When Qi Wuhuo returned home, he saw that the old man was still making tea with a calm and calm expression. When he saw him coming back, he still asked calmly: "Is Wuhuo coming back?"
"Um."
"How was your lecture today?"
Qi Wuhuo told the truth truthfully, and added: "The part I talked about today comes from Tantai Xuan's "The Record of Becoming an Immortal" and the practice notes left by my friends. I did not include those stories that my father-in-law taught me.
Get out." He still remembered that the old man said at that time that some parts were "you know, I know, only you can pass it on", and these cannot be passed on to others.
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you can understand by analogy and interpret other methods of practice, you can be considered a beginner."
"Yes, the best."
He immediately picked up the tea but didn't drink it.
I was about to put it to my mouth, but I seemed to think of something and paused.
He just held the tea cup and spoke lightly, calmly and nonchalantly:
"What about refining alchemy?"
When Qi Wuzhuo was about to make elixirs, he told him many techniques and techniques. The old man nodded and said, "Where did you get the techniques?" Qi Wuzhuo thought about it and replied, "It was when I was preparing to open the furnace.
, I thought of the general outline of alchemy that you mentioned, and suddenly realized that the method of alchemy is the same as the method of running cultivation, so I gave it a try."
The old man said: "That's it?"
Qi Wuhuo thought about it again and shook his head.
The old man seemed to be slightly relieved.
Qi Wuhuo replied: "When I was making alchemy, I saw the sun and moon appear at the same time in the winter afternoon, so I had some insights."
"Let's give it a try."
"Fortunately nothing went wrong."
The young man's face showed a look of relief, and then he said:
"Then I thought you said that the sun is the heart, which is used to cultivate one's nature; and the moon is the kidney, which is used to cultivate one's life."
"The sun rises and the moon sets, it is like this every day, as if the two phases are urging each other, and there is a mysterious feeling. Every day is neither late nor early, as if the heaven and the earth are also one human body. Seeing the sun and the moon rotate, it is like the dual cultivation of life and life. Don't rush
, don’t be slow, practice every day, don’t be lazy, that’s why it’s called [going and returning].”
Immediately, his voice stopped for a moment, he restrained his rarely exposed youthful nature, sat upright, and said softly:
"It's all my own random guesses. I don't know if it's right or wrong..."
The old man paused for a moment and asked gently:
"what else?"
Qi Wuhuo hesitated for a moment and said: "Since the rotation of the sun and the moon is like the dual cultivation of life and life."
"Then the world is also one human body?"
"Or is it that even though we are small as a human being, we still have a whole world in our body?"
"Although it is small, it is also big?"
“Isn’t the first step in spiritual practice to [look outside at the world and look inside to see your true nature]?”
The old man breathed out slightly.
Want to drink tea.
It is difficult to lift a cup of tea and drink it.
Only he could see that there were some ripples in the tea cup.
After a long while, he nodded slowly.
Drink tea calmly and just say good things.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and then spoke. He seemed to be very happy and expected to see beautiful jade covered with dust. After sweeping away the dust, he suddenly saw the brilliance. He said with a smile and admiration: "After listening to my general outline, you know how to use the earth's energy to urge you."
Move the sun and moon, and then refine elixirs. When refining elixirs, you can also understand the dual cultivation of life and life. How many practitioners have meditated for decades and do not know this principle."
"They may know these words, but they are just taught by their teachers and do not have their own understanding."
"Your understanding in this area is really good. It's not a lie. Even I am a little scared by you."
"However, your understanding potential is not something you can be proud of. You should guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
"The road travels slowly, don't fight about sooner or later."
"Does Wu Huo know?"
Qi Wuhuo cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
The old man looked at him with quite satisfied eyes. He pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help the joy in his heart. He stroked his beard and promised:
"Wait until you really succeed."
"Perhaps I will personally make an elixir for you."
"And you can watch."
"No confusion, encourage them!"
"Yes!!!"
A bright smile that truly belonged to a young man appeared on Qi Wuhuo's face.
He just felt that the old man was teaching him, and he just knew that the old man cared about him, so he was happy.
But I don't know how heavy the old man's calm words, "You came to watch while I was refining the elixir," really meant.
Time passes, but many things remain the same as before.
The night before departure, Qi Wuzhu cooked a lot of delicious dishes. In the morning of the next day, Qi Wuzhu brought well water early, washed his face, and then put on cleaner clothes.
I locked the doors and packed my bags, focusing on the white paper filled with the last wishes of the murdered souls, Tao Taigong's jade book, the only clue to my past experience, the waist badge of the Mingzhen Taoist Alliance.
Then a piano and a sword.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
He turned around and walked out, closed his two wooden doors again, looked at home, turned around and saw the old man standing behind, stroking his beard, and the plum tree was in full bloom.
"Wuhuo, are you ready? If there are still some things you are not ready for, you can stay a little longer."
"No."
"Haha, let's go then."
"Come with me to visit friends."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and walked out with Qi Wuhuo. There was a lively feeling outside. The New Year was coming soon, and the town was also bustling. The butcher killed a pig, and he was shouting lively. The wine shop
It was some thin work, but with a lot of strength, he moved out such a large wine vat, opened the mud seal, and scooped out the wine with a gourd and gourd that was dried and then cut open.
The clean wine liquid fell down, and the aroma of the wine was so strong that people couldn't move.
The vendors who only appeared during the Chinese New Year also came with scarecrows filled with candies and candied haws, and the little carts were tinkling as they thought. Qi Wuhuo remembered that he liked these the most when he was a child.
When my parents are still alive, when my hometown is still alive.
The sound of play rang out, and the children, who only reached the boy's waist, ran and slapped towards the vendor, and passed by the boy in the opposite direction. The children smiled brightly, and the boy's clothes moved slightly, and his body stood straight.
The vendor bent down, took out the maltose with a smile, and the rattle on his belt moved in time.
The children collected some broken iron pieces, which they could exchange for a small piece of maltose from the vendor.
People were coming and going, everyone was talking about what delicious food they would eat during the New Year, and no matter who the special guests were, they seemed not to see the old and the young, and the smoke of human beings floated from the cuffs of their sleeves.
, the old man stroked his beard and looked at the young man next to him, and asked with a smile: "It's the New Year's Day. It's so lively. Can you follow me out?"
Qi Wuhuo replied: "Yeah."
"I've been through this before."
"So, it doesn't matter."
The old man looked at him, smiled and sighed: "Huang Liang Yi Meng has ruined your reputation, but it also made some of your things stronger."
"Go to [false] and leave [real]."
"It's about cultivating the Tao."
"Then let's go."
"Um."
The young man took one last look at the lively town behind him, then turned around and was led by the old man. He was separated from these people who were full of the smell of red dust. He turned his back and walked away gradually. In the end, even the smoke from the cooking stove on his sleeves was like wind smoke.
They dispersed as if they were there, with a clean blue shirt, a sword case on his back, and a sword and a piano in the sword case. He was a fourteen-year-old boy with clean and gentle eyes.
He and the old man walked to the avenue together.
Slowly walked out of this town.
"Husband, is the person you want to meet close to you? Can we walk there?"
"Haha, it's both near and far, it's far and it's near."
"Wuhuo..."
"Come with me."
The old man stroking his beard looked at the young man next to him, made a pun, and said with a smile:
"You are a talented person, and I can show you the way."
