Chapter 12: Chang Xiaomeng, Open the Heavenly Gate
When the master saw that I had finished paying my respects to all directions, he quickly stepped forward to thank the old man in white robes and entertained him with good cigarettes and wine.
The old man in white robe waved his hand and interrupted, saying that it would be better to let his son enter my hall first, so as to settle the cause and effect.
The master was very happy and seemed to have hit his mark. He quickly asked me to sit cross-legged and meditate, preparing to receive the immortal family into the hall.
I quickly sat cross-legged and followed the master's usual instructions, closing my eyes slightly, looking at my nose, my nose and my heart, and my heart at my Dantian.
Regarding this set of meditation postures, I specifically asked a master for advice.
Master said that opening your eyes can easily breed distracting thoughts, and closing your eyes completely can easily make you drowsy, both of which are not conducive to cultivation.
Therefore, the eyes should be slightly closed and the eyelids should droop naturally so that the objects in front of you can be seen but not clearly. The ears should be shielded from all external interference and listen attentively.
At the same time, the surface of the tongue is rolled back, and the bottom surface of the tongue tip is pressed against the upper palate. First, slowly exhale the turbid air in the body, and then inhale the clear air from the nose, intending to swallow the lower Dantian to supplement the exhaled air.
Also note that when exhaling, you should exhale completely, and when inhaling, you should inhale fully. When inhaling, the lower abdomen should be retracted, and when exhaling, the lower abdomen should be bulged. Strive to lead the air with the heart and follow the heart with the air. When inhaling, feel free to recite the Dantian and exhale.
When the breath is brought out of the body with thoughts, this is the "interdependence of heart and breath".
I meditated for a while, and my thoughts gradually became clearer, and the spiritual platform was empty. Suddenly I felt a body shape entering the space of consciousness. Maybe it was because I was too seriously injured. The body shape was a bit scattered, and I couldn't see its specific face clearly.
He calls himself Chang Xiaomeng and has been practicing Taoism for 800 years. A few years ago, he felt that a thunderstorm was approaching and he hurriedly hid in the mountains. Unexpectedly, he was hit by a sky fire halfway and hit the roof of my house.
I was robbed too, and he was deeply sorry for it.
He also said that the heavenly fire would have burned his soul to pieces and he could not withstand it at all, but unexpectedly, I shared the disaster and escaped from the soul, but my body was destroyed.
I'm secretly happy that the first immortal in the hall has 800 years of Taoism. In one word, it's fierce! From now on, I won't be able to walk sideways!
As if he knew what I was thinking, Chang Xiaomeng smiled bitterly and said that now that he has no physical body, his Taoism is not as good as before, his strength is about the same as it was in 300 years, and he cannot accomplish any big things.
Maybe he was afraid that I would be too disappointed, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, he can make up for his cultivation soon, the foundation is still there, just ten or eight more years will be enough."
I thought to myself that 300 years would be fine, it would be better than nothing. I heard the old man in white robe say that it is not easy for me to accept the immortal family, so I should just do it and cherish it. Every one counts.
Next, Chang Xiaomeng told me to be prepared. He was going to have an orifice, and it might hurt a little, so bear with it.
I've often heard my master talk about orifices, so it's not new to me.
I know that the first orifice to be opened is the main acupoint Baihui point, also called Kaitianmen.
The main function of this acupoint is to receive spiritual energy from the sky. Most immortals enter through this acupoint, so it is usually called Tianmen.
Another effect is the soul leaving the body. If the heavenly door is not opened, it will be very difficult and tiring for the soul to leave the body, and many things will not be accomplished.
In Qigong, opening this acupuncture point is also called Xiao Zhoutian. If this acupoint is opened, the person can be said to have a semi-immortal body.
As soon as I got ready, the feeling came. Chang Xiaomeng was really happy to do things without any delay.
At first, my head felt a little swollen, tight and dull, which was not comfortable.
Then it felt like something was pressing down on my head, like a tight band on my head, which was being squeezed in little by little, as if my head was being kneaded and squeezed hard by two invisible and powerful hands, getting tighter and tighter.
, it hurts more and more.
"boom"
Just when I couldn't stand it anymore and screamed loudly, it felt like a thunderbolt exploded in my head!
The shock made me tremble all over, and then my head felt like a string of 500-shot "earth red" firecrackers were lit, crackling for a while.
The temple, Tianmu, Yuzhen, and Yintang points also experienced bursts of tingling pain, like needle pricks.
I didn't know what was going on, so I was too scared to move. I just held on to my thoughts and continued to meditate.
Suddenly, my whole body felt relaxed and comfortable, light and airy. I felt that my body had become different. I couldn’t tell what was different, but I felt so good!
The amazing thing is that I didn't open my eyes and turn my head, but I could clearly see the master behind me, the white-robed protector Old Xian'er, Old Man Su and Willow Beard. They were gathering together to smoke, drink, and eat meat. They were very busy.
, didn’t care about me at all.
Chang Xiaomeng's voice rang in my consciousness at this time. He said that I was lucky and was a good practitioner. He easily opened the Baihui point and also opened the heavenly eye. This situation is rare.
He sounded a little tired and said he was going to meditate. If I had anything to do, I could just call his name in my heart and he would come out immediately.
I stood up and stretched my muscles. The master smiled and asked me how I felt.
I told the master that I could see them without turning my head with my eyes closed. The master was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed, saying that I was worthy of being his disciple of Bai Wentian, that’s how awesome I am!
The master told me that he originally wanted to help me open my heavenly eyes. With my heavenly eyes open, I can see things and spiritual entities in all directions around me without turning my head, which will be of great help in dealing with things.
Unexpectedly, I rushed away on my own!
