At night, midnight has not yet arrived.
At the top of Damian Mountain, Chen Yun was sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed in a Taoist temple, reading "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary".
"Laozi Xianger Zhu" is an annotation of Laozi's "Tao Te Ching", which is a great method of cultivation. Because it contains profound philosophy, it is also regarded as a philosophical book by later generations.
"In modern society, "Laozi Xiang'er Zhu" has long been lost. It is not recorded in "Sui Shu. Jing Ji Zhi" and the new and old "Tang Shu". It has also been confiscated in "Tao Zang".
Chen Yun recalled the information from his previous life, "Among the ancient classics discovered in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang in the late Qing Dynasty, there is a fragment of "Laozi's Taoist Classics Xiang'er Commentary", with a total of 580 lines. The comments are written consecutively with the scriptures, regardless of the size of the font, and the chapter The chapters are not divided into different chapters, and each chapter does not start a new line. According to research, it is a manuscript from the Six Dynasties. This fragment was stolen in 1905 and was later collected in the British Museum."
Chen Yun did not expect that he would be lucky enough to see Zhang Daoling's original "I Think About You", and he was naturally extremely happy.
He opened the book.
A general outline appears on the home page: Follow the Taoist commandments, accumulate success, accumulate energy to become a god, and become a god and immortal, take this as a treasure.
There is also a sub-outline below: The essence is bound to become a god. If you want to make the god immortal, you should bind the essence to protect yourself.
Chen Yun took a look and said thoughtfully, "No wonder Zhao Gongming realized that he had accumulated energy and become a god, and he turned out to be continuing Zhang Tianshi's great method."
He continued to flip through the books, still reciting softly, "Then the people will not fight or steal. 'If you don't see something you desire, your mind will not be disturbed.' If you don't want to look at it, if you don't see it, don't make your heart move. If you do, you will warn yourself, That is to say, when the Tao is gone and returned, the mind is confused and the Tao is gone. "The sage governs, spiritualizes the heart, and strengthens the abdomen." The heart is the rule, and there are good and bad luck, good and evil in it. The abdomen is the Tao bag, and the Qi is always desired. Really. If the heart is evil, the bag will be empty if it is empty. If it is empty, it will harm people..."
This article seems to be philosophy, but it actually contains the principles of cultivation.
For example, "weakening one's will and strengthening one's bones" means good and evil will follow the will, and Qi will follow the abdomen, strong will will lead to evil, Qi will remove the bones and dry up, and weak will will lead to fullness of Qi in the marrow.
This sentence actually describes the art of cultivation, using "ambition" to explain the method of cultivation. When Qi returns, the bone marrow will be filled.
Chen Yun understood a little bit at the first glance, "The beginning of the chapter explains the wonderful method of accumulating and refining the body. The summary is that Qi returns to the body and fills the bone marrow, making the bones strong and the body strong."
Of course, because this is the Dharma, if you want to obtain the "skill" of cultivation, you still need to understand it carefully.
Because you understand the "principle", it is easier to understand the technique.
Chen Yun did not expect that the short line of remarks at the beginning of the article turned out to be the cultivation method. Zhang Tianshi's Taoism was profound.
He read on with fascination.
Soon, Chen Yun will read the entire article.
Although he didn't understand many parts, he could vaguely conclude that there were three ways to achieve immortality in "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary".
They are observing the commandments, refining the body, and eating Qi.
By cultivating in every way to the highest and deepest level, one can become an immortal.
After reading it, he couldn't help but marvel, "This Dafa chapter also contains many small methods, such as changes, fortune, etc. Especially this fortune is the power of heaven and earth, which can make the magic play out exponentially." Great power."
At this moment, Chen Yun finally understood why his mentor made him understand the truth of fortune.
When ordinary people use spells, they usually use their own power to transform natural forces of a certain power, such as fire, water flow, thunder, etc.
Fortune is a little different. It pays more attention to the combination with nature.
First of all, one must sense the existence of all "elements" in nature, and then activate these elements to exert endless power.
"If I sense the water 'element', then in the sea, I can exert power that is several times or even dozens of times greater than my own strength."
Chen Yun continued to study and pondered secretly: "For another example, if I use the sky thunder to trigger high-altitude thunder under the thunder clouds, the power of the thunder method will be particularly terrifying."
Why is this so?
Because this is relying on the momentum of heaven and earth!
It has to be said that luck is extremely powerful.
The most important thing is that the great fortune is just a small part of it.
One can imagine how one's own strength will skyrocket if one can understand the entire "Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu".
"The Fang Zhongshu in this book "Lao Zi Xiang Er Zhu" is also very subtle. If someone with evil intentions gets this book, he may realize some extremely evil collecting techniques." Chen Yun thought to himself, "If I am a Taoist master, People will definitely understand techniques that are beneficial to both parties. Men and women represent yin and yang. To a certain extent, dual cultivation can not only complement each other, but also make the cultivation speed faster."
This is very different from inner alchemy.
What the inner alchemy emphasizes is that the couple gradually conspires to nurture the holy fetus in the body.
