After about half a stick of incense, I had reached a high place, but I saw a picturesque sea of clouds in front of me. In the distance, there was a giant peak towering into the sky and mountains. The colorful mist was wrapped in three rings, which seemed to be illusory and real...
'Li Xuan' couldn't help but feel shaken. He turned around and looked down the mountain. He saw nothing but mist. He couldn't see other people anywhere: even the corner of the Taoist temple was hidden in the smoke.
The red sun above our head shines on the clouds and mist, reflecting the brilliant glow, which is really beautiful.
'Li Xuan' was in a daze when he felt a sudden rush of wind in his ears, and the clouds and mist covered his eyes. After a while, his feet shook slightly, and he heard Wuchen say in his ear: "This is it."
When he came back to his senses, 'Li Xuan' found that he was standing on a platform in the middle of the mountain. There were clouds and mist on both sides behind him, and she could see the cliffs. In front of him was a stone wall covered with branches and vines. Looking carefully, the stone wall turned out to be
It is composed of two stone doors that are about 10 feet high. Through the stone doors, you can feel a solemn and auspicious atmosphere.
After "Li Xuan" stood firm, Wuchen slowly walked to the stone door and bowed down respectfully. Then he stretched out his hands and made a soft sound, and saw a faint white light on his hands, saying
With a dull "crack" sound, two stone doors weighing more than 10,000 kilograms slowly opened with his push.
Due to his previous experience, 'Li Xuan' was not surprised. He just stared at the gradually expanding entrance of the cave and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
As soon as the stone door opened, a purple light came out from inside, and when it was halfway open, the mist inside could be faintly seen.
At Wuchen's signal, 'Li Xuan' calmed down a little and entered the cave with his crutch.
This is a small cave. The purple mist is filled with unknown sources. It is square in shape, two feet long, and about ten feet wide and high. The facilities are simple. It should be said that there are no facilities, because the entire cave only has a small area near the back wall.
There is a stone table, with a purple brocade box placed in the center, and next to it is a purple air ball the size of a palm, which is slowly rotating, and you can't see clearly in confusion, but there is nothing else; although
It is so simple, but it is spotless everywhere. On the wall of the cave opposite the stone gate, there are two lines of poetry: "This thing is born, it has no root or origin, it is natural. If you can know the true wonderful thing, it will neither be born nor die.
Cut off ten thousand fates." It is signed "Baimuzi".
After reading the book on the stone wall, Li Xuan thought to himself:
"The tone is quite loud! I think that the real person didn't know the mystery at the time, so he sighed and left a poem to inform future generations!"
The two came to the stone case. Wuchen pointed at the purple gas and reminded with a smile: "Brother Li, this is your chance!"
Looking along what Wuchen was pointing, he saw an oval-shaped dark purple air mass, slightly away from the stone table. At first glance, it looked like a leaf of grass growing on it. It seemed to be inseparable and dead, but it was thin
Savor it carefully, and in the slow rotation, it seems to contain a little bit of agility, like a dream, and in reality, people can't help but feel a sense of ethereal.
Looking at the air mass in front of him, Li Xuanqi was slightly stunned. He looked left and right and couldn't see any connection between the air mass on the stone table and the Taoist book. He hesitated and looked back at Wuchen.
Wuchen smiled and said: "Haha! Brother Li, don't hesitate, just try it. The mysteries of Taoism are beyond what you and I can imagine now. The appearance is not necessarily the inner phenomenon, and what the eyes see is not necessarily true.
!You have to look at it with your heart and experience it!”
Taking a deep breath and staring at the purple air mass close at hand, 'Li Xuan' suddenly felt inexplicable anxiety. He slowly stretched out his hand, but stopped midway: the purple air mass in front of him was like
There was a mystery waiting for him to uncover, and while he was looking forward to it, he was also a little worried - at this moment, he really felt like he was afraid of leaving a treasure trove and leaving empty-handed.
Seeing 'Li Xuan's' hesitation, Wuchen said from the side:
1. Heaven’s heart is so vast that it provides opportunities for people. You can’t force it!”
'Li Xuanqi's hand slowly approached the air mass. When he touched the purple air, the hot air in his chest and abdomen seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly became manic, like a wild horse running wild.
, jumped back and forth in his body, and at the same time, a strange feeling came from his fingertips. Before he could react, he saw a dazzling purple light burst in front of him, shaking him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
Subconsciously covering his eyes with his hands, 'Li Xuan' felt a bright light in front of him and could not see anything clearly. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a buzzing sound in his ears. Suddenly, a cold feeling penetrated from the center of his eyebrows.
