Section 362 of the Grain Reclamation Technique

We resolutely said to the Zhang Zhangmen that he didn't learn the harmony technique, and the Zhangmen said it again, looking particularly energetic, refreshed, and talking endlessly, we listened helplessly, and the familiar Yan returned, but this is not good, because Zhang Zhangmen is happy, if he delays his interest, what if he is not happy, what if he does not give us things, so the top priority now is to make him happy.

Zhang Zhangmen continued to gush: "You can't do it without skills. Taoist magic originated on the basis of witchcraft, but above witchcraft, and is a symbolic manifestation of the meaning of the Tao. The purpose is to use the power of the Tao to help people avoid evil and become immortals. Through the accumulation of natural knowledge and skills, Daoshu can be deduced to achieve communication with other realms, and there are many types of Daoshu - including deduction to communicate with other realms and dimensions, and to control and influence the objective material world. Spells are a very important part of Taoism and have a pivotal position. From the perspective of religious practice and religious activities of Taoism, magic is one of its core contents, and the formation and inheritance of Taoism, magic is a powerful bond and one of the characteristics that distinguish it from other religions. The practical value of spells reflects the level of a Dao cultivation. So you are really fortunate to have three lives, three lives are fateful, I will teach you a more important spell, that is, Bigu technique - Bigu Yuan, from the Taoist health care of not eating grains, is a common way of health preservation by the ancients. It originated from the pre-Qin period and was popular in the Tang Dynasty, and is also known as the valley, the valley, the grain, the grain, and so on. The earliest record of Bigu comes from "Zhuangzi Wandering": "The mountain of the contempt shoots, there are gods and men living in the mountains. If the skin is like ice and snow, if it is a virgin, it does not eat grains, sucks wind and drinks dew, rides the clouds, and flies the dragon, and swims beyond the four seas...... as a health rule for longevity, Bigu is also recorded in many ancient books and classics.

The traditional Bigu is divided into two main types: taking qi and taking medicine. The main way to take Qi Bigu is to go on a hunger strike and adjust the breath and breathing, and the medicine Bigu is to regulate the body's functions by ingesting other complementary foods (nuts, Chinese herbs, etc.) while not eating staple foods (grains).

Targeted Bigu is conducive to the health of the body, and Bigu is also called but the valley, but the grain, the absolute grain, the valley, the valley, the broken valley.

We Taoists believe that when people eat grains, they will accumulate feces in their intestines, producing filth and hindering the road to becoming immortals.

For this reason, the Taoist priests imitated what was described in the Zhuangzi Wandering

The immortal behavior of "not eating grains, sucking wind and drinking dew" seeks to achieve the goal of immortality. In fact, our ancients also often regarded Bigu as a kind of health care law, "Washing the Marrow Sutra" has less food and is convinced, but to enjoy the saying of the heavenly years, indicating that Bigu has the effect of prolonging life;

It is said that the guide is used as a method of curing diseases. Whoever walks in the valley, one is to insist on eating gas, and the other is to still eat omnivorous medicinal bait other than grain and wheat food.

The Bigu technique originated in the pre-Qin period, around the same time as the Qi technique. The treatise on etiquette before the Qin and Han dynasties, "The Great Dai Li Ji Yi Ben Ming", says: "The meat eaters are brave and fierce, the grain eaters are wise and skillful, the qi eaters are gods and live long, and those who do not eat do not die and are gods." It is the earliest theoretical basis for the Bigu technique.

There is a similar record in the Huainanzi Topographical Training. After the establishment of Taoism, there was no shortage of people who inherited this technique and practiced Bigu.

From the Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Bigu has always been very popular in Taoism. The "Dadai Li Ji Yi Ben Ming", which is a collection of etiquette treatises before the Qin and Han dynasties, says: "Meat eaters are brave and fierce, grain eaters are wise and skillful, gas eaters are gods and live long, and those who do not eat are not dead and gods." And "The World" also contains examples, such as the description of the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Lu people lived in the mountains and drank stream water,

"He is not clothed in linen, he does not eat grain, he walks seventy years old, and he is still the color of a child. He is the earliest practitioner of Bigu recorded in the historical books.

The Western Han Dynasty has a cloud of "Going (But) to the Valley and Eating Qi": "Those who go to the (but) Valley eat Shiwei." The first weight, the light foot, and the body are the first to cook (blow) it, depending on the benefits. It means that when the first trip to the valley is often produced, the hunger phenomenon of lightheadedness and weakness of limbs must be used

The "blowing" method of eating gas to overcome. The association of Bigu and Xingqi here, in the same way as the association of Xingqi and guidance in Zhuangzi Deliberately, seems to indicate that these three techniques originally existed in the pre-Qin period, that is, they appeared at roughly the same time.

