Shi Zhong stood quietly three inches above the mourning platform, and listened to his own breathing and the breathing of heaven and earth. His heartbeat gradually matched his breathing, and he relaxed wholeheartedly. He no longer deliberately directed the flow of Tao Qi, but used his body and mind to sense it.
This sitting lasted all night. At this time, the morning light broke through the clouds and poured down on the stone clock sitting cross-legged on the high stone.
After a while, as the morning light fell, Shi Zhong's eyes slowly opened, as if the beauty of the bells in the world had gathered together, his eyes were clear and transparent, and then his face lit up with joy, and after sitting there all night, he finally made a breakthrough, and the Taoist cultivator reached the level of
After reaching level 23 in the middle stage of foundation building, the progress of one level is nothing. What Shi Zhong cares about is that he understands Tao better and has a deeper understanding of the four words "Tao follows nature".
Concentrating with one hand, visible to the naked eye, light blue water mist seemed to appear out of thin air, condensing on the top of Shi Zhong's head. Soon, it seemed as if it was going to rain, a dark cloud, extremely moist, but
, No matter how hard Shi Zhong tried, the rain just wouldn't come down, which made Shi Zhong very helpless. However, with this achievement, Shi Zhong was already very happy.
Turning the clouds over is no lie!
Shi Zhong stood up and looked up at the rising sun at the end of the horizon. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a clear roar, which shook the sky and frightened the birds for several kilometers around. He let out a long sigh of relief. Shi Zhong clasped his hands and chanted: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, I'm a little carried away.
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his breath was restrained, and he returned to his ordinary image. But, well, his skin is getting better and better. It seems that he can enjoy the sun more and don't become a pretty boy.
In the past half month, Shi Zhong has been traveling with the strength of an ordinary person. Moreover, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the total is less than a hundred miles. He still wanders around in this mountain range.
After not eating meat for half a month, Shi Zhong's mouth really faded away. He jumped off the high stone like a roc spreading its wings, and reached dozens of meters away in a few leaps. This Taoist practice has made progress, and his Qinggong is much better.
When he came out this time, Shi Zhong specially prepared uncooked rice and a pot so that he could eat rice. Anyway, the space of the space ring has now reached 100 cubic meters. It is big enough, and there is no need to worry about crowding.
After finding a small stream, Shi Zhong washed the rice and made a pot on the fire. Then he ran to the stream and took a sharpened wooden fork. He forked a fish into the river and made some dishes for the meal, including oil and salt sauce.
However, I didn’t forget to bring Shi Zhong with me, so I had a good meal with Shi Zhong.
I don’t know if my cultivation level has improved, but my appetite has actually started to increase. Why didn’t I notice it before? What I eat is quickly refined into nutrients, and then generates essence, essence, blood, essence, etc., to provide what is needed for cultivation.
energy.
Shi Zhong set out again, but this time he did not deliberately hide his strength. Under full exertion, even the steep land was like a plain. However, his speed depended on his mood, sometimes half a hundred kilometers a day, sometimes half a thousand kilometers a day.
During this period, you can eat the wind and drink the dew. When you are hungry, you can eat fruits or cook meat by yourself. When you are thirsty, you can drink natural water.
Ten days later, when he came to a village and heard the local Sichuan accent, Shi Zhong realized that he had come to Sichuan. Since ancient times, Sichuan has been in the Duoqi Mountains. No wonder it has become difficult to walk on the mountain roads recently, and the mountains have become higher.
During this period, Shi Zhong met many ancient trees that were more than a hundred years old, and even discovered two thousand-year-old trees. Naturally, Shi Zhong was not polite and sucked them all to strengthen his life energy.
In fact, in this mountainous land, there are deep mountains and old forests. Although they are not everywhere everywhere, there are definitely no shortage of ancient trees. However, Shi Zhong did not deliberately look for ancient trees, but walked as he pleased. If he happened to encounter them,
, then naturally accept it, otherwise, Shi Zhong's current meridians would have been deified long ago, instead of being one-fifth short of the current ones.
These days, Shi Zhong has not slacked off in his research on "The Chapter of Foundation Establishment". He has made some gains and gained a deeper understanding of Taoism. Throughout the ages, how many people have stopped at the Foundation Establishment stage, not because of insufficient qualifications, but because of their lack of qualifications.
Time does not allow.
Generally speaking, when cultivating the Tao and building the foundation, you naturally build the foundation with your own body and refine your body's energy. And where does your body's energy come from? Naturally, it comes from daily food, such as three meals a day and nutritional supplements.
, heaven and earth medicinal materials, etc. Most people usually feel strong after eating most of these things, but for ascetics, they can be artificially refined into the essence, essence, and blood needed for cultivation. These are necessary for foundation building.
.
How can ordinary food extract so much essence, blood, essence, and essence? Heaven and earth medicinal materials are dozens of times more effective than ordinary food, but precious medicinal materials are extremely rare, so many people cannot build a foundation in their lifetime.
Of course, the above is based on this person's proficiency in the method of foundation building. There are more than tens of thousands of Taoist temples in the world. I am afraid that less than one ten thousandth of the Taoist temples that truly master the method of foundation building is added to the foundation building method.
Difficulties, opportunities and perseverance are all indispensable, so Yi Chenzi dares to say that there is no foundation builder in the world.
