Chapter 434: The Way of the Immortals
There are mountains and rivers, wind and meat, as well as hot pot and beautiful women, most of them are young people, and they are lively together, and it is easy to forget the trouble of not being able to go home.
In fact, after more than half a year of experience, many of the previous concepts are slowly changing. In the secular world, the middle two, laziness, anger, men and women tears, workplace tearing, etc., in this new era, are like children playing.
When the ass sits high, the horizon is naturally high.
Everyone had a great Chinese New Year's Eve. Xiao Zhai still didn't come back, and a word of mouth was sent that it was on the other side of the East China Sea. Gu Yu didn't have time, and kept tinkering with the materials of the Qi Gathering Pill.
Only Xiaoqiu and Xiaojin showed up and said a few words casually, then ran to Zhuyun Peak with a few jars of wine and chatted quietly all night......
After the year, Gu Yu kept his promise and set aside a large piece of land at the eastern foot of Fenghuang Mountain to plant new rice.
Nowadays, the construction of urban agglomerations, the space is infinitely compressed, and the farmland in the past is either polluted or occupied by foreign beasts.
Liaodong is a large grain-producing province, and there are many disasters in the land, and Baicheng is the most comfortable, so it undertakes a part of the food supply in the province. The government has made it clear that if rice is grown, it will be purchased at a high price.
Shh
Gu Yu just said, do I lack your money? It's just that this trick is very unpleasant.
Time passed in a flash, and in mid-March, there was a word from Qi Yun's side, saying that the June 1st mud had been reconciled.
Tianzhu Mountain, Taoist Temple.
Gu Yu followed Lu Yuanqing and the others around the main building complex, and when they arrived at an open space halfway up the mountainside, he looked at a strange house and said strangely: "This is the legendary Danfang?"
"Exactly. ”
"It's too small, aren't you afraid of frying or carbon monoxide poisoning?"
"Laughing, this is built under the personal guidance of Senior Wu, and it must be safe and worry-free. Lu Yuanqing said.
It's no wonder that Gu Yu complained, this house is 3 zhang long, 1.6 zhang wide, and the windows are 4 feet wide, which is extremely tight, and when the doors and windows are closed, not even a trace of light leaks. In the center of the Dan room, there is a pit stove 8 inches high and 24 inches wide, which is used to place the Dan furnace.
So, this is a rectangular room, the space is cramped, and there is no rush to do it.
"The juniors are ignorant, our Danfang structure is like this, what is carbon monoxide poisoning?" Wu Shan couldn't help but come out and reprimand.
"It's okay, it's okay. ”
The goods waved his hand, he didn't want to explain to a Ming Dynasty man what carbon monoxide was.
"Layman, this is the June 1 mud we have blended, please take a look. ”
Shi Yunlai cautiously approached with a piece of something, Gu Yu took it and took a look, it was white like dough, and it felt very soft and sticky.
The most special thing is that it has no weight, and it is a complete body, which cannot be torn apart.
"Sixty-one mud was first seen in the "Yellow Emperor Jiuding Shendan Sutra", six plus a material, one is the number of days, six is the number of the earth, take the meaning of the sky and water, and the earth is sixty. ”
Wu Shan is very conscientious in popularizing science, introducing: "The refining of Wai Dan must be combined with the number of heaven and earth, so it needs six plus one mud as raw materials, which is intended to solidify and seal the kettle, ensure the condensation of sublimation gas, and prevent the leakage of Dan essence." ”
Oh, I see!
Gu Yu understood, the most important thing in the Dan furnace was not the material of the body, but how to seal it tightly, so that the essence of the pill could be retained in the Ding during the refining process and could not be leaked.
Sixty-one mud is this role.
"That's it, Senior Wu, what kind of Dan furnace do you want to refine, do you have any sketches for me?"
"Come inside!"
Wu Shan led him into the Dan room, followed the phantom for a moment, and exuded a divine sense. Gu Yu also leaned out, reluctantly befriending him and receiving information.
The two of them were entangled for a long time before he fully understood, nodded and said, "There is no skill, it just takes a little time." ”
"That's why I asked you to help, their mana can't support it at all. ”
The phantom glanced out abstractly and asked, "When will you start?"
"Right now. ”
"Okay! The materials are here, feel free to take them. ”
Wu Shan was very happy, and went out to drive everyone away, while he flew around the Danfang, as if guarding.
Gu Yu didn't care about him, sat next to the pit stove, checked the materials first, then meditated and pranayama, and when the spirit reached a full state, he picked up a piece of green wood and threw it into the stove, pointing a little with his fingers.
Burst!
A cluster of flames rose and quickly engulfed the entire piece of wood. And his heart moved, and he took out two more red flame fruits and threw them in.
Call!
The Red Flame Fruit contained a powerful fire aura, and the fire was instantly ferocious, like a red snake dancing wildly, and the indoor temperature was also soaring.
Little by little, he increased the melting power of the flames, from red to blue, from green to white, and then carried the small handling technique and sent the pile of materials into the stove.
On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure high temperatures, and on the other hand, it is necessary to wrap the material with divine consciousness and slowly shape it, and the mana consumed is unimaginable. His spiritual power is self-generated, and he can still cope with it, and he still has the leisure to touch out the gourd and drink two sips of spiritual wine from time to time.
This refinement is a full five days.
Wu Shan always stayed outside, always paying attention to the movement in the house, and Lu Yuanqing and others often came to watch.
