The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 314 Evolution
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were disputes among princes and frequent wars, and military training received unprecedented attention and development.

At the same time, various schools of thought came to the world, and a hundred schools of thought contended.

All kinds of thoughts blow out.

Martial arts are not only in the hands of the major military aristocrats, but also gradually spread to the common people.

Taoist Lao Tzu put forward the internal training theory of "returning to the root and returning to life", the exhalation method of "boasting or bragging", "continuously exhaling it as if it exists", and also described the ideal of "longevity and long-term vision".

Zhuangzi also has internal training methods such as "heart fasting" and "sitting and forgetting".

Ghost valley breathing, warlock alchemy, witchcraft, blood energy hard work, guiding and convincing...

All kinds of miraculous skills emerge in endlessly.

But some kung fu has caused great side effects on the body, and it has to be improved or discarded afterwards.

For example: The Battle of Wuyue.

The swordsmen of the Wu State are skilled in swordsmanship, using the art of group warfare, using the crowd to defeat the few, and using Sun Wuzi's art of war; the swordsmanship routines of the Yue State initially used the sword technique to confuse people, and when they were defeated, they used the sword technique of fighting hard .

They are all very primitive and in the process of groping.

Afterwards, Ah Qing, a "Nv Yue", was born, with brilliant swordsmanship and profound logic, she broke through thousands of soldiers with a green bamboo pole, broke into the palace of Yue King, and left behind the legend of "Goddess Sword of Yue"! !
From the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Danology developed.

All kinds of alchemy masters put forward their own alchemy theories one after another.

At the same time, Buddhism entered the Central Plains, and since then, there have been three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Martial arts are gradually combined with health preservation in the blending of culture and culture.However, due to the prevalence of metaphysics at that time, there was no one theory that could unify all, and everyone practiced in their own way.

Some people pursue immortality through alchemy.

But this world is not the world of immortals and demons after all, and the elixirs made from the essence of plants and trees are still beneficial, while the things of lead and mercury can only lead to slow death.

For example, the "famous" five stone powder.

Its negative influence hinders the development of martial arts to a certain extent.

The term "inner alchemy" was mentioned for the first time by Xu Xun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the book "Ling Jian Zi": "Inner alchemy is used to adjust the throat".

However, inner alchemy and outer alchemy are still entangled.

Until [Tiantai Sect]'s third patriarch Huisi Zen Master clearly divided the outer alchemy and inner alchemy in "Li Jing Yuan Wen".

In the Sui Dynasty, Su Yuanlang, a Taoist, further put forward the theory of "double cultivation of life and life".

He wrote "Dragon and Tiger Golden Liquid Returning Alchemy to Tongyuan Theory", using the terms of outer alchemy to explain inner alchemy, advocating "single cultivation of life and soul", emphasizing the comprehensive exercise of mind and body, and taking this as the core of inner alchemy practice. Practicing in the heart".

Su Yuanlang advocates refining inner alchemy, and believes that immortal medicine does not lie in ingesting external things through the spleen and stomach, but in internal thinking and keeping the spirit, using the ups and downs of the mind to control the process of internal cultivation and internal refining, and produce the ultimate treasure of immortal medicine out of nothing.

In the Tang Dynasty, the study of inner alchemy developed vigorously.

At the same time, alchemists put forward theories, and some people choose to experiment on their own to combine theory with practice, such as: Zhong Liquan wrote "Lingbao Bifa", Zhongliquan passed on Dandao to Lu Dongbin, Cui Xifan wrote "Medical Mirror", Sima Cheng Zhen made "Tianyinzi"...and so on.

Some also carry forward their own theories and let future generations confirm them.

Then, a set of theoretical systems of "refining self to build foundation, refining essence to transform Qi, refining Qi to transform spirit, refining spirit to return emptiness" gradually gained everyone's approval.

Under mature theories, martial arts has also developed vigorously.

Five Dynasties period.

