Chapter 18: Taoism
The grove was silent, except for the occasional low chirping of the birds in the trees.
A four- or five-year-old child holds an incense burner in his hand, inserts five incense sticks on it, holds the incense burner in his left hand facing east, holds a piece of yellow paper in his hand, recites words in his mouth, and then recites the charm around the incense, then faces south and recites the mantra around the talisman, repeats it again facing west, repeats it again facing north, and finally faces the direction of home, looks down at the front of his feet and repeats it again.
After doing this five times, the incense burner is put on the ground, and when the incense is almost finished, the yellow paper is burned in the incense burner, covered with a red cloth, and then the seal is attached to the mouth of the incense burner. After returning home, he put it on the altar of the ancestors, burned the seal, and removed the red cloth.
This kid is naturally Zhang Shanhai, under Liu Daonan's bewitchment, he took advantage of his parents to go out and completed the magic technique in the woods. This please magic is more complete, and naturally there is a contract for the symbiosis of humans and ghosts. This means that from now on, the two ghosts in Zhang Shanhai's sea of knowledge can regularly and quantitatively obtain aura from Zhang Shanhai to maintain their vitality. Moreover, even if Zhang Shanhai succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will not be able to drive the two ghosts out of Zhang Shanhai's sea of knowledge. Unless Zhang Shanhai cultivates the Yuan Shen in the future, he will have to give these two ghosts a place to cultivate into ghosts and immortals.
Although the two old ghosts only have rights and no obligations in the contract, they are actually restricted, such as they cannot seize Zhang Shanhai's vitality, but must divide a part of the aura when Zhang Shanhai is cultivating. In addition, they can't do anything to harm Zhang Shanhai. There was even a time when I had to obey orders with Zhang Shanhai. In the final analysis, they are still private ghosts raised by Zhang Shanhai, but they have a higher status than ordinary ghost slaves. Therefore, they naturally hope that Zhang Shanhai can have a good future, and they spare no effort when helping Zhang Shanhai.
"This kid has a good talent, and it's good to be an apprentice." Liu Daonan inadvertently revealed the heavenly opportunity, and naturally he couldn't escape Huang Shiyin's ears.
"Just your three-legged cat kung fu, forget it. If you want to say that it is powerful, it is still the yin and yang technique of the yin master. If he cultivates a bull's nose like you, won't he hurt this kid? Huang Shiyin said disdainfully.
"If you don't cultivate the Fa, you will end up in nothing. Not to mention whether the Yin Master's Yin Yang Technique is very powerful, after all, it is by virtue of external forces, which consumes the energy of the natal life, and how many good deaths there are in the end? Liu Daonan asked rhetorically.
"You're not like me in the end? Have you ever helped me? Although Huang Shiyin agreed with Liu Daonan's statement in his heart, he refused to admit defeat in his mouth, but he did not insist that Zhang Shanhai only learn yin and yang.
"The two of us are now sympathetic to each other, and we are even more related to this kid, if this kid cultivates well, we can also sit back and relax, do you still want him to practice that dangerous yin and yang technique?" Liu Daonan said calmly.
Huang Shiyin didn't like Liu Daonan's preachy appearance the most, but he already agreed in his heart, but he still had a few words with Liu Daonan, "Since you said that you are good at Maoshan Taoism, let this kid learn your Maoshan Taoism to cultivate himself, but I also teach him the art of yin and yang." Let's compete, whether you are superior in Maoshan Taoism, or I am superior in Yin-Yang skills. Bibi doesn't know if you look at it? ”
Huang Shiyin and Liu Daonan argued for a long time, and finally the two finally compromised. Zhang Shanhai also started from this day, completely detached from the life trajectory of an ordinary child. Quietly do weird things every day.
After a few days, Zhang Shanhai made an excuse and slept in separate beds with his parents. Zhang Yunyang and He Ni saw that their son had calmed down a lot for a while, thinking that their son was starting to be sensible, and they didn't care.
