Shi Xuan woke up from the darkness with a splitting headache. He also vaguely remembered the great pain of being hit by a ten-wheel truck. He saw the sun shining on his chest, feeling warm. He slowly felt the presence of his body, not only
I sighed deeply, I was really lucky, I was hit by a big truck and flew so far, but I still survived. At this time, many memory fragments popped up in my mind, and my head was as big as a bucket.
It turned out that he was already dead, but an antique bead that he bought as a talisman suddenly shone brightly, wrapped his soul, tore open the rift in space, came to this world, and possessed the unlucky man he is now.
This body now is that of a little Taoist priest with a little magic power. His original name was Du Bai. Ten years ago, there was a drought in Qingzhou. His parents took him, who was only eight years old at the time, to flee south. As a result, they both fell dead on the roadside. Du Bai
The boy was not bad luck. Before he died of starvation, he was spotted by the passing Taoist Xu and was accepted as his disciple. Du Bai also had good qualifications. In just ten years, he had already cultivated to the state of nourishing the spirit and strengthening the soul, and was deeply impressed by Xu.
Old Taoist priests value it.
In my memory, Xu Laodao often said that in the two capitals and thirteen states, there are only about ten people with real magic power. And those with his magic power, plus those who are hidden in the world, are probably only one palm. Just because he himself
He spent his whole life searching for the immortal way, so he was not famous in the world.
When Taoist Xu was a child, he had an unexpected encounter and discovered the true story. He practiced non-stop and had a strong desire to seek the Tao. He never married, and he practiced to the realm of out-of-body souls at the age of thirty. However, in the next ten years, he only developed profound skills and achieved breakthroughs in realms.
He had no direction anymore. So he went out to visit famous mountains and fairy waters, as well as places with various supernatural legends, in search of immortals, but they were all like dreams and could not be found. At the age of 100, although there were still a few places that he had not been to, he finally found his heart.
Frustrated, he planned to return to his hometown.
On his way back to his hometown, he thought that he was a hundred years old and did not have a good life for more than ten years. He did not want the orthodoxy he had accepted and what he had learned to be lost, so he decided to accept Du Bai as his disciple.
After returning to his hometown, Xu Taoist discovered that although his family was still there, the relatives he was familiar with had already passed away in the past few years, and he did not know the few living juniors, so he simply bought a small house in the west of the city.
He stayed in the hospital and trained Du Bai with peace of mind. While teaching him Taoism, he also talked about his life's experience of traveling around and slaying ghosts and demons. Ten years passed like this, and the old Taoist priest's deadline came. After falling asleep one night, he never died again.
wake up.
Du Bai and Lao Tao had lived together for ten years, and were naturally extremely grieved. Therefore, after burying Lao Tao, they could not get rid of distracting thoughts during a meditation, and the inner demons arose, leading to the death of their bodies and souls.
Shi Xuan slowly sat up, stood in front of the bed and moved his hands and feet to calm down. Then he sat cross-legged and learned the technique in the memory fragments to start breathing. After one week of breathing, he opened his eyes, thinking that he was still a little small.
Fortunately, if this kid didn't go crazy while visualizing, but went crazy while meditating, I don't know how much damage the body's meridians will be. Even if he is possessed, I don't know how long he can live, and whether he can travel again by then.
There are two more things to say. Now the body’s meridians are only slightly damaged. If you take medicine and work through it, they will be intact within half a month.
As for the little bead that brought him through time travel, as soon as he had the memory, he wanted to see what happened, but he had just accepted the memory, and his thoughts were confused. In addition, he had just come through time, and his emotions were still unstable. At this time, he forced himself to enter meditation.
It's impossible to say that he would end up in a tragic situation like that stupid boy's inner demon attacking him.
Based on his memory, Shi Xuan found three incense sticks in the bedside grid. This is a kind of calming sandalwood. Xu Laodao collected the materials himself and made it. It is very precious. He put the incense on the wooden table in the incense burner.
Next, he took a copper basin, opened the door, and drew a basin of water from the small well in the small courtyard. It was also a relive of his previous experience of going to the countryside to draw water from the well.
Carrying the copper basin, he returned to the room, put it away and locked the door. Then he washed his face with cold water and dried his face. Shi Xuan suddenly felt refreshed, and then slowly put on a new set.
Taoist robe. Doing these is just a means. The purpose is to slowly calm down the emotions through such solemn actions and gradually stabilize the mind. This is why many religions always have many rituals. One of the reasons is this, to calm down the emotions and empty the mind.
Of course, in religion, this state coupled with the influence of the atmosphere of many people doing the same thing around you makes it more convenient to preach.
Shi Xuan learned the method from memory, transferred the energy and blood of the body, and then chanted the incantation. It took about ten breaths. A flame appeared on his finger and ignited three incense sticks. Shi Xuan was novel and disappointed at the same time.
In my previous life, as a person who had a special liking for immortals, I traveled to a world where I could cultivate immortals and use Taoism. The novelty was inevitable. In addition, my parents in my previous life were overworked in their early years and both passed away before they were even sixty years old. I had nothing to worry about.
I was able to accept the fact of time travel relatively quickly, so I became curious about this world. I was disappointed that such a weak ignition technique had to be so slow to be used, and its power was still so small. I was really disappointed.
In my memory, Master Xu Tianshi said that in the first stage of training, the body and soul are only strong, but you can't cast spells. In the second stage, you can cast spells, but the power is small, there are many steps, and it takes a long time. In head-to-head combat and
The internal masters in the martial arts world (which can also be regarded as the Qi-nurturing period) are not at the same level of combat effectiveness, so they often use talismans and seals and set up altars in advance to prepare for rituals before using spells. Of course, if there is a magic weapon, then it must be used first.
