Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "You know that in Taoist practice, you practice essence to transform into qi, practice qi into spirit, and refine spirit into void. In the martial arts world, it is not a secret."
Li Muchan nodded. He felt that this training outline was extremely subtle. It completely reversed human life and transformation, and he might be able to practice it to the last step.
Taoist Master Feng Ling chuckled and said: "Everyone knows this theory, but the mystery behind it is a Taoist secret, taught orally, not recorded on paper, and outsiders do not know it."
Li Muchan was refreshed and his eyes were bright.
Taoist Master Feng Ling smiled and said, "You are Qingxuan's savior. I won't hide my secrets and will tell you the secrets."
"Thank you, senior!" Li Muchan titheed with a solemn expression.
Taoist Master Feng Ling stroked his beard and waved his hands, and said slowly: "For Taoists, martial arts is a final skill and is not worthy of the Tao. It is definitely not a deliberate derogation to show one's superiority."
Li Muchan's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that this was related to the difference between military martial arts and folk martial arts.
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "The first step is wrong. Practice the essence to transform qi, rather than practice the spirit to transform qi. Most people in the martial arts practice to practice spirit. In this way, not only can the spirit be strengthened, but the spirit will be depleted."
Li Muchan said: "Senior, so to speak, this is the way to learn martial arts in the military."
"Oh, you also know about military martial arts?" Taoist priest Feng Ling was surprised.
Martial arts in the military are never taught to outsiders, and are carried out with such strict strictness that outsiders do not know the secrets.
Li Muchan scratched his head and said sheepishly: "I am now a soldier of the Shenwu Camp."
"What a Canghai Sword Sect!" Taoist Master Feng Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "You only joined the army after you lost your martial arts, right?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded.
"Your qualifications are indeed good." Taoist Master Feng Ling nodded and said: "Military martial arts is indeed an authentic way of practicing refined qi. For people like you, practicing military martial arts is slower than ordinary people.
...Hey, that’s not right, looking at your performance, it doesn’t look like military martial arts!”
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "I practice and practice, and I have become one with the Canghai Divine Skill."
"Well, that's it..." Taoist Master Feng Ling stroking his beard pondered, and nodded after a moment: "No wonder, logically speaking, it makes sense."
"Master?" Taoist Qingxuan was puzzled.
Taoist Master Feng Ling waved his hand to stop what he was saying, and continued: "Practice essence to transform qi. People often understand this essence as the flesh and blood of the body, but this is a big mistake."
He said: "Essence includes all things, the body's flesh and blood, the essence of the earth, the essence of the sky, the essence of the sun, moon and stars, all tangible things are all essence."
Li Muchan frowned and pondered, thoughtfully.
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "The authentic cultivation steps are to first absorb the essence of the earth, nourish the body, and strengthen the body... There is a saying in Buddhism that a skin bag is a treasure raft. If the treasure raft is not strong,
How to cross the river?"
Li Muchan nodded, deeply convinced.
"Your body has been trained extremely well. It seems that you specialize in physical training." Taoist priest Feng Ling said.
Li Muchan said: "This junior is practicing the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility."
Taoist Master Feng Ling touched his palms and exclaimed: "What a magical indestructible power! I never thought that after Zen Master Huiguo, there would be people who could practice it!"
Li Muchan smiled modestly: "It was a fluke. It happened by chance."
"This is the opportunity of Buddhism and the secret of Taoism. You are a blessed person." Taoist Feng Ling sighed.
He continued: "I don't know the mystery of the Vajra Indestructible Magic Technique. It must be an authentic Buddhist method, but I know that practicing the Vajra Indestructible Magic Technique requires profound Buddhist teachings, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
He waved his hands and said solemnly: "Let's get back to the right path!... Jingqi cultivation is also divided into several levels. The first step is the essence of the earth, then the aura of the hollow, that is, the aura of heaven and earth,... and finally the essence of the sun, moon and stars
Only with Qi, the essence of the sun and the moon, can the physical body be indestructible and immortal, and live as long as the heaven and earth."
Li Muchan suddenly realized what he was doing, suddenly gained energy, and suddenly became very energetic.
These days, he has been thinking about the mystery of this, but he can't figure it out. Now when he heard what Taoist Master Feng Ling said, he suddenly felt enlightened and understood everything.
Taoist Master Feng Ling shook his head and sighed: "The first two steps are not difficult. Now that you have practiced the second step... the third step is as difficult as climbing to the sky. If you want to interact with the sun, moon and stars, and draw out their essence, just think about it.
difficult."
Li Muchan nodded slowly, and suddenly remembered his own Heaven-Observing Man-Shen Illumination Sutra. Once he entered the picture, his body was bathed in the essence of the moon, cutting off his hair and washing his marrow.