Directly reaching Niwanxuan Palace deep in Yintang, at the same time, the heat in his chest also calmed down. In a trance, it seemed that there was an invisible force attracting him, and his consciousness also followed. The next moment, a huge
The space suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he saw that the surrounding area was gray, like mist steaming, and like turbulent sea waves. It was endless, and it was impossible to distinguish between east, west, north, and south, like chaos.
'Li Xuan was at a loss when he saw the mist in front of him flowing billowingly, and soon formed a Taoist scroll in the void. The scroll was filled with colorful clouds and auspicious air, and there were three words on it: But he didn't know
I couldn't see the reason clearly. I could vaguely see that each character was more than ten feet in size, with eight horns. There was a faint purple light hanging down from each corner, and the fragrance was uncertain. After half a minute, I saw it.
Several pictures slowly appeared in the void, but they were blocked by heavy fog and could not be seen clearly.
Faintly, the first picture is of a herding boy, holding a book in his hand, sitting on a big rock and shouting at the old cattle next to him, under the blue sky and white clouds, it is so leisurely.
The second painting depicts a grown-up shepherd boy. But when he saw the wedding night and the gold medal inscription, the shepherd boy was as rich as the world, full of ambition and proud of the spring breeze. The whole picture was full of colors, which made people feel inexplicable.
Sense of immersion.
The wind in the third painting changed, and I saw a bleak autumn wind, lone wild geese flying south, several barren graves on the rocky hills, and a few wild dogs looking for food in the deep grass.
Seeing this, purple energy gradually filled the air. No matter how hard 'Li Xuan' tried, he could no longer see the scene clearly... In an instant, there was a loud bang, the screen disappeared, and countless tadpole-sized words appeared in the void like slides.
.
Before 'Li Xuan' had time to see it clearly, he saw that the purple light faded away, the characters disappeared, and returned to a purple mist, floating quietly in front of 'Li Xuan''s eyes. Purple mist rolled around it, and falling stars were falling one after another.
, the purple light fragrance seemed to be spiritual, as if it was demonstrating something to him, but it was not clear: 'Li Xuan' quietly stared at the purple gas in front of him, constantly replaying the pictures he had just seen in his mind.
I felt deeply immersed in it, and was awakened by an anxious voice half way through:
"Daojuan Ni? Why are you missing?" Wuchen had a look of astonishment on his face. He walked up to the stone case in two steps and looked up, down, left and right.
"Taoist Priest! That thing seems to have entered my mind..."
'Li Xuan''s headless and tailless words shocked Wuchen again. He looked at 'Li Xuan' up and down with a pair of strange eyes, and then he said after half a minute: "Weird, weird! Something unprecedented! This should be
What should we do? Hey... whether it is a disaster or a blessing depends on your future fortune!" Wu Chenzi said to 'Li Xuan' at this time
His title was also changed to intimidate fellow Taoists.
Wuchen's words made 'Li Xuan' stunned for a moment, and then he recalled the scene he had just seen in his mind, and suddenly felt a thousand layers of fog covering his heart. He felt extremely uncomfortable and felt a sense of confusion.
Feeling unhappy, he immediately made an excuse and said: "Master Taoist, I just had an enlightenment. I wonder if I can use this place to reflect on it."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This cave is destined for a capable person. What's more, if the Tao scroll disappears, the power of the prohibition will probably also dissipate: Taoist friends can calmly practice here. From now on, I will send someone to bring meals every other day. If
If there's an emergency, you just need to blow three times with this thing and I'll be there." After Wuchen finished speaking, he took out a translucent half-foot piccolo from his arms and handed it over with both hands, his expression showing a little respect.
taste.
Taking the piccolo, Li Xuanqi looked at it and put it in his arms and said:
"Then I'll ask you, Taoist priest."
Wuchen Jishou said: "Fellow Taoists don't need to be too polite. There is a priority in learning the Tao. Those who are masters are teachers. In the future, poor Taoists will hope that when they understand the Xuan Sutra, they will not forget today's entrustment and make a transformation!"
’ Li Xuanqi smiled and said: “How dare you, how dare you, but what you have achieved is all thanks to the Taoist Master.”
Hearing this, Wuchen happily said, "If you are such a poor man, you will go first." After saying this, he cupped his hands and walked out, swaying and disappearing outside the cave.
Because this cave is located on a cliff in the middle of the mountain, it is difficult to find animals, and it is also difficult for ordinary people to reach. From time to time, the mountain wind blows through, bringing up a few fallen leaves, giving this lonely cave in the mountains a desolate atmosphere.