.
Only in the third stage, when the soul leaves the body and the soul becomes magical, can one slowly develop some minor supernatural powers. In addition, in addition to a few basic ones, the minor magical powers also vary according to each person's soul and practice skills. This stage is the same as entering the subtle realm of Jianghu.
Grandmasters have their own merits, and when prepared, they are better than martial arts masters. As for Taoism, the power is enhanced, but there are many things like transporting energy and blood, making hand seals and chanting mantras. For more powerful Taoism, you need to meditate.
Fighting on the Gang is really time-consuming, so fighting with people usually involves using talismans, small magical powers, magic weapons, or even fists and feet.
Of course, Taoism is magical, and you don’t necessarily have to fight head-on to win. If a Taoist priest in the Qi-building and soul-building stage is prepared, it is relatively easy to kill the master of the inner circle. As for the following stages, Xu Tianshi doesn’t know much about it.
Only when old friends get along with each other, and when they reach the golden elixir-cultivating stage, can they move their thoughts and cast magic spells, destroying cities and rivers, can they be regarded as immortals.
After calming down his mind, Shi Xuan held three incense sticks and bowed three times in the air to comfort the soul of this body. Then he put incense sticks and sat cross-legged on the bed with his five hearts facing the sky. Fortunately, this body often fell into meditation.
Now with the help of sandalwood, Shi Xuan slowly entered samadhi. As soon as he entered samadhi, he found that his soul was attracted to the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows. The small bead was suspended quietly, the light was dim, but a ray of light was emitted from it, bringing
A message came to Shi Xuan's soul.
It turns out that this small bead is an acquired spiritual thing in this world, called the Mountain and River Pearl, and was acquired by the ancient great power Qingyunzi. However, after Qingyunzi condensed the two flowers of the Golden Immortal (Hedao), he committed a murderous robbery and perished with everyone.
Before he died, he thought of walking alone. His teacher, Taoist Yu Yu, had seen through the Tao and escaped from this world to open up a new world. He could not let the Taoism be lost in this world, so he took his teacher's Taoism and the fundamental method of his practice, "Shangqing".
"Yu Yu Zhenzhen Chuan Du E De Dao Bao Lu" was left in this acquired spiritual object, the Mountain and River Pearl, which had just been obtained but had not yet been sacrificed. He used his last magic power to break the void and sent it out.
Unexpectedly, Shanhezhu encountered a time and space shock on the way and traveled to another world, that is, the earth where Shi Xuan is. Later, he slowly accumulated strength over millions of years. Under the stimulation of Shi Xuan's blood first and then his soul after his car accident, his strength exploded.
After he came out, Shi Xuan was brought out by the time and space sign that Qingyunzi left in the Shanhe Pearl, which was once created by Taoist Yu Yu to prove the Tao, which is the hometown of Qingyunzi - Yu Yutian Great World.
After passing on this message, a mysterious Taoist book was passed on to Shi Xuan's soul. The soul itself was completely dimmed, and it seemed that it was slowly regaining its strength.
Shi Xuan learned from Qing Yunzi's message at the beginning of the Taoist book that Taoism in this world is divided into two major levels: Qi training and Yuanshen. Qi training is further divided into: nourishing the soul, strengthening the soul, leaving the body, entraining Qi, divine soul, and metal.
There are seven stages of Dan and Yin Shen. The Yuan Shen stage is divided into Yuan Shen, Yang Shen, Heaven and Man, Hedao, Creation, and Eternity.
Of course, the names of the above stages are only abbreviations. For example, the full name of the Qi training stage is: training the body and nourishing the soul, nourishing the Qi and strengthening the soul, leaving the body, guiding Qi and forging the soul, uniting the soul and spirit, cultivating the golden elixir, and condensing the Yinshen.
Among them, after practicing the two steps of forging the body and nourishing the soul, nourishing the qi and strengthening the soul, you can reach the limit of your life span. When the soul leaves the body, you can live for thirty more years, about 120 years old. When you draw the qi and strengthen the soul, you can live longer.
When Yuan reaches two hundred years old, the lifespan of the soul and soul is increased to three hundred years. The lifespan of the master in the golden elixir stage reaches six hundred years, and the Yin Shen Lord can live to one thousand two hundred years old.
After the Yuan Shen level, Qing Yunzi only briefly mentioned the Yuan Shen Zhenren who had crossed the threshold of life and death, also known as the Ghost Immortal Zhenren, who lived as long as heaven and earth, but had to survive various tribulations, and told Shi Xuan not to let his body suffer devastating damage, otherwise
He was unable to achieve the Yuan Shen, and said that after the Yuan Shen was achieved, the second half of the Baolu volume - the Yuan Shen Chapter - would appear.
Shi Xuan woke up from sedation. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the contents of the first half of "Du'e De Dao Bao Lu". It seems that soul memory is indeed much more effective. But now is not the time to practice.
The most important thing is to think about your future path and how to take it.
Because as a time traveler, you have no foundation. If you don’t have any plans for the future, it will be difficult for your mind to settle down. With direction, steps, and goals, the whole person will feel at ease. To paraphrase what is often said nowadays,
Only in this way can we have a sense of security. It is precisely before we can calm our minds that we can calm our minds. In modern society, how many people are empty and restless because they have no goals or have goals but no plans and steps.
Of course, I don’t know much information now, so I can only make a rough plan. I will make modifications later when I know more or encounter something.
This is also the logic that a cautious science and engineering person like Shi Xuan is most accustomed to.
