Dan means single. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Taoism pays attention to one, one is single, and single is Dan. It's actually a gradual evolutionary process.

Therefore, the Taoist Jiedan refers to the body's internal qi reaching a level of roundness and fullness, which can remove sick qi and prolong life.

Another example is the Yuan Baby, which refers to returning to the basics, condensing the vitality of the whole body, and turning into a pure energy body, just like the original baby.

However, after the misinterpretation of later generations, the knot became a large glass ball with shape, and the yuan baby became a bouncing little person.

Pure.

Let's talk about Wei Boyang's "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", he pays attention to both internal and external Dan cultivation, takes the body as the furnace, nourishes qi in his own body, and then takes Jin Dan externally, and he can become an immortal.

This was contrary to the mainstream at the time, so after it was written, it did not attract large-scale attention.

Similarly, it was also in the Han Dynasty that Taoism began to evolve into Taoism and Taoism, with the emergence of the Tao of the Heavenly Master, as well as some scattered organizations - Xiao Zhai is collectively known as the Gu Immortal School.

The third stage, a thousand years ago, is called the period of change.

After the Han Dynasty, it was the most prosperous period of cultivation. The mainstream of the Wei and Jin dynasties became the two techniques of outer pill and food qi, and the inner pill was hidden and secreted among the people.

At this time, the monks were divided into three classes, according to the "Book of Immortals": "The sergeant lifts the form and ascends to the void, which is called the heavenly immortal; the sergeant swims in the famous mountain, which is called the land immortal; the corporal dies first and then sheds, which is called the autopsy immortal." ”

The so-called autopsy immortal is to abandon the body and go, or leave no body, and only pretend to entrust one thing to ascend to heaven. A classic book says: "The person's body was dismembered in Jingshi, and the coffin was opened in a few days, but there was only one staff." ”

This is one of them, the rod solution. Of course, autopsy was relatively low-grade, and it was gradually abandoned.

Later, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, a large number of monks such as Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Chen Tuan, and Zhang Guo began to study the Neidan method, and supplemented and perfected it.

The outer pill and the food qi were suddenly cut off, and the inner pill prevailed, and there was a tendency to replace all the Dao methods. "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" was regarded as the ancestor of the Danjing, and many sects began to multiply and develop.

The fourth stage is more than 500 years ago, which is called the ancient period.

The Inner Dan technique has been unified, and the battle between sects has become the main theme. The north founded the Quanzhen Dao, and Qiu Chuji preached for Meng Yuan, and was given the power to supervise Taoism in the world.

At the same time, in order to cope with the rise of the Quanzhen Dao, the original Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Dao, Maoshan Shangqing School, and Gesoshan Lingbao School merged into Zhengyi, respecting Zhang Tianshi as the leader of Zhengyi.

As a result, a large pattern has been formed in the north and Zhengyi in the south. However, later Uncle Zhang established the Southern Sect and returned to Quanzhen, and Quanzhen was in the limelight for a while.

At this time, the Inner Dan Dao method was extremely perfect, and put forward the "Yang God", as well as "refining and refining the qi, refining the gas and transforming the god, and turning the god back to the void", two sets of theories that were touted and blown.

However, this was the last glory of Taoism, and after that, only the Sanfeng Taoist people were short-lived, and then they completely declined.

……

In summary, the system is roughly as follows:

The characteristics of the ancient period were that the body was immortal, and the form and spirit were wonderful. The Gu Immortal period was slightly worse, but it also paid attention to physical cultivation. In these two stages, there is no Neidan method at all.

In times of change, Nedan arose.

The Quanzhen Dao basically denies the physical body becoming an immortal, although it is called the dual cultivation of life, but in fact, it is the first nature and then life, or the first life and then the nature, and it is impossible to cultivate at the same time.

The highest state that the Neidan sect believes is the god of the sun. The yang god is to leave the body, and the primordial god is out of the body and soars to reach the realm of immortality.

This can be regarded as immortality, but it is not the right path after all. If you lose your physical body, you will lose the opportunity of the Great Dao, and it will be even more difficult to further achieve the realm of heavenly immortals.

What's more, the Yang God thing is really not convincing. Except for some sporadic deeds of Zhang Boduan, there is no classic record.