Seeing Wuchen's disappearing figure, 'Li Xuan' slowly withdrew his gaze, came to sit cross-legged in front of the stone case, closed his eyes and meditated, and gradually entered that mysterious world again. What he had just seen were just fragments.
So at this time, he was eager to understand the mystery and solve the confusion in his heart.
His consciousness came to the Niwan Shrine again, and the mist was still billowing in front of him. The purple light around the air mass was hesitant, but those wonderful images no longer appeared.
After staring at it for a long time, he felt that the void was rippling, spreading to endless places like water waves. Just when 'Li Xuan' thought that the image was about to appear, he discovered that it turned out to be those densely packed tadpole texts. Disappointed, he couldn't help but read them carefully.
For a moment, I felt like I was entering a vast sea of smoke and clouds, vast and without cliffs. The content involved in it was mysterious, subtle, all-encompassing, and vast. The further you went, the more obscure and difficult it was to understand.
The opening chapter is called "Jin Dan Xuan Yao", and the title of "Li Xuan" involved in this chapter is also known as the volume of ascending to immortality; the middle chapter is called "Three Yuan Heart Mirror". Seeing this, 'Li Xuan' is a little bit
I don't know why. The title of the next chapter is "Baozhuan Tianzhang", which makes his head as big as a bucket and like falling into five fogs... After three chapters, there is another "General Guide to Taoism", which includes countless
Mysterious and eccentric Taoist techniques, formations, weapon techniques, escape techniques... although they are dazzling and complicated, they are concise and concise, much easier to understand than the three volumes of Xuan Jing. The more 'Li Xuan' read, the more enthusiastic he became, and he read the wonderful things.
At this point, I felt eager to try it out. Only then did my heart gradually calm down, and all the previous disappointments were forgotten.
There is a paragraph at the end of the Xuan Jing, which is roughly about the method of opening the brocade box. If you look closely, it is just a mantra. There is also a paragraph about the method of refining and using elixirs.
I don't know how long it had passed, but when 'Li Xuan' slowly opened his eyes, he felt a sense of hunger coming over him. He was about to play the flute when he saw a bamboo basket with food in it at the gate of the stream. Looking outside the cave, he still saw
The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, and I was a little surprised, "How could it be that this person must have been gone for a whole day!"
After eating a little bit of the food in the bamboo basket, 'Li Xuan' began to sort out the training steps of the "Golden Pill Xuan Yao" in his mind. Because this was the first step, he would always try to figure out any obscure and difficult points.
He spent a lot of effort on it, and would never give up until it was completely transparent. At this moment, he was deeply grateful to Wuchen. If he hadn't forced himself to read those boring Taoist scriptures all day long, he would not be able to do this.
At that time, I had nothing but no way to start. After some further study, I suddenly felt that there were many references in it, and it talked about the path of right and wrong. Every time there was a subtlety, everyone was excited. Along the way, I was fascinated by Li Xuan 7
I was mesmerized by it and obsessed with it... The cultivation system recorded in the "Jindan Xuanyao" is roughly consistent with what Wuchen said before. It also starts from "refining Qi", and goes through "Qi transformation", "Shen transformation", and "
There are several processes such as "Returning to the Void" and "Yuanzhao" to achieve the purpose of peeking into the way of heaven. However, the exquisiteness and subtleties are far beyond the imagination of Wuchen and others. It is recorded as follows:
The most basic and preliminary method during the Qi refining period is the "circulation method" that can strengthen the body and stimulate the human body's potential. At the beginning of the process, it focuses on refining the mind and cultivating the soul. The soul is spiritual and the soul is moving.
, Use the spirit to control the qi. Wherever the spirit goes, the qi also goes. When the spirit goes, the qi moves. Use the spirit to move the qi, instead of using the mind to control the qi. Wherever the spirit goes, the meridians will open automatically.
At this stage, people from the second line of Ren and Du pay attention to holding the Yuan and guarding it, refining and nourishing the Yuan essence, collecting the innate Hunyuan Qi, clearing the three passes and nine orifices, and then replenishing them in the day after tomorrow, then opening the Huangting Divine Gate, and returning to the innate nature.
.It is said in it that the Divine Gate is also called the Ming Gate or the Umbilical Gate. This innate gate has been closed since birth. If this gate can be reopened, the human body, mind, world, and world can be recreated, and people can steal the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth.
For its use, the exchange of internal and external true energy also occurs through this door; from now on, keep your mind centered and breathe continuously, as time goes by, the fetal breath will appear, and the vitality will be filled with itself. This body is already extraordinary, and naturally has some incredible supernatural powers.