"There are four orifices under the tongue, two orifices through the heart and two orifices through fluid; The power of a turn is like a jewel, and the mountains and rivers are full of spiritual bodies. The red lotus leaves are hidden under the Dan acupoint, and the red water circulates nine pearls. ”
At night, when Zhang Shanhai fell asleep, he only heard Liu Daonan's voice ring again. It turned out to be the song of the "Nine Turns Inner Dan Technique". After reciting the song, Liu Daonan once again explained in detail the key points of the first turn of the song recipe of the Nine Turns Dan Technique. Although Liu Daonan explained how meticulous, it was still difficult for any child under the age of five to accept. But since Liu Daonan communicates directly with Zhang Shanhai through the soul, some things that can be understood and cannot be conveyed can also be directly transmitted to Zhang Shanhai through the soul. In fact, it is to directly inherit Liu Daonan's cultivation realm to Zhang Shanhai.
"Bullnose, what's the use of you teaching such a profound thing to a little kid? Although this exercise is good, even if it is only cultivated for one turn, when will it be? Now is the era of the end of the Dharma, and there is a lack of spiritual energy outside, and the speed of this cultivation is even slower than we imagined. It's better to practice my yin and yang technique, this aura is rare, but it is not difficult to find a place with heavy yin qi. In the mountains and forests that he said, there seemed to be a lot of yin qi. Huang Shiyin said.
"After all, this kid is already related to us, do you want the kid to hide in a dark corner every day like you? The pain of Yin Qi backlash shouldn't be so pleasant, right? Liu Daonan said.
Huang Shiyin was said by Liu Daonan to be in pain, so he was silent.
Zhang Shanhai gets up every night, sits cross-legged, closes his eyes and concentrates, and waits for the breath to come in and out to mix evenly. First, use the tongue to roll the tongue upside down and fix the two orifices at the base of the tongue to close the breath, and gradually feel that there are two qi in the left and right sun meridians rushing up from the root of the big tooth and penetrating the two temples; When I entered the top door, I felt that the two qi intersected. Open your eyes for a while, then close your eyes, repeat the method as before, and wait for the qi to stop at the top of the mud pill palace.
Although Zhang Shanhai inherited Liu Daonan's experience, the speed of cultivation was not fast. Originally, according to the environmental conditions that Liu Daonan was originally in, coupled with the perception of his inheritance, in less than a week, he should be able to produce a sense of qi and feel the signs of a decline in true qi. But he didn't expect that when Zhang Shanhai had been cultivating for half a month, he felt the signs of a decline in his true qi.
One night, Zhang Shanhai's qi finally flowed into his brain from the mud pill palace, along the throat through the spine, through the tail, through the gallbladder and navel to the heart and chest, feeling warm and comfortable in the chest, which is a sign of the decline of true qi.
"Alas!" Liu Daonan's feelings are complicated.
Huang Shiyin couldn't stop giggling.
"Old Dao, I think if this kid practices Taoism and Yin and Yang at the same time, he may not be able to communicate with Yin and Yang and help each other. If the Yin-Yang Technique is flawed, isn't the Dao Technique also flawed? This process is so slow, if you really have to cultivate to the point where you have the power to protect yourself, when will you get it? Do you feel that your soul has been weakened a little in this time? If you have to wait until this kid cultivates Xiaocheng, I'm afraid that the water won't be able to quench the thirst of the near. Huang Shiyin said.
Liu Daonan frowned when he heard this, Huang Shiyin said that it was indeed the truth, with Zhang Shanhai's cultivation at this time, it was naturally impossible for the two of them to obtain enough aura to maintain their vitality. At least wait until Zhang Shanhai cultivates the Nine Turns Inner Dan Technique to Xiaocheng. With the current progress, I am afraid that this time will be a few years later, and naturally the two of them cannot afford to wait. What Huang Shiyin said was not unreasonable, although no one had ever cultivated the Dao of Masculine Qi and the Yin and Yang Technique of Yin and Evil Qi at the same time. However, the principle of yin and yang, the combination of rigidity and softness, is understood by those who cultivate the Tao.
