What Xuan Weizi taught was a Daoyin technique that he personally streamlined and refined, which he named "The Daoyin Technique of Controlling the Six Qi".
The so-called six qi of control include the six heavenly qi of "yin and yang, wind, rain, and darkness" as mentioned by Nanhua Zhuangzhou, the six wind and evil qi of "wind, cold, summer, dampness, dryness, and heat" in the middle, and the six human qi of "qi, blood, body fluid, and essence" below. .In this way, the main purpose is to "dispel wind evil and let heaven and man respond", so as to harmonize vitality and maintain the body's body.
Although this "Six Qi Guiding Technique" has a very high intention, Xuan Weizi only taught the basic parts and it is not difficult to practice. Through the process of treating patients during these days, he sensed and explored the vitality of ordinary people. The phenomena of rhythm and meridians, the structure of muscles and bones, and combined with the results of Wolf's initial practice of inner alchemy, summarize and refine the Daoyin techniques of various Taoist schools.
If you practice the Daoyin technique in depth, it will not only extend and massage the body, but also include breathing, breathing, and various operations such as taking the essence of the sun and the moon, the golden toad method of moving qi, and the turtle method. There are many distinctions such as the Snake Breathing Technique. What kind of breath should be taken during different solar terms in a year, what direction should one face, what pictures should be meditated on, and what bait should be used with it? There are many things to pay attention to, from regulating the body and breath to regulating the mind and regulating the mind. .
Xuan Weizi will not teach anything that is too profound. Nowadays, this Daoyin technique involves bending and extending the limbs and rubbing the body surface. The practice requires slowing down the body, breathing, and heart. If you feel the heat fumigating inside and outside the body, saliva will secrete. , which means that it is slightly successful.
"Long-term practice of this Daoyin technique can make people's muscles and bones active and their limbs strong. If you practice enough, it can also boost your spirit and improve your body's internal coordination and operation capabilities. Although it will not make a leap in your physical fitness and perception. Progress, but maybe a small gain in Fortitude and Will saves." Xuan Weizi said.
Under the strange vine tree grown from the magic pea in Can Can Street, Xuan Weizi was surrounded by a circle of doctors from the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce. They had just finished practicing a set of guidance techniques, and there was a slight layer of sweat on their bodies. They were in high spirits. Listening to Xuan Weizi's explanation happily.
Xuan Weizi teaches this set of basic guidance skills. The main advantage is that it is safe and harmless. There is no risk of going crazy or losing breath. Ordinary people can also use it as a fitness skill. Unlike the gradual physical and mental training, There are many barriers to overcome, and you may have to fight against all kinds of stubborn thoughts and deepen your mind.
As for the Chang Qing doctors around them, they were more excited and shocked. In the past, they were either wandering doctors in the back alleys, or alchemy apprentices who had failed in their studies. Now, not only do they have a formal "organization" to rely on, Moreover, he has received perfect teachings and teachings. Not to mention that the name "Doctor Olanso" has long been known to all women and children in Huowu City, just like an earthly saint who performs miracles.
"Doctor Olenso, can we teach this, uh... guidance technique to others?"
Xuan Weizi pointed out the details of the practice, and there was a doctor beside him who recorded it verbatim. Someone said this at an inappropriate time, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, staring at the young man wearing an old alchemy protective robe. Go down.
"Okay, I teach you this guidance technique just so that you can teach it to others." Xuan Weizi's words made the surrounding doctors, Chang Qing, extremely shocked, and they all tried to dissuade them:
"Doctor Olenso, this guidance technique can not only exercise the body, but also make the mental consciousness more concentrated. If I am not mistaken, this technique should be prepared for spell casters, right? It is not suitable for teaching.
To someone else?"
"Yes, this should be a skill that can only be practiced by doctors who join the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce! And it should be strictly prohibited from leaking out, otherwise you will be punished!"
"If others learn how to do it and become healthy, how can we, Changqing doctors, make money?"
After hearing their reasons, Xuan Weizi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He immediately straightened his face and said in a serious tone: "If this is really a secret skill that must be strictly guarded, and magical knowledge that is not allowed to be easily passed on, then you should reflect on it for yourselves.
, and why did I teach it to you?
Are you sure that you will be promoted to a powerful spellcaster immediately with this set of guidance skills? Or will you become an indispensable and important talent of the Evergreen Chamber of Commerce? Or can you say that this set of guidance skills alone can make everyone useless?
Are you free from illness?"
After hearing this, each of the Chang Qing doctors looked ashamed and did not dare to say anything. Xuan Weizi continued: "I have drawn the diagrams and texts of this set of guidance techniques into several scrolls, and plan to hang them in the soon-to-be-completed building.
In the hospital, place it in a place where everyone can see it. In the future, anyone who wants to learn can learn from it themselves. If they ask you for advice, you should also explain and teach it with all your heart."
"Such valuable knowledge should at least be taught for money, right?" Some doctors from Chang Qing couldn't help but said, "Even if a mage learns arcana, doesn't it cost countless dollars?"
"Indeed, knowledge itself should not be free. This can easily make people feel that the acquisition of knowledge is too cheap, which leads to a contempt for knowledge and that the acquisition of knowledge is a natural phenomenon." Xuan Weizi nodded.
