Chapter 14: Refining Qi and Bringing Out the Yin God
Red cloud rosin is harvested from a Qi-level demon tree called red cloud pine in the mountains. This tree is accustomed to strangulating living people, wild beasts, and monsters, and making a living by devouring blood with its roots.
The red cloud rosin is the most precious thing in its body except the wood core. However, the rosin is poisonous and difficult to be used as medicine, so it is mostly used to blend into talisman ink.
Xu Dao opened the jade bottle and looked at the rosin in the bottle, which was as bright as blood and as heavy as silver, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes.
He took the inkstone, slowly poured the rosin into the inkstone, and poured in half a tael of cinnabar, and then slowly ground it with a medicine-pounding tool.
The rustling grinding sound makes you feel extremely comfortable in your ears.
When a pool of bright red jade-like liquid appeared in the inkstone, Xu Dao stopped grinding. He held the talisman pen in his hand, silently recited the heart secret of the Tona method, and at the same time visualized the Taiyin pattern in his mind.
In the state of seclusion, Xu Dao could enter the cultivation state again within three breaths. As soon as his mind calmed down, he immediately held the talisman pen, soaked the tip of the pen with rosin talisman ink, and then leaned over the uncharacterized urn to draw.
Practice makes perfect, Xu Dao seemed to be doing it at random, but a delicate and charming lunar moon wheel pattern soon appeared on the uncharacterized urn.
This picture is so lifelike that when Xu Dao glanced at it, it looked like a blood moon on the paper, as bright as a disk.
He picked up the unmarked talisman and shook it slightly, suddenly feeling that the talisman in his hand was much heavier.
Xu Dao stared at the talisman in his hand, then looked at the brazier burning charcoal fire in front of him, took a deep breath, and said to himself: "It depends on this time!"
Since he has been in seclusion, Xu Dao has long had the feeling that he is about to break through the seclusion. With just one final step, he can practice the breathing method to perfection and condense the talisman seeds!
It's just that for many Taoists, this last kick may take several years, or even a lifetime...
For a time, many ideas flashed through Xu Dao's mind, but he just chuckled, flicked his wrist, and flicked the uncharacterized jar in his hand into the brazier.
The preparations that need to be made have been made. The character-less urn can indeed speed up the condensation of talismans. Why should Xu Dao worry about this or that anymore.
The talisman fell into the brazier and was burned by the flames. The rune pattern outlined on it began to separate from the talisman paper, and slowly became entrenched three feet above the talisman paper, condensing into a delicate and small moon wheel.
There is no need to add any more talisman ink. The character-less urn made of red cloud rosin can successfully condense a shadow of the talisman using only the material on the surface of the talisman.
But Xu Dao stared at the shadow of the talisman. He pondered for a few times, then suddenly picked up the inkstone and poured all the talisman ink in the inkstone onto the uncharacterized jar in the fire.
Zizzi!
A burning sound sounded, and blood-red threads sprang out in large numbers from the fire, quickly wrapping around the shadows of the talismans floating in the air.
Buzzing, the shadow of the talisman trembled slightly, and it was unprecedentedly solid.
Xu Dao said in his heart: "Let's work hard together!"
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the talisman on the fire.
Take the talisman seed, pick it into the palm of your hand, close your hand and make the secret, and place it in the lower Dantian.
Xu Dao immediately closed his eyes slightly, listened with his ears, and followed his breathing, sinking his mind into his lower Dantian.
There are three Dantian in the human body, namely the upper, middle and lower Dantian. The upper Dantian is located at the Niwan point between the eyebrows, the middle Dantian is located at the Tanzhong point between the breasts, and the lower Dantian is located three inches inward from the navel.
To practice Qi, Taoists need to first calm the mind and set fire three inches below the navel of the human body, that is, the lower Dantian.
Over time, a primitive nebula-like rotating object will gather in the lower Dantian, as heavy as "lead", which is called "qi". This is true energy.
For Taoists, true energy is a bridge that can communicate with heaven and earth through the human body. It can change the void into reality, turn decay into magic, and has the power to conquer the creation of heaven and earth, so it is also called "magic power".
"Huang Ting Jing Yan": "Immortals and Taoist priests do not have gods. They accumulate essence and energy to achieve reality."
Concentrating on the Qi points in this way, the Taoist constantly absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which evolves into the innate nature. When practicing, it is like a baby breathing, inhaling and exhaling, very slow and deep, which is the "fetal breath".
After the fetal breath, the Yin Shen comes out to officially "refining Qi".
