Time flies, and more than two months have passed in a blink of an eye...

Zhang Xiuyuan is like a lonely nest old man, who lives in a virtual way, and during the day, he is either studying the method of cultivation under the big banyan tree, or reading miscellaneous travelogues to increase his knowledge...

He was so happy and quiet, as if he had forgotten about his practice, or for him, it was a kind of practice...

During this period, Zhang Miaoshan and Ning Zizhen also came to Taixu to watch once, because after the beginning of autumn, their aunt and nephew had to go to Yuntai Mountain to practice, and they came to say goodbye.

Xu is because Zhang Miaoshan is an 'immortal fetus', and he has already built a foundation early and successfully started to practice...

When she came back, she saw that her senior brother had not yet succeeded in building a foundation, so he walked with his head tilted, very energetic, and even intimately taught him the experience of building a foundation.

And Ning Zizhen only persuaded him not to be in a hurry about building a foundation, and when he understood that his body, mind, and mind were quiet, he would succeed in building a foundation...

Zhang Xiuyuan naturally didn't say anything about their kindness, but just smiled and said that he would redouble his efforts and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible.

Before parting...

Zhang Miaoshan dragged his senior brother to the backyard again.

Zhang Xiuyuan was uneasy, and his distracting thoughts were full of thoughts, but he was helpless, so he could only sit in the big banyan tree for a night before he could barely give up his distracting thoughts...

Early the next morning.

The sky is white...

Zhang Xiuyuan, who had been sitting quietly under the big banyan tree all night, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes looked directly at the rising sun in the sky, and there seemed to be purple qi rising in his eyes.

'My aunt and sister have gone to Yuntai Mountain to practice, and it's time for me to build a foundation for formal practice...'

He sat cross-legged under the big banyan tree facing the rising sun, hugging Yuan Shouyi, his body gradually relaxed, his breathing gradually became longer, and his mind slowly emptied.

He concentrated inwardly, concentrating on meditation, listening back to his ears, as if he heard the sound of his own breathing, as for the speed of breathing, thickness, depth, length and shortness, all of them changed naturally...

Listen and listen, the heart is already interdependent, there are no distracting thoughts, even the breath seems to be gone, and gradually you reach the realm of 'meditation'...

If the body does not move, it is said that the body is still;

If the thought is not moving, it is said that the heart is still;

I don't know what I mean by quiet.

Under the illumination of the rising sun, he slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he felt the existence of the 'qi machine' in his body.

He manipulated the wisps of mysterious qi and divided it into two strands, one starting from the perineal point between his legs, from the front of the body along the center to the lower lip bearing point, opening up the Ren vein;

The other stream also starts from the perineal point between the legs, and goes backwards along the spine, reaches the top of the head and then forwards between the eyes, and reaches the gingival point on the roof of the mouth.

In medicine, Ren is the main blood and the main qi of the human body, which is the main meridian of the human body. Opening up the two pulses of Rendu can effectively improve physical fitness, strengthen muscles and bones, and promote circulatory metabolism.

In practice, if the two pulses are connected, then the eight pulses are connected; Eight pulses are connected, and one hundred pulses are connected, which is the foundation of cultivation.

Zhang Xiuyuan saw that he had found the 'qi machine', and the veins in his body were connected, and he also knew that the foundation had been built, so he opened his eyes and got up and stretched.

With a crisp sound of intertwined bones, he only felt that his whole body was transparent, and there was an indescribable sense of comfort.

He took a long sigh of relief, then went back to the house and took out the 'Immortal Yuan Fruit' that had been treasured for more than two months, and chuckled: "It's also thanks to you that you're not a vulgar thing..."

The 'Immortal Yuan Fruit' seemed to be made of water, and before he could taste the taste of the Immortal Fruit in his mouth, the flesh of the fruit had already turned into a jade liquid flowing down his throat into his abdomen.

His skin gradually became hot, as if a little black gas was coming out of the top of his head...

If the 'qi' he sensed after the foundation was built, then the 'qi' he sensed now is like a river;

If after the foundation was built, he felt transparent and had an indescribable sense of comfort, then now he feels reborn, and he can't talk about the past!

Zhang Xiuyuan has no references, and he doesn't know how many years of penance he has saved after this 'Immortal Yuan Fruit' entered his abdomen.

Ten years, perhaps?

Or maybe a hundred years?

He didn't know, but when he thought that his cultivation might have reached the realm that his master had dreamed of at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart...