"The Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" contains, the Eastern Han Dynasty Fangshi Wang Zhen Broken Valley for more than 200 years, the flesh is beautiful, Xu Xing and horses, and there are several people.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Biography of Fangshu" contains: Meng Energy contains jujube kernels and does not eat, which can be up to five years and ten years. Cao Zhi's "Argument on Taoism" contains Xi Jian and is good at opening up the valley, saying that he once bowed to sleep with him to try it, and he was in the valley for 100 days, and he walked freely.

Among the Fang Shi group recruited by Cao Cao, Gan Shi, Zuo Ci, Feng Junda, and Lu Nu all practiced the Gu Reclamation Technique. Ge Hong, a Taoist priest of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said in "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter: Miscellaneous Responses": The rest of the people who have seen the valley for three years and two years are many people, and they are all light and good. And give specific examples to prove it: Shi Chun, a Taoist priest of Wu in the Three Kingdoms, often did not eat for a month or a hundred days when he was curing people's diseases.

Spring but ask for three or two liters of water, so more than a year, the spring color is more fresh, and the strength is the same. There are also Feng Sheng, but he swallows breath alone, and the valley has been broken for three years.

According to the Book of Wei and the Interpretation of the Old Chronicles, the Taoist priest Kou Qian of the Northern Wei Dynasty gave the Taishang Laojun the guide to the valley formula, and more than ten disciples were able to obtain his skills.

It is also known as Donglai Taoist Wang Daoyi who lived in seclusion in Hanxin Mountain, and broke the valley for more than 40 years. "Seven Signatures of the Cloud" volume five years, Sun Youyue

"Rushu is a grain, taking Gu Xian Pill for sixty-seven years, her face is light and moist, and she is refreshing and clean. In the Book of Northern Qi, it is recorded that a practitioner who lived in seclusion in Langya Mountain, practiced the art of Bigu, and took crude drugs such as pine nuts, atractylodes, and poria cocos in order to achieve immortality. "Southern History: The Biography of Yinyi", Nanyue Taoist Deng Yu

Tao Hongjing is good at the valley guide of the valley method, since the seclusion for more than 40 years, more than 80 years and magnificent. "Northern History: The Biography of Yinyi" said that Chen Daoist Xu Ze was a grain nourishing man, and all he had was the pine technique, although it was cold in the middle of winter, he did not accept cotton wool. According to "The Old Tang Book: The Biography of Yinyi", Tang Taoist Pan Shi has lived in Songshan for more than 20 years, but he only takes pine leaves to drink. His apprentice Sima Chengzhen also passed on his technique of guiding and subduing bait. The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty records that a man named Wang Yuanzhi practiced the art of tuna guidance, took Ganoderma lucidum and atractylodes, etc., and lived to be more than 100 years old, with black hair and light steps. According to "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Yinyi", the Taoist priest Chen Shu lived in the Jiu Room Rock of Wudang Mountain in the early Song Dynasty, and served the Qi Bigu Calendar for more than 20 years, but drank several glasses a day. According to "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Fang Technique", Zhao naturally does not eat the valley, his spirit is refreshing, and he vomits every time he smells the fire and eats, only the fruit is born, and the spring is just a clear spring. Chai Tongxuan is more than 100 years old, good at Bigu and howling, only drinking. "Historical Records: Liuhou Family" records that Zhang Liangyu was sick and used techniques such as guidance and bigu to treat diseases and practice the skills of lightening the body. "The Biography of Li Xian in Northern History" contains: "Convincing for decades, more than ninety, Yan is like a young child. "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Chen Tuo" contains: "(Chen Tuo) because of his convincing temperament, more than 20 years...... Every sleeping place, more than 100 days. "The main method of Bigu food qi is to breathe long and soft.

This method comes from bionic breathing, so it is also called turtle breath. Taoists believe that the turtle lives long because it eats qi.

Qi circulates in the human body and is indispensable. The movement of Qi contains the deepest secrets of the human body.

It is said in ancient books

"The flesh-eaters are brave and fierce, the grain eaters are wise and skillful, the gas eaters are gods and long-lived, and the non-eaters are immortal and godly. Practicing convincing qi before Bigu can not only resist the hunger and weakness caused by fasting, but also make people energetic and prolong their lives.

Xiao Fei listened to it and said with praise: "Wow, it's still Zhang's master, it's really a great memory, well-read, easy, effortless, where is it like a 200-year-old man, completely walking like the wind, walking like flying, with a superior memory, more powerful than our young people, I want to learn this spell well, it seems to be of great benefit to the body."