Xu Dao had already entered his fetal breath for a long time. As soon as he fell into silence, he felt his own true energy. At the same time, the talismans condensed from the characterless urn were attracted by his soul and slowly swallowed into his brain.
Boom! As soon as the talisman entered his brain, Xu Dao felt the spiritual platform tremble, as if a solid rock had exploded.
He looked inside and suddenly felt the spiritual text flashing in his mind, characters flowing like a heavy rain. At the same time, Xu Dao felt as if he was in the moon palace, with white light all over his body, and he became the light.
This soft light made his body transparent and made every inch of his body feel happy.
In the dark quiet room, a line of pure white light that could be seen appeared above Xu Dao's head, blooming softly and brightly.
Investigating its source, this pillar of light actually comes from the horizon and is formed by the condensed moonlight falling down.
Xu Dao's whole body was shrouded in the moonlight, and he was as white as a jade, with a gleaming skin. His mouth seemed to be smiling but not a smile, and his eyes were lowered, revealing his divine light.
At this time, in Xu Dao's spiritual platform, a round and lumpy thing had quietly been born.
It looks like the Mid-Autumn Festival moon, hanging brightly in the Xu Dao Niwan cave, releasing light and cleaning the spiritual platform.
This thing is exactly the talisman seed, the talisman seed condensed by the lunar moonlight breathing method!
With this talisman in place, Xu Dao can from now on be able to continuously breathe in and out the Dharma. The Dharma can follow the heartbeat, breathe in the moonlight at any time, and develop it into true Qi.
As long as the moonlight lasts, Xu Dao's inner energy will never run out.
"The barrier has been broken!"
Xu Dao felt a great joy in his heart, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
If he were not in silence, he would want to laugh three times to congratulate him. Not laughing is not enough for the Dao!
"The uncharacterized urn is a truly rare item. It can replenish the vitality-condensing talismans and improve the proficiency of spells. From now on, you can cultivate the talismans internally and refine the talismans externally, or you can hear the Tao..."
Many imaginative thoughts filled Xu Dao's mind for a while, but what excited him most at the moment was the "Yin Shen leaving the body" action.
Xu Dao dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind. He settled his thoughts and immediately mobilized the tumbling Zhenqi in his body. It began to steam up from the lower Dantian, pass through the internal organs, and go all the way up to the Upper Dantian through the middle Dantian.
Gurgling DC.
Boom, as soon as the true energy entered his mind, it was as if a mercury stream was rolling through his body, making the sound of thousands of troops galloping.
Xu Dao only felt his body sway, and he felt as if he had taken off a heavy layer of armor. He could jump away at any time without being restrained.
This is his method of "returning essence and replenishing the brain", drawing the true energy into the Niwan acupoint and breaking open the barrier between the soul and the body. Therefore, the three souls and seven souls condense into Yin Shen, which can escape from the body at any time.
Ordinary Taoist boys and even some mortals can do this. They will feel that they are so light that they can go with the wind. But once they really go with the wind, their souls will immediately leave their bodies and their lives will be in danger.
But Xu Dao is not the case,
At this time, the Taiyin Moonlight Breathing Method he practiced has been condensed into talisman seeds, which can be kept in the Niwan Cave forever, allowing his true energy to circulate continuously, and the Yin God is not afraid of wind and rain.
Now that things have come to this, Xu Dao will no longer act cowardly. He immediately opens his "eyes", shakes his "body" slightly, stands up, and leaves the physical body.
An illusory and transparent Xu Dao suddenly appeared in the quiet room.
This is Xu Dao’s body within the body, the object in the heart, and the yin spirit!
The physical appearance of Yin Shen is the same as that of Xu Dao, but the center of his eyebrows is slightly bright, as if there is a diamond hidden in it, which is indestructible.
The thing between his eyebrows is the talisman seed condensed by Xu Dao. This species was planted in his Niwan Cave, and even more so in the Niwan Cave of his Yinshen.
At this time, Xu Dao Yin Shen's whole body is Yin and belongs to the ghost category. Only a little bit of Yang between his eyebrows is the hub of Zhen Qi, which combs the Zhen Qi all over his body to stabilize the Yin Shen.
For a moment, Xu Dao felt light and spiritual, and he had many insights in his heart. He thought happily: "Is this an out-of-body experience?"
Xu Dao jumped on the spot and found that he could still feel the air and dust, and could also step on stones and soil, but as long as he used his magic power, he could squeeze it in like water into a sponge.
What surprised Xu Dao even more was that the moonlight was continuously squeezing into his Yin Shen body.
Hua la la, like a waterfall washing away the Yinshen, strengthening the true energy...