Taoist Master Feng Ling said: "This step is the natural chasm. For thousands of years, there have been countless cultivators and only a handful of people have become immortals. This step is all it takes!"
"How far has senior reached?" Li Muchan asked.
Taoist Master Feng Ling shook his head and sighed: "I'm standing here too, and I don't know if I have any hope in this life."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, if it's like this, it's even more impossible for me."
Taoist Master Feng Ling quickly adjusted his mood, stroking his beard and said with a smile: "No one can say for sure in this world. You are young and have no one to guide you. To be able to cultivate to this point is a natural talent. You have a secret within you. You must work harder!"
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled.
Taoist Master Feng Ling said: "Practicing Qi Qi is difficult from the beginning to the end, but easy in the middle. You have broken through the first step, and the second step will come naturally. It is not difficult. Let me talk about the experience of the third step... It is best to live in
High places are close to the sun, moon and stars. The closer you are, the greater the chance of sensing."
Li Muchan thought for a while and said: "Senior, the key to this third step is visualization kung fu?"
Taoist Master Feng Ling stroked his beard and chuckled: "What a comprehension!...The key to the third step is to refine the heart. The heart and Qi become one, and continue to exercise until you can sense the Qi of the sun, moon and stars...and then use this Qi to shape the body,
Cultivate an indestructible and indestructible body,...and then cultivate the soul. Only when the body is indestructible can you cultivate the soul. Otherwise, the leakage of the body will consume the soul. If you do not cultivate it, it will not be consumed quickly, and you will not be able to complete it...This is
Refining Qi to transform into a spirit, as for refining the spirit to return to the void, but it is the method of cultivating the soul and entering the immortal world, I don’t know either.”
Li Muchan was thoughtful, and a road to the sky clearly appeared in front of his eyes. The steps were like steps and could be climbed. He felt grateful and bowed deeply: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance!"
Taoist Master Feng Ling waved his hand, stroking his beard and said with a smile: "It's nothing. If you succeed in cultivation one day, you can help Shang Qing Guan, that will be enough!"
Li Muchan nodded slowly: "This is the duty of this junior."
Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Hearing these words is worth ten years of reading. He may even change the world and change his destiny.
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and said: "Senior, how should this junior continue to practice now?"
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "I see that the spiritual energy around you is surging. It is obvious that you have touched the threshold of the second step, and you just need to continue practicing."
"What level of cultivation should we reach in the second step?" Li Muchan asked.
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "After the second step of practice, the body is connected with the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, and it is endless, and the internal power is endless...The third step is to practice, inhale to become wind, exhale to become clouds, exhale to become a gang, there are
Gang Qi protects the body, and the sword cannot hurt it."
Li Muchan said: "This junior doesn't know what to do now."
Taoist Master Feng Ling said: "Taoists say that the second step of cultivation is to form elixirs. The essence of the earth is yin, and the aura of heaven and earth is yang. We must carry the yin and embrace the yang, and combine the two into one. This is the Xiaolonghu elixir method... The third step
Step-by-step elixir, the essence of heaven and earth is yin, the energy of the sun, moon and stars is yang, it is the dragon and tiger elixir method,...The next step is to practice the qi to transform into the spirit, and then the golden elixir ascends to nourish the mind and form the immortal spirit.
."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't know the Dragon and Tiger elixir method. It must be a secret. He had practiced a Ziyang tablet and formed a purple elixir, thinking it was a Taoist elixir method. But now it seems that it is very superficial.
Taoist Master Feng Ling stroked his beard and muttered: "You are practicing the Buddhist method, and the Vajra Indestructible Magic Technique follows a unique path. However, the current situation is strange. The essence of the earth and the essence of the heaven and earth merge into one, and they are indistinguishable from each other... but I
I don’t dare to spread your teaching in vain.”
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "What should I do, junior?"
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "You have to figure it out on your own. I will explain the truth and you can try it and see."
"Master..." Taoist priest Qingxuan cast a pleading look.
Taoist Master Feng Ling glanced at him and said: "The original Dan Dao was also created by humans. I see that Ming Kong has an excellent understanding, so why can't he create his own mental method?"
Taoist Qingxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. If it were so easy to create his own mental method, he would not be able to secretly teach it and would not record it on paper. It would be really difficult for Master Mingkong to create his own mental method.
Taoist Master Feng Ling said: "In my opinion, after practicing this Vajra Indestructible Magic Technique, Master Huiguo cultivated his Vajra Indestructible Body, and his physical body is immortal to this day. This shows that this method is wonderful and has gained the essence of physical training...
…It’s a pity that he failed to cultivate his soul and finally dissipated. …You can’t live forever if you only practice your body but not your spirit.”
