Chapter 3 Washing the marrow and building the foundation

The next day, Ye Xiu got up early in the morning.

The sky was foggy, drizzling, and heavy lead clouds, like a curtain, covered the world, and there was a dullness and coldness that did not see the light of day.

"Good weather, yin and no yang, it is a good time to practice the "Jizo Sutra". ”

"The True Sutra of the Earth" pays attention to refining the yin and evil qi, quenching the body and forging the bones, and washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow. What is the yin and evil qi is called the filthy and fierce qi by the Taoists, and the ominous and fierce qi is called by the Buddhists.

This kind of evil aura is most common in places where the dead gather, in short, like cemeteries, cemeteries, morgues, ancient battlefields and other places.

It stands to reason that the best place to practice the "Dizo True Sutra" is the ancient battlefield, where there are both the yin qi of the wandering soul and the evil qi of the soldiers. But unfortunately, this is an era of peace, and there is no so-called ancient battlefield at all.

Therefore, Ye Xiu could only settle for the next best thing and chose to cultivate in the cemetery.

Wonsan Cemetery in the northern suburbs of Luojing is one of the largest cemeteries in Luojing, and the place Ye Xiu chose is here.

One reason is that Wonsan Cemetery is not far from Luokyung University, only an hour's drive away, and the other reason is that Wonsan Cemetery faces north and faces the clouds, so the sunshine hours are relatively small, and the atmosphere should be relatively strong.

Out of the school gate, Ye Xiu took a car, and after a while, he arrived at Yuanshan Cemetery.

The cemetery has management personnel, but because the cemetery is different from other places, except for special festivals such as Qingming and Zhongyuan, few people stay and hang out here, so the management is relatively lax.

After Ye Xiu simply registered his name and ID number, he easily entered inside.

I don't know if it's really something or a mental effect, after entering the cemetery, looking at the tombstones and tombs looming in the mist, Ye Xiu suddenly felt that the air around him became cold, and his heart was a little hairy, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Whew, if you come, you will be safe! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it must be a psychological effect. ”

Ye Xiu strengthened his courage, chose a relatively secluded place, sat cross-legged, his mouth slightly open, his tongue against the roof of his mouth, his nose inhaled and exhaled, and cultivated according to the practice route of the "Dizang True Sutra".

According to the "Jizo Sutra", the first realm of martial arts practice is to build a foundation, that is, the so-called 100-day foundation building, laying the foundation for martial arts practice.

The foundation of building a foundation lies in the meditation, which Taoism calls "to emptiness and quietness", and Buddhism calls it "meditation and self-cultivation".

Because only when the mind is calm and settled, not scattered or chaotic, can the true qi be naturally born, give birth to the sense of qi, open the meridians, and fill the acupoints, which is called "qi storage and vein" in the world.

Generally speaking, it takes 100 days to "store qi and pass through the pulse", and after 100 days, the meridians are all clear, and the true qi is stored in the dantian, which can become the number of small Zhou Tian, and begin to wash the meridians and cut the marrow, temper the flesh, which is the next stage of building the foundation in 100 days.

Tempering the flesh from the outside to the inside, first from the muscles and bones of the skin, the skin membrane is tough, the flesh and blood are full of vitality, the muscles and bones are strong, and then in the five internal organs, with the true qi to wash the five internal organs, polish the internal organs, temper the physical body, when the liver contains vitality, the kidneys store essence, the lungs absorb clear qi, the heart sends the source of blood, the body is strong, and the circulation is small.

With them as the core, the five internal organs and six internal organs are harmonized, and according to the principles of nature, a realm is generated, and the small world in the body will begin to take shape.

At this stage, Taoism is generally referred to as the "unity of the five aggregates".

In a word, the foundation building realm can basically be divided into three stages: self-cultivation, qi accumulation, and the integration of the five aggregates.

With the passage of time, Ye Xiu's mind gradually calmed down, without the hustle and bustle of the outside world, without the impetuousness of Hongchen, and his mind was ethereal, as if a baby was in the mother's womb.

The Taoist "Huang Ting Jing" has a saying: The baby is in the mother's womb, the heart lives without moving, the spirit returns to the root and stops thinking, not worrying or fearing, not thinking about it, and sticking to it.

This is the foundation of martial arts, Taoism is the same, Buddhism is unable to meditate, and Confucianism is pure.

After settling down, Ye Xiu was full of words, turned into a toad into his abdomen, and the "Jizo True Sutra" ran according to the corresponding route by itself.

"Hoo ......"

Ye Xiu's mouth was half-opened, and he exhaled and inhaled, wisps of invisible breath followed his mouth and nose, entered the viscera dantian, and turned into a wisp of true qi.

One breath and one breath, the long nourishment of the holy womb, endless rebirth, all the cultivation is in one breath and one breath.

However, the wisp of true qi that was first formed was very unstable, gathering and dispersing from time to time, and there were signs of collapse.

Once this wisp of true qi collapsed, it meant that all his previous efforts had been in vain.

Ye Xiu knew in his heart that this was because he had not cultivated before, there were too many impurities in his body, and his mind was unstable, just like a bottle full of cracks and cracks, no matter how much water it contained, it would eventually leak.

