Although Mount Emei in Jiazhou is not as famous as the Five Mountains, the Miejie Shitai in the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slaying has made countless people know about Mount Emei. In fact, Mount Emei is famous all over China because of its beauty. "Emei County Chronicles" says: "Yun

The emerald green hair on the temples is like a moth's eyebrows, thin and long, beautiful and gorgeous, hence the name Mount Emei."

Mount Emei has many historic sites and a large number of Buddhist temples. Among them are Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Xixiang Pond, Longmen Cave, etc. It is a famous Buddhist holy place in China. Legend has it that Mount Emei is the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. However, they are both in Jiazhou.

The Mount Emei Cave in the territory is one of the thirty-six caves in Taoist legends. It can be said that Jiazhou alone has gathered countless legends of supernatural beings from Chinese Taoists and Buddhists.

Yiran was born here and grew up here.

He has worked hard since he was a child and has a strong interest in all kinds of books. The difficult problems in each subject are not easy to solve, and it is not difficult at all to draw inferences from one example.

As he grew older, the teacher who taught Yiran summed up his evaluation of him in eight words: he is a humble child, very wise but almost a monster.

Only Yiran knows that he is not worthy of being a teacher. There is no difference between him and his peers from the time he can remember. The only difference is that he likes to read. Whether it is poetry, poetry, strange stories, or local county annals, he is interested in it.

The goal.

Therefore, Yiran never leaves his hand with a Xinhua Dictionary. Perhaps some people may not know as many characters in their lives as Yiran did when he was fifteen.

In fact, Yi Ran knew very well that her change started when she picked up a copy of "Tao Zang".

In places like the foothills of Mount Emei, where Taoist and Buddhist beliefs are prevalent, this type of miscellaneous books can be said to be commonplace. Various antique markets and street vendors will sell such books.

Normally, when others give this kind of book to themselves, they will doubt whether they have met a liar, just like a child in Kung Fu meets a beggar who sells him the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. No one will believe that book of Eighteen Subduing the Dragon.

Palm Palm is a real martial arts secret book.

Although young people all have martial arts dreams, society will only continue to beat this dream until it is turned into ashes.

Yiran came across the book "Tao Zang" because he was wandering around the second-hand book market. Coming from a not-so-rich family, the second-hand market was the best shopping paradise for his family.

No matter how new the books here are, they are all discounted by at least 40%. Most of the books Yiran usually reads come from here.

Yi Ran clearly remembers: that day in a store that sells second-hand books, the bookstore that usually sells books at 50% off the retail price started selling books by the pound. Although several stores next door also did this kind of thing, waste paper cost 50 cents per pound.

According to the market situation, selling used books for five yuan per pound seems like a good deal. In fact, most of the final prices are higher than the 50% discount.

However, this store packs a bunch of various books and sells them by the pound at a price as low as half of other stores, which has attracted the attention of many people. If the types of books were not so diverse, they might have been sold out long ago.

But even so, there are still many people choosing their favorite ones.

But no one would read the stack of books that Yiran chose. This is because the stack of books is half a meter thick, and a copy of "Tao Zang" takes up a full 20 centimeters. The "gilt" is dazzling but generic.

The fluorescent patinated cover is exaggerated to the extreme at first glance. The book is very heavy to hold, and the cold touch makes the whole book full of strange texture. Flip through a few pages, and the content is weird. It is either about cultivating immortals and becoming gods, or refining alchemy and refining weapons.

, only those lifelike illustrations can be a feast for the eyes.

When I picked up the book, I knew why no one was interested. The book was too heavy, and the cover and the weight distracted everyone's interest.

But Yi Ran was different. Although he couldn't help but laugh at the talk about cultivation, he also aroused strong interest when he read about unheard of creatures.

Children are interested in cool things that they have never seen before. The lifelike illustrations have only one word in Yiran’s eyes: handsome! Very handsome!

The tiger with wings is even more powerful than the tiger in the zoo at first glance. There is also a turtle with eight tails, which is described as being more than thirty feet tall. Hey, it's interesting.

When I saw the descriptions of various plants, Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng seemed a bit real. But when I read the introduction carefully, I was stunned on the spot.

Forget about the 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. Anyway, the artificially cultivated Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are very expensive, and they have to be sold by the gram!