He explained that the Baihui point and the Heavenly Eye are connected, and only a very small number of people have the opportunity to open the Heavenly Eye in one fell swoop when they open the Baihui Point.
The acupoints of Taiyang, Celestial Eye, Jade Pillow, and Yintang are equivalent to the portals of the Celestial Eye, so opening the Celestial Eye will also open these acupoints.
I suddenly realized that no wonder the acupuncture points of Taiyang, Celestial Eye, Jade Pillow, and Yintang were also tingling, like needle pricks. It turned out that the Celestial Eye was being opened.
The old man in white robe looked at me kindly, as if he were a younger member of his family. Before leaving, he told me to be careful. He said that I was the one to be robbed, and there would be many difficulties and dangers waiting for me.
Outside the cabin, it was already dark. When I recalled what I had experienced this night, I felt in a daze and could not believe that I had already embarked on the path of spiritual practice and had my own church.
Old Man Su and Liu Huzi drank so much that they wanted to go back down the mountain.
The master grabbed their necks with one hand, stared at them with a smile, and cursed: "Don't you fucking pretend to be ignorant, how can you get drunk with just this little cat urine? No one can let you down now, since you have suffered.
My disciple’s seniority ceremony, you don’t want to leave something good as a greeting gift, so you want to run away?”
Willow Beard slapped his forehead and shouted in a loud voice, "You were in too much of a hurry when I came here. I forgot to bring it when I went out. Can you make up for it next time?"
"That's right, it came out in a hurry, I'll make it up next time!" Old Man Su quickly helped.
When I see them like this, how can they be a little drunk?
"Don't be ridiculous. If I had to do it myself, I would just pick the best one." The master puffed his beard and glared.
"Okay, here, why don't I give it to you? I know that if I come to you, I will inevitably get stabbed." Old man Su cursed and took out a stack of talismans from his pocket, and handed it to the master with a pained face.
The master grabbed it, took a look at it, and scolded with squinting eyes: "They say that an iron rooster doesn't pluck a hair, but this is a stainless steel rooster, and it doesn't even shed any rust! You are fooling the devil with this pile of junk! Where are the gold and silver ones?
Just want to do something with a few red cards?"
Old man Su became anxious and yelled: "You think the golden and silver talismans are just lumps of dirt? They are everywhere? Don't say there are none, there are some. With your apprentice's little skills, can they be used? You don't have to wait for the evil spirit to die first, your apprentice will have to
Die from the backlash first! Besides, the talismans I gave you are all blood talismans, drawn with virgin blood and Yiyang blood, not the crappy stuff like black dog blood, so don’t be ignorant of the goods!"
The master was not confident enough, so he rubbed his nose and muttered in a low voice, "I know, I know, stop making noise, and give me another head start and give this boat to my apprentice!"
"Gungungun, I'll give it to you! Don't worry!"
"Haha, that's ridiculous, it's your turn Willow Beard!"
Willow Beard coquettishly looked like a little girl who had just come out of the house. He took out a small package from his arms and dumped it on the altar table with a clatter.
It turned out to be a pile of big money, shiny and golden, so beautiful.
I picked up one out of curiosity, and saw that this big coin was different from ordinary ones. On top of the round shape, there was an extra piece, like an ancient scholar's hat, with the word "Gui" inside.
The front is engraved with "Thunder and thunder, kill ghosts and subdue spirits, slay demons and ward off evil spirits, keep the spirit pure forever, serve the Taishang Laojun as urgent as the law and order. Lei Lingshan ghost", and the back is the Yangwen Bagua pattern in regular script and Qian, Dui, Li.
, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun eight regular script Yangwen.
"Okay, here's another stainless steel cock!" the master slapped the table and said.
"This is one hundred and eight gold pieces of special mountain ghost money. It would be best to make a sword for your apprentice. Are you still picky? What else do you want!" Willow Beard said angrily.
"Don't you have a judge's pen?" the master said with a smile.
"What? You really dare to think that! You old Bideng, that judge's pen is an heirloom of my Liu family, made of the spirit bones and spirit tails of demon foxes that have been practicing for thousands of years! How can you give it away casually!" Willow Beard gritted his teeth and was very angry.
.
"You're a rough guy, and it's obvious at first glance that you're not the type to use a pen. Why don't you give the judge's pen to my apprentice to make a good relationship," the master coaxed.
"Hey, don't you have a daughter who is about the same age as Bai Xiaozi? You can just make a baby and kiss her. We are all a family, so what's the difference between you and me?" Old Man Su teased at the side.
Willow Beard's back molars gritted loudly, and he slapped the table hard in anger, and said bitterly: "You two are just working together to frame my baby, and nothing I say can be leaked out! Unless, you take this
Give me this kid to be my apprentice!"
The master is like a rooster that has lost a fight, it has wilted and is silent.
"How's it going? Are you quitting? A gentleman doesn't take what others like, so you two should follow suit!" Willow Beard added a sour word, looking very proud of himself.
After packing up, it was daybreak, and Old Man Su and Willow Beard parted ways.
My master and I went down the mountain and happened to encounter Gou Shengzi and Tiedan'er squatting on Guluer Snowball in the open space at the entrance of the village, apparently trying to build a snowman.
I told my master that I wanted to play with them, and he told me not to freeze and to go home as soon as I could.
Gou Shengzi and Tiedan'er were very happy when they saw me coming. They asked me where I had been. They couldn't find anyone early in the morning. I didn't dare to talk about what happened last night. The master told me that no one could tell me about these things.
Accurately say.
I asked them why they didn't find "Monkey" to play with. They said that "Monkey" was sulking at home and his mother ran away with someone else.
We didn’t pay much attention at the time, but we didn’t expect that something would happen in the end! This chapter has been completed!