"It should be almost. ”
He estimated the time and said, "If nothing happens, it will be done tonight." ”
"Then let's wait together. Lu Yuanqing said.
Wu Shan guessed correctly, the pile of materials was not what it was before, it had turned into a Dan furnace embryo, wrapped in the fire like a baby and sleeping.
Gu Yu was tired, but when it came to the most critical moment, he didn't dare to be careless. He stared at the slowly rotating embryo, grasping the best time, and suddenly with a wave of his hand, the ball of 61 mud flew in.
Call!
The flames flashed wildly, shrunk suddenly, and concentrated around the embryo, forming a white outline.
I saw that the Liuyi mud gradually melted, thickened, and slowly flowed on the embryo, filling the tiny gaps between the materials, making the Dan furnace round and complete.
I don't know how long it took, when he almost couldn't support it, he suddenly heard the shouting outside: "Collect!"
Gu Yu subconsciously weakened the fire, and listened again, boom!
The Danfang trembled, and the Dan furnace swished up and flew high, and then slowly fell, slamming into the pit stove.
"It's finally over!"
He let out a breath and took a closer look at his work.
This is different from the one in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, which is a three-layered, round-bellied tripod. This statue is two tripods of water and fire, with a circumference of 12 inches, corresponding to the 12 months and 12 news hexagrams, and a body length of 8 inches, corresponding to the eight sections.
The water tripod is on top, and the fire tripod is on the bottom, which is called "both Ji furnace", which comes from the hexagram name in the sixty-four hexagrams of "Zhou Yi". The fire tripod is used to place materials, and the water is full of water, which plays the role of cooling and sublimation, and there are pipes to communicate.
The body is yellow-brown, as if it was made of brass, and it also faintly exudes luster.
"Layman?"
"Layman?"
There were a few calls outside, Gu Yu had to stand up, push the door out, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the Dan furnace has been completed." ”
Affirmed by the other party, Lu Yuanqing and the others all showed joy on their faces, and saluted in unison: "It's hard work!"
"No, it's just an equivalent exchange. ”
"Well, that's the way it goes, but you don't have to help. ”
Lu Yuanqing smiled, presented a jade slip, and said, "This is the recipe of Liuyi mud and the materials needed to refine the Dan furnace. ”
"Hmm. ”
Gu Yu was not worried that the other party would be deceived, so he took it and put it away.
Immediately, those people went in to check the Dan furnace, and Wu Shan said, "How do you feel, can you still hold on?"
"Yes. ”
"Okay, go back and talk. ”
The two of them left the Danfang, returned to the Taoist courtyard, and entered the small courtyard. Gu Yu sat down on the stone bench and said directly: "Let's not bother, what do you want to do with me?"
"Don't worry, listen to me. ”
The phantom floated above the wine cup and said, "I have been in Tianzhu Mountain for eight months, and I have more or less understanding of this era. I've been empty for more than five hundred years, and the familiar stuff is gone. I didn't like this environment very much, but I had to cater to it, and its only benefit was the revival of Reiki and the opening of a prosperous era of cultivation.
You may have guessed that my commitment to the Taoist Academy is nothing more than that the forces of this side are weak, and I will get the greatest convenience for joining.
I want to shine on the lintel of Lushan, but I have too many constraints, and I am in this state of spirit, and I can't do anything about it. I thought about it, and I had to give up one way to go, and maybe I could go further......"
The phantom waved his hand, interrupted the other party, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, before I am reincarnated, I will lay all the foundations to eliminate worries." ”
"So you found me?"
"Yes, you are the only immortal, and there are many places to borrow your strength. ”
“……”
Gu Yu groaned for a while and said, "You have figured it out, it's always good to have a goal." You must have investigated me, I have always adhered to the principle of exchange, benefit sharing, you know what I want. ”
"Hehe, I'm already a human immortal, and everyone wants to go further. Although I was scattered, I still have some understanding of the way of immortals. ”
With a flash of red light, he suddenly flew close and asked, "Do you know what this world is made of?"
Well?
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment and replied: "According to modern science, it is composed of matter, we live on the earth, the universe outside the earth is the universe, and the universe was formed by the Big Bang.
According to my personal understanding, it is composed of the four worlds.
The first is the Tao, which is the origin of the universe.
The second is Qi, that is, time, space, nothingness, yin and yang, five elements, and so on, derived from Qi.
The third is the soul, that is, the realm of the soul, the soul, the consciousness, the gender, the mind......
The fourth is man, the place where we live.
The Tao gives birth to all things, and the Tao is in all things, and these are all part of the great reincarnation of the universe. ”
“……”
After he finished speaking, Wu Shan was also stunned, and sighed: "You can explore to this extent by yourself without relying on the guidance of the teacher, and you are worthy of being a natural cultivation seed."
Yes, your understanding of the world is almost correct, except for the origin of the Tao, the other three realms are relative to heaven, earth, gods, and man.
These four realms are passed down from one generation to another, step by step, people and immortals experience mortal, immortals comprehend the wonder of the soul, earth immortals understand the use of Qi, and the heavenly immortals go one step further on the basis of the earth immortals, and turn into Qi with their bodies, which is infinitely close to the Tao, but it is still not the Tao. ”
Wu Shan turned around and continued: "If you want to understand the way of immortals, it's actually very simple, remember one sentence:
The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi. The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth, and it is not used diligently......"
