0009_When to build a foundation

I am 15 years old, and my cultivation is Dzogchen Qi training period.

Many disciples who have just come from the mortal world are surprised. As a dual spiritual root, I have one-on-one guidance from the great power of the transformation stage, the supply of resources is open, and I was born in the cultivation world. Method... Under such superior conditions, why is it that 15 years have passed, and I am still in the Qi training period?

Comparing with the twin spiritual roots from the mortal world, when they entered Yunxiazong, they were probably fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest were at least seven or eight years old—this is impossible, Yunxiazong will not drag the family when accepting disciples If students are accepted by mouth, they will not let disciples bring servants. If brothers, sisters or friends are admitted together, it is still possible to help each other, but it is so easy to own spiritual roots in groups. It doesn't pay that much attention to mortal children or even sexism.

Those who can be included in the sect, normally speaking, can at least communicate logically.After these twin spiritual roots from the mortal world enter Yunxia Sect, they will enter the foundation building period on average after five or six years, and even one or two years will be enough if it is fast.Single spiritual roots are faster, and there are those who have jumped from entraining air into the body to foundation building in a few months.

The younger the children, because they can't understand the content in the introductory books, the slower their cultivation progress will be. Some children even have to learn to read, and the time will be longer.But no matter how long it takes, ten years should be enough to build a foundation, otherwise what is the advantage of this pair of spiritual roots?In ten years, four or five spiritual roots with good comprehension may be able to build a foundation, so why bother with two spiritual roots?

This actually involves a little bit of non-cultivation calculations.

There is such a problem in building the foundation. After building the foundation, you will formally step into cultivation. The most intuitive benefit is that your lifespan will be greatly increased and your body's metabolism will be greatly slowed down.The side effect is that the appearance will be fixed at the age at the moment of foundation establishment for a long period of time.That is to say, if you establish your foundation at the age of seven, then you will have the appearance of a child for at least five or sixty years. If you form a pill within these five or sixty years, the duration of your childish appearance will continue to prolong until the Yuan Dynasty. Only in infancy can the body be adjusted to a young adult at will.

My little uncle, my father's generation's junior brother, senior Qi Xi, is such a tragic example.Although the little uncle is already a Nascent Soul and has already changed his appearance into an adult man, the experience that everyone stuffed him with snacks and said that he is so cute and wants to be touched and hugged after hundreds of years is still impressive. He would not mention it.In terms of appearance and high coldness, the little uncle is a more icy existence than me.

Therefore, if you have elders who have become monks, they will generally tell you not to rush to build a foundation. The Qi training period is very important, and the foundation must be solid. Wuwu, it doesn't matter if it takes a few more years, there is no need to rush.

But, as I said, the overall tone of the world background in this life is similar to the ancient times in the previous life.The ancients spoke very reservedly, and the more educated they were, the more reserved they were.It is impossible for some of the monks to have a low level of education, otherwise, what practice is there if they can't even read the spell?Therefore, obedient people need a little savvy to understand its deep meaning.The little uncle just didn't hear it, and then it was a tragedy.

Of course, this can't be completely blamed on the little uncle, because after all, he was only seven years old, so he couldn't understand the complicated thinking of adults.

Thanks to the tragedy of the little uncle, the brothers and sisters of my generation are very calm during the qi training period. Even those who are just beginning to lose their breath will wake up during the gossip exchange time and then sink down.

——So the little uncle has grown up for so long, but his aura is getting colder and colder. This is really... an insoluble pain.On the day when his senior sisters stop stuffing him with candied haws with nostalgia on their faces, maybe the little senior uncle will start to thaw.

My qi training period is very steady and steady, absolutely not a little bit aggressive, and I will never take only one step if I can complete it in two steps.But even so, three years ago I completed my qi training period, but I planned to wait until I was 20 years old before building a foundation.

was rejected.

My siblings both made me foundation at 16 years old like them.

"The vitality of youth!" My sister Pei Miao howled, "Do you know that even a monk can only be young like this once! Although it is said that after the Nascent Soul Stage, you can adjust your appearance according to your will, but that is the most natural time. His appearance is that of being able to display his peak strength, and he is usually in his prime. You look at the little uncle, he can't wait to adjust himself into a muscular man, but in fact, most of them still look like a weak scholar. There is no way, he is alone Faxiu, the muscles are useless, they are superfluous parts, and the Nascent Soul's natural adjustment is to be adjusted for him."

Hey, don't always use the little uncle as a negative example, be careful that he will send you five thunderbolts, and then another ice-bound thousand miles.

My elder brother Pei Sen said: "Second brother, you have to think clearly. If you are 20 years old, your foundation building stage and golden core stage will grow slowly, but they still have to grow. Your starting point is much older than me and Pei Miao. At the age of five, you will gradually grow older than me and her, and then we will call you brother, don't you feel a little ashamed?"

But 16 is still underage.The legal age of majority in the previous life was, in ancient times, it was 20 years old.What's wrong with me choosing to build the foundation at the age of 20?