According to the description of the "Jizo Sutra", it often takes several times to enter the self-cultivation before the first wisp of true qi can be naturally generated, which needs to be gradual and impatient.

However, this is nothing for Ye Xiu, who has a cheat like the group leader, and took out the bottle of Yuehua Taiyin liquid that he exchanged yesterday from his arms, and poured it into his mouth.

The liquid melts in the mouth, enters the stomach in the lower throat, and then flows to the limbs and hundreds of bones with the stomach as the center.

"Hmph...... It's so hot!"

At first, it was cool and cool, Ye Xiu felt quite comfortable, but gradually, the blood in his body was tumbling and boiling, half of it was scorching and unbearable, half of it was cold and biting, and under the intertwining and collision of heat and cold, an unspeakable pain, pain, and soreness swept through his body.

"Damn, it's so uncomfortable. Ye Xiu cursed, understanding that this was the result of the confrontation between the medicinal power of Yuehua Taiyin Liquid and the True Qi of the Seven Absolute Palms.

"No, you can't be distracted, you have to hurry up and cultivate. ”

The confrontation and collision of the two forces is the moment when the medicinal power is maximized, and it is naturally the best time to cultivate.

Forcibly stabilizing his mind, Ye Xiu ran the "Jizo True Sutra", and with the ingestion of wisps of yin and evil energy, the pain in his body was immediately reduced a lot, and there was a slight sense of comfort.

Tasting the sweetness, Ye Xiu gradually immersed himself in it and couldn't extricate himself.

"True qi is reborn, condensed but not dispersed, it's done!"

I don't know how long it took, the cold and scorching heat in his body dissipated at the same time, and in Ye Xiu's dantian, a wisp of qi was finally born, like a swimming fish, swimming endlessly in his dantian.

"Buzz ......"

The moment the qi sense was born, the gloomy aura that permeated the entire Yuanshan Cemetery seemed to be attracted by something, and it swarmed and converged on the sky above Ye Xiu's head, forming a huge gloomy cloud.

The gloomy clouds gathered, and a cold, evil, and murderous aura spread, and a layer of frost crystals gradually formed on the ground, grass and trees, and tombstones.

Fortunately, it was a rainy day, with dense clouds and drizzle, and there were few people in the cemetery, so that it would not be discovered by others and cause unnecessary trouble.

"It's so cold, what's going on?"

Ye Xiu also found out about the situation above his head and was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, he saw the gloomy clouds above his head, roaring down towards him.

"It's over, it's going to die, it's going to die!"

Ye Xiu was startled, he could clearly feel the chill and ferocity contained in the gloomy clouds in the air, these gloomy clouds were enough to freeze him to death at once.

"But, I don't want to die yet!

Ye Xiu's legs seemed to be filled with lead, unable to move, and he could only hope for the mysterious group leader.

“……”

"I didn't respond, is it the wrong way to open it?" Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said in a pious tone: "Brother Qun, Lord, Lord, can you squeak?"

"Squeak......

In Ye Xiu's mind, the group leader "squeaked".

“……”

"Brother Qun!" Ye Xiu hurriedly said, "Is there any way?"

"Squeak......" The group leader "squeaked".

"Squeak your uncle!" Ye Xiu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but scold.

In the end, he could only watch the gloomy clouds in the sky annihilate him.

After a while, the gloomy clouds dissipated, revealing Ye Xiu with his eyes closed and a loveless face.

"Hey, I'm ...... I'm not dead!"

After a long time, Ye Xiu opened one eye and cautiously peeked at the surrounding environment, for fear that when he opened his eyes, he would find that this was a ghost gate underworld, or that there were two black and white impermanence standing in front of him.

Thankfully, it's not!

I touched my whole body up and down, and found that there was no lack of arms or legs, and there was nothing uncomfortable, but the true qi in the dantian was condensed a lot.

It's just that he didn't notice that there was a black lotus mark that disappeared from the center of his eyebrows.

"Haha, it's a blessing in disguise!" Ye Xiu shouted excitedly.

"Huhu...... What a smell, it stinks!"

Suddenly, Ye Xiu smelled a strange smell, and the smell was unpleasant.

Ye Xiu looked down and saw that his arms were covered with a thick layer of dirt at some point, and his whole body was also sticky, and it was obvious that the stench was emanating from him.

"This is supposed to be an impurity that was expelled from my body. ”

Ye Xiu said in his heart, he settled on self-cultivation, transformed into true qi, and then used true qi to gradually wash the meridians and cut the marrow, strengthen the body and bones, but because of the Yuehua Taiyin liquid, he completed this step in advance.

"Vomit...... I can't stand it anymore, I have to go back and take a shower!"

Ye Xiu just grinned, ready to smirk, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a foul smell entered his nose, making him can't help but retch.

The smell is so bad.

"Squeak......

Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang in his head.

Ye Xiu paused, as if he remembered something, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Qun, are you still there?" ”

The group leader didn't appreciate it: "The deity remembers that someone was scolding me just now?"

I didn't expect you to be such an arrogant group leader, Ye Xiu complained, shook his head and denied: "Is there one? Brother Qun, you must be hallucinating!"

Group Leader: "In view of the insult of the deity, the deity is very angry, and the real-life area mission is hereby released, and the player is asked to complete it within an hour." ”

"Humph......"
