Seeing Li Yundong looking at the book in his hand with doubts on his face, Ziyuan smiled and said: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic is China's first medical work. It describes in detail the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, the pulse theory, and the meridians.
theory, the theory of health preservation, and the theory of luck. You can find your answers to the questions I just asked you in this book."
The look on Li Yundong's face was still strange. He felt that this feeling was like: someone told you that there are gods in this world, and then he pointed it out, and you were horrified to find that the urban management aunts wearing red armbands who could be seen everywhere on the roadside turned out to be
This is what this man calls a god!
This is too exaggerated!
Li Yundong couldn't help but ask: "Don't you also say that this is a medical book? How can it be the supreme book of spiritual practice?"
Ruan Hongling on the side finally caught another opportunity and said with all her strength: "Idiot, idiot, haven't you heard of the saying that the Tao is manifested by medicine, and medicine carries the Tao?"
Li Yundong glanced at her: "I haven't heard of it, but I have heard the saying that it is difficult to raise a woman and a villain!"
Ruan Hongling screamed in anger, pulled Ziyuan's arm, pointed at Li Yundong, and said angrily: "Sister Ziyuan, look at us helping him with good intentions, and he still says such things!"
Ziyuan glanced at her helplessly and said, "Can't you two calm down for a while?"
With that said, Ziyuan explained to Li Yundong in detail: "You must find it incredible, why is such a medical book regarded as the supreme Taoist book by the spiritual practice community?"
Li Yundong nodded.
Ziyuan said: "Do you know the origin of our practice school?"
Li Yundong shook his head.
Ziyuan said: "As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Laozi founded Taoism with the Tao Te Ching. This school of thought spread to the Eastern Han Dynasty and gradually formed a religion. Among them, Zhang Ling was the main one who believed in Laozi's Taoism.
Then he founded Taoism, which is the origin of the Taoist practice sect in the world."
Li Yundong suddenly realized: "Ah, I know, it's the Five Pecks of Rice Sect!"
Ziyuan said: "Yes, but do you know how Zhang Ling founded Taoism in the first place, and how he made many people believe in him and worship him?"
Li Yundong's heart moved: "Practice medicine?"
Ziyuan nodded slightly: "That's right! This is how the Tao is manifested by medicine, and medicine is used to convey the Tao! Although there are thousands of practicing methods, and any one of them can become an immortal or a god if practiced to the extreme, but the fastest one can become an immortal or a god.
There are only two methods, one is medicine, and the other is..."
Li Yundong didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and quickly added: "The other one is martial arts!"
Ziyuan glanced at Li Yundong with admiration: "That's right! Medicine is used to convey the Tao, and martial arts is used to defend the Tao! You must make the world respect you, fear you, and dare not offend you. If you are not strong in martial arts, it will never work. But let
The world loves you, believes in you, and worships you. This cannot be achieved by force alone. This can only be achieved by practicing medicine and doing good deeds!"
Li Yundong said, and he suddenly felt that all the things the little fox had told him before suddenly came together: "No wonder the little girl said that Sun Simiao is an immortal! It turns out that he really became a Taoist through medicine! Then Sun Lutang has also become an immortal.
?”
Ziyuan said: "Yes, Hutou Shaobao Sun Lutang's practice in martial arts has reached its peak, and he naturally entered Taoism and turned to practice to become an immortal."
Li Yundong slapped his forehead: "No wonder when the Five Dou Rice Sect was founded, they helped people see doctors for free. It turned out to be this reason. I thought they were trying to buy people's hearts and usurp power!"
After saying that, Li Yundong asked puzzledly: "Since it is about practicing medicine and doing good deeds, why can't you do good things to the end, and why do you have to pay five buckets of rice before you can join the religion?"
Ziyuan said: "For practitioners, the Dharma is the first, and wealth is the second. If you don't have money, then you don't have to think about practice at all. This principle is the same as the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts. The poor cannot learn martial arts.
, only rich people can practice martial arts, because practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy from the human body, and only rich people can make up for these losses through various foods and medicinal materials. This is even more true for spiritual practice, which consumes even a hundred times as much money as practicing martial arts."
Li Yundong thought of the poorest days when he and the little girl were the poorest, and nodded with sadness: "This is indeed true, but since the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic is sold everywhere, why don't people come to practice it?"
Ziyuan sighed softly and said: "As the old saying goes: The human body is rare, but the true Dharma smells bad! When Huang Di asked his teacher for advice, his master would definitely ask him to fast and bathe, and he would have to be respectful to teach him the Tao.
But that was in ancient times, when there was a lack of information and resources, but we are living in modern times, where massive information and explosive knowledge resources make you lose sight of the true Dharma and the real avenue."
