3. Pangu opens the sky, and people uphold yin and yang

The next day, early morning.

As usual, the old Heavenly Master practiced Baduanjin in the outer corridor. Zhang Zhixiang watched the old Heavenly Master finish the practice and asked: "Brother, you didn't let me practice Daoyin before, now it's time for you to teach me?"

It’s not that Zhang Zhixiang doesn’t know how to do it.

He learned the "Eight Parts of Vajra Gong" and "Longevity Gong" in his previous life, and later learned that they were passed down by Zhang Boduan, the great master of Ziyang, and were a type of Daoyin technique.

Taoist Master Zhang Zhishun didn't care about sectarian opinions, so he made the exercises public.

But now it’s the Ming Dynasty.

The difference between the schools was that no one had practiced in Tianshi Mansion, so he didn't dare to practice, and he couldn't explain the origin. Moreover, the old Tianshi said that he was too young and should not practice Qigong.

"Haha, don't be in a hurry."

The old Heavenly Master still had the same attitude. However, he did not teach the Daoyin Technique, but he could teach the basic Six-Character Jue. He took Zhang Zhixiang to the side and sat down, and asked: "Do you know about the Six-Character Jue in Taoism?"

"

"Um."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded. He had learned a lot in the Tianshi Mansion for five years, so he replied: "The Six-Character Jue was handed down by Tao Hongjing of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There is one type of breathing in, and six types of breathing, namely: blow, exhale, and hee."

,heh,shh,huh.”

"The king of medicine, Sun Simiao, composed a hygienic song in conjunction with the five elements and the climate of the four seasons."

"The song says:"

"Spring improves eyesight and summer soothes the heart; autumn and winter soothe the lungs and kidneys."

“The spleen is constantly activated throughout the four seasons to transform food, and it is difficult to stop the heat from the triple burner.”

"It is advisable to comb the hair frequently and to restrain the Qi; it is advisable to tap the teeth several times and to swallow."

"If you want to cultivate Kunlun without dying, keep rubbing your hands on your face."

Zhang Zhixiang has an excellent memory in his two lifetimes. He never forgets anything he has read or read. As long as he has read it two or three times, he will definitely be able to memorize it. He often goes to the Imperial Book Pavilion to read, so many times the Heavenly Master will ask him first and then teach him.

The Heavenly Master smiled slightly.

Asked: "Then do you think these six characters are onomatopoeia or onomatopoeia?"

Zhang Zhixiang thought for a while and replied: "Is it true? The pronunciation is different for ten miles, and the pronunciation of ancient and modern times is also different. If it is a foley, it must be inaccurate. In the past, Cangjie coined the word, and the sky rained millet, and the ghosts cried at night."

"Writing is the manifestation of the great road of heaven and earth."

"You will never change your ways for thousands of years."

The Heavenly Master stroked his beard and nodded, very satisfied, and said: "Since you know the pass, you can breathe in and out sooner or later. It will have its own effect on strengthening your body."

"Senior brother, why do you want to cultivate Kunlun without dying?"

"Kunlun...the highest point is Kunlun, which is...here."

The Heavenly Master casually nodded Zhang Zhixiang's head, and then asked: "How high is it here?"

Zhang Zhixiang also didn't know his height: "About... four feet?"

The old Heavenly Master smiled slightly and said: "The rooftop is 48,000 feet tall, but it is not as high as it. The sun, moon, and stars are all under it. This is Kunlun, the place of eternal life, and the high mountain of thousands of ancestors."

"Human beings are born according to heaven and earth. Do you know where heaven and earth come from?"

Zhang Zhixiang: "Pangu opened the sky?"

"The heaven and earth were as chaotic as chicken eggs, and Pangu was born in them. Eighteen thousand years ago, the heaven and earth were opened, and the clear yang was the sky, and the turbid yin was the earth."

"Is this it? Senior brother?"

The Heavenly Master rubbed Zhang Zhixiang's head lovingly, and couldn't be more satisfied with the intelligence of this younger junior fellow apprentice. He smiled and said, "Yang Qing has no form, but Yin turbidity has reality."

"Therefore, the invisible is Yang, and the tangible is Yin."

"In the time of innateness, the universe was chaotic like a hen's egg, with all things carrying yin and embracing yang. Therefore, the chaos is outside, and the innate spirit is inside. Waiting for the opportunity of innate to change to acquired, the number of great evolutions is fifty, and one escapes and lives forty-nine.

"

"What is one?"

"The Tao of the innate Yuanling is one. It evolved from the initial state of Yang to Yang. The only innate Yuanling Tao was broken into countless fragments and became Yang to Yin. The balanced operation of Yin and Yang has since then

At the beginning, chaos, as the ultimate yin of yin, began to transform into the ultimate yang of yin, that is, disordered chaos began to become orderly."

