【Preface】

Those who look up to the Tao, such as those who are immersed in the Tao, know the things they know, and they don't know the way. I have often heard that it is not people who are diligent in seeking knowledge, but those who know who are diligent in seeking others. But I know it's wrong. Those who know it do not seek others, but they go out and chase people away. Its carving is deep and ruthless, like an eagle and a dog chasing a rabbit.

Heavy clouds cover the sky, the rivers and lakes are gloomy, and the swimming fish are dazed. Suddenly, Bo Ming eats and moves, and it is fortunate to be given to the sky, and it is done, and the fish is killed, and so are those who chase the way. Those who look at the carving are healed, those who hear the symphony are healed, and those who have a wonderful mind heal.

[Volume 1]

A scorching fire can burn all things, but what is the fire when things die? The way of a breath can destroy all things, and where is the way when things die?

Dung beetles turn pills, pills become and think about it, and there are worm white people stored in pills, and Russia shells and cicadas. He doesn't think about it, he worms and Xi Bai, and the crab is a few feet, and the crab is already soup, and the foot is still moving. It is the life and death, and they are scattered in one go. There is no life and no death, and people are planning life and death.

There are those who stand dead, there are those who sit dead, there are those who lie dead, there are those who die and the sick, and there are those who die with medicine. Waiting for death, there is no difference between A and B. If he knows, he does not see life, so he does not see death. People who are disgusted with life and death and who surpass life and death are all great troubles. For example, if a person is disgusted with life and death, and has a heart that exceeds life and death, he will be called a demon, not a Tao.

Those who count life and death may be said to be dead, or they are said to be dead, or they are said to be dead, or they are said to be dead, or they are not dead. Or it is said to be the one who is happy, or it is said to be the one who is afraid, or it is said to be the one who is in charge, or it is said to be the one who is super. The more you know, the more you gallop. I don't know that my life and death are like the hands of a horse, like the wings of an ox, there is nothing, and there is nothing.

[Volume 2]

If you eat a giant and win, you will live long, and the shape can be extended; there is no moon fire at night, and people will not see me, and the shape can be hidden. What do you want to know, what do you want to do?

In life, there are those who die in one day, those who die in ten years, and those who die in a hundred years. He who is not dead, although his actions are wise, is called life, not death. Those who are stillborn, those who are dead, and those who are dead are also people and things, although the world is big, they do not know. Those who count heaven and earth are all aware of my district. For example, if the hand does not touch the blade, the blade does not hurt anyone. My way is like a sword, cutting things with a blade is sharp, and holding a blade with a hand is hurting.

[Volume 3]

If the soul is detained, there is more gold, and if there is more wood, there is not enough wood, and if the saint uses the soul to carry the soul, if there is more wood, there is not enough gold. The soul of the cover is hidden, and the soul is wandering. Those who see the soul have no distinction between those who analyze it, and those who distinguish between heaven and earth are also accustomed to it. The dreamer has no distinction between those who analyze it, and those who distinguish it from the other and the self are also ruthless. Fire gives birth to the earth, so the gods are business, and the earth is born of gold, and the deliberate is bold. What God moves, not God, name, and what is moved, not name, name. But the saints know that there is no self and that there is nothing to know things, all because of their thoughts. It is the coming of all things, and I have sex for it, not my heart for it. Sexuality, the heart is not budding, and if there is no intention, there is no intention. If there is no fire, there is no soil, and if there is no intention, there is no courage. If there is no earth, there is no gold. If one does not exist, all five will be wasted. It can not only muddy the world and all things as the soul, but also can muddy the world and all things as the spirit. All the wonders of creation are my soul, and all the creation of all are my soul, and there is nothing that can serve me.

The power of people can take over the heavens and the earth, such as thunder in winter, ice in summer, dead corpses can walk, dead wood can bloom, ghosts in beans, fishing in cups, painting doors can be opened, and earth ghosts can speak. It can not only muddy the world and all things as the soul, but also can muddy the world and all things as the spirit. All the wonders of creation are my soul, and all the creation of all are my soul, and there is nothing that can serve me.

The heart covers the auspicious and evil, the spirit and ghosts, the heart covers the men and women, the lewd ghosts, the heart covers the sorrowful, the Shen ghost takes it, the heart covers the free, the crazy ghost takes it, the heart covers the curse, the strange ghost takes it, the heart covers the medicine bait, and the object ghost takes it. He is his essence, this is his essence, and the two essences fight each other, and God responds to it. Those who are taken by demons, or solve strange things, or solve strange things, or solve rui things, their people are proud. It is not said that the ghost is bowing, but the way is bowing, and for a long time, it is either dead wood, or dead gold, or dead rope, or dead well. But the saint can be god but not god, serve all things and hold his chance, can know it, can disperse it, can resist it, respond to all things, and his heart is silent.

[Volume 4]

Thou shalt see the head of a man with a snake body, a man without arms, a man with fish scales, a man with a cow and a trojan horse, thou shalt not blame it, this strange thing is not as good as a dream, a dream is not aware, there are ears, eyes, hands and arms, and it is strange. Words can't speak, wisdom can't think. If the dragon is like a dragon, if the snake is like a turtle, if the fish is like a clam, the dragon can do it. Jiao, Jiao, Jiao, not a dragon, nor a snake, nor a turtle, nor a fish or a clam.

