Wang Jingxuan put down the Daozang in his hand, thought for a moment, and then said: "I know, it's a good idea to entertain two lay people. These two people have profound cultivation and good fortune, so we can't neglect it."
"Uncle Master, do you want me to go and express my gratitude to the two laymen?" Zhang Fahui asked.
"No need," the old Taoist priest twirled his beard and smiled: "This layman has something to ask for, so of course he has to be attentive. I will handle this matter as an old Taoist, so just pretend you don't know about it."
"Yes, I will follow the teachings of my great uncle."
Zhang Fahui resigned.
With a light like a bean, Wang Jingxuan lowered his head and copied a large section of the Mawangdui edition of the Tao Te Ching, which he had written silently. He looked at it carefully for a long time, but his face was not as indifferent as it was during the day.
After a long while, he muttered: "I see, Han Confucians misunderstood me..."
The old Taoist priest raised his head, his face full of endless sorrow.
From that day on, Fei Jingting and Fu Yunzhao lived in Tianmu Mountain. Every morning, Fu Yunzhao led the little white snake around the mountains and fields. This girl seemed crazy, but she understood clearly in her heart. What she was practicing was
It is the Fetal Breathing Technique of Kun Dao. After practicing it for a long time, it has become impossible to turn to other techniques. Moreover, the technique has another inheritance, so naturally it will not covet Wang Jingxuan's sword immortal technique.
Moreover, Fu Yunzhao has a secret in his heart. If the group outside the customs takes something like that at the end of the year, I am afraid that even brother Jingting will not be able to match her cultivation level.
So this girl ran around like crazy all day long, only occasionally going to the Ziyang Palace on the mountain next door to play with the Taoist nuns who were cultivating at the same time.
Every day until meal time, this girl is almost nowhere to be seen.
The little white snake seemed to have let go of itself. Every day, it listened to Fu Yunzhao's ideas and vomited them out. Every day when it was time to eat, it would transform into Fu Yunzhao's appearance and dine at the same table with the two of them in a grand manner.
Apart from other things, the chopsticks became slipperier and slipperier with the use of them. As long as he didn't speak, even Fei Jingting couldn't tell which one was the real person and which one was the transformation of the little white snake.
In contrast, Fei Jingting calmed down. He escaped from the chaotic Jinmen and entered the Tianmu Mountain. He practiced boxing and practiced every day. In his spare time, he talked with Taoist Wang about cultivation issues. He was originally calm.
His temperament became more and more settled.
Look at the clouds and mist covering the sun in the morning, and see the colorful clouds filling the sky at dusk. I sit and watch the clouds rolling in and out, and watch the flowers bloom and fall. But I feel a bit of carefreeness.
Taoist Wang must practice swordsmanship every morning. The swordsmanship is at a suitable speed and is divided into thirty-six ways. A random strike will always attract dust and fallen leaves, which is very magical.
Fei Jingting couldn't help asking, and Wang Jingxuan said that this was the Jingming Thirty-sixth Tiangang Sword, and it was the inferior sword technique of the Jingming Sword Immortal Technique.
This Pure Sword Immortal Technique is divided into three swords and Taoist swords. The Taoist sword has long been lost, and now only the Shujian is left. The Shujian is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, the lower level, the dancing sword, and the sword blade.
Enemy; medium, injure the enemy with the light of the sword; superior, injure with the flying sword, take the enemy's head a hundred steps away!
The Tao sword was so magical that Fei Jingting didn't dare to think about it. Even if it was this sword, he was so jealous. But he couldn't ask for it, so he could only watch Wang Jingxuan while he was practicing his sword every day, and secretly figured it out.
Trying to find out how to use the sword.
How easy is this?
Taoist swordsmanship is a secret. If an outsider learns it after looking at it for a few times, then what kind of secret is it?
There was no sun or moon in the mountains, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During these days, he had gained a lot from discussing mysteries with Wang Jingxuan.
