Chapter 3 Condensing Qi and Building Primordial Spirit(1/2)
At the hour of You, Zhang Yan turned to his residence.
As soon as he returned to the cave, he would lift the door sealing stone strip to lock the door and start to retreat.
The light in front of him dimmed, and Zhang Yan in the dark room could not hide his joy. He didn't expect that the most important Yuan-building Dao method before opening the meridian was so easy to get it? Even with his qi cultivation skills, he was a little excited.
He was not in a hurry to practice, but washed his hands and changed his clothes and lit the incense burner for nourishing qi.
Ning Shen sat quietly for a moment. He took a piece of white paper and wrote down the whole method again. As the words in his pen appeared one by one, his whole body slowly relaxed and his mood gradually calmed down.
After the entire article "Yongchuan Mai Xing Method", his mental and physical condition gradually adjusted to the best.
Building the Yuan means condensing the internal energy cultivated by the body into the Shenque acupoint, and integrating it with the innate vital energy brought from the mother's fetus, thereby planting the immortal root spirit seed.
There is a mantra: "The internal energy is mixed and it will be born in the first place."
This is the only way before opening the immortal vein. Whether you can achieve something in the future is crucial.
Sitting down on the cushion and putting all the distracting thoughts out of his mind one by one. He first used the entry-level mind technique to sort out his breath. After sitting silently for half an hour, his heart was already peaceful and quiet.
After everything was ready, I began to recite the mantra silently and guide the internal energy to move slowly according to the method of maneuver.
But it didn't take long, but he stopped.
Zhang Yan frowned slightly. In the past, he had smooth and free movements in his qi and veins. He realized that the qi was coming, but this time he felt something was wrong. Not only was the breath intermittent, but he was also quite stagnant when walking, as if a person was stumbled forward, and there was always bumpy under his feet.
Fortunately, he had just started practicing, so he simply dissipated the internal energy he had just guided, calmed down, and started again from the beginning.
But this time, the situation we encountered was exactly the same as last time.
Zhang Yan's face narrowed, his eyes opened, and he decisively stopped his practice.
You must never force yourself to practice one way. If you just act stubbornly, it will only destroy your foundation.
Is it because I am too poor in my qualifications that I cannot practice this magic formula?
He shook his head.
If he cannot practice a certain merit technique due to qualifications, he may not be able to practice a certain merit, but even the qi flows through meridians is so difficult, so the problem is definitely not here.
What is the reason? Is it because of the magic formula itself?
Zhang Yan read the magic trick again, but he was puzzled.
There are no secret techniques such as retrograde qi, don’t follow the extraordinary scriptures, and backward flow. You can see at a glance that is the most authentic mysterious way. How to walk each step, where to move the qi, how to cooperate with the acupoints, and how to correspond to breathing are all clearly stated, so detailed that it cannot be further detailed, so you almost didn’t supervise and guide the teacher. Is there any other problem with such a magic technique?
If neither of these two reasons is true, then it is possible that his cultivation method is not accurate.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan's heart moved, picked up the pulse method and read it repeatedly several times. When he saw the eight words "flowing water down, its momentum is natural", he vaguely realized what the problem was.
Perhaps it was precisely because the magic formula was explained in great detail that he was too deliberate when practicing and forgot the true meaning of the natural flow of water in Taoist books!
You should know that some Xuanmen True Dharmas focus on divine will, while others focus on the Dharma. Both are indispensable and complement each other, but there is a distinction between the monarch, minister, and the master and the second. This magic trick is obviously that divine will first and the Dharma will later. When he practices, he only focuses on "fa", but ignores "intention", and the main and the second are reversed, and the deliberate sculpting is too heavy, so he will naturally fall into the inferior.
Zhang Yan put down the Taoist scriptures and pondered in his sleeves.
Although he found out the crux of the problem, he still couldn't continue.
As long as he practices this method with all his heart, then obsession will always exist, which is naturally contrary to the will of divineness. In this way, he will inevitably be unable to continue practicing forcibly.
If he is asked to let go, of course he can get rid of his obsessions, and he can naturally improve his cultivation.
This seems to be a dead knot in the ring.
Zhang Yan stood up, paced back and forth indoors with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to practice.
On this path of cultivation, you will always encounter various confusions and difficulties. If you are not careful, you will fall into a path. At the very least, your cultivation will not advance but retreat. At the worst, your Taoist foundation will be damaged. At the worst, you will become possessed by the devil and have the worries of your life.