Creation makes people worse than this...

In August, the sun was still blazing, and now a dark cloud is blowing from nowhere, and the showers are coming in an instant.

Zhang Xiuyuan looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and wanted to cultivate for a while in the view, and stabilize his cultivation by the way.

But thinking that he now has cultivated himself and can already use the methods in "Needle Performing Dao", he opened the oil-paper umbrella and went out...

The pines and cypresses on both sides of the mountain road are shaking the branches, and the green-robed Taoist holding an umbrella is descending from the steps, and the raindrops fall on the umbrella surface and burst out in all directions, and the water mist is thick, as if in a painting.

Went down the mountain and entered Gusu City...

In a short time, a medical hall came into view, in addition to the signboard of "Tongjia Medical Center", there was a pair of couplets hanging next to the door, the left book: "I wish there was no disease in the world", and the right book: "I would rather use medicine on the shelf to produce dust".

Perhaps because of the rain, there were no patients in the hospital except for the reception staff at the front desk who was cleaning.

The receptionist saw a young Taoist stepping into the medical hall, hurriedly leaned over to take the oil-paper umbrella on it, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the chief wants to grab medicine or ask for a doctor?" ”

"The poor road came here to find people..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head and asked, "I don't know if Dr. Tong Yongzhou Tong is in the medical hall?" ”

"Yes, yes..."

The receptionist nodded with a smile and asked, "The owner is teaching apprentices in the backyard, and the Taoist chief doesn't know what to tell the owner, so the little one can help the Taoist master pass on one or two." ”

"You're welcome..."

Zhang Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Poor Dao and Doctor Tong are old acquaintances, and the little brother will say that Zhang Xiuyuan can visit." ”

"Wait a minute, the little one is the transmission."

After the reception guy finished speaking, he ran to the backyard...

After a while, I saw Tong Yongzhou trotting out all the way, and after seeing that the person who came was really Senior Brother Zhang, his face also showed a little joy, and he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, don't come to harm?" ”

"Brother Lao Tong is worried..."

Zhang Xiuyuan also returned the salute and said with a smile: "Coming to visit rashly today didn't affect Senior Brother Tong's apprenticeship, right?" ”

"Say where is this..."

Tong Yongzhou pretended to be displeased and snorted lightly, and then seemed to think of something, stepped forward and took his hand and dragged him to the backyard, and said with a smug smile: "A few days ago, I accepted a disciple, and the talent for pharmacology is only seen in my life, and the key is that this son's character is also to my liking." ”

Zhang Xiuyuan said with his hands when he heard this: "Congratulations to the senior brother for getting a good apprentice." ”

"Where, where."

Tong Yongzhou mentioned the newly accepted apprentice, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "Senior brother, you came just in time, help me see if this son can inherit my mantle." ”

"I'm a layman, how can I make decisions for my senior brother?"

"Hahahaha~"

During the chat, the two had already arrived at the pharmacy in the backyard.

The arrangement of the pharmacy is rather peculiar, with cabinets on all sides, on which are marked with the names of various medicinal herbs, and as soon as you enter the door, you can smell the strong smell of herbs.

A child, about twelve or thirteen years old, sat at the table, closed his eyes, and sniffed the smell of the herbs on the table, as if to classify them.

"This son is called An Jiuling..."

Tong Yongzhou introduced, and then called: "Jiuling, open your eyes, this is the Taixu Guan Daochang I mentioned to you, if you are in terms of seniority, you have to call Uncle Shi." ”

An Jiuling opened his eyes, saw that someone seemed to be a little shy, thinking of the master's explanation, he saluted Zhang Xiuyuan respectfully: "Disciple An Jiuling, I have seen my uncle." ”

"No need to be polite..."

Zhang Xiuyuan touched his body a little embarrassed, then glanced at the senior brother beside him, and quipped: "I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't bring a greeting gift with me, senior brother, you are deliberately embarrassing me~"

"Hahahaha~"

Tong Yongzhou laughed heartily when he heard this, waved his hand disappreciatively and said, "Senior brother, you can come to me as a guest, it is already the greatest gift." ”

"That's not going to happen~"

Zhang Xiuyuan smiled secretively and said, "I can't hide it, I really have a big gift for my senior brother when I visit today." ”

"Oh?"

Tong Yongzhou was shocked when he heard this, and seemed to be also aroused, and asked, "But I don't know what the gift is?" ”

"Helping my brother cure his hand disease, I don't know if it's a big gift?"
