Chapter 2: Building a Successful Foundation

The so-called foundation building is nothing more than polishing and refining the body to lay the foundation for the subsequent practice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is actually very simple, the body is compared to the earth, then the meridians can be regarded as rivers, as for the flow of the body, it is naturally qi.

In fact, building a foundation is a process of straightening out the river, and now the popular foundation building in Taoism is nothing more than meditation, meditation and calmness, feeling the existence of the "river" in the body, and then swallowing and absorbing qi, and gathering in the river with vitality, and after the river is connected, the so-called Zhou Tian is formed in the body.

After Zhou Tian is opened, the entrance is opened, and the human body runs together with the opportunity of heaven and earth, so that the yin energy in the meridians can be turned into yang energy.

As for the length of time to build the foundation, it depends on the amount of vitality. Some people sing songs night and night, naturally they will not have enough essence and blood vitality, the quality of the qi is miserable, and there are very few vitality that can be used to open up the meridians, and it is naturally difficult to build a foundation.

This is also the reason why Taoism pays attention to pure heart and few desires, and even some Taoist schools in order to inherit the sake of deliberately select some Taoist children from an early age, so that he can lose his fertility, and then be able to concentrate on learning all kinds of Taoist learning, in order to teach future generations, keep the incense continuous.

Such a true disciple, since he was a child, he has been assisted in polishing his body with medicinal materials and the like, consolidating his foundation and cultivating his yuan, and his own vitality is sufficient, coupled with the careful teaching of the elders, the speed of foundation building is naturally much faster than that of ordinary people, and even the difficulty is reduced a lot.

Ordinary people can't even calm their minds, let alone concentrate on the meridians in their bodies, especially those who don't believe in the existence of meridians, and it is even more impossible to feel the existence of meridians when they meditate. The location of the meridians cannot be found, so it is naturally impossible to open the meridians with one breath.

Now the process of building the foundation is basically to exhale the vitality, and use the opportunity to swallow and pour the liquid to send the qi to the dantian. It's like a little rain in the sky, taking the opportunity to gather the rain into a stream, and then using the stream to dredge the river, the difficulty can be imagined, so you need to persistently induce the vitality of the meridians. This is the saying that the foundation is built in 100 days.

If a person's own essence is insufficient, the first thing to do is not to open up the meridians, but to warm and nourish himself, plug and repair the leakage. It is a land full of big pits, and if it rains a little in the sky, it will not fall into the river, but will first converge into this big pit.

It takes too long to get through the meridians bit by bit, and the 100 days in the 100-day foundation building are not just an adjective, but also a measure word. The whole process requires meditation and contemplation, which few people can do in the modern era when there are too many external material temptations.

For ordinary people, the pure state of mind required by this method of foundation building is a difficult problem, but when it comes to Founder, it is not too difficult. After all, he has practiced with Lu Zu for a hundred years in his dream, and this pure state of mind still exists.

However, Founder was not prepared to choose this method of foundation building. Because he has a hundred years of cultivation experience, in fact, he is just an ordinary person, and if he wants to build a foundation by breathing, even if he maintains a pure state of mind twenty-four hours a day, he may not be able to build a foundation in 100 days.

After all, there are so many places to plug and repair leaks.

Therefore, Fang Zheng decided to choose another way of cultivation, that is, standing on the pile. In Lu Zu's lineage, there are 36 types of pile method, and different postures can stimulate the qi and blood of different parts of the body, and assist in opening up the meridians.

Just like the vast earth of the body, a lot of groundwater gushes out, and this groundwater will pour into the river of meridians to open up the meridians.

Don't underestimate these 36 pile methods, no matter which genre they put in, they are all secrets. If you are not a true disciple, if you want to get a glimpse of the mystery, it is basically not very possible.

Even if you get these thirty-six aliens by chance, if there is no master to tell you, outsiders will not be able to know how lucky this situation is. If you force yourself to practice, you can only say, you can only be happy.

Whether it is sitting quietly or standing on a pile, it is not very convenient in the city, especially if you do it for a long time, you may be regarded as mentally ill. In addition, the air in the downtown area is mixed, and the breath may not be pure, maybe it is not the gas that is breathed, but the haze.

If it was Fang Zheng before, he would not have the courage to come to the deep mountains and old forests alone to build a foundation, and he would not have the ability. But with Lu Zu's inheritance, it is different, for Lu Dongbin, this world is a great way to go.

It took two days for Founder to rush to the periphery of the Qinling Mountains, get off the car on the side of the road, take the map, and walk deep into the mountains along the legendary route of the traveler.

After smoothly entering the mountainous area, Founder no longer referred to the route proposed by the travelers, but found a road that no one had explored by himself, and went around into the deep mountains.

It was estimated that he had deviated from the traveler's route for almost twenty kilometers before Fang Zheng stopped, and the adventure route taken by the travelers was usually rarely visited, let alone twenty kilometers deeper.

