Chapter 267 Discuss Tao with Zhenren Zhang
Li Jiang never lies, and he settled Zhou Tian's matter one day later.
For this reason, Wei Yixiao and Zhou Dian lessened their grudge against him and began to interact with him.
Another two days passed, and Zhou Dian was about to invite Li Jiang to have a drink together to discuss how to deal with the arrival of King Yin Ye.
But Li Jiang refused because he was unavailable. Qingfeng came over just now and informed him that Patriarch Sanfeng would temporarily leave the country tomorrow and arranged an hour for him to meet.
Li Jiang therefore thought that although he could not fast for three days to show his respect, he could not go to see Master Zhang smelling of alcohol.
Zhou Dian saw that Li Jiang really had a good reason, so he went back angrily.
The next day.
Li Jiang rarely put on the Taoist robe that was idle in the space, and asked the children in Wudang to bring a stick of sandalwood. He burned the incense and meditated while waiting for Master Zhang's interview.
After noon, the bright moon came in a hurry and invited Li Jiang to go to the backyard.
After hearing this, Li Jiang stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed Mingyue to the backyard.
The small courtyard where Zhang Sanfeng retreats and meditates is deep in the back mountain. There are dense bamboo forests and luxuriant green grass here. Except for the occasional chirping of birds, it is extremely quiet. Mingyue and Li Jiang were about to ask for permission when they suddenly heard a "squeak" sound.
The door opened and Zhang Sanfeng walked out slowly.
Li Jiang took a quick look and saw an old man standing outside the bamboo gate with a red face, bright eyes and white beard and eyebrows. The most eye-catching thing was that the white beard on his cheeks was thick and lush, giving him a rather fairy-like demeanor.
Before Master Zhang could speak first, Li Jiang took two steps forward and bent down deeply. After performing an authentic Taoist ceremony, he said: "The younger generation is the last to enter. Please see Master Zhang."
Zhang Zhenren looked at Li Jiang and said with a smile: "My little friend is fully refined and full of energy, and his Taoism is not shallow. I am only half a step ahead, so I can be worthy of my Taoist friends and there is no need to be more polite!"
"I don't dare. Wuji and I call each other brothers and it's appropriate to call us elders." Li Jiang insisted without getting up.
Zhang Sanfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "It's up to you. My little friend, you can come in and sit down."
"Yes, I disturbed the real person's Qing Dynasty." Li Jiang complained, turned to Mingyue and nodded to express his gratitude, then shook his sleeves and walked into the house.
After entering the door, Li Jiang observed it. It was a small small room. It was about thirty or forty square meters. On the wall of the central hall was a portrait of Emperor Zhenwu, holding a sword and stepping on a turtle and snake, which looked majestic and majestic.
On both sides of the portrait stands a half-human-high bronze crane on the ground, with green smoke curling out from its beak.
There are several futons placed in the middle of the small room.
Apart from that, there is nothing else in the small room.
Zhang Sanfeng randomly selected a futon and sat down. At the same time, he pointed at the remaining futons and said, "Young man, you can sit wherever you like."
Li Jiang cupped his hands, chose a futon opposite him and sat cross-legged.
After Zhang Sanfeng sat down, he said: "I heard from Qingfeng that my friend came to me several times. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it while I was in seclusion. I hope you don't blame me."
"No, no, it's me who disturbed Master Zhang." Li Jiang waved his hand and said, "I don't have anything urgent to do with Master Zhang. You can see me or not, just let it happen..."
"Oh, those words are quite Zen-like. My friend, it seems that you have studied Buddhism deeply." Zhang Sanfeng said.
"I've just read a few Buddhist scriptures, not a deep study," Li Jiang replied.
Zhang Sanfeng nodded. He himself was a monk who united the three religions, so he didn't take it seriously. He asked again: "Then why do you want to find an old Taoist..."
Li Jiang replied: "Master Zhang, please forgive me for being presumptuous! I just want to ask you about your insights on the mysterious entrance after being in Xiantian for decades. Is it inconvenient?"
Zhang Sanfeng laughed and said: "What's the inconvenience of this? Someone is discussing with the old Taoist, and the old Taoist is eager to discuss it."