However, it is difficult for people who are not sincere to be confident, and it is easy to tokenize, so if this is the case, there are people who recite mantras, there are people who have gods, there are people who have ink characters, and there are people who change their fingers, all of them can serve the gods and control the qi, and change all things.

The Tao is the same, and those who return to the Tao with things will get a breath; The Venerable One who has attained the Tao can assist the world, and the only one who has attained the Tao can establish me. Those who know that they can be restrained by time can take one day as a hundred years and a hundred years as a day; those who know that they can hinder others can turn one mile into a hundred miles and a hundred miles into one mile; those who know that there is no air and can have luck and qi can summon the wind and rain; and those who know that the invisible can become tangible can change birds and beasts. Those who have attained the Tao can not get tired, and their bodies are light, and they can ride phoenix cranes; those who have attained the Tao can drown in things, and they can sit on the whales. Something is nothing, nothing is something. Those who know this Tao can control ghosts and gods; the real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, those who know this Tao can enter the golden stone; the upper is the bottom, the lower is the top, the one who knows the Tao can serve the stars; the ancient is the present, the present is the ancient, those who know the Tao can divinate the turtle and the Zheng; the person is me, I am the person, and the one who knows the Tao can peep into the lungs and livers of others; the thing is me, I am the thing, and the one who knows the Tao can become the dragon and tiger in the womb. Knowing the image changes from the heart, and by contemplating the mind, you can become a baby girl; With this victory, the tiger and leopard can be ambushed, and with this same thing, water and fire can enter. Only a man of the Tao can do it, and he can do it without doing it.

[Volume 5]

The clay puppets are also made of expensive and low, and there are scholars and women. Its soil, its loam, people. The withered turtle has no self, can see the great knowledge, the magnet has no self, can see the might, the bell and drum have no self, can see the big sound, the boat and the car have no self, can see the distance. Therefore, although I am wise and powerful, and have deeds and sounds, I have not tasted me.

For example, if you knock on a drum, I have the shape of a drum, and I feel the sound of a drum. The past is gone, the remnants are still there, and they will never exist. The shape of the drum is like my essence, and the sound of the drum is like my god. The rest of the voices, the soul of the Jews, the husband and the coming of the husband, then the five elements, how can I have it. Then all things in heaven and earth are my spirit, my spirit, my soul, who dies and who lives?

Qingluanzi is a thousand years old and a thousand years old, and the peach is five and the heart is five. The ploughman is strong when he learns the ox, the hunter is brave when he learns the tiger, the fisherman is Shen when he learns the water, and the warlord is strong when he learns the horse. All things can be me, I am one body, the inside becomes a roundworm, the outside is lice and fleas, the fistula is a turtle and fish, and a fistula is a rat and ant, I can be all things. Insinuation can kill me, and those who know the husband and ignorance are also me, then I am everywhere in the world. Although the heavens and the earth are large, they are colored and tangible, and there are numbers and squares. I have non-color and non-form, non-number and non-square, and the heavens, the earth and the earth exist.

Water can be analyzed and combined, and there is no one in the essence, and the fire is anointed because of the gods, and there is no self. There is no one with essence, so the rice is shelled and saved, and there is no self with God, so the ghost is seen by God. Those who are all fine forget right and wrong, forget gains and losses, those who are here are not others, those who hold God are obscure, when they are strong and weak, and those who are not here.

In the self-inhabited, the shape is self-contained, its movement is like water, its stillness is like a mirror, its should be like a sound, if it is dead, if it is silent, if it is clear, the same person, the one who gains and loses, does not taste the ancestors, but tastes with the people.

[Volume 6]

Practice shooting, practice the royal piano, practice Yi, and never get anything in one breath, but the Tao is formless and invisible, so it can be obtained in one breath.

The good of the ancients can show the ancient in the present, the ancient in the present, the high school, the high in the high, the small in the big, the big in the small, the many in the one, the people in the things, the things in the things, I show the other, the other shows me. It is the Tao, its origin is not present, its past is ancient, its high is uncovered, its low is unloaded, its big is not outside, its small is not inside, there is nothing outside, there is no one in it, there is no self in its near, and there is no other in it. Inanalyticable, incompatible, indescribable, inconceivable. But it is muddy, so it is the way.

[Volume 7]

There is nothing that is not heaven, nothing is not life, nothing is not God, and nothing is not element. If this is the case with things, it is not with man. Everyone can say heaven, everyone can say God, and everyone can be fatal. It is not a day, a god, a god, a god, a god, a god It is a person who is good at my way, that is, in a thing, knows the heavens and the gods, and makes the origin deadly. Learn it, use different names, and analyze the same reality. Get it, the same truth, forget the different names. Therefore, when you hear the Tao in the court, you can die on the night.

In fact, this "The Seven Chapters of the Secret Book of Xuanjun" should have been written by later lovers of the Cthulhu Mythos.
