Chapter 4, One Night Extraordinary Customs
He was in a trance for a moment, then took off his clothes, again, without any signs of being beaten.
Not only did the vision, but his body also changed. Chen Qinglang is a standard otaku, usually lacks exercise, his body is weak, his muscles are loose, and he doesn't seem to have the slightest energy. But now, I actually have well-proportioned muscles in my body. Reaching out and touching it, the muscles are strong and look very strong. The skin is no longer so wrinkled, and it is very firm and smooth.
Only then did he realize that there seemed to be a huge amount of power in his body, which was completely different from his previous powerless self.
"It seems that it is the effect of that half of the demon pill. Chen Qinglang muttered.
He washed his face with cool water to clear his mind a little more, and then began to reminisce about the events of last night.
The unreality emerges, but it is still dreamlike. If you want to fully accept these things, I am afraid that it will take a certain amount of time.
He brushed his teeth again, then went out and took out the two jade slips from his coat pocket, and the palm-sized jade plate.
These two jade slips, one is the cultivation jade slip given by the woman in red, and the other is the talisman jade slip given by the woman in yellow, cultivation is more important, Chen Qinglang is ready to check the one given by the woman in red first.
The appearance of the two jade slips is not much different, Chen Qinglang couldn't recognize them for a while, so he could only follow what the woman in red said, turn into a divine thought, enter the jade slips, and identify them.
It's just that he doesn't know how to turn his thoughts into divine thoughts. But he could roughly understand the meaning...... So get ready to give it a try.
So he put one of the jade slips in his hand, stared at it with both eyes, and concentrated on it, silently reciting in his heart, going in, going in, just like when he was a child, he imagined that he was taking things from the air and exerting his strength in his thoughts.
Chen Qinglang originally thought that this matter would be very difficult, but as soon as his mind focused on the jade slip, when he had the idea of going in to check it, his head was imperceptible, and then his vision suddenly changed, and his eyes entered a milky white space, and dense graphics and words floated in the space.
These graphics are similar to the talismans in zombie films, but they are different, the lines are more dense and exquisite, and they look like they have a sense of simplicity and obscurity.
Those words are all traditional characters, but Chen Qinglang can also understand them, and they tell about the role of characters and the like.
After casually browsing for a while, he thought about quitting, and then he felt his eyes suddenly pull out of this picture, and what appeared in front of him was still the walls, tables, chairs, and utensils in the room.
"It's amazing. Chen Qinglang sighed, put the jade slip aside, picked up another jade slip, and drew a scoop according to the gourd, so that the mind entered it.
This time, there were no graphics in front of me, only dense handwriting. At the same time, there is the guqin clanging, the murmuring of flowing water, the chirping of birds into the ears, and then, there is the fragrance of flowers, and even you can feel the fresh breath of the mountain breeze blowing gently, bringing the fresh breath of mountain soil and mud and grass to your face.
Chen Qinglang thought that he was hallucinating, but after carefully confirming it, he found that it was not an illusion, but a real sound of piano and water, birds and flowers.
He thought he was looking at a computer, looking at a virtual file made up in code by a modern engineer.
But all these sounds and smells were obviously not just to add to the mood, as soon as the sound of the piano sounded, supplemented by the sound of water and birds, and the fragrance of flowers and breeze, his agitated mood because he could cultivate the Tao immediately precipitated. Become like an old monk, the ancient well is not wavering, and it is as quiet as a virgin.
After sighing at the strength of the cultivators, his consciousness was projected onto the large piece of handwriting.
The characters are arranged in columns from top to bottom, and the columns are arranged from right to left, and the old typesetting method used is completely different from the current one, and I didn't get used to it at first, but after a while I got used to it.
In ancient times, there was no unified punctuation, and naturally there was no article in this jade slip. But when the sentence is broken, there will be a gap between the previous sentence and the next sentence, which makes Chen Qinglang feel very lucky...... Otherwise, just breaking a sentence would be enough to give him a headache.
"Taishang Xuanling Qianyuan Natal Immortality Sutra Daozang ......"
At the beginning of the scriptures, it is this long list of words. This column of characters is thicker and larger than the others, and should be the full name of the name of the scriptures recorded by the Taoist Collection. Chen Qinglang dabbled in the passage scriptures and knew that many of the scriptures had long names, so he didn't think there was anything strange.
Later, there is an introduction to this set of Taoist collections.
The Taishang in the name of the scripture is the name of a sect, called Taishangzong.
Xuan Ling is the founding patriarch of the Taishang Sect, called Xuan Ling Zhenren.
Qianyuan is the highest grade of the cultivator's qualifications, and the Taishang Sect divides the disciples' qualifications into Qianyuan, Qianling, and Qianzhen, and according to the different qualifications of the disciples, different spiritual books are issued. Then the master will see if he needs to make adjustments according to his real reaction when he is cultivating.
Only after years of precipitation, and even more legendary figures, can it be possible to implement the assembly line of textbook work on the dangerous path of monasticism.
It can be seen from this that this Taishang Sect is really not an ordinary bull fork, no wonder he dares to name the sect Taishang.
In addition to the above introduction, there is also an introduction to the path. It talks about "what is the cultivation of the truth", "why is the cultivation of the truth", "what is the need for the cultivation of the truth", as well as the general process and results of the cultivation of the truth.
What is Xiuzhen?
Practicing the Tao, removing the false and preserving the truth, and seeking oneself is to cultivate the truth.
What is Xiuzhen?
In order to throw away the dust, have a great leisure, and be at ease.
What does it take to cultivate the truth?
It requires great concentration, perseverance, endurance, wisdom and courage.
Chen Qinglang saw it and didn't think so, if he cultivated, it would not be for anything else, only for immortality and mana.