He frankly talked about his Shen Tongqi Kung Fu, but Wang Jingxuan only praised the mystery of Shen Tongqi and showed no desire to covet it. Then Fei Jingting then talked about the subsequent Shen Tongqi Xuannv Sutra, and this time Wang Jingxuan responded.
Already.
The old Taoist priest said meaningfully: "A layman cultivates both yin and yang, and has little success and many failures, so he cannot learn from it; plants, trees, metals, and stones, and medicines can easily mislead people, so he cannot learn from them; he is weird and ignorant, and has traces of superstition, so he cannot learn from it;
Only the method of adhering to Qi has few disadvantages and quick effects. The most holy saints have taught us that it is difficult to cure the immortals by cultivating both life and life. We must first control ourselves and cultivate our minds, be healthy and long-lived, be true both externally and internally, and look up to the immortals who are worthy of their respect.
Gradually, we become like immortals, and we are born in Taoism. If we don’t teach people according to this, it is a sin to teach others. There is no way for people to protect themselves, and they would rather be immortals!”
It is not difficult to understand what Wang Jingxuan said. The success of dual cultivation of Yin and Yang is less than that of failure. I have never heard of the person who achieved enlightenment and ascended by relying on the dual cultivation of Yin and Yang. The plants, wood, metal and stone are talking about alchemy. This thing was very popular during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then gradually became more and more popular.
Declined, eliminated by inner alchemy.
Fei Jingting estimated that either the spiritual power was gradually thinning, so the medicine lost its spirituality; or alchemy was simply impossible for people to ascend, so it was gradually abandoned by Taoist sects and magicians.
Weird and unorthodox, it refers to heresy. It includes Meishan Water Master, Chuma Immortal, Chu Taoist Immortal, Miao Jiang Gu magic and other evil sects and secrets.
This is the difference between Chinese Taoism and other religions in the world.
Why is Taoism called Taoism? Because Taoist priests believe in Tao and hope to ascend to the Tao. This Tao talks about the ultimate principle of the universe.
Taoism also has gods, but these gods are all consecrated by Taoists.
The first Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling Taishang Laojun Zhengyi League's secret urn, the scriptures of the Three Purities, the talisman, the secret of the alchemy, the seal, the sword, the dharma clothes, etc., to rule the eight tribes of ghosts and gods in Shu, and the six heavenly demons, command the five directions, eight tribes and six
The alliance between heaven, ghosts and gods gathered under the altar of the Yellow Emperor in Qingcheng Mountain, and divided the prisons between humans and ghosts into twenty-four palaces of blessing. This is called the twenty-four governance. Each governance has one Yin official and one immortal official to take charge of human affairs, misfortunes and blessings respectively.
.
Later, the Taoist priests painted talismans to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. The talisman that came out was more like a certificate. When the demons and ghosts saw it, they knew that it was a warning from the Taoist sect. If the demons and ghosts continued to harm people, the Taoist priests would use real talismans to catch the ghosts.
Get the demon.
On the other hand, in Western religions, gods are supreme. When mortals encounter disasters, they must pray to gods. If you live well, it is the charity of the gods; if you live poorly, it is the test and punishment of the gods.
Therefore, Taoism is really different from other religions. The person it believes in is not a god, but the supreme Tao.
Fei Jingting had read Dao Zang a lot. How could he not know what Wang Jingxuan said?
So he sighed and said: "Old master, I have lost all my ideas. As a practitioner, I have a bleak future. I am also worried about my path and cannot see clearly the way forward, so I am a little confused."
Wang Jingxuan shook his head and said: "Tao follows nature, why not let nature take its course?"
"Been taught a lesson."
After asking for advice, Fei Jingting was quite doubtful about Shen Tongqi - Xuannv Jing. There was Huang Suizhi before him, and Wang Jingxuan after him. One of them said that it is difficult to achieve elegance by cultivating both Yin and Yang. He only cultivated Yin Dan and achieved Yin.
God; one simply says it cannot be learned.