Maybe the Neidan faction itself understands that all the monks who have lived for a long time have died, and they are all called feathers and immortals. Anyway, the primordial spirit is soaring, and others can't see it, so there is no way to verify whether it is true or not.

In short, the Taoist cultivation system is from humanity, to immortal dao, to food qi and serve the outer pill, and then to the inner pill and out of the yang god, such a more and more low-B path.

"Hoo ......"

After Gu Yu finished reading, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, raised his eyes, and saw that the light was soft, Xiao Zhai was leaning and sitting, and it was already dark outside.

For a moment, I really felt like I was in a trance.

"Drink some water. ”

Xiao Zhai had already prepared boiled water, gently pushed it, and said, "You digest it first." ”

"Hmm. ”

He picked up the cup, took a sip, then tilted his neck, and it was all dry.

There was no way, he felt that several worldviews were mixed together, true and false, illusory and illusory. Some time ago, I also talked to Mo Laodao, and the other party talked a lot of things.

Mo Lao Dao was born in the Southern Sect, so he naturally spoke to the sect. In his mouth, Nanzong is simply unparalleled in the world, Zhang Boduan can be called a generation of Taoist ancestors, what is the law of the yang god, the method of double cultivation of life, and it is orthodox in the world.

But the things that Xiao Zhai combed were faintly disdainful of the Neidan faction, such as the Yang God, if you think about it carefully, isn't it a variant of the autopsy immortal?

And it's not as good as autopsy immortals, people don't give up their bodies, and they pretend to be a thing to ascend, and the yang god has to leave his body.

His theoretical knowledge was already pitiful, and the impact was even more messy, and after half a sound, he asked: "Can you guarantee the truth of these things you have sorted out?"

"Four points for evidence, six points for guessing. ”

She told the truth, and said, "But there are a few things I am sure of, first, there were indeed great monks in ancient times, and you can know it from your qi eating method. Second, Wei Boyang is by no means unprovoked to write "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", there must be something wrong. ”

"Exactly!"

Gu Yu's eyes lit up, and he continued: "I was very strange just now, at that time, food qi was prevalent, and there were often records of ascension. Since there is no problem with the exercises, and the person in power has not obstructed it, he has no reason to study the Inner Dan Technique, which is still far inferior to the Inner Dan Technique of eating qi. ”

"I don't know why, but after I met you, I had some suspicions. ”

Xiao Zhai looked at each other and suddenly asked, "You said you can eat gas?"

"Yes. ”

"Then can you tell if this aura has existed since ancient times, or did it appear suddenly?"

Well?

Gu Yu was stunned, but immediately understood the meaning, and said in surprise: "You mean ......?"

"That's right! In the ancient period, although the Dao method was extremely simple and powerful, it also had the highest requirements for the cultivation environment. Subsequent generations of evolution and reform have all reduced this demand. So I speculate that Wei Boyang had already noticed that the aura was gradually declining. If you still follow the inheritance of the Gu Immortal Technique, when the aura is exhausted, the entire cultivation world will definitely die. ”

Xiao Zhai paused, and then said: "After that, the outer pill technique and autopsy technique are all exploring the method of liberation. In the end, the Inner Dan Technique was unified, and perhaps it could really find another way. But you must know that the Daomen is only contained in the theoretical classics, and the real cultivation methods are all passed down by word of mouth. ”

"At that time, the sects were in turmoil, and there were external strife, and there was internal strife. There are dozens of branches in the pure vein alone, all of which want to fight for fame and fortune. Many sect masters of the branch veins are not enough for their own cultivation, and they still have to guide their disciples to cultivate, and the consequences can be imagined. ”

"For hundreds of years since the people of Sanfeng Dao, there have been no outstanding people. I think one is that the Tao is lost, and the other is that the aura is drying up. In modern times, there were constant wars, and the Taoist sect was hidden, and it was not until the beginning of the new dynasty 90 years ago that the Taoist Association was established, and the various factions surfaced. ”

Sizzle!

Hearing this, Gu Yu couldn't help but say, "Then now that I have practiced the method of eating qi, it may indicate that the aura of heaven and earth is slowly recovering?"

"Heh......"

Xiao Zhai blinked, didn't respond, but smiled: "Do you know what we're doing now?"
