Liu Yuan returned to the quiet room, adjusted his breath for a long time, and recalled every sentence Ren Shidao had said before in his mind. He felt that there were no omissions or mistakes, and then he slowly opened the volume of "Tianji Landscape Pictures".
The picture seems to be an ordinary azure landscape, with endless distant mountains hidden in the vast expanse of clouds and mist. The large blank space in the center of the picture should be a long river, triggering a space for endless reverie.
"Where is the technique?"
Just as Liu Yuang was thinking silently in his mind, he discovered that there seemed to be something at the foot of the green mountain and next to the winding river.
That's...a stone tablet hidden in the grass!
When Liu Yuan was eager to see clearly, he found that the spiritual power in his body was flowing away, as if it was being poured into the landscape painting.
Fortunately, the spiritual power quickly stopped flowing, but Liu Yuan couldn't care less about spiritual power at this time.
Because the stone tablet suddenly enlarged, it was as if it was rushing straight into his eyes.
Is this...the power of space?
Liu Yuan exclaimed. The stone tablet had enlarged to the height of half a person in an instant, and finally stopped changing, and the consumption of spiritual power also stopped at the same time.
I saw two big characters on the top of the stone tablet:
heart ~ meridian
Liu Yuan then remembered the big word "heart" written by Ren Shidao in the air, secretly thinking that he was waiting here, and couldn't help but frown as he continued to read.
This Heart Sutra only talks about ordinary methods of breathing luck, and it is no different from the basic skills he learned outside. He read it again and again, but he didn't find any mystery in the words, so he was a little disappointed.
No, there must be something interesting in it. He didn't realize it, maybe he hadn't realized it yet. Thinking of the word heart, Liu Yuan forced himself to calm down.
Let's practice first. Anyway, the spiritual energy here is rich. Since the competition and selection, he has not really practiced calmly.
They come, the security.
Liu Yuan adjusted his breath and state, and circulated his spiritual power steadily for a whole week. He began to breathe in and out in a leisurely manner, approaching the peak state of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period step by step.
About ten days passed. Outside the cave, a fallen leaf fluttered in the wind, fell, and landed on the ground. Liu Yuan in the stone room suddenly moved and opened his eyes from the deep feast.
At this time, he felt transparent inside and outside, and extremely comfortable. After these few days of meditation, his body and mind had been fully rested, and his energy, energy, and spirit were fully restored.
However, Liu Yuan, who was at the peak of Qi refining at this time, was in a situation where he was in a state of profit and undecided. If he did not take a step closer to foundation building, he would most likely lose money and stay in the Qi refining stage, making it more difficult to break through.
But there was no other technique to refer to, so Liu Yuan had no choice but to look at the stone tablet in the picture again.
"Hey," he found that the stone tablet half buried in the grass seemed to be higher and bigger. Was it his imagination?
I looked carefully at each word, and there was no change. It was still the same words.
wrong!
As a monk, his memory is no longer what it used to be, and he has long been familiar with this text.
This is still the same text, but different!
In other words, the same words, the same arrangement and combination. The strange thing is that the words between the words are no longer so "ordinary", but full of some mysterious feeling.
And it’s a good feeling.
Liu Yuan looked at the word "heart" in the Heart Sutra, thoughtfully.
This time, he looked inside and fell into a deeper state.
Another ten days have passed, and Liu Yuan is still like a clay or wood sculpture, not moving at all.
…
A month passed, and several transmission notes arrived at the entrance of the cave one after another. They were blocked by the magic circle and stuck on the stone wall of the cave.
…
Three months have passed. Wu Darong has come, Liu Yanshi has come, and even Li Nu has come. Seeing that Liu Yuan couldn't come out of seclusion, they just said that it was the critical moment to start building the foundation.
Half a year later, Ren Tianqing also came. She was already at the second level of the foundation building stage.
She stood at the entrance of the cave for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking, and finally left.
The one-year period is gradually approaching.
As usual, all formal disciples of Tianji Peak will gather together regularly to listen to their master's teachings and lectures, and also to exchange experiences with each other. On this day, although the master has not arrived yet, some people can no longer hold themselves back.
"Da Rong," Ren Tianqing called his senior brother, who was also so humble, "it's been almost a year."
Wu Darong didn't care about his title. He was also worried about Liu Yuan who was silent.
"Maybe in the next few days."
"How many days?" Someone heard their whispers and suddenly said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."
Tianqing frowned and looked over, and it was a golden elixir-level disciple named Mu Zihui. He was a member of a family who entered the main peak earlier. A few of the more senior disciples in Tianji Peak have already retreated or traveled abroad. Therefore, among those here, he is the leader, and in terms of Taoism, he is naturally much higher than Wu Darong, who has just advanced to the golden elixir.
In the clan, Mu Zihui had a close relationship with Mu Bingcheng, and he had long been dissatisfied with him for losing to Liu Yuanduo in the martial arts competition. Besides, as a disciple of an aristocratic family, he did not look down on foreign surnames.
As the leader of the disciples with a foreign surname, Wu Darong was often assigned some chores by his master. Fortunately, he had a low-key personality and did not cause trouble.
But who is this Liu Yuan? Since you are not from a noble family and have no background, how can you get the favor of your master? Mu Zihui couldn't understand, and he even disliked this new disciple this year.
His words were echoed by everyone around him. There were quite a few people who had this idea, and most of them were disciples of the Mu family.
Ren Tianqing herself was promoted to foundation building after more than a year, but this was mainly because she couldn't bear the loneliness and half-heartedness. When she heard these slanders, she felt embarrassed. She wanted to contradict the senior brother, but Wu Darong quietly stopped her. So she just stared at him, thinking, isn't it because she got started earlier? One day If I want to surpass you, Darong will also surpass you, yes, and Liu Yuan.
Mu Zihui received Tian Qing's eye roll. Although it was not easy to get angry, he couldn't help but feel more disgusted with Liu Yuan in his heart.
Fortunately, Master Ren came gracefully, and everyone quickly collected their bodies and minds, sat upright, and prepared to listen to Master's teachings, teachings, and answers to their doubts.
The room is filled with a solemn and harmonious atmosphere.
…
One year is up.
In "Landscape", the stone monument half a man's height has changed beyond recognition. It has now turned into a stone tower dozens of feet high standing on the bank of the long river. The stone towers are evenly distributed from the base upwards, forming a hexagonal shape, and each side is densely packed. It's full of scriptures.
This seemed unbelievable, but Liu Yuan's heart was calm. In this year, he had watched the stone tablet grow into the behemoth it is now.
Whenever Liu Yuan follows the guidance of the Heart Sutra on the stone tablet and circulates the spiritual energy in his body for thirty-six days, he will find that the stone tablet has become larger again when he wakes up, or that there are new corrections and additions.
In this way, Liu Yuan stimulated the changes in the stone tablets again and again during his cultivation. I don't know when he started to enter a state of seclusion in life and death. There was only one person and one picture left in his entire world.
Things will fall into place.
Liu Yuan thought of the commandments on the Foundation Establishment Pill Bottle.
The spiritual energy in the whole body can't help but surge and settle, becoming more and more concentrated and viscous. In the ocean of aura, a small island gradually formed and emerged from the water.
Liu Yuan knew that his path to foundation building had begun.
