Chapter 36: Building the Foundation in 100 Days
Lin Yuanchenmeng turned around, only to see a black figure sitting on a high mountain rock ten meters away from the cliff, and she was illuminated by a flashlight, which was the old fortune teller outside the Zixiao Palace.
Lin Yuanchen raised his hand and touched his forehead, and then touched his chest, as if he was shocked: "Dao Chief, when did you come?" β
"I've been meditating here all night."
"The Taoist saw me coming, why didn't he call me when he saw me?" Lin Yuanchen took a few steps forward and sat down on a smooth rock that was a few points lower than the old path meditation place.
"Isn't it right to call you now?" Lao Dao flicked his two big sleeves, cleared his throat and said, "Didn't you and your friends camp on the other side of the cliff?" Why did you come here so early? β
"Dao Chief, you really know everything. I came here in the middle of the night when I came out to the bathroom and got lost. Didn't bother you from practicing, did you? β
"It's okay, you're just in time!" Lao Dao pointed to the stone face of the mountain where Lin Yuanchen was sitting, "Come, go up to the stone and meditate like me." β
Lin Yuanchen jumped on the mountain stone lightly and meditated down like an old man.
"Well, it looks good. Now, get rid of distracting thoughts and meditate for twenty minutes. The eyes do not see, the ears do not hear, the mouth is speechless, and the heart does not move. β
Lin Yuanchen muttered in his heart: "This long god is mysterious, and if you want me to meditate here, it must be that the cultivation is too boring?" β
"Huh? Didn't I speak, speechless, and my heart moved? β
"Got it, Chief." Lin Yuanchen closed his eyes and meditated, at first, there was no unusual feeling, but slowly, he felt a few wisps of cool water-like breath flowing down from the back of his head, and gradually condensed into a stream in his throat.
"Swallow the breath down, and when you exhale, you will swallow it up with your neck." The old way is on the side, and the time is right.
Lin Yuanchen raised his jaw, exhaled slowly, and drank this cool breath.
"Pull the breath in your belly to the middle palace." Lao Dao said and pointed out an acupuncture point on Lin Yuanchen's stomach.
Lin Yuanchen was silent according to what he said, and he pulled his breath to that acupuncture point in one go.
"Do this eight more times, meditating until the breath in the back of your head appears."
Lin Yuanchen continued to meditate again in this way until the traction was successful for a total of nine times. At the end of the ninth time, the breath in a certain acupuncture point on the chest rotated, and as soon as it rushed out, this big acupoint had been opened. At this time, the eastern sky was already covered with the whiteness of dawn. Far away in the mountains, the sound of a rooster crowing could be heard in the dim distance.
"Yes, girl, you have good bones."
Lin Yuanchen opened his eyes: "Dao Chief, this sitting exercise is so wonderful, what kind of exercise is it?" β
"Girl, have you ever heard of the Hundred Days Foundation?" The glimmer of dawn shone on the face of the old man beside the cliff, and his eyes reflected a faint glow.
"100 days to build a foundation? Haven't you heard of it, is it Xiudan? β
"Building a foundation is the foundation of cultivation, girl, you have already condensed your qi and can cultivate this foundation building skill. Just like just now, one breath of true qi is one sitting, and nine sits to open up one big acupoint, and a total of three hundred and sixty-five big acupoints must be opened, and the foundation building is completed. β
"Three hundred and sixty-five big holes? How long does that take to sit? β
"One sat for about twenty minutes. Girl, from today onwards, you can sit nine times a day, that is, for three hours, and you can build a foundation in a year! β
"Dao Chief, why are you teaching me this foundation-building skill?"
"I saw that you were in Zixiao Palace, and I respected the ancestor a lot, I thought you must have come for the ancestor, and I saw that you were a great person in your body, and you were also a person in my Dao.
"Condensation? The man of the way? Lin Yuanchen remembered the nine-turn condensing gas condensing furnace heart recipe taught by Xu Kaijie, "So what kind of nine-turn condensing gas condensing furnace heart trick I practiced, is it the Taoist method?" β
"This condensation practice is similar to any family, but the qi on the girl's body is a little strange, fortunately, girl, you have excellent bones, you can sit down, and it doesn't take time to cultivate. Don't waste your time. β
"Dao Chief, then your cultivation must be very high? What's after the foundation is built? β
"After building the foundation, it depends on your circumstances, my cultivation is not much different from your friend."
"My friend? Are you talking about Xu Kaijie? Ha ha! Hahahaha! He's also a Taoist cultivator? I don't think so, Dao Chief, you didn't lie to me? Lin Yuanchen couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the abrupt contrast between Xu Kaijie and the Taoist in front of him.
"Hehe, he didn't lie to you, or he had the intention to hide it from you."
"Hide from me?" Lin Yuanchen had several thoughts in his heart, but when he shook his head, these thoughts were annihilated, "Dao Chief, he won't be a Taoist cultivator, look at him like that, haha." β
"You sit here a few more times today, it's dawn, and I'm going back to the Taoist temple." Lao Dao got up and jumped down from the rock, and walked all the way into the distance.
"Wait, Chief, don't you tell me which way I should go back, Chiefβ"
Lao Dao didn't answer her, and walked away all the way.
A round of red sun came out of the mountain in the east, Lin Yuanchen did not continue to practice the skill of building the foundation, but walked around to see which way to go back, but no matter where she went, everything looked the same to her, she didn't even know whether it was from the east or from the west, walking and walking, even the cliff couldn't turn back.
She found an open spot with a few rocks high and sat down on it.
"I don't know if Xu Kaijie got up, did he find that I was missing, will he come out to look for me, eh! I'm so hungry...... Why don't you go to the scenic spot, find the Taoist chief and ask for fasting food. The scenic spot is in the sun of the mountain, just go south. Thinking so, she got up and went to the scenic spot.
Who knew that at the moment when he stood up with his legs hard, the rocks under him made a crackling sound of breaking, and they all fell to the ground, and Lin Yuanchen was unstable on his feet, and he also fell into it together. A crack appeared on the ground, and when I looked down, there was no bottom of the black hole.
More than ten meters below the entrance of the cave, Lin Yuanchen lay among a rotting dead leaf, motionless and unconscious.
In the tent, Xu Kaijie opened his sleeping eyes: "Lin Yuanchen, it's dawn, get up quickly!" Hearing no answer, he sat up and looked into the tent, but there was no one. He walked out of the tent and walked around the neighborhood again, but still didn't find Lin Yuanchen.
In desperation, he scattered his divine consciousness and searched in the mountains, but still found nothing, and at the moment when he dispersed his divine consciousness, he felt four or five divine consciousnesses touching: "What person?" β
He immediately put away his divine sense: "There are indeed people with Yuan Ying in Wudang Mountain!" β
