Chapter Seventy-Four: Building the Foundation in 100 Days

A breeze blew, and the jade bamboo forest began to sway.

Bamboo leaves flutter on the quiet path, bamboo buildings and stone steps, only bypassing the master and apprentice.

Xu Yuemei said unhurriedly, Ming Chen listened carefully, and asked questions from time to time.

"100 days to build a foundation, not a fixed 100 days, it is a virtual finger, some people have not succeeded in more than 100 days, some people have succeeded in advance, but fast and slow does not mean strength or weakness."

"As a teacher, I also know that you will definitely be able to complete the foundation building in 100 days; But I hope you don't rush for quick success, every step is implemented, and you go to the extreme; In order to go down, and to go further in the future. ”

"Understood!" Ming Chen nodded heavily.

Originally, he didn't plan to win quickly, and sustained power was king.

Moreover, after that day's dialogue, he also deeply realized the importance of the foundation, and it was even more impossible to rush for quick success.

"The direction of cultivation is different, and the foundation building is also different, except for the assistance of external objects, the main thing is to rely on oneself; Therefore, you don't know how far you can go. ”

"The 100-day foundation building of the Blue Emperor City pays attention to four words!"

"Quiet, open, empty, full."

Ming Chen listened very carefully and didn't interrupt rashly, and if he had doubts, he would mention it later.

"These four words are the four stages of the entire 100-day foundation building."

"The quiet, the bolted ape, the locked horse, the distracting thoughts are not born, and the spirit is pure."

"Use the Pure Heart Pill and the Concentration Bead to calm your mind and throw away cluttered thoughts; To achieve a single spirit is pure, and the six dusts are not clean, which is complete. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yuemei stopped for the time being, waiting for Ming Chen to understand and continue without doubt.

However, Ming Chen was a little surprised, it turned out that the saying that the six dusts were spotless also existed here.

However, after thinking about it, my heart cleared.

Yao remembers that after the warrior built the foundation, his six senses have been completed, and the six senses are the judgment and memory generated by the six roots of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind when they come into contact with the six dusts.

Now, in order to achieve the purity of one spirit and the six dusts, it is necessary to perfectly control one's consciousness and god.

Because the knowledge of God is in charge of the six senses, it is the key to the formation of the knowledge of God, that is, the purity of one spirit.

This is equivalent to having this foundation on your own, and it should not be difficult.

"Master, will the use of foreign objects such as the Pure Heart Pill and the Centering Bead have an impact on the results of your foundation building?"

In this regard, Xu Yuemei explained blandly: "Without external objects, it is difficult for ordinary people to tie up the heart ape and lock the horse, so how can we abandon the distractions?" ”

Ming Chen changed his words: "If I lock my heart and abandon distracting thoughts by myself, will I be stronger than others?" ”

After a while, Xu Yuemei spit out a word.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Ming Chen put the Qingxin Pill and the Centering Bead in his hand back into the master's hand.

"It's going to be hard." Xu Yuemei patiently reminded.

"Hmm!" Ming Chen nodded solemnly, and then said, "Maybe my foundation is more than 100 days, but I am willing to exchange 100 days for 100 years." ”

Not in a hurry, Xu Yuemei nodded secretly, very satisfied with this reassuring disciple, put away the foreign objects, and said: "You have this ambition, you are very comforted by the teacher, and the teacher will do his best to help you." ”

"Thank you, Master." Ming Chen saluted respectfully.

Nodding, seeing that he didn't have anything to ask, Xu Yuemei continued: "The second step is 'Tong', the one who is connected, the intention is to guard the entrance, the qi is unblocked, and the hundred ways are unimpeded. ”

"The aura passes through the entrance, leads to heaven and earth, crosses a hundred veins, only needs a hundred drops of spiritual liquid to run a hundred veins and a hundred orifices, then there is no obstruction."

He naturally knew that between the two eyebrows, it was also called the Lingtai.

The qi veins are unimpeded, and there are no obstacles.

His own internal force is self-generated, turned into true qi, and the qi veins have been opened; As for the unimpeded paths, it means that the veins are unimpeded, and this is the direction of their efforts.

Ming Chen nodded again in understanding.

There are no shortcuts, and there are no external objects to help, so you can only rely on yourself.

"The third is 'emptiness', the emptiness, the ten thousand thoughts are extinguished, the emptiness is empty, and the body is purified by the turbid qi, and the body is like an empty valley."

"When the heart is empty, the body is empty, and the air is empty, only when the whole person is empty, can it be filled."

"This step must be washed with spiritual spring water, and the spiritual spring essence is purified, so that it reaches the point of humility, and it can be considered complete."

When he was done, he added: "Only this foreign object can achieve the effect, otherwise it will not be able to be empty." ”

Of course, Ming Chen knew that this was telling him that he couldn't rely on himself in this step, and he had to have external objects to achieve better results.

The first half of the sentence is very simple, if he can do it on his own in the first step, it will not be difficult for this ten thousand thoughts to be extinguished, but the emptiness and emptiness may be a little difficult.

It is even simpler to expel turbidity qi and purify the body, but he has completed the transformation of the nine transformations a few days ago, and he is still the spirit bone of the Yuan Fetus, as long as he achieves the last step of the body, it is enough.

But he still had some questions: "Isn't the Ten Thousand Thoughts Extinguished overlapping with the previous Jing?" And the feeling of 'emptiness' and 'communication' is similar. ”

Xu Yuemei smiled slightly, "The previous 'quiet' is to forget the distracting thoughts and disturbances, while the 'emptiness' is to eliminate the distracting thoughts and restless minds, which can essentially be regarded as a further step of 'quiet'. ”

"The difference between 'pass' and 'emptiness' is the same, they are progressive."