As for the blue-blood Ganoderma lucidum and the amethyst ginseng, they sound very horrifying, and the detailed illustrations make Yiran feel that the author has really seen such things.

I wanted to see who edited this book and which publisher it was, but I couldn't find anything. It was a complete "three-no" product.

There are also alchemy and weapon refining as well as various calligraphy secrets, Five Elements and Bagua, etc., which makes Yiran even more stunned. If there is such a thing as cultivation in this world, then this is really a big encyclopedia. It’s just new.

In the 19th century, no one in China believed in religion, let alone the kind of practice that appeared in novels.

But seeing those extremely handsome animals, Yiran was really moved. Finally, she dragged her parents to buy this stack of books. It weighed more than 40 kilograms, and a copy of "Tao Zang" weighed more than ten kilograms.

Yiran's parents also know that their children like to read books, and all kinds of books are welcome. Although a bunch of books are a bit expensive, and there is also a strange book weighing more than ten pounds, but compared to others of the same age, they can hold their mobile phones all day long.

I don’t know how much better it is to play.

Later, in school, whenever I heard my classmates talk about how powerful mobile games were and what magical weapons they had obtained, such as machine guns and cannons, Yiran couldn't help but think of the various creatures in the book.

A year later, I had finished reading all the books I bought on the second-hand market, leaving only "Tao Zang" that I had not yet read.

Open the Taoist canon and practice the first lesson, breathing out. Breathing out is as simple as adjusting your breathing and calming your mind.

One day, Yiran suddenly encountered a problem and couldn't figure it out. When she was upset, she remembered the introduction in the book that breathing can calm the mind.

With a dead horse being treated as a live doctor, Yiran tried to breathe. Although he still couldn't figure out the last question, his body and mind did become very relaxed when he breathed.

So whenever she felt irritable, Yiran would adjust her state by talking. It wasn't until a month later that Yiran suddenly found that her thinking on the topic had become extremely clear, and she could even draw inferences from one instance. That year, Yiran was ten years old and was in the third grade of elementary school.

.

As for entering concentration after breathing in and out, Yi Ran was completely unable to do so.

The book records that you need to sit cross-legged, calm your mind through breathing, and guide the true energy in the body to circulate around the meridians in the body to enter concentration.

I remember the meridians diagram of the human body clearly in my mind, but what is the process of guiding the movement of Qi?

Yiran only tried it once. She sat cross-legged for more than half an hour until her calves became numb and she didn't feel any breath.

Then he laughed at himself, saying that he had heard of breathing and breathing to maintain health and adjust his condition. As for practicing meditation, I don’t know if the enlightened monks in the temple can do it, but I have heard that the salaries of these monks are very high.

Ever since she breathed and felt its effects at the age of eight, it has become a habit for Yiran. She can calm her mind through breathing at any time.

Also starting from this year, his grades have made great progress. He was originally only average in grades, but he has become top-notch in both Chinese and English. He has an almost photographic memory in Chinese and English.

As long as his grades are good, Yiran's parents don't care if he goes to read all kinds of strange stories. For them, as long as his grades stay like this, in the future, if he gets into a good university and finds a good job, he will no longer have to envy others for their good food.

If you use it well, you can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Yiran is already fifteen years old and about to enter high school. In the past seven years, Yiran's grades have always been among the best, and key high schools can be said to be within reach. The book has been with me for many years, and I have read it countless times and have memorized all the contents.

It has been a long time since I have read Daozang in my mind. The gilt fluorescent cover seems to have become a little dull, and the weight seems to be lighter.

This year, Yi Ran accidentally felt that after breathing for a long time, there would be a slight flow of heat in the Dantian under the belly button. This was because she encountered a problem and calmed down through breathing for a while, and suddenly discovered it.

The content about entering samadhi suddenly appeared in Yiran's mind, and every sentence and every word was clearly visible. He immediately sat cross-legged and let his mind guide the movement of Qi through the instructions recorded in the book. In other words, he tried to control the hot air with his own thoughts.

It moves in the meridians. Although the ball of heat is like a toddler, it is almost uncontrollable and moves extremely slowly or even intermittently.

But Yiran, who had discovered the New World, was not discouraged and controlled the heat step by step.

