After the old Taoist Wang San's master became immortal, he kept his filial piety for three years. When the filial piety was over and I was alone and bored, I decided to travel around the world. He walked and stopped. More than 800 miles southeast of Taiyi Temple, there is a large mountain called Yunjin Mountain. A year later, he wandered here. At that time, he was already in his forties, well past his forties.
By chance, Wang San found an ancient tomb halfway up the mountain. Covered by weeds, the ancient tomb has a robber hole half as tall as a man. The strange thing is that in front of the robbery cave, one behind the other, there are two withered bones, which is very scary. Next to the withered bones, there was a rotten backpack that was almost shapeless, with nothing in it. An iron shovel was abandoned aside.
The robbery cave is so big that the ancient tomb must have been empty for a long time. It was freezing cold that day, and there was no place to hide to keep out the cold, so Wang San followed the thieves' cave and entered.
After entering, I felt very warm. Looking around, it turned out that the three-foot-long blue brick tomb was empty. There is only one coffin left in the center. The lid of the coffin was abandoned on the ground.
Wang San stepped forward and took a look. There were still bones and clothes inside. To show respect, he struggled to lift the coffin lid to the top of his head. Just as he was about to close it, he discovered that there seemed to be a few lines of small words written on the inner wall of the coffin lid.
Wang San looked carefully and saw these few lines of small characters:
I am Lin Yangxian, who has emerged into Yunjin Mountain.
When I see this poem in my coffin, I will be buried on the top of the mountain.
Kowtow nine times every day, return to your true nature before your eyes.
If you don't comply, you will be punished by God when you leave the tomb.
Under the few lines of small characters, there are eight large characters, as if carved with stone. These eight characters are: "a bunch of nonsense, pretending to be a ghost." It must have been written by a tomb robber.
Wang San was frightened when he saw this poem. I thought to myself: "I'm such an unlucky person. I didn't steal the tomb, but I was implicated."
Wang San didn't dare to close the lid of the coffin. He thought for a long time and decided to follow the tomb owner's last wish to take out his bones and bury him on the top of the mountain.
After Wang San kowtowed to the coffin, he took out the clothes from the coffin. Seeing that it was very strong, he spread the clothes on the ground, took out the bones piece by piece, placed them on top of the clothes, and finally wrapped the bones with clothes. He carried the bones and clothes on his back, followed the robbery hole, and left the ancient tomb. He picked up the shovel abandoned aside and walked hard up the mountain.
When he first came out of the ancient tomb, Wang San was very scared, worried that divine punishment would happen. But after walking up a certain distance, there was nothing strange. Then he continued walking to the top of the mountain with peace of mind.
An hour later, Wang San reached the top of Qianzhang Mountain. I saw a huge boulder on the top of the mountain. In front of the boulder, there were three ancient pine trees. There is a stone monument under three dense ancient pines.
Wang San stepped forward and took a closer look. He was so scared that he sat on the ground because there were six characters engraved on the stone tablet: "The Tomb of Taoist Lin Yang".
Only then did Wang San know that the poems left by the Taoist in the tomb were actually true. So he kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the stone monument, took a shovel, and kept digging away at the back of the stone monument.
After a while, another bluestone coffin was revealed three feet below the soil. He hesitated for a moment, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, dug out all the earth and rocks on the coffin, pried open the coffin lid, and saw that the coffin was empty. There is only a square of yellow paper with four words written on it: "Bury me here." The handwriting is exactly the same as that of the ancient tomb on the mountainside.
Wang San then gently placed the bones and clothes into the bluestone coffin. The bones were arranged neatly along the human shape, and the clothes were covered on top. Then the bluestone coffin lid was put on and filled with earth and stones.
After the burial was completed, Wang San kowtowed nine times to Taoist Lin Yang in front of the stone tablet, and then went down the mountain. It was already noon and not too cold.
