Danding Villa.
The architectural style of Danding Courtyard is very different from other courtyards. It is extremely simple. The ground in the courtyard is paved with white marble. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a huge copper cauldron more than three feet high. On the front of the cauldron is engraved " There are two ancient seal characters "Yongxian" and "Eternal Life" engraved on the back. The format of the cauldron is simple and elegant, and it is full of atmosphere.
Everyone watched in front of the big cauldron for a long time and were filled with admiration.
"I heard that the masters of the Alchemy Cauldron lineage have been pursuing the art of immortality," Song Kan said while looking at the cauldron.
"Immortal?" Miao Zhuang asked curiously, "Who can live forever since ancient times?".
"I'll be content if I can live to be ten thousand years old. I don't need to live forever," Wei Changji said, looking at the two characters "Eternal Immortal" with flying phoenixes.
"Even if you live ten thousand years, if you are nine thousand years old, do you think you are in a hurry?" Song Kan joked.
"You're only nine thousand years old?" Wei Changji said, not taking any advantage. "But having said that, if you are really nine thousand years old, you will probably be worried. Who wants to die, right? But I don't think I can live longer than a thousand years old." ".
"I heard that to make alchemy, you must know the Water and Fire Art."
"Nonsense, fire and water skills are necessary"
"I heard that Fuyaozi is only half a step away from the 'Alchemy King' realm."
"Who knows?"
"Okay, let's go, hurry in, class is about to begin." Song Kan urged.
Everyone entered the lecture hall of Danding Villa.
The teacher is Fuyaozi, the master of Danding lineage, fifth level, green robe and white beard, holding a whisk in hand, sitting cross-legged on the futon in the lecture hall, looking like an old god.
Everyone bowed and saluted when they entered the door, and Fuyaozi nodded.
After everyone was seated, Fuyaozi swept the dust and looked around. However, he was not in a hurry to teach, but asked slowly: "Have you all seen the big cauldron?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Fuyaozi asked slowly: "If you don't cultivate and become farmers or craftsmen, how long will your life span be?"
"Seventy or eighty years old"
"A hundred years old at most"
"In case of disaster, it is possible to return to the West at the age of fifty or sixty."
"You can be in your thirties or forties if you are in chaos," everyone answered one after another.
"Well, that's right." Fuyaozi nodded and asked, "Then do you know the lifespan of a cultivator?"
"More than a thousand years old"
"No, there are others who are four or five thousand years old."
"Long live everyone"
"I haven't seen it before, those are all legends" everyone replied in a hurry.
Fuyaozi waited for everyone to stop talking, then smiled and said: "I'm not talking about the immortal realm, just this mortal world. Ordinary people live a hundred years. People who cultivate the truth vary according to their realm. People at the god level can live up to one hundred years." Long live the heavenly level, the age is halved to 5,000 years old, the earth level is halved to 2,500 years old, the black level is halved to 1,250 years old, the yellow level is halved to 625 years old, and the unqualified cultivator is halved to 312 years old. This is a constant, but if people have many passions and sins and their life span is shortened, most of them will not reach the constant of their destiny.”
Zhang Mo was puzzled that Fuyaozi didn't talk about alchemy, but he talked about lifespan here. It seemed that the rumors that he was obsessed with the art of immortality were true.
"Teacher, ten thousand years is actually a long time and enough," Wei Changji said.
Fuyaozi chuckled: "Is it long? Buddhists say that in the time of increased calamity, the life span of an ordinary person can reach 80,000 years, but now, the life span of an ordinary person is only 100 years. If calculated according to the life span of a god-level person, it is a hundred times that of an ordinary person. , then even a mortal cultivator can live up to 8 million years."
Everyone was stunned! Long live 8 million! I thought to myself, "Damn, what does this Fuyaozi teacher think about all day long?!" "8 million years old, he has become a master!" "Don't be ridiculous, this is just an arithmetic problem."
Zhang Mo was also surprised, but what surprised him was that the Buddhists were so powerful? It seems that I need to read the Buddhist scriptures.
