Chapter 955: Opening the Altar and Discussing the Dao

Hang Yu originally thought that Taoism was a very tedious, but boring and useless thing.

Unexpectedly, Li Zengshou's way of arguing is very modern, just like a teacher's lecture, trying to use words that everyone can understand. After listening to it, Hang Yu found that the Dao Fa didn't seem to be useless, and there was really a lot of rational and useful knowledge.

There are many Taoist techniques, which are divided into five categories, namely mountain, medicine, life, phase, and divination.

The so-called "mountain" is a kind of knowledge that cultivates the "body" and "spirit" through methods such as eating bait, building foundations, canons, fists, and charms, so as to achieve a full body and mind.

Bait is a method of using tonics, alcohol, and daily diet to strengthen physical strength and treat diseases.

Foundation building is a method of using Zen and meditation methods to control essence, qi, and spirit, thereby increasing physical strength.

Xuandian is based on the ideas of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and then a way to achieve spiritual cultivation.

Boxing is a method of practicing various martial arts to strengthen the body.

In the past, Hang Yu knew that Taoists would practice martial arts, meditate and practice qi, but he didn't know what their martial arts were, and the specific methods of meditation and qi were even more black. As for the bait, it is the secret recipe of the Daomen, and the method of making it is not passed on.

The Xuandian is relatively popular, and we can find the works of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi on the Internet, but most people can't understand it. After Li Zengshou spoke, Hang Yu knew that there are many Taoist mysteries, such as the depth of the sea, the clarity of the truth, and the brilliance of the sun and the moon.

This may be an exaggeration, but as long as you deeply understand the Taoist Xuandian, you will understand one thing - don't underestimate the ideological level of your ancestors.

When Li Zengshou talked about the Xuandian, all kinds of Taoist masterpieces and works that Hang Yu had never heard of were readily available, first using the original text, and then making translations, and his profound knowledge made Hang Yu gradually admire.

Let's not talk about how brilliant his medical skills are, and applaud him for learning so well in his profession.

The charm is a kind of psychic and cultivation spell, and its main role is to ward off evil spirits and suppress evil, and to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Hang Yu doesn't believe in this thing, like a ghost drawing, Hang Yu doesn't understand its true function at all.

When talking about medical skills, Hang Yu listened more carefully.

The so-called "medicine" is a method of using prescriptions, acupuncture, spiritual healing and other methods to maintain health and treat diseases.

Prescription medicine is a method that uses various medicines to make powders and pills to treat diseases and cultivation.

Acupuncture is a combination of acupuncture and moxibustion, which is a method that uses the principle of human veins and qi and blood circulation to stimulate the affected area and treat diseases.

Spiritual healing is a method that uses the mastery of people's minds to treat people's diseases, which is also known as "psychotherapy" in modern times.

The above are just conventional medical skills, and Li Zengshou also knows many other medical skills, including Western medicine, which can be said to be a very versatile master. If you want to be famous these days, it is necessary to keep pace with the times.

The so-called "life" is a kind of learning that understands life by reasoning about fate, and uses the law of nature to improve human life. The main works used in pushing life are "Ziwei Doushu", "Ziping Tui", "Xingping Huihai" and so on.

The way to do this is based on the time of birth and the theory of the five behaviors of yin and yang.

"The Taoist knowledge is really profound, and my head hurts when I hear it. Qiu Xueyan whispered in Hang Yu's ear, she was not very interested in these, and she had not reached the stage where she was interested in "life".

"Shhhh Hang Yu said.

Seeing that Hang Yu seemed to be fascinated by what she heard, Qiu Xueyan felt very bored, so she also forced herself to study seriously.

The so-called "phase" generally includes five types: "seal phase", "name phase", "human phase", "family phase", and "tomb phase" (feng shui) to observe the forms and phases that exist in the phenomenal world.

Printing is the method of looking at people's seals in order to determine their fate.

Imprinted in China, it used to be a certificate of power.

It is a method of inferring the development of good luck and evil by using the combination of numerology and numerology to deduce the development of good luck and evil based on the name of a person or the name of a store.

Human physiognomy is divided into two categories: face and palmistry, and it is a method to know the good luck and pathology of people by observing the lines and complexion of the face and hands.

Family physiognomy is the feng shui of the yang house, which is a method of observing its pattern and analyzing it to infer the good fortune and evil that human beings live in.

Tomb phase (feng shui) is a method of yin house, in order to choose a place to bury ancestors, and to achieve shade for future generations.

The so-called "divination" includes three kinds of divination, auspicious selection, and surveying, and its purpose is to predict and deal with things, among which the types of divination can be divided into "easy to break" and "six spiritual lessons". The so-called divination is based on the "Book of Changes" as a theoretical basis, combined with the mutual constraints of the three worlds of heaven, man and earth to infer good luck and evil.

Xuanji's main works are represented by "Qimen Dunjia", which deals with the factors of bad luck in the development of things through the combination of layout, cloth fighting, and charms, which are mainly used in ancient military affairs.

The main works of the Survey Bureau are represented by the "Taiyi Divine Number", which is a mathematical technique for calculating the political destiny of the country, the number of qi, and the law of historical changes through the technique of the twelve fortune hexagrams.

When Hang Yu listened, he found that those Taoist priests didn't seem to be very serious, and it was ordinary people who listened the most. He understood that Li Zengshou was just talking to them, and what he said was relatively simple things.

And those Taoist priests should have learned it a long time ago, so they are not very interested in these simple questions.

Speaking of nine o'clock in the evening, Li Zengshou paused a little and said: "It's getting late, you can go back and rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." Although the visitors wanted to communicate with Li Zengshou for a while, no one objected, and they were as well-behaved as a baby.

Obviously, Li Zengshou's status in the minds of these people is very high, so high that everyone dare not disturb at all.

"Could it be that this Li Zengshou is really a god?" Hang Yu gradually felt Li Zengshou's professional level, not to mention things like life, and recognized his medical skills.

Everyone quietly withdrew from the main hall and went back to the guest room to rest under the arrangement of the young Taoist priest.

I went back to the room, and everyone didn't talk much.

After breakfast the next day, Li Zengshou received all the guests separately in a side hall called the "Shenghua Palace".

"Does this Sublimation Hall mean spiritual sublimation?" Qin Jiuzhen asked.

"In ancient times, it was a kind of instrument for measuring grain, and Hua refers to the spirit of people. I taught the founder to take the name of the Sublimation Hall in the hope that we, the juniors, would always measure our own cultivation and have self-knowledge. The young Taoist priest said.
