Chapter 1: At the beginning of practice, five gods nourish the liver
The setting sun sets over the ancient plain, and there is a cold smoke at dusk. The head of the river is alone in sorrow, and the sun burns half of the sky.
The sky gradually darkens, the cool breeze gradually picks up, and the sunset glow dissipates, but the bustle of the day does not weaken because of the end of the day, but intensifies. In the city, in the streets and alleys, there are brothels, teahouses, and wine shops.
The lights in front of the store were gradually lit, and thousands of lights merged into a sea of light.
The sky in the store is boiling, the smoke of fireworks is strong, guests are chatting, laughing, and noisy, the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious, and the aroma of fine wine and food is floating out of the window... Far away outside the city, the roars of animals and birds are heard from time to time in the vast mountains and forests.
Breaking the silence, it spreads farther and farther until it disappears into silence.
Dusk passes quickly and darkness falls from the sky.
The wind and clouds change in the blink of an eye. The sun and the moon rise together, the stars appear together, the sky is hot and the moon is hot, and the snow falls in the sky.
Yuanzhou, Jingshi Mountain, somewhere deep in the clouds.
A white-haired old Taoist wearing five-color cloud clothes and a crown of five elders walked slowly out of the Taoist temple. The old Taoist had a childlike face and fair hair, and his eyes were like stars. He held a volume of "Huangji Jingshi" in his hand.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.
"The sky and the earth are like a canopy, covering so high a pole. The sun and the moon are like milling ants, coming and going without rest. The secrets of heaven are chaotic and difficult to predict, but this great change is unstoppable. I don't know that this is the end of everything.
It’s the beginning again…”
In Zuzhou, at the foot of Zouyi Mountain, there is the Holy Temple. The great Confucian, wearing a long-breasted Confucian robe, a high crown and a belt, with a pale face and three strands of long beard, put his hands on his back and looked up at the stars in the sky.
"The sky sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise from the ground. Humans send murderous intentions, and the world turns upside down. Troubled times are coming again. Human lives are like grass. I don't know how many people will die on the road. How many thousands of years, how many yuanhui, I don't know when it will end
…”
Juku Prefecture, Fengju Yumen. A figure is hidden in the smoke, wearing a robe, holding a turtle whisk. The voice is faint and indistinct. The divination chants: "There are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them will prosper. The five thieves are in the heart, and they will be executed.
In the sky, the stars change places, and the yin and yang push each other and change smoothly..."
…
The sky and the earth are vast, the clouds are gloomy, and the gluttonous wind is beating the snow. The snow is still fluttering and falling tirelessly, covering the sky and covering the earth. The earth is white, like a funeral. The wind howls sadly, like a song, paving the way for sleepless people.
Just a road leading to the unknown.
…
Twelve years later.
Xuanzhou, Xuanshu Territory, Difei Mountain.
The sky breaks and the morning sun rises.
At the junction of the sky and the earth, the few stars are still shining dimly, like a veil. The mist from last night has not dissipated yet, and it is diffuse, with a bit of moisture, covering the entire mountain.
The forest, under the illumination of the morning light, was filled with mist and haze. Scattered insects and birds chirped, faintly transmitted through the trees. Hundreds of chirps, the clearer and melodious they became.
At the foot of Difei Mountain, in the Qingya Valley, nearly ten thousand families live here. The land is flat, with tall trees, fertile fields and swamps, and the sound of chickens and dogs can be heard. There is no traffic, and the houses are scattered and the gray roof tiles are connected together.
.The smoke from the kitchen is diffused, swaying, rising, and finally melting into the mist.
At the entrance of the village, an old jujube tree that has grown for unknown ages stands quietly. The branches are twisted and twisted, the bark is raised, it is as old as dragon scales, and it is full of traces of time; the branches and leaves are as lush as a cover.
, covering a large shadow.
Next to the old jujube tree, stands a huge stone pillar that is as thick as two people can hug each other and is as high as five feet. The stone pillar is mottled and carved with mysterious patterns that are intertwined and intertwined. But after all, it is old and has become
Somewhat blurry and difficult to distinguish.
In the most conspicuous place, a tall figure riding a black tiger, wearing armor and holding a mace, walking on the water is engraved on it, with the surging waves behind it. Above the head of the towering figure, there is a huge star. The top of the stone pillar
On the upper part, there is also an ancient word "Kui" inscribed!