There is Murong Longcheng from Xianbei who created the unique skill of "Fighting and Star Shifting". Facing any martial arts attack, he can bounce back and give it back to the opponent, making himself invincible;

"Sword God" Duan Siping, invincible and almost invincible, established the Dali Kingdom with martial arts and dominated the southwest;

There is also "Taizu" Zhao Kuangyin, who used the "coiling dragon stick method" to gather thousands of troops, and there was no opponent.

Among them, there is a generation of strange man Pan Lang, who calls himself "Xiaoyaozi", created many wonderful martial arts, even including kung fu that can rejuvenate his youth, and is a step deeper than others in the practice of longevity.

It's just a pity that these people are stronger if they are stronger, but in the end it seems that no one has ever heard of anyone who can live forever! ?
During the Song Dynasty.

Various martial arts sects have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and there are many outstanding ones among them.

"Xiyizi" Chen Tuan, "Sword Demon" Dugu Qiubai, "Chongyangzi" Wang Zhongfu, "Ziyang Immortal" Zhang Boduan...

A few words about them, Hong Kang found some in 【Chishuge】.

Until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Zhang Sanfeng, the eternal master of Youdaomen, founded the "Wudang" lineage.

When Zhang Sanfeng was alive, no one in the world would be dissatisfied with his Taoism and martial arts.

Since then, Mitutoyo has disappeared.

"Ok??"

Hong Kang read: "I don't know where??"

Looking at the records, any famous master in the history of Taoism has a clear record of his birth and death.

For example, Zhang Guolao, Mr. Tongxuan in the early Tang Dynasty, one of the "Eight Immortals" in folklore, has existed for 280 nine years, which can be called the six lives of ordinary people.

No one would believe such an incredible longevity, but Hong Kang did.

Because he himself can live to be more than 150 years old now!
Who knew that Zhang Guolao's cultivation had reached the level of a god! !
A thought suddenly flashed in Hong Kang's mind: Could it be that Master Sanfeng has not passed away? !

It's not impossible!

Zhang Sanfeng is not only a Taoist who only studies the theory of alchemy, but also a real practitioner.

According to his age, if he can live to the present, he will be 40 years old...

After such a long time, the graves of ordinary people may not be found.

But he is Zhang Sanfeng~~!

Is there a possibility that he is still somewhere in this world! ?

Thinking of this, Hong Kang's heart beat faster.

He now very much needs a pioneer on the road of practice as a reference, otherwise he can only rely on his own groping, trial and error.

"However, it's not without gains."

It took Hong Kang nearly two years to read all the books in [Chishuge].

There is not no content that is really useful to me, but it is very fragmented.

Only this one -

Hong Kang looked at the "Yellow Court Interior View Jade Classic" in his hand.

This scripture mainly talks about the method of "preserving thoughts and retaining spirit".

[Tianshi Mansion] The early practice was mainly based on "thinking".

The so-called "Cunsi" is "the method of refining the spirit", including inner meditation, keeping quiet, keeping thinking, and keeping one.

This "Jade Classic of Inner Scenery in the Yellow Court" was modified by Mrs. Wei Huacun for many times, combined with the way of medicine and internal training, and created a meditation meditation centered on refining the spirit.

However, when Mrs. Wei was writing this scripture, she experimented with herself many times, resulting in many hidden injuries to her body, Shen Ke could not return, and died before she was a hundred years old.

Moreover, according to the opening chapter of "The Jade Classic of the Inner View of the Yellow Court", the effect of practicing together with the "Jade Classic of the External View of the Yellow Court" will be the best.

Because the "External Scenery" contains related content about exhaling and promoting qi, pharynx and fluid treasure essence, and cleansing the internal organs.

It's just that "External Scenery" has long been lost in the thousands of years of changes.

"It's just, why is this "Jade Classic of Inner View of the Yellow Court" still kept in [Tianshi Mansion]?"

Out of curiosity, Hong Kang found Zhang Yujian.