This "Foundation Building Dao Chapter" explains in detail the various precautions and methods during the foundation building period. For example, the method for the last breakthrough was the one mentioned above, which was of great benefit to Shi Zhong and allowed Shi Zhong to avoid some detours.
Lying leisurely on the side branches of Metasequoia, closing his eyes and relaxing, letting the night wind ruffle his hair and clothes, Shi Zhong felt extremely comfortable. He rested his head on his hands, feeling the rich wood spirit and a little water spirit in the mountain forest.
The Qi makes the spiritual platform empty and bright.
Some people will never be able to find this kind of purity in their lifetime. The so-called purity is not the environment you are in, but whether your mind can reach that state. Here, you are no longer a person, but a person in the mountains and forests.
A member is a breeze, a plant, a white cloud...
On this day, while walking among the mountains and forests, standing on the top of the peaks, Shi Zhong discovered that there was a village sitting in the valley not far away. Judging from the number of houses, there were quite a few. Shi Zhong was overjoyed.
Since then, he has been practicing hard in the deep mountains alone. Shi Zhong even suspected that he had lost the ability to speak.
Walking towards the village, he moved very fast, stimulating the Tao power, and it felt like wind was blowing under his feet. This is what Shi Zhong has realized for many days. He put the Tao power on his feet and moved it through the meridians under his feet.
The two feet are extremely powerful. One step is three or four times the normal size. Could this be the legendary shrinking into an inch?
Of course, it is a smaller version of shrinking into an inch. I don’t know if the real shrinking into an inch exists, but Shi Zhong believes that if it does exist, it is definitely a special spell for Taoist masters. One step can cover more than ten feet, which is comparable to the land gods.
.
When he arrived at the village, he walked on the path between the bluestone slabs and listened to the long-lost noisy sound. Shi Zhong actually felt that the noise was so pleasant. Why hadn't he noticed it before? Was he a bitch?
Shi Zhong shook his head. The people here were dressed very simply. Most of the houses were old houses from decades ago. There were very few red-brick bungalows that represented the modern atmosphere. Moreover, most of the people Shi Zhong saw were old and weak women. He wanted to come to Qing
All the strong men have gone out to work to earn money to support their families. I was looking for someone to inquire about the geographical location of this place. Suddenly, a commotion came from the front, followed by the sound of "dong dong" gongs.
Shi Zhong looked up and saw a group of people, men, women, old and young, walking out of the corner of the path. The leader was four young people carrying a door panel. There were several cubes placed on the door panel, covered with black cloth.
I couldn't see clearly what was inside, but there were constant sounds of chickens crowing, dogs barking, and livestock grunting.
No one noticed Shi Zhong, an outsider. A group of people passed by Shi Zhong and headed forward. Shi Zhong was curious, could he be offering sacrifices to gods? With this thought in mind, he followed closely behind the group.
Soon, the team climbed over several rice fields and stopped at a pool. This pool was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and on the other side was a high slope. It was said to be a pool, but in fact it was as big as a reservoir. Shi Zhong stood in the pool.
Looking to the opposite side, it was a thousand meters away, and the water on the surface of the pool was rippling, so calm.
When they arrived here, the originally noisy crowd immediately became quite quiet. Shi Zhong heard many children muttering something like "Grandpa Dragon God is eating", etc. He couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. It was really the so-called sacrifice to the gods, but
There is no sea or river here, so what kind of dragon god can we worship?
Could it be that this reservoir will surge during floods? Will it be harmful to the thousands of hectares of farmland below?
The person who stood up to speak was an old man with gray hair. He was an elder in the village. He was talking loudly about something he didn't know. It was probably the local dialect. Shi Zhong couldn't understand it. He vaguely said "What Dragon God" and "What?"
"Protect"...
This was obviously not the first time this elderly man had done this. He was very eloquent and sprayed saliva for half an hour. Only when white foam appeared at the corner of his mouth did he stop without finishing and faced the four people next to him.
The young man said something, and the four young men lifted up the black cloth and revealed what was inside.
There were several wire cages, containing a black dog, a lamb, and several chickens.
Shouldn’t livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs be used to worship gods? And they are usually cooked, right? Why is the custom here so strong that it is a living sacrifice?
I saw four young men opening the cages and throwing all the livestock into the reservoir. Except for the dogs that could swim, these unlucky guys could only struggle wildly, including the sheep and chickens.
The atmosphere was extremely frozen. Hundreds of pairs of villagers' eyes were staring motionlessly at the struggling livestock in the reservoir, as if...expecting something?
Shi Zhong looked suspiciously, and suddenly, the water surface splashed with waves, and the water rippled. The little lamb struggled and hissed in fear, as if something was dragging it under the water.
The poor lamb didn't last for a second, and his whole body disappeared into the water, followed by those "chirping" chickens. When the water calmed down, a bloody red color appeared, which was blood. Both the lamb and the chicken were covered in water.
Eaten by unknown creatures.
The villagers who were paying attention burst into cheers, with expressions of joy and relief on their faces. They seemed to be relieved. Shi Zhong shook his head. Could it be that they regarded this underwater thing as the so-called Dragon God?
Just when the lamb was in trouble, Shi Zhong focused his eyes and caught a dark shadow through the unclear water. It had an extremely long body and looked a bit like a water snake. But does a water snake have such a big body? That body is big enough.
It's as thick as a bucket. As for its length, Shi Zhong didn't see all of it, but it's at least seven or eight meters tall.
