In the bamboo forest in the backyard of Mingyuan, there is a faint scent of incense floating around in the cool hall. The melodious and melodious sound of the piano is graceful, continuous and exciting; the beating notes are playing a relaxed and lively atmosphere.
Master Jiang, who was sitting next to him, was drinking tea while watching Jiang Xiaoning play the lyre freely, stroking his white beard, nodding frequently, secretly laughing.
In the study room of the Yi family, Yi Yuan held a copy of "Tao Zang" and read it with gusto. This is a book written by an unknown person, describing some experiences and realms of Taoist health preservation.
"Opening yin, sensing yang, and distributing vitality are the means of pregnancy, neutralization, and human beings." In other words, the heaven and earth generate yin and yang, and the intersection of yin and yang produces all things. The foundation of health care should be to refine and nourish vitality. Therefore, in the process of spiritual practice, whether it is meditating to guide the flow of qi or taking medicinal pills, the purpose is to refine qi and nourish the mind, so that the body's vitality will be enriched, the spirit will be strong, and ultimately, health and longevity will be achieved, and immortality will be achieved.
Therefore, human beings are born with the vital energy of heaven and earth, and become gods and forms; they receive the energy of Yuanyi and become liquid and essence. If the weather energy is depleted, the spirit will be dispersed; if the earth energy is depleted, the body will be sick; if the vital energy is depleted, the life will be exhausted. Therefore, refining and nourishing the vital energy, flowing through hundreds of meridians, replenishes the Niwan Palace at the top, and the sea of vitality at the bottom. If the brain is actually complete, the spirit will be complete, if the spirit is complete, the qi will be complete, if the qi is complete, the body will be complete, if the body is complete, the hundreds of organs will be adjusted internally, and the eight evils will be eliminated externally. In fact, the marrow is condensed into bones, and the intestines are transformed into tendons. It is composed of pure essence, and the soul and energy are not separated from the body, so it can live forever.
Human beings are like heaven and earth. The four seasons, five elements, six unions, and eight directions follow each other. They rise and fall, and there is no solution. Therefore, we should be prepared to save the source of good and bad luck, never forget danger when we are safe, never forget death when we are alive, and never forget chaos when we are in order, so that we can survive for a long time.
The health-preserving and qi-guiding practice proposed in the book is based on seasons, months, and hours. It has certain innovations, but it is of little use to Yi Yuan because the Five Elements of Gods and Demons Sutra he practices is running all the time. Despite this, he was still in the early stage of refining Qi in the past two years. In addition to entering the sea of vitality, most of the refined spiritual energy circulated through the hundreds of meridians and nourished the muscles and bones. Yi Yuan felt that his body was stronger than his grandfather's body in the innate stage. The more you fight, the more you can resist beatings. His height also increased dramatically, and he was now half a head taller than Jiang Xiaoning, which made Xiao Ning'er very angry.
"The way to observe the sky is to follow the movement of the sky. Then we use the advancement and retreat of the heavenly symbols, the flexion and extension of the yin and yang, to set it as the fire, and the Dharma image is shown to people. The sky and the earth are like cauldrons, and the sun and the moon are medicine. The sun and the moon move between the heaven and the earth, going back and forth. Appearance and emergence are the conditions of fire. If a person can understand this and seek the various bodies, he can understand the wonders of the advance and retreat of fire." It means that the structure of human body organs is similar to the structure of the universe, and through the symbol system of yin and yang, five elements, eight trigrams and other symbols , cleverly combining the structure of heaven and man in an isomorphic system. The universe is an enlarged human body, and the human body is a shrunken universe.
At the same time, "Tao Zang" clearly points out that the core idea of health preservation is based on "the unity of heaven and man". It compares the heaven and earth to a big cauldron, in which the sun and the moon move; the human body is like a small cauldron, with the essence flowing up and down. Only then can you live an infinite life. Yi Yuan thought silently, how can we achieve the state of unity between nature and man? What does "harmony between man and nature" represent? It has attracted countless people to dream about it.