At this time, we can see the benefits of having teachers. Not only can they always mention their lives, but they will also take the support of the Dharma at critical moments. The danger during practice is naturally greatly reduced. However, Zhang Yan is just a registered disciple. He has no teacher or colleagues to advise, so he can only rely on himself to slowly explore and eliminate the obstacles.
Zhang Yan knew that he was too anxious at this time, but he should be more at ease. Otherwise, once he was blinded by the devil's obstacles, he would only sink deeper and deeper in the quagmire.
After thinking for a long time, he found that there was a way that was feasible.
That is to go out for a long trip.
Visit famous mountains and scenic spots, observe the artistic conception of mountains and rivers, wait for the time in your mind, and wait for the time to come, and when the time comes, the water will come naturally and the success will be perfect. This can also be said to be the most in line with the true nature of Taoism.
However, this method was immediately denied by Zhang Yan. First, it was because it took too long, and second, it was because it had too many variables.
This is just before opening the meridian. If he gets a similar advanced method in the future, would he go to the mountains and rivers first? This is a waste of time. What's more, the reason why he chose to retreat immediately was because he felt that tonight was the best time to build his own primordial power. If he missed it, he didn't know when he would wait next time.
He couldn't help but shut his eyes and ponder. Since he had seen the magic tricks from his travel notes, he was already considered a "destined person". That senior had no reason to leave such an obvious flaw.
There must be a way, and it must be hidden in the book!
He stared at the dense words on the paper and looked back and forth several times until his eyes were sore, suddenly, his back thrust and a sudden light of inspiration appeared in his mind!
By the way! Why did I forget that this Taoist book was originally written in eclipse!
The erosion text is simple and traditional, with a broad meaning. Each word reflects the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. In just a few strokes, you can tell the life, death, and prosperity of all things in the world. After his interpretation, the method of this Taoist book has become thousands of words, but it is written in erosion text, but only 600 words.
These six hundred words have already explained the magic formula clearly and thoroughly. The erosion text used by the senior who wrote the book is already the most superficial and straightforward. Instead, he practiced based on the interpreted manuscript. Wouldn't that be a mirror to see the moon and seek far away?
in this way……
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, and he simply took the pen and dipped it in ink, took a piece of white paper, and wrote down the entire "Yongchuan Piercing Method" in an erosion text.
As soon as the entire pulse method was written, the originally stiff breath in his body moved inexplicably.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that he had found the right method. He kept writing the whole method in one breath. After finishing the work, he didn't stop. Then he took out a piece of white paper and picked up the pen to write it again.
Gradually, the thick inner energy, which was originally like stagnant water, was stirred up by a hidden dragon, spreading and splashing into the limbs and veins, and wandering. After walking around the sky, it gathered in the dantian, and then revolved around it, reviving and reviving.
The whole process came naturally, and it was all based on true energy. Zhang Yan did not pursue it at all. His mind was immersed in the erosion of the pen.
The breath of the whole body was still like a trickle of water at first, and it was dense. As the vein method was written over and over again, the breath became stronger and stronger. Later, it was like a big river surging, and the waves were rising in the long river, surging and surging around the body.
However, Zhang Yan was not happy or sad in his heart, and he ignored it at all. At the end of his writing, there was no ink in his hand. However, in his eyes, the erosion texts still gushed out of his pen. Even without his thoughts, the internal energy continued to follow the magic formula and rushed the blocked meridians everywhere.
After 365 cycles of the world, the internal energy in the whole body rises and falls like a sea of tide, and it squeezes the various acupoints in waves.
When this huge breath reached its peak, it was originally located deep in the navel, but since birth, it closed its trick suddenly and opened a gap. The surging internal energy seemed to have found a way to vent, and it poured in one after another. After a moment, it disappeared completely. For a moment, the body became empty, and the whole person was panicked as if it was swollen in the void.
If there is no guidance from a wise master, the practitioner will inevitably panic and suspicious when encountering such a situation, which will lead to failure. However, Zhang Yan has experienced the cycle of life and death, and is firm in his mind, and is still calm as usual. He is in a state of turmoil in his heart. He does not care about everything that happens in his body, and let it be natural.
