Chapter 6: The Great Dao's Beginner Cultivation Through Nine Orifices
"At the beginning of the road, the nine orifices were opened. The nine orifices were originally located at the Weilu point. They first rushed from the soles of Yongquan's feet. The Yongquan rushed up gradually to the knees, passed the knees and slowly reached the taillu. The top of the mud pill whirled sharply. The Golden Suoguan passed down.
Magpie Bridge, Chonglou Twelve Down Palace Rooms..."
Returning to the fire room, Lin Qingxuan memorized the Dao Song while getting into his room, which also served as a woodshed.
Although it was crowded and dirty, Lin Qingxuan sat directly at the foot of the bed next to a pile of messy firewood. His eyes were bright and he was already immersed in the Tianyan Mirror, absorbing Sun Buer's cultivation experience and the Quanzhen Dao Song.
This is the comprehensive Xuan Gong that is the introduction to Quanzhen Sect’s foundation building.
At first, Lin Qingxuan didn't pay much attention to Quanzhen. He only regarded it as a martial arts. After a few years, he went down the mountain to look for martial arts that he could throw away when the opportunity came.
However, after truly practicing the Quanzhen Superior Mental Technique for a period of time and experiencing its profoundness, Lin Qingxuan came to understand more and more how profound the Quanzhen sect's mysterious skills were, and he could not help but respect Wang Chongyang, the founder of the sect.
After a while, after absorbing Sun Buer's understanding and experience of the Quanzhen Dao Song, Lin Qingxuan basically had a clear understanding of the Quanzhen Dao Song. At the same time, he also understood the aspects of Ma Yu's experience that he could not fully comprehend.
Quanzhen Daoge is said to be the introductory mental method of Quanzhen religion. In fact, this set of exercises alone can be practiced endlessly for decades, because it itself is a superior Taoist true skill. It has a hundred sentences in it.
There are also introductory boxing techniques, introductory palm techniques, introductory leg techniques, introductory body techniques, etc. that are coordinated with the mind method.
Therefore, this martial arts is actually a comprehensive martial arts, which is most suitable for laying the foundation.
Lin Qingxuan compared it carefully and felt that the Dao Song was somewhat similar to the "Tai Xuan Jing" of Xiake Island. A few sentences are a separate part. When combined, it is a very comprehensive Taoism that directly points to the realm of the first-class masters in the world.
The difference between Xuan Gong and Xuan Gong is that it is not as advanced as Tai Xuan Jing.
If it is not compared with the four most essential martial arts in the sect, namely, the Twenty-Four Golden Guan Jade Lock Techniques, the Frost-breaking Ice Palm, the Tiangang Beidou Formation, and the One Qi Transformation of the Three Pure Ones, how can it be regarded as an introductory martial arts given its advanced level?
The three generations of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect have difficulty in penetrating the mysteries and mastering the essence by only practicing Quanzhen Daoge and Quanzhen Sword Technique. Therefore, few people in the subsequent sect practice the Xuan Gong. Once they encounter a master, they can only use the Tiangang Beidou Formation.
To defend against the enemy, it seems that Quanzhen's martial arts are shallow and not worth mentioning.
Decades later, Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping were the first in martial arts among the three generations of disciples. Their cultivation skills were not enough to practice advanced martial arts. They always relied on Quanzhen swordsmanship to defend against enemies, and the Quanzhen Seven Disciples rarely took action.
The secret skills of the Jiao Zhen sect have never been shown before.
Now that Lin Qingxuan has Ma Yu's cultivation experience and Sun Bu'er's cultivation experience, he naturally has a deep understanding of the Quanzhen Daoge, and he also wants to understand why the three generations of Quanzhen disciples have failed to achieve success.
Quanzhen Daoge is the foundation practice of Quanzhen disciples. It is a Taoist mystical skill that can be connected with the twenty-four techniques of Jinguan Yusuo. Lin Qingxuan has Ma Yu’s experience and blessing and only practices the twenty-four techniques of Jinguan Yusuo. Although he is progressing very quickly
, but because the foundation part of the Quanzhen Dao Song is missing, Ma Yu’s experience cannot be fully absorbed and copied. It can be said that only 80% of it is used.
After absorbing the cultivation experience of Zhen Dao Ge, the combination of the two can finally overcome the last hurdle of the twenty-four techniques of Jin Guan Jade Lock. It will naturally be more effective and faster to practice in the future.
He knew that the Quanzhen Dao Song and the Twenty-Four Jin Guan Yu Suo Jue were of the same origin, and that the Jin Guan Yu Suo Twenty Four Jue was only a superior internal skill, while the Quanzhen Dao Song included martial arts such as fists, kicks, and body movements, which was exactly what he needed.
So Lin Qingxuan hid in the woodshed and first silently practiced the mental skills of Dao Ge. Then he quietly performed a fist and palm kung fu with extremely standard movements, and also used all the steps and body skills while spinning and leaping.
