, and stimulate the great potential of the human body. Determined, fighting without cowardice, evil without invasion, cast iron body, invulnerable, fearless of fire and water, with divine power, opening mountains and moving peaks, as fast as thunder. ”

"Each time you make a seal, you will increase your power, but after that, your body will be empty, and the longer it will take to recover. If the nine seals can be produced together, there will be no such trouble. It's a pity that the senior brother's qi foundation is flawed, and the three treasures cannot all be made into nine grades, so they can only be cast to the eighth seal. ”

Therefore, the junior and younger disciples must understand a truth, there are all kinds of laws in the world, and all of them are based on the foundation of the realm of cultivation. The strong are always strong, the weak are even weaker, if there is no continuous self-breakthrough heart, every step will go to the extreme, and eventually become a foil for others. If the skill is poor, he will flatter or wagging his tail and beg for mercy. ”

Zhang Jiabao understood his brother's teachings. To Li Bangcang's relief, although he lost the opportunity in the realm of cultivation, he was quite talented in cultivation and very patient. There are thousands of mudras in the world, and the nine-character mantra is one of the top columns, and the Dharma seals are more complicated, requiring the dexterity of the fingers and the skill and reaction when making the seal. After hundreds of exercises, Zhang Jiabao was finally able to skillfully make the first seal take shape.

"Senior brother, the word 'Lin' has been completed, but I don't feel like my body has changed much?" Zhang Jiabao said. Days of practice had left his knuckles stiff and numb, and his wrist joints aching.

Li Bangcang glanced at it, "Now you have no Three Treasures, and the word 'Lin' has another meaning for you. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Escape. ”

Zhang Jiabao glanced at his senior brother.

"Don't worry, even if you practice the nine seals to perfection, you still have to cooperate with the mystic imagination of the divine mind on the meridians to exert your power. The human body has 12 pairs of meridians, with eight meridian meridians, 361 meridian acupoints, and 48 meridian acupoints. In the future, you have to learn to understand them, and understand where the meridians and acupuncture points correspond to each seal, so that you can cultivate these nine-character mantras. ”

"The path of cultivation is not so simple. Li Wancang smiled and patted Zhang Jiabao's shoulder.
