Ordinary Cultivation of Immortals in Shushan

Chapter 42 The Way of Qi Training
Taoist Iron Man didn't refuse, so he asked the juniors to explain their difficulties in practice. After all, they are real people who have cultivated into loose immortals. A few casual pointers are also very beneficial.

It's rare to see a living true immortal, and everyone can't wait to figure out all the problems accumulated over the years.

Meng Qiu also took the opportunity to ask a few hurdles in his usual practice, and he was very happy when he got the answer.

Soon it was getting dark and the atmosphere became more and more lively. Seeing that the question had changed from foundation building to qi training, Yu Shunong and other juniors asked more and more complex questions, and even Bai Qi came to ask for advice on getting started.

Taoist Tie Liao couldn't handle it, so he smiled and said: "Fellow Taoists, stop first. Since you are so concerned about the realm of cultivation, listen to me in detail. If you still don't understand, don't hesitate to ask."

After everyone quieted down, he said, "The five realms of cultivation refer to Qi training, foundation building, loose immortals, earth immortals, and heavenly immortals. Do you know why this first realm is called Qi training?"

Everyone understood, but they looked at each other and dared not answer.

Ji Mengqiu said: "There is an old saying: 'The one who eats meat is brave and fierce, the one who eats grains is wise and ingenious, the one who eats qi is gods and lives long, and the one who does not eat is immortal and gods.' Is that so?"

Dai Hengyu followed and said, "Could it be that the ancients called practitioners Qi practitioners, hence the name?"

Taoist Iron Man glared at his disciple, then gave Meng Qiu an appreciative look, and said:
"Practicing qi, the art of swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy to seek longevity, is the foundation of cultivation. Even in the realm of immortals, one needs to harvest spiritual energy.

Qi training is also easy.As long as you have the method of entraining qi, even if your aptitude is blunt, you can get started even if it lasts for a long time.

Practicing Qi is also difficult.Practitioners, practice also.Practicing Qi is like refining alchemy, even if you have a high-grade alchemy furnace in hand, the world's spiritual flames are the fire, and the essence of the world is the material, once the technique is rough, you will only get a piece of medicine dregs in the end.

That's why when practicing qi, although one should not be cautious and be on guard all the time, one must be careful and not be careless.If the legal couple can't have both wealth and land, they should also choose what is good and follow it.

For example, there are many taboos about the location of gas extraction.How dull the obstructive qi is, how deaf the wind qi is, how thick the forest qi is, how dull the wood qi is, how swollen the shore qi is, how powerful the stone qi is..."

Taoist Tieyong practiced qi as compared to alchemy, and explained the taboos in qi training in great detail. The truth is not only applicable to the qi training period, even Zhang Zhang, a monk who has built a foundation for many years, has learned a lot from it.

It's just that Meng Qiu heard it, but he was a little puzzled. There were many taboos here, such as location, timing, etc. He had never paid attention to it before. Regardless of mountains, forests and rivers, he meditated wherever he went.

Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly remembered that he was different from other monks. He did not directly absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but the pearl in the center of his eyebrows would first absorb the spiritual energy, and then spit out mana and send it to the sea of ​​​​qi.

Meng Qiu didn't realize the great use of this pearl at first, but he just put it aside for the time being because he couldn't take it out and didn't see any harm.

After Taoist Tie Liao finished speaking, Yu Shunong and the others had no doubts in their hearts, and they all stood up and thanked him.

Although Bai Qi could only understand half of it, the twists and turns in it also made him cool down the excitement of entering the door of Qi training for the first time, and sighed sincerely:

"It's so difficult to practice Qi. No wonder there are hundreds of millions of people in this world, but so few monks. Before this year, I had never seen a real monk."

"It is rumored that in ancient times, the heavens and the earth were full of aura, and when one breathed, there was aura washing over one's body, so everyone was like a dragon."

Taoist Iron Man said with a smile: "It's a pity that an accident happened later, which made the spiritual energy quiet, and you have to have a special method to practice.

It is after the ancient times that various cultivation methods will emerge in endlessly, and they will be more exquisite and meticulous.Although it was born out of the previous method, it is quite different. "

Meng Qiu's heart moved, and he asked: "Then what is the difference between the current law and the previous human law?"

"I don't know either." Taoist Tie Mino said humanely, "There are almost none of the ancient humanistic methods handed down. They are the source of all laws in the world, and they are all in the hands of some seniors who have not been born. How can a casual cultivator like me see them.

However, the patriarch of the Emei Founding School, Zhangmei Zhenren, was deeply blessed, and may have left a legacy; others such as the Wutai School, although they are called great religions, may not have them. "

Meng Qiu was a little disappointed, so he had no choice but to keep his doubts in his heart, and waited for the drunk Taoist to come, and then went to make sidelines.

Bai Qi was still a little puzzled, and said: "Sage Confucius said: 'There is no discrimination!' Since the practice of cultivation has been passed down for many years, why hasn't it been spread to the mortal world?"

Taoist Iron Man said with a smile: "Don't think that a monk eats the wind and drinks the dew, so he is really heartless and desireless. A monk is a human being, and he is also limited by human nature.

Immortals are expensive and private.Those who indulge in power and enjoyment, who is willing to have one more comrade to fight for?Those who are willing to practice in peace and asceticism are too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they be willing to bring a few drags?

Only those who are unwilling to give up their achievements and want to leave a legacy will accept disciples.

Besides, Confucius also said: "I have learned more than self-cultivation, and I am not without teaching." 'A sage should also set a threshold for accepting disciples, so as not to make knowledge too easy for scholars to cherish.

Immortal Dao is even worse, the required resources such as wealth, law and land have a certain number, if the method is easily spread, it will be difficult for everyone to practice, so there is a threshold for cultivating the Tao.

The orthodox religion emphasizes character, the evil way looks at the root, the sect asks about the habit, and the casual practice talks about the fate method. Each has its own emphasis, but talent cannot escape no matter what.

There are few people with hundreds of millions of people who are extremely talented, and there are even fewer who are suitable as successors. If they are found by chance, the twists and turns can be imagined.

For example, my apprentice, if he hadn't had a conflict with Chen Wei, then the master of the Chen family would not have asked Grand Master Mao to help him.

If he doesn't show loyalty, and doesn't go to save people, Drunk Daoists won't think highly of him and recommend him.

If there is no one pointing to the road, if you search hard in the mountains, you will not be able to find the location of my cave.

It is so difficult, I saw that he is very talented, and he took the exam for half a year before he was willing to formally teach Taoism.

If there is a mistake in this process, he will be like all other living beings in this world, unable to see the world, and when he is old, he will die in the loess. "

Everyone feels sorry for each other.In this room, except for Bai Qi, no one has been inherited easily, and all of them have gone through life and death ordeals.

Even though it was as easy as Bai Qi's Taoism, his ability to turn the tide and block the enemy after his sworn brother abandoned his family and children is something very human can do.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing everyone's silence, Taoist Tie Liao suddenly laughed and said, "You don't have to be so emotional, compared to us, we are lucky."

Those who take a boat will feel that the wind and waves are strong and the boat is a little bumpy, but compared with people who are struggling to swim in the waves, it is undoubtedly much stronger.

Taoist Tie Mino comforted everyone, and said: "The road to practice is extremely long, how can I do my best in one day. What I said today is enough for you to digest for a while, so let's stop first.

I am just a mere casual cultivator, and I just took a few more steps. What I have learned is superficial, and it is inevitable that there will be some fallacies. You still need to carefully consider it yourself. "

Everyone thanks in unison.Bai Qi hurriedly ordered people to prepare a banquet, and the guests and hostess had a good time.
