During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were disputes among princes and frequent wars. Military training and martial arts received unprecedented attention and development.
At the same time, various scholars came to the world and hundreds of schools of thought contended.
All kinds of thoughts exploded.
Martial arts were not only in the hands of the major military nobles, but also gradually spread among the people.
The Taoist Lao Tzu put forward the internal refining theory of "returning to one's roots and reviving one's life", the breathing exercises of "hush or blow" and "continuously breathing as if it exists", and also talked about the ideal of "longevity and long-term vision".
Zhuangzi also has internal training methods such as "Xin Zhai" and "Sitting and Forgetting".
Guigu Tuna, sorcerer's alchemy, witchcraft, blood and qi hard skills, guiding and convincing qi...
Various miraculous powers emerge in endlessly.
However, some kung fu caused serious side effects on the body, and was later either improved or abandoned.
For example: The Battle of Wuyue.
The swordsmen of the Wu State are skilled in swordsmanship. They use the art of group fighting, defeating the few with numbers, and cleverly use Sun Wuzi's art of war. The swordsmanship of the Yue State uses confusing swordsmanship at first, and then uses the swordsmanship of fighting to the death after being defeated. .
They are all very primitive and in the process of exploration.
Later, the "Yue Girl" Ah Qing was born. Her swordsmanship and reasoning skills were superb. She actually broke through a thousand soldiers with a green bamboo pole and broke into the Yue palace, leaving behind the legend of the "Yue Goddess Sword"! !
From the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, alchemy developed.
Various alchemy practitioners have put forward their own alchemy theories.
At the same time, Buddhism entered the Central Plains. Since then, there have been three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Martial arts is gradually integrated with health preservation in the integration of culture. However, due to the prevalence of metaphysics at that time, no theory could unify all, so everyone still practiced their own practices.
Some people seek immortality through alchemy.
But this world is not the world of immortals and demons after all. The elixirs made from the essence of plants and trees are still of some benefit, but the lead and mercury substances can only lead to chronic death.
For example, the "famous" Five Stone Powder.
Its negative impact has hindered the development of martial arts to a certain extent.
The term "inner elixir" was first mentioned by Xu Xun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in his book "Lingjianzi": "Inner elixir is used to regulate the throat."
However, the inner elixir and the outer elixir are still entangled.
It was not until Zen Master Huisi, the third ancestor of the Tiantai Sect, clearly distinguished the outer elixir and the inner elixir in the "Li Jing Yuan Wen".
In the Sui Dynasty, Taoist Su Yuanlang further proposed the theory of "double cultivation of life and life".
He wrote "Dragon and Tiger Gold Liquid Restores the Alchemy and Tongyuan Lun", explaining the inner alchemy in terms of external alchemy, advocating "dual cultivation of life and life", emphasizing the comprehensive exercise of mind and body, and taking this as the core of inner alchemy practice. From then on, "Gui Shen Dan" Refined in the heart."
Su Yuanlang advocated refining inner elixirs, believing that elixirs did not lie in ingesting external substances through the spleen and stomach, but in contemplating and retaining the spirit within, using the rise and fall of thoughts to control the process of internal cultivation and inner refining, and produce the treasure of elixirs out of nothing.
During the Tang Dynasty, the study of inner alchemy flourished.
At the same time, alchemists put forward theories, and some people chose to experiment on their own to combine theory with practice. For example, Zhongliquan wrote "Lingbao Bifa", Zhongliquan passed down the alchemy of Lu Dongbin, Cui Xifan wrote "Medicine Mirror", and Sima Cheng Zhen wrote "Tian Yinzi"...and so on.
Some also carry forward their own theories and let future generations confirm them.
Then, a theoretical system of "refining oneself to build a foundation, refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, and refining spirit to return to emptiness" was gradually recognized by everyone.
Under the mature theory, martial arts has also developed vigorously.
Five Dynasties period.