No matter which world we are in, knowledge - the product of intelligent life's understanding and summary of things and phenomena, can be said to seek locally ordered information expression from the vast and disordered universe.
All the behavior of the predecessors in acquiring knowledge is essentially contrary to the disorderly expansion and requires a lot of conscious investment. Even if a person is born and can walk and talk when he grows up, it is also the result of the inheritance of knowledge.
Seek orderly expression of information in the sequence, rather than directly reducing it to a jungle beast.
It is true that knowledge itself should not be free, but Xuan Weizi is not willing to put knowledge itself in an extremely lofty position. Especially as a Taoist, he knows that the ancient sages often set up many tests when they taught the magical methods of the immortal family.
Xuan Weizi was even more influenced by the fairy tales of Lu Chunyang during the tenth trial of Zhongli of the Han Dynasty, but he himself did not like this.
It is true that the ancient sages always worried that what they taught about the true secrets of Taoism was not human. For example, Zhang Boduan of Jindan Nanzong taught him three times that he was not human, and he suffered disaster three times; or he said that the magic formula of bait medicine was taught by non-human beings, so that the elixir was not magical and ineffective when taken;
He also said that all kinds of secret talismans should not be given to non-human beings, otherwise the three souls would be banished and the seventh ancestor would suffer disaster.
However, as far as Xuan Weizi saw in his previous life, there were really too many wonderful methods and secrets. It was because the ancestors had the heart of "would rather lose the teaching than to spread it in vain", which led to the complete cessation of inheritance. Because many key tips of cultivation and practice,
Not only do we need to rely on practical textual descriptions, but we also need to have real practice experience as a guide, and at the same time, we need to constantly revise and add to it.
If there is no personal guidance and teaching by the practicing master, then the descendants of later generations will not be able to practice even if they hold hundreds of kilograms of Taoist books and alchemy scriptures! And even if there are deviations and fallacies after false transmission, there is always the possibility of correction. But once it is lost,
, maybe it will be completely cut off!
Xuan Weizi is indeed capable of verifying various schools of thought from fragmentary chapters and old volumes, but after reaching a state of perfection, he went back to comprehend it again. Can he expect others to be the same as him?
If he was really capable, Xuan Weizi would first teach a few apprentices in the realm of earthly immortals! That would save trouble.
And according to Xuan Weizi, whether a world and society is "advanced" depends on whether information and knowledge can be widely disseminated. They cling to the so-called esoteric secrets and refuse to reveal them to others, and they insist on making people go through all kinds of hardships to learn from the masters.
It seems that the masters have the spirit of immortality, but it corrupts the inheritance and blocks people's way of hearing the Dharma and seeking the Tao.
It is true that Xuan Weizi admits that not everyone can succeed in cultivating Taoism, and not even one person among a thousand people can get started; similarly, the cultivation of profound Taoist secrets also has many difficulties and disasters, and it may not be a bright and smooth road, and it requires high-level training.
People are in front of you to give guidance.
But because of this, it is more important for Taoism to be spread widely in the world. Moreover, if only a few experts keep the collection of things in the world and are unwilling to show them to others, it will be easy to be incomplete and conservative, and they will be treasured by themselves. Over time, they will be regarded as incredible and strange by the world.
Chaotic gods, because of their rarity and lack of understanding, make people doubt the Dharma, fundamentally destroying the foundation of promoting Taoism.
However, Xuan Weizi would not foolishly put out all the magic techniques and secrets for you to choose from. Especially the widely spread "Control of Six Qi Guidance Technique" also has a specific purpose.
"The guidance technique I teach now is only a very basic part, and there will be more advanced content in the future." Xuan Weizi said to the Changqing doctors: "The reason why I made it public in Changqing Hospital
It shows that the people who come here for medical treatment are suffering from injuries and illnesses. Only in this case will people pay more attention to their own lives and bodies.
Compared with relying solely on drugs and spells for treatment, people who pay attention to physical and mental health and care about their own lives and the lives of others are more suitable for the advanced content and skills behind the art of guidance. This is the opportunity I give you.
Not only should you practice this guidance technique yourself, but you should also teach it to those who come to seek medical treatment.
The basic part is taught for free, and anyone can learn it. When you can fully experience the 'inner coordination' brought by the guidance technique in the future, you can come to Chaidui Town to explore more advanced techniques... This path is also what I want to stay on.
For other people in Huowu City."
The young alchemy apprentice just now asked again: "Do you need to charge money to learn the subsequent skills?"
Just now, everyone thought that Xuan Weizi was a selfless saint, but the young man immediately started talking about money, which was really bad news.
Xuan Weizi was also very straightforward and nodded: "Yes, but not necessarily in cash. If you don't have enough money, you have to work in Chaidui Town. It may be burning bricks and tiles, building houses, or farming in the fields.
Weeding, harvesting, and all kinds of manual work, large and small. In short, if you don't want to pay, then contribute."
