"Yuanyou" said: "The Tao can be accepted but cannot be preached. It is small and has no inner meaning, but it is boundless."
The ultimate Tao is like a floating cloud, emptiness but with substance. The meaning of Tao is far-reaching and subtle, containing the origin of all things.
The way of change is that purity and turbidity come from the same place, and movement and stillness are opposite. Purity is the source of turbidity, and movement is the foundation of stillness. Seeking tranquility in the midst of movement will lead to true tranquility; seeking clarity in turbid places will lead to true tranquility. Don't be confused by the outside, don't be trapped in the heart, and observe the subtlety of the true nature of Taoism, then you can see the door to all the wonderful things.
According to the method of Qingming's correction, the spinning period can be divided into the respiratory tract, heart and mind tract, kidney tract, liver tract, and spleen tract in the early stage, and the Zhongchi Dao, Huangting Dao, Lingtai Dao, and Xuanyuan Dao in the later stage. Its purpose is to strengthen the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and nourish the six internal organs to build the foundation.
"Breathe the vital energy to seek immortality. The immortal master is already in front of you. The red bird spits out and shrinks from the white stone source... The three qi return to the right and the nine rays are bright. When you hold a flower, it is full. Looking from a distance, your heart is like a star... "Yan Ci was immediately dumbfounded. Every word and sentence seemed specious and completely different from Xun Yu's Wind Catching Escape Technique. It was really difficult to understand the true meaning.
I want to use the Taoist methods taught by my master to compare and understand, but I haven't absorbed the spiritual power at the moment, and I can't even open the storage ring. A villain pops up in Yan Ci's mind, pointing out which of his ancestors burned which incense stick. He finally expected Yan Ci to be accepted by Qing Ming, but who knew he was actually a man with extraordinary spiritual roots, aptitude and understanding? Poor idiot.
Yan Ci Qian donkey was so poor that he had no choice but to go to Li Yesi's practice place for advice.
Li Yedi possessed the Taoist practice of the late Xuanzhao period, but he did not dare to disrespect Yan Ci at all. Instead, he taught it carefully word for word, saying: "Xuanzhao is divided into self-refinement in the early stage and foundation building in the later stage. The Taoist cultivator straightens the body, mindfulness, and skills. Regulates the breath and concentrates the mind. Meditate quietly to temper your body and replenish the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. Introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body to cleanse the muscles and veins, and the spiritual energy transforms and liquefies into true essence that gathers in the Dantian. This is called following the body and leading the body."
Li Yedi's attitude was respectful, and his words were mostly for discussion rather than instruction, which made Yan Ci feel very useful.
When Yan Ci understood thoroughly, Li Yedi continued: "Uncle Master, I dare to give you a word of advice. In daily practice, you must be calm in body, mind, and mind. Silence of the body means that the body is not moving, and the mind and body are relaxed. Calmness of the mind means that there are no thoughts. To move, to enter the nothingness, to listen to the breath with the heart, and to unite the heart and Qi. The artistic conception is the chaotic state of not knowing that I am there. The day when the body does not move, the essence is refined, the mind does not move, the day when the spirit is refined, and the day when the mind does not move, the spirit is refined, only the essence Only when the cultivation of Qi and Shen is complete, you will be considered to have the conditions for foundation building."
The autumn night is deep. Looking through the window lattice, I can see the misty mountains in the distance. Several pavilions are as bright as candles, reflecting on the lake like dots of stars.
Yan Ci followed the method taught by Li Yedi, slowly putting aside all distracting thoughts, controlling the pores of the skin to gradually open slightly, attracting the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth into the body, guiding the fluid and liquid to adjust the yin and yang, and transferring it between the four gates and nine orifices. , comprehend the creation with one breath of heaven and earth.
After sitting quietly and meditating for a long time, I suddenly felt a ray of spiritual energy reverberating in my body. It was cool and warm, which was extremely comfortable. Yan Ci continued to get rid of distracting thoughts and maintained integrity. Only then did he feel that the spiritual energy filled the world, like the stars in the sky, and continued to move through the veins of the body.
The excitement of getting started has not dissipated yet, Yan Ci looks at the items given by the master one by one.
The spirit beast bracelet is an object with a very small space. It is full of vitality and can accommodate several spirit beasts for simple activities.
Pour a little spiritual energy into the storage ring and try to flick it out. With a popping sound, a book "Detailed Explanation of Breathing and Breathing", two porcelain bottles, two sets of green clothes and an immortal sword fell out of the ring.
