Cultivation little Taoist

Chapter 649 Teaching Xia Shihan

With this bite, my girl's hand must be broken!
Just as Ye Feng wanted to move, he saw that Pei Yan'er moved first, and quickly blocked the Thousand Chance Umbrella on the hilt of the mahogany sword.

That year the beast bumped into it with a "dang", and soon lost its balance and lay down on its back.

Mu Yun in Pei Yan'er's hand changed again, into the form of a wooden sword, and touched the belly of the lying Nian beast.

That year the beast called "Nian" and stopped moving.

Pei Yan'er took out the soul collection card, put it on Nian's forehead, and when a ray of soul entered it, it was considered complete.

Xia Shihan was still in shock, Ye Feng went over and patted Xia Shihan's shoulder: "It's okay, it's good to have such a result in catching Nian Beast for the first time."

Xia Shihan nodded, and looked at Pei Yan'er gratefully: "Thank you, sister Pei."

"It doesn't matter, since I was ten years old, I have been going up the mountain to catch Nian beasts every year, and I didn't have your reaction the first time.

Just learn slowly. "Pei Yan'er shrugged and said.

Although she was a little dissatisfied with Xia Shihan, she just thought that she took advantage of her time and met Ye Feng before becoming his girlfriend, but after such a long period of time, Pei Yan'er's dislike for her became less and less .

What's more, she was very generous and willing to let Ye Feng help her catch the Nian Beast. Just this one was enough to make Pei Yan'er no longer have any resentment towards her.

"It seems that Jiulan just taught you some witchcraft methods to open the Nine Heavens Xuannv's physique. To be honest, that method should not be suitable for you." Ye Feng took Xia Shihan's hand and felt the dantian in her body. Still barren.

What Xia Shihan mobilized just now should only be the qi that exists in his limbs, and it has not been formed in the dantian.

In this way, you can only use some fixed qi. If you want to truly let yourself call the nearly infinite qi as you like, you need to develop your dantian.

"Witchcraft is very particular about the connection between heaven and man. They can absorb a lot of energy from the sky and the earth, so the development of the dantian is far less exquisite than our Taoists."

As Ye Feng said, he and Xia Shihan sat down cross-legged, ready to start some teaching.

Xia Shihan had already received this kind of learning, eager to catch the Nian Beast, she greeted Ye Feng, then walked to the mountain forest, and continued to catch the Nian Beast based on her previous experience.

At this moment, Pei Xi'er in the dark sneered, her chance finally came.

Ye Feng grabbed Xia Shihan's hand and put it on his knee, "The contents of Taoist exercises mainly include heart fasting, sitting and forgetting, fate supervision, guidance, breathing, listening to rest, resting on heels, keeping quiet, keeping thoughts, keeping one, Bigu, taking food, in the room, moving qi, fetal breath, outer alchemy, inner alchemy, etc.

But you are the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, and you have the physique of the Nine Heavens Xuannv. Many things can be ignored, but I will let you practice three of them.

One is Xinzhai.

Xinzhai, "Zhai" means pure heart, and Xinzhai refers to the purity and tranquility of the heart.

It first came from "Zhuangzi·Human World": "Only the Tao gathers the emptiness, and the emptiness is the heart." It means: the avenue is emptiness and tranquility, so the human heart should be pure, empty and quiet to fit the avenue.Therefore, the true fasting method taught by Chinese Taoism does not mean fasting by eating vegetarian food on the outside, but refers to the inner cleanliness of the heart, which is also the sublime meaning of Chinese Taoist cultivation.

Your heart is pure and simple, and your personality is gentle. This kind of heart can be regarded as stepping into the threshold, but you still need to practice more in the future.

The second is heel interest.

Heel breath refers to deep internal breathing, reaching to the heel.

According to "Zhuangzi The Great Master": "The real person in ancient times sleeps without dreaming, sleeps without worry, eats unwillingly, and breathes deeply. The breath of a real person is from his heels, and the breath of everyone is from his throat."

It means: people who practiced Taoism in ancient times, they would not dream when they slept, they would not be sad when they woke up, they would not ask for good taste in their food, and they would breathe deeply and deeply.

The breath of a person with the Tao can directly reach the heel from the inside; the breath of an ordinary person can only reach the throat from the outside.

This is the internal respiration used by cultivators, which is absolutely different from the lung respiration used by ordinary people.

Ordinary people take a deep breath, and the qi energy can only reach the dantian at most; but the breath of a real person can directly reach the heel. It can be seen that the real people who practiced in ancient times have already possessed very deep cultivation skills.

You still can only reach Dantian, so this requires more practice. "

"Brother, is this what you're talking about?" Xia Shihan asked with blinking eyes.

"This is just the basis of running the cycle. This heel breath is practiced to move the whole body between breaths, and the cycle is to circulate the true energy along the meridians for a week, which is called the cycle.

Generally speaking, the true energy along the Ren and Du channels is called Xiao Zhoutian.

The small circus plus the four limbs are the big circus.

That is to say, Qi goes from the Dantian to the perineum, descends from the inner side of one leg to Yongquan, goes up from the toes to the tailbone through the outer sole of the foot, and then goes down from the other leg, and then goes up along the Du Meridian to the back of Dazhui, and then flows from one side of the arm Down, and then down from the other arm, back to the Dazhui point, continue to go up the head along the Du channel, and then go down along the Ren channel.

The characteristic of Zhoutian transfer method is to mobilize the real qi in the body to run according to the Zhoutian route by breathing or using thoughts, practice qi and repair the meridian, so that the inner qi is sufficient, the meridians are unobstructed, the essence, qi, and spirit are united, and finally reach a high level.