There are many stone pillars like this in the village. Counting them down, there are a total of 108.
Under the old jujube tree, there was a large bluestone. Lu Yu was wearing a gray thin shirt and sitting cross-legged on it. He was a little thin, with an ordinary face and a bit of childishness.
Lu Yu faced Chao Dun, with his eyes closed, his face solemn, and his hands making seals.
On the big rock, Lu Yu sat cross-legged with his back straight, his five hearts pointing toward the sky, and recited a blessing in a low voice: "The nine cauldrons ascend to the nine levels of the sky, and the first level of the initial stop is recited. Conquer the three souls of the Five-Tooth Baby, and ascend to the five gods of nature...
"The voice was low and almost inaudible. This formula is exactly the technique practiced by Lu Yu, the first level of the 'Nine Cauldrons Divine Refining Technique'.
The Jiuding Divine Refining Method originated from an ancient stone tablet in the village. No one knows how many years this stone tablet has existed, nor where it came from, nor why it appeared here. But the entire village became famous because of it.
They were gathered together and established. The Jiuding Divine Refining Technique obtained from it is also infinitely mysterious and mysterious. It is the most precious and profound technique in the entire village.
…
As the magic formula progressed step by step, a big cauldron slowly appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
The big cauldron is green in color, mottled with rust, but glowing with a little golden light, as if it is made of bronze. It has three legs and two ears, ancient and solemn, with various patterns engraved on it. Panhui pattern, cloud and thunder pattern, Taoqu pattern
Pattern... At the ears of the tripod, there are two Kui dragons entwined.
The great cauldron was floating and sinking in the void, surrounded by wind, rain and thunderclouds, and the sun, moon and stars were shining. The deep and rich sound of the cauldron sounded, like a Taoist shout, but also like a chant. It was like a yellow bell and a big Lu, deafening and intoxicating.
Lu Yu sat cross-legged quietly, breathing in and out while recalling the discussion related to cultivation explained by the village chief ‘Lu Wangzhi’.
The Tao is Qi. Qi is the root of the body. The path of cultivation is based on Qi. The beginning of practice is to obey Qi and cultivate the body.
"Fu Qi Jing Yi Lun" says: The complete body of the body is based on the internal organs; the essence of the spirit is the essence. Although the body is endowed with the five gods, it already has its image, and the body is weak and the energy is exhausted.
, which leads to withering and decay. Therefore, it must absorb the cloud teeth and irrigate the liquid, absorb the clouds and scenery to conceive the spirit, and protect its purity and beauty, and its appearance will remain in its decay...
Therefore, the first step in the path of 'cultivation', which is also the first state, is to accept the essence and nourish the internal organs. This state is also called the five gods state. The five gods are the human liver, lungs,
Heart, kidney, spleen and five internal organs.
Humans have five internal organs, so the cultivation of the Five Gods Realm is divided into five small steps.
The first small step in spiritual practice is to nourish the liver.
Take Qingya, drink Chaohua, and let it pass through the liver. This is the method of cultivation. Chaohua is the essence of the sun in the early morning; Qingya is the first bud of vegetation, or it can be said that it is free between heaven and earth.
The Qi of A and B Aoki.
Under the old tree, strands of thin to invisible wood air exuded vitality, slowly gathered together, and disappeared from Lu Yu's mouth and nose. Passing through the acupoint 'Magpie Bridge', passing through the 'Twelve-story Building',
After entering the body, part of it flows, rises, and is finally refined and absorbed in the liver; the other part fills the entire body, refining and nourishing every inch of flesh and blood.
This process is called taking the five qi, absorbing the qi to condense the essence, and maintaining the qi to refine the body. It is the initial method of cultivation.
"Huangtingyuan Body Sutra" also says: The liver is the energy of shock and the essence of wood. Its color is green and its spirit is like a green dragon. Therefore, only when you can cultivate the "green dragon spirit" in the liver in the body can it be completed.
The first small step of cultivation in the Five God Realm.
The last step of the five gods realm is the small realm of nourishing the kidneys. The kidneys are composed of qi and essence of water. Their color is black and their spirit is like a white deer. So when two white deer are raised in the two kidneys,
Can reach the perfection of the five gods realm.
When this state is complete, the Qi of the five internal organs can be stored and turn into five-color clouds, which are always on the top and cover the whole body.