At this moment, Yi Yuan suddenly remembered what his father had said: "When your grandfather was young, he was able to enter the innate realm early because your grandfather had a simple mind at that time, with a clear distinction between good and evil. He was full of love and yearning for life, but he always believed in one thing. Belief: Healing diseases and saving lives, never slacking off, never complaining, this may be the principle of his life, so he briefly entered the realm of "harmony between man and nature" at that time. Although the time was extremely short, his martial arts progress was very fast, early Entering the Xiantian Realm, now the Peak Xiantian Realm is the pinnacle of martial arts, and it is almost impossible to enter the realm; your teacher entered the Xiantian Realm because of family changes, and he was depressed for a long time, and he could not let go. Once Inadvertently talking about the past, your teacher suddenly realized that life returned to its previous state, and his heart suddenly became peaceful. He suddenly entered the realm of "harmony between man and nature", thus breaking through the realm of innateness. This should be regarded as extreme love for thoughts. , being extremely passionate about the scenery and being extremely devoted to the Tao, thus being released in an instant, and then entering the realm of unity between man and nature, achieving the goal of promotion in kung fu."
Yi Yuan thought carefully and realized it quietly. The snow in the sky is flying and falling, and the large snowflakes are whistling in the cold wind and falling into the world, releasing the winter mood to their heart's content.
Yi Zheng, accompanied by Yi Wei and Lu Yunqing, sat in the main hall, and the flames in the basin continued to release bursts of warmth. Lu Yunqing suddenly felt something, took out the sword hanging on the wall, and appeared in the yard in a flash.
A set of beautiful swordsmanship, dancing and flying lightly, making people even more nostalgic and obsessed with it under the peerless beauty; each move pulls the snow elves in the air, cheering, surrounding the body, circling up and down, left and right . Lu Yunqing's internal strength cultivation had already been accumulated enough. At this moment, he was lost in the world and seemed to be integrated into it, forgetting what he was doing.
Is it the sword dancing that is as agile as snowflakes, or is it the snowflakes pulling the swords flying and cheering, which means that there are patches of emptiness in the dark. Lu Yunqing felt as if he was merging between heaven and earth, like pieces of snow elves, floating and flying around...
Yi Yuan, who was thinking in the study, woke up with a start. He felt that his mother's figure in the yard was moving like an elf in the heavy snow, blending indistinguishably with the surrounding snowflakes.
The whole person suddenly felt something. He immediately crossed his knees and clasped his hands, his eyes lightly closed, and his whole body was connected with the aura of heaven and earth, and the Five Elements of Gods and Demons were running rapidly. For a moment, I just felt like a snow elf, floating around, and my body and mind became ethereal. In the void, spiritual energy gathered like a surge and entered the body, constantly refining the body, muscles, bones and meridians. The cultivation level that had previously stayed at the early stage of Qi refining was now rising steadily, and soon it entered the middle stage of Qi refining. The whole body becomes stronger and the spirit becomes fuller and fuller. This moment of practice makes people endlessly memorable and intoxicating...
Yi Zheng, who was sitting in the hall, was a little dumbfounded at this moment. Madam Lu Yunqing here has just triggered the realm of "unity of heaven and man" and entered the innate realm. Immediately afterwards, his son Yi Yuan in the study also entered the realm of "harmony between man and nature", making himself envious.
Yi Zheng hurriedly gathered his spiritual thoughts and slowly integrated into it, realizing the rare ethereal state. The somewhat shrunken spiritual thoughts greedily absorbed some inexplicable substances, and gradually solidified, and seemed to have improved slightly. .
Lu Yunqing was in a very happy mood at the moment, finally entering the innate realm he had been waiting for. The waving long sword emits invisible sword energy about a foot long, turning solid rocks into powder wherever it touches. The body becomes lighter and more elegant, agile and agile, the inner breath is even richer, and the skill is improved several times compared to before.
When Yi Zheng came back to his senses, he felt very happy in his heart as he looked at the lady who was becoming more and more beautiful and graceful. I have gained a lot of benefits this time, my spiritual thoughts have become more solidified, and I have more pursuits for my future life.
Yi Zheng was a little fascinated, and he couldn't help but touch some gray hair with his right hand. He woke up in vain and smiled bitterly to himself.
He felt increasingly unworthy of the alluring sister Lu Yunqing, and sighed.