Li Muchan said: "It is said that the divine monk Huiguo landed on the other shore and became a Buddha, so he shed his skin."
Taoist Master Feng Ling shook his head: "This is the difference between Buddhism and Taoism. In Buddhism, when you reach perfection and reach the other shore, you have to take off your skin and only hope that the soul will be immortal. Taoism emphasizes immortality, and the body and soul coexist...
...In the Taoist view, the immortality of the body is only the first step, the second step is the immortality of the soul, and the third step is detachment and freedom. You can come and go when you want, and all worlds are like cities, you can travel freely."
He added: "Buddhism only values the soul and is too lazy to practice physical fitness. In my opinion, Buddhism and Taoism have their own success and failure, and it all depends on each person... Some people are suitable for practicing Buddhism, and some are suitable for practicing Taoism.
There is no superiority or inferiority to the law, whether it is suitable or not.”
Li Muchan nodded slowly. He rarely heard about these things. When the master taught the exercises, he mostly explained the subtleties of the mind and rarely talked about them from a high position.
My great-uncle may know this, but he rarely talks about it, only letting him understand it himself.
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "In my opinion, your approach is to practice the indestructible power of Vajra to perfection first, then take the third step to draw the power of the sun, moon and stars to cast a body, and then refine the soul, maybe you can hope for immortality.
."
Taoist Master Feng Ling continued: "Once you have perfected the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility, your lifespan will be much longer. You will have enough time to take the third step. The longer you live, the more hopeful you are for the third step."
Li Muchan's eyes were bright, and his heart was excited. He didn't expect that there was a real way to live forever. He thought it was a trick. After living forever, it would be the best thing to transcend reincarnation.
He knows what death is like and is not afraid of death, but it is a wonderful thing to escape reincarnation.
Taoist Master Feng Ling said: "Your current cultivation level has already reached perfection in the first step, and you have reached the threshold in the second step, but the situation is weird. In my opinion, you should be honest and practice the Vajra Indestructible Magic Technique first.
Let’s see if we can master the second step, or try military martial arts.”
"Yes, thank you, senior." Li Muchan nodded.
Taoist priest Feng Ling said: "I passed on the Dragon and Tiger Alchemy to you for your reference."
Li Muchan was startled, but he nodded without any politeness.
Taoist Master Feng Ling looked solemn, his eyes were shining and his lips were moving, but Taoist Qingxuan could not hear his voice. He could only see Li Muchan nodding his head thoughtfully.
After a while, Taoist priest Feng Ling stopped talking. Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly and remained motionless, his expression as calm as water.
Taoist Qingxuan secretly admired that it was not easy to win the favor of his master and spread the Tao of Dragon and Tiger Alchemy orally, but his master was a arrogant person.
After the tea time, Li Muchan opened his eyes and moved his lips, but made no sound.
Taoist priest Qingxuan knew that he must have mastered the secret art of transmitting sounds into secrets and was talking to the master.
In the following time, Taoist Qingxuan's ears were clear. There was not much time, but Taoist Master Feng Ling and Li Muchan kept moving their lips.
Taoist priest Qingxuan didn't move, and the law was not transmitted to the six ears. The two of them were not avoiding themselves, but they were following the rules to prevent others from listening. He had already learned the way of dragon and tiger alchemy, otherwise, he would not be as good as he is now.
After about a quarter of an hour, Li Muchan and Taoist Master Feng Ling stopped. Li Muchan bowed deeply: "Thank you, senior, for teaching me this skill. I will never forget it!"
Taoist Master Feng Ling waved his hand: "Forget it, don't say these words anymore. Let Qingxuan accompany you for a walk. The scenery of Yulong Mountain is magnificent. Taking a good look at it will also help your cultivation!"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded.
Taoist Qingxuan smiled, got up and left with Li Muchan.
Yulong Mountain is really beautiful. The whole mountain is like a giant dragon, winding away, boundless, connected to the sky and the earth, magnificent and extraordinary.
The highest peak of Yulong Mountain is connected to the sky, hidden in the clouds, and the top cannot be seen. Out of curiosity, I followed Taoist Qingxuan up there and found that the top is covered with snow that never melts all year round.
Above the white snow, there is a small hut, made of stone, which is quite simple.
"Master often retreats here." Taoist Qingxuan pointed to the hut.
The two men were dressed in hunting clothes, and the cold wind was biting. If it weren't for their internal strength to protect their bodies, their blood would have solidified long ago.
Li Muchan suddenly realized that this might be the closest place to the sun, moon and stars, so Taoist Feng Ling meditated on the third step here.
"Which star will the senior lead?" Li Muchan asked.
Taoist Qingxuan understood what he was asking and pointed to the sky. The sun was high in the sky and the sunshine was warm.