Opening monuments and cracking stones, casting talismans and seals to recruit soldiers, rejuvenating old age and rejuvenating children is not a problem. Only at this point can we say that we can return to our true nature and get a first glimpse of the golden elixir avenue.
The Qi Transformation Stage: also known as the Golden Elixir Stage: refining the essence and transforming the swallow when the Divine Gate has been opened. Note: True Qi is in the person, not completely stored in the body. The human body is limited but naturally infinite. From the Divine Gate
After it is opened, there will be a channel for exchange between man and nature, which can become an elixir in the long run. At this time, if you use the Dharma to cross it, it will gather together and not break up, and the knot will become stronger.
Harmony, skin feels refreshed, and as the day progresses and at any time, it gradually condenses and gathers, no matter produces matter, and the holy embryo of power is formed, at this time, the alchemy path is completed.
From now on, it will be refined with seven returns and nine returns, returning to the origin and origin, tempering the elixir fire, and completing the golden elixir. Only at this point can one say, "My destiny is determined by me and not by God. It transcends the power of creation that is born and killed by God. I don't need any help from any method."
The device can drive all kinds of energy in the universe, emit thunder and lightning with every movement of its hands, and can travel between the five elements, summon gods and ghosts, and call for wind and rain.
There is a poem that goes: If you want to ensure the immortality of the Grain God, you must lay the foundation with the mysterious female. Once the golden chamber is filled with real gold, a bright pearl will never leave.
Transformation period: after the elixir power... Returning period: after the Yuan Shen appears... Yuanzhao period: after the Yuan Shen is stabilized... In this way, 'Li Xuan' studied the Mysterious Sutra every day in the cave, hungry and thirsty, after seven days
After a while, he finally understood the opening chapter thoroughly, and at the same time, he did not forget to add some things that he thought were useful. In this way, the original Alchemy Scripture was a bit different, but 'Li Xuan'
But he doesn't think so. In his opinion, what is useful is valuable. People cannot stick to what their ancestors left for hundreds of years. They still have to boldly try where there is room for improvement. For example, the fusion of yin and yang mentioned in the Alchemy Sutra.
Said, he didn't really agree with it. Here he added his own understanding of the word "yi". It is said that Tao creates one, and yin and yang are born. Others take the method of yin and yang, but he takes one yang, first one and then two or first.
Between two and one, he respected his own ideas!
Stretching, the brocade box on the stone table came into view. As he smiled, a spell was blurted out. As soon as he finished reciting, he saw three purple awns appear on the brocade box. With a "pop" sound, it opened by itself, and the
Before 'Li Xuan' could see clearly what was inside, a strange fragrance that penetrated the heart and lungs hit his nostrils, making people immediately clear and comfortable after smelling it. At this time, when he looked carefully, he saw something lying quietly inside the box.
An elixir the size of a grape is round and shiny. I think the strange fragrance comes from this elixir.
Seeing this, 'Li Xuan' didn't hesitate, gently pinched the elixir with two fingers, and put it into his mouth without hesitation. As soon as the elixir left, the box closed automatically and turned into a line of green smoke and dissipated in the air;'
Li Xuan' was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was probably because of the passage of time that once the sacred objects were separated, they would no longer have the power to support them.
When you take the elixir into your mouth, your mouth will be filled with fragrance, and it will instantly turn into a clear spring, as warm as cold, as mellow as cheese, and it will slide down in an instant. Your mouth will be full of fragrance, and your whole body will be happy, which is unprecedented; 'Li Xuan'
When I was complaining that I couldn't taste the taste, I felt my stomach was burning like fire and started to churn. I was stunned for a moment and knew that the power of the medicine was showing. I quickly raised my heart to the sky and followed the method contained in the Alchemy Sutra.
In the dark, Li Xuan only felt a stream of hot air rising from the Huangting of Dantian to meet the hot air staying in the chest and abdomen, and then moved inadvertently, passing through the central channel, through Yuzhen, Baihui, Yintang, Tanzhong,
Then he passed from Dantian to the perineum and Jiaji. For a while, the meridians were fully opened, and the skin, bones, flesh and internal organs were like nectar. Gradually, a little bit of true yang in his body grew stronger, like thunder and lightning, but his consciousness was gone.
Silence, total concentration, lingering, suddenly there was thunder in his head, and after a bang, a beam of light went straight into the top door in the void, shining down on the Huangting. In an instant, he only felt that the whole body was bright, his heart was empty and his belly was strong, and his vitality was self-generating;
The essence of life is condensed but not dispersed. Under the pull of the qi machine, the vitality moves internally, and a warm current slowly hovers in the Huangting Divine Chamber...