Then he asked, "My little friend, how far have you reached in your cultivation of Xuan Guan Yi Jiao?"
"Nothing! I have neither found a mysterious aperture in my body, nor has anyone felt the acupoints related to me in the void. So I am very confused now and don't know what to do next?" Li Jiang said distressedly.
"My little friend, don't be impatient. The entrance to the entrance is very subtle. You can only gain it without understanding it, but you can't seek it with your heart. If you seek it with your heart, you will fall behind." Zhang Sanfeng comforted him.
Li Jiang said sarcastically: "I also know that haste makes waste, and the flowers will never blossom if you have the intention. But after a few years, I can't even touch the edges! So I am a little impatient."
"Haha..." Zhang Sanfeng laughed for a while and said: "My little friend has only been practicing this path for a few years and can't wait. Then I, a person who has been practicing for decades, would have died of anxiety long ago!"
Li Jiang ignored the distinction and hurriedly asked: "Master Zhang, did you succeed?"
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned for a moment and then said after a moment of silence: "How can it be that easy? I just have a vague feeling."
Li Jiang's eyes lit up and he asked again: "What does it feel like? How can I feel it?"
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Li Jiang's anxious look, but did not laugh this time. He understood very well the mood of a person who seeks the Tao. In order to pursue the elusive immortality, nothing else is in their hearts.
A few decades ago, wasn't I the same situation? I was walking alone, struggling, and I was looking forward to having a good teacher and friend who could solve my doubts.
After so many years, I finally met someone with the same path.
Although Zhang Sanfeng was filled with emotion, he shared his experience with Li Jiang without hiding anything.
"This orifice is not the heart, nor the kidneys, nor the mouth and nose, nor the spleen and stomach, nor the valley, nor the bladder, nor the Dantian, nor the mud pill... This orifice is not an extraordinary orifice, it is the combination of heaven and earth."
"This orifice is not only inside the body, but also within the body; it is not outside the body, but also outside the body. When this orifice is opened, all the orifices will be opened, and all the meridians will be smooth. There is a long road to practice, and at this point, the doorway will be opened and it will suddenly become clear."
After he explained the concept of Xuantou Yiqiao, he also talked about his cultivation experience.
"Xuan Guan, Tai Chi is about to separate, and Liang Yi is about to judge. When Xuan Guan comes, the practitioner seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, and seems to be awake but not awake. Suddenly he wakes up and moves. At this time, one spirit moves alone, which is the true meaning.
.”
"After the true meaning is obtained, the womb is born, which is called the Xuanfei Gate. It will not see the image without practicing it first. It is necessary to stop breathing and the vital breath begins to move. After being warmed and nourished for a long time, the Xuanfei will come in and out. It is connected to the root of heaven on the outside and the axis of earth on the inside.
They are dense and dense, between the muscle bellies, and when one orifice is opened, the hair orifices are everywhere all over the body."
"At this time, the previous thoughts will disappear, and the subsequent thoughts will not continue. This awakening is here and now, and it is gone in the blink of an eye. In a matter of milliseconds, the heart and breath are interdependent, the spirit and energy are combined, and everything is born out of nothing. When it is a living child, it is the entrance.
One thing."
Finally, he concluded to Li Jiang who was listening with great interest: "In short, once this orifice is opened, all other orifices will be opened. The 84,000 pores and 360 joints in the whole body will burst open together, the hundreds of meridians will flow smoothly, and the innate medicine will be used as desired.
Life is replenished, and the inner elixir and the immortal path are joyfully expected."
Just as Li Jiang was about to speak, Zhang Sanfeng added, "However, I have not reached the last step, I just think it should be so."
"Ah?" Li Jiang was stunned.
Are you always guessing? Li Jiang was immediately discouraged.
When Zhang Sanfeng saw Li Jiang's appearance, he smiled and said: "My friend, this path is a matter of hard work, and it cannot be achieved by rushing for success. If you have read the Buddhist scriptures, you should know that you cannot have a delusional mind, otherwise the delusional mind will disappear in one day."
.”
Li Jiang reluctantly raised his hands and said, "I understand, Mr. Zhang. Jiang is grateful for your explanation."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