Although it was his first time practicing, with the support of Sun Buer's experience, Lin Qingxuan's movements were standard and proficient, but he lacked actual combat experience, and his palm and fist strength were also weak due to too little practice.
At this moment, Lin Qingxuan had finally learned the Quanzhen Dao Song and fully mastered the Twenty-Four Golden Guan Jade Lock Techniques.
Sitting down and recalling the experience of practicing boxing, the experiences and insights of the two experts began to be integrated.
After a while, the two second-generation disciples of the Quanzhen Sect learned the Quanzhen Dao Song and the Twenty-four Techniques of the Golden Guan and the Jade Lock, and finally absorbed them all in Lin Qingxuan's mind.
Ma Yu's most profound insights into the two mysterious arts also appeared in his mind, and this insight was what he gained from this ten-day retreat.
"My Quanzhen Dao Song was created by my ancestor, and is intended to lay the foundation for my true disciples to get started. However, the mental method is broad and profound, and it is only after long-term practice that I realize that it is actually unfathomable. Only after decades of cultivation and experience by a poor Taoist can I understand the full meaning of my Dao Song.
In the first sentence of the Song of the True Dao, the Patriarch points out the foundation of cultivation——
At the beginning of the Great Dao, the nine orifices were opened, and the nine orifices were originally located at the Weilu point.
The eyes, ears, nose and mouth are the upper seven orifices, and the front and rear stools and mouth are the lower two orifices. The Nei Jing says that the nine orifices are the Qi injected by water. What is the Qi injected by water? It is the Qi orifice that connects the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
How to penetrate the nine orifices? Just open up the two channels of Ren and Du that connect the nine orifices.
When I was practicing, I only paid attention to the second half of this sentence. I walked on the gushing spring at the tail gate, but I forgot that the tail gate is the master of the governor channel. The nine orifices are originally at the tail gate point. The perineum is the end of the Ren channel.
The two meridians pass through the nine orifices, and the lowest orifice should be at the Weilu point.
The so-called opening up the nine orifices means opening up the Ren and Du meridians, and if you start from the Weilu point to open up the two meridians, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
If the two branches of Ren and Du are connected, he will already be the first-class expert in the world. However, in Quanzhen Xuan Gong, it is only the first step in the cultivation of the great path. When the ancestor did not teach us the innate skills, it was because of my senior fellow apprentices.
The seven people are ignorant of the nine apertures and have no chance to reach the Dharma.
Practice in accordance with the two mental methods, and when the true energy in the body grows and grows on its own, follow the twenty-four techniques of Jin Guan Yu Suo to penetrate the meridians, one by one, one by one, one by one, and start over and over again. Finally, you will have deep internal energy and superb Xuan Gong.
The two meridians of Ren and Du are naturally connected, thus prolonging life and making the mind relaxed and peaceful.
The Patriarch once said that if you don’t practice until the Qi moves through all the acupoints, and your mind is satisfied, you cannot appreciate the essence of our Quanzhen Xuan Gong. Now it seems that if the Qi moves through all the acupoints, and your mind is satisfied, it is a symbol of opening up the Rendu and Du meridians, and all mysteries all over the body.
…”
Lin Qingxuan only now understands Ma Yu's experience, and also knows that the Quanzhen Dao Song and the Golden Guan Yusuo Twenty-Four Techniques step-by-step cultivation, combined with the two, will not require much hard work to open up the Ren and Du channels in the future.
Before Lin Qingxuan practiced Quanzhen Daoge, although he was introduced to the inner strength, he had no foundation. Every time he practiced several key acupuncture points, they were always different from the exercises and Ma Yu's experience and understanding. Now that he looked at it, he completely understood it.
What is missing is the basic training from the Yongquan point of Quanzhen Daoge. Only by practicing this foundation can Quanzhen teach martial arts and Xuan Gong have a foundation.
Now Lin Qingxuan finally understands that the foundation of Quanzhen disciples is from the bottom up from the soles of their feet, so compared to other sects in the world, a solid foundation is the first priority.
Lin Zhixuan suddenly remembered that when Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan competed in drinking at the Zuixian Tower in Jiaxing, the wine Qiu Chuji drank was forced out of his feet. It can be seen that it was because he started practicing Xuan Gong from Yongquan Point.
Looking at the senior martial arts masters from hundreds of years ago, those who can use their internal strength to force alcohol are either the top masters or the chosen ones who have practiced magical skills.
Duan Yu used the Six Meridians Divine Sword to force the wine out of his fingers. Naturally, he relied on the power of magical power. Qiu Chuji's ability to force the wine out of his fingers may not necessarily be the inner power of the Xuan Gong. I'm afraid it is also because the Quanzhen Xuan Gong passed down by Wang Chongyang came from the soles of the feet.
The reason why I started practicing Quan Point is also because I borrowed the benefits of Xuan Gong.