I don't know how long it took, but after Yiran finally guided the hot air to complete a circle in the meridians that he had memorized, he was suddenly shocked. The hot air instantly connected head to tail to form a large circle. In the words of "Tao Zang", it means that the true energy circulates naturally.

The purpose of forming Zhoutian is to refine Qi.

From then on, Yiran was shocked to discover that there were cultivators in the world, and he had already taken the first step.

The world suddenly became clear to him.

But Yiran suddenly remembered that it was recorded in the book that ordinary people can enter meditation and refine Qi in a few months, which was really shocking.

After that, Yiran would climb Mount Emei every weekend. One was to exercise, and the other was to try his luck to see if he could find any more records about cultivating immortals. The most important thing was that the feeling on the mountain made Yiran very comfortable. It was easier to enter.

Once in a meditative state, it is easier to guide the flow of Qi with the mind. Therefore, climbing mountains every week has become Yiran's favorite sport.

This kind of life has been going on for another seven years. The biggest gain of these seven years is that I have been admitted to the number one university in Jiazhou and will graduate with honors. The life my parents want me to live is right in front of me.

Winter is over and summer has not yet arrived. May is the best time to visit scenic spots. Mount Emei has beautiful weather and sunny weather, and there are countless tourists. Yi Ran, who is full of energy and full of spring, is one of them.

At first glance, Yiran is not the kind of fitness expert with explosive muscles. But with a big bag on his back, he keeps surpassing the climbing crowd and strives to reach the top. This mountain road has been traveled thousands of times, with the highest altitude of three

More than a thousand meters may be a challenge for other tourists, but for Yiran, it is a familiar road.

Most people come here to take selfies and check in, but Yiran comes here because she can feel nature more quietly.

Although it is said in "Tao Zang" that I can't use any of the techniques that can be used for Qi training, the biggest benefit that entering samadhi brings to me is that my body becomes stronger and my thinking is clear. After all, this society needs talents with high IQs.

, rather than a god who can call the wind and rain.

I chose an off-the-beaten-path peach forest, took out the book "Tao Zang" that I hadn't read for a long time, but each word and illustration was engraved in my mind and read it gently.

Except for the fact that the cover of this book has dimmed in fluorescence, the slightly yellowed pages have not changed at all. Thinking about the changes this book has brought to me, I can't help but sigh.

I persisted in vomiting for seven years, and entered samadhi for another seven years. Although I have never seen other strange beasts, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures, and I can’t use any spells. But it has really made my mind clear, and I have gained enough.

Now, it’s time to be satisfied.

Sit cross-legged on a stone, put Daozang on your legs and breathe gently.

As he circulated his true energy around the sky, he suddenly felt horrified and a horrified expression appeared on his face. He was accustomed to seeing his true energy faintly, but suddenly it was like a flood, constantly washing away his meridians.

The swelling and cracking of the meridians made Yiran's face muscles twitch in pain, and at the same time, endless waves poured into his body from his Dantian.

Yiran suddenly discovered that the source of the change in the true energy was the Daozang on his legs. The wisps of breath emanated from the book, and after entering the Dantian, it instantly turned into a flood that wanted to destroy the world.

It was at this moment that Mount Emei was covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and the thick dark clouds brought endless depression.

The tourists who were taking selfies just a second ago suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly found a place to take shelter from the rain. The weather forecast was clearly sunny, but the sudden thunder and lightning caused troubles to the tourists as heavy as dark clouds.

Tourists with a good attitude took pictures of the lightning and thunder scene with their mobile phones, and wrote a joke, "Who is the Taoist who is going to escape the tribulation here?"

The moment he noticed the dark clouds appearing above his head, Yiran felt that the dark clouds and thunder and lightning were coming towards him. This was the Foundation-Building Thunder Tribulation recorded in the book.

However, the book states that the difficulty of this lightning disaster is relatively low, and those who are proficient in spells and have magic weapons can easily survive it.

However, I have nothing and know nothing. Although I insist on entering samadhi, I never feel that I have made much progress in my cultivation. I still don’t know how far I am from building the foundation, but I still have tens of thousands of miles to go.

But why is it suddenly necessary to build a foundation?
To be continued...
