Chapter 43: The Story of Peng Zu

"Boy, I don't mean to blame you! I'm a cultivator, and I've long since seen through life and death. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf you can't see through this, you're not a cultivator. The unrestrained chief said.

"Yes, Xiaodong, the Taoist is highly cultivated, so you don't have to be embarrassed. Xiao Guo also said.

"Thank you, Uncle Guo. By the way, Uncle Guo, do you have any famous people here?" Wei Xiaodong said.

"If you ask that, you can say a lot. We have Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Peng Zu, the longest-lived person. How many more?" said Xiao Guo.

"Can you tell me about Liu Bang's story here?" Wei Xiaodong said.

At that time, Liu Bang was the pavilion chief and sent the prisoners to Lishan to repair the tomb, but Liu Bang released them all on the way, and finally more than a dozen people were willing to follow Liu Bang, so they drank heartily. Later, when he left Mangdang Mountain, a large snake blocked the way, and Liu Bang drew his sword and split the snake in half. Later, Liu Bang won the world. If you don't tell it well, don't laugh at it. Xiao Guo said.

"Is this Mangdang Mountain?" Wei Xiaodong asked.

"All around here belong to Mangdang Mountain. This hill is contracted by me. Xiao Guo said.

"Uncle Guo, you are really good here!" Wei Xiaodong said.

"Xiaodong! Peng Zu mentioned by Xiao Guo just now is also one of the ancestors of my Taoism! I'll tell you the story of Peng Zu! I came here to pay homage to Peng Zu, and by chance, I helped Xiao Guo, and this is the fate of this reunion. The unrestrained chief said.

"Dao Chief, I believe this. I've also heard a little bit about Pengzu, but not much. Wei Xiaodong said.

"It turns out that I told you the story of Zhuangzi letting the people raise cattle, this Peng Zu is also very powerful, he invented another method of health preservation, that is, the channeling technique. The unrestrained chief said.

Wei Xiaodong listened very attentively. As soon as he heard that the unrestrained Taoist chief didn't even speak, he urged: "Dao Chief, hurry up and talk about it! What is the channeling technique?"

"You kid, let my old man take a breath, okay? Peng Zu's story is very long, let me tell you slowly. The unrestrained chief said.

"Yes, Xiaodong, don't worry. Let the Taoist chief speak slowly. Xiao Guo also said.

When Peng Zu was young, he found that people's life expectancy is very short, and a parent who has worked hard to raise their child has just been raised, and the parent dies. Very pitiful. Peng Zu was determined to change this situation and was determined to find a way to make the people live longer. The Chief of the Unrestrained Road paused again.

Although Wei Xiaodong was very anxious to know the story behind, he did not speak because he had words first.

Seeing Wei Xiaodong's anxious appearance, the unrestrained Taoist continued: "At that time, Peng Zu's family was also very poor, but he overcame thousands of hardships and finally found a way. He found that people are prone to illness because they are too damp, which leads to premature deaths. The so-called channeling technique can also be said to be the predecessor of qigong! Through exhalation, exercise, and removal of moisture in the body, the purpose of maintaining health and prolonging life is achieved. ”

"Legend has it that Peng Zu lived for more than 800 years, all of which were the result of his health. In later generations, our Taoists developed the way of cultivation on the basis of Peng Zu's guiding technique. These are all the credits of Peng Zu!" said the unrestrained chief.

"Is there anything else? Peng Zu must have a story!" Wei Xiaodong said anxiously.

"Of course. Peng Zu is also the grandfather of all the chefs in our country. Before Pengzu, people ate cooked food, but there was no cooked food with a taste. Peng Zu discovered edible spices and added them to his diet. In particular, the chicken soup made by Peng Zu is really a miracle! It is a pity that the chicken soup that tastes like this has never been made in later generations. The unrestrained chief said.

"Dao Chief, if I have the opportunity to learn it, I will definitely make it for you to drink. Wei Xiaodong said.

"Then I'll wait and see, you'll always work miracles, and I'd better let me have that delicious chicken soup tomorrow." The unrestrained chief said.

"It's night now, how can it be tomorrow?"

"Xiao Guo, you prepare a grass chicken tomorrow and let Xiaodong make chicken soup tomorrow. By the way, there are no tea seeds to prepare some. The unrestrained chief said.

"I'll be ready, but, Daoist, do you say Xiaodong might do it?" Xiao Guo said.

"Okay, it's not too early, Xiao Guo, why don't you share a room with me! "No restraints.

"Dao Chief, I have to accompany my mother when I go down the mountain to go home. Xiao Guo said.

Wei Xiaodong went to the room arranged by Xiao Guo, although it was not big, but it looked very good. There was a bed with a quilt on the bed. There are also some farm tools in the house. It seems that Uncle Guo also comes often. Wei Xiaodong closed the door.