Sure enough, not long after, the disappearing internal energy was slowly spit out by the alchemy orifice, but there seemed to be a trace of innate vitality mixed in it, and then it was sucked in again by the alchemy orifice. After eight breaths, the internal energy was already integrated with the innate vitality, and was not distinguished from each other. When the internal energy slowly returned to the alchemy orifice for the ninth time, the Shenque point located in the navel suddenly jumped!
boom!
Zhang Yan seemed to have a light knock on the back of his head by a jade hammer, and a clear sound came from his ear. First, there was a vast white area in front of him, and then a bright light was shining. The saliva in his mouth grew and limped into his throat. With a stream of heat, it finally fell deep in the navel, and finally remained safe.
Zhang Yan's pen suddenly stopped, and when he raised his head, he found that the ground was covered with papers he wrote.
A white light penetrated the hole left on the hole wall in front of me. Before I knew it, it turned out that it had been a night.
At this moment, not only did he feel refreshed, his five senses were clear and his heart was quiet.
His entire temperament has also changed, and he has a faint sense of outstripping spirit.
If he could see himself, he could find that a layer of crystal jade color appeared on his face at this moment, flowing on his head and face, and his eyes were as bright as stars. This shows that from today on, he has stepped into the realm of "condensing the Yuan Yuan and showing the meaning" in the Yuan Yuan, and it is only a line away from the last step of "condensing the Yuan Yuan into the Truth".
Zhang Yan swung the brush in his hand, walked a few steps, took the stone strip of the seal door, opened the door, and took one step forward.
He stopped after taking two steps. He looked at his hands in surprise. The door seal stone weighed more than 300 kilograms. Although he was strong and healthy, he felt quite troublesome when moving it. But just lifted it lightly and moved the door seal stone aside.
He couldn't help but suddenly realize that he often heard people say that after the Taoist practitioner built the Yuan, "the arms were born with a thousand pounds of force, the eyes could penetrate the heavy smoke and fog, and the ears could distinguish insects and birds' singing, and they were almost immortals." It seems that this legend is true?
Zhang Yan clenched his fists with both hands, took a deep breath, and secretly reminded himself that this is just the first step in the road of the great way, and he must not be complacent. There are more dangerous obstacles waiting for him later. It is too early to be happy at this time.
At this time, a clear and pleasant cry came, and it was heard for a long time.
Zhang Yan turned his head and saw that it was the rising sun, the clouds and mists were dispersed, and the trees in the mountains were dyed with golden clouds. The winding river under the cliff was like a white line and jade belt. From time to time, three or two white feathered cranes flew past the plank road under their feet.
He stood on the edge of the cliff with a bright and cold morning breeze blowing by. Although he was just a Taoist robe, he didn't feel cold at all and let his clothes sway in the wind.
After practicing the introductory mind method for three years, I started the best technique and condensed the energy overnight. It can be said that it is a natural result of accumulation and development.
He couldn't help but think, if he was still practicing hard in the cave every day, just waiting for the gift of heaven, and just paying attention to opportunities, would he still have the opportunity today?
The answer is obviously not possible.
The path of practicing Taoism is like a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. There is no way to give in. Only by moving forward, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles, we must regard it as a smooth road.
In the previous life, the Book of Changes said, "It's hard all day long, and the Tao is repeated." Isn't it true that a gentleman should strive for self-improvement and persist over and over again regardless of good or bad times. Only in this way can he be in line with the masculine and righteous path?
It can be seen that one is committed to progress and hard work, which is the action of the way of heaven.
In a word, people must help themselves and God helps them!
Thinking of this, he felt enlightened again.
At this moment, his expression moved and suddenly turned his head to look at the other end of the plank road.
Now he is sensitive and can hear someone walking towards him from afar.
Soon, a figure of a 17 or 18-year-old woman came into view. She was wearing a bun on her head, a long shirt with a narrow sleeve, a man's outfit, and a sword around her waist. She looked heroic at first glance, but her chin was slightly thinner, giving people a feeling of being difficult to get close to.
She came all the way to Zhang Yan, looked at him with bad eyes, and asked, "Are you Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Yan had never seen this woman in his life and replied, "It's just me, who is the girl?"
"My name is Zhao Ying." The woman waved her hand with a cold face and said, "Please pack up quickly and follow me down the mountain, and then change will happen."
Zhang Yan felt inexplicably and asked, "What does Miss Zhao mean?"