"In this way, the world we know is formed."

"All tangible things originate from chaos, and chaos has no spirit, so all living things are the fusion of tangible bodies and invisible spirits."

"The so-called invisible spirits, these fragments of the innate Yuan Ling Dao, we prefer to call them... Innate Yuan Qi."

"This is the creation of the world by Pangu."

"Now, do you know how high Kunlun is?"

Zhang Zhixiang's eyes widened. He had read many books in his previous life, but he didn't know that such a statement could be made. After being shocked, he showed a hint of childish mischief and said: "Kunlun is ninety thousand miles high."

The last sentence of the description of Pangu's creation of the sky in "Sanwu Liji" is "The old heaven and earth are ninety thousand miles away."

The Heavenly Master was surprised and laughed.

"Nine is the ultimate number. It is not wrong to say it is ninety thousand miles away. Heaven and earth are ninety thousand miles away, and it is also ninety thousand miles away from us. Although it is here and clearly in our bodies, it is the most distant existence in the world."

"It is the great road originating from the innate world, and it is the most glorious, most majestic and most orderly existence."

"Practice is to find it!"

"so."

"Buddhists say that one can become a Buddha by seeing one's nature. Therefore, Wang Yangming said, the way of a saint is that one's nature is self-sufficient."

The Heavenly Master nodded his head, and Zhang Zhixiang seemed to understand. The Heavenly Master didn't care, because this was just the beginning, and he would slowly teach Zhang Zhixiang all the Tao.

After Zhang Zhixiang understands what Tao is, he can start practicing.

The Six-Character Jue of Tuna.

It is said to be breathing and breathing, but in fact, more of the effect is just to maintain health. It is the most basic thing for getting started with Taoism. Zhang Zhixiang is in good health. Practicing it actually has no obvious effect, but persistence is the key.

The prerequisite for a hundred days of foundation building is ten years of maintenance.

If you are not in good health, why should you practice spiritual practice?

After lunch, Zhang Zhixiang looked at the snow on the mountain road. His little body was quite hanging down the mountain. He ran to the wing behind the Tianshi Mansion and found a giant who was more than ten feet tall and snoring like thunder. He was sleeping soundly and shouted:

Said: "Great windbreak! Great windbreak!"

The giant stopped snoring and suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing that it was Zhang Zhixiang, he calmed down his evil intentions and shouted in an urn voice: "Uncle, little master."

"Dafangfeng, I want to go down the mountain and go home. Send me there."

"oh."

The giant nodded in agreement, turned around and got up, stepped on the ground with his bare feet, pulled a piece of tiger skin and put it on his shoulders, then picked up Zhang Zhixiang and placed it on his shoulders, then sat down and strode down the mountain.

It doesn’t matter whether the mountain road is rugged or covered with heavy snow.

The giant didn't care at all. He was obviously walking, but he was running faster than ordinary people. The place where he landed was extremely stable. He seemed to know exactly when the soft snow would be compacted and how deep each foot would go.

Sitting on the giant's shoulders, Zhang Zhixiang didn't feel any bumps.

This shows the profundity of the giant's kung fu.

The giant has no name. It was brought back from overseas by a caravan. Because of its huge figure, it was expected to be sold at a good price. However, on the way to Shuntianfu, the giant found an opportunity and escaped from the slave car.

During the chase, he accidentally went to Longhu Mountain and was informed by the Tianshi Mansion.

The Ming Dynasty did not allow the sale of slaves, at least according to the law. No matter how unwilling the caravan was, it would not dare to offend the Tianshi Mansion, so the old Tianshi offered a price of five hundred taels, which was regarded as giving both parties a step up.

Since then, the giant has stayed in the Tianshi Mansion as a protector.

In ancient times, there was Fangfeng, who was three feet tall and was a giant, so everyone in the Tianshi Mansion called him "Fangfeng". Because of his tallness, he was often called "Big Fangfeng".

Although Dafangfeng is an overseas savage, his appearance is no different from that of a Han Chinese.

He also has black hair and yellow skin.

I heard that it came from the continent at the end of the East China Sea. The Heavenly Master understood it clearly and said that it was the land of the Yin Dynasty. In the past, the eunuchs of the Three Treasures sailed to the West and their fleets sailed around the world. They discovered two continents east of the East China Sea, and they were both covered by the Yin Dynasty.

The old people of Shang Dynasty named it Shangzhou and divided it into two parts: north and south.

Dafangfeng is a Yin Di'an native and comes from Beishangzhou.