Among them, the way of running the circle can be divided into three types: the hexagram circle, the meridian circle and the mind circle.

Generally speaking, the hexagrams and yao zhou start from the essence, refining the essence and transforming the qi, Zhuge Ming's way of running the zhou is like this;

The circulation of the meridians starts from Qi, so that the true energy of the dantian enters the meridians. This is the way I practice the circulation of the sky;
Mind cycle starts from the gods, and uses mind to move the Hunyuan Qi in the body. If I guessed correctly, this should be the way Zhang Lingxiu practiced the cycle.

After you have passed the resting stage, you can choose the most suitable way to run the Sunday when you practice running the Sunday.

The effects of the three are similar, but no matter whether it is resting on the heels or moving around the sky, the premise of tranquility is the premise.

This purity refers to the purity of the heart, that is, the practice of Xinzhai must be perfect. "

"I understand, brother, you continue to talk." Xia Shihan said.

"What I'm going to say next is the key point, and it's also the most critical point for getting started with Taoism." Ye Feng cleared his throat:

"Three is inner alchemy.

Inner alchemy refers to the cultivation of alchemy in the body using the three treasures of the human body, qi, and spirit as medicine.

The cultivation method of inner alchemy is very secretive, if you are not a disciple of sect, what you practice is only outer alchemy.

The practice method of inner alchemy should be earlier than that of outer alchemy. The words of Guang Chengzi teaching Xuanyuan Huangdi recorded in "Zhuangzi" belong to the high-level inner alchemy method.Its name, in contrast to inner alchemy, was announced by Su Yuanlang, a Luofu alchemist in the Sui Dynasty. .”

The inner alchemy was relatively secretive at the beginning, and it was revealed to the world only after Su Yuanlang wrote a book.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the "Zhong Lu Jin Dan Dao" advocated by Zhong Liquan and Lu Dongbin emerged, and the theory of inner alchemy gradually formed a complete system, which has been passed down for a long time and has become the mainstream of Chinese Taoist practice.

Up to now, the outer alchemy that achieves longevity by burning golden alchemy and taking food has gradually declined. Except that Longmen Zhongxing still maintains this practice method of outer alchemy assisting inner alchemy, it is now the main one in the Taoist sect. Taking the inner alchemy of Jindan Dao, that is, the way of alchemy, as the mainstream, it pays attention to the spirit of cultivation.

If you want to practice, you also have to practice inner alchemy directly.

Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching once said that one begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.

Dan Dao means that three returns to two, two returns to one, and one merges with Tao.Its nouns are the process of refining qi to transform spirit, refining spirit to return emptiness, that is, the return process of essence, qi and spirit.

And because of the lack of human essence, we created the refined and refined qi to supplement the essence, so that people can make up for the deficiencies from the acquired to the innate, so that they can start to practice.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the school of understanding "San Tong Qi" with the theory of inner alchemy gradually overwhelmed the school of outer alchemy and became the mainstream of immortal studies.

Famous inner alchemists such as Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Cui Xifan, Chen Pu, Chen Tuan, Shi Jianwu, Liu Xuanying, Zhang Boduan and others who studied inner alchemy immortals regard "Zhouyi Cantong Qi" as the ancestor of alchemy scriptures, "Can Tongqi" The value of "As the Secret Code of Immortal Cultivation" is recognized by the society.

At that time, the study of inner alchemy had developed to the level of perfection, and some schools with their own characteristics began to form.These inner alchemy sects all trace back to the Yellow Emperor, Pengzu, Wang Qiao, Chisongzi, and rely on Laozi.

One school claims to have been passed down from Guan Yinzi, who was named Wenshi Zhenren in the Tang Dynasty, so it is called Wenshi School.

The other school claims to have passed down Xuanfu, Emperor Shaoyang of Donghua Purple Mansion, so it is called Shaoyang School.

The Wenshi school takes nothingness as its foundation and cultivation of nature as its sect. The Dharma books "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Wenshizhenjing" belong to the most superior way of nothingness. , Immediately into the sky, right and wrong, same person and me, enter the chaotic state without heaven and earth, cultivate nature and fate at the same time.

The Shaoyang school advocates the dual practice of life and soul to nourish yin and yang, and uses the method of action to achieve the method of inaction. It divides the steps of refining qi, refining qi to transform spirit, and refining spirit to return emptiness. The order is clear, and the sect has spread widely.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Shaoyang School has opened the Dharma door of Zhongliquan, Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan, Ma Yi Taoist, Huolong Zhenren, Liu Cao, Zhang Boduan, etc., and gradually formed after the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Southern School, Northern School, Central School, Eastern School, Western School, Qingcheng School, Wuliu School and other sects.

Therefore, there is a saying that the Wenshi school is the highest and the Shaoyang school is the largest in the inner alchemy school.

There is another Daoist Zhang Sanfeng in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, who synthesized the strengths of the Wenshi School and the Shaoyang School, and created the Sanfeng School, also known as the Yinxian School. Zhongchuangyi's pure method has the characteristics of both the southern and northern sects.

These numerous sects can be roughly divided into three categories in terms of their skills, one is the Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method, the second is the Pure and Solitary Cultivation Method of Meditation, and the third is the combination of the Yin-Yang Cultivation School and the Pure and Solitary Cultivation School body.

According to different sects, the theories held are different, each person's situation is different, and the exercises are also ever-changing..."

"Brother, what kind of cultivation do you practice? I want to cultivate the inner alchemy in the same way as you..." Xia Shihan said.