These 20 kilometers are not as simple as 20 kilometers in a straight line on the plains, and you have to walk at least 100 miles to go down the mountains and mountains.

The reason why Fang Zheng stopped, in addition to the reason that it was far enough away, was that there was a small cave on the hill in front of him, which just provided shelter from the wind and rain.

After all, in the mountains and forests, although Fang Zheng has experience, he is still a mortal, and now he is far from the point of cultivation, and he still has to be careful in the mountains and forests.

At least before the foundation is built, Founder still has to be a low-key person; After the foundation is built, it can be regarded as barely having the power to protect itself.

It took most of the day to clean up the cave, then put the pots and pans he bought inside, and then went to the bottom of the mountain to set up a few traps for catching animals.

The years in the mountains are long, except for a few hours a day to eat and sleep, Founder did not waste a little time, except for meditation and breathing, it is the luck of standing on the pile.

Among them, Fang Zheng didn't have to worry about going too far, Lu Zu's cultivation experience had already been passed on to him, and this kind of thing was a matter of course for him.

……

"Hoo ......"

Fang Zheng exhaled a long breath, feeling the heat surging everywhere in his body, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"Thirty-five days is not a short time, not too long, and finally the foundation has become a ......" Fang Zheng lay on the ground, and relaxed a little.

In these thirty-five days, Fang Zheng was like a tight bowstring, although Lu Zu's cultivation experience and cultivation feelings were passed on to Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng's body was finally different from Lu Zu's body. Although the general process of cultivation is similar, the feeling of qi flowing in the bloodline is still different, which is probably the so-called difference in qualifications.

Once the foundation is built, the purpose of Founder's trip will be completed.

Foundation building is the first step in cultivation, and it is the body's vitality that runs through the meridians in the body during the foundation building period. And once the foundation is built, the vitality in the body is inexhaustible, and the cycle repeats. After the foundation is built, the human body runs together with the opportunity of heaven and earth, and at this moment it can absorb the qi of heaven and earth into the body, and there is not only its own vitality in the meridians, but also the vitality of heaven and earth.

The vitality of the human body comes from the internal organs and the five grains and poultry meat externally; The vitality of heaven and earth is the ubiquitous energy between heaven and earth, but some places have sufficient vitality, some places are scarce, some places are pure, and some places are mixed.

And the place where the vitality is very abundant and pure is the so-called cave heaven blessed land in ancient times, which is generally in the famous mountains and rivers. After all, the breath of the world is mixed, and the vitality is not as pure as the famous mountains and rivers.

When the foundation is built, only one's own vitality circulates within the meridians, and qi is simply vitality; If you build a successful foundation, you will be able to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth in your body, and the nature of the vitality in your body will change, which is called true qi, and this process is the practice of qi.

The foundation building period and the qi training period are the first two stages of cultivation, but they are not the same. The quality of True Qi during the Qi training period is much higher than that of Yuan Qi, so there will be some functions that Yuan Qi does not have, such as drawing talismans and writing spells.

Therefore, building a foundation for mortals, and only after practicing qi can it be called cultivation.

Fang Zheng's whole person was lying on the ground in big characters, and in the night after this breakthrough, he felt the continuous influx of heaven and earth vitality into his body, while widening the meridians and refining the body, while assimilating the vitality in the body, and then undergoing a qualitative change, wandering in the meridians like silk.

There is a feeling of true qi running in Lu Zu's inheritance, especially at that time, Fang Zheng's whole person was similar to possessing Lu Zu, and the feeling was more real.

But after all, it was Lu Zu's body, and it was still different from Fang Zheng's own feelings, how could there be the feeling of fullness that the true qi was swimming in the meridians now.

The next morning, Fang Zheng stood outside the cave and coherently beat the 36 styles of building the foundation twice, which is not only the action of building the foundation, but also a set of boxing techniques in a coherent way.

After punching, Fang Zheng put all his things into his backpack, and then went down the mountain, first took a shower in the mountain stream below, and then washed his clothes.

After staying in the cave for more than 30 days, Fang Zheng's whole body had an indescribable strange smell, if he was practicing in the mountains, Fang Zheng could still pinch his nose and endure it; But if you go out of the mountain now, it's not too suitable to be so sloppy.

After changing into a set of clean clothes, Fang Zheng broke another branch, hung his clothes on the branch, and carried the branch out of the mountain.

The approximate route out, Fang Zheng still remembers.

Unlike a month ago, when it took almost two days to get into the mountains, it took only half a day for Fangzheng to walk out of this mountain forest.

Fang Zheng is no longer a rookie who did not build a foundation more than a month ago, he is now a qi practitioner who is new to qi training, even in the mountains and forests, he is still walking like flying, and his speed can catch up with long-distance runners.

This is still the result of Founder's deliberate convergence.

Sure enough, once he cultivated the Tao, he was no longer a mortal body! Feeling the abundant strength in his body, Fang Zheng did not feel tired at all, on the contrary, he stood on the side of the road energetically, waiting for a passing vehicle to take him for a ride.
