"Potati is sweet and flat in taste. It is mainly used to nourish the middle and replenish qi, remove rheumatism and calm the five internal organs. It is a common medicine. It takes ten years to conceive the spirit. If you take it for a long time, you can lighten your body and prolong your life without hunger. After a hundred years, it can be said to be the best medicine for Wuji." It is an elixir for deflating qi and replenishing the Yellow Palace. All evils will go away after being consumed, and all diseases will not occur. For thousands of years, it belongs to the Zhicao family and can extract the essence of the earth. It can be called Wujizhi. Taking it can regulate the five internal organs. , the muscles are full, the bone marrow is strong, the strength is doubled, the body is not old for many years, the whitening becomes darker, the teeth fall out again..."
Chu Tai first read a paragraph and asked: "May I ask, sir, how to determine the age of Huang Jing?"
Taoist Fu Guang took a look and said with a smile: "The so-called hundreds and thousands of years in the book refer to how many years the medicinal materials have been 'practiced' like monks like us, not how long they have actually survived."
"Therefore, in the record of Polygonatum in the "Zhicao Jing", the first sentence is "mundane medicine", followed closely by "it takes ten years to conceive spirituality." This sentence is actually wrong today. As the two days collide, The spiritual power between heaven and earth is much more active than in the past, and many Polygonatum japonicas that have grown for more than five years in the mountains will also develop spirituality and turn into elixirs."
Chu Tai heard this and said again: "So, the so-called cold iron for thousands of years and the hot copper for thousands of years also refer to the result of these materials being affected by special vitality and spiritual intelligence in a specific environment? It has nothing to do with the time of their existence. ?”
"Most of them are like this, but gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals, even if they have no spirituality, most of these minerals have experienced tens of thousands of years. Over a long period of time, they have gained some ideas and concepts, and after a little purification, they can be used as weapon refiners. Materials, which is why practitioners like us can extract the essence of hardware from them."
After listening to Taoist Fuguang's explanation, Chu Tai pointed to a passage in the "Zhicao Jing" and asked: "Sir, in this passage, nine steamings and nine exposures can double the medicinal properties of Polygonatum japonica. If Polygonatum odorifera is prepared properly, it can be eaten after a hundred years." It can stay in the face and break the grain, and replenish all kinds of deficiencies; if the thousand-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum is prepared properly, eating it can relieve cold and heat, and fill the essence. If you eat it for a long time, you can become an immortal. Is it true that if you eat it for a long time, you can become an immortal?"
"Of course it's true."
Taoist Fuguang looked at Chu Tai's surprised expression, then smiled and said with some pride: "Don't think it's difficult to become an immortal. The name of the sky where we are is called Dongji Chenguang Sky, and the land under our feet is China. It's It was conceived in the chaos when the Great Luo Heavenly Light broke through in the past. Later, various immortal and true saints came to the world and established the laws of heaven and earth, human ethics and laws. From the long past to the present, the entire earth has been illuminated by the Great Luo Heavenly Light."
"Compared with the many rigid requirements for monks on other lands or in the stars who want to become immortals and ascend, as long as we devote ourselves to practice, we can hope to ascend to heaven with the help of Daluo Tianguang. Therefore, there are many ways to become immortals, and there is no way to reach the threshold of ascension. The achievements are countless.”
"How easy is it?"
Taoist Fu Guang reached out and took out a volume of "The Biography of Immortals" from the side. After letting Chu Tai read it briefly, he began to give a brief introduction.
"Between today and earth, when you enter the Tao, you can draw talismans to sense inspiration, practice Dharma and exhale your vitality, you can also sit and forget, visualize, eat and drink, listen to your breath, live without food, guard one, stay in the room, etc., but according to the method of becoming an immortal, carefully Divided from top to bottom, it can be roughly divided into five ways to become an immortal: Heaven, God, Earth, San, and Ghost."
"Among them, the Celestial Immortals are the highest and the most difficult to attain. Even the lowest level of Celestial Immortals requires the cultivator to achieve spiritual attainment, conceive a baby, and then follow the orders of the Heavenly Talisman to enter the seventy-two mansions and become Heavenly Officials. Today, there are many successful practitioners. The monks from the side sect work day and night to accumulate good deeds just for that heavenly talisman summoning order."