As Wang San walked, he thought about the poem Lin Yangxian left in the tomb: "Kowtow nine times every day, your death is before your eyes." It seems that you can't just worship once, but have to pay homage every day. Alas, this unfortunate child!
Wang San had no other choice, so he simply went down the mountain and begged for some food, a roll of mat, and a quilt. Then he climbed to Lin Yangxian's graveyard, cut some moso bamboo branches, and built a shack. So he stayed. After prostrating three times and nine times a day, I was bored, so I practiced the internal skills passed down by my master.
Over time, Wang San's inner strength actually increased greatly because he was focused on practicing all day long. In the prefecture and county where Yunjin Mountain is located, he is considered a master of martial arts.
One night, after Wang San practiced martial arts, he slept in the shack with his clothes on. In the dream, a middle-aged Taoist man in white appeared. The Taoist called himself Linyang Immortal, thanked him for picking up his bones and buried them, and paid homage to him. At this moment, the immortal has entered the realm of gods. Because he does not have a physical body, it is inconvenient to meet him in person, so he can only see him in his dreams.
Wang San was startled in his dream and woke up with a fright. Checked left and right, nothing unusual. It was hysterical to think that I would spend all my time with a solitary grave on the top of a mountain. Then he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, after sleeping soundly the next night, the Immortal in White appeared in Wang San's dream again. He also said that he would teach him how to cultivate immortality. Wang San did not wake up this time and expressed doubts in his dream about the authenticity of the Immortal in White. He said to the immortal: "You said that you are Lin Yangxian, whom I worship every day. How can I prove whether your statement is true or false?"
Immortal Lin Yang said: "This is easy to do. When you wake up the next day, you will see a piece of yellow paper inside the tent, which says: 'Here is Lin Yang'. If you see this yellow paper, are you willing to follow my example and follow the instructions of the Immortal?" Family magic? You know, when I was alive, no matter how many people asked me, I didn't give it to you. If I didn't see you picking up my bones and worshiping me every day, I would never give it to you."
When Wang Sanyi heard what Lin Yangxian said, he immediately agreed that if he woke up and saw this yellow paper, he would definitely learn magic from Lin Yangxian.
When Wang San woke up, he naturally saw yellow paper next to his pillow. This yellow paper was none other than the one he saw when he buried the coffin. On the front of the yellow paper is written: "Lin Yang is here". Turning over the back, it read: "Bury me here." Wang Sancai believed that everything in the dream was true. It seemed that Immortal Lin Yang was moved by his actions and appeared in the dream. I just don’t know why I didn’t show up in person during the day. Only later did he understand why.
On the third night, Wang San had dinner and went to bed early. While sleeping, Immortal Lin Yang appeared in the dream.
"Have you seen the yellow paper on the pillow?" Immortal Lin Yang asked with a smile.
"Master, I would like to ask my disciple Wang Sanyi to pay my respects." Wang San answered Immortal Lin Yang's question with his actions.
"Very good, very good!" Immortal Lin Yang was very pleased.
When Immortal Lin Yang was alive, he was also in the realm of Taixuan. Unfortunately, no matter how much he practices, he cannot physically become a saint and advance to the realm of earthly immortals.
In addition, he mastered a strange art of evading armor, and even if he died, he would not be able to become an immortal in the physical body. Then he planned to use the method of dismembering the corpse, so that the Yang God would leave the body and enter the realm of ghosts and immortals. However, there is no Yang God in the Taixuan Realm, so the Yin God can only continue to practice after death.
He also calculated that no matter where his tomb was in the future, someone would dig it up once. Before his death, he arranged two tombs. There is a real tomb, halfway up the mountain. He was lying in the coffin before death. After death, the Yin spirit continued to practice in the coffin. A fake grave on top of a mountain. He had set up formations on both tombs.
A poem was left on the coffin. If the gravedigger follows his instructions, then his remains will be buried at the top of the mountain. In the fake grave at the top of the mountain, he will set up a formation before his death, and the Yin God will follow the remains. , he can continue to speed up his cultivation.