"Then what do you think the life span of heaven and earth is?" Fuyaozi asked again when he saw everyone was surprised.
"That's a long time ago, more than billions of years." "It must be more, it will take billions of years."
"Then tell me, if you take the essence of all things in the world, will that person live hundreds of millions of years?" Fuyaozi asked with a smile, stroking his white beard.
Everyone was stunned. After a long time, they began to talk about alchemy.
"Taking the essence of all things in the world and refining it into an elixir is an external elixir. This kind of method is called 'the way of all eventualities' by Pindao." Fuyaozi looked at the crowd with a deep look, "One life is two, two is three, The three generate all things, and on the contrary, condense the essence of all things and refine the essence of all things into one. This one is Tai Chi, which is the essence of Waidan!"
Everyone was shocked! It feels a bit like hearing about the great road!
Then he asked: “Have you ever heard of people who take external elixirs to live forever?”
Everyone shook their heads.
"There are many smart people in the world. Since the outer elixir is not good, what about the inner elixir?" Fuyaozi began to ask again, "Which classmate can tell me what the inner elixir is?".
Hou Cang stood up and bowed, and said: "Teacher, the inner elixir is the essence that is condensed into the inner elixir by tempering the essence, energy, and nerves of the human body through the meridians of the whole body under the control of mind power and using the vitality as the driving force. ".
Fuyaozi smiled slightly and said: "It's very good. Jing, Qi, and Shen are unified into one. Pindao calls it the 'Trinity of Ones'. Then you know that the inner alchemy sect has no less than a hundred schools of cultivation in the world of cultivation. Over the past tens of thousands of years, have there been any people who have achieved immortality by using the inner elixir?"
Everyone was talking about it for a while, "Who knows this?" "I don't think I've heard of it" "There are rumors, but I don't know if it's true or not" "I have little experience, so I haven't heard of it"...
Fuyaozi sighed, "For tens of thousands of years, no matter whether it is the outer elixir or the inner elixir, there has been no immortal." When he said this, he said a little desolately: "Without immortality, cultivation has purely become cultivation of power, with elixirs. Taking Tao as an example, what if you become the 'Alchemy King', what if you become the 'Elixir King' or the 'Alchemy Sage', whoever practices it will gain more power. Under this trend, all kinds of competition will arise, causing more harm and more karma. This goes against the essential original intention of the path of cultivation."
Everyone in the auxiliary sect looks at the four-person hall. "All kinds of competition, lots of killings, lots of karma," are all talking about you!
Everyone in the hall of four frowned, and Situ Shuai felt tired and thought to himself: "If we don't pursue power, how can we convince the enemy with our words?
A bunch of nerds! I do understand why the auxiliary sect produces garbage. This is what the teacher taught me. "
Hou Cang also secretly complained: "There are several alchemy kings in Liuyun Mountain, but we don't have to practice them concurrently. They really don't do the real work and think about random things all day long."
Zhang Mo also muttered: "It turns out that Taoist Master Fuyaozi is a pure idealistic cultivator. Such people are really rare in today's world."
"Therefore, the 'one-case scenario' of the outer alchemy is not advisable; the 'three-one way' of the inner alchemy is not enough." After saying this, he stood up slowly, looked out the window, and said leisurely: "I am not a good person." Talent, we have gathered ancient and modern alchemy methods to create the 'Four Ones', and hope to realize the way to immortality through this!"
It sounds cool! So cool! So it’s possible to pretend to be cool? !
Hou Cang frowned and thought to himself: "The auxiliary door is really crooked."
Zhang Mo stood up and saluted, stood up straight and said, "Teacher, what is the 'Four Ones' Way'?".
Fuyaozi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It is said to be extremely complicated. It took Pindao all his life to create this method. It is said to be simple, but it is also simple. Four-one is the combination of two elixirs into one, two cultivations inside and outside, and the essence of all things in the world is one. The essence is two, the energy is three, and the spirit is four. The four phenomena belong to yin and yang, yin and yang belong to Tai Chi, Tai Chi belongs to Wuji, and Wuji people can live as long as the sky!"
It's quiet again, you can hear the drop of a needle!
