Chapter 11 'Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record' (Thanks to the leader @'Confused Aye')
The reason why Jin An stayed at this inn was.
It's because this inn has a backyard, and there is a private courtyard in the backyard.
Although the single-family house is not big, it is better than living alone in terms of purity and privacy.
Of course, the room rate for one day is not cheap either.
Jin An bought the goat and asked the boy to take it to his yard later. He couldn't wait to go back to Duyuan to see what was in the baggage left by the Taoist priest in five-colored robes.
inside the room.
Light a few candles and illuminate the room brightly.
Jin An unpacked the cloth bag layer by layer. Inside was a new Taoist robe, a thread-bound book with a torn cover, a scroll of bamboo slips, and a jade butterfly.
""Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record"?" Looking at the words on the cover of the thread-bound book, Jin An's eyes were filled with joy.
really!
Indeed, as he suspected, this relic is the Taoist priest he met in the mountains a few days ago!
Fortunately, Jin'an has done research on traditional Chinese characters. Although some rare characters look a bit difficult, it does not affect the overall interpretation.
This "Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record" was written by a Taoist practitioner named Guangping Sanren.
This Quang Binh San was once just a farmer. His family was poor and he was illiterate.
But one day, because he was too tired, he accidentally fell asleep in the field.
When he woke up, he found that he had become the master of a Taoist temple thousands of miles away, with more than a dozen disciples in the audience, and two Taoist boys following him.
He cared about his parents, wife and children, so he left the Taoist temple behind, traveled over mountains and rivers, used water to save people, killed bandits and bullies, traveled through mountains, poisonous swamps, and desert no-man's land...
When he finally found his relatives, he had become a centenarian from a young Taoist priest.
My parents at home have long since passed away.
The wife and son also went to seek refuge with relatives, but their whereabouts were unknown.
He knelt in front of his parents' graves, feeling sad from the bottom of his heart. He cried and fell asleep in front of his parents' graves. When he woke up, he found that he had become the young farmer he was before. There were cicadas and frogs croaking in the fields.
The long period of time that happened in the dream was just a dream.
He only slept for half an hour.
But the scenes I experienced in the dream are still vivid in my mind. The originally illiterate farmer is familiar with the astrology and the Book of Changes, and is a master of Taoist classics.
So the farmer threw down his farm tools, ran home and spent all his money, writing down all the scenes he experienced in his dream.
Mountains, rivers.
Herbal medicine, geography.
Ore, property.
Sacrifice, witch doctor.
Folk customs, strange things.
Taoism, Fu Shui.
With the power of one person, he wrote a masterpiece that has been passed down for hundreds of years. He called himself Guangping Sanren and became a magical figure widely circulated among Taoists.
However, because the masterpiece written by this Guangping Sanren involved too much of the country's lifeline, he was worried that it would be used by foreigners. Therefore, when the Kangding State was established, all popular versions were taken away and private circulation among the people was strictly prohibited.
Unexpectedly, a copy was circulated in front of him, and Jin An was surprised.
He thought carefully, this "Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record" is not the "Book of Mountains and Seas", but the "Youshuo" in his hand records mountains, rivers, geography, legends, strange things, and folk customs.
Synaesthesia records and other records are all records that are not important to the officials.
What the officials really want to destroy is Zuo Shuo.
"Zuo Shuo" records in detail the ores, products, Taoist magic, talismans, sacrifices, witch doctors, Taoist alchemy, etc. It involves saltpeter, sulfur, gunpowder secrets, and Vulcan cannon casting methods.
"You Shuo" is like a text, it has nothing to do with the fundamentals.
"Zuo Shuo" is like a force that shakes the foundation of the country.
Jin An also finally understood why Taoist priests in five-color robes had "Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record", which was obviously a forbidden book that was prohibited from private circulation among the people.
"You Shuo" does not harm the overall situation for the officials, and they will not really take it too seriously. It is understandable that fish slip through the net occasionally.
Stay up late and read at night.
Jin An also finally found the "qi-gazing technique" mentioned by the five-color Taoist priest.
He found it in a biography of a "stone figurine Taoist priest".
This article is very interesting. It tells about an old Taoist priest who built a Taoist temple on the mountain. But when he was looking for someone to build a mountain road, for some unknown reason, the mountain road was destroyed by landslides as soon as it was built. Several times in a row
Later, the Taoist priest was willing to sit on the fossil figurine and ordered his disciples to bury him in the mountain.
The result is really amazing. Since then, the mountain road that had never been built has been successfully built surprisingly smoothly. The mountain road leads from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, allowing the mountain people in the mountains to use this mountain road to have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.
The scattered people in Guangping passed by this mountain and met the stone figurines of old Taoist priests who were washed out by mudslides. The old Taoist stone figurines said that the ancestors of the people in the mountain were a group of robbers who fled into the mountains to avoid encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers. Because they had done too many evil things, the sky
The old Taoist priest couldn't bear to let these people perish, so he was willing to sit down and use his own merit to atone for the sins of these sinners.
This time he was rushed out by the mudslide because he became the cornerstone for thousands of people. His merits were perfect, he was finally liberated, and he taught the "Qi-Wang Technique" to the three people in Guangping.
Jin An admired and marveled after reading it.
There are actually such Taoist priests in this world who are so sacrificial for others.
Next, Jin An picked up the scroll of bamboo slips. The bamboo slips seemed to have been specially treated to be waterproof and insect-proof. The color was rather antique, and there was a light fragrance in his hand. It seemed to have the effect of repelling insects?
The bamboo slips are very heavy in the hand, weighing more than ten kilograms.
"?"
Jin An had an epiphany. Is this the origin of the term endorsement?
""The Five Zang Secret Sutra"?"
Jin An was overjoyed after reading it. He finally found the Taoist secret technique of this world.
Practice Qi!
This is the realm recorded in the "Five Zang Secret Sutra".
The Secret Sutra of the Five Internal Organs is a Taoist practice method.
Taoism is divided into one righteousness, Quanzhen Tao, etc.
This Taoist practice method comes from a small branch of the Zhengyi sect, called Wu Zang Taoism. It is easy to understand and does not belong to the orthodox stream of the Taoism.
But Jin An didn't care about this.
Wake up.
Where is he now?
If he didn't choose the technique, he would already be burning incense.
The Secret Sutra of the Five Internal Organs uses the Taoist technique of breathing in and out, eating the Qi of heaven and earth, and cultivating the Qi of the five internal organs, thereby strengthening the body and making the ears and eyes clear.
People are divided into five internal organs.
Just like the five generals sitting in the atrium, they are precisely operating the vitality of the human body, and life is endless.
The five internal organs are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
Corresponds to the five elements of Taoism.
Wood is opposite to the liver.
Fire to the heart.
Earth is opposite to the spleen.
Metal is good for the lungs.
Water to the kidneys.
The five elements generate each other, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, endless generation, endless cycle.
It sounds very cowhide, like a matryoshka doll, one set after another.
But here’s the problem. Training the five internal organs at the same time is like practicing the five mental methods at the same time. The difficulty, energy, and resources are five times that of others.
The time investment spent is also five times that of others.
Moreover, in order to maintain the delicate balance between the five elements and the five internal organs, the effort invested is even greater, and even the progress of practice is not only five times slower...seven times, but even ten times may not be possible.