Time flies, and this is almost the third stop of Wei Xiaodong. There is an old saying that a tree moves the dead and the living, and Wei Xiaodong thinks it is really right. Along the way, Wei Xiaodong saw a lot of things and had a lot of strange dreams. I don't know if I'll ever dream again.

Wei Xiaodong felt that such a dream was really something that could not be encountered. The characters that Wei Xiaodong dreamed of left a perceptible image of flesh and blood in his mind.

Wei Xiaodong took out the "Xuanling Dictionary" and the "Medical Dao Notes" left by his master. He's going to take a good look at it.

Wei Xiaodong remembered that there seemed to be a sentence on his master's "Notes on Medical Dao", which was called the homology of medicine and food. At the time, he didn't pay attention to it, but now he wants to take a good look.

Listening to the story of Peng Zu told by the Taoist chief today left a deep impression on Wei Xiaodong. He will have to pay attention to this aspect in the future.

Wei Xiaodong thought of what the Taoist chief said about making chicken soup tomorrow, and felt a little too interesting. He thought he could really try it tomorrow. As long as they dare to let themselves do it, they will do it themselves.

Both Zhuangzi and Peng Zu are people who have made great contributions to people, so people will always remember them.

Wei Xiaodong opened the "Notes on the Way of Medicine", the section on the homology of medicine and food, which recorded that a lot of food can be cured for some diseases. Wei Xiaodong saw that there was really a record of Pengzu's chicken soup.

Back then, Peng Zu offered a bowl of chicken soup to cure Yao's illness. made Yao very happy, and sealed Peng Zu to Pengcheng. It is recorded in the book that Peng Zu added tea seeds to it at that time.

However, Wei Xiaodong was very skeptical, is it really so simple? Wei Xiaodong felt that there must be some secret that was not passed on, otherwise, why couldn't the later people make such a taste?

"Actually, there is no secret that is not taught, and that's how it is done. Just do it with your heart. An old man stood at the head of Wei Xiaodong's bed and said.

"May I ask who you are?" asked Wei Xiaodong.

"I'm Peng Zu, aren't you here to find me?" Peng Zu said.

"Are you Peng Zu? I'm so happy to see you. Wei Xiaodong said happily.

"Peng Zu, there are so many things to ask you?" Wei Xiaodong said.

"Peng Zu, people say that you have lived for more than 800 years, is this true?" asked Wei Xiaodong.

"Well, I don't remember clearly, it's been too long. Peng Zu said.

"There are also people who say that the reason why you can live so long is because you met immortals. is the seventh of the eight immortals, that's why they live to such a big age. Is that so?" asked Wei Xiaodong.

"I haven't seen immortals, I'm just good at spitting out the old and absorbing the new, and I will live a long life by insisting on maintaining health all year round, and other people don't care for their bodies, they just take from the body, and don't think about what the body needs, and over time, the body collapses, and once the body collapses, it is difficult to recover, so they die. You shouldn't have died so early. Peng Zu said.

"Thank you Peng Zu for your advice. I have a question for Peng Zu, young people nowadays like to stay up late, and many people have gray hair at a young age. So how do they take care of themselves?" Wei Xiaodong asked.

"Sunrise and sunset, this is the law of heaven and earth, you can't violate it, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, as long as you change your bad habits, you can slowly change it." Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, we must stick to it and form a good habit. Peng Zu said.

"Peng Zu, sit on the bed!" Wei Xiaodong said. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw that he was reading the chapter on the homology of medicine and food in the "Notes on the Way of Medicine". Where is Peng Zu? Wei Xiaodong himself doesn't know if what he just happened is a dream or a reality?

However, you can try it tomorrow and see if that's the case. Wei Xiaodong took out the "Xuanling Classic" again. I started my daily practice.

The aura on this mountain is really very strong, and Wei Xiaodong feels that cultivating here is really very smooth. Now he has a lot of things he doesn't do. Therefore, Wei Xiaodong can only go on firmly.

Wei Xiaodong thought to himself that this time he actually saw Peng Zu when he was reading a book and taking a nap, would he dream of someone else when he went to sleep?

The Xuanling Gong is running really smoothly this time. Last time, it ran to the twelfth week, and this time Wei Xiaodong ran effortlessly to the thirteenth week. If it runs to the eighteenth week, it will break through the second layer, and it will really enter the house.

Wei Xiaodong is very much looking forward to the reward of the Jishi chapter after breaking through the exercises, and he will bring himself a great surprise every time. Wei Xiaodong laughed at himself, relying on his parents at home, and relying on his old way outside. But, in the end, it's up to you. That's what I'm working towards.

Wei Xiaodong put all the books away and fell asleep on the bed.