There is a Dantian three inches below the navel of a person, which is responsible for the five elements and five colors. The Dantian is the root of a person, the origin of the five qi, and the gateway to harmony.
As the saying goes, the Five Elements are the root of creation. Heaven, earth, and people are all tangible and have numbers, and the numbers are limited to the Five Elements. Although people are born with Dantian, only when the five internal organs are complete and the Five Elements are ready, the Dantian can be stable and exist.
Use Qi to enter the next realm, the vitality realm.
This is the path of cultivation for practitioners.
There are three thousand paths to practice. They are all great roads and small roads.
There is a saying that "the heaven and the earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars." Another example is "I have read thousands of volumes, and my writing is like a spirit", "I am good at cultivating my majestic spirit".
Literati and Confucian scholars can also possess great supernatural powers and abilities.
A breath of majestic breath can pass through mountains and rivers, and a stroke of pen and ink can transform all phenomena in the world. In addition, there are also Buddhas, great witches, demons and ghosts who have practiced to the extreme, and they are also miraculous and unpredictable. They are all magical means.
…
Time passed suddenly, and before I knew it, the sun was already three feet high.
The mist has dispersed and the wind and dew have disappeared.
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, and an imperceptible flash of blue light flashed in his pupils. But he did not get up immediately, but still sat cross-legged on the big bluestone, loosened his hand seals, put his hands flat on his knees, and realized
Looking at the results of cultivation during this period.
Although he has not been practicing for a long time, Lu Yu can clearly feel that his body's energy, blood and energy are more abundant, and his perception of the external environment has also become more acute.
"Xiao Yu, take a rest, it's time to eat." A low and gentle voice came and rang in Lu Yu's ears. The village chief in a clean gray robe stood at the door of the yard and shouted to Lu Yu.
"After all, I am still a child, and my cultivation is a bit too much. But if it were done to me, I would do the same." The village chief, Lu Wangzhi, whispered to himself. But his eyes did not look at Lu Yu, but towards
Difei Mountain not far away has a profound look.
When Lu Yu heard the village chief's voice, he turned his head and glanced to the side. He replied dully, "I heard you, I'll be right back." Then he stood up slowly, stretched his body, and turned towards the small courtyard.
Go.
The village chief is now close to a hundred years old. He has never married and had children. He is alone. It can be said that he has devoted his life to the entire village. Even the courtyard is built at the entrance of the village to protect the entire village. And Lu Yu
He is an orphan with no father or mother, so he lives with the village chief. One old man and one young man depend on each other.
The village chief usually likes to wear a gray or cyan robe, with long gray hair simply held up by a wooden hairpin. He has a pale face and looks to be only forty or fifty years old, rather like a frail teacher.
Walking into the main room, Lu Yu sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
"How are you practicing?" The village chief looked at Lu Yu and asked.
"Very good." Lu Yu raised his head and glanced at the village chief, then lowered his head and replied vaguely while eating.
Although he could feel that this 'Nine Cauldron Divine Refining Technique' was not actually suitable for him. But he understood better that even if this technique had such shortcomings, for ordinary practitioners like Lu Yu,
, but it is already extremely precious.
After all, for the countless cultivators in the world, there are too many people who dream of such a method but cannot get it. Not to mention those ordinary people who have no way to seek the method, they can only look forward to it and sigh.
And if you want to get a skill that is truly suitable for you, you can do nothing more than worship in the Cave Heaven Paradise, a sect or a noble family tribe, etc., but this requires not only talent and strength, but also your own freedom and loyalty. Or,
It is a great opportunity to get an inheritance that suits you, but this is even more rare, no less than pie in the sky.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Yu does not want to join the sect family because he has more important things in his heart that he wants to accomplish.
The village chief glanced at Lu Yu indifferently and understood what he was thinking, and said nothing more.
After pondering for a while, he said: "I know you want to practice quickly, and I won't stop you. But you are already twelve years old, and you should understand that you should not be eager for quick success in practice. From now on, you can go to Difei Mountain for practice, but you are not allowed to do so.
Go to the top of the mountain. After dinner, go to the center of the village to learn the 'Five Gods' Technique' with your Uncle Honghe." After saying that, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked out slowly.
Lu Yu paused for a moment without raising his head. While eating, he said, "I understand. I'll be there right away after eating."
