Chapter 32: Cast a long line and catch a big fish
Sun Yong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "I know a little, the immortal family is Yili, follows yin and yang, picks all kinds of herbs and stones, cooks three times and refines them, combines them into pills, takes them with wine, and guides them to live forever." ”
"Have you ever seen anyone who has served Dan to become an immortal?"
Sun Yong shook his head honestly this time. "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"Have you taken it?"
"I have taken it twice, the five organs are hot and dry, and the body is light and flying, which does have some effects, but it is too expensive to take it often."
Cao Miao couldn't help but laugh out loud with a hint of disdain. "It's a shame that Fujun doesn't have regular clothes, otherwise you can become an immortal, I don't know, it's very possible to become a ghost." He sat up and looked at Sun Yong, who was sitting cross-legged, with a flirtatious look in his eyes. "After the prince eats, is he like a husband who has been absent for a long time, a demon in his lust, no matter whether he is beautiful or ugly, he just wants to vent as soon as possible?"
Sun Yong's face was red and his ears were red, and he kept silent.
Although Cao Miao said it rudely, it was the truth. In addition to the heat of the body, the desire will also be high, and the idea of refining the brain is often left behind, and finding an old wife and a beautiful concubine to practice the art of sex is the final choice for many people. After a long time, the immortals didn't see it, their bodies were weak, they even had to be helped to walk, and there were countless people who could only take ox carts in the car.
Sun Yong wanted to become an immortal, and although he didn't refuse women, he didn't have much interest in women, so he gave up after trying twice.
"Do you know why?"
"Please ask the prince for advice."
"Everything has inside and outside, divided into yin and yang, internal and external corresponding, yin and yang are in harmony, and the party is the avenue. The solitary yin does not grow, and the solitary yang does not grow. There is only the pill outside the body, but the pill in the body is ignored, and the immortal asks is just a fish for the wood, how can it be successful? ”
Cao Miaokou is like a river, talking eloquently. At this moment, he is Huang Sheng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Changchun Zhenren Qiu in "Stop Killing Order", mixing the content of "Nine Yin True Scripture" and "Da Dan Zhizhi", vowing to stop Sun Yongkan from fainting.
In this regard, he is still confident.
For the Wei and Jin Taoist priests who had just learned to refine the Five Stone Scatter, the Neidan Doctrine, which could not mature until a thousand years later, was undoubtedly the future technology, and it had a market better than muskets and cannons. Defeating the enemy is the business of the powerful and generals, but it is everyone's dream to ask for immortals, and the market is not an order of magnitude.
When fishing Sun Yong in the past few days, Cao Miao was not idle, he was very well prepared, making up for the fragmented theories in the lines and integrating them with "Lao Tzu". Of course, there are flaws, but it is enough to deal with Sun Yong.
Even so, he deliberately talked about the clouds and mountains and fog, and many places were full of dragonflies and water, passing by, deliberately leaving suspense and creating a sense of mystery. It really didn't make sense, so he deduced that he had a vague memory in his dream.
His theory is half-true and half-false, but his performance is very real, his expression, tone, including some seemingly casual small actions, are very in place, and Sun Yong can't help but believe it.
Sure enough, Sun Yong fainted after listening for a while, and he was so excited that he fainted. With his accumulation of knowledge and the spirit of learning that he has always been accustomed to blind obedience, he not only did not have the slightest doubt about Cao Miao's theory, but consciously began to make up for it.
That's right, since there is an outer Dan, there should be an inner Dan, and people are the spirits of all things, if there is qi, they will live, and if they have no gas, they will die, and if they use qi as medicine, they should take their bodies as furnaces, which is the real Jindan Avenue. Those outer pills made of herbs and pill stones are only suitable for auxiliary at most, and cannot be used as the main means, or even the only means. Just like when a person is sick, keeping the body strong is the key, and the medicine stone needle is only an aid.
"Prince Takami." Sun Yong's face was red with excitement, and his eyes were bright. "Isn't this sitting method the art of practicing qi?"
Cao Miao smiled slightly. "Fu Jun has been looking good these days, so he must be sitting often."
"Exactly, exactly." Sun Yong stroked his beard, unable to hide his smugness. "Prince Meng enlightened, Yong practiced day and night for the past two days, did not dare to slack off, and benefited greatly. If nothing else, this sleep is much better, and it will no longer toss and turn, tossing and turning, like a pancake. Haha, it is said that real people have no dreams, and Yong has been practicing for decades, and he is finally one step closer to real people. ”
"Fu Jun thinks too much." Cao Miao wasted no time in pouring a basin of cold water to prepare for the next long-term step.
"Please ask the prince for advice."
"As the saying goes, there are many seekers, and there are very few people who have attained the Tao. I can barely say that I can see the threshold, but there is still a long way to go into the house. ”
Sun Yong was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and asked for advice again.
"This technique is only suitable for beginners, it is used to build a solid foundation, subdue the heart ape, and get a first glimpse of the wonder of tranquility. Only when the water is still can you see the face, and when the heart is quiet, you can see the sex. If you reach a quiet state, this technique will not help you practice, and you should abandon it as if you were walking on it, and you should find a higher technique. ”
"What kind of high art?" Sun Yong couldn't wait to ask.
Cao Miao glanced at Sun Yong. "Fu Jun, cultivate your mind before cultivating, you are too anxious. If you don't get Long, how can you hope for Shu? ”
Sun Yong laughed embarrassedly twice. "Ashamed, ashamed."
"There is one thing to remind the prince."
Sun Yong bowed respectfully, like a disciple visiting his master. "Please, the prince speak up."
"Inner Dan and Outer Dan, although there is a difference between cloud and mud, but the effect is similar, and both have the effect of strengthening and consolidating the foundation. Although the inner dan is not as domineering as the outer dan, it is easier to control and is conducive to the strength of the offspring. However, if you blindly focus on your offspring, you will inevitably fall into lust, which will be detrimental to your offspring. or infertility, or born weak, congenital insufficiency, often premature death. ”
Cao Miao stopped and took a sip of water, giving Sun Yong a time to think. This passage is the message he really wants Sun Yong to convey, and Sun Yong needs to digest it well and keep it in his heart, and the things before and after are all foreshadowing and cover-up.
In addition to frequent wars, another important reason for the rapid population decline during the Three Kingdoms period was hunger and plague, which not only shortened the life expectancy of adults, but also the high rate of infant death. Cao Miao had two younger sisters who died young, one lived for half a year and the other lived for nine months.
One of the reasons for the high infant mortality rate is that early marriage and early childbearing are prevalent in this era, and parents are still half-grown children and are not physically strong enough. Cao Miao attributed it to congenital deficiencies, and it wasn't all nonsense.
He went to great lengths to hide this purpose, not because of the two sisters who died young, but because of the emperor Cao Rong. If you want to get out of this almost prisoner situation and return to the center of power, you must attract Cao Ei's attention, or be vigilant.
Cao Cao's dream and the passing down of the art of Guanghei are not only a warning to Cao Ei, but also a temptation to Cao Ei.
Cao Cao had twenty-five sons, nearly half of whom lived to adulthood, and he was still in the midst of the war, and he could be called the spokesman for the stallion of this era. If history had not changed significantly with his arrival, Cao Ei would have died in a few years. At that time, he will probably not be indifferent to the Guanghei technique passed down by Cao Cao. As long as Cao Rong asks for something, the situation of their father and son being trapped in Yongqiu will have a chance to be alleviated.
Life and death, honor and disgrace, only in the emperor's thoughts. Either live well, be the emperor, or get the emperor.
That's what is said in costume dramas.