If the gravedigger did not follow his instructions to collect the remains, the gravedigger would bleed to death when he left the cemetery. If the gravedigger dies outside the tomb, it will frighten subsequent tomb robbers or people who enter by mistake. And he could only continue to practice in this tomb after the coffin was opened. The feng shui was destroyed, and his progress was greatly reduced. But there is no way. As long as you can survive in this world.
He did not expect that this person who entered by mistake later would actually comply with his last wish and bury his remains in a fake grave on the top of the mountain. In fact, this is the real grave in his mind.
He didn't even expect that this person who entered by mistake would actually kowtow three times and pray nine times every day. Lasted for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. This is comparable to burning incense and worshiping Buddha with various purposes in temples, and the aroma of incense brought to his Yin God is much richer.
Therefore, after his death, after hundreds of years of training in the tomb on the mountainside, decades of training after the tomb was robbed, and eighty-one days of being worshiped on the top of the mountain, he finally became a yin god and became a yang god, and was promoted to the ghost immortal yang god. realm. Immortals in the realm of ghosts and immortals have no physical body. Although it can manifest in front of mortals, it will consume a lot of energy. Entering the country to entrust your dreams is the best way. If you want to reshape your physical body, you need to practice to the realm of Yang God and Heavenly Immortal.
Lin Yangxian felt that the reason why he was able to advance to the realm of Yangshen and Earthly Immortals so quickly had a lot to do with this bone picker. Decided to give him a good fortune and take on a disciple. After all, he has been practicing Taoism all his life and has no disciples. It can also be regarded as passing down one's own orthodoxy.
Immortal Lin Yang helped Wang San up and told Wang San all about his past. Only then did Wang San understand this confusing matter. Otherwise, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't figure out why there were two graves.
Immediately, Immortal Lin Yang taught Wang San a method of moving Qi, and asked Wang San to continue living next to the tomb on the top of the mountain, practicing day and night. After all, the black and yellow energy of heaven and earth here is very rich. Another person who understands the mysterious, yellow and qi of heaven and earth!
From then on, Wang San practiced during the day and learned the Tao in his dreams at night. In the beginning, Lin Yangxian would appear in Wang San's dreams every night. Three months later, Lin Yangxian saw that Wang San was already familiar with the qi movement method and only needed to practice hard. He told him that he would appear in his dreams when needed.
Wang San practiced like this day and night, and after ten years, he was able to leap more than thirty feet in height and fly forward a hundred feet in one go. In Jiangzhou County, there is an old monster who is already a top master.
Winter comes and summer comes, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye. Wang San was indeed a man of firm will. During the twenty years after he became a disciple, he practiced day and night, fearing no hardships, and practiced diligently. Finally, twenty years later, Ke Yu could fly eighty or ninety feet into the sky and float several miles away, reaching the opportunity to break through the realm of Taixuan.
That night, Lin Yangxian appeared in his dream again. Lin Yangxian has rarely appeared in recent years. Only at critical moments, he will guide Wang San.
Lin Yangxian said to Wang San: "My dear disciple, you have really never let me down. It is really rare for me to be able to reach your realm in the mortal world. There is almost no hope for the realm of a real person in the mortal world."
"When I was in the realm of the real person, I once came across an ancient book on alchemy. So I searched all over the world for exotic flowers and herbs. After searching hard for decades, I made my own alchemy furnace. I wanted to open the furnace to make elixirs, but I failed every time I tried. After eight defeats, , the ninth time it turned into several pills."
"I was overjoyed and took the elixir to practice, but the elixir was useless in the realm of immortality. Disappointed, I sealed the remaining xuan elixir with wax and hid it in the ancestor's hall of my sect, where the ancestor's clay sculpture After the golden body.”
"This elixir was originally intended to be reserved for the disciples of the sect who have achieved success in cultivating the Tao. However, over the past few hundred years, I have often returned to the sect in the dark nights to check something out. There is still no disciple in the sect who is close to the realm of a real person. .”
