The old Taoist priest's eyes flashed with light, and he slowly said: "What is 'Tao'?" Linghu Heng was stunned. He thought that the old Taoist priest would test his endorsement, but he did not expect this weird question. Linghu Heng hesitated for a moment.
After meeting, he remembered what was mentioned in "Proving the Way", so he memorized that paragraph: "The Tao is originally non-existent, yin and yang are generated later, and all things are born. It is independent and does not change, and it circulates without peril. This is the Tao. The old Tao
Big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and humans are also big. There are four majors in the domain, and humans live in one of them. Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
After Linghu Heng recited it, he thought the old Taoist priest would nod in praise, but he saw the old Taoist priest shook his head and said: "This is just an explanation in the book, not yours. When did you realize what 'Tao' is?"
Come to me and I will teach you the exercises."
Linghu Heng thought to himself: "Did this old Taoist priest do it on purpose? I obviously recited it! Who doesn't know that it is from the book? Can you explain clearly what 'Tao' is? Pretending to be mysterious!"
"Linghu Heng only said that the old Taoist priest deliberately made things difficult for him. With a competitive spirit, he turned around and left the old Taoist priest's room without saying much.
After leaving the room, Linghu Heng was depressed, but he didn't know how to vent his feelings. He walked into the depths of the bamboo forest boredly. After all, he had been here for so many days and had not yet walked through this bamboo forest! However, the bamboo forest
There was really no other scenery, except for the lush bamboos and the lush grass. However, Linghu Heng had a good eye and saw an unusual light in the distance. Linghu Heng
Curiosity aroused, he couldn't help but walk forward. The further he walked, the brighter the light, and Linghu Heng could see more clearly. It turned out that there was a small pool in front of him, and several cranes were playing in the pool with extremely graceful movements. There were also other things in the pool.
There were a few water lilies in bud and a few lotus leaves floating on the water. Linghu Heng took a closer look and saw, oh, there were a few small fish in the pool, and a clear spring slowly flowed out from the bottom of the pool, which was quite interesting.
Fan Yiyi. Linghu Heng also noticed that the flat land not far from the water pool had been cultivated into a small vegetable garden. Several types of vegetables were planted in it, and a melon shed was also erected. Although it was crooked, there were several melon knots.
Between the pedicles, it hangs down from the melon shed.
Linghu Heng thought: "This is probably done by a big guy, so how could an old Taoist priest do such a thing!" Linghu Heng didn't care anymore, took off his shoes and socks, sat by the pool, and dipped his feet in the water.
Suddenly I felt a sense of comfort. The cranes didn't seem to be afraid of strangers, they were still playing on their own and ignored Linghu Heng. Linghu Heng looked at them with interest, and all the troubles in his heart were swept away.
.
Naturally, Linghu Heng also recalled the question asked by the old Taoist priest just now, "What is 'Tao'?" This is an eternal problem. Even the Taoist "Sanqing" couldn't explain it clearly, let alone him? Linghu Heng no longer
Go ahead and think about this problem. Anyway, just do whatever you want and do whatever you want!
After a rare moment of leisure, Linghu Heng also fell asleep comfortably. He looked up at the blue sky. Suddenly, a bird flashed past. The bamboo forest was completely quiet, except for the faint chirping of insects from time to time. It all seemed like
It was natural and not forced at all. Linghu Heng also completely let go of his heart. After a while, he naturally integrated into this quiet environment.
I don't know how long it took, but when Wu Zhen came over with a bucket to fetch water, he found Linghu Heng lying here. He was very surprised and said, "Junior brother, why are you lying here?" Linghu Heng then stopped.
The man who blended into nature withdrew, stood up, smiled at Wu Zhen, and said, "Big man, are you here to fetch water for cooking?"
Wu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, but we all have to drink your foot-washing water tonight!" As he spoke, Wu Zhen's eyes did not leave Linghu Heng's wet feet.
Linghu Heng was stunned for a moment, then the two of them looked at each other and burst out laughing. Then, after Wu Zhen loaded the water, he put it on his shoulder, and he and Linghu Heng returned to the bamboo house talking and laughing. Unexpectedly,
, the Taoist Taoist of Silence also came out of the house and asked the two of them: "Have you figured it out?" This sentence was obviously meant for Linghu Heng.
When Wu Zhen saw his master here, he stopped joking and quickly carried water into the kitchen and started cooking. Linghu Heng thought for a while and replied: "I still don't understand, but I thought that as long as I follow my heart
, just let nature take its course, and don’t worry about what Tao is anymore.”
Linghu Heng thought Taoist Taoist Silence would still make things difficult for him, but he didn't expect Taoist Taoist Silence to actually nodded and said, "Very good! Come with me."
Linghu Heng was confused by Monk Zhang Er and didn't know what Taoist Taoist Silence was doing. He followed the old Taoist priest into the room. The old Taoist priest took out a thick book and said, "This is the sect's sect rules. Take it."
Go and take a look, otherwise if you do something wrong in the future, don’t blame me for not teaching you.”
Linghu Heng took the book and found that there were hundreds of miscellaneous sect rules in it. Linghu Heng was born with a free and loose nature and did not like to be bound by rules and regulations. He had no choice but to stay in Qingzhu Forest. Now he was asked to see so many sects.
The rules made my head feel big. Linghu Heng said: "Old Taoist priest, can you not read it?"
