Since Jiang Ziya didn't want to accept Yang Tuo as his disciple, Yang Tuo had no choice but to think about it silently to see if there was any other way.
After several days of thinking, Yang Tuo finally came up with a solution. Since the right path was not possible, he had no choice but to avoid other paths.
Another day passed, counting the time for Jiang Ziya to go home, and before Jiang Ziya returned home, Yang Tuo came to Jiang Ziya's house first.
"Dong dong dong" There was a knock on the door, and the door opened. A woman in her sixties stretched out her head and saw a young man standing at the door with a smile on her face. She asked, "Who are you?"
,I don’t know what’s wrong?”
Yang Tuo knew that this person was Jiang Ziya's wife, Ma, so he replied: "Disciple Yang Tuo, I want to see Mr. Jiang if I have something!"
Ma said: "He went out this morning and hasn't come back yet. What do you want to see him for?"
Yang Tuodao: "This disciple wants to become Mr. Jiang's disciple. In the past few days, Mr. Jiang has never agreed. Today, I bring the heirloom left by my ancestors and come to offer it in the hope that I can become Mr. Jiang's disciple."
When Ma heard this, he was stunned and thought to himself: "Is there anyone else who wants to worship that old man as his teacher? That old man can't do anything. Recently, he went to Chaoge to open a life shop and not many people came." He also heard that Yang Tuonai said:
Bringing the treasures handed down from his ancestors, he came to be a disciple, and he immediately became very enthusiastic. He said, "I think he will be back soon. Why don't you wait for him in the courtyard?"
Yang Tuo bowed and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you. What do you call me, madam?"
Ma said: "I am Jiang Ziya's wife, you can call me Mrs. Ma."
Yang Tuo said again: "Disciple has met Madam!"
Then Yang Tuo followed Mr. Ma to the courtyard and waited for Jiang Ziya. Yang Tuo said: "I have begged Mr. Jiang several times, but he never agreed. Today, I am here with my family heirloom. I hope that Mr. Jiang will appreciate my sincerity."
, take me in!"
As he said that, Yang Tuo took out his own glass. This glass was used by Yang Tuo to drink water when he was studying at school. On his way back to his dormitory, he wandered into this world of gods with only one piece of clothing and a few useless items.
Things, and this drinking cup. Now that a few months have passed, the clothes have been damaged, and some small items have been exchanged for money, food, and a place to live. The only thing left at this time is this glass, which is what he and
The only connection to the future. Now, in order to become a disciple, he had to use this glass to pretend to be an ancestral treasure.
Yang Tuo said: "This is my ancestral treasure, called: crystal glass cup." After saying that, he handed the glass over, and then said: "I hope Madam can help me persuade Sir to get me in. I am grateful.
Not enough!"
Ma took the glass and saw that the object was completely transparent and crystal clear. When it was exposed to the sun, it shone brightly. He thought to himself: "It is indeed a treasure, of extraordinary value!"
"You idiot Jiang Ziya has such a treasure, what can he do if he accepts you as an apprentice?" After thinking about it, he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely persuade him to accept you."
Yang Tuo saw that Ma was greedy for money and knew that the plan had been completed. He was overjoyed and paid homage to Ma: "Thank you, madam!"
After a while, Jiang Ziya returned home and saw his wife and Yang Tuo in the courtyard. He knew that Yang Tuo had come to apprentice again, so he said, "I have already said that you and I have no relationship between master and disciple, so why force it?"
Yang Tuo bowed and said, "I am a sincere apprentice and have persevered. I hope that Sir will be merciful and accept me as my disciple!" As he spoke, his eyes turned to Ma. Seeing this, Ma said: "Ziya, you see how sincere this kid is, so just accept him."
Let’s get him, I think he’s pretty good too!”
Jiang Ziya shook his head and said: "It's true, but he and I really don't have a master-disciple relationship!"
Seeing that Jiang Ziya still didn't let go, Yang Tuo looked at Ma again. When Ma saw that Jiang Ziya wouldn't take it away, the treasure in his hand was about to fly away, and he suddenly became unhappy and said: "What's fate or not? I'll be happy when I see this child."
Yes, besides, I have accepted his apprenticeship gift. Today, you have to accept it or not." After saying that, he snorted.
Jiang Ziya was stunned when he heard this and said, "Return the gift of apprenticeship to him! I really can't accept it." When Ma heard this, he thought to himself: "How can this crystal glass cup be returned, such a treasure?" So he said:
"If you don't back out, I've accepted the apprenticeship gift. It's up to you to decide!"
Jiang Ziya tried to persuade him again and again, but Ma just shook his head. Seeing this, Jiang Ziya had no choice but to see Yang Tuo prostrating himself on the ground. He thought in his heart, this boy is so sincere, I might as well teach him some techniques, and when he returns to his roots in the future, he will be the same.
It was a good relationship. So he sighed and said: "Get up. We really have no relationship between master and disciple. But now that the old woman has accepted your family heirloom, I will teach you some Taoism in return."
, we fellow Taoists are worthy of each other and seek the great path together, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yang Tuo said, "You have gone through so much trouble, but you are still unwilling to accept me as a disciple. You only teach a few rudimentary methods. How can you one day become an immortal and attain enlightenment in the future?" He was not very happy in his heart.
Seeing that Yang Tuo didn't answer, Jiang Ziya knew what he was thinking. So he said: "Although I have a disciple in my destiny, it is not you. The destiny cannot be violated. If you don't want to, then leave!"
Yang Tuo saw that Jiang Ziya said that there was nothing he could do about it, but he could finally learn some Taoism. Now that he had the foundation to settle down, there would always be other ways in the future. As long as he could cultivate the immortal Tao, everything else would not matter. So he responded: "Yes."