After reading "Xiang Er Zhu" for a while, Chen Yun felt that he had gained something. Although he had not yet understood the technique, it was not that easy to figure out, but it was very helpful to his practice. To a certain extent, he could perfect his inner alchemy technique. .
Chen Yun looked at the sky outside and found that it was almost midnight.
"It's time to practice."
Store books in storage rings.
The power of the medicine in his body had not yet been born, so Chen Yun took the opportunity to think about other things, "The Taoist temple in this cave is the Taoist temple that my mentor asked Master Zhang for for me. If one day I can attain Taoism and become an immortal, I don't need to find another Taoist temple like other people. Just practice here.”
Having your own dojo is a joyful thing for any practitioner.
A good Feng Shui treasure land is more helpful for practitioners to practice.
A place like the Cave Mansion on the top of Da Mian Mountain not only has extremely beautiful scenery, but also contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can make people practice spiritually with half the effort.
Just as I was thinking about it, the power of medicine was born.
Chen Yun quickly got rid of all distracting thoughts and calmly felt the power of the medicine. Although this was not his own practice, if he could feel it carefully, it would be the same as his own practice, and he could still increase his "proficiency".
After the medicinal power enters the spleen, it turns into a large amount of essence.
The essence is divided into two strands, which are born from the left and right Taiyang Meridians, and then go all the way to the roots of the big teeth, penetrate the temples, and enter the Niwan Palace.
Immediately, the Qi reaches the Ni Wan Palace and flows into the back of the head. It then gradually goes down the twelve rings of the Chonglou, passes through the Jiaji Ridge, and goes up to the tail gate to enter the heart and gallbladder.
Immediately, Chen Yun's mouth was slightly bitter, and his mouth was full of gold and jade liquid, which turned into nectar.
After swallowing, he felt warm in his chest.
This is a sign of the decline of true Qi.
When the true energy descended, Chen Yun gradually felt that his body was enlarged and his energy was soaring. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers were all in his body. He had a feeling of standing on top of the sky and the feeling that his limbs were unaware of their whereabouts.
At the same time, the unknown "god" inside the body briefly left the body again.
The next second, the "god" returned to the body.
As usual, Chen Yun "saw" a bright light in his heart, which suddenly fell like this.
A huge amount of true energy hovered for a moment, dormant in the Dantian.
"Looking at my accumulation of true energy, I am getting closer to the mid-seventh level. I might be able to reach it today."
The distracting thoughts passed away in a flash, and he once again immersed himself in practice.
A little Sunday.
Three little weeks.
Gradually an hour passed, and the nine small weeks were completed.
Chen Yun did not open his eyes immediately, but gathered his energy. When his feelings returned to his four bodies and his limbs returned to their original state, he slowly opened his eyes.
He checked his true energy level and found that it had increased a lot.
Because the true energy of a lower-level mage does not change qualitatively, it is impossible to directly determine whether he has reached the middle stage of a seventh-grade mage.
Chen Yun turned on the Qi Observation Technique to check the level of his aura. When he saw the aura becoming more and more intense, he knew that he had entered the middle stage of the seventh-level mage.
"Unknowingly, I have reached the middle stage of the seventh-grade mage."
He couldn't help being happy, but at the same time he felt a little emotional in his heart.
Increasing the amount of true energy can not only enhance one's own combat power, but more importantly, the more true energy, the longer one's life span will be.
For example, after refining the golden elixir, the physical lifespan can reach 10,800 years.
Of course, it is impossible to have so much longevity without refining the golden elixir.
As far as Chen Yun knows, a low-level mage who practices inner alchemy can easily live to be one or two hundred years old, and basically will not exceed three hundred years old. A middle-level mage can live for five hundred years, and a high-level mage can even live longer. It is easy to live for seven or eight hundred years. A high-level master can live up to a thousand years. It is hard to say the level of the leader. It is said that he can live for at least three thousand years, and even more for four or five thousand years.
"Ordinary people who have refined the true energy, even if they have not reached the level of a low-level mage, can easily live for a hundred years. The inner elixir is worth cultivating for both life and death."
He thought for a moment.
Immediately, I cut the ginseng and made tea.
"The hundred-year-old ginseng is almost gone. I'll go back and find another one."
While drinking the soup, Chen Yun thought to himself that his century-old ginseng root was a gift from his mentor. Although he only cut a small piece each time, after a few months of refining the qi, he was almost finished.
"Let's talk about ginseng slowly. Get some rest early tonight. When I get up tomorrow morning, my mentor will teach me fighting skills. I need to be energetic and study hard."
Thinking about it, Chen Yun fell asleep peacefully.
…
The next day, Yin hour.
Chen Yun got up early.
In the open space outside the east wing, Zhong Liquan uncharacteristically did not hold a fan, and looked at his apprentice solemnly, "My master is going to teach you a fighting technique called Dragon Slaying Technique today. This fighting technique can be practiced to a high and deep level, and the physical body can be Fighting a real dragon is an extremely powerful fighting technique."
Can you practice to such a high level that you can fight a real dragon with your physical body?