This is actually the intention of Xuan Weizi. First, he uses the "Six Qi Guiding Technique" to screen out qualified and willing beginners from a large range. Anyway, the most basic and simple parts have been taught for free, or
Those who are unwilling to learn, either do not have the perseverance to practice, or are simply stupid. These are the people who are completely out of luck, and there is no need to pay too much attention to them.
Moreover, the "Six Qi Guiding Technique" taught for free is not a magical skill that allows people to immediately practice any miraculous powers, but is used to strengthen the foundation and build up the foundation. From the surface, it looks like slow body movements.
.
Spell casters with various powerful abilities and rich people with magic items probably don't think much of this basic guidance technique. On the contrary, low-level spell casters with no organizational backing and poor financial status have a bleak future.
Low-level warriors who are difficult to improve may be able to experience something from the Guidance Technique, and then come to Chaidui Town to explore higher skills and promotion opportunities.
These people who do not have strong backgrounds and are eager for progress and improvement are actually the manpower Xuan Weizi needs. It is unrealistic to expect them to spend a large amount of wealth to obtain the magic and true secrets. Xuan Weizi wants to participate through them.
Build Chaidui Town to organize it and expand your power.
Xuan Weizi did not directly travel through time and became the son of a prince or aristocrat. He was the heir apparent to the local lord. He had no servants and followers to appoint, and there were no private soldiers. Moreover, based on the current situation in Chaidui Town, in addition to recruiting scattered natives,
It can only absorb these colonists who are not strictly organized.
In this way, Xuan Weizi can establish a brand new interest system and organizational structure. Even if it is not the establishment of a sect, it is actually almost the same.
And this is why Xuan Weizi did not hesitate to show off his magical powers in Huowu City. After all, a town where powerful spellcasters are stationed and actively teach brilliant and unique skills can indeed attract people's attention.
As for rich people coming to Chaidui Town to seek Dharma, Xuan Weizi doesn't mind "eating from the rich". He is eager for rich people to come and spend money. At worst, he will refine some "life-extending elixirs" for them. Since ancient times, Taoism and Buddhism have
Some are means and methods of "taking advantage of big players".
In addition, and more importantly, the widely circulated "Six Qi Guidance Technique" is also a large-scale experiment conducted by Xuan Weizi. However, this experiment has a large number of subjects. Anyone who is willing to practice and seek the law will all become Xuanwei Zi.
sub-test subjects.
Xuan Weizi needs to explore the more extensive and profound laws of interaction between body and mind and the nature of heaven and earth from these novice practitioners, so as to prepare for future practice.
Moreover, the confirmation obtained from many novice practitioners can also help Xuan Weizi improve the skills to be taught later, not only in the direction of spiritual warriors, but also in the development and application of inner strength. Maybe
You can also ask these people to help Xuan Weizi test the medicine.
After all, there are always only Wolf, Rosaleen and the others doing experiments, so the scale is really insufficient and the progress is slow.
"Don't worry, many things are still in their infancy. For now, you just need to teach the art of guidance to those who are willing to learn it. When the art spreads and more people know it, you won't need to teach it step by step.
Xuan Weizi also said: "And you all contributed a lot in the operation to eliminate the plague in Huowu City this time. When you come to Chaidui Town, I will directly teach you the subsequent guidance techniques."
That's what he said, but Xuan Weizi secretly thought in his heart: "Free is the most expensive thing. Although I like not to do any live reality shows like Ten Tests of Taoist Heart and Nine-nine Ordeals, but I want to practice Taoism without paying.
Then just give it obediently."
After saying everything that needed to be said, Xuan Weizi was about to leave. The young man wearing an old alchemy protective robe came again. He said to Xuan Weizi:
"Dr. Olenso, um... didn't you just say that as long as you can experience 'inner coordination', you can learn the subsequent skills? I, I seem to have realized it."
Xuan Weizi blinked and no longer needed to touch his wrist to take his pulse. He looked at the young man up and down, as if he could see through his meridians and internal organs.
The "inner coordination" he mentioned before is actually a foundation-building skill. However, it does not start from the concentration skill of "sitting and forgetting the body", but from the "mind awareness and body awareness" in the "Vipassana Sutra".
The first step in "divine enlightenment" is to rely on the "Six Qi Guoyin Technique" to adjust the body and breath, and then be able to grasp the coordinated movement of breath and limbs.
The foundation-building skills of these Tao methods do not require people to strengthen their muscles, bones, and qi, but to pursue the coordinated operation of internal functions. They are extremely standard introductory skills.
Beginners may occasionally experience this inner coordination, but often only for a short and inadvertent time. But Xuan Weizi looked at the young man and found that his breathing and the muscles and bones on his body had indeed gradually developed a coordinated rhythm, and there was no need to deliberately adjust.
"You seem to be calling..."
"Isesothoth rhombohedral topaz, at your service!" the young man replied energetically.
"Rhombohedral topaz? I remember that this kind of surname seems to be only available to dwarves, right?" Xuan Weizi asked.
The young man smiled shyly and said, "My grandfather was raised by dwarves, so he kept this surname."
Xuan Weizi nodded casually and said: "Isai Sotos... this name is too long, I will call you Yisai from now on. Just stay with me for now, and I will take you back to Chai Dui Town by the way."