If a person is afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death, his heart aches for the passage of time every day, and he always sighs in the mirror that the years are ruthless, how can he not be at ease. You must live forever to avoid this great trouble.
If a person wants to do something but can't do it, doesn't want to do something but has to do it, can't point directly to his heart, can't reach his thoughts, how can he come from?
Immortality, mana, is the most basic human desire. This idea is a bit of a lower riba person, it can't reach the philosophical category of Yangchun Baixue, what to go to the false and keep the truth, seek self, and be at ease, Chen Qinglang is really not at this level now.
"The path of monasticism is long and arduous, and there are many and complicated places to die, and there are endless words. Therefore, this trip needs to be like walking on thin ice and be careful every step of the way......"
"The beginning of monasticism is the ...... of the mundane Post-Changsheng Pass...... Ascending to the Heavens...... Become an immortal and come to the blue ...... Soar through the nine heavens...... Live with heaven and earth, compete with the sun and the moon......"
Taishangzong divides the process of cultivating the truth into three levels, one is the mundane pass, the second is the immortal pass, and the third is the ascending heaven pass.
Among them, there are three steps in the mundane pass, which are physical training, true qi, and warmth.
Physical training, and the practice of martial arts in the world, the outside of the muscles, bones and skin, the inside of the breath, so that the monks muscles and flesh strong, sensitive, long breath, have a very high combat effectiveness. In this process, the essence of the air, sunlight, food, water, and beverages that people swallow is all refined to strengthen the body and internal organs.
This process can also be called "forging and refining".
True Qi is to practice a special method of practicing Qi, so that the body produces True Qi, when fighting, the breath in the body surges, the power is infinite, and the five horses cannot divide their corpses. And this qi can further strengthen the internal organs, delay aging, and at this level, you can live at least a hundred years old......
The reason for the emergence of this process of "true qi" is that the body has been strengthened to a certain extent by "essence", and it can no longer be strengthened by "essence" alone, so the method of practicing qi is used to refine the essence again, refining it into "qi", and hiding it in the dantian and wandering around the whole body.
This process is called "refining and refining gas" in popular terms.
Warm cultivation is to use the method of "hiding the knot" to enter the qi from the dantian into the meridians, from the meridians into the acupoints, shuttle out, continue to run in the meridians, and then enter the knots and exit again when the next knots are reached......
The trick is the entrance when the body supplies the energy of the "soul", and when the "soul" gets the energy, it will grow. Therefore, after being warmed, people's sense of hearing, smell, taste, touch, psychological quality, and thinking ability will be greatly improved. And the soul is prosperous, people will be energetic and energetic, so this process of strengthening the soul is also called "refining qi and transforming gods" in the cultivation world.
And the next paragraph suddenly made Chen Qinglang's eyes light up.
"There are three souls, one is called 'life soul', this soul is the main soul, born with the life of heaven and earth, and the life of people, this soul goes, and the fate goes. It is also known as the 'soul of awakening' and 'the soul of thought', with this soul, one can be aware of one's own existence, and the six roots of the six senses (sounds, tastes, pictures, emotions, etc.) and the feelings of people in the dark must also be transmitted here in order to receive awareness.
The second is called 'living soul', derived from the main soul, the memory of the life of heaven and earth, Chang'an once had a scholar hit his head on the ground and lost his memory, that is, the soul is sick, and the memory is lost.
The third is called 'soul', the wisdom of the life, some people are stupid, so the soul is weak or sick, and some people are smart, so the soul is strong.
In the later stage of recuperation, the soul of the mind is strong, and the soul of the mind (the soul of life, the soul of awakening) is also strong, and at that time, the soul can penetrate the brain and enter the spiritual object......"
Chen Qinglang remembered that when the woman in red gave him the jade slip, he once said, "Now your soul can transcend the limitations of the physical body, turn into divine thoughts, and when you enter this jade slip, you can view the information in it", thinking that he has reached the late stage of recuperation.
And the so-called transformation of divine thoughts, that is, the soul is strong enough, and the mind is strong, so that the brain can be penetrated, penetrated into the spiritual objects such as jade slips, and the information in them can be examined. It's not really a thought.
When he had a certain positioning of his realm, he had a certain sense of identity and clarity with this cultivation system.
Yu Jian Youyun "At this level, people can live to be more than 120 years old for more than ......", he couldn't help but sigh, he was wrongly hooked once, not only did he lose nothing, but he could live more than 120 years old directly, which was really a great luck......
After sighing, he continued to look down.
"The soul is strong, people have spirituality, and the power of heaven and earth can be echoed through the mysterious runes in the underworld, and the magic that ordinary people can't do. If you pass this level, you will not be a mortal person......"
"Extraordinary people...... Chen Qinglang was a little dizzy, "After one night, the world was turned upside down, and he was no longer a mortal......"
And after passing the mundane level, it is naturally the immortal pass.
Psychic, unity, Yuan Dan. This is called the three levels of immortality. After these three levels, in theory, it is possible to extend the life span to a point where you do not need to worry about life and death. As for how long it can be extended...... Nobody knows.
Because those who have passed the three levels of immortality will either continue to break through and enter a stronger realm, and have a longer lifespan without worrying about old age...... Or, one day, in the midst of this frightening immortal journey, there was a mistake in cultivation, and he died...... Or, in the midst of the enemy, the soul is gone......
In the world, there is no cultivator who can live in the Yuan Dan stage or above.
When you embark on this road to immortality, you will never look back.
And...... No one wants to turn back.
If you turn back, the ethereal immortal road in front of you will no longer have a chance with you, and behind you is just the long years that have passed, and the dust that has long since disappeared with the streamer......
Moving forward may be a nothingness, and retreating must be a nothingness, as well as an unknown number of years of loneliness, and the aging and death that will eventually come back.
In this case, how can we turn back?