The Xuannv Sutra was modified by Xuan Xuanzi. He had been practicing for a while and had read a lot of Taoist scriptures. Fei Jingting already knew that Xuanxuanzi was Zhang Sanfeng who lived in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
It is said that Zhenren Zhang finally attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. So, will there be any problems with the Xuannv Sutra that he modified?
In addition, Zhang Sanfeng's Taoism is in Wudang Mountain and belongs to the Quanzhen lineage. Quanzhen's precepts are strict. How could Zhang Sanfeng change a cultivation method that is incompatible with Quanzhen like the Xuannv Sutra?
The doubts in his heart became more and more serious. Fei Jingting thought for a day and then remembered that he had just stepped onto the threshold of refining Qi and transforming Qi. Only one of the twelve meridians had been opened. He was far away from refining Qi and transforming into God. How could he think about it?
Is it so far away?
So he put aside his doubts for the time being and continued his daily boring, tranquil but meaningful life in the mountains.
On this day, Fei Jingting picked up a branch and imitated Wang Jingxuan. He performed a set of Tiangang sword skills quite well, but the Qi movement was always a little less interesting.
After finishing a set of thirty-six Tiangang sword techniques, Fei Jingting stood there and thought about it for a moment, thinking about the mistakes he made just now. At this time, he heard Wang Jingxuan behind him: "The layman has good bones and excellent understanding. No wonder
You have such cultivation at such a young age."
Fei Jingting hurriedly turned around to salute: "I have met Lao Gao Gong. Please forgive me. I have seen Lao Gao Gong practice swordsmanship very wonderfully these days, so I couldn't help but secretly learn a few tricks."
Wang Jingxuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. You can learn it after just a few glances. That only shows that the layman is extremely talented. Besides, my Tiangang Sword Technique is not that easy to learn."
After a pause, Wang Jingxuan looked at Fei Jingting for a long time, and suddenly said: "Fei Jingting, do you want to learn the swordsmanship?"
Fei Jingting said frankly: "To be fair to the old master, the younger generation saw the old master hurt ghosts with the light of his sword, so he wanted to study. However, he tried to exchange precious skills with the old master several times, but the elder
Gao Gong is a person who has emerged from the world and does not care about worldly things. So... I have never been able to speak."
Wang Jingxuan praised: "The layman is kind-hearted and kind-hearted. A few years ago, the old Taoist met a traveler when he went down the mountain and came to rescue him. When the traveler saw the old Taoist's methods, he stalked him and kept pestering him. The old Taoist had no choice but to pass on some kung fu.
, that traveler thought he had learned a superb swordsmanship, so he went down the mountain and caused trouble everywhere. But within two years, this man died in a conspiracy plotted by his enemies."
After a pause, he then said: "Fortunately, he is dead. If not, I'm afraid that as time goes by, this person's character will expand and he will have to do evil things that will be disgusted by gods and abandoned by people. From then on, the old Taoist has learned a lesson, and everyone will teach the Dharma."
, you must first look at the person’s character.”
Fei Jingting's heart moved slightly, what does the old Taoist priest mean? Could it be...
Sure enough, I heard Wang Jingxuan continue to say: "The layman has lived here for more than twenty days. He has a calm mind and is dedicated to pursuing the road. He is also kind-hearted and has a good foundation and understanding. The old Taoist has seen it and has already moved to pass on the mantle.
thoughts."
"Old Gao Gong..."
"Listen to what I have to say." Wang Jingxuan said: "The method of Jingming Sword Immortal has been passed down alone for several generations. One is that the energy of heaven and earth has been lost, and the other is that it is difficult to find the root and bones. It is the best choice for understanding. There are eight people of the Dharma generation in this Taoist temple.
There is no one who can comprehend Yuan Qi, even if there are no lay people, the old Taoist will have to look for good disciples after some time."
After the old Taoist priest sighed, he suddenly looked solemn: "Fei Jingting, you... are you willing to worship me as your teacher and inherit the method of Jingming Sword Immortal?"
What's there to hesitate about?
Fei Jingting immediately lifted up his robe, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Wang Jingxuan respectfully: "Disciple Fei Jingting, I kowtow to my mentor!"