"Master, will it affect your feelings if you get rid of distracting thoughts?" Ming Chen was a little worried about this.

"No, it will only make you enter a state of emptiness and emptiness when you practice, and when your mind returns and you perceive reality, you are still you." Xu Yuemei is completely responsive to questions, and she is also very serious about his questions, without the slightest perfunctory.

"The core of it is to fall into limbs, degenerate intelligence, detach from form to know, be the same as Datong, sit quietly and forget oneself."

"Understood." Ming Chen suddenly realized.

To put it simply, it is to sit quietly and forget about one's body, and this state is not to think too much, and it is not good for the mind to be too flexible, because there are too many thoughts and it is difficult to sweep away.

So there is a thousand thoughts and a thousand threads.

"The last step is 'full'! Build a solid spirit plant, the yuan is full of three treasures, the qi is full of energy, the vitality is vigorous, and the vitality is endless. ”

"At this point, the purpose is to fill in the empty space of the previous step, and the more empty the previous step, the fuller this step is, and the more perfect the foundation will be."

"Basically, it is enough to reach full qi, and the spirit is complete and sufficient; The essence is like a full water tank, the air is like a full belly, and the spirit is like a drunken fluttering. ”

"At this point, the 100-day foundation building is considered to be the end."

Hearing this, Ming Chen also understood, the four steps, complement each other, and finally build the foundation, which can be regarded as opening the door to the Qi Refiner.

The more perfect the foundation, the stronger the strength.

Xu Yuemei slowly spoke: "Building a solid spirit plant is the end of the fourth step, the three treasures of the Yuan Man, and the Qi are all for the purpose of building the spirit plant, and it is the seed of the condensation of the Yuan Jing, the Yuan Qi, and the Yuan Shen, and the process of 'Man' is cultivating the soil, and finally planting the seeds in the fertile soil." ”

"These spirit fruits are the key to making the soil fertile, and the last spirit spring chalcedony is to water the seed of the spirit plant."

"This seed determines the follow-up collection and knotting, which is very crucial."

After thinking about it, she decided to say more, "Regarding the three realms of nourishing the spirit, nourishing qi, and nourishing the furnace after the foundation is built, let's talk about it briefly, so that you have a concept." ”

"The main purpose of building a foundation is to lay the foundation for these three realms, to nourish the spirit in tranquility, to nourish the qi in the passage, and to nourish the furnace in the emptiness and fullness."

"One spirit is pure, and the six dusts are not clean, which is to raise the gods, and to raise the gods is not the original gods, the knowledge of the gods is in the heart, the yin gods are out of the body, and the gods are cultivated."

"Qi cultivation is much simpler, the hundred veins are unblocked, and the smoother it is, the faster and more the aura gathers."

"As for the final furnace, in fact, you can completely raise the furnace with your body, after all, you have completed the nine transformations, but you still come step by step, the furnace here is not only the alchemy treasure furnace, but also the treasure furnace of the body."

"With your physical condition, you will soon be able to complete the furnace, so you must abide by your heart and not seek speed."

"Remember the teachings of the Master." Ming Chen's eyes revealed indescribable firmness, as if no one could shake his will.

In this regard, Xu Yuemei was happy in her heart, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "Go ahead, step on the hundred-step stone steps, when you walk to the Moon Palace by yourself, it will be the day of success, and you can call me at any time if you encounter any problems." ”

Ming Chen hesitated, turned around, and took out a bamboo slip, "Although the master didn't ask, the disciple didn't want to hide something. ”

"This is the disciple's seizure of an evil cultivator in Weiguo, Yuehua and Starlight, there should be similarities, when the disciple comes out, I will tell you what I saw and heard in Weiguo."

The bamboo slip "Seven Stars Qi Induction Chapter" copied by himself was stuffed into the master's hand, and he stepped into the formation of a hundred stone steps without looking back.

Xu Yuemei was left alone looking at the bamboo slips in a daze.

Of course, she knew the secret of the Yellow Emperor City, the Seven Stars Qi Introduction, which was a rare secret method for refining the body.

I think that at the beginning, I was very interested in this secret method, but the elders of the Yellow Emperor City did not agree, and then some elders wanted to secretly use the secret method as a bride price and wanted to form a Taoist couple with her, but she naturally did not agree.

To this day, the things she had given up for a long time came to her hands so easily, so that she had to sigh at the mystery of fate.

But what she was more curious about was where did the secret method in Ming Chen's hand come from? The evil cultivator who can obtain this secret method can be captured by him as a martial artist?

For a while, she actually began to have some interest in this disciple, pure curiosity.

On the other side, after Ming Chen stepped into the hundred-step stone steps, he found a flat place to sit down at random.

I have to say, it's quiet here, the scenery is good, no one has bothered it, and it's very close to the Moon Palace, but it's also close to the bamboo building.

Cultivating immortals is really a retreat every three or five times.

Take a Bigu Dan and meditate according to the method taught by the master.

At first, he couldn't settle down at all, and he couldn't sit for a while with distracting thoughts in his heart, let alone surrender his heart.

But after a few months of training, he was determined, and with tenacity, he was finally able to settle deeply.

For thirty days in a row, he was looking for peace in his heart.

On this day, everything around him was quiet, and Ming Chen seemed to have turned into stone, and in the mist, he 'saw' a little divine light.