Ziyuan stared at Li Yundong and asked: "The real knowledge of the Great Dao is by your side. For example: Why do you say you close your eyes and rest your mind, but not open your eyes and rest your mind? Why do you say buy things, but not buy north and south? Why do Chinese characters
It talks about essence, blood essence, sperm, and essence essence, but not Qi essence, blood essence, sperm essence, and Yuan essence?”
This series of questions stopped Li Yundong again, and he smiled bitterly: "When you said that, I suddenly felt like an illiterate."
Ziyuan smiled slightly: "These are the knowledge on the great road. The so-called great road is under your feet. You step on it without noticing its existence. This is true for you as the heir of the golden elixir, let alone those who are usually busy.
What about ordinary people living in the city? We practitioners must always ask why when we see things, because only by understanding the reasons can you practice without hindrance."
"After reading this book, can I understand the issues you mentioned?" Li Yundong asked.
Ziyuan nodded and said: "Not only that, you will also understand the mystery of the human body, the laws and truths between heaven and earth, and then you will understand what cultivation is all about."
Li Yundong's face showed a thoughtful look. He pressed the "Huangdi Neijing" with both hands. For the first time, he felt that this book was so heavy.
After a while, Li Yundong nodded and said: "I understand, then I'll go back and read first." He turned to leave, but suddenly stood motionless again, with an embarrassed look on his face. After a while, he
He turned around and said in a very embarrassed tone, "I don't have any money with me."
Ruan Hongling, who had been silent all this time, burst into laughter and rolled her eyes at Li Yundong: "What kind of business can you do without money!"
"Hongling!" Ziyuan drank in a low voice, and then said softly to Li Yundong, "Just read and read with peace of mind, don't worry about other things, don't think about it, I will help you solve it."
Li Yundong looked at Ziyuan with complicated eyes. He was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Why did you help me?"
Ziyuan also looked at Li Yundong and said, "Because I want to find an answer from you."
Li Yundong asked: "What's the answer?"
Ziyuan smiled slightly and shook her head: "If you don't understand even if I tell you, don't ask. In short, I won't harm you."
Li Yundong thought for a while, thinking that he was a single man now and had nothing to deceive. He nodded: "Then I'll thank you first. I'll remember your kindness and I'll tell you about it later."
Give it back to you."
Zi Yuanhe was not polite to him, just nodded, and then said to Ruan Hongling: "Hongling, you go and pay the bill."
Ruan Hongling, the boss, muttered unhappily: "Huh, you come to help him with good intentions, but you still have to be scolded and have to pay for him. How can there be such a reason in the world!"
She walked up to Li Yundong, stretched out her hand, and said loudly: "Hey, give me the book!"
Li Yundong was stunned for a moment and said warily: "What are you going to do?"
Ruan Hongling said a little crazy: "Pay the bill, you are holding the book, are you going to pay the bill?"
Li Yundong said oh and handed the book to her. Ruan Hongling mumbled all the way to the cashier, paid for Li Yundong, and then threw the book back to him, muttering: "Take your treasure."
, Really, no one cares about it! Girl, I’ve known it all by heart since I was seven years old!”
Li Yundong ignored her and opened the book and read it carefully.
Back home, Li Yundong sat cross-legged in the living room, still facing the east according to his previous habit of meditating and meditating, and then eagerly began to read this supreme book in the world of spiritual practice.
Li Yundong no longer remembers when he held a thick book so seriously. He only feels that he has never been so eager to acquire knowledge of spiritual practice as now. He is like a hungry traveler.
On the long road of spiritual practice, we pursue the source of truth.
At this glance, Li Yundong unknowingly saw that in the evening of the next day, the sky had darkened. Ruan Hongling took advantage of the darkness to jump from the balcony of his home to the balcony of Li Yundong's home, and then waved his hand in front of Li Yundong.
Akira said: "Hey, are you still alive?"
Li Yundong woke up with a start. He saw Ruan Hongling standing in front of him, holding a plastic bag in his hand. He was stunned: "What are you doing here?"
Ruan Hongling snorted: "I'll collect the body for you!"
Li Yundong snorted coldly: "I'm not dead yet, please bother me! The door is over there. Please close the door gently when you go out. Thank you!"
Ruan Hongling said angrily: "If Sister Ziyuan hadn't asked me to come and see you, do you think I would be willing to come and see your dead face?" As she said that, she threw the plastic bag in her hand heavily on the table.
Li Yundong raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when he saw Ziyuan flying over from the balcony. Li Yundong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Why don't these two ladies have the habit of walking through the main entrance?
Ziyuan whispered angrily: "Hong Ling, practitioners should pay attention to cultivating their moral character. How can you practice if you have such a bad temper?"
Ruan Hongling snorted in anger, pointed at Li Yundong and said, "If he hadn't been angry with me, would I have been so angry?"
