Chapter 21: The Beginning of the Foundation
When he taught me, he was in the courtyard, directly orally, God knows how many kinds of talismans, how many kinds of formulas, how many kinds of steps?
"You have to recite a different mantra for each type of talisman! Pronunciation: Pay attention to the pronunciation! When you recite a mantra and what steps you should take, it's all different. And after walking Bugang, how do you use your hands to lure ghosts and gods into the talisman, and the seals are all different, can't you remember a few basics? "That's how Master responds to my complaints, and usually the end result is that I am being trained.
In fact, I really wanted to try to draw talismans myself, instead of talking on this paper, when I told the master that I fantasized about being able to draw a few talismans to attract the heavenly thunder, my master did not hesitate to pour cold water on me: "You have a background, but you have not transformed into karma, karma, mindfulness, and skill, and you are also a piece of waste paper when you draw it, and you can return the heavenly thunder, why don't you chop you to death stupid child?" ”
Karma, mindfulness, power! Ay! Practice!
From this day on, I finally stopped being the health of the Eight Duan Jin and the Sixteen Golden Tips. It's time to start building the groundwork! Of course, this is not the cultivation of immortals that everyone thinks, perhaps, it is just the beginning of cultivating immortals, and immortals are out of reach for me!
I also have an extra playmate, who often accompanies me, and it is a ring ruler that gives me a head from time to time. Every time, I looked at Master angrily with my head in my hands, and at this time I often said, "I'm sorry, Xiaokang, I just made a mistake, I made a mistake!" ”
However, when it came time for me to actually practice, my master was more nervous than anyone else, and although he had completely taught the cultivation mantras of our branch of the mountain range, as well as various details and even his own experience, and repeated them many times, he was still more nervous than myself.
This foundation building is not about playing, just starting to build the foundation, are starting from the dantian, slowly feel, you will feel a breath of qi, this is the qi, and then it is the line of qi, with the accumulation of energy in the adduction of foreign qi in my practice, the lower abdomen fever is accompanied by a sense of fullness, this is the manifestation of the gradual accumulation of true qi in the body, and then the true qi will run in the body according to its own laws, and the body will have some reactions, if you are not careful, you will practice, and even go crazy, my master is excusable for being nervous, so the Taoist inheritance is very important, Without the guidance of the Master, unless the talented and powerful, ordinary people must not try it easily.
Then, in the future, with the increase of energy caused by practice, the intensity of operation will also increase, and the consciousness of the body during the practice is far more sensitive than usual, and the qi machine will produce heat, swelling, numbness, pain, itching, cold, heavy pressure, ant walking and other eight touch phenomena when dredging these small qi stagnation points, commonly known as "qi sense".
Finally, it is the only way to use the true qi obtained by oneself to impact the acupuncture points on the body and repair the "leaky body", which is an inseparable part of the foundation building stage. As long as it takes time, the foundation can be completed, and Master also told me that as for the 100-day foundation building that has been circulated, it is just a myth, and it is impossible for people to complete it now, so let me not be in a hurry, and start with the beginning in a down-to-earth manner.
It's just the foundation of the entry, it's already very difficult, my daily time, basically spent on this, but the entry is unusually slow, the first level to pass is to get qi, qi is a very erratic thing, in the dantian, before feeling the qi, you can only rely on the mind to do the qi, this is simple to say, but you must concentrate, otherwise you can't settle at all, let alone keep thinking, I insist on entering the set for no more than half an hour every time, I feel a headache, I can only rest.
I was often depressed in the face of such a situation, but my master always encouraged me. "It's worthy of being an emperor star, with extraordinary talent, I think you and I were the master back then, and your master also praised me for being extremely talented, but I just started thinking for less than 5 minutes, and I will wander, take my time, I'm already very proud, come and take a break, forcibly hurt my spirit."
In fact, I can feel more and more that he is absolutely like a son, that kind of protection and care, I can feel it, of course, it would be better if he could keep the ring ruler at my distance!
"Drink this!" I couldn't hold on to my thoughts once, and when I opened my eyes, Master brought out a bowl.
"Master, what's this?"
"Well-off, cultivators pay more attention to the way of health preservation, just practice does not make up, and the body does not absorb nutrients, so how do you build a foundation and just rely on meditation?" My master spoke very seriously, and then handed me the soup in a serious manner. I took the bowl, and there was an uplifting aroma wafting through the air, it was a strong smell of meat, but there was a faint aroma of herbs, and I couldn't help but swallow.
"Look at you like that." He touched my head: "Hurry up and drink!" ”
He rarely leaks a loving smile and most of the time it's lewd, so I especially enjoyed the moment.
"Really, you kid, if you weren't Lao Tzu's apprentice, I wouldn't be willing to give you this thing! This thing, but if you drink a little less, you can't find it! But I don't know how long it will last you. Master suddenly looked at the bowl in my hand and sighed!
I couldn't get hungry for a long time, so after taking a sip, I looked up and asked Master, "Master, why don't you drink it?" "In my impression, Master is very greedy! Grab everything from me, I have to buy half of my sugar gourd. Didn't drink it this time?
"It's destined in the dark, it's useless for me to drink it, so I won't waste your chance......" Master said and suddenly raised his head, as if he was recalling something, I can't tell why, but he was like this, I felt very uncomfortable, looking at this bowl of soup, I felt as if it was a thousand gold.
But immediately he yelled at me, "It's cold if you don't drink it, do you want to be beaten again?" ”
I didn't care if he was sad or not, I took a sip of soup, I felt very warm and comfortable, and slowly felt that the world was very clear, and my spirit came up.
"Give me all the soup in this bowl, and eat the meat! Then wash the dishes and brush the pots and go! "Master touched my head and hand, and suddenly gave me a brain meltdown and went into the house.
The days passed under such diligent study and hard practice, day after day, boring and fulfilling, in just two months, I did not metamorphose a little, the only thing that remained unchanged was that I was still very thin, no matter how I made up for it, Master said that it was a problem that fell from the illness when I was a child.
"Learn Mandarin from me these days, I asked someone to find you a school, I don't care about elementary school, you have to study hard from junior high school! Xiaokang, you remember, Taoist priests must learn science well! If you don't do well in the exam, be careful if I beat you up, and your mother won't know you when you go home! "Just after drinking the medicine that day, Master suddenly said to me,
When I heard it, I shouted, "Ah, learn Mandarin again!" "I'm still a broken Mandarin mixed with dialects! Then I suddenly reacted to something: "I'm grass, old man!" It's time to go to school again! ”