The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows and said, "It's up to you." Linghu Heng muttered in a low voice: "It's up to me. When the time comes, will you punish me at will if I commit a crime? I won't be fooled, just watch it!"
With the old Taoist priest's cultivation, how could he not hear Linghu Heng's muttering, but he didn't say anything, he just said lightly: "I will now teach you my ancient sword sect's technique, Haoran Zhengqi Jue!" Linghu said
Heng Yiyi trembled and quickly withdrew his mind and listened attentively to the teachings of the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest said slowly: "The Haoran Zhengqi formula was created by the founder when he felt something in his heart. It focuses on having a clear conscience so that Haoran's righteousness will last forever. The most important part of the formula is the word 'zheng'. If the mind is not right, he will engage in some crooked ways."
, you will never understand the subtlety of this formula!" Linghu Heng was a little disapproving, but he didn't say it out loud. If the old Taoist priest was unhappy, wouldn't it be a waste of money to finally get him to teach him? It's okay.
, the old Taoist priest did not notice anything unusual about him, but continued: "There are a total of 2918 sentences in the Haoran Zhengqi Jue, which contains thousands of words, corresponding to Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, Yuan Ying, and golden body.
, Transformation of God, Crossing the Void, Mahayana, Ascension nine realms, each realm has two formulas, and each realm also has its own calamity. If you can get through it, you will be fine. If you can't get through it, your meridians may be completely severed.
, and become a useless person; or worse, his soul will be scattered on the spot and dispersed in the world."
When Linghu Heng heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and listened to the old Taoist priest's words attentively. The old Taoist priest continued: "The nine kalpas are: love, hate, love, enmity, life, separation, death, farewell, and emptiness. If you cross
After passing through the sky tribulation, you will naturally ascend during the day and enter the fairy world."
Linghu Heng listened with fascination, and the old Taoist priest also said seriously: "You cannot rely on the strength of others to overcome the tribulation, you can only survive it with your own strength. We cultivators are going against the will of heaven, and every step is a
It is dangerous. Only by doing every step steadily can we ascend to the Immortal Platform as soon as possible and become a Daluo Golden Immortal." Having said this, the old Taoist paused for a moment, glanced at Linghu Heng who was listening carefully, and said solemnly: "Go on.
Come down, I will teach you the Haoran Zhengqi formula, please listen carefully! 'Qi sinks in the Dantian and holds the Yuan Shou, Qi travels to the sea of mind and connects the nine orifices', this is the formula for the Qi training period, you should understand it well."
No matter whether Linghu Heng understood it or not, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep. Linghu Heng said: "The Qi sinks in the Dantian and embraces Yuan Shou, and the Qi travels to the sea of mind and connects the nine orifices, but what does it mean?"
"These days, he has also read the three Taoist classics, and he doesn't know anything about cultivation. After reciting them silently twice, he walked out of the room and walked to his own room.
Back in the room, Linghu Heng was still thinking hard about the two lines of the poem, but he couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, Linghu Heng was tough by nature and knew that cultivation could not be achieved overnight, so he was not in a hurry. After what he had seen these days
In the book, Linghu Heng naturally understands what "Dan Tian" is. It is easy to understand that Qi sinks into Dan Tian, but what "Bao Yuan Shou" is is unknown. In addition, "Qi travels through the sea of mind", which is also confusing.
, Linghu Heng didn’t know what the word "you" meant and what the "meaning sea" was, and he had seen the "nine orifices" in the book before and understood it. Linghu Heng thought hard.
I still couldn't figure it out for nearly an hour, so I got confused and thought: "I don't understand what these two sentences are about, but I won't give it a try!" So I followed the example of an old Taoist priest and crossed my legs.
Sitting on the bed, he calmly felt the "Qi". But after all, there was no one to guide him. Linghu Heng sat cross-legged for a long time. Not only did he not feel any Qi coming out, but his legs became a little sore and numb. But the more this happened, the more he felt.
The more Linghu Heng's competitive spirit was aroused, he also abandoned all distracting thoughts. He only had himself in his heart, his eyes looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart. Gradually, he began to enter the state where everything was quiet before.
I don’t know how long it took, but Linghu Heng began to breathe naturally. There seemed to be a faint heat rising from under his belly. Although it was subtle, Linghu Heng still felt it keenly. He was neither happy nor sad.
Let that energy grow freely.
When the energy grew to a certain level, it began to swim slowly, starting from the Dantian, passing through the chest, reaching the brain, then going down from the brain, passing through the spine, and then returning to the Dantian. That's it, so that
Hu Heng completed his first weekly move! Just when Linghu Heng was still not finished, he heard Wu Zhen calling him. Linghu Heng opened his eyes and saw that it was already the next morning. Unknowingly,
When he woke up, Linghu Heng had already been practicing all night! Linghu Heng didn't eat anything last night and was already hungry, but he had been practicing before and didn't notice it.
Linghu Heng listened carefully again, but it was Wu Zhen who asked him to get up for breakfast. Linghu Heng had just found the way to practice and wanted to continue exploring, but his stomach started to protest. When Linghu Heng got up, he found that although he had not slept all night,
But he was still energetic and not tired. He thought to himself: "It's not unreasonable for so many people to want to practice and become immortals. This feels really good!" (To be continued)