Li Yundong didn't even look at her and snorted coldly: "You asked for it yourself."
Ruan Hongling was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Sister Ziyuan, look, look!"
Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said: "You two, please stop talking!" After that, she looked at Li Yundong and said: "I see you have been obsessed with watching it all day and night. Do you understand any truth?"
Li Yundong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded excitedly: "I understand a lot of things. For example, what you said before."
Ziyuan smiled and said, "Oh? Can you explain it to me?"
Li Yundong explained: "In the Huangdi Neijing, it is believed that each of the five sense organs has its own place, among which the eyes belong to the liver. Once the eyes are closed, it is equivalent to closing the liver valve in the body, the blood flow of the human body will slow down, and the consumption of essence will also be reduced.
It will slow down, in other words, the metabolism will slow down, so the excess strength and energy will be stored. This is the meaning of closing your eyes and resting your mind."
Ziyuan smiled slightly and said, "Well, keep talking."
Li Yundong added: "As for buying things, this comes from the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth that correspond to east, west, south, north, and middle. East and west correspond to wood and gold. In gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, in ancient times, wood and metal could be made into things.
It is used as a commodity exchange, and the north and south correspond to water and fire. Water and fire cannot be bought and sold, but gold and wood can, so when we talk about buying things, we don’t talk about buying north and south!”
Ziyuan nodded appreciatively: "That's very good, is there anything else?"
The more Li Yundong talked, the brighter his eyes became. He felt that a strange but very familiar door to practice was slowly opening to him. The world inside was not unknown to him. On the contrary, it was all familiar to him, but he had to learn from another place.
Let’s understand these things at one level.
He said: "As for why we talk about essence, blood essence, sperm, and essence essence, but not qi essence, blood essence, son essence, and yuan essence. That's because the "Huangdi Neijing" believes that essence is the most important thing in the human body.
, is where the essence of human beings lies. Only with essence can there be Qi, only with essence can there be blood, only with essence can there be son, and only with essence can there be essence! Therefore, essence is the first, ranked at the front of the word, and cannot be placed behind!
"
Ziyuan immediately asked: "Then do you know the difference between essence, blood essence, sperm and essence?"
Li Yundong immediately said without hesitation: "Jing Qi refers to the relationship between the kidneys and meridians. If the kidneys cannot store the essence, the Qi in the meridians will weaken. Once this Qi weakens, the person will
There is no strength, so there is a saying that the person has insufficient energy, lack of energy, and is listless."
Ziyuan and Ruan Hongling looked at each other, secretly admiring the young man's understanding and transparency. Ziyuan nodded and said: "Very good, continue!"
Li Yundong was encouraged, and he realized more and more clearly in his mind that things he knew before were suddenly linked to seemingly illusory things, and he became more and more excited.
Li Yundong said: "As for essence and blood, this refers to the relationship between the liver and kidneys. The kidneys store essence and the liver stores blood. Although the liver is ranked higher than the kidneys among the five internal organs, if a person wants to produce sperm, the liver will produce a large amount of sperm.
It uses fresh blood to convert the blood into essence, so there is a saying that one drop of essence and ten drops of blood show that essence is higher than blood."
Ziyuan smiled and nodded.
Li Yundong added: "Sperm refers to the causal logic of reproduction. Sperm comes first, and then children can be born. The logic of cause and effect cannot be reversed, so the word cannot be reversed."
Ziyuan smiled and said: "What about Jingyuan? This is not easy to explain."
Li Yundong thought for a while and said: "This is actually easy to explain, because Jing Yuan refers to the causal logical relationship of practice. People must first have Jing, so they can have Qi, blood, and spirit! If the human body's sperm
If it continues to be consumed, then this person must consume a large amount of Qi and blood to produce sperm, which will cause internal loss and weakness in the human body. This is why it is said that a person's body is emptied by women."
"According to the theory of spiritual practice, if a person continues to consume sperm, then Qi and blood will also be consumed. Essence, Qi and blood, the three essences of the human body, will naturally be greatly lost. This loss will make it impossible to achieve the gathering of the three flowers, let alone
It is possible to refine the three essences into gods! And gods are the true essence that practitioners need to refine. Therefore, without essence, there will be no energy, without essence, there will be no energy, without essence, there will be no blood, and without essence, there will be no spirit.
This shows that there is a causal and logical relationship between Jing and Yuan in cultivation! The order of the two cannot be reversed!"
When Ziyuan heard this, she couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful! I didn't expect that you only saw it for one day and you actually understood so many truths!"
Ruan Hongling also stared at Li Yundong with wide eyes, and thought to herself: This person is really talented. No wonder he has advanced so quickly in practice. He can understand so many truths in just one day. It's amazing, it's really amazing!