"Detailed Explanation" contains rich pictures and texts, detailed explanations, and a chart of the movement of spiritual power during breathing that is clear at a glance. However, upon careful consideration, the method described by Jinpa is indeed much more subtle, and when used in conjunction with the Spirit Tempering Pill, the magic power can be greatly refined.
He grabbed a porcelain bottle with the words Spirit Marrow Pill on the bottle. This pill was a good medicine used by monks in the early days of Xuanzhao to cleanse the meridians. Compared with the Spirit Quenching Pill, its efficacy is slightly inferior.
Yan Ci tilted the bottle and poured out a fiery red elixir as small as a soybean. Before he deliberately smelled it, a fishy smell hit his nostrils. The other porcelain bottle is marked as a liquid storage bottle and is empty.
I picked up the Tsing Yi and looked at it. I saw that the style was unique, the touch was soft and comfortable, and the Tongchen logo was tattooed on the cuffs.
The various peaks and courtyards are often distinguished by clothing, but the courtyard does not impose a mandatory requirement, so the disciples still appear to be somewhat casual in their clothing.
Looking back at the fairy sword, the glow is lingering, it is absolutely extraordinary. The fairy sword is about three feet long, with a straight body and a blade as cold as frost. It is named Su Lian. Hold it tightly in your hand, and the cold sword energy is steaming like boiling water. Injecting a ray of spiritual energy and dancing wildly, several bright sword lights flew up.
After waking up the next day and washing up, Yan Ci put on his green clothes and tried out the Xunyu Catching Wind Steps a few times before thinking calmly, meditating and refining his Qi, and swallowed a Bigu Pill when he felt hungry.
After finishing the exercise, I was extremely bored and sat at the table for a while. I saw the clear stream flowing outside the building through the window, and I suddenly became interested. Li Yedi once said that the liquid storage bottle has many advantages. It can only hold half of the water. It’s a river, I’d like to give it a try.
Yan Ci asked himself if he could only inhale the wind and drink the dew. He could still endure the hunger strike, but the fishy-smelling water in the bamboo house that had not been changed for a long time made him unbearable.
Going down the stream, the water is gurgling and the vines are dense and quiet. Yan Ci came across a gourd vine by the stream and picked several green and yellow gourds. He suddenly became interested and took out the dagger he used to carry with him to dig out the flesh of the gourds.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and a girl in green clothes suddenly emerged from the dense rose. The girl was about 10 years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as white as snow, like an elegant magnolia flower in full bloom.
She was startled when she first saw Yan Ci sitting by the stream holding a dagger. When she saw clearly that there was an inconspicuous boy with hairy hair in front of her, she grabbed her waist with both hands and asked Yan Ci loudly who he was and why he was hiding in a corner so early in the morning to scare people?
Yan Ci had never seen such a fierce woman before. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. He couldn't tell who frightened whom.
The woman used her words but not her brain. She scolded her for a while before she noticed that Yan Ci was wearing the same sect's clothes, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
As the saying goes: The difficulty of things does not lie in knowing the time. This woman is good at seizing the opportunity. The flirtatious look in her expression has not disappeared, and the conversation suddenly changed: "I heard that yesterday Didicui Academy admitted a new recruit, who is very smart. The little girl has always been curious and strange, so she came here specially to joke about it. Let’s try each other. Junior brother is as wise as he is foolish. It’s true that being famous is not as good as meeting him.”
Yan Ci did not comment and said calmly: "When it comes to the ability to adapt to the situation, Yan is really stupid."
The woman understood the meaning of Yan Ci's words but pretended not to know. She also complained about Yan Ci's modesty and said, "Others regard you as a jewel, why should you be willing to be rubble?"
Yan Ci sighed secretly: Only villains and women are difficult to raise. The ancients had true knowledge and insights, and their words were quite insightful.
This woman's surname was Ye Shuang and her given name was Ying'er. It seemed that she deliberately chatted with Yan Ci for a while out of guilt.
The nightingales were scurrying all over the mountains, searching for a small beast called the pine cloud marten. This beast was as white as snow and extremely cute. It was extremely talented in finding magical herbs and elixirs in the dry fog forest.
Many monks in the Xuanzhao period worked hard to capture them, hoping to dig out some low-level herbs to exchange for star points. However, the fly in the ointment is that the aura of the Luojia Mountains is too dense. Songyun Mink will become confused when entering the mountains, and his nose will become less clear.