, I’m willing, I’d like to thank the Taoist Master!”
Jiang Ziya accepted Yang Tuo's three bows, asked him to stand up, and said: "Don't worry, although you are not my disciple, since I have accepted you, I will teach you with all my heart!"
Hearing this, Yang Tuo felt relieved. At this time, when Ma saw Jiang Ziya agreeing to Yang Tuo's request, and knowing that the crystal glass cup could not escape, Ma was also happy in her heart, and felt a little better towards Jiang Ziya.
Ma said, "Everyone is happy now. You guys can talk slowly here, and I'll go cook." After saying that, Ma left.
Yang Tuo was standing next to Jiang Ziya at this time, a little at a loss. Jiang Ziya said: "Since I have agreed to you, I will teach you the method today. What do you want to learn?"
Yang Tuo knew the important point was coming, so he said: "This disciple has admired the immortal way since he was a child, and hopes that the Taoist Master can teach me the method of immortality."
Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "Becoming an immortal is easy. I joined the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun and practiced Taoism in Kunlun Mountain for forty years, but I still haven't achieved immortality. How dare you think about it!"
Yang Tuo didn't answer after hearing this, he just smiled.
When Jiang Ziya saw this, he didn't say much and said, "In that case, I will teach you the method. As for whether you can become an immortal or not, it's up to you."
As he spoke, he sat down on the side and began to explain the immortal way in detail: "Immortals are divided into five levels: heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts.
However, among the five categories, ghosts and immortals are one of the lower ranks of the five immortals. They are detached in the underworld, the gods are unknown, the ghost gates have no surnames, and the three mountains are nameless. Although they do not enter reincarnation, it is difficult to return to Pengying, and they have nowhere to return.
It is the lowest form of cultivation.
Immortals hold the power of heaven and earth, receive offerings from living beings, and practice incense and vows. However, once they have achieved this, they must be limited to this. It can be said that success is incense, and failure is incense. One day, no one will worship, and they will be abandoned by all living beings.
Will surely fall from the altar.
Human immortals enter Taoism through martial arts, cultivate Qi, Blood and Golden Pills, and become holy physically. Although they are not good at comprehending the secrets of heaven, nor are they good at cultivating Taoism, they can fight against the heaven and earth with their divine power, which can be said to be amazing fighting power.
There are also two immortals of heaven and earth, the heavenly immortals, who absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, invade the essence of the sun and the moon, and absorb the light and spiritual energy of heaven, and cultivate the soul. The earth immortals absorb the energy of the five elements of the earth, and cultivate
It is the Nascent Soul. But the sky is clear and the earth is turbid. The immortals of the solid heaven always reside in the nine heavens, and the immortals of the earth always live on the banks of the mountains and rivers!"
However, among the immortals, only the heavenly immortals are the great path and can directly realize the Hunyuan. Although the rest can live forever, none of them have finally achieved the Hunyuan.
Jiang Ziya continued: "And I, who have received the true inheritance of Yuanshi Tianzun, follow the righteous path of heavenly immortals. Just because you don't join my Yuxu sect, I won't be able to teach you Yuxu's method and Yuanshi Baolu."
"However, in the past, the Taoist ancestors became Taoists. They preached the Tao in Zixiao Palace and spread it to the world. Naturally, the Taoism was also passed down. Many casual practitioners in the world practiced this method."
"A Taoist must first nourish his essence, practice his qi, and preserve his spirit, then harmonize the dragon and the tiger, catch obstacles and fill in the gaps, and finally the five qi move toward the yuan, and the three flowers gather at the top. The way of the immortals like us is to have the five qi move toward the yuan,
In the Purple Mansion, the soul becomes a scattered immortal. This is a scattered number and does not enter the true flow. At this time, the soul is pure yin, and the yin god is called again. When the yin and yang of the soul are born, a little purity is born in the soul.
The Qi of Yang can be called the True Immortal at this time, and it is the Pure Yang True Immortal. When the Yuan Shen is perfected and transformed into the Yang God, it can be called the Golden Immortal at this time, and it is the Immortal Golden Immortal. Above these three, there are
Taiyi Realm, Daluo Realm and Hunyuan Realm. Master Yuanshi Tianzun is the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, also known as the Saint."
Following Jiang Ziya's explanation, Yang Tuo gradually gained some understanding of cultivating immortality and practicing qi.
Until the evening, when the moon was over the starry sky. After sorting out the knowledge in his mind, Yang Tuo found that Jiang Ziya had already returned to the house, and he was the only one still in the courtyard. Yang Tuo was so excited after receiving the teaching that he sat on the ground in the courtyard regardless of the place.
Start practicing.
Humans have three upper, middle and lower Dantians. Although they can all store mana, they are slightly more focused. Among them, the lower Dantian is used to practice essence, the middle Dantian is used to train Qi, and the upper Dantian is used to train spirit.
Yang Tuo adjusted his breathing according to the method, and slowly calmed down. Between exhalations and inhalations, he slowly adjusted his body. This was to nourish the essence, and was intended to cast the foundation, lay the foundation, and prepare for the second step of Qi training.
Yang Tuo slowly adjusted his body between exhalations and inhalations to make up for the shortcomings of his body during the past few days.
When Yang Tuo woke up, it was already late at night. Seeing that the house was closed, he thought that Jiang Ziya and his wife had already rested, so he didn't bother him, so he bowed to thank Jiang Ziya for teaching him. Then he sat down to practice again in the bedroom.
Jiang Ziya, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and then fell into meditation again.
The next day, Jiang Ziya asked Yang Tuo to move in with him so that he could be taught nearby. Yang Tuo readily agreed, and he had no luggage, so he moved directly over and lived in a side room in Jiang Ziya's courtyard.