Murong Longcheng, a native of Xianbei, created the unique skill of "Star Shift". When faced with any martial arts attack, he can rebound to the opponent, making himself invincible;
The "Sword God" Duan Siping, with his "Six Meridians Divine Sword Art", is invincible and almost invincible. He established the Dali Kingdom by force and dominated the southwest;
There was also the "Taizu" Zhao Kuangyin, who used the "coiling dragon stick method" to assemble thousands of troops and was unable to resist.
Among them, there is a generation of strange man Pan Lang, who calls himself "Xiaoyaozi". He has created many wonderful martial arts, including Kung Fu that can rejuvenate one's youth, and goes one step further than others in the practice of immortality.
It's a pity that these people are strong, but in the end it seems that no one can live forever! ?
During the two Song Dynasties.
Various martial arts sects have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there are many outstanding ones among them.
"Xiyizi" Chen Tuan, "Sword Demon" Dugu Qiubai, "Chongyangzi" Wang Zhongfu, "Zhenren Ziyang" Zhang Boduan...
Hong Kang found a few words about them in the "Imperial Book Pavilion".
Until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Zhang Sanfeng, the great Taoist master through the ages, founded the "Wudang" line.
When Zhang Sanfeng was alive, everyone in the world was dissatisfied with his Taoism and martial arts.
Later, Sanfeng Zhenren disappeared.
"Um??"
Hong Kang thought: "Missing??"
Looking at the records, any famous scholar in the history of Taoism has clear records of birth and death.
For example, Zhang Guolao, Mr. Tongxuan in the early Tang Dynasty, one of the "Eight Immortals" in folklore, lived for 289 years, which can be regarded as the six lifetimes of an ordinary person.
No one would believe such an incredible longevity person, but Hong Kang believed it.
Because he himself can currently live to be more than 150 years old!
Who knew that Zhang Guolao’s cultivation had reached the realm of a god! !
A thought suddenly flashed through Hong Kang's mind: Could it be that Master Sanfeng has not passed away? !
It's not impossible!
Zhang Sanfeng is not only a Taoist who only studies the theory of alchemy, but also a true practitioner.
Judging from his age, if he could live to this day, he would be two hundred, thirty or forty years old...
After such a long time, the graves of ordinary people may not be found.
But he is Zhang Sanfeng~~!
Is there a possibility that he is still somewhere in this world! ?
Thinking of this, Hong Kang's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
He now desperately needs a forerunner on the path of spiritual practice as a reference, otherwise he can only rely on his own exploration and trial and error.
"However, it is not without gain."
It took Hong Kang nearly two years of his life to read all the books in the Imperial Book Pavilion.
It’s not that there is no content that is really useful to me, but it’s all fragmented.
Only this one——
Hong Kang looked at the "Jade Scripture of the Interior of the Huangting" in his hand.
This scripture mainly talks about the method of "preserving thought and preserving spirit".
[Tianshifu] The early practice was mainly based on "thinking".
The so-called "Cunsi" refers to the "method of refining the spirit", which includes the techniques of Vipassana, keeping stillness, Cunsi, and Shouyi.
This "Jade Sutra of the Inner Scenery of the Huangting" was created through many experiments and modifications by Mrs. Wei Huacun and Wei, combined with the methods of medicine and internal refining, to create a meditation meditation that focuses on spiritual refining.
However, when Mrs. Wei was writing this scripture, she tested it on herself many times, which resulted in numerous injuries to her body. Shen Ke was unable to recover and passed away before she was a hundred years old.
Moreover, according to the opening chapter of "The Jade Sutra of the Inner Scenery of the Huangting", the best effect will be achieved if practiced together with the "Jade Sutra of the Outer Scenery of the Huangting".
Because there are related contents in "Exterior Scenery Sutra" about breathing in and moving Qi, swallowing fluid and treasure essence, cleansing the internal organs and so on.
It's just that the "Exterior Views" has long been lost in the thousands of years of changes.
"But, why can this "Jade Scripture of Inner Scenery of Huangting" still be left in [Tianshi Mansion]?"
Out of curiosity, Hong Kang found Zhang Yujian.