"Below the gods are gods. The lower merits of this method are the most widely spread today. Simply put, it is a word of faith and a word of practice. If there are good men and women who believe in it, they will offer incense lamps to all Taoist kings, true kings, Immortal truth, seeing the light of the world, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, can enter into inaction, and receive blessings naturally. If you can fast for a long time, recite spiritual chapters, you can access the spirit a thousand times, and you can access the truth thousands of times, generate water and fire in the body, fly up to heaven, and obtain Enjoy the Immortal Industry. I ask you to recite the Mind-Purifying Mantra and the Body-Purifying Mantra more often. The method of stabilizing the Three Treasures can also be classified under this category."
"Below the gods are the earth immortals. The so-called earth immortals are mountain people. The method of this Tao needs to be practiced on the earth, either by planting spiritual roots, opening a spiritual pool, or condensing the spirit realm. In essence, they are all connected with the same place, and they can achieve immortality and obtain immortality. Magical power. But success comes from the land and failure comes from the land. If the way of the Earth Immortal cannot be truly transmitted, it will be trapped in one place and cannot be free. Today, many side sect monks who are stuck in one place have mostly taken this path."
"Below the Earth Immortal are Sanxian, and here San is Sanshu, which corresponds to the authentic sect of Xuanmen, Zhenliu inheritance, and does not refer to others. Most of their inferior merits are cultivators who do not understand the Dao. Obtain a method, obtain a skill in the method, have faith and determination, and never waver for the whole life, or work hard to have five qi in the chest, misunderstandings, misunderstandings, the form and quality are solid, and the eight evil epidemics cannot harm; or specialize in one of the five elements, refine to the It is pure and pure, can change according to the heart, combines the three treasures internally, and displays magical powers externally. It is called an immortal, but in fact it is almost an elf."
Having said this, Taoist Fuguang paused, pointed to the "Zhicao Jing" and said: "The method of becoming an immortal recorded in this book is the result of the lower body of the Sanxian. It relies on the method of eating and drinking to stabilize the body. Extending life, using this method to become an immortal, with a little magical power, you can live happily for hundreds of years, but if you don't continue to practice hard, your life will eventually end. If you accumulate virtue and do good, or further stabilize and purify your body, you are expected to live in Daluo Under the influence of the sky’s light, he ascended to heaven.”
Hearing this, Chu Tai was surprised and said: "What do you mean, sir, as long as all living beings live long enough, they can become immortals through the light of Da Luo?"
When he said this, Chu Tai originally thought that Taoist Fuguang would say that this was just an exaggeration, but he unexpectedly nodded.
"Theoretically, it's feasible, but now we are waiting for the East Jichenguang Great Sky to expand day by day. The world is getting wider and wider, and the Daluo Skylight scattered between the sky and the earth is getting scarcer. We want to rely entirely on time, feel the skylight between the sky and the earth, and baptize ourselves. , it is already very difficult to become an immortal."
"As far as I know, the only one in the world that can do this stably is the Kunlun Mountain. It is said that the Kunlun Mountain is connected to the Great Luo Tianguang, and there are tens of thousands of weak water below. As long as you go up the Kunlun Mountainside and pass through the Liangfeng Mountain Stream, you will be exposed to the cold wind. The vitality of the sky is washed away, and you can live a long life. If you continue up to the hanging garden, you can master the magical power and drive the wind and rain. If you go up further, you can go straight to the Great Luotian and enjoy the immortality."
After saying that, Taoist Fu Guang explained to Chu Tai the last method of becoming an immortal.
"Ghost Immortal is the lowest method among the five ways to become an immortal. Most of its inferior achievements are those who practice it. They do not understand the great way and want to achieve it quickly. They can only practice a strong Yin spirit. When the Qi is exhausted, the Yin spirit will When gods appear, they are called ghosts and immortals.”
"Can this be called an immortal?"
Chu Tai was shocked, and Taoist Fuguang continued to explain.
"Of course not three thousand five hundred years ago. At that time, these ghosts and immortals were nothing more than pure spirit ghosts to those of us who practiced immortality. Even someone like me who had some achievements could easily suppress them."
"It's just that after a spirit has realized the merits of these ghosts and immortals, he devotes himself to practice, uses people to cast spells, does good deeds, and accumulates virtues. He absorbs the wonderful energy of human beings, cleanses the Yin spirit, achieves the glazed Dharma body, and absorbs the light of the great heaven. After being conferred with immortality, entering the Heavenly Mansion, and opening the way for future generations, these achievements will become the lowest level of karma that can be achieved in the immortal way."
Chu Tai frowned: "So, the reason why we and the heavens divide the merits of immortality are to see if anyone can become an immortal through this method?"