Chen Yun was moved when he heard this. He bowed and saluted and said, "Thank you, master, for teaching me this technique."
Zhong Liquan nodded slightly and continued to introduce: "My dragon-slaying technique covers everything from unarmed fighting to weapon use, Taoism, astrology, environment, etc., all can be integrated into this technique. If the body is strong enough, after completion, , the physical body can shake the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, everything in the world is indestructible, and it is especially important for luck. Today, I will teach you the first stage of 'seeking nature within nature'."
Chen Yun asked for advice: "What is the pursuit of nature within nature?"
Zhong Liquan explained: "Through the two methods of internal training and external training, I train my eyes, ears, body and other enemy-responsive abilities, so that I can sense the enemy's power before it appears. Among them, the internal training method was created by me in my early years. The Twelve-Duan Jin Sitting Technique, while the external training is the technique of fierce fighting."
The so-called fierce fighting method is not the fierce fighting method of Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West".
Zhu Bajie's fierce fighting method is Fangzhongshu, which belongs to the method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang.
For example, why Sister Egg died was because she was sucked dry by Zhu Bajie.
The art of fierce fighting mentioned by Zhong Liquan refers to the method of actual combat.
Fierce battle means: to fight fiercely with someone, to fight hard with all one's strength.
Chen Yun naturally understood what his teacher meant and said, "Please give me some advice."
"I will teach you the Twelve-Duan Jin Sitting Technique first." Zhong Liquan put his hands behind his back, "Sit in meditation with your eyes closed, hold your hands firmly and meditate. Knock your teeth for thirty-six, hold Kunlun with both hands...I want to get angry and burn my body. Jin Twelve sections of blocks, walking forward in the afternoon. If you work diligently without interruption, all diseases will turn into dust."
After saying that, he paused and said, "This is also an inner alchemy technique. Ordinary people can use it to practice inner alchemy. However, you have already cultivated your true energy. You only need to follow this technique and it will make your true energy penetrate through. The whole body is made so that no feathers can be added, no flies can fall, all 36,500 pores in the body are filled with true Qi, the mountains and mountains on the backing will collapse, and the ground will crack when stamped upon."
Chen Yun tried according to the formula.
He first sat cross-legged on the flat ground, gently closed his eyes, licked the roof of his mouth, got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, and adjusted his breathing for a moment.
After doing all this, Chen Yun tapped his teeth thirty-six times, crossed his fingers with both hands, hugged the back of his head, and breathed nine times. His breath was slight but noisy.
Because he had already cultivated Zhen Qi, it was easier to run the Twelve Duan Jin.
Soon, Chen Yun reached the end of Twelve Duanjin.
He felt that there seemed to be a ball of hot air in the Dantian under his navel. He guided this hot air downwards, rushed through the perineum point, passed the Tailu point, and went up along the back to the Mingmen point on the waist, then to the back, back of the head, and the center of the head, and then along the two sides. From the temples, in front of the ears, through the cheeks, down to the throat and heart, then down to Shenque, where it returns to the lower Dantian.
Chen Yuncun imagined that this ball of hot air was like a fire burning his body. Wherever it traveled and where it was heated, he inhaled and exhaled. He imagined that the hot air moved from the front to the back, rose to the top of his head, and then descended along the Ren channel, completing a cycle.
During the exercise, he felt that his whole body was filled with true Qi, as if his whole person had become an "energy body."
At the right moment, Zhong Liquan's voice sounded, "Keep this posture, get up and practice fighting skills with me."
Chen Yun opened his eyes, stood up, and tried his best to maintain his energy throughout his body.
While Zhong Liquan was practicing his boxing skills, he introduced: "This externally practiced fighting technique is based on the 'Divine Tiger Technique' created by the martial sage Jiang Ziya. In the beginning, it needs to be practiced according to the rules, such as using the physical body and the power of the true energy. There are five types: straight, horizontal, vertical, oblique, and spiral. From the perspective of the release of power, there are also five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The metal is invincible and has a powerful force."
After saying that, he punched out, and Jin Ge's Qi burst out from his fist. It instantly spurted out and hit the rock, and Jin Ge's Qi was absorbed into it.
The appearance of the rock is intact.
However, Chen Yun used his spiritual consciousness to detect that the inside of the rock had been shattered!
Zhong Liquan waved his fist again, "This is the power of water. It is soft and gentle at first, but then it is like a huge wave in the sea, with each wave higher than the other."
As he spoke, water burst out from his fist, and wave after wave of terrifying power swept towards the sky.
Chen Yun watched helplessly as the floating clouds in the sky were shaken away with great force!
Viewing this scene, I was greatly shocked.
This is just the external fighting technique practiced at the beginning of the Dragon Slaying Technique.
If you practice to a high and deep level, I am afraid that as your teacher said, your physical body can shake the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, and become indestructible in the true sense!
Seeing how ferocious the dragon-slaying technique was, Chen Yun became extremely serious and continued to learn it from his mentor.
He believed that one day he would be able to master this dragon-slaying technique, and there would be few people in the world who could fight with his body, and he would even be able to truly fight a real dragon!