"If you don't build a foundation, you are not eligible to participate in the secret realm that will be opened when you are 17 years old." My father, Elder Pei, said that he has always been responsible for the final review of the list of secret realms.

Anyway, ginger is still old and spicy. I compromised as soon as my father opened his mouth. I must have established my foundation at the age of 16.

0010_ A pair of cold beauties

Yunxiazong has a pair of recognized cold beauties, one is me, and the other is my junior uncle Qi Xi.From the perspective of beauty and coldness, both of us are the well-deserved top two in the whole sect.

I complained to my sister privately about this, how could beauty pageants choose all men?

My sister said: "Then what can I do, you two are so beautiful that there is no distinction between men and women."

That's definitely not a compliment.

But compared to my slander, my little uncle's reaction was much more intense. He would beat anyone who dared to call beauty in front of him, and if he couldn't beat him, he would have to use his hands.This is the aftereffect of being the wife for too long and being molested for too many years.

My sister's words are still a bit biased.

It is a fact that I am so beautiful that men and women are not distinguished, so I hate looking in the mirror very much in this life. When I inherited my appearance, why did I inherit so much from my mother but not so much from my father?

My brother comforted me and said, "It's okay, you have eyes like your father's. You have to be thankful that you didn't inherit the peach blossom eyes of Senior Jiang, otherwise... tsk tsk tsk, staring at people is like winking, and you can't pretend to be cold. "

Come on, I'm also staring at everyone and blushing now, I don't dare to look at people easily.

But the little uncle is different from me, he is still very manly in beauty, he belongs to the kind of scholarly beauty, not a bit of a ladyboy like me.I can only hope that when I get older and mature, this enchanting feeling will be lessened, but I have already promised the 16-year-old Foundation Establishment... Sigh, this face...

Little Martial Uncle feels the same way about his own appearance as I do about mine, and I hate it very much.What the little uncle hopes to have is the physique of a strong man, the beauty of masculinity, preferably with a full face and tangled muscles.He once wanted to switch to body cultivation back then, but unfortunately his talent was not focused on body cultivation at all. He is a natural Dharma cultivator. Except for spells, he failed in practicing anything. Failure is a trivial matter, and it harms others. Has.What kind of alchemy frying furnace, spirit-gathering talisman draws the effect of thunder calamity... There are countless black histories, and until now they are often cited as examples of 'don't overestimate your capabilities'.

Maybe it's because my little uncle and I, as the top beauties of Yunxia Sect, are very dissatisfied with our looks, so the beauties in the sect who are slightly inferior to us are also very low-key, the beauties of Yunxia Sect may be The whole cultivation world is the most humble and peaceful, the so-called power of example...

0011_It's not a house

I remember that when I was reading a novel a few years before my death in my last life, there was either time travel or rebirth in it. Even if the protagonist is not, there must be someone in the supporting role, as if the story cannot go on without time travel or rebirth.

Of course, this may also be because the scope of novels I read is too limited.

In fact, I have never been very clear about the difference between time travel and rebirth, just like I have never been able to accurately define what my situation should be called.

Time travel?It seems that the soul has traveled to another world.But my father told me with certainty that my soul was formed little by little in my mother's womb during her pregnancy, which is the same as all other fetal development processes, and it's not a sudden mass of complete soul poured into the fetus The original soul inside was squeezed out of the shell.

"You should be called reincarnation." My brother defined it this way.

"The reincarnation who forgot to drink Mengpo soup." My sister added.

Yes, I have discussed with my three family members about my previous life. If my mother hadn't passed away too early, she should know about it.

In fact, it’s not that I didn’t want to hide it from them. After all, time travel sounds a bit intrusive, especially soul transmigration, which also takes away another person’s chance of survival, not to mention that the one who was robbed of the chance of survival is theirs. Dear son, dear brother.

But while I was still struggling, my father had already exposed this matter first.Da Neng is not a casual title, my brothers and sisters were brought up from babies by my father himself, he knows very well what a normal baby should look like, and the immature shell is filled with the same immature and blank soul, which is still fragile. But with a mature thinking soul, he can easily distinguish.

"Then why are you sure I'm not Duoshe?" I asked this question when I was still slurred.

My sister gave me a sympathetic look: "You can tell it's not Duoshe just by listening to the pronunciation."

My brother explained: "The souls that can seize the body are very strong. Although they can't completely control the body that has been seized at the beginning, it is definitely not impossible for mortals to perform basic activities. They can be stable right from birth. Walking. You have been born for almost a year, but you are struggling to speak... Forget it, I won't hit you."

"Again," my father exuded a strong self-confidence and said, "I watched you take shape bit by bit with my own eyes, and your soul has never been changed. If you can deceive my perception, even if you are in the Mahayana period, There are very few who can do it. In the Mahayana period, if you want to seize the house, you will not choose my son and Jiang Lin. The karmic involvement is beyond their ability. The most important thing is that it is impossible for the soul who can complete the house to seize the house. As weak as you."

...So the point is still that I'm too weak?

But it’s not as good as taking the house, it’s as good as not taking the lives of innocent people.
